He discovered the grass is only greener here (it\u2019s blue in Kentucky), so he returned to again take charge of his 1954 green Hudson Hornet that has been in storage, refilled his pipe, and is ready to continue his smokin\u2019 ways.

The first one is the Viking Crush Golf Tournament that will be held Sept. 21 at White Horse Golf Club. North Kitsap High School Baseball and football coach Jeff Weible has put it together to raise funds for his two programs to offset costs associated with camps, equipment and uniform replacement, field improvement, and other costs. None of the money raised will go toward coaches\u2019 salaries. This is the first annual Viking Crush. Weible had talked about doing this for some time, and now it\u2019s here. It\u2019s a four-person scramble and it costs $100 per player or $400 for a foursome. The cost includes a golf chart, range balls and an all-you-can-eat barbecue dinner after the tournament. There will be a silent auction during the day, along with \u201cother fun activates\u201d, says Weible. For more information contact Weible at jweible@nkschools.org. Deadline for registration is Sept. 10. Weible is also looking for sponsors, so if you have the time and money, Big Dawg, email Weible and tell him you are all in. \u2026\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Bill-Hoke-book-cover.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-744\" alt=\"Bill Hoke book cover\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Bill-Hoke-book-cover.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Bill-Hoke-book-cover.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Bill-Hoke-book-cover-194x300.jpg 194w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Bill-Hoke-book-cover-135x208.jpg 135w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Bill-Hoke-book-cover-85x131.jpg 85w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Bill-Hoke-book-cover-280x432.jpg 280w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Bill-Hoke-book-cover-576x889.jpg 576w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Bill-Hoke-book-cover-145x224.jpg 145w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Bill-Hoke-book-cover-566x874.jpg 566w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next is Bill Hoke, local marketing consultant who also writes for this rag once in a while. He has published a book \u2013 River Voices on the Duckabush \u2013 that includes poems, haiku and sketches from his hiking and mountaineering. What the heck is haiku? Hoke, who lives in the Manette area of Bremerton, has hiked nearly 3,000 miles in the Olympic National Park and climbed most of the major peaks in Washington State. The book is available at Amazon.com and other on-line booksellers. \u2026 K-Mac has taped interviews going on from Sunday through Friday at his online position at ISPNSports.com. He was at the recent Boeing Classic and interviewed various golfers, including last year\u2019s Boeing winner Jay Don Blake. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Ken-Wills-curt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-745\" alt=\"Ken Wills curt\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Ken-Wills-curt.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Ken-Wills-curt.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Ken-Wills-curt-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Ken-Wills-curt-135x100.jpg 135w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Ken-Wills-curt-85x63.jpg 85w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Ken-Wills-curt-280x209.jpg 280w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Ken-Wills-curt-576x430.jpg 576w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Ken-Wills-curt-145x108.jpg 145w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Ken-Wills-curt-566x422.jpg 566w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also, Big Dawg, Lane C Dowell passed on a picture of the remodel of the Bremerton gym floor that now has \u201cKen Wills\u201d name in bigger letters and in a more prominent spot.
