Kitsap County Superior Court Commissioner Thurman W. Lowans dismissed an anti-harassment protection order against a former Poulsbo physician July 17. A woman who had sued Dr. Narinder Duggal for alleged medical malpractice claimed he made harassing remarks to her in the courthouse hallway June 19 after her lawsuit was dismissed.
On Feb. 13, 2014, Dr. Narinder Duggal was stripped of his medical license. This summer he is in court, appealing the state’s decision and defending against three lawsuits and an anti-harassment order. Also being sued is Nicholas Wyatt, who was Duggal’s pharmacist at Liberty Bay Internal Medicine, which is now closed, at Bond Road and Highway 305.
With each scrape and sand and brushstroke July 12 and 13, new life slowly emerged from the old building at 19010 Front St. The 1909 building was originally the home of Liberty Bay Bank. In the ensuing years, it was the home of the North Kitsap Herald, a motorcycle dealership and, for 17 years, Gifts of Promise. Now, as earth tones and deep blues replaced aged whites, grays and yellows, volunteers slowly transformed the 106-year-old structure into the Poulsbo Maritime Heritage Museum.
Fred Mackie said he started to look at God’s earthly creation differently when he was faced with the possibility of not seeing it again.
A condominium project proposed for a Poulsbo bluff with a history of slides has been canceled by the city planning director. The site’s previous owner regained title to the property after the developer reportedly defaulted, and the property owner reportedly told the city she has no desire to redevelop the site. Nevertheless, Harbor Lights Development LLC, a partnership of seven investors, is appealing the planning director’s action. The Hearing Examiner will consider the appeal beginning at 10 a.m. July 23 in City Hall.
The Point Hotel, a four-story, 94-room hotel, will be built next to The Point Casino and Event Center. And, as seen in other Native American hotel casino resorts, this economic venture is not just about gaming.
A Viking Avenue business owner will replace city-owned trees he removed between the curb and sidewalk in front of his business on June 27. In fact, Darren Hudson, owner of Hudson Auto Center, plans to go one step further — according to Mayor Becky Erickson, Hudson is working with city staff on a landscaping plan and will install irrigation so the new plantings will be watered regularly.
Loretta Byrnes is used to life at an energetic pace: training farmers for CARE in Bangladesh; helping women in Rwanda build up seed supplies for food crops; and distributing commodities to displaced peoples in Sierra Leone. So it was only natural, perhaps, that she consented to an interview in the parking lot of a bank as she was walking to her car.

On June 20, 1942, in a hospital in Wichita, Kansas, Perry Ann Porter Brown was born. A birth may seem like an ordinary occurrence. But this story is different because, for Brown, June 20 is more than a birthday. June 20 has been a magnet, drawing others who share June 20 birthdays to her like bees to nectar.
