POULSBO — With one week left before Poulsbo City Council casts its vote on the proposed municipal campus project, concerns have surfaced as residents and city officials ponder the possibilities.
BLRB Architects of Tacoma, which was awarded a $50,000 contract to conduct due diligence on the 10th Avenue site, presented its findings to the council Nov. 1.
“How,” inquires a reader, “can ‘A People’s History of the United States 1492-Present’ by Howard Zinn be such a lousy textbook when it’s No. 7 in popularity at the University of Washington, and a course at The Evergreen State College requires that ‘all students should have read it before the first day of class to give us a common background to begin the class’?”
PUYALLUP — Under a half-water, half-air night sky, a defensive game played out on the turf of Sparks Stadium. Air traffic was all but shut down for the night as the sideways rain provided a less-than passer friendly environment Saturday night.
Pre-game shenanigans featured dueling pep bands and dueling Vikings as the mascots went toe-to-toe midfield after the teams had headed into the locker rooms.
POULSBO — A mental health worker responding to call from a concerned mother was killed in a violent altercation Friday evening after he called 911 for assistance.
Poulsbo Police Departments officers received the emergency call from the Vikings Crest condominiums shortly before 5:30 p.m. and when they arrived minutes later, they found Marty Smith, 42, of Poulsbo, dead.
One of the most beloved animated films of all time will come alive on stage in Port Orchard, as the Western Washington Center for the Arts presents “Beauty and the Beast,” opening Nov. 11 for a six-week run.
POULSBO — When Bight of Poulsbo founder Bill Austin told city council members he’d like to give the Lindvig Bridge a face-lift last month, he got their support.
Now he still has their backing, but several issues surfaced during the Nov. 2 finance/administration committee meeting that council members and city staff are now trying to bridge.
The intersection of Bond/Gunderson roads has received quite a bit of ink in this column during the past year or so. That is because it — and the surrounding roadways — has spilled a lot of blood during that time.
KINGSTON — Having a company that can complete building material estimates and residential home design under the same roof helps clients get what they want sooner, as well as save money.
That’s the way the employees of the Kingston-based Marsh Menne Estimating and Design see it.
POULSBO — Even though the doors have yet to swing open at Wal-Mart and The Home Depot, city officials have quintupled their revenue projections for the upcoming year.
Initially, Finance Director Nanci Lien had estimated a $100,000 increase in sales tax revenue for the 2006 preliminary budget, but Councilman Ed Stern asked her to examine those numbers again to give a more accurate projection.
POULSBO — Saturday morning found Roseann Mitchell buttering and rolling lefse as a group of volunteers made the final preparations for the Sons of Norway’s annual lutefisk dinner.
Mitchell, along with Grace Overby, Mary Spray and Bernice Burns, carefully cut the six-inch circles in half before configuring them to neatly fit on serving trays so hungry patrons would have the opportunity to spruce them up with cinnamon and sugar.
All together now: “Just call me angel of the morning, An-gel — Just touch my cheek before you leave me, ba-by . . .”
If you’re over 40, you’ve got the rest of the song running through your head by now.
The song of course is “Angel of the Morning,” words and lyrics by Chip Taylor, first a hit in 1968 for Merillee Rush and the Turnabouts, and then a mega-hit for pop singer Juice Newton in 1981.
Neil Simon’s “The Odd Couple” is a play that has “legs,” as they say in the theater world. It’s been a consistent crowd pleaser since its first Broadway run in 1965, and in many incarnations since then. But the version being staged by the Bremerton Community Theater really has legs. And stilettos.
BREMERTON — Under a steady sheet of fall rain, football becomes a tricky game. North Kitsap’s C-White Bulldogs splashed their way into the semi-final of the Pee Wee championships Saturday in East Bremerton.
It took some time for the youngsters’ molecules to jive in the cool November air and both teams looked tentative as the game began. But with an 80-yard drive, NK started heating up.
KINGSTON — To John Clauson, the only concern residents seem to have about long-term Kitsap Transit service is that it not be cut.
The proposed increase in fares, the changing of the district boundaries and the fuel surcharges haven’t seemed to bother riders, said Clauson, KT’s service development director — they just want to make sure they have a bus to catch.
