POULSBO — The North Kitsap Viking boys’ golf team collectively closed out the season last week at an impressive 5-2 in league, losing only to Gig Harbor and South Kitsap while taking a strong third place in the Narrows Bridge.
Team play, however, is over. And they’re all on their own the rest of the way.
SILVERDALE — The field? Their opponents? The game time?
For whatever reason, the North Kitsap soccer team just couldn’t get its collective motor running in time for its first round playoff against Olympia Saturday, succumbing to the Bears by a 2-0 score.

POULSBO — The North Kitsap School Board faced a situation Monday that it’s not quite accustomed to: having extra money to spend.
The board, which had been seeking a tighter financial belt in all of the school district’s programs, received two offers from contractors to build the new high school in Kingston that came in far lower than anyone had anticipated.
POULSBO — The old days of the Olympic League could soon be back again.

KINGSTON — There is but one constant in Barb Fulton’s life as a North Kitsap school bus driver: her bright yellow Blue Bird.
The seasons change, the kids grow up — even the kids of the kids grow up — and the town in which she was raised gets bigger.
POULSBO — A year ago, what was left of the Poulsbo Fire Department’s 1924 novelty fire truck was nothing but parts in a box, stored in a dark corner at the district’s Surfrest station on Falkner Road.
Now, in place of the box is a newly restored Model T chassis, which will make its debut in the Viking Fest Parade this Saturday.
KINGSTON — The man recently scrutinized by police for his adult Web site business activities may have given the final green light to the North Kitsap School District to build a new high school in Kingston.
VINLAND – Children and adults alike pulled on their sneakers last Saturday, stepping out at the Great Strides Walkathon at Vinland Elementary to raise money toward finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.
More than 30,000 Americans suffer from Cystic Fibrosis (CF), a life-threatening disease which mainly affects the respiratory and digestive systems.
KINGSTON — The Kingston Parks, Trails and Open Space committee wants to find out who in the North End would be interested in making sure local parks stay as green and well-kept as they are now.
While the county often works with community groups in acquiring open space and, at the same time, tries to maintain its current parks, the KPTOS group is proposing a new tool that would ensure consistent funding for parks for the future.
POULSBO — “Clutch,” according to North Kitsap starting pitcher Jared Prince, “is when all the pressure’s on and you do something good.”
If there’s one skill that the North Kitsap baseball team does better than any other, it is just that — being clutch.
We’ve said it before and it looks like we’re going to be saying it again, Aqua Express’ service from Kingston to Seattle is a privilege — not a right.
POULSBO — Norma Hanson and the rest of her crew know that as winter turns to spring, Viking Fest is well on its way and it’s time to rekindle lessons learned long ago into tantalizing dishes with a traditional Norwegian flair.
KINGSTON — Pete DeBoer had a dynamite idea last winter, one that could help fund raising for this year’s Fourth of July event be less of a near-explosive disaster like in years past.
After struggling with money for Kingston’s July 4 fireworks last year, and finding that other community groups were having the same problem for their holiday activities, DeBoer decided cohesion was needed for the Little City by the Sea’s biggest annual production.

POULSBO — North Kitsap High School senior Jared Prince’s college journey to find a niche for his athletic abilities turned out to be quite the competition in itself.

POULSBO — Second-hand and pawn store owners who felt they were being singled out by the Poulsbo Police Department last month are feeling something they didn’t anticipate so soon: relief.
In abrupt fashion in April, 22 businesses were informed that, starting May 10, pawn brokers and second-hand dealers would be required to report all transactions in excess of $20 from the previous week to the PPD.
This might just have been a poorly worded document or a poorly executed plan but the fact that it got hardworking, honest business owners’ dander up and raised serious concerns makes it worthy of review.
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND — Despite the fact the North Kitsap girls’ golf team played what each of the team’s top players would call an “off-day” against Shelton earlier this week, in actuality, the match should bolster the squad’s confidence.
PEARSON — The buzz generated by teacher Scott Johnson’s Sawdust Club at Pearson Elementary School appears to be just as loud as the saws the students use to cut into the pine of their first-ever woodworking projects.
