MILLER BAY — To the Friends of Miller Bay, $5,000 and a lot of weed-pulling is worth helping the local salmon streams.

POULSBO — Though the North Kitsap wrestling team has vastly improved the past two seasons under second year coach Jon Cooke, South Kitsap is still, well, South Kitsap.
The perennially strong Wolves team soundly defeated their Poulsbo rivals 43-18 Tuesday, despite the fact six of 10 SK wins went the six-minute distance for technical victories.
SUQUAMISH — The concept that the Suquamish Tribe wants to transfer 13 acres of land from fee-simple to trust status is nothing new.
In fact, since the parcel that houses the Clearwater Casino was purchased by the tribe in 1988, tribal officials have been trying to change the land’s status.
POULSBO — In-class handouts and weathered textbooks took a back seat in Patti Webster’s North Kitsap High School biology classes Monday, as a lab experience vivified the origins of life.
Each year, Webster teaches students the ins and outs of deoxyribonucleic acid — more commonly known as DNA — but the opportunity to show students an actual strand of the complex biological code has never been an option.
KEYPORT — Though Keyport is often characterized as the undersea warfare center it houses, there is another side to it.

Now, it’s on the hunt for its queen.

POULSBO — It used to be that in order to get a good look at marine life deep in Liberty Bay, a chilly dive into its waters was necessary.
No more.
Now, all that’s needed is a trip to Poulsbo’s Marine Science Center, home to a new piece of technology that’s bringing the vibrant marine life of one of the arms of Puget Sound straight into the center’s exhibit hall.
POULSBO — Monorails, passenger-only ferries, busses and highways.
Just which of these will be the transportation mode of the future for Little Norway continues to be the debate with the Poulsbo City Council.
KINGSTON — It’s been a long and trying three months, but the cast and crew of “The Curious Savage” are ready for their debut.
Members of North Kitsap Boys & Girls Club have been rehearsing since October for their first theatrical performance, which takes place next weekend, and at the same time, gives the kids the new experiences that the NKB&G Club is all about.
The Hood. For those who are city transplants to Kitsap County’s rural areas or just watch too much Spike Lee, the word typically carries a negative connotation and conjures up images of concrete jungle living at its worst.
POULSBO — North Kitsap High School Senior Corina Smith isn’t sure if she’d want the job of President of the United States.

Of the 67 Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office deputies assigned to general patrol duties, 15 primarily work the North End. Two, sometimes three deputies, are on duty to patrol the area for trouble at all times.
But there is only so much the officers can do, especially when 90 percent of the time, they are dealing with the same 10 percent of the population, said KCSO spokesman and deputy Scott Wilson.
POULSBO — Educators Colleen Fairchild, Marsha Rova, Leah Titze, Patricia Sheehan and Rene Fossum teach all over the North End in various public schools and at different levels of K-12 education.
