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.

KINGSTON — The Little City by the Sea is known for its quiet, small town way of life. Pretty much everyone knows each other’s name and who is associated with what organization. There always seem to be plans for improving the area, from adding flower baskets on the lamp posts to helping small businesses prosper.
They’re not much for tooting their own horn but if we had our way, members of the Kiwanis would have an entire band playing 24/7 in their honor. The organization turns 90 this Friday and in true Kiwanis’ fashion, they’re quietly celebrating the accomplishment.
KINGSTON — They aren’t just out to make money — they want to make money for those who need it most.
The masterminds behind Grease Paint Productions LLC, Don Hill and Earl Williams, initially started making films to help raise money for their non-profit group, Caring Clowns International, and to document its events. The group of professional clowns, of which Hill is a founding member, entertains children and adults in orphanages, hospitals and schools around the world.
POULSBO — Nine decades of service will be celebrated by the Kiwanis International organization this week.
And though the Poulsbo Kiwanis club is much younger, it will be helping blow out the candles for its parent organization just the same.
KINGSTON — As Kingston coach Tony Chisholm walked to the junior high school at 8 a.m. Saturday morning, he saw a lone, young hoopster waiting to get into the building’s entrance.
Chisholm asked why he’d arrived at the school so early.
“Because,” the boy said, “I want to play basketball.”
“I said, ‘Good for you,’” Chisholm replied.
POULSBO — The lead changes in the hardwood battle between the North Kitsap and South Kitsap boys basketball teams was reminiscent of Washington’s tightly contested and often-disputed governor’s race.

KEYPORT — The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born more than 75 years ago.
He organized the Montgomery bus boycott 50 years ago.
And he died nearly 40 years ago.
POULSBO — On the gridiron this past fall, it was the Cavs who were victorious against their arch-rivals Poulsbo in a 36-30 come-from-behind win.
But on the hardwood, it was Poulsbo that had Kingston’s number, utilizing a little late game comeback of their own to beat Kingston for the second time this season.
POULSBO — The Liberty Bay Trail may soon be getting some finishing touches that were requested more than six months ago.
And there appears to already be money in the bank to fund them.
PORT GAMBLE — The old sawmill property may come to life once again if the Washington State Department of Transportation deems it so.
Poulsbo’s Olympic Property Group, which owns the sawmill site and Port Gamble, is the latest company to show an interest in letting its property become a graving dock for the Hood Canal Bridge reconstruction project.
BREIDABLIK — If you write it, they will come.
After five years of asking, physical education teacher Bob Webb’s letters to the Seattle Mariners baseball organization were finally answered. And the team’s response this year turned out to be a dream come true for young M’s fans who attend Breidablik Elementary.
OLYMPIA — A protest of Governor-elect Christine Gregoire’s victory Jan. 11 in Olympia included a bus-full of North Kitsap residents, each of whom believe a re-vote of the closest gubernatorial election in state history is necessary to determine the rightful winner.
KINGSTON — For the first time, the passengers stepping on to the foot ferry that was docked in Kingston Thursday morning weren’t there for a demonstration run to Seattle.
Most of them were commuters, going to work in the big city, just like they would if they were taking the Bainbridge Island ferry.
It’s taken about a decade for Port Gamble to get back on its feet. The closure of the long-running mill there left an unhealed scar on the waterfront and the economic future of the community in limbo. Environmental clean-up has been a long, consuming and continuing process.
POULSBO — Superintendent of Public Instruction Terry Bergeson’s trip to North Kitsap High School Friday included visits to some of the district’s most unique programs, including Polaris International School and the NKHS Visual Communications class.
