POULSBO — John Boyd is in the business of offering perks.
Besides a morning wake up, he’s hoping his new Poulsbo Perk coffee shop on Viking Avenue will also became a place offering perks to young and old, coffee drinkers and java dissenters and everyone in-between.
POULSBO — It can often be a struggle to keep a tradition alive.
But at the Poulsbo Sons of Norway, maintaining a 300-year-old piece of Norwegian heritage is as easy as a brush stroke.POULSBO — It can often be a struggle to keep a tradition alive.

POULSBO — For the North Kitsap football team, it’s a bit of a case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. And North’s Dr. Jekyll, said coach Jerry Parrish, is the team’s consistency.
Platform similarities between candidates for the state Representative in the 23rd District, Pos.1 outweigh the differences as far as Sherry Appleton (D) and Frank Mahaffay (R) are concerned but the latter are still noteworthy.

POULSBO — When North Kitsap football coach Jerry Parrish woke up the morning of Oct. 2, he felt gratified at the efforts of his gridders the night before.
For the first time since 1977, North had beaten its arch-rivals the South Kitsap Wolves 62-7. But Parrish realized something else that morning.
It was time.
The green and white Henden signs and the black, red and white Endresen signs that speckle the shoulders of Kitsap’s highways should be a familiar sight to residents by now.
The balance between furthering the needs of the 23rd District and working as a team player on the state level is a precarious one at best. But even as things are shaking up in Olympia, we feel two candidates who have already been working hard for the taxpayers of North Kitsap deserve another go in office.
POULSBO — Outside of a 0-0 tie, the goal scoring was as low as it could be Tuesday night at NK Stadium.
However, the same would not be said for the collective blood pressure of those in attendance. That, for certain, was very high. POULSBO — Outside of a 0-0 tie, the goal scoring was as low as it could be Tuesday night at NK Stadium.

POULSBO — Coming off the first full park development she’s overseen during her time in Poulsbo, Parks and Recreation Director Mary McCluskey isn’t taking much of a break.
The first phase of Nelson Park is now complete and all eyes have turned to the 13-acre parcel just across Lindvig Way.
POULSBO — Jeff Lincoln’s conclusion that a water deal with the Kitsap County Public Utilities District for water was not prudent at this point found council support Wednesday night.
Instead, the consensus was to develop water rights in house while continuing to work with other jurisdictions.
KINGSTON — During her six and one-half year battle with breast cancer, Kathleen Sutton had to deal with traveling back and forth between Kitsap and Seattle for cancer treatments at Swedish Medical Center.
She and those who drove her witnessed first hand how such traveling could be a financial burden after paying for ferry tickets, parking and gas.
HANSVILLE — Aside from pie, standing-room only was the other tall order at the Hansville Community Center on Monday evening during North Kitsap’s only state and county candidate election forum. But everyone got their fill on both, including issues from acquiring open space to ferry services.
In a time in which the Washington state House of Representatives carries a small majority Of Democrats — 52 to the Republicans’ 46 — the winner of the District 23, Pos. 1 race will be crucial to deciding the balance of power in Olympia for the next two years.
KINGSTON — After two years of research on local trails and non-motorized pedestrian routes, the Kingston Parks, Trails and Open Space Committee has released a report showing how residents can access various neighborhoods by simply walking or riding a bike — without worrying about vehicular traffic.
‘“We’re in an urban area,” committee member Walt Elliott said. “An urban area implies you don’t need to take your car everywhere.”
POULSBO — Jokes are sometimes made about races where it’s practically impossible to tell two candidates apart.
Voters will not have that problem in the race for the 23rd District State Representative, Position 2 between Beverly Woods and Terry Ducheane.
While the two agree on what the biggest issues are, their solutions appear black and white.
Politicians at the state level must not be reproducing. If they were, one would wonder why funding for education and the future of our society (children) are continually overlooked by Olympia. Once again, the burden of this heavy weight has been shifted from the state to the backs of the taxpayers but if we don’t carry it, no one will.
POULSBO — Outside of North Kitsap quarterback Jared Prince’s nearly 300 yards of passing offense, the Central Kitsap football team had one enemy they just couldn’t contain last Friday night.
Time.
POULSBO — The leaves are falling, football is in full swing and North Kitsap High School is half way through its first semester.
That can only mean one thing: It’s time to crown a king and queen.
