Overlooked. Paved over. Torn down. Built on. Dumped into … the list of things we’ve done to the environment in North Kitsap definitely goes on and on. But as new houses are seemingly created every time we turn around, so, in some areas, is new hope.
POULSBO — Ask Patrick Mus what he does at the Poulsbo Marine Science Center and his answer is straightforward.
“Anything and everything,” he said with a laugh.
But ask him what he likes about his job and the answer is the same.
HANSVILLE — Aside from a slight disruption involving a squirrel and a hornets’ nest, last weekend’s Hansville Rummage Sale was a “blow out success,” said organizer Tony Atkinson.
SUQUAMISH — While The Beach House Bed and Breakfast is on the Port Madison Bay waterfront and has spectacular views of Washington’s natural attractions, it feels like a casual home away from home.
POULSBO — Lady Boothby.
Alice Hoffman.
Ken Goldsmith.
President Stanley Wilson.
Just a few of the colorful characters folks might get a chance to meet this weekend at Valley Nursery.
KINGSTON — North Kitsap Fire & Rescue crews were dispatched to the intersection of Pilot Point and Eglon Road just after 1:30 p.m. Aug. 16 following a report of a barn engulfed in fire.
KINGSTON — It’s a tough job but someone has to do it.
Eat homemade pie, that is. And lots of it.
Following the sweet smell of success of the 2003 Kingston Farmers’ Market Berry Pie Contest, the organizers are inviting bakers again this Saturday to see who will be among this year’s upper crust.
KINGSTON — The future of North Kitsap School District’s proposed high school off West Kingston Road hangs in the balance of two key events, each of which holds the power to permanently derail the project, or send it forward with new-found confidence.
SUQUAMISH — Visitors to this weekend’s Chief Seattle Days celebration will witness some new additions to the festival as well as a reemergence of old traditions, all in the name of honoring their ancestral leader.
POULSBO — Helmets have been donned. Cleats have begun to mat the green grass. Shouts of “One! Two! Three! Four! Five!” can be heard all over Hamilton Field.
Yes, football is back in North Kitsap for the Pee Wees. And this year could prove to be the organization’s largest year ever.
THE DALLES, ORE. — It’s Wilson County, N.C. or bust for the North Kitsap Babe Ruth 14s All Star baseball team.
For only the second time in the history of the organization, North Kitsap is headed for the Babe Ruth World Series after sealing the Northwest Regional Title with two wins Tuesday.
PORT GAMBLE — When Jennifer Marquiss received a letter in May announcing that her Kingston Junior High teachers and coaches had nominated her to be a candidate for the 2004 Miss Teen of Washington Pageant, she wasn’t really sure what to think of it.
BREMERTON — Nine-year-old Richard Dodd, a purple belt martial artist, can very humbly state why he received a second place finish in the Tae Kwon Do Intermediate Forms competition at AAU Nationals competition.
“I got second,” Dodd said, “because the person who had first had cooler techniques.”
POULSBO — After being missing for 22 hours earlier this week, Marilyn Carol Smith, of the 16000 block of Noll Road NE, was found safe and unharmed on Wednesday.
Hopefully the Friends of Old Man House State Park will accept the Washington State Park Commission’s ruling and not take legal action over the park’s transfer to the Suquamish Tribe. Not doing so would show that members still have faith in their government and much more so, would start a long overdue healing process between neighbors.
POULSBO — Below is a list of actions taken by the Poulsbo City Council at its Aug. 11 meeting:
KINGSTON — Few seem to have a problem with the way the Washington State Department of Natural Resources is getting rid of 390 acres of forested timber land near Little Boston, but many have a problem with who is interested in it — and who is not.
POULSBO — Alzheimer’s disease started simply enough for Bob Payne.
Pushing 80, he was beginning to forget things more and more.
His wife Grace, 63, said she figured that memory loss was just a part of getting older, but the couple decided to attend a free workshop on memory loss at Martha & Mary Nursing Facility last year.
THE DALLES, ORE. — Three years ago, the North Kitsap Babe Ruth 14s All Stars won the regional tournament to advance to the World Series for the first time in NK history.
Now, this year’s 14s are flirting with a chance to join that record-setting team — all in that very same Columbia Gorge town.
Four, three, two, one. No other numbers make hearts jump and pulses race at the Hansville Community Center in early August quite like them. And with good reason, too.
