POULSBO —The need for additional sports facilities in North Kitsap is at the center of a plan to develop a multi-million dollar recreational complex along the Poulsbo stretch of Highway 3.
POULSBO — Just as a popular method of annexing land into the city has been reinstated, so has a perennial problem regarding annexations — who wants to be in and who doesn’t.
TACOMA — North Kitsap pitcher Jared Prince likened his baseball team’s entrance into Washington’s 4A final 16 with college’s NCAA basketball tournament.
“We’re at the sweet 16,” Prince said. “It’s like the NCAA — we have to keep on rolling.”
POULSBO — Maybe it was the smoke from the Viking Village. Maybe it was the lye from the lutefisk eating contest. Maybe it was the smell of a chainsaw carving into a piece of fresh wood.
POULSBO — As the line in the Monkees song goes, when it comes to reflexology, Ashli Schumacher is a believer.
A few years back, Schumacher said she didn’t even know what reflexology was until a friend asked her to “donate her feet” for a session. After receiving three treatments of the massage-like manipulation of certain parts of the hands, feet and ears, Schumacher said she was hooked.
KINGSTON — Norman Road residents have known for a while that their summer of 2004 would be disrupted with the construction of the Kingston Sewer Treatment plant. And project managers aren’t holding back any details, knowing that they will be making life a little rough for those living in the 20 or so houses along the rural road.
POULSBO — Charles Jensen may have been sporting the worst haircut in lutefisk eating contest history but his shaved noggin — with a square patch of hair and a miniature braid on its back — appears to have provided an aerodynamic edge at the plate.
POULSBO — Potential victims are being sought in a rape case against a local massage practitioner.
Patrick Georges Belhon, 44, the owner of Olympic Spa & Massage on Front Street and a licensed massage practitioner, was charged with rape in the third degree by the Kitsap County Prosecutor on March 2. Belhon was first arrested on the charge Feb. 27.
BREMERTON — In a pitcher’s duel featuring the league’s two best throwers — North’s Heather Case and Wilson’s Amanda Palley — the Narrows’ League Championship game could have gone either way.
Well, there probably won’t be a souped up Delorean, talk of 1.21 gigowatts or Doc Brown trying to read your mind but the Hansville Community Center will definitely be bristling with ideas that could rival the flux-capacitor.
POULSBO — Like most history teachers, Steven Paagard’s classroom is filled with posters of presidents and leaders, flags and maps of the world’s continents.

KINGSTON — The changing of leadership within the Port of Kingston has been creating some waves during the past year, but the newest management staff hopes to keep things anchored for a while.
Poulsbo continues to celebrate all things Norwegian this weekend as Viking Fest continues. For those who are new to the event or wondering why there are men and women walking around in furs despite weather in the mid-70s, here are a few statements and actions that just might get you through the gauntlet as you attempt to pass yourself off as a local Norwegian:
League MVP: Heather Case, North Kitsap — Case’s trademark — a grunt every time she makes contact with the ball at the plate — has been heard as often as ever in her last year with the Purple and Gold.
KINGSTON — It’s a sure sign in the Little City by the Sea that warm weather is on the way with the first official weekend of the Kingston Farmer’s Market, the opening of boating season and, more recently, the floral concoctions that have appeared on the old-fashioned lightpoles around t
League MVP: Jared Prince, North Kitsap — All-star football quarterback by the fall and all-star baseball pitcher by the spring, Prince does it all.
KINGSTON — The students in Kingston Junior High School’s “Black Skunks” Aviators’ Club come from different grades, have different favorite school subjects and bring different talents to their chosen after-school activity.
But the common thread that binds them all together — and has each week all year — is a love for flying.
POULSBO — The Miss Viking Fest Court’s first public appearance made a few retch.
But, of course, that was kind of the point.
POULSBO — It may not be a Viking long ship, but Lisa Conrad figures Viking Fest attendees might also be impressed with her duo of chainsaw carvers this weekend.
POULSBO — Three titles, one spring.
Never before has that feat been accomplished by three teams at North Kitsap High School. If it has, it predates legendary NK coach Virgil Taylor’s days in North Kitsap. Taylor, who still helps coach in the Vikes’ baseball and football programs, arrived in September 1964.
