    North Kitsap bridges not falling down
    August 4, 2007 4:00 pm

    After watching the tragedies in Minneapolis unfold since Wednesday, it has prompted questions about bridge safety all over the nation — including our own spans over Agate Pass and Hood Canal.

    Kitsap County residents will be getting a crash course in a lower quality of living next year, no doubt bringing about grousing the likes of which few other things can. Among these “things,” of course, are taxes.

    It seems like the community of Hansville, as well as other North End areas, is doing what many neighborhoods across the country are slowly losing sight of — keeping an eye on each other and providing help whenever the need arises.

    Cancer. In one way or another, at one time or another, we can, have, are or will be touched by its gruesome hand. It’s an indiscriminate killer. Slaying the good, the bad, the young and old alike — with brutal coldness.

    How slow can you go?
    July 7, 2007 4:00 pm

    North Kitsap drivers aren’t getting much love of late as it seems the general attitude here is to create an unnavigable obstacle course of orange cones, dug up streets and construction workers who seem to take pleasure in flipping those hand held signs from “slow” to “stop” just before your car can pass.

    Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
    July 4, 2007 5:00 am

    As a kid, the Fourth of July was pretty much all about one thing: fireworks. Oh, there were parades down the main drag on Vashon Island, musical performances in Ober Park and the requisite barbecues on Dilworth Point, but weeks before the big day, my eyes would glaze over as I envisioned just what the rockets’ red glare would look like that year.

    The Web site, Dictionary.com defines legacy as “anything handed down from the past, as from an ancestor or predecessor.” Each one of us, young or old, leaves some type of legacy behind wherever we go.

    Summer is major horse time
    Summer is major horse time
    June 27, 2007 12:00 pm

    As the bright sun beats down on the back of my neck, I carefully open the gate and approach the large horse eyeing me across the pasture. After a moment, he turns away with a bored expression, and I know I have the all-clear to approach and put his halter on.
    So begins one of my favorite summer activities. Horses are fun all year round, but summer is when they really shine — literally and figuratively. Trails, riding outdoors, even just standing in the sun leaning up against a quiet friend is enjoyable.

    June 20, 2007 3:00 pm

    We’re not certain whose bright idea it has been to start charging an arm and a leg for family fun events in North Kitsap but the decline in crowds will eventually do the talking. Port Gamble seems to be the big infractor right now, what with skyrocketing costs at Medieval Faire three weeks ago (up from $3 per carload in 2006 to $5 per person this year) and now the Civil War Reenactment following suit by charging a whopping $7 a head.

    We figure everyone else is asking the question, so why not your local newspaper? After all, we’ve watched you grow up, too. We’ve been there as you’ve completed unique class projects, acted in plays, took field trips, taken the WASL, taken to the streets with your school bands, scored the winning touchdown or goal, broke school records in track … and basically given you as much deserving ink as we were able to.

    We all make mistakes, it’s human nature to sometimes pick the worst decision available to us. That haircut in seventh grade? Best burn the pictures still hanging around in Mom’s and Dad’s basement. The blind date set up for Friday night? It might be better to take a raincheck and spend the evening with Ben and Jerry.

    Parking: the talk of the town
    Parking: the talk of the town
    June 6, 2007 8:00 am

    Parking in downtown Poulsbo has been an airless tire in need of a permanent patch for years. To be sure, it’s gotten plenty of hot air blown into it over this time frame. Plenty. But no one solution has been followed through to completion since downtown business owners began griping about it — sometime in the Jurassic Period.

    There’s nothing like it. Walking over the hillside in an already historic town and walking smack dab into the Middle Ages. It’s quite a shock, but in the best possible way, of course. And as the Society for Creative Anachronism’s 25th anniversary gets underway with everything from archery and heavy armor combat to rapier swordplay and jousting, we’d like to welcome every lord, lady, knight, damsel, lass and lad back to Port Gamble.

    The old out-of-towners are the root of all evil schtick just doesn’t stick in Hansville. After months of planning ways to slow down those who speed along the North End community’s highways and byways and pointing the finger at those darned “summer folk,” members of the Greater Hansville Area Advisory Committee and the Road Safety Advisory Committee discovered that those who exceed the posted limits are actually their friends and neighbors. OK, not all of them.
