    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.

    I’ll be the first one to admit that I was more than just a little skeptical when I received the first of what has become many e-mails from Senior Airman Jarred Taylor on May 15. I was looking for a local link to Iraq for a Memorial Day story, and I couldn’t believe that Taylor was totally legit.

    Viking Fest 2007 marred by crime
    May 23, 2007 7:00 am

    Why is it that whenever a community pours its heart and soul into an event, a few individuals see the need to go out of their ways to tarnish it for everyone? North Kitsap has seen it happen again and again through the senseless act of vandalism to places the entire citizenry is meant to enjoy.

    May 19, 2007 1:00 pm

    Entering its 39th year yesterday, Viking Fest has stood the test of time in Poulsbo due to several factors, the biggest one being the town’s deep Norwegian roots. It’s doubtful that tree will ever fall and seeing that the annual festival is tied into Syttende Mai (Norwegian Constitution Day), it will likely continue to branch out and bloom each spring.

    Being on deadline all week and having to get both the North Kitsap Herald and the What’s Up entertainment section to press on time, I tend to procrastinate a tad in other aspects of my life. I see it as a way of balancing things out to some degree.
    Giving a yin a yang and whatnot. (Yeah, right.)

    And so the Kitsap Regional Library system and the Poulsbo Fire Department are seeking their respective lid lifts as they struggle in the wake of Initiative 747. KRL seeks an additional 18 cents per $1,000 assessed property valuation, the PFD 49 cents more per $1,000 valuation.
    The Herald has endorsed both.

    It seems like, “There’s nothing to do in North Kitsap” is an all too common lament among youth here. Yeah, all this wide open space, ballfield accessibility, woods and water, what the heck’s fun about any of that? But adult residents can only take so much of the “are we there yet?” attitude before they feel the need to reply, or as the case may be, do something about it.

    I usually don’t get too excited about pageants. Beautiful, talented girls take the stage, one wins a crown, right? Call it being a guy or what you like, that’s just the way it is for me. Do I feel a sense of pride when I see Miss Poulsbo, Miss Viking Fest or Miss Kitsap at a parade? You bet. As a member of the community, I feel this should come naturally.
    Pride in the accomplishments of one’s neighbors, that is.

    Once in 55 years. That was the closing thought Kitsap Regional Library Director Jill Jean left members of the North Kitsap Herald Advisory Board with Monday night. She was talking about a levy lift for the library system, which has seen its usage here bloom and revenues wilt since Initiative 747 took hold across Washington.

    There wasn’t a whole lot of discussion Monday night after members of the North Kitsap Herald Advisory Board met with proponents of the Poulsbo Fire Department levy lift. It wasn’t needed.
    PFD Chief Jim Shields and commissioners Jim Ingalls and Conrad Green stated their case for a 49 cent increase — bringing the fire tax Poulsbo residents pay from 80 cents in 2008 to $1.29 per $1,000 assessed property valuation — to a T.

    As far as parks go, it might be Poulsbo’s best kept secret. Residents and visitors alike drive by the Front Street site, tucked away on a hillside across from Martha & Mary and nestled amongst the trees and the shoreline of Liberty Bay so often they probably don’t even realize it.

    Still being gouged at the gas pump
    April 11, 2007 8:00 am

    Last year, when gas prices soared past the $3 per gallon mark, North Kitsap residents were up in arms. It was an outrage, after all, and the hunt was on here and throughout the country for unseemly gas station owners who were price gouging.
    The tactic was sort of like the hopeless war on drugs in which the Feds bust the street dealer for selling a dime bag of crack whilst the Colombian cartels have lunch with the politicians. Ah, the swift and vengeful hand of justice.

    A few years ago, the Poulsbo City Council came to an agreement that it would no longer endorse taxes of its citizenry or candidates as an elected group. While individual members were free and clear to do so on their own, they decided that as a whole, it wasn’t fitting for them to do so.
