Measles continues to spread in Washington as cases in San Juan County have extended to a Bainbridge Island resident. A Bainbridge man in his 40s visited several places in Friday Harbor, including a restaurant where a contagious San Juan County man was at the same time.
I was sad to see Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Bremerton, coming out against free speech, selectively supporting who and how campaigns are funded. The First Amendment was not written in order to be fair in the eyes of one political party. The First Amendment was written for people we disagree with, not for those we agree with.
I am disappointed with the fragmentation of course offerings within our own school district. From Kingston High School’s get-go, there has always been a district preference for North Kitsap High School and related Poulsbo amenities. The list is endless: The battle we fought for field lights, the “regional stadium” (to use NKSD’s doublespeak) that says Vikings all over it, but not even a small “Buccaneers,” the types of elective offerings (in particular, the music, art, and CTE offerings), and perceived tighter staffing (larger class sizes), are all areas Kingston has ended up with the short end of the stick.
When David Foote, executive director of the Kitsap County United Way, first approached all of the Kitsap service clubs to join together and coordinate a countywide food drive for their respective local food banks, many were enthusiastic and began planning right away for a fall 2013 drive.

A Downtown Poulsbo Cultural District designation would draw visitors here for artistic, cultural and social experiences. It would encourage the location of more artistic and cultural businesses and the continued revitalization of downtown’s heritage buildings (Thor’s Hammer and Needle, whose graphic art adorns bodies to skateboard decks, occupies the oldest building in Poulsbo. Bluewater Artworks transformed a dilapidated, vacant appliance building into a vibrant arts center). And it would spur more arts and cultural events.
A fatal kitchen fire on Odin Street in Poulsbo on April 10 was caused when a resident’s clothes were ignited while operating the kitchen stove, the Kitsap County Fire Marshal reported. The Kitsap County Coroner’s Office said Harold Champeness, 90, died from asphyxia and smoke inhalation.
