The balance between furthering the needs of the 23rd District and working as a team player on the state level is a precarious one at best. But even as things are shaking up in Olympia, we feel two candidates who have already been working hard for the taxpayers of North Kitsap deserve another go in office.
POULSBO — Outside of a 0-0 tie, the goal scoring was as low as it could be Tuesday night at NK Stadium.
However, the same would not be said for the collective blood pressure of those in attendance. That, for certain, was very high. POULSBO — Outside of a 0-0 tie, the goal scoring was as low as it could be Tuesday night at NK Stadium.

POULSBO — Coming off the first full park development she’s overseen during her time in Poulsbo, Parks and Recreation Director Mary McCluskey isn’t taking much of a break.
The first phase of Nelson Park is now complete and all eyes have turned to the 13-acre parcel just across Lindvig Way.
POULSBO — Jeff Lincoln’s conclusion that a water deal with the Kitsap County Public Utilities District for water was not prudent at this point found council support Wednesday night.
Instead, the consensus was to develop water rights in house while continuing to work with other jurisdictions.
KINGSTON — During her six and one-half year battle with breast cancer, Kathleen Sutton had to deal with traveling back and forth between Kitsap and Seattle for cancer treatments at Swedish Medical Center.
She and those who drove her witnessed first hand how such traveling could be a financial burden after paying for ferry tickets, parking and gas.
HANSVILLE — Aside from pie, standing-room only was the other tall order at the Hansville Community Center on Monday evening during North Kitsap’s only state and county candidate election forum. But everyone got their fill on both, including issues from acquiring open space to ferry services.
In a time in which the Washington state House of Representatives carries a small majority Of Democrats — 52 to the Republicans’ 46 — the winner of the District 23, Pos. 1 race will be crucial to deciding the balance of power in Olympia for the next two years.
KINGSTON — After two years of research on local trails and non-motorized pedestrian routes, the Kingston Parks, Trails and Open Space Committee has released a report showing how residents can access various neighborhoods by simply walking or riding a bike — without worrying about vehicular traffic.
‘“We’re in an urban area,” committee member Walt Elliott said. “An urban area implies you don’t need to take your car everywhere.”
POULSBO — Jokes are sometimes made about races where it’s practically impossible to tell two candidates apart.
Voters will not have that problem in the race for the 23rd District State Representative, Position 2 between Beverly Woods and Terry Ducheane.
While the two agree on what the biggest issues are, their solutions appear black and white.
Politicians at the state level must not be reproducing. If they were, one would wonder why funding for education and the future of our society (children) are continually overlooked by Olympia. Once again, the burden of this heavy weight has been shifted from the state to the backs of the taxpayers but if we don’t carry it, no one will.
POULSBO — Outside of North Kitsap quarterback Jared Prince’s nearly 300 yards of passing offense, the Central Kitsap football team had one enemy they just couldn’t contain last Friday night.
Time.
POULSBO — The leaves are falling, football is in full swing and North Kitsap High School is half way through its first semester.
That can only mean one thing: It’s time to crown a king and queen.
POULSBO — In a downtown area that prides itself on one particular heritage, Heavenly Choices celebrates the many backgrounds of the world.
And their philosophy is being embraced across the North Kitsap community.
HANSVILLE — In memory of two women from two very different generations, a group of residents created something that allows the rest of the community to enjoy the Hansville Greenway Trails as much as they did.
POULSBO — The line in the grass has all but been drawn for the North Kitsap Vikings girls’ soccer team.
At the season’s midpoint, North Kitsap has soundly defeated four Narrows’ squads — Shelton, Bremerton, Olympic and Port Angeles. But the team has endured two losses (South Kitsap and Central Kitsap) and one tie with Gig Harbor to put the Vikings at number four in the league.
LEMOLO — Two teenage drivers racing along Lemolo Shore Drive Wednesday evening ended their joy ride sooner than expected.
Both drivers, headed eastbound in their respective vehicles, wound up colliding around 7:30 p.m. Oct. 6, one ending up in a front yard, the other knocking out a utility pole.LEMOLO — Two teenage drivers racing along Lemolo Shore Drive Wednesday evening ended their joy ride sooner than expected.

SCANDIA — It’s harvest time again.
And for Ken and Mary Lou Jensen, owners of Scandia Valley Farm, that means stories in the pumpkin theatre, lots of flowers being fed to their goats and the sound of laughter coming from their corn maze.
KINGSTON — Ten years after the initial application for a planned unit development called Apple Tree Point, the future of when exactly the 106 homes will be constructed is up in the air — but far from forgotten.
While the approval process has been slowed by opposing residents and court cases, the vested project is still slugging its way through the county’s permitting system.
POULSBO — The first park development project in Poulsbo’s park system history is about to be completed.
And while staff praised the outcome, there was a big financial chunk to bite off this week.
HANSVILLE — It’s the time of year to indulge into two things that always go hand-in-hand very well in Hansville — pie and politics.
The Hansville Community Center Board and the League of Women Voters will be sponsoring a Candidate’s Night Forum at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 11 at Buck Lake Park. Homemade pie will be served prior the forum, which begins at 7 p.m., allowing residents a chance to socialize with the candidates.
