POULSBO — First Lutheran’s lutefisk dinner crew prides itself on serving handmade Norwegian delicacies to 1,100-1,500 people each year.
And when they say handmade, they mean handmade.
PORT GAMBLE — Finding “the zone” is often a topic among the runners of North Kitsap’s cross country team.
On Wednesday at NK’s only home race of the year, the team again worked to get to that place athletes often cite when they’re performing at their highest level. Given the results of the meet, one might conclude there were certainly signs a few Vikings achieved their personal zone.
POULSBO — A new vision to keep traffic flowing on State Route 3 may soon be in place.
But not before the public has one more chance to weigh in on the plan.

POULSBO — The Poulsbo Rotary needs a good home for 15,600 roses.
And it has a good cause to sweeten the deal.
The civic club’s annual rose sale kicked off this week. Freshmen Rotarians, who spearhead the sale, have set a goal of 1,300 dozen roses sold, 100 more than last year’s total of 1,200 dozen. The deadline to order a dozen roses for $20 is Oct. 21 and the bouquets will be delivered Oct. 28-30.
The Poulsbo Lodging Tax Advisory Committee is right to push for spending down the bar on what has become a large reserve of hotel/motel tax revenues. Why the tight purse strings?
POULSBO — Perhaps the most integral part of the Poulsbo Panthers volleyball team this year will be the hands of setter Amy Cox.
The ninth grade veteran, who’ll serve as the transition between defensive digs and offensive kills, has to be in the right position to set the ball — and then put it up just right for her hitters up front to kill.
POULSBO — Two people were arrested after a police vehicle pursuit reached speeds of 110 miles per hour early Thursday morning on State Route 3, according to a Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office report.

The eighth Annual Classic Yacht Association September Rendezvous will be taking place Sept. 25-26 at the Port of Poulsbo marina.
Last we heard, fireworks that go “boom” — i.e. explode — were illegal in the greater part of Kitsap County. Yes, they can be sold on local reservations legally but it is illegal to take said boomers off tribal lands. In reality, this one gets about as much enforcement as jaywalking.
KINGSTON — What do reading, practicing magic and holding a contest all have in common?
No, it’s not a Harry Potter book. Rather, it’s Wolfle Elementary School’s annual Garden Show and monthly Family Reading Night, all rolled into one evening at 5 p.m. Sept. 23. KINGSTON — What do reading, practicing magic and holding a contest all have in common?

KINGSTON — Drivers headed east on State Route 104 Friday morning got a bit of a surprise as they approached the hill before downtown Kingston.
A large, wooden, post-and-beam home was slowly making its way west on SR 104, headed for its new destination — the Stillwaters Environmental Education Center.
SUQUAMISH — Framing a picture or piece of art doesn’t just involve putting a piece of glass on top of the work and finishing it off with a fancy molding — if it’s done right, the frame becomes a part of the art itself.
POULSBO — Most homeowners know how be a good neighbor to the folks next door.
But the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is also looking for landowners willing to practice similar concern for the wildlife that surrounds their property.
POULSBO — Port of Poulsbo Commissioners had little to say and even less objection to their proposed 2005 budget.
Perhaps because the document proposes a leaner operating port and smaller increases for their customers.
GIG HARBOR — The battle for Narrows’ Bridge Division supremacy may have been won Friday night.
And it didn’t end the way North’s Vikings (1-2) would have liked.
Kitsap County and Hansville residents are looking to convert some 500 acres, including waterfront property, into green space. If the Herald was a real estate agency, it’d be fuming. Probably making arguments like, “That’s land that’s being taken off the tax rolls” — i.e. that’s land we can’t sell to clients.
KINGSTON — While county agencies and local environmental groups often test Kitsap streams for fecal coliform and other pollutants, there is another way to check the health of local waters — studying the biological life that exists within.
