Following the general election Nov. 5, Prichard or Worthington will replace Kenneth Ames on the school board. Ames was appointed to complete Kathleen Dassel’s term, which expires in December. Ames was eliminated in the primary election in August. Worthington led the primary election with 3,146 votes. See CANDIDATES, Page A3

POULSBO — One of the most successful hydroplane racers in that sport’s history is organizing a boat rendezvous that is expected to bring more than 100 boats to Poulsbo Feb. 7-9. Motorsports Hall of Famer Chip Hanauer of Seattle, who hosts a web series on marine-related activities, proposes the rendezvous to promote getting out on the water. “It doesn’t matter what kind of boat
you have,” Hanauer associate Sam Bisset said. “Our big thing is, we live in The Spot for boating. So, use your boat. Get out on the water. Boating is not seasonal — in some ways it is, Chip Hanauer but if you have a boat, try to use it all year round. The great things about this area —

He’s a 20-something Kitsap man, and he’s not unlike most young adults in the county. He holds down a job. Spends his off-time with his friends. And, like an increasing number of people in Kitsap County, he uses heroin. He describes heroin as an old friend, like anyone in the area might have. “It’s an old friend that I bump into now and again,” he said. “It’s easy enough in passing, just as you would bump into anybody you grew up with, you see them around.” The Kitsap man — who spoke on condition of anonymity — shies away from describing himself, and his current relationship with the drug, as a “user” or an “addict,” especially after experiencing a few scares from the drug. His experience, however, is not unique in Kitsap. It’s reflective of countless others in the county who have become involved with the drug. Heroin is not new to the region. Despite other drugs, such as methamphetamine, becoming popular over the past decade, heroin appears to be making a comeback, spanning the Puget See HEROIN, Page A6
