my hands and washed them carefully, then took his wife’s hand and did the same. This gesture demonstrated his love for his family.”

POULSBO — The Port of Poulsbo will ask voters in November to expand the port district’s boundaries to match the city’s boundaries. Currently, the district’s boundaries and population are about half that of the city’s. Of the city’s approximately 9,300 residents, 4,548 live within the port district, according to the Kitsap County Auditor’s Office. The port will ask those other residents to annex their properties into the port district. Port commissioners say expanded boundaries would give all city residents a voice in port district business and would generate more revenue for the port for economic development. Commissioner Jim Rutledge said the district should represent all of Poulsbo’s residents. He said half the city’s population is disenfranchised from voting for port commissioners. Commission Chairman Tony DeCarlo agreed. “All people in the city [should] have a voice in what’s going on at the port.” See PORT, Page A9

OULSBO — When the crew of Expedition 40/41 launches to the International Space Station in 2014, some of the astronauts will have cozy socks to wear once they arrive. Penny Garner has made it her mission to knit socks for any interested member of the space station crew.
“It’s just a little bit of home,” said Samuel Ortega, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center systems engineer in Huntsville, Ala. “More connectivity than standard white crew socks.” Garner isn’t the only one with a hand in the project. Since she began knitting the socks earlier in the year, she has given anyone interested the chance to knit a few stitches. Each person contributing has the opportunity to write
their name and hometown on a list on her iPad. Once a pair of socks is finished, a card with a list of names of people who stitched each pair of socks is shipped with them. “My husband says I’m on a crusade,” Garner said. Because there are about 30,000 stitches on a sock, the project has given many people the opportunity to participate. Each person gets See ASTROSOcks, Page A9
