POULSBO — The woman was well-coiffed and well-dressed, but she had seen tougher times. And she appreciated the
“I hope with these grants, you hear us saying ‘yes’ to all of you and the work you’re doing.” — Shannon Singleton, president, NK Schools Foundation
Poulsbo Lions Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund help she received from the Poulsbo Lions Raab
Foundation Bellringer Fund. “She told me, ‘I just wanted to thank you for your participation,’” Mike Brooks, owner of Mike’s Car Wash in Poulsbo, said. “She could have been your sister or your mother. She had been down and out and Bellringer came through. There’s so much
caring and sharing in this community, that alone is almost a reason to be here.” That’s why Brooks, once again, is donating a portion of proceeds from each car wash through Dec. 31 to the Poulsbo Lions Raab Foundation See BELLRINGER, Page A7
SUQUAMISH — On the Port Madison Indian Reservation, which has Native and non-Native American residents, the issue of law enforcement jurisdiction is often a challenge. According to the U.S. Supreme Court, Tribal police only have jurisdiction over Native Americans, even on reservations. So, if a Suquamish Police officer detains a suspect who is not Native American, the officer has to wait until state police or sheriff’s deputies arrive to take over. For a 911 call from the reservation, CenCom customarily dispatches Suquamish Police and a Kitsap County Sheriff’s deputy, who determine at the scene who has jurisdiction. This is also a challenge for Kitsap County Sheriff’s officers; there are only two assigned to North Kitsap. Policing may soon become easier. The Suquamish Tribe and See POLICE, Page A6

This year, 18 grants were awarded to teachers and schools in the North Kitsap School District. The NK Schools Foundation raised twice as much money this year as
it has in years past, giving away more than $59,000 in grants at its Celebration of Learning, Nov. 18. See SCHOOLS, Page A8
