Kitsap County makes big recycling push BY JJ SWANSON JSWANSON@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

A gift for the entire family Baby boy born Christmas Day in Silverdale to Port Orchard family BY KRISTIN OKINAKA KOKINAKA@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

Although 9-year-old David Price’s presents included a Nintendo 3DS and a toy helicopter, his best Christmas gift was his newborn brother. Blake Price was born at 9:51 p.m. Dec. 25 in Silverdale at Harrison Medical Center. The 8 pound 13 ounce baby was one of two born Christmas Day in Silverdale. Brittany Price, the mother of now four children, said there was never a plan to have her baby on Christmas since she was scheduled to have a Caesarean section Dec. 28 due to the baby breaching. But, the Christmas Day birth of her fourth — and last — child was a special gift. “You’re always with family and friends on Christmas,” she said. “He’ll always be with loved ones on his birthday.” Price, 28, and her three children and husband, Billy, had returned to their Port Orchard home for the night after visiting with other family members in Kitsap County for the holiday. Her mother lives nearby in Port Orchard

and Billy’s grandparents live in Seabeck. She thought she was coming home to a relaxing evening. However, as they were unloading belongings out of the car, she stood up and her water broke. The delivery was “easier” since it was a C-section and it wasn’t her first time, Price said. Aside from David who was born on his expected due date, the Price couple has 5-yearold Connor who was born a month before his due date and 2-year-old Brooklyn who was also delivered via C-section. Lori Ludlow, interim nurse manager at Harrison’s Silverdale site, said that any time of the year is a joyful and happy occasion to give birth but that having a baby on specific dates can be more meaningful for some families. “On Christmas, it just makes it a little more special,” Ludlow said. Doctors and nurses at Harrison deliver from 1,800 to 2,000 babies a year, said Ludlow. This equates to a monthly average of about 140 to 200 babies. Other than holidays that come every year such as Christmas or Valentine’s Day, there have also been specific dates that women have wanted to give birth on, said Ludlow. Those dates in the past have included June 6, 2006 and July 7, 2007. And opposite to those who may look for-

ward to having their baby on a holiday or significant date, Ludlow said that some people are adamant about not giving birth on days such as Halloween or Friday the 13th — or any holiday altogether. “My sister-in-law refused to go to the doctor until [December] 26th. She went into labor on the 25th.” said Ludlow. “Some people don’t want to share that day.” For the Price family, they were happy to have a new addition to the family on Christmas Day — even if Christmases will be celebrated a little differently for them. “It will probably be a lot different now,” said Billy Price, 33. “We’ll have to have a birthday party on Christmas.” The older siblings enjoy taking turns holding their new baby brother — with the help of mom or dad. Blake sleeps quietly and doesn’t cry. “That’s the thing I like about him,” said David. Although some people may not like birthdays that fall in December because they have to “share” with the Christmas holiday, Brittany Price said their family does not have that concern. “He’s our last baby. We thought it was neat,” she said. “We’ll have to separate birthday wrapping and Christmas wrapping.”

All of Kitsap County’s landfills are full, and the county produces about 180,000 tons of new garbage per year, according to officials who are looking to decrease garbage tonnage by ramping up recycling efforts in 2012. Olympic View Sanitary Landfill, the last operating landfill in the county, closed permanently about 10 years ago. It had reached a capacity of 7 million cubic yards of garbage before being shut down, according to a report by Kitsap County Public Works, Solid Waste Division. Now all the county’s garbage is shipped via rail to Columbia Ridge Landfill in Arlington, Ore. which has a lifespan of about 50 more years, said Chris Piercy, recycling coordinator for the division. “An area that is a landfill, it’s pretty much a landfill forever. You close it up and do some post-closure monitoring, but it’s not like you’re going to ever build anything on it. It’s lost,” Piercy said. Increased recycling rates could be part of the solution of overcrowded landfills. Kitsap County had its highest recycling rates in 20 years, according to a recent survey by the Washington State Department of Ecology. The jump of 5 percent since 2009 alone equaled 25,000 more tons of recyclable material collected and a 2,000 ton decrease in garbage for landfills. The most recycled material in Kitsap County in 2010 was ferrous metals, totaling almost SEE RECYCLING, A9
