Hansville man found dead on B.C. beach

On Feb. 28, the State Auditor’s Office issued a fraud investigation report that determined the Police Department must tighten its evidence-handling procedures.

POULSBO — Brandon Lee Blanford, last seen by his family on Dec. 11, was found dead on Sidney Island, British Columbia. Blanford’s body washed ashore Wednesday, according to a report by the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office, citing the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Blanford was identified through fingerprint comparison.

Brandon Lee Sidney Island is Blanford about 50 miles northwest of Hansville in Haro Strait, between Sidney, B.C. and San Juan Island.

The investigation into Blanford’s disappearance continues by sheriff’s detectives. There do not appear to be signs of foul play, Kitsap County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Scott Wilson said.

Search teams scoured the north end of Kitsap for Blanford Dec. 12-13.

The ground and water search included canine teams and watercraft from North Kitsap Fire & Rescue, the Suquamish Police Department and the sheriff’s marine services unit.

Blanford was last seen leaving his parents’ home in the 39000 block of

No. 1: One dead in shooting at Les Schwab Tire Center

On Feb. 8, Poulsbo Police shot and killed an armed man who had fired a handgun inside the

tire center. Prosecuting Attorney Russell Hauge determined the shooting was justified. The man, Joseph Matthew Henninger, 24, was a North Kitsap High School graduate and sometime Olympic College student who lived near the tire center. His family said he was being treated for depression and that his doctor had recently changed his medication from Wellbutrin to Paxil. They said Henninger may have taken a

wrong dose of the stronger medication.

POULSBO — Work being done to close a school in the North Kitsap School District has hit a bump in the road.

Citing confusion and mistakes during voting at the Dec. 18 School Closure Committee meeting, the “narrowing of schools to look into for closure was

unable to occur,” according to the school district’s website.

The committee will resume work on its school closure recommendation Jan. 15, 6:30 p.m., at the district offices on 18360 Caldart Ave., Poulsbo. The meeting

is open to the public.

District administrators will gather information on the schools identified as possible closure options from the Dec. 4 meeting to help with the recommendation.

The only school that made it on both commit-

Poulsbo workers keep the ‘local’ in CenturyLink Volunteers raise money, help neighbors

By MEGAN STEPHENSON

mstephenson@northkitsapherald.com

POULSBO — Dan O’Connell, CenturyLink supervisor for North Kitsap, has worked for the telecommunications company in Poulsbo for 30 years, under different company names.

But the volunteer efforts of North Kitsap’s technicians have remained consistent.

Blanford

Continued from page A1 Shoreview Drive NE, Hansville, around 7:30 p.m.

Dec. 11. His family reported that he left the house to go for a walk, unaccompanied, in the general vicinity of NE Twin Spits Road / Hansville Road NE / Point No Point Road NE. His family reported him missing the next day.

Blanford had borrowed his father’s coat, and the father’s cell phone was

O’Connell said there are several projects his employees do year after year, in addition to the corporate charity of CenturyLink. For the last 50 years — yes, a half-century — technician Dave Applegate has volunteered his time to help set up the light display on Front Street in downtown Poulsbo.

O’Connell said employees also heard of families who, because of financial reasons, need help maintaining their homes.

Employees even helped a resident rebuild a deck.

“We work here, our

kids grow up here, a lot of our employees [kids] are in sports programs,” O’Connell said. “One fortunate thing about Poulsbo, it’s a busy area, but still a small town where we can do stuff like this where it makes a difference.”

O’Connell said the employees are branching out more — into Kingston and Hansville and across the Hood Canal. He said they’ve been giving a lot of their food drive donations to the Quilcene Food Bank, which doesn’t get as many donations as Kitsap’s food banks.

CenturyLink in Poulsbo started out as Poulsbo Rural Telephone Company in 1907, changing names as new owners came on board: United Telephone of the Northwest, Sprint, Embarq and now CenturyLink.

Centur yLink recently donated $3,145 to the Kitsap County Food Bank Coalition, which was received by Poulsbo’s Fishline Food Bank in October and distributed among the county’s food banks. Local CenturyLink employees donated funds and food, and their efforts were matched by the com-

pany.

“We like to say we use the local operating model, and you can’t get much more local than that — local technicians and offices, trying to give back to the community that gives back to us,” said Jan Kampbell, spokeswoman for CenturyLink in Western Washington.

The company also offers several ways for low-income families to get discounts on their Internet or phone bill.

Qualifying homes can get Internet service for just $10 a month, if the family is eligible for one or more federal or state-aided assis-

tance, such as Medicaid, food stamps, Head Start, or Temporary Assistance to Needy Families.

Kampbell said CenturyLink also offers a deep discount to Tribal members living on reservations — telephone service as little as $1 per month — through the Lifeline program, which is administered through the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Another volunteer program that O’Connell said he remembered from many years ago has been

in a coat pocket. During the search, the Sheriff’s Department asked Cencom to ping the phone, and search and rescue personnel found the coat and cell phone on a beach in Hansville.

Blanford had a history of despondency and was being treated for it, according to a Sheriff’s Department report. He lived alone in Bremerton but had a girlfriend and a web design business, according to the report.

Referring to his son’s

despondency, the father said he hoped others with relatives who are despondent “will examine their relationships and see what they can do now. I hope that something good comes out of this.”

The discover y of Blanford’s body was the second discovery this week involving a missing Kitsap County resident.

Wednesday afternoon, the body of a 72-year-old East Bremerton man was found on the eastern shoreline of Dyes Inlet, in the

Tracyton area of Central Kitsap.

Sheriff’s detectives are investigating the man’s death, according to the Sheriff’s Department.

Kitsap County Sheriff’s search and rescue personnel, together with sheriff’s detectives and a waterborne craft from the sheriff’s marine services unit, began searching for the man at about 1 p.m. Wednesday.

The marine services unit found his body around 3:20 p.m.

The man was last seen

Dec. 18. Family members notified the Sheriff’s Department Dec. 20 that they hadn’t heard from him but didn’t want to list him as missing at that time.

“Sherif f’s deputies searched the man’s residence, the surrounding property and conducted inquiries of adjacent properties and local establishments,” sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Scott Wilson reported.

“Although characterized as unusual, there was nothing suspicious about the

fact that he hadn’t communicated with his family.”

After a request from the family on Dec. 21, he was entered into the national database as a missing person.

The Kitsap County Coroner is conducting an investigation and will confirm the man’s identity. The county’s forensic pathologist will conduct an autopsy and the coroner will determine cause and manner of death.

Closure

Continued from page A1 The only school immune from closure is Poulsbo Elementary, Superintendent Patty Page said said.

Voting was done Dec. 18 using an electronic voting system. There was confusion in the school ranking system, and some committee members voted more than they should have, Page said.

The board’s goal is to close a school starting in the 2013-14 school year.

The school board is considering closing a school because of a decline in enrollment and revenue.

A school closure would save the district about $300,000 to $400,000 each year because of the reduction in staff and site-related expenses. The full savings would most likely not be seen the first year because of the cost of moving personnel, students and equipment to other schools.

The goal of the committee is to make a closure recommendation to the North Kitsap School Board by February. The last committee meeting is scheduled Feb. 19. The school board will make the final decision and does not have to follow the committee’s recommendation. The committee will give the school board a ranked order of schools to close, with reasons for why the school is on the list.

Though narrowing the list of school-closure recommendations was delayed, the committee is still on track to meet the February deadline, Page said.

CenturyLink Continued from page A2

revived. Kampbell said a lot of employees were asking if the company could donate money to a cause they cared about, and the company agreed to match volunteer time.

For every 40 hours of volunteer time the employee donates to a nonprofit organization (in six months), CenturyLink will donate a $500 grant to the organization.

IN OUR OPINION

Here’s what we wish for in 2013 A

new year dawns, and it brings with it new opportunities as well as challenges.

Welcome to 2013. Here are some pressing issues that need our attention; these issues are even more pressing because they make a repeat appearance on our annual list.

No traffic fatalities in 2013: This year, we’d like to see a road safety summit in North Kitsap, a forum in which residents and representatives of our public safety agencies can discuss the area’s danger spots and ways to improve safety there.

There were five traffic-related fatalities in North Kitsap in 2011.

There were seven traffic-related fatalities in North Kitsap in 2012. There were numerous other injury crashes in the area; a crash in January on Hansville Road was that road’s 56th crash since 2005.

Some roads may need signage: “Slow down.” “Watch your speed limit.” “Curves ahead.” “Road dangerous when speeding.” Perhaps we need signage that notes how many lives have been lost within a certain time period. Ice-alert indicator signs have dials that change from reflective silver to reflective blue when the temperature drops and icy road conditions are likely; those could be helpful. Solutions are out there; a forum would bring those solutions to the fore.

Let 2013 be the year when there were no traffic-related fatalities in North Kitsap.

Branding and vision for Viking Avenue: This topped our 2012 list. We’re glad the Poulsbo City Council has put it on its priority list for 2013.

As we stated a year ago, no other area of the city has more potential. Street improvements have been completed to the city limits. All necessary infrastructure is installed — curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street lighting, and utilities. There are established businesses here: Ag-related services, a bank, brewery, children’s clothing store, grocery, home services, movie theater and restaurants, and historical sites such as the Martinson Cabin Museum, Nelson Park, and the County Road 50 Walking Trail. Viking Avenue is a great alternative route to Silverdale.

Viking Avenue needs a new brand and a new vision. Businesses and the city began that discussion in October 2011; from it emerged the Christmas tree-lighting ceremony. The new Viking statue is a prominent presence at this entry into the city.

An effort to move North Kitsap Fishline and the Poulsbo Farmers Market to Viking Avenue almost succeeded.

An organization of businesses and property owners similar to the Historic Downtown Poulsbo Association could help identify services missing in Poulsbo that can be accommodated on Viking Avenue; the thoroughfare’s proximity to Liberty Bay See EDITORIAL, Page A5

for the record n According to the prosecuting attorney’s report of the incident, the officer that shot Thomas Anthony Black in Suquamish Dec. 8, 2011 reported seeing a revolver in Black’s hand. The searching officers found a plastic toy gun that had been painted black “in an apparent attempt to make it look like a real gun.” The fact that it was a plastic toy gun was not included in a reference to the incident in the story, “Mayor wants school resource officer,” page A1, Dec 21 Herald.

— Accuracy and fairness are fundamental to good journalism. If you believe we have erred, call Editor Richard Walker at (360) 7794464, or send an e-mail to rwalker@northkitsapherald.com

More reaction to school shootings in Newtown People have been asking in the aftermath of the Newtown tragedy, “How could God allow that to happen?”

Well, let me think. We’ve legislated God out of every public area of life, especially in the schools, and confined Him to the churches.

We’ve made our schools “drugfree zones,” “gun-free zones,” and “God-free zones.” Then we’re surprised when He doesn’t prevent what happened in Newtown?

Even in churches, many people would like God to be just a soft cuddly “baby-Jesus-in-a-manger” or a jolly Santa Claus rather than an Aslan the Lion as in “The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.”

When Susan in that book says, “Is he quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion.”

Mr. Beaver replies “Safe? Don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ’Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”

God never forces Himself on anyone, but He has warned us about how things will be if we choose to exclude Him and His protective presence from our lives.

So don’t be shocked if, “when the cat is removed, the rats begin to show up.”

A recent front-page story in the North Kitsap Herald told how Mayor Erickson wants to station a policeman among 2,500 school children for their safety (“Mayor wants school resource officer,” page A1, Dec 21 Herald).

That seems to be a well-intentioned thought. However, in my opinion, that’s like treating a symptom rather than getting to the root cause of school violence.

School children at all levels are subjected to a steady stream of video games, television shows, movies at the mall, advertising, sports and news of military “conflicts” that all portray violence on a 24/7 basis.

School sports such as football encourage chldren to “put a hit” on one another. And successful football players go on to win schol-

arships in college and then multimillion dollar contracts in the NFL. Families will take their school children to church, where they teach the Ten Commandments, including “Thou shall not kill.” But after church, the television comes on to football, with head concussions and injury as just part of “the game.”

Thirty years or so of nonstop wars have brought governmental culture to the point where the president of the United States has a daily kill list, with his finger on the trigger of a predator missile that will kill human beings half way around the world. All the president needs is some special ops intel to tell him that a “bad guy” needs to be killed.

So, in my opinion, school violence and violence in general in our U.S. society is a symptom of an environment that glorifies and rewards violence. When violence is no longer rewarded and glorified as a solution to a problem, only then, in my opinion, will we see a cessation in violence in our society.

As a society, I believe that we need to examine our purpose as a people. When we do that, I believe our school children and all of us will be safer.

I do not need a weapon, a firearm. You have no need of the same.

With the exception of a firearm designed for hunting, all other firearms are designed to kill a human being.

It is time to prohibit and destroy all weapons that are intended only to kill people. There is no rational reason that everyone be armed.

Are we all to be at war with each other?

From whom are we defending?

My neighbors? No! They are fine people and I have nothing to fear from them. Those who have mental disturbances? I think not, if they have no access to killing devices.

Gun ownership, other than for hunting game animals, makes no sense.

Arguments on behalf of gun ownership by the National Rifle Association amount to drivel. How do they profit?

Shop with a Cop is a beautiful program My wife and I would like to send a big “thank you” to our law enforcement men and women who donated time, money and compassion for young children and youth in need of a big bundle of Christmas Spirit.

Yes, Santa does exist and loves all children. Santa needed workers and our law enforcement representatives, along with other departments — Navy, Coast Guard, etc.

— and numerous others stepped in to help. I also want to say thank you to Walmart for their help.

It’s a great event, and at times very emotional for my wife and I to see a tall State Patrol officer helping a small, young child

Poulsbo’s other business districts have pulled through. Viking Avenue is an important part of the city’s history and economy. We are confident that it can be a vibrant thoroughfare once again.

Expand the Poulsbo Port District’s boundaries: This also was on our 2012 list. The Poulsbo Port Commission should put annexation on the 2013 ballot.

Voters created the Port of Poulsbo in 1951 to operate marine- and recreation-related facilities and help bring economic development — investment and jobs — to the community. But as the city boundaries have grown, the port district boundaries have not. As a result, only half of the city’s commercial and residential property owners pay a property tax to support a

port district that benefits the entire city.

The Poulsbo Port District’s boundaries should be enlarged to match the city’s boundaries.

The benefits: All voters in Poulsbo would be able to vote for port commissioners; currently, only port district residents can do that. All residents of Poulsbo would have a voice in port matters. The en-

larged port district would generate significant tax revenue that can be used to replace the breakwater and its creosoted pilings; improve the seaplane dock and the marina, so it can accommodate larger tour vessels; and prevent further erosion at the foot of Anderson Parkway.

Larger port district boundaries would also empower the commission to look beyond the waterfront for

economic development.

Under state law, the port district could play a major role in economic revitalization in Poulsbo through the acquisition of property for commercial, ecotourism and recreational uses.

The North Kitsap Herald wishes everyone a healthy, prosperous and safe 2013.

The young people arrived with a full police escort, including sirens and lights, which pleased Santa and Mrs. Claus as Elf Sheriff Boyer drove the special patrol car that brought Santa. The backup came from Chief of Corrections Elf Ned. Thanks also to Corrections and their ball of fire and energy, Sgt. Penny, who is one of the event coordinators.

I would also like people

to know there is great support at this event from the Suquamish and Port Gamble S’Klallam police departments.

In closing, my wife and I, along with Santa, are reaching out to law enforcement with a big “be safe and God bless you, Merry Christmas” hug.

2012 Miss Poulsbo thanks family, friends for support MY VIEW I will never forget the night I was crowned the 59th Miss Poulsbo.

It was such an honor to be able to represent such an amazing and loving community. I’ve had such a great experience and have had the privilege to work alongside with many important and dedicated people.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without my supportive family.

I’d like to thank: My Nana, for always being there whenever I need her, my cuddle buddy when I had a rough day and always by my side telling me that I can do it and she believes in me. She has made me into the young woman I am today.

My Dad. Even though we both have busy schedules, we always seem to make time for our daddy/daughter dates. I am so proud to be the daughter of such a hard-working and generous man. He can always make me smile no matter what kind of day I've had.

My sister, Jordan. I don’t know where I’d be without her. She is an incredible blessing and I can honestly say that my sister is my best friend.

She has never left my side, gives honest advice, and at the end of the day I know I can count on her.

I hope that I am someone she looks up to, and that she has wonderful experiences in her future.

By MICHAELA MEEKER

Lastly, I’d like to thank my caring stepmom, Sharon, for always taking me and scheduling my appointments, making sure I’m on track, and being the motherly figure that I need in my life. I appreciate everything she does for me.

Rayden Cardoza, my Little Sister for the pageant, is such a sweet and beautiful girl. I am very blessed to have had her as my Little Sister. Her future is so bright and I hope I have made a positive impact in her life.

I would also really love to thank my Corvette driver, Dave Ellingson, for always bringing me water, making me feel comfortable, letting me sit in his god-of-a-car, and for always offering anything I would possibly need. I am happy that he has been a part of this experience with me.

One of my fondest memories of this year would be when I was at the Poulsbo Chamber of Commerce for a ribbon cutting and, before we took the picture, Mayor Becky Erickson held my hand and told me that she was proud of me. It brought me so much joy and I was smiling from ear-to-ear.

I thought to myself, “Did the mayor of Poulsbo really just say SHE was proud of

Michaela Meeker served as 2012 Miss Poulsbo.

Hudson Photography ME?!”

I wouldn’t have had the chance to experience such a fabulous year if it wasn’t for this organization. This organization wouldn’t be the same without the wonderful Board of Directors: Bruce and Lynda Nilsen, Michelle Rider, Jeana and Doug Halversen, Lori McClanahan, and Gisele Griffiths. You are all such

loving people who have been great leaders through-

out this experience. Your time is greatly appreciated.

My appearances this year wouldn’t be the same without Epiphany Nick, Holly Wasson, Jessicajae Townsend, and Michele Wasson. I’ve been introduced to so many new things: Cherry Coke, Frostys, Coldstone, deepfried Twinkies and Oreos, Doritos tacos, tie dying, and many more fun things. I’m very happy I got to experience those things with all of you.

Epiphany Nick, even though we didn’t talk much during the pageant process, we instantly became best friends and we share so many things in common.

I still get excited when I see you! You are always so polite and always have the right words to say, you can always make my day.

Holly Wasson, you can always make me laugh no matter what and you’re always full of funny stories to tell.

Jessicajae Townsend, I don’t think I’ve even seen anyone sell tickets as fast as you can. I enjoyed work-

ing with you this year and I hope for nothing but the best for your future.

Michele Wasson, thank you for everything that you do. For protecting us, going to every appearance with us, and being our pageant mom. I want you to know that your hard work pays off and it doesn’t go unnoticed. You are such a beautiful person inside and out.

It has been my honor and privilege to have worked with you this past year.

A look back at a memorable year

Wrestling: Velarde three-peats

Boys b’ball: Bucs take 3rd at State YAKIMA — Kingston was back in full force March 3 as the team competed for third place at the Hardwood Classic.

The team’s defense, which became a cornerstone of the program this season, made itself known and the Bucs had its best free-throw game in program history.

With that, the Bucs took

Kipp Robertson / 2012 third place in the 2A State Tournament in the Yakima Valley SunDome, defeating the Lindbergh Eagles 57-46.

“The magic just kept going,” Brady Sundquist said following the win. “We just stuck to our game, played D, and stopped [James Keum].”

The Bucs defense was able to hold Eagles star player James Keum to nine points. The Bucs accumulated 25 defensive rebounds and 15 offensive rebounds.

Offensively, Sam Byers topped the chart on points with 23, including going 8/8 on free throws. KT

“

Deam scored 13 and was 7/8 in free throws. Richie Sander landed four threepointers for a total of 12.

And Cody Combs went 2/2 in free throws and hit two three-pointers.

In all, the Bucs landed 18/20 free throws for a 90 percent completion rate.

Earlier in the tournament, the Bucs were 7/16 against the Lynden Lions and 16/23 against the Anacortes Seahawks.

Baseball: Bucs take title from Sumner SILVERDALE — The Buccaneers varsity baseball

team sure turned things around.

For a team that was unsure it would make it to the district tournament, the Bucs stepped up their game, And, for the second time in program history, they became the West Central District III champions May 12, defeating Sumner 7-3.

The team advanced to Regionals, which preceded the 2A state tournament.

The Bucs faced Lynden in the first round, losing 4-3.

Kingston’s Richie Sander threw a no-hitter against Franklin Pierce May 8. Josh McLeod allowed a single hit against White River the

following day.

Baseball: 25 years later, a rematch ENUMCLAW — It’s 7 p.m. on a spring evening in 1987 and the regional playoff between the North Kitsap Vikings and the Burlington-Edison Tigers is delayed.

It’s not delayed because of weather, but because of a three-hour game preceding.

Finally, at 9:30 p.m., the Vikings and Tigers step onto the field for what would be more than four hours of baseball.

As a lifelong resident of Kitsap County — with the exception of four years at college in Bellingham — getting to know the North Kitsap community better is a highlight of my job. From school board meetings to the Friday night basketball game, I bring you coverage of the same school district I grew up in. If you see this Western Washington University grad at the next sporting event, stop and say “hi.”

Missed me during the week? You can find me on the paintball field; I’m the one with the mask.

TACOMA — On Feb. 18, North Kitsap’s Jake Velarde won the 138-pound 2A state wrestling title, defeating Deer Park’s Joe Grable (4-1) at the Mat Classic XXIV in the Tacoma Dome.

It’s Velarde’s third state title. He is the first prep wrestler in the area to win three state titles.

Velarde’s match against Grable was slow to start.

Velarde was looking for a takedown early on, but Grable would not give in.

After Velarde nearly got the fall following a Granby Roll — a reversal typically used to escape from the bottom position — the 0-0 match turned into 3-0. It stayed close, but the North Kitsap wrestler was able to finish.

Overall, the North Kitsap wrestling team was just out of reach of placing in the top 10 of 2A schools in the tournament. North Kitsap earned 44 points for 12th place, six points behind W.F. West.

Three of the four other wrestlers from North Kitsap placed as well.

Brenden Best (285) took sixth place, AJ Milyard (145) took eighth and Jake Sievers (113) took fifth.

Reporter 360-779-4464

The game ends at 2 a.m. when a Viking batter is thrown out at first base.

The Vikings would win the state title in 1988. But 1987 was the last time the Vikings and Tigers faced each other in the regional tournament.

Twenty-five years later,on May 19, the Vikings and Tigers faced each other again in the regional tournament.

The Vikings earned their spot in Regionals after a three-game win streak May 12 and 14.

The wins followed a loss to Sumner May 9 — a win against Sumner would have guaranteed the Vikings a spot at Regionals. Instead, the North Kitsap team took the hard road.

But to come back and win against Foster (3-0), Lindbergh (9-1) and White River (11-4) shows what the Vikings can do on that baseball diamond.

The Vikings lost to the Tigers 4-3. The Tigers then lost to Archbishop Murphy (4-2), the team that went on to win the 2A state championship.

Track: NK girls finish first TACOMA — Alexandra Lanzafame took first place in the triple jump, earning her team 10 points and setting a state record.

She also took first in the long jump.

The two wins were part of a team effort by the North Kitsap girls track and field competitors at State. It was an effort that earned them the 2A state team title May 26.

North Kitsap finished with 69 points. Sehome finished second with 67.

College baseball: Big year for ‘Smitty’ DES MOINES, Iowa — It was the last inning of the Midwest Collegiate Conference championships.

The Grand View Vikings were up after trailing Iowa Wesleyan College by three runs earlier in the game.

Wesleyan was up to bat with two outs.

With the crack of the bat, a ground ball was hit between second and third base. Zac Smit, 2011 graduate of North Kitsap High School, was there to make the stop and throw out the batter to end the game, take the

title and head to the opening of the world championships.

It was one of the more memorable experiences of Smit’s first year on a coll e g i a t e Zac Smit baseball team.

Cross country: Vikings win District TACOMA — The wet, mucky cross country course at American Lake made for some messy races Oct. 27. The lessthan-favorable conditions, however, did not slow the North Kitsap High School girls cross country team.

The girls won the Westside Classic, finishing first. The Westside Classic is the West Central District III championship.

Those competing included Reagan Colyer, Olivia Krol, Clara Lund, Kathleen Ramsey, Kristina Reid, Katrina Weinmann, and Sarah Zimmerman.

Of the seven runners from the North Kitsap boys cross country team, Ian Christen and Cooper Wall advanced to State.

Kingston High School was represented by boys and girls teams at the 2A State Meet Nov. 3. Kingston was one of two schools to have both teams qualify for State during the Westside Classic, Oct. 27. Sumner also sent boys and girls teams.

Kingston’s boys took fifth at the district championships. The girls took third.

Kingston boys competing included: Nicholas Boles, Ross Burk, Thomas Gill, John Griffin, Devon Jacob, Lucas Thompson, and Anthony Woelke.

Kingston girls competing included: Melia Beckwith,

Alexa Benjamin, Sarah DeAscentiis, Hope McleanGurney, Annie Roberts, Ivy Rodolf, and Korina WaringEnriquez.

In order for a team of seven to qualify for State, girls had to finish fifth or better at Districts; boys had to finish sixth or better.

At State, North Kitsap’s Colyer finished fourth in the 2A division in 18 minutes 45.1 seconds.

Kingston’s Roberts finished 16th (19:42.5).

Football: Bucs’ first State berth

POULSBO — At 42 yards out and with 5 seconds left in the playoff game, Kingston’s Colin Stone lined up for a field goal.

The game between the Kingston Buccaneers and Washington Patriots at North Kitsap Stadium was tied, 37-37.

Stone, who’s never kicked a game-winning field goal, focused on his technique.

The snap was made. The kick: Good.

The Bucs won 40-37.

For the first time in program history, the Kingston varsity football team went to State.

The Bucs played the Sumner Spartans Nov. 9 at Sunset Stadium. The Bucs lost 26-9.

Girls soccer: Bucs’ first State berth KINGSTON — The Bucs lost in the first round of the 2A State Championships to the Sumner Spartans Nov. 7.

It was the first time a Kingston soccer team had advanced to State.

The State game followed a win over Franklin Pierce at the West Central District III tournament.

Though the Bucs “evened out with them” after the first two goals, Kingston coach Craig Smith said it was like playing against a college team. For one, the majority of Sumner players were 3-4 inches taller than the Bucs, he said. The field was also larger than the Bucs are used to, Smith said.

The Spartans finished the championships in first, defeating Sehome 1-0.

Girls soccer: Vikes earn home game SILVERDALE — After earning a share of the Olympic League title, the North Kitsap Vikings earned the No. 1 seed into the West Central District III tournament Oct. 31 by defeating the Klahowya Eagles. The Vikings won in a shootout at Silverdale Stadium.

The team went on to win 4-1 over White River to earn a first-round State home game.

The Vikings were eliminated from the state tournament during the home game Nov. 7, losing 3-0 to Sehome.

North Kitsap’s Reagan Colyer, center, finished fourth at the 2A State Meet. The North Kitsap girls cross country team took first at Districts Oct 27.

Be aware of the effects alcohol can have on your body.

Drink in moderation this holiday season and don’t drive impaired.

One drink here, another there, no big deal, right? Wrong!

All it takes is just a couple of drinks to affect the body. Within one to two drinks, blood pressure drops, heart rate increases and blood vessels expand, reddening the skin. As the alcohol makes its way into the brain, the body relaxes and cognition and alertness decrease. The more alcohol consumed, the worse the effect on the body and the more compromised the ability to drive becomes.

by Fishline, ShareNet and St. Vincent de Paul to help local families keep roofs

over their heads, utilities on and food on tables. The fund helped more than 300 local people in crisis in 2012, and provided Christmas dinners for 102 households

Continued from page A1 The investigation was conducted after several items were discovered missing from evidence, including two handguns that were supposed to be destroyed but were found in the possession of a former police evidence clerk. A gold necklace was also reported missing from evidence. And $2,000 from a fund used for drug investigations was unaccounted for and written off as a loss. The department has since adopted a new software system and new procedures for tracking evidence.

No. 3: $7 million set aside for acquisition of shoreline On April 24, Gov. Chris Gregoire signed a supplemental capital budget that includes $7 million for acquisition of Port Gamble

The state granted $7 million for the purchase of two miles of shoreline on Port Gamble Bay, but Pope Resources must first complete a cleanup plan for the old mill site. Herald file photo shoreline targeted for conservation. The two miles of shoreline is among the blocks of land, totaling 7,000 acres, that Pope Resources wants to sell in North Kitsap.

The shoreline is the priority for the coalition of conservation groups, including the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe; all see the shoreline conservation as critical to continued recovery of the health of the bay.

The money’s use for acquisition, however, hinges upon Pope Resources’ completion of a cleanup plan at the old mill site.

No. 4: Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe buys Heronswood On June 15, Port Gamble S’Klallam had the winning bid for

Heronswood, a 15-acre estate developed by renowned horticulturalist Dan Hinkley. The gardens once displayed 3,000 plant species from around the world. The Tribe immediately began exploring uses for Heronswood, and announced in December it would be used as a wedding venue beginning in spring 2013. Other potential uses: Native plant gardens, horticultural education, and retreats.

Heronswood hosted five same-gender weddings on the first day same-sex marriages were legal in Washington state.

No. 5: North Kitsap hosts Babe Ruth World Series The best 13-year-old baseball players in the U.S. were welcomed to the area for the Babe Ruth World Series; 10 teams competed in the series Aug. 15-22.

According to organizers, the series was expected to

Fred Hill Materials, a 66-year-old, three-generation business, closed, citing a lack of construction because of the economic downturn.

Herald file pump about $1 million into the local economy. North Kitsap Babe Ruth Baseball raised $50,000 for visiting teams’ expenses, recruited local host families, and provided other support.

Players were welcomed with a downtown parade and dinner at Kiana Lodge.

Bryant, Ark. won the series, played at the Kitsap Fairgrounds.

No. 6: SoundRunner service ends

between Kingston and Seattle ended Sept. 28. The Kingston Port Commission voted to stop subsidizing SoundRunner after the passenger ferry showed no signs of significantly narrowing its budget deficit. At the end, the service averaged 34 daytime and 47 evening passengers, and had recovered only a quarter of its $1.02 million cost in fares. The port district began transferring SoundRunner’s two boats, purchased with federal grants, to other agencies.

Four years ago, owners Beth & Dennis Kommer weren’t happy with how much metal was ending up in landfills, so with a dream and a plan, they started a small home-based metal recycling business out of their shop. As demand grew, so did their business and just recently they began leasing property adjacent to the Hansville Garbage Center. From the little tin of Altoids that was dropped off to the big truck loads that come in, they take it all, big & small!

No. 7: Fred Hill Materials closes On April 20, the regional concrete materials supplier closed after filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The company was 66 years old, had been operated by the Hill family for three generations, and at one time had 130 employees. The company blamed its downfall on the decline in new construction. Doug Weese, company spokesman, said, “In the grand scheme of things, Fred Hill provided a whole lot of livelihoods for 66 years.”

No. 8: Prosecuting attorney rules Suquamish shooting justified On Feb. 3, Prosecuting Attorney Russell Hauge determined that the fatal police shooting of a Suquamish man in December was justified.

Thomas Anthony Black, a non-Native man living on the Suquamish reservation, was shot and killed Dec. 8 when officers tried to serve an arrest warrant on another man at Black’s home. Black, who was sitting on a living room couch, refused to comply with officers’ orders that he raise his hands; he reached under a pillow and pulled out what turned out to be a toy gun. He was shot and killed by a Port Gamble S’Klallam Police officer. Among the evidence reviewed by Hauge: Footage from body cameras worn by Suquamish police officers.

Blood tests showed Black had methamphetamine in his system, according to Hauge’s report.

No. 9: Bockus resigns from Poulsbo Port Commission Arnie Bockus resigned from office effective March 31, ending three months of questions about the legitimacy of his appointment to a commission vacancy.

Bockus, defeated for reelection in November,

ended to appoint himself to another commission vacancy. Commissioner-elect Jim Rutledge said the Board of County Commissioners should make the appointment in accordance with state law. And, in an informal opinion, state Assistant Attorney General Christopher Lanese said a sitting commissioner is ineligible for appointment if the appointment is made during the commissioner’s term.

After three months in the disputed position, Bockus resigned, as did Port Attorney Greg Norbut, who had found there was no wrongdoing in Bockus’ appointment.

No. 10: Harrison plan of correction accepted

by CMS The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services “accepted” Harrison Medical Center’s plan to correct deficiencies that led to a violation of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. The plan was filed after CMS determined the medical center failed to identify a couple’s injuries from a vehicle collision and provide adequate care. It was the medical center’s second violation of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act since 2000, according to CMS. Doctors failed to diagnose Joseph Snowden’s broken right foot and Debra Snowden’s four broken ribs and a fractured sternum. The Snowdens complained to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and on the department’s behalf, the state Health Department investigated Feb. 8 and found the hospital “failed to enforce policies to ensure compliance” with the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act and “failed to provide an appropriate medical screening exam.”

Harrison CEO Scott W. Bosch responded, “We are responding to this aggressively. We have a very strong commitment to patient safety and obeying the laws of the land.

We do not turn anybody away based on their ability to pay. From May 1 [2011] through February [2012], we have provided $17 million worth of free care to those who don’t have the ability to pay. That demonstrates a massive commitment to all patients.”

Brandon Keith Rowan

Joseph Francis Stenstrom August 16, 1920 to December 20, 2012 Pearl Harbor survivor Joseph Francis Stenstrom, CWO-4 USN (Ret), 92, passed away peacefully in his sleep at his daughter’s home on December 20, 2012.

The eldest son of Swedish immigrants, he was born August 16, 1920 in Spokane, WA to Joseph Francis and Ruth (Fry) Stenstrom. Following graduation from Roosevelt High School in Seattle, he enlisted in the US Navy in January 1939 rising through the ranks from Apprentice Seaman to Chief Warrant Officer 4. His 30-year naval career took him to the following duty stations: NTC San Diego , USS Northampton (CA 26), USS Oglala (CM 4), USS Montgomery (DM 17) Pearl Harbor, RECSTA Guadalcanal, V-12 Unit UISB Pocatello, SRTU PSNS Bremerton, Steno School, NTC San Diego, BREMGRU 19th Fleet PSNS Bremerton, OPNAV Washington D.C., JAMAG London England, U.S. Cinceur Frankfurt Germany, BUPERS Washington D.C., NAVSTA Argentia Newfoundland, Staff COMSERVLANT Norfolk, USS Northampton (CC1), PSNS Bremerton, USS Samuel Gompers (AD 37), NISMF PSNS Bremerton.

While stationed in London, Joe met and married Dana M.C. Morley and they raised three children while he served his country. Upon his retirement in April 1969, they moved to England and were fortunate to travel throughout the UK and Europe. After 30 years of marriage, Joe and Dana divorced and he returned to Kitsap County in 1982 to be near his children, all of whom had returned to the States.

Joe and his sister, Florence, shared a home in Gala Pines, Poulsbo and hosted many family gatherings with their respective children and grandchildren. Up to the age of 89, Joe could be seen walking the neighborhood streets and was affectionately known as the Ironman of Gala Pines.

Joe enjoyed the outdoors: camping, gardening, road trips and the beautiful NW where boating and salmon fishing were favorite pastimes. He enjoyed tinkering and could fix almost anything and on warm, sunny days could be seen enjoying iced tea at his picnic table while watching the grass grow! Joe and Flo were also avid Husky and Seahawk season ticket fans in years past. Joe was a loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend who led a rewarding, fruitful and long life and will continue to live on the hearts of those who knew him. He was the patriarch of our family and will be remembered for his high moral values, his honesty, character and great sense of humor.

He is survived by his sister, Florence Kempton, Poulsbo; his daughter Linda (Bill) Eley, Poulsbo; sons David (Valerie) Stenstrom, Poulsbo; and Carl Stenstrom, Jacksonville, FLA.; grandchildren Mark (Jessica) Eley, Lacey; Sarah (Ryan) Cox, Port Ludlow; Monica Stenstrom, Vista, CA; Jasper Stenstrom, Poulsbo; Joseph Stenstrom, Poulsbo; and several nieces and nephews. Joe was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, William Stenstrom and Robert Stenstrom.

He will be buried with full military honors at Cherry Grove Cemetery and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. Family and friends are invited to share memories and sign the online guest book at www.lewischapel.com Memorial donations may be made to North Kitsap Fishline, The Kitsap County Humane Society, The Alzheimers Association or a charity of your choice. Fair winds and following seas, Dad. We love you.

Breidablik interim principal Gary Stebbins is taped to the wall of the Breidablik Elementary School Gymnasium Dec. 20.

Bears raise $12,500 for PTSA Principal is duct taped to wall, teacher gets pie in face BREIDABLIK — The afternoon of Dec. 20 was a moment Caden Clark was looking forward to for weeks.

Standing in the undercover area of the Breidablik Elementary School playground, Caden stood proudly facing his teacher with a pie in his hand.

Brittane Hendricks, a third/fourth/fifth split

teacher at Breidablik, stood a few feet away from Caden.

Donned with garbage bags and safety goggles, Hendricks prepared for the inevitable.

What was about to occur on the playground of the elementary school was the result of a PTSA cookie dough fundraiser and joga-thon that raised $12,500.

The cookie dough brought in $8,000, with $4,500 coming from the jog-a-thon.

Caden raised $375, selling the most and earning the right to throw a pie in his teacher’s face.

So there Caden was, surrounded by his peers. And the countdown began.

5…4…3…2…1…

Amid laughter and cheers, Caden sent the pie into Hendricks’ face.

It wasn’t over for Hendricks as the rest of her class quickly followedup with water balloons.

Hendricks wasn’t the only one that helped the class celebrate the fundraiser. Interim principal Gary Stebbins was taped to the gymnasium wall by the students, suspended briefly by duct tape.

The bride, 26, is the daughter of Brian and Marice Bendall of Christchurch.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in art history and, in 2010, a graduate degree in education, both from the University of Canterbury in Christchurch.

Joseph and Holly met while Joseph was on foreign exchange at the University of Canterbury in 2008. They were married in the company of friends and family from around the world. The couple was attended by Holly’s sister, Georgia, as Maid of Honor; and Joseph’s brother, Tyler, as Best Man. The bride and groom honeymooned in Maui, and make their home in Seattle.

Enhance your dishes with red wines L

Frank Magaña owns a catering business in the Yakima Valley, and John Sarich has worked for Chateau Ste. Michelle for more than 30 years as ambassador and culinary director.

Magaña said that although he often uses white wines to make salad dressings, he typically doesn’t use red wines.

Rather, he turns to reds for marinades, sauces and gravies.

For a marinade, Magaña will first consider the cut of meat. For a flank steak, for example, he might use a higher-acid wine such as Lemberger, Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. He’ll add two tablespoons of fresh herbs such as rosemary. Then he’ll coarsely chop three or four cloves of garlic. Magaña might also add a splash of olive

ast week, we introduced you to integrating wine into your cooking with a focus on using white wine to make sauces and salad dressing. This week, we will look at how to use red wine in the kitchen.

First, we want to reiterate some keys to successfully cooking with wine.

First, don’t cook with wine you would not drink. Like any ingredient, the better the wine is, the better your food will taste. Never consider using “bad wine” to cook with. That would be like using rotten apples to make a pie.

Second, serving the same wine you use as an ingredient is a great way to provide harmony at the table.

For this lesson, we turn to two of Washington’s most wine-centric chef.

oil, though he points out that since he will be cooking the steak on high heat, he will add just a little oil to avoid flare-ups.

Sarich also suggested adding Italian parsley, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar or sea salt to a marinade.

The length to marinade depends on the cut of meat, both chefs said.

“I will marinade for a half-hour or so,” Sarich said. “Because of the high quality of cuts these days, you don’t need to use marinades to tenderize anymore.”

Sarich said the choice of wine depends on the meat you’ll be using. For

is poured over the steak and served with the same wine.

Magaña also will make soups and gravies with red wines. He will roast bones in the oven, then cook them on the stovetop with red wine. He’ll reduce the mixture as a base for gravy or beef soup.

Magaña emphasized that he will not cook with a wine he won’t drink.

“If it’s past its prime, it’s past its prime,” he said.

Typically, he will use a young wine, though a mature wine can add a bit more elegance and complexity to a reduction sauce.

Adding wine as an ingredient to your cooking can be a fun and simple way to add elegance to your next meal.

County and union negotiations still on the table: Contract negotiations between Kitsap County and labor unions representing more than 740 county employees are continuing, according to Fernando Conill, labor relations manager for Kitsap County.

The county has been in negotiations with the 19 unions that operate under 13 different contracts since earlier this year. In total, the unions represent about 65 percent of the 1,134 county employees.

Most of the unions or guilds have been operating under previous contracts, some which date back to 2010. The county’s goal is to get the contracts of the various employee groups up to date and extend the agreedto contracts through 2014.

According to Conill, the county is negotiating with each group individually, except where several unions are grouped together and work under a master contract. He said some of the contract negotiations began in September, others are in progress and some groups are just getting underway, depending on the union.

Although some employees have worked without an updated contract for

months, Conill said there has not been any interruption in county services because of the labor negotiations and he did not anticipate any in the future.

Snow didn’t slow packing of 100 Christmas dinners for local families: Neither rain nor snow could slow the volunteers in their task.

Within an hour on Dec. 19, members of the Poulsbo Host Lions Club had filled boxes with enough food for 100 families’ Christmas dinners.

“This is great. I love it,” said

John Macdonald, a Poulsbo Lions Club member who drove over snowy roads from his Seabeck home to help.

“It’s one of the things I enjoy most about the holiday season.”

Lions Club members shopped at Albertsons, Central Market and Red Apple for families whose names were provided by Fishline and ShareNet. The dinners were funded by the Poulsbo Lions/ Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund.

This was a team effort. At each market, Lions shopped from a list of items for families of various sizes. Each family received a turkey, bread, brown-and-serve rolls, canned cranberries, canned milk, canned pumpkin, canned vegetables, canned yams, celery, eggs, margarine, onions, potatoes, oranges, stuffing, sugar, vegetable oil, a foil pie tin, and Christmas candy.

The stores got into the action as well. At the checkout stand, store employees rang up items from a line of shopping carts and put the items in boxes labeled with the family’s name. The boxes were then stored for pickup — 33 or 34 boxes per store.

With discounts given by the stores, each box cost approximately $55, according to Macdonald, a Poulsbo CPA. — NorthKitsapHerald.com

Accident reignites pedestrian safety discussion: Central Kitsap School District has not distributed walk route plans or maps to students, but updates appear to be coming following a Dec. 12 accident when a 17-yearold student was struck by a vehicle.

According to Paul Nash, principal of Cottonwood Elementary School, the school hasn’t updated its policy the last few years. Nash said the walk routes need to be updated and that the school hopes to have an updated plan available by January.

Washington state regulations require every school district to have suggested walk routes in place for every elementary school, covering a one-mile distance from the school.

Because Woodlands and Cottonwood are near Central Valley Road, the majority of suggested walking routes have students traveling along or crossing Central Valley Road.

The crosswalks at the elementary schools are controlled by crossing guards in the morning. The junior high doesn’t have the same protections.

Bremerton man charged with threat against father: East Bremerton resident James Justin Mort, 31, of the 1000 block of McWilliams Road, has been charged in Kitsap County Superior Court with second-degree assault, with a domestic violence enhancement, and possession of a stolen firearm.

According to court documents, Mort got into a physical altercation with his father Dec. 12 and allegedly aimed a silver and black semiautomatic handgun with a laser sight at his dad’s head and yelled, “I could blow you away right now!”

Mort also allegedly grabbed a soft rifle case and a backpack with a stolen semi-automatic rifle and a stolen semi-automatic handgun.

The rifle, a Smith & Wesson MP15 .223 caliber semi-automatic was reported stolen May 7 from an address in the 3000 block of Rocky Point Road NW. The handgun was a FNP 9 mm semi-automatic

The county has offered its non-union employees a 2 percent cost-of-living raise beginning in January and similar offers are being made to union employees during the various contract negotiations.

Conill said the COLA offer includes proposed concessions by union employees.

He said giving up longevity premiums are among the concessions being discussed.

As with the non-union employees, the county has agreed to no new costs on the part of union employees for health care insurance in 2013.

The county is switching to a self-insurance program in 2013 for all employees and as a part of that, the county Board of Commissioners agreed to stipulate that employee costs of the new program would remain the same as what employees are currently paying.

Man allegedly attacks girlfriend with razor on Christmas Eve: Isaac Jack Jr., 54, is being held on seconddegree assault charges after he allegedly attacked his girlfriend with a razor knife at a residence on High School Road.

Island police responded to a domestic violence call at 12:18 a.m. Dec. 24. Jack’s girlfriend told officers that he had been drinking all day before the two got into an argument. She went to her bedroom to get away from the argument, but Jack followed and proceeded to yell at her.

The girlfriend said Jack then pulled out a razor knife and attacked her.

Jack was arrested on second-degree assault charges and booked into the Kitsap County Jail on $50,000 bail.

I wanted to take this time to reflect on the many gifts that I receive throughout the year.

The gift that shines the most for me is the opportunity to connect with you in person or online.

I am thankful and grateful for the people that come into my life, regardless if it is for a brief moment, a day, a few weeks or years. I love nothing more than celebrating and talking about the essence of what connects us — gluten-free food.

I love creating healthy gluten-free food that nourishes us and brings us all to the table. It brings me such joy when I create something that brings a smile on your face.

I love making gluten-

a very sweet gift from The Essential Baking Company. (Thank you!) It was a trio of their new certified gluten-free breads that they started baking in a dedicated gluten-free facility in Seattle: Seeded Cinnamon Raisin, Sunny Seeded White, Super Seeded Multi-Grain.

The breads are GF, DF, SF, NF and Kosher. I really like the new colorful packaging. The breads are sold in a two-layer bag. The inner oxygenfree packaging allows the gluten-free bread to stay fresh for weeks — if your family doesn’t eat it all first.

This recipe is so easy.

Heat the pan to medium high.

Coat the pan with 1 tablespoon of butter.

In a wide dish, pour approximately 1/4 cup of Eggnog — the real stuff made with eggs and dairy.

Place the slices of GF Cinnamon bread in the bowl and allow the bread to soak it up on both sides.

Carefully place the Eggnoggy bread in the pan.

Reduce the heat to low.

Cook each side for approximately 2-3 minutes.

Serve warm with butter and maple syrup!

Sometimes you just need to use your noggin’ to get things done in the

free food that exceeds my expectations.

I get so excited when I see your feedback and comments about what you are doing in your kitchens.

It bonds us regardless of the miles that separate us.

I honor what we all bring to the table — our traditions, flavors, recipes and warmth to everyday meals or special occasions.

One of my favorite traditions at the dinner table is lighting candles.

Whenever I light a candle, I always think of someone special. My candles are lit for us today to honor our connection and our commitment to making life more robust.

My candles are also lit today to give thanks.

I am thankful for the motivation that you give me to seek the knowledge about Celiac Disease and better ways to create food that is healthier for us.

I embrace learning about new foods and lifestyles from around the world.

My hope is to continue my journey to share all that I learn in many new and exciting ways.

May this holiday seasons bring you the sweet and savory bites that you crave.

My greatest wish for you is that you have the joy in your heart that you desire.

Salud!

Liberty Bay is a gem for birdwatching B

irdwatching is one of America’s fastest-growing hobbies. For many of us, it means enjoying the fascinating display of wildlife at our backyard feeders. For others, it includes occasional trips to a favorite hotspot to view the courtship and feeding displays of resident birds and seasonal visitors.

As with any hobby, interest and sophistication ranges from backyard super-casual to dedicated member of the Washington Ornithological Society.

A large community of birders shares up-to-theminute sightings and birdrelated lore on Tweeters, a free bird chat website that serves Washington and bordering states (http:// mailman1.u.washington. edu/mailman/listinfo/ tweeters/).

But winter really separates the semi-casual from the truly serious. After the birds of summer have flown to warmer climates, the shores of Washington

become the wintering grounds for millions of waterfowl from the far north. Winter offers a visual feast for adventurous birders whose enthusiasm is undampened by winter rains.

To birds that breed in the Arctic, Washington’s mild winters and ice-free waters make it seem almost tropical. From mid-November to early May, Washington coastlines are alive with dozens of species of wintering waterfowl.

The birds are so abundant and widely distributed that birdwatchers seldom have to travel far to find great views. What makes some locations better than others hinges more often on accessibility, parking and such amenities as public restrooms.

By any measure, public

Poulsbo’s Liberty Bay offers great birdwatching opportunities. This eagle perched on a rock during low tide — a great time to feed — on June 5, 2012.

Megan Stephenson / Kitsap Week marinas and waterfront parks can provide some of the best winter birdwatching available. However, you may want to time your visits early in the morning, because these parks are also popular with dog walkers and stroll-

ers whose activity often pushes birds further away from shore.

Liberty Bay in Poulsbo (Site 30 on the Puget Loop of the Great Washington Birding Trail) offers a variety of viewing opportunities from four city

parks, a public marina and a boardwalk that links Poulsbo Waterfront Park and wooded American Legion Park.

Numerous rafts of wintering wigeons, scoters, goldeneyes and Western Grebes roam the water-

front, and Horned Grebes dive for food among the slips of the city marina.

Fish Park and Nelson Park border Dogfish Creek, a salmon stream that forms an estuary and tidal flats at the head of Liberty Bay. Fish Park features a 0.3-mile interpretive trail and several wildlife viewing platforms that overlook Fish Creek, including a platform funded by the Kitsap Audubon Society.

Oyster Plant Park is one of Poulsbo’s many cityowned pocket parks. This attractively landscaped gem is situated between two private marinas, about a mile south of the Port of Poulsbo Marina. It has parking for a few cars and a large over-the-water deck that looks out on one of the “birdiest” stretches of Liberty Bay. In the spring, Kitsap Audubon volunteers hang nesting gourds along a connected floating platform to support a thriving colony of Purple Martins.

Kitsap Audubon volunteers maintain a number of Purple Martin colonies in Kitsap County.
