Crosswalk flags signal need for a solution Kitsap County sheriff and school superintendent take action after accident

“If we wait until some kid gets hurt then I think we failed,” Boyer said. Boyer and Lynch said they felt the reflective crossing flags were an inexpensive way to bring awareness to both pedestrians and drivers. The bright orange flags work as a signal to drivers of a pedestrian’s intent to cross.

Autism center brings hope to families By WES MORROW Staff Writer

“We have a little boy. He’s 3. He’s been here for about six months. His mom called the other day in the evening and she’s like, ‘He said his name. I said, ‘What is your name?’ And he said, ‘My name’s Caleb.’ ” Alicia Hartnett, Olympic Peninsula Autism Center’s program director, told this story in early December. “She was so happy because he’d never said his name before,” Hartnett said. Olympic Peninsula Autism Center is a nonprofit operation providing therapy for the west side of Puget Sound out of its facility in Silverdale. The autism center passed its one year anniversary in November. It was founded last year by John and Sara Hall. The Halls have two young daughters, both diagnosed with autism. Before

Emma, one of the kids at the Autism Center, surprises a therapist on Wednesday. opening the center, they were taking their daughters to Kirkland multiple times a week for treatment.

Despite a clear need for autism services in the area, Kitsap County lacked many resources, until the Halls started Olympic Peninsula Autism Center. The center officially merged with Easter Seals Disability Services in September, providing the stability and financial resources of the much larger nonprofit. Olympic Peninsula uses Applied Behavior Analysis, a system where therapists tailor programs individually for each child in an attempt to help improve behavioral issues. The therapists determine goals for each child. They then meet one-on-one with the child and work to improve those specific outcomes. For some kids the goals may be as basic as speaking. A common problem for children with autism is trouble speaking or initiating conversation, even with their own parents.

Many of these kids are nonverbal. They won’t speak at all. Hartnett told the story of one of these kids. He went to therapy multiple times a week at the center. Eventually, through therapy, his therapists were able to get him to open up during sessions, but as soon as he left, the silence would return. His mom could hear him in the room talking. His mom “was so frustrated. (She said) ‘I know he can do it,’ ” Hartnett said. Then one day, the work paid off. He started talking not only in sessions, but to his mother as well. “Now he is just a chatterbox,” Hartnett said. For some of the kids, the goals aren’t so overwhelming as saying their own names or talking. Some of the kids just need to focus on social interaction, such as initiating conversation or knowing what is and isn’t okay to ask people. Caleb Yost, 12, was officially diagnosed with autism when he was 6 years old. He See AUTISM, A9

CenCom county funding formula agreement closer Kitsap County 911 system offers services to 13 police and fire agencies By Leslie Kelly kellygreenacres@comcast.net

A new funding formula for Kitsap County Central Communications (CenCom) is one step closer to becoming a reality after years of discussion. The CenCom’s governing board approved a new funding plan last week and the plan is now on its way to the agencies that partici-

pate in CenCom for consideration. Known as Kitsap County’s 911 system, CenCom offers 911 services to 13 law enforcement agencies and fire departments in the county including Kitsap County Sheriff ’s office, Port Orchard, Bremerton, Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island police and fire departments. In past years, the agencies have paid for 911 services using a formula that took into account the assessed property value and area population of each individual participating agency. But in 2010, the CenCom governing board changed the formula and based it on the number of calls each agency had. Agencies have also paid a $50,000 mini-

Community notes Rich Passage 1 At the request of Washington State Ferries, Kitsap Transit will again be operating the Rich Passage 1 to fulfill a need on the Bremerton-Seattle run Jan. 2-4. The 118-passenger fast ferry will make two morning and evening runs Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The boat will leave Bremerton’s passenger only ferry terminal at 5:35 a.m. and 7:12 a.m. and Seattle’s Pier 50 at 6:20 a.m. and 7:55 a.m. Evening sailings will leave Seattle at 5:07 p.m. and 6:43 p.m. and leave Bremerton at 4:20 p.m. and 5:55 p.m. Crossing time is about 35 minutes. WSF will be reimbursing KT for the costs of operating the RP1. KT will be making adjustments to its park-&-ride bus schedules to accommodate the temporary changes to the Bremerton-Seattle ferry schedule. Please check the KT website at www.kitsaptransit. com for updates. KT is committed to completing the research on beach impacts associated with the high-speed passenger only ferry service in Rich Passage before any long-range passenger ferry service plans are considered. Kitsap Transit has consulted with the wake research team, who advise that short-term operation of the RP1 for a few days during this time period will not interfere with or bias the research data collection or analysis. In fact, the original plan called for a six-month operating period that had to be trimmed to four months due to environmental permitting requirements for the scientific measurement devices. Further, the research team advises KT that the beach response during test operations was minimal enough that a few days of operation during winter are not likely to produce any discernible beach response. The wake research team will continue monitoring in 2013 to document beach response.

Prepare for disaster The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, in partnership with 35 school districts across the state, received a Pre-Disaster Mitigation Planning Grant in March 2012 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The twoyear, $1.1 million grant will help the state identify risks and develop a statewide mitigation plan from natural disasters.

Happy New Year, again There are very few TV shows I watch beyond movies older than I am. I hate all reality shows. Reality is bad enough without broadcasting it on multiple channels. In the morning before work I do like to listen to First Take, the debate sports show between Skippy Bayless and Stephen A. Smith moderated by Cari Champion. The presidential debates would have been much more entertaining and enlightening if it had been more like Skippy and Stephen A. I have taken some undue criticism among the newsroom staff because I Editor like these guys on First Take. Ha! Criticism from sports authorities who couldn’t pick a winner with help from the God. I am sure if God did try to help them it would go something like this. “He’s God. What does he know about sports?” Believe me. God is sort of like an editor. He knows more than everyDennis Box one but my know-it-all daughter, which seem unfair to me. We had a similar disagreement in the newsroom about the single most important issue facing our society today. Could Superman beat Dr. Strange? I was once again ridiculed by a fine writer in the newsroom who continues to believe the Detroit Lions can win… there is an alternate universe for you. Forget the Seahawks game. That was an incomprehensible blip in the universe of time and space. Read Ecclesiastes. Back to the superhero battle, I proved through superior logic that the magic amulet would put Dr. Strange over the top decisively. And let’s not forget the most important point in my winning argument. Dr. Strange has the coolest cape. We have gone over this many times, but it escapes my younger cohorts. Yeah … go Detroit. With the New Year approaching, I have decided it is important to establish I am the one who gets to be right about sports, Skippy and Stephen and Dr. Strange.

Something caught my attention. Anchor Don Lemon was interviewing NFL linebacker Chris Draft about his wife who died of lung cancer one month after their wedding. Keasha Draft was not a smoker. So how did she get lung cancer? She grew up in a home that had too much radon gas. According the EPA, radon—an odorless, tasteless gas—is responsible for 21,000 deaths each year. That’s more than from drunk driving, drownings and home fires. I put down Words with Friends as my stomach turned in knots. Could we have too much radon?

Winterize your garden tools A

s we slip into winter and wind down the garden season, it is time to clean, winterize and store your tools. For this task have the right cleaning supplies. You are going to need a wire brush, goggles, dust mask, gloves, file and a good area to work safely. It would be a good idea to disinfect your tools with a diluted solution of bleach and water. Mix a cap to a gallon to a gallon and a half of water. Please use common sense and remember that more is never better. Working in an open aired environment is the way to go. Remember safety first. Always wear the appropriate attire while working with any chemicals. To clean for example your shovel you would use your wire brush to knock off any dirt. Clean it then use your file to sharpen the edge. Clean with your disinfecting solution and let dry. Some people wipe mineral oil on to keep it from rusting. For things like your pruners I like to disinfect them and sharpen with my sharpening tool that you can buy where pruners are sold. If you look at the blade

you will notice one side is slanted and you should only sharpen that side and never both sides unless it’s the anvil pruners. I always use bypass pruners. For your power equipment it’s a little more involved. It’s a bit wet to mow and when we have a good amount of dry and the ground hardens up give your lawn one more mow if needed. When winterizing your mower all the gas should be out of the tank. Disconnect your spark plug, safely take the blade off and sharpen it. Drain the oil, changing it as well as new air filters and spark plugs. In most cases I like to bring my equipment to a reliable mechanic. I take my equipment to the Small Engine Clinic, Inc. located in Silverdale. Their address is 7775 Eldorado Blvd. Phone number is 360692-5179. They sharpen blades, and fix most power equipment. It’s a lot easier to have them do it than worrying about doing it yourself. It will give you more time to read a great garden book and get ready for the next growing season.

Happy Gardening, Gardener Joe is important to remember any state with funny team names like Ducks and Beavers cannot be better than Huskies and Cougars. We win by virtue of the fact we have the cooler names. This clears the decks for 2013. Mistakes in the universe do happen, but it’s all just vanities. Read Ecclesiastes. And Happy New Year.

do something more productive: I searched online for someone to test our home. Reese Perkins arrived with a black box that looked like a camera. He put it in our basement and said he’d be back to retrieve it in three days. I eyed the box each time I went to get our laundry. What news would that box deliver, I wondered, and I could feel my blood pressure go up. When Reese returned and evaluated the box, he had good news. Our home’s average radon measurement is 0.4 picocuries per litter of air (pCi/L). The EPA suggests radon mitigation for any home that measures 4.0 pCi/L or above. My blood pressure

dropped again. Then, for reasons I will never understand, I asked Reese, “Do you test water for lead, too?” Dustin rolled his eyes. “Oh, geez, let it go,” he said. “Are you looking for something to worry about?” Reese left with a sample of water. According to the EPA, lead is unlikely to be in source water because the 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act regulates our supplies. But older homes with lead pipes (now banned) might have a problem if the lead leaches to the water. And ingesting lead is a big problem. Especially for children. Warning: if you Google “lead effects on children,” you will call to get your water tested ASAP. But get this: lead exposure can cause high blood pressure in

adults. The EPA suggests that any water testing higher than 15 parts per billion (ppb) for lead is not suitable to drink. Three days later, Reese gave us our results: 16.7 ppb. I glared at Dustin. He looked like he wished I hadn’t let Reese leave with a sample of water, because he knew what was coming next: I was going to get everyone’s blood checked. More waiting. More numbers. More worry. Step away from the blood pressure machine, Sarah. People like me (the polite term is people with “health anxiety”) get frustrated with the medical field, which never deals in abso-

lutes, only percentages and chopped up numbers like “0.4” and “16.7,” or blood pressure readings that are not static over time. You can’t pin these people down for a guarantee on anything. But as Reese said, you don’t know how to fight until you know what you’re up against. We have lead in our pipes, but very little radon. I have high blood pressure that requires medicine. All right, I’m dealing with these. Lead is nothing that a week ’s earningsworth of bottled water won’t fix. So I’m a 133/76 (on a good day), 0.4 pCi/L, 16.7 ppb kind of gal.

At this point, the reflective tape is only an idea, and nothing will likely come about until school returns to session after winter break. Deputy Ron Zude, who has worked in law enforcement for more than 20 years and with Kitsap County’s traffic division for five years, said one of the biggest problems for students is how often drivers speed in school zones. In the morning and afternoon, when school zone speeds are active, the speed

limit drops to 20 mph. “Pedestrians who are hit by a car traveling 40 mph have a 15 percent chance of survival, but 85 percent survive when hit by a car moving at 20 mph,” stated a report on pedestrian safety from the American Academy of Pediatrics. The stopping distance for a vehicle traveling 30 mph as opposed to 20 is significantly longer, 197 and 112 feet, respectively. The American Academy of Pediatrics study stated, “In residential neighborhoods, an average vehicle speed of 30 mph, compared with 20 mph, was associated with more than a sevenfold

greater risk of children being hospitalized for pedestrian injuries.” Zude said after the flag installation Thursday he had stopped three drivers speeding in school zones that morning. All three were going at least 30 mph. “Even with me on the side of the road, it’s hard to get drivers to recognize they’re in a school zone,” Zude said. Zude and two other deputies spend each morning patrolling Kitsap County school zones. Off the top of his head, Zude guessed

Kitsap County has at least 17 school zones that he and the other deputies cycle through. Some of those school zones naturally force drivers to slow down, while others, such as Central Valley Road, are long open stretches where drivers often don’t slow down. “People just shoot right through,” Zude said. While a road like Central Valley may have problems with drivers speeding right through, perhaps the biggest, and most distressing

of children hit by cars near schools are hit by cars driven by parents of students. “It is recommended that drop-off and pick-up zones for parents driving their children to school be clearly marked and placed far from child pedestrian and school bus drop-off areas,” stated the American Academy of Pediatrics. In the collision on Dec. 12, when the 17-year-old girl was hit, the driver of the vehicle had just turned out of the junior high student drop off area, a few dozen feet north of the crosswalk.

problem according to Zude is the driving of students’ parents. “About 30 percent or so of school zone violators are parents,” Zude said. The people most concerned with the safety of students are often the drivers doing the most harm. Not only is speeding an issue for parents, they are a large contributor to pedestrian collisions in school zones. According to a study by the U.S. Department of Transportation, 50 percent

Applied Behavior Analysis isn’t cheap, and many insurance providers don’t make it easy for families to get coverage.

In the summer, when Michael wasn’t in school, the Pooles committed to extra sessions, so he was going twice a week instead of once. “If you were to hurt your knee in an injury, would you spread your physical therapy out for a year of one physical therapy appointment a week, or would you want to hurry up and get in there and get your knee better,” Hartnett said. “That’s how you have to kind of

Page A9

look at ABA therapy, as intensive and continuous and goal-driven, so that you have an exit plan.” According to Michael’s mother, Lisa, even over the short period of summer vacation, the extra sessions showed a steeper slant of improvements in Michael’s progress charts. More and more insurance company’s are beginning to offer coverage for applied behavior therapy, and in January, Medicaid in Washington is set to help cover the treatment for lower income families.

Hartnett said Olympic Peninsula Autism Center has had to turn away seven or eight families that inquired about the program due to the cost of the treatment and lack of insurance coverage. They are in the accreditation process with the state as an official provider, which would allow them to accept Medicaid and open their doors to a number of families they were previously unable to treat. Hartnett said they hope to have the process completed when coverage kicks in Jan. 1.

Our state park system is turning 100, and invites you outside to celebrate

ashington State Parks celebrate its centennial beginning Jan. 1 with First Day Hikes at 13 parks. Though the celebration doesn’t include state parks in Kitsap, there’s plenty of reasons to start your year with a local hike. There are three state parks in Kitsap: Kitsap Memorial State Park, Illahee State Park and Manchester State Park. Kitsap Memorial State Park, near Lofall, is a 58-acre camping park with 1,797 feet of saltwater shoreline and facilities for group and individual recreation, weddings and overnight stays.

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.

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. — Andy Perdue and Eric Degerman are the editors of Wine Press Northwest magazine.

He gets along well with the other cats he’s been around despite his never living with any other animals. He’s not been around children younger than 12. He enjoys sitting in our laps getting brushed. Vinny will be at the Poulsbo Petco this week hoping to find a new family for the New Year.

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. — CentralKitsapReporter. com

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. — PortOrchardIndependent.com

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. — BainbridgeReview.com

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.

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.
