Re: Calling the ospreys home: Protected birds build nest on Poulsbo cell tower - North Kitsap Herald

Tripp,

That's a good point. The bird experts I talked to hadn't heard of any studies done on the effects of radiation on nesting birds and eggs but research may be out there. They did say ospreys have good success raising broods in the towers.

Re: Wind and waves force SoundRunner to cancel sailings Monday - Kingston Community News

Marcus,

Thank you for your comment. To clarify, SoundRunner Manager Karen Arnold Victoria Express cannot run at the moment because the current crew needs more practice landings to attain Coast Guard certification. Arnold also said there are difficulties with docking the Express at the Colman Dock slip that must be sorted out. The upshot is, it's unclear how soon the Express will be operable on the route.

Re: Proposal would create 7,000 acres of public parkland in North Kitsap - North Kitsap Herald

Tad Sooter — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 14:55:19 -0000

Hunter, that's a good question. The loss in current tax revenue would actually be minimal because the property is classified as forest land. For example, one 540-acre parcel Pope owns near Port Gamble has an assessed tax value of just $88,650. The county could lose out on future tax revenue by making the property public and preventing development. I hope this helps and thank you for the comment.

Both state parks meetings (July 7 and July 21) were previewed in a Review story on July 3. A news brief about the July 21 meeting also appeared in the Review's July 17 print edition. The park district has noticed both meetings in the Review's calendar, both in print and online. About 35 people attended last night's meeting. Thank you for your comments.

Re: Car prowlers strike Bainbridge's Island Terrace apartments Wednesday - Bainbridge Island Review

Admirals - I can tell you that the Review collects blotter material from the daily report log provided by BIPD. Because of space limitations, not all entries are published in the blotter, but priority is generally given to more serious incidents. Sometimes during ongoing investigations, reports are not made available soon enough to be included in the blotter. If a crime is profiled in a news article (the above story for example) it will usually not be printed in the blotter to save space and avoid redundancy. Thank you for your comment.
