Editor, Belfair Herald..
Hello from Dewatto Bay.
My friend and neighbor, Lor-
raine Kelly, is running for Port of
Dewatto Commissioner, District
1.
I've had the privilege of know-
ing Lorraine for several years,
first as a property owner and
neighbor, then as a member of
the Dewatto Can't March Band
and Drill Team.
She is an extremely intelligent
woman with years of experience
in the business and financial
world.
She loves and respects the De-
watto area and its neighboring
communities, and only wants the
best for all of us. Even though we
are a small port, we are impor-
tant•
Lorraine is on the Port of De-
watto Advisory Committee and is
always asking people of this area
for their input as to what they
want to see accomplished. She in-
vites everyone to attend the
monthly Port of Dewatto meet-
ings as well as the advisory com-
mittee meetings• Like Lorraine
says, "It's your port. What do you
want it to be?"
For those of you who haven't
had the privilege of meeting Lor-
raine Kelly personally, I'm sure
you've enjoyed her weekly col-
umn, "Dewatto Doin's," in the
Belfair Herald•
It's time for a change• Please
vote for Lorraine Kelly. Thank
you•

A vote for Kelly
Editor, Belfair Herald:
Lorraine Kelly is a candidate
for Port of Dewatto commissioner
in District 1.
I have known Lorraine for over
20 years as a personal friend of
the Kelly family and can attest to
her business competence and sin-
(:ere commitment to serving the
public interest,
The Port Commission needs
strong lea(lership with an eye to
comprehensive planning and an
ear to public opinion and input.
The Port of Dewatto has an
outstanding opportunity to better
serve the needs of its citizens.
Lorraine is a person who can help
make that happen.
A vote for Lorraine Kelly is a
vote for a better Port future.

Every morning I check my
computer for e-mail to see if any-
thing interesting has been hap-
pening, and this past week I hit
pay dirt.
Tom and Erin Quann have a
summer place here at Dewatto
Bay. We have watched their three
children grow up, and what great
kids they are. We've watched
Mike and Megan since they were
little ones, and Laura was born
after they bought their place
here. Mike and Megan are both
competitive swimmers, which
brings me to the exciting news.
Megan, 15, has just returned
from Sidney, Australia, where she
competed in the Pan Pacific
swimming competition, Megan
had a spectacular meet. She took
second in the 100-meter breast
stroke with a time of 1:08.56• She
is now ranked third in the world
in the 100-meter breast stroke
and has passed one more hurdle
on her road to qualifying for the
Olympic Games•
SHE ALSO WAS named to
the 400-meter relay team where
her team placed first. To top off
the competition, she was named
"Rookie of the Meet." Keep your
eyes on Megan Quann• She does
stand a chance to take gold in the
Olympics• We keep telling her
that when she wins and they ask
where she's going she should say
Dewatto Bay instead of Disney-
land. We promised her we would
emblazon her name on the
"Dewatto Can't March Band" sign
that's at the head of the bay. I'm
sure that just thrilled her to no
end. Congratulations Megan.
Mike seems to be the one that
deserted this area. His sister Jan
and her husband Gary Mazzonci-
ni run Leonard's Oyster Compa-
ny. His younger brother, Jim,
owns a backhoe business in Shel-
ton, and his older brother and
wife bought a fishing boat last
year where they fish out of Alas-
ka. Are you ever coming home
again Mike?
Many years ago I fished com-
mercially for salmon in southeast-
ern Alaska. It's very hard work
but you are your own boss. I could
tell you some real good stories
about life on the ocean, but I don't
want to bore you. Maybe someday
I'll share a couple of the good ones
with everybody.
WE HAD OUR first fire in the
woodstove this past week on the
rainy day we had. It felt great but
was a little depressing. It makes
you realize that we will soon be
going into fall and then good old
winter.
I want to apologize to Sid and
Jean Crackett who helped with
the signs for the Dewatto Daze
we had last month. They were a
big help in getting the signs
ready. Everybody that worked on
the Dewatto Daze certainly de-
serves a big thank you.
Well, we received our primary
ballots in the mail this past week.
We've completed ours and have
them on their way back to the
county. I hope everybody who re-
ceived one will vote and return
them. It's important that we
spend the time to fill them out
and mail them.
Labor Day is fast approaching
and we are off to the Ellensburg

Do You Know Why?
By LINDA THOMSON
Dear Tommy,
Dearly beloved, I have loved,
honored and cherished you for
one-third of a century, but now
you are retiring from Puget
Sound Naval Shipyard. Oh, no!
Now what?
As somewhat of a control freak
(who, me?), I have a fear of the
unknown future, and this is a big-
gie! What will you do with all
your time? I know you have creat-
ed a "to-do" list, from remodeling,
painting and re-roofing the house
to doing more motorcycle riding.
But I can't help but think you
may interfere with some of my
stuffwhile you're at it!
PSNS has been good to us,
starting with your apprenticeship
as a pipefitter when you were just
20, and my steady boyfriend! By
the time you graduated from that
program, we were married and
had one child, and I was no longer
working, at least for pay!
In 1968, you got to make a
pretty memorable trip, getting a
tour of the Panama Canal, then
boarding a moving submarine.
You had a pretty unique experi-
ence as a civilian, of being on the
boat for eight days underwater
from Panama to San Diego.
IN YOUR EARLY days there,
the yard was building ships for
the U.S. Navy, whereas now they
are cutting up nuclear vessels ac-
cording to international agree-
ments. Life has changed on the
inside of the gates in response to
the changes on the outside in this
political world. And the work
force at PSNS has gone from over
us going on one salary as we
raised both our kids, clear
through their school years• I re.
member the big promotion you
got in 1971 to code 382, in facili-
ties manufacturing, as a GS-7•
And up you went through the
numbers, to a GS-12 in short or-
der, then moving into 300-N in
1983.
• Your chin is too close to your nose?
• You can't see your teeth when you smile?
• Your lips have disappeared?
• You can't chew anymore?
• Your teeth look darker?
Do you really think you have to live like this?

Do You Know Why?
By LINDA THOMSON
Dear Tommy,
Dearly beloved, I have loved,
honored and cherished you for
one-third of a century, but now
you are retiring from Puget
Sound Naval Shipyard. Oh, no!
Now what?
As somewhat of a control freak
(who, me?), I have a fear of the
unknown future, and this is a big-
gie! What will you do with all
your time? I know you have creat-
ed a "to-do" list, from remodeling,
painting and re-roofing the house
to doing more motorcycle riding.
But I can't help but think you
may interfere with some of my
stuffwhile you're at it!
PSNS has been good to us,
starting with your apprenticeship
as a pipefitter when you were just
20, and my steady boyfriend! By
the time you graduated from that
program, we were married and
had one child, and I was no longer
working, at least for pay!
In 1968, you got to make a
pretty memorable trip, getting a
tour of the Panama Canal, then
boarding a moving submarine.
You had a pretty unique experi-
ence as a civilian, of being on the
boat for eight days underwater
from Panama to San Diego.
IN YOUR EARLY days there,
the yard was building ships for
the U.S. Navy, whereas now they
are cutting up nuclear vessels ac-
cording to international agree-
ments. Life has changed on the
inside of the gates in response to
the changes on the outside in this
political world. And the work
force at PSNS has gone from over
us going on one salary as we
raised both our kids, clear
through their school years• I re.
member the big promotion you
got in 1971 to code 382, in facili-
ties manufacturing, as a GS-7•
And up you went through the
numbers, to a GS-12 in short or-
der, then moving into 300-N in
1983.
• Your chin is too close to your nose?
• You can't see your teeth when you smile?
• Your lips have disappeared?
• You can't chew anymore?
• Your teeth look darker?
Do you really think you have to live like this?
