Nippon plant’s leader resigns

Protective measures

Bookshop has high hopes

Norlund to take job in Canada

BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — A small bookshop that has changed ownership is reopening with a shot of optimism for its future success despite competition from Amazon and big-box bookstores. “People appreciate a wellcurated bookstore,” said Anna Quinn, who with her husband, Peter Quinn, is now operating Imprint Books in a merger with the Writers’ Worshoppe, which has been open for five years.

PORT ANGELES — Harold Norlund, executive vice president of Nippon Paper Industries USA, resigned Thursday from the paper mill to take another paper mill job in his home country of Canada, a company spokeswoman said. Cathy Price, Nippon’s human resources manager, said Norlund, a Sequim resident, gave notice Wednesday he was leaving the mill at the base of Ediz Hook after 12 years as a company executive and was at his office for a short time Thursday before leaving for good. “It was a shock for all of us,” Price said midday Thursday. “It’s been a very emotional morning for us. “I am happy for him and his family, but we are not happy for ourselves.” Norlund did not return calls Thursday for comment.

Combination name The new name combines both stores as Writers’ Workshoppe Imprint Books at 820 Water St. Writers’ Workshoppe opened five years ago as a store with workshops for writers, while Imprint Books has been in business for 40 years. “The best of both are now combined, literally and figuratively,” Anna Quinn said. “People come in here and know this really is the cream of the crop of what’s available. “The selection is handcrafted and all wonderful.”

5,000 titles The store has about 5,000 titles, providing a large selection in a small space. TURN

Port Townsend City Council member Bob Gray, background, and Patrick Moore plant one of 39 sequoia trees that will be used as a barrier around the Port Townsend Golf Course to prevent stray balls from escaping onto San Juan Avenue or toward the buildings across the street.

Price said Norlund was hired to a management position at Catalyst Paper in Port Alberni, Canada. Catalyst has 315 employees compared with Nippon’s 189 full-time employees, including 122 union workers. Norlund was resident mill manager at Nippon when he was promoted to executive vice president in 2013 and held both positions until his departure.
