Charnas to replace interim DCD head BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington Air National Guard soldiers from Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane work to assemble temporary living structures at Joint Base Lewis-McChord on May 24. Emergency responders will conduct drills to test how ready they are to respond to a massive earthquake and tsunami.

Massive quake rehearsal set BY TERRANCE PETTY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PORTLAND, Ore. — Imagine a devastating earthquake and tsunami have cut off Pacific Northwest coastal communities. Phone and Internet service have collapsed. Ham radio operators living on the stricken coast fire up their radios, contact emergency managers and report on the magnitude of the disaster so that no time is wasted in saving lives. This is the scenario that will be rehearsed Tuesday through Friday in an earthquake and tsunami drill that has been developed by the U.S. government, the military and state and local emergency managers to test their readiness for what — when it strikes — will likely be the nation’s worst natural calamity. The exercise is called Cascadia Rising. TURN

PORT TOWNSEND — Jefferson County has selected a permanent director of the Department of Community Development, eight months after the former director retired. Patricia Charnas, 57, was selected to replace Carl Smith, who retired in September. David Goldsmith has served as interim director. She is expected to begin work July 5, earning $8,403 per month or $100,836 per year, plus benefits. Her employment is scheduled for approval at the Jefferson County commissioners’ regular meeting at 9 a.m. Monday in commissioners’ chambers at the Jefferson County Courthouse, 1820 Jefferson St., as part of the consent agenda. Charnas — who had worked for the Kitsap County Department of Community Development since 2004, most recently as the division manager of Planning and Environmental Programs — already has resigned her Kitsap County position, according to the department. She was not available for comment Friday and had left town, a colleague said.

‘Seasoned manager’ County Administrator Philip Morley in a news release described Charnas as “a seasoned manager who brings diverse community voices into government’s planning work and is a strong advocate for staff support and development to better deliver services to the public. TURN

It did not happen in 2015, when it was replaced by a celebratory picnic for Main Street’s 30th birthday. Throughout the years, the event has met with varying success, mostly because of the weather, according to program coordinator Dawn Pierson.
