Closer to home than you think Service clubs put spotlight on human trafficking By MEGAN STEPHENSON

mstephenson@northkitsapherald.com

POULSBO — Those who work in the prevention of human

trafficking want the public to see it as a broader problem that can affect men, women and children. Human trafficking doesn’t just mean a young woman being sexually exploited. It can also mean a farm laborer or a cleaning woman being forced to work for little or no pay through fear or coercion. People like Shawna Seals, a member of the North Kitsap

Optimist Club and founder of Peninsula Lighthouse Ministries, want the public to know about this “modern-day slavery.” And for the first time, several organizations teamed up to present a plethora of seminars, films and events to educate Kitsap residents. All this month, which was declared National Slavery and

‘The Fourth Wall,’ a satire, opens this weekend at the Jewel Box Theatre.

‘THE FOURTH WALL’ AT THE JEWEL BOX POULSBO — “The Fourth Wall” is a tongue-in-cheek satire of art and American politics during the era of the George W. Bush administration, set in the suburban upstate New York home of an upper-middle-class couple. At its center is the tale of a frazzled suburban woman who rebels against the complacency of her friends, marriage, government — even her living room furniture. The Jewel Box Theatre presents A.R. Gurney’s satirical comedy Jan. 27 through Feb. 11 — Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. The theater is located at 225 Iverson St. in downtown Poulsbo. The show is directed by Island Theatre cofounder Steve Stolee, directing for the first time at Jewel Box. Tickets are $16 adults; $14 seniors, students and military. Tickets are available online at brownpapertickets.com (Search: Poulsbo); via e-mail at jewelboxtickets@gmail.com; or by phone at (360) 697-3183. An opening weekend special of $9.99 is available for tickets purchased online for the Jan. 27-29 performances. Season presenting sponsor is Liberty Bay Bank. Info: www.jewelboxpoulsbo.org.

Glenn Haskin of Poulsbo displays his Masonic apron. His first job with the local lodge was lighting the building’s four oil stoves so the building would be warm when the Masons arrived.

AINBRIDGE ISLAND — An old proverb says, “Those who wish to sing always find a song.”

And there will be plenty of songs to discover this Saturday at the annual Sing Out! event on Bainbridge Island. “It’s probably the most joyous day of the year on Bainbridge,” said Dian O’Brien, who has attended all

12 events and will be in attendance again this year. “When I moved away to Arizona for a while, I made sure to come back for Sing Out!” In its 13th year, the toe-tapping, hand-clapping, soulful gathering draws people from across Kitsap,

Seattle and even out of state. The two-part event includes a singing workshop in the afternoon and a performance by the workshop attendees and the Total Experience Gospel Choir in the evening. You decide how much to participate — if you wish to sing out, or simply let the songs wash over you. Either way, organizers say the event will be a memorable one. The event began when Bainbridge See SING OUT, Page 2

OULSBO — The Warren G. Harding Masonic Lodge No. 260 is tied to downtown history like lutefisk is to lefse. The lodge has occupied the third floor of the Eliason Building since the 1920s; the building was owned by E.J. Eliason, son of the man

credited with founding Poulsbo. The lodge was named after President Harding and is arguably the first permanent tribute to the late president, as it was so named only two days after Harding’s death. The lodge shared the third floor with a net loft and, during World War II, the Ration Board (where the kitchen and storage closets are).

In the ensuing years, the lodge would be a constant amid change downtown, and in the lower floors of its own building. The building also emerged unscathed from two considerable fires downtown. After returning home from World War II service as a P51 pilot, See MASONS, Page A3
