A 40-foot Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe totem pole was placed in front of the Northwest Maritime Center on Thursday. The 1,600-pound art piece was created by master carver Dale Faulstich. Below, a replica of a dugout Salish Coast canoe carved and decorated by Faulstich, top left, and Andy Pitts, lower right, was installed in the center’s Wooden Boat Chandlery as part of the Chetzemoka Trail project. The man in the center is unidentified.

PORT TOWNSEND — Port of Port Townsend commissioners have unanimously extended interim Executive Director Jim Pivarnik’s employment through June 30, 2020. Pivarnik was given a 10 percent raise, based on the consumer price index, to $148,632 annually from $132,000 with four weeks vacation. He began work Sept. 18 as interim director Commissioners made the decision Wednesday after an executive session. Commissioner Pete Pivarnik Hanke said previous director Sam Gibboney, who left the post last September and is now the executive director of the Port of Olympia, was paid $150,000. “Jim has come in and done an excellent job and this gets him up closer to what she was paid,” Hanke said. “It’s fair in terms of his costof-living increase.” Port Attorney Frank Chmelik said the amendment replaces the severance package that was previously negotiated. “If you hire a new executive director, he can either become the deputy executive director or resign,” Chmelik said. “If he resigns, he gets no severance. We’ve eliminated the severance package from the contract. In a sense, the economic exposure of the Port of Port Townsend is less now.” “Instead of waiting until September and doing an eight-month contract, I just thought we could do a year contract and extend it,” Pivarnik said. “I will be hitting the road after that.” TURN

Consumer fireworks are banned in Port Townsend. This includes the sale and use of them, according to Port Townsend Police Sergeant Troy Surber. The Port Townsend Police Department investigates a varying amount of fireworks-related calls each year. “It all depends on call load and prioritizing,” Surber said. “In one day we can have 10 calls about people lighting off large or small fireworks and then
the next day we may not have any. “So basically it’s to essentially make contact with the people using [fireworks] and confiscate them if they’re violating the law. We can issue tickets or not.” The ban came about because of many small fires and injuries caused by people using fireworks, Surber said. Within the rest of Jefferson County, the regulations fall squarely under the Washington
