LETTERS POLICY

Your opinions on issues of community interest and your reaction to stories and editorials contained in your Sequim Gazette are important to us and to your fellow readers. Thus our rules relating to letters submitted for publication are relatively simple.

• Letters are welcome. Letters exceeding 400 words are returned to the writer for revision. We strive to publish all letters.

• Letters are subject to editing for spelling and grammar; we contact the writer when substantial changes are required, sending the letter back to the writer for revisions. Personal attacks and unsubstantiated allegations are not printed.

• All letters must have a valid signature, with a printed name, address and phone number for verification. Only the name and town/community are printed.

• Deadline for letters to appear in the next publication is 5 p.m. Friday;  because of the volume of letters, not all letters are published the week they are submitted. Time-sensitive letters have a priority.

• Letters are published subject to legal limitations relating to defamation and factual representation.

The numbers whirl around us like leaves on a blustery autumn path. Millions, billions, trillions (what IS a trillion, anyway — and what comes next?)
 
OLYMPIA, Thursday, March 12 — The room held all the gloom of a group of grave diggers burying a band of morticians.
 
As a pastor who has served in Port Angeles and Sequim, I have had the privilege of walking the halls of Olympic Medical Center, visiting members of my congregation for 27 years. I have never stayed overnight except for one sleepless night wired up in the sleep clinic.
 
Reporter's Notebook
EDITOR’S NOTE — Reporter Evan McLean’s last day with the Sequim Gazette was Tuesday. He will be greatly missed by his colleagues in the newsroom, and we wish him the best.
 
Aginners. That's what the late Jerry Norman called them: aginners.
 
Guest Opinion: Since at least 2004, Clallam County residents have helped the state and county monitor water quality at popular beaches around the county through the Beach Environmental Assessment, Communication and Health program - B.E.A.C.H. - run cooperatively by the Washington departments of Health and Ecology.
 
Guest opinion: As if we haven't had enough bad news about the economy and the impact on state and local budgets, here's another tough pill to swallow.
