Adele Ferguson: Rep. Dirks conducts ‘town hall’ at Rotary

WHILE SOME members of Congress were struggling to get a word in edgewise at town hall meetings where John Q. Public had suddenly effervesced into pit bull status, where was the senior member of Washington’ s delegation of 11, the honorable Norman Dicks? Why, safe and sound in the bosom of the Bremerton Rotary Club.

The last place anyone would expect any disruption from an audience is from the elites of the most elite service club. As I recall, the old saying goes the Lions build the town, the Kiwanians run the town and the Rotarians own the town.

I may have the Lions and the Kiwanis mixed up....
