INDIANOLA — A forum for Indianola Port Commission candidates is scheduled for Sept. 17, 7 p.m. in the Indianola Clubhouse.

The forum is sponsored by the North Kitsap Herald and will follow the format commonly used by the League of Women Voters.

The candidates: Eric Cookson and Matthew Smith, District 2; and Patrick Hatchel and John Lane, District 3.

Cookson said his work schedule precludes him from participating. The format allows a representative to read an opening and closing statement on his behalf.

Each candidate will get three minutes for an opening statement. Questions will be taken from the audience, with a one-minute response from each candidate. Each candidate will get three minutes for a closing statement.
