WEEKEND: Sequim City Band to perform free concert Sunday at James Center for the Performing Arts in Carrie Blake Park

SEQUIM — The James Center for the Performing Arts in Carrie Blake Park will host the Sequim City Band at 3 p.m. Sunday.

The center is located at 563 N. Rhodefer Road, with parking available at Rhodefer Road to the east or Blake Road to the west.

The concert is free to the public.

The outdoor venue has limited seating, so organizers encourage attendees to bring chairs or blankets as well as refreshments.

Under the direction of Tyler Benedict, the band will pay special tribute to Frank Sinatra in honor of the crooner’s 100th birthday, which was Dec. 12, 2015.

The band will be joined by guest singer and announcer Amanda Bacon.

Among the standards to be performed are the 1958 hit “Volare,” Hoagy Carmichael’s “Stardust,” Rodgers and Hart’s “My Funny Valentine” and “Come Fly With Me.”

The band also will perform “Witchcraft,” “Mack the Knife,” “Love and Marriage,” “My Way” and “Theme from New York, New York” — all combined in a jazzy medley titled “Ol’ Blue Eyes.”

Another medley will be “Highlights from Guys and Dolls” by Frank Loesser.

A yellow oil-containment boom surrounds the 60-foot power cruiser Goldfinch after it sank at the Point Hudson Marina on Saturday. The boat was on its way from Seattle to Anacortes when it started taking on water. It made it to the Point Hudson and struck the breakwater as it entered the harbor but was able to be steered into slip 3, where it immediately sank. Port of Port Townsend staff responded and deployed the hard boom and absorbent material to contain the fuel spill. As of Monday afternoon, about 1,000 gallons of diesel had been recovered by Global Diving and Salvage with 650 gallons from the fuel tanks of the Goldfinch and the remainder being sopped up by absorbent material. The U.S. Coast Guard and the state Department of Ecology responded and performed additional containment. A plan for recovery was in the works, but it wasn’t expected to begin before Wednesday due to weather. (Steve Mullensky/for Peninsula Daily News)
