Forks Mayor Bryon Monohon said, “For anyone that has concerns, I suggest they contact their county commissioners and congressional staff.” He added that he did feel the community should have been better notified.

One letter cancelled the previous comment period and the other extended it to Oct. 10, stating that the action was taken due to renewed interest.

According to the second letter, in addition the legal notice stating this fact will be published in the Peninsula Daily News.

Dear Editor: Electronic Warfare, capable of causing electromagnetic radiation exposure to human beings and wildlife, that sounds serious and you can believe the U.S. Government is serious.

They say if humans or wildlife are detected, the activity must be stopped. Since when did the U.S. Government start caring about what they do to humans and wildlife?

Taking into account they went out of their way to hide this from us must mean they didn’t think we would like being exposed to radiation.

Why don’t they go someplace where there aren’t humans and wildlife?

Well, obviously we are a very important part of the test, which makes us lab rats. They won’t even speak with us about this because they chose to ignore lab rats.

So how do you stop such a

thing? It sounds like the DNR is helping them, does that mean we have been sold out by the State?

Yep, that sounds serious.

More questions than answers

Dear Editor, There is quite a bit of concern shown from many of the citizens of Forks over the Electronic Warfare operations that are proposed to soon take place in our area. There is a map of the site where the Navy will be using electromagnetic radiation emitters.

The map was printed in the Forks Forum and I believe there is a copy of the map in the Forks Library.

We have been given conflicting information to our questions. When my daughter voiced her concerns she was told to contact Gregory Wahl, project lead and environmental coordinator for the U.S. Forest Service, in Olympia.

The following is her letter which I believe voices all our questions.

D. Brown Dear Greg Wahl, I am a concerned citizen living inside the area of the proposed Electromagnetic Warfare Training Range.

No notice was ever put in our local papers to inform the public of this action. By

chance I noticed a small sign at the Forks post office about three weeks ago and read that the public comment period had ended Aug. 14.

How convenient for slipping it past the people affected by this war range.

I have many questions regarding this practice. What exactly is it? What exactly will it be used for? What exactly does it do to the flora and fauna and people in its vicinity? What exactly is the purpose of this technology?

Defensive or offensive? Does anyone who is making the decisions to okay this in our beloved area know exactly what they are okaying?

Yes, we are being bombarded every day by electromagnetic waves from numerous sources. Do we really welcome and need anymore?

I, for one, do not want to promote any war, we need to focus on fixing our planet.

When they want to start a Peacefare Training Range I’ll be the first to sign up and encourage them.

One last question that you may know the answer to – how did our area become a military operating area to begin with and when?

Thank you for your time and I would be grateful for any answers or help with this you might be able to impart.

Also, if your extended comment period applies only for the two people who comment-

Support Shoona Riggs

Dear Editor, I am a 1962 Forks graduate currently living in Port Angeles. I am asking my classmates, friends, uncles, cousins, nephews and wives to vote for Shoona Riggs for Clallam County Auditor.

I have known Shoona Riggs for 16 years and she defines honesty and integrity. Shoona has worked in the Clallam County Auditor’s office for the past 18 years, eight of which she has been the Elections Supervisor, and is also the current Chief Deputy Auditor. She now works under the current Auditor, Patty Rosand, and has worked under several past auditors. Previously she worked in the Jefferson County Auditor’s office for six years before relocating to Port Angeles.

Shoona and her husband, Ron, are the parents of four children and are also foster parents. Shoona and her family have welcomed more than 20 children into their home over the past several years.

Most people do not know the duties of the Auditor. The Auditor has many functions such as elections, motor vehicle licensing, marriage licensing, recording and auditing other county offices budgets.

However there is a misconception that the Auditor handles public money. That is a function of the commissioner’s office and they ultimately approve expenditure of public monies. The auditor simply audits those budgets.

So, I am asking you to vote for Shoona Riggs who knows these offices inside and out and backwards! Experience counts and Shoona has all that and more!

SIORF (Soroptimist International of the Olympic Rain Forest) met on Thursday, Sept. 18, to begin plans for the annual Festival of Trees. The theme for 2014 is “Home for the Holidays” to be held at the Congregational Church from Dec. 6-7. Notifications to prospective sponsors will be going out soon.

Pre-orders for wreaths is open with any Soroptimist member.

New this year will be a Gingerbread House contest. The theme will be the same as the festival with three age categories: children 4-7, youth 8-15 and adults 16 and up.

The entries must be the work of the contestant, all items on the entries except the base must be entirely edible. Entries will be judged on originality, best interpretation of the theme as well as technical ability in use of materials. Entry forms will be available soon with a list of prizes and fees.

Again, a raffle tree will be featured with the theme yet to be determined.

The Saturday Open House on Dec. 6 will follow Santa’s Breakfast and allow viewers to make early bids on the Silent Auction as well as preview the decorated trees, wreaths and gingerbread houses.

The Festival of Trees is SIORF’s largest fundraiser and we depend on the generous support of this community to meet our gift giving goals.

“We need to find the source of the illness,” he said.

THE REAL FORKS Oh, the hypocrisy

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford Franklin Roosevelt established the Olympic National Park in 1938 in order to protect the area for future generations to enjoy. The National Park Service (NPS) has remained very serious about the “protect” part. If you look at, smell or touch anything in Olympic National Park, you can face the death penalty … or worse, be sentenced to drive behind tourists for eternity.

To better explain just how touchy the NPS is about its land, I’d like to point out that there are exactly 31,587 rules and regulations just on the subject of roasting hot dogs there. To loosely (keyword being loosely) quote the NPS rulebook, “Hot dogs may be roasted over the fire, but they must be vegan as to not depress any animals that may have lost loved ones to the hot dog industry. You cannot use wood roasting sticks because that would be using a resource found in the park, nor can you use a metal roasting stick because that would be introducing foreign material into the park.”

If you run a property in Olympic National Park, things get even more complicated. For example, just to remove a DEAD tree that is leaning dangerously over a propane tank, one needs to fill out more paperwork than is required to buy a house.

After the paperwork is completed, experts from all areas must come to the agreement that removing the DEAD tree will have absolutely no impact on the rest of the park. Things get real heated when the philosophy expert weighs in on whether or not anyone will hear the tree removal if no one is around.

The NPS is the most strict with regards to animals, even going as far as to fine people who take pictures of animals “within any distance which disturbs or displaces wildlife,” (actual quote on the NPS website).

If you manage a business within Olympic National Park and mice decide to move in, these rodents cannot be harmed in any way. You must catch them in a live trap, relocate them to another area and redo this whole process a thousand times a week as mice know where to get their bread buttered … literally.

Strangely enough, the same NPS that so dutifully protects wildlife is perfectly OK with allowing radiation experiments to be performed in areas immediately surrounding the park. Radiation experiments as in, “We don’t know what will happen when we do this.” I think about this contradiction and a little song by Alanis Morisette comes to mind, “And isn’t it ironic … don’t you think? A little too ironic … and, yeah, I really do think …”

Rest assured though, the NPS has proven itself time and time again. They will undoubtedly offer all the protection in the world to the cute little three-headed fish that come as a result of these radiation experiments. I know I can sleep well knowing that the radioactive mutant species will never have pictures taken of them.

Honoring a life of hard work Every year since 1981 a “pioneer logger” has been honored during the annual Hickory Shirt/ Heritage Days celebration in Forks. This award is presented by the West End Business and Professional Association. Past recipients have received plaques, certificates and other items acknowledging their contribution to the timber industry.

Many have not only left their mark on the West End economy but have made Forks the community it is today.

Lawrence Brager was the first to receive the award. Born in Seattle, he and his brother came to Forks around 1935 and ran a logging company. His job usually was running steam donkey.

Hassell Ray received the award in 1982. Raised in North Carolina, he came to Beaver in 1947 and worked for Rayonier until his retirement in 1980. His job was falling and bucking.

The next winners were Perry Duncan, Elsworth Whitehead, Ernie King and in 1986 Walter Roberg. In addition to working in the timber industry, Roberg was once mayor of Forks and a county commissioner in the 1950s. Roberg died in December of that same year.

In 1987, Bill Wentworth received the award, next was Ted Spoelstra, then Floyd Thornton, Joe Bunker and Wiley Duncan in 1991. Duncan was born on the Quillayute Prairie; his father Perry had been a previous recipient of the award. He was a busheler.

In 1992, Bob Tuttle Sr. was honored. In addition to operating

The late Lawrence Brager was the first “Pioneer Logger.” Anyone that remembers Lawrence will remember his favorite comment “everything is copacetic.”

a logging company, Tuttle also raised cattle and had a tree farm.

Next was Martin Diimmel, then Ed Duncan, Ray Hull, Maynard Lucken, Del Huggins, Richard Miller and in 1999 Lawrence Gaydeski. Gaydeski also served as county commissioner. At the dedication of the Forks Logger Memorial in May 1992 Gaydeski tried to explain who a logger is and why anyone would choose this line of work.

In 2000, Jack Olson was chosen, then Joel Dahlgren and in 2002 Kaye Kelso was selected posthumously, his family accepting the award.

In 2003, Lloyd Allen and Myron Simmons were both chosen, in 2004 Rocky Fletcher Sr. was honored. Wally Crippen in 2005 was not only a veteran of the woods, but also served in World War II and was at the Battle of the Bulge.

In 2006, the first woman to receive the award was Eleanor Thornton, a member of a local pioneer family; her husband Floyd previously had been honored.

The Forks Forum belongs to the readers of the newspaper. The opinion section is the place where reader thoughts appear as letters to the editor. Letters longer than 300 words are sent back to the writer for revision. We only edit for spelling and grammar. Any substantial changes are sent to the letter writer for revision. While we strive to publish all letters, those focusing on local issues take precedence over statewide or national issues.

No personal attacks or unsubstantiated allegations are accepted. Those letters are returned to the writer with an explanation why the letter is not going to run in its existing form.

Deadline for letters to appear is noon the Monday before publication. Letters are published on a space-available basis, with time-sensitive letters on local issues taking first priority. There are times, therefore, when a letter might not appear for a week or two.

Letters to the editor can be mailed to the Forks Forum, PO Box 300, Forks, WA 8331; e-mailed to editor@forksforum.com; faxed to 374-5739; or dropped off at our office at 44 S. Forks Ave. All letters must have a name, address and telephone number for verification purposes. Only the writer’s name and hometown are printed in the newspaper.

In 2007, E.C. Gockerell was honored for his time at the Forks Department of Natural Resources. Gene Spaulding was picked in 2008 and in 2009 Ingrid Dahlgren was the second woman to be selected and the second time the award had been presented posthumously.

Next up was Carroll Koenke.

Sometimes when potential honorees are contacted that they have been chosen for this award they are really, well, less than pleased. Most don’t want any fuss or recognition. Winner Koenke said he would accept the award on one condition; he did not want to ride in the Fourth of July parade. After much convincing and the promise of no parade, he accepted.

Willard Morgan was honored next and last year’s winner was Dale Raben.

The Hickory Shirt award continues to represent the spirit of those who have been honored before. The winners of this years award will be presented Wednesday, Oct. 8, at the WEBPA meeting 7:30 a.m. at JT’s Sweet Stuffs.

History Tales resumes with life on Tatoosh Island talk Joanne Pickering will talk about her life on Tatoosh Island at the Clallam County Historical Society’s History Tales lecture series at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 5, at the First United Methodist Church, 110 E. Seventh St., Port Angeles. Parking and entry to the church’s social hall are on Laurel Street.

Imagine life in 1958 without computers or cellphones and living on a tiny island battered by storms and dangerous waters. The terrain is so rugged that visitors and residents must climb into a boat basket and be hoisted up or down a 90-foot cliff by a huge boom when they

want to get onto — or off of — the island.

Joanne Pickering and her husband Earl moved to Tatoosh Island after he landed a job with the U.S. Weather Bureau.

They lived on the island for four years.

“At that time, the weather info from Tatoosh was extremely important to the forecast center in Seattle,” Pickering says.

“Gathering weather data back then was so primitive compared to today’s technology, with radars and satellites, but it was extremely valuable for ships.”

Tatoosh Island was known as a ship graveyard and a lighthouse and fog bell were built in 1857. A weather station was established in 1883 with data transmitted to the forecast center in Seattle.

Pickering’s presentation will include photographs, information about the Makah Tribe which used Tatoosh as a summer fishing and whaling camp, and a brief history of the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Weather Service’s activities on the island.

History Tales is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Clallam County Historical Society’s office at 360-452-2662.

Garden Club Plant Sale and Flea Market The Bogachiel Garden Club will hold its annual Plant Sale and Flea Market on Saturday, Oct. 4, beginning at 9 a.m. at 631 Fifth Ave. The club also is looking for donations of plants that local gardeners may be thinning out at this time. For information or questions, contact Linda Wells at 374-2437.

Stop the Checkpoints meeting The next Stop The Checkpoints meeting will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4, at The Museum at the Carnegie, 207 S. Lincoln St., Port Angeles.

The Topic: Defending Civil

Liberties — Stop the militarization of our borders, towns, and schools.

It has been six years since the founding meeting in 2008 where points of unity were voted on. Two of the four points agreed on were “Defend civil liberties!” and “No police state on the Olympic Peninsula or anywhere!” At the October meeting there will be a short presentation on the recent increases in military equipment given to local law enforcement and school districts.

Discussion will follow on how this equipment is being used to squelch civil liberties and brainstorming on what can be done to stop the militarization of communities.

There also will be a report on the local People’s Climate Rally (which Stop The Checkpoints helped to organize) and the multi-issue speeches connecting the dots between climate change, food justice, money in politics, immigration, racism, poverty and other issues. Photos will be shown of the 70 people attending and posing with signs on the viewing tower at City Pier.

The public is welcome to attend and participate. For more information, call 360-452-7534 or see www.stopthecheckpoints. com.

Have you found a ‘drift card?’

Kinder Morgan, the largest midstream and the third largest energy company (based on combined enterprise value) in North America, is looking at a plan that would result in over 400 tankers loaded with tar sands oil traveling through the Salish Sea each year. If approved, this project would put the Salish Sea at greater risk of a catastrophic oil spill.

To better understand the direction that oil might take, over 1,000 small drift cards (4inch by 6-inch pieces of bright yellow plywood, each with a unique serial number) have

been dropped at locations of higher risk of incident along the oil tanker route that runs from Burrard Inlet, through the Gulf and San Juan Islands and out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Just like a message in a bottle, the drift cards carry a simple message: This could be oil.

When the drift cards are found and reported to www.salishseaspillmap.org, their recovery locations will help to map paths oil spills might take and how far the oil could travel.

While there are many differences between oil and drift cards, the cards are influenced by both surface ocean currents and wind, much like oil on water. By linking the drop sites to the locations where the cards are found, the card movements can be tracked, areas where they accumulate highlighted. The data collected therefore also will bring understanding of which communities, recreational sites, species and habitats could be affected in the event of a spill.

Saving the Chalet: Part 2

by Sherry Baysinger Sept. 1 While Larry and Sara stayed focused on weighing loads for seven mules, Mike, Al and I set out to catch the hard-tocatch mule, which we never succeeded in doing. Mules hate being alone and they really love their feed, so it was only a matter of time when we managed to “lead” her with a bucket of feed, back to the corral.

After considerable time trying horse-whispering techniques, which usually work on mules, we gave up and made the game change. We would take the other two mules, but leave the hard-to-catch mule behind. It turned out to be a very wise choice.

About mules Mules are half horse and half donkey. Most mules have a horse mother and a donkey father, though it can be the other way around. Because most mules start out following their horse mother, they prefer a horse leader to follow. That’s why most packers lead their mules with a horse. A mule will rarely leave the horse.

People have asked us why mules were being used to bring in equipment on the chalet trip when helicopters were available. The Wilderness Act of 1964 states that the agencies must use the minimum and least disturbing method of tools to carry out work in the wilderness.

In 2004, the Olympic Park

The cook tent. Submitted photo

Associates, Wilderness Watch and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility filed and won a lawsuit against Olympic National Park for its plans to utilize helicopters to fly in two replacement shelters.

Mules still are considered to be an acceptable “tool” for wilderness shelter maintenance.

Olympic National Park has its own string of around 20 mules near the Elwha Ranger Station at Whiskey Bend. Three seasonal mule packers work all summer packing tools and equipment for the park’s seasonal trail crews who keep trails open and maintained all

summer long.

Some people wonder why we pack mules instead of horses.

Generally speaking, mules are tougher than horses. They rarely have soundness issues when working on steep mountain trails.

The more they work, the tougher they get, whereas horses often will develop tendon and ligament problems.

Mules are self-preservationists and rarely stumble or fall off the trail. Three of our mules have been packing for us for over 15 years and none of them has ever been lame or unsound.

Mules live longer than horses,

commonly into their late 30s.

Larry’s lead horse Tramp is a big American Quarterhorse and is a big, strong lead horse.

Mules have a reputation of being “stubborn as a mule.”

They really aren’t stubborn, but they are very smart and don’t want to go anywhere that they expect to have a problem. Once they’ve had a bad experience, they rarely forget it.

Back to packing up for the Quinault Enchanted Valley Trip …

We use a packer scale to weigh each load. Bear-resistant pack boxes are required for food in the park. Pack boxes weigh around 70 pounds loaded. Miscellaneous gear

FORKS FORUM

such as sleeping bags, pads and other bulky items are wrapped in canvas manties and tied on top with ropes. Our mules were carrying about 175 pounds each, considerably less than the average person riding a saddled horse.

However, packs are dead weight, so having packs balanced on the mule is very important. Scott Montgomery’s draft-type mules were carrying more than 200 pounds, mostly feed for our stock.

The Quinault trail has some steep rocky places, so animals and people have to be in condition to get to the chalet.

Our mules already had been on mountain trails helping us do trail maintenance earlier in the summer.

They worked incredibly hard every day, packing their own feed and ours. Not one came up lame or injured and Larry rode and packed them 15 miles all but one of the 14 days he was moving our stuff in and out. All told, mules hauled more than 5,000 pounds of gear and put over 200 miles on their shoes.

Hazards on the trail: Trail riding has its hazards; hikers and bees are often to blame. Many of the people we meet on the trail have no clue about livestock. It’s extremely difficult for a packer leading a long string of mules to back up or turn around.

The rules of trail etiquette are clear: Stock has the right-ofway. Some hikers think they can out-walk the mules and try to stay ahead instead of just Continued on page 9

the chalet with only a few more similar encounters to come and thankfully none of those were as exciting. We learned from the next encounter of guys with PVC pipe that they were U of W students and the pipes were for measuring snow pack on the glaciers.

It would be nearly dark by the time we arrived with our first mule-load of gear.

With the help of the trail crew, we unloaded the mules, put up high-lines for stock containment, set up our wall tent, organized our pack boxes, put our kitchen sets together, set up a serving table, water filter bags and started supper for the crew of nine. Most of these were park trail crew workers who had been getting the trail in prime shape for mules. The house movers would hike in on Tuesday.

Since it was so late, we decided to cook up our Bear Creek minestrone soup and add Sara’s home-raised hamburger to it. By the time dishes were done, we were all ready for a night’s rest. It was misting and foggy. If this weather lasted, the helicopters wouldn’t be able to fly and the whole project would be dead in the water.

To be continued …

Correction

Due to a switch of football jerseys this photo that identified Zack Carlson (38) as the Spartan bringing down a Montesano player was actually Garrison Schumack who had actually worn #38 during that game. For the remainder of the season Schumak will be wearing #30 and Carslon will wear #38.

finding a good spot to get out of the way.

Some hikers approaching a string of mules will just keep coming until the packer asks them to kindly move off the trail. These might be some of the same people we see passing on double-yellow lines on Highway 101. They just don’t know the danger they are causing because they’ve never seen a mule train wreck.

So when we encountered our first human hazard, it was something neither we, nor our mules, had ever before witnessed on any trail. Two young men were carrying several long pieces of PVC pipe and walking one behind the other up the trail. Larry asked them to get off to the side and said, “Don’t move until we get past.”

Just as Al’s two mules on the end were passing the hikers, one of them hiked up the PVC pipe and those two mules jumped straight up in the air, their breakaway strings snapping with a sound like a gunshot. They whirled around in the trail and charged toward Sara and me like they’d been shot out of a cannon.

It happened so fast that I don’t know how we managed to jump off our horses and grab hold of the mules. If that hardto-catch mule would have been with us, she likely would have run past us and all the way back to the corrals. In time we had the mules tied back into the string and were heading up trail. I’m sure the hikers were astounded by what they had just witnessed and one mad grandma made sure they were educated about how to behave around animals next time.

Ground bees, otherwise known as bald-faced hornets, and yellow jackets get really cranky toward the end of summer. When a string of mules comes vibrating the ground, they are usually pretty stirred up by the time the fourth or fifth mule passes and that’s when the rodeo begins. Since I’m always riding drag, I get to see the rodeos.

In this situation, the front mules already were around the hairpin turn and heading down the switchbacks. The last thing Sara and I witnessed was the end mule’s hind end going straight up in the air and the clatter of horseshoes on the rocks heading downhill. When we got to the bottom of the switchback, we found the end mules had broken loose and a few packs had to be adjusted, but no humans got stung.

We were almost halfway to

Generous community school supplies donations The West End is a great community that cares about its young people. Quillayute Valley School District was fortunate to receive school supplies donations for students of all grades from various entities in our community. First Federal held its annual Red Wagon collection in August. Soroptimists of the Rain Forest also purchased bags of supplies and together delivered them to Sandy Heinrich, coordinator of the district’s Readiness To Learn Program just in time to help students and families struggling financially to obtain supplies requested on separate grade level lists.

The following week Prince of Peace Lutheran Church’s congregation generously donated backpacks and supplies to Heinrich’s program which helped meet the needs of many students at the 6-12th grade levels especially.

Heinrich sent out a district e-mail to teachers with a list of donated items. Many staff

members have stopped in her office to obtain supplies for students.

Readiness To Learn is a program supported by three Family Support Advocates: Berlinda James, Sandra Velasquez and Sandy Heinrich.

They work with students and families to help eliminate barriers that are preventing students from being successful in

school. They are appreciative of the generosity that is shown from its community members and service organizations.

If you are interested in donating school supplies to the school district, contact Sandy Heinrich at 374-6262 ext. 256.

Items in big demand are 1½-inch three-ring binders, flash drives and composition notebooks.

Pat Dowell, DVM, and her team assisted 65 families with 160 vaccine injections for their pets on Sunday, Sept. 21, in addition to taking care of a couple of emergency appointments.

LaPush and Forks get a better Christmas than they’d otherwise have, because every year volunteers work hard to put on a big auction and fish feed at the Akalat Center to raise money.

With that money they buy clothing and toys for the children. At auction the kinds of things you make – quilts, afghans, appliqué art, jewelry, woodwork – can sell for hundreds of dollars and make a big difference in a child’s holiday.

If you’re a cook, think about donating a pie or other baked goods, gleaming jars of jelly in a pretty basket, loaves of freshly baked bread. If you

are a fisherman, please think about donating extra fish for the dinner. Think about going

on a special fishing trip just for Cherish Our Children – that’s the best excuse ever for

a day of fishing!

If you are not artsy-craftsy, but you have some nice, gently handled or new items you have no use for, consider setting them aside for the silent auction tables.

It may feel early, but time passes quickly, especially as the holidays seem to roll up on each other – Halloween, Thanksgiving … Christmas.

Cherish Our Children is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 5, this year – almost exactly two months away.

To donate items or your own time to help out, or to find out about pick-up and drop-off of items, call Sandy Heinrich at 374-6262 ext. 256.

School district receives grant to support teacher mentor program Quillayute Valley School District is one of five school districts across the state to receive grant funding to support new teachers. The purpose of the funding is to create a systemic program that better serves first- and second-year teachers, as well as any new teacher from out of the state.

Several years ago, the district identified the need to create a program that would better induct teachers into the community and schools. Because of this planning, the district received funding last year to support its work.

The current school year serves as the first year of true implementation.

Elena Velasquez, a 23-year-veteran teacher, is spearheading the program in her new role as the district’s instructional coach. She and a team of teacher leaders designed and organized a two-day New Teacher Academy. Any new teacher could access the two-day training, although new teachers (as first- and second-year or new from out of the state) were required to attend. Teachers were acclimated to the district, assigned a mentor teacher, took a tour of the Forks’ greater community by bus, set up their classrooms, learned about the new Teacher Principal Evaluation Program (TPEP), as well a variety of other activities.

Superintendent Diana Reaume said, “Elena Velasquez and her team created a welcoming environment for our new staff. They specifically designed the first two days to demonstrate how important relationship building is to the climate of a classroom.”

Each new teacher also is assigned a mentor with whom they will meet frequently. New teachers also are required to attend monthly meetings.

They will have an opportunity to observe master teachers throughout the year, as well as have an opportunity to be observed by their mentors.

Mentor teachers are required to attend special training by the state, as well as have an opportunity to be a part of the Teacher Roundtable meetings once a month.

“The whole point of the program is to provide support so that continuous growth occurs across all levels of teaching. We are fortunate to have the funding to put these systems in place,” said Reaume.

Habitat seeks volunteers

City to take comments on animal code

By Showandah Terrill

“I see who you are,” said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.

Admittedly a very old pun.

Still, it can be hard to want to volunteer to help out on a job site or on a committee, when you don’t know who anybody is. Habitat for Humanity is really in need of helpers, so we thought we’d let you know who’s already there helping.

We are your neighbors, your friends; the person who sits beside you in church or at the high school football game. All of us are local. Here are three people you may know.

If you don’t, come by and introduce yourself. If swinging a hammer and physical work is your idea of volunteering, these are the guys to ask.

The job site itself is being supervised by construction coordinator Connor Nielson. He owns Clear River Construction and Design.

Three days a week he works on the Habitat house, the other four days he’s an independent licensed contractor. He’s originally from Idaho and came to Forks after serving in the Marine Corps.

In a moment of sunshine, from left, Bob Tiemeyer, Bill Terrill and Connor Nielson get set for a day of roof work and siding prep on the Weaver Habitat for Humanity house. Submitted photo

He’s been here a while and plans to stay, saying Forks suits him. In “all his spare time” (followed by a chuckle) he enjoys the same thing most of the folks out here do – fishing, hunting, surfing. He’d welcome you on the site and will patiently teach you what you need to do to best help out.

Bob Tiemeyer has been here since 1958. After 50 years you’re considered a local, even

by Forks standards. He’s a retired correctional officer who worked at OCC, which accounts for his gruff and humor-

ous approach to the job.

He enjoys traveling with his wife of 13 years and he enjoys working on the Weavers’ house, as well. He says he got his building knowledge from working as a volunteer for Habitat, and “just common sense,” which should tell you that serious walk-ons are welcome.

Bill Terrill has 40 years of building houses under his belt.

He’s retired only in the sense that he doesn’t have to punch a time clock anymore. When he’s not pulling his big orange

Woodmizer around doing custom bandsaw work for people or working on the Habitat house, he and his wife are refurbishing the old Hagadorn place out on the Quillayute – you know, Jack Tuttle’s dad’s old place – where they tend a small herd of lowline Angus, a huge garden, greenhouse, berry patch and a relatively unproductive orchard.

Bill is a patient teacher, having been married to one for 42 years. He, too, would welcome more help, and says every person can contribute something.

Habitat is once again building in our community. Our crew is a mix of Forks folks who worked on the last house, along with an enthusiastic new group of local talent. Habitat in Forks has a bright future and we would like you to consider joining us.

Come by the site or contact the Habitat Clallam County office at 360-417-7543.

The Forks City Council will hold a public hearing on a proposed set of revisions to the city’s animal code, specifically Chapter 6.05 of the Forks Municipal Code, at 7:30 p.m.
