Despite major storm damage to the south of Forks the just over 5 inches of rain had little or no effect on the West End. Brian King, Clallam County Sheriff’s Department said, “Completely uneventful for us up here. About all we got was really wet. No weather related incidents.”

Dear Editor, Every other Monday evening right here in Forks, an extraordinary true “live” performance of uniquely American music occurs. The music is pure, made in America bluegrass performed by a group of extremely gifted world class musicians who have consistently set up and performed for the residents and families of the FCH long term care unit for free!

Now I am not a professional bluegrass critic or syndicated Nashville bluegrass band talent scout, but I do consider myself a fair judge of bluegrass music due to the fact that I’ve spent over one-third of my life living in the Appalachian region of this country.

This area is the epicenter of bluegrass music and where bluegrass still reigns supreme.

It is preferred over rock and roll and notably preferred over contemporary music such as hip-hop and rap music on any sunny day and in every public parking lot you’ll always hear the bluegrass music over-

Pickup driver harassing elk Dear Editor, ‘Twas the night after Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.

Well, that’s not completely true because I was stirring, returning from the bathroom.

When looking out my window I observed a great sight, a

whelming the aforementioned styles of music.

Even in the college parking lots, that’s really kind of shocking because most of those cars and trucks belong to the students, the younger “now generation” what this group here in Forks gives us is a extremely wonderful “blessing” in this day and age being able to freely enjoy a live bluegrass band of this caliber.

These performances are open to anybody who can get to the hospital and find a comfy chair

to pull up.

I asked Isaiah, one of the excellent guitar players, “What’s the name of this group?” He just smiled tolerantly and humbly said, “I don’t know, not ready yet,” so, that sounded absolutely perfect to me thereby ever since that time, my wife Kimberly and I call them “not ready yet” but the truth is they really are ready so we will continue to enjoy them every chance we get before they get hauled off in a half million dollar tour bus.

To personally enjoy some of THE best real bluegrass on this side of the Mississippi, now is your chance to listen to this “undiscovered” group of astounding musicians, so come on down, lend an ear, start tapping your toes, slapping your knees or whatever you can to stay in tune with this uniquely American music venue.

Smile huge, give your heart a lift and keep clapping until your fingers turn blue, but don’t worry because, hey, you’re already in a hospital!

Where fix’n “blue fingers” is a piece of cake. You’re also welcome to bring yourself a simple snack but definitely no alcohol or drugs.

These dedicated musicians considerately and selflessly share their time and as previously stated their “world class” talents with ALL who gather at the FCH long-term care unit on a designated Monday evening at around 6:30 p.m-ish.

To bring priceless joy to the residents and families of Forks community hospital long term care.

large herd of elk roaming the night.

As I stood there watching the elk in the street, along came a loud pickup not missing a beat.

Its headlights a glaring, its muffler a blaring, into the herd it roared, the elk it was scaring.

You know that kind of muffler, sounds like an old man passing gas inside a barrel.

OK, a poet I am not, but I wondered why someone

thought it was such great fun to make several passes through the herd chasing them all around the area. As I saw lights in other houses come on others must have been having the same thoughts.

It was bad enough to be disturbed by a loud vehicle racing up and down the street, but seeing the animals harassed

was senseless. A short time later before getting back to sleep I heard an elk whistle and looked out to see eight more elk, five of them young bulls, walking down the middle of the street.

Thankfully the pickup was not around anymore.

Forks Avenue welcomes new broker

Trying out the new train at the Forks Library on Dec. 27, are from left, Candida-Rose Sandoval, Hannah Humes, Aden Mueller and Kalena Politte, age 4 months.

The reading train was purchased by The Friends of the Forks Library nearly seven years ago using funds donated by community members. Since that time the little wooden train has been a favorite place for youngsters to sit, read, discover and learn.

Thanks to the financial support and generous volunteer efforts of Forks Elks Lodge #2524, the little train has a fresh coat of paint and several enhancements to inspire a new generation of beginning readers. The library extends its gratitude to Lodge #2524 and the national Elks organization for funding the train. Photo by Lonnie Archibald

She was born on December 14, 1935, in Forks, WA to Herb and Evelyn (Fraker) Welch. She grew up in the Wishkah Valley and graduated from Wishkah Valley High School.

After serving in the Navy she married Michael Bodnar, also from Wishkah Valley. They later divorced.

She was then married to Ray Fitzgerald from Elma, WA. During this time she worked as a cook in both Aberdeen and Hoquiam. Later they moved to Montana for several years where she cooked for various ranches. When Ray became ill they returned to Washington State and the Wishkah Valley.

After Ray’s passing, Myrna met Dennis Nearing.

THE REAL FORKS

The Dirt on Chinook

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford I am a huge fan of Chinook Pharmacy. I’m not just saying that to get a personal parking spot right in front either. If a reserved parking spot is offered as a “tip” for speaking highly of them, that would be OK, too, but I value their services either way. I like Chinook so much that I even had them refill my seizure meds when I lived across the country. If that doesn’t warrant a special, “Best Customer Ever” parking spot right in front, I don’t know what does.

Chuck literally has gone above and beyond for me on multiple occasions. Once he even tried to get the greedy, price-gouging, selfish, uncaring, heartless, scumbag Pittsburghian pharmacists to price match Chinook’s fees for my meds. They refused and tried to extort $300/month from me. Also, they flat out refused to give me a personal parking spot. I’m not bitter about any of that though … I just took my business elsewhere. More specifically, to Chinook.

The only thing that could make me like our pharmacy more would be if they were to ensure that I never have to park three miles away ever again. This could only be accomplished by reserving a parking spot for me right in front. Other than that, they couldn’t be a better business.

I really hate to drag Chinook’s name through the mud because I have the utmost respect for them. Also because I think it will destroy any chance at getting my own parking spot. It really pains me to bring this subject to light, but it must be done.

I’ll get right to the point; the pharmacists at Chinook offered to go home with me. Yes, you read that right. I am not making this up. They wanted me to take them back to my place. If this revelation shocks you, imagine how I felt being propositioned in one of my favorite businesses.

I expect this kind of behavior from the Pittsburghian pharmacists. After all, they clearly have no morals, but I would never have guessed that my most favorite pharmacy would partake in this kind of activity. It was hard to deny with the proof in my face though. There on the wall, practically screaming at me, was a brochure with big letters that read, “TAKE YOUR PHARMACIST HOME!” My mouth hit the floor. “Take you home? I like you all, but not that much!”

Now that the cat is out of the bag on this situation, I’m sure the backtracking will begin. The pharmacy will claim that the brochure is about a safer, new pill dispenser that is just like having your pharmacist at your home. Blah blah blah … typical public relations crisis management. We both know the truth.

Frankly, I don’t know what to think of Chinook anymore.

Perhaps a guaranteed parking spot right in front will smooth things over. Just a thought …

Questions? Comments? E-mail me at christyrasmussen@ yahoo.com. Disclaimer; the brochure really is about a new pill dispenser.

Lost and Found

Sometimes it seems life is one big lost and found. You lose your keys, your glasses, your phone and usually they really are just misplaced. But sometimes you lose something that your heart has grown to love.

On Friday Dec. 19, there was a pretty big thunder and lightening storm, Heidi Anderson’s dog Ruger, a 2-year-old Blue Heeler, happened to be outside when the big one hit and took off running. Heidi contacted the Forks Forum to put a lost dog ad in the paper.

Ruger was missing from the Whitcom-Dimmel Road area.

The Andersons’ were devastated, although Ruger was lost he did have a collar with ID and was micro-chipped.

A week went by and a Ruger sighting was reported on Salmon Drive, several miles from the Anderson’s residence.

Then nothing, despite trips by the family to find Ruger the trail went cold.

On Saturday, Dec. 27, a tired and injured Ruger limped to a residence on Tyee Ridge Road.

There Brandon and Becky Hamlin made some phone calls and Ruger’s lost story became a found one.

On Monday Dec. 29 Ruger headed to the vet and after some surgery he is expected to make a good recovery. It is believed he may have been hit by a car during his adventure.

Anderson says she may look in to some sort of GPS collar for Ruger.

While on Monday Ruger’s lost story was coming to an end a new one was developing.

Just as I went to turn the computer off, Monday night, a plea from a mother on the Forks Lost Pets Facebook page caught my eye.

It said, “I know this is not pet related but I am desperate.” She explained how she had taken her daughter for a walk that day, it was clear and windy, and somewhere along the way her 3-year-old daughter’s “favorite

blanket” had fallen out of the stroller. This lost blanket was very special, her daughter slept with and pretty much never let it out of her sight, now it was time to go to bed and the missing blanket was causing a crisis.

She described the route they had taken and so I sent a message back to her asking if she had come by the Forks Forum office. She said not exactly but it was so windy the blanket could have blown anywhere.

Remembering a pink something next to the light pole when I left work I thought it was a long shot. I told her I had seen something pink in the vacant lot next to the Forum parking lot. I had thought about checking it out when I saw it but it was so cold I had not.

A family member immediately drove to the Forks Forum parking lot and even though it was dark out there it was, it was the pink blanket found.

Crisis averted!

A quote from Richelle E. Goodrich sort of sums it up“Happiness is a simple game of lost and found: Lose the

things you take for granted, and you will feel great happiness once they are found.”

195-pound division and Sebastian Morales won his first four 126-pound matches before falling by decision in the final.

Alan Ensastegui won two matches at 132 pounds, one by pin and one by decision.

One of the four forfeits for Forks was at 220 pounds, the spot that two-time top-three state finisher Miguel Morales usually fills.

Morales was out due to injury. He hopes to return for this weekend’s Gut Check Challenge.

After falling to Forks, Sequim defeated Mount Tahoma (5324) and then lost to Marysville-Getchell (43-30) before beating North Mason (42-39) and White River.

Forks takes third at The Rock

The Spartans had a respectable third-place finish at Vashon’s The Rock tournament, finishing above all other Class 1A participants, but coach Bob Wheeler didn’t think it was his team’s best performance.

“I wasn’t really happy with the overall performance,” Wheeler said of Tuesday’s meet.

The Spartans allowed the Cruisers too many secondchance opportunities in this Evergreen League matchup at Forks High School.

Forks coach Rick Gooding tried switching the defense from zone to man-to-man, but the Spartans still struggled to box out.

“Which was horrible to see,” Gooding said after Friday’s game. “We’ve got to start out-working some teams, especially as young as we are. We’ve got to find some grind and toughness.”

Forks was led by Colton Raben’s 14 points, all of which came in the second half.

Parker Browning added 13 points, Marky Adams had eight and Cole Basinger scored seven for the Spartans.

Forks had eight placers and two champions.

Javier Contreras won the 145-pound division by defeating Jerimiah Cronk of Mount Baker in the final and Miguel Morales beat Tyler Rupe of

Montesano in the 220 final.

The Spartans also had two second-place finishers, Dimitri Sampson in the 195 division and Tristan Tamua in the 285 class.

Other Forks placers were Sebastian Morales and Alan Ensastegui, third and fourth, respectively at 120 pounds; Kenny Gale finished sixth at 160; and Jack Dahlgren was co-third place at 18.

“Part of being a community anchor is making sure we are listening to all the segments of our community, not just the adults. A youth council is a proven method for accessing the interests, needs and priorities of young learners,” said Melissa Williams, Feiro’s executive director.

Feiro also is accepting nominations for its 3rd Annual Marine Science Student of the Year award, which will be presented at the Fish on the Fence Gala on Feb. 6, at the Red Lion Hotel in Port Angeles. Last year’s winners were Alex Wise, who studied whether using historical Makah fishing gear could reduce bycatch, and Karsten Turrey, for dedicated volunteer service to local marine and watershed education and conservation efforts.

The deadline for both nominations is Jan. 23.

Travel photography series offered “You love to travel and you love taking photos, now put them together for one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences you’ll ever have,” says John Greengo, one of the presenters in an upcoming series of intermediate-level Travel Photography Workshops.

This four-week series of classes will be held at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road in Sequim,

and in Port Townsend. It begins on Monday Feb. 9 — just in time to sharpen travelers’ skills for the upcoming traveling season.

The four Monday sessions have been designed for those who want to take their photographic skills to the next level. Course participants also will have an opportunity to exhibit their work at the River Center throughout March.

• On Feb. 9, DJ Bassett leads

off with Ten Secrets of the Masters. The class will be at the River Center from 10 a.m.3:30 p.m. Bassett has assisted in Ansel Adams Photo Workshops in Yosemite National Park. He co-owned the Jackson Hole Custom Color Lab and operated Firehole Photo Expeditions in Yellowstone National Park.

Clallam County Shoreline Master Program (SMP)

It rained and rained and rained and rained, The average was well maintained; And when our fields were simply bogs, It started raining cats and dogs.

After a drought of half an hour, There came a most refreshing shower; And then the queerest thing of all, A gentle rain began to fall.

Next day ‘twas pretty fairly dry, Save for a deluge from the sky.

This wetted people to the skin, But after that the rain set in.

We wondered what’s the next we’d get, As sure as fate we got more wet.

But soon we’ll have a change again, And we shall have …

A drop of rain.

Clallam County will hold four regional public forums in January on the November 2014 Draft Shoreline Master Program (SMP). Attend a public forum to hear about the Draft SMP, become familiar with shoreline matters and state requirements, and offer your feedback. In February, the County Planning Commission, a citizen advisory body, will hold four regional public hearings on the Draft SMP to gather public comment to assist them with recommending a SMP for review and adoption by the Board of Clallam County Commissioners.

The Draft SMP is a proposed update to the County’s nearly 40‐year old SMP. It applies to lakes (20 ac. or larger), rivers and streams (flow over 20 cfs), and marine waters; areas within 200 feet of the ordinary high water mark or floodway of such water bodies; and associated wetlands, floodplains, and critical areas. It is a comprehensive use plan for shoreline areas that includes goals and policies, shoreline environmental designation maps, use and development regulations, and administrative procedures for the shoreline permitting process.

Dr. and Mrs E. W. Myers — good and faithful servants

By Christi Baron The history of Forks is reflected in the lives of people who came here to settle from all over the world. Two of those people were Josephine and E. W Myers. The Myers came to Forks just after the big fire in January 1925, where most of the town burned to the ground.

He was an osteopath and general practitioner and she was a nurse.

Dr. Meyers graduated from the S.S. Still College of Osteopathy in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1905. Mrs. Myers graduated from the Iowa Sanitarium in the same city the following year.

They were married two days after her graduation and followed their chosen professions until 1912 when they went as medical missionaries for the Seventh-day Adventist Church to a part of Africa known as “the white man’s grave” Sierra Leone. The good doctor would later say, “The day of miracles

is not over as we spent seven years in the grave and are still living.”

In 1919 they came back to America, took post graduate work and were advised not to return to Africa on account of Mrs. Myers’ health. After several years of practicing in the sanitarium connected with Walla Walla College they came to Forks.

It was 1925 and they were in search of a town that needed a doctor and heard Forks was desperate. They rented a house just off the main street and within a few years they built a home and office of their own on what is now the corner of Spartan Avenue and Division Street.

Their home also served as a small hospital with Mrs. Myers as nurse, where they delivered many of the town’s babies. Dr. Myers’ first patient was Frank Gaydeski for a minor ailment.

His first major case came a few days later when Grandma Maxfield, one of the first white women to come to the Quilla-

yute Prairie, broke her hip.

Dr. Myers not only took care of the town’s health, he also acted as secretary of the town’s volunteer fire department and when a regular fire district was formed, he acted as secretary and fire commissioner for many years. He served as school director for seven years during the 1930s and served on the Ration Board during World War II. Although the Myerses never had children of their own over the years they cared for 40 foster children and one adopted African boy.

In the history of health care in Forks it seems the Myerses have been left out and his accomplishments don’t seem to be recognized anywhere. I personally always will remember him because he checked out my cat’s hurt foot when I was a child.

The Myerses lived in Forks until their deaths — Mrs. Myers in January 1964 and the good doctor in November 1967.

History from the pages of the Forks Forum Jan. 19, 1950 Worst Storm in the History Hits on Friday the 13th Those who are superstitious had “their day” on Friday, Jan. 13, 1950, when the worst storm in the history of the West End hit.

A strong northeast wind estimated at 40-60 miles an hour picked up snow with the result a blizzard, the first to ever strike here. Old timers remember the storm of 1893 which they say did not compare to Friday’s combination of snow and wind.

It was so cold and penetrating that a number of people had parts of their bodies frostbitten after being outside just a few minutes. The coldest temperature was recorded Saturday

morning by Mrs. O.J. Ford, Government Observer, who informed the paper that the mercury hit four above zero.

The Coast Guard Station at LaPush reported 50 to 60 mph wind gusts with the coldest temperature being 11 above.

Local people reported that the Quillayute and Dickey rivers were frozen over and that most all other rivers and creeks had ice on them.

In Forks according to the official weather report 29.29 inches of snow has fallen since the first of the year.

BLIZZARD CAUSES DRIFTS On farms southwest of Forks — the Mansfields, Pages, Reynolds and other farms snow Reach

drifts eight and nine feet deep could be found. Most of these families were marooned until bulldozers were used to clear out roads. Drifts on the prairie east of Forks were piled high and it was reported that there were deeper drifts at Lake Pleasant and Tyee.

ROADS The Worst tangle of traffic was reported on Beaver Hill on Friday when a big snow drift had the mail bus, freight truck, passenger bus, some state equipment and private cars marooned all day. The vehicles were eventually dug out.

TELEPHONE LINES All lines to Port Angeles and many of the local lines in outlying districts were out of commission. The wind and snow had toppled many trees.

TELEPHONE OVERTAXED Increased use of the telephone by housed-up people have caused the telephone facilities to become overtaxed.

Calls have averaged 5,000 per day in the Forks dial exchange.

WATER MAIN BROKE The storm blew a tree down which fell across the water main near the dam. The creek which Forks gets its water supply was frozen over but was thawed by Sunday.

POWER SHORT There was an acute power shortage Friday and part of Saturday. Both General Electric Motors light plants are water cooled and the radiators

on the two machines froze solid. Portions of Forks were out of power.

BARN BLOWS OVER Wind and snow destroyed a barn belonging to W. A. Smith who lives on the Quillayute Prairie. Cattle in the barn belonged to Joe Wentworth, most were saved, three were lost.

Diane Schostak benefit planned

A benefit is planned to assist Diane Schostak, longtime Forks resident, former director of the Forks Chamber and retired executive director of the Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau. Schostak has been facing some health challenges and to help out with expenses there is a benefit dinner and silent auction planned from 6-8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16, at Lake Crescent Lodge. The lodge itself will be closed for the season, but will open privately on this evening for dinner, $40 a plate, and a silent auction. For questions or for those that would like to contribute in any way, contact Mike Rainey at mike.rainey@makah.com.

STORM, from page 12 new 1949 Studebaker, was struck by a tree on the LaPush Road and is now bent in the middle.

Naturally the freezing weather froze and broke many water pipes and caused other inconvenience. For lifelong residents of Western Washington and for many others, it was their first blizzard and most of them don’t want to see another.

this storm was actually the worst ever and he said, “I checked the weather books and it was noted: “On the 13th we had a blizzard. The snow drifted badly couldn’t measure snow, couldn’t see any distance. On the 14th lots of drifts.� The records show we had 46 inches of snow, but if it could not be measured because of drifting it may have been much more. I remember in 1954 we had 41.60 inches of snow and we had a lot of snow drifts that year as well. If appears as if 1950 would be worst with the blizzard. In 1954 the records only say very strong winds.�

Chatting Around the Campfire

Part 3: Forks Spartan Boys Track Record Holders

By Duane Miles The graph below shows the long-awaited comparison of Forks High School boys track record holders, in individual running events, for both the yardage and metric eras.

Take note here, that all listed yardage marks are logged into the school record book for all time — or until such an improbable time that there might

be a return to U.S.customary units — whereas (almost) all metric records are in jeopardy of being broken with each new track season. The need for the word “almost” toward the end of the previous sentence will be explained next time.

Before you study the graph below, the following details may be of importance to you: MPH is miles per hour, Diff. stands for the difference in feet between the two distances and sec. is short for seconds — also notice the addition of 100ths of a second for some events during the metric elec-

tronic era.

Of all the athletes listed above, only my nephew Brett Corbin was a sophomore. I am convinced that had he continued his track career, he likely would now hold at least two more school marks. However, he chose to concentrate on basketball instead.

In the accompanying photo, take note that Stan Peterson has No. 34 on his uniform.

Alongside him are fellow

basketball varsity team members for 1968. In listing this entire team, they are from left, George Blattner, Larry Baker, Stan Peterson, John Spoelstra, Rich Liles, Jerry Price, Mike Price, Jim Rosmond, Russ Gale, Bob Seigle, Dennis Perry and Ed Rondeau.

Before I conclude this week’s episode, here is another appeal to you readers; our Forks Library has quite an assortment of local high school yearbooks,

Floods, heavy rains take toll at Quinault, emergency declaration issued The Quinault Indian Nation has issued a declaration of emergency due to extreme rainfall over the past two days which has caused numerous landslides, culvert failures and washouts on the Quinault Reservation. The QIN Property Management Division has ordered an emergency inspection of all the tribe’s buildings and

infrastructure and major access roads into the tribe have either been closed or are considered extremely hazardous, said QIN President Fawn Sharp.

“The Moclips Highway 109 Bridge near Quinault Village, a main access road to and from the Quinalt Nation, has been washed out and closed. That is a major problem for the tribe,”

she said.

“The Moclips River flooding is the worst I’ve seen it. If it is bad as it looks, SR 109 could take days to repair. And if our own Moclips Highway needs major repairs, we will have significant commuter problems,” said Sharp.

She added that the Moclips River is flowing over its banks

however there are a number of missing years. Those missing are from the following years: 1964, 1967, 1970, 1981, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2010, 2011 and 2012. Please help with a donation of one of these missing annuals.

one mile south of the Moclips Highway. For safety reasons SR 109 in Moclips has been closed. “The river has claimed at least two vehicles. One belonged to a Quinault elder and was left abandoned on the highway in the flood. An unknown number of other tribal members who live adjacent to the river were evacuated at midnight last night and are now taking refuge at the Quinault Beach Resort and Casino in Ocean Shores. This section of SR 109 is closed until further notice. SR 109 is very treacherous for motorists currently due to standing water and debris caused by the flooding,” she said.

“The good news is that the rainfall is expected to diminish this evening and is not likely to return until Friday. But it is important for people to remain alert for potential slides, lingering flood dangers and infrastructure damage. Please, start this new year off safely,” said Sharp.
