FES makes a big 12

Last Friday, Forks Elementary School students and staff took to the Spartan football field and created the biggest #12 this side of the Hood Canal bridge.

This photographer could only go as far as the highest seat in Spartan Stadium for this shot, but Bob McIntyre and his drone equipped with a GoPro camera, that takes a photo every few seconds, took to the sky and got some birdseye shots. McIntyre said although it was clear it was a little windy, up there, tossing the drone around a bit. Photos by Christi Baron and Bob McIntyre

A spokesman for the Forks Police Department reports that on Wednesday, Jan. 28, at about 9 p.m. the FPD received an anonymous call from someone at Forks Community Hospital reporting that a 27-year-old Forks man was seeking treatment for a stab wound.

The victim, reluctant to participate at first, eventually gave officers enough information to proceed to a residence on Calawah Way. Officers went to a residence where they located the alleged perpetrator. Pokie “Bay” Smith was arrested at that time. Officers also located what was believed to be the weapon, which was sent off for DNA analysis, and in the search also located drugs and drug paraphernalia at the home.

The victim, not identified by the FPD, suffered a wound dangerously close to the kidney area, and was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center and later released. Smith was booked into the Clallam County Jail and it is unknown at this time if charges will be filed.

In other crime news, Bob Stark, owner Forks True Value, reported that sometime on Monday, Feb. 2, during business hours, the building at the lumberyard, 522 S. Forks Ave., was entered and cash from the cash register taken.

Forks High School FCCLA members Zach Carlson and Bailey Powers visited the Forks Intermediate School sixth-grade science classroom to educate their younger peers about being fit and eating healthy. Zach’s project, Student

Body, is a national peer education program that helps young people learn to eat right, be fit and make healthy choices.

The sixth-graders in Ms. Kearn’s classroom learned about ChooseMyPlate, where they figured out how many cal-

ories they should be consuming each day and how much of each food group those calories should be coming from. They also did physical exercises and calculated how many calories they burned during the exercise.

Forks mayor Bryon Monohon’s State of the City 2015 Editor’s note: It has become tradition for Mayor Bryon Monohon to address the Forks Chamber of Commerce with a state of the city address each year. The mayor presented the following speech on Wednesday, Jan. 28.

I’ve honestly sketched out dozens of potential speech topics and written several and even now on the morning of the speech continue to revise it. If I’ve learned anything from this exercise, it’s that sometimes it’s best to just stick to the core issues and move on. Outside of those larger issues that the City of Forks traditionally is involved in I expect us over the course of 2015 to just mind our own business and try to stay out of people’s lives as much as we can. I do foresee some issues from other governments and organizations turning on the GPS and finding their way around Lake Crescent at which time “no thank you” is likely an appropriate answer.

I would like to thank the citizens of Forks for all you do and being the people you are. We’ve had many challenging years in our past and I have hopes of moving into a peaceful and successful era for all of us in the future.

We do miss those folks that have either passed on or have had to move out of the area to pursue different economic opportunities.

I offer a special shout out to all of our tireless volunteers.

Don’t lose sight of who you are and why you do things and most of all don’t let the frustrations of government and bureaucracies dampen your spirit. Also, I would like to thank the crew at Forks Radio for their job covering local issues and also to thank Christy Rasmussen for always making me laugh.

I would like to thank Christi Baron for all of the historical photos in the Forks Forum as well. I also would be remiss to not offer thanks to all of our veterans that have served us with honor and to our police who diligently work to keep us safe.

It’s been a great year for education in Forks.

Peninsula College understands rural education and has made a huge investment in Forks and I believe that the enrollment is proving just how much of a need there has been. One can get a great education at Peninsula and the Forks branch combined with the renovated Forks NOLS library, the soon to open RAC and access to local fitness facilities can make a real difference in anyone’s life. I’m also really proud of the anti-bullying campaign we

have in the school district.

Our kids are learning how to express themselves without reverting to demanding and demeaning forms of communication. We’re also blessed to have some incredible educators and support staff in this community.

We have great kids.

Our biggest challenge as a community is driving home the message to our children that they can aspire to greatness if they are only willing to reach for it. Several of our recent high school graduates are doing really well in big city colleges and have consistently out-performed kids from larger school districts and private high schools.

I’ve got a few thoughts on a variety of topics that need brought up. If I’ve got a mayor’s wish list, I would love to see some more businesses in town and storefronts filled. We’ve got some quality locations at good prices, a quality loyal local population from the entire West End, a reliable and steady flow of tourists, and a government and business organizations that work well and cooperate with each other.

We would love to help start and foster your small business or even help you relocate an existing business to our community.

One great opportunity is at the kiosk in the transit center. We’re told how important tourism and the national park are but the park service didn’t have the budget to pay the small rent and pulled out and left town so there is a great opportunity to reach out to park visitors with some quality information and souvenir items as well as stock some sundries for the college and high school kids right by campus.

I keep using Flamingo Jim’s in Rockaway Beach, Ore., as the type of business that I could see doing well in Forks. Camp 18 in Elsie, Ore., also is an example of an attraction that can be merged into a local business to maximize potential sales volume. I realize that some of our buildings are on the older side and need some work.

We’re here to assist owners with ideas if facility improvements are of interest to you. I also could see one or two more thrift-type or secondhand stores as well as a brew pub as a possibility that would have some appeal.

The Rainforest Arts Center is on schedule and slated to open in the middle of April. We’re not opening something that is going to be fully realized from day one so get a feel for the building and feel free to join any of the groups that are planning ideas for events and make your voice heard. We’re already seeing some community events, some musical things, drama and movies being planned.

We’ll have the ability to show all sorts of older movies for a most appropriate and family affordable price but the catch is to show them we won’t be able to advertise what they are ahead of time. If you have interest in the retail space, please let the City know.

I’ve repeated many times that we’re building a building for future generations and that it is important that the building have some similarities in feel to the old building. I believe that we’ve done that. We’re talking about putting several time capsules in the building. Let me know if you have ideas.

950 South Forks Ave. • Forks, WA • 374-6161

I need to say a few words about Interfor. First off, if you are an Interfor family or know of an Interfor family that is struggling, will you please let me know at City Hall? I promise confidentiality if that is needed or comfortable.

I’m getting bits and pieces of situations but no names and few details and we are here to help. Second, even with all of the changes in the timber industry, the City of Forks remains committed to the support of the industry and our families.

That will not change under my watch nor do I expect it to ever change, especially as so much of our lumber comes at heavy expense to the biospheres of other countries. While there always was the risk of Interfor closing in this economic climate I can strongly state that the City worked closely with Interfor to retain their presence and renegotiated and lowered their lease two years ago. This lease continues in effect and the property is in the hands of Interfor for the next eight years.

One of our great community success stories of this last year is the collaborative effort between the Quileute Tribe, the Northwest Olympic Peninsula Sportfishing Coalition, the Olympic Fishing Guides Association, the Pacific Coast Salmon Coalition and the City of Forks to place 100,000 coho smolts into our local river systems.

It is noted that we all have the ability to unite parties that usually don’t work together to address shared vision and

needs. My personal thanks to Bob Kratzer for his tireless drive in making this happen. Watch carefully to see how people and organizations from out of the area respond to this partnership.

Just watch. I predict it will be entertaining.

An event from last year that will have a long-lasting impact upon the community is the Quileute Tribe’s purchase of the 110 Business Park. While, of course, development of this property faces some challenges that will need a team approach, I am excited to work with the tribe and I foresee that this relationship stands to be strong and beneficial to everyone for generations to come. I will be meeting with the tribe over the course of the next few weeks to discuss this further.

In closing, I don’t know why things are the way they are right now in the world but I can’t help but believe that the evolution of the Internet and the ability to comment instantly on anything is perhaps defining of the age. Stay focused on faith and the people and things that are of value to you. This is our community, be a part of it, give of yourself, you’re important, you can make a difference.

If you’re a citizen of Forks, city officials can help teach you about government and more about how things work and why we do things the way we do them.

We’re blessed to have a great city staff and city council. I wish you all the best for 2015.

Happy 70th anniversary to the City of Forks on Aug. 6. Go Hawks!

Deborah Susan Amsdill December 2, 1963 - January 24, 2015

Deborah Susan Amsdill of Forks, Washington passed away peacefully from cancer at her daughter’s home at the age of 51.

She was born to Earl and Patricia McKean on December 2, 1963 in Morenci, Arizona.

Deborah married Arlo Amsdill of Forks on September 2, 1988 and together they raised their children.

Deborah enjoyed being a homemaker and mother.

She loved and was so proud of her five children and seven grandchildren, with an eighth on the way.

She loved living the simple life. She enjoyed spending time in nature, gardening, reading, and taking care of her many animals.

She was loved very much and will be greatly missed.

The family asks that memorial contributions be made in her memory to the Forks Friends of Animals, 71 Calawah Way, Forks, WA 98331.

The family is planning a celebration of life to be held privately in early spring.

THE REAL FORKS Pants required

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford I say that I have a day job, but technically speaking, I work at night. I would say “night job” but that sounds stripperish.

For this reason, I just call it my day job. I love everything about the job with the exception of the dress code. They require pants. Weird, I know, but I usually have no problems following it. Sometimes though, putting on pants is more than I want to accomplish in a day. On those kinds of days, I desperately do not want to go to work.

A few weeks ago, I had an anti-pants kind of day. Actually, it was really more of an anti-get out of bed kind of day … and it would have worked too if it weren’t for those meddling kids.

Alas, they needed to be fed and I was scheduled to work later. So I dragged myself out of bed and began mentally preparing for what the day would bring; pants. Hours passed and the mental preparation wasn’t doing much. I still had no ambition.

At this point, a normal person would have just called off work, but I’m not a good caller-offer. Instead, I just hoped for a miracle. I thought to myself, “Please, let there be a tsunami warning or something today.” Dramatic? Maybe. Desperate?

Clearly.

At “leaving-for-work o’clock,” I reluctantly headed out the door, still hopeful that maybe something would come up.

Sadly, I soon found myself in the parking lot with no other option but to clock in. I checked my phone one last time before leaving it in my car … because I don’t bring my phone into work … because that would be breaking the rules.

Right before putting my phone down, I saw a news story about an earthquake. An earthquake … as in, a tsunami causer! I froze. “Oh no!” I thought. “What have I done?!” I was just being a drama queen. I never had intentions of actually causing a natural disaster. I take it back. I take it all back!

But then I realized, maybe this is a good thing? With my newly acquired God-like abilities, I started experimenting.

“Let the sun shine!” … and yes, I sang it. This command wasn’t as successful as the tsunami command. It continued raining. Perhaps God himself can’t even stop it from raining in Forks? I decided to try something smaller. “Let me win the lottery with the ticket that I never purchased!” I looked around my car. No lottery ticket. As God, I was merely a onehit wonder.

The good news is that a tsunami never came to be. The bad news is that my job still requires pants. If I had a “Night Job” *wink-wink*, this wouldn’t be a problem. Pants are not required at those kind of places. Though, dance moves are required and I have none. I guess I probably should just keep my day job.

To have a tsunami created (no questions asked), please e-mail me at christyrasmussen@yahoo.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLICY

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.

Commentary

Hello Baby, is that you?

Mondays are a very busy day here at the Forks Forum office, but I always try to answer the phone, just in case any big breaking stories are happening, because I don’t want to miss a thing.

So, it was quite annoying when at around 10 a.m. last Monday the phone started ringing. Not just once but about 20 times, one call after the other!

The first call-nobody there-I hung up-immediately it rang again-dial tone, and so it went over and over, until the 20th call, then I heard the voice of the obsessive, phoning, fanatic … it was a baby.

That’s right, somebody’s baby was playing with a cellphone and either the Forks Forum number was the last number called or was programmed in and this baby had my number.

I don’t have caller ID or star 69 so I was at this baby’s mercy. How could I reason with it? It didn’t seem to talk yet. In the old days, like five years ago, one might call the phone company. Instead I did what any red-blooded American would do — I went to social media and I posted my pain on Facebook. Since I have really great friends that are very supportive, many gave me tips on how to ditch the baby but most thought the entire thing hilarious. Some even threatened to call impersonating the baby! I love my friends.

About an hour later the baby called back and then must have had lunch and a nap because no more calls came in.

Tuesday morning dawned, also a busy day because the paper goes to print at 11 a.m., and at 10 a.m. the baby called.

This time I could hear adults talking or television in the background. The baby called about six more times and then left me alone the rest of the day.

I was gone Wednesday to Port Angeles so if the baby called that day, it did not leave a message. On Thursday afternoon the phone rang, once again nobody on the line, I hung up, it rang again, I was just getting ready to let that baby have it and then realized it was my boss on the phone!

So far this morning the baby has not called; it has probably moved on to redial another poor victim.

In other news, and I am not talking about the Super Bowl, First Federal soon will say “farewell” to its longtime Forks branch manager Traci Pederson so that she can pursue new career opportunities.

Traci began her employment with First Federal in October 1995 as a teller in the Forks branch. After working a short

time in that position (one week), she was promoted to the position of loan processor, where she continued working until August 1999.

Traci then left employment with First Federal to explore other opportunities. In July 2000 Traci was rehired by First Federal as a loan officer and loan processor. She continued working in that role until July 2006. At that time, Traci was promoted to the position of Forks branch manager where she has remained and thrived.

Feb. 13 at the Forks First Federal branch everyone is invited to celebrate Traci’s time with First Federal and wish her well in this new phase in her life and career. Come share memories and refreshments with Traci, her friends, family and First Federal customers.

Congratulations to Traci for not being afraid to make a change, change is good, I know this. Traci’s energy, creativity and great smile surely will be missed at the Forks branch of First Federal, but I know we are going to be seeing her around!

Forks Junior High January Students of the Month

The Student of the Month project is sponsored by Soroptimist International of the Olympic Rain Forest and Students of the Month are chosen by their peers and teachers.

The Soroptimist ladies “adopted” the Forks Junior High School to help provide positive rewards for students who consistently display respect and responsibility for their behavior and academic achievement and to help with communication between the school and parents via a monthly newsletter published by SIORF and FJHS. SAM FERGUSON is the son of Jeff Ferguson and he is in Mrs. Decker’s seventh-grade block class. Sam was chosen by his peers because he does what’s right and makes sure to follow the rules. Sam is awesome; he works hard and doesn’t mess around. He enjoys skateboarding and his favorite hobby is making music.

MYAH RONDEAU is the daughter of Jake and Shibahon Rondeau and she is in Mr. Wheeler’s seventh-grade block class. Myah is kind to others and does what she is supposed to do without being asked.

Maya was chosen by her peers because she does really good in school and always gets her work done on time.

Maya enjoys country music and she is very athletic and flexible. She enjoys playing sports.

MAX BUCKNER, son of Jessie and Sharon Buckner, is in Ms. Taylor’s eighth-grade block class. Max was chosen by his peers because he always does what he is supposed to do and he consistently helps people in need and treats others the way he would want to be treated.

Max enjoys camping and playing soccer and basketball and his hobbies include quilting and gardening.

MELISA GALINDO is the daughter of Guillermo Galindo and Maribel Hernandez and she is Ms. Taylor’s eighth-grade block. She was chosen by her peers because she is always helpful and friendly to her peers and she is polite. Melisa is always on task, gets her work in on time and you can count on her to be a good friend. She always does what is right. Melisa enjoys reading, hanging out with her friends and playing the flute. She also really likes drawing.

Congratulations to these​​Students of the Month!

They received a certificate and a $2​5​gift card to Barnes and Noble. Students were honored with their parents at a luncheon​​at school. Be sure to look for all of the Student of the Month pictures in the hall display case at FJHS.

Three basketball officials from the North Olympic Basketball Officials worked at the Southwest Regional basketball tournament for the Washington Special Olympics held Saturday in Silverdale.

Scott Remington of Port Townsend, Brad Archibald of Forks and Tom Leinart of Port Angeles worked the Level 5 division of the tournament which culminated in the championship game in which Shelton advanced to the State Special Olympics Basketball Tournament in Wenatchee, held at the end of February, by beating Sound Athletic of Tacoma 27-14. All three officials agree that it was an event worth working and are looking forward to going back next year.
