Budding tribal and rural entrepreneurs on the Washington coast will get a boost in developing small-scale sustainable businesses through a new competition funded in part by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The competition, Washington Coast Works, is being sponsored by The Nature Conservancy in partnership with the Center for Inclusive Entrepreneurship at Pinchot University (formerly Bainbridge Graduate Institute) and the Taala Fund. USDA has granted $74,600 through its Rural Business Opportunity Grants to help launch the competition.

The goal is to launch sustainable local businesses that will increase local employment and have positive social, ecological and economic impacts on their rural communities.

“We have a wealth of natural resources and the talent to develop new, sustainable ways to use them,” said Rod Fleck, Forks City attorney/planner. “This is a great opportunity for our community’s entrepreneurs to develop new businesses or improve existing ones.”

“The Olympic Peninsula is chock-full of budding entrepreneurs looking to improve their communities – the Sustainable Small Business Competition can help provide that extra nudge needed to help them take off,” said Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-6th District.

After an open application period, 10 semifinalists will be chosen to participate in an intensive business development training with the Center for Inclusive Entrepreneurship. From the 10 semi-finalists, winners will receive $10,000 in seed funding.

CIE will continue to work one-on-one with all 10 semi-finalists who complete the training, to help successfully launch their businesses, including assistance with business model development, accessing capital,

Lent Madness and St. Swithin By the Rev. Pam Hunter One of the great American church historians, Martin Marty, once described Christians as a “serious merry people.” If that is true for all Christians, it’s especially true for Episcopalians.

Think about the word “Lent” and ask yourself if you think of anything silly about that season of the church year.

You might even have gone out of your way to find a church that didn’t celebrate Lent because your associations with that season are ones of gloom in the gloomy, rainy time of year here in Forks.

Well … two Episcopal priests who loved March Madness (one lives within 200 miles of University of Connecticut … need I say more?) decided that the church could use a little madness during Lent.

So, they invented Lent Madness. Instead of basketball teams winning games and ascending to the great playoffs, they set saints up in competing brackets and, over the weeks of Lent, two saints ascend (yes, ascend!) to the top bracket where one will win the golden halo.

This year St. Swithin is in the running for the golden halo!

Did you know that our own St. Swithin’s Episcopal Mission is the only St. Swithin’s congregation in the United States? There are lots of them in England, one

or two in Canada, and a scattering of them where Anglicans had missions in rainy climates around the globe.

But, we not only have logging, fishing, Twilight, Mick Dodge and one of the most stunningly beautiful environments in the United States, we are uniquely gifted with a St. Swithin’s congregation that is living into the character of its namesake.

St. Swithin, born in 800 A.D., was a priest in England in the 9th century, who went on to be bishop of what we now know as Winchester Cathedral in England. He was a very humble man who never forgot or looked down on the poor.

When he gave a feast, he invited the poorer members of his parish to his house … not the wealthy or the powerful in the church. When a poor woman was roughed up on her way to market and her basket of eggs thrown to the ground and broken, Bishop Swithin restored her basket of eggs so that she could earn money to feed her family. The restoration of the basket of eggs is his first miracle!

When Swithin died, he asked to be buried with his people where the rain could fall on him and people could walk over his grave.

Well, 90 years later, when some young upstart of a bishop decided to expand the cathedral, he decided to have Swithin reburied in a special spot by the new altar.

As the workmen began to dig

up Swithin’s grave, it began to rain and continued raining for 40 days! He was, shall we say, mildly displeased that his wishes were being overturned … along with his grave!

From that time on it was said that “If it rains on St. Swithin’s day, it will rain for 40 days!” Since his Saint’s day is July 15, it might matter to us how we remember Swithin! Let it rain until the Fourth of July, but we want sun on the 5th and for sure on the 15th!

Our St. Swithin’s congregation makes sure that the people of LongTerm Care have a weekly worship service that includes communion. They do this on Sunday mornings when the people who can no longer live on their own would be accustomed to attending church. They are remembering and honoring the poor among us.

Well, we can do something fun for them. We can vote For St. Swithin’s on Feb. 21, on the Lent Madness website at www.lentmadness.org/2015/02/mondaymadness-february-9-2015/ and if he ascends to a higher level, vote each week that he remains in the running.

You can do this via e-mail or Facebook. If you really get into it, you also can buy a booklet with stories of all the saints being considered! If he wins, let’s have a party! Since it will be Easter season by then, of course on a rainy day!

Thank You

from Judy McClanahan

The McClanahan family would like to thank everyone for: Your many prayers, many cards, telephone calls, flowers, attending Larry’s Memorial Service, all of the offered help, the caterers and musicians, Pastor George Williams comforting message, hugs and joined tears, and those sending memorial gifts. As I looked back, I thought, “How on earth was I ever going to be able to thanks so many special caring people?”

So, I’ll begin: The first call I received, while still in Idaho, was from my neighbor! I had just prayed asking god to help me get Larry’s 4-wheeler, truck and trailer back to Forks. My neighbor said, “I am on my way to Pocatello to get Larry’s truck, 4-wheeler and trailer to bring back to Forks.” I told my neighbor I had just prayed and he was an answer to my prayer! My neighbor did not want to be an answer to my prayer, but our family will always consider him to be so, he just wanted to help.

Charlie and Danny Guffie drove to the hospital and were there when I arrived. They are relatives and hunting buddies. Larry’s brother Tom McClanahan and great-niece Shannon drove from Quilcene to Portland when Larry was air-lifted.

Scott Baysinger volunteered to build the frames and display Larry’s many hunting trophies at the memorial.

Joyce Pagac and Vern Hestand helped me put out all of the programs for Larry’s memorial and the “McClanahan Journal of Africa” that Larry wrote when we were missionaries in Liberia, West Africa.

Heidi and Pat Oberfranc, helped fill my two wood boxes.

A neighbor girl, Charis, brought me her dessert from dinner, a picture she had drawn, and her prayer to make me feel better.

My neighbor Francisco, brought his son Lorenzo with a very large bouquet of flowers with a bible verse Jeremiah 29:11-14 written on a card which I needed at that time.

I heard that a lot of churches were praying for us-Thank You!!

The Quillayute Valley School, Bill Henderson and Jessi Wilson in particular, did everything to be able to make the memorial service nice and comfortable for everyone.

A lumber customer from Whidbey Island, not a Christian, began reading his bible to honor his friend Larry. I really cried and rejoiced, because Larry really loved this man!

My brother Greg, came all the way from Florida to surprise us and honor Larry.

“Wounded Warrior” Ed Ostlund, our sawyer for 33 years, has carried the responsibilities of the mill while being ill and injured since October.

We are operating the sawmill!!

Other SPECIAL people are: Russell and Marge Snell, The Ray Winneys, Joe Winneys, Curtis and Judy Winney, All logging friends, milling friends, boat building friends and hunting buddies (Rick and Deidre Cahill), school friend, David Lee, bible School friends and fellow missionaries.

A special friend, Ted Spoelstra, not only was Larry’s boss when Larry worked for Spoelstra Bros as a busheler, but was a Special Friday Lunch Friend.

Larry’s best friend, from 1970 to the present has been Brent Gagnon. They had a saying between one another - “Remember Minnie!” Tell Brent “Remember Minnie!”

I had knee surgery on December 23 and have had time to think of all that has happened since October 21. So, I’m concluding with a statement Larry’s son wrote to the paper on October 29, some may not have seen it.

“As most of you know, Larry McClanahan was in a serious ATV accident October 21 while hunting in Idaho.

His discovery and rescue were nothing short of miraculous - and we’ve all been praying that here would be the miraculous intervention for healing his injuries.

However, contrary to initial medical prognosis in Idaho, the OHSU Trauma Center in Portland has confirmed that Larry is paralyzed, will never have use of his limbs, and will permanently need assistance breathing and feeding.

Larry has clearly communicated to each of his immediate family and to medical staff that he does not want to be artificially sustained and we will be honoring his wishes.

While we are deeply saddened by this turn of events, the family thanks you for your prayers. It has meant a great deal to us. We take heart in the fact of Larry’s faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and that we will see him again on the other side. It would bring Larry great joy if, through this tragic situation, God somehow uses his life and example to challenge others and draw them to Christ.”

THE REAL FORKS Where have all the macaroni necklaces gone?

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford Back when I was a kid, I really hated when old people started sentences with “Back when I was a kid.” Now that I’m old, I start at least 66.67 percent of my sentences with this phrase and I don’t care what you young whippersnappers think. Get over it. And get off my lawn, too.

Also back when I was a kid, schoolwork was not complicated … especially not in the first grade. When learning shapes, little Suzy First Grader might have been shown a shape and then asked if it was a triangle or not. Suzy First Grader would have answered yes or no and the class would have moved along to a lovely snack of paste and macaroni necklaces.

Those days are gone. Macaroni necklaces are no longer made (or eaten) and everything is so unsimple. Unsimple is not a word in case you were wondering.

It should be though because it is the only word to describe today’s education system. It is not enough to know your shapes in first grade. Now, you have to know HOW you know the shapes are the shapes that you think they are. Sound complicated? It is.

You may think I am exaggerating this complicatedness, but I am not. The following questions were on my first-grader’s homework: “Part 1, is this a triangle? Part 2, how do you know this is/isn’t a triangle?”

My daughter (being my daughter) gave the following answer, “I know it is not a triangle because it is not a triangle.” My immediate reaction; “She totally nailed that one!” Sadly, her answer was much too simple. First grade is not the time for simpletons.

This question was looking for something a little more philosophical. The correct answer would have been more like, “Well, according to my calculations (and I think Einstein would agree here), the theory of relativity is strong with 3.14 equaling apple pie and the diameter of the triangular equation equaling the plane of the x-axis intersection with the y-axis.

Working backwards to prove my work, anti-gravity mass is the direct cause of Newton’s Law, which proves that Murphy’s Law is always the opposite of a triangle.”

Before you think I’m making a mockery of my daughter’s schoolwork, rest assured that I kind of am. However, it is also important to note that I fully admit that my daughter knows 3.2 million more things than I did when I was her age. Actually, she probably knows 3.2 million more things than I do currently. She has most likely already outsmarted me. It’s totally fine.

The truth is that my daughter is learning a lot from this confusing, weird, new-fangled, education system. So maybe … this new education system … is kind of … OK. But I refuse to say that on record. Wait, is this “on record”?

If you need a math tutor, e-mail me at christyrasmussen@ yahoo.com. I’m very good at math, especially the higher levels. Obviously.

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.

The Westernmost Newspaper in the Continental U.S.

Commentary

‘I’ll do it!’

A few weeks ago I was visiting with Chiggers Stokes and it hit me, in a way, it was either his fault or to his credit that I am currently the editor of the Forks Forum. Not wanting to take credit or blame he brushed it off, but really it is his fault/ credit, and here is why.

It was Valentine’s Day 2008, a Thursday evening and Forks Community Orchestra practice, after playing music for a while Chiggers said he had a question for the group. He explained that he had been writing the Peninsula Daily News West End Neighbor column for some time, after taking over for Sue Zalokar, also a Forkestra member, and he wanted to pursue other writing opportunities and would anyone in the room like to take over the duties. It was two columns a month, 600 words.

A silence fell over the group and then for some unknown reason, I raised my hand and said, “I’ll do it!”

Now keep in mind I had never written anything, well unless you take in to consideration a grocery list I had written the day before and it was not written very well. I couldn’t decipher some of the very important items I had written in my own handwriting.

My abbreviation of “cotton balls” caused quite a stir when I asked several other shoppers if they could guess what the words were.

So began my “writing career.” My first story was about Sully’s 50th anniversary in business. There was a little snafu when the PDN couldn’t open my document and it had to be faxed to them and retyped and one of the Sullivan daughters’ names was left out of the story.

I think they have forgiven me?

Anyway, the date was Feb. 19, 2008, when that first column appeared.

As time went on I kept writing all the while certain I was going to get a call any Tuesday my column came out and hear the words, “Well, it has been fun but we need to find someone that can really write.” But, they never did! They let me keep going!

Then one day a man called my boss and told him that I was lying about an experience that was my own that I had written about in my column.

He wanted me to take it back.

I said I can’t take it back, it happened to me, I didn’t make it up.

That whole experience made me sick to my stomach, I

thought about quitting “writing” or what was my version of writing.

Because really I am no Brian Williams I have never been at the Berlin Wall or claimed to have been or never been shot at, that I know of. Although I was injured one time in “The Great Evergreen Loop Bracken Fern Fight of 1968” where I nearly lost an eye when a neighbor boy chucked a fern spear at me and it hit the side of my head! And I am not making that up.

So my writing on the side continued and I had a couple of career changes and then in October 2013 the job of editor here at the Forks Forum came open as a full-time position.

Again I said, “I’ll do it!”

So, in the scheme of things, if Chiggers had never bowed out of the West End Neighbor column, I never would have been a candidate for this position. So, thanks Chiggers, and I have to thank John Brewer, at the PDN, for allowing me to start this new career.

Forks found themselves in a familiar position at the conclusion of the 1A regional wrestling tournament on Saturday.

They were ceremoniously mugging for their traditional tournament champion team photo.

That glory-soaked destination is certainly well worn ground for Forks, but the route and navigation were different than in the past. Forks took the team regional title with a score of 209.5 and needed every last effort as they managed to top the 206 team points of Castle Rock.

In total 11 Spartans qualified for next week’s championship tournament, including six firsttime qualifiers for the Mat Classic in the Tacoma Dome.

Spartans Dimitri Sampson, Joel Mohn, Tristan Tumaua, Reece Moody and Johnny Lua all punched their inaugural tickets to the state championship in Tacoma. Joining their first-timer teammates at the big singlet sashay will be experienced Spartans Sebastian Morales, Alvaro Ortiz, Garrison Schumack, Javier Contreras, Jack Dahlgren and Miguel Morales.

Forks’ Alan Ensastegui placed fifth at 120 pounds and will be an alternate at the state tournament.

“I was really surprised,” said Forks coach Robert Wheeler.

“Those kids you mentioned,” he said in reference to his first-

time qualifiers, “that was huge.

I mean we won by three points.

Without that we don’t even come close to this,” regional championship.

Wheeler doubled down on his praise of Lua and Mohn, saying, “I’m very pleased with my 52’s.”

Both of those Spartan wrestlers reside in the 152-pound classification and both came into the tournament without a lot of expectations and minimal postseason experience to boot.

Despite those preambles, Mohn and Lua battled all day on their

way to place second and fourth, respectively.

The most dramatic match of the evening came in the 182-pound title match between Forks’ Jack Dahlgren and Castle Rock’s Austin Darvell. Forks had the points lead in a strongman’s chokehold throughout the first two rounds of action but a relentless barrage of Castle Rock’s red wrestlers made a hell bent run at the regional team championship in the trophy rounds. Coming down to the wire, Forks clearly needed every point they could muster in order to clinch the team trophy.

Dahlgren claimed victory by a score of 4-3.

Sebastian Morales also claimed a regional title, his coming at 113 pounds, with a 9-5 victory over Tony Williams of Montesano.

The rest of the title matches were not as kind to Forks as Garrison Schumack fell 13-7 at 132 pounds, Javier Contreras lost via injury default at 145 pounds, Mohn was pinned at 152 pounds, and Dimitri Sampson lost a macho man’s duel with Tal’ib Meeks of Castle Rock at 195 pounds when he wound up on the wrong end of a pin after holding a 4-2 lead with just 1:11 left in the match.

The 285 pound/heavyweight class held better results for Forks though as the Spartans provided both title match participants. Familiar foes Miguel

Morales and Tristan Tumaua sparred for the tournament championship for the second straight week, where Morales ultimately claimed victory over his teammate. Still, all of the points went to Forks which was just enough to seal the team points championship.

“We have four guys who have a legitimate chance of getting into the (state) finals,” said Wheeler, who noted the Spartans should post strong team numbers as well. Last year the Spartans took second in state as a team.

Some untimely injuries may derail a few of those championship bids. In addition to the usual strains, pulls and dislocations that all wrestlers experience at the end of a long season, Contreras and Schumack both aggravated fairly serious rib injuries during Saturday’s competition.

For his part, Morales was employing the cautious wait and see mode as well when it came to anticipating results from the 27th annual Mat Classic.

“I don’t really feel anything yet, until I’ve got that (state) title in my hands,” explained Morales. “Stuff happens at state.

It’s a whole new ballpark.”

Forks will compete in the Mat Classic state wrestling championships at the Tacoma Dome next Friday and Saturday, Feb. 20-21.

History from the pages of the Forks Forum Feb. 22, 1951 Fire destroys school building and contents The old Forks Grade School building, erected in 1914, was destroyed by fire early Tuesday morning and the blaze aided by strong southeast wind threatened adjoining buildings and even the business district and several residences.

Seven trucks equipped with firefighting equipment were used by volunteers and others to battle the blaze. The volunteer firemen assisted by residents of the community put up a valiant fight and succeeded in their efforts to confine the blaze to the old grade school.

However, the firefighters said, “The storm sewers saved our bacon.” Two trucks pumped from the storm sewer which assisted greatly with the inadequate water in the mains for such a large fire.

The men believe that this additional water was the only thing that saved adjoining buildings. The storm sewer were built here in 1946 by the Town of Forks and was so

constructed that water could be pumped from it in case of fire.

Meanwhile 90 to 100 children are without classroom facilities and the lunch room which served all three schools.

FOFA Senior Pet Support Project When taking on a pet, at any time in your life, consideration should be given to where the pet would go if something happened and you could no longer properly take care of that pet.

There are many ways to make provisions for a pet to be taken care of in that event.

Family, friends or rescue organizations are all good possibilities. Families are of course one of the best options but not everyone has family

nearby or willing to help. So, talking to friends or leaving written requests always is a good plan. Planning financially for the care of your beloved pet is another thing to consider.

Over the years Friends of Forks Animals have taken in or helped with older dogs and cats either by assisting to find homes for them with rescues, friends or sometimes themselves. Adopting an older cat or dog can be very rewarding.

They are long past the puppy stage and just want to live out their lives.

During the last couple of months Friends have helped with senior cats that had nowhere to go after their owner moved into a different living arrangement. These cats also needed some medical care to help make them adoptable. Dr. Pat Dowell and her clinic have been generous to provide assistance to these cats.

The Friends are currently seeing more animals that are simply abandoned and need help with placements, too.

Most times FOFA is able to help find some resolution, however what help can be

offered sometimes depends on rescue facilities and/or finding responsible homes.

The Friends want to be able to help seniors with their senior pets. So, with that thought in mind, a new program called “Senior Pet Support Project” has been created.

It was decided at the club’s February meeting to donate that month’s Thriftway receipts to the care and expense of the cats that have been taken in to provide medical care for. Also, it will help future animals.

Oftentimes senior citizens need help with food, medical care and other necessities for their pets, but they do not want to ask. Senior citizens need to know FOFA is ready to help.

Anyone needing support can call 374-3332.

Helping Friends of Forks Animals with funding for this project can be as easy as sav-

The drop off location for receipts is The Forks Coffee Shop. Also, they can be mailed to FOFA, P.O. Box 2022, Forks. Or cash donations always are accepted.

This past year the Friends spayed and neutered over 300 animals and placed 89 cats in rescues, 20 dogs to rescues, and provided 82 medical treatments to animals. Also, 40 dogs were flea treated at LaPush, 30 dewormed and 12 vaccinated.

Thousands of pounds of pet food was supplied to animals on the West End of Clallam County.

Friends is currently in need of a clothes dryer. If you have one you would like to donate or sell at a reasonable price, call 374-9825. FOFA meets the first Wednesday of the month at 11 a.m. at the Forks Library.

There is a separate insurance policy on the equipment and other supplies.

In the old grade school building were four classrooms and a cafeteria. It will be impossible for the school to serve hot lunches for the remainder of the school year. Parents are advised to send lunches to school with their children.

A hero saves the Dragon Dance

By Donna Barr Everyone agreed Aurora was “The best dragon ever” at the Clallam Bay Dragon Dance and Valentine’s Day Potluck, held on a beautiful sunny Saturday, Feb. 14.

The actual eastern New Year — this year is the Green, or Wood, Ram — was celebrated Feb. 14 this year, but combining the dance with chocolate seemed like a pretty good idea. The addition of Loose Gravel, the West End’s favorite sprightly bluegrass band, just made it all the better.

Among the people wearing fine Asian regalia and dresses was Thu Tran, wearing a Vietnamese celebratory dress and red-flower headdress. When tiny Alexis Rendon first saw the dragon dancers making themselves beautiful outside CB Property, she asked her grandmother, Kim Sutton, what was going on.

Sutton told her there was going to be a parade, and the little one asked if she could get permission from the dragon dancers to join in. Of course, nobody needs permission — everybody’s welcome — and Sutton readily gave Alexis her permission to participate with her dad, Manuel Rendon.

The Clallam Bay Dragon Dance heads out to the Valentine’s Day potluck, Clallam Bay, Saturday, Feb. 14. Photo by Donna Barr

Alexis more than just attended the parade. The dragon, named Aurora — 30 feet of fringed red plastic, led by a great red-and-gold papier mache head — was short of bones. Literally legless. Not enough people had showed up to carry the dragon along the parade route from the Weel Road Deli parking lot, at the east end of town, to the Three Sisters of Clallam Art Gallery at the west end.

But Alexis’s dad came to the rescue. Donning the nodding beaked head, with its glitter and gold tinsel, its symbolic

red-painted antlers, Rendon readied Aurora to dance through town. At this point, teenagers and children ducked under the dragon, giving it legs and a backbone. It began to prance and paw, practically snorting, readying itself for its performance.

Alexis slipped into the safe place behind her dad and with her came several other children. Since they couldn’t reach up far enough to help carry the backbone, they were named the dragon’s heart.

Off Aurora and her friends went, first dancing through

the Weel Road Deli, making happy noises and crying out good wishes for the year.

Then it was down the road, traffic spotters ringing bells and drumming and clacking noise-makers. More people showed up along the parade route than ever before. People driving by slowed down and honked and waved, happy to see the parade. People know Aurora now.

The dragon and its colorful entourage visited the ladies having a Valentine’s Day breakfast in the Presbyterian Church, wishing them good

Mystery coin

Heads and tails of the coin.

by Christi Baron

By Christi Baron A man walks in to a bar with a newspaper… or is it a man walks into a newspaper office with an unusual coin? In this case it was the Forks Forum office last week and the man was Cliff Currington who was in the possession of an aluminum coin. The coin was in a box of items purchased at a garage sale in another Washington city.

He wanted to know if I had any knowledge of what the coin might be.

Since it was stamped Smokehouse, we both wondered if it was a promotion for the now closed Smokehouse restaurant, or maybe Slather’s smoked

fortune and happiness in the new year.

Then it was on to the Clallam Bay Library, Unique Junque, the Sunsets West Co-op, Thu’s beauty parlor, and finally, the Three Sisters gallery. The dragon turned back into people, and everybody thanked the Rendons for making it happen. Then the festivities began, with music, food and even quick walks to the beach, on a beautiful sunny day.

In traditional Chinese belief, a dragon reigns over each body of water, from small stream to great ocean. This may be based on dinosaur bones being discovered in ancient river courses, before anyone knew what dinosaurs were. Today the dragon represents good fortune, health and happiness for the coming year. Anybody, of any belief or non-belief, can celebrate with the dragon.

When the Clallam Bay Dragon Dances began, they ran into rain, the plastic body of the dragon helping her to tough out the weather. But as the years go on, the weather gets nicer and nicer for the dragon dance.

Perhaps Clallam Bay is making the dragons happy? One of them is certainly making Clallam Bay happy.

salmon shop? It also had T.M. Bru stamped on the coin. I told him I would see what I could find out.

It took just a few minutes on Saturday to find some similar coins on the Internet of lesser value, but with the same T.M.

Bru name on them. After researching Mr. Bru, I found that in 1935 he was the owner of an establishment in Forks called “The Smoke Shop.” The Smoke Shop was built in 1934 and was a tavern. So the coin must have been some type of

promotion for the bar?

The Smoke Shop later became Alice’s, then Anderson Electric, Tinkers Tales and just recently a business called Chalma has opened there.

Mr. Bru sold the Smoke Shop in 1939 and later moved to

Tacoma where he died in 1960, his wife was named Della and they had a son named Edward.

If any reader knows/remembers the aluminum trade coins and remembers the purpose they served it would be fun to know.
