The State of Washington granted a perfect score to Forks Community Hospital after conducting a room by room inspection of the entire hospital.

In addition, they also reviewed records for fire drills, fire sprinkler system maintenance and fire alarm system testing and operations.

A perfect score on this department of health survey, which is performed by the state Fire Marshal, is highly unusual although not unusual for our local hospital.

The hospital has received this award on several occasions which speaks highly of the professionalism and dedication of the facilities department to patient life safety.

Forks Hospital CEO David Selman told the group, “Perfection doesn’t exist in Healthcare, but excellence does.”

Judge Rules on Quileute Offshore Fishing Grounds

in the Pacific Ocean, as well as the northern boundary of the Quileute’s treaty fishing grounds.

Treaty fishing boundaries are determined based upon where a tribe customarily fished at and before treaty times (the 1850s). Evidence drawn from linguistics, archaeology, marine biology and anthropology was presented at trial to prove where the Quileute fished at and before treaty times.

The ruling was greeted with tears of joy by Quileute tribal members and elders on the reservation at LaPush, Washington. The fear of even the chance of losing their heritage cut deep into the hearts of members of the tribe.

The Tribal Council reacted with pride that their traditions were

recognized and upheld. “We were prepared to see this through the end because we knew what was right.”

The court heard testimony from 11 witnesses and reviewed hundreds of trial exhibits.

The Quileute Tribe was represented by Lauren King and Jake Larson of the Foster Pepper Litigation & Dispute Resolution practice, along with co-counsel John Tondini of Byrnes Keller Cromwell LLP. Lauren King commented: “We were proud and humbled to represent the ancestors, the members and the generations yet to come of the Quileute Tribe to help ensure that they can continue their connection to the ocean. This is an important win for all tribes’ treaty rights.”

of Olympia. It is unfortunate that our Native people continue to have to justify where we came from and what our traditional practices have been for time immemorial. We have a great appreciation for our ancestors and their efforts in ensuring the sustainability of our tribe. Not only does this ruling reassure our fishing rights, but allows us to continue in monitoring and maintaining our resources for generations to come.”

In 2009, the Makah Indian Tribe sued the Quileute Tribe and the Quinault Indian Nation in United States v. Washington, seeking to dramatically cut back the areas in the ocean in which the Quileute and Quinault could fish. At stake were the western boundaries for the Quileute and Quinault

On July 9, Judge Ricardo S. Martinez of the U.S. District Court of the Western District of Washington recognized the important maritime heritage of the Quileute people when he announced his ruling in favor of the Quileute Tribe after a lengthy 23-day bench trial that ended in April.

After considering the issues and reviewing the evidence, the court issued a detailed and fact-based ruling that allows the Quileute to continue to enjoy their traditional connection to the ocean.

Quileute Chairwoman Naomi Jacobson shared, “Quileute is celebrating the ruling of Judge Martinez. We are pleased to know that the court recognizes our inherent rights in accordance to the promises made in the Treaty

Dear Editor, I was appalled and embarrassed by the proliferation of Confederate flags in our Fourth of July parade. It is hard to believe that the people flying this symbol of oppression and slavery from their vehicles did not know what they were doing given the prominence of reporting on the tragic situation in South Carolina and the subsequent debate over this flag.

Even the states of the South are reconsidering the wisdom of promoting this symbol.

Since I have lived in the Forks area, I have understood the “oldfashioned” in our celebration to reflect old-fashioned values like love and inclusion. Was I wrong?

Do we not value and respect our African-American neighbors?

I saw many African-American visitors to our town. What must they think? All of our visitors — I do not want my town to present this face to the world.

It also disturbed me to see the Confederate flag on the same vehicle as our “Grand Old Flag.”

Thousands of people died to keep our flag flying over the former Confederate states.

It is an insult to them over 150 years later to hang onto this symbol.

I am writing because I have to do something about this, if only to speak out. I made as much noise as I could at the parade as these vehicles passed (being an old lady with usually a quiet voice.) And I paid attention to the businesses sponsoring these cars and I will not trade with them again.

There is a saying that the only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.

I do not believe this is a small thing. Taking the values represented by the Confederate flag to their logical conclusion can result in a tragedy such as happened in Charleston.

Sincerely, Marjorie Curci, Michael Gurling, Signa Borkenhagen, and Wilma Weddington.

Create our own Flag!

Dear Editor, I love this town. We’re in a beautiful spot, and we’re good people – tough, independent and caring. Unfortunately, some of that independent spirit appears in the symbolism of the confederate flag, which was

This is not good. The right to enslave others does not equate with the desire to be independent and left alone. So here’s what I’m thinking: Let’s get some organization or some church or some merchants here in town to sponsor a flag designing contest, so we have our own flag and we don’t have to use somebody else’s.

It could say something like, “Forks, Where the World Begins,” or “We Live Here Because You Don’t” or “Don’t Tread on Us, and Don’t Step in That,” or “We Love Each Other. You, Not So Much,” or “Trees Before Twilight.”

Fine, if you can do better, go for it. I think you should, but please … let’s don’t use a flag that speaks to lynching, beating and denial of humanity to represent the spirit of this place, us as its proud residents, and our time in history.

Two suspects cited in illegal Calawah river dumping incident

Fire Department rating may lower insurance rates

Chief Bill Paul is pleased to announce that Clallam County Fire Protection District #1 (CCFPD1) recently had an evaluation of the district’s fire protection capabilities. The evaluation assigns a value to “Protection Classification” which is used by insurance companies in setting rates for homeowner’s/property insurance policies.

The evaluation is a series of standards used nationally, including the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The evaluation criteria are approved by the Washington State Office of Insurance Commissioner.

The evaluation is completed by a staff member from the Washington Survey and Ratings Bureau (WSRB). WSB assign each community a Protection Classes of 1 through 10, where 1 indicates exemplary fire protection capabilities. For communities such are ours in CCFPD1, the highest likely rating is a 6. We have been able to maintain a rating of six within the City of Forks for quite some time. Until this most recent evaluation, the portions of the district outside of the City of Forks have been at

a rating 8. The new rating is at a 6 for all properties within the fire district.

The evaluation reviews four areas: Water supply, Fire Department, Emergency Communications, and Fire Safety Control. The area that CCFPD is responsible for is the “Fire Department” criteria.

This section is 40 percent of the final Protection Class rating. The elements assessed include the equipment, capacity, maintenance, training and response times.

Residents living outside the city limits of Forks may want to contact their insurance carrier to see if the new rating may reduce your insurance rate.

The full report is available upon request by submitting a request by email: admin@ clallamfire1.org, or mail the request to PO Box 118, Forks, WA. CCFPD1 is a local government entity with five elected fire commissioners. The members of the district are all volunteers. The district only responds to fires; however we do dispatch assistance, upon request, under mutual aid to other emergency responses in our community.

Firewood Raffle The winner of the West End Youth League firewood raffle was Dora Price. The raffle was used as an alternate fundraiser when WEYL decided not to hold its regular fireworks sale due to the dry conditions this Fourth of July.

“Thanks to prompt reporting of the incident by Mark Henry and the help of Quileute Natural Resources, Clallam County Chain Gang, and everyone else who was willing to help, approximately 2000 pounds of debris was promptly removed from the Calawah River” said Dean Millett, Pacific Ranger District Ranger, in an update shared on the “What’s Really Happening in Forks” Facebook page. The huge illegal dump in the South Fork of the Calawah took place July 1.

Millett went on to say that with evidence recovered at the scene, Forest Service Law Enforcement was able to identify two out of town suspects. They have both been cited and have mandatory court appearances for the violations committed.

Millett said the two suspects will most likely appear in Federal Court in Tacoma some time soon, the names of the suspects were requested by the “Forks Forum” but not shared by Millett.

FLOOR & HOME

THE REAL FORKS Much Ado About Mutton

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford A few weeks ago, my co-workers and I were swapping stories of being pulled over for various traffic violations. My co-worker (whose name is not Sara and who is not a hostess) started her story with, “Once my brother and I were in the back of my dad’s truck holding onto our sheep … ” *Alex, I’ll take ‘Story Starters That I Never Thought I’d Hear’ for 1,000, please.* Wait, wait, wait … Back that farm truck up a minute. Where in the flock do people go around hauling their children and sheep around in the back of their truck? Well, as it turns out, this happens in Idaho regularly.

Apparently, sheep are transported in the back of trucks with children hanging onto them for dear livestock. Contrary to what the nursery rhyme tells us, if you leave sheep alone, they don’t come home. They actually fall out the back of the truck.

Anyway, I’m sure that Sara’s story of being pulled over while holding onto sheep was an intriguing one. Most likely it was complete with tickets written based on the shear illegality of ovine-holding techniques, a short stint with her family on the lamb because the cops were totally fleecing them and just all around baaaaaaad luck with the law. Ewe know how those things go.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to hear the rest of the story because I am not mature enough to continue listening (like a respectful adult) when I hear something like, “ … in the back of the truck holding onto our sheep.” Once the jokes started, they never ended.

I’m fairly certain that most people would have joked after hearing this kind of thing, but I’m probably the last person you should tell a story like this to. I laughed for weeks. I was not sheepish about teasing her at all. Thankfully, she was a good sport about the wool thing.

Eventually, when the jokes started to get old (they’re still not completely dead … obviously), I came to a realization. I said to myself, “Hold up there Little Miss High Horse (not to be confused with Little Miss Bo Peep, Sara). What are you bleating around about? Are you really that much better than her?”

No. The truth is that I am not.

I can start at least three stories with, “Once, when I tried to ride a cow … ” And I was mostly sober for two of those stories, so I can’t even pull the “that was just the alcohol pulling the wool over my eyes.” Also, my first job was catching snakes for my grandparents for $1/snake, I once milked a goat in high heels, and the highlight of my weekend as a teenager was doing nothing but driving back and forth between the 76 gas station and Thriftway in Forks. Clearly, with my equally country-bumpkin-ish past, I have absolutely no business making fun of Sara.

However, I’m going to make fun of her anyway because … who starts a story like that??!!

I love ewe Sara.

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.

The Westernmost Newspaper in the Continental U.S.

An evening at City Council It was a fairly full house at Monday night’s City Council meeting.

Many came in support of Darrel Gaydeski, who has a plan for a business that he says may bring 50 jobs to the community. Gaydeski is hoping to rent the former Interfor mill for a cannabis growing operation.

Before the meeting got started Gaydeski handed out an e-mail, dated July 9, he had sent to the mayor requesting that he be placed on the agenda for an upcoming council meeting (July 13). He also supplied those in attendance with a letter from Interfor responding to his desire to rent the former mill facility at the Forks Industrial Park.

The letter stated that the company would be willing to terminate their lease with the City in order to enable another party to be able to lease the warehouse directly from the City.

When the meeting got underway Councilwoman Juanita Weissenfels told Mayor Bryon Monohon that she is getting questions from the community regarding Gaydeski’s plan and could it be discussed. The Mayor said he would forward Gaydeski’s request to City attorney Rod Fleck. Fleck was not in attendance.

The public comment period got underway and Gaydeski was asked if he would like five minutes. He declined at that time, and others went on to speak.

Forks Chamber Director Lissy Andros shared that the visitor center had 5,000 visitors in June.

It was more than the number had last June. She also said the Chamber was sponsoring a movie night Thursday night at the RAC. Next Mark Soderlind, Fourth of July President, reported on the Fourth and float activities. He shared several recent awards and a ribbon won last weekend at Clallam Bay/Sekiu Fundays, where they took first place, he admitted that they were the only float.

Soderlind said the Fourth took in $34,000 and spent $38,000 “just like true government” they spent more than they took in! He also spoke about the new food booth that cost the Fourth committee $8,000 and that most of the work was done by volunteers. He said the float will make an appearance

in LA (LaPush) this weekend for Quileute Days.

Gaydeski then requested 5 minutes to speak. He asked why he was not allowed to be on the agenda. He told the council members he is trying to promote growth and jobs, and could not figure out why nobody was interested.

Gaydeski said, “I realize this is a gray area,and may not even work, but why don’t we look into it?”

He went on to say it could bring valid jobs to the community. He stated that the buildings were all being demolished. (See photo page 10 regarding the demolition of some of the property.)

When Gaydeski was finished, Bob Stark, owner of True Value in Forks, spoke in support of Gaydeski. Stark said, “There are two sides to every story and always one loser.” Stark asked if the City can afford to lose the money if Interfor vacates the lease. He mentioned issues that may exist with federal money having been used in the Industrial Park project and those strings may have a negative impact on the city receiving future federal grants, due to the fact marijuana is not legal at the federal level.

Stark used the Forks airport and West End Thunder as an example of when the Feds said no and the City found a way to work it out.

He equated the grow operation as a life raft for the town, “Logging is losing, and we are drowning.”

“Are we afraid of being known as the marijuana town? Because now we are the salal town, but nobody calls us that” he added.

Jaymi Goetze also commented that her family has lost jobs with the mill closing and she is in support of the city looking in to Gaydeski’s plan.

“There is no reason this shouldn’t be looked into,” she said.

Ruth Kettel said she was opposed to the idea. “We have a lot of drugs in our community already,” Kettel said.

Jerry King also spoke in favor of at least letting the idea be brought up to the public.

Ed Ansor and Andrew Hoschar

both spoke in favor of discussing the idea. Ansor said, “It is disturbing that we cannot have this discussion.”

Mayor Monohon then said these issues are usually not discussed in a public forum, and that legal council will be talking to Gaydeski’s attorney.

It was also announced that councilman Kevin Hinchen has moved out of the city limits and a process will start soon to fill his position.

Hinchen was thanked for his time on the council.

Another item of interest was reported by Dave Zellar, that the city well has dropped another four feet and is at August levels already. The city has another well not currently being used that has promise and may come in to play if things get worse.

After department and council member reports the mayor thanked the community for taking the lack of fireworks for the Fourth in stride. The meeting adjourned just before 9 p.m.

FIRST ANNIVERSARY BIRTHDAY BASH FOR ARTS GROUP

by Sally Milici The Rainforest Council for the Arts will celebrate the first anniversary of its inception at a general meeting and birthday party at the Forks Library at noon Saturday, July 18. Cake and ice cream will be served.

The Rainforest Council for the Arts was formed to be coordinators for arts events that can be offered to the public in the West End. So far the group has co-sponsored the grand opening of the new Rainforest Arts Center; supported, volunteered and assisted with a community concert, art exhibits and demonstrations, an open mic and a dance.

Entry to all events are by donation, whether a little bit, a generous donation or nothing at all. RCA is determined to serve a cross section of the community. It’s what each one can afford, so no one is excluded, a priority for the group.

Future plans include being involved in and contributing to the community festivities of Hickory Shirt/Heritage Days and continuing to offer happenings in the fields of music, dancing, painting and fiber arts, and sponsoring the Writer’s

Group and Fun-A-Day. The Rainforest Council of the Arts wishes to thank the public for the very generous donations that have enabled it to meet its goals in providing quality events affordable to everyone.

The public is welcome to attend the general meeting July 18 to celebrate The council’s successes and to join the RCA in promoting the arts in the community.

Horseshoe Tournament Results

By Wade McCoy The Forks Old-Fashioned Fourth Horseshoe Tournament was held at 9 a.m. July 5 at Tillicum Park in Forks.

High temperatures were forecast which might have kept a few players from attending as we had just 36 doubles teams sign up this year.

Many new players gave it a try and as usual there were a lot of familiar faces in the draw, including the three-time defending champions Steve Kilmer and Floyd McCoy, who had a good showing by

placing fifth.

The winners bracket had a lot of highly competitive matches which saw the 2006 championship team of Troy Pearce and Wade McCoy emerge unscathed awaiting the final match.

In the losers bracket there were many good teams fighting some tough battles trying to earn a shot at Pearce and McCoy. After starting with two wins and a loss, the team of Mike Gilstrap and Ryan Seiler fired off five consecutive wins in the losers bracket to give

themselves a shot in the final match.

The championship match, however, saw them run out of steam as Pearce and McCoy jumped out to a quick 17-0 lead after four ends before posting a final score of 21-3.

Pearce and McCoy took the top prize of $180 and celebrated their second championship by jumping into the Sol Duc River to cool off.

Many thanks go to everyone who assisted in running the tournament as well as Crown Distributing which donated many Budweiser shirts, cozies

Sack Tournament benefits Make A Wish

Mike Hirsch started the sacks tournament six years ago. It’s a game he loves to play, so he thought it would be a great Fourth of July event. He has always given half the entrance fee to Make A Wish or Relay For Life and the other half goes to the first, second and third place winners. Of the six years, Mike has won four times, all with different partners.

The great thing about Mike winning is that he and his partner give the first place winnings to Make A Wish too! This year with half the entrance fee and the $400 for first place he was able to send a check to Make A Wish for $1,000.

Make A Wish is dear to Mike’s heart because it was 20 years ago when he was going through cancer treatments at Swedish Hospital that he got his Make A Wish wish granted!

He wanted to meet Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton and went with his whole family to

the All Star game in Phoenix, Ariz. He was able to have a picture taken with almost all the NBA players that were there! Gary Payton stayed in touch with Mike for a year after, having him and us go to his games at Key Arena whenever possible between chemo treatments. Gary even game Mike his home phone to call him whenever!

This years winners were first place Mike Hirsch and Ty Leppell, second place Dan Trickey and Rick Gooding, and third place was Mark Raben and Colton Raben.

Duane “Buck” Merrick grew up in Forks and for the past 38 years he has worked as a UPS driver. Merrick, who is 61, has a stellar driving record but on Tuesday, June 30, at around 4:30 p.m. a Whatcom County deputy noticed Merrick’s UPS truck weaving back and forth across the centerline. The truck then hit a curb and almost crashed head-on into an oncoming car in Bellingham’s busy Marina district.

Merrick was suffering a medical emergency.

The deputy, Colin Bertrand, sped up alongside the truck and saw Merrick slumped over the steering wheel.

When Merrick’s foot slipped a bit off the gas pedal, Bertrand passed the truck and blocked its path with his vehicle, ultimately stopping the truck.

Bertrand then jumped out of his vehicle and gave medical aid to Merrick, who was taken to the hospital where it was discovered he had suffered a stroke.

It is reported by family members in Forks that “Buck” is making a 100-percent recovery thanks to the fast actions of the deputy.

The deputy’s quick thinking most likely helped prevent what could have been a very tragic event.

Forks

An excavator works to dismantle several structures at the former Interfor site at the Forks Industrial Park this last week. The property being demolished was on a list of purchased assets that Interfor purchased from PorTac. Under the terms of their lease, Interfor can remove and modify the facility. There are elements of the facility that no longer comport with applicable permits (boiler for example) once that is no longer in operation. They lose their status as being grandfathered in. Some of the installed equipment has exceeded its useful life. Prior to Interfor’s recent auction, the City of Forks had discussions with Interfor, as well as outside legal counsel, regarding the personal property and industry property that Interfor had sold to be auctioned.

Beach Combing Museum now open

John’s Beach Combing Museum is now open in Andersonville near the North entrance of Forks. Just driving down the short gravel road, at 5 mph please, you start to see the amazing collection John Anderson has amassed.

The collection starts outside the building with the tower of floats and gigantic rusty metal floats that line the driveway.

Once inside the found items go floor to ceiling.

Many of the items also have interesting and sometimes funny stories. Like Mr. McClosky’s slippers.

While Anderson was doing a plumbing job one day at Leon Applebaum’s cabin, Applebaum showed Anderson a slipper he had found on the beach.

A sea full of plastic and here is some of it, Photos Christi Baron

The slipper had a name tag on it, Mr. McClosky. Applebaum told Anderson he was sorry that Mr. McClosky only had one slipper now.

About a year later Anderson was beach combing at Yellow Banks and found Mr. McClosky’s other slipper. When Anderson told Applebaum about the find Applebaum gave him the other slipper and now Mr. McClosky’s slipper are together again on the wall of Anderson’s museum along with the story.

Besides the assortments of shoes, camera bags and other lost at sea items is a row of Raggedy Ann heads, they are a bit unnerving.

Anderson jokes that if you are ever stranded on the beach and need to brush your teeth it is likely a tooth brush will wash up on shore, yes he even has a container full of used tooth brushes.

A special room off the back

Sunshine and Rainbows and the Family First Center are gearing up for summer and planning for the fall. We are so excited to have achieved the best ratings for our childcare services through the University of Washington Early Achievers rating system.

What an honor and great achievement that is for us and all our great staff. The Family First Center is also doing great with fun activities scheduled for all age groups and they are free. Sponsored by Green Crow and the Port of Port Angeles.

We kicked off our Summer Fun with a visit from the “Son of the Reptile Man”. June 23, our children and community members were treated to a live animal presentation from Isaac Peterson.

This interactive assembly was provided to Sunshine and Rainbows by an anonymous donation. Then Amber Hull and Shandra Swidecki, designed and decorated, with help from our children, our float for the Forks Old Fashioned Fourth of July parade.

Seven children from our Center rode on the float, tossing candy to the watching crowds.

They did such an awesome job that we won the first place ribbon!

I am not much of a game person but wound up playing Family Feud on Wednesday night and had a great time.

They did a great duplication of the “real” family feud, it was exciting to hear the music play and your correct answers pop up on the board. By the way — how many of you can describe a martian?

Thank you to the Week One youth group who from the Seattle area who spent July 6-8 with us. They pulled weeds,

cleaned our bus, washed windows, painted our fence, and provided a variety of services for our Center. What a great group of kids.

So what’s next?

12 Budding Entrepreneurs to Compete for $20,000 Washington Coast Works Sustainable Small Business Competition Enters New Phase Twelve finalists from coastal communities have been chosen to participate in an intensive small-business boot camp in Forks for the Washington Coast Works: Sustainable Small Business Competition (wacoastworks.org).

The boot camp, July 30-Aug. 2, will include workshops on entrepreneurship, business, and sustainability. Following boot camp, finalists will have access to one-on-one technical assistance from experienced business advisors to develop and refine their business concepts, before going on to compete for $20,000 in startup funding, along with ongoing training and support.

First place winner will receive

$10,000 in startup funding, while two second-place winners will receive $5,000 each.

Prize funding is provided by First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles and the Quinault Indian Nation.

The finalists are: Elizabeth Alexandra (Aberdeen) – launching a worker cooperative to collect food waste for production and sale of compost.

Emily Foster (Forks/ Quileute Nation) – launching a business that smokes and sells locally caught fish to both residents and tourists.

Liz Ellis (Aberdeen) – launching a business providing low-income housing with community gardens.

Anna Kim (Westport) – launching a business to manufacture and sell sustainable “papercrete” landscaping materials using recycled paper

Robert Long (Neah Bay/Makah Tribe) – launching a business to produce and sell sustainably farmed seaweed and shellfish.

Kelsey Pearson (Forks) – launching a food cooperative that will offer a diverse array of local food and produce to the community.

Linda Reeves (Queets/Quinault Indian Nation) – launching a market place for Native arts and crafts, as well as local produce and food.

Roxanne Eison (Taholah/Quinault Indian Nation) - expanding her existing forest thinning business to include sustainable harvesting and sale of salal.

Greg Larsen (Hoquiam) – launching a business to manufacture alternative, affordable and sustainable housing using shipping containers.

Mark Ray (Neah Bay/Makah Tribe) –

launching a coffee shop featuring local coffee roasters, craft beers, wines, and foods.

Jean Ramos (Queets/Quinault Indian Nation) – launching a business to sell traditional Native medicinal products.

Michael Myers (Cosmopolis) – launching a consulting business focusing on converting waste to energy using methane digesters.

The competition is being presented by the Taala Fund, the Center for Inclusive Entrepreneurship at Pinchot University, and The Nature Conservancy in an effort to diversify the local economy through the development of new small businesses, build business leadership in local communities, grow a constituency that supports conservation and sustainable natural resource use, and ultimately contribute to a new vision of sustainable community and economic development on the Washington Coast.

County Commissioner Candidates attend WEBPA meeting Incumbent Jim McEntire and challenger Mark Ozias both want to be your county Commissioner, they both attended the WEBPA meeting in Forks last week.

Each gave an opening statement and then questions followed.

Mark Ozias is the executive director of the Sequim Food Bank.

He is a former small business owner,the Red Rooster Grocery, and former manager of the Sequim Farmers Market.

Ozias says he is running because he believes he can do a better job. He believes a collaborative style would receive better results.

Jim McEntire told the group “You know me I am no stranger to the West End.” He said he is proud of the promise he kept to focus on the economy. McEntire said he has also tried to focus on making county government work. His approach is taking common sense and applying it.

Questions followed: “Why are you the best person for the job, to solve our economic problems?”

Ozias-“The most important thing is to find a way to get people back to work. I am aware of the loss of jobs with my work at the food bank. We need to focus on jobs. I feel it is important to support the collaborative efforts. I support research and new ideas like cross-laminated timber. We need to update antiquated building codes to use

this new technology. We need to take advantage of resources and produce more value added products.”

McEntire-“We don’t suffer from a lack of process; process has become an end to itself. We need to adjust if we find a way to do something better. The mill closures are a result of an unwarranted amount of process. They were starved for lumber. Timber sales need to be put up more efficiently.”

“How effective will Kilmer’s Collaborative group be to help get more timber harvested?

Ozias-“The environmental side and industry side have been butting heads for 50 years. We need to take the time to work together. It is inevitable that things get tied up in court. We need less conflict to assure a specific result. I think it is shown to be effective so far.”

McEntire-“One disappointing thing is the USFS seems to only address habitat. We need to address multiple purpose, multiple yield. We are ignoring laws that are not conducive to the administrations policies. We have a different mindset than the other Washington.

“Logging is no longer ‘king’ in Forks. What would you do to promote the area to retirees, businesses, tourists?”

Ozias-“Part of what makes Forks attractive is its proximity to so many special places. Encourage people to drive the loop

not finished addressing yet. I am proud of my record. I want to be a cheerleader for the citizens. I want to continue to serve this county.”

Jim McEntire and Mark Ozias addressed the West End Business and Professional Association morning meeting on Wednesday, July 8, at the DNR Conference Room. Candidate Bryan Frazier was unable to attend but he agreed to answer the same questions which will appear in a separate column next week.

install electric car charging stations. Introduce new technology to the timber industry that draw people and provide jobs. Look at ourselves differently.”

M c E n t i re - “ G ove r n m e n t doesn’t have all the answers.

First we need to work on policy. The timber industry has become more mechanized. We need to work on promoting the county as a place to live, work and play. Things like the lodging tax has done a lot to promote the area.”

“What are your thoughts/ suggestions about the National Park’s plan to close 101 around Lake Crescent for long periods of time for road rehab?”

McEntire-“I will push hard for partial closure and possible work at night. Highway 112 is

not suitable. It may cost more, but at least one lane needs to remain open.”

Ozias-“I hear your concerns regarding the Highway 101 closure for any period of time is a terrible idea. I would push to maintain access.

“Why do you want to be a commissioner?”

Ozias-“I have the right skills and style to be more effective.

We need to address drought and water issues. I am concerned about the county budget. I am seeing down the road that revenue and expenses are not on par.

I see a need to take a different focus on economic development.

Small business is the job creator.

We need to support existing businesses.”

McEntire-“There are challenges and opportunities I have

“One of Forks’ problems is our remoteness adds transportation costs to getting products to market. Any thoughts on a remedy for that?

Ozias-“Their is no magical way to straighten the road. We need value added products as opposed to raw. We need to look at tomorrow not yesterday.

McEntire-“We need to add value to products to overcome transportation costs.”

“If the DNR continues to not meet their cut quota, should that be rolled over to the next years cut?”

Ozias-“I would add an advocate to work through the arrearage.”

McEntire-“We need votes to do that. We need to let entities know that they are not getting their money from the trust lands.”

CLOSING STATEMENTS Ozias-“It is best when people feel that they are engaged. I am concerned about county government not working as well as it should. My leadership style skills make me the right person for the job.

McEntire-“Thanks for this opportunity. I ask for your support and I need your vote.

True Color Part 25

Craters of the Bogachiel

By Chiggers Stokes Special to Forks Forum

My consuming interest in alternative energy is not the only obsession I have obeyed in steering a dangerous course in modern pioneering.

I was born in Brazil.

If fireworks could be demeaned to military intent, Brazil would be a major world power.

When I was a kid, a U.S penny bought ten Formidáveis. (translated amazing formidables) which was a cardboard pouch of 100 grains of flashpowder with a self igniting fuse.

They were like grenades!

My family re-patriated to the U.S. when I was five years old, which probably accounts for why I still have all my fingers and can still grow eyebrows.

I was bored with the safe and sane displays available to the American public.

Early on I learned to subvert ordinary fountains to a pyrotechnic that would lift off the ground and zip around any audience impru-

dent enough to attend one of my Fourth of July shows.

When I was 23 years old I obtained an Oregon Blaster’s License. I procured a Washington card when I acquired part of the Flying S Ranch ten miles from Forks. Some of the stunts and close calls that typified my exercising those licenses were the subject of previous stories for the Forks Forum. I won’t repeat them now because I am in the process of applying for a Washington State Pyrotechnic license so I can be on the firing line at Tillicum Park for 2016’s Forks Fourth of July.

I will say that I went through a phase where dynamite was my solution for almost everything.

Why own a shovel when you had a Blaster’s License? In fact, dynamite came to mind when I faced any life challenge.

A friend came over, desperately depressed, and asked my wife and me what is the point of living.

Clearly, my friend needed a couple of sticks of dynamite detonating beside our cabin to put him right. But I didn’t want to blow out the recycled glass we had installed in our $800 cabin.

I went down to the soft mud next to Hemp Hill Creek and buried a couple of sticks...or maybe it was five or six.

The crater went clear to the creek and our cabin was painted mud. My friend left shortly after the explosion. He wasn’t depressed when he left and he seemed to be very interested in living, after all.

The Flying S became my private proving grounds. My wife removed the historic name of Flying S, given by German immigrant Otto Siegfried, and dubbed the farm Craters of the Bogachiel Flying Rock Farm.

She asked what I intended to do with so many holes in the ground. At a loss for a logical answer, I said she could use any

one of them to bury a goat. She actually laid a goat to rest in one of my craters not long after.

But we had many more craters than goats.

It was only a matter of time before my obsession with explosives would intersect with my obsession with alternative energy. I noticed that Coho fry had moved into the crater by the creek in a deep concentration.

I needed State Fisheries to approve my plan to seduce a gallon a second of water from Hemp Hill Creek for a microhydroelectric project. I talked a fishery biologist named Randy Johnson into signing off on the Hydraulic Project Application to connect my microhydroelectric with Hemp Hill via a circuitous channel that connected my beloved craters.

Mr. Johnson pointed out that this artificial habitat would be a formidable ditch. I assured him that, for me, ditches were not a problem.

When the HPA arrived in the mail, I hurried down to Peninsula Loggers Supply and came back with a case of fresh dynamite, 300 feet of det-cord and about 100 pounds of explosive fertilizer.

I used about half of it getting a feel for digging ditches with

stumping powder and ANFO (ammonium nitrate). I connected the booms with the det-cord which brought many satchels into one shot.

That evening, I told my wife that the next morning I would be taking off the safe and sane and making a once and for all shot. I expected that one shot to complete the project and still leave some land on our property.

I talked to her about the safest bunker to repair to with our new baby girl.

I was taping a blasting cap to the det-cord, getting ready to unleash the fury of hell on this particular eco project when Randy Johnson showed up. I thought he was a day late, but he had the HPA in hand and I had started a day early.

But he wasn’t one to quibble.

I asked if he wanted to light the fuse and he thought it might be fun.

Fuse lit, I yelled FIRE IN THE HOLE!!! for my wife’s benefit.

Randy and I ran back to my cabin. At the side our $800 cabin was parked Randy’s $15,000 government pickup.

“Didn’t you see our vehicles on the other side of the creek?!”

I exclaimed, as we sheltered on my front porch with a full view of the impending holocaust.

“Surely you don’t expect to have rock fly way over here by your cabin,” he reasoned.

“I’m certain of it! If your pickup will drive, you’ll leave here with a payload of our farm...”

“But your family is in here,” Randy mewled.

“The wife’s under a bed with our kid...”

And then, with a roar that is felt more than registered with the ears, a significant portion of our farm lifted into the air. Several rocks hit my shop roof but didn’t go through.

Then rocks started crashing through the fiberglass roof of a shed. Rocks began falling around Randy’s pickup throwing up grass and dirt as they impacted. A big rock came through our living room skylight and my wife cursed and daughter started crying.

When it seemed like it was over, Randy ran to the porch’s threshold and looked into the sky for any asteroid sized rocks still on the way. He jumped into his miraculously undamaged government pickup and took off with the same expression I had seen on the face of the friend I helped with depression.

Hope your Fourth of July was a blast.

Chatting Around the Campfire

Hot Topic

By Duane Miles On this July 6 day, as this column is being prepared for publication, one of the hottest topics in the news has been the coverage of various close by fires in nearly every major direction. These reports have included fires to the north, the east, the west, and the southeast; those fires being in British Columbia, Wenatchee, Rialto Beach, and the upper Queets Valley, respectively.

The most unusual of these fires has to be the Queets blaze, though. This Olympic National Park fire, some 14 miles upriver from the trailhead, was first spotted on June 15.

Quickly a fire crew was sent in to contain it. However, as we now know, that containment failed. Officials of the ONP determined that this burning Spruce snag had been ignited by a lightning strike about a

month earlier.

What makes this fire so unusual is its river floodplain ignition point and that this fire spread so readily in this valley floor ecosystem area. Evidently this blaze found what it was looking for as it engulfed various forest floor burnable material such as layers of castoff tree needles and all shapes and sizes of windfall debris, as well as tree canopy material such as lichen and mosses. All things considered, that with humidity levels as low as 31%, it was not surprising that this fire was going to gain such notoriety.

Looking once again at lightning strikes, they normally occur on more exposed regions such as hillsides and ridge tops. One ONP report stated to the effect that this present fire ignition point probably hasn’t seen a fire in some 1000 years.

A case in point-- when con-

sidering more likely lightning targets-is an obvious formerly burned over area above 3000 feet, a mile or so east of this current fire. That older fire, which can be readily seen from the rivers gravel bar, was large as well.

This present fire’s initial report wasn’t too alarming to me. Even with the policy of the ONP being merely “to contain this fire, not put it out,” there still wasn’t much concern because this fire is in such a remote area with” no habitations threatened”. Even as this fire has advanced northward from an elevation of 700 feet to over 3000 feet and both eastward and westward to a width

of more than 2 miles, there still should be no concern. However, with the likelihood of this fire burning until October, concern is in the air. Presently over 1,238 acres have been scorched, with fire crews being able to prevent this fire from jumping to the South side of the river, until last Saturday.

On that day, when this fire broke ranks and jumped over the river, a distance of nearly an eighth mile, there was great surprise in my sails. If that fire can do that, it has the potential to do almost anything.

The Pelton shelter has already been lost to this fire, though it was no longer usable since a

windfall hit it at least 3 years ago. However, in the entire Queets trail system, the one thing which can never be replaced is the World’s largest Douglas fir tree at Coal Creek.

This fir recently regained this status when another giant fir in Oregon fell down. Though this tree is about 11.6 miles west of the current fire line, it is probably well out of range of this fire. I hope that distance doesn’t change very much over the course of the summer.

Go, firefighters!
