Planned Power Outage West End Clallam County PUD customers began receiving pre-recorded messages Monday evening notifying them of an upcoming power outage scheduled for Friday, Aug. 21.

The outage is planned between 12:01 and 4 a.m.

It will affect all customers in Forks, Jefferson County south of Forks, LaPush, Beaver, Sappho and all areas west of Lake Crescent.

During the planned outage, PUD crews will maintain transmission lines and distribution facilities.

Customers also received postcards in the mail.

Race attendees look over a portion of the Show-n-Shine cars lined up at the Forks Airport during the West End Thunder Drag races Saturday. Do you have a vehicle that is your pride and joy?

It appears as though the Lake Crescent goose family has sublet its nesting log for the summer to a seagull family.

Seagulls are monogamous and both male and female seagulls take turns incubating eggs. Seagulls are one of the rare animals that are able to drink salt water. They have special glands, located above the eyes, which eliminate excess salt from the body. Main predators of seagulls are large birds of prey, such as eagles. Photo Jack Merrick

Forks has the privilege of hosting the Washington State Supreme Court on Sept. 9-10.

There will be a welcoming reception for the Court at 5 p.m. Sept. 9, hosted by Peninsula College.

The Court will hold regular session on Sept. 10 starting at 9 a.m. at the Rainforest Center, 35 N. Forks Ave. Attorneys will present oral arguments on three cases being considered by the nine justices of the State Supreme Court.

West End residents will recognize a familiar face sitting on the dais, in that Justice Susan Owens was the judge of District II Court in Forks for many years.

The public is encouraged to attend and watch the Court in session, something rarely seen outside of Olympia or one of the state’s colleges.

Dear Editor, Twenty-three of us sit together in a large circle looking at each other’s faces. Once a week, for 15 weeks now, we have sat together just like this, sharing our struggles in life; our collective eyes often swelling from our shared humanity being exposed, the vulnerability in just living and being present in this world. I find rawness in speaking from this place of honesty, an honesty that draws us all closer, that makes visible what we all share, especially what we share in this group.

My eyes shift from person to person, as my mind replays the different moments I had with each of them on this journey.

With one person: ‘I remember you speaking passionately about learning for yourself how to truly listen to someone else, without judging them.’

My eyes shift to another: ‘I remember you rarely spoke in the large group. But I passed by you once when we were split off into pairs, and was moved when you said to your partner, “I am so grateful to be alive. I want to contribute to people’s well-being, especially those who are hurting a lot. And I love the person I am today.”

My eyes shift again: ‘I remember you sharing how transformed your life has become since being with this group. And while those sitting beside you were teasing your seriousness, you said, “No. Hear me out. Stop and listen to me for a second. My life is changed. I have found a way to see myself and others that

transcends all I ever knew.”

Now after 15 weeks of learning together, exploring what it means to live interdependently, sharing our truth, and listening with compassion, we are all at this final circle to celebrate our accomplishments and how all our hearts have moved.

And each person in this circle besides the five facilitators is a prisoner at Clallam Bay Correctional Center. And what hope we all created behind those walls.

It is my firm belief that if people are held with compassion and seen in a way that supports their sense of being human, they are more likely to open their hearts and change the way they live to benefit those around them. It is my experience when people are invited, with generosity, back into the wider circle of humanity by offering them your presence, change occurs.

And it is through this quality of presence and being with another that can open eyes and craft a reality where mutual care and trust between people can be woven together again.

And with each thread another future is being built. And this is where I lay all my dreams.

who voted to legalize “recreational” pot, and I think they were wrong, I don’t question their motives.

I would guess that they supported the initiative because they felt it would lighten their tax burden and lower the costs of law enforcement, among other reasons.

I don’t believe that the use of pot by responsible adults has increased one iota, but I do think it will among teenag-

ers and young adults. Many of them will interpret passage of the measure as making the use of pot more socially acceptable and act accordingly. Approval of medical marijuana had that result.

Life presents too many challenges for a person to saddle himself with the disadvantage of a befuddled mind.

West End Business members hear about Juvenile and Family Services On Wednesday, Aug. 12, Pete Peterson, director of Clallam County Juvenile and Family Services, shared information about what he does.

Peterson started in Juvenile Services in 1976 and began working for Clallam County in 1989. Peterson said, “Clallam County Juvenile and Family Services will do whatever it takes to provide prevention, treatment and accountability services for youth and their families.”

Services provided include Community Supervision, Court Services, At-Risk Youth Supervision, Diversion, Detention, CASA and Truancy

Sekiu man found deceased in vehicle Deputy Sheriff Joe Pursley responded to a vehicle accident that was on fire in the 300 block of Washington Street in Sekiu, at around 4 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 15.

Jerry Anderson, 70, of Sekiu, was found slumped over the steering wheel of a car that was in a ditch by passerby Norman Dale, 71, of Clallam Bay. The car was beginning to catch fire and Dale, with the help of others, pulled Anderson out of the car. Medics arrived and unsuccessfully attempted to revive Anderson.

Firefighters quickly put out the fire before it spread into the foliage on the bank where the

car came to rest. Anderson did not suffer any traumatic injuries from the collision and was removed from the car before the passenger compartment was engulfed in flames.

There was minimal impact damage to the vehicle and the collision evidence indicated the car left the roadway traveling at less than 20 miles per hour.

The heat of the engine sitting on dry grass in the ditch was likely what caused the fire to ignite. The fire spread under the front driver’s side engine compartment and backwards into the rest of the car. The interior of the car was com-

pletely gutted by the fire.

According to Anderson’s family and physician, Anderson had a history of heart and lung problems that he was being treated for. It was likely that Anderson had a medical emergency while driving, which likely will be determined through the ongoing investigation.

Other programs/services offered through Juvenile Services include: Dependency Court proceedings Drug Court Court Appointed Advocates Special Offender Supervision Probation Prevention Juvenile Services encourages and uses volunteers in many duties. Volunteer hours number in the thousands each year and approximately 100 volunteers actively participate in working with youth.

Peterson feels that statistics for West End for youth at risk

are low and don’t really reflect the number of juveniles that actually need help.

Peterson said truancy is a societal issues and needs to be addressed in elementary school by working with the community, schools and judges.

Peterson invites community members to stop by the Juvenile and Family Services office anytime for a tour. The office is at 1912 W. 18th St., Port Angeles.

Complimentary Nasal Rebreathers

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford In response to last week’s column about the hot springs aroma, someone said to themselves, “I’ll show her!” and alerted me to their wonderful article explaining why some hot springs smell. It was cleverly titled “Why Some Hot Springs Smell.”

Well, they certainly did show me! I was ridiculously enlightened on this very electrifying subject!

For those of you who didn’t major in the smells of the hot springs (and are regretting that choice now, I’m sure), I will sum up the scientific process. Basically the smell is the result of the product of the byproduct of the correlation of the sum between two right angles and one left angle. When that occurs, the oxygen hydrates into nothing but particles of hydrated oxygen, which means that the active transporter absorbs the bell curve to the point of no return. All of this combined gives the effect of a calibrated catalyst and very dense magnetism of which can usually be measured by a skewed distributor cap, but not always.

So, to answer why some hot springs smell, they just do.

The author described the smell in his article with the term “rotten eggs.” Well, let me just tell you … while writing my last column, that same term bounced around my head many times. Yet, you will notice that I never used it. Why? Because I didn’t want to offend anyone, specifically the rotten eggs of the world who are saying, “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Did you just compare us to the hot springs? We don’t smell THAT bad!”

As captivating as all that science was, the highlight of the article for me was a little fun fact: “During the latter part of the 19th century, many of the exclusive hot springs resorts supplied guests with nasal rebreathers that were said to help eliminate the odors associated with hot springs. Rebreather menus in the guests’ lodgings allowed them to pick their nose prior to taking the waters.”

Obviously, this fun fact left me with one burning question; why did they need to pick their noses prior to taking the waters? Were boogers not as welcome back then? Thankfully, I would not need to ponder those questions very long because the author has another article titled, “Hot Springs Etiquette.”

This article states (and I am not making any of this up), “Good hot springs etiquette dictates not to blow your nose in the water.” So that’s why they had to pick their nose prior to taking the waters, I guess.

Now that I’ve learned all there is to know about the hot springs smell topic, I’m just wondering why there aren’t complimentary nasal rebreathers anymore. Is this a budget thing?

If so, we need to work something out. Surely we can make some cuts somewhere to bring those back. I mean … really … are lifeguards more important than our offended noses? I think not. It’s all about priorities, people.

For questions or comments, you will absolutely not be able to find me at the hot springs anymore, but you can 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.

Memories in a box

By Christi Baron A few months ago Tom Wells, of Forks, stopped by the Forks Forum office with a metal box.

Wells had been helping clean out a shop on “D” Street and while much of the contents of the shop went to the dump, Wells saved the metal box from the same fate.

He thought I might recognize some of the names or pictures of the people that were in the box. I quickly looked at the contents and then put the box under my desk and a month or so went by. I knew Wells was going to be by any day to retrieve the box so I took it home and what I found I knew would be really important to someone.

Inside the box were little things like receipts for rent, phone bills, photos and important things like birth certificates, Social Security cards and a little girl’s report cards. I decided I needed to find the people who these items belonged to. So I focused on the little girl, the items were from the mid-1970s and possibly left at a rental property in Forks, many items like the report cards were from Port Angeles schools.

The name of the girl was Piper Flood, I hoped her name was still the same, and how many Piper Floods could there be? Well, there was a bunch.

I started looking for her on Facebook and finally narrowed it down to a person that listed Port Angeles as a former residence, she now lived in Pasco.

I sent her a message on Facebook and when I sent the message, a Facebook message came up telling me that since Piper and I were not friends the message would go to her “other box.” I have been on Facebook eight years and I have never looked at my “other box” I didn’t even know where it was.

So, I Googled it and located it and wondered what exciting

She said, “Thank God, each place we lived there was a neighbor that I was able to connect with, that probably saved my life.”

Carnival Time!

Sunshine & Rainbows Smokey took some time, from spreading the word about forest fires, to visit with the children at the Sunshine and Rainbows Carnival last Tuesday.

Top right: Almost everyone had their faces painted!

A crazy-looking orange-haired clown did some fancy face painting during the carnival … and threatened the photographer, if her photo should appear in the paper — hence, the back of her head shot.

Fishing with Calm Waters The group Calm Waters recently ran a private fishing derby for members of the Wounded Warrior Project. The event ran from Aug. 7-9, and 16 individuals went fishing out of Sekiu. Calm Waters fundraising efforts helped pay for the cost of rooms, food, and whatever else was needed to make it a memorable event for the participants. This was the third time CW held the derby.

Calm Waters was organized in 2012 and its members are mostly made up of employees of the Clallam Bay Prison.

The organization plans on doing a fishing event for residents of Sarge’s Place on a Saturday in September.

Calm Waters would like to thank the many West End businesses and people that have been very supportive of the group’s efforts and those that have generously donated goods, services, and time. They are very grateful and could not do this without their support.

They would also like to acknowledge the administration of CBCC and OCC that have also been very supportive. Even the inmates of both facilities have donated their arts and crafts for the auction fundraiser.

On Monday, Calm Waters presented Sarge’s Place with a $2,000 donation. From left are Sarge’s Place Scott Trosper, Jennifer Pelikan and Cheri Tinker with Calm Waters president Brad Mclean and vice president Ted Bates. Submitted Photo

Ride hard, Work free!

By Jane Hielman A crew that is alive, awake and aware, passed through our communities this week.

May came in, then Cat, and then Lyndsey and the story started to take off. These folk ride each summer. They ride for “rideandbuild.org”, a not-forprofit organization that supports independent and sustainable living. They get the fun of the journey, and wow could they pump out the fun, as well as the community giving program that they ride and build for.

Natalie, who is program director for the Bike & Ride Organization, enthusiastically added, “There are several rides going at the same time. Each year we go from Maine to New York City, it is called the Coastal Drift. Then there is this three-week ride called Drift West from Oregon to Bellingham.

Whilst there are several across country-rides simultaneously occurring.” She turned around and on her back was the 2015 map of all of the rides. Natalie said that she loves what she does and highly recommends such a break in routine as seven months at work and five months on the road!

Perfect! Tongue in cheek she laughed, “I am very corporate, NOT!” Natalie told me she lives and works in Philadelphia. She will be back there in September, in time to begin her seven months of office work! The part she wanted to share with me is that this seven months is only a part of her year at work.

The other five months each year she spends on the road cycling with a group of super fun loving people who are involved in the teams she coordinates.

“At the moment I am riding with Drift West, a ride organized for a group of 34 who will take a planned ride from Oregon to Neah Bay then to San Juan Island and then on to Bellingham,” Natalie said.

She and the other four young women were so full of life that they filled the Co-op with their happy sounds and enthusiastic voices. They went through all of our stock, chose treats and nibbles to pack into their back packs … at this point of the story it is no different from any other cycling adventurer!

This year they rode to Neah Bay to meet their host and perform the tasks that the host had prepared and planned for them, they built park table benches and planter boxes, they did this for the whole day, all 34

them on.

What a show of color, personality and great attitude they shared both with me and our communities.

They commented that this 20mile stretch of the journey was

the most beautiful ride they have ever undertaken. It took longer, they all agreed, as they kept stopping to enjoy the views.

They shared that a bike ride is raw and pure, it keeps them alive!

of them. They were treated to a drive and then walk out to the Cape, dinner, sleep over and then off they went on their bike ride to the San Juans and then Bellingham!

They love what they do!

Lyndsey told me that they are on an ethereal mission to raise money and awareness for affordable housing and to employ young adults onto a path of a life time of service and civic engagement.

Her job is to take one ride start to finish and then join the other rides to the finish line.

Two days before, May had dragged herself into the Co-op, in her ride and bike uniform looking so serious, it only took a few moments for me to be included in her reaction as she started playing and celebrating the impact the Co-op had on her.

I was hooked, I wanted to know more, and so, I followed her and her half gallon of ice cream over to Clallam Bay Beach. There draped over the big log were five very fit and totally relaxed young women soaking up the sun.

They hit that tub of ice cream like they had never eaten. I had to ask questions and join the mood, take a few photos and wish I was with them in their world. They cutely reminded me that I was in their world, and they were right, it was my first trip to the beach from the Co-op for summer 2015! Shame

on me!

Folk left things for Unique Unique on the bench and the girls saw them. Inner tube, life jacket, a fluffy boa and fun clothes. They were into it, and started dressing up.

Most bike riders weigh each item they touch and will under no circumstances add to their burden of weights and measures. But these girls wore it all. The brighter the color the better they liked it. They left a good donation to the quarter store and posed for the picture.

The Ballerina is Lyndsey, a total character, wearing an inner tube as her Tu-tu. There can never be too much fun for her.

The lipstick and the kiss she planted on my cheek that I wore for the day was from May, “A girl can never have too much lip stick whilst she is riding!” said May. “I wear lipstick to keep us excited as we ride. We spread the love and get surprised looks when we stop to help others on the road. Why not lipstick?”

Cat just rolled with the cast that defined the ride and build program. They all said, that humor and fun is what keeps them going.

I asked Lyndsey why she chose to ride in an inner tube, she put on theatrical airs and graces saying, “For style of course. Doesn’t everyone ride like this?” They hope that if you pass them on the road you will honk your horn and cheer

Gordon Decker passed peacefully on the morning of August 8, 2015, in the arms of his best friend and wife of almost 52 years, Judi Decker.

Gordon was born on July 1, 1942, to Guy and Olive Decker in Port Angeles, Washington.

He was a member of the First Baptist Church. Gordon believed in hard work and living life to its fullest.

He married Judi (Meng) on August 31, 1963. They went on to have and raise three sons in Forks, Washington.

Gordon worked in the logging industry his entire working career, starting as a tree planter and ending as the owner and operator of Decker Construction.

In 2005, he and Judi shut down Decker Construction to enjoy retirement. Prior to retiring, they had begun snowbirding to Quartzside, Arizona annually. After retiring they began to spend all of the winter months there, enjoying friends, swap meets, and the sunshine. They would come back in the spring every year with treasures for the boys and their families.

Gordon enjoyed hunting, fishing and boating trips, as well as building hot rods, and swap meets.

In his earlier years, Gordon also loved flying the two airplanes he owned and scuba diving. He and Judi passed on the love of these hobbies to their boys, who joined in as many of these adventures as possible.

Gordon and his boys could often be found on the weekends in the shop, working on their latest car project.

Gordon believed in taking care of those he loved.

Sometimes this meant a stern lecture with some words of wisdom when he felt it was needed. Other times though, this meant the quiet passing of an envelope to help someone who was struggling financially or following through on difficult promises he had made.

Gordon will be remembered by those who knew him as loyal, hard working, quick witted, and one of the toughest son of a guns that you’d ever want to meet.

He is survived by his wife, Judi, of Forks; sons Rick (Troy) of Amarillo, Texas, Mark (Renea) of Forks, and Dean (Sarah) of Forks; grandchildren Marcus (Heather), Joel, Joslyn, Lauren, and Race; great grandchildren Kaidyn and Hunter; brother Guy (Betty) Decker; sister-in-law Patty Decker; sister Joyce (Sonny) Smith; nieces and nephews Theresa (Rod) Parker, Jim (Laura) Decker, Guy E. (Cheri) Decker, Bill (Kristi) Decker, Peggy (Dave) Mallahan, Mike (Cheri) Smith, Tim (Amy) Smith, and Shawna (Mike) Kaschmitter; as well as many great nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by both of his parents, his infant son Dale, brother James Decker, and nephew Ryan Decker.

Gordon fought prostate cancer for the last 8 years of his life. He participated in many research studies and treatments in hopes that his fight would not be in vain and that he may help save the lives of others. The family is requesting that memorial gifts be made in support of prostate cancer research at University of Washington Medical Center. Checks should be made payable to the “UW Foundation” and mailed to: UW Medicine Advancement, Attn: Gift Processing, Box 358045, Seattle, WA 98195-8045. Please indicate that the gift is in honor of Gordon Decker.

You may also make a gift online at www. supportuwmedicine.org. If you choose to give online, please search for the GUPROS fund, which has been chosen by the family.

The family will be hosting a Celebration of Life luncheon for Gordon on September 12, 1:00 P.M. at the First Congregational Church reception hall, 280 S. Spartan Ave, Forks, WA 98331. Lunch and beverages will be provided.

Remembering … Sappho

By Christi Baron

Appliances

They later returned to Sappho and also lived in Sekiu for many years. Munro said she would do it all over again, when talking about her logging camp days.

In 1949, Jack Olson, my father, went to work at Sappho Camp. He lived in one of the bunkhouses.

There were eight bunks to each house and a stove in the middle.

The food was good and there was lots of it but he does remember one morning when ants invaded the syrup pitchers at the cookhouse.

An old busheler sitting next to him killed the ants and ate the syrup on his pancakes anyway.

Lunches were packed for the workers and then extra items like cakes and pie could be added from the “spike” table.

When it came time to do laundry the camp had steam washing machines. Olson said, “You would take your pants and put them in the steel box. Turn the steam on and it would start to rumble. If you turned the steam up too much, it

would blow your pants to pieces.”

PUBLIC NOTICE The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has established an Information Repository for documents and materials generated as part of the investigation being conducted at the former Naval Auxiliary Air Station Quillayute, a formerly used defense site near Quillayute, Washington. The Information Repository is house at the Forks Branch Library, 171 South Forks Avenue, Forks, Washington.

The property was acquired by the War Department in the early 1940s and developed as an auxiliary air station for the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy.

Records indicate that during World War II the facility was used for practice B-24 bombing missions, P-38 fighter aircraft missions, and deployment of surveillance blimps. The majority of the property was acquired by the State of Washington in 1962; the remaining acreage was sold to the Quillayute Prairie School District or private individuals. The portion of the site occupied by the Quillayute Airport is currently owned and operated by the City of Forks.

The Corps is completing an investigation at the former Naval Auxiliary Air Station Quillayute to determine the presence and extent of contamination as a result of Department of Defense activities.

The Administrative Record is a collection of documents that form the basis for making a decision on how to solve a specific environmental problem. The file contains all documents related to the project and will be updated as new information is available. Access to the Administrative Record File may be obtained by visiting the Library between10 am and 7 pm, Monday through Thursday or 10 am to 6 pm, Friday and Saturday.

Founded 1930

581394030

In February 2009, the roof of the old building that stood at the Sappho junction finally gave out under the weight of snow.

In 1929, J.M. “Pop Goody” Goodwin constructed a building to serve as a tavern he called Goody’s. Bloedel Donovan had moved a logging camp to the town of Sappho. The town is believed to be named after a Greek poet, by an earlier resident, and the camp consisted of railroad facilities, bunkhouses, a store, post office and company houses.

Goodwin’s daughter Joline Wittenborn remembered the tavern being a very busy place. During World War II, Wittenborn recalls “Pop” enlisting the help of local women to bake bread and cookies and then inviting the soldiers from the Quillayute Air Base to come enjoy some home cooking. Many of those men and their families wrote letters and stayed in contact with “Pop” long after the war was over.

Lucille Duncan’s father Victor Udd was a mechanic or donkey doctor for Bloedel in the 1930s.

They lived in one of the company houses. When asked what she remembered about the house she

said, “We had an indoor bathroom!” She recalls her and her sister Eleanor roller skating on Highway 101.

In 1945, Bloedel sold to Rayonier and in 1948 the late Phyllis Munro was living in Vancouver, B.C. Her husband, George “Mac” Munro, had served in World War II and had family in Port Angeles. He had found a job at the Sappho Camp office and it came with a house.

With little construction during the war, houses were hard to come by, so this was a bonus. Having been accustomed to city life, Mrs. Munro’s arrival at her new “home” in a logging camp was a bit of a shock.

Peeling wallpaper, a toilet on the back porch and a rusty pipe with no shower head for bathing was what awaited her.

And when after a few years she got a real bathroom she found out they were moving to the Hoko.

The Bogachiel Rain Forest Trail

By Christi Baron Do you ever feel like going to the Hoh Rain Forest, but maybe don’t feel like driving so far? Well, has the U.S. Forest Service got a deal for you!

The Bogachiel Rain Forest Trail is just 15 minutes from Forks, about 5 miles south on U.S. Highway 101, turn on Undi Road, across from Bogachiel State Park, and go about another 5 miles and you are there. Most of the road is paved, but the last section is gravel.

The best kept secret of this trail is it has no signage on the highway so it doesn’t get as much usage as it should.

This dog and family friendly trail provides a great opportunity to view old-growth rain forest in a wetland setting.

Travel though old-growth spruce, cedar and hemlock with hanging mosses and a floor of ferns.

The Bogachiel River can be accessed at several points before the trail reaches Olympic National Park boundary in 1.6 miles (no dogs are allowed in

the park).

Last Tuesday I got the opportunity to walk a portion of the trail and meet the trail crew as they worked. For most this is their second year working on the trail. All the crew grew up in Forks and didn’t know the trail existed. The trail has several loops and horses are allowed on some of the trail.

A portion of the trail also runs through a part of the Morgenroth homestead.

So get in the car and check out the Bogachiel Rain Forest Trail.
