Smokehouse to re-open?

Is the former Smokehouse Restaurant, located at the LaPush Road junction, about to become the next location in Clallam County for recreational marijuana? The former dining establishment currently houses a small medical marijuana business. According to Shon Harris, marketing and public relations spokesman for a company called New Vansterdam, big changes are coming. In a phone interview, Harris said remodeling has begun and the company hopes to be open for business by June. Described on its website as the largest recreational marijuana retailer in Washington, plans include re-opening the restaurant and using the upstairs portion of the building for the marijuana business. Harris also said there are plans for a souvenir shop and possibly re-establishing the fish smoking business. “We want to make a comfortable place for tourists and locals,” Harris said. The City of Forks confirmed that it has received a notice from the Liquor Control Board regarding the transfer of a marijuana license from the former 110 Business Park to the address of the former Smokehouse Restaurant. High Grade Organics-Edibles and Smoke Shop currently holds the license. They did not return calls or e-mails confirming these details. The future of the medical marijuana business currently renting a spot in the building is uncertain.

The Coast Guard suspended the search for the master of the 52-foot fishing vessel Sea Beast after more than 17 hours of searching near the Quillayute River. Three other fishermen from the capsized fishing boat were rescued. The search was suspended at approximately 9:30 p.m. May 3 and covered more than 498 miles around the target area. Twelve individual searches were conducted by Coast Guard assets, including a Coast Guard Station Quillayute River 47-foot Motor Life Boat crew, two MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrews from Coast Guard Air Station Port Angeles, an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Astoria and the Coast Guard cutter Blue Shark crew, homeported in Everett. “One of the hardest decisions the Coast Guard has to make is when to suspend a search for a missing person,” said Cmdr. Brian Meier, of the Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound response division. “Our heartfelt condolences go out to the friends, family and loved ones of the vessel captain.” The Coast Guard initially rescued the three fishermen after the fishing vessel reportedly took on water, capsized and subsequently sank 14 miles offshore of the Quillayute River, Sunday, May 3. Weather on scene at the time of the sinking was reportedly 5 to 10 mph winds and 4-foot seas. The Sea Beast reportedly is homeported in Neah Bay.

Fernandes receives Sheriff’s Commendation Award

The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office held its 2014 Awards Recognition Dinner on April 25 in Port Angeles. One of those receiving an award was U.S. Postal Service employee Max Fernandes. He received the Sheriff’s Commendation Award for directly contributing to saving the life of a Forks resident. Fernandes realized the resident had not picked up her mail, as was her daily routine, and took the time to check on her. Medical aid responded resulting in her transport to Forks Community Hospital where she received medical care for pneumonia, severe dehydration and diabetic coma. Had Fernandes gone about his

normal routine and not acted upon his concerns for her well-

being, it is likely the resident would not have survived the day.

Barefoot class representatives from Jaymi Goetze’s morning enrichment class at Forks Intermediate School help Mick Dodge “Stop the Bully.” The class recently completed this mural whose theme is stop bullying. Dodge stopped by FIS Wednesday morning April 29 after Goetze contacted him about doing so. After photos with the class reps, Dodge addressed the entire student body in an assembly and gave tips on dealing with a bully. Initially, he was to help with a mural of the rain forest but the school wanted to focus on its anti-bully program and Dodge was glad to get on board. Goetze said,”The kids were so excited and some were star struck. They were adorable. The staff thought it was really great he could take the time to come talk about bullying and pose with my enrichment class. We want to express how thankful we are he could come, thanks Mick!”

The old Quileute Community Center is no more. The 50-something year old building located in LaPush was torn down last Thursday by D&H Enterprises of Forks. Hermann Brothers of Port Angeles completed the job by grinding the building remains into small pieces. According to D&H owner Darrell Gaydeski, the seven large beams from the building were saved by the tribe for a future project. The tribe had held a closing ceremony for the building in November 2014, where many had reminisced about all the activities and events that had taken place at the facility over the years.

Put on a hat and volunteer. That was the advice from Edna Leppell of Forks at the Clallam County Community Service Awards last Thursday evening in Port Angeles.

THE REAL FORKS Darn Those Nagging Moms!

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford Mothers often are unfairly pegged as being nags who worry too much. That was not the case with my “mother” (my gram). Nagging worrywart would have been a very fair description of her. In fact, that stereotype may have originated with her. My gram passed away a little over a year ago and somehow her nagging and worrywarting lives on. If I go out into the rain without a coat on, I have flashbacks of her saying, “Where’s your coat? You’re going to get pneumonia!” I cannot remember a time that my gram didn’t worry or nag, but apparently the universe thought she needed more practice because I suddenly became stricken with epilepsy as a teenager. I’m not sure if stricken is the correct word to use when discussing the onset of this disorder. Caught epilepsy? Contracted epilepsy? Became infected with epilepsy? Developed epilepsy? I have no idea what the politically correct version is, but I’m thinking that I get a free pass to say whatever I want as a reluctant member of this club. As the self-appointed president, I’m officially going with the term “stricken” just because it sounds more dramatic. Regardless of the terms, my gram’s nagging really spiraled out of control when I started having seizures. Every day I heard her say, “Did you take your medicine? Are you feeling OK? You look tired. Do you need to rest? I wish you would take better care of yourself. Are you eating well? You look skinny. Do you want me to fix you something?! Don’t let yourself go without eating!” I’m not proud of this, but because I was 15 years old, I began hearing Charlie Brown’s teacher when my gram started in. “Did you wah-wah-wah? Are you wah-wah-wah? You look wahwah-wah.” (Dear teenagers, you’re going to have to YouTube “Charlie Brown’s teacher” to get that joke.) The more my gram worried and nagged, the more I rebelled. I was not about to consider for even one minute that she was right. I continued to have lots of seizures and she continued to worry and we made no progress for a long time. It took about a decade, but my gram’s words finally sank in. After I passed through the “I know everything” stage of my life, I started taking care of myself. Amazingly, I had fewer and fewer seizures and eventually my epilepsy was under control. She was right all along. Her nagging and worrywarting saved my life, in more ways than one, but especially in regard to my seizures. So in my gram’s memory, I’d like to wish a very Happy Mother’s Day to all you nags and worrywarts out there. Keep on nagging and worrying. Your kids will sigh, roll their eyes, and maybe even make faces behind your back (or so I’ve heard), but someday they will thank their lucky stars every single day that they were blessed to be loved so much by a nagging, worrying mother … or grandmother.

Mother: World’s toughest job Recently I watched a video of a job interview that was done via a web cam. Potential candidates for the job listened to the interviewer as he described the job, which included the following job conditions and requirements: Not just a job, the most important job. Requirements are extensive skills needed; medical, finance, culinary and more Stand up most of the time 24 hours a day seven days a week No breaks, you get to eat after everyone else is done Work all holidays and the work load actually goes up Pays nothing but the rewards can be immeasurable Each one interviewed could not believe the terrible requirements of the job and said the conditions might even be illegal. Each one told the interviewer no way they wanted that terrible job, with the cruel working conditions and no pay! Then the interviewer revealed what the job was … it was mother. Today’s mothers have it a

bit easier than those 100 years ago. I am continually interested in the lives of women that came to settle the West End of Clallam County to make their home. In a May 1953 Forks Forum, R.O. Whittier wrote in a letter to the editor about his mother’s journey from Texas to finally the Pacific Northwest in the late 1800s. The family ended up settling in what is now Forks. Martha Weir Whittier was born in 1853 in a wagon train on the Santa Fe Trail. She joined a brother and sister and her parents as they traveled from Bowie County, Texas, to California — the journey took them two years. Martha’s family eventually came to Sequim and after her marriage to Merrill Whittier, she moved to the Forks Prairie around 1900. Her first home was built on a half mile square of land which now includes the entire town of Forks and surrounding residential areas. It was a dwelling made of logs hauled with oxen to the prairie. The 1953 letter states that a brass plate was placed at the intersection, where the stop light is today, recognizing the location of the first Whittier home. If anyone remembers this plate or what happened to it, please give the Forum a call. At the time the log home was

the only building on the north side of the Forks Prairie. A double fireplace of clay and wood provided both heat and cooking facilities. Water was drawn by hand with a rope and bucket on a wooden drum. Cooking for Martha was endless, year in and year out, and everyone had a good appetite. It was a tough life for women but with her talent for cooking with the skillet and the rolling pin, her skills were highly respected. From her home Martha had an unobstructed view of the whole Forks Prairie; many horses, a tame elk, dogs, cows, chickens and crops. The air was full of geese and the rivers full of fish. The Forks Prairie was the end of the Pysht Trail and a haven for the weary traveler. With Mother’s Day this Sunday, we thank all mothers for their hard work, sacrifices and unconditional love … 365 days a year. Christi Baron, editor

Cancer survivors and their caregivers came together last Saturday for the annual Cancer Survivors Brunch. It was held at the Congregational Church in Forks. Berlinda James, center back, was the guest speaker. James is a 15-month oral cancer survivor. As a Stage 1 oral cancer survivor, she is rare. Oral cancer is too often diagnosed much too late. James urges everyone to see their dentist regularly and ask to be screened. Early detection is the key. Submitted photo

Master Gardeners visit school WSU Clallam County Master Gardeners visited several Forks Elementary second-grade classrooms last Wednesday. The program works to motivate young people to grow their own food. The program is in its 20th season. It increases knowledge about a variety of plants, increases awareness of the importance of plants in human lives and provides hands-on experience in starting plants from seeds. Through the illustration of the “Herbie, the Bean Plant” puppet, students learned about plant parts and the growing cycle. Each student plants a bean, radish, corn, pea and sunflower seed in a clear “root viewer” container whereby they can observe the seeds’ germination and root, stem and leaf development. Here Mr. Ponce looks on as students plant their root viewers. Photo Christi Baron

Saving Ed Sandy

By Christi Baron A few years ago, Forks resident Chris Ford shared a photo on Facebook. It was of a group of men that included his father Hugh Ford. Chris posed the question, “Who were the other men and why had they had the photo taken?” Over time friends added the names of who they thought the men were but nobody had a clue what the occasion was. While going through the Forum archives a few weeks ago I just happened to find the photo and several others. They told an amazing story, just perfect for Mother’s Day. Here is the miraculous story of Edwin J. Sandy and a group of men from the little town of Forks that refused to give up, until they returned to a mother a most precious thing, her child. In November 1952, 17-yearold Edwin Sandy came to the Goodman Creek area with his uncles on an elk hunting trip. Sandy lived in Seattle with his mother, step-father and 7-yearold brother. It was not his first time hunting and he was excited about the trip. Sandy and his two uncles arrived at what would be their camp on Saturday, Nov. 15. It was about 1.5 miles from the Nansen Anderson home. At 7 a.m. on Sunday the three set out for a day of hunting. After a while, they stopped to take a rest and Sandy ran ahead a bit to check out the edge of the clearing. The two older men got ready to move on and called to Sandy. He didn’t answer so they thought they would just meet up with him later at camp. Later when they got back to

camp and he was not there, they reported to Anderson that they thought he was lost. Nansen and Charles Anderson searched near Mosquito Creek until about 3 a.m. and at 6 a.m. notified the sheriff that Sandy was missing. It was reported to his mother in Seattle that her son was lost in the woods. The weather was too bad to call in help from helicopters so canoes started patrolling the Hoh River looking for him. At the time of his disappearance, Sandy was wearing Levis, a flannel shirt and light boots; he had left his coat at camp. He had his rifle and five bullets. Late on Tuesday, Forks residents Gene Fraker, Henry Cooper, Paul Atkinson, Hughie Ford and Hollum Hunley left LaPush for Toleak Point. They carried radio equipment. They reported they had found tracks on the beach and it appeared the person had fallen down a number of times. On Wednesday afternoon, J.L. McDonald and James Mansfield left LaPush to make their way through the woods toward Goodman Creek.

LaPush residents look on as Sandy is taken off the surf boat. From left, are Nansen Anderson, Hugh Ford, Orby Jones, Fred Sands, J.L. McDonald, Jim Silcox, Hollum Hunley, Burrel Cheadle, Dick Durboraw, Wayne Roberts and Dan Mathison. Photos Forks Forum archives

On Thursday, day four, hope for Sandy’s survival was fading fast. Burrel Cheadle and Don Mathison, Forks loggers, set out for a last look for Sandy. Finding footprints, they began yelling to each other as they walked along the creek and they heard a voice — it was Sandy — he was sitting on a tree root. Cheadle took off his wool underwear and put them on Sandy and built a fire. Hearing a boat motor at the mouth of the creek, it was Hunley and Charlie Anderson, and Hunley called out on his radio that Sandy was alive.

A Coast Guard surf boat was sent from LaPush to the mouth of Goodman Creek and the search party brought Sandy to the boat. He was taken to LaPush and then Quillayute Air Station then onto Seattle and home. Although Sandy had been five days in the woods, he was in fairly good shape after some warming up and food. After no food for five days, he had lost 40 pounds. It was thought he would not have made it another night. Ed Sandy’s mother wrote a letter to Nansen Anderson and in it she said, “I am writing this to try and thank you for all you have done, in the search for my son. My brothers told me all you’ve done and gone through and the words “Thank You” and “God Bless You” don’t seem like very much, but they

So I wondered if after all these years was Ed Sandy still alive and so I found him and called him. Ed Sandy just celebrated his 80th birthday last month. Of his experience he said, “When it started getting dark, I fired my five shots, hoping someone would hear them, but they didn’t.” Sandy said he did go hunting again but has never been back to Forks. He now lives in Oregon. “Although I never saw them again, every once in a while I think about those guys that saved me. My mother was so appreciative of the community of Forks.”

‘Ancient’ tablets found

An Olympic Corrections Center crew, under the direction of Ron Howell and Scott DePew, spent some time last week completely making over the Forks Old Fashioned Fourth of July float. The group showed quite an artistic flair with their placement of new float coverings. The float makes its first parade season outing this weekend at the Irrigation Festival in Sequim. As in recent years the Forks float will honor a Hometown Hero from the Sequim area. The Fourth of July is just around the corner! Photo Christi Baron

OK, they are not really ancient tablets but they are from 1976 and sort of interesting. As Joni Evans had some work done at her property for her new home, it was discovered that when cement rounds were placed for her former mobile home years ago newspapers from the Forks Forum and the Peninsula Daily News were placed down first. The newspapers have long disintegrated but the print has transferred to the cement and it is backwards. Evans is researching how to seal the cement so the print stays and plans to use them as landscaping. Evans lost her former home in a fire in June 2014. Photo Christi Baron Forks City Councilman John Hillcar answers questions after his presentation to at the Forks Chamber of Commerce meeting Wednesday, April 29. Hillcar gave a slideshow presentation on a draft ordinance that the city council is considering adopting regarding legalizing WATV’s (specially modified wheeled all-terrain vehicles) within the city limits on roads that have a speed limit of 35 mph or under. The draft ordinance appears in the legal section of today’s paper. Photo Christi Baron

SHOULD STATE LAWMAKERS

RAISE YOUR TAXES SO GOVERNOR INSLEE CAN PAY BACK HIS UNION SUPPORTERS? In the 2012 election, big union bosses representing powerful government unions contributed $4.7 MILLION TO GOVERNOR

INSLEE’S CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNOR.

Opposed to political pay backs and higher taxes? Call the legislative hotline and ask lawmakers to reject the House budget.

And now he’s trying to return the favor with your tax dollars. At least $1 billion of the $1.5 billion tax increase Inslee and Democrats want in this budget would be used to give unionized state employees a hefty pay raise. Which means more dues money for the unions and more campaign contributions for Jay Inslee.
