Remembering 2,977 Americans on 9-11 Patriot Day, National Day of Service and Remembrance 2015

On Sept. 11, please join with us, Forks VFW Post 9106, in honor of Patriot Day and National Day of Service. With remembrance we reflect on the 2,977 Americans who tragically lost their lives in the event that would forever change America. Since that horrible day, we’ve fought in two wars, Iraq and Afghanistan. Thousands of our nation’s finest have paid the ultimate pride for the cost of our freedom. Thousands more have returned home bearing the physical and mental scars of battle. When terrorists attacked us 14 years ago, their hope was to weaken America and dampen her spirit. Instead, America united … we rediscovered our devotion to our country and to our neighbors

that day. We boldly stood together as a nation and refused to succumb to fear or despair. It truly became one of our finest hours. Though there is no doubt that the memory of the innocent Americans who perished as a result of the attacks on that fateful day will remain etched in our minds, the heroic acts of that day will remain just as vivid. In the wake of the ruthless attacks and the utter chaos that followed, our nation stood tall. We witnessed rescue personnel and ordinary citizens become true heroes that day, in some cases, sacrificing their own lives to help complete strangers. As the dust settled, and America rallied her forces, a new generation of service members answered the call to duty. These men and women selflessly put their lives on the line to answer that call and have helped to protect us from such merciless attacks. There is no question that America

still faces threats to our way of life from overseas and right here on American soil. However, Sept. 11 serves as an eternal reminder that we will act to ensure that forces of ignorance and hatred never prevail, and that we never allow anyone to take away our freedom. America always will stand united and proud in the face of our enemies. Please take a moment to reflect on everything that’s changed since Sept. 11, 2001. Let us honor the victims and those who’ve selflessly sacrificed to protect and defend our freedom by recommitting ourselves to our families, to our communities and to our country. That’s what makes America great. That’s what makes America a symbol of hope. That’s the best way to honor the memory of those lost due to the events of Sept. 11. God Bless you and God Bless America. The officers and members of Forks VFW Post 9106.

ECRWSS - BOXHOLDER

If it seems as though the population of Forks has increased this week, that probably is because it has. With multiple events and activities taking place from Wednesday through Sunday the number of added people on the streets and in the stores is sure to be noticeable. The really big draw will be the Forever Twilight in Forks event. The Forks Chamber reports that around 300 tickets have been pre-sold to VITs, Very Important Twilighters. These ticket holders will get special goody bags and entry into a number of exciting activities and events. The fans coming the farthest are from South Africa! And with Stephenie Meyer coming to town on Saturday, there is no way to tell how big the crowds may get. And if that isn’t enough, the Washington State Supreme Court will be in town on Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. there will be a panel discussion at Peninsula College’s Forks branch and at 5:30 p.m. a public welcoming reception hosted by Peninsula College, Peninsula College Foundation and various members of the bar. On Thursday at 8:50 a.m. there will be an ofﬁcial welcome of the justices to the RAC, 35 N. Forks Ave., and at 9 a.m. the community will

Three Rivers to launch new outreach campaign Three Rivers Fire Department is launching a community outreach campaign In an effort to provide the best services to the community, volunteer firefighters of Clallam County Fire District 6 will begin visiting residents of the district on Saturday, Sept. 12, and Saturday, Sept. 19, in hopes of achieving the following goals: • Meet the people they serve, introduce residents to the department and encourage new volunteers to join the force. • Assess access to properties to ensure the best possible response to a potential call and note any available water sources and firefighting hazards. • Deliver earthquake and tsunami emergency preparedness handouts. • Request comments about residents’ abilities to endure a prolonged power outage and/or isolation from town. • Gather community opinion about the

possibility of having the fire station serve as a temporary emergency shelter. A copy of the handout and more details about everything mentioned above can be found on a new website, www.3riversfire. org. Please check it out. The department encourages questions, comments, concerns or preferences you may have regarding the visits or the department at large. You also can use the website to request new smoke detectors and/or batteries and schedule a time for one of the volunteers to help with the installation if needed. Everyone’s input is very important, especially since grants will be sought to help fund any necessary upgrades to the building. All other funding will come from existing department revenue. No additional taxes will be sought for this project. This

Publisher John Brewer to retire in October John Brewer, who guides the Peninsula Daily News as its publisher and editor, will retire in early October, closing out almost 18 years at the PDN and ﬁve decades in journalism. Since 2013, Brewer also has been in charge of two weekly newspapers on the North Olympic Peninsula, the Sequim Gazette and Forks Forum; the monthly Olympic Homes-Land real estate

magazine; and those publications’ active websites. The PDN and the two weeklies are owned by Sound Publishing Inc., the largest publisher of community newspapers in the state. Brewer will be succeeded as publisher of the three newspapers and magazine by Terry R. Ward, 43, CEO of KPC Media Group Inc. in northeastern Indiana. Ward will take over Sept.

is part of a process to determine whether or not the community wants and needs such a shelter. There also will be a suggestion box installed near the entrance to the fire station so that residents who do not have access to a computer still can share their thoughts and opinions. Or, if you would rather discuss a topic in person, attend the commissioners meetings which are at 7 p.m. every third Monday of each month at the Three Rivers Fire Station.

Some big changes in fishing regulations

Court Report

Editor

If you have watched the fishing regulations on the West End rivers this summer, you have seen some very fast changes. We saw low water closures, closures due to lack of enforcement and extended closures to allow weak runs to make it up stream safely. Part of this is due to extreme dry weather. But in a larger part it is due to what fish and wildlife managers call “adaptive management.” This means as conditions change and fish runs change throughout the season the regulations may change also. In the past, Fish and Wildlife has used a “set it and forget it” system, set it in the spring and see what happens, if it leads to trouble, try again next year. In the long run this type of management will lead to more fishing opportunity and healthier runs, in the short term it will be as confusing as heck. Fish and Wildlife and Olympic National Park need to find a better way to get the word out about regulation changes; in the mean time here are a few changes that you should keep an eye on: Quillayute River, Richwine bar (river park) to mouth is now closed to keeping any wild salmon. Hoh River will remain closed to keeping kings until Oct. 1. Also, if you check the current state regulations, you will find a reduced limit on wild salmon in all West End rivers. Check the emergency regulations, there are more. Jim Kerr, Forks

Help in the storm

Our family recently vacationed on the Olympic Peninsula, staying two nights at a local cabin in Forks. We left on the morning of Saturday, Aug. 29, in the midst of the peninsula’s torrential rain and high wind storm. We took Route 101 back to the Seattle area and left for home in western New York on Sunday. Along Route 101, we encountered several trees that had fallen across the highway. Men in cars all proceeded to help clear the road while a few men (whom I presume were local inhabitants) always emerged with axes and chainsaws in hand. I cannot tell you how thankful I am that local residents were willing and able to help total strangers (often tourists) and how the entire ordeal strengthened my belief that when we all work together for a common goal, anything is possible. Moreover, it highlighted the value of self-reliance — what has made our country great! I will always remember the beauty of the Olympic Peninsula and the grit and community spirit of your residents. Thank you! Janice Nichols, Lockport, NY

THE REAL FORKS

Who loves Ford? (Not this Ford)

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford Due to a recent schedule change, I have been subjected to the cruel and unusual punishment of driving my husband’s quirky Ford truck to work. Quirky is my nice way of saying that his truck is ridiculous. For whatever reason (perhaps because he’s insane?), my husband loves his truck. I despise that I have to drive it 40 miles south of Forks every day. For starters, the truck is really old. It may have been the very first truck off the assembly line. OK, obviously I’m exaggerating that. It was realistically more like the third or fourth truck. Because it is so old, it doesn’t have any of the modern vehicle conveniences. The truck is missing things such as power windows, power locks, power anything, windshield wipers with more than one speed, cruise control, brakes, etc. Basically I’m driving the Flintstone car … with a floorboard … for now. Another “quirky” thing about the truck is the bright light business. Turning on the bright lights requires me to step on a little pedal on the floorboard (which may or may not even be there tomorrow). Who thought this was going to be a good idea? My feet already were outnumbered by pedals in an average stick shift! In this truck, there are TWICE as many pedals as feet. That’s not even counting the emergency brake … because it doesn’t work so I didn’t add it into the equation. Also, there is the issue of the speedometer. The little pointer thingy bounces around so much that I have absolutely no idea how fast I am driving at any given time. If I were pulled over, here’s how it would go: Police officer, “Do you know how fast you were going?” Me, “Probably somewhere between 5 and 85 MPH, but I could be wrong.” Police officer, “Have you been drinking?” Me, “No. I’m just quirky.” As if I didn’t have enough reasons to hate the truck, we also spend more money in lightbulbs per week than the truck is worth … which isn’t a lot either way, but still! Apparently, the lights all get together nightly to decide which one goes out the next day. The other morning, while leaving for work, I noticed that the right blinker light was out. With no time to change it (and also I don’t know how to) I thought to myself, “No problem. I just won’t turn right if a cop is following me.” A state patrol started following me a mile before I got to work … where I turn right. Such is my luck. Despite all of this, I am trying to remain optimistic. I know that I should be thankful that my family (technically speaking) has two running vehicles. After all, there are people out there who have to travel by donkey. Hey, wait … If you have a donkey that you would like to sell me for transportation purposes (or for questions or comments), e-mail me at christyrasmussen@yahoo.com. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLICY

The Forks Forum belongs to the readers of the newspaper. The opinion section is the place where reader thoughts appear as letters to the editor. Letters longer than 300 words are sent back to the writer for revision. We only edit for spelling and grammar. Any substantial changes are sent to the letter writer for revision. While we strive to publish all letters, those focusing on local issues take precedence over statewide or national issues. No personal attacks or unsubstantiated allegations are accepted. Those letters are returned to the writer with an explanation why the letter is not going to run in its existing form. Deadline for letters to appear is noon the Monday before publication. Letters are published on a space-available basis, with time-sensitive letters on local issues taking first priority. There are times, therefore, when a letter might not appear for a week or two. Letters to the editor can be mailed to the Forks Forum, PO Box 300, Forks, WA 8331; e-mailed to editor@forksforum.com; faxed to 374-5739; or dropped off at our office at 44 S. Forks Ave. All letters must have a name, address and telephone number for verification purposes. Only the writer’s name and hometown are printed in the newspaper.

COMMENTARY DOGGONE NEWS Last Thursday afternoon the Forks Forum ofﬁce was sort of the happiest place on earth, sort of like Disneyland without all the people and activities. It was about 2 p.m. when I got a call from Ruby Swagerty, owner of Three Rivers Resort. She was calling to tell me that Brie, the 9-year-old Boston terrier that had been missing since Aug. 25, had been found. Brie’s people, Clark and Debbie Green of Sequim, have been camping with Brie at Three River for the past nine years and were devastated that she had gone missing from their camp site.

NOW IN SAD DOG NEWS On Thursday around 9:30 p.m., Deborah Cutrell was rushing to get her husband Steve to the hospital. The Cutrells live on Elderberry Avenue, near the school, and as this medical emergency was unfolding a white Ford pickup drove down the street and intentionally swerved to hit the Cutrells’ little dog Sweatpea. A man who was nearby said it deﬁnitely appeared to him that the vehicle intentionally hit the animal. Cutrell said, “She was a huge part of my heart. If anyone knows of who did it, please let me know.

had ever been scanned in the future, that chip could have helped get her back home. A few months ago two Bassett hounds were taken from the Forks area all the way to Puyallup. A veterinarian scanning one of them discovered they actually belonged to someone in Forks. Happily, the dogs were returned to their people. In England dog theft is such a problem it has been decided that by April 2016 all dogs in that country must be chipped. According to ﬁgures, nearly 60 percent of the 8 million dogs in the U.K. already are chipped. There also is a push for vets to do a mandatory scan when animals are seen. Many cities in the U.S. are following the U.K. and some communities already require micro-chipping along with dog licensing. It just so happens that this Saturday Dr. Pat’s pet clinic, 41 Bogachiel Way, will be in Forks for a low-cost vaccination clinic and she also is offering a micro-chip special of $25. It might be a perfect time to make sure your pet comes home again. Christi Baron, Editor

Clallam Bay 34, Crescent 14 Peninsula Daily News CLALLAM BAY — Cal Ritter had high praise for the Clallam Bay Bruins after they opened the season with a 34-14 home win over Crescent. “I was impressed,” Clallam Bay’s sixth-year coach said after Friday’s win. “Those first two quarters that we played are probably two of the best we’ve had since I’ve been coaching.” Ritter was thrilled by how the Bruins who were playing new roles performed, particularly first-time quarterback Alan Greene. “I had a couple kids that did really well, but the one that really impressed me was Alan Greene,” Ritter said. “He stepped up and led the team.” Ritter estimated Greene threw for more than 150 yards, and completed passes to several receivers, including Sam Signor, Kyle Keys, Caiton Smith and Martin Cummins. “The other player who had a phenomenal game was Clayton Willis,” Ritter said. “He ran the ball hard. Every single run of his was up and down the field, it was with purpose.” Ritter liked the defense played by both Greene and

Willis. The Bruins’ speed was too much for Crescent, which was without its fastest players due to minor injuries. First-year Loggers coach Brian Shimko said that at least a few of those players — K.C. Spencer, Jakob Baillargeon and

Eric Emery — likely would have played if Friday’s game was a Northwest Football League matchup. (That will come next month in Joyce.) Despite the loss, Shimko was happy with how the Loggers played. Noah Leonard caught

two of those passes for 36 yards, and McCabe Story had one catch for 38 yards. Clallam Bay returns to action with a road game against Rainier Christian on Friday, while the Loggers host Muckleshoot on Saturday.

Vashon Island 12, Forks 7

Peninsula Daily News VASHON — The Spartans fell in the final minute of their season opener, as the Pirates scored with 20 seconds left. “It could have gone a lot worse, it could gone a lot better,” first-year Forks coach Craig Shetterly said of Friday’s game. “All things considered, I feel good about it. We wanted to see how the kids would react to the pace

of the game. They responded really well, even from the get-go. You could sense their belief got better every single snap.” The Spartans’ defense forced six turnovers — four fumbles and two interceptions — and Jack Dahlgren had three sacks. “He is just an unbelievable football player,” Shetterly said of Dahlgren. Cole Baysinger took most of the snaps at quarterback

for Forks and completed 9 of 15 passes for 138 yards and an interception. He also picked off a pass on defense. “Cole made some good throws,” Shetterly said. “He always finds himself around the ball, especially on defense.” Kenny Gale scored the Spartans’ only touchdown with a 33-yard run late in the fourth quarter. He finished with 134 yards on 19 carries. Jae Eastman added 21 yards

on the ground. Keishaun Ramsey, Austin Whiting and Nathan Williamson all caught passes for Forks. “I have to give a lot credit to that team,” Shetterly said of Vashon Island. “They are well-coached well in a lot of ways and it’s a difficult defense to deal with.” Forks hosts Chimacum on Friday night.

Larkin more than a backyard chicken

By Christi Baron Due to their vulnerability, the average life expectancy of a backyard chicken is only about three years, although with special protection and care it would not be unreasonable to expect them to live twice that long. The chickens that end up as nuggets? Well, their days are numbered. The bottom line is, it is not easy to be a chicken.

again and this time Larkin flew and she landed in the middle of the pond with the ducks. As I was running to observe her fate, the hawk took one more dive and missed. Larkin had survived the attack but she was in the middle of the pond that is over my head. I could imagine the headline, “Forks Woman Drowns Trying to Save Chicken.” I just watched, waiting to witness her death.

She spent some time watching television and I think she really enjoyed “Dancing With the Stars”

“I use to say, ‘when pigs ﬂy’ now I say ‘when chickens swim.’ ”

It was the spring of 2005, when after running an errand I returned to my desk to find a box sitting there. My co-workers explained, “Tom Larkin left you a chicken.” Peering in the box I found a very mauled young chick. They added that Larkin had been driving down the road when he noticed dogs attacking this bird; he had rescued it and thought of me (great). So naturally I named her Larkin. Larkin was in pretty bad shape, she spent her first few months in a cage in the house. As she re-“cooped” she spent some time watching television and I think she really enjoyed “Dancing With the Stars” — it was the first season but sadly no contestants ever danced the Funky Chicken. I also had a new golden retriever puppy that was overly

Then a miracle happened — she started to swim kind of a butterfly stroke, as I encouraged her from the shore, she swam right over to me. She had swum about 20 feet, I scooped her up and after getting dried off, she was back to the safety of her condo. I use to say, “when pigs fly” now I say “when chickens swim.” Time passed and Larkin seemed lonely so I decided one day to test this pecking order thing and took her to the pen with the other chickens. I put her down on the floor of the chicken house, I figured I could pick her up if things got ugly, as the resident chickens came to check her out Larkin did the pecking, pecking order was established. Larkin died one day in 2012, of natural causes, she was seven and a half — not bad for a backyard chicken.

excited about the chickens outside, so when the puppy ate her dinner I put Larkin next to her to desensitize her. When the puppy got a little too close and Larkin pecked her on the nose a couple times, her interest in chickens waned. Finally it was time for Larkin to go outside. It is never good to mix old and new chickens, that old pecking order thing is real; the hierarchical system of social organization in chickens with real pecking can sometimes get nasty. So Larkin got her own chicken condo. But, she was lonely so one day I

took an egg from the other chickens and mixed it with Larkin’s eggs and soon Larkin Junior was born.

“There was commotion in the yard, ducks were scattering, then I saw the red-tail hawk . . .” Larkin was a great mother, perhaps a little over zealous when teaching Junior how to scratch, sometimes scratching him up too, but she loved motherhood. Larkin and Junior

even attended Family Literacy day at the Forks Library where the theme was Reading Is for the Birds. One day when Larkin and Junior were free ranging, Junior disappeared. Several days later my golden retriever retrieved what was left of him. Larkin put on a brave beak and went on being a chicken. Then several days later, trouble. There was commotion in the yard, ducks were scattering, then I saw the red-tail hawk, it swooped down at Larkin, she ducked, the ducks flew in the pond. The hawk came around

A Short Biography By Robert Hall Part 3 At home near the beach we could often see orcas rolling through the strait offshore. We called them “blackfish” and rarely gave them a second thought. They also are known as killer whales. Orcas Island was an idyllic place for children during the Depression. True, we were rather isolated, depending on the ferry to reach the mainland. There was no drug store, dental clinic, bowling alley, hotel or other amenities of an urban society. Money was scarce as it

was everywhere else and most of the island people lived on small farms with a cow or two, a few chickens, maybe a pig, a team of horses if fortunate, and a huge garden. This may well describe places like the West End as well. We got our mail via a small boat called the Osage which arrived from Bellingham. That little vessel also delivered our small can of cream to the creamery in Friday Harbor and the monthly check from it provided a substantial portion of the family income. On warm summer nights my brother and I would go to the

beach. Once while we were digging under a gigantic boulder, we unearthed a skull. We put it on a stick and yelling like two happy cannibals charged into the living room where our parents and grandparents were enjoying a peaceful visit. Needless to say we made a hasty exit. The skull was never identified. Speculation ran the gamut, from an Indian to a victim of foul play during the days of the smuggling of liquor. On Dec. 7, 1941, a “date which will live in infamy” for most of us elders, the Japanese launched a surprise attack on our naval base at Pearl

Harbor. Our superintendent, Nellie Milton, my idea of the ideal teacher, called all the high school students into the study hall. About 50 students listened to a somber President Roosevelt ask the Congress to declare war against the empire of Japan for its dastardly attack on Pearl. From that day forward we boys vowed to get revenge against the diabolical Japanese and none wanted to be the last to enlist. Soon we visualized them as little yellow men with glasses and protruding teeth, such was the power of propaganda. Some of us were to realize later on that

they were rather formidable fighters as well. In my senior year an island grad came back to the high school and described his role with the Marines on Guadalcanal in rather vivid terms. It was then I decided to join America’s legendary premier fighting force. I joined the Corps with the permission of my parents. After I graduated I wrote a letter to the recruiting office in Seattle requesting an early call to arms, but was told I had to be 18 first. When the next war came, I was not nearly as gungho to answer the call.

Looking Back . . .

In this clipping from the July 26, 2006 issue of Forks Forum, Forks library director Theresa Osborne (right) tells Meyer how the publication of a Forks-set book has spurred reading among the youth of the town. Osborne presented an honorary Forks Library card to Meyer.

Stephanie Meyer received a warm welcome from Forks Community Stephenie Meyer visited Forks in July 2006 to be honored by the local community for the writing of “Twilight,” the ﬁrst book in the author’s Forks-set book series. Forks mayor at the time, Nedra Reed, declared July 20, 2006, a Stephenie Meyer Day, presented a proclamation to Meyer, along with the distribution of garlic seeds to local residents. Forks Forum correspondent Carole Rose quoted Reed, who was speaking at a gathering held in Meyer’s honor in Tillcum Park. “I would take exception to a few of the details but it’s quite an honor to have a nationally known novel

set in our community.” Reed told the gathering in Tillicum Park, “to my knowledge this is the first. We’re really having fun with it.” Then Forks Police Chief Mike Powell got into the role of Charlie Swan, the father of Bella Swan. As Charlie Swan was noted as not being much of a cook, Powell gave Meyer a triple-decker, peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich. The police chief also offered to gladly portray his fictional counterpart should a film version of the book be made. A reading from “Twilight” was held at the park, followed by a question and answer ses-

sion with Meyer. The party then moved downtown to the Forks Library, where Meyer autographed copies of “Twilight” for her local and visiting fans. The then Forks Chamber of Commerce Director, Marcia Bingham, took a suggestion from a Delaware family that a “Twilight” tour of Forks be established. The tour became a reality and was led by “Twilight” trivia expert, former Visitor Center manager, Mike Gurling. The chamber later turned the tour over to private entities and the tour continues today.

Quillayute school district continues to receive grant to support new teacher mentor program

Quillayute Valley School District is in its second year of receiving a grant to support new teachers. The purpose of the funding is to create a systemic program that better serves ﬁrst- and second-year teachers, as well as any new teacher from out of the state to the Forks’ schools. Several years ago, the district identiﬁed the need to create a program that would better introduce and induct teachers into the Forks’ community and schools. Elena Velasquez, a 24-year-veteran teacher, oversees the second-year program. All teachers were trained during the New Teacher Academy on Aug. 24-25. Velasquez and a team of teacher leaders designed the two days to acclimate new teachers with the following activities: took a tour of the Forks’ greater community by bus to better understand the geographical setting of where our students live, set up classrooms, worked on lesson planning for the year, learned about the Teacher Principal Evaluation Program (TPEP), as well a variety of other activities. Superintendent Diana Reaume said, “Elena Velasquez and her team created meaningful activities that

better prepared our new staff for teaching. They modeled good teaching activities, as well as gave the new staff a better introduction to the Forks community in general.” Teacher leaders who assisted with the training included Danny Kent (FHS math), Brenda King (FHS English language arts), Katie Haag (second grade), Russell Johansen (ﬁfth grade), Christina Lamphere (ﬁrst grade), Margo Peterson (FHS science), and Sarah Decker (seventhgrade ELA). Each new teacher also is assigned a mentor teacher. They are required to meet monthly during the year with focused conversations on best practices in the profession. New teachers also will have an opportunity to observe master teachers throughout the year, as well as have an opportunity to be observed by their mentors. All mentor teachers are required to attend a special training by the state prior to being in a mentor role. “The main concept of the program is to provide continuous support so that growth occurs across all levels of teaching, as well as to retain teachers in the teaching profession,” said Reaume.

WEBPA Fish and Brew slated for Oct. 10 The 19th annual West End Fish and Brew is set for Oct. 10, sponsored by West End Business and Professional Association. If you have not been a part of the annual Fish and Brew, either as a participant or a spectator, you are missing out on a chance to enjoy one of the many traditions handed down from generation to generation in the West End. Every year, our local fish smokers and home brew folks get together for a celebration of their heritage and individual talents. In the past this event has taken place at the Huckleberry Lodge and the 110 Business Park Roundhouse but, this year the event is going uptown … literally, well, actually smackdab in the center of town at the Rainforest Arts Center, 35 N. Forks Ave. The sampling by the general public of the contestants wares will take place from 1-4 p.m. and musical entertainment will be provided by local bluegrass group Loose Gravel. Entries for the smoked fish contest are judged from noon-1 p.m. Past entries have included smoked fish chowder, standard smoke fish recipes and one creative contestant served up smoked fish ice cream with corn chips. Before you turn up your nose, it was really good! Entries also are judged on presentation and many contestants have clever names for their entries, one favorite is “Cause for Divorce” smoked fish. Remember, this is a “can’t miss opportunity” so mark it on your calendar. Don’t miss this rare chance to share the very special local talents of your friends and neighbors. This is a casual event for the entire family. Those over 21 also will have a variety of local brews to sample

and for non-alcoholic beverages their will be homemade rootbeer. If you think you have smoking or brewing talents or just want to share with friends and neighbors, this is the time to do it. Entries or questions regarding smoke fish should contact Christi Baron at 374-3311. Entries or questions for home-brew and non-alcoholic beverages should contact Gordon Gibbs at 374-3346. All fish smokers should be making plans now for the Oct. 10 contest. All fish entries should arrive by 11:30 a.m. for set up and display for the official judging that will begin at noon. All brewers should get brewing their favorite batch or two and arrive prior to 1 p.m. The general public also will have the opportunity to cast their vote in the “Peoples Choice” contest. Another addition to the festivities is original art work by Jack Datisman who has created faux beer labels set to the theme of each Hickory Shirt/Heritage Days celebration. In addition to this year’s label Datisman also will have labels from the past for sale. Make this Heritage Days event part of your family experience. Come enjoy good music, good food and drink and good times with friends and neighbors, come re-discover your community.

THE HAPPY CREW’S ADVENTURE IN FILM

From left are Brit, Karsten, Don, Jamin. Photo Jane Hielman

We were invited onto the floor to dance with them all. This was unexpected and so great!” They all agreed. “But … drum roll … one night we walked out onto Shi Shi Beach, the sunset was simply amazing, but guess who didn’t have a camera! That also made it special because we could stop being photographers and just soak up the wonder of it all.” “Today we were at Cape Alava – it was not so packed as Shi Shi. We were able to feel the freedom of this area, we were advantaged in that we had a map to find the petroglyphs on the rocks, a definite advantage when hunting for a good sighting of these ancient drawings.” The team has worked together on filming in the past but this trip is special because Karsten has broughtawholenewlocaldynamic to the adventure. “Remember we are from Chicago, not the Pacific Northwest! Things are different over there,” said Don O’Brien. Jamin is the director, Brit the producer, Mark the cameraman. Karsten is the extra pair of hands, Sherpa, from the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, is skilled in ecology and a park service employee. “Very valuable asset!” said Jamin. “We wanted to capture luminescence, we were in the right place for it and the darkness fell just right. Brit found some in the water, scooped up in her hands, we were so excited but with way

Forks

too much enthusiasm we turned on the lights for the camera and guess what? Too much light turns off the lights! Lucky we all saw it!” Don said. “The best part was watching the kids grow, it was awesome, we check in with them every few days. Seeing the next generation of stewards developing a love and understanding of nature and its workings, and responsibility is awesome. We are paid, but we do what we love. Paid or unpaid it’s an adventure.“ “We do this as much as we can. Stewardship is just one of our goals. Visitor Center videos are great to make,” said Brit, with a smile. “The most important part in getting ready for the journey is about being in the mood and blending with humans and their environment. This takes some time and research. Our next job is the Big South Fork for the Tennessee Visitors’ Center,” said Don. “Whether it be surfing, adventuring, filming or waiting at the end of each project to get on home. Our families are supportive of our dreams, commitment and visions; without them it would not be possible,” said Jamin. Fo r m o r e f i l m s b y Donald O’Brien, visit www.silverfirmedia.com.

League of Women Voters to sponsor voter forums The League of Women Voters of Clallam County will sponsor five forums around the county featuring candidates and issues appearing on the November 3 general election ballot. The forum for the West End will be from 6-8:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1, at the Forks Rainforest Arts Center, 35 N. Forks Ave. This forum will consist of four panels. The first will feature candidates for port commissioner Connie Beauvais and Michael Breidenbach. The second panel will highlight Clallam County commissioner candidates Mark Ozias and Jim McEntire (McEntire cannot attend but he will send a representative). The third panel will focus on candidates for Forks City Council Jon Preston and Christina Kohout (Kohout cannot attend but will send a representative). The final panel of the evening tentatively is set to be a discussion of the proposed levy for Fire District 1. However, the League of Women Voters so far has been unable to identify a speaker to represent opposition to this levy request. A representative of organized opposition to this measure is invited to contact Voter Services Committee co-

We Deliver to the West End

chairman Paula Barnes as soon as possible at 360-808-5876. This discussion will only take place if the League can present speakers who support and oppose the measure. Members of the public are encouraged to attend these forums and bring questions for the candidates. At each forum, audience members who are candidates for other offices, including those that are not in contested primary races, will be asked to stand and introduce themselves. Time will be allowed at the conclusion of each forum for one-on-one Q&A with the candidates. The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan organization whose purpose is to promote the informed and active participation of citizens in government. For the first time, League volunteers will video record these forums and links to the recordings will be available at the League’s website at www.lwvcla.org. Don’t forget to register to vote! For more information about these forums, voter registration and the League of Women Voters, go to the League’s website at www. lwvcla.org. Ballots will be mailed on Oct. 14 and must be postmarked no later than election day, Tuesday, Nov. 3.

By Jane Hielman Sunsets West Co-op, Clallam Bay Four tired and spent young people begged me to feed them dinner! I wasn’t sure they were up to holding a fork! But we went ahead! As they slowly revived, we started talking, and … they told me they had had two funfilled weeks (with five days still to go) trekking and playing in the National Park — Rialto to Neah Bay. They hoped the fun would never end, as they are following nine young people, (two of whom have had to pull out), now seven young folk as they spend several weeks in the park learning to be stewards of nature. “The young people are from all over, they stay with the adventure, learning to rise above the challenges presented, while we four, camera and film crew, drop in and out on their journey!” said Jamin Townsley. “We are from Chicago, Chicago, Detroit and Port Angeles and our mission is to film a video for the National Park Visitors’ Center. The video is to inspire folk to volunteer in the park,” he continued. “America is grounded in volunteerism!” said the “Unique Miss Dixie,” according to the Readers’ Digest of many years back. These folk are hired to reinforce the same message! “The kids are with a group calledSCA,StudentConservation Association, their journey is a collaboration between the parks, which supply the wisdom, NOAA the money and the students the effort. Steve Radkin taught them about the ecology and biology of the coast. He is from the Port Angeles Park Service. A few others coaches came along on the trail as well: It is the 99th Anniversary of the Park Service. According to Karsten Turry, the crewman from Port Angeles, “We were surfing on Sunday with a group from P.A., it was really cool, it is not something I usually do. It is great to do something new. That’s my adventure!” Brit said she tried surfing, too. “My first attempt, I felt successful — it was so much fun.” Jamin said, “We got in so much good hiking! (Translated into: Catching up with the kids and other stakeholders!) “In Neah Bay we had a treat, we got to ride along with the Neah Bay canoe team, in the water! The Makah Queen came along on the canoe with us. So cool! We were invited along to the Community Center to the Native Dance practice for Makah Days.

Invest in people By John Leavitt It’s the start of a brand new school year and little Johnny is all excited as he’s looking forward to catching up with all his classmates from years prior. Johnny catches the bus and sees the neighborhood kids on the bus as they ride to school. They get to school safely and the bell rings and the kids hurry to their new class. Mrs. Smith is Johnny’s new teacher. She is all excited about meeting the kids in her class. She asks all of them to tell her their names and a little bit about their summer. The kids finish up with their names and what they did over the past couple months. After this is done they go over her classroom rules and then Mrs. Smith says, “Class there are a lot of things we’ll be doing this year and I’d like you to make sure that you get this note that I’m handing out home to your parents. Have them look at it and fill it out if they can help and please bring it back to me as soon as possible.” Johnny is given his and sees that there are a couple field-trips and there’s this one that makes Johnny’s heart hurt right away.

He noticed that there’s a day for his dad to come be with him at school and then another one for his mom to be there as well. Johnny’s heart is hurting now because his mom can’t be there. Johnny’s parents divorced during the summer and his mom now lives in another state. I know that this hits home unfortunately to too many. So how do we make a difference for Johnny or Sally, who has her own story? We step in and volunteer, it doesn’t have to be a year commitment. It might be one day for a couple hours as male or female figure depending on the event. Yes, I’m talking about volunteering; it doesn’t have to be just at school as you know. It can be at a community event, at the hospital, fire department, as a coach … you get the idea. I believe if we invest in people, especially kids, it helps out more than we realize. I see it as investing in our future as well. I believe it goes beyond just that parent, to siblings, possibly a coach or neighbor. What is the age limit of a volunteer? I don’t believe there is a specific answer because it

depends on the type of event. A small child can hand out water at a community function and an older person can volunteer almost anywhere. Time invested in Johnny today may keep him from getting in a fight at school or may save your house from being broke into years later. Then there is little Sally, who has a gift to play the piano and needs a ride to a retirement home on Thursdays where she loves to play for the residents. And let’s just say that Sally goes on to be a classic pianist. To get involved as a volunteer in the Forks Schools you will need to fill out a volunteer packet that you can pick up at the district office. I did it last year as there was an event coming up that my niece Kim and her cousin were talking about. I joked about being a rent-a-dad and yet was serious at the same time. Next thing I knew I was sitting with several kids eating a doughnut. I had a great time and the kids looked up to me … literally being 6 feet 6 inches and all. There was an uncle that came in for his nephew and an older brother or cousin that came in and others as well. If you have questions about helping out at the elementary
