Lions Club’s friendship benefit the West End hungry For the past 35 years the Forks Lions Club has traded firewood for produce with the Quincy Lions Club. This friendship and camaraderie between the two groups speaks volumes of each group’s dedication to their communities. The Quincy Lions sell the firewood to raise money for scholarships and local projects. The Forks Lions donate the produce to local food banks in Forks, Clallam Bay and LaPush. The annual exchange took place last weekend. The Forks Lions were lucky enough to unload the food in the sunshine Sunday morning.

hopefully meet up with emergency responders which he did and guided them back to the ravine. A Life Flight helicopter was called but once it landed in a clearing 300 feet from the ravine it suffered a breakdown and couldn’t take off. McClanahan eventually was brought off the mountain in a special trailer towed by an ATV. It was now 11:30 p.m., he was loaded in to a waiting ambulance and taken to the medical center. Larson said, “I was in the right place at the right time. I think this all happened for a reason. There was a reason I was up there, it just wasn’t the reason I thought.” McClanahan is a long time Forks resident. He and his wife, Judy, operate McClanahan Lumber.

slipped off the trail and down a 30-foot ravine. He and the ATV rolled down the steep embankment and the vehicle ended up landing on top of him. The impact severely injured McClanahan’s head and neck. The good news is that although he spent most of Wednesday, Oct. 22, in surgery at Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello, he’s expected to recover, said his son, Ray McClanahan of Scappoose, Ore. After Larson found McClanahan he realized he had forgotten his cell phone. Telling McClanahan he would have to leave him, Larson returned to his home, called 9-1-1 and got some blankets. By the time Larson returned, McClanahan had taken a turn for the worse. Larson decided to leave McClanahan to

Swanlake, Idaho, resident Aaron Larson is being credited with saving the life of Forks resident Larry McClanahan. Thankfully for McClanahan, Larson decided to go hunting Tuesday, Oct. 21, in the mountains east of his Swanlake area home in southern Bannock County. Although Larson had bagged a three-point, he decided to look around for additional game. The 25-year-old Larson was riding his four-wheeler when something caught his eye in the ravine adjacent to the mountain trail he was taking to Stockton Road. It’s likely that because Larson stopped to investigate a dull light he saw shining at the bottom of the darkened ravine, McClanahan, 74, is alive today. McClanahan’s all-terrain vehicle had

Dear Editor, This letter is in response to all the attention that depression and other mental illness are getting since the recent loss of a wonderful funny man, Robin Williams. So many people say, “watch for signs” but as a survivor of liver disease, cancer and chemo treatments that left me bedridden for 18 months and then a very serious suicide attempt of my own, my heart goes out to the survivors who lost this wonderful funny man. Speaking on behalf of us who suffer deeply from depression, sometimes there are no signs to see. We are the clowns, the life of the party, quick-witted sensitive ones. About 10 years ago the community lost a wonderful, kind, hilarious, honest and artistic young man to suicide. His death took everyone by surprise. It left everyone wondering what we could have done or should have done. He was not a drinker or drug user, there was

nothing to indicate anything was wrong. He always was laughing on the outside but apparently crying on the inside. This young man’s death had a terrible effect on my own son, causing him to change forever. Now, I hardly know him. Time does not heal all wounds — you just get used to getting used to it. I make sure I tell all my friends and family I love them every time I see them. I fight back tears and put on my best smile and go on with life such as it is. A thoughtless person said that if a person takes their own life they go to Hell. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that. My God does not punish a person who is broken-hearted, he draws close to those who are sad. It is God’s love that gave me a million reasons to carry on and comfort those who mourn, with the truth of his loyal love. Laura Jean Acey-Garza “Survivor” Forks
Warfare objections
Dear Editor, I would like to submit my letter below as a possible editorial for the Forum. I wrote it the other day and sent it over to the e-mail address you had for Greg Wahl in the paper.
Sent to Mr. Greg Wahl, U.S. Forest Service, Olympia Subject: Comments on the Navy Warfare Plan Mr. Wahl: First of all let me thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Warfare issue. I am a resident of Forks and I see Dean Millett quite often at the West End Business meetings on Wednesday mornings and I kid with him about some of the comments you are all getting. I wish that there had been a technical person at the meeting here in Forks the other night but that is only due to personal and intellectual curiosity. My background is electronics with a particular interest in communication. I am currently an amateur radio operator and a member of ARES and my biggest question is whether or not we will be interfering with each other. But enough of that! I think it was made abundantly clear the other night that everyone loves this area, has no idea what is happening, does not trust the government and objects to the project in general. And I think everyone shares the feeling of insult that their existence was ignored as usual, by all involved. It also was insulting to have the man stand up in front of everyone
and talk about how much it costs and how long it takes to practice somewhere else along with the pilots having to be away from their families. I worked for 50 years of my life and a fact of life is that some jobs require you to be away from your family at times and sometimes for very long periods of time! Our military personnel sign a contract and they know they may have to leave home once in a while. That was a very poor argument for moving things over here. My wife and I moved here to retire and be away from big city life. I am retired fortunately and my wife works for Clallam Bay Corrections. As someone who has lived in super size metropolises, (Seattle does not qualify), I know how easily the small towns and certain people are ignored. And it is insulting that this area is treated as a wilderness that is devoid of humans and anything useful. Again, enough of that! My objections to the project are the same as some cited at the meeting. My main objection is the probability of more noise than we already have. I served in the U.S. Air Force Reserve and my father was a pilot in the Air See letters, page 12

THE REAL FORKS The Right to Bear Tucker
By Christy Rasmussen-Ford Shortly after moving in to our humble abode, my family purchased and installed a high-tech home security system to protect us from the lions and tigers and bears (oh my!). We live in the middle of nowhere (actually 40 minutes outside of Forks) so we need some kind of security system. His name is Tucker and he’s a year-old lab-mixed with goodness knows what else. He has the worst case of Little Man Syndrome that I’ve ever seen and to be honest, I’m surprised he doesn’t walk around asking, “Which way to the gun show?” Though I don’t speak dog so who knows? Anyway, Tucker does a good job at alerting us to the many potential dangers we face out here. For example, when a leaf falls from a tree, I can always count on Tucker to bark at it for a half an hour. Clearly he is warning us of the life-threatening situation we are in. Also, when my hair is up in a towel, he goes berserk. It’s pretty obvious that Tucker is a few fries short of a Happy Meal, but I sleep well at night knowing that my family will never be massacred by crazed, towel-wearing, maple leaves. Lately, my little security system has been working overtime. We’ve had a bear hanging out in the fields around my house. Between barking at leaves, warning me of the towel on my head and tracking the scent of Winnie the Pooh, Tucker barks day and night. This is very annoying, but thanks to him, no member of the Ford family has been eaten by a leaf … or a bear either. Because we haven’t been eaten by the bear yet, we don’t mind him around. Despite this, we still have an endless supply of helpful neighbors who drop by on a regular basis, offering to rid us of the animal. My husband told one person at work about the bear and suddenly every Tom, Dick, Harry and Tim (my dad), came knocking at my door with shotgun in hand, saying, “Heard you have a bear you need gone.” They all literally use these same words. One guy even came from Rochester. I’m not making that up. I have no idea who he was, but he heard that we had a bear problem and came right over. Listen gentlemen (and Dad), we don’t have a bear problem. We have a bear hanging around. We do however, have a spider problem. Tucker doesn’t warn us of those. To be fair to him, spiders technically fall under the cat’s job description but she’s not very useful beyond cleaning her food bowl. Hunters, if you really want to help, you’ll set up camp in my house and shoot every single spider that you see with your shotgun. I don’t even care about the holes, I just want the spiders gone. My landlords will be OK with this … I think. So hurry and get your spider license from Thrifty and then head out to my house.

Commentary
The Legend of Tragedy Graveyard Tales of a trip through the graveyard at night are a Halloween staple. What if there was a lost graveyard? A place where school children played and the identities of those buried there were long forgotten. Such a place may exist on Beaver Hill. When I was a child, my mother told me a curious story. When she was growing up on Beaver Hill, in the late 1930s and early 1940s, she and her grade school classmates and siblings played in the area behind the Beaver School. She recalled that one day in addition to climbing trees they began digging with sticks in the dirt. She claims that as they dug they exposed what appeared to be a human form, a shoulder and a head. The digging was hard and they soon lost interest, and the “body” was left but not forgotten. In 1997, I purchase a book by Archer K. Smith called “Tragedy Graveyard and the Starbuck Ghost and Other True Stories” and there was the story of the forgotten graveyard behind Beaver School. Had my mother really dug up a body? The following information is from Smith’s book. In the late 1890s, Charley Paul had a homestead on the east side of Lake Pleasant. He lived in a small cabin near the shore. He was said to never smile and he was missing an eye. Across the lake lived Rose and Charles Brenton. In a population of mostly bachelors, Mrs. Brenton caught the “eye” of Paul. Waiting until Mrs. Brenton was gone visiting family, Paul shot Mr. Brenton and made it look like suicide. With a lack of law enforcement, there were no questions asked. When Mrs. Brenton returned she took up with Paul. Paul soon left to work in Port

Angeles and was sending his $50 a month home to his new love. The only problem was she had taken up with a man named Dave McKunckle. Paul got wind of the betrayal and made his way back to Lake Pleasant through the woods. He ambushed McKunckle in the barn and shot him dead. Then to the cabin where a violent fight ensued between Paul and Rose. Rose was killed and in the boat he had used to cross the lake, Paul shot himself. All were buried at the back edge of Paul’s 160-acre homestead on Beaver Hill. Others believed to occupy the Tragedy Graveyard are a man named Winkler who went mad when lost in the woods. Joe Neederstrausser and his partner Cowan had a copper mine at Sappho. Neederstrauser shot Cowan and then himself. A Seattle man who had a place on the Sol Duc also was shot by his partner. A man named Terwilliger, who had a place at Shuwah, was suffering from an illness and took his own life; he was the last buried at the Beaver Hill location in 1906. While 13 men and one woman are buried there, five remain unknown. Celebrate Halloween on the West End with a trip to the
graveyard or maybe something a little more lighthearted like a costume contest at the Forks Elks Lodge or Blakeslee’s Bar and Grill, both on Saturday night. JT’s Sweet Stuff is offering up “The Haunted Bakery.” The Bakery will present “The Crypt Keepers Key, A Haunted Tale” Halloween evening from 6-11 p.m. The play begins every half hour and there is an audience limit of 16 at each show. Fun for most from 8 years old and up. This is a free event. On Halloween night the “Rain of Terror” Forks Police Foundation will have extended hours at its haunted house at the Quillayute Airport and the last night to experience the “Rain of Terror” is Saturday night. Was it imagination and a tree root or did my mom really dig up a body in Tragedy Graveyard? Christi Baron, Editor

Parking and entry to the church’s social hall are on Laurel Street. “Brothers Ray and Roy McClinton captured some of the earliest images of well known
Friday, October 31
places in Clallam County,” Lang says. “Marymere and Sol Duc Falls, Fairholme, Lakes Crescent and Sutherland were among their subjects.” If you have lived in Clallam County very long, you most likely have seen some of their photographs. “The problem is that over the years the McClintons have never been recognized for their art,” Lang says. “I hope to give long-overdue credit to the pair for their fine photography.” Sons of Superior Court Judge James G. McClinton, the fraternal twins began taking photos as teenagers in the early 1890s. Their cameras were tripod-mounted and used glassplate negatives, similar to what Matthew Brady used. The highlight of the presentation will be a selection of the McClinton brothers’ photos themselves, scanned at high resolution from the original glass plates. The Historical Society’s McClinton Collection includes over 400 glass-plate negatives and two family photo albums covering a period of
about 25 years. The presentation will include a brief overview of research and interpretive techniques in deciphering unidentified people and places. Lang also will provide a thumbnail history of the McClinton family. Descendants of Judge McClinton plan to attend. History Tales is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Clallam County Historical Society’s office at 360-452-2662 or e-mail artifact@olypen.com. Clallam Bay/Sekiu Chamber meeting Clallam Bay/Sekiu Chamber will meet at noon Wednesday, Nov. 5, at the Clallam Bay Visitor Center to re-group and re-organize for another great year. Items on the agenda will include a motion for a membership dues increase and elections of officers. All offices are open this year. The current officers are willing to stay in their positions, but also encourage and welcome others who may be interested in being involved in the chamber as an officer to nominate themselves. If you are interested in running for president, vice president, treasurer, secretary or the two at-large positions, send an e-mail to info@clallambay. com or mail it to Clallam Bay Sekiu Chamber of Commerce, PO Box 355, Clallam Bay, WA 98326.

On an evening dedicated to the seniors of the Spartan football program, it was the bond of the pee wee ranks that owned the night. While the pee wee Spartans made memorable appearance during the Senior Night half time festivities, the youthful memories of yesteryear were fresh on the minds of this year’s seasoned veterans. Although they dropped their penultimate contest at Spartan Stadium 28-6 to the 2A Bobcats of Aberdeen, the grizzled Forks seniors, who count few in numbers but long on heart, spoke in genuine gilded tones of their comrades post-game. Each of the four-year Spartans noted the uncommon bond that their group has forged through countless contests dating back to their own Little League days. As senior lineman Kody Hansen puts it, “We’ve been best friends since Little League.” The Spartans 5-foot 9-inch, 246-pound tailback/nose tackle and full time bruiser, Miguel Morales, agreed with Hansen, his brother in arm pads. Morales put the emphasis on brother, saying, “Ever since we were little kids, every sport we’ve played we’ve played together and it’s helped us become more of a family. Not a team. Family.” Shaped and toned like an anvil at 5 feet 8 inches, 205 pounds, Dimitri Sampson is another broad-shouldered senior running back for the Spartans. A stalwart of a linebacker on defense, Sampson shares an almost telepathic connection with his brute running back partner Morales. As Sampson explained it, “I know he (Morales) has my back and I can just follow him and get my yards.” “I don’t have your back,” quickly quipped back the lead blocking Morales. “I’ve got your front.” Javier Contreras, who dazzled the crowd with a spectacular horizontal diving interception in his last-ever home game, did not hesitate to contribute to the complimentary air, noting, “I can feel the energy when I hand the ball off to them. Either one of them.” “Javy” then painted his fellow seniors with a broad brush

Forks. As Feasel sees it, “When you look at the numbers of this senior class they don’t have the numbers they need to do what they want to do, but they never quit on you. But when these younger guys get to be upperclassmen, they are going to play at a very high level because they’ve been there and they’ve seen it before, from these (senior) guys.” All of the Spartans agreed that beating the then highly touted Tenino Beavers on Homecoming night was, as Feasel put it, “a standout game,” on their Spartan running back Miguel Morales looks for running room against the resumé.

letters, from page 2 Force and the reserves. I’m not someone who is unaccustomed to the sound of freedom or the need for training. What the heck, one of the bases I was assigned to was a training base and I had a hard time keeping quiet when one of the folks the other night asked what would happen if a plane went down. I know what happens when there is an accident and according to some of my friends here in town it has happened a couple of times in the past here. But even though I would have given my right arm to do what the current pilots get to do I still have a problem when I stand in my yard and watch the boys playing overhead and making excessive noise because they have the afterburners kicked in while they do what they do and while they are wasting fuel doing it. The noise is deafening, even inside with all the doors and windows closed and we live in a brand new house with excessive amounts of insulation. Also the scheduled time of some of the fun and games is when we are trying to get some sleep. I also did not agree at all with the statement that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife people do not see any impact on the wildlife out here. I have traveled to other environmentally sensitive areas that have had to create zones where sound levels of all kinds have to be kept to a minimum. One area was where a certain type of bird species had almost been driven to extinction because of abnormal noise levels and sources.
If what was highlighted in the Forks Forum as the comments of Mr. Larsen, a logger who is restricted at certain times by the Forest Service is true and correct, then I feel like the Fish & Wildlife folks really aren’t paying attention or telling the truth. I know the training is needed, there is no question of that fact. I just wish that more of the training would be done out over the water. I also wish that a demand or rule be mandated that afterburners not be used over the land unless we are actually under attack by an intruder. The current aircraft are inherently much noisier than many of the ones I was around so the extra noise limitation would be nice. I know that combat does not recognize day or night or weather so I don’t think restricting the hours is something easily done although it would be nice if it was only once or twice during a week when scheduled. Bottom line is that I am not unreasonable and don’t expect or request that this go away. I just wish that there was a bit more respect for our forest and animals and a whole lot more respect for the people! Thanks for the chance to comment! Joe Wright KG7CWG The Real Western Washington
Don’t let American Legion Post 106 die
Dear Editor, Veterans Service Organizations provide a necessary voice
Join our aerospace community!
for our veterans. The American Legion is the largest of these in the United States. In each Legion Department (State) there are posts that helps veterans, their families and the community. From Legionnaires, to Auxiliary members, to Sons of the American Legion, and the Legion Riders, it is the goal of all to provide services to our veterans, their families and the community. Forks Post 106 is one of these posts. Why should any veteran join The American Legion? The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security and continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans. With the recent problems with the Veterans Administration in regarding medical coverage for veterans, The American Legion voiced the concerns of veterans and called for the resignation of the Secretary. Constant reviews of VA facilities by Legion members will continue and those reports will be given to our elected officials. Only through active membership can the American Legion stand for the rights of veterans and this is where Post 106 Forks needs your help. Post 106 Forks is a new but old post. Once the roller rink roof collapsed under heavy snow, the post lost its identifiable home. Post membership declined
until no one was there. A few veterans wanted the post back and a couple of years ago, it was re-opened. But unlike having a building burned, the lack of participation continues. The question remains: Why? Perhaps it is like what many volunteer organizations face. A troublesome economy. Lack of community growth. Declining school enrollments as more families move into the city. We are our own best kept secret. Legionnaires pat themselves on the back and move on to the next challenge. No one seems to know of the accomplishments of an American Legion Post except the post itself. Does anyone in Forks know that the Evergreen Girls State Governor in 2013 came from this community? American Legion baseball, junior shooting sports competitions, Evergreen Boys and Girls State are just some of the programs that Legion posts can participate in. If a Boys Scout Troop or Cub Scout Pack is looking for a sponsor, why not a Legion post? Americanism is one of the Four Pillars of the American Legion and it is filled with youth programs. Oratorical Contest promotes leadership, a deeper understanding of the United States Constitution and reinforces the rights and privileges of American citizenship. The ability to offer thousands of dollars in college scholarships should be noted, too. The Legion’s success depends entirely on active membership, participation and volunteerism. The organization belongs to the people it serves and the com-

munities in which it thrives. If you look around Washington and look at the successful posts, they all have several things in common. First, they have an Auxiliary Unit, a SAL Squadron and a Riders Chapter. Those can only come by an active membership. Post 106 Forks active membership is a concern for the District. Lacking a critical mass in membership numbers, programs as those mentioned cannot succeed. The post cannot succeed. The community cannot succeed. If this post were to close, it would be a sad day for everyone. I’m hoping that with this article, Post 106 membership will rise and become an active post within Washington and this community. Forks Post 106 meets at 7 p.m. on the second Friday of every month at the VFW hall. I strongly encourage those that have let their membership expire, to please go to the meeting and renew. For those that are unsure, please attend a meeting and see the value of joining. My next meeting at Forks will be on Dec. 12 and that will determine what happens to the post. The Post Commander is doing all he can do. Now it is time for the membership to step up and help. Kenneth R. Christian, Jr. Commander, 3rd District The American Legion

CONCERNED CITIZENS
The Forks VFW needs new members badly. This is not a gimmick to increase membership for the sake of increasing. We have one active member less than 50 years of age and the others are World War II, Korean and Vietnam veterans. Our active membership is about 12. The post will deactivate if we are unable to persuade our younger veterans to become active in what is, our fraternal organization; we know what combat is about. “You have never lived until you have almost died. For those who have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know.” Linking men/women through their experiences of combat, and promoting Americanism and patriotism, is certainly an objective of the VFW. Camaraderie, Americanism and patriotism is what motivated our World War II veterans to organize this chapter in the first place. Forks’ chapter was activated Feb. 9, 1947. “The

in order to grow as an organization and contribute constructively to various projects in the community. At this time, without more members, the VFW Post is hesitant to step forward when opportunities present themselves. We ask that all veterans who have served in time of war please consider membership in the Forks VFW. Membership costs $45 annually. To join, veterans should bring a copy of their DD-214 to the post, across from the junior high school on the corner of Spartan Avenue and “A” Street during our regular scheduled meeting at 7 p.m. on the second Thursday of every month. Additionally, you may call the Chapter Commander of Post 9106, Mike McCracken: 360-374-5429, or by mail Post 9106, PO Box 116, Forks, WA 98331. The VFW would be honored if the public will join us at the Forks ceremony on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. It will begin at 11 a.m. in the cemetery at the corner of Calawah Way and Merchant Road to honor our veterans. There will be a luncheon following the ceremony at the VFW Hall.

We must have a well trained military force to defend our country, but we must not let them destroy the quality of life they are supposedly protecting. Thank you, Forks Chamber of Commerce, for sponsoring the meeting and giving your neighbors the opportunity to tell the Navy and the Forest Service what they think about the proposal. We must not be bullied by them; they don’t live here, they don’t care. They fly over and leave. Forks has weathered the loss of the timber industry and recovered, in part, from the tourism business spun off from the Twilight saga and the recreational opportunities offered in the natural environment of the national forest and the national park. The last thing your town needs is anything that would disrupt or degrade the quality of life and the outdoor experience you offer. This madness must be stopped! Sebastian Eggert, Port Townsend

Ernie Pyle, a reporter, was distinctive in his writing skills during World War II. Like Gen. Omar Bradley (the Soldier’s General) he was the regular soldiers reporter. He was Killed in Action (KIA) on Okinawa in 1945. His reporting and pictures were continually in the European and Pacific Theaters Army and Navy Times. An advocate of the grunt in a foxhole, airman being shot at by anti-aircraft artillery (aaa) on bombing missions or sailors aboard destroyers and other war ships and troopships battling submarines, aircraft and enemy warships, his writings and pictures brought laughter and humor to troops because he would nail the situation and the fighting men really enjoyed it. In his down-to-earth writing style, he communicated and communicating to our local veterans is what Chapter 9106 is doing. We need warm bodies

Dear Editor, For the last 37 years I’ve been building and operating a woodworking business in Port Townsend. Occasionally I’ve been a part of our local chamber and contributed my time to the Economic Development Council. I use wood products from the peninsula in much of my work and I enjoy the natural surroundings in which I live, including occasional trips over to Forks and the West End. The recent escalation of flight activities at Naval Air Station Whidbey have brought a disturbing increase in noise around Port Townsend, often late at night. (I can’t imagine how awful it must be on Whidbey Island!) It was with great surprise and alarm that I learned of the Navy’s proposal to begin additional flights and electronic warfare training on the West End. I heard about your meeting from the Peninsula Daily News, and although I could not be there, I was pleased and amazed at the quality of the comments given at that meeting. I was able to listen in at a Vimeo site put up by Nancy Botta, a Port Townsend resident. (https://vimeo.com/ album/3091035) Her video
Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States is an organization formed in Columbus, Ohio on Sept. 29, 1899, by Spanish-American War veterans of the 17th Regiment of Infantry, Ohio National Guard.” Membership in the VFW is restricted to any active or honorably discharged officer, non-commissioned officer (NCO) and enlisted man/ woman who are citizens of the United States who has served in the military service, in any foreign was, insurrection or expedition, which service shall be recognized by the authorization or the issuance of a campaign medal.” World War II, Korea and Vietnam are all different eras but the common denominator is attitude, as it relates to patriotism. The individuals who enlisted into one of the services during a war is unique in so many ways. With this chapter becoming larger and younger, for example, we would be able to lead, once again, the Fourth of

Lucky for us, hope floats
By Showandah Terrill I took our Jack Russells for a run by the river on a warm day late this summer and as we came around a bend, there was a gray tent, neither big nor expensive – no camping equipment outside, no sense of comfort, no chairs – just a walker, sitting lopsided in the sand outside the zippered door. I called the dogs. We turned around and went back the other way. This week, when the wind was spinning over 100-pound flower pots full of hydrangeas and the rain was outrunning the gutters and sloshing onto the deck outside our bedroom door, I laid awake in my warm bed and thought about that tent, and that person, and wondered if he was OK and what it would be like to be homeless. When I despaired our entire house because that tiny spot in one corner of my sewing room is once again leaking and Bill just cannot seem to find the entry point, I did find myself wondering, what would it be like to have the rain driving in around the windows, through the rotten ceiling, bringing up the mold in the carpet? Who would care? Habitat for Humanity was founded by a man who cared. His name was Millard Fuller. In obedience to what he believed was God’s voice, he gave away most of what he had, in his case about $1 million, and he set about building houses for people who desperately needed simple, decent shelter. Today Habitat builds internationally, and its best-known voice is former President Jimmy Carter. Here in Forks we build for each other and the best-known voice is you! It’s us! Rejoice, my friends. In the trample of politics and world despair, there is something we can actually do that makes a difference, and we’re doing it, one house at a time. Do you know how much you’ve done? You have stuffed your Outfitters receipts in those jars around town and it already has added up to hundreds of dollars. A young lady drove by the site on her way to exercise class and dropped off boxes of nail-gun nails she didn’t need. Businesses donate lunches and individuals bring them by for

Yay for us! We rock! We not only can do this, we ARE doing it! Millard Fuller would be proud. The Weavers’ new house is tight and dry.The roof is complete, the windows in, the siding going on despite the weather. Soon the plumber will come, the electrician, the dry-wallers, and the rooms will become apparent. Tia will be able to stand in the first private bedroom of her life and imagine painting and posters. No need for a sleeping bag to ward off the ever-present dampness and chill. Your generosity has done this. Your continued generosity
will maintain the momentum for the Weavers, the Goodings and beyond to a whole block of carefully crafted homes and a better community for all of us. If you would like to volunteer (and in answer to a FAQ, yes, there is a background check to work on site), contact Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County at 360-687-6780. Or come by the site on Thursday, Friday or Saturday and ask about what you can do. If you like to laugh and learn new skills, or hone old ones, this is a great place to be. Showandah Terrill lives on a 132-year-old homestead on the Quillayute Prairie, where she cans what she raises and quilts when she can, and writes novels which she plans to publish when a publisher comes along.

Saving the chalet The chalet move Part 5
By Sherry Baysinger By Saturday all but one of the main players in the chalet move have arrived in camp. The helicopter flights continued all weekend. The two trail guards were stationed with radios at each end of the trail leading into the chalet. In be-
tween helicopter flights, hikers were allowed through. Hikers and media people stopped to chat with Rainey. We were amazed at how many people came from all over the U.S. to see the chalet before it was moved. Bill Brager (Forks Miller Tree Inn) and his hiking buddy arrived in camp to see
the chalet. I was especially impressed with one elderly couple. They were carrying heavy backpacks, using walking sticks, the man sporting braces on both knees and they were hiking all the way through to the Dosewallips with the main purpose of seeing the chalet one last time. Everyone we talked to seemed very much in favor of the project to save the chalet. While we were busy getting meals prepared, Rainey McKenna, ONP Public information officer, who was very adept at the politics of her job, was talking with media people who had hiked in to get information for their various newspapers. Rainey and Jeff had cordoned off a large area around the chalet and requested that for safety reasons, no one go inside that area. It’s hard to describe the frantic work that continued from daylight until dark as the house moving crew continued to prepare the chalet for the move, stopping only to eat or to get another load of supplies being flow in by the helicopter. Inside walls were braced with 2 by 4 by 10-foot studs and
on Saturday they “picked” the house. This is house movers’ term for raising the house in preparation of moving it. When the chalet was picked, several large chunks of the riverbank caved in and large pieces of the concrete foundation that was hanging over the edge fell over the bank. Jeff was worried about the stability of the chalet and very anxious to get it moving away from the bank. Late Saturday evening, Lisa Tourecet, ONP Maintenance facility manager, arrived in camp after hiking 20 miles in from Staircase. Lisa had not yet had the opportunity to hike that particular trail, so she decided to come in from the Dosewallips side. While many park employees spend a lot of time in the office, most cherish the park wilderness and use every opportunity to get on the trail and enjoy the wilderness that they are responsible to preserve. We were now waiting on the steel beams and one important player, Del Davis, of DB Davis House Moving of Everett. Jeff, the contracted house mover for the chalet job, and Del have been friends for years. Del
had been facilitating all of the helicopter loads at the landing, radioing Jeff Monroe with each new dilemma. For many years they helped each other with some very difficult house moving projects and Jeff was very anxious for Del to get done at the helicopter landing and join him at the chalet. Like Jeff, Del had been moving houses since he was a youngster. He is a thirdgeneration house mover. His grandpa started out moving houses in Wisconsin with a team of Belgian horses. In the afternoon Sara and I saddled our horses and delivered one of the trail guard’s lunches by pony express. We rode several miles east of the chalet heading upriver toward Anderson Pass, which historically was a stock trail, but due to slides and trail creep, has not been accessible to stock on the west end of Anderson Pass. When we reached a place where the trail started getting narrow we decided to turn around. It wouldn’t be good to take any chances on a horse slipping off the trail when we had a hungry crew depending on us for supper. To be continued...

About Sherry Baysinger Larry and Sherry Baysinger moved to Forks in 1973. Larry went to work for ITT Rayonier as an equipment operator at Hoko Camp. Sherry worked for the Department of Natural Resources as a radio operator and seasonal fire warden and Smokey the Bear imposter. They owned and operated Forks Glass Company for a number of years and later worked for Department of Corrections both at Olympic Corrections Center and Clallam Bay Prison. Larry started packing horses into the Olympics and eventually was contracted to pack re-supply trips for National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) in the Olympic National Park. Sherry was operating their Bear Creek Homestead Bed and Breakfast at this time and was taking guests on horseback rides between Larry’s pack trips. The horse rides seemed to fit their lifestyle better than B & B, so Sherry started Rain Forest Horse Rides and has been packing with Larry and guiding trail rides for about 15 years. They live on Bear Creek Road in their 100-year-old, two-story farmhouse, which is home-away-from-home to many family members, especially their seven grandchildren and friends from all over the world. Their hobbies involve maintaining their farm and garden, hosting gatherings for friends and relatives, riding horses and traveling to sunny places during their off-season. They share their farm with a resident elk herd that keeps them busy repairing fences, two Australian heeler dogs and a herd of 8-10 horses and mules. Their sons, Scott and Jeff Baysinger, have operated SJB Construction in Forks for many years.
