Forks hires head football coach
The Quillayute Valley School District Board of Directors unanimously approved the hiring of the new Forks High School head football coach at a regular board meeting on Jan. 28. Craig Shetterly unanimously was appointed as the new leader of the Spartan football program. Shetterly brings plenty of past proven performance as an assistant and head coach to the Spartan field: Defensive coordinator at Mount Vernon High School (3A); head coach at Cedar Park Christian School, directing the No. 1 offense in the 1A level with 541.2 yards; assistant head coach/co-offensive coordinator at Prosser High School (2A), leading state semi-finalist for three years; and current defensive line coach at University High School (4A). A panel of 12 community members interviewed Shetterly and recommended him to Superintendent Diana Reaume. “Coach Shetterly embodies a love for the game and came extremely prepared to meet
Forks’ stakeholders in his interview,” said Reaume. “He had completely done his homework on our Spartans, our schools and the Forks community.” Shetterly’s philosophy is to build champions and pursue championships. “We need to establish a clear direction and vision for the program. We want to teach our kids the value of the Double Win, where they not only develop the best in themselves, but bring out the best in everyone around them. I believe it’s this attitude that will improve our football program, the school and the community around us.” Shetterly currently holds a special education teaching position at University High School in Central Valley School District. In addition, he has served nine years in the United States Air Force. He and his wife, Cheryl, have been married for 11 years and have two daughters, Jocelyn (7) and Emma (3). “My family and I are excited about the opportunity to build a
championship-level program at Forks High School. I’ve already met a lot of great people in the
town and am very happy with the support I’ve received from the Quillayute Valley School
District. I look forward to many years of continued success as a Spartan,” Shetterly said.

Forks Weather Report By Jerry R. King
Brett Lee Card of Forks was sentenced Thursday to 27 months in prison by Clallam County Judge Eric Rohrer after pleading guilty to rape of a child third degree. According to court documents, Card, 24, had sex with a 12-year-old girl in December 2013. The girl told officers that she and Card had sex in a vacant house in Forks. Forks police located a used condom in the house and a State Patrol Crime Lab DNA test showed a positive match with DNA from Card, the girl and the condom. Card will be on 36 months of supervision and will have to register as a sex offender, said Deputy Prosecutor Michele Devlin. Card has previous felony convictions for bail jumping, malicious mischief and burglary.

Col. Craig V. Silcox September 2, 1946 - September 23, 2014 Craig Vernon Silcox was born on September 2, 1946 in Moline, Illinois to Arvil and Betty Silcox. He passed away September 23, 2014 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease and more recently, cancer. He was 68. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia on January 14, 2015 with full military honors. In 1949 the family moved to Port Angeles, Washington where Craig attended school at Lincoln and Roosevelt through his freshman year. The family moved to Forks in 1961 where he graduated from Forks High School in 1964. While attending Forks High School he played football for the Spartans and was named to the Olympic League All Star team. He was the ASB president his senior year. After graduation Craig went to work in the woods, setting chokers, where he earned the respect of the guys on the landing with his hard work. Craig started his military career when he entered the Army in 1967. He did two tours of duty in Vietnam and was stationed overseas in Germany and South Korea. While in the service Craig earned his Bachelor’s degree at Cameron College and his Master’s at the University of Missouri. While teaching Reserve Officers’ Training Corps at Loyola University in 1979 Craig met the love of his life Linda. They were married March 22, 1981 in Chicago Illinois. On Dec. 2, 1982 Craig and Linda welcomed their daughter Tracy into the world. From 1981-1986 the family made their home in Tacoma, Washington while Craig was stationed at Fort Lewis. There he served as Battalion Commander of the 6/11 FA. Further moves took them to Fort Sill, Oklahoma and Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. In 1988 they moved to Virginia where Craig attended the Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF). He then became Comptroller for the Military District of Washington, D.C. Craig retired from the service in 1993 attaining the rank of full Colonel. His military career spanned 27 years. He earned the Legion of Merit Award, as well as the Bronze Star, the Meritorious Service Medal and the Air Medal. With his premature gray hair he was affectionately called the” Silver Fox” by his junior officers. Many of those men remember his Silcoxisms: the list of rules of conduct and leadership to live by that he taught those he commanded. After retiring from the Army Craig went on to his second career as a Certified Public Accountant. He passed all four parts of the CPA exam on the first try and accepted a job with the accounting firm KPMG in Washington, D.C. An exemplary leader who always maintained the highest standards, Craig earned the respect and admiration of those he worked with through his dedication, selfless attitude and tireless effort. Whether in the Army or in business, he was a caring team player who always kept the best interests of his soldiers or colleagues at heart. A loving and devoted husband and father , he was a big brother and mentor to many. Craig was preceded in death by his mother Betty, father Arvil and sister Carol. He is survived by his wife Linda, their daughter Tracy and brothers Rick, Ray (Nancy) and Dave. Donations can be made in his memory to the Parkinson’s Foundation of the National Capital Area, 7700 Leesburg Pike, Suite 208, Falls Church, VA 22043
THE REAL FORKS Christi or Christy? The Questions
By Christy Rasmussen-Ford Christi can can Christy but Christy can’t can Christi. If Christi can can Christy, then why can’t Christy can Christi? Well, because they are different of course! If you think you know the difference between Christi and Christy, try your hand at our Christi/Christy quiz. 1. Christi or Christy, which one wore one blue shoe and one black shoe to work once? In this person’s defense, they were the same style! Don’t be confused by the fact that the other one also wore mismatched shoes once, but they were different styles in the same color. 2. Christi or Christy, which one gave mouth to bill resuscitation to a duck named “Little Al” when it had a seizure? Think hard on this one. One of us is an animal lover, but the other is very seizure knowledgeable. 3. Christi or Christy, which one drives around Lake Crescent and entertains herself with a little game of “Can I go the whole distance without using my brakes once?” Of course, during tourist season, this takes a lot of skill. Only trained professionals should attempt this stunt. 4. Christi or Christy, which one walked around the FHS gym for a half hour during a high school basketball game with her skirt tucked into her nylons? The nice lady who finally informed Christi/Christy will know this answer. 5. Christi or Christy, which one milked a goat in “high heels and pearls”? OK, not really pearls, but really nice clothes and high heels. By the way, the high heels did match in this case. 6. Christi or Christy, which one named her goldfish Jaws? The other Christi/Christy named her beta Shark Bait. Also, please know that we never put them together in the same tank because ironically, Shark Bait would have eaten Jaws. 7. Christi or Christy, which one loves spinach to the point of eating a huge bowl for dinner and which one loves mushrooms (the non-magical kinds) to the point of eating a huge bowl for dinner? Clearly, both of us are weird. 8. Christi or Christy, which one was sent to detention only once in her life? But only because she was telling the story about another kid who got sent to detention for saying a potty word and a teacher walked up right when she said the potty word part. 9. Christi or Christy, which one is currently committing polygamy because she married a clown at a circus show when she was 10. 10. Christi or Christy, which one made the FHS team bus pull over on the freeway because she was “bus sick” while everyone on the team leaned out the windows and made barfing sounds? Side note; this is always helpful when someone is sick.

The Westernmost Newspaper in the Continental U.S.
Commentary
Christi or Christy? The Answers What I really like about Christy Ford is if I mention something really silly and off the wall she is all for it, she actually starts without me. So when I mentioned a column idea which would be called “Which Christ(i)(y)” she sprang into action, and so this week’s columns are a result of that. So this is a chance to get to know us better, although after collaborating on these fascinating facts about us, we have decided we are quite boring. 1. The answer to this question is, me, I wore two different colored shoes to work. They were plain pumps and the closet was dark, that is my story. I think Christy has got me on difficulty on this one, the different styles would definitely be harder to pull off. 2. The answer to this question would also be me. I had a duck named Little Al, named after the late Big Al Genson (many of my ducks have been named after my neighbors.) Anyway Little Al was left for dead and Big Al saved him hence the name Little Al. One day when Little Al was a teenage duck he had a seizure and I revived him. I will save the rest of the details for another column. 3. OK, this one is a tough one, it is actually me but when
I confessed my obsession with this secret driving skill, of driving around Lake Crescent without using my brakes, Christy said she too desired this driving experience. I think we are almost like professionals due to the number of times we have driven the route. I see a road trip in our future.
this one is me. Christy loves mushrooms! Apparently to the same degree of my spinach love. I must admit I do not like mushrooms, magical or not.
4. This next questions is a secret fear of every female, the skirt tucked in the pantyhose syndrome. I am thankful to say this one goes to Christy. Although it could have gone either way.
9. Wow, polygamy, that would be Christy, although I believe that in some states it is against the law, the marrying of a clown part.
5. OK, which one of us milked a goat in “matching” high heels and “fake” pearls? Again this is very close to being something I might do, but again this one goes to Christy. I have owned goats but never milked them in any attire. 6. Which one of us had a goldfish named Jaws? That would be me, he came from the mean streets of Pullman and did a lot of traveling in a plastic bag. Although Christy’s beta Shark Bait may have been able to eat Jaws, I bet he never did any traveling and my goldfish Jaws had a sequel, Jaws II. 7. Who loves spinach? I love spinach, so the answer to
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.
HOMETOWN PAPER HOMETOWN PRIDE
8. Who would have been sent to detention? Not me, so that would be Christy. Although I spent some time in the hall in second grade, for talking, while I was supposed to be reading a Weekly Reader.
10. The final riveting answer to this quiz is me. I hated riding on those school buses and I made the bus driver pull over on the freeway so “I could get some fresh air.” With good old team spirit they all cheered me on so to speak, but I did not get sick! We do have some things in common: We both grew up and went to school in Forks, both cheered on the Spartans and we both love our community! Christ Baron, editor

Senior Night Feb. 2, 2015 Boys
Clallam Bay came into Forks on Feb. 2, looking to spoil the home team’s senior night shenanigans but instead wound up inspiring a career-defining performance by the Spartans’ senior shooting guard, Colton Raben. In front of an appreciative crowd of Spartan faithful, Raben netted a game-high, career-high tying, 38 points, dazzling all along the way en route to a 75-50 non-league victory. “You can tell it was his senior night,” said Fork’s coach Rick Gooding as he pointed to Raben’s first half stats, which included 24 points. “But that’s just how he is. If there was one word to describe Colton, it would be consistent.” Gooding was overflowing with positivity for his senior playmaker after the post-game celebrations. “We’ve been out of it (playoff contention) for a while now and he’s still just competing,” noted Gooding, who listed stingy league losses and common practice shoot-arounds as scenarios that Raben undertakes with equal seriousness. From his perspective though, Raben says there’s never been a decision for him about how hard to work. In his words, “I’ve just got to be a team leader as a senior.” One thing that managed to catch Raben off guard in his four years of varsity basketball for the Spartans though was the standing ovation he received when he was subbed out for the final time in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s game. Searching in vain for adequate words in the emotional rush of the post-game ceremonies Raben gushed, “It was awesome,” before offering up a “big thanks,” to his parents, team, coaches and fans.

The Spartans capped off the senior night celebrations with a playground rules 54-30 besting of the visiting Clallam Bay Bruins. The Spartans were predictably led in scoring by sophomore sneaker screecher Skyler DeMatties who netted a game-high 19 points, but it was a rowdy team effort that brought the house down on the Bruins. That free-spirited effort by Forks saw 10 players log significant minutes, with seven reaching the scoring column, and three attaining double digits. Vee Goodlance and Alex Henderson backed up DeMatties’ effort with 11 and 10 points respectively. “She had some really nice crossovers tonight,” said Forks coach Al Scheibner of DeMatties, his pintsized guard who scores by the gallon. “She’s getting a lot better at dishing it off but tonight her shot was just falling so there wasn’t as much need for that.” Scheibner also noted the play of post sophomore Brittney Woodruff who netted four points after being called up from JV recently, noting that, “She’s not afraid to bump around.” Post-game, Scheibner was eager to heap praise on his two senior players, Veronica Banks (two points) and Henderson. “They’re two really great kids. They help the young kids and they work really, really hard. I’ve never had to get on them about that,” said Scheibner. “Even though we kind of struggled this year, I think the thing the girls should take away is the passion for the game. It’s more than just one person that makes a team. It takes everybody in it to make it a family.” Spartans 54, Bruins 30

The subregional tournament was held in Elma on Feb. 7. The top four Spartans will move on to the regional tournament in Hoquiam. Gavin Palmer is an alternate at 132. Coach Bob Wheeler said, “For the most part our kids wrestled well. We had a few disappointments, but are still looking for some improvements from a few kids in Hoquiam, we will need it.” Forks had four first-place winners and so did Montesano. “As we move up the ladder to state, the scores will get more

spread out between the schools,” Wheeler added. “Also next week there will be some other good teams from the Trico League that will collect their share of the points. We will need to have some of our placers step up if we want to take the regional championship. We will need to take most of this week’s placers to the state tournament if we want to be a contender,” said Wheeler. 113 - Sebastian Morales, 2nd 120 - Alvaro Ortiz, 2nd 120 - Alan Ensastegui, 3rd 126 - Saul Avila, 6th 132 - Garrison Schumack, 4th 132 Gavin Palmer, 5th 138 Joseph Mariner, 3rd 145 - Javier Contreras, 1st 152 - Joel Mohn, 1st 152 - Johnny Lua, 2nd

The talented Mr. Egbert
Jennifer’s dog in a heart-shape.
Fun - A Day project
Jennifer Pelikan participated in the Rain Forest Council for the Arts Fun-A-Day project in January. Her project was a shape study. She said, “I chose the heart shape and each day I created or photographed a heart shape.” On Jan. 1, she took her dog to Rialto Beach and drew hearts in the sand and photographed them. “On Jan. 11, I went to the Clallam Bay West Beach and used rocks to create a heart and photographed it.” Her theme is a perfect one to display in February and that is what RCA will be doing on Saturday, Feb. 14, at the Forks Library. Those that participated in the Fun-A-Day can set up their projects at 10 a.m. at the library. Then from 2-3 p.m. the community is invited to Rocks placed in the shape of a heart. Submitted photos come take a look. Refreshments will be served.

IVER WE DEL
James Egbert was not only the superintendent and a teacher at Quillayute Union High School in the 1920s and 1930s, he also was in charge of the school band and orchestra. He wrote poetry and music. One of his musical scores even received a glowing review from John Phillip Sousa. When Egbert was not engaged in QUHS curriculum he was operating his prize-winning poultry business, which he operated at his home on Second Avenue in Forks. He also sold eggs produced by his prize-winning hens and would load up a cart and sell them through the streets of Forks. His poems often appeared in the Forks Forum, common themes were love and the forest, this poem is from 1938.
Absence by James Egbert I love to touch the garments she last wore; Their subtle silky softness thrills my soul; The fragrance of her breath is all run through, And all the colors of her life breathe there. I love to walk the paths she lately trod; Where her precious footfalls linger yet Along the way; while her hushed presence seems to fill the air with glory and with song; So there along brown paths through forests green (Once more we walk together, my Love and I.) And when quite weary from the forest paths, I turn my footsteps back through dark of night (Back to our lonely home, my Love and I) To dwell amidst old dreams until the dawn.

February is Heart Month
February is not just a time to think of hearts and valentines, it also is the month to think of the health of your heart. February is Heart Month with an emphasis on women’s heart health. Each year, cardiovascular diseases claim the lives of nearly 500,000 women — almost one per minute. That is the bad news, the good news is Forks Community Hospital has increased its services in the heart department and if a West End resident, man or woman, should have a heart episode or heart disease, our local health care facility is prepared to help. On Monday, FCH nurse Deborah Dillon gave me a tour of what’s new at the hospital. Did you know that FCH is a Level III Heart Center? That means they have the know-how to get you the medications you need and stabilized in the event you as a patient need to be transferred on to their heart care partner Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton. All health care workers must be certified to work in Level III and all nurses must take special training. Through a grant, the hospital has updated defibrillation and EKG equipment so that the equipment that is in the ambulances matches what is in the emergency room and critical information on a patient’s vitals are being sent to the ER as the patient is en route. As Dillon describes it, “The equipment can talk to each other, so when the patient gets here, we know what is going on.” Doug Devine is director of Cardiopulmonary Service at FCH. He can take care of outpatient and pre-op patient care. His department offers 24-48 hour heart recording devices, tread mill testing; the old-fashioned kind where the patient physically gets on the treadmill, and the nuclear kind where medication is used to simulate stress to the heart. Radioisotopes also can be used to take pictures of a patient’s heart. The hospital hosts the nuclear medicine imaging mobile unit, which comes every other week. The hospital and Bogachiel Clinic also offer the services of cardiologist Dr. David Tinker, through their partnership with Harrison Healthcare. Dr. Tinker’s practice philosophy is, “I listen carefully to my patients, using my knowledge and expertise to help them achieve successful outcomes.” “We want people to know that they can get their health care taken care of here at home; they don’t need to travel to see a cardiologist like Dr. Tinker, he comes here,” Dillon added. So, take care of your heart and Happy Valentine’s Day!
After Hours at the Clallam Bay Library The Clallam Bay branch of the North Olympic Library System (NOLS) will host its Third Annual “After Hours at the Library” Valentine fundraising event on Saturday, Feb. 14, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Admission is free, although there is a suggested donation of $5 per person.

ing event will help support youth programs at the library, including the annual Summer Reading Program, and other events for young people. The Clallam Bay Library is

QVSD installs digital cameras increase school safety The Quillayute Valley School District has installed digital surveillance cameras in its schools in an effort to increase safety and to assist with the expedition of the response and arrival of law enforcement in the event of a threat or emergency at school. QVSD received $71,261 for this project and was one of 80 schools in the state to receive this emergency safety grant from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. The grant was a result of Senate Bill 5197, which encourages districts to develop emergency response systems using “evolving technology.” “Student and staff safety is our top priority,” said Diana Reaume, superintendent. Over 70 cameras were installed inside and outside of the buildings on QVSD property. The cameras are positioned in “public places,” such as gymnasiums, cafeterias, hallways, and entrance and exit
ways, as well as in strategic places outside of the building, monitoring the district’s parking lots and property. “Cameras will not be used to monitor areas where the public has a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as locker rooms and bathrooms,” Reaume said. Only individuals authorized by the superintendent (or designee) or school administration will have access to the digital technology and will be permitted to view the data recordings. Local police will have access in the event there is an active aggression situation, which requires support from a local agency. All parents will be notified in writing of the new system and its purposes. The system is expected to be up and running this week. It is anticipated that the camera system will encourage individuals to demonstrate respect for themselves, others and their surroundings. “We have experienced

Forks hires head girls fastpitch coach The Quillayute Valley School District Board of Directors unanimously approved the hiring of a new Forks High School head fastpitch coach at its regular board meeting on Jan. 28. Scott Bennett was appointed as the new leader.
Bennett’s resume includes a long history of coaching. He has coached a variety of sports at different levels, including varsity boys basketball, softball, track and JV soccer. He has experience leading teams to championships. His philosophy of

coaching is to “encourage teamwork, pride, and work ethic.” All of these are healthy for the individual athlete. Bennett’s connection to Forks is through his daughter, Wendy Bennett, who is the Art and Drama teacher at Forks high School. “I have always preferred the small-town setting and I feel it is a great fit,” he said. “I know that schools are an important part of the smalltown life and I am hopeful that our collective efforts produce success. I am always trying to improve myself and my team.” Bennett is a retired police officer. He will be employed as a substitute teacher within the district when he is not coaching. “I would ask the community to support all the Spartan teams,” Bennett said. “I am excited to work within the Forks community, and I don’t have to be here, I’m here because I want to be,” Bennett said. Bennett will hold the first meeting at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17, in the high school art room to meet his athletes.

Chatting Around the Campfire
Following in the Steps of The Berenstain Bears, Part 1 By Duane Miles As the effect of a November evening struck full force, I found myself located in a wilderness setting which I knew nearly as well as the back of my hand. However, even seeing the back of my hand was now impossible. As I stared into the formless blackness I contemplated my next move. This was not a problem though — for I would just reach into my backpack for the headlamp I knew was there. With this device a return trip the 6 mile hike back to my car achievable. After all, most of that route would be along an easy walking trail, even in the dark. If there was any concern on this hike, it would only be in the mile and a half stretch where bush-whacking
through deep gullies, swamps, thick underbrush and nearly endless windfall patches would be necessary. So I said to myself,” I can do this.” However, finding a flashlight in the dark is a lot like trying to replace a hinge pin on a pair of reading glasses, if you know what I mean. After what I thought was a thorough search of that pack, no light source was found. Had I set it down on the nearby log along with other pack items at some time earlier, I asked myself. By this time I was talking a lot to myself, though not so much that anyone
Free tax preparation available
would take notice. In truth, if you had been nearby, you probably wouldn’t have heard a word spoken. Soon I was groping at all the items along that log’s surface, hoping that I had placed that needed tool somewhere without remembering what I had done. Though this search did not produce a flashlight, I did find a paraffin fire starting stick to go with a pocket lighter. Soon darkness would be no problem with a heartwarming light source in camp throughout the long night ahead. I had earlier located several small slabs of cedar which were quickly dragged to this campsite. However, despite the current warm days and freezing nights, this wood was still
somewhat moist from the stormy wet weather a few days before. This is my excuse for exhausting that fire stick without producing a light source, and I’m sticking to it. Very soon after this failure to start a fire, frost began to form on the forest floor all around me. What was I to do now with frozen darkness all around me with no light or no heat source, other than meager body heat? Would I survive the night ahead with just the clothes on my body and no sleeping bag, tent or air mattress within miles? To be continued … May light for your feet guide you on the path of life until we meet again.

True Color Part 17
Steam Driven IEDs By Chiggers Stokes, Special to Forks Forum
What Melvin King gave me in a converted water heater was a cheap and inexpensive way to heat our 800 square feet of living space; cook (on a flat surface welded onto the tank); and hot water (if water was coming off the roof). But any wood stove built from a water tank will burn through in a couple of years, whether welded by Melvin King, Bob Stark or Andrew Carnegie. My wife, by her own admission, did not like to be cold. I may have told her she should get a job stoking the fires in hell. You would think with the last name of Stokes, I would be able to keep up with my wife in a competition of burning up firewood. But, in any case, in a couple of seasons, holes were burning through the Melvin King and, even I, realized it was time for an upgrade. My wife returned to the subject of needing a new wood stove repeatedly. She sprinkled stories of ultimate wood stove systems built by a local welder. She had personally seen these stoves and freely confessed her covet. They incorporate a stainless steel tank to replace brick in the firebox. It could heat water pronto. And my wife knew my weak side. “They’re built like tanks,” she taunted. “Even you couldn’t break one … But we will never be able to afford one.” Of course, I saw through her reverse psychology, but the contrarian in me made me go out and look for one of those stoves.
It turned out that anybody that had one, didn’t want to sell it. They were expensive. But it was a lifetime investment. The stove was called a Roger Whidden. It became a race between waiting for someone to die (to put a Whidden up for sale) and the holes that were burning through the King. I blinked and bought a Countr* (* character withheld to protect identity of brand name). It was a huge box with massive cooking area on its flat top. Into the thing’s firebox was plumbed one Hollyhydr* (*character withheld) water heater to provide us hot water. When asked to contain the fires of hell for just one year, the 3-foot cooking top of the Countr* buckled. Further, the Hollyhydr* water jacket had gone from its original rectangular shape to that of a sausage. Clearly, my wife did not like to be cold … and the Hollyhydr* getting ready to explode was my fault because I had introduced a gravity feed water system off the creek with 86 psi. Whomever was responsible, it fell on me to fix it. I arranged to have Roger Whidden work on it. I asked him to replace the buckled cooking top and the about-to-explode Hollyhydr* with something substantial. Roger may have salvaged material for the project from the Bismarck. I came to pick it up in an old fire truck we bought at government auction. It was a 1963 F-500 with 16,000 on the odometer. I had driven the truck many times in my work with ONP. It

was sprung for 5 tons. Those springs sighed and sat down as Roger loaded my rebuilt Countr* onto my truck bed with a forklift. As I settled up with him, he turned to the subject of safety and explained to me that replacing firebrick with a water jacket could result in steam-driven explosion. The system must have a pressure relief valve at the system’s highest point, and another, along its hottest point. Standard relief valves are pressure and temperature triggered. Temperatures around wood fireboxes exceed that pre-set point of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, so you need one that will protect an adjustable range of pressure. Under pressure, water can be heated to well over its boiling point at sea level. The problem of setting a temperature of over 212 degrees is that steam occupies a huge volume, compared to water. When superheated water is introduced to lower air pressure, it

super inflates. It explodes. “And you have someone to help you when you get home unload that stove?” asked Roger, concluding our tailgate safety session. “Sure do,” I replied. “It weighs considerably more than when you delivered it,” professed Roger. It sure did! When I asserted that I had someone to help me unload the stove, my wife’s frame came to mind. When we married back east, rather than a wedding ring I had purchased a well used but classic cookstove to attest my commitment to her. She had fallen through a partially rotten footbridge carrying her end of the stove. She held on, even falling through the bridge! This stove was more formidable, but I was sure she was up for the task. I knew she
was motivated. She engineered the construction of a stout ramp. Two 4 by 6 stringers led from the truck bed to a wooden ramp that led to our front door. From whence, had come the stove a few days before its retrofit. But, after muscling the stove onto the ramp, gravity manifest in 400 pounds of steel began to hold sway over friction and the resistance of 300 pounds of human flesh. I was over powered both by the momentum and a huge fear that my legs might be crushed by falling steel. I withdrew. My wife held on and rode the stove down one ramp, across another and into and through the bathroom wall. No, my wife didn’t go through the wall. Just the tiniest part of the stove made it all the way. “It’s a house that cost $850,” I pointed out. That is considerable insurance against financial catastrophe. My wife was unhurt. She complained about my cowardice, dusted herself off and, together, we trudged in and installed our Countr*/Whidde*. Having displayed its power by charging into and partially through our bathroom wall, this thermo siphon stove system sat quiet for two decades, providing years of hot water and warmth. Eventually a change in plumbing engineering would result in steam-driven explosion. Given the savage cruelty of wild steam, I would take my chances with gravity anytime.
