Measles vaccination clinics update: No cost vaccination available in Forks Clallam County Department of Health and Human Services continues working with local partners to stem the spread of measles in an outbreak involving four cases. HHS is working with Forks Community Hospital, Bogachiel Clinic and the Quillayute Valley School District to offer measles vaccine at no cost to local residents at two locations this week in Forks, in addition to previously scheduled clinics in Port Angeles. Vaccine will be offered at Forks Elementary School on Thursday, Feb. 26, in Room 102 and at the Bogachiel Clinic on Friday, Feb. 27. Clinic hours at both locations will be 1-4 p.m. Measles is highly contagious even before the rash starts and is easily spread when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes. If you are not vaccinated, you can get the measles just by walking into a room where someone with the disease has been in the past couple of hours. Children should be vaccinated with two doses of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, with the first dose between 12 and 15 months and the second at 4-6 years. Adults who have not had measles should have at least one measles vaccination; some people need two. The state Department of Health immunization program has online information about measles and measles vaccine and frequently asked questions on the immunization website www.doh. wa.gov/YouandYourFamily/IllnessandDisease/Measles.

Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County will celebrate the completion of its 24th house with a dedication ceremony from 1011 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 28, when homeowners Mark and Trina Weaver will receive their keys. The ceremony will be held at 421 Maloney Lane and the public is invited to tour the home before the Weaver family takes occupancy. The Weavers, together with their family, completed over 500 hours of sweat equity working on their home as one of the requirements for becoming Habitat homeowners. Through donations of money, materials and volunteer labor, Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County was able to build the home and will sell it at an affordable price to the Weaver family. Their monthly mortgage payments will be used to build more Habitat houses. “We are excited to complete our second Habitat for Humanity home in the Forks community in partnership with the Weaver family and members of the Forks community,” said Cyndi Hueth, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County. During the course of construction, many businesses and church groups throughout the Forks community contributed volunteers, morning refreshments and lunches to the volunteer crews. Local Forks contractor Conner Nielson was the site supervisor for the build. Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County, headquartered in Port Angeles, has built 25 homes since 1991. The nonprofit organization is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, an ecumenical Christian housing ministry. For more information, visit www. habitatclallam.org.

Just a note from a soldier serving on the opposite side of our great country to let you in the Forks area know just how much my family, friends and I enjoy National Geographic’s “The Legend of Mick Dodge.” In a household devoid of mindless entertainment, aka cable TV, Mick’s series is the only show I pay to watch. Mick’s brilliant humor, wit and comedic timing are unmatched. His hilarious practical jokes and mischievous pranks ensnare unwitting viewers. The world-class scenery around Forks doesn’t hurt either: majestic sea caves at Neah Bay, grand mountain peaks, enchanting rain forest and the impressive whitewater of the Hoh. Through his whimsical wandering, Mick motivates a part in all of us to abandon our cars, phones and shoes long enough to connect with our primeval roots. He emboldens us to put down our Big Gulps, get out of our

Judy Hosto

May 28, 1950 - February 15, 2015 Judy Hosto received the much-needed peace that is only God’s to give, on a warm, sunny afternoon, on February 15th, 2015. By the grace of God and the very much appreciated assistance of Hospice, Judy was able to spend her last days in the home of her son. There she received the love and care of her husband, sons, their wives, and her

three grandsons. Judy was born in Carlisle, Arkansas, the youngest daughter of Ralph and Harriette Maher Screeton. In 1979, she moved to Forks, Washington with her husband and two sons. She worked in Real Estate for 18 years before retiring. After her husband’s retirement in 2009, they moved back to Arkansas. At Judy’s request, they moved back to their home in Port Angeles, Washington in 2014. Judy’s main interests in life were her family, music, and genealogy. Judy was predeceased by her parents, four brothers; Brickert, Ricky Lynn, Billy, and Jitter Screeton, and one sister; Eldean Carpenter. She is survived by her husband of 43 years, Roger, two sons and their wives; Michael and Karla Fletcher, and Roger Jr (Beau Bo) and Elizabeth Hosto, three grandsons, one brother; Russell Screeton, and one sister; Shara Screeton. At Judy’s request, there will only be a private Mass for the immediate family. Judy’s friends should consider making a donation to Hospice or the Salvation Army and taking a moment to think of her while drinking their favorite beverage and listening to their favorite music.

Editor oversized recliners and explore the wild outdoors. Mick inspires us to a heightened awareness of the physical and spiritual world through wilderness emersion in the most beautiful, magical place on the planet. Yes, I’ve met Mick. In November 2014, I traveled from North Carolina to the Hoh and Sol Duc valleys to find this legend, and deep in the forest of the Hoh I met him – a happy man – adventurous, authentic and gracious. I found a man who is protective of his privacy, loyal to his friends and accepting of others with an abiding love and appreciation of the outdoors – qualities I understand, respect and live. After returning home from my trip to the Northwest, I am convinced that the appeal of “The Legend of Mick Dodge” is the allure of the Hoh Valley – wildly alive, magnificently formed, slightly unconventional and wholly unpredictable. I can’t wait to return to the Olympic Peninsula. Respectfully, Maj. Michael A. Schaad

Move over Twilight, Bigfoot is coming to town By Christi Baron

Book cover of Romag’s new book

Former Longview resident Clint Romag has released “The Bigfoot Contagion,” the first book in his new series “Legacy of the Sasquatch Encounters.” An outbreak erupts in Forks as men and women suddenly begin to turn into the terrifying creature known as Bigfoot. The town quickly becomes a killing zone as people are being slaughtered and more and more of its citizens are becoming monsters. Only high school student Brooke Hernson knows the cause of these transformations, but

An article in last week’s Forks Forum asking for an inexpensive or free clothes dryer for the Forks Animal Shelter resulted in the Friends of Forks Animals receiving not one but two dryers. The first one was a used but working model, which FOFA was thrilled with. Then an unidentified woman stopped by True Value and expressed her desire to buy FOFA a new dryer and Bob Stark, owner of True Value, said he wanted to go half on the purchase and install it for free. Stark is seen here with the dryer. Photo by Christi Baron

how can she fight an ancient evil when she has to do everything possible just to survive as the Bigfoot monsters go house to house hunting down every last person? In a phone interview with the author, who now resides in Los Angeles, I learned that Romag always has been interested in Bigfoot, but not necessarily a Bigfoot believer. A few years back when doing some research on another book on the Yeti, Romag told his sister he was going to the Hoh Rain Forest near Forks. His sister, a “Twilight” fan, said she was going along. They arrived in Forks during the “Twilight” frenzy

even doing the “Twilight” tour. The trip to Forks caused him to begin a short story about Bigfoot in Forks which eventually turned in to the book just released. Romag would love the Bigfoot trilogy to be made in to a movie, saying, “There is a big Bigfoot-believing community out there.” And as far as picking Forks as the setting he added, “Just because ‘Twilight’ was set in Forks doesn’t make Forks off limits for the setting for other books or movies.” He also had not heard of Mick Dodge.

THE REAL FORKS

Better Late Than Never … Right?

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford

A little over two years ago, an otherwise logical man came to a very illogical conclusion that I was wife-material. He proposed on Christmas Day with a karat and a carrot (seriously). Like any normal woman, the carrot won me over and I said yes. Knowing that it was a matter of time before he came to his senses, I insisted on a short engagement. Since we were making a minor move from Pittsburgh to Forks in two months, I suggested stopping at Reno along the way. Luckily, he went along with this plan. He also went along with my plan to write our own vows. As it turns out, writing your own vows is easier said than done. Extremely creative lines were coming to mind such as “till death do us part,” but nothing seemed quite right. I put them on the back burner, telling myself that I had plenty of time. Before I knew it though, we were on our way to Forks and I only had three days left to write the most important piece in my life. Thankfully, I had miles and miles and miles (and miles and miles and miles) of endless fields filled with cows to inspire me. Nothing says wedding vow inspiration like smelly bovine. Weirdly enough the cows didn’t give me any material. Soon we were pulling into Reno. I had a mere 18ish hours left. Most people would start to panic. Instead I went to sleep with the absolute certainty that something brilliant would come to me overnight. I would wake up and the words would effortlessly flow thanks to my dreams. I dreamt that I was marrying two cows. Go figure. I got out of bed and said to myself, “Eight hours left Christy! Pull yourself together!” We got to the altar and Jim told the officiating person that we would say our own vows. He went first. His were the perfect combination of humor and Hallmark card. When it was my turn, I said to the officiating person, “I’ve got nothing. I’m going to need yours.” At this point, Jim should have gone “Runaway Bride” on me, but he didn’t. As they say, good things come to those who wait. I have finally finished my vows. Without further ado: “My dearest Jim, clearly you realize by now that I am not wife-ish. For whatever reason you stay. This makes me question your judgment a bit, but you are very visually appealing so I’m going to overlook it. Also, you are absolutely perfect for me. I am reminded daily how blessed I am that you came into my life. Today and forever, I vow to love and honor you. About that obey part, it’s not going to happen. I’m just being honest here. Honesty is important in a marriage. I love you very much. Happy anniversary!” P.S. This is your anniversary present. Need a wedding speech written?

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.

Forks Loggers Memorial When you go to work today chances are you will return home tonight unscathed. The possibility that you will be injured or killed is in most cases the farthest thing from your mind. But if you work in the timber industry, even if you know what you are doing, the possibility of an accident is always just a moment away, and although safety on the job has gotten better, still too many wonderful people have lost their lives. On the morning of May 1, 1943, Simon Erickson, of Forks, and his cutting partner Louis Johnson, of Port Angeles, set out to do their jobs as timber fallers for the Ozette Timber Company. Erickson was born in Sweden in 1891 and was the youngest of eight children. He had come to the United States as a teenager and prior to his arrival in Forks, around 1933, he had worked a while in Katalla, Alaska, for the railroad and then in North Bend as a logger. On that spring morning in May 52-year-old Erickson and 56-year-old Johnson were falling a big cedar tree on the Ozette Timber Company Camp near Tyee. As the pair prepared to fall the tree, a limb shook loose from a hemlock tree nearby and it fell toward the fallers. Erickson saw the limb and yelled to his partner to watch out, only to have the limb pierce him through the right shoulder. So much force was behind the falling missile that it was driven through Erickson’s body severing an artery and he died instantly. For years the Erickson family wondered what had happened that day Simon died. A niece remembered him as “the most kind, wonderful man you could ever meet. He was good to the core.” And she always had heard that her uncle had

sacrificed his life that day to save his partner. Had the time it took to warn Johnson cost Erickson his life? It seems that it did. In 1920 the Washington Safety Board issued a statement that logging was more deadly than war. It wasn’t until 1932 that logging fatalities went below 100 for the year. After World War II the state Legislature allocated money for more safety programs. The Forks Loggers Memorial remembers those who have lost their lives working in the timber industry as well as those who spent a lifetime working in one of the most dangerous professions there is. March 31 is the deadline to submit photographs and new Honor Roll nominations to be included in the upcoming new Forks Loggers Memorial Tribute Book. Organizer JoMarie Miller describes the effort as a heartwarming project to honor past timber workers and our heritage. The last printing of the Logger Memorial Tribute Book was in 1994. Everyone nominated to the Logger Memorial Honor Roll since that printing will be highlighted in the new book, to be released around Hickory Shirt/Heritage Days in the fall. Copies of the first book are still available. For more infor-

mation or questions, contact JoMarie Miller at 360-6404326. Simon Erickson was not the first person to lose his life in the timber industry and sadly he wasn’t the last. That day in May in 1943 he saved a life at the cost of his own and that should never be forgotten. Christi Baron, editor

HISTORY TALES TO FEATURE ONP SKIING Roger Oakes will talk about his new book “Skiing in Olympic National Park” at the Clallam County Historical Society’s History Tales lecture series at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 1, at the First United Methodist Church, 110 E. Seventh St., Port Angeles. Parking and entry to the church’s social hall are on Laurel Street. Oakes has been in love with the Olympic Mountains from his Boy Scout days in the 1950s. Working through Arcadia Publishing, Oakes brings memories and vintage photos of skiing at Deer Park and Hurricane Ridge to print. He has been intrigued by the local community’s memory of the Deer Park Ski area and this untold story is part of the book. Oakes began skiing at Hurricane Ridge in the late 1950s and in 1986 was a founder and first president of the Hurricane Ridge Winter Sports Club.

After graduation from high school in Port Angeles, Oakes graduated from Stanford University and the University of Washington School of Medicine. He practiced family medicine in Port Angeles for 37 years and in 2004 won a Community Service Award. Oakes will have copies of his book available for sale. If you have already purchased the book, he will be happy to sign it for you. All royalties from the publication are being donated to the Hurricane Ridge Winter Sports Education Foundation. HUNTER EDUCATION CLASS NOW FORMING The next hunter education course in Forks will begin March 2 at the West End Sportsmen’s Club.

A parent or guardian is required to attend the first night of class with their student and are encouraged to attend all classes. Additionally, if your student is under 10 years old, a parent or guardian must accompany them to all classes. Students must pre-register and can do so by going online at the WDFW website and follow prompts to Hunter Education, Traditional Class, registration.

Take a hike!

By Deric Kettel When we hear those words from someone it usually means that perhaps we’ve said something wrong and maybe it’s time to take our exit. However in this case it can mean something completely different. What we are talking about here is getting out and “Taking a Hike” on the newly improved Olympic Natural Resources Center Trail, known to locals as the ONRC Trail. Since we have had a really mild winter here in Forks, so far, and spring is just around the corner, why not take this opportunity to get out and enjoy the great outdoors a little early this year. When you think of the name Olympic Natural Resources Center, what should stand out is the word “Resources.” One of the greatest resources that we all have in this part of the world is one that is free, fairly easy to access and sometimes closer than we think, getting out and enjoying the place we all have come to call home. On any day, even when the weather isn‘t ideal, you can see trail users in the morning before work, at lunch and really anytime enjoying the trail. From 1997 to the present, local folks as well as visitors to our area have enjoyed the trail that starts at the visitors center and brings them up to the ONRC. Over the years there have

been a lot of improvements to the trail as well as time and materials put in to keep this great resource open and safe. We have appreciated all the help from the community whether it’s calling or e-mailing me when they see a concern on the trail, to actually taking a little ownership by trimming low hanging

branches and kicking gravel into small holes. A couple of weeks ago, with the help of the Olympic Correction Center’s Community Service crews, we were able to replace three bridges and add some more gravel to the trail to keep walkers safe. We would like to acknowledge OCC for the help we have

While it wouldn’t be nice to tell Mayor Bryon Monohon to “take a hike” it looks like he was one of the first to do so, trying out the recent repairs to the trail. Photo by Deric Kettel

received over the years with different projects like trail maintenance. Without them I could not have accomplished nearly as much up here. OCC continues to be a great community resource and we look forward to this relationship in the future. So, if you haven’t been on the trail in a while or this is the first time you are hearing about it, then we welcome you to come check it out. You can park up at the ONRC and walk around and down to the visitors center, or if you are looking for a bit more of a challenge, park down at the trailhead by the annex building near the big stump at the visitors center and walk up and around.

Also keep in mind the great trail located behind the visitors center and timber museum that takes you through some large timber areas. The total distance, depending on where you start and finish, can be as little as a quarter mile and as much as 2.5 miles. It’s all up to you. Also watch for future signage that will highlight different features on the trail, such as vegetation, early logging activity as well as an interesting pioneer water system. Please enjoy this great trail located so close to town. So, the next time someone tells you to “Take a Hike” maybe, just maybe they are talking about the Olympic Natural Resources Center Trail.

Forks Youth Wrestling Club Reno bound The Forks Youth Wrestling Club is planning to send 15 wrestlers to participate in the Flo Reno World Championships on April 10-12 in Reno, Nev. This is the largest and most competitive national youth wrestling tournament in the country. With more than 3,000 wrestlers from more than 40 different states, the Reno World’s cements itself as (hands-down) the largest wrestling tournament in the country and most likely the world. The Forks Wrestling Club is excited to help provide this opportunity to engage local youth in this positive and productive activity. The club has held several fundraisers already including a bake sale, jog-a-thon and the sale of firewood. The club would like to thank those members of the community that have already supported its efforts. A special thanks goes to the Forks Lions Club. Future fundraisers are planned including a spaghetti dinner and raffling of a cord of firewood.

If you would like to donate or support the club’s efforts, contact the club’s treasurer Erin Queen at 640-2723 or head coach Kyle Weakley at 640-8136.

Steam Driven IEDs – Part 2 By Chiggers Stokes, Special to Forks Forum

Shown above, the Roger Whidden stove water jacket system in author’s home.

I am glad that she prevailed on these issues, but there have been some problems with interfacing modern plumbing with what-ever-it-is-that-I’m-doing. Fortunately for my then-aboutto-be-ex-wife, she had moved out of the marriage and into a modern home in Oregon before the explosions started. Your modern plumber knows a lot about setting up radiant floor heat with Pex pipe, but they may not be long studied at home pioneering. I moved the Whidden thermosyphon system to the new home, but the hot water tank was on the floor above the

Copper radiator built by Roger Whidden previously used in author’s cabin.

wood stove. The system depended upon electric pumps. If you’re ever going through divorce … and things aren’t going well … and you’re thinking that life isn’t so great … there’s nothing like a little steam explosion to get your attention and make you realize that life is better than some kinds of death. It sounded like a tank cannon! I ran to the stairs and choked on the blast of hot steam. My furnace room was a killing field! You can’t have Pex pipe that close to a wood stove. Pressure set to relieve at 100 psi did not prevent a subsequent explosion. I had to replace my hot water tank anyway, so I called a real plumber to watch me hook up the thermosyphon to the conventional hot water system. I had another steam explosion right after he left. Many modern hot water tanks have check valves on their hot output side to prevent backflow. That check valve made my system a bomb. It took about six explosions to locate most all of the inap-

propriate Pex placements and replace them with stainless flexible hose. I put an extra holding tank on the same level as the furnace and that relieved the need for a constant source of electricity to pump water when the stove was going. I thought I had things under control when I left a couple of friends watching TV in my house as I headed out for a brief jog. I was a hundred yards from my house when I heard the steam explosion from my basement and turned to look back at my house. My guests came flying out the side door and ran from the house at a pace much more earnest than mine. They ran right by me. They weren’t overreacting. Steam explosions are tough.

brate With U e l e C Announce Your Special s Occasions in the

For almost 20 years my family enjoyed the warmth and hot water afforded by a wood fired thermosyphon system, designed by local welder: the late Roger Whidden. The secret of NOT blowing ourselves up, or at least NOT scalding ourselves to death, was a free, un-interrupted flow of water through the system. Water had to draw from the bottom of a holding tank, drawing up into the bottom of the stainless steel heating jackets, passing out in an upward direction from the top of the water jackets to the top of the holding tank. My holding tank was on in our pantry and the stove was in on the other side of a wall in our kitchen. But it was all on one level to allow for the thermosyphon. There were workable pressure relief valves on the system. Anything otherwise is a bomb. I went back to Roger Whidden and reported my water was too hot. We were trying to bathe, not cook lobster. Roger designed and built a copper radiator for me which I installed in our living room and plumbed with the same design. I was running 12 volts for a lot of home power applications at the time and so I installed a large car radiator fan behind the unit Roger built for me. My wife got used to the huge visual intrusion with the warmth that spread through the house. I have admitted in previous pages of this column to melting my house plumbing. By not installing a check valve on my hot water tank, I allowed it to happen twice. We tried to get back to the West End from Seattle during a November storm that closed both Highway 101 and 112. When we got home the next day, our gravity feed water system was knocked out by flood. We didn’t get it repaired that Sunday and started a warming fire to send our kid off to school. When my wife and I came down the hill early that afternoon from repairing

the water line, I dared a little prayer. I asked that the plumbing work in the house and not be leaking. Opening the door, we found prayers unanswered. The hot water had again melted the cold water supply and all the rest of the plumbing. The system had gone on to steam clean the house along with the pressure washing it was getting from a runaway 80 psi water main. As we stood there taking it in, the phone rang. The school calling: Our 8-year-old daughter was injured and needed to be taken to the emergency room. There’s nothing like such a message to get your attention and to help you realize that any utility is vanity in a threat to your child’s well-being. My prayers turned to higher calling and we had a whole kid back before Christmas. After 20 years of living in a rustic cabin, I retired with the intention of building a real house. It came as little surprise that my wife insisted that the foundation, roof and plumbing be subcontracted out.
