And the ribbon is cut as the grand opening ceremony got under way last Saturday. The ribbon was decorated by area children. Some of the ribbon cutters were a bit excited and started early; others seemed to have dull scissors.

Nearly 200 West End residents packed the new Rainforest Arts Center on Saturday to celebrate the community center’s grand opening. Forks civic leaders and community members cut a long red ribbon on the front walk at 1 p.m. before a dedication ceremony was held with Quileute tribal singers from LaPush and speeches by some of those who had taken part in rebuilding the city’s arts center. The opening ceremony for the $2.1 million, 6,300-square-foot building at 35 N. Forks Ave. was a festive affair with laughter as, for the first time in more than two years, the community again had a place to gather. The building was designed by Matthew Rumbaugh and Boris Srdar of NAC Architecture of Seattle, who created the building to resemble a large circular saw evoking the town’s timber history. Another feature that embraces the town’s logging history are peavey door handles at the main entrance as well as the doors to the great room. Before and after the ribbon cutting local artists offered art demos. A family dance Saturday evening was well attended. On Sunday even with the good weather a good number attended the first film to be shown at the RAC, “Singin’ in the Rain.”

THE REAL FORKS Meeting Mick

Opinion FORKS FORUM

Thursday, April 23, 2015

The Westernmost Newspaper in the Continental U.S.

Commentary

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford “Just so you know, I write a column for the Forks Forum and I make fun of you a lot in it.” That was how I introduced myself to Mick Dodge when I met him the other day for the first time. Awkward? Maybe for him, but not for a girl who tries to cover up her awkwardness with more awkwardness. Contrary to popular belief, Mick doesn’t live out in the woods. He actually lives under a rock. I know this because he had never heard of my column or me prior to our meeting. Thanks to me though, he finally got introduced to “The Real Forks” … because I forced him to read one of the columns. As a side note, I brought a cellphone over to him with the Forks Forum page of the column displayed and asked him if he knew how to work “one of these.” He did not. I gave a quick technology lesson. I made Mick read the column titled “My Cousin Mick” because it was completely dedicated to him. If you missed that column because you too live under a rock, I wrote, “Mick, my favorite cousin, I need a loan. I’ll pay you back in a week, pinkie swear.” While he was busy reading the column that was written about him, I went back to work because I was at work and that’s what one is supposed to do at work. Approximately 15 minutes later, I returned to my cousin, Mick. Obviously, 15 minutes is not a long time … except to those people who have the attention span of a seagull. Mainly, me. Basically, I had almost completely forgotten even meeting the guy by the time I got back to him. Therefore, it was quite the shock when Mick “randomly” asked me, “Well, how much?” “Excuse me?!” I responded. Now, this is a PG paper (I think) so I’m not going to go into great detail on this question or what it implies, but I will say that when a lady is asked, “How much?” it is usually meant offensively. Mick quickly realized that I was not exactly the genius of the family (it never takes people long to realize that) and said, “You mentioned that you needed a loan. How much do you need?” “Oh, yes!” I said. We laughed and laughed and laughed … and then I forgot to throw out an amount for that loan I wanted. Dang that seagull attention span! It always gets in the way of my best laid plans! Dave Barry once said that a humor columnist should only make fun of people who deserve it. As it turns out though, Mick Dodge is a pretty cool guy. Then again, so is the mayor. What can I say? I make fun of everyone, deservedly or not. E-mail me at christyrasmussen@yahoo.com. If you don’t hear back from me, my seagull attention span most likely got in the way. 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.

A rainless RainFest I would like to start a petition to rename the Forks Old Fashioned Fourth of July … RainFest, because it seems to me in my memory of the past 30 something years of RainFest there have been many more sunny times in April than the Fourth of July has enjoyed … in July. OK, I know it will never fly, but it is just a thought. Having thrown that out, I will move on. Last weekend was an amazingly beautiful one, with an umbrella parade that kept the sun off of the participants instead of rain. It also was beautiful in the fact it brought some life and activity to what has been a rather sad and quiet downtown. My own personal contribution came Saturday night when Forkestra, the Forks Community Orchestra, played at the family dance sponsored by Friends of the Forks Library and the newly formed Rainforest Council for the Arts. The event was a fundraiser for RCA. Forkestra has been around since 1996 — Deborah Dillon and myself are original members. Our very first meeting was at the old Rainforest Art Center and some people actually came to the meeting to tell us we would never last. So almost 20 years later I think you could say we have survived. Over the years members have come and gone and new members always

are welcome. Before the family dance started, Willow Roundtree and Roger Lien gave those that wanted them a few dance lessons. It was great to see as the hour progressed how people started getting the hang of the steps and then it was time to get the family dance started. Under the direction of Mike Tetreau, playing saxophone, the Forkestra played several waltzes, some polkas and a couple of swing numbers including “Singin’ in the Rain.” Things really got crazy when we were playing “Beer Barrel Polka” and the trombone playing of Mayor Bryon Monohon and Matt Kuka, Quillayute Valley School District music teacher, drove the dancers into a polka frenzy, resulting in a several dancer pile-up near the north side of the dance floor. Luckily, nobody seemed to be injured and with Deborah Dillon being a nurse, she kept an eye out for any lingering injuries. “The Blue Danube Waltz” also was one of the numbers played. Violinists Barb Nowicki and Cindy Bork have dreamed about the day they could play this number. Although I was very happy for them, it meant that I, playing clarinet, had four and five sharps to deal with, but I was glad to suffer through the key changes so their dream could come true. The youngest member playing with Forkestra last Saturday night was Max Buckner. He is in the eighth grade and does a great job on the saxo-

phone. The oldest member, Dorothy Burr, plays clarinet. She is 87 years young. When Forkestra finished its set, the music and dancing continued in to the evening. Everyone agreed this activity needs to continue. On a sad note I got an anonymous e-mail that my office crow Russell was found deceased behind the former J&P Produce building. I was assured he was given a proper burial. I don’t think he died of natural causes.

Watch for transponders on the beach Those cleaning up beaches this weekend are asked to be on the look-out for instruments released from Japan called “transponders.” These floating instruments are about the size of a 2-liter soda bottle and were set in the ocean from different ports off Japan in 2011-2012 after the massive Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. Researchers from Tattori University for Environmental Studies in Japan have been collaborating with Oregon State University, Oregon Sea Grant and the NOAA Marine Debris Program on the project. The researchers’ goal is to track the movement of debris via ocean currents and help determine the path and timing of the debris from the 2011 disaster. An estimated 1.5 million tons of debris was washed out to sea and it is expected to continue drifting ashore along the West Coast of the United States for several years, according to Sam Chan, a watershed health specialist with Oregon State University Extension and Oregon Sea Grant. “These transponders only have a battery life of about 30 months and then they no longer communicate their location,” Chan said. “So the only way to find out where they end up is to physically find them and report their location. That’s why we need the help of fishermen, beachcombers and other coastal visitors. “These bottles contain transmitters and they are not a hazardous device,” Chan added. “If you find something that looks like an orange soda bottle with a short antenna, we’d certainly like your help in turning it in.” Persons who find a transponder are asked to photograph it if possible and report the location of their find to Chan at Samuel. Chan@oregonstate.edu or to the NOAA Marine Debris Program regional coordinator in their area at http://marinedebris. noaa.gov/contact-us. They will provide shipping instructions to persons who find the transponders so that the instruments can be returned to the research team.

Open Mic at the RAC

By Sally Milici

The Rainforest Arts Center was christened with art, crafts, film and music over the weekend of April 18-19 with the community coming out in force to witness “Phoenix Rising” from the ashes of the old RAC. And what a rising it was! I want to share how wonderful the Open Mic segment of the weekend was both for participants and performers alike. The newly established Rainforest Council of the Arts is to be congratulated on what a magnificent job all the members and volunteers did. I had no idea if we would have five or 55 performers show up for the open mic but knew somehow it would work itself out and so it did. Fifteen acts: musicians and singers as solos or duos, a storyteller, a singer/songwriter and a lively young lady with her trumpet, all contributed to a rousing good time. The musical variety was wonderful! Country, folk, rock and roll, classical and punk were all represented in the mix. The feedback from the performers was that the RAC needs to provide this venue more often for musicians to be able to showcase their talents and how glad they were to have an enthusiastic audience and to make connections with other musicians in town. One particular comment from an audience member that struck me as indicative of what a grand event the Open Mic was is this: An older woman came up to the punk rocker and said to him in so many words, “That was not my kind of music but I loved that you played it here and you did a really good job. It’s about time we broadened our musical experiences. Thank you!”

RAC Grand Opening Speech

By Mayor Bryon Monohon Welcome and thank you for being here on this joyous occasion. I use the term joyous with all of the happiness, awe and respect that the word joy can bring. Indeed in the hours that I have spent in this wonderful building already “joy” is the word that I most connect with the feel of the space and the energy of the building. I trust that we have been able to maintain the continuous thread which creates the fabric of this community in and through the construction of this building. On some days that is easier than others but I’ve always been optimistic about the type of people we are and what we are able to accomplish. As days and time pass in our lives on the West End, we are unified by all that is around us, the pouring sheets of rain, the winds howling through the trees and forest, the roar of the surf, the fish swimming in the rivers and pulling on our fishing rods, the echoes of bugling elk in the woods, the rising moon over the prairie and the rumble of log trucks passing through town. Mostly, we are unified and drawn by our own company, by the quality of the people that live here and share lives with each other and actually care about each other. We still realize that quality of life is valued by faith, sharing a piece of pie or a loaf of bread, a short trip to town or to LaPush, visiting a friend, working on a craft project, going fishing or hunting, attending a dance or a show, going camping or hiking, or attending a basketball game or school event. After a long day of working out in the woods, there is a great joy in just being warm and tossing back a good drink. We don’t need to keep up with the Joneses so to speak. We

can be who we are and could be totally self-sufficient if the modern world would only allow us to be so. The Rainforest Arts Center or RAC as it is known has been a labor of love and the building in one form or another has been a key and vibrant part of the Forks community since the early days of the city. As the original use of the building as an Odd Fellows Lodge began to wane, in the early 1990s a dedicated group of volunteers worked with the city to save the building and continue to inspire future generations of users. I have some fond and not so fond memories of the old RAC. The performance/lodge room had a lot of ambiance and hearkened to an earlier time yet still felt modern in the works and displays presented there. The stairwell up to the lodge and the unreliable excuse of an elevator that was present were less favorable aspects of the building. Anytime you take an old building and slap the word

IF YOU USED THE BLOOD THINNER XARELTO and suffered internal bleeding, hemorrhaging, required hospitalization or a loved one died while taking Xarelto between 2011 and the present time, you may be entitled to compensation. Call Attorney Charles H. Johnson 1-800-535-5727

“arts” on it, it of course means different things to different people. There are some people who went to plays and concerts in the old building all of the time. Other people hadn’t been in the old building since they were much younger and it was a lodge. Some people just assumed that it was some old building and didn’t pay it any attention at all. Some of the best plays I ever saw were in the old building. They were fun, they were spontaneous, they were clever and there was a lot of character. Lela Kriebel once wrote a play that revolved around poisoned pink cupcakes. You can assume that pink cupcakes were what was available as the concession at intermission. I’ve never thought about food the same way since. The Rainforest Players are a major reason this new building stands. Take time to say thank you to each of them and I like everybody look forward to seeing a new production in

Forks Transit Center

the future. Still, I honor the memories that we lost. Don’t forget them. Upon opening the 2015 version of the RAC, I am comfortable that we have incorporated the best features of the old building and that there is a continuity of feel and texture for all generations. We have balanced the construction of a building that is both reflective of who we are as well as being architecturally significant. Is it the same building? No. Does it feel the same and provide the opportunity for similar memories? I think so. I hope that the building continues to feel the same or even more essential to all of you. May the way the windows pass light around the room, kids sleeping on the benches and the dance floor springing under a person’s feet last through the ages. May this building be an inspiration for the generations that follow us and may inspiration come from here that is beneficial for all. On an occasion like this it is difficult to balance the thanks that need to be said versus having them drag on through the afternoon. I’ll offer my thanks as mayor and attempt to be brief with apologies to anybody that doesn’t get their fair stead. In no short order: Thanks to the citizens of Forks for your support, input and ideas. Thanks to the arts community on the whole with thanks from me to Dr. Stephen Kriebel, Ellen Matheny and Warren

Brown. Special thanks and the mayor’s award to service above and beyond the call of duty to Jerry Schlie with kudos to Rod Fleck and Audrey Grafstrom right on his tail. Thanks to the Forks City Council for its support of our community. Thanks to the Association of Washington Cities and the insurance pool. Thanks to Rob Corser and the University of Washington for their vision and assistance. Thanks to Matt, Boris and Steve from NAC Architecture for their ability to process the thousands of little details we provided them. Thanks to Hoch Construction and Eli and all of the craftsmen that worked on the building. I heard repeatedly from individuals working on the building that it was really a joy to work on and be part of a project that really meant something and was being built to specifically show their handiwork. And also a big thank you to my wife Beatrice who has had to patiently bear with me during the good days and some days that just weren’t as good as others and more importantly being there over the long haul. So, to the citizens of Forks with joy in our hearts and joy in the building, let’s own our community and our future, share our friendship and fellowship, and provide a space with potential to inspire our youth and future generations. The building is yours! Let’s celebrate, offer thanks and

True Color Part 20

A Word About Water Part 2 By Chiggers Stokes Special to Forks Forum

Next to the Eagle Ranger Station, across from the Sol Duc Hot Springs, a tiny creek runs under the road next to a water treatment shed. Some of the water from this little unnamed creek is captured a quarter mile up the hill and runs down to the utility shed in pipe buried beside the creek. There the water is filtered, dosed with chlorine and pumped back up to a holding tank across the road and up the hill from the campground, distributed, there-from, by gravity. The utility serves the park housing, campground and ranger station and is typical of rural federal water systems. Following close on the heels of The Clean Water Act of 1972, The National Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 required disinfectant of any surface water and set 4 parts of chlorine per million parts water as the lower limit. That is well above the threshold of human taste detection. Public drinking water in Olympic National Park is scrupulously monitored for fecal coliform, which won’t hurt you, but is indicator of other pathogens, such as Giardia, that might. E. coli are used as water quality indicators because they are easy to culture. The water lab for the park is by Lake Crescent Lodge. With exceptions in cattle

Locally Focused

country, I prefer to drink wild water, than that of public utilities. There is risk to drinking wild water — and it can be easily disinfected, but there is risk to drinking public water, as well. According to the Federal EPA, “disinfectants themselves can react with naturally occurring materials in the water to form byproducts, such as trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids, which may pose health risks.” To those that say, “You are what you eat.” I reply, “Yeah, but we are 65 percent water.” Wiser or more original writers have claimed that people are water’s way of getting around. It’s at least half true. And what a powerful thing it was for me to reflect that 65 percent of this thing I call me was made of those water falls and springs of the Sol Duc … and beautiful Hemp Hill Creek, which ran through my property as well as my pipes … and continued to run through my heart and veins. I was taught by my parents to revere water. I was taught in school that it is the basis for all life on earth, if not the universe. For more than a decade, I worked summers as a backcountry ranger out of the Sol Duc and winters giving warning tickets and a few violation notices to speeders around the lake. It wouldn’t be hard to guess which season I preferred. During this mostly magical time of my life, my mother in Oregon suffered a stroke. She had to re-learn how to swallow water. She spent a couple years valiantly trying

Condemned to death by dehydration - Phyllis K. Stokes, author’s mother, May 7, 1921-Aug. 7, 1995

to relearn how to walk and talk. After all that effort, she had a couple more strokes that took away everything but her ability to convey by signing. She used the one hand she could control to point to herself. And then she drew her finger across her throat. She asked for my help in dying! We brought in Hospice and they came up with the same translation: Phyllis K. Stokes’ only want was for her own end. Oregon had passed a Death With Dignity initiative, but no doctor would go near it for reasons of liability. Hospice explained to my mother, with my sister and me for witness, that her two choices boiled down to starvation or dehydration. Any mass murderer in this country is given more humane treatment! In August 1995, my supervisor, seasonal rangers and vol-

unteers filled whatever gaps were caused by my absence. On my sister’s farm, I sat by my mother’s bed and waited for Death to come. An intentional death required certain cruel protocol such as my mother being conscious to demonstrate her will to die and a large mug of water remaining within her reach for the whole ordeal. My mom had taught me that you would die in three days without water, but could go weeks without food. That always has figured into my own survival schemes. Surely it figured into her thinking on her un-survival scheme. Hospice told us, it would likely not resolve that quickly. It didn’t. Eight days out my mother ran out of hydration to make tears. This did not stop her crying. She would suffer two more days.

I went back to work and sent out letters to all my mother’s friends, asking them to remember her exactly one week after her passing. A week after her death, I took the mug that had held the lifesaving water that she had foresworn and followed that little creek by the Sol Duc water treatment shed up to falls above the intake. As August beat down, I sat in the shade and drank and drank. I felt that cold, pure, wild water pass my tongue and down my throat. I tried to feel it all the way into my bloodstream. I gave thanks for a mother that could share a reverence for water and to live in an environment that could produce such a wonderful supply of it. A month later I was in the Mohave Desert on the Pacific Crest Trail. I was brooding about the loss of my mother and how water plays into every picture of life. It was 30 miles from the trailhead at Cajon Junction to the first water source. It’s hard not to think about water in that kind of environment. By coincidence, I was walking on footprints left a few months earlier by a young woman who was likewise regretting the loss of her mother. The woman was Cheryl Strayed. She wrote of her experience hiking the Pacific Crest Trail that year, as did I. Overnight, Strayed became to the PCT, what Stephenie Meyer is to Forks. Strayed’s book, “Wild,” sold millions of copies and put her on the New York Times Best Seller List. A movie was made of her book and, like Meyer, she is worth millions. We both got what we wanted. I write for the community of Forks for free. Thank you for this privilege.

Quilt raffled The Piecemakers Quilt Club of Forks’ main goal is to educate and encourage people to start quilting. In order to accomplish this goal, the group has one quilt raffle each year that coincides with the Fabric of the Forest Quilt Show and classes. The money raised covers the cost of the show and pays to hire teachers to come to Forks. The quilt was on display at Chinook Pharmacy. The drawing for the quilt was held at the end of the quilt show at the Forks High School auxiliary gym.

Fabric of the Forest Quilt Show statistics The annual quilt show sponsored by the Piecemakers Quilt Club of Forks brought in a good number of people from out of the area. Attendance at the quilt show and classes: Quilt Show – 381 Total – 212 (out of town) 169 (local) 28 (overnight) Friday Class – 17 Total – 11 (out of town) 6 (local) 5 (overnight) (Teachers – 2 (out of town) – Stayed at Misty Valley Inn) Lecture – 37 Total – 16 (out of town) 15 (local) 4 (overnight)
