Clallam County officially forgives $205,710 in Forks pool district loan debt

In a 3-0 vote, Clallam County commissioners agreed to release the QVPRD from its debt of $205,710 which was the remaining balance owed to the Opportunity Fund. In a decision that was previously made Jan. 20, the board agreed to forgive the remainder of a $225,000 no-interest loan to protect the taxpayers of the entire county. The Quillayute Valley Park and Recreation District received in 2004 a $160,000 grant and a $225,000 loan from the county’s Opportunity Fund to buy land, rental homes and equipment to support the community pool and recreation center. The Opportunity Fund is a portion of sales tax that supports public infrastructure projects and personnel in economic development offices. District chairman Nedra Reed, a former Forks mayor, asked commissioners in a Jan. 11 letter to forgive the balance of the loan, citing tough economic conditions. The state attorney general issued an opinion in November 2013 saying the district could not use timber tax revenue to pay back the loan. The district had made three annual payments of $6,430 toward the loan. Peach and Commissioner Jim McEntire had previously said that the money given to the district should not have been a loan in the first place. The district runs the Forks Athletic and Aquatic Club at 91 Maple Ave.

Recent mill closures and Allen Logging Co.’s upcoming stoppage were hastened by the state’s failure to sell logs that were authorized to be sold on North Olympic Peninsula trust lands. A combination of staff shortages, legal challenges and the protection of a threatened seabird prevented millions of board feet of timber from being harvested in Clallam and Jefferson counties, state Department of Natural Resources officials said. The 247 million board feet of Olympic-region timber that was supposed to be sold from 2004-2014 but wasn’t sold — “arrearage” in forestry parlance — would have been enough to keep the shuttered Interfor sawmill in Beaver and planer mill in Forks running for four years and the idled Green Creek mill in Port Angeles running for about 12 years, said Rod Fleck, Forks city attorney and planner. The amount of timber on the region’s trust lands that DNR was authorized to sell but didn’t in the past decade is worth upward of $68 million, Fleck said. Fleck for years has tried to spur DNR to sell all the timber it is authorized to sell. Such sales support trust beneficiaries such as county governments, hospitals and school districts. Fleck said that groups within the environmental community have stalled harvests with lawsuits — but added that DNR has not done enough to meet its sustainable harvest calculation for the past decade. Recently, Fleck has taken DNR to task for arrearage in a series of presentations to local civic organizations and other groups. “It is not surprising to a lot of folks in the industry that we had a set of mills close on the peninsula,” Fleck told North Olympic Timber Action Committee members in April. Bill Peach, one of the three Clallam County commissioners — he lives in Forks — and a former Rayonier forest manager, encouraged the public to keep track of the issue. “I like the work that Rod has done to try to quantify arrearage in dollars and cents to the user, the juniortaxing-district users,” Peach said in a May interview. “That’s important work. That’s your tax dollars.” To read the entire article go to PeninsulaDailyNews. com.

More thoughts on the bible hand-out

Dear Editor, America sure gets confused about religion. The U.S. Constitution prohibits laws with respect to free exercise of religion. If the Washington state constitution is worded differently, it may need to be corrected. Schools are government property and I am sure the U.S. Constitution applies at schools. On private property, the property owner can allow or not allow whatever religious policy he or she wants. So, does the new Forks school have a library, even a “virtual” one, with Internet access? If so, probably students have unlimited access to the Bible, the Koran and God knows what other religious information. They also probably have access to Nazi propaganda and history of World War II. So, no, I don’t see how taking bibles to school, and even giving them away there, is anyone else’s business. Certainly not a police matter. I agree there are some ideas and ways to present them that I wish could be kept away from schools. Child sex photos can land the holder in prison, so

I hope that activity would be reported to police. But so many things are illegal anymore that many people believe everything they don’t like should be illegal. Anymore, you probably could be reported to the police, for handing out the Bill of Rights on the 4th of July! Al Pelletier Clallam Bay

The Freedom to Share

Dear Editor, Thank you for the freedom to share. And the freedom to express I have for some time been a Christian (42 years). In that time I have seen these folks who pass out bibles on public sidewalks in front of schools verbally molested and even physically forced from properties, not here in Forks, but I wonder, is that to come? I was a bus driver in Arizona in years past and was asked if I might allow such actions, while on a public sidewalk, to pass out Bibles to the children — most by the way wanted one. The point of the previous writers that we are free from actions of religious nature in school, though bothers me, since it was in schools in the

beginning of this nation, that the Bible was taught, and even used as a reader, and ABC’s were taught from it. Have we as a nation fallen so far from our roots!? Granted as with Stan’s (Letter to the Editor last week) comments, it is now required that anyone who shares anything, in or on any other’s properties, have the permission of said property owner to share such materials, Bibles or otherwise. I feel personally that they who do, should and usually do make such a request, (it has been my experience). I would hope that the willingness of administrative staff to allow such actions. Thank you all for sharing your “feelings” and legalities. I trust that the youth and families of this community will allow such materials as the Bible to be shared anywhere in this community, without molestation, after all it is our right as Americans to do so, with permission. May this community and country continue to be blessed because we allow such freedoms, as are given by our Constitution, (U.S.) and the articles herewith that allow such freedoms to ourselves and our children!

THE REAL FORKS Educate yourself

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford In response to a column that I wrote a few weeks ago, a lovely lady from out of town (and clearly a fan) e-mailed me. She wrote those three little words that everyone loves to hear: “Educate yourself sometime!” That was it. No “How are you? How are the kids? How’s the weather?” Just a simple direction to educate myself. Not wanting to let a beloved reader down, I set out to become educated. This wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. Her directions were very vague. Where would I even start? I really wanted to make this reader happy. Yet I had no idea what exactly I needed educated on. I decided that I should just educate myself on everything … to cover all the bases. There is no such thing as too much education. On a Tuesday afternoon, I read the Bible, the 2014 World Almanac, the new health care bill, the Los Angeles phone book, every edition of the New York Times, the newest tax code and Harry Potter … but only the third one. Four hours later, I was confident that I had educated myself thoroughly. I knew all there was to know, with the exception of who really let the dogs out. The world will never know who did that … When I e-mailed back with my newly acquired education, she said that she meant that I needed to educate myself on the issues of Forks. Unfortunately, it seems that my helpful fan was talking a little bit more figuratively. It’s really hard to tell what people mean in an e-mail. Some people are not born with the talent of getting sarcasm across in writing. Now, I’ve lived here for the better part of my 29 years. Therefore, I thought suggesting that I learn more about Forks was rather silly. I think I’m well educated when it comes to my hometown. After all, this is where my family has lived since the last ice age or so. I guess I was wrong. My reader was much more educated … thanks to the Internet. In an attempt to learn as much about this town as the lady who has never been here (just an irrelevant detail of course), I went to the library. I was searching for a book titled, “Forks, WA, for Dummies” or something like that. Our library didn’t have any such books, something I’m sure my fan already was well aware of. I e-mailed this lady back to ask where I might find this kind of book or a similar website. She replied that she was done talking to such a talented writer with an extremely wonderful sense of humor … or something along those lines anyway. Unfortunately, I have no idea at this point how to become educated on Forks. I really wish I would have been born and raised here. Oh wait …

Logging and Mill Tour still sharing our story

I had been on the Forks Chamber of Commerce Logging and Mill tour three times before last Wednesday. But last Wednesday was different — it would be the last time I would go on the tour that there would be a stop at Allen’s Mill. The first time I went on the tour was in 1996 or 1997. The spotted owl had come to town and the logging industry wanted to get the real story about logging out to the public. That first tour our guide was Ben Lonn and we took a drive to a logging site up behind the Sportsmen’s Club and there we watched Greg Ar-

cher top a tree — somewhere I have that event on film. That day we also went to a shake mill on Russell Road where it was dark and noisy and we stood right next to the guy running the saw. I was afraid we were making him nervous and he would lose a finger, but he didn’t. The second time I went on the tour Randy Messinbrink was the tour guide. The tour group went to a logging show that Dahlgren Log was working. We got to see the logs being yarded in and the choker setters doing what they do. At the stop at Allen’s that day we were told that the mill was only operating

at half capacity. We were told they were exploring new markets in hopes of creating some more activity at the mill. That day we did not get to go to a shake mill and that was unfortunate. My fellow CONTINUED on page 10

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.

Jr. Babe Ruth Baseball Season wraps up Forks Thrifty Mart’s Jr. Babe Ruth baseball team ended its season June 11 at Fred Orr Field in Beaver where it lost a heartbreaker to Athlete’s Choice of Port Angeles 4-3 in extra innings. A win would have placed them in the play-offs in Port Angeles against a team that Thrifty Mart had defeated both times during the season. Thrifty Mart played some great baseball this season with several games going down to the wire. Pictured are action shots of their last game against Athletes’ Choice.

COMMUNITY, from page 6 THE NEW NORTHWEST PASSAGE FILM SCREENINGS AT YOUR LIBRARY The North Olympic Library System will offer free screenings of the documentary film “The New Northwest Passage” at various library locations this summer. The film will be screened at 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 17, at the Sequim Library and at the Port Angeles Library. The Clallam Bay Library also will show the film at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 11. Since the discovery of the New World, the Northwest Passage has been an elusive dream for explorers and mariners seeking a shortcut between Europe and Asia. For centuries it remained an unattainable prize, luring men hungry for fame and fortune to sail north. Their wooden sailing ships were crushed in the ice, leaving few clues to the suffering of their men. Until now. Climate change is causing temperatures in the Arctic to rise twice as fast as elsewhere on the globe. The ice is melting, but this remains an epic yachting challenge, attained by fewer people than have climbed Mount Everest. “The New Northwest Passage” tells a tale of adventure as the 40-foot yacht Silent Sound and her crew set off to sail through the infamous passage, pitting their humble boat and skills against this historic challenge. Storms, deadly ice and mechanical failure threaten their progress through a harsh but beautiful corner of the earth. The crew dropped anchor in Inuit villages where they joined hunters in stalking their game and experienced the last vestiges of an ancient nomadic

culture. They went caribou hunting with three generations of an Inuit family and learned about challenges facing this way of life from an old woman skinning seals on the beach. They followed field scientists testing climate change theories on an Arctic island. “The New Northwest Passage” is a grand sailing adventure set on the front line of climate change.

The Forks Elementary School year-end assembly got off to great start with a most enthusiastic rendition of the Pledge of Allegiance. Principal Rob Shadle served as master of ceremonies as many student received awards such as High Five and Cooperation Awards and the Walkathon fundraiser awards, (for which FES students brought in $7,000.) Darel Maxfield Sr., secretary/ treasurer for the Mt. Olympus Masonic Lodge of Forks, was on hand with six bikes. They were prizes for the FES Accelerated reader program. The reading program is a joint effort between the Masonic Lodge and the Forks Emblem Club. The Forks Masons purchased the bikes. This is the second year that the Emblem Club has sponsored a “store” where students could make purchases with “money” they earn after reading a book and taking a quiz. The points earned, from reading the books, are traded for the money that can be spent at the store. Emblem Club fundraisers, such as their monthly dinners and catering, help pay to stock the store. Also winning a prize for the reading program was Rowan Ball. She won first place for third grade and her prize was an Kindle card from Amazon for the Kindle she won last year.

Logging and Mill tour participants check out the landing and some of the equipment.

MILL TOUR, from page 4 tourists that day were from all over the country. The third time I went on the tour I went with “Twilight” fans. We went to a logging site where Randy Parker was working. The “Twilight” fans marveled at the choker setters and how fast they ran down the logs. That day we got to see a road change. Our stop at Allen’s was fantastic as the mill was humming with activity. Joe Seymour was the guide that time and I wrote a column about the trip for the Peninsula Daily News. In the column I spelled Seymour wrong and Joe will never let me forget it. Last week I went on the tour again. As we loaded up the tour bus, I learned that those taking the tour were from Ohio, Colorado, Minnesota and British Columbia. The bus was packed, a full house. Joe Seymour was once again at the wheel and nobody really knew what “Twilight” was. As we traveled south from Forks, Seymour told the group about the types of trees, how old they are when

cut and the difference between private land and DNR cutting practices. The group fired off a lot of great questions for which Seymour had all the answers. The first stop at Allen’s mill was sad. To see the employees working and knowing that they only had a few weeks left at their jobs was really difficult. Our logging site that we went to was not operating but those on the tour got a good look at some of the equipment used as well as a great photo opportunity of Mount Olympus in the distance. We experienced a bit of excitement when we got locked behind a gate but luckily it wasn’t for long. Arriving back at the Visitor Center, one of the men on the tour wished Seymour good luck and shook his hand. He said because the mill was closing he was sorry that the tour was ending. Seymour replied, “Oh, we’re not done, we’ll adapt and just change the tour, we still have a story to tell.” The tours have been booked solid since they began again for the summer season.

RAC wall completed

The RAC wall covering project was a collaborative work of the University of Washington’s Architecture Collab/Fab studio that Rob Corser, associate professor, founded and directs. Corser and various groups of his students have been working in Forks and with the RAC for three years now. The building design is by NAC architects of Seattle and they worked with the students and with the acoustical engineer Bill Stewart to develop these wall panels. After getting some community input from the city and RAC users, the students took that feedback and created the concept for the wall coverings. The materials are primarily plywood — the visible surfaces are “Apple Ply” — no apple wood involved, but the faces are

maple veneer. Underneath there is a lot of acoustic insulation. The function is primarily acoustic and visual of course, too. The pattern is meant to evoke shapes of trees and mountains and hills. All of the fractured triangles on the top serve a very important acoustic purpose, but also use triangles to respond to the old Odd Fellows Hall and the importance of the number 3. They are fractured in memory of what was lost in the fire, while the lower walls are calmer — to assist with the healing and new activities that are re-building this important community space. The lower panels also flip between wood (for acoustics) and pin-up surfaces for art exhibits. The strong horizontal rail between the lower and upper por-

Memories of a former fire look-out

Forty years ago, 1975, about this day, I had just committed to my summer job. I wasn’t 18 so I couldn’t work in the woods. My ole man got me a position as a grounds keeper/gofer and relief lookout with the DNR in Forks. It was either that or spending my second summer with the 20-man fire crew at the Clearwater Honor Camp. Spending two (mid-week) nights away from Forks weekly sounded better than full time at the Clearwater. So the Tuesday after graduation, I took off to Sekiu Mountain. “Go pick up Ted at the lookout and take him to Clallam Bay, and go back to the tower.” That was the first instruction. “On Thursday, go back to Clallam Bay, get Ted take him to the Mountain and c’mon back to Forks” Was the only other. With the Red 1967 International Travelall, a map and my gear I took off. Ol’ Ted (Olson?) retired Coast Guard, had spent many years as a fire lookout, many summers alone on the top of some isolated hill, watching, waiting and reporting on weather. He gave me the basics of the fire finder in the middle of the room. Then showed me the radio and ran through a transmission so I could get the idea of that requirement. Few other instructions (The weather station devices and reporting, the stove, lights, crapper and something about a flyby everyday around 6 p.m., from Crown Zee). He had me radio out to Forks, “Sekiu Mountain to Olympic Base.” Ms. Joutsen answered back, “Go ahead Sekiu Mt.” “Over.” “Heading to Clallam Bay. I will be out of the tower for 90 minutes,” I reported. “Over.” “Thanks Sekiu, call in when

you are back.” “Over.” “10-4.” “Sekiu out.” Ted and I talked for the 30 minutes to on the way to CB and I dropped him off at the tavern just in time for lunch. Back to the lookout I went. Forty-six hours of solitary ahead. CKLG on the FM radio, the Straits and Vancouver Island to the North, Lakes Ozette and Dickey to the south, the Pacific to the west the Olympics to the east. Sure beat thinning saplings with a bow saw in the Sollecks with the Clearwater crew. Got my weather report out at 5 p.m. and said goodnight to Ms. Joutsen “over and out” Turned off the radio at six, five minutes later got buzzed by a small plane. Woah! After the third week Ted told me to leave the radio on until after the Crown Zee plane went by, I missed that part of the instructions I guess. I got to watch the fog roll off the ocean and envelop everything but the tower. Night views above the clouds with Mount Olympus reflecting the moonlight. Mornings were similar with the west end valleys socked in. A lightning and thunderstorm traveled down the center of the Straits one night, not close at all, but I spent most of my time watching it standing on the glass insulated little stool. Once it passed to the east I felt better. Ted told me of a night when the tower got hit and he shared a half second with a lightning bolt as it hit the fry pan on the stove and the corner where the grounding rod was in the wall. Woah! One late afternoon I saw dozens of crows hop by. It seemed an hour passed while one or two at a time moved

tree to tree past the tower. Had a day where the bug hatch filled the windows with flying insects by the thousands. Caught a smoke rising one day, called in and let Forks base ( I think Deb Goos was on the other end that day) know where and what I saw. I think it was my ole man checking to see if I paid attention to the fire finder instructions. I reported Azmuth OK, distance OK, no wildfire. Mark Norbistrath was my only visitor that summer; he rode in on his dirt bike all the way from Beaver. Thanks Norby. I went down to pick up Ted that first Thursday, “Stop at the hardware store,” he says as we headed out. I can’t say I enjoyed his selection of hardware but did find out that he had a stash of Monarch whiskey which needed replenishing weekly. Had a few pulls off the fifth with him, but never took more than offered, I knew the value he put on that low dollar whiskey in that out of the way place. He showed me how to load his black powder rifle. Of course I took a shot one day. He never mentioned the stick I poked through the hole in the crapper wall. I turned 18 and went to college that fall, never had to work as a minor again. The rest of my Forks jobs were typical to the day, shake bolt cutting, shake packing and a little mushroom picking. I left in 1978; married with kids I came back and saw the tower at the museum in the nineties, probably our 20th class reunion, had to take the family in. I spoke with the info desk attendant and she told me this interesting story of how this tower came to land in Forks. Correct me if you know differently.

There was another tower just south of the Hoh on Mount Octopus. Not far from the Olympic Corrections Center (We knew it as the Clearwater Honor Camp). In the 1970s the Clearwater Honor Camp closed and was operated by the DNR as a fire base with us non (convicted) criminals living there. A 20-man fire crew was based there every summer, as well as the three man pump truck crews and the timber cruisers that came in and out. In 1974, I was up there with Hanify, Sullivan, Borde, Gockerell, Markham and others. We had a good summer and fought real fires several times. (A nice break from the thinning and trail building, until Hanify and I got chased from our position by 20-foot flames when the fire burnt the hoses between us and the truck. Scary as hell, really.) In the eighties the prison was re-opened so that was the end of the summer fire crews stationed up there. We would see Mount Octopus from the road and the tower standing tall at the top. When the talks about a timber museum began, I’m sure the directors/volunteers knew a lookout tower would be a great exhibit. She told us the intended tower at Mount Octopus was carefully dropped to the ground by the convicts and after they left for the day smoke was seen on the mountain — by the time anyone made it back to the top, that lookout was destroyed. I’m sure a it was a spectacular sight from the corrections center watching the flames light up the night sky. Not sure who was contract-

ed to get the Sekiu Mount lookout to the ground and set up in Forks, but guessing probably not the same cons from the Olympic C.C. What a great story to hear, as I didn’t realize that the lookout tower just outside was the same one that I had spent time in as a younger man. As the Mount Octopus tower was not manned in the years I lived in Forks, it was a better feeling for me to have the last manned lookout tower from the West End as the survivor on display. And also Ted had been the last fulltime lookout serving the West End. I still selfishly thank the cons who “carefully prepped” the Mount Octopus tower. That visit to the museum also gave me a chance to pay respects to some school friends who are memorialized there. We all miss those taken early and the thoughts of the lives we remember with them always end with good memories. Jim Blair, RIP, was a good friend; we will miss his smile again at this year’s 40-year reunion. So, how about it Class of 1975? Time to show some love for the Forks Timber Museum and the Loggers Memorial. Not just for the needed repairs to the lookout tower, but for the spirit and soul of those who built our hometown and who live on in the stories and memories on display at the Forks Timber Museum.

True Color Part 23

Alternative Energy – A Shortcut to Insanity By Chiggers Stokes, Special to Forks Forum

Since I walked away from the grid in 1973, it didn’t take many nights for Coleman lanterns and oil filled lamps to lose their charm. The fire hazard, smell, and expense of such lighting contributes to the appeal of electricity, even before the advent of L.E.D. bulbs. But running a generator to power a few lights doesn’t make sense because your average generator is about a five kw unit capable of running 50 100 watt bulbs or enough lumens to burn the hair off your cat. Your average generator is inefficient for lighting because it produces too much power. The remedy is store that extra power in batteries and use the batteries as backup to the generator. The problem here is that house power is around 120 volts alternating current and a battery is usually 12 volts direct current. Inefficiencies occur with each conversion of power. So, in a scenario where you wanted to put extra power into batteries while running a conventional genset, you would need a big battery charger capable of pouring 50 to 80 amps into a battery bank. Then you need an inverter after the genset goes off line to produce house power off the charged battery bank. I began my electrification of the Flying S Farm 37 years ago by bringing charged batteries from work. I had some old communication wire I had rescued off a dump pile and ForksPolice Dept.

strung out car lamps with dc switches. It beat breathing kerosene. Soon I purchased a tiny 700 watt genset that offered built in 10 amps d.c. charging. But it was a noisy little devil and I leaned to apply Ohms Law to evaluating my energy systems. Electricians reduce Ohms law to PIE where Power in watts is equal to I (current in amps) multiplied by E (voltage). Watts equals volts times amps. I said it over and over to myself so I would never forget. With this formula I realized that I was only getting about 120 watts out of a genset designed to put out over 700 watts or about one horsepower. So that was inefficient. My wife, during these times of early experimentation was an avid reader of Mother Earth News. She pointed out an article by some electrician-turned-outof-work-hippie that you could wire 8 to 10 batteries in series to produce a jolt of direct current which would power normal incandescent bulbs and run any brush motor such as a circular saw. I bought 10 “Died Hard Batteries” From Verle Poole’s Sears below the RAC/Oddfellows building. I constructed a switching system so that I could charge 10 12 volt batteries in parallel and then jump it up to 120 vdc by putting the whole array in series. The electrician-turnedhippie-writer forgot to point out that this system will fry pretty much any home electronics you plug into it and will burn up switches on

24 volt direct current genset, fabricated by Alan Quigley of Forks Auto Electric. Built with a high efficiency Honda engine this unit will charge a 80 amp hour, 24 volt battery array in about two hours, using about a pint of gas. Can be started and stopped remotely.

your tools...and even your household switches which are not designed for the punch of alternating power. My light bulbs would unscrew themselves, there was so much punch. All my circular saws were on the bench awaiting new switches. But, that November in 1981, I found out that you can drive Christmas lights on 120 vdc and I was on a ladder stringing lights over a wilderness creek, to put squirrels in the proper seasonal spirit, when I first discovered what direct current feels like going through an aluminum ladder. If you chained me to the ladder, I still would have caught air. When I picked myself off the ground, not even 4 strings of already illuminated Christmas lights cheered me up. I learned that you can wire a house up to code and use that system to convey battery powered direct current to incandescent lights and other low voltage direct current applications. I’ve learned that unless you sign or idiot proof every

helped me with the basic wiring and field control once I had bolted the engine and alternator to a piece of plywood. It was not elegant, nor was it designed to last forever. But it sure charged batteries and didn’t use much gas. I was playing around with a 40 watt solar panel, but in January of 1982 it was the artificial light by which I learned to wash dirty diapers and rescue my precious new daughter from their grip.

socket, someone will destroy some inductive device by plugging into your battery. In fairness the electrician turned hippie-writer made a great suggestion. His idea was to take a lawn mower engine and belt a car alternator to it. I found young Alan Quigley working for his step dad at Dilley’s and asked if such a thing would work or blow me out of another ladder. Alan expressed great optimism for the system and

Journey of the SV. Nikolai

A dedication ceremony for a monument recognizing the ship wreck of the Sv. Nikolai will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, June 20. The structure is at 5333 Upper Hoh Road. By Christi Baron

Destruction Island Sign Once upon a time this sign was located in the turn-out along the highway near Kalaloch. Directly opposite Destruction Island, it told of several early explorers and their ill-fated attempts at exploration of the rugged coast of what would become Washington. This photo was taken in 1974 by Donald Leavitt of Forks. Does anyone know what became of the sign and wouldn’t it be great to have something like this back again?

One of the most beautiful spots in the West End and maybe even in the world is Rialto Beach. Located 12 miles from Forks, the rugged shoreline with its amazing beauty on occasion even plays host to wedding parties, producing a unique experience and amazing photos, but for one newlywed Russian couple an unscheduled stopover at this breathtaking location would prove to be anything but a honeymoon. Nikolai Bulygin was the captain of the Sv. Nikolai, a schooner about 45 feet long. Bulygin was sent in 1808 to explore the coast of Washington for possible new settlements. Eighteen year old Anna Petrovna had just married Nikolai and accompanied him on the trip. The voyage had a mandate from Alexander Baranov, the head of the Sitka base, to gather information in advance of Russian colonization. Anna, along with her husband, Russian fur hunters known as promyshlennik, an Englishman, Aleut men and women, and a part-Russian teenager, went ashore on Nov. 1, 1808. This was after almost a week of being adrift and tossed around by gale force winds and large swells in the turbulent Pacific, drifting from Destruction Island southwest

of the Hoh River north about 20 miles to the beach near LaPush. After escaping the sinking vessel and reaching the shore, the party used sails draped over wooden yards from the shipwreck as tents. They lit a fire and prepared to head south dozens of miles to Grays Harbor where they hoped a companion Russian ship, the Kad‘iak, would pick them up. Almost immediately there were problems with the Quileute, Hoh and Makah, who were accustomed to fighting each other and strangers. Anna was captured and her husband went a bit insane, refusing to give up his search for her, no matter how many of his crew died or were captured. At one point Anna was brought back for ransom, but the price demanded was the guns of the Russians. Without them, they would have no way of hunting food or protecting themselves, so, although Bulygin begged his men, they refused and Anna was taken

away. In the spring, the castaways finally were led to Anna; the Russians had managed to take some women themselves as hostages and hoped that Anna could now go free. To their shock they heard Anna say that she was satisfied with her condition and did not want to rejoin the Russians and she advised them to surrender themselves. Bulygin collapsed at the news. Later he and part of the remaining crew surrendered to the Indians and they eventually found themselves traded as slaves. As slaves, Bulygin and Anna were together at times. Anna Petrovna died in August 1809. A heartbroken Bulygin died of advanced consumption the following February. The survivors were rescued by American fur traders in May 1810. It was during their miserable stay, around Dec. 10, 1808, when snow started to fall, that CONTINUED on page 17

NIKOLAI, from page 16 the party decided to build a structure on the upper Hoh. To commemorate their story, the Association of Washington Generals sought donated land near the Hoh Rain Forest believed to be at or near the original location where the Russian survivors once took refuge. Bill Sperry, of Forks, coordinated the memorial project. The structure itself is completed and a dedication ceremony is now planned. Former Forks Forum editor Chris Cook has compiled much information on the story of the SV. Nikolai. It is Cook’s hope that somewhere in some West End resident’s attic lay some of the pieces of the Nikolai. The book “Women to Reckon With” written by Gary Peterson and Glynda Peterson Schaad also tells the story of Anna, as well as many other memorable woman of the area. Until death did they part, the tragic story of Anna and Nikolai.
