Lieutenant governor makes a stop in Forks Lt. Gov. Brad Owen addressed a packed house at the Forks Chamber of Commerce meeting June 17 at JT’s Sweet Stuffs in Forks. He started off his talk expressing his love for this area of the state, the Hoh, the Bogachiel and the other recreational activities the West End has to offer. Owen recognized Bill and Kitty Sperry, who were in the crowd, calling them Forks’ biggest cheerleaders. He mentioned their efforts in projects such as the Fort Núñez Gaona – Diah Veterans Park in Neah Bay and the more recent Sv. Nikolai monument on the Hoh Rain Forest Road. Owen told the group that as a member of the Washington State House of Representatives, starting in 1976, he represented the district that includes Forks. Over the years Owen also has been active in mentoring programs.
BEAVER
Owen was elected as Washington’s 15th lieutenant governor in 1996 and re-elected in 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012. He explained just exactly what the lieutenant governor does. Some of the duties include taking the place of the governor if he leaves the state, assuming all authority, he can cast the deciding vote in case of a tie vote. Owen said the general political climate has changed so that members of both sides are reluctant to even talk to “the enemy.” He added that the greatest impediment to good government is partisan politics. “It is the same problem we are seeing on the federal side, we need to get together. We are all Americans.” Owen said the current impasse in the state is about the source of funds to pay for increases in school funding ordered by the state Supreme

With heat and drought rapidly increasing fire danger in western Washington, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources is expanding last week’s burn ban from DNR-protected lands in eastern Washington to include those west of the Cascades. The statewide burn ban will run from June 22-Sept. 30. “Westside forests are drying out and the outlook is for continued warm, dry weather,” said Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark. “These conditions make it clear it’s time for a statewide burn ban.” The statewide burn ban applies to state forests, state parks and forestlands under DNR fire protection. It does not include federally owned lands such as national forests, national parks, national wildlife refuges or other areas administered by federal agencies. In 2015 so far, there have been 306 wildfire starts throughout the state. Last year’s fire season was the biggest on record in Washington, with the largest state fire ever, the Carlton Complex, destroying more than 250,000 acres. More than 1 million acres of Washington’s landscape has been consumed by wildfire since 2009. DNR is awaiting legislative action this summer on requests for $4.5 million for additional firefighting teams and equipment, and $20 million to improve the health of drought-ravaged, flammable forests. The statewide burn ban applies to all outdoor burning on DNR-protected forestlands with the exception of recreational fires in approved fire pits within designated state, county, municipal and other campgrounds. Charcoal briquettes may be used only in approved campground fire pits. Fireworks and incendiary devices, such as exploding targets, sky lanterns or tracer ammunition, are illegal on all DNR-protected forestlands.

Court in the McCleary decision. That decision — named for Stephanie McCleary, Chimacum schools’ human resources director and a Sequim native, who was the lawsuit’s chief plaintiff — said the state must fund basic education, now mostly supported by local tax levies, by 2012. Owen said the state needs to make an investment in tourism, saying, “Our investment in tourism has gone down; it is a mistake.” Owen addressed questions about DNR harvesting practices, where the lottery money goes and he had no comment on President Barack Obama’s trade agreement.

Sol Duc River closed to fishing near Sol Duc Hatchery Action: Closed to fishing the Sol Duc River from 200 feet downstream of the hatchery outfall creek upstream to the concrete pump station at the Sol Duc Hatchery. Effective Dates: June 18 until further notice. Species affected: All species Location: Sol Duc River, from 200 feet downstream of the Sol Duc Hatchery outfall creek upstream to the concrete pump station at the Sol Duc Hatchery. Reason for action: Low water is causing a
delay in migration past the hatchery, resulting in greater vulnerability of the wild spring/summer chinook to fishing pressure. This is likely to remain a problem until stream flows increase in the fall. The Quileute Tribe is implementing a similar closure to subsistence fishing in the vicinity of the hatchery. This closure is needed to protect wild chinook. Information Contact: Mike Gross, District 16 fish biologist, 360-249-1210; David Low, Area fish biologist, 360-249-1216.
Fire burning near Queets The Paradise Fire remained on the north side of the Queets River and as of press time its exact size was not known. Too much smoke made it difficult to get a precise measurement. An infrared flight was conducted Monday night, which allowed more accurate mapping of the fire area. It is important to note that the fire is burning in a very remote area; it is not threatening any life or property. Every effort has been made to stop the fire’s spread and crews will continue suppression activities when it is safe to do so in areas that are accessible. But in much of the active areas, options are limited. Rolling rocks, falling snags and unstable burning material make it impossible for firefighters to build direct lines at this time.
Continued warm temperatures and low humidity are expected through this week and the fire likely will increase in size and complexity. A National Incident Management Organization has been ordered. This highly qualified team consists of seven people including the incident commander, fire behavior analyst, public information officer and specialists in operations, planning and finance. Current resources include 18 firefighters and two helicopters. The helicopters are using bucket drops to slow the fire’s spread in the drainages. A portable water tank has been set up along the Queets River for helicopters to dip from, so they are not filling buckets directly out of the Queets River. A public meeting regarding the fire was held Monday night in Port Angeles and an-

Charles (Chuck) Eugene Henry May 5, 1947 - May 12, 2015
Charles (Chuck) Eugene Henry of Forks, Washington passed quietly away on May 12, 2015 at the age of 68. Chuck was born in Seattle, Washington on May 5, 1947 to June Henry (Durboraw) and Charles Eugene Henry. A double Purple Heart recipient, Chuck was a scout dog handler with the 9th Infantry in Vietnam between November 1966 and November of 1968. Chuck is survived by his sister Jan Gourley of Port Angeles, Washington; brothers Randy Henry of Sequim, Washington; and Mark Henry of Forks, Washington; step-brother Bill Durboraw of Forks; seven nieces and nephews. He will always be remembered for his friendliness, his love of fishing, and loving his family. Chuck was preceded in death by his father Charles E. Henry and mother, June Henry Durboraw of Forks, Washington. Chuck worked as a sawyer for several different shake mills but while working at one mill, he had an accident and lost three fingers, resulting in him moving to Port Angeles to be closer to doctors and treatment. It was at this time, he also had to have two hip replacements from the effects of Agent Orange. After some time, Chuck was enrolled in a vocational school outside of Seattle, but the day before he was to leave, he was involved in a hit and run accident in Port Angeles. It was a serious head injury and required an airlift to Harborview Hospital in Seattle. He was in a coma for approximately three months and then moved to the Veterans Administration hospital in Seattle. As he healed, he was finally able to come home but needed ongoing care so Mom naturally took care of him. After her death, Chuck was able to get an apartment in Sequim and then, because of the head injury and ongoing problems from Agent Orange, and later a fall in which his leg was broke in several places, he went to live at Retsil Veterans home in Port Orchard, Washington, until his death. Notification of family services will be at a later date. Donations may be made to any veterans group or association.
THE REAL FORKS Painting Forks Red Editor’s note: While Christy takes a break please enjoy another re-run…… By Christy Rasmussen-Ford A few weeks ago, after a particularly tough week down at the city hall, the mayor stopped by Dave Zellar’s office and said to Dave, “After a week like that, you really need to paint the town red this weekend!” Dave, who is in charge of painting projects in Forks, took these words literally and got to work immediately. He thought he could have all of Forks painted red by Sunday night, but it was a big job. As with all government projects, there was a mandatory 5:1 ratio of “supervisors” to actual people working. This is a Federal Law in case you didn’t know. That is why you always see a group of workers watching one person do all the work. We all joke about it, but it’s a law that must be followed. Because of the lack of people allowed to actually hold paint brushes, only a tiny fraction of Forks was painted red. Dave was disappointed, but he knew that the mayor would understand that his hands were tied over the 5:1 law. On Monday morning, Dave informed the mayor of his progress. “I’m sorry to say that I only got a small portion of the town painted. I just couldn’t get it done in one weekend.” Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, the mayor said, “Dave, painting the town red is a figure of speech.” As you can imagine, when Dave realized his error, his face was the exact shade of red that he had used to paint the town. Knowing that this misunderstanding would result in city officials becoming the laughing stock of the state and maybe even the country, the mayor summoned all city hall employees into his office for a meeting. The room was awkwardly crowded because the mayor doesn’t have an especially large office. This is irrelevant to the story, but I mention it in case anyone lays awake at night wondering how big of an office the mayor has. “We need a cover story for Dave’s recent mishap.” The mayor told his employees once the meeting began. Everyone was willing to help, with the exception of Rod Fleck, who said, “I can’t afford to be a part of any new paint scandals.” Everyone agreed that this was best. Many ideas were thrown out by the good people of city hall in an attempt to save face, but eventually the mayor decided to go with a simple, “Red stands out quite well.” In all honesty, I would have went with a better story such as that Outfitters was having a huge sale on red paint. Then again I’m not the mayor. Anyway, this is the truth behind why the fire hydrants have all been painted red. Whether or not they were the result of a blunder, they look fabulous. Well done Dave! If you would like to know the truth about anything happening in Forks (my version of the truth anyway), email me at Christyrasmussen@yahoo.com. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLICY

The Westernmost Newspaper in the Continental U.S.
Saving History, Hiding History This is a tale of two stories that appeared in last week’s Forks Forum. One is about saving our history, the other is about covering it up. In the first tale, former fire lookout Mike Drovdahl wrote in to tell his first-hand account of his summer job in 1975. He shared an experience that few of us have ever had. In sharing his story, a few more details came out about the real information on the Timber Museum fire lookout tower. The first question was answered by Randy Mesenbrink in that the last name of Ted mentioned in the story was Bradshaw. Mesenbrink, and after doing a little more research, the writer of the story Drovdahl, shared the following information on the true identity of the tower. “Originally, the Sekiu Mountain lookout was scheduled to be put up at the Forks museum but because of some misunderstood directions it was accidentally destroyed. The lookout had been determined no longer useable so was offered to the museum. It was blasted down by dynamite in such a manner as to save the lookout building. A remarkable job to blast the tower down but save the building. The building was dismantled in large pieces and put in a pile while the tower portion of the lookout (wooden tower) and other unusable pieces of the lookout were put in another pile to be burned. The crew that went to do the burning lit the wrong pile so the Sekiu lookout was no longer an option.
The Deming lookout apparently was in about the same shape as the Sekiu lookout, was the same design as Sekiu’s and also was to be taken down so the Timber Museum was able to procure it as a replacement. It came to Forks in sections on a lowboy and after the tower was built at the museum it was put together again in sections.” Mesenbrink also said that although the tower was the Deming tower, the interior furnishings and equipment in the Museum’s tower are from the Sekiu lookout. In Drovdahl’s article, he also challenged his classmates and friends to help with the tower repair fund and the “Hogs,” a group of friends that come to Forks each August for a hike, did just that and said they would fund the tower repair! The second tale is about the picture and story about the Destruction Island sign and where it went. I had a phone call and another person stopped by the Forks Forum office and both told the same story, both also wanted to remain anonymous. They both shared that one day the sign was just gone, when it was asked if another should be made, they were told no, it was
not to be replaced. It seems that the story told on the sign was not politically correct and someone somewhere decided to whitewash history by removing the sign. The inscription on the sign told of early explorers and their first interactions with local tribes. Is this news to anybody that the first encounters of explorers and the locals did not go well? So someone chose to hide it from the tourists? That is so wrong. In light of the recent monument dedication to the Sv. Nikolai, I think that sign needs to come back and we need to remember the old saying, “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.” Christi Baron, editor

Thomas Jefferson’s words still ring true today Dear Editor, The following are statements made by Thomas Jefferson. Would you please print these in the paper? “When we Get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, We shall Become as corrupt as Europe.” “The Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those Who are Willing to work and give to those who would not.” “It is Incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A Principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the World.” “I Predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government From wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of Them.” “My Reading of history convinces me that most bad government Results From too much government.” “No free Man shall ever be debarred the use of Arms.” email to youth@nols.org, or visit www.nols.org, where the library is always open.

“The Strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms Is, As a Last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in Government.” “The Tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to Time With the Blood of patriots and tyrants.” “To Compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he Disbelieves And Abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property — until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” Karl Holmquist Forks, WA Decorating should be completed by 5 p.m. July 1.

We have all heard the saying “You are what you eat,” but according to wellness coach Rhonda Heckman it might be more about “what’s eating us” that is making us overweight or unhealthy. In Heckman’s business she looks not only at what food a person is consuming but what emotional issues might be contributing to an unhealthy lifestyle. Heckman’s passion for changing the way people eat is evident when she talks about issues that we all have faced when we consume things that are not healthy for us. But surprisingly things such as blood type can have an effect on how our bodies digest the food we eat. Heckman also specializes in food addictions, digestive issues, food allergies and the healthy way to lose weight. Heckman also is certified through the Institute of Integrated Nutrition, based in New York. She recommends keeping a diary of what foods are consumed to rule out food allergies. Heckman is partnering with the Forks Athletic and Aquatic
Club and will be offering several free workshops sometime in July. If you have specific questions you would like answered regarding nutrition, food cravings, fluoride, ADHD
or any other topic that deals with what we put in our bodies, e-mail Heckman at rhondahckmn@gmail.com. and she will address them at the upcoming free workshops.

For Your Health:
June is National Hernia Awareness Month
Dr. James Flowers, Forks Community Hospital and Bogachiel Clinic, has been practicing in Forks for five years. Flowers and Dr. Gary Harmon share general surgery duties at FCH. Flowers shared the following facts about hernias: Hernia problems affect close to a million people every year in the U.S., involving all ages of men, women and children. Along with gallbladder surgery, hernia surgery is the most common type of surgery performed by general surgeons across the country. A hernia is a bulge or protrusion of tissue, usually part of the intestines, working its way through an opening or gap in the muscle/membrane barrier of the abdominal wall. The hernia may cause intermittent pain with exertion or it may remain painless for years. Often the bulge will reduce or go back inside with relaxation or
lying down. Occasionally the hernia may become trapped, requiring emergency surgery for “incarceration” or “strangulation” of the bowel. Fortunately, this is rare. Hernias are never the patient’s fault … they just happen to some unlucky patients due to everyday stress and strain. The most common hernias occur in the groin (inguinal or femoral) or umbilical (navel) areas, but they also can develop at the site of a previous surgical scar. Unlike many other medical conditions, hernias will never get better or heal themselves. The only exception is an umbilical hernia in an infant, which will usually close on its own by age 3. Surgery is the only curative treatment for hernias, but not every patient needs an operation right away. A period of watchful waiting is an alternative option for many patients, as long as symptoms permit, but most will
Dr. James Flowers. Photo Christi Baron
end up having surgery eventually. At Forks Community Hospital, repair of most kinds of hernias are done on an outpatient basis, performed by board-certified
general surgeons. Most patients are able to come in for surgery in the morning and go home in the afternoon. There always are risks, as in
any operation, such as bleeding, infection or recurrence of the hernia, but these risks are quite low as long as the emergency situation can be avoided. A few patients with complex hernias or individualized anesthesia needs may require referral to a hospital with more specialized resources available. Flowers says that the use of surgical mesh has increased the success of hernia surgery compared to surgical practices in years past. After hernia surgery, patients feel better and wonder why they waited so long. He pointed out another benefit to surgery at FCH, means the patient and their family don’t have to travel. Patients who think they may have a hernia may request that his or her primary care provider make a referral to the Bogachiel Clinic or any patient may call the clinic directly at 374-6998 to make an appointment.

Love John
By John Leavitt When we first started this journey together, I believe I mentioned I have hope in many ways. Hope in a brighter future, hope in family, hop e in community and hope in our nation and the world we live in. Beaten, battered and bruised like a rigging crew, our little town may be taking on another hit. My former place of work Allen Log is shutting down if nothing changes. My first reaction having left there a few months ago on the hope of being able to help encourage more people with my photography business and ministry, was to pray for them and the community. I prayed for my former co-workers to have hope. I prayed that hope would come to the community as well. Because as of right now there would be no major sawmill in our local area. I started to think and hope that maybe the local logging companies might invest in the mill together or the people of the town would. Look at Green Bay Packers they’re owned by the public. I hope that there will be somebody that steps in and invests in keeping a sizeable sawmill in our immediate area. Even if this does not happen, Forks will survive! I remember my son Justin commenting years ago as we drove down Hoh Hill toward Allen’s. I was taking him to
wash trucks there and he made the comment, “Dad our family owes a lot to Mr. Allen doesn’t it.” Wanting more of his thoughts I asked, “How so?” He replied something along the line of, you worked here, I work here, Uncle Mike (Crippen) works here and Grandpa Don (Lamb) worked here and so we all have had food on the table and clothes etc. because of him. I said, yes we have. I then added other family members and friends that had worked there or had helped to bring wood there by working in the wood industry. So much was said, in such a small amount of time. I’ll be revisiting this thought with him soon I’m sure. I will be picking Justin up on the 26th and spending time with him. We will be passing by Allen’s on the way home from the Portland airport. I will probably drive around the mill for him to see. Even in all the excitement of being back to Forks for the first time in almost eight years there will be the pain of what is missing and what has happened over that time. I am hopeful that when he sees his cousins he’s never met and by seeing his family and friends that he’ll be reminded of the love we have for him that it will outweigh any hurt. As I type this I get a text and he’s a bit nervous about coming home, I reassured him it would be fine and that I am a little

nervous as well. My nervousness is different as I will be doing a couple new things over the Fourth of July and yet I know it will all work out. It is fitting that I would be writing about hope as the Fourth of July nears. It is hope that this great country was founded on. Hope for a better life for all those that lived here at that time and those that would follow in the years to come. You see without hope you really have nothing but despair a friend said and I agreed. I don’t want to live in despair.
I know we have to be realistic at the same time, but I want to continue to have hope in all things as my faith in God has given me. I hope you can enjoy the celebration of our nation’s freedom during the week of the 4th. This is where my little bout with nervousness comes in. I will have some of my photos entered in the art show
and helping out. And if you happen to make it to the demolition derby you will hear my voice, I will be announcing the derby. This reminds me there is still a need for volunteers during the Fourth of July festivities. I hope that if you can you’d take the time to help out. Take care and be blessed my friend, Love John

At the last meeting for the season the Bogachiel Garden Club members enjoyed a potluck lunch and a presentation by garden club member Laura LaFrenz. The meeting was held at the Forks Community Center. The topic of the presentation was “Garden Jewelry.” LaFrenz told the group that garden jewelry can make your garden look special, make a statement and be a focal point of the garden. Garden jewelry can be a sign, a grouping of rocks and a million different things can be done with Mason jars. LaFrenz recommended Pinterest for a place to get ideas. What are the rules of garden jewelry? Put up what you love — the ideas are limitless — repeat a pattern, make a big statement, use rusty items, drift wood, old furniture, ladders — the ideas are as limitless as the people that garden.

“
hy don’t victims just leave?”
Those of us who work at domestic violence programs hear this question all the time. The truth is, they do. Every day we hear from survivors of abuse who were able to find the support and resources they needed to be safe and self-sufficient. Every day we also hear from people who are unable to leave because they fear the abuser will be more violent if they do. This fear is very real. According to the Washington State Domestic Violence Fatality Review, in at least 55% of homicides by abusers, the victim had left or was trying to leave. Many people are unable to leave an abusive relationship because they have nowhere to go. Our communities don’t have enough affordable housing, and shelters and transitional housing units are limited. On just one day last year, domestic violence programs in Washington could not meet 267 requests for housing. People often stay with or return to an abusive partner because they don’t have the money to support themselves or their children. We also hear from people who don’t want to leave, but want the abuse to stop. Research consistently shows that people in an abusive relationship make repeated efforts to be safe and self-sufficient, but there are many barriers—both external, such as limited resources or support; and internal, such as an emotional connection to their partner or a desire for their children to be with both parents— that makes this very difficult. But here’s the thing: This is absolutely the wrong question to be asking, as it implies that victims are responsible for ending violence. They aren’t. Instead, we should be asking what we can do to stop abusers from being violent and controlling. To find the domestic violence program in your community, visit wscadv.org or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800-7873224 (TTY). To raise money and awareness for domestic violence prevention, register today for the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

ALOHA NUI LOA! The West Kaua‘i Business & Professional Association and the Rotary Club of West Kaua‘i send greetings from historic West Kaua‘i, Hawai‘i the home of Pa’ula‘ula Heiau – Russian Fort Elizabeth. Congratulations on the completion of the Monument on the Upper Hoh River that commemorates the Russian American Company’s 1808 Sv. Nikolai schooner shipwreck. The Sv. Nikolai was built about 1805 by King Kamehameha of Hawai‘i as part of an invasion force with which he planned to conquer Kaua‘i. An epidemic

decimated the King’s army and ended his invasion plans. The Sv. Nikolai, then known as the schooner Tamana of the navy of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i, named for Kamehameha’s favorite queen Ka‘ahumanu, ended up in Baja California. There the Russian American Company’s Pavl Slobodchikov, a promyshlennik (Russian fur hunter and trader), purchased the schooner and sailed it to Hawai‘i with a Native Hawaiian crew. Kamehameha befriended the Russians and began sending food supplies to the Russian American Company at Sitka, Alaska, as a gesture of this international friendship. In 1816-1817 the Russian American Company set up a supply base and trading post on the south bank of Waimea River in Waimea, Kaua‘i. Today the historic fort site is a reminder of the short Russian venture into Hawai‘i between 1815 and 1817. RAC Governor Baranov

sent promyshlennik Timothei Tarakanov, the hero of the Sv. Nikolai incident, to Waimea to advise Dr. Georg Anton Schaffer, the German physician sent from Sitka to head up the operation at Waimea. Today we celebrate with you the historic events that bond Waimea, Kaua‘i to the West End of the Olympic Peninsula. We hope the Sv. Nikolai Monument
educates visitors to the Hoh Rain Forest about the rich heritage of the Russian American Company both in Washington State and in Hawai‘i. We hope this bond of friendship grows in the future, especially during the 200th anniversary celebration of the building of Pa’ula‘ula Heiau – Russian Fort Elizabeth set for fall 2016 in Waimea.

Ohm and Murphy weigh in on alternative energy By Chiggers Stokes, Special to Forks Forum
The best time to wire a house for alternative energy is as you build the house. Partly, it’s an issue of aesthetics. Professional electricians become adept at snaking wire into finished walls with a “fish tape” which, in layman terms is thinga-ma-jig resembling a rolled up coat hanger. In the case of the $800 cabin I built with my wife in 1978, we had used cheap, kiln dried 2x4 “dunnage” purchased from Allen’s Mill for 4 cents a pound for walls. No sooner had we put a roof over these walls, my wife began putting pictures of deceased relatives and dogs she knew and loved upon them. As I would discover, time and again, she was fiercely resistant to the idea of me using those same walls to display my tangled web of house wiring. Pick up a book on how to do alternative energy and the first chapter usually concerns estimating your average power consumption to properly size the alternative energy scheme to support your lifestyle. The average American household uses about 30 kilowatt hours a day — more than one kilowatt of continuous power generation. On a good day, that’s what I produce at full implementation of a gallon per second water right and one roof quadrant completely covered with solar panels. Though lack of planning has turned around to bite me more times than a rabid dog, I would skip the chapter about planning for your electrical load. The reality is that you probReach

ably won’t be able to afford or engineer an alternative energy system capable of sustaining your lifestyle in the city, with the challenges and expenses of building your alternative home in the country. The reality is that, however BIG you go in investing in alternative energy, you probably will use every watt your scheme produces and wish for a bigger system. So, to me, the important thing is to design the system that you can afford with the ability to add on or retrofit up as your expertise and finances allow. Wiring your alternative energy house is as important as … well, wiring your marriage. If all you wanted to do is emergency lighting (and I am talking about a REAL emergency), you could throw the main breaker on your house panel, disconnect everything connected to any outlet in your home and throw the breaker on hard-wired load such as pumps or heating and replace your screw-in 110 vac (volts, alternating current) with 50 watt, 12 vdc (volts, direct current) r.v. bulbs available here in Forks. But not available in a REAL emergency. Assuming that your wall switches are standard issue (not rheostatic or solenoid controlled) you could plug a 12 volt deep cycle battery into any outlet and have emergency lighting with any of those 12 volt bulbs. One reason to not do this is the inefficiency of incandescent bulbs will run down that battery pretty quickly. Another reason to not try this stunt is Ohm’s Law restated as watts equals volts times amps.

One kilowatt microhydroelectric stationed by home of author. Pelton wheel and turbines by Harris Hydroelectric Alternator head by Forks Auto Electric.
Accomplishing 50 watts of lighting with 12 volts requires 10 times the amperage of 120 volt lighting. While your regular house switches usually can handle the punch of 4.5 amps direct current, if six 50 volt lights go on in your house, the circuit attached to the battery will be trying to move 30 amps through it and 12 or 16 gauge house wire is not designed to handle that current. It will heat up and any point of resistance will become cherry hot causing a house fire. So added to the REAL emergency that necessitated plugging a battery into your house power, you have the additional inconvenience of a house fire. Besides a roof fire occasioned by an unscreened chimney, I have been very lucky to have never lost a structure to fire. A sprinkler system is one way to prevent fire from burning your home to the ground. But a more effective solution is to engineer the fire causing potential out of home energy systems. Something that can go
wrong eventually will go wrong — it’s just a matter of time. So says Murphy and the the unmutable laws of probability. Disaster, whether occurring at home, on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico or in a nuclear energy facility on the Japanese coast, frequently follows a cascade of events. Backup systems often fail with the same unforeseen conditions that caused failure in the primary system. In August 2000, I lost my hydroelectric project owing to a dispute with my neighbors. I had a well dug and built a 1,000 gallon water tower to assure that my family would have an uninterrupted supply of water. I tied my inverter and batteries to a propane-fired generator with controls that started and stopped the genset based on battery voltage. We had house power 24 hours a day with the genset only running a few hours. When I was able to re-establish hydroelectric by going around the recalcitrant neighbors, I left the automatic generator feature on as a backup. In August 2002, I
left from Snoqualmie Pass to finish backpacking the Pacific Crest Trail in Manning Park, B.C. I explained the many backup systems to my nervous wife and asked her to pick me up in Canada with my passport in three weeks. While I was gone, the creek ran low and the hydro couldn’t keep up, so the generator would run to charge the batteries. During the week my wife was gone on a road trip to pick me up, a toilet was running. During that dry summer, the running toilet outpaced our well and the 1,000 gallon tank ran dry. The float switch to protect the pump failed and the pump ran dry. The generator began running non-stop to supply the runaway pump. The pump melted down and created a short which caused the inverter to shut down. Going off line, the inverter forgot to tell the genset to turn off, so the generator ran for almost a week. The $3,000 Onan genset overheated and blew out a head. My wife showed up in Manning Park on time, but was without my passport. My argument started with Customs that evening, but went on all night with me howling at my poor wife all the way home. We arrived at 4 a.m. the next morning to find our home without water or power. A leaking toilet had resulted in no water, a burned up pump, a $300 propane bill and a blown up generator. Four or five backup systems had failed in concert. Four months later, my wife and I separated and divorced. For all my many other failings as a husband, in court under oath, my wife attributed my struggle with alternative energy as the most divisive.

Running for his life By Jane Hielman Forty-three year old Brian Stark ran through Clallam Bay last Saturday. He has a dream, that is, to run east/west or north/south in each of the 50 states before he is 50! His wife and children give him several weeks each year to make the run over one, two or three states depending on which ones he plans to cover. Brian is from Tucson, Ariz., and is hoping to become the

first person to run across each of the 50 states in the U.S. before he turns 50 which is in seven years’ time. He is doing this on foot, one step at a time with a 14-pound small backpack. He chooses the most scenic route for each state. When he was here at the Co-op, he said that he would spend the night at Curley’s Motel in Sekiu and then run on to Cape Flattery on Sunday! He loves to couch surf! Washington is the 33rd state

on his bucket list. On Monday, he will be shuttling across to Spokane to run Idaho and the panhandle on a rail trail 34! I asked him why he was doing this and he said, “Because I love running very far and meeting people so I put them together and voila! I have my journey.� He added, “This trip started on June 4 in mid-Oregon picking up from where I left off last year. I will finish for this year on June 21 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. I will carry backpack with water, snacks and a sleeping bag. I rely on towns for food and lodging. Each year I do one or two states with the goal of doing all of the states by the time I am 50, in just seven years’ time.� Brian then spoke in a fun radio announcer’s voice, a sparkle in his eye, “For more excitement follow ‘Statesrunner.com’ and Facebook for current events, interviews and information!� He then interviewed me, asking me what I thought people needed the most! I replied, “Love!� A silence came between us, “Not lust!� I added, and he chuckled. He then asked me what I felt was the purpose
of life. I replied, “Finding joy in simplicity!� He added his quote, “Everyone I meet tells me they live on the most beautiful spot on earth and so far they are right!�
