Washington Coast Works Sustainable Small Business Competition 2015 The Finale

By Jane Hielman On Oct. 16 the final competitors were invited to attend the Grays Harbor Chamber of Commerce end of year evening at the Quinault Casino.

It was a sparkling and ritzy affair. Beautifully decorated tables with folk in formal attire, candles, beautiful food, an auction, door prizes and excited friendly faces filled the room.

Part of the program was the presentation to the finalists in the Small Business Competition that CIE at Pinchot University, Ta’ala Fund, USDA, the Nature Conservancy and First Federal have sponsored this summer.

Ten businesses were represented in the final round; three existing businesses, Bada Bean in Port Angeles, Sunsets West Cooperative in Clallam Bay, and Mike Meyers Consulting Business for conversion of waste to methane.

Along with these were seven new start-ups: Elizabeth Alexandra of Aberdeen wanted to launch a worker cooperative to collect food waste for compost.

Emily Foster of Fork/LaPush wanted to launch a business that smokes and sells smoked fish.

Liz Ellis of Aberdeen wanted to launch a business for community gardens and low income housing.

Anna Kim of Westport wanted to launch a business making “papercrete” products.

Robert Long of Neah Bay wanted to launch a business farming sea weed and shellfish.

Linda Reeves of Queets-Quinault wanted to launch a coffee hut and marketplace for Native art and craft, produce and food.

Jean Ramos of Queets-Quinault wanted to launch a business selling traditional Indian Tea. We all appeared with our significant others, looking the part.

The presentation was by Rep. Derek Kilmer.

Mobile home destroyed in fire Clallam County Sheriff’s Deputy Gene Hoagland just happened to be on patrol near the end of Merchant Road just after 1 a.m. Sunday and spotted a glow inside a mobile home at 1369 Merchant Road. Thinking it didn’t look like the light of a lamp, and with vehicles in the driveway, he attempted to awaken the occupants to the fact the residence was on fire. No one was home at the time.

Hoaglund reported the fire to dispatchers at PenCom, the 9-1-1 dispatch center for the county.

The Forks Fire Department responded and several volunteers remained on scene most of the day as fire investigators looked for the cause.

Raymond Dickinson was renting the property and has been offered other housing at this time. According to Forks Fire Chief Bill Paul, the cause of the fire still is under investigation by members of the Clallam County Fire Investigations Team. No foul play is suspected at this time.

Fighting the fire was made more challenging due to the fact that Dickinson had some ammunition in the home and as the fire got to it, it started exploding.

The mobile home appears to be a total loss. Photos Forks Fire Department and Christi Baron.

Second Place — Jean Ramos of Queets Quinault, to launch her business selling traditional Indian Tea. First Place — Emily Foster of Forks/LaPush, to launch her business to smoke and sell smoked fish.

Here it is from Liz Ellis: “Being in this competition (co-opitition) and then to be recognized as a runner-up was a huge honor for me.

Being recognized with Jean and Emily and moving forward with everyone else in this year’s WCW has given me an added boost of confidence and confirmation that my idea has merit and can blossom into a real farm. I have been focused on lining up legal info and finetuning the cost of fencing materials and soil sampling. With every day I meet someone new who is excited about this idea of a community market garden and I continue to connect with local resources.

Spartan eighth-grader Kierra Brandt dives for the ball during the match with Coupeville. Coupeville handed the Forks eighthgraders their first loss of the season by defeating the young Spartans 29-27 and 25-21.

Forks led in the third set when it was called as the Coupeville team had to catch the ferry. The seventh-grade defeated Coupeville in two out of the three matches. These probably were some of the most exiting and well-played matches ever witnessed in Forks junior high competition. Also in on the action is Spartan Rian Peters. Photo by Lonnie Archibald.

Forks City Council candidates speak at Chamber Candidates for Forks City Council were the program at the Oct. 21 meeting of the Forks Chamber of Commerce at Blakelee’s Bar and Grill.

Christina “Stina” Kohout, 32, and Jon Preston, 56, each introduced themselves.

Preston, a park ranger at the Hoh-Olympic National Park, said he wants to be on the city council to serve in what he said is an important task.

He said he has lived on the North Olympic Peninsula since 1989 and has been an education park ranger for 14 years.

Preston feels that the community is missing out on a lot of tourist dollars from those that pass through on their way to the park. He comes at the position with “no agenda” and would serve to represent the collective values

of constituents.

Kohout, a disabled Air Force veteran, said she sought out Forks for its sense of community and has lived here four years. She has two children and her husband is deployed in Afghanistan.

She said she is studying to become a teacher at Peninsula College, is an Olympic Community Action Programs Policy Counsel parent and represents the entire Olympic Peninsula on the state Association of Head Start and the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program.

She recently returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., where she spoke to legislators about education. She is concerned about how the community can’t keep teachers.

A question and answer period followed.

Court Report The following people were fined $100 or more and/or received jail sentences when they appeared in Clallam County District II Court in Forks; Raymundo Ortiz Lorenzo was fined $500 and sentenced to 90 days of jail with 90 days suspended for Negligent Driving First Degree.

BUSINESS, from page 1 and continue to learn from some absolutely amazing talent, including each other.

This round of WCW has been an amazing gift of getting to know each of you and I want to stay in touch. I like the idea of a barn raising and being there to help any of you who needs more hands for a day or the insights that our close group of friends and fellow business folks can provide in a safe setting.

All the best to each of you!”

Here it is from Jean Ramos: “Good Monday morning. I am still in shock!!

I know that I want as much as possible of the $5,000 spent right here in our Queets Indian community. I want to buy local artwork for packaging, business cards, signs, letterhead, etc. I have to buy permits and get my Minority/Woman Small Business License. Find out

how to get Indian Preference for the Buy Indian Act listing, etc. Now, the really hard work starts. Thank you so much, I was retired. I now have a new lease on life.”

Here it is from Emily Foster: “Thank you to everyone who has offered help, advice and support. Every finalist in our cohort has a solid business idea, so I was entirely surprised at the announcement.

The Washington Coast Works Small Business Competition was so intense in the short time we had to write and polish our proposals. I was certainly pushed outside my comfort zone several times, but welcomed the positive and nurturing environment filled with mentors and WCW staff and volunteers who want to see us all succeed. Though the competition has ended, the hard work is just now beginning as I make Lonzo’s Seafood Company a reality.”

Kenneth Ben Sadilek March 14, 1927 - October 12, 2015

Ken was born in Morris, Minnesota on March 14, 1927. He was lovingly cared for by his daughters, at his home, until he died on October 12, 2015, after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

The oldest of six children born to farmers Ben and Marie Sadilek, he left home at an early age. As a young teenager, he bought a one-way ticket and headed West, finding work on various ranches.

At eighteen he enlisted in the Army and became a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne, for an extra $50 pay per month. He served during the Occupation, in Germany, as one of the “Red Devils”.

After discharge from the Army, he married Louise Mendive, a Basque rancher’s daughter, whom he had met in rural Nevada while driving mail delivery. They moved to the foothills of the Ruby Mountains where he managed the 71 Ranch.

A few years later, he took a correspondence diesel mechanic’s course and worked at A-D Machinery in Elko, Nevada, occasionally flying the company’s airplane to outlying ranches. He and Mom decided they’d rather return to ranching and took the opportunity to move to the remote Bruneau Canyon to, again, cattle ranch.

Dad’s brothers, who were employed in the timber industry, encouraged him to change occupations. In 1965 he was hired as a mechanic in the timber industry and moved the family to Clallam Bay, Washington, where he continued as a mechanic for Crown Zellerbach, Rayonier, and other logging companies until retirement.

It was during this time that they diligently worked and saved until able to buy a farm. They raised cattle and trees for the remainder of their lives, taking great pride in their stewardship of the farm and forest.

Dad was a Lion’s Club member and also served on the school board.

Dad was preceded in death by Louise after 62 years of marriage.

He is survived by two sisters, Joyce and June; three daughters, Laurel (Larry) Burtness, Linda (Russ) Mellon, and Loretta (Juan) Bascaran; foster son Jim; grandchildren Tammy (Mehdi), Corby (Trang), Ben (Jessica), Justin (Shahida), Andy and Alex; and great grandchildren Kaleo, Kali, Layla, Catherine, and Nathan.

There will be a celebration of life on November 7, 1-4 p.m., at Sekiu Community Center, 42 Rice St., Sekiu, WA 98381.

Please bring memories and a dish to share. A slide show, A Mechanic’s View of Logging, will be shown.

Please send memorial donations to Sekiu Community Center, Sekiu, at the above address.

THE REAL FORKS Two cents on tailgating

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford

In the history of road rage, there has never been a tailgatee who sped up due to being tailgated. It has never happened. Joe Slow (see what I did there?), has never said to himself, “Gee whiz, that nice fella back there sure is driving close. I should probably speed up a bit.” No. Realistically, Joe Slow says to himself, “…” well, I cannot use the real words that he says to himself because they are not family friendly. What I can tell you is that no one ever speeds up when they are tailgated.

Despite this COMMON KNOWLEDGE, the tailgaters of the world continue to tailgate everyone not going the speed they need to go to get to their destination 37 seconds sooner. I don’t tailgate because I despise tailgaters, especially the huge new truck which skipped three perfectly acceptable passing zones the other day to continue on with his tailgating hobby.

My despisement (which surprisingly is a real word, but doesn’t sound like it should be) is not due to being the proud owner of a nice car either. To be honest, my not-so-gentlyused Nissan probably would be better off after a nice rear-ending. It has seen better days. As for my husband’s ginormous steel death machine of a truck, it would take a lot to merely dent that thing.

Side note: Shortly after my recent column making fun of my husband’s truck, it broke down. My husband’s co-workers are trying to start a vicious rumor that I did something to make it break down, but this is absolutely not true. There is no evidence of any wrongdoing on my part. At this point, what difference does it make? As old as it is, I’m sure that it’s going to break down daily anyway.

As I was saying, my despisement is not due to my cars, but is due to being the proud owner of three little people. Three little people who are far more important to me than any tailgater getting anywhere a few seconds faster … and let’s be honest, that’s the amount of time saved, at best. In my defense, I’ll pull over if I can, but if you skip perfectly acceptable passing zones, I’m not losing any sleep at night for you. Well, I’m not losing sleep either way because of the simple fact that since I have three little people, I sleep whenever I can.

Anyway, what I’m getting at here is that there are little people in the backseats of many cars. Backseats, as in, where the most damage will be done to the car you are tailgating, which is not going to speed up either way. I don’t know any judges personally, but they probably don’t go lightly on tailgating which results in little people being hurt.

That’s just my two cents. Take your chances if you must.

Maybe you’ll be the first ever tailgater to get someone to speed up. Probably not though.

Sincerely, Joe Slow (with three really cute little people in the backseat) I can be reached at christyrasmussen@yahoo.com.

The Westernmost Newspaper in the Continental U.S.

Commentary

Voting …

Have you voted yet? Personally I liked the olden days when voters actually went to the polls to vote. The ladies at the Congregational Church would find your name on the list and then you made your choices.

Voting by mail is much more convenient … but not as rewarding.

Elections in a small town can be low key and not very exciting — when you know you are going to have to run into your opponent in the grocery store, local elections for the most part remain fairly civil.

While reading an old Forks Forum from March 1951 I found one of the most interesting elections in West End history!

The headline on the front page of the March 1, 1951 Forks Forum read “Little Interest in Town Election”.

It seems that in February 1951 incumbent Mayor Don Warner felt he didn’t have the time to devote to being the mayor of the town of Forks. So two individuals, Walter Roberge and Russell Thomas, were nominated to run at a caucus held at the Olympic Theater.

In the month that followed nobody advertised they were running … no other stories appeared in the paper … but trouble was brewing …

In a surprise write-in campaign Dr. U.S. Ford won.

A week before the election Ford and his supporters staged a surprise campaign.

The election, which previously had been shown little interest, was one of the most exciting in Forks’ history. Ford had won by eight votes and the turnout of voters was the largest in the town’s history.

Ford was sworn in, in June, and things started happening … the police chief resigned, some staff was let go, bids were coming in for a new city hall and then in October 1951, Dr. Ulric S. Ford up and died!

Then the next two issues of the Forks Forum are missing … so I don’t know what happened.

In other election news, the Fire District’s proposition has brought several letters to the editor questioning the need for the proposition and the calculations. I don’t know what the answer is but I do know we need our volunteer fire department. So do we pay more taxes or do we pay higher insurance premiums, because our volunteer department doesn’t meet the rating requirements that keep our insurance costs lower.

The fire department repeatedly asked for more volunteers to help with additional requirements, now mandated by the state, with regard to testing equipment, etc., that needs to be done on a weekly basis.

Nobody volunteered.

Those tasks fell to the chief

and like most of the other volunteers, they are not independently wealthy and actually have jobs and the time requirements of all volunteers have increased over the years. So what do we do?

I also know that while I slept warm and comfy in my bed early Sunday morning six members of our community jumped out of their warm and comfy beds and fought a fire.

What would we do if they are not there the next time and it is my/your home?

One of the biggest things we could all do as a community is support the efforts of those that are pressing for an answer to the trust land harvest arrearage. Funds that should be going to our fire department, our schools and our hospital have drastically reduced. This arrearage also could have kept some of our local mills in business.

So, go forth and vote, otherwise don’t complain — and if anyone has more details on what happened in 1951, after the death of Mayor Ford, please share.

GUDERIAN IS FEATURED GUEST AT HISTORY TALES PRESENTATION Author Eleanor Corey Guderian will share stories from

her book “Sticks, Stones & Songs: The Corey Story” at the Clallam County Historical Society’s History Tales presentation, set for 2:30 p.m.

Sunday, Nov. 1, at First United Methodist Church, 110 E. Seventh St., Port Angeles.

Parking and entry to the church’s social hall are on Laurel Street.

“Sticks, Stones & Songs: The Corey Story” is the true tale of a family of 12 that survives — even thrives — in mid-century rural America on half a ration, two-fold ingenuity and undeniable faith.

The chronicles begin in 1937 when itinerate preacher Arthur Corey purchases the abandoned Ramapo Grange hall near Joyce. The derelict building becomes the home into which babies, including the

author, are born … one after another … after another. These children, raised in the shadow of their father’s powerful character and mentored by their creative mother, adapt throwaways into tools, transform hardships into strengths and mitigate chores with songs. They eat oatmeal or beans or beets when there is nothing else and become all too familiar with an outhouse where catalogs are used instead of toilet paper. “Sticks, Stones & Songs” is a remarkable story recounted by Guderian, child No. 7, whose love for her family and pluck for adventure outweigh all the miseries she and her siblings face.

Guderian says she has used words all her life — mostly to her advantage. Those words

could be used to sweet talk her mother or give the smartest answers in class, but sometimes she got her mouth taped for blathering those words too quickly, too loudly and too often.

Most of the Corey siblings will be at the presentation.

The book will be available for purchase. If you already own a copy, bring it with you for Guderian to sign.

History Tales is free and open to the public.

Letters

TO THE

Editor

Reasons not to support FD1 proposition

Dear Editor, I had hoped my letter of last week regarding FD1 Proposition would engender a valid response from that organization. Since that did not happen, I submit the following to the voters of the district to aid in understanding the Proposition and the election ramifications.

The current assessment by FD1 is 41 cents per $1,000.

The requested 34 cents per $1,000 will raise the total to the 75 cents per 1,000 in 2016. To clarify, on a $200,000 home you now pay $82 per year, with the proposed increase, you will pay an ADDITIONAL $68 for a total of $150 per year in 2016.

In 2017, the cost to the taxpayer increases from 75 cents per $1,000 to 77 cents, as the requested 3-percent increase per year goes into effect. In 2018, 79.5 cents per $1,000; in 2019, 82 cents per 1,000; 2020 84 cents, and in 2021, 86 cents per $1,000.

Therefore, the cost for a

200,000 home in 2021, will be $172.

Further, be aware the taxing limit for a fire department without paid staff is $1 per $1,000. For a fire department with paid staff the limit goes to $1.50 per $1,000.

Does this mean that there is the potential for a cost to the taxpayer of $1.50 per $1,000 by establishing language in the Proposition request “additional staff” and to maintain or INCREASE staffing (emphasis added) and service levels.

In reference to the proposed fire chief position, don’t we, the taxpayer, have the right to know even a ball park figure for the base salary and benefits such as insurance, retirement, etc?

When asking us for this amount of taxation one would assume that there were discussions regarding what the salary impacts would be and that would have been the driver in the property tax levy amount requested from the community. Was there concern on the

part of the Fire District Board that the information would have jeopardized the vote?

Explain further from the records I assume you keep, the issues of why the number of calls that FD1 responds to has increased! Have law enforcement agencies called upon the FD1 more? How much work is done for local tribes, the park?

What are the parameters for responding to calls? Is there a procedure in place so that FD1 only responds to those that are critical in nature? Who determines what requires fire department’s full response? Example: If the vehicle wreck scenario mentioned in Ms. Palmer’s letter, required FD1 response, who made that determination, if the vehicle passengers were not injured, jaws of life not required, vehicle not in danger of catching fire, why can’t law enforcement perform duties such as directing traffic, why does the fire department need to provide that service?

In the interest of not boring all of you to death, here is the bottom line … we need a fire department, we have wonderful volunteers, (remember Phil Arbeiter was fire chief for 45 years as a volunteer) but this is too much of a financial impact to a struggling community. We like most retirees are on a fixed income, which has not kept up with the cost of living, and there are many out of work in our community as well, those folks deserve our consideration.

My husband’s parents were taxed “out” of their home, had to sell and move, I love Forks as do most of you, but we are fast approaching being taxed “out” of our homes.

Please, FD1 Board of Commissioners, be open and transparent with us about the need, be truthful about the financial impacts to homeowners and let us know how we can help, we need our fire department but this is asking too much!

Riding the Waves

By Jane Hielman Mike Dukes came along to the Thai Cooking Event — everyone likes Mike — I know this by the reaction of everyone I met in community when he was injured a while back!

Not a good idea to get injured — right — but it does show you who’s on your team!

Mike got talking, first to Jerry George, the Co-op president and then to me. He held the same message. Mike is clear in his reminiscences about CB/ CQ Clallam Bay/Sekiu. He has noticed, as have others, how the wave hits small communities; not the tidal wave, but he economic/social wave.

He talked about the high of Crown Zellebach, which I have heard a lot. Bob Bowlby also talked a lot of this time. Of a million dollars of logs lying in Clallam Bay against the jetty, of the many highly populated logging camps, of the gardens they grew to feed the workers, of the oversized cabbages or Photoshop cabbages! They talked of the hours spent traveling to dances, of how it was not OK to travel back late at night for many hours on crazy narrow roads and how they spent the night at many of the busy establishments that were here in the Bay. Bob loved to talk of prosperity, abundance in many forms and the kitchen table he was birthed upon opposite the CB School!

Mike called this wave “one”

in his history. Crown Zellerbach closed up and down it all went. Mike is interested particularly as he now owns the Crown Z office as his home.

The fishing boom he describes as wave “two.” How the bay was filled with boats and the season rolled out over many months. How the infrastructure that accompanied this boom fed and held the interest of so many people over so long. How exciting Sekiu was and how successfully the area fared!

Then the fishing died, or rather the time allotment was reduced. Reduced to such a level that with low volume heavy industry and low volume sport fishing the second wave dipped to an unsurpassed low that was felt through the departure of many residents, accelerated by the low interest isolated living. In came the Corrections Center.

This low kept up for many years. I came here during this low. The hardware store had closed, the grocery store was still flourishing and the Bank of America still functioned.

But there was a dormant feel to a newcomer. Not long in, the bank closed, my account was transferred to Port Angeles.

The grocery store closed and my shopping was transferred to Port Angeles. I met my new local friends there in PA, not in CB. Then I heard a whisper that the school may close!

This was too much for me. By then I had fallen in to “com-

mitment” for my new home.

The Goplen girls had bought the old Baker, Overby and Moore office and turned it into the Lighthouse Massage and Gallery. They watched with us, the use of the old hardware store with the “flames of hell” painted all over. They bought the building and along with the Lion’s Den, the library renovations and the “Town Planner” position for Sasha Sicks, things started to change. Houses were painted, buildings restored, parks expanded, paths built, businesses changed hands and new entrepreneurs took hold.

We started the Co-op outside the “green building”; now Three Sisters Art Gallery, Espresso and Lighthouse Massage. The fruit stand moved indoors to the “yellow building” and from there outgrew its space until an angel investor came along and improved the aging Woody’s Restaurant space.

With businesses settling in,

a new sidewalk, reader board, welcome garden and cleanup taking place, new paint, our renovated Visitors Center, information kiosks at regular points and now fresh motivation with new owners in both Clallam Bay and Sekiu the magic continues.

I believe, as the story goes, it all started with the renovation of the Community Center in Sekiu. Or was it the building of the Clallam Bay Corrections Center? Or was it the yen of the people to make change for lifestyle choices?

Our notion of a community co-op has proven to be successful. Starting as fruit stall, moving indoors to a small grocery outlet and then on to market, eatery, entertainment and gathering place. We are regularly appreciated for our consideration to travelers and locals alike. By we, I mean the 170 equal share owner members that the Co-op story has attracted. It takes a village to

rear a child — and so it takes shared spirit to maintain community life.

I love living here — it is normal! Travelers who pose the semi-regular question, “Why does anyone live here?” Get the answer, “You can breathe the air, drink the water and you have time to talk to your friends! What more do you need?” These things are super important to me when I think of community; I describe it as “Common Unity.” Communication is easy when you have values in common. One of our travelers said this summer, “We knew this community was doing well. Any community that has a library, art gallery and Co-op is doing fine!”

Mike smiled, “I see us coming up onto the wave again.

When people invest in their community it thrives. Riding the wave is a good feeling. We are heading up there again!” he said with a deep and satisfied smile.

True Color Part 30

Batteries

By Chiggers Stokes Special to The Forks Forum

I intended to discuss basic house wiring for alternative energy several months ago but distracted myself with stories about batteries. Sadly for my pocket book and the environment, I have destroyed tons of batteries by mismanaging voltage.

Most of my batteries over the years have come from James at Heartline Battery in Port Angeles. Mostly I have utilized previously used lead acid batteries. My first set were 100 pound, clear plastic 2 volt cells from the phone company.

Thirty-three years ago, I was spending all my energy on pipe friction trying to run 60 gallons per minute through half a mile of 2” polypipe.

My microhydro unit only produced 120 watts. My family was somewhat constrained on using much power since all of our loads (lights, stereo, fans, radio

communications) were low voltage applications. The half ton of batteries liked being charged at 10 amps. But we ran the batteries all the way down occasionally and after so many cycles all lead acid batteries go belly up.

L-16’s are a standard battery for alternative energy applications. They are 6 volts, so you string them in series to make 12 or 24 vdc (volts direct current).

I had acquired a 1963 firetruck with only 16K on the odometer for a thousand bucks. That truck had dozed for 20 years in a CCC garage across from the Elwha Ranger Station. Coming down the Elwha hill from Port Angeles, with a big load of those batteries aboard that truck...Maybe I was too easy on the breaks.

Or maybe that old firetruck was barn sour for for its sleepy corner in the old garage.

That truck seemed in a big hurry to get down that hill. I drifted into the oncoming lane coming on to the busy bridge and a couple of

TriMetric Meters monitor two battery banks with diversion load switching.

batteries tipped over, in spite of my expert lashing.

Before transporting serious battery cargoes it’s appropriate to reflect on what it would be like to take a shower in sulfuric acid. Was I out of my mind! I made the event a family outing!

I had scored a deal on huge 2 volt submarine batteries and needed to pick them up in Bremerton.

I talked my daughter and her friend into coming with me to Bremerton in that firetruck to pick up a ton of batteries.

The truck was sprung for 2 1/2 tons, but only got about 8 miles per gallon. We had to divert to

Want productive, motivated leadership and a prosperous Clallam County?

Port Townsend to hike at Fort Worden as part of the deal I had cut with my daughter.

We had a great time. I remember regretting the cost of all that gas back when gas was way under a buck a gallon. Now, I imagine what the price might have been if things had played differently.

Any accident involving extreme deceleration would put that ton of batteries in the cab with us. Any life that survived the crushing would be sterilized with sulfuric acid.

An un-fused battery short can easily turn all the wire in a house-

hold red hot. But if you want to see white hot you have to move closer to the battery. Attaching the hose-like, heavy copper wire to the inverter requires a torque wrench. Without sufficient pressure, the ghost-like hand of electro-magnatism reaches out and unscrews light bulbs and threaded nuts.

Really. Almost 20 years ago I came into my battery room to see why the lights had gone out.

I found the negative 24 vdc input on the inverter glowing like a light bulb.

As the lugs are relaxed by the unscrewing nut, they develop partial contact which causes the current to pour through a constricted circuit and build up heat. Heat causes further resistance and things get out of hand pretty fast.

You don’t want to try to unscrew the ground at the inverter while it’s white hot and the huge spark you produce by disconnecting at the batteries, on the other end, can cause an explosion.

Looking at the price of copper and the necessity of plumbing, there are instances of my plumbing carrying electrical as well as aquatic current. To this day, my photovoltaic and hydro-electrical negative input to my batteries is bussed to ground on my 110 vac panel.

About a year ago I was in my battery room pulling heavy wire that had run from my 24 vdc genset (The Quigly One). The fusing was on the end that I had disconnected, but I was certain that I could keep that big positive DC wire from touching anything electrical.

As I drug it through the wall, the positive lug came in contact with my black iron propane line and there were fireworks. Two AC electrical outlets melted in the time it took me to turn off the fireworks. I’m not sure what the code says about such things, but I am coming to believe that it’s best to avoid using live propane lines for wire.

FORKS FORUM

By Jane Hielman I was visiting Forks; I popped in to the Forum to see Christi and had my very first meeting with the famous Ron Shearer! He was front page on the Forum that very week I met him!

I was introduced as Jane from Clallam Bay – his eyes lit up and out poured his story…

He and Bob Bowlby worked together at the phone company. They were all over the place, in fact, in Ron’s words they were quite busy!

Locally Focused

Ron and Bob They were very often, in Ron’s words, way too often, called to Sekiu by Mrs. Chevalier. Mrs. Chevalier ran the Post Office. Every opportunity she got she held “court” with one or both, usually Bob pointing out that the public phone booth was in need of repair or replacement. As they planned their escape and got away from the “tongue wagging” that they regularly were exposed to, they would go back to base and beg to see the priority listing hoping that Mrs. Chevalier’s request was getting closer to execution!

On one of these priority checks they were silently overjoyed. There it was, next up on the list. “Mrs. Chevalier, Sekiu!”

“Where is my new phone booth?” she demanded.

Bob was clever enough, as the story goes, to have another option this day!

Ron tells it this way, “I turned around ignoring the demanding Mrs. Chevalier. She didn’t like my back! I walked outside, I pretended to call base, I already knew the booth was on the truck being delivered!” he twirled his pretend mustache, and glinted his eye Ron Shearer in his Peninsula Telephone and Telegraph days, June 1972. Forks Forum Archives

Ron was on his usual run; reliably he called on Mrs. Chevalier and as usual got the sharp end of her tongue,

to me.

I made my phone call and told her, “I have placed your order!”

She growled, “Again!”

Within seconds the truck with the phone booth pulled up outside her business. The driver got out and came inside, “Where would you like it ma’am?” he asked.

“She nearly fainted!” Ron contentedly grinned at his mischief.

Dean Allen Liedtke June 15, 1952 - August 25, 2015 Dean Liedtke passed away at the Forks Community Hospital on August 25, 2015 at the age of 63.

He was born June 15, 1952 to Heather and Ben Liedtke in Wenatchee Washington, were he lived until the age of 5.

His family then moved to the Yakima Valley, where Dean lived and attended school, graduating from Zillah High School in 1971.

He attended Yakima Valley Community College, majoring in the field of horticulture.

In 1973 he met and married Vicki Welch and they had two children, Ben and Nick. They later divorced.

During these years Dean also lived in the Hood River area in Oregon, and Federal Way, Washington. In 1986 he worked at the Lighthouse for the Blind, where he met Susan Peretti.

They were married in 1988 and in 1989 moved to Forks, Washington where they made their home until Deans passing. Dean and Sue were constant companions and soul mates and brought much joy to each others lives.

Dean loved living in Forks and was known for his friendly manner and sense of humor. He always had a story to tell, his favorite being stories about the many kids they took under their wing in their home day care. He was known as “Uncle Happy” to many during these years.

Dean’s devotion each summer to growing his garden always paid off with much produce to share with family and friends, which was his special way to share God’s goodness with many.

Dean and Sue rode the Clallam Transit buses for over 25 years and came to be as close as family with many of the drivers. Dean expressed appreciation many times for the extra help many of the drivers extended to both him and Sue. His passion for sports spanned his entire life, being a devoted Minnesota Viking/Twins fan, Washington State Huskies fan and Seattle Sea Hawks fan. When the Seattle Sonics were sold Dean went into mourning.

Dean is survived by his beloved wife Susan; three children, Ben (Kim) Liedtke, Nick (Sara) Liedtke, and Mike (Nicolle) Walsh; and five grandchildren, Emma, Hudson, Edgar, Katlyn, and Aidan; with a sixth due to be born in May. Dean loved his kids and grandkids and was always so excited to get to spend time with them.

He is also survived by his mother Heather Wesemann, brothers Tony (Annie) Liedtke and Duane (Cathy) Liedtke, sisters Wanda (Walt) Brazington and Tena (Brent) Gagnon; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Dean was preceded in death by his father Ben Liedtke and his nephew Greg Gagnon.

The unknown, the unsolved and the unexplained … Part 2

By Christi Baron The year 1952 was not a good year for fishermen. Not because the fishing was bad, but because people were going fishing and never coming home again.

Richard H. Dill had been a resident of the West End for a number of years and recently had moved to Port Angeles.

On a Sunday morning in May 1952 Tyler Hobucket spotted Dill’s fishing boat, the Terrine, off LaPush — it was running in circles.

George Lewis, owner of the troller Destiny, had last spoken with Dill on Friday, via his ship radio. At the time Dill was north of Grays Harbor and he told Lewis he was heading for LaPush, but this was Sunday morning and something was wrong.

Hobucket attempted to reach Dill on the radio and got no an-

swer. James Gorham of Forks also was in the area. He also tried to raise Dill on the radio and got nothing. Hobucket and Gorham finally got along side the Terrine and Hobucket stayed with the vessel as Gorham went to LaPush to get the Coast Guard to help.

When the Coast Guard boarded the Terrine there was no sign of Dill. A half finished cup of coffee was sitting in the cabin. The boat was set on autopilot. The fish hatch was open, salmon were in the hold … had Dill fallen overboard?

Gorham assisted the Coast Guard towing the Terrine to LaPush. It was discovered that a float was missing from the Terrine and it was thought Dill maybe had made it to shore.

Coast Guard planes and boats searched for days with no sign of Dill ever showing up.

On June 3, 1952, George R. Lewis made a call from his

trolling boat, the Destiny, that he was taking on water, just off Westport; many other boats in the area and the Grays Harbor Coast Guard, heard Lewis’ radio messages. When rescuers finally made it to the Destiny it was submerged to the tips of the two trolling poles and there was no sign of Lewis. The boat was towed to shore and then trailered to Port Angeles.

Examination of the boat showed that it had most likely struck a submerged object and sank slowly. The mostly empty gas tank helped keep the boat from sinking completely.

Although Lewis was known to have been wearing a life jacket, there was no sign of him in the area. Ironically, Lewis was the last person to talk to Richard Dill, by ship’s radio, before Dill disappeared off his 37-foot trolling boat the Terrine on May 17, 1952.

In July 1952, a major Coast

How? We focus on the West End.

If it happens here, you’ll hear about it first from

Your locally focused newspaper.

Guard air and sea search was launched for 34-year-old commercial fisherman Leslie Gossage. Joining in the search were other commercial fishermen.

Gossage had left LaPush on the morning of July 24, to go fishing off of Destruction Island.

Two fishermen, J.E. O’Neil and Floyd Thornton, both had reported seeing Gossage the day he left LaPush.

Heavy fog hindered the search, but even when they finally got in the air not a single sign of Gossage’s boat was found that would lead to a conclusion of what might have happened to the fisherman.

The last person to talk to Gossage was James Gorham, the man that helped bring in Richard Dill’s boat, the Terrine.

Gossage’s boat was a 32-foot troller. In October 1952, Gos-

sage’s family gathered at the beach and had a memorial ceremony.

FLYING SAUCERS SEEN OVER FORKS In July 1952, the Forks Forum reported residents reporting “flying saucers.” Allan Dorst and his cousin Charles Knowland spotted the objects about 1:10 in the afternoon. The two called to Mrs. Henry Dorst to come outside to view the objects. They viewed the objects for about two minutes.

All three described them as absolutely round and traveling much faster than an airplane.

When caught by the sun’s rays they shone silver and they showed no vapor trails. The objects, quite high in the sky, circled Forks and then headed south.

‘Yellow Curry Anyone?’

Asked John …

We focus on the West End

By Jane Hielman

from the Ocean...

...to the Mountains

...and everything in between

Saturday, Oct. 10, became a fun-filled day on the Northwest Peninsula.

There was a Fishing Derby in Sekiu, an apple cider press at the Sekiu Community Center, Hickory Shirt Days in Forks, a family ball at the RAC and a cooking demonstration at the Co-op.

Dr. John Jackson and his capable young daughters, Jessica and Jasmine, presented the first cooking class that the Co-op has hosted.

On one of his many fishing trips which he enjoys, in his scrubs, John came into the Coop to get his girls an ice cream cone. Looking around he asked if I was interested in having cooking demos in the store.

I was happy; this was another of our dreams that was about to come to fruition!

So in the next phone call he said he would provide the food and how about the 10th?

No reason not to choose the 10th until we realized everything that was to happen on that day. Who said life in a small town has little choice?

Well, John went ahead with his preparations and kept in touch. We advertised and promoted with no idea of numbers.

The weather worked with us.

It rained and poured and blew up a storm, the apple cider press was blown away and had to be rescheduled for Sunday.

I don’t know about the Derby, Hickory Shirt Days went ahead, and we knew we were to appear at the RAC for the dance night at 6 p.m.

A few folk trickled in; the girls had pre-prepared all the vegetables and the chicken.

Then more came. We had 10,

just what John had planned.

He began by talking about his vacation choice, how he likes to plan an overseas vacation each year, where he books a cooking class in the culture he visits and his whole family takes the class. So far it has been Paris, Guatemala, Thailand, and several other places, Thailand being the most recent.

We tasted the condiments that he would be using. He talked about the country he was presenting, and then we moved on into the Co-op kitchen.

We have a 1926 propane cook stove, black and beautiful, he was impressed! Pioneer Propane found the old stove at the Scout Camp in Sequim three years back, they brought it to us with cobwebs and all over rust and it was not so pretty!

But our men, Al Pelletier and Terry, got in and after several months they had it polished

up, repaired and cooking up a storm!

The crowd gathered around and off he went, very happy to be sharing his skills.

The girls were his hostesses and stirrers. He cooked jasmine rice, yellow curry from scratch, and a chicken stir fry.

The kitchen smelled delicious and everyone in it was smiling.

This is when you know you have done a good job! No one thought to take a photo!

The food was carried out to the eatery and shared among the participants.

Good job John, Jasmine and Jessica.

We have had great feedback!

We want to go again, probably in November or December this year. Watch the Forum for a future date.

Washburn’s General Store Celebrates

Greg and Mary Ann Lovik, owners of Washburn’s General Store in Neah Bay, went all out to celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month, hosting an ice cream cake social for their customers and honoring an employee, Franklin Ides. They also were celebrating their Employer of the Month Award from the Clallam County Health & Human Services Business Leadership Advisory Committee. Presenting the award was committee member and executive director of the Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic, Pam Leonard-Ray. Also in attendance to celebrate was Franklin’s job coach from Concerned Citizens.

The Loviks said that Ides first came to them as a transition student through the high school, but is now a permanent part-time employee. His main duty is recycling cardboard.

They mentioned how much he enjoys this duty and how he is dependable and punctual.
