Draft assessment for Lake Crescent project A draft environmental assessment for Olympic National Park’s plans to improve U.S. Highway 101 along Lake Crescent is expected to be released to the public sometime after Jan. 1. The park, along with the Federal Highway Administration as a cooperating agency, plans to replace sections of road bed, remove rock-fall hazards, repair or replace failing retaining walls and rotten guardrails, and repair culverts on 12.3 miles of this vital link between the West End and the rest of the peninsula. If approved, the project — currently estimated at about $20 million — could begin in the spring of 2017. Project funding would be provided through the Federal Aid Highway Program. The Federal Highway Administration implements the program in cooperation with state and local governments.

The park’s options include the required alternative of performing no repairs, three years of 30-minute delays in the construction season from March to November or closing the lake stretch of the highway entirely

for 1.7 construction seasons with traffic rerouted to state Highways 112 and 113. The public comment period will start as soon as the release of the draft for review. The draft environmental assessment includes

responses to public comments taken through June 7 about six alternatives for scheduling traffic delays and closures during construction. The entities involved in the project say that they really hope

to look hard and consider any avenue that they can in limiting the impact on local communities and hope to make sure that whatever wait times motorists experience during the project will be as small as possible.

silent, I would be guilty of complicity.” I try to live my life like that. But I haven’t been as outspoken as I should have been for this child. Like all people in Forks … you might know OF someone but you don’t actually know them. So I have kept the things I have heard, and seen, bottled up … waiting for someone with direct knowledge to step up. I believe some have, obviously with the school board turnover. But as a town, as a collective of parents, we haven’t done enough. I was abused sexually as a child. I’m not saying this to be treated as a victim. I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me. It happened and I’ve done my therapy. Why I mention it is that I could barely sit in a room and face my abuser when I was 35 years old. The courage it takes to stand up for your own safety and well-being as a teenager, against adults that are in positions of power? It’s absolutely deserving of recognition. Whether there was an actual crime as described by law or just some occasional social media contact doesn’t make the student’s bravery any less and

doesn’t make the teacher’s actions any more tolerable in my eyes. This adult took their position of power and used it against a child. Shame on them. And what does this student get in return for their bravery? Vicious rumors flying around town, bad names at school, loss of friends possibly? And to top it off … they have to look at this person every day. Because as a collective of adults … we have let this child down. We have all known crap was happening at the school … huge teacher turnover, disgruntled staff, a lot of small things being swept under the carpet. It has to stop. The message that is being perpetuated at this moment is go ahead and tell … nothing is going to happen. Can you think of any worse message being sent to children? If there are ideas as to what more we can do besides go to school board meeting and get shut down, I welcome them. We the people run this town and the school board and superintendent work for us. Maybe some need a reminder. Rebecca Hamlin Beaver

Born July 16, 1930, in Port Angeles, Jim was the second of three sons born to Thomas H. and Marion Coventon Mansfield. Jim attended school in Forks while growing up on the Mansfield Family Homestead. During World War II, he helped manage the family farm while his father Tom served in the U.S. Coast Guard and older brother Tom Jr. served in the U.S. army, stationed in Germany. At 13 years of age Jim received his junior farm driver’s license so he could deliver milk from the farm during war time. He helped with younger brother David while his mother worked as U.S. Postmaster in Forks and LaPush. Jim graduated from Forks High School in 1948 and went on to attend the University of Washington in Seattle until 1950.

Joel Robert Sisson May 3, 1946 - September 28, 2015

Joel Robert Sisson, 69, husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and treasured friend, passed peacefully on September 28, 2015, surrounded by those he loved. Joel was born May 3, 1946, to Betty Mae and Robert William Sisson in Port Angeles. Joel was a proud member of the Upper Elwha River pioneer family (Dewitt and Nettie Sisson) who owned and operated the Mountain Inn, where they horse-packed people and supplies into the Olympics. He attended local schools and graduated from Port Angeles High School in 1964. His roots were strong on the Olympic Peninsula and rich in history. His knowledge of the area allowed him to navigate every highway, road, trail, creek and river with ease. Joel was well-known locally for his tremendous generosity, kindness, hard work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit. Beginning at an early age, Joel “aspired” to publish the neighborhood Fairmount Neighborhood Daily Blab and gained “valuable experience” where he sold peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to his schoolmates at Lincoln School. As a young man, Joel worked for his father in the logging industry often waking up at 4 a.m. to ride the crew bus. He held various jobs throughout the years such as a longshoreman, demolition expert, Pen Ply employee, Puget Sound Log Scaling, Grays Harbor Log Scaling and Green Crow log buyer/forester. He also co-owned and operated the Peninsula Scaling Bureau. Later in life, Joel’s considerable initiative, determination and drive guided him to land clearing and development, road construction and bridge building. He craved learning new things. Joel was an integral part of the Crescent Bay Lions Clubhouse and Playfield success. He was a charter member and served as the Crescent Bay Lions Club President 19791980 and 1993-1994. Joel’s dedication awarded him the first receipient of the Crescent Bay Lions International Lion of the year for 1978-1979. He was a proud member of the Washington National Guard for six years. During Joel’s training and drilling, the other members nicknamed him “Gravy Joel” for his compelling consumption of the guard’s finest country gravy. Joel was passionate for the outdoors and loved water skiing, jet skiing, hiking, kayaking, edible gardening, classic cars, and animals. Joel was an avid storyteller and reader and all who knew him loved his sense of humor. One of his greatest achievements was water skiing across the Straits of Juan de Fuca and building their custom log home. Joel hand picked the logs from the high country of the South Fork Sol Duc River. When Joel was diagnosed with cancer, he demonstrated incredible strength and courage. “But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31. He refused to speak words of defeat. He did not complain about how sick and weak he felt, or how hopeless the situation looked. He continued to share his talents and personality to the end. He is survived by his wife Melissa; mother Betty; son Bill; stepdaughter Christine Perry, sister Diane Edwards (Jim) of Forks; nieces Janell (Jerry), Kerie and Lauren; nephews Alex, Andrew, Justin (Scarlet), Matt and Ryan; one grandchild and two great nephews, Conlon & Ryan. A celebration of Joel’s life was held on Saturday, November 21, 2015, at 1 p.m. at the Independent Bible Church, 116 East Ahlvers Road, Port Angeles, WA. A special thank you to the staff at the OMC Cancer Center and Dr. Curt Norman.

THE REAL FORKS

Rasmussen-Ford Plumbing?

By Plumber Extraordinaire, Christy

Last week, while showering, I noticed that I was taking a shath (shower/bath combo). Shaths are lovely sometimes, but in this case, it was not intentional and appeared to be the result of a clogged pipe. I made a mental note to call the plumber, but then I remembered that I’m not working and have no money. The only other option was to take the “do-ityourself” route. How hard could plumbing really be? My first step was to Google the subject of plumbing. The first page that I went to said, “DO NOT TRY TO FIX PLUMBING ISSUES YOURSELF.” Dear Google, don’t tell me how to live my life! You don’t know me. A few minutes later, I found a couple of tips on a non-judgmental webpage for decloggifying (not a real word). I started with the old baking soda and vinegar trick, not because I thought it would be particularly effective but because I’m still a 10-year-old at heart. Needless to say, the reaction of those two ingredients never gets old, but it didn’t fix the clog. My next trick was boiling water. Well, actually, first I took the lazy route and turned the faucet on really hot. It wasn’t hot enough though and my tub was almost overflowing. The actual boiling water right off the stove didn’t work either. I then moved on to using the plunger on the drain. I did this for 30 minutes without any improvement. The good news is that I got quite the arm workout. I’m seriously considering marketing that whole activity as a legitimate new exercise model. I do need some help with a name for it though because the word “plunge” is used in many different ways and some of them are not appropriate. Anyway, after the unsuccessful plunging attempt, I brought out the big guns (my arms after the workout), grabbed some of my husband’s tools and took apart the whole darn tub drain catchy thing on the bottom of the bath. I watched a video online to walk me through this process … one that didn’t tell me how to live my life! The video explained that most clogs can be fixed by cleaning out the inside of the catchy thing. Mine was already clean so I went back to the plunging step. I thought that maybe, without the catchy thing, my plunging would be more effective. It was not. Two hours in and I still had made no progress at all. By that time, my children were demanding to be fed so I had to end my plumbing work. While cooking, my husband came home. I informed him of the clog and my stressful hours of effort spent to fix the issue. He went into the bathroom and found the problem immediately; the water stopper was flipped on. Water stopper as in the switch that one flips on when you DON’T want the water to drain out of the tub. So that’s what it is like to be married to me. Questions? Comments? Plumbing work needed?

The Westernmost Newspaper in the Continental U.S.

Being Thankful By Christi Baron You never know when life could change in a moment’s notice. Such is the case for Nicole and Carl Realing. The Realings were on their way to work Friday, Oct. 30, near LaPush, when they were hit head-on by a vehicle that crossed the centerline. Even though Nicole was able to turn the wheel away just a split second before impact, she still sustained multiple lifethreatening injuries. It took hours to extricate her and she soon was airlifted to Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center. A collapsed lung, four broken ribs, internal bleeding and a crushed pelvis later, it’s an absolute miracle she is still alive. She has undergone two very long surgeries where a wonderful orthopedic team has worked to put her crushed pelvis back together again. It’ll be six weeks before she can bear weight on her left side and three months until she will be able to start walking again. A year of physical therapy is to follow. Nicole has been struggling to do her best and cope with such a heavy blow. Luckily, because of her quick reaction, Carl wasn’t injured to the extent that she was. This has been such a blessing as he has been with her every single moment to help cheer her up, calm her down and encourage her through this very difficult, emotional and vulnerable time. On top of this, Nicole lost her mom to breast cancer in March of this year — 2015 has been a difficult year to say the least. Nicole has a long road ahead and she plans on walking again. Nicole is out of the hospital and staying in the Seattle area with family as she recovers. Carl is by her side helping with everything as well as helping her cope with the nightmares she has reliving

the accident. To help with Nicole’s recovery, donations may be made on line at www.giveforward.com/ fundraiser/ntrb. For the local folks, (or anyone who doesn’t like the Internet), donations can be made at the Umpqua Bank in Forks. The fund is titled “Nicole Schostak Realing Medical Fund.“ This 7-week old kitten was found along the road, near Elk Loop, last Tuesday during the storm. The kitten was taken to a Good Samaritan and she cared for the kitten until it could be seen by Dr. Dowell the next day. The kitten was hypothermic and had a broken leg. The kitten subsequently died from her injuries and exposure. On Friday, a member of Friends of Forks Animals got word a box of kittens had been left in a driveway in the freezing weather. They all died. Friends of Forks Animals asks that if you have a pet or pets you are unable to care for, call 374-3332 and leave a message. A member will try to offer a solution to help.

FOFA also is trying to help feed needy pets during bad weather and tough times. Donations of pet food may be dropped off at Bob and Pat Stark’s Forks True Value. Having your pet spayed or neutered helps reduce the suffering of animals that are born into situations where owners are unable to care for them. Please call for assistance if you need it. FOFA also can help with surgeries for those that can’t afford it. The cold weather is hard on animals. Providing shelter, bedding and extra food during the winter will make it easier on them. And don’t get a pet unless you are truly willing to accept the responsibilities. If you are Carl and Nicole, you are thankful that you survived such a terrible accident, if you are a little kitten, you are thankful to be warm, fed and loved — and aren’t we all thankful for those things. Happy Thanksgiving.

Perry H. Maupin

August 29, 1927 - November 9, 2015

Loving and greatly loved father and grandfather, Perry H. Maupin, born August 29, 1927, passed away at his home with family, November 9, 2015. He was the oldest of four children born of Dorthy Smith and Howard Perry Maupin in Bremerton, Washington. He moved with his family to the Quillayute Prairie by Forks, Washington as a child, where he attended school and loved hiking and exploring the area. He raised his family in Forks, eventually moving to Portland, Oregon and settling in Vancouver, Washington for the past 35 years. Perry went to school with and married Mae Hutsell and had 5 children. He then married Cindy Ratcliffe and had 3 more children. He was married to the “Love of His Life”, Thelma Griffin for 28 wonderful years. In his early years, he worked as a log truck driver and was a semi-truck driver for most of 40 years, traveling throughout the U.S. Perry joined the Army in 1945-47 at Fort Lewis. He served his time in Austria and was assigned to unit Troop D, 24th Constabulary Squadron and received the decoration WWII Victory Medal. He was a Veteran, Teamster, lifetime member of the National Rifle Association and a member of the Million Mile Club. His special interests were his family, his 5 dogs, metal detecting, rock hounding, gardening (with an elite raspberry patch,) estate sales, and caring for all the critters in his neighborhood. Perry is a decedent of Howard Perry Maupin whom Maupin, Oregon was named after. He has enjoyed studying and sharing the history of his heritage. He and about 50 members of his family made a pilgrimage to Ashwood and Maupin Oregon in 2014, to share family history. Perry is survived by brothers Eddy Maupin, and Bert Maupin; sister Teresa Reyes and Rick Klahn; son Zachary W. Maupin; daughters Teresa Darlain, Katherine R. Fuhrer, Holly M. Carter, Julie C. Maupin, Elizabeth P. Sherbaugh, Lara D. Postiglione; and many grand children, great grandchildren and one great-greatgrandson. He is preceded in death by his wife Thelma Marie Maupin, son Howard Dean Maupin, grandsons Jason Edward Davis, John Henry Davis and Alexander Edward Maupin. Memorial services will be held December 5, 2015, 2:00 p.m. at 9415 NE 212th, Vancouver, WA 98682. The family asks in lieu of flowers, please donate to the ASPCA, www.aspca.org

You may have seen them working hard around town lately. They are trustees from the Forks jail. They have picked up litter, done weed eating, edged around the sidewalks, kept the area around “the big log” looking great and have made everything look amazing. A couple of weeks ago, in the pouring down rain, they scraped dirt from the sidewalk cracks and swept it up. The group is working under the direction of Archie Larson, City of Forks.

At the end of October, the Miller Tree Inn hosted The Red Chair. The Red Chair Travels is the story of a humble red chair as it journeys all across America hosted by the friendly innkeepers of the nation’s B&B’s. The journey started in 2011 on Cape Cod and continues to this day as the chair moves from one inn to the next as a treasured guest and new American icon. At each stop, the Red Chair is introduced to all that is memorable and beautiful about the local area, with a B&B owner as the chair’s concierge. While in the West End, the Red Chair went to the beach, the woods and had Dr. Cullen’s lab coat placed over its back and photos recorded these events.

Willoughby Creek Campground closed The Willoughby Creek Campground is a casualty of last week’s high rainfall and high river water. According to David Cole, management forester, Olympic Region, Washington State Department of Natural Resources, a log jam has formed on the south side of the river and pushed the storm flow directly at the campground. So far, approximately 20 feet of river bank have fallen into the river. Cole said, “Until the river changes course again, I would

expect we will continue to see erosion of the campground during high water. Nothing more has gone into the river since yesterday (Nov. 19) as the wa-

ter has dropped quite a bit. We have closed it for public safety concerns and will re-evaluate the future of the campground after winter.”

Forks Community Hospital employees held the Turkey Bowl, a touch football event, on Friday, Nov. 20, at Spartan Stadium. The game was a fundraiser for United Way and $360 was raised. Everyone had fun and organizers hope it will become an annual event. Submitted Photo

Members of the Bogachiel Garden Club recently replaced the summer flowers in the Forks Visitor center flower boxes with a mixture of evergreens and ivy with a splash of red. The next garden club meeting will be at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 16 at the community center. The December program will be Christmas Creative Arts: gift boxes, wraps, bows and table-scape design with Laura Lafrenz and Linda Wells. Everyone is welcome.

The Puffin Cafe is now open by Christi Baron For Jennifer and Robert Guetter, Friday the 13th is their lucky day. Not only has that date factored into a number of important events in their lives but that is the day the Puffin Cafe in Forks recently opened. The remodeled former Smokehouse restaurant, that sits along U.S. Highway 101, near the turnoff for the LaPush Road, has a whole new look. The Guetters had hoped to be open in June but various obstacles got in the way. The Guetters also operated a Puffin Cafe in Washougal. Jennifer said, “Our restaurant in Washougal has a pirate theme. We are right on the water there. But we decided for this restaurant we would keep our menu that we know, but go with the puffin bird in our decor.” The interior of the restaurant has reused wood from other buildings on the property in the

decor, handmade tables with inlaid penny tops, and in addition to the restaurant seating area, a small bar area is to the side. And pictures of puffins. The kitchen has new equipment and an open element. The menu is Caribbean-inspired but Jennifer pointed out they do offer a good old-fashioned bacon cheeseburger, too. The choices on the menu offer some spicy and flavorful selections. Future plans for the building include a possible convenience store with specialty snacks and beers, a growler station and down the line the possibility of a banquet area for meeting or special events and a covered outside eating area for the summer season. Last week the bar area still was awaiting the go-ahead, but when it opens it will feature some special house drinks and the regular ones, too. The bar will offer happy hour from 3-6 p.m. and for now the restaurant hours are 11 a.m.-9 p.m. daily.

Jennifer and Robert invite you to stop in for some fish tacos, voodoo soup and handmade salsa and more.

Olympic Corrections Center Firewood to Tonasket Many people may be aware of the partnership that Olympic Corrections Center has with the community of Forks. Not just in the fact that many residents are employed at OCC but the amazing way John Aldana and staff with inmate help give back to the community. Recently that spirit of giving back helped the community of Tonasket. Tonasket was one of the areas devastated by wild-

fires this past summer. An inquiry came in for help, many people had lost homes, lost their firewood and because of the fires, no firewood cutting permits were being issued in the Tonasket area. The OCC inmates with help of the Lions Club and Rayonier already help members of the Forks community with firewood so within two days the project was off and running.

Palleted firewood is ready to go on the truck.

The Tonasket area was devastated this past summer by fire, much of the area is burned over. Photos Olympic Corrections Center

The DNR helped with blowdown and The Fruit Growers also got involved providing blowdown from their tree farm for use in the project. OCC inmates cut the wood and according to James O’Hara, OCC, Corrections Industries palleted and shrink-wrapped the wood to get it ready for its journey to Tonasket. When the wood arrived in Tonasket, the man running the forklift offloading the firewood was one of the many that had lost a home. O’Hara said, “That guy was there to help, he wanted to give back.” A longterm recovery is facing the residents of Tonasket but thanks to OCC inmates and staff, they will have firewood for the winter.

One of the best things about the advice I offer on the subject of alternative energy is that it is easy to ignore. My immediate neighbor, Chris, moved to the upper Bogachiel neighborhood 14 years ago and set upon the business of building shelter. I tried to impress upon him the need to incorporate all the wire he would require into his construction. I was shocked when he told me that he intended no electricity or plumbing. The darkness of the rain forest hung over his building site. I assured him that he would be sorry for his austerity. He gleefully ignored my advice and lives happily with propane lights or the beam of a headlamp. It makes no sense to him at all, the amount of money and human energy I have expended on my utilities. His message to me is

Forks

that, in moving to the wilderness interface, one must ramp down the voracious appetite we, in the developed world, hold for technology, creature comforts and electrical entertainment. On the other side of the Dead Dog Divide (Milepost 181 to 182 U.S. Highway 101), my friend, Ed, settled into the lower Hoh. He sought out my advice on alternative energy. My first admonition was to hook up to PUD since public power already was trenched into his property. Ed ignored that advice and announced his plans to power his farm off of photovoltaics. I told him that he would need at least a thousand watt array to charge a large battery bank to support a large enough inverter to service his grid. An inverter transforms direct current from the batteries to 110 v.a.c. house power. I told him that my experience with direct current fans, lights,

entertainment systems and, particularly plumbing, served to commit me to the inefficiencies inherent in an inverter. Ed ignored my advice and went with low voltage, direct current for his plumbing, lighting, refrigeration and all other applications. He gets by wonderfully without an inverter and only 300 watts worth of solar panels. Much of what we use electrical energy for falls in the category of luxury or creature comfort. Less so with lighting. To go about the business of survival, most of us need to see. When your average schmoe moves into the country with the intention of building and powering his backcountry palace with a gasoline generator, everything may run smoothly though the construction. One learns to bunch up all the jobs that require electricity and get them all done with a few startings and minimum run time on the genset. One’s utilities and lifestyle can build around a genset schedule such with the generator running for a few hours each night. This is when the plumbing works, when cell phones are charged, when the cabin is vacuumed and electrical entertainment is in queue. But we need light to get up in the night to pee; to put the cat out when it’s trying to throw up a hairball

on the kitchen counter or to deal with the family dog whom has just returned with a live skunk in his mouth. LED lighting is so efficient that battery-driven lights become somewhat practical. Houses plumbed for propane can have illumination with the striking of a match and there still are places to buy kerosene-driven lanterns. But if one is going to own and keep a generator in the outback for the purpose of construction and utility, it is a mistake to think that a 5 to 10 kilowatt genset is the answer to the challenge of artificial illumination. You will find that you can’t afford it. For the price of a battery charger, a couple of deep cycle batteries and a some 12 volt LED lights one can have artificial lighting 24 hours a day, at the flip of a switch. For decades I have used regular house switches for direct current. One must remember that for the same load or work, a 12 volt system is carrying 10 times the amperage as house power. So it’s possible to burn up one switch trying to control four 50 watt incandescent lights, (which amounts to more than 16 amps — well above the switch’s rating). It’s possible to carry both 110 volt and one pole of 12 volt direct current in the same wire.

Peel back the outer insulation of your house wiring and you probably will see a black, a white and a bare copper wire. In standard house wiring, the black is hot going to the brass colored screw of the outlet which runs to the smaller of the two slashes you see on the front (the one on the right). It’s worth knowing that this is the side that will shock you. If you follow the black wire back through any junctions, it will lead back to a fuse or breaker in your electrical panel. The white wire goes to the silver screw which in turn feeds the longer of those two slashes and is neutral. Most of us recognize that half-oval shape beneath the slashes on the outlet as ground. This runs by that naked copper wire back to the electrical panel where it is bussed to all the other white and copper wires along with a wire going to a stake driven into the ground. One can jumper neutral and ground at an outlet box and assign the white wire to direct current positive. By bussing the battery negative side to the same ground as the 110 v.a.c. the bare copper wire carries both alternating and direct current without conflict. But in doing so, one defeats the major safety feature of dedicated ground wire seen in modern house wiring.

Merrill Whittier: West End Pioneer By Christi Baron

In 1900, according to the census, 139 people lived on the Forks Prairie. One of those families was the Whittiers. Merrill, Martha and their eight children called this place home. Merrill had been born in 1838 in Nova Scotia and came to the U.S. in 1861. He later settled in the Dungeness area and married Martha Weir. The Weirs had homesteaded on the lower Dungeness River and had come from Texas in 1858. In 1870, Whittier heard from local Indians, of a large prairie over the mountains from Pysht. The prairie, was they claimed, in heavy timber near a second fork of a large river. It did not have an

Indian settlement but was used by them as a hunting ground. So that same year he and his father-in-law, via canoe, came to Pysht where they met a man named Babcock. Babcock had a trained ox that could pack through timber and he offered to loan himself and the ox to go in search of this fabulous prairie over the mountains. There was no trail. The natives used the water route to get from Cape Flattery to LaPush. The ox carried most of the supplies which consisted of flour, salt pork, coffee, salt, sour dough seed, one blanket each, musket balls, matches, black powder and axes. They started up the Pysht River crossing back and forth and

camping that first night. The next morning they started up the mountain. They came down into a great country with a brand new river, which was the Sol Duc. A few days later they discovered barefoot tracks. Whittier was a good tracker and in a short while the tracks led the party over a faint Indian trail to a wonderful prairie edged with timber, which they called the prairie of the forks, as it lay in the forks of the great river. That night they camped there and timber wolves killed their dogs. Whittier liked the country as there was plentiful beaver, fish and game. He made a plan to someday move to this fertile and unsurveyed land. Later in 1880 he did just that and other settlers were coming, too. There was no rush in those days for land here on the Forks Prairie and the few settlers that were here respected the rights and intentions of the others. The land where Whittier eventually built his cabin was in the middle of his 160 acres, which is now the business section of downtown Forks. He lived on the property for 20 years raising his family and crops. His main crop was hops. Hops were baled and were canoed to a schooner at Mora from an Indian named Clockobuckets’ fish station on the Bogachiel. Shelalips

CHIGGERS, from page 14 strand AWG #12. For a longer run of low voltage wire, it’s best to move up to AWG #10 and put the white and bare copper on the negative ground side. Or a solution I have used is to buy one 250foot roll of white insulated #12 and one black one. Use the black for positive and white for negative … or the reverse if that better serves your memory. The shorter the wire run, the more efficient the application. When you have to make long runs, the more wire you can put between the battery and the load, the brighter your lights and the longer run time on your battery. I am extremely comfortable with my friends, neighbors and readers ignoring my advice. How would I feel if someone took one of my half baked ideas from the pages of the Forks Forum and burned down their dwelling with it? I have never burned down a home, but I have come precariously close. The power of my advice is built upon the heaping of mistakes I have made in over 40 years of living off the grid. So, for those few that still might be interested, I will offer a few more kernels of advice on the subject of house wiring in my next column, which will conclude my long diatribe on alternative energy.

was the later name. The hops business was a difficult one in this damp climate and eventually it was abandoned because the hops would tend to mold. The Whittiers would later leave Forks and in 1901 Martha Whittier died in Seattle from pneumonia. Her youngest child was only 1 year old. Merrill died in February 1924, in Stanwood.

Legal Notices Forks Zoning Code Call for Issues, Changes, Amendment Pursuant to Forks Municipal Code Chapter 17.115, the City of Forks is hereby soliciting proposed changes and amendments to the Forks Zoning Code – FMC Title 17. Requested changes could include: • Applicants wanting to obtain change of zoning designations, or change of existing zoning boundaries; • Clarifications of existing code language; • Additions to the land use matrix (FMC 17.15.060); etc . Proposals can be for property within the City already subject to the Forks Zoning Code, as well as property within the Forks Urban Growth Area where zoning has been proposed and would take place upon annexation of such properties into the City of Forks. Individuals wanting proposals to be considered by the Planning Commission need to submit their proposed zoning amendment request in writing to the City prior to 31 December 2015. If the proponent is requesting a change to a property’s current zoning designation, the application must include a list of the name(s), mailing address(es), and property description of the legal owners of property subject to the requested change. The City may propose modifications to the zoning code during this period of time as well addressing interpretation issues, notice requirements, and/or other issues raised over the past year. In January, all received requests for amendments will be reviewed by City Staff, as well as reviewed under the State Environmental Policy Act. At its meeting in either February or March 2016, or possibly at a subsequent month, the Forks Planning Commission may hold a public hearing on the proposed amendments. Following that hearing, the Commission would make recommendations on the proposed amendments to the Forks City Council. Any action by the Council would only occur following a properly noted public hearing. If you need information on the zoning code, information on how your property is zoned, or proposed for zoning (outside of the City of Forks but within the Forks Urban Growth Area), or if you have any questions, please contact Mr. Fleck at 360/3745412, ext. 245; or via e-mail at rodf.forks@forkswashington.org. Individuals wanting to obtain notices of meetings of the Forks Planning Commission and/or City Council regarding the amendments to the Forks Zoning Code can contact Mr. Fleck as well.
