The mysterious disappearance of Mr. Robison

By Christi Baron

A meeting to discuss the cur-rent drought situation on the West End was held Wednesday, Aug. 5, at the Rainforest Arts Center in downtown Forks. The good news about the drought is that there is really no good news.

Representatives from the city and other entities each gave a report on their situation and their concerns.

Mayor Bryon Monohon welcomed the small group of citizens that came to learn more. The mayor said we are facing a challenging time and that 60 percent of Washington is in drought conditions. Al-though he added that city wells have been lower than they are at this time, it was later in the dry season when the low water levels appeared. “We are cur-rently at late August levels,” Monohon said.

Mike Gallagher from the Department of Ecology gave the most in-depth presentation. He said 2009 was the last time the entire state was declared to be in a drought. He focused on the lack of snow pack and the higher freezing level of around 7,000 feet to be a factor and shared photos of normal snow years compared to this year.

He said that other areas of the state, such as the Yakima Val-ley, have half the water avail-able that they usually have and have lost crops as a result.

He added as these weather conditions continue fish strand-ings will become a major problem.

Gallagher said we are head-ing into uncharted territory and urged citizens to consult with the Clallam County Conserva-tion District to learn tips for conserving water.

He also spoke of being fire-wise as far as how homes

are landscaped. With the dry weather fire danger has increased.

Matt Heil with the Sol Duc Hatchery said that that so far its brood stock is healthy, but low flows and warmer water are extremely bad for fish health, causing disease and stress.

Heil said fish migration is

going to be a tough situation and WDFW is working with the tribes to take a pro-active approach and they have already done some diversion work to help fish passage. “This current drought situation could affect fish returns for years to come.”

Frank Geyer with Quileute Natural Resources spoke about enforcement of fishing laws be-

ing a concern. “We knew early in the year that these drought conditions were going to be a concern,” he said.

“QNR has been monitoring the situation, fish getting to the spawning grounds is a big con-cern, we may end up digging trenches if we have to.”

Dave Zellar, City of Forks Public Works director, said,

“In 29 years I have never seen water this low this early.”

“Right now we are asking for voluntary conservation. We need three weeks of solid rain to get the wells back up to normal levels.”

As of now the city is check-ing the levels of the wells each Friday.

Rod Fleck, City of Forks attorney/planner, said, ”Con-servation is buying us time, school is starting early, the school is one of our biggest water users.”

“If stricter conservation methods are needed, the Forks Police Department would enforce the rules.

“For those on wells expe-riencing dry wells there are programs through the USDA with no or low interest loans for drought situations,” Fleck added.

“If we continue in this pat-tern, in October we are really going to feel the impact.”

Break-in at former Pay and Save

The Forks Police Depart-ment is reporting that a person or persons broke into the now closed Pay and Save building sometime late night Sunday or early morning Monday. They made access through the roof and exited through a window when the alarm went off.

FPD Administrator Rick Bart said it was unknown at press time if any items had been taken.

Volunteers from near and far are invited to help remove ma-rine debris from Olympic Penin-sula beaches on Saturday, Sept. 19, as part of the International Coastal Cleanup organized each fall by CoastSavers (See www.coastsavers.org to sign up). That evening, participants, friends and admirers also are invited to celebrate our freshly cleaned beaches at the 1st Annual Salm-on Feed and Poetry Read to be held in Forks.

Poets, musicians and storytell-ers from around the peninsula will tell tales, recite rhymes and sing from the heart — all for the sake of our magnificent, produc-tive coastline. Join the City of Forks, Lions Clubs, the North

Mark your calendar for 1st Annual Salmon Feed and Poetry Read planned for the International

Coast Cleanup on Sept. 19 in ForksOlympic Coast Marine Resourc-es Committee and CoastSavers for an evening you’ll not soon forget.

Thanks to Dr. Nancy Messmer of Clallam Bay Sekiu Lions Club, word of the event already has reached clear around the Pacific Ocean. At the recent Lions International Convention in Hawaii, she invited partners to visit the peninsula and par-ticipate in the fall cleanup. Lions Club members are encouraged to complete service projects in four areas: Sight and Hearing, Relieving Hunger, Engaging Youth, and Protecting Our En-vironment. Beach cleanups are growing in popularity as a form of “voluntourism.”

They also serve to raise aware-ness of the impacts of marine debris to people and wildlife as well as the common sources of the debris. It may be surprising to learn that most marine debris is generated regionally when it washes off of the landscape into storm drains and rivers or is lost during recreation, fishing and

shell fishing activities. Mess-mer’s goal for this year’s ICC is increasing the rate of recycling of collected marine debris.

This past April, the NPC MRC, CoastSavers, the City of Forks and Lions Clubs hosted RainFest events scheduled to coincide with springtime’s Washington Coast Cleanup, including the River & Ocean Days, Trashion Show and Film Festival.

Check out the work of Lions Club neighbors to the north. The Gabriola Lions of British Colum-bia cleaned their beaches this sum-mer and posted a film on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SRxVd6mV00&feature=you tube.

Forks Police Administrator, Rick Bart, was surprised with a plaque recognizing his department at the Forks City Council meeting on July 27. Forks Community Hospital CEO David Sell-man and hospital board member Daisy Anderson presented Bart with the plaque.

Sellman said, “In my 20-plus years of running hospitals, I have found that the only way we can meet our mission is though partnerships. In my few months here I have found that the Forks Police Department and Chief Bart exemplify that partnership. They have assisted us many times to provide safe care for patients and employees.”

“Daisy thought it would be a good idea to honor them and surprise them with a show of appreciation from the board and our medical staff,” Sellman said. Photo Christi Baron

Thank You

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford

I went to the hot springs this weekend. If you have never been there before, you need to know one thing about the place; it has a very distinct smell. I use the word “distinct” because the aroma of hard-boiled eggs mixed with the side

effects of chili is not found anywhere else in the world.

If I were them, I would advertise this unique trait. People love to visit places that boast of being, “The only place in the world where you can find …” For example, just look at all of the amazing things that the World’s Only Corn Palace has done for the town of Mitchell, S.D.

Wait, where is Mitchell, S.D?Seriously though, you will barely notice this scent when

visiting the hot springs … if you don’t have a nose. Everyone else will notice it immediately. However, rest assured that once you get past the original shock of the smell, it comes on even more strongly. Believe me though, there will come a time when you don’t even notice it at all. That time will be two weeks after leaving the hot springs.

All kidding aside, I love that place! And I am not merely say-ing that because the general manager is a really nice guy who happens to be a friend (hopefully a friend with a good sense of humor). Yes, that’s right, I know the GM of the hot springs.

Sadly, when I say, “I know your boss! Don’t think I won’t call him about the ice in my water when I requested no ice!” no one seems to care. Maybe they instinctively know that I don’t have his number because we are more “smile at the store” kind of friends as opposed to “actually talk to each other on the phone” kind of friends.

Regardless, the phrase, “I know the GM” doesn’t get me anywhere there. It doesn’t work in Forks either because it’s pretty much a given that the residents know the owners of the businesses here. Funny enough, some people still try that line. “I’m good friends with the owner!” They’ll say. So is every-one else in here. Take your seat.

But this column is not about special treatment or who knows whom or even how smelly the hot springs area is. This column is about my recent conclusion that there is a car dealership out there somewhere selling cars without rearview mirrors.

I came upon this conclusion on my way to the hot springs when I found myself 10 cars behind someone driving 25 miles UNDER the speed limit. I refuse to believe that there are people out there who are such selfish, inconsiderate assets to our roadways that they won’t do the right thing and pull over. No. This poor guy was without rearview mirrors and didn’t see all 79 of us behind him.

Or maybe he was trying to find out where that smell was coming from?

For questions or comments, you can find me at the hot springs unless I get banned from there at which point you can e-mail me at [email protected].

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLICYThe Forks Forum belongs to the readers of the newspaper. The opinion section is the

place where reader thoughts appear as letters to the editor. Letters longer than 300 words are sent back to the writer for revision. We only edit for spelling and grammar. Any substantial changes are sent to the letter writer for revision. While we strive to publish all letters, those focusing on local issues take precedence over statewide or national issues. No personal attacks or unsubstantiated allegations are accepted. Those letters are returned to the writer with an explanation why the letter is not going to run in its existing form.

Deadline for letters to appear is noon the Monday before publication. Letters are published on a space-available basis, with time-sensitive letters on local issues taking first priority. There are times, therefore, when a letter might not appear for a week or two.

Letters to the editor can be mailed to the Forks Forum, PO Box 300, Forks, WA 8331; e-mailed to [email protected]; faxed to 374-5739; or dropped off at our office at 44 S.

It’s the sulfur, we swear!

This past weekend was the annual Hogathon hike to Toleak Point. Never hear of the Hogs? They are a group of friends that

gather each August for an annual hike and camp-out. All are Forks High School grads.

The routine always

includes a send-off breakfast at the Forks Coffee Shop, which took place last Wednesday morning. After breakfast the group gathered at the look-out tower at the Forks Timber museum for the accompanying photo.

They took time for the photo because when inspired by fel-low Hog Mike Drovdahl, they all pitched in funds to help with the cost of repairs for the look-out. Drovdahl had spent a summer in a look-out. (The look-out pictured is a different one but the interior is from the tower Drovdahl worked in). Thanks to the group the entire $3,000 has been raised and repairs soon will begin under the direction of the Forks Lions Club.

The Hogs and Hog support team are:

This year one of the Hogs even tried out his new knee. I didn’t hear of anyone being air-lifted out so I can only assume everyone made it out alive.

IN FORKS CITY COUNCIL NEWS:

On Monday night Linda McGinley was selected on the second motion to fill the empty Forks City Council seat.

McGinley is filling the seat vacated by Kevin Hinchen who recently moved outside the city limits. She was immediately sworn in by Mayor Bryon Monohon. Her seat expires Dec. 31.

Others in the running were former council member Tim Fletcher and Ed Losby.

Monday night’s council meet-ing also was the last for public works director Dave Zellar. Zellar has been with the city for 29 years and will be taking a job in Port Townsend. Photo Dave Youngberg

EMERGENCY CLOSURE OF RECREATIONAL FISHING IN MOST ONP RIVERS, STREAMS

To protect fish during the ongoing severe drought condi-tions, an emergency closure of recreational fishing was enacted on Monday, Aug. 10, at 12:01 a.m. on most rivers and streams within Olympic National Park. Current conditions have made Pacific salmon, steelhead and bulltrout exceptionally vulnera-ble because of low stream flows and high water temperatures.

The following river systems within Olympic National Park were closed to all recreational fishing on Aug. 10: Bogachiel, South Fork Calawah, Sol Duc, North Fork Sol Duc, Dickey, Queets, Salmon, Quinault and North Fork Skokomish Riv-ers (including East and North

The Konapackis will be here through September and then will head back east to Chicago to spend time with family before heading south. They have enjoyed their time in Forks and plan to come back next summer to volunteer at the museum again. They also think that we lie about the fact that it rains here all the time.

Forks) and their tributaries and Cedar, Goodman, Kalaloch and Mosquito Creeks in the Pacific Coastal area.

The Elwha, Hoh and South Fork Hoh Rivers already are closed within the park to protect salmon populations.

This year’s severe drought conditions have reduced river flows to historic low levels. Low river and stream levels not only reduce the amount of wa-ter and space available for fish, but also lead to elevated water temperatures that can weaken or even kill Pacific salmon.

Pacific salmon and trout show signs of physiological stress at water temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, with lethal effects beginning at 70 de-grees. Daily high temperatures in excess of 60 degrees have already been observed in many Olympic Peninsula rivers and have occasionally reached 70

degrees in the lower Sol Duc and Dungeness rivers.

Low water and high water temperatures can slow or even stop upstream salmon migra-tions. The broad application of this closure is necessary to address angling pressure during these extreme drought condi-tions to better protect Pacific salmon, steelhead trout and federally threatened bulltrout in the park’s rivers and creeks.

The mouth and coastal section of the Quillayute River within Olym-pic National Park remains open for recreational fishing, as do Lake Crescent, Lake Ozette and the park’s many high country lakes.

Olympic National Park sport fishing regulations for 2015-2016 are available on the park’s website at www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/fishing.htm, park visitor centers, fee booths, ranger stations and area fishing stores.

Jacklyn Savage of Coronado, Calif., Coach Hester Hill of Port Angeles, and John Doherty of Beaver participated in the Washington Senior Games Badminton section last weekend in Lakewood. Savage and Doherty won the Bronze Medal in Mixed Doubles.

Doherty and Seattle partner Ted De Brais took the Gold Medal in Men’s Doubles. Doherty captured the Silver Medal in Open Men’s Singles in the Westsound Games in early July.

Savage, Hill and Doherty have participated in Badminton Tourna-ments throughout the United States and Canada for more than 55 years.

Hill mentored the Port Angles Junior Badminton Club for more than 20 years winning in excess of 50 U.S. National Titles. She is a former multi-event national champion and succeeded world renowned Coach Vern Burton for whom the Port Angeles Community Center is named.

Girls Soccer Weight Room

WorkoutsThe Forks girls soccer

team will have the op-portunity to workout with weights on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thurs-days beginning this week. The weight room at the high school will be open from 7-8 p.m. for this activity.

For new Forks High School football coach Craig Shetterly the secret to a successful future season just might be connecting to the legacy of Spartans past.

“We had a good turnout in the spring and 40 players attended football camp,” Shetterly said. “We have about 30 athletes a day in the weight room.”

Some of that connection to the past includes two former Forks Spartans, Jason Richards and Jim Leppell, both who are on the coaching staff. “Richards played with Terry Jensen and Jim Lep-pell has been around a while and brings a fresh perspective, the players sense the staff is feeling good.”

“But we know we are going into the season in a challenging league, distance and travel has an impact on the players.”

“So, I am focusing on what we can control, how to do every-thing to prepare, not just show up but to be mentally prepared.”

Shetterly said that expectations have to be at a different level, adding that it is his job to convince players they can be success-ful.

“I am starting to see everyone get more excited as we get closer to the season starting.”

Shetterly feels the biggest thing now is the weight room, “In football the great equalizer is physicality, plus getting players in the weight room will help with injuries.” In the weight room he is using the Sinclair Point System and the 1,000 Point Club as a challenge to players. So far Jack Dahlgren has made the club. Those that make it get a special shirt.

He said at camp Spartans played some state champions. “No team was easy.”

“I want to connect the current team to the past, build a legacy of

Spartan Football 2015

tradition and respect. Everyone here is a Spartan, they have gone through it. As a team we have a rare opportunity to carry this challenge, we are in a unique club. We carry on this tradition with humility and respect and honor the success.” Go Spartans!

OLYMPIC VETERINARY CLINIC

A Terrill/Kinkead collaboration

Will you just look at the Goodings’ house go up! Have you driven by the Maloney Lane site to see how far we’ve come since April? We have been so blessed to have the Care-a-Vanners here on two separate occasions, plus our loyal local volunteers, that we are willing to bet we can have the Goodings into their new home well ahead of the original deadline!

But houses take money to build before the mortgage ever kicks in, so the Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County Board members have divided themselves into teams and challenged each team to raise $5,000.

Shele Kinkead, the board member representing Forks, has three great team members living in Port Angeles, who have selected Forks for their campaign, and they need ev-erybody’s help.

Look at this equation: 2X4=5. While it doesn’t work mathematically, it may well be what gets Shay and Kristal into their house early. Two by

fours are our basic building materials. Five, refers to the $5,000 campaign. (So enough with the English teacher jokes.)

Shele’s team will be at Thriftway from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Aug. 28-29 wearing their bright Habitat shirts and their bright Habitat smiles, sharing stories and photos and asking for your help in this chal-lenge.

You know Shele, she used to be the principal at the elemen-tary school. With her will be Donn Wiley, Dave Neupert and Bobbi Chapman from Port Angeles.

Thanks to an individual do-nation of $750, we are well on our way and all contributions, no matter the size, are deeply appreciated! Just stop by and say hello and see what we’ve been doing.

We would like to challenge the kids as well as the adults this time around. Do you get an allowance or get paid for chores? Would you like to help two other children get into safe, healthy housing?

This is your chance. Every-body, please pitch in. We need to demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt that Forks is capable of sustaining these builds. The need is definitely here, and the good folks who will see that the need is met abound here. How can we lose! 2X4=5. Forks support-ing Forks, equals success! Remember the old high school cheer, “We’re little but we’re mighty, we’re small but we’re proud”? That’s us. That’s Forks! Go team!

In my past, I always thought of business as busy-ness! Being busy all the time to me represent-ed the business world; I thought it was unresolvable stress and not much fun until I opened the Food Co-op! However, this last week something really special happened.

Greeted each morning by the gentle morning sunrise, on the hills overlooking the cozy town of Forks, we bounced into a welcoming adventure capably led by Mike Skinner.

Mike of Pinchot University’s Center for Inclusive Entrepre-neurship took an enthusiastic group of “soon to be” entrepre-neurs (business folk) through a well-structured, humorous and empowering Boot Camp. Some of you may have seen the “invi-

Busy-ness or Entrepreneurship?tation to apply” for Washington Coast Works Sustainable Small Business Competition as fliers were placed around all of the towns starting as south as Ab-erdeen and going north as far as the reservation in Neah Bay on the Pacific Coast of the beautiful Olympic Peninsula.

Prior to selection, interested parties were invited to attend any of the four Ideation Events held at various spots along the way. We were exposed to fun, entertainment and interaction as we moved forward with applica-tions for the competition ahead of us. From this event, we all were invited to present an outline of our business ideas, either new startups or expansion of exist-ing businesses from which 12 proposals were selected, along with three alternates.

This is where the sun shines

on the early morning in Forks! Folks were full of great ideas for innovative businesses on the coast and 15 of those were “con-scripted” to Boot Camp which was held at the Olympic Natural Resource Center in Forks, high on the hill a well-kept secret! We were all treated to an open-ing on Thursday evening where officials came from city, county and state to launch this, the first of such events on the Olympic Peninsula. The room was full of exciting anticipation as the camp was launched into its three and a half day program. No room for slackers here! They worked us at speed from 8 a.m.-9 p.m. daily, talking about conservation of natural resources, management practices and sustainability, how to co-operate one with the others, to simplify, to create newness and put our brand onto it! Friendships were formed and liaisons planned.

The homework now begins!We, the 12 participants, will

move forward by preparing our

personal business presentation to present a pitch to judges in Seattle. They will choose one winner and two runners-up to receive the prizes that will sup-port existing businesses or new startups.

We all won! It was a great time!Watch your community for

new, exciting businesses launch-ing great ideas. There is a lot to talent in this group.

Big thank you to Taala Fund, First Federal, Pinchot, Nature

Conservancy, USDA, CIE and all of the wonderful faces that fed, mentored, coached and clapped us on. I have a totally different idea of business now; it is entertaining and full of excitement.

Announcements will be made in Ocean Shores on Oct. 16. No matter who wins the grand prize, the best part is it worked for everyone, through friendships, brainstorming and networking.

Excitement is in the air.

“We took our car to Rialto, then drove to Lake Ozette, walked to Cape Alava,” commented Jeb. “Loved the old-growth forests,” whispered Ramona. “Walked to Sand Point,” finished Jeb. “It was raining,” said Ramona. “It was gorgeous, the camping area had lots of folk camping out,” Ramona added. “There were hikers like us. Perfect for families,” Ramona shared a gleam in her eyes. “Perfect for families, but the water was murky.”

“But you can swim,” said Jeb.

“The stream had fresh water coming down the slope, but it came out a lot like the Naked Green Machine drink! A beau-tiful spot, camp area, I will e-mail you a shot of the area.

Really something,” added Jeb.“It was a really challenging

experience, the hardest part, was not knowing what the terrain was going to be like. I most enjoyed the parts that were south of the popular ar-eas that people visited, it was so beautiful! The isolation was something else, I won’t forget it in a long time. I saw whales at play, otters swimming, seals in the water and eagles being eagles. Seeing the wildlife be-ing wild is beautiful,” Ramona shared.

“The modern world recorded itself clearly on the beaches, with the wash-up from ships and some things from Japan.”

I especially liked the Nor-wegian Memorial, it was beautiful. Garbage had been collected by previous hikers and they had made some of the most interesting things out

Hikers like us!of the trash! Made shift tables, benches, buckets, a checker board with black and red stones all left in place for the next players. I felt like I was on the set of Swiss Family Robinson, or the Tom Hanks movie where life is made by wash-ups. Someone’s trash is someone’s treasure, you know the story,” said Ramona.

“I am from Kingston and Dad is from New Hampshire. Dad and I like to hike together and this trip was on his bucket list. We came out here and did this hike 20 years back; he brought the whole fam-ily and camped on the beach. This time it was a clear and fabulous sky up until 2 a.m. and then by 6 a.m. it was rain-ing and fogged in. So much change!”

“From this adventure I learned to be determined. I love the excitement combined with the hard physical hike climbing over obstacles and problem solving on the go, moving around the challenge

of steep headlands, high tides, anticipation, anxiety or excite-ment. I realized I have a desire to experience the unknown,” said Ramona with a sigh.

“Accomplishment is a great feeling,” a relaxed Jeb said, “And, then the muscles ache and I am tired, I have a shave, a shower and then I am ready! I would do it again!”

Jeb shared his love of the great outdoors. He told me he has hiked 38 4,000-foot moun-tains in New Hampshire. All of the mountains every month of the year! “That equals 576 peaks!” he said. “It is called the Grid! Hot climbs in sum-mer, cold ones in winter, it is most treacherous in winter,” he reminisced.

“Why do I do it? Exercise, the more I do it the more I enjoy it. I have the knowledge and I am prepared for the obstacles!” With a sigh, Jeb confidently relaxed.

I asked Ramona what the hardest part of the hike was today. She didn’t hesitate,

“The headlands! They are tall and steep and they drop off straight into the ocean. We had to climb up over them at high tide. It is better to plan for low tide! At one point there is a boulder field, Cape Johnson I think it is, and that was chal-lenging. While I was carrying all of the weight of my pack I had to compromise and carry less water.

“A gallon of water is very heavy. A couple of beaches were the most beautiful I have ever seen, they were empty and untouched; I bathed in the beauty and aloneness I found there.” I asked about her overview of the journey. “It’s tough keeping up with the seniors,” she grinned as she glanced at her father.

Jeb smiled and said, “I am used to being interviewed! Please send me a copy of the article; I am a member of Congress for the State of New Hampshire!”

What if someone in your family disappeared? Just decided to leave their life behind, start a new life in another town? What kind of questions would those left behind want answered?

With today’s technology it would be hard to do, with cell phones, ATM transactions and Social Security numbers it would be more challenging to disappear, but back in the early part of the 1900s not really so hard, and a perfect place to do it? Maybe the West End of Clallam County.

William Russell Robison was working as a mining engineer in 1907 and operating out of the Spokane area, buying and selling mines. One day he left for a job, leaving his eight children and pregnant wife at home.

The Robison family had moved from Pennsylvania to Washington. Robison had built a lovely home in Medi-cal Lake and that’s where he and his family had recently moved to. It was not unusual for him to go off on mining expeditions while his family would remain at home until his return.

According to family history, he sent some letters home for a while but from where they were sent is long forgot-ten, and then time passed and the family never saw him again. The family grew up, had children of their own but questions of what happened remained.

About 20 years ago Ro-bison’s granddaughter Janet Haag of Olympia, began the search for her missing grand-father. Having been such a long time the trail was pretty cold.

Was he dead at the bottom of a mine shaft, murdered, had he started a new life somewhere else?

After searching and search-ing she could find no leads; it was possible he could have even changed his name. It seemed the search was going to go nowhere.

As more years passed by the families of the siblings lost contact with each other. Then Ed Robison of Port Ange-les, reunited with his cousin Janet and began to help in the search.

While searching on the Internet, Ed found a death certificate from Prescott, Ariz., the year of birth and the name matched his grandfather’s, but sadly the document pro-vided little other information, other than the man had died of pneumonia and had died in 1923.

After contacting the cem-etery to see if there was any other information, the cousins were able to find out that this man’s belongings had been sent to the Seattle office of “The Forks Drilling Compa-ny” of Forks, Washington.

The 1920 Forks Census lists a W.R. Robison residing near what is now Wood Street in Forks, at the time it would have been more forest than town. The information on the

The mysterious disappearance of Mr. Robison

census says that the individual refused to answer the census questions. Was this Robison hiding out?

The 1923 Polk’s Directory also lists a W.R. Robison re-siding in Forks. Had Robison been living in Forks, working for the Forks Drilling Com-pany and then sent to Arizona for a job? Where had he been since 1907?

The Polk’s Directory also lists that an office for the Forks Drilling Company was located at 119 N. Oak St. in Port Angeles.

In a 1977 interview, Forks pioneer Carl Wahlgren shared some of his memories with the Forks Forum. One story in-cluded working for the Forks Drilling Company starting in 1918. In the story he said he had a boss named Robison, he described him as a rough man, but he treated him nice.

It is Janet’s hope that this information can help answer some questions. Although it has been a long time, it is possible that some West End family may have a connection or perhaps someone’s ances-

tor in Port Angeles may have been associated with the Forks Drilling Company.

As far as the information of a man with the same name as her grandfather residing in Forks, Janet said, “It’s a needle in a haystack. Perhaps we’ll never know the answers, and maybe that’s as it should be; but when a new clue pops up I find it too challenging not to follow up on it.”

William Russell Robison’s mysterious disappearance may never be explained, but wouldn’t it be nice if it were?

Downtown Forks, around 1918, looking north. Did W. R. Robison walk these streets?

Happy Birthday Coast Guard

Rainforest Run 2015

Clallam County Health and Human Services has issued a report of the response activi-ties and costs associated with the 2015 measles outbreak in Clallam County. An estimated one-quarter of $1 million was spent by lead agencies on the measles response effort.

The first case of measles in Clallam County was confirmed on Feb. 3. Ultimately, five cases of measles were reported to CCHHS before the out-break was declared over by the Washington State Department

of Health on April 19. One additional case, resulting

in the death of a young woman with an underlying illness, was discovered after the outbreak was declared over. The report highlights the costs incurred by CCHHS, Washington State Department of Health and Olympic Medical Center through May 31.

Costs identified by the pri-mary response partners were estimated at $226,823.90. Since other partners could not report cost impacts and costs

resulting from response to the measles death were not in-cluded, the final figure is likely a gross underestimate of the costs to contain the outbreak.

According to Iva Burks, Clallam County HHS director, “The total cost to the com-munity for the six measles cases, including one death, is impossible to capture. The costs do not reflect cost of lost productivity among parents due to quarantine of children, health care costs of persons infected with measles, costs of

disruption of normal activities at the agencies and businesses affected, costs to providers not reported, and the cost of the tragic death of a young woman and the great loss to her family and friends.”

Measles is an infectious disease that was eliminated in 2000 from the United States. Vaccination rates have declined since that time making it pos-sible for this highly infectious disease to make a comeback. Interim Clallam County Health Officer Dr. Jeanette Stehr-

Green said, ”This is too high of a price tag for our community to pay. It is a wakeup call for all adults and children to get vaccinated against measles and other preventable diseases to protect not only themselves and their families, but vulnerable members of our community.”

A preliminary report was pre-sented to the Clallam County Board of Health on July 21. The newly released report can be accessed at: https://websrv7.clallam.net/forms/uploads/HHS_ExposureSites.pdf.
