Sunrise over the RAC

Due to the commentary in the Forks Forum last week and subsequent articles in the Penin-sula Daily News, District Ranger Dean Millett, Pacific Ranger District, issued two letters last week amending the process for community input regarding the Navy and USFS plan for an Electronic Warfare Range in the vicinity of Forks. One letter cancelled the previous com-ment period and the other extended it to Oct. 10, stating that the action was taken due to renewed interest.

According to the second letter, in addition the legal notice stating this fact will be published in the Peninsula Daily News.

PROPOSED ACTIONThe project proposes to allow by issuance

of a Special Use Permit of three Operation of Mobile Electronic Warfare Training System (MEWTS) mobile emitters in the Olympic Peninsula on USFS lands (existing roads) to

facilitate training in the Olympic MOAs and Warning Area at 12 (twelve) sites.

Those wishing to provide input and have standing (eligibility) during the future Objec-tion period for this project must be submitted to the project lead Greg Wahl at 1835 Black Lake Blvd. SW, Olympia, WA 98512. If you have any questions regarding the details of this proposal or have comments, contact Wahl at [email protected] or 360-956-2375. The office business hours for those submitting hand-delivered comments are: 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Those submitting electronic copies must put the project name in the subject line and must either submit comments as part of the e-mail message or as an attachment only in one of the following three formats: Microsoft Word, rich text format (rtf) or Adobe Portable Document Format (pdf), and can do so to the following e-mail address: comments-pacificnorthwest-

[email protected]. In cases where no identifiable name is at-

tached to a comment, a verification of identity will be required for objection eligibility. If us-ing an electronic message, a scanned signature is one way to provide verification. E-mails submitted to e-mail addresses other than the one listed above, in other formats than those listed, or containing viruses, will be rejected.

An online petition in opposition to the Warfare Range has been created by a Port Townsend resident and the Forks Chamber of Commerce plans to discuss the topic briefly at the group’s meeting Wednesday, Oct. 1, that will be held at the River’s Edge Restaurant in LaPush.

Forks Mayor Bryon Monohon said, “For any-one that has concerns, I suggest they contact their county commissioners and congressional staff.” He added that he did feel the commu-nity should have been better notified.

Yep, that sounds serious.Jerry StewartForks

More questions than answers

Dear Editor,There is quite a bit of con-

cern shown from many of the citizens of Forks over the Electronic Warfare operations that are proposed to soon take place in our area. There is a map of the site where the Navy will be using electro-magnetic radiation emitters. The map was printed in the Forks Forum and I believe there is a copy of the map in the Forks Library.

We have been given con-flicting information to our questions. When my daughter voiced her concerns she was told to contact Gregory Wahl, project lead and environmen-tal coordinator for the U.S. Forest Service, in Olympia. The following is her letter which I believe voices all our questions.

Electronic Warfare Sounds Serious

Dear Editor:Electronic Warfare, capable

of causing electromagnetic radiation exposure to hu-man beings and wildlife, that sounds serious and you can believe the U.S. Government is serious.

They say if humans or wild-life are detected, the activity must be stopped. Since when did the U.S. Government start caring about what they do to humans and wildlife?

Taking into account they went out of their way to hide this from us must mean they didn’t think we would like be-ing exposed to radiation.

Why don’t they go some-place where there aren’t humans and wildlife?

Well, obviously we are a very important part of the test, which makes us lab rats. They won’t even speak with us about this because they chose to ignore lab rats.

So how do you stop such a

chance I noticed a small sign at the Forks post office about three weeks ago and read that the public comment period had ended Aug. 14.

How convenient for slipping it past the people affected by this war range.

I have many questions regarding this practice. What exactly is it? What exactly will it be used for? What exactly does it do to the flora and fauna and people in its vicinity? What exactly is the purpose of this technology? Defensive or offensive? Does anyone who is making the decisions to okay this in our beloved area know exactly what they are okaying?

Yes, we are being bombard-ed every day by electromag-netic waves from numerous sources. Do we really wel-come and need anymore?

I, for one, do not want to promote any war, we need to focus on fixing our planet. When they want to start a Peacefare Training Range I’ll be the first to sign up and encourage them.

One last question that you may know the answer to – how did our area become a military operating area to begin with and when?

Thank you for your time and I would be grateful for any answers or help with this you might be able to impart.

Also, if your extended com-ment period applies only for the two people who comment-

ed previously, instead of all the interested citizens today, how convenient for you, and how unfair to us.

Support Shoona Riggs

Dear Editor,I am a 1962 Forks gradu-

ate currently living in Port Angeles. I am asking my classmates, friends, uncles, cousins, nephews and wives to vote for Shoona Riggs for Clallam County Auditor.

I have known Shoona Riggs for 16 years and she defines honesty and integrity. Shoona has worked in the Clallam County Auditor’s office for the past 18 years, eight of which she has been the Elections Supervisor, and is also the current Chief Deputy Audi-tor. She now works under the current Auditor, Patty Rosand, and has worked under sev-eral past auditors. Previously she worked in the Jefferson County Auditor’s office for six years before relocating to Port Angeles.

Shoona and her husband, Ron, are the parents of four children and are also foster parents. Shoona and her fam-ily have welcomed more than 20 children into their home over the past several years.

Most people do not know the duties of the Auditor. The Au-ditor has many functions such as elections, motor vehicle licensing, marriage licensing, recording and auditing other county offices budgets.

However there is a mis-conception that the Auditor handles public money. That is a function of the commission-er’s office and they ultimately approve expenditure of public monies. The auditor simply audits those budgets.

So, I am asking you to vote for Shoona Riggs who knows these offices inside and out and backwards! Experience counts and Shoona has all that and more!

SIORF (Soroptimist International of the Olympic Rain Forest) met on Thursday, Sept. 18, to begin plans for the annual Festival of Trees. The theme for 2014 is “Home for the Holidays” to be held at the Congregational Church from Dec. 6-7. Notifications to prospective sponsors will be going out soon.

Pre-orders for wreaths is open with any Soroptimist mem-ber.

New this year will be a Gingerbread House contest. The theme will be the same as the festival with three age catego-ries: children 4-7, youth 8-15 and adults 16 and up.

The entries must be the work of the contestant, all items on the entries except the base must be entirely edible. Entries will be judged on originality, best interpretation of the theme as well as technical ability in use of materials. Entry forms will be available soon with a list of prizes and fees.

Again, a raffle tree will be featured with the theme yet to be determined.

The Saturday Open House on Dec. 6 will follow Santa’s Breakfast and allow viewers to make early bids on the Silent Auction as well as preview the decorated trees, wreaths and gingerbread houses.

The Festival of Trees is SIORF’s largest fundraiser and we depend on the generous support of this community to meet our gift giving goals.

Dr. John Jackson has been in Forks about five weeks and so far he likes the people and his new job at the Bogachiel Clinic.

Having moved here with his wife and two children ages 10 and 7, he has found the people to be friendly and scenery green and thinks Forks might be a great place to raise kids.

Originally from Michigan, Jackson did his residency in the South Bronx in New York and has worked in Chicago, Kentucky, Nebraska, Montana, Oklahoma and Spokane. Jack-son’s practice will focus on family medicine and providing total prenatal care. Jackson said, “I will be available for prenatal care for the entire nine months. I have delivered 4,000 babies and performed

is staying well and says there is not a pill for everything. “We need to find the source of the illness,” he said.

Jackson describes himself as “old school medicine” and will see anyone that comes to the Bogachiel Clinic.

His hobbies include cook-ing and Jackson hopes to start a new hobby, fishing. He has been once since arriving here but really wants to catch a salmon. To make an appoint-ment with Jackson or set up a fishing trip, call the Bogachiel Clinic at 374-6998.

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.

Oh, the hypocrisy

Honoring a life of hard workBy christy rasmussen-Ford

Franklin Roosevelt established the Olympic National Park in 1938 in order to protect the area for future generations to enjoy. The National Park Service (NPS) has remained very serious about the “protect” part. If you look at, smell or touch anything in Olympic National Park, you can face the death penalty … or worse, be sentenced to drive behind tourists for

eternity.To better explain just how touchy the NPS

is about its land, I’d like to point out that there are exactly 31,587 rules and regula-tions just on the subject of roasting hot dogs there. To loosely (keyword being loosely) quote the NPS rulebook, “Hot dogs may be roasted over the fire, but they must be vegan as to not depress any animals that may have lost loved ones to the hot dog industry. You

cannot use wood roasting sticks because that would be using a resource found in the park, nor can you use a metal roasting stick because that would be introducing foreign material into the park.”

If you run a property in Olympic National Park, things get even more complicated. For example, just to remove a DEAD tree that is leaning dangerously over a propane tank, one needs to fill out more paperwork than is required to buy a house. After the paperwork is completed, experts from all areas must come to the agreement that removing the DEAD tree will have absolutely no impact on the rest of the park. Things get real heated when the philosophy expert weighs in on whether or not anyone will hear the tree removal if no one is around.

The NPS is the most strict with regards to animals, even going as far as to fine people who take pictures of animals “within any distance which disturbs or displaces wildlife,” (actual quote on the NPS website).

If you manage a business within Olympic National Park and mice decide to move in, these rodents cannot be harmed in any way. You must catch them in a live trap, relocate them to another area and redo this whole process a thousand times a week as mice know where to get their bread buttered … liter-ally.

Strangely enough, the same NPS that so dutifully protects wildlife is perfectly OK with allowing radiation experiments to be performed in areas immediately surrounding the park. Ra-diation experiments as in, “We don’t know what will happen when we do this.” I think about this contradiction and a little song by Alanis Morisette comes to mind, “And isn’t it ironic … don’t you think? A little too ironic … and, yeah, I really do think …”

Rest assured though, the NPS has proven itself time and time again. They will undoubtedly offer all the protection in the world to the cute little three-headed fish that come as a result of these radiation experiments. I know I can sleep well know-ing that the radioactive mutant species will never have pictures taken of them.

For questions or comments, e-mail me at Christy Rasmus-sen-at-yahoo.com with subject line: Hypocrisy.

unable to find a three-headed fish, this two-headed fish will have to do for now.

Every year since 1981 a “pio-neer logger” has been honored during the annual Hickory Shirt/Heritage Days celebration in Forks. This award is presented by the West End Business and Professional Association. Past recipients have received plaques, certificates and other items ac-knowledging their contribution

to the tim-ber industry. Many have not only left their mark on the West End economy but have made F o r k s t h e community

it is today. Lawrence Brager was the first

to receive the award. Born in Seattle, he and his brother came to Forks around 1935 and ran a logging company. His job usu-ally was running steam donkey.

Hassell Ray received the award in 1982. Raised in North Caro-lina, he came to Beaver in 1947 and worked for Rayonier until his retirement in 1980. His job was falling and bucking.

The next winners were Perry Duncan, Elsworth Whitehead, Ernie King and in 1986 Walter Roberg. In addition to working in the timber industry, Roberg was once mayor of Forks and a county commissioner in the 1950s. Roberg died in December of that same year.

In 1987, Bill Wentworth re-ceived the award, next was Ted Spoelstra, then Floyd Thornton, Joe Bunker and Wiley Duncan in 1991. Duncan was born on the Quillayute Prairie; his fa-ther Perry had been a previous recipient of the award. He was a busheler.

In 1992, Bob Tuttle Sr. was honored. In addition to operating

The late Lawrence Brager was the first “Pioneer Logger.” Anyone that remembers Lawrence will remember his favorite comment “everything is copacetic.”

a logging company, Tuttle also raised cattle and had a tree farm. Next was Martin Diimmel, then Ed Duncan, Ray Hull, Maynard Lucken, Del Huggins, Richard Miller and in 1999 Lawrence Gaydeski. Gaydeski also served as county commissioner. At the dedication of the Forks Logger Memorial in May 1992 Gaydeski tried to explain who a logger is and why anyone would choose this line of work.

In 2000, Jack Olson was cho-sen, then Joel Dahlgren and in 2002 Kaye Kelso was selected posthumously, his family accept-ing the award.

In 2003, Lloyd Allen and My-ron Simmons were both chosen, in 2004 Rocky Fletcher Sr. was honored. Wally Crippen in 2005 was not only a veteran of the woods, but also served in World War II and was at the Battle of the Bulge.

In 2006, the first woman to receive the award was Eleanor Thornton, a member of a local pioneer family; her husband Floyd previously had been hon-ored.

In 2007, E.C. Gockerell was honored for his time at the Forks Department of Natural Resources. Gene Spaulding was picked in 2008 and in 2009 Ingrid Dahlgren was the second woman to be selected and the second time the award had been presented posthumously.

Next up was Carroll Koenke. Sometimes when potential honorees are contacted that they have been chosen for this award they are really, well, less than pleased. Most don’t want any fuss or recognition. Winner Koenke said he would accept the award on one condition; he did not want to ride in the Fourth of July parade. After much con-vincing and the promise of no parade, he accepted.

Willard Morgan was honored next and last year’s winner was Dale Raben.

The Hickory Shirt award con-tinues to represent the spirit of those who have been honored before. The winners of this years award will be presented Wednesday, Oct. 8, at the WEB-PA meeting 7:30 a.m. at JT’s Sweet Stuffs.

history tALes resumes With LiFe on tAtoosh isLAnd tALk

Joanne Pickering will talk about her life on Tatoosh Island at the Clallam County His-torical Society’s History Tales lecture series at 2:30 p.m. Sun-day, Oct. 5, at the First United Methodist Church, 110 E. Sev-enth St., Port Angeles. Parking and entry to the church’s social hall are on Laurel Street.

Imagine life in 1958 without computers or cellphones and living on a tiny island bat-tered by storms and dangerous waters. The terrain is so rugged that visitors and residents must climb into a boat basket and be hoisted up or down a 90-foot cliff by a huge boom when they

want to get onto — or off of — the island.

Joanne Pickering and her husband Earl moved to Tatoosh Island after he landed a job with the U.S. Weather Bureau. They lived on the island for four years.

“At that time, the weather info from Tatoosh was extremely important to the forecast center in Seattle,” Pickering says. “Gathering weather data back then was so primitive compared to today’s technology, with radars and satellites, but it was extremely valuable for ships.”

Tatoosh Island was known as a ship graveyard and a light-house and fog bell were built in 1857. A weather station was established in 1883 with data transmitted to the forecast center in Seattle.

Pickering’s presentation will include photographs, informa-tion about the Makah Tribe which used Tatoosh as a sum-mer fishing and whaling camp, and a brief history of the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Weather Service’s activities on the island.

History Tales is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Clallam County Historical Society’s office at 360-452-2662.

The Bogachiel Garden Club will hold its annual Plant Sale and Flea Market on Saturday, Oct. 4, beginning at 9 a.m. at 631 Fifth Ave. The club also is looking for donations of plants that local gardeners may be thinning out at this time.

stop the checkpoints meetinG

The next Stop The Check-points meeting will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4, at The Museum at the Carnegie, 207 S. Lincoln St., Port Angeles.

The Topic: Defending Civil

Liberties — Stop the militari-zation of our borders, towns, and schools.

It has been six years since the founding meeting in 2008 where points of unity were voted on. Two of the four points agreed on were “Defend civil liberties!” and “No police state on the Olympic Peninsula or anywhere!” At the October meeting there will be a short presentation on the recent increases in military equipment given to local law enforcement and school districts.

Discussion will follow on how this equipment is being used to squelch civil liberties and brainstorming on what can be done to stop the militariza-tion of communities.

There also will be a report on the local People’s Climate Rally (which Stop The Checkpoints helped to organize) and the multi-issue speeches connecting the dots between climate change, food justice, money in politics, immigration, racism, poverty and other issues. Photos will be shown of the 70 people attend-ing and posing with signs on the viewing tower at City Pier.

The public is welcome to at-tend and participate. For more information, call 360-452-7534 or see www.stopthecheckpoints.com.

hAve you Found A ‘driFt cArd?’

Kinder Morgan, the largest midstream and the third largest energy company (based on combined enterprise value) in North America, is looking at a plan that would result in over 400 tankers loaded with tar sands oil traveling through the Salish Sea each year. If ap-proved, this project would put the Salish Sea at greater risk of a catastrophic oil spill.

To better understand the direction that oil might take, over 1,000 small drift cards (4-inch by 6-inch pieces of bright yellow plywood, each with a unique serial number) have

been dropped at locations of higher risk of incident along the oil tanker route that runs from Burrard Inlet, through the Gulf and San Juan Islands and out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Just like a message in a bottle, the drift cards carry a simple message: This could be oil. When the drift cards are found and reported to www.salish-seaspillmap.org, their recovery locations will help to map paths oil spills might take and how far the oil could travel.

While there are many dif-ferences between oil and drift cards, the cards are influenced by both surface ocean currents and wind, much like oil on water. By linking the drop sites to the locations where the cards are found, the card movements can be tracked, areas where they accumulate highlighted. The data collected therefore also will bring understanding of which communities, recreational sites, species and habitats could be af-fected in the event of a spill.

sept. 1While Larry and Sara stayed

focused on weighing loads for seven mules, Mike, Al and I set out to catch the hard-to-catch mule, which we never succeeded in doing. Mules hate being alone and they re-ally love their feed, so it was only a matter of time when we managed to “lead” her with a bucket of feed, back to the corral.

After considerable time try-ing horse-whispering tech-niques, which usually work on mules, we gave up and made the game change. We would take the other two mules, but leave the hard-to-catch mule behind. It turned out to be a very wise choice.

ABout muLesMules are half horse and

half donkey. Most mules have a horse mother and a donkey father, though it can be the other way around. Because most mules start out following their horse mother, they prefer a horse leader to follow. That’s why most packers lead their mules with a horse. A mule will rarely leave the horse.

People have asked us why mules were being used to bring in equipment on the chalet trip when helicopters were avail-able. The Wilderness Act of 1964 states that the agencies must use the minimum and least disturbing method of tools to carry out work in the wilderness.

In 2004, the Olympic Park

saving the chalet: Part 2

The cook tent. Submitted photo

Associates, Wilderness Watch and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility filed and won a lawsuit against Olympic National Park for its plans to utilize helicopters to fly in two replacement shelters.

Mules still are considered to be an acceptable “tool” for wil-derness shelter maintenance. Olympic National Park has its own string of around 20 mules near the Elwha Ranger Sta-tion at Whiskey Bend. Three seasonal mule packers work all summer packing tools and equipment for the park’s seasonal trail crews who keep trails open and maintained all

summer long. Some people wonder why we

pack mules instead of horses. Generally speaking, mules are tougher than horses. They rarely have soundness issues when working on steep moun-tain trails.

The more they work, the tougher they get, whereas horses often will develop tendon and ligament problems. Mules are self-preservationists and rarely stumble or fall off the trail. Three of our mules have been packing for us for over 15 years and none of them has ever been lame or unsound. Mules live longer than horses,

commonly into their late 30s. Larry’s lead horse Tramp is

a big American Quarterhorse and is a big, strong lead horse. Mules have a reputation of being “stubborn as a mule.” They really aren’t stubborn, but they are very smart and don’t want to go anywhere that they expect to have a problem. Once they’ve had a bad experience, they rarely forget it.

BAck to pAckinG up For the QuinAuLt enchAnted vALLey trip …

We use a packer scale to weigh each load. Bear-resistant pack boxes are required for food in the park. Pack boxes weigh around 70 pounds loaded. Miscellaneous gear

such as sleeping bags, pads and other bulky items are wrapped in canvas manties and tied on top with ropes. Our mules were carrying about 175 pounds each, considerably less than the average person riding a saddled horse.

However, packs are dead weight, so having packs bal-anced on the mule is very important. Scott Montgomery’s draft-type mules were carrying more than 200 pounds, mostly feed for our stock.

The Quinault trail has some steep rocky places, so ani-mals and people have to be in condition to get to the chalet. Our mules already had been on mountain trails helping us do trail maintenance earlier in the summer.

They worked incredibly hard every day, packing their own feed and ours. Not one came up lame or injured and Larry rode and packed them 15 miles all but one of the 14 days he was moving our stuff in and out. All told, mules hauled more than 5,000 pounds of gear and put over 200 miles on their shoes.

hAzArds on the trAiL:Trail riding has its hazards;

hikers and bees are often to blame. Many of the people we meet on the trail have no clue about livestock. It’s extremely difficult for a packer leading a long string of mules to back up or turn around.

The rules of trail etiquette are clear: Stock has the right-of-way. Some hikers think they can out-walk the mules and try to stay ahead instead of just

finding a good spot to get out of the way.

Some hikers approaching a string of mules will just keep coming until the packer asks them to kindly move off the trail. These might be some of the same people we see pass-ing on double-yellow lines on Highway 101. They just don’t know the danger they are caus-ing because they’ve never seen a mule train wreck.

So when we encountered our first human hazard, it was something neither we, nor our mules, had ever before wit-nessed on any trail. Two young men were carrying several long pieces of PVC pipe and walk-ing one behind the other up the trail. Larry asked them to get off to the side and said, “Don’t move until we get past.”

Just as Al’s two mules on the end were passing the hikers, one of them hiked up the PVC pipe and those two mules jumped straight up in the air, their breakaway strings snapping with a sound like a gunshot. They whirled around in the trail and charged toward Sara and me like they’d been shot out of a cannon.

It happened so fast that I don’t know how we managed to jump off our horses and grab hold of the mules. If that hard-to-catch mule would have been with us, she likely would have run past us and all the way back to the corrals. In time we had the mules tied back into the string and were heading up trail. I’m sure the hikers were astounded by what they had just witnessed and one mad grandma made sure they were educated about how to behave around animals next time.

Ground bees, otherwise known as bald-faced hornets, and yellow jackets get really cranky toward the end of sum-mer. When a string of mules comes vibrating the ground, they are usually pretty stirred up by the time the fourth or fifth mule passes and that’s when the rodeo begins. Since I’m always riding drag, I get to see the rodeos.

In this situation, the front mules already were around the hairpin turn and heading down the switchbacks. The last thing Sara and I witnessed was the end mule’s hind end going straight up in the air and the clatter of horseshoes on the rocks heading downhill. When we got to the bottom of the switchback, we found the end mules had broken loose and a few packs had to be adjusted, but no humans got stung.

We were almost halfway to

the chalet with only a few more similar encounters to come and thankfully none of those were as exciting. We learned from the next encounter of guys with PVC pipe that they were U of W students and the pipes were for measuring snow pack on the glaciers.

It would be nearly dark by the time we arrived with our first mule-load of gear.

With the help of the trail crew, we unloaded the mules, put up high-lines for stock containment, set up our wall tent, organized our pack boxes, put our kitchen sets together, set up a serv-ing table, water filter bags and started supper for the crew of nine. Most of these were park trail crew workers who had been getting the trail in prime shape for mules. The house movers would hike in on Tuesday.

Since it was so late, we decided to cook up our Bear Creek minestrone soup and add Sara’s home-raised hamburger to it. By the time dishes were done, we were all ready for a night’s rest. It was misting and foggy. If this weather lasted, the helicopters wouldn’t be able to fly and the whole proj-ect would be dead in the water.

Generous community school supplies donations


The West End is a great community that cares about its young people. Quillayute Val-ley School District was fortu-nate to receive school supplies donations for students of all grades from various entities in our community. First Federal held its annual Red Wagon collection in August. Soropti-mists of the Rain Forest also purchased bags of supplies and together delivered them to Sandy Heinrich, coordina-tor of the district’s Readiness To Learn Program just in time to help students and families struggling financially to obtain supplies requested on separate grade level lists.

The following week Prince of Peace Lutheran Church’s congregation generously donated backpacks and sup-plies to Heinrich’s program which helped meet the needs of many students at the 6-12th grade levels especially. Heinrich sent out a district e-mail to teachers with a list of donated items. Many staff

Readiness To Learn is a program supported by three Family Support Advocates: Berlinda James, Sandra Velas-quez and Sandy Heinrich. They work with students and families to help eliminate bar-riers that are preventing stu-dents from being successful in

school. They are appreciative of the generosity that is shown from its community members and service organizations.

If you are interested in do-nating school supplies to the school district, contact Sandy Heinrich at 374-6262 ext. 256.

Items in big demand are 1½-inch three-ring binders, flash drives and composition notebooks.

Pat Dowell, DVM, and her team assisted 65 families with 160 vaccine injections for their pets on Sunday, Sept. 21, in addition to taking care of a couple of emergency appointments. The event was so well received that the clinic actually ran out of rabies vaccine. Everyone was well behaved and friendly and the people were nice, too. Submitted photo

All together now, com-munal groan: “Christmas? ALREADY?” Be honest, this is not your first reminder. You were sweating in your garden when you got your first Christ-mas catalog, panting behind your lawn mower when your first assortment of holiday cards arrived from some de-serving organization.

Those not caught unaware by these first cooling days of autumn are the crafters.

Those who appliqué and make beautiful quilts, who do fine woodworking, who practice the art of preserving and make beautiful gifts for family and friends. Please, as you make beautiful things, would you think of Cherish Our Children?

Every year deserving kids in

Forks Timber Museum has new websiteNow in addition to its Facebook page, the Forks Timber Museum

Believe it Or Not … Christmas is Coming (And So Is Cherish Our Children)

LaPush and Forks get a better Christmas than they’d other-wise have, because every year volunteers work hard to put on a big auction and fish feed at the Akalat Center to raise money.

With that money they buy clothing and toys for the children. At auction the kinds of things you make – quilts, afghans, appliqué art, jew-elry, woodwork – can sell for hundreds of dollars and make a big difference in a child’s holiday.

If you’re a cook, think about donating a pie or other baked goods, gleaming jars of jelly in a pretty basket, loaves of freshly baked bread. If you

are a fisherman, please think about donating extra fish for the dinner. Think about going

on a special fishing trip just for Cherish Our Children – that’s the best excuse ever for

a day of fishing! If you are not artsy-craftsy,

but you have some nice, gen-tly handled or new items you have no use for, consider set-ting them aside for the silent auction tables.

It may feel early, but time passes quickly, especially as the holidays seem to roll up on each other – Halloween, Thanksgiving … Christmas.

Cherish Our Children is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 5, this year – almost exactly two months away.

To donate items or your own time to help out, or to find out about pick-up and drop-off of items, call Sandy Heinrich at 374-6262 ext. 256.

Quillayute Valley School District is one of five school districts across the state to receive grant funding to support new teachers. The purpose of the funding is to create a systemic program that better serves first- and second-year teachers, as well as any new teacher from out of the state.

Several years ago, the district identified the need to create a program that would better induct teachers into the community and schools. Be-cause of this planning, the district received funding last year to support its work.

The current school year serves as the first year of true implementation. Elena Velasquez, a 23-year-veteran teacher, is spearheading the program in her new role as the district’s instructional coach. She and a team of teacher leaders designed and organized a two-day New Teacher Acad-emy. Any new teacher could access the two-day training, although new teachers (as first- and second-year or new from out of the state) were required to attend. Teachers were acclimated to the district, assigned a mentor teacher, took a tour of the Forks’ greater community by bus, set up their classrooms, learned about the new Teacher Principal Evaluation Program (TPEP), as well a variety of other activities.

Superintendent Diana Reaume said, “Elena Velasquez and her team created a welcoming environment for our new staff. They specifically designed the first two days to demonstrate how important relationship building is to the climate of a classroom.”

Each new teacher also is assigned a mentor with whom they will meet frequently. New teachers also are required to attend monthly meetings. They will have an opportunity to observe master teachers throughout the year, as well as have an opportunity to be observed by their mentors.

Mentor teachers are required to attend special training by the state, as well as have an opportunity to be a part of the Teacher Roundtable meet-ings once a month.

“The whole point of the program is to provide support so that continu-ous growth occurs across all levels of teaching. We are fortunate to have the funding to put these systems in place,” said Reaume.

Quillayute Valley School District new teachers and their teacher mentors pose for a moment of fun on the new Forks intermediate School playground equipment, as they wait for the school bus to pick them up for a tour of Forks and the outlying communities during their two-day New Teacher Academy in August prior to the start of the school year.

“I see who you are,” said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.

Admittedly a very old pun. Still, it can be hard to want to volunteer to help out on a job site or on a committee, when you don’t know who anybody is. Habitat for Humanity is really in need of helpers, so we thought we’d let you know who’s already there helping.

We are your neighbors, your friends; the person who sits beside you in church or at the high school football game. All of us are local. Here are three people you may know.

If you don’t, come by and introduce yourself. If swinging a hammer and physical work is your idea of volunteering, these are the guys to ask.

The job site itself is being supervised by construction co-ordinator Connor Nielson. He owns Clear River Construction and Design.

Three days a week he works on the Habitat house, the other four days he’s an independent licensed contractor. He’s origi-nally from Idaho and came to Forks after serving in the Marine Corps.

habitat seeks volunteers

plans to stay, saying Forks suits him. In “all his spare time” (followed by a chuckle) he enjoys the same thing most of the folks out here do – fishing, hunting, surfing. He’d wel-come you on the site and will patiently teach you what you need to do to best help out.

Bob Tiemeyer has been here since 1958. After 50 years you’re considered a local, even by Forks standards. He’s a retired correctional officer who worked at OCC, which ac-counts for his gruff and humor-

Woodmizer around doing cus-tom bandsaw work for people or working on the Habitat house, he and his wife are refurbishing the old Hagadorn place out on the Quillayute – you know, Jack Tuttle’s dad’s old place – where they tend a small herd of lowline Angus, a huge garden, greenhouse, berry patch and a relatively unpro-ductive orchard.

Bill is a patient teacher, hav-ing been married to one for 42 years. He, too, would welcome more help, and says every per-son can contribute something.
