Brrrr ...Accident
An accident involving three vehicles occurred Mon-day, Dec. 28, at about 7:43 a.m. at the intersection of U.S. Highway 101 and State Route 113, 10 miles east of Forks.
Tina Claussen, age 46, of Forks, was traveling east-bound on Highway 101 in a 2013 Toyota Camry, when she made a turn north onto SR113 and was struck by a 2003 Dodge Ram pickup, driven by Darrell Johnson, age 49, of Gig Harbor. Johnson was westbound.
Claussen’s vehicle came to rest in the southbound ditch and Johnson’s vehicle came to rest at the gas station at the Highway 101/SR113 junction after strik-ing a third vehicle, a 2008 Dodge Challenger that was parked at the station.
Claussen was transported to Forks Community Hos-pital, and later released, Johnson was not injured.
The Claussen and Johnson vehicles were both impounded by West End Motors. All involved were wearing seat belts. Washington Sate Patrol investi-gated the accident.
December 29 Earthquake
A 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit near Vancouver Island at about 11:39 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 29. It was about 32 miles deep, according to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network. The quake offered no threat of tsunami to the area.
A few people in the West End re-ported pets acting strangely and one person recorded unusual thumping sounds coming from the ground in her front yard, shortly after the quake hit.
It is not known if the sounds were related to the quake. No damage was reported locally.
Suspicious FireOn Jan. 1, at approximately 9:16 p.m., a
citizen driving along U.S. Highway 101 called 9-1-1 after observing smoke coming out of a residence located at 201821 Highway 101, Beaver.
Clallam County Fire District personnel and sheriff’s deputies arrived on scene a short time later.
The fire was extinguished by crews from the Forks and Beaver fire departments. Due to the efforts of the responding firefighters, the home was saved.
The residence sustained significant smoke damage.
The homeowners, long time Forks residents, were not home at the time of the fire.
Fire investigators and detectives from the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office are investigat-ing the cause of the fire which is believed to be suspicious in nature.

CHILDREN ARE SHOOTING OUT TELEPHONE INSULATORS
Youngsters have been shooting the insulators off telephone poles on the Cemetery Road, reports Deputy Sheriff Holenstein and this is putting the telephone com-pany to a good deal of unnecessary expense.
Holenstein has declared war and says that the next offenses will result in the parents of the boys being brought into court.
Autos driven by Jimy Klahn and W. E. Langworthy collided on
Throw Back Police/Court ReportForks Forum Jan. 1936
the other side of the Calawah Bridge Wednesday night in heavy fog. Holenstein attrib-uted the accident to the lack of a second headlight on one vehicle.
No one was injured but both cars are in the garage for re-pairs. Holenstein said that all cars should be equipped with proper headlights. “I am going to be more strict from now on and drivers will find it cheaper to have their lights adjusted than to face the judge,” Holen-stein said.

Letters TO THE Editor
Phillip David Borde was born June 5, 1932 in Everett, Washington, to Ernest and Ruby Borde. He died December 22, 2015, surrounded by his family.
As a young boy his family moved to Clallam Bay, Washington, where he spent his childhood and graduated from Clallam Bay High School. In Clallam Bay he developed a life-long love of fi shing and the outdoors.
Phil was a Korean War Veteran. While being treated in the Seattle Veteran’s Hospital, he met nurse Beverly Wheeler and they married in 1955. December 10, 2015 marked their 60th wedding anniversary, which they were able to celebrate together.
After Korea, Phil returned to college at the University of Washington and obtained a degree in Education. He moved his family to Forks, Washington and spent his entire 27 year teaching career at Forks Jr,/Sr. High School, teaching science and math.
During summer breaks he incorporated his love and skill as a fi sherman into a business venture by skippering a salmon charter boat. It was a family business, as Beverly wored in the charter offi ce and their three children worked on the boat as deck hands.
In retirement Phil found a volunteer opportunity that allowed him to “give back” to his life-long fi shing passion. He helped establish the Pacifi c Coast Salmon Coalition and spent many years volunteering and partnering with local hatcheries, working together to enhance fi sh habitat.
Phil is survived by his wife Beverly; children Kevin (Renee), Kim (Don) and Brian (Julie); and grandsons Andrew and Adam.
In lieu of fl owers, donations can me made to the Pacifi c Coast Salmon Coalition, 71 Spartan Ave., Forks, WA 98331 or Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, 540 E. 8th St., Port Angeles, WA 98362.

Do you ever wonder how many people visit our area? Some to recreate, some just passing through. The Forks Visitor Center, located across from the airport, asks those that stop to sign its guest book. No names, just where they are traveling from, how many in the party and if they’re stay-ing overnight in the area, are they paying for lodging. The numbers are amazing and just consider not everyone stops at the visitor center.

Helping Habitatin the New Year
Dear Editor,Happy New Year Forks,
start it off with a bang! The bang of hammers and
nails with Habitat for Hu-manity of Clallam County, building homes with afford-able mortgages for those that qualify.
Just to be clear, these are not free houses, I know because we currently are building one for my family. Based on Hab-itat’s new fair market value policy, I expect the mortgage to be around $100,000, amaz-ing for a 3-bedroom house, but a far cry from free.
Now that we have that misconception cleared up, I am here to ask for something free, your support. Your sup-port in helping Forks fami-lies build a better future for themselves, your selflessness in volunteering to help physi-cally build that future, your faith in community, and your actions in coming together to give a hand up not a handout.
I was born and raised in Forks and I’ve seen this com-munity pull together for many things, some big, some small, but it shouldn’t be difficult to find community members that would support families building and buying a safer, healthier home to live in.
This is Habitat for Human-ity’s mission and one that I believe in.
In a small town like Forks that has been hit with eco-nomic woes, and a few wows, why would you not want to help transform your neigh-
bor’s life for the better? Our community can do this and the only cost is some time and sweat.
My wife and I both work in Forks, my wife at Forks Outfitters, which has shown tremendous support for Habi-tat, and I’m a self-employed computer repairman.
We strive to exude the work and life ethics that have been instilled in us from our par-ents and this town, work hard and you’ll be rewarded, be fair, help your neighbors and they’ll help you.
We are still in need of that help, quite desperately now as the New Year has arrived. We are working against the clock to finish the inside of our home before the end of March, to remain qualified for some already applied grants.
We know that many are interested in the status of our home but are unsure of how to help. We are in need of working bodies at this stage, so please go to http://habitat-clallam.volunteerhub.com/ and sign up.
You also can call the Volun-teer Program Manager at 360-681-6780 or e-mail [email protected]
If you’re unable to sign up, swing by the construction site to say hi or see how else you can get involved.
We’re building behind the Peninsula Apartments off Calawah Way usually the later half of the week if you want to stop by.
Thank you,Shay, Kristal, Brodie and
Bianca Gooding

State shellfish managers have approved razor clam digs start-ing later this week at Long Beach and Copalis Beach.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) confirmed the digs after marine toxin tests showed the clams on those two beaches are safe to eat. All other beaches remain closed to recreational razor clam digging.
Digs at both beaches are on evening tides and include a two-day opening (Jan. 8-9) at Copalis and an eight-day dig (Jan. 7-14) at Long Beach.
“The season opener at Copalis over the Christmas holiday was a

huge success with most diggers filling their limits,” said Dan Ayres, coastal shellfish manager for WDFW. “We’re excited that we can open Long Beach for the first time this season.”
Razor clam digging will re-main closed on Washington’s other coastal beaches until domoic acid levels drop below

As some of you may recall, this is my third annual predic-tions column. If for some reason, you do not remember my previous predictions, please get your “Christy’s Columns”
scrapbook out and flip through until you find them. Upon your refresher course, you will notice that I have a stellar record of being 100 percent wrong in every single prediction I’ve ever made. However, I am certain that this year, things will be generally the same. With-out further ado:
After publishing a book titled, “The Funny Thing About Epilepsy” late in
2015, in which the entire introduction discusses my prediction that people will tell me that epilepsy isn’t funny, someone will immediately comment on the first day of 2016 that, “There is nothing funny about epilepsy. The author obviously doesn’t have it.” That actually already happened, which means that two of my predictions already have come true. Psychic Net-work, here I come!
Sometime in the first part of the year, the WSDOT will come up with a plan to encourage more awareness and usage of the complimentary pull-off spots around the lake. They will offer free Wi-Fi in these strange areas. This plan will be a great success and the days of 27 cars in a line behind one guy/gal going 15 mph (and breaking every 10 feet) will temporarily come to an end. Unfortunately, in keeping with the traditional governmental (surprisingly a real word) way of messing ev-erything up, the state will start requiring permits very expen-sive to pull off into these areas.
Early spring will bring much rain to our area. Mid- and late spring also will bring much rain. I know, this prediction seems way out there, but just have a little faith in my psychic powers.
Also in spring, Christi and I will donate one date with both of us to the scholarship auction. Sadly, no one will bid on this donation because there isn’t a single person in this town not related to at least one of us. This will be just as well because we’re both married and dating outside the marriage is gener-ally frowned upon.
Sometime in the summer months (hopefully very early into the tourist season), a “How-To” sign will be placed on the emergency blinking light. Basically it will just say, “THERE’S A GOOD CHANCE YOU DON’T NEED TO STOP HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!” Road rage among locals will drastically drop.
In July, the Fourth of July Committee will bring back the beloved dunk tank for the festivities … OK, maybe that one is just wishful thinking on my end. Bring back the dunk tank!!!!
During the fall, the “Welcome to Forks” sign will add the following statement, “Home of Christy Rasmussen-Ford.” This will bring a lot of people to our area in an attempt to find out who the heck Christy Rasmussen-Ford is.
In a strange turn of events, near the end of the year, a Spar-tan football game will be heard on a local radio station. They will be playing Neah Bay.
All in all, 2016 is going to be a great year for our little town. Happy New Year everyone!!!
As always, for my personalized psychic services (or for free questions or comments) please send credit card information to [email protected].
OpiniOnTHE REAL FORKS
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. Forks Ave. All letters must have a name, address and telephone number for verification purposes. Only the writer’s name and hometown are printed in the newspaper.

2016 Predictions
By Christi Baron
With modern technology we can do so many things. We can get online pay bills, order things, learn about things. So last week-end when I needed to replace my non-working remote for my satellite TV, how hard can it be? I will just get online and order it.
I will start by saying I have been a customer of my satellite TV provider for 20 years, yes, this year is our 20th anniversary, and according to the anniversary gift exchange list we should be gifting each other china. It has been a happy union and you may not believe this but we have never even had a fight.
So I go to get online to do this task, because in the past I have done the automated phone woman and she has had a hard time coming up with the option that I needed, so to the website I go. I have been to the website many times, so I know my way around.
I get to my log-in page and see my long-time satellite TV provider has been purchased by another company since the last time I used its website. At this point I was not too worried. I type in my user name and
password. No, it tells me, I am wrong … I can’t be wrong — I have not changed anything. After several tries, the new company tells me I am locked
out! So would I like to get a new password, well yes, I would. Af-ter trying this several times and checking my e-mail, I have not received a way to change my password.
Then a box pops up and asks me would
I like to chat … yes, I love to chat! I go to type in the box and it tells me I need a pass-word! OK, it then asks for my account number. I figured this should work. I get my state-ments via e-mail so I go find an invoice, copy the account number, paste it in the box, hit enter and … it tells me there is no such account number. Later this afternoon I am going to call my new satellite TV provider and tell them I want a divorce.
Then again, maybe we can work things out, it has been 20 years.
OTHER THINGS …On Christmas Eve morning
things were pretty quiet in the ole Forks Forum office. The phone rang and I could hardly hear the person, it sounded like
Technology … making life … easier?
they had a cold. The man on the phone said it was Christ-mas Eve and he was think-ing about his dearly departed mother and he wanted to share a story with someone … and he got me. He told me in 1908 his grandfather had a home-stead on the Dickey River. His mother was 10 years old at the time and on this day those many years ago she had walked through the woods, four miles, to attend a Christmas party at the home of Mina Smith. Mina had played the organ and the children had opened gifts and his mother received a pair of boots for Christmas. Thank you to Paul Weekley of Alma, W.Va, for calling to share that story.
AND THE LAST WORD ON BABY JESUS …
A Forks Forum reader, who wishes to remain anonymous, called to say that they would donate the wood to make a new Nativity Scene to be displayed at the Church of the Nazarene.
Stay tuned …

Spartan girls Basketball Player of the Week On Dec. 29, the Spartan
wrestling team attended the Rock Tournament at Vashon, and in case you were wonder-ing … it is called the Rock Tournament because all the awards are gold-painted rocks.
“We had no one entered in the tournament at 113, 126, 132, 220 and 285. After the Christmas break we should be able to fill most of the empty spots which should make us a very good dual match team for our league matches that will begin in January,” Coach Robert Wheeler said.
He added, “Hopefully, this tournament gets the kids to understand the potential in this group.”
“As a group, I think this was their poorest showing of the year, yet they still placed
Spartans at the Rock
second in a perennially tough tournament. I am hoping that this will help them understand their potential and give them incentive to really start work-ing toward that potential.”

The Spartan Wrestlers competed in the Bremerton Holiday Brawl on Jan. 2. The team took first place.
Coach Robert Wheeler said, “We had a couple of our usual varsity wrestlers out, but had good performances from those who were filling in or who moved up a weight to help out the team. This tournament was a real improvement in bottom wrestling over Tuesday’s wrestling in Vashon. I was quite happy with the way that most everyone wrestled. Now we need to get everyone together where they belong for a tough week next week when we start our league duals with Aberdeen and Montesano on Wednes-day. We also have the very tough Gut Check Tournament in Silverdale on Friday and Saturday.”

The Bremerton Brawl
By Christy Rasmussen-Ford
For the first 26 years of my life, I was seriously intent on becoming a lawyer. In a weird series of events though, life took a sharp left turn. Humor writing is my passion now, but what a weird road it was to get here.
It started with running into a former teacher. He introduced me to his wife and said, “I always thought Christy would have made an excellent stand-up comedian.” Very literally, I assumed that he had been drinking his infamous coffee … if you know who I’m talk-ing about.
Shortly after that, I saw an-other person from my past who also mentioned how funny that he always thought I was. “I’m funny?” I thought to myself. “How am I just now learning
So I Wrote a Bookthis?” Sure, I crack myself up on an hourly basis, but other people find me funny too?
Around that same time, my oldest daughter started talk-ing. If you have never talked to that girl, you need to because I cannot possibly explain how her random, outside the box, hilarious mind works in a short column. Regardless, someone who knew her suggested that I start writing about her. I ended up writing a successful humor blog titled “Worst Mother of the Year” for years (until CPS ruined it), which paved the way for a lot of other small humor writing jobs.
In May 2013, I got my own humor column in this very paper thanks to the lovely edi-tor at the time, Mark Couhig. A few months into my column, I asked another editor for advice on how to go big with humor
writing. He suggested writing a book.
I started working on one immediately. Then, I started another book. Then another. I never finished any of them, partially because I work a lot already, but mostly because I was/am very scared. Being broke and out of work for six weeks does amazing things for people though and so I finally finished a book … and pub-lished it … in an attempt to pay some bills.
My first book, “The Funny Thing About Epilepsy” is for sale on Amazon now. I decided to make some money off my disorder, while also lightheart-edly educating those not fa-miliar with epilepsy. I’ve done the math and if I sell 3,434,655 books, I should recoup the amount I’ve spent on seizure medicine.
So, here’s an excerpt to entice you into buying a copy (remember, I need to sell 3,434,655):
“We quickly ripped off my
pants, which would be a really good line for a different kind of book. With no pants on, the mystery was solved. The burn was discovered.
“Where the heck did that
come from?” The doctor asked while he began treatment.
Still a wee bit foggy from the seizure, I could not immedi-ately give him an answer, but soon I came to the conclusion that it was probably from the hot cooking pan. My theory was quickly confirmed by someone who was with me during the seizure.
The burn ended up being
classified as a second degree burn. It resulted in my first (but not last) scar. As they say, chicks dig scars. That doesn’t really benefit me unfortunate-ly, but I do have a really cool story to go along with it. So that’s good.
But please, let this be a
lesson to everyone out there. Those with epilepsy should never, ever cook anything beyond toast and toast is re-ally pushing it. Cooking is far too dangerous for those with epilepsy.
That’s what I try to tell my
husband anyway …”

True Color Seeing Through
My Finger: Part 3Einstein’s Gravity
By Chiggers StokesSpecial to the Forks Forum
In coming into life, gravity is one of the first forces we come to respect. As we take our first steps, it is gravity that brings our rears to Earth before our par-ents’ hands find need to spank them … or they become pierced by outrageous fortune. Gravity, we conclude at a ten-der age, makes for falls which makes for owey! We survive our falls and learn to carry loads and if we stumble and fall under the load, we have momentum and learn to fear a crushing load. Gravity is one of our most primal fears.
With Special Relativ-ity (reference points moving at near light speed) Albert Einstein opened the door to an argument that the Earth does not rotate around the sun. As easily said is the universe revolves around the Earth. The math is harder, but still works, claims Stephen Hawking a century later. In 1915, Gen-eral Relativity Albert Einstein tore the roof off the school model of an Earth orbiting the sun. Another casualty of General Relativity is the right to believe that the sun exerts attraction to the Earth.
Even though, on Earth the oceans appear to swell with attraction to the moon and, even from the sun one astro-nomical unit (about 93,000 miles) away. For a hundred years we have known that
gravity is not a force acting on two separated objects but acting on the space/time in between. Einstein’s model of
Earth and Sun is that they travel parallel to one another with space/time collapsing under the weight of the sun.
Meanwhile, back at our reference point, the gravity of Earth is bending the space/
time beneath our feet. It’s not the same thing as the Earth attracting our weight.
How much does the Earth weigh, anyway? Special Rela-tivity gives us the easy answer. Step onto the scale. Put a scale between the Earth and a reference point and that’s your answer of how much Earth weighs. How much the world weighs depends entirely on which of us fatties are weighing in. Put a scale be-tween two earths and you are measuring two gravitational fields, not one. Step between them and it is not insufferable weight but a state of heavy deflation. Acceleration is the same as space/time deflation ergo, GRAVITY AND AC-CELERATION ARE OPPO-SITE ENDS OF THE SAME FORCE! As humans, we perceive gravity as a condition of matter and acceleration as the effect of external force, ef-fecting increased velocity.
Please put on your chigog-gles to see yourself on an el-evator that is about to be pow-er-dropped down a deep and docked rocket ship on Earth.
It drops faster and faster until it accelerates to the rate of 31 feet per second/second. If the floor keeps accelerating, in its descent you will be weight-less, in free fall, with the floor falling away from you. If the elevator senses free-fall and, maintains speed but stops accelerating you will immedi-ately go from free fall to one G (Earth gravitational unit) like stepping off a 1-inch stair. But if the floor continues to accelerate downward, gong 31 feet faster every second, you will find that you can bounce around in the elevator just like the astronauts in space.
Now use your chigoggles to zoom back and you see that this extremely deep elevator shaft is located in a big rocket-ship and while you’re bounc-ing off the ceiling and floor in the elevator it’s three, two, one, LIFTOFF! So back in the elevator which is falling faster and faster, we start to experi-ence gravity as the rocket-ship lifts off.
Regardless of velocity, when the ship reaches a state of acceleration of 31 feet per sec-ond/second, the ride in the el-evator is over and even though the elevator has been in free fall for some time now, you are experiencing one G. But better lie down on the floor, because even though you’re in free fall, your arms and legs will weigh like lead.
To escape the gravitational field of Earth, every inter-planetary spaceship (not the orbiting International Space Station) has to reach an escape velocity of 25,020 miles per hour.
Here’s another fun experi-ment that we can try with our chigoggles that has been veri-fied by plenty of laboratory experience in my ex-wife’s kitchen. Place a bowling ball on top of a 31-foot ladder and use the Magnification lens of the goggles to find a subatomic proton. (See Seeing
Through Part 1) Chop and mince proton into fine pieces (a number with 20 zeros in it.)
Use your precision chigog-gles Stop Watch feature to measure how long it takes light traveling at 186,000 miles a second to race across one of those tiny kernels of time/space. Now you’re cook-ing with Plank Time! At that scale, a clock on the bowling ball up the ladder is running slower than the clock on the ground. Push the ladder out of the way and hit the Einstein View on your chigoggles.
The ball does not come down. The time/space in between the bowling ball and whatever floor you’re using for a laboratory deflates. If you look at the view of the falling bowling ball through your Plank Time feature you will see that it gets more and more in synch with Earth time until the bowling ball crashes through the floor of your laboratory, in the violence of collapsing time/space … and who is going to clean up this mess? I wasn’t even supposed to cut up protons in here.
Relativity says that there will be consequence for sharing simultaneity when two rapidly shifting reference points try to occupy the same moment on the clock. When we drive we are exercising intention to avoid simultaneity with pedestrians and other motor-ist. If our chigoggles tell us we are on a collision course with another reference point traveling at right angels to us, we can speed up or slow down to avoid the event of simul-taneity. We are using human intention to bend time/space. If the chigoggles tell us what Plank Time is on the wrist of the other reference point we can shut our eyes and use just our watches to avoid collision. Just don’t let it be the same time on both watches. That’s when the bowling ball goes through the floor boards.
Einstein’s view of Relativity leads to a vision in physics where so-called REALITY was divided into four realms of force. The domain of we-the-living is the realm of Elec-tromagnetism. Two powerful sister realms to Electromag-netism are the Weak Nuclear Force, which bind electrons to nucleus, and the Strong Nuclear Force, binding proton to neutron. Our human forays into these realms have led to terrible weapons of mass destruction. Albert Einstein realized that Relativity could wander this road. Though he was a pacifist all his life, he wrote President FDR of this inevitability of Relativity. He spent part of his life regret-ting the Pandora’s Box that Relativity had sprung upon the planet with the advent of Atomic Age.
The two BIG sister Atomic realms, Weak and Strong, could wipe out all life as we know it in the realm of Electromagnetism. But these realms could be reconciled in one theory and what equated in one realm crossed currency with the other realms. But not so with the step sister of Gravity. The weakest realm, Gravity, has refused to honor the math of the other realms. Einstein spent most of his life trying to unify the realms under one throne of equa-tions.Though String Theory may finally unite the four realms under one mathemati-cal crown, Albert Einstein was never able to do so.
Our first fear in life is Grav-ity. We fall down. We learn to walk. We fall, we walk better and avoid cliffs. As children we pick up a nail with a toy magnet. Many of us go to our deaths without realizing there was a contest over what realm would have that nail. In our realm of Electromagnetism, a kid’s toy wrestled a nail from the grasp of an entire planet called Earth.

claiming to be with the IRS. The caller tells the consumer he owes taxes to the govern-ment and will be thrown in jail unless he pays. The IRS says they never call people who owe money; instead, they notify debtors via mail.
2. DEBT COLLECTIONS. Fake collection agencies
call and claim consumers owe credit card debt. They try to gather personal information
such as Social Security and bank account numbers.
3. IMPOSTER SCAM. Like the IRS scam, fraud-
sters pose as a federal agent or law enforcement and then contact unsuspecting con-sumers to try to obtain their personal information. If the scammers succeed, they’re able to steal identities and commit fraud.
4. GOVERNMENT GRANT. Bogus government staffers
call to inform consumers they have qualified for a grant, but processing fees must be paid in advance via wire transfer to receive the funds.
5. TECH SUPPORT.Scammers tell consumers
their computers have been hacked and they need to gain access in order to fix it. The scammers end up download-
ing malware or stealing personal information.
Nationally, BBB Scam Tracker also reported the IRS scam at the top. Phony debt collectors, sweepstakes, tech support and the govern-ment grant scam rounded off the top five. For a complete list visit www.bbb.org/top-10scams.

Going off the Grid Part 3:
You Betcha ...By Jaymi Goetze
As long as you don’t count the generator giving out, the deep cycle batteries being over charged to the point of almost killing them, the water pres-sure dropping and the system freezing completely solid, the pile of dishes that looked like a middle school science project, the two cords of wet firewood we purchased for whatever reason and the 24-volt chest fridge that crapped out on us, we are totally, 100 percent fine. Everything is go-ing just as planned.
Just to clarify, we have a generator because we are not complete idiots. The shortest days of the month are upon us, we live in the rain forest and we are not going to let our solar supply cut out on us around dinner time. The generator took a dive for two reasons;
1. I’m blaming field mice and 2. It was 12 years old. We bought a new one but only have used it twice.
I also should clarify why we bought firewood instead
of just chopping down a tree. We did, it just isn’t seasoned yet. It was poor planning on our part. I am certain that next year we will have it “all” together, hopefully.
Since our water level is below the pump and is frozen anyway, we can’t use it. The pile of dishes got clean by heating up our rain water we save in our water barrels. Phil was a doll and did them. My brother Tanner and his other half, Alajiah, let us shower at their homes. I’m very thankful for them.
We started a trail to the first cabin (we have two) but only got that far because the girls got cold. We went inside to heat ourselves in front of the fireplace and eat some vegetarian shepherd’s pie. Did I mention I live with a vegetarian and a borderline vegetarian? Alright, one is a pescatarian (fish and shrimp but no other meat) and the other one I can still force to eat chicken.
Since the sun has been out, we found the energy to lay down some tarps and card-
all the work that needs to be done out here. The chicken coop is calling my name. I’m going to make it my … well, you know (I’m trying to stay classy at this point).
We came up with a solid plan for the big fenced area where all of our fruit trees are. Potato and strawberry towers are getting ready to go up; the second greenhouse also is ready to be put up. All the extra windows and lumber under our house will more than likely turn into a third greenhouse. The planning is pretty fun; we stayed up for a couple hours last night talk-ing about rows of beans and patty pan squash (I’m deter-mined to grown them). It’s
going to be wonderful. The sun is out and it’s doing
its job! I wake up; the Tri-Star Solar System Controller is telling me we have 24-25 volts. Around 10:30 in the morning, the solar panels are charging at 9.3 amps! Those amps jack our voltage up to 29! It’s really incredible to see the sun work for us! It makes me want to run every light in the house at once! But I don’t.
Back to the cabins, I am pretty sure I’m going to use my creative skills to make the smaller one an incredible place for the girls to play. Maybe we will build the net-work of tree-houses around it. I love homesteading.

Editor’s note — In 1936, W.F. Taylor was interviewed about his business at Mora and his recollection of the windstorm that hit the West End on Jan. 29, 1921.
W.F. Taylor, of Mora, was born in Tennessee in 1862, and lived there until he was grown. He spent some years in South Dakota and Montana before coming west to Seattle in 1897. The following year he bought the store at Mora and for a number of years en-joyed a large business supply-ing the needs of settlers along the Quillayute, Calawah and Bogachiel rivers.
His stock, obtained princi-pally in Seattle, was shipped by small steamers to the mouth of the Quillayute where Mr. Taylor’s store was located. Many of the settlers living far back in the inland, because of the difficulty of making their shopping trips to Mora, bought supplies in what today would seem very large quantities.
A bill of goods including such quantities as the follow-ing was not uncommon:
5 barrels whole wheat flour5 barrels white flour500 pounds sugar150 pounds coffee200 pounds salt10 cases tomatoes (240
cans)20 yards denim50 yard calico25 pounds chewing tobacco25 pounds smoking tobaccoThis supply was estimated
to last six months. Trade was brisk because stores were few and far apart, and at that time every quarter section of land had a settler. But business decreased as the settlers, dis-
History from the pages of the Forks Forum
Windstorm of 1921 is recalled by W.F. Taylor
couraged by the immense job of clearing, either deserted their claims or sold out to the big timber concerns which sought all available timber land for logging. The great wind storm of 1921 drove hundreds of settlers away, for in many places every stand-ing tree was blown down and the land then had no real value.
Of the great wind storm of 1921, Mr. Taylor had a clear and vivid recollection. On that January day, with a mild winter temperature, Taylor and his son were engaged in building a shed across the road from the store.
About mid-afternoon the atmosphere grew very heavy and a strange darkness fell over all. From the ocean sprang a cold wind, and the wind and darkness combined to caused the men to cease their work. They returned to the store and started a fire in the big stove and stood around it, discussing the
impending storm.A little later the storm
struck. It became pitch dark: rain fell in torrents and the wind was very strong. Sud-den gusts bellied in the back of the store and water entered through cracks between the boards as if thrown by buck-ets. The men could hear sheds in being blown down, but dared not leave their shelter.
Outside they could see nothing, the darkness was impenetrable. But a terrifying roar told of the falling trees all around. By the middle of the night the storm had passed. In the darkness they could not see what damage had been done, though they were compelled to crawl over many fallen trees on their way home.
The next morning there was desolation everywhere. As far as the eye could see, where the day before had been covered with great trees, some 250 feet tall, not a tree was standing. The forest was a mass of twisted, torn wreck-age, the streams choked.
Strangely, few buildings were greatly damaged. A truck driver who had left the store sometime before the storm broke had got half way home when a tree blew down and blocked the road ahead. With some difficulty he got turned around to start back for Mora but another tree blocked the return. So he went on foot.
The next day he returned to his truck and found it com-pletely hemmed in on all sides by trees, none of which had fallen on the truck. It was 10 days before the road was cleared and the truck brought out.
Taylor felt the storm came ashore near Aberdeen, fol-lowed along the Pacific coast to Cape Flattery and jumped across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Vancouver Island, laying waste to timber in one great swath.
In 1936, at the time of the Forks Forum interview, Mr. Taylor, with his wife and daughter, lived at Mora as well as his son and his fam-ily. He spent his winters in Arizona where he had a silver mining claim.

Dog Spa to OpenAleshea Truckenmiller said she saw a need and decided to
do something about it. Truckenmiller is opening Aleshea’s Pet Spa/Dog Groom-
ing at 130 S. Forks Ave., in the Almar Building. The block already is home to two barbershops and a hair
salon, so why not a little pampering for your best friend?For now Truckenmiller is open by appointment, but says
she is already busier then when she opened a similar busi-ness in Port Angeles.
The grooming area features a hydraulic tub and grooming table and it is her hope to eventually add some retail items.
Truckenmiller is a graduate of a Washington State groom-ing school and has 20 years experience.
She also is accompanied at work by her best friend a papillon named Blue.
Her phone number is 360-460-5196. Photo Christi Baron
Pete Millsap stopped by the Forks Forum office Mon-day with this newspaper clipping. He was remembering his good friend James Daniel Hobucket, front row, second from left, who died Nov. 20, 2015, at the age of 71.
Hobucket was born in LaPush on Feb. 8, 1944. He graduated from Indian School in Oklahoma then served in the Army in Viet-nam. He was a member of the Forks and Port Angeles VFWs and a member of the Quileute Warriors. Hobucket’s obituary had not appeared in the Forks Forum and Pete wanted to acknowledge his passing.
Of the old clipping Pete said, “You know, not many of us still left in that photo.”
