The Hoh River never has been one to play by the rules. Recently it has taken to eating away the Oil City Road near mile marker 9, leaving several residents in the area cut off. Submitted Photo. More weather related photos page 8.
Storm: mostly just
wet The storm that was predicted for last Thursday and Fri-
day was not as bad on the West End as it was anticipated to be. The fear of high winds caused Olympic National Park personnel to close Rialto Beach at a little after 1 p.m. on Thursday and also the Hoh Rain Forest.
The most significant flooding was just past Three Rivers when the Bogachiel River covered the roadway there. Sev-eral areas around Forks also saw standing water but nothing serious.
The power blinked a few times but remained on for most of the area with an outage reported for Neah Bay.
This week rain and high winds are being predicted again.

We would like to thank our many friends, family and the entire Forks Community for all the love and caring that went into supporting us during the loss of our dear husband and brother, Dean Liedtke.
For every card that was sent, contribution that was given, meal that was prepared, and helping hand that was offered we will be forever grateful.
Thank you especially to the Forks Commu-nity Hospital nurses and doctor who gave their all for Dean in trying to stabilize him and keep him here for us.
Thank you to Pastor George Williams and the Forks Bible Church congregation for all the invaluable assistance in setting up and conducting Dean’s memorial service. It has been a privilege to be a part of this close church family for the past 26 years and your love and support are a constant blessing. Dean would be very happy to know Sue con-tinues to be encouraged and blessed daily by your caring and loving ministry to her.
Dean and Sue have been very privileged to live in such a wonderful caring community as Forks. Sue continues to appreciate the many neighbors and friends that are so attentive to her daily needs and offer her the support that enables her to stay independent and live in her home.
Thank you so very much, We love you all. Sue LiedtkeTena & Brent Gagnon
THANK YOU
Happy 40th Birthday

Congratulations Coach WheelerDear Editor,Last month I was reading the online edition of the Forks
Forum. I have not seen a hard copy since I enlisted in the Coast Guard some 30 years ago. The headlines were Coach Wheeler to Coaches Hall of Fame. I read your article and immediately called the school to congratulate him.
I had to leave a message but Bob called me back. We spoke for 10 or 15 minutes, this was the first time I had spoken to him in many years.
I could not congratulate Bob enough. Mr. Wheeler was my seventh-grade English and reading teacher,
his first year in Forks. He helped a very dyslexic, adolescent boy learn to read and understand English grammar.
Then when I was in the ninth-grade, Coach Wheeler encouraged me to turn out for the wrestling team, (that year the team was short on lightweights and I barely weighed 100 pounds). Coach Wheeler took a small, skinny, farm boy that was often bullied and beat up on the playground, one who did not know how to defend himself, into a freshman varsity letter winner.
When I was a senior, Coach gave me one of the two captain’s position. It was an honor to sew the star onto my letter jacket. The team did win the league championship that year and I believe two of my team mates later became All Americans while in college.
I won more matches than I lost but in the end I was not one of his state placers. For many years I felt that my wrestling career was un-finished. But as I look back it was just high school athletics.
Coach was the first to encourage me and to help me with the self-esteem that I needed to complete basic training (as an 18-year-old young man). I then completed a 20-year career with the Coast Guard.
A few years back I was working in West Africa on an off-shore oil platform. All the instruction manuals were to be translated from French into English. I spent one month correcting the gram-mar for many of the documents. Every time I was given a new one I smiled at myself because my seventh-grade English teacher helped a dyslexic boy learn English grammar.
Thank you Mr. Wheeler for helping me learn and understand English.
Congratulations Coach Wheeler on entering the Hall of Fame. You Sir prove that good things do happen to good people.Harvey D. HoffmanMagnolia, TexasForks High, Class of 1985

Vador the weiner dog took top honors in the Halloween Pet Costume Contest held Oct. 31, outside Forks Outfitters. A dozen contestants competed for prizes and Vador’s impersonation of a hot dog was the judges’ choice for first place. Duke Rowley came in second. The contest was the senior project of Paislee Gilstrap and Alexis Leons. The contest ben-efited the Friends of Forks Animals and the girls raised $68 and a bag of dog food that was donated to FOFA.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to all who worked so hard to try and get me elected
to the Forks Community Hospital Board.
You did a wonderful job against terrible odds. I also would like to thank all those who
voted for me. We didn’t win, but we did try to

Letters TO THE Editor
Dear Editor,For those of you who do not
know me personally, I moved to Forks in 2006 with my husband when we decided to return to the community where he was born and raised. We wanted to move back to Forks to raise our son close to family and friends.
We moved to be a part of a tight-knit community, as well as to enjoy the beauti-ful Northwest. After my first year in the community, I easily recognized that Forks has a strong sense of unity, commit-ment to its people, its town and its children. The majority of the people who live here have a deep sense of commitment to
the area. One of the many things I love
about our community is the diverse thinking and ideas. I am always amazed how well our community members work side-by-side to resolve issues that specifically affect our community and especially our children.
Concerns have come to light in this community and I feel it is important to explain the (School) District’s investiga-tive processes.
The primary concern in any allegation that is brought forward against a public employee in the school is to ensure safety of the student (if the complaint involves a
student), while simultaneously providing due process for the employee.
Safety and due process both require confidentiality. We have been following the guid-ance of our District attorney closely throughout this entire situation. In this instance, confidentiality is of the utmost importance for the well-being of the student.
In my role, I am often unable to share facts due to confiden-tiality. QVSD Board members also are unable to share facts of an investigation or confi-dential situation that involves personnel. I can assure you that we follow the laws and policies that protect our stu-
dents and staff. Any allegation against an
employee warrants an investi-gation. The first step is to ac-curately gather the facts so that we can make the best decision. There are different levels of investigations.
An investigation may start at the building level with the building principal. Some al-legations that are reported go directly to the Title IX officer, who is trained in investigative practices.
This all depends on the nature of the allegation and evidence at hand. In some cases, a third party is retained by attorneys for the District through our Risk Management Pool to con-
duct an investigation. In any case, if appropriate, a report is made to the proper authorities, such as law enforcement.
In my 20 years as an admin-istrator, I have learned that no two situations are ever the same. In this situation, we ensured student safety first. We also followed the steps required for due process.
It is my sincere hope that our community members will come together and put our differences aside for the sake of our children. I know in my heart that Forks is always FOR OUR CHILDREN.
Sincerely,Diana Reaume, Superinten-
dent
The staff and students at the Intermediate School have many first-quarter touchdown celebra-tions to look back on and many more to look forward to in the months to come. Every day, the building is thriving with teach-ing and learning – and it shows.
The halls are lined with student work. Learning goals and objectives are posted daily in every classroom. Students
assume ownership of their learning. They are encouraged by their teachers to challenge themselves and take academic risks. Our teachers teach in models of differentiation; i.e., their instruction meets the needs of all students, without excep-tion.
Our English Language Arts curriculum incorporates the latest research in higher-level
The First Quarter at Forks Intermediate School
Superintendent explains the process
thinking. It offers students (and teachers) a plethora of reading and writing resources. Our new sixth-grade math curriculum is based on different learning styles and pathways to success. It is an excellent preparation for middle school math classes.
Student performance in both English Language Arts and math courses is progress-monitored through meaning-ful formative and summative assessments. Our students are well prepared for our district and state tests. We like to refer to these tests as assessments for learning. By incorporating sample test items in our every-day teaching, students get used to the language and formats of the tests, which minimizes test anxiety.
We know that reading is foun-dational for student success. Along with parents, we ad-dress the “Thirty Million Word Gap,” a huge discrepancy in vocabulary acquisition by age 3 between children of wealth and children of poverty. By working together, a high-intensity focus on reading skills and practice will help eliminate the gap and set our students up for success.
The adage “The more you read, the more you know” holds true for people of all ages; not just children.
Our classrooms brim with signs of exciting and engag-ing learning and growing. We teach and learn side by side. We do so in an environment rich with respect, integrity and commitment. In and outside the
classroom, student success is celebrated and learning oppor-tunities abound.
We have a Student Leader-ship Team that is in charge of our Olweus assemblies (i.e., anti-bullying), among other responsibilities. We are looking to launch our Parent-Teacher-Student Organization soon.
Our school consists of learn-ing communities. We all learn; we all lead; we all model; we all celebrate; we all support; we all share; we all grow; we all engage; we are all unique to-gether. We are Forks Intermedi-ate School. A safe and positive place of tolerance and inclu-sion, where futures are bright.
In educational partnership,Caspar van HaalenPrincipal

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.

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford
Every year, right before Halloween, I remind myself that I need to tell my eerie tale. Every year I forget because I have a memory similar to that of a coconut’s. I have decided to share the story this week, instead of waiting another year because I
will inevitably forget again … and also because I’ve been stuck inside my house for two weeks and have no other good column ideas as of now.
I don’t remember exactly what part of the year this all happened, but if I had to guess, I would say it was sometime between January and December. I was getting ready for bed one night. Out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw a
little girl playing in the hallway.Having two little girls myself, the obvious answer was that
I had consumed too much wine that night. Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on how you want to look at it), I was 100 percent sober. Another logical explanation would be that it was one of my girls, but they were passed out … not from drinking wine though, just from playing hard that day. I feel the need to clarify that.
I walked down the hall to further investigate (like idiots do in horror movies right before they are attacked). My husband asked what was wrong. I almost didn’t tell him because I didn’t want him to think I was crazy, but I decided to take my chances.
“I’ve seen her before,” he said very nonchalantly. “What?! Why didn’t you tell me?!” I asked him. Apparently he didn’t want me to think he was crazy.
The next morning, I called my friend/landlord to tell her. We chatted for a long time about everything else because I was nervous. Does anyone else do that? Just keep bringing up ran-dom topics to put off the topic you’re trying to get the courage to talk about? Or is it just me?
Anyway, I finally asked her, “Have any little girls ever passed away in this house?” There was a long silence and then she eventually asked why I wanted to know. I could tell by her tone that she already knew why I was asking. I told her the story and she urged me to call her mom.
As it turns out, her mom (who lived in the house before us) was once on a business trip talking to some strangers. One of the strangers asked if her daughter (then around 4 or 5) ever played with “friends” that she couldn’t see. “All the time.” She answered, assuming this was normal. The stranger then told her that her daughter was a weirdo.
Just kidding. The stranger explained that she was a psychic, that the spirit of a small girl resided in their house, and that she was harmless. Maybe the psychic was right, or maybe we’re all imagining things. I don’t know, but the whole thing gave me chicken skin for weeks.
Chicken skin is what they call goosebumps in China by the way.

If you ever get the oppor-tunity to attend the Veterans Day Assembly at the school,
I would encourage you to do so. Rhonda Cole was the master of cer-emonies and students and faculty
presented short speeches. The school band sounded amazing and musical numbers by the elementary and intermediate schools also were presented.
This year the VFW has brought back the Patriots Pen writing competition and Sarah Curtis and Sarah Adams were both presented with plaques and recognized for their sub-missions. VFW Commander Tom Hughes did the honors. Adams not only had to write her essay but also submit it in audio format. Congratulations to both of them!
For the second year, the Fletcher-Wittenborn VFW held a short ceremony at the cem-etery. Although it was short, it was no less meaningful and the sun came out just as things got under way.
If you have the opportunity to drive by the cemetery prior to Veterans Day or Memorial Day, you may have noticed the small American flags that are on display on veterans’ graves and maybe you have wondered “Who does that?”
A huge thank you to Tom and Ilene Rogers, their children, Deanna and Katie, and friends Doug Blankenship, Pete Strom, Tim and Joanna Smith, who each year take the time to place flags on the graves of veterans at the Forks and Quil-layute cemeteries.
Also making their presence felt at this year’s ceremony were American Legion mem-bers. The post is growing and now has a home of its own again as it will take over the former community center/Forest Service building at the corner of Maple and Division. Members already have been working on the roof and there
Veterans Day 2015
is work to do inside but they are excited about this new opportunity provided by the Quillayute Valley Park and Recreation District.
Many people asked why certain veterans were not included in the veterans photo pages in the Forks Forum recently. The photos that were shared were provided by fam-ily and friends and I would love more! If you would like to include your family mem-ber/friend for next year, bring your photo to the Forks Forum office to be scanned or e-mail them to [email protected]. Include their name, branch of service, years of service and any other item of interest.
A few weeks ago Merle Watson shared his gratitude with the community of Forks for their love and kindness shown to his daughter Cathy. Merle wanted to thank one more entity.
Addendum: We missed thanking the church! Cathy sat on the front bench, played her tambourine and was accepted as a member of the worship team. Many blessings, thank you all so much.
Merle and Arnita
My lights are blinking; I hope we get this paper in be-fore they go out!

DONATE UNUSED MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
Do you have a musical instrument just sitting in your basement, attic or closet? Why not give a young person the gift of a life of loving mu-sic? The Forks School music program is in need of musical instruments. Many children that would like to play can’t afford to buy or rent one. In-struments may be dropped off at the district office on Spartan Avenue or the Forks Forum office, 490 S. Forks Ave. This is a great opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life and it is a scientific fact that students that are involved in a music program do better in school.

Elks announce
state soccer shoot out winners
Sunday, Oct. 25, was a big day for the children attending the Washington State Elks Soc-cer Shoot in Mt. Vernon. Four children representing Forks Elks Lodge 2524 went to the state contest to try their luck in competing against children from eight other lodges from all over the state.
There were four age groups, with boys and girls in each group. In the girls contest Alyna Brianna Centeno placed third in the U (under) eight division, Annhelca Wells placed second in the U14 division.
In the boys contest, Jai Al-exander Leavitt-Ward placed fourth in the U10 Division and
Luis Rafael Zaragoza placed first in the U14 division.
After the contest the Mt. Vernon Elks Lodge served pizza
and ice cream to all who attend-ed. The plaques for the lodge with the most points scored went to the Port Townsend Elks
Lodge 317. Thanks to the Mt. Vernon Elks Lodge 1604 for hosting the contest and to all of the volunteers who helped.

The Perfect Dancing Shoes
By Jane Hielman
Several things to get:1. Unique Stitch fabric glue from Jo-ann Fabrics around
$3.49“Hand Master” Suede Leather Palm Gloves from your
favorite hardware store large or larger according to your foot size $3.69
Go to Goodwill, Unique Junque or Forks Thrift Store and get a pair of shoes that are comfortable and flexible.
2. Place the shoe onto the palm of the leather glove where there are no seams and draw a pen line around the shape. I point the toe of the shoe into the thumb to get the most distance without having seams or joins. Only the front half of the shoe needs to be traced or covered. The heel is the brake!
3. Cut the sole out on both gloves.4. Place the Unique Stitch around the edges of the new
suede sole and a little under the middle. 5. Stretch it into place tightly and press firmly over night
with a weight on top. 6. To clean the shoes, as they will go smooth with a danc-
ing event, you gently brush them in circles under a slow running tap with a soft wire brush. This agitates the suede and regains the slide and grip that the suede gives you.
7. Wear them when dry! Otherwise they are grippy.
Dance Class
The Rainforest Council for the Arts is sponsoring a series of free dance lessons begin-ning on Friday, Nov. 20, from 7-9 p.m. The classes will be taught by Terry and Jane Hiel-man of Clallam Bay.
The instructors are skilled and the lessons will be easy and fun for all. The Congrega-tional Church has generously offered its fellowship hall for the dance instruction.
The lessons will progress from basic waltz to other ball-room and folk dances.
Each class will include a review of the previous lesson and an introduction to a new dance.
Nov. 20 will be the first les-son of the series which will then continue in the New Year.
Partners are not required and changing partners will occur frequently.

Thank you to all who made the trek out to the Quillayute hanger to support us. We had a blast putting on the haunt again this year and hope those who had the twisted sense to walk through enjoyed being scared as much as we enjoyed scaring you! To be honest our goal was to make you jump when you hear those things that go “bump in the night,” many nights after you have left the haunt behind you.
There was a lot of work that went into this event and a much shorter amount of time to get it set up than we would have liked. With only 22 days to set it up be-fore the doors opened, the crew worked tireless hours (many of them after a full working day), and sleepless nights to build walls and set up rooms.
It seemed like those 22 days went by entirely too fast and some days we wor-ried we would not be ready. This feel-ing only made everyone work harder and push through the sleepless hours, to complete the task of the set up, on time. They were amazing and their hard work paid off. On opening night things fell into place and they were ready to go!
Throughout the three weekends the haunt was open there were just short of 700 people who walked through. Each night the actors took into consideration the reaction of the participants walk-ing through and worked hard to tweak things up here and there each night so that those brave enough to go through more than once still felt like they got their money’s worth.
There was even one night where the weather helped us out with the ambi-ance and not only poured down the

rain but graced us with thunder and lightning! Mother Nature’s symphony that night was music to our ears! What better setting for a haunted house, built in a haunted hanger, in the middle of nowhere, thunder, light-ning and rain!
Mother Nature was not the only help-ing hand we received. The Haunted House committee as well as all the ghosts, ghouls, clowns and mayhem makers want to take this time to say “THANK YOU!” to all the people who helped make this a great success. The donations and community support we received is what made it possible. With-out you we would not have been able to put on such a great event! Your support
is greatly appreciated! A special thanks to the City of Forks
for allowing us to use the hanger, Forks Old Fashioned Fourth of July for sponsoring us this year and the many businesses and people who donated to this event (not in any particular or-der): Forks Outfitters, Mark and Mary Raben, Umpqua Bank, BBG’s, Mary McCann, the Goodlance Family, Leann Castellano, Pepsi, Sysco, Franz, and Pin Print. (I hope I didn’t leave anyone out) Through your generosity we were able to accomplish this fun event!
The Rain of Terror Haunted House Committee (Phil Sifuentes, Pattie Mason, James Mason, Pat Soderlind, Jolene Price, Emma Grayce Fleck and
Hailey Casler) would like to thank all the actors and support staff that took part as well. Without all of you we never would have been able to open the doors!
Thank you (not in any particular order): Andrew Hoscher, Brandon Leask, Bobbyjoe Ashue, Cheri Tinker, Cortlynn Gimlin, Carl Overman, CJ Ashue, Chris McCray, Ervinjames Ashue, Emma Grayce Fleck, Francisco B (Paco), Hailey Casler, Immanuel Goodlance, Isaias (Tookie) Gomez, Ivan Torres, Jordan Goakey, Jose Gomez, Jennifer Durby (with Riley), Jennifer Pelikan, James Mason, Pattie Mason, Lisa Martinez, Landon Gimlin, Michael Polance, Mathew Cadriel, Mary McCann, Maggie Sifuentes, Nathan Bingham, Pat Soderlind, Pattie Mason, Riley Ray, Rickie Branham, Robbie Williams, Titus and Jessica Hurley, Vee Goodlance, William Fleck, Veronica Bos, Lauren Decker, James Leinan, Sarah and Robert Warner, Anastasia Fleck, Tina Dawkins, Ryan Howell, William and Wyatt Hulten-schmidt and Stephanie Robson. (I hope I didn’t leave anyone out.)
If in error I left someone out, please know that your contribution is greatly appreciated!! I tried really hard to re-member to thank everyone who worked so hard to help make this such a great event and I apologize if I forgot some-one. Just know that you are thanked and appreciated!
Can’t wait to see you all for another great year next year!
Many thanks,2015 Rain of Terror Haunted House

Chatting Around the Campfire
Part 2: So This is
Elk HuntingBy Duane Miles
As we continue this tale of hope for a dedicated camou-flage clad archery hunter, we are now vicariously stand-ing beside him as he awaits the pre-dawn blackness to lose its grip on the landscape around him.
A short time be-fore this moment, he had attached a bow string trigger device to his wrist followed by a thorough drenching of all his garb and gear from a spray bottle; this human odor devouring fluid from Hunter’s Specialties, Inc. is labeled as SCENT- A-WAY.
Now that all our hunter’s
offensive odors have been rendered invisible to the keen nostrils of any nearby for-est creatures, Phase 2 of his
total scent process can now be imple-mented. Reaching again into his pack, Howard now pulled out a small bottle of foul smelling fluid purported to be a powerful bull elk at-tractant.
Bending down, he sprayed a good quantity of this liquid on the toe of each boot, completely disregard-ing the words of warning clearly displayed on this bottle: DANGER: DO NOT APPLY TO YOUR BODY OR CLOTHING, YOU MAY BE ATTACKED. However, he
had to chuckle as he remem-bered the time he had placed this fluid on a friend’s boots.
On that hunt, if he had not intervened with a kill shot, an aggressive bull might have done serious harm to that hunting partner.
Though this manufacturer’s warning shows great concern for users of this product in the field, there also should be another warning attached to that bottle. This addi-tional warning should include words of caution about the repercussions of bringing those boots anywhere near a wife’s habitation.
Shortly after these prepara-tions were completed, How-
ard finally notices dawn’s early light.
When he is assured of adequate vision for safe foot placement, his hunt begins as he double-checks wind direc-tion out of habit. In reality though, Howard is not too concerned about spooking his quarry because of the bottled fluid odors exuding in all directions, even if he makes otherwise suspicious forest noises.
As our hunter stealthily approaches position X with bow in hand, he keeps his senses honed for any telltale evidence of nearby elk, be it sight, sound or olfactory. In addition, there is hope that
his hunting partner, Glenn, is doing likewise while also approaching position X from the opposite direction.
On Howard’s approach, he had proceeded along the same route as the day before, on an old logging grade. And, just as the day before, he was con-fronted when a decision when he came to the point where a well-used elk trail left that grade. On his scouting trip, he had followed that elk trail and walked right to that herd. But had they moved over-night? If so, perhaps staying with the logging grade would be the better choice.
To be continued …
Look closely at the ac-companying photo. There is something very unusual in this picture. The first person with the correct answer will earn the sum of $20. You’ll just have to catch up to me, either at the In Place res-taurant or the public library. Sorry; only one guess for each person.
May light for your feet guide you on the path of life until we meet again.

VETERANS DAY 2015 - 11/11/15
VFW Says Thank YouFor generations, the men and women of America’s
Armed Forces have demonstrated their willingness to put country before self. These men and women are patriots who served for the greater good, who don’t seek glory, recognition or personal gain.
I’d like to thank the students in Forks who celebrated these men and women at a phenomenal ceremony for Veterans Day which I was invited to attend. I am hon-ored. Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) held a ceremo-ny on the 11th day, of the 11th month, at 11 o’clock at the cemetery — Veterans Day. This was followed by a luncheon prepared by the VFW Auxiliary with the Forks basketball team setting up tables, preparing food, serving and cleaning up.
I’d like to thank the community who showed their support by attending. I am honored.
The support shown by this community for our veter-ans is awe inspiring. Veterans Day is for all Americans because we all have a role to play in protecting liberty and freedom. Service members should not have to be without the support of a grateful nation … and their actions and presence provided meaningful proof that our community appreciates the fact that the freedom we enjoy … is not free. I am honored.

Veteran Dave Williams got the ceremony started at the cemetery. Coast Guard Station Quillayute River provided the colors.
After the ceremony at the cemetery, everyone was invited back to the VFW Hall for a meal of spaghetti, garlic bread and salad, prepared and served by the FHS Boys Basketball team. Cake was served for dessert.
