CLALLAM BAY — The mother of a correctional officer who was severely hurt in an attack by an inmate, and the union that represents him, questions if conditions at the Clallam Bay Corrections Center are sufficient to protect officers’ safety.

“There are things that need to be fixed before someone else is hurt,” said Joanne Spaulding, the mother of Officer Terry Breedlove.

Breedlove, 51, of Forks, remained, Monday morning, in Forks Commu-nity Hospital under treatment for head wounds inflicted the morning of Jan. 25, at the prison where he has worked for nine years.

Teamsters Local 117, which represents union members at state prisons, is “looking into reports that safety issues in Officer Breedlove’s unit were not properly ad-dressed,” said Michelle Woodrow, presi-dent and director of corrections and law enforcement for Teamsters Local 117, in a written statement received Saturday.

On Friday, representatives of the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office and state Depart-ment of Corrections said the investigation is continuing.

The 900-inmate prison remained in lock-down status through the weekend accord-ing to prison Superintendent Ron Haynes.

OFFICER BEATENBreedlove was

on duty Monday morning, Jan. 25, in a medium-se-curity portion of the prison when inmate Abdinjib Ibraham, 28, of King County, who had pried a round metal seat off a stool, repeatedly hit the officer over the head with it, said Deputy Ed Anderson, the in-

terim West End supervisor for the Sheriff’s Office, who is in charge of the criminal investigation.

The attack took place in an area where security cameras were not working, ac-cording to investigators.

No correctional officers witnessed the assault. Inmates put a stop to it.

The cameras are now operational, An-derson said Friday, a statement Haynes confirmed.

‘TROUBLING QUESTIONS’The attack “raises troubling questions

about whether the (state Department of Corrections) is doing everything it can to protect the safety and security of prison staff,” Woodrow said.

“Clearly, the video equipment that could have recorded the incident was defective and should have been repaired.”

Spaulding said she is grateful for Haynes’ support after the attack, especially his assign-ment of a guard at her son’s hospital bedside, as well as for an outpouring of offers of help from other prison staff members.

“The whole prison system has been great,” she said.

TALKED TO GOVERNORHowever, she has questions, questions

she said she relayed to Gov. Jay Inslee when he called Friday to offer his con-dolences.

“Why was he alone if the cameras are not working?” Spaulding asked.

She also wants to know how was it pos-sible for an inmate to pry off the head of a metal stool.

The stool seat, which was attached to a metal pipe, is “not something that you can just rip apart,” said Brian King, chief criminal deputy with the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office.

“These are designed not to be removed,” King said. “It was something that would have to occur over time. How that oc-curred I don’t know. It’s certainly part of the investigation,” he said, adding that inmates can employ “a lot of ingenuity” in obtaining weapons.

Haynes said that prison staff is “working on hardening the area.”

Questions arise in wake of attack on Clallam Bay

correctional officer

INVESTIGATIONSSpaulding said she asked the governor

to investigate.Jaime Smith, director of media relations

in the governor’s office, said Friday the office is not conducting a review separate from the critical incident review underway by the Department of Corrections.

That review will entail “details of the incident, background and enhancements that can be in place at the facility or opera-tionalized,” said Jeremy Barclay, commu-nications director for the state corrections department.

“We touch on all aspects of the incident,” he said. “We look holistically at the situ-ation.”

The criminal investigation by the Clal-lam County Sheriff’s Office is expected to take as much as another two weeks before charges are recommended to the county prosecuting attorney’s office, King said.

Anderson said Friday he didn’t know how the stool seat had been pried off.

“We’ve got more interviews that we need to do at the prison. There’s a lot more we need to do before we’re ready to finalize the case,” he said.

BREEDLOVE’S CONDITIONBreedlove continues to suffer from head

pain, dizziness and memory loss, his mother said, adding that he had 17 staples in his head, 14 stitches above his right eye, and that he underwent an MRI test Saturday morning.

He has recovered some of his memory but recalls nothing about the attack, An-derson said.

“It’s a terrible thing that happened,” Haynes said. “He’s a good officer.”

GRATEFUL TO INMATESSpaulding said she is grateful to the in-

mates who helped her son.One inmate intervened while others noti-

fied prison officers of the attack, she said.She said the inmate who stopped the as-

sault also stayed with her son.“He held his head out of the blood,” she

said. “I thank God for him.”Breedlove is her oldest son of four chil-

dren. He has two adult children and one grandchild and is presently unmarried.

He will turn 52 in March, she said, and takes photographs for Calm Waters , which offers out-ings to wounded veterans.

Her son “treats inmates with re-spect; he treats staff with respect. I think that’s why the inmate inter-vened,” Spauld-ing said.

“If that prisoner hadn’t stepped in, my son would be dead,” she said.

“My whole fam-ily owes him our gratitude.”

On Saturday, at Forks Community Hospital, Breedlove had 17 staples and 14 stitches removed from his healing wounds. Submitted photo

West End Homeless Count

Dear Editor,Thank-you to all who made our

Homeless connection project a success. Forks Abuse, Seren-ity House, Sarge’s Place and Concerned Citizens all came to-gether to do the statewide count of homeless people in the West End of Clallam County.

We counted only 27 people who were brave enough to come in and be counted, 11 of those were children, there are many that we probably missed. They all got free soup and sandwiches and many coats and clothes that were donated by the generous people of Forks.

Umpqua Bank donated donuts for the morning. It was an in-credible experience to hear the stories and to learn about how people became homeless or if they were living in sub-grade conditions and what happened to change their lives.

If you know of people who are homeless, living in their car, living on a limited income, liv-ing in sub-grade housing, please send them to one of the agencies listed above.

Linda MiddletonConcerned Citizens executive director

Thank You ForksNicole Schostak Realing, her

husband Carl, family and friends would like to say thank you. So many wonderful people helped our committee make her Spa-ghetti Dinner Fundraiser and Silent Auction a huge success, thanks to all of you that helped in any way.

We Thank You! Words cannot express how generous our local

Forks Elks Lodge #2524, their members and our Big Hearted Community is, you did it again, helping a family in need.

Forks Elks Lodge donated the use of its building, this is what they are about, volunteering and so much more, to help those in need. Our community is so lucky to have this organization.

Nicole and Carl really wanted to express that they are so grate-ful and wanted to attend and thank everyone in person for their support but needed to be with Carl’s dad in Spokane who is hospitalized. Nicole said she needed to support her husband Carl, who has been supporting her through her recovery.

Thanks to our generous big hearted community we raised approximately $3,200. Nicole and Carl are hoping to be home soon. We are truly blessed to be a close-knit community, a small community that has a heart of gold and we are so proud to be from Forks, a small town that cares so much to take care of one of our own. Thank You Forks and surrounding communities.

Enjoyed Stokes’ MLK Column

Dear Editor:I enjoyed Chigger Stokes’ very

informative recent guest column on the importance of Martin Luther King and the struggle of his fellow blacks in their pursuit of equality. If I were a history teacher, he would be welcome to speak to my classes at any time on the same subject.

One wonders why his school did not offer the same class to the all of the students, but I sup-pose we are just not comfortable with revealing our “skeletons in the closet.”

I don’t recall hearing MLK’s speech on the mall, but I did share Stokes’ emotion when I witnessed the outpouring of joy on the eve of President Obama’s election, when he spoke to a crowd of 100,000 in Chicago. I was proud of how far my country had come since the days of slav-

ery. I’ve often wondered since how the ghosts of former slave-owning presidents, were they to exist in the White House, would have received this black presi-dent. And I have sympathized with him as he was vilified by his opponents relentlessly since then, often with racial overtones.

I cannot confirm that there were 30,000 graves of Union dead when Lincoln delivered his famous two-minute address at the Gettysburg cemetery. Wikipedia lists the casualties as Union dead, about 3,500; Confederate dead,as over 4,000, many resulting from Pickett’s disastrous charge; wounded, over 30,000; and missing, about 10,000. I suppose we can substi-tute “unidentified” for missing, and “wounded” often meant the death sentence.

On reflection I wonder whether anyone has ever challenged Lincoln’s assertion that our forefathers “brought forth” a new nation in 1776. How do you suppose General Washington would have reacted if confronted at Valley Forge by a reporter who congratulated him on the found-ing of a new nation, while in the background his ill-fed, ill-clad, freezing men struggled just to stay alive, those who hadn’t deserted, that is. The starving co-lonial prisoners aboard the fetid, disease-ridden British prison ships in New York harbor would have asked, “What nation?”

During the 13 years between the Declaration of Independence and the adoption of the Con-stitution, the colonial rebellion against the military superpower of that time, was on the verge of collapse. The Articles of Con-federation established a loose ar-rangement of semi-autonomous “states” similar to the Confeder-ate States of America that could hardly be described as “united.” They were not united until 1789 when George Washington became the first president of the United States of America.

One is also justified in claim-ing that slavery was the main is-sue leading to secession and the Civil War. At the core of the new Republican party of the 1850s were the abolitionists. When Republicans won the White House and elected Lincoln in

1860, the southern firebrands could see the handwriting on the wall. They were about to lose control of Congress and their cause was doomed despite Lincoln’s assurances to the con-trary. Despite the Dred Scott de-cision that slaves were property and could never be free, coming from a majority of slave-owning justices, and the fugitive slave law, they knew the North would never cooperate. When it be-came clear that Lincoln was serious about sending troops into the South, any hopes for compromise were dashed. The wealth of the South was tied up in its 4 million slaves, nearly a third of its total population.

My best friend here is a fellow from Tennessee, a modern-day rebel to the core. We’ve had friendly debates about the war on many occasions. His feel-ings about Lincoln are similar to those of Truman’s mother and her mother: extremely antago-nistic. Nevertheless my friend is an expert on the war and can provide all the details of the major battles, so I have learned a great deal about the war and the antebellum period from him. In order not take any more space, I’ll just mention a few of the least known events for any of your readers who might be interested in searching for more information on the Internet:

• The “Sultana” disaster on the Mississippi River involving survivors of the notorious An-dersonville prison.

• The Battle of the Crater dur-ing the siege of Petersburg, a suburb of Richmond, the Con-federate capital.

• The practice of “parole” in-volving hundreds of thousands of prisoners during the war.

• Figures on the numbers of blacks who served with Union forces and also served with their masters on the rebel side

• The Battle of Franklin, Tenn., in which more Southern generals became casualties than in any other battle.

• The use of anesthetics during amputations and subsequent ad-dictions (difficult to find.)

• The cataclysmic New Madrid earthquake of 1812 that forced the Mississippi to reverse course for a while.

It is probably understandable that U.S. history texts are some-what bland and sanitized (if that is the case) when one realizes that publishers need to produce books that are acceptable in all regions of the country in order to achieve maximum sales. Still, I doubt that students in Massachu-setts and Texas are reading the same versions of U.S. history.

Sincerely,Bob HallBellingham

“GRAND PRIZE”

Effective Feb. 1, Jefferson County 9-1-1 and Clallam Coun-ty 9-1-1 will be ready to receive Text-to-9-1-1 from the public.

Text-to-9-1-1 allows members of the community to send text messages to reach 9-1-1 emer-gency call takers from their mobile phones or other devices.

“We see the main benefit of this technology as helping the deaf/hard of hearing and those with speech difficulties in gaining equal access to 9-1-1 during an emergency. This technology also will allow the general population to access 9-1-1 when they are not able to freely talk on their device,” said Jeffcom Director Karl Hatton.

It is important to remember a few critical details about Text-to-9-1-1.

1. In some areas, Text-to-9-1-1 is not available. Washington 9-1-1 centers are working diligently on getting this technology into their centers. If you text in an area without coverage, you will get a “bounce-back” message asking you to call 9-1-1 for help.

2. Text-to-9-1-1 does not pro-vide location accuracy and it is of critical importance that you know your location and are able to provide that location to the 9-1-1 call taker if you send a text.

3. Text in plain English and avoid the use of common texting abbreviations. Don’t use emoti-cons or attempt to send attach-ments such as video or pictures. The 9-1-1 center has no ability to open attachments.

4. Only Text-to-9-1-1 if you are unable to call 9-1-1. We want to

remind the public: “Call if you can, text only if you can’t.”

Before using Text-to-9-1-1, check with your wireless phone company. In general, you must have a text-capable wireless phone and a wireless service subscription or contract with a wireless phone company. You also need a “wireless data plan.” Remember, you can make a voice call to 9-1-1 using a wire-less phone that does not have a service plan, but you cannot send a text message to 9-1-1 without a service contract that includes texting.

Each phone or other text mes-sage-capable device is different. Familiarize yourself with your phone’s text message capabili-ties before you have a need to text 9-1-1.

DNV (HOSPITAL ACCREDITATION SERVICE):The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) re-

cently has accepted DNV as recognized quality assurance review body. FCH already has been working with DNV on our quality assurance measure for over two years. The hospitals in Port Angeles and Port Townsend also have been working with DNV before the announcement from CMS.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS: • Planning Session for Clinics: At the end of February, there

will be an all-day planning session for the clinics to establish their goals for the next 12 months. This will be on a Saturday so to not disrupt patient care.

• Clallam Bay Clinic now four days per week. The plan is to in-crease to five; however, this is dependent upon provider coverage.

• Surveys: The community has received recent visit-specified surveys from Bogachiel Clinic as part of a new patient satisfaction requirement from CMS. This is the public’s chance to point out improvements that need to be made to the health care experience from the front desk to the provider. In the future, surveys regard-ing the hospital experience also may be forthcoming.

To everyone thinking of moving to Wilbur, Wash., the place is not as amazing as you think. Before you pack up and move there, you should know the ugly side; riding ugly horses through town is illegal. I’m not even making this up. If you

have a horse that is not visually appeal-ing (and you need to be honest with yourself) AND have intentions of riding it through town (because who doesn’t), Wilbur is not for you!

Now, a person always could take their chances and hope that the Wilbur of-ficials don’t bother with such a law, but if I know Wilbur (and I don’t), I wouldn’t take that chance. They have a popula-tion of 851. My guess is that they have

a lot of time on their hands to write tickets for such things. And who gets to decide your horse’s beauty (or lack of)? The police officers and the judge! With a population of 851, one person probably holds both positions so you can’t even hope that maybe one of the two will like your horse.

I’m just saying, I wouldn’t move there.Hopefully I’ve talked you into staying here in Forks, but

please don’t assume that this area is perfect either. In fact, the entire state of Washington has one law that I think we can all agree is unfair and hard to abide by: the illegality of harassing Bigfoot. Are you kidding me? That was the first thing I was going to do when I ran into Bigfoot! Now that I know it can land me in prison for 10 years (seriously), I have to go with Plan B if an encounter occurs — running away and screaming my head off.

The real draw to this area, in regard to the law, is the manda-tory-ness of a motorist with criminal intentions to stop at the city limits and telephone the chief of police about it as he is entering the town. I’m sure that Rick Bart can attest to the fact that this law is followed 100 percent none of the time.

But where do I recommend living for those who just can-not get over the ugly horse and Bigfoot laws? Georgia … and not for the peaches either. I hate peaches. Weird, I know. No, move to Georgia for their fried chicken laws! When eating fried chicken in Georgia, it is illegal to use a fork … as it absolutely should be! This law alone won me over on the idea of relocating there. People who use forks to eat fried chicken are heathens and I am happy to know that my neighbors won’t be doing it!

So, unless there is a law stating that a columnist cannot write about towns in which they do not live (and there probably is), I’ll be writing to you from Georgia soon … when I’m not riding my homely horse, of course. Ha, that sounds like that song.

For more information on Wilbur, Wash., you’re going to have to ask someone else because I’ve only known of its ex-istence for about four hours now. However, you can e-mail me at [email protected] for other reasons.

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.

Attention owners of unattractive horses

On Tuesday, Jan. 26, over 150 DOC Teamster members and their families, along with Teamster staff and members from other industries, met with dozens of legislators as a part of Department of Corrections Lobby Day in Olympia.

Making the trip from Clallam Bay Correc-tions Center were Am-ber Bates, Josh Reyes, Barbara Bannan, Helen Donatacci, Dean Mc-Coy, Jeremy Sheldon and Kacy Larkin. Representing Olym-pic Corrections Center were Tammy Lee and Joyce Bos.

The trip came just a day after CBCC staff member Terry Breedlove was viciously at-tacked by an inmate and Breed-love’s assault was unfortunately timely as the group looked to talk to their representatives about House Bill 2507.

HB 2507 would extend benefits to assaulted employees until the assaulted employee is able to return to work or is medically discharged, and to ensure that Teamsters at DOC, who are seriously injured in an assault, have the benefits they need to continue to provide for their families was the day’s No. 1 priority.

DOC members also had the

opportunity to attend a House hearing on HB 2507. Two cor-rections staff provided power-ful testimony in support of the bill — one of the speakers was

Joschue Reyes from CBCC.

Currently, DOC staff who are assaulted on the job receive benefits for no longer than one year before the benefits are cut off by the state.

CBCC opened as a medium-custody 450-bed facility in 1985 and converted to a Closed Custody facility in 1991. In 1992, it expanded to house an additional 400 medium-custody inmates. To-day, the facility houses around 858 male offenders.

Olympic Corrections Center is a minimum security facil-ity. Inmates there often work fighting forest fires during the summer, assisting the Depart-ment of Natural Resources in clearing and planting trees. Speciality Inmate crews super-vised by Custody and Correc-tions officers also help local communities by providing yard work and other services in the community of Forks.

As Terry Breedlove continues his recovery, this past week also marked the anniversary

Local Corrections officers travel to Olympia

of the death of correctional officer Jayme Biendl. Biendl was killed by an inmate as she worked at the Monroe Cor-rectional Complex on Jan. 29, 2011. Biendl was 34 years old and had worked in corrections since 2002.

NINTH ANNUAL DRAGON PARADE FOR CHINESE NEW YEAR’S!

Come one, come all. Parade the streets of Clallam Bay on Feb. 13, as we dance our “dragon.”

Wear colorful clothes, oranges, yellows and red, shake noise makers and enjoy lots of laughter.

A group of fun loving and fearless folk have been dancing the dragon for nine years now. Different folk build these unique creatures out of paper maché, paint and decorate them.

Drive, walk or run, shed those winter blues and housebound feelings of winter.

This is a purely fun event, start-ing at 1 p.m. at Weel Road Deli, moving through businesses, up and down the streets of town until settling at the green building, the Three Sisters Art Gallery and Lighthouse Massage.

At this point the real movers and shakers appear from under the skirts and head of the magi-cal dragon to find a sumptuous potluck.

After that … dance and play to the wonderful sounds of local group Therapy Session until you can dance no more!

Everyone is welcome. Join the fun! The year of the monkey!

HISTORY TALES TO FEA-TURE THE HISTORY OF THE DUNGENESS LIGHTHOUSE

Chad Kaiser, general manager of the New Dungeness Light Station Association, will talk about the history of the Dunge-ness Lighthouse at the Clallam County Historical Society’s History Tales presentation. The

program is at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 7, at the First United Meth-odist Church, 110 E. Seventh St., Port Angeles. Parking and entry to the church’s social hall are on Laurel Street.

The New Dungeness Light Sta-tion has been in continuous op-eration since its lard oil lamp was lit for the first time on Dec. 14, 1857. Capt. Thomas Boyling and Henry Blake were the first ap-pointed keepers. When Boyling resigned, Blake took over as head keeper until Sept. 18, 1868. A fog bell was used from 1857-1874 when it was replaced with

a steam fog signal. In 1894, a separate oil house for the stor-age of kerosene was built; it still exists today. Responsibility for navigational aids was transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard in 1939. In 1993, the New Dungeness Light Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1994, the nonprofit New Dungeness Light Station Asso-ciation was created. Volunteers have donated over 80,000 hours since that time to operate and maintain the light station. Their dedication helps to keep this

national treasure’s history alive.Kaiser has been the general man-

ager since 2011. He worked for the Maritime Exchange Museum in Southeast Michigan and was pivotal in helping that museum become the largest private col-lection of Lifesaving Service and lighthouse antiques in the United States. He has been involved with dozens of lighthouse preservation projects including consulting on lighthouse restorations along with transportation and conservation of lighthouse lenses.

History Tales is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Clallam County Historical Society’s office at 360-452-2662 or e-mail [email protected].

Forks Spartans at Tenino Beavers

On Jan. 25, the Spartan boys traveled to Tenino and lost a nailbiter that went down to the last second. Forks found themselves down eight at halftime before rallying in the second half and making it a 1 point game with less than a minute to go.

“We have to find a way to put all four quarters together with execution and energy. There are so many ways to keep yourself in a ball game, we have to get the intensity to do that every single game,” said coach Rick Gooding.

Forks struggled shooting the basketball, shooting 31 per-cent from the field which included one for 20 from behind the arc as a team. “We didn’t shoot the ball well, that is no secret, but there is still so much more to the game than simply scoring,” said Gooding. “We can never be lacka-daisical in a ballgame and unfortunately we had too many runs of being lackadaisical.”

Marky Adams and Parker Browning led the way for the Spartans with 11 rebounds each, while Keishaun Ramsey ripped down eight and Cole Baysinger seven rebounds. Jeffrey Schumack led the Spartans with six assists and Keishaun Ramsey dished out three.

The Spartans are currently in fourth place in league, but the Elma Eagles are right behind them with three league games left to play. Tenino also has put themselves in the hunt for a playoff spot now owning the tiebreaker over the Spartans. It will be a tight race down the stretch for the Spartans to get into the district tournament.

Hoh News Charles Lewis reports to the game manager that he has at

last managed to round up the six head of cattle that had been kidnapped by the Twin Creek bull elk. When disturbed, the bull gave warning and the calves of the group, that had come to look upon the elk as the father figure of the herd, promptly bolted with him, disregarding their bawling mothers, who were compelled to follow, too. When not disturbed, the elk kept the cows herded together and would not let them return home.

It was thought the old bull elk had been driven out from his kind by a stronger male and solaced himself by collecting the alien harem.

At the regular Port of Port Angeles commission meeting, Jan. 26, the commission unanimously approved the 2016 Community Partner Program.

The Port’s Community Partner Program offers matching funds of up to $65,000 for use in trade promotion, tourism promotion, public education and awareness and economic development proj-ects for small cities and communities in Clallam County.

An eligible Clallam County community is de-fined as:

• A public or nonprofit group• An incorporated or unincorporated small city

of no more than 10,000 residentsSmall cities and nonprofits may submit proposals

by Feb. 29 to the Port of Port Angeles for screen-ing and prioritization. Following the solicitation

period, port staff forward all eligible proposals to the board. The board then selects the community or communities and awards funds to the most worthy proposals, no later than April 15. Each small city or nonprofit then has until the end of the calendar year to spend the project money and submit supporting documentation to the Port of Port Angeles for reimbursement.

The port initially launched the Community Partner Program in 2015 and the program was a great success. The port funded 10 different proj-ects throughout Clallam County ranging from audio visual equipment, to tourism signage, to exhibit lighting. To learn more about applying to the Community Partner Program, go to http://wa-portofportangeles.civicplus.com/ and select 2016 Community Partner Program.

Quileute Tribal School Child Find

Many problems children develop are rather easily solved or prevented when they are detected early in the child’s life. If you have concerns about your child’s development, please take advantage of free developmental screenings.

All children are eligible for screening, including homeless chil-dren and those living in temporary situations.

Your child will be screened for physical skills, hearing, vision, intellectual functioning and speech and language development.

Quileute Tribal School staff is available to provide screening for children ages 5-21. If your child is 5 or older and is attending school, the screening can be done at the school.

Screenings for children ages birth to 3 can be conducted at Forks Concerned Citizens at 374-9340.

Screenings for children ages 3-5 can be conducted at the Quileute Head Start in La Push at 374-2631.

If you have concerns regarding your child, call Quileute Tribal School at 374-5602 to set up an appointment.


By Chiggers StokesSpecial to the Forks Forum

For most of the history of civilization it has been held that the sun and other stars followed the path of our moon around a flat planet, Earth. We are taught in school that flat earth camp lost a lot of members in 1492 with the discov-ery of the Americas by Spain’s Christo-pher Columbus. We may remember other fiction we were taught: that the great Portuguese naviga-tor Ferdinand Magellan was the first to circumnavigate the “globe,” sailing off into the sunset in September of 1519.

But there was no sunrise for Captain Magellan as the ship returned, back lit by a rising sun three years later. The Great Navigator died in route. It was what was left of the crew and his second in com-mand that rightfully deserve the title of World Navigators. On this voyage, and that of Columbus’ to the Americas, latitude was easily calculated with a sextant trained on the North Star. Polaris’s angle above the horizon corre-sponded with reliable lines of latitude, even on the obsolete “flat world maps.”

But determining longitude was really difficult. Longi-tude depends on having a clock accurate enough to tell the difference between celes-tial time read on a sun dial and a global clock standard, which is based on a line of longitude intersecting the English village of Greenwich.

The U.S. National Standards clock in Boulder, Colo., is estimated to be within two minutes of accuracy since the beginning of time 13.7 bil-

lion year ago. Half a century after Magellan, it was the Italian, Galileo Galilei, who ran with Copernicism — the theory that the Earth revolved around its star, the sun. He used a tool of the devil,

called a telescope, to produce a very convincing model of what he described as a solar system. Like Copernicus, Galilei’s model put the sun in the middle of a heliocentric system of orbiting planets.

His conviction on the matter was tested by the Catholic Church and, in fairness to the Catholics, they did look through the eyepieces to draw their own conclusions. The Church argued that stellar parallax proved the heliocen-tric model inconsistent with observations. But when the argument turned from a sci-entific debate to one of her-esy, that the Earth was clearly the center of God’s Creation, the Father of Astronomy him-self recanted. I don’t possess anything as convincing as a rack or rat-infested dungeon to steer your opinion one way or the other.

But let’s have a friendly little discussion on the sub-ject and see where we end up. You hold on to what you learned in school. I will rely on imagination, a few half truths and the smattering of what I have read on the mat-ter.

For one thing, smart guys have weighed in on the sub-ject and don’t always come up with the model drawn by Copernicus and Galileo. If you will accept Albert Einstein as a smart guy, his model of Earth’s relationship with our sun disavows action at a distance. In General

Relativity, gravity accounts for a collapsing or deflation of space/time. Earth travel-ing, in a straight line parallel to our sun, only appears to be ascribing an arch as space time collapses under the weight of the sun. Gravity is not the glue holding us to Earth but the vacuum cleaner that deflates the time/space between our shoes and this precious planet.

If you accept Stephen Hawking as a smart guy, it was his assertion in “A Brief History of Time” that, following the principles of Special Relativity no such thing as absolute motion or non-motion or of place exists in the universe. This book by Dr. Hawking was a compila-tion of articles like this one, written for his local news-paper, The Sunday Times. Perhaps the similarity in our qualifications ends with finding local newsprint. But in explaining Special Rela-tivity, Dr. Hawking points out that within one frame of reference, whether we are flying into the sun or the sun is flying into Earth. The math works either way, says Dr. Hawking, and size is not at issue. The accident can be blamed on either party.

When I first came to the Olympic Peninsula in 1977, the only digital watches available cost $39.99 and required that you push a button to get an LED display (not the liquid crystal display on watches today). Such a timepiece, even though it lost seconds a day, would have been a godsend to early navi-gators plotting longitude with sand hour glasses. Taking into account monetary infla-tion, I recently purchased a discounted GPS for about the same price as one of those

Going off the Grid Part 7: Yep...

Seeing Through: Chapter 5A Geocentric World View: Part 1

True Color

LED watches. You probably already know this, but a GPS is an Earth station receiver, clock and map system. The receiver recognizes differ-ent signals from individual GPS dedicated satellites (thank you, United States Department of Defense). The logic triangulates and quad-rangulates the signals into converging lines on a map by knowing when the signal was transmitted and when it was received. Since my GPS is accurate within 50 feet, the clock must be accurate to 50 billionths of a second (a light foot is very close to one-billionth of a second.)

Special Relativity tells us that a clock moving uniform-ly in time/space “faster” than our frame of reference will run slower. Without Special and General Relativity pro-grammed into the logic of the GPS, the Department of De-fense GPS system would be space junk in a week. A fine point is that a GPS doesn’t tell you where you are in real time/space; it tells you where you are in the virtual world of its on board maps. From the maps, we infer where we

are on the ground.If you have a GPS yourself,

notice that as you move, your position remains in the center of the screen and it is the map that moves to reflect a changing location. That is akin to geocentric thinking. If you substitute our planet for the car in the middle of the screen, and a star map of our universe scrolls across the screen as Earth “moves” through time/space, you are using geocentric logic.

Please join me next week to take an imaginary inter-stellar journey to our near-est neighbor, located in the Alpha Centauri cluster.

Our voyage may serve to illustrate the perils of your heliocentric thinking.

I am loaning you a star map to help you get ready for the trip. You can keep the map. This map is a little worn out from use and I will be making my own based on geocentric logic.

I hope to see you next week and please bring your chigoggles.

I received an unexpected phone call this week from an old high school teacher of

mine, Rachel Bennett. It was so nice to hear her voice. She offered me her grandmother’s sewing machine. Remember the first article I wrote about

how I can’t sew and I thought the first step to homesteading was owning an apron? Yeah, I still can’t use a sewing ma-chine to save my life.

Mrs. Bennett brought up when I took her basic sewing class after I told her I couldn’t sew then I brought up how I took her advanced class as well. My Granny always threaded my bobbin.

This particular sewing ma-chine, Mrs. Bennett offered me, was her grandmother’s. From what I understand, it’s old school, push pedal and no plug is needed. This is fantas-tic. She is going to get herself up to speed on it and reteach me!

Our water pump arrived. WE HAVE WATER!

That’s about the nicest thing I

have to say about this week. Homesteading is being a real

pain this week. I am frantically searching for

a new place to live. You know, one where I have to pay for electricity, water, Internet and television.

I have just had it this week. Maybe next week will be bet-ter.

Let’s pray.

Things are rolling right along on the Goodings’ house! When they’re not working full-time at their “other” jobs, Shay and Kristal have put in a lot of long, hard hours. The faithful duo of Bill Terrill and Bob Tiemeyer have been working beside them. With some much-welcome help from OCC, and despite some meteorological hiccups, the Goodings appear to be on sched-ule to move in this spring.

There have been some unex-pectedly long delays, some due to material and service delays, most due to rain and intermittent downpours interspersed with … more rain. When people in Forks are talking about the wet winter — it’s wet!

It is impossible to get a decent surface on concrete when the sky will not hold still long enough to broom the finish. The outside of the house couldn’t be painted until there was a momentary wink of sunshine, but when there was a hole in the storm, up jumped OCC and within a day primed boards had become a cloud grey exterior paint job.

The Goodings chose the color, which seems eerily apropos. Fortunately there is electricity, which means there is heat, which means there are now some good-looking floors in place. It’s really starting to look like home. When the pontoons are taken off it will look better yet. There aren’t any pontoons. There should be.

More help will arrive on Feb. 7 in the form of Care-A-Vanners. How brave and devoted to the cause do you have to be to come to Forks in February? But com-ing they are and grateful we are to have them.

With their help, window sills, trim, cabinets and tile all should be done quickly and efficiently. We are hoping to feed them well and extend our good Forks hospitality in any way we can. If you run into them, please say hello and thank them for com-ing. If you would like to come by and help, the house is warm and dry — at least inside.

The Core Team has not been idle. Shele, Barb and Show-andah have been painting on their door for the door painting contest. It is an awesome door, because it is full of laughter and

Into the Home Stretch

purpose, and thanks to Pastor Pam and her studio, the door is in a warm, dry place to work.

The Core team wants to know how all the other doors in the community are coming along, and if those artists are ready for that inner-community contest. The ladies are sorely tempted to claim victory in advance,

but knowing at least some of the people who have doors out there, and having a modicum of good sense, they’re keeping mum for now.

Remember, the doors are going to be auctioned off to help raise money for Habitat and there needs to be money in the cof-fers before we can start another

build. It’s all one big pot of dol-lars, so to help us locally, is to help us countywide. Don’t forget to put your Outfitters receipts in the jars around town. Don’t forget to say hi and welcome to the Care-A-Vanners, and please pray for the Goodings, their house and some sunny days soon!

Walls are in place and paint is rolling on. It’s really starting to look like home for the Goodings, who have worked through splattered shirts and aching backs to get into their new Habitat house. Submitted photo
