“unprofessional” letter he received letting him know his health care provider was no longer available to him at Bogachiel Clinic. Although still there, his provider would now see walk-in patients only. Wright said, “I don’t buy the better job and more pay excuse either.” Those in the audience applauded.

Anderson explained that the clinic needs to provide the walk-in service. It saves patients from costly emergency room visits, when not warranted.

Linda Offutt questioned the clinic’s decision to get rid of physician assistants.

By Christi Baron It was soon apparent, as the regular monthly meeting of the hospital board of commissioners was due to start Tuesday, Sept. 22, that the hospital conference room was not going to be large enough. Board members, hospital administrators, citizens and hospital staff moved across the street to the ambulance shed meeting room.

At 5 p.m. hospital board chairman Daisy Anderson called the meeting to order with approximately 70 people crowded into the room. Commissioner Don Lawley was present and commissioner Gerry Lane attended via the phone. Anderson opened the meeting with public comment and the board and administration got an earful.

The first to speak was Penny Winn who questioned the recent turnover of staff.

Anderson replied that some of the information could not be discussed because of privacy issues, but that some people had left due to better paying jobs elsewhere and their own personal reasons.

Next Patty Birch, who recently has filed as a write-in candidate for Lawley’s position on the board, also questioned the recent turnover.

Joe Wright, a resident of the area for five years, questioned the revolving door of health care providers. He said this entire situation has made him very, very mad and in a bad mood. He questioned the

Dear Editor, Like Mrs. Halverson, you were a good teacher. While working in the area during the past six months, I got to experience living near the small town of Forky. I have never lived in a small town, but I have always heard bad things and reductions like: “Outsiders don’t fit in,” “everybody knows your business” and “too much politics in small towns.”

To the first, as GK Chesterton said, “in big towns, you make your own friends and in small towns they are picked for you” but still in Forky you are welcomed with a smile in the Thriftway, library and Tesoro.

You have to be suspicious of smiles in the big city. And what gives you the right to “fit in” right away anyway?

In a small town, they screen all applicants with a fine-toothed comb. Over time, the small town may let you in the circle, like a big family, but only a fool lets the stranger in immediately.

Like that old financial commer-

Paul McHugh & Norm Shaaf 2015 Campaign Co-Chairman

cial “friends must be earned.”

This is the natural and normal state of things all over the world. Do you think you can sling around your Seattle charisma in Slovakia or Armenia or 200 other countries and be accepted or make a big business deal quick? Think again.

To the second reduction: everybody knows your business.

I think that if your business is good then you won’t mind if everybody knows about it. If it’s bad, maybe everybody should know. Thanks Bogachiel Clinic and Eagle Auto Repair for your help and good business.

The third is that there is too much politics in the small town.

It should be known that there is too much politics in this entire fallen world. “Too much politics” is often the refrain of misfits. If you don’t like politics, you should live in a van or work at a national park, the last refuges of no politics.

I always will remember the nice ladies at Thriftway, the secondhand store and Tesoro. Of course, there was one woman who honked and screamed at me at the light one day. Apparently, I crossed the street wrong — I think — maybe. She barked at me like she was in New York City.

But as a rule, the smaller the

town, the friendlier the folks.

People I know who travel the world tell me that this is true in all countries. Love one another, Forky, we do need more love in the world!

Finally, you may be wondering why I call Forks “Forky.” I playfully told a local that I was going to run for mayor and start a referendum to have the name of Forks changed to Forky. You see when you say Forky, your mouth curves into a smile.

Forks? Not so much. Try it and you’ll see what I mean. The resulting publicity would be worldwide and “the Forky initiative” would be the marketing ploy that Forks needs. Twilight can’t last forever.

Also, and most importantly, it would get me reelected. The local I was talking to looked at me serious and told me “nobody will vote for you, you are an outsider.” Me and this local picked up the conversation recently and she asked me if I was still considering the “Forky initiative.” I told her no, because living in Washington made me want to get a sex change operation. She looked at me befuddled and I told her I’m not Karen anymore (I’m not carin’ anymore) because I understand. I get it now. I’m going back to Texas where there are a thousand small towns like Forks — a thousand.

And I don’t fit into any of them

HOSPITAL, from page 1 Offutt said, “They filled a need, not everyone needs to see a doctor.”

Anderson answered that the clinic will have physician assistants again.

Janet Hughes spoke next — her husband Tom Hughes until recently worked at the Bogachiel Clinic. Hughes said, “I am afraid that soon we won’t even have a hospital. The hospital currently has no midlevels. It has become a hostile workplace, the staff gets no support from the administration and I blame the board for allowing it to happen.”

She went on to complain that the budget is not made available to the public. “We need this hospital here, we need providers at the clinic. I am fearful it is about to shut down.” She questioned how the clinic could survive after the loss of three health care providers and how that would mean that about 170 fewer patients would now be seen and how could the clinic survive.

“I fear it is not going to be a family hospital anymore, it is going to be a corporation,” Hughes said.

Glynda Schaad addressed the current resignation of Chief of Nursing Laura Kripinski. Schaad said that is was because of Kripinski that her father is still alive. “I am very upset that she is gone. What is going on here?” Schaad said.

Dr. John Jackson spoke and gave a different perspective on the administration’s actions.

Jackson said he has purchased a home in Forks and he plans on staying. He pointed out some of the problem is “health care is changing.” He said what he needed was another doctor to assist him with baby deliveries.

Sue Shane was next to speak.

Shane said that she had never seen such low morale of the staff. The crowd applauded.

Hospital employee Debbie Perkins said it was hard to get young people to come to Forks to work. She also questioned if the current administration should be given more time to implement their vision for the facility.

Annie Crippen, also a hospital staff member, said, “We need to value the people that we already have, we feel like we are not valued.”

Winn added, “Look at this room, there are more than 50 community members here.

Where has the board failed?

The community is saying you are failing.”

Dr. Tristan McGovern, an orthopedic surgeon, complimented the board on the decisions made to expand surgery services at the hospital.

FCH nurse Leah Hillcar fought back tears as she said that the staff was fearful of losing their jobs. “Enough is enough, I am done being scared and bullied.” Hillcar said.

Also speaking were other hospital employees. Jena Snell shared a recent experience as a consumer at the hospital. Sarah Fletcher questioned the higher cost of using traveling nurses.

Joella Imel said she works hard and expects the hospital should work hard for the community.

Anderson replied, “We value these people, we hear you.”

She then said the board would excuse the crowd and go into executive session.

Anderson also said she was happy to see the community turn out in such a large number.

A SPECIAL FCH BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MEETING CALLED MONDAY, SEPT. 28 The Forks Community Hospital Board of Commissioners met in a special meeting at 8 a.m.

Monday, Sept. 28, in the conference room at FCH. Commissioner Daisy Anderson called the meeting to order, about 30 community members and hospital staff were in attendance.

Commissioners Anderson and Don Lawley were at the meeting and Commissioner Gerry Lane attended via the phone.

Anderson started off with a motion stating that at this point and without discussion the hospital would terminate the services of current CEO David Selman, effective immediately.

CEO Selman was present at the meeting.

The motion was seconded by Lane and with all in favor the motion passed.

A second motion was made to have current CFO Tim Cournyer assume the responsibilities of CEO in addition to his current responsibilities. The motion was seconded and passed with all commissioners in favor.

The decision to dismiss Selman comes less than a week after the well-attended commissioners meeting that was held Sept. 22. At that meeting, hospital staff and members of the community voiced concerns about the recent loss of a number of employees and also questioned recent changes at the Bogachiel Clinic.

Selman has been at Forks Community Hospital since November 2014.

Mae H. Maupin August 17, 1931 - September 15, 2015

Mae H. Maupin found peace in the arms of her Lord on September 15, 2015.

She was born on August 17, 1931 in Forks, Washington and raised on a farm in Quillayute, Washington. She attended Quillayute school until it burned and then Forks High School.

She was the daughter of John “Jack” and Bessie Hutsell.

She was also the granddaughter of Jim and Mossie Sampair who owned Sampair Service station and cabins south of Forks.

Mae was a member of the Quillayute Grange and active in 4 H, entering competition at state in Pullman, Washington.

In high school she enjoyed being active in drama. She was very knowledgeable in the outdoors, in gardening, hunting and gathering from nature’s abundance.

Mae had operated a child care and she was a foster home provider in Portland, Oregon.

In 1949 she married Perry H. Maupin. They later divorced.

Mae is survived by her children Teresa Darlain, David Nadeau of Portland, Oregon, Katherine Fuhrer of Aberdeen, Washington, Holly (Patrick) Carter of Hoquiam, Washington, Julie Maupin of Portland, Lara (Rosario) Postiglione of Chicago, Illiois; two step-children, Elizabeth (Perry) Shurbaugh of Manzanita, Oregon. and Zachary Maupin.

Mae was a very loving grandmother and close with her 15 grandchildren; 30 great grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren; her sister Marie McFadden; half-brother Michael Hutsell; half-sister Nita Tucker; aunt Nettie Nelson; many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Mae was preceded in death by her son Dean Maupin; grandsons Alex Maupin, Jason Davis, John Davis and parents John “Jack” and Bessie Hutsell. She will be sorely missed by her lifelong companion Maine Coon Kitty Beau.

Thank you to mom’s special angels that gave their love and care, nurses, Harbor Home and Health care and the Physician Assistant at the community hospital. Blessings to you all.

A celebration of life will be held at 11:00 A.M. at South Aberdeen Baptist Church, 620 Fordney, Aberdeen, WA on October 3, 2015. Pastor Bob Kenagy will be officiating.

Friends and family may gather at the Lions Club, 601 2nd, Cosmopolis, WA at Noon following the service.

Arrangements are entrusted to Fern Hill Funeral Home in Aberdeen, WA.

THE REAL FORKS Natural Consequences

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford As a parent, I prefer to use natural consequences as often as possible. Not only does it mean less work for me, but it also allows me to avoid being the bad cop. Just this past summer, the best possible case of a natural consequences scenario happened.

My daughter insisted that she wasn’t hungry at dinnertime. The fact that her friends were all playing outside was a complete coincidence, I’m sure. After a solid 30 seconds of trying my hardest to get her to eat, I finally gave up. My withdrawal was met with small print stating that she would not be getting any treats later on. She stated, as maturely as a 7 year old gets, “Fine. Whatever.”

Fifteen minutes later, I heard the sweetest sound; the ice cream truck was making the Robin Hood Loop rounds! “HA HA, Savannah! I win!” is what I wanted to say to my daughter, but I did not. I am far too mature for that. Not really but instead I gave her my best “I told you so” look. Moms are real good at that look. It comes very naturally to us.

That day natural consequences made my life much easier, but last week natural consequences betrayed me. It all started with a weeklong battle to get Savannah to wear a coat to school. I finally let the battle go and said, as maturely as a mom on little sleep gets, “Fine. Whatever.” I figured that natural consequences would kick in and allow this to die once and forever. She would realize that I was right.

That did not happen. Instead, my best friend called later and said, “I saw Savannah at school today. She said she was cold and doesn’t have a coat.” Of course Savannah would say that.

Why wouldn’t she say that? This is the same girl that told her grandma that I never feed her.

Let me tell you all this, this girl needs coats like we need rain. OK, that’s a really bad comparison right now. She needs coats like we need rain during a normal year. I like coats … perhaps more than my budget allows at times. My children combined have more coats than a large Burlington Coat factory. Savannah doesn’t need a coat. She needs to listen to her mother.

Anyway, I would just like the people of the school, community and most of all, CPS to know that Savannah is not coat-less. She has a ton of them and will be wearing one every single day for the rest of the year. You may even see her wearing a parka when it is 90 degrees outside (I’m totally exaggerating CPS). If she complains of being hot at any point, I hope you will all tell her that she should have listened to her mom. Actually, I would appreciate if everyone could just say that to her anyway … just to cover all potential instances in which she may be not listening.

Commentary

Fasten your seat belts …

By Christi Baron It could be said what happens to one person in a small town happens to everybody … when hospital staff seemed to be troubled, the community came out to support them.

Having been at the hospital, the past several weeks many times, due to a family member using the services of that facility, I can honestly say that if there were concerns about their jobs or any other internal turmoil at Forks Community Hospital, it was not apparent as an onlooker. The staff there was professional, caring and courteous.

The trouble that was brewing did not show itself in the duties that staff performed daily.

Umpqua Bank held a Customer Appreciation Day on Wednesday, Sept. 23, and the Forks Forum’s own Christy Ford was especially appreciated. She even got her name on the cake. Ford often writes about her relationship with her bank.

Next week is Hickory Shirt/ Heritage Days, sponsored by West End Business and Professional Association. With added help from the Rainforest Council for the Arts, the activities will be many this year. Things will kick off with the Pioneer

In the afternoon there will be a slide presentation by local historian Jack Zaccardo, with discussion to follow. The week will continue with an art show, movie night, Fish and Brew, family dance, free admission to the Timber Museum, oldtime photos ops, little logger contest, logging demo and local book signing. Look for a full schedule next week.

Sequim Gazette and Peninsula Daily News and Brewer will be retiring.

A big thank you to Mr. Brewer for the opportunity I was given to become the editor of my hometown newspaper. He took a big chance on a person who knew nothing about anything and a chance to sometimes prove it!

It has been great working with you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLICY

The 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 editor@forksforum.com; faxed to 374-5739; or dropped off at our office at 44 S.

Volleyball action!

The Lady Spartans had some great play last week in Evergreen league matches.

Sarah Adams led in serving with a perfect 33 out of 33 serves and 5 aces. Bailey Queen led in net play with 9 kills and 6 stuff blocks. Emily Thomas had 22 assists while Skyler DeMatties led in passing percentage from the back row. The Spartans’ next home match will be on Friday, Oct. 2, with Eatonville, JV and C squad will start play at 5:45 p.m. with the varsity to follow. The team would like to thank all of the support that they are receiving from both the community and the student body at its home matches!

Popular trail repaired by OCC community service crews

FORKS FORUM

By Darla DePew, Public Information Officer, Olympic Corrections Center The bridge pictured was installed close to 18 years ago on a very popular trail located behind the Forks Visitor Center leading to the University of Washington’s Olympic Natural Resource Center.

This trail is accessed regularly by locals as well as travelers who come to the visitor center and Forks Timber Museum.

About four years ago staff noticed that it was getting soft in places but didn’t have the time or money to replace it.

At that time they laminated some treated 2x6 boards over the existing decking just to stabilize it, but knowing that it would have to be complete-

ly replaced in the next couple of years.

With the help of the City of Forks providing the funds for materials and Olympic Corrections Center providing the labor, they were able to replace the bridge as well

as remove debris on the trail from the recent windstorm, once again making it safe for use.

The crews made use of nature and some extra supplies to add two rustic benches on each side of the bridge as nice

resting spots to stop and take a break or simply enjoy the scenery.

The City of Forks, the ONRC and all the locals and visitors to the area that use the trail appreciate very much the work done by the Com-

munity Service Crews from Olympic Corrections Center. Deric Kettel, maintenance mechanic for ONRC said, “As always, these guys do exceptional work and are an important and valuable asset to our community.”

Hammering home the message

By Showandah Terrill And here it is. There are 1.6 BILLION (with a B) people around the world living in poverty housing. Without a safe place to live they are less likely to be healthy, less likely to be educated and less likely to be able to take advantage of employment opportunities that could help pull them out of poverty.

What does poverty housing look like? No electricity, no running water, no insulation, no floors, no windows, mold, mildew, bug and vermin infestations — choose any or all of them and then think about the last time the power went out and you couldn’t function until you got the generator started, the well pump went out and you didn’t have gallons of water at your disposal for a couple days, you found ants in the kitchen or mice in the pantry and thought civilization was

coming to an end before you sprayed or trapped the little buggers into oblivion.

Do you truly understand what a luxury it is to be able

to start a generator for light, turn on a faucet and get water to bathe, light a wood stove or flip a switch and get heat, roll up a shade and let in the

light? Really think about it — 1.6 billion people can’t do that — ever. Something about the way they are forced to live prevents them from thriving, from doing the simple things we do every day and take for granted. Now look around Forks. Really look.

Some of those 1.6 billion people are right here; folks in our own community who desperately need some help to get into adequate housing — nothing fancy. Adequate.

Back in 1985, the United Nations declared the first Monday in October as World Habitat Day. Habitat for Humanity participates in this international event because we know that adequate shelter is critical to breaking the cycle of poverty and there’s a lot yet to be done.

Habitat doesn’t just build new homes, you know. We repair or refurbish older homes to bring them up to acceptable standards and all of it takes

money.

More than that, it takes devotion to the cause. If we could skim off 10 percent of the Seahawks frenzy in this town and pour it into Habitat, we could finish every house on Maloney and refurbish half the sub-standard housing in Forks. But we can’t.

We need you to recognize the need and show up with Outfitters receipts and cash donations.

Mostly, we need you to show up, period. When the Care-A-Vanners aren’t here, there aren’t very many people working on the Goodings house.

You can change that. Show up. Sign up online to work, (www.habitatclallam.org) and … show up.

Please.

Mark Oct. 5 on your calendar and, in honor of World Habitat Day, say yes to a day of helping out.

Please, and Thank-you.

‘Cuts’

By Christi Baron Editor note: Next Thursday night during Hickory Shirt/ Heritage Days, the logging movie “Sometimes a Great Notion” will be shown at the RAC. Before the feature the documentary “Cuts” will be shown.

In the late 1970s, Charles Gustafson, a filmmaker enrolled as a student at Evergreen State College in Olympia, made “Cuts,” a gritty film about work in cedar shingle mills. Much of the filming was done inside the M.R. Smith Shingle Mill located on the shores of Lake Pleasant.

Of the local men who were interviewed in this 38-minute documentary, few of them had all of their fingers and many of them were missing a whole handful. While difficult to watch at times, it is an eye-opening realistic look at a profession that involved hard work and hard living.

Matt R. Smith was a prominent lumber broker in Kansas

City, Mo., in the early 1900s.

His son Paul eventually would own the Lake Pleasant mill, which was constructed in the early 1940s, and a number of other mills around the state.

By 1964, M.R. Smith Shingle employed around 90 men and operated 10 shingle saws, supplying cedar shingles from Nova Scotia to the Bahamas, with a majority of the product going to Texas.

By the time Gustafson showed up in the late 1970s to make his documentary, the mill on the lake was still going strong. Paul Smith had died; his family had sold the mill to Merle Watson, the former assistant manager.

One of the participants in the film, Harold Earley, remembers the film crew having full access to the mill operations and the filming taking place over a several weeks period.

Earley was one of the sawyers at M.R Smith. He admits it has been a while since he has seen the film; he felt the sound of the saws running was louder than they actually were.

A scene from the film “Cuts” showing an M.R. Smith employees at work in the mill.

In Gustafson’s documentary the workers at the mill tell their stories in their own words over the whine of the saw blades.

At one point the wood, the sawyer’s hands and the blades are all moving so fast you are just certain someone is going to lose a finger. He follows the workers to their lunch break and a game of cards, where missing digits are quite apparent, then to the “Shingle Weaver’s Picnic” and a visit to the “Loop” Tavern where after

working hard, mill workers are ready to play hard.

The documentary was released in 1981; it is a real look at the transformation of massive logs of cedar into roofing products. No one in the mill romanticizes the difficult and dangerous work, but there is cautious pride, pride about their ability to do this difficult job well and profound sadness at the loss of anyone’s fingers.

One of the workers who lost most of his right hand likens

the job to being shot at every day, another calls it the sharp edge of living.

The mill eventually closed.

Although Earley never lost a finger during his shingle weaving days, he did suffer some “draw backs” and was cut several times, and while he made it out of the industry with all 10 fingers, he didn’t make it out without getting hurt and finally had to retire after a neck injury.

Sadly, Gustafson was killed by a drunk driver two years after the release of “Cuts.” In recent years his documentary has found new audiences at several Portland film festivals and the University of Washington Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies.

Gustafson’s family recently produced an original print of the film plus outtakes.

One reviewer of “Cuts” was upset that Gustafson did not appear to take “sides” in his documentary. One would assume that would mean for or against logging. But, maybe Gustafson was just on the side of some poor guy merely trying to make a living the only way he knew how and in the process he got “Cut.”
