Editor

Dear Editor, What possible explanation could there be for the removal of James Scarlett’s picture from the lobby of the Forks Hospital? Were it not for my father-in-law’s efforts, the bonding required to expand the facility would not have been accomplished. All generations of Forks residents should recognize James Scarlett as a giving neighbor who volunteered tirelessly working for the construction of an infrastructure for the establishment of quality health care, as well as providing for the education of the town’s youth through his service on the school board. Acknowledging the community service of this great man, by posting a picture of him in the lobby of the hospital, is a fitting tribute. The picture should never have been removed and needs to be returned to where it hung for decades. Charles Tyson Tukwila

Forks Compassion

To The Town of Forks: My son Kyle Forgey, his wife Jennifer and 2 1/2 year

old son Zayden moved to and bought a house in Forks last spring. Kyle was the manager of several resorts in West Yellowstone, Montana, and took a transfer to become the manager of Kalaloch Lodge. They both immediately fell in love with the area and community. Unfortunately, Jennifer was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and lost her brave, hard fought battle in Forks Community Hospital on Dec. 18, 2015. Jennifer’s dad previously wrote a letter to you in regard to this but I wanted to expound on the compassion of everyone we came in contact with in the hospital and community of Forks during that difficult time. I only regret not getting the names of all the people that were involved but I wasn’t thinking too clearly at the time. From the time we got to the hospital, we had care, concern, understanding and compassion like I have never experienced at any other medical facility I have been in. All (I believe it was nine nurses that we had contact with including the doctor) went out of their way to make sure we understood everything that was

going on and answered all our questions. They provided us with snacks, water and juices. The staff continually made sure we were comfortable and even the maintenance men brought in extra chairs for us and then they checked back with us periodically to see if there was anything we needed. When we were tired, because this was a several-day experience for us and we were there day and night, they found empty beds for us to rest in. Around the community we experienced no difference in compassion and caring. We stayed four nights in the Olympic Suites and were given a very discounted rate and the owner even came by the hospital and prayed over Jennifer with family members. We ate at Blakeslee’s Bar & Grill and Darcy (not sure of the spelling) and the owner expressed their sympathies and picked up our tab. We went to Thriftway to buy gift baskets for the nurses at the hospital and a lady said she would make them up for us because her daughter was a nurse at the ER and was there when they brought Jennifer in. The morning after Jennifer’s passing, she came by the house with food and eating utensils and offered to furnish dinner. She didn’t even know us. Zayden attends a pre-school class in Forks and the parents

got together and gave him a year’s scholarship. We had this same experience our entire time there no matter if we were going through a checkout stand at Thriftway or getting our hair cut at the barbers. You would never, in this day and age, have this kind of experience in any community especially considering the short time they have lived there. I want to express our sincere thanks for your outpouring of love and support during our trying time. You all made a terrible situation better. Again, thank you so much and I look forward to visiting Kyle, Zayden and Forks many times a year. Dr. Doug Forgey and Family and Tom and Robin Cozad Washougal

New ONP deputy superintendent visits Forks Olympic National Park’s new deputy superintendent, Lee Taylor, visited Forks last Wednesday and was the program at the West End Business morning meeting and the Forks Chamber of Commerce noon meeting. Taylor is a 30-year career employee of the National Park Service. Before taking on her new job at ONP she was the superintendent of San Juan Island National Historical Park, where she served for the past three years. Prior to that, she worked for 11 years at Mount Rainier National Park, overseeing the park’s interpretation, education and volunteer programs. Taylor began her career as a student intern in 1984 at Yosemite National Park and presented or managed interpretation and education programs at seven other parks from Alaska to Virginia before arriving at Mount Rainier in 2001. Taylor describes ONP as her “dream park” and told both groups she hopes to be a regu-

lar visitor to the West End and facilitate a close relationship with the community. The National Park Service turns 100 on Aug. 25 and Taylor shared some of the upcoming activities that will be happening this year in celebration of this milestone: • Centennial Goal: Reach out and connect with the next generation • Every Kid in a Park Program — If you are a fourthgrader or age equivalent free-choice learner, you and your family can receive an

Every Kid in a Park pass that will give you free access to hundreds of parks, lands and waters for an entire year. • Junior Ranger Program — The NPS Junior Ranger program is an activity-based program conducted in almost all parks and some Junior Ranger programs are national. Junior Rangers typically are between the ages of 5-13, although people of all ages can participate. Some local events include: • Healthy Parks, Healthy Communities Event • Olympic Prescription Program (Free admittance with a doctor’s prescription) • Bark Rangers — 3 trails for dogs • Junior Ranger Day • Bioblitz in May • Youth Corp Wilderness School Free admittance to all national parks in recognition of the 100th year Centennial will be: the week of April 16-24; the week of Aug. 25-28; Sept. 24; and Nov. 11.

THE REAL FORKS Dear Thievers Part II

By Christy Rasmussen-Ford

I’m guessing that when you broke into that shed a few weeks ago and then went back to steal a truck, you didn’t spend one second thinking of the person you were stealing from. You probably only concerned yourself with how much you could get for the items. The owner deserves better. He doesn’t deserve to be faceless to you. No one that you steal from deserves to be faceless so I would like to introduce one of your victims; The person you stole from didn’t exactly have an easy start at life. Statistically speaking, you probably didn’t either. You both made choices. Somewhere along the way, life presented a fork in the road to both of you. He went one way and you went the other. Maybe it only took one desperate moment in life for you to go down that wrong path. He has had desperate moments, too, I’m sure, but you might never guess that. He is the most cheerful guy you’ll ever meet. His mom said he was always like that. One could easily think that his goal in life is to make people happy. Now that I think of it, I can’t recall him ever yelling or even being angry very often. He laughs and tells jokes constantly, though sometimes (usually) his jokes are ridiculously cheesy. He’s spent many of his years working with the youth in our community. He didn’t discriminate who he mentored either. Poor, wealthy, good student, bad attitude, bad decisions … it didn’t matter. He treated every young person he met the same and with hopes that maybe he would make a difference in their life. He worked with so many kids around this area that chances are good that he either worked with you or with someone you know. He has the patience of a saint. If being a dad to four girls doesn’t highlight that, I don’t know what does. They are wonderful people, too, and will all say that their dad played a large part in their success. The person you stole from is a really hard worker. He never expects to get something for nothing. He’s worked hard for everything he’s ever had including the things you stole. Because he has worked hard for everything, he treasured those items. They weren’t just things collecting dust out back. They were all meaningful to him. Most important of all, you should know that if you ever decide to turn your life around, he will be your biggest supporter. He will be proud of you, even if he doesn’t know you. He will forgive you in a heartbeat and be the first to whole-heartedly give you a second chance with no strings attached. At no point will he ever hold any of your past mistakes against you. You won’t find that in everyone, but you will find it in him. That is who you stole from. He is a person, much like you are and he has a story, much like you do. Change your story.

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.

This week I am going to hand over my space and a little more to my friend Chiggers Stokes. Chiggers is the only person I know that was at Dr. King’s “I have a dream” speech, but before I do I hope you all will read the letter on page 2 from Dr. Doug Forgey.

True Color

Seeing Through My Finger: Part 4 Free At Last By Chiggers Stokes Special to the Forks Forum

Today (Jan. 18) the United States celebrates the birth of a great American — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I have promised a column on “world view” and today I celebrate the holiday by imposing my own political opinion under the banner of World View. On Aug. 28, 1963, Dr. King led a hundred thousand person march on Washington calling for equal employment and equal rights for every American, black or white. I was one of those hundred thousand. I stood amid a sea of black people with tears streaming down my white face. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Dr. King faced the United States Capitol and threw away his written speech. Under the roof of our capitol, black Americans could not drink from public water fountains or use the restrooms. From his heart, without benefit of his discarded notes, Dr. King delivered one of the most impactive American orations of all time. “I have a DREAM!” uttered Dr. King. And I pledged to keep that dream in my heart for as long as I should live. In less than a year the water fountains and restrooms of the nation’s capitol, and every other public facility in the land, would legally belong to black Americans. But racism did not end there. Not long ago, a young selfacclaimed racist from South Carolina, talked his way into a black church and opened fire on the congregation which had welcomed him. The shooter had

posted pictures of himself on the Internet with a Confederate flag in the background. The cry went out to take down the Confederate flag in front of South Carolina’s capitol. Our President joined the noise, calling for the flag to be pulled down. With Dr. King’s message still burning in my heart, I felt no victory when the flag was retired. Let me explain. I was a terrible student. My parents and even my teachers couldn’t believe that I was as stupid as my grades indicated. When I got to high school, as an experiment, I was put in a two-year, advanced placement history course, that departed radically from the “history” taught to other students. The course was taught by iconoclastic teachers that looked hard for skeletons in the closet and examined the “why” as much as the what, when, where and who. If we don’t always believe our President, we do tend to believe what we were taught in school, whether it is fact or fiction. If you doubt this, try this on: On Nov. 19, 1863, as the dirt settled on 50,000 graves from one battle at Gettysburg, President Lincoln, began another great American oration. “Four score and seven years ago,” spoke the President, “our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal …” Subtract 87 from the year 1863 and you arrive at 1776. Who was the first President of that emerging nation? We are taught in school to answer George Washington. But the

Continental Congress was the federal body that bound the 13 seceding colonies to their one fate. The President of that body which drafted the Declaration of Independence was John Hancock, which is why his is the first signature on the document. But before him was the first president of the seceding nation who was Peyton Randolf. This new nation had half a dozen presidents before George Washington took office in 1789. In my alternative class, I was taught that war is almost always based on economic issues and that moral and ethical issues are ornaments adorning The Beast. I was taught that HISTORY is CONTINUED on page 13

Peninsula College – Forks presents documentary Meet two energetic high school science teachers who, on a whim, decided to enter their high school, a Title I school where most of the students live in poverty, into a sophisticated underwater robotics competition sponsored by NASA and the Office of Naval Research, among others. Only four signed up, but they accomplished something no one thought was possible, and in the process, forged a legacy. This is not just a story; it tells who they were, who they are and who they became as a result. Join Peninsula College at Forks, 481 S. Forks Ave., for a screening of the documentary about their journey, “Underwater Dreams,” at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 25, at the Forks campus. The event, hosted by PC at Forks, Upward Bound and the Longhouse, is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Deborah Scannell at 374-3223 or dscannell@pencol.edu.

I’ve had two big spiritual moments over the last year. The first came in August when I grappled with the question we all get, “Have you read all of the Bible?” If you’re like me, you WANT to say yes but then I’ve never been sure as to what I’ve read hundreds of times and what has slipped by me. In August I began to read ALOUD from Genesis at a pace of 10 chapters a day (unless the book was smaller or it ended) and now I find myself finishing Revelation. I have received an incredible about of healing and joy from this experience and have “rediscovered” many books that I should have been giving much more time to. My second big spiritual moment was attending the UCC annual conference in Spokane during the end of April. I was pretty concerned that I was going to get there and find that I either didn’t like the people or would feel like they were snooty. Instead I found a lot of faith-filled people with a world of different experiences and ideas that were all interesting and beneficial to our congregation and me personally. It was a life-changing

event. It hasn’t been that long since I wondered what it meant to be in the United Church of Christ, felt isolated from it in Forks and disconnected from the church world around us. Now I am comfortable and challenged that our congregation has an important mission and role not only in Forks but as a member of our denomination on the whole. Simply put, each and every one of can make a difference in our church, our community, our region and through our denomination reaching into the whole world. Yes, I realize that this sounds like something you have heard before. Following the lead of Jesus Christ and learning from the excellent words and outreach from Pastor Warren Johnson, however, this ability to make a difference is becoming crystal clear to me and I can see and feel the difference this faith is making in me and my life. Sundays are a real blessing at the First Congregational Church of Forks but the church is far more active than just Sunday and there are not only things going on much of the time but there are things that can go on and great times to be had for anyone

that is active in the life of the church. Wherever you are at on life’s journey you are welcome with us. If you are hurting or lonely, you have a home here. If you have talents and are feeling under-appreciated, you have a home here. If you are happy and everything is wonderful, you have a home here. If you haven’t been by church for a while, come and visit. We’re here to pray with you and share your joys and comfort you through your challenges. Please come and see the many changes to the building and the projects that are moving along for this year. The annual meeting is on Sunday, Jan. 31. If you are a member of the church, please attend and join us. If you attend our church but aren’t yet a member, come and join us, too. You might not get the opportunity to vote yet but I guarantee great food, good fellowship and the chance to learn about what is going on in the church. If you have ideas or topics that you would like to see discussed please forward them to me. I look forward to seeing you! Yours in Christ, Board Moderator Bryon Monohon

Going off the Grid greenhouse. The tree is not going to produce any fruit because it sprouted from the root stock and if it were to produce fruit, it would not be too tasty. The greenhouse and chicken coop look much better. There still are sticker bushes in between the two structures but the thorny demons are cut way back … until I get after them again. We also started clearing some of the brush, sticker bushes and extra-long grass away from the other fruit bearing trees so we can start the pruning on them. They have been producing fruit for a number of years now. We have eight apple trees, six cherry trees, six plum trees and six pear trees. The raspberry bushes have gone crazy and have decided to grow wherever they wanted. The red currant bushes need a little love as well. We sadly only have three blueberry bushes (we need more) and unfortunately have about four

acres of Himalayan blackberries (There is so much wine to be made and I guess jam). I started thinking about having a vineyard since we have the four acres of blackberries. I was saying how we should make all this wine and sell it! Ed shot me down real quick as he rubbed his beard, “Jaymi, we can’t do that because it’s called bootlegging.” If you know Ed, he rubs his beard when he doesn’t want to tell someone that they are being ridiculous. Our bee boxes were destroyed by the marauding bear that is no longer with us. We have the material to build two new boxes but still lack the bees. The triple bunk beds are basically done. We just need to put the “face” of the outside on, decorate them and add a couple of 2x2s for the railing. The girls are so excited. They have been climbing all over them and jumping onto the bed down below. Phil and I got to spend some time together away from the farm this weekend. We dropped the girls off at my mother’s house in Port Angeles and drove off to Silverdale. We checked into our hotel, watched a little TV, turned on all the lights at

and were not indentured servants. “Our fathers” (at least the ones drafting our Constitution) were land and slave owners. What war was based on the slavery issue? Most of us answer, the Civil War. But I was taught that our war for independence from England was based on resistance to the Intolerable Acts, among which were royal fiat prohibiting slavery in the New World and forbidding settlement east of the Appalachian crest (which was the Crown’s attempt to spare Native America from exactly what happened.) Every soldier in the Continental Army was promised “two healthy Negroes” and 160 acres in Ohio (Indian Country). Without using the word “slave,” the U.S. Constitution says that if a human property runs from his owner, he is still a slave wherever he turns. The U.S. Constitution says that every five Negros equals three WE THE PEOPLE for representation in Congress (but the right for blacks to vote would not be won until 1870 with the 15th Amendment.) The war with Mexico was about slavery. American ranchers moved into Texas, (Mexico) in spite of a treaty prohibiting such. Interloping ranchers came with their slaves. Mexico, and the rest of the world, found slavery repugnant decades before we “in the land of the free.” We provoked a war with Mexico and walked away with the

whole of the Southwestern Continent, which we opened to slavery. Books have been written on the subject of what caused the War Between the States. Some very smart people believe that slavery was the underlying issue. But I was taught by very smart people that it was the Confederacy wanting to sell cotton, whiskey and tobacco directly to Europe without a tariff being imposed by a U.S. Congress that was dominated by the populated North — even with the 5/3 rule allowing them to count slaves as populace. In March of 1861, to preserve the Union, President Lincoln supported Congressman Corwin’s amendment which would protect the institution of slavery in all states at issue. Though Abraham Lincoln loathed slavery, his own wife, Mary Todd, was from a slave-owning family and he doubted his own ability to end it. As the Civil War raged, President Lincoln wrote Horace Greeley, “If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.” About the same time, President Lincoln issued The Emancipation Proclamation which only liberated slaves in the Confederacy, continuing to allow slavery in three states in the Union. The 13th Amendment, disallowing slavery

Part 5: A Productive Week

By Jaymi Goetze

I would love to tell everyone that we fixed our pump/well issue, but we haven’t. We did however learn our well was 90 feet with 52 feet of water! So our well is not dry but the pump is not working correctly … I mean, it is nine years old. It’s only holding 5-10 pounds of pressure then failing. No big deal, everyone stays clean and hydrated. It has been a pretty productive week. I strapped Daphne to my back, grabbed Harper by the hand and headed out to the orchard to take care of some sticker bushes while Phil and Ed figured out the depth of the well. I cut and cut at those darn bushes for a couple of hours. They were woven in and out of the chicken coop and the greenhouse. Phil took care of a plum tree that was grafted onto an apple tree that had made itself a nice little barrier in front of the CHIGGERS, from page 4 written by the victors. It seems to be the case in the War Between the States. Most of us believe, as President Obama seemed to be saying, that the Confederate flag is intrinsically linked to the slavery and oppression of Afro-Americans. But slavery existed on this continent even before the arrival of European Americans. Shortly after arriving in the New World, we European Americans experimented with making slaves out of the indigenous people already here and, at the time, in abundant supply. But the Indians proved incorrigibly free spirited. While we were still colonies, Boston became the hub of the slave trade. In terms of stilling the human spirit, there’s nothing like a boat ride, chained to the floor in your own excrement, with people dying next to you, hungry and thirsty, longing for your home and family. Negroes arriving from Africa were better slave material than the recalcitrant Indians, who, as you will remember, ended up in concentration camps euphemistically called “reservations.” By 1776, Boston, Mass., was where to go to get you a slave. The “new Nation” that was brought forth upon this continent, led the world in the slave trade. WE, THE PEOPLE, were not women, were not First Americans, were not Afro Americans

once and headed out to get some shopping done for Harper and Riyan’s birthdays. We had a couple dinners because how can you just pick one place?

The next day we were worn out from city life and hurried back to our girls and farm. The rain welcomed us back. It was very pleasant to get back home.

in the United States, did not occur until after the assassination of “the Great Emancipator.” I think it is an ethical mistake to vilify the Confederacy for a skeleton that is in the closet of every white American. If we are going to tear down the Confederate flag, then why not throw the flag of Massachusetts onto the heap and climb onto it ourselves? And for all the moral outrage we seem to feel about how AfroAmericans were treated, let’s look closer to home. Chinese were brought to the Olympic Peninsula at the dawn of the 20th century to build Fort Worden, a job at least as cruel as picking cotton. The fort was built and the Chinese let go to starve. They established gardens to feed themselves and were successful enough to sell a little produce. Local farmers rallied to beat up the Chinese and burn their homes and gardens. Name an ethnic group immigrating to the U.S. and you have corresponding derogatory names

to dehumanize them. For a melting pot of immigrants with only a smattering of red blood left on the continent, we sure do a great job of distrusting and stiff-arming refugees. AND WE’RE DOING IT AGAIN RIGHT NOW! On Aug. 28, 1963, when I was 13 years old, I made a vow that I intended to keep for life. What business of mine is it what flag flies on the grounds of South Carolina’s capitol? The flag that I vowed to protect flutters from my heart. It is the dream of which Dr. King spoke. It is the American Dream. It’s easier to blame others for racism than to deal with it in ourselves. But, it is my personal responsibility to keep my heart free of prejudice and hatred. I still struggle with this. I look forward to a day when I, and the country I love and call home, are free of these moral encumbrances. A day when I am … “Free at last, free at last! Thank God Almighty I am free at last!” Thank you Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Reach

Chatting Around the Campfire

Part 1:

Outdoor Resolution Truth By Duane Miles For underachieving end of the year resolutionists, the distraught fear of making yet another set of New Year’s resolutions has been known to cause forms of both paranoia and delusionary thinking, thence a “word” in this sentence which doesn’t appear in any dictionary. The actual person who penned the previous opening statement wishes to remain anonymous. However, as that person continues to share information in this article, the following words contain words worth pondering. Just as from the brilliant minds of some philosophers who emphatically state that there is no such thing as truth, ordinary folks sometimes go contrary to the common beginning of the year cultural practice of making resolutions by resolving to have nothing more to do with such a thing any more. You are no doubt thinking that the person who

wrote the previous sentence must be crazy. For what do these two concepts have in common? Aren’t they both paradoxes? For in regard to truth, to anchor oneself to the position that there is no truth in our world, would ironically be an admission that this one thing is indeed, true. And to go against the cultural norm by resolving not to make any resolutions, would likewise be a statement in opposition to the intended position. Are we thinking too much here? Perhaps, however, with the two topics of truth and resolutions now side by side, one other thing is absolutely

what’s NEXT from

true about New Year’s resolutions for many of us; setting grandiose goals often leads to default and occasional stress by year’s end. Especially if the goal was something like saving 25 percent of one’s income and also to travel to ever nation on earth while still working 40 hours for 52 weeks. Instead, it’s more practical to do such goals in much smaller increments, certainly in regard to vacations. Therefore, one could limit one year’s vacation quota to include a trip to Raqqa, Syria, followed by a respite while archery hunting for grizzly bears in the Yukon province of Canada. Still not taking responsibility

for anything written herein, this column writer now draws your attention to the case history of a fellow who had several unfulfilled 2015 resolutions as late as Christmas Day. I talk to this fellow every day so I know how frustrated he was about this. This frustration existed even though he had attain several major goals that year; goals such as staying in good health, hiking over the low divide from the Elwha to the Quinault and to Hee Haw creek on the

Queets, for instance. Before year’s end, some minor goals finally were met. These goal achievements alleviated some of this fellow’s anxiety just before time ran out. The beach photo with this story was taken at Ruby Beach. The story connected to this photo — a story about a fulfilled goal — will be told next time. May light for your feet guide you on the path of life until we meet again.
