Breedlove out of the Hospital Terry Breedlove, the Clallam Bay Corrections officer that was injured in an attack on Jan. 25 at CBCC, was released from Forks Community Hospital on Wednesday, Feb 3. Breedlove is recovering at his mother’s home in Forks. In a phone interview on Monday, Joanne Spaulding, Breedlove’s mother, said he still is having headaches and a few other problems. “He doesn’t remember many of the people that came to visit hime in the hospital,” she said, and added that he has received great support from his co-workers. Breedlove is able to have company but Spaulding says too much activity causes his headache to return. Spaulding added, “Terry would like to thank everyone for all the support and all the food!” Breedlove is scheduled to see a neurologist on April 1, but his mother is hoping it will be sooner.

TOUR PENINSULA IN STOLEN CARS Two Seattle youths, aged about 15, rode from Seattle to Aberdeen, from Aberdeen to Port Angeles and back again to Aberdeen Monday in a stolen car relay, deserting each vehicle as it ran out of gas, and stealing another to continue their journey. The local car stolen belonged to Reverend A.S. Ford. It was taken while the family was at supper and was deserted this side of Lake Quinault, when the gasoline supply gave out. Each of the cars was a different make, according to (Deputy) W.E. Hollenstein, and although there were articles of value in some of the cars nothing was stolen from them. The boys, after an efficient bit of cooperation on the part of law enforcement officials in the various localities, were picked up in Aberdeen by the Aberdeen/Hoquiam detective division, as they ended their tour. All the cars were recovered within one day of the thefts. The youths will be tried in Seattle. 18:57 Civil 530 BOGACHIEL WAY 19:13 Trespass 400 Block S FORKS AVE 20:38 Follow Up N FORKS AVE Total Calls on 02/02/2016: 17 CALLS ON 02/03/2016 Time Detail 07:10 911 Hangup 09:46 Trespass 500 Block S FORKS AVE

THE REAL FORKS Best Week Ever!
By Christy Rasmussen-Ford
How was your week last week? That’s good or I’m sorry to hear that … which ever applies. I had a fabulous week! To start it all off, I won employee of the year at my day job (night job really). As they say, everything has a price. As it turns out, getting employee of the year cost me exactly $51. Ha ha, just kidding! I actually think the powers that be gave it to me because they are happy that I (very intentionally) never mention where I work by name in my column. This isn’t necessarily to keep the business a secret either. I love working there and I am not just saying that to win employee of the year. No, I don’t mention it by name because I like to keep both jobs separate. Of course, some of you know where I work because you have been there and noticed me. One woman noticed me and asked if I was related to the lady who writes a column in the Forks Forum. This was a super hard question to answer by the way. Is one related to themselves? I think so, but I asked if she liked the column before I answered, “Yes. I am related.” I didn’t want to claim any part of it if she hated my column. Things just continued getting better as the week progressed. The next day, on my way to work, I followed five cars who apparently were out for a Sunday drive … on a Tuesday. After a few miles of driving seven miles an hour (occasionally speeding up to eight miles an hour), I said to myself, “Please let this insanity end!” Then, as if the universe was on my side, they ALL turned off to go to the rain forest. Though I was obviously not there to witness the parting of the Red Sea, I imagine my scenario was just as, if not more, exciting. Also last week, after starting a diet that has been successfully curing epilepsy for years, I tried on my “skinny pants” (the kind of pants that every woman keeps JUST IN CASE she ever loses weight). After holding onto my skinny pants for a short time (13 years to be exact), they are now officially my “fat pants” (the kind of pants every woman keeps JUST IN CASE the worst case scenario happens). Also, as a small added benefit, I haven’t had any seizures, even the mini ones that I used to have almost daily! Best of all though, last week, I received my first check from my book! I had to wait a while for it, which was a bummer because I wrote it when I was out of work with intentions of using the proceeds to get us through that time. Though the check came two months after I went back to work, it was still exciting! Since I know you’re all wondering, I will tell you how much I made … exactly $51.

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. 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.

Commentary
Forks City Council selects new member
By Christi Baron, editor
The Forks City council meeting got underway promptly at 7:30 p.m., Monday. The meeting started with public comment. Birdie James had several comments; one about the new LED lighting that shines into her living room and another about some of the curbing downtown that seems dangerous. Public works director Paul Hampton told James he would look into her concern and maybe the light could be shaded. The curb question was to be referred to the Department of Transportation as city attorney Rod Fleck pointed out the curbing was done to ADA specifications. Lissy Andros reported that new banners have gone up downtown. The banners were funded by a grant. Dave Youngberg suggested that the city needs to clarify to citizens what ATVs are legal on Forks streets, as many illegal ones are being driven around the city. Mayor Bryon Monohon then addressed those in attendance as the process to fill the vacant city council seat got underway. The mayor said six candidates showed interest and four were present at the meeting. He prefaced the selection by saying the process would not be a negative reflection on the candidates if they were not chosen. He said the job was a big commitment with many meetings to attend, budgets to study and decisions to make. With four members currently on the council, the mayor said if needed, he would cast a vote for a tie breaking decision. The candidates told a little about themselves: Kenneth Ayers — Retired from the Air Force, moved here from Hawaii in May but has been coming to Forks for many years. He said his background
would be beneficial to the city and he was eager to serve the city. Sarah Warner — Currently employed at First Federal, formerly worked at Forks Abuse and teaches Zumba at the Forks Athletic Club. Her community involvement includes Soroptimists and Relay for Life. Stina Kohout — Ran for city council against John Preston. She has a passion for government and has lived in Forks four years. She is involved with the Elks and the PTO. She feels more needs to be done in the schools about drug awareness. Joe Soha — Has lived in the Forks area his entire life and is invested in the community. He has been involved with the Lions Club and served on the Planning Commission. He would love the opportunity to serve the people of Forks. The candidates then answered questions that they had received from Councilman Bill Brager prior to the start of the meeting. Several other questions and comments followed. The four sitting council members then had the difficult decision of deliberating about the candidates in front of them. Several times Brager jokingly asked if anyone wanted to drop out so as to make the decision easier. None took the offer. Council member Preston stressed the amount of time that is involved. Council member Juanita Weissenfels commented that she was impressed with Sarah Warner and that her gender and youth would bring a different perspective to the council. Council member Hillcar said he would not vote for her because of gender but that her youth did bring a different
demographic. Preston thanked Kohout and Soha for being there and encouraged both if they were not selected, to please consider running in the next election. Brager then cast his vote for Ayers, who he had encouraged to try out for the position. Preston agreed and said Ayers’ knowledge would be of great benefit to the council. The mayor then called for a vote and Ayers was selected. The mayor thanked all for “stepping up.”

PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)/Finding of No Practicable Alternative (FONPA) for Coastal, Open Ocean, and Tropical Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) Training near Forks, Washington and Tillamook, Oregon
The U.S. Air Force (USAF) announces the availability of a Draft EA for proposed coastal, open ocean, and tropical SERE training near Tillamook, Oregon and Forks, Washington. The Draft EA was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Council on Environmental Quality regulations, and U.S. Air Force instructions implementing NEPA.

RED CROSS, CLALLAM COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT #5 PARTNER TO PROMOTE FIRE SAFETY With home fires as a large disaster threat facing families in Clallam Bay, the American Red Cross has joined up with Clallam County Fire District #5 to conduct fire safety activities. Clallam County Fire District #5, a valued partner of the Red Cross, will have volunteers go door-to-door in local neighborhoods on Saturday, March 12, to install smoke alarms, discuss fire safety and distribute fire safety information to local residents. Every year, the Red Cross responds to about 70,000 disasters across the country — and more than 90 percent are fire-related. When a home fire or other disaster occurs, the American Red Cross provides food, shelter, comfort and hope to meet the immediate needs of those affected. “Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in home fires by half,” said Leah Kruc, Disaster Preparedness and Response coordinator, Red Cross Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas Chapter. “As a part of our work to prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies, the Red Cross and its partners are educating the community and providing vital information on
fire safety and the importance of maintaining working smoke alarms. We are thrilled to have the support of Clallam County Fire District #5 to help us carry out this life-saving service.” If you live in the Clallam Bay area and are interested in having smoke alarms installed in your home on Saturday, March 12, contact: Fire Capt. Martin Rausch at 360-640-0077. The last day to sign up for this service is Friday, Feb. 26. Reducing deaths and injuries from home fires goes beyond the means of any one organization. It is a national problem that needs a collaborative solution. “We have an opportunity to make a change in our community in our partnership with the American Red Cross. We’re committed to working together to make a dent in home fire deaths and injuries,” said Patricia Hutson, fire chief. THIRD ANNUAL ALL 70S REUNION PLANNED Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 23, for the third “Decade of the 1970s” Forks High School class reunion. The Forks Elks will be hosting this event, at their lodge, 941 Merchant Road, as a fundraiser to support the lodge and its many worthwhile activities and charities. The cost will most likely be $20 per person, If you are coming, respond to the “Third Annual FHS All ’70s Reunion” Facebook page or to 360-6402132, so that organizers have a good head count for the Elks as to how much food they will need to provide. If you graduated a little before 1970 or after 1979, you also are welcome!! More details will follow.

The Draft EA describes the U.S. Air Force’s proposal to continue to conduct coastal and open ocean SERE training for 6 days twice per year on the Bayocean Peninsula in Tillamook, OR under permits issued by Tillamook County, Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Oregon State Parks; and tropical training for 5 days twice per year near Forks, Washington under permits issued by Washington Department of Natural Resources, Olympic National Forest, and Rayonier Lumber. SERE training provides USAF aircrew members with SERE skills to avoid capture during times of conflict and high risk of isolation. Training activities consist mainly of land navigation, camping, and natural materials gathering and do not include use of live-fire weapons or tracked vehicles. The Proposed Action also includes ground and helicopter transport to and between training areas, and raft launches on the Calawah, Sol Duc, and Hoh rivers in the Forks, Washington, area.

Spartans keep season alive! Down by as many as 10 points in the second half the Forks boys basketball team rallied and beat the Montesano Bulldogs 69-63 in overtime to keep their season alive. Although the playoffs do not start until Feb. 12, the Spartans found themselves in a playoff game. If they won, they moved on, if they lost the season was over. The win put the Spartans into fourth place in league and clinching the last position into the district tournament. They now will visit the TriCo league champion King’s Way Christian. “We didn’t do a lot of the things that we talked about or wanted to do, but the one thing that we didn’t do that saved us was give up. There was never a moment of give up in our kids. A lot of that is credited to the fans,” said Rick Coach Gooding. “That is what a high school basketball game should feel like. It was electric! Our kids fed off it so much, especially in the 4th quarter and overtime. Our fans didn’t give up on us so we couldn’t give up! We talked about how we didn’t want to play 5 on 5, we wanted to play 500 on 5 and make our fans part of the game. They picked us up and brought the energy! That is the advantage of being a Spartan!” Gooding added. Parker Browning, who led all scorers with 22 points, hit two big 3-pointers in the 4th quarter to get the rally

started. Trailing 57-55 late in the game, Jeffrey Schumack chipped in 8 points but the biggest two were when he hit a turnaround floater with three-seconds left in regulation to tie the game and force overtime. “Jeffrey has really been working on a floater and short range jump shots, kudos to him for putting in the extra work and having the ability to hit a big shot when it matters. When you are prepared you are confident,” said Gooding. Montesano inbounded the ball with 3 seconds left and attempted to throw a full
court pass but according to Gooding, “The defensive back in Cole Baysinger came out and he was making sure no one from Montesano was getting the basketball. I think he may have run over one of our own players, but he made a huge play on the ball and spiked it out of there, that was huge!” Baysinger picked up play in the post scoring 12 while teammate Marky Adams had to sit much of the first half due to foul trouble. “Cole was huge in this game, Monte is an athletic fast team, having a versatile kid like Cole that

Even though he was limited in the first half due to fouls, Forks’ big man Marky Adams finished the game with 15 points, 13 of which were in the 2nd half and overtime and had a “ton of rebounds and blocked shots” as usual according to Gooding.

Lone senior Austin Pegram was honored after the game with his parents Shane and Gretchen Pegram. “I couldn’t have asked for a better senior game. Thank you,” said Pegram. The Spartans would thank all of the Spartan faithfuls that have been cheering them on all year. “Our fans are so awesome. We have not been to a gym yet this year that the fans compare to ours.

Matters of the Heart
By Christi Baron
It is Valentine’s Day this Sunday. A day when thoughts find their way to matters of the heart, this story deals with matters of the heart, the appendix, the broken arms, the stitches, the sports physicals, the sore throats, the births, the deaths and innumerable medical needs of the residents, usually humans but sometimes animals, of the West End. A few years ago the late Diane Schostak put two words on the Forks Facebook page, they were “Doc Leibold.” Almost 80 comments later the memories of Doc’s patients were heartwarming. Some can’t be repeated here, if you knew Doc you will know why, but a few will be shared in this column. Edwin F. Leibold served as a doctor in the Coast Guard in La Push in 1943 and the next year on a Navy vessel in the Aleutians. In 1947, he and his wife settled in Forks where he began his medical practice. Most of Dr. Leibold’s patients still can remember sitting in the waiting room at his office on the main street, the Regulator clock pendulum ticking, the Norman Rockwell prints on the wall and Doc’s booming voice calling out orders to nurses Lee Merrick and Bev Borde. The same was true of waiting in the emergency room — you could hear him way before you could see him — and heaven help you if you had been injured doing something stupid because he would tell you what you had done was foolish. Theresa Parker recalls Doc writing her mother a prescription on his prescription pad for one automatic dishwasher to remedy itchy hands due to detergents. Her mother got the dishwasher and Parker still has the prescription. Doc also brought Parker in to this world but he wasn’t happy about the timing, her mother had gone into labor at 3 a.m., and he was going clam digging at 5 a.m., so he arrived in his clam digging gear and let her have it all through the delivery that he had told her to stay home because he had plans. Emmi Noble remembers that she would be given a choice of a shot or pills; she always took shots because she got a sucker. When she was a teenager and sprained an ankle she went to see Doc. After he worked her ankle over she asked if she could go hiking, he said “Put your pack on and haul a**, kid. Have fun, it’ll be fine.” Jacqueline Nelson had to get stitches in the back of her leg when she was a child and when she didn’t hold still, Doc gave her a swat on the behind. She straightened up and the stitching was completed; when she got home she discovered Doc had not only stitched up her leg, as a joke he had stitched the front flap of her culottes to her shorts. Former Forks resident Gary Bull said, “He was gruff, but he had a huge heart. I judge every doctor I have had against him and only a couple have come close.” When my husband was in the hospital one hot August in traction, Doc asked what he needed to be more comfortable. My husband said a beer in the afternoon would be great and imagine his surprise when Doc had the nurse get a six-pack and prescribed one beer each day at 4 p.m. He delivered over 800 babies and provided much of the medical care in the Forks area throughout his long career. In 1966, he joined the Volunteer Physicians for Vietnam program and spent his tour of duty working in a provincial hospital in Nihau Tran, 200 miles northeast of Saigon. Dr. Leibold retired in 1986 and died in December 2006. Dr. Leibold prescribed tough love, medicine, automatic dishwashers and beer and he always will have a permanent place in the hearts of the residents of the West End. Pam Nelson, of Forks, ran across these valentines from 1943. They were given to her father, Allen Klahn, when he was a school While heart disease is commonly dismissed as a man’s student in Forks and had been saved in disease, it is actually the leading killer of women in this a scrap book. One of the valentines country, claiming more female lives than all forms of cancer combined. Even though it kills one in three women was from Edna Mouncer aka each year – approximately one woman every minute – Edna Leppell.

FEBRUARY IS AMERICAN HEART MONTH IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE SIGNS, CALL 9-1-1 AND GET TO A HOSPITAL RIGHT AWAY.
HEART ATTACK SIGNS IN WOMEN: ❤ Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back. ❤ Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. ❤ Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort. ❤ Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness. ❤ As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain.

The Lost Cabin
Thursday, Feb. 11, 2016 • 15
History from the pages of the Forks Forum June 1, 1939 Editors note: Finding a deserted cabin in the woods is something that would not happen very often today, but in 1939 the possibility was a good one. Many people came to homestead and found the hard life was just too much and they just up and left. Here is a story about a couple of guys that found a cabin south of Forks and shared the interesting story with the Seattle Times.
Find Deserted Shack Abandoned and lost since the beginning of the century, a shack in the cedar swamp south of the Forks Shingle Mill was found a few weeks ago by Herman Smith and Eugene Case. Pictures of the two men and the shack, and pictures of old newspapers found there were taken by Ray Goss and reproduced on Sunday’s Seattle Times. Hearing about the place, Ward Hatfield and Ed Hamilton went a couple of weeks ago and retrieved some more newspapers, all dated
1902, and some copies of the Broadway Magazine, a theatrical publication. None of the magazines were dated but appeared also to be from around 1902. As the Sunday Times commented, in those years supplies to the region came by boat from Seattle to Clallam Bay, then by crude wagon road to Forks. “Beyond Forks there were only dim trails.” One of the papers brought out by Mr. Hatfield was a San Francisco Examiner of Aug. 7, 1902. King Edward, it was reported, was to be crowned two days later, and was to undergo an appendectomy soon afterwards. The newspaper, in the display ads, showed wasp-waisted suits and monstrous hats, and the nattiest long underwear for women. The Broadway Magazine showed pictures of Ethel Barrymore, who was playing in “Carrots”; John Drew in “The Mummy and the Humming Bird”; Lillian Russell and Willie Collier in “Whirly-Twirly”; Mrs. Patrick Campbell in “The Second Mrs. Tanqueray”; and pictures were also shown of Edna Wallace-Hopper and Marie Dressler, of whom it

Going off the Grid Part 8: Sunroom Makeover
By Jaymi Goetze Last week’s article was full of about 300 swear words (you guys couldn’t see them) because I continued my minimelt down into the following week. I did search franticly for a new house in town but no luck. When I got home that night I was immediately uplifted by a letter from a teacher in San Antonio, Texas, who is following my story; telling me that some classes were studying alternative energy and would like to know if I could send a letter and pictures to the students. OF COURSE, I WILL! I put some really good thought into what I could tell a bunch of fourth- and fifthgraders. Now I have it in my head that I’m going to travel around, speaking to schools about solar power and growing your own food! Since I have been off grid, my wardrobe consists of sweat pants, hoodies, a robe and rain boots. Nothing new, I know … Picture this: Me standing on my porch in my sweats, rain boots, big shirt and robe with gun in hand, firing it at coyotes. Just kidding, it was
Phil firing the gun off into the night to scare off the coyotes. They are getting really brave. Barking and howling about 50 yards from our house, taunting the dogs to come out. Last night they started yipping about 7:30. Normally I hear them in the field between midnight and 3 a.m. Jake still wants to play with them. I can picture him kangarooing around the coyotes and them taking little nibbles out of his face. If they don’t stop, I might call in the damn firing squad. It’s getting to that time where we should start getting some seeds so we can get our starts going. We also should stop messing around and get our act together with the entire farm.

“Stolen Valor” Dear Editor: Re: the letter in last week’s Forum: Now there’s something about “stolen valor” going around on the Internet. First of all the only people seem whipped up about it are the military fan boys and family members. Secondly, as a vet, I was just the teletype trick chief at Madigan Hospital for a couple years, so I don’t give a big whip. My husband, Dan, who was infantry and then door-gunner in Vietnam, only felt the guy who told us he’d been in Vietnam, when he obviously wasn’t, was a fool. Now the VA has caught up after the big records fire and found us and given us all our little vet cards for some paltry health care, who cares? However: We WOULD like to ask the generals what they’ve done with the trillions of dollars we’ve given them. Just to get Dan’s ear-buzz-
ing seen to, and maybe some potassium for me, when the nerve-gas poisoning is causing episodes. Or put some feet on that kid I saw staggering around in Port Angeles on his ankle bones. Is that too much to ask? Or is one more fighter-bomber toy or pension rank condo in Florida or dinner with a congressman just too tempting? YES, I was a moron volunteer — recruiters lied through their teeth back then and I had the usual patchy rural education and desperation to get out of town — but Dan was drafted. Most of the people sent to Vietnam went against their wills, under all kinds of threats. We were recently just terribly lacking in sympathy when recruiters were committing suicide for not keeping up their quotas for the New Volunteer (Lifer) Army. Aww, poor babies. Donna Barr Clallam Bay

Seeing Through: Chapter 5
A Geocentric World View: Part 2 By Chiggers Stokes Special to the Forks Forum
Let’s engage a thought experiment, on an interstellar journey, to explore the issue of where our EXACT PLACE is in the universe. We will take a trip to our closest stellar neighbor, Proxima, in the Alpha Centauri star cluster, only 4.22 light years away. GPS satellites are only useful here on Earth, so we have to come up with an affordable IPS (interstellar positioning system). Here it is: We will use Pulsars, which are highly magnetized neutron stars that emit regular and huge bursts of radio waves that can be received anywhere in the universe. They pulse with the regularity of an atomic clock. Things get tougher as we try to create the virtual universe with which to program our IPS. I’m assuming you

want to use the model of Earth rotating around our sun that you were taught in school. You just need to download all the current star maps and NASA orbit calculators into your virtual universe. But, since I am pursuing the notion that the universe revolves around Earth, I have to come up with my own star maps. The cluster of Alpha Centauri is not visible from Forks with or without rain. So, to get our target of Proxima on my geocentric star map, I have to go south of the equator. At the equator I make note of the sun, which follows the moon’s path, supporting my theory that the sun revolves around Earth. (Please play along with this to see where we end up.) After a year of observation I notice an about 23.5 degree wobble in the sun’s trajectory, which I identify as the cause of seasons here on earth. Much of my work can be done by pointing a conventional camera at the night sky and leaving the shutter open. The beautiful picture created is a star map with the Earth more or less
in the center of the universe. But the bulls-eye of those concentric circles is around the Southern Cross. What I was expecting to see — what the Catholic Church expected to see looking through Galileo’s eyepiece — were streaks of straight lines, like the sun and moon. I have to plot this night sky for a year because the stars seasonally shift in the sky. In your model this is explained by Earth’s orbit around the sun. Another problem for me is that my cheap telescope has about the same power and resolution as the one that caused Galileo and the Church to bump heads. I can’t distinguish the 100 billion stars in our Milky Way from 10 billion galaxies that look like stars in my telescope. It wasn’t until well into the 20th century that Edwin Hubble discovered galaxies from the, now outdated, Wilson Observatory. Along with this was his discovery of RED SHIFT and the inescapable conclusion that the universe is expanding like a firework in the night sky of the cosmos. Both of us need to calculate inflation
into our logic and the return trip will be slightly further than the first leg. (It would be a much longer return trip if we were flying outside the gravitational field of our galaxy.) Another challenge for my mapping, is that the other seven planets (sorry Pluto) are making wildly divergent arches from the stars, requiring more adjustment than seasonal shift for stars. I plug all my observations into the IPS logic, using the pulsars as reference points. Remember, if the cheap GPS in my car didn’t program in Relativity, within 24 hours, when I punched the GO HOME button, I would be pulling into your driveway instead of my own. Relativity is not science fiction. It has to be programmed into the logic for any G(or I)PS system. Now we face overwhelming technical difficulties. It takes the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva about the same electrical energy as the entire city to accelerate one proton-sized particle to 99 percent the speed of light.

CHIGGERS, from page 17 escapes me, but there are a whole lot of protons in a human being. You need a Geneva sized power plant for each of them! Even with our current glut of energy based on DRILL, BABY DRILL! there is not enough petroleum in our National Reserve to accelerate a human finger to 0.99C. Our application of nuclear energy can’t begin to furnish that level of propulsion. Fun Fact: There is not enough energy in the UNIVERSE for the CERN lab in Geneva to crank up the velocity of one proton from 99 percent C to full light speed. And without something like “worm holes” or other shortcuts across the vastness of time/space, it is still a 8.44 round trip to our target. Who wants to sit in a chair that long? With cancer eating away my insides, I would be another Ferdinand Magellan. I’m not trying to chicken out here, but we need to have a serious discussion about passenger comfort. I’m not talking about leg room. I’m talking about the effect of acceleration. The human body may be able to survive sixteen G’s (zero to 350m/p/h) for onesecond, but to reach a cruis-
Picture by Chiggers’ cellphone
ing speed of 0.99C we will need to endure 12,000 G’s for one month! In the first microsecond they would be pulling pieces of us out of our overstuffed chairs. In the first second, we and the chairs would be one big blob. Unfortunately, at our current level of development and evolution, life and deep space travel don’t mix. I suggest we avoid the perils and boredom of space travel by putting on carefully calibrated chiggoggles and imagining the whole thing. Let’s get our instructions straight so that this is a
fair experiment and we come up with the same results: It’s not a race, it’s a round trip orienteering event to a star 4.22 light years away. We will accelerate for 30 days to the speed of 99 percent C decelerate approaching Alpha Proxima and same thing for the return leg. The goal is to use our independently programmed navigation systems to come back to this EXACT PLACE. You get into your rocket-ship, or onto your recliner chair lashed to a nuclear bomb (who dares say that we in Forks are

not rocket scientists?!) Use your Interstellar Positioning System loaded with the Earth Revolves Around the Sun software. I’m using an IPS that is programmed in the mode that the universe revolves around Earth. We have both programmed Relativity and Inflation into our logic. (Distance = ½ Time x Acceleration) To allow for one month on each end for acceleration and deceleration we add two months to the journey. My math says we will be gone for 3,141.433 days. If it’s OK with you, we’ll round it down to 3,141.4, so that we can wake up 48 minutes early in case we have to pour water on the brakes during re-entry. So, put on your chigoggles and notice there is a SNOOZE button on the lower right hand window. Set snooze for 3,141.4 (unless you already hit it in the second paragraph of this article). We will awaken, alert and refreshed, here at this EXACT PLACE. Any questions? Good! See you in 3,141.433 days. Ready! Set? GOOOOooooooooooo... ***************** ...ooooooOH! Well, here I am back at my home in the Bogachiel Rain Forest, alert and refreshed. I am exactly at the place I left says my IPS. I check my watch and 3,141.433 days have elapsed since I left. But
the calendar on the wall of my home has fallen off the wall. My house, which I told everyone was a 100-year home, is in rubble. Looking around I find the graves of the friends and family I expected to bury me. Decades have passed here on Earth. But, you have bigger problems. 3,141.433 days is 8.6066 years, so if you found your way back to our Solar System, looking for your EXACT place, you are 0.6066 on the wrong side of the sun. But, don’t try to catch Earth as it swings by in five months or so, because the EXACT PLACE you departed from, along with the Solar System you call home is 36.4 billion miles away. If we take the view that the Earth revolves around the sun, then our Solar System moves at 137 miles per second PROPER MOTION in DIFFERENTIAL ROTATION in a 200-million year journey around the central, massive black hole, Sagitarius-A-star, of the Milky Way. So you’ve got a long wait before you can catch the Earth and its sun in their next visit to this neighborhood. I hope you brought a good book or back issues of the Forks Forum. But, let’s get back on Earth on the day, Feb. 10, 2016, and, for the moment, agree to disagree. I have more arguments about the Earth’s so-called orbit around the sun, but they will have to wait for another time. Let’s just enjoy and celebrate the moment, and the place. Come with me for a nice visit to Rialto Beach on this beautiful evening. As we stroll, I take a picture with my cellphone, which is the same device I use for navigating on foot and making the above computations on g-force and interstellar travel time. But, even with a smartphone, I am just the fool on Hemp Hill. Is this a sunset we are enjoying … or is this an earth-spinninground? Please join me next week to continue this discussion and I promise we will resolve the differences in our views on this matter.
