Forman is reported in critical condition in St. Peter Hospital in Olympia where he was taken after a traffic accident in which the car he was driving went into Hood Canal Saturday afternoon. Dr. Forman was removed from the car, which was under water, and revived with cardiopulmonary resuscitadon by Mike Smith and Larry Julius. He was taken to Mason General Hospital by ambulance and later transferred to St. Peter Hospital in Olympia. Larry Julius, one of those who gave CPR to Dr. Forman, said he would estimate the doctor was under water between five and a half and six minutes and probably without air for about four minutes. Julius said Dr. Forman was removed from the car by a diver who was diving in the area at the time who was assisted by Smith after he was out of the car. The diver's identity is not known. Julius said a person in the crowd which had gathered assisted in giving CPR until Smith was able to get out of the water and take over. The Washington State Patrol, which investigated the accident, said the car driven by Dr. Forman was southbound on Highway 101 about two miles south of Hoodsport when it went off the road to the right while rounding a curve to the left. The vehicle, the patrol said, ran into a ditch and across a lawn before becomingirbome, striking a concrete guardrail and coming to rest in 15 feet of water in Hood Canal. The accident happened near the Tacoma City Light power plant at Potlatch.

The marchers will start at the Capitol in Olympia a week from this Saturday at 10 a.m. and will "storm the citadel" of the headquarters of the correction center's Adult Corrections Division in downtown Olympia. Barber has solicited the aid of Shelton Mayor James Lowelaj and local mover Clive Troy, among others. Troy, who has directed many Shelton parades in the past, will be coordinating the various service clubs, each of which will be asked to select a candidate for the parade queen: Miss Bureaucracy Whistleblower. The selection committee will meet at the high school this Sunday. A Mason County man angered by what he calls a "corrupt bureaucratic ripoff" at the Washington Corrections Center here is attempting to organize a parade demonstration by way of protest. Robert O. Barber, a retired senior sociologist at the institution, claims recent prisoner escapes there are merely symptomatic of what in fact is a steadily progressing deterioration of system priorities, convict morale and control and, ultimately, community safety. "A predatory bureaucracy has run amuck there," he says, "like a fox in a chicken coop, recklessly and heedlessly destroying vital support systems, the very bone and sinew of an institution. "The Olympia bureaucracy has been fattening on the kill of attritioned jobs - always in the name of economy, of course!" lae goes on. "In fact, however, it has only managed to destroy the line services of the troops while fattening official positions." Barber contends as well that much of the penal activity now has fallen under the control of convicts, with one result being that the parole board members are "hamstrung in their efforts to cope with an increasingly chaotic prison system." To mobilize what he hopes will become a community protest, Barber is promoting a "Mason County Citizens Whistleblow" ceremony, including a Parade, floats - even white hatS for the designated "good guys" among the powers FIREWORKS offshore from Alderbrook Marina brought hundreds of Fourth celebrants to the canal Tuesday night. "F.ANG," Barber's trusty pooch, will lead the "attack." J udge denies injunction sought by teacher group A request by three Grapeview schoolteachers for a temporary injunction against the school district was denied by Superior Court Judge Frank Baker after a hearing in Mason County Superior Court Thursday. The teachers had sought the injunction in connection with a suit filed in court last week in their dispute with the school district over the recognition of and bargaining with the Grapeview Education Association. The school district had issued contracts to the teachers June 15 along with a letter which stated if they did not sign and return the contracts by June 29, the district wouhl assume the contracts had been rejected and would take steps to hire replacement leachers. The Icmporary injunction had been sought to prevent the district from taking that action. The teachers are James Allphin, Fred Anderson and Lee Ann Rykonen. A fourth teacher who is a plaintiff in the suit against the school district, Adele Fisher, was not included in the temporary injunction request because she had signed a previous contract without attaching a rider staling it was subject to negotiations, as the other three had done. School officials said all three of the teachers signed their contracts Thursday after the (Please turn to page two.)
