Appelo To Be Honored For Years Of Port Service

Carlton Appelo will be honored for more than 40 years of service to Wahkiakum Port District. 2 on Sunday.

Carlton is a former Grays River Grange Master. He has served on the board since the port district was created in 1967.
Appelo, 89, was recognized as the state's longest serving port commissioner this year at the 100th anniversary of the Washington Association of Public Ports.
Port District 2 is to honor Appelo's years of service to the community by making him an emeritus member of the port board. Appelo still is chief executive officer of the Wahkiakum Telephone Co. and is our area's chief historian.

The celebration will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11 in our hall.

"When Logging Was Logging" Available at Appelo Archives

The Appelo Archives Center has received its long anticipated shipment of their latest book, When Logging Was Logging, 100 years of Big Timber in SW Washington. With both historic black and white photos of early 20th century logging and modern logging shots in color, the book has been very well received by local old time loggers and their families. Bill Wuorinen, 80 year old retired logger in Naselle, said, "This book is great. I read every word and am very pleased with it."

Covering over a century of logging activities from Nemah through the Elochoman, the book features chapters on Deep River Logging, Wirkkalas in the Woods, Gyppo Loggers, Family Camps, Old Time Loggers, Crown Zellerbach, Weyerhaeuser in Grays River, and a final chapter focused on Jerry DeBriae Logging. Martin Nygaard, an old time Oregon gyppo logger, is also  featured in the book because of his years of work in the Salmon Creek area of Naselle.
