There were five boys and five girls born to Marien (Barnes) and Lawrence L. Johnson. Four of the Johnson children are still living: Jerry, Darrell, Judy and David, all of them living within ½ mile of each other.

WATERBALLING? Waterball is another word for firemen fun!!
Edina Fire Department team (left) competes against Long Lake Fire Department. No word on who won. Circa 1940’s
With the 15-inch, 16 gauge steel “ball,” usually painted yellow, suspended 10 feet above the teams on a wire/trolley system, two teams try to push it past the other team with fire hoses. The intent of the competition is to provide team participants with the opportunity to practice using nozzles and hose lines in order to increase their fire fighting proficiency. Generally, the more experienced firefighters will do better because they have more experience operating a hose line.
For the first time, Amboy Territorial Days will hold a Water Ball contest for guests, Friday night after the Queen’s Coronation at 7:00pm. Be sure to get a good seat for the fun and excitement. On a hot day there’s always the chance to catch a cool mist from the off-spray of the hoses. The competition will take place at 7:00pm in Waser Arena. The kids will have a lot of fun, it’s safe to be around, it’s fun to watch and it’s FREE. Be sure to checkout Water Balling, Friday night!

BULL OF THE WOODS Joe Zumstein, Jr The Bull of the Woods for 2013, chosen by the Amboy Log Show Committee, is Joe Zumstein Jr. Joe was born in Portland Oregon on December 21st, 1930 and lived in St. Helens Oregon until 1934. The family moved to Woodland Washington in 1934, and they have lived there ever since. Joe’s working career began in 1947 driving a milk truck for his uncle, Kenneth Merz, delivering milk from Longview to the Woodland area. The call of the timber industry came soon thereafter when he began hauling lumber for Hanley & Hunter off of the Dubois Road near the town of Ariel. The lumber was off-loaded at the Port of Vancouver on the dock where the Red Lion Inn at the Quay now stands. Not only was he hauling lumber… the mill was also cutting cross arms for the electric lines which he was delivering to Portland. The only glitch was the weigh scales on Hwy 99 in Hazel Dell which happened to be open one day. The officer told Joe he was too young to be driving Joe Zumstein Jr in an unacross state lines. Joe said, “That was the dated photo admiring a end of that job”! chainsaw.
In 1950 Joe went to work hauling logs for Pop Feris out of Woodland. In 1951 the Korean War broke out and two things happened. Joe enlisted in Navy and also married Cheril Hess in Woodland. Joe was stationed in Guam, San Diego, and Tacoma throughout his enlistment. Following discharge from the Service in 1955, Joe went to work for Clarence Anrys Logging, driving log truck. During Joe’s time in the service his former employer Pop Feris had passed away and his trucks were now up for sale. Wanting to get out on his own Joe purchased one of those trucks; a gas powered Mack, and landed a contract for the Columbia Veneer Company, working on the old 800 line near Mt. St. Helens. He also hauled some for the C.H. Anrys and also the logging contractor, Marenakos (from Randle Washington), who built the USFS 54 Road (Canyon Creek) and the USFS 25 Road to Randle. When Marenakos finished those projects they returned to Randle and bought 10 new trucks of their own ending Joe’s contract with them. So Joe was looking for something to do in 1959 and landed a salvage sale for Harry Balch, logging alder, up off the Dubois Road. At that time he purchased a 977 Caterpillar Traxcavator with log forks to load the truck and there, Joe Zumstein Logging was born. The first big break came when Joe landed a contract salvaging pulp behind Wilson & Sutton. Production increased to the point that another truck was needed.
Buck Creek Logging in Seattle had some used trucks to sell and with a trip up north Joe Zumstein Logging acquired a second truck. Joe continued buying salvage sales and logging small parcels until going to work for Weyerhaeuser Company in 1968. He then purchased a brand new BU-84 Skagit Yarder for that job. Shortly thereafter he bought another BU-84 for a contract to log for International Paper Company out of Chelatchie Prairie. As the company grew, the need came for a shop which was constructed in 1969 in Woodland next to many other logging contractors’ shops in the area. Around 1970 Joe began to notice that it was time consuming and expensive to travel to Longview for supplies such as chokers, line, chain saws, and other items needed for daily operation. So he bought out Bert’s Saw Shop in Woodland and with two partners, in 1971 Woodland Logging Supply was born. Not only was it a full service rigging shop but it became one of the first Stihl dealers in the Pacific Northwest. Joe started another logging supply store in Carson Washington in 1987 but it was closed in 1992 in the shadow of the Spotted Owl. Throughout the 70’s and 80’s, Joe had up to 150 employees. Some of which stayed with the company for over 30 years and others over 40 years. They operated at times, up to 7 logging sides along with road construction crews for USFS (United States Forest Service) sales and for various timber companies. In 1978 Joe had a need for machines to log USFS “span” sales, so two new 739 Skagit Yarders were purchased for contracts with Pope and Talbot. That was over a one million dollar investment, a lot of money back in 1979. The eruption of Mt. St. Helens on May 18th, 1980 took a toll on the company, the same as many other logging companies and loggers faced in the after math of that disaster. But as all loggers do Joe Zumstein and his crew rolled up their sleeves and went to work as many did cleaning up the mess. As the 80’s began, the International Paper Company mill in Amboy was shut down and due to the eruption of Mt. St. Helens the International Paper Co. logging wrapped up throughout the mid -80s. The eruption also put an end to the USFS “span” logging. Weyerhaeuser had suffered huge losses of volume due to the eruption and in 1988 at which time Joe ended 20 years of contracting with them. Un-deterred the family pressed on, changing with the times. As they faced the havoc of the spotted owl they were forced to down-size and modernize their machines. Surviv19
ing both ‘The Blast’ and ‘The Spotted Owl’, Joe Zumstein Logging kept building roads and contract logging, just on a smaller scale. The BU-84s were still working, along with several shovels and a small fleet of log trucks. Joe kept buying USFS sales that of course had gone from big clear cuts of old growth timber to thinning small second growth trees. But as times changed, Joe Zumstein Logging also changed to evolve with the times and outlast many other loggers in the area. Then in 2008, log prices fell to an all-time low and fuel prices soared, with modern machinery the fuel consumption is very high. This lead to Joe and Cheril deciding to end a career and company that had spanned six decades, providing family wage jobs for many local families. Joe and Cheril’s three sons were all active in the company. Darryl ran the road construction crews; Brent logged and did mechanical repairs as well as mechanical cutting, while Joel looked after Woodland Logging Supply. Cheril and daughter-in-law, Sharon, and others tirelessly took care of book keeping and payroll for the company. It was a big job for a company of that size. Woodland Logging Supply was later purchased by Joe’s grandson, Jerrad Nichols and his business partner Chuck Holt. The business has since been re-named to Woodland Saw & Cycle. They are still selling Stihl products and are located in the former Joe Zumstein Logging shop in Woodland.
Congratulations Joe Zumstein, Jr. This years “Bull of the Woods!”

This event just keeps growing and growing! This years racing will be held on Sunday, July 14th with “Time Trials” starting at 1:00pm and the actual racing beginning at 2:00pm. Be sure to get there early as these races draw a large crowd. Lawnmower racing is a motorsport in which competitors race modified, rideon lawnmowers. The original motor is retained, but the blades are removed for safety. The sport attracts all ages and is usually entered into in a spirit of fun rather than extreme competitiveness, though many do take it quite seriously. Since July 1998, Amboy Territorial Days Celebration has hosted its own races and each year it just keeps getting bigger and better. All profits from admission go to help support the local volunteer fire department and the Territorial Days Community Park. A full list of guidelines can be found at the local Amboy Territorial Fire Station.
The Amboy Territorial Days Board of Directors announced its first Children’s Arts & Crafts Fair this year, a new feature for Territorial Days Celebration. Children 16 years of age and younger who reside in SW Washington are invited to submit a maximum of three pieces of work of their own original design. Jim Moreton, pastor of the Amboy Nazarene Church, proposed the idea of the Children’s Arts & Crafts Fair, and the fair committee hopes that the event will encourage children to develop artistic and utilitarian skills. There is no entry fee. The number and types of categories will depend on the number and types of entries received. First, second, and third place winners in each category will be decided by the number of tickets garnered by each piece of work. Tickets will be selling at the door for ten cents each. Entrants are welcome to drum up votes for their work. Suggested items for the Children’s Fair include: Two dimensional artwork: drawings/paintings in oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, pen & ink; prints, collage, photography, etc. Fiber arts: quilts, basketry, clothing, needlework, weaving, rugs, etc. Three dimensional artwork: pottery, glass, jewelry, egg art, leather, woodwork, furniture (small enough to be moved by one person), garden art, gourds, games, etc. Writing: short stories (5 pages maximum), poems, or non-fiction articles, arranged on a backing for display so they can be read. Not accepted will be kits or commercially made items. Older persons may give oral instruction, but may not touch the craft item. Let’s see what kids can do! Rules and entry forms may be downloaded from http://www.tdays.org. Entries for the Children’s Arts & Crafts Fair must be brought to Portable Building B at Territorial Days Park Friday, July 12 between noon and 3PM. The fair will be open Saturday and Sunday, and awards distributed Sunday afternoon. Jane Poole
