PORT TOWNSEND — George Maynard served in the Navy during the Cold War and has spent the intervening years recovering from the experience. “A lot of people saw what I saw and did what I did,” said Maynard, 74, a Port Townsend resident.

“I had a bad time and got so screwed up I could barely talk.” During his time as a submariner, Maynard participated in nuclear tests, culminating in one in which his submarine dispatched a torpedo that he said sent a sub full of Russian mariners to a watery grave. When he returned to the United States, Maynard spent time in a psychiatric hospital, attempting to deal with the impact of the occurrence. But he got little substantial help, he said.

PORT ANGELES — The newly formed Olympic Peninsula Collaborative will get down to business before the end of the year on discussing how forestry and environmental groups can agree to increase the Olympic National Forest timber harvest. U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer, whose 6th Congressional District includes Clallam and Jefferson counties, last week announced the formation of the 16-member collaborative, which includes such diverse interests as the Wild Olympics Gallant Campaign, Simpson Lumber Co., the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society, the American Forest Resource Council and the Olympic Forest Coalition. The collaborators hope to meet by Dec. 31, said Stephen Carter, Kilmer’s spokesman, in an email. “This next meeting will be where many of the decisions about next steps will be made,” Carter said. “Questions about structure, decisionmaking, any additional staff or funding and other logistics will be discussed then. “Meetings up to this point have been designed to develop the goals that were announced and to talk in general terms about how to achieve those goals,” Carter said. “The next steps are to go from goals to specific projects.”
Discussion points Discussion points will include finding ways to explore opportunities for the Forest Service “to operate more efficiently and do more with less, or to identify ways to provide increased funding,” Carter said. Ideas being floated include hiring outside contractors to supplement work being done by the Forest Service and using stewardship contracts that would allow the agency to retain receipts from timber sales, Carter said.
