What's Cook kn'? Don Leaf returns to familiar territory to share information By MARY DUNCAN ly Foundation property. "There tenance are not extra expenses. Don Leaf is something of a circuit rider, spanning the coun- ty from Shelton to Hoodsport and Lilliwaup, Matlock to North Ma- son and Cranberry Lake, deliv- ering his message about "an ounce of prevention." As continuing education coor- dinator for the University of Washington Sea Grant program, Don is conducting a series of workshops and classes on septic systems. The schedule for "Your Septic System - An Ounce of Prevention" runs though April and the sessions are held throughout the county and at Cranberry Lake Research and Education Center. "They're fairly informal and they're for owners of on-site sep- tic ystems, he says of the class- es. "The underlying reason is  that when people do know more ,,, about their systems, then it's eas- ier to know what to do when they find or observe certain things. .! They can make it work better. : They can avoid things that make them operate more poorly. And : there's a general positive effect if an owner is interested in his on- site system." THOSE WHO ATTEND will learn about the various compo- nents of the system and what they look like when they're working. "That might be pretty mysterious to some people," he continues with a smile. "The bottom line is that when people know about their systems adequately, then they are in a much better position to operate them sanely and monitor them with real intelligence. "People have it," Don empha- sizes. "It's just that in some cases they don't know what to look for." He notes that pumping a septic system is an example of an ac- tion that could be done less fre- quently if the system is moni- tored and only pumped when its ready. "Septic systems, the tanks themselves, work better if there is, in fact, some accumulated material. It's the excess that needs to be pumped out. Only when excess solids are accumu- lated should it be pumped," he ex- AS EDUCATIONAL COORDINATOR for the Sea Grant program, Don Leaf delivers workshops throughout the county on preventing septic system problems. plains. Also knowing where the drainfields and water lines are located is important because, Don says, a leaking water pipe could cause problems for a drainfield. "And where down- spout drains go," he adds to the list of things to know, "because roof drainage and driveway drainage can, in fact, cause problems by saturating that drainfield area." A sept!c-sys- tem problem might not have any- thing to do at all with what goes on inside the house, he adds, but have to do with how lot drainages are arranged. BESIDES THE class sessions, Don conducts workshops at Cranberry Lake, a Frank Fami- Next Thursday evening: Nelson, Snyder, Yake will read their poetry Three poets whose work is fea- tured in the recent anthology Least-Loved Beasts of the Really Wild West will read in Shelton next Thursday evening. Jo Nelson, Laura Snyder and Bill Yake will read at 7 p.m. Feb- ruary 25 in Saint David's Hall as part of the series sponsored by Olympic Poets and Writers Work- shop. None of the three is a stranger to local parts. Jo Nelson was Writer in Residence in the Hood Canal School District earlier in the '90s, has been published in numerous literary magazines and anthologies, and teaches creative writing at Tacoma Community College, Gig Harbor. She last read in the Shelton reading series in 1996. Laura Snyder, whose writing career has been on the ascent since she turned to poetry in 1994 and won Pacific Northwest Writers Conference poetry hon- ors, has studied with such lumi- naries as Robert Michael Pyle and Pattiann Rogers. Recently, she was fatured on the air read- ing hr poetry on KUOW Radio. She also read here in 1996. Bill Yake is a familiar face to the local poetry audience. A fre- quent reader in the OPWW series, he has several chapbooks to his credit, including Giving Critters Short Shrift and a collec- tion of poems written after visits to New Zealand and Mexico. He has had works published in mag- azines including Fine Madness, Wilderness and Convolvulus and ITRACY was a recent nominee for a Push- cart Prize. The reading will begin with an open-podium opportunity for local writers to share short samples of their work.

"This sys- tem is set up so it can be easily observed. It's an optional, sug- gested part of the class scenario." Those lessons are set for Satur- days, February 20, March 13, April 3 and 17, mornings from 10:30 to noon or afternoons from 12:30 to 2 o'clock. In addition to the scheduled classes, Don notes, community groups or homeowner associa- tions can arrange for a presenta- tion at their meeting places. He says to arrange for a presenta- tion or to find out about classes, people can call him at the coop- erative extension office, 427-9670 or 275-4467, Extension 396. Don brings a wealth of experi- ence to his mission with Sea Grant, having worked for Thur- ston-Mason Health District and then Thurston County Health Department in the environmen- tal health division for years. He started in public health in 1970; Don had a biology degree. "Quite frankly, when I inter- viewed for the job for the first time, I didn't have a depth of ex- perience," he concedes. "It was a field, the combination of public health and environmental pro- tection, that clearly interested me. There were a lot of problems to solve. Indeed so. "CLEARLY WE'VE made turnarounds in water quality in the last 30 years. There are several water bodies and shell- fish growing areas that have got- ten better over the last 10 years instead of getting worse," he pro- claims. "That's real issue for us here in the Northwest. Mason County has an extremely valu- able shellfish industry and it de- pends on good, clean water. "We have high standards in water quality and all of us who own septic systems are part of the solution to that water quality problem, and we don't want to be- come the problem side of that," Don observes. "In my experience, homeown- ers are very cooperative. They are not antagonistic toward wa- ter quality or public health." He pauses and continues, "Sometimes the expenses of re- pairs or the expense of the system pinches, but the price of an on- site system is almost always un- der the price of an automobile." Turning philosophical, Don comments, "Most of the reasons why people operate and maintain their systems are not regulatory. Just because the law says you have to have your automobile in good working order, the law isn't the reason that you have good brakes on your automobile. "THE MORE THEY know,, the easier it is for them to make rea- soned, planned decisions about their system and ultimately save themselves some money," he cntends. "Operation, manage- ment, monitoring and main- They're simply homeowner ob- servations to make sure that the maintenance gets done appro- priately." Don claims most people want to do the right thing. "The 95 per- cent rule holds in homeowners. You know, most people are re- sponsible and want to act respon- sibly." With a soft chuckle he adds, "There is the occasional person who is obstreperous or confronta- tional. It's a tiny minority. Those people probably won't come to class anyway." For him, the county is famil- iar stomping ground. "This project started in August but I've liked working in Mason County a long time because when it was Thurston-Mason Health Dis- trict, I was a sanitarian in Ma- son County," he says with glee. Don worked here from 1974 through 1977. "Mason County is really a favorite area." WITH EQUAL JOY, Don shares one of his favorite recipes. "Swedish pancakes are an old family favorite. My mother and father were both born in Sweden, so Swedish pancakes were sort of a staple for our fami- ly when I was a kid," he ex- plains. "It's an easy recipe to do and they're very flexible. You can serve them either with syrups or sweet things or sour cream or put thin slices of Jarlsberg cheese on after you've cooked the first side. They're delicious in a whole bunch of ways," Don declares. "There are a lot of variations on this theme. I certainly would not want to say this is the only way to make Swedish pancakes. It'd be like saying there's only one way to make bread," he says with a laugh. "This is one that's we've liked for a long time. Clearly a lot of Swedish pan- cakes are made off the 'hip, but this blend is one that works." Swedish pancakes (Leaf Family recipe) 4 eggs 1/2 C. flour 1 1/2 C. milk 1/2 tsp. salt 2 Tbsp. sugar 2 Tbsp. cooking oil or melted but- ter. Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl. Mix flour into eggs and beat until smooth. Mix in milk and other ingredients. The batter will be quite thin, sort of like crepes batter. Pour or dip enough batter to cover the bottom of a frying pan or griddle. Cook over medium heat until golden brown, turning once. The second side is always more spotty when done. Serve with butter, syrup, fruit syrups, jams, sour cream or any favorite topping. Serves two or three. The recipe can easily be scaled up, two eggs and proportional ingredients at a time.

"It's been great. I Iove the people here," she said. "It (haircuts, etc.) makes my residents feel special, and when they feel good, I feel good. They're al- ways very appreciative, never critical." In her retirement, Harolyn plans to travel with her husband, work around the house, and "Do those things retired people do," she said. t. UC NH735 Shelton, WA 98584 FAX 3601426 2140 What's Cook kn'?
