Saturday, March 10 8:30 a.m., Mason County Amateur His life is on the move (Continued from page 26.) king here Saturday and Sunday night," Nichols says, "I'm usually here, first in line." He gets there a half-hour ear- ly so he can shower before din- ner. During the week he showers midday at Saint David's Monday through Thursday when the of- rice is open. On the below-freezing nights when the shelter is open for overnighters, the shower is also awulable. "I'm around town," he said. "This is a small town and I'm out in all kinds of weather. A lot of times I'm walking around and no one else is there. I don't just sit on a bucket out at my camp. I walk back and tbrth between my camp and town three or four times a day." HE SAYS HE doesn't, get de- pressed, although he sees a lot of other people who do. "This town is scary. You see a lot of people here on drugs, l (:an spot them in a heartbeat." His expertise in taking care of himself while homeless comes from two decades of experience. He spent 12 years in Spokane, some of it as a homeless man, where he did some painting, some firewood cutting and some landscaping. He saved enough to buy a truck from a car dealer fbr whom he did a lot of work and got a permit fl'om the U.S. Forest Service to cut cords of wood off tbderal land and sell it. "I'm not lazy, and I'm not weak. I'm very strong," he said. Nichols said he had a girl- friend in Spokane who lived with her parents and wanted to get an apartment so they lived together tbr two or three years before he left tbr Seattle and then Olympia. As he tells it, the issue in Spokane is that his girlfriend asked him the same questions too many times: Where are you going? What are you doing? "I had to ask permis- sion to go somewhere and I didn't like that," he said. MR. NICHOLS says he was born in Florida. He said he hasn't seen anyone from his family in 25 years and doesn't know if anyone in his family is still alive. "I got to Shelton actually by accident. I came over here to cut wood with a guy, and we got out to his uncle's place, and him and his uncle got into it," he said. What they got into was a fight. "I was supposed to go to work the next day, but it didn't work out, I guess you'd say, so I said 'See you later!' I was out on Pickering there, and a guy said 'You need a ride? I'm going to Shelton.' And that's how I ended up here." A tbw weeks after this conver- sation in the Saint David's Parish Hall, he spent more than a week in Seattle at Harborview Medical Center, where he was treated for a severe burn. In a subsequent in- terview by teleI3hone he described how the burn occurred. Nichols said that he was soak- ing wet after walking back to his campsite in the Shelton area. He started his stove to make coffee, placing it on a surface about two feet off the ground and he turned around, his back facing the flame. His wool sweater caught fire, set- ting his coat and pants on fire. He managed to get out of his clothes thst enough to save himself from serious burns over most of his body but he said the back of his right thigh sustained "near third- degree burns." HE SAID HE limped to the bus stop and sat tilted to one side so the burn wouldn't be aggravated by being pressed against his seat on the bus. He received emergency medical care at one facility and was told his injuries were seri- ous enough for Harborview, which treats those who have suffered the most-serious injuries. This be- ing the case, he was given a bus pass to Seattle and was admitted immediately to the hospital there. Speaking from Harborview by phone, Nichols described the burn as extremely painful and said he was trying to put more and more time between doses of pain medi- cation so he doesn't get dependent on the drug. He said doctors graft- ed skin from the front of his thigh to cover the burn on the back of his thigh. After more than a week at Har- borview he moved into the William Booth Shelter in Seattle where he spent an uncomtbrtable night. He said his skin graft was bleeding and decided he needed antibiotics, receiving some from an advocate tbr the homeless in the Shelton area. Lisa Hayes is director of the Cold and Hungry Coalition, which manages the emergency shelter in Saint David's and which is sup- ported by a grant from United Way of Mason County. Ms. Hayes said she called around to arrange a place for him to stay around here that was suit- ed to his needs and arranged for a ride to transport him from Seat- tle to Olympia. Nichols has since learned that all of the belongings he left at his camp are gone but he isn't angry, sad or worried after all these years living outside and on his own. "I know how it is," he said by phone. "I've been gone a long time and they think the tent site is abandoned so people take every- thing." Call today for a FREE ESTIMATE on a new Trane system!
