Harstine e in e By CARMEN YATES Ted and Elsie Ness, owners of Jarrell's Cove Marina, recently returned back home from a much-anticipated trip to their homeland of Finland. Their original plan had been to leave the first part of March so that they would arrive in time to help Ted's brother, Verner Slussnass, and his wife celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary March 25. However, an unexpected illness sent Ted to the hospital for more than two weeks. Thus it was the latter part of April following Ted's stay in the hospital and several days of recuperation at home before his doctors gave him the all clear signal to proceed with the Nesses' plans to begin the trip., back home again. Incidentally, when Ted first arrived in this country he decided his last name of "Slussnass" had about an excess of the letter "s" by about three. So he revised and shortened the name to "Ness." The couple's departure time from Sea-Tac was about midnight. Nine and a half hours later the plane was touching down at Helsinki, Finland on the southern tip of their home country. Ted and Elsie were also accompanied by her sister, Norma Martinelli, from Monterey, California. At Helsinki the three travelers were met by Ted's cousin. She took them to the hotel, Ursala, where they were supposed to have two rooms reserved. However, something had gone awry and only one room had been reserved and every other room was taken. Arrangements were finally made so Norma could sleep on the sofa in Ted and Elsie's room. The following day Norma took a tour of the city.

The second evening in Helsinki the three visitors were accompanied to a restaurant by Ted's cousin (English speaking) who had met them at the airport. Since none of the three spoke Finnish, dinner would have been a teal surprise without her. Norma and Elsie dined on reindeer meat, which they found very good. After the mixup at the hotel on their first night of arrival, the visitors just couldn't resist the offer of a private home for a couple of days. The house was the summer home overlooking a beautiful lake which belonged to one of Elsie's relatives in the community where her mother used to reside. While they were there, Elsie and Norma's family arranged to have all of their relatives gather at the summer home for a big reunion and visit. The next day the plans called for a flight to Kokkola on the west coast of Finland. Since their flight was scheduled for departure at 9:45 a.m., they arrived well before flight time only to discover the time on the tickets was wrong and the plane had left at 7:30 a.m. Their inquiries as to another flight turned up the information that the only other two flights that same day as well as flights the next day were completely fidl. The following day, Sunday, there were no flights scheduled at all. The alternative was a train which would take five hours rather than the 45-minute trip they had anticipated. Last-minute hectic arrangements were made and they were at last headed for the area of Finland where Ted grew up. They arrived five hours later in Benas where they planned to take a bus to Jakobstad. However, they had called some of Ted's relatives who had planned to meet them at the airport in Kokkola so they wouldn't make an unnecessary trip. When the train arrived at Benas the travelers were greeted by three carloads of Ted's family. From there they all headed to the Island of Larsmo where Ted was born and raised. Once there they made their headquarters at the home of Ted's niece and her husband, Verna and Hardie Fagerudd. When they arrived the salt water between the mainland and the island was still solid ice. But about a week after they arrived the ice began to melt and break up. While in the area the visitors spent all their time going back and forth visiting Ted's brother and sister, cousins, and oodles of nieces and nephews. One of the highlights of their stay was a boat trip to the Island of Hellun across from Larsmo. The ice of the week before had completely melted and disappeared and the weather was especially gorgeous. It took two boats to transport all Ted's family across the channel to the summer home of his nephew, Alf Slussnas. The one special thing that Norma had wanted to do if possible was to travel up to the northern part of Finland to see Lapland. By coincidence, Ted's family had planned just such a trip and invited Norma to join them in their camper for the overnight jaunt. At the end of the visit a nephew drove the threesome to the airport at Kokkola, and then flew with them to Helsinki. About 20 relatives accompanied them to the airport to see them off. Enroute back home they took a side trip and stopped for a couple of days at Copenhagen, Denmark. The population of this city is 1,400,000. They took a tour of the city which took two and a half hours. Some of the buildings they saw were constructed in the 1300's. The contrast between these old, old buildings and the modern construction was most interesting. One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to Tivoli Park, which would be somewhat similar to Seattle Center, in that all of the same types of things would be there. The big difference would be in the size. The Seattle Center could probably fit in one tiny corner of Tivoli Park. Literally thousands of people were in the park when the three travelers visited it. At the end of their stay the three boarded a return flight at Helsinki. Due to the time change they arrived back in Seattle on the very same day they left Finland. They were met at Sea-Tac by the Nesses' daughter, Patty, and Norma's sister-in-law. Altogether they were gone 22 days. Norma and Elsie acquired a new talent while in Finland. Ted's niece, Veran Fagerudd, taught the two gals how to weave on her weaving machine. The machine is so large that she could set up two rugs (in different colors) at the same time. Elsie already has several rugs that Verna has either sent or brought to her and they are all just gorgeous. So it was a special treat to learn just how they are made. Verna says that she had far more orders than she can begin to keep up with. And when she came to the states she paid for both herself and her husband's fare from the sale of the rugs. Before heading back to California Norma spent a few days visiting another sister, Lillian, and Bill Anderson in Rochester. And that old saying "It's a small, small world" really came home to them after arriving back here. It seems Ted's doctor in Olympia told them one of his grandparents was born in the same house as was Ted's mother. usqvarna SAEGER MOTOR SNOP 1306 Olympic Hwy.
