Dangerous, dirty, and physically demanding are words that might describe the occupation of Tony Cemelich, who admits he is a dying business.

      It is man against the elements as Cernelich, a vigourous 57, calls on all of his agility in salvaging stray logs from the sometimes turbulent waters of Grays Harbor.
