Letters Cold Continued from page A-4 Continued from page A-1 Nita's cooking by all Editor, the Journal Thank you to Nita Bariekman for sharing her recipes and her memories in her newly released cook- book, Nita's Cooking. I do not know how far and wide Nita Bariekman's cook- ing is known, but I do know this: My friend Rachael Le- land, who visits each sum- mer from Thousand Oaks, Calif., will not leave Shel- ton without having lunch at Nita's Koffee Shop. Lunch at Nita's is a must do on her sightseeing itinerary. My friend Hiroko Makino, from Hiroshima, Japan, has only visited Shelton once, but she was thrilled to eat at a caf that heretofore she had only experienced in American novels. My cousin Wanda Parkhurst, from Mitchell, S.D., also insists on eating at Nita's when she visits, hoping for a slice of black- berry pie. Nita Bariekman and Ni- ta's Koffee Shop are two of Shelton's treasures. Thank you also to Caro- lyn Maddux for her excellent job editing the cookbook and seeing it to publications. Laura Sladek (Grimes) l am blessed to be here Editor, the Journal This was my first Christ- mas celebration in the Pa- cific Northwest. I hope that many more will follow. I would like to thank the con- gregation at Spring Road Chapel First Church of God for making it so meaning- ful. I recently became their pastor on November 5 after moving here from Texas. I feel blessed to be here. For the past two years, I have dreaded Christmas due to my wife's passing in 2008. However, since I came here I feel that the Lord has given me a brand new start. Thanks Pacific North- west for the welcome you have given me. May the Lord bless you. Pastor Sid Thorne Shelton We also have Amish Made Bird Feeders winter's power outages were related to the heavy snowfalls in November. PUD 3 officials are also cautioning cus- tomers that they should prepare for in- creased energy usage to be reflected in their bill. Myer said that heat pumps draw air from outside until temperatures reach about 35 degrees. Then the heaters must use their auxiliary heating systems, which use more energy. Sheltonites endured a similar stretch of cold weather last December, when low tem- peratures dipped into single digits for sev- eral days. The low temperature on December 9, 2008 was only 6 degrees, according to the National Weather Service, which makes our most cold snap seem like a week in a tropical paradise. During such cold snaps, several local groups provide warming stations or cold weather stations for Shelton's homeless population. St. David's Episcopal Church in Shelton has a cold weather shelter, but it only opens when nighttime temperatures are predicted to fall below 35 degrees. The Shelton Community Kitchen, also opens its doors as a less official "warming station" during cold weather, to allow the homeless to get out of the rain for a little while. "Thirty-six degrees is still cold, especially when it's raining," Joe Lisk, a volunteer at the kitchen said. After a brief warming spell, Mason Coun- ty again saw cold temperatures and sporad- ic snow showers through much of Monday, causing much axiety among local drivers. The St. David's Episcopal Church emer- gency cold weather shelter opened on Mon- day as well, in response to the freezing tem- peratures. Barb Weza, manager of the community meals program at the church said thht the shelter has been open many more days this winter than in past years. "I couldn't give you an exact number (of days the shelter has been open)," Weza said. "We have been open all but six days since November. Salmon Continued from page A-1 endangered. By the end of that decade, the fed- eral government had designated 16 more species of salmon as at-risk of extinction, covering three- quarters of the state. Those listings set off a series of activities in- cluding the formation of the Salmon Recovery Funding Board to oversee the investment of state and federal funds for salmon recovery. Since 2000, the board has awarded nearly $417 million in grants, funded by federal and state dol- lars, for 1,775 projects. Grantees have contribut- ed more than $189 million in matching resources. ................. iiiiiii'iii~il i: ri¸ 0057288 . LAYER PELLET All purpose I feed for your!
