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.

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.

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

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.
