After sifting through a large num- ber of applications from Mason County residents, store manager Rod Clement said he settled on two-dozen new em- ployees, who he has been training for the last month. "We hired 24 new people, most are from Shelton," he said. "We had a lot of applicants, a lot of good people. It was a tough decision." Clement said he wound up with an enthusiastic batch of new hires that he already feels are a part of the "Good- will family." "My crew runs my store," he said. "I have a very very very good crew, an excellent crew." One of those new hires is Karri Can- terbury, who started as a supervisor at the store on February 1. "I'm very excited. I think it's a won- derful company," she said. Long-time Goodwill employees, like Rhonda Tye, have also come in to Shel- ton to get the store running. "I love it, it's like the 18th or 19th store I've helped open," she said. After months of preparation, the Shelton Goodwill, located at 301 E. Wallace Kneeland Plaza Blvd., will open for business Thursday morning at 9 a.m. Clement will lead an opening cer- emony at 8:45 a.m. Thursday morn- ing, which will include Shelton Mayor John Tarrant, Goodwill president and CEO Terry A. Hayes and Chad Wright, a member of the Goodwill board of di- rectors. For the last few weeks, new Good- will employees have joined Clement, who has been with Goodwill for seven years and in retail for 40, as well as other long-time employees in getting the store ready to open this week. That work involves everything from installing a new front door in the building to unpacking and sorting merchandise. "Most of the clothes on the floor are donated," Clement said. "We do some direct buying but it's not a substantial part of sales." Most of the donated merchandise for sale at the Shelton store is from Tacom Goodwill's warehouse, Clem- ent said, but local donations are com- ing in as well. "That's our lifeblood," he said.

Clement said that Goodwill accepts gently used donations, but doesn't sell dirty or damaged items. "If you'd give to a friend, give it to Goodwill," he said. The grand opening celebration will last through the weekend, and include live music and the presence of several radio stations, from Olympia, Seattle and Shelton. Customers will have a chance to win prizes including gift cards, iPods and an Alderbrook Resort getaway. For more information, call the Shel- ton Goodwill store, number at 426- 0838. Car thieves are sentenced By KEVAN MOORE A couple of collaborating car thieves captured in the Skokomish Valley in late December were sentenced separately this week in Mason County Superior Court.

Valencia, who was sen- tenced under the Drug Of- fender Sentencing Alterna- tive, got 25 months in prison with 25 months of communi- ty custody. Sherman, on the other hand, who has an extensive criminal history and high of- fender score, was sentenced to 50 months of confinement to run consecutive to eight remaining months from a separate sentence. According to court docu- ments, Sherman earned an offender score of ten. Sherman's prior convic- tions include: attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle and possession of a stolen vehicle in Thurston County in March 2008; two counts of trafficking in sto- len property in the second degree in August of 2003 in Mason County; escape in the second degree in Febru- ary of 1999 in Mason Coun- ty; first-degree robbery in September of 1996 in King County; taking a motor ve- hicle without the owner's permission in May of 1995 $ , ea on 101 -- Prices subject to change without notice -- Page A-8 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Thursday, March 3,2011 + TAX in Mason County; and resi- dential burglary and theft in the first degree in April of 1995 in Chelan. Court records indicate that in this latest case, Sher- man and Valencia were ac- complices in stealing a black Honda Accord from the 100 block of Blevins Road just before 7 a.m. on December 27, 2010. Court documents say that Valencia drove the black Honda from the scene while Sherman left the scene in a "champagne" colored Honda Accord. The vehicles were spotted northbound on Highway 101 a short time later by a sher- iffs office deputy. The ve- hicles made their way to the California Road and were eventually ditched by Valen- cia and Sherman after being cut offnear Eells Hill Road. A three-hour search in- volving deputies, Fish and Wildlife agents, troopers and a state patrol aircraft ensued. At approximately 10:30 a.m. dispatchers advised police that residents in the 2900 block of Skokomish Valley Road reported that they had a suspect at gun point on their property. Dep- uties arrived a short time later, advised Sherman of his rights and took him into custody. Then, at around noon, dispatchers advised search- ers that a suspicious male subject was walking in the 3400 W. Skokomish Valley Road looking into empty mailboxes. He was later identified as Valencia. Deputies first contacted Valencia while he was visi- ble through a trailer window and speaking o n a phone in the 3500 block. After being ordered to step outside, Va- lencia was placed into hand- cuffs and taken into custody. A woman who lived in the trailer said Valencia got there about half an hour earlier and was soaking wet and shivering. The woman said that he had no shoes on and was thought to be hypo- thermic. Valencia first denied stealing the gray Honda and said he borrowed the vehi- cle, despite the fact that it had been reported stolen by the owner some five hours earlier. 0 Yard - Truck PEN MON-FRI 7:30-4:30 ?
