Located at the intersection of Highway 101 and
The new Shelton Goodwill store,
which will open Thursday morning,
not only brings another thrift store to
Shelton, but 24 new jobs as well.
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.

Goodwill's

employees,
helps get the
store ready
for its grand
opening
today.
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.

cally different prison sen-
tences for possession of a
stolen vehicle.
Valencia, who was sen-
tenced under the Drug Of-

tive, got 25 months in prison
with 25 months of communi-

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.
