New restaurant the latest tennant of old KFC building By GORDON WEEKS gordon@masoncoun~y.com After a health-related hiatus, Nara Teriyaki re- opened last week in down- town Shelton. Soong and Keum Chang are again serving teriyaki chicken, pork and beef, gyoza, wok dishes and rice bowls at 831 S. 1st St. Motorists passing the building that formerly housed KFC have noticed several transitions during the past three years. The couple opened Nara Teri- yaki in 2009. A friend took over the business while the Changs retained owner- ship of the building, but the restaurant closed when the new owner didn't keep up with his bills, said Soong Chang~ The business reopened last year for two months as Vic's Burger. The name Soong trans- lates to Vic in English, Chang explained. The menu was changed to simpler dishes such as ham- burgers because Keum was ill, and Soong was running the operation by himself.

"Think of it as if we're building a railroad: we're building the infrastructure to get to orbit cheaper, safer and more frequently," states Da- vid Horn, the technical chair of the 2012 Space Elevator Conference. For the Lego robot, Dan came up with the idea of us- ing a bank of motors, but his son Guy improved on the de- sign and built it. Many of Saturday's teams created robots that were too complicated, with off-center wheels that caused too much tension for the motors to turn, said Dan. His members produced a robot with wheels opposed to each other, which avoided tension on the tape, he said. The robotics group was founded last year when Dan gave Guy a choice: they Could either join the Boy Scouts to- gether, with Dan as a leader, or launch a robotics club. "I just like anything tech- nological," said Guy. His sister Grace remem- bers it this way: '~Dad said, "Hey, do you want to make a robot?" Dan stresses that he gives the kids the tools and the club structure, and then sets them Bar & Grill 360-426'2505 1180 E.

"I remember when there was a time when there was a county road and another county road that didn't have names -- and then we got telephones," she said. Because the Newkirk home was the closest to the road, the telephone company named it Newkirk Road. "When we were kids we hiked on the hill and there were no houses on the hill," she said. "We were taught to make noise so we didn't surprise an animal that could hurt us." Harper said she enjoyed getting recognition from the grange, partly because she had given out such rec- ognition to many members before her, "It was a very wonderful afternoon, it was wonder- full to see old friends," she said. !i iii!i i i i iii i ! i!i! i i iiiii!!!iii!iii!iiiii iii iii !i iii!iii! i i i ii i! iii !i! iiiii iii iii i!i i ! !ii i i! i ii ii!iii ! iiii!i i ii ii iil ii .
