"1 THINK OF MYSELF as a homemaker", says Carla Meacham, shown with
her children.
"I spend more time in the
kitchen than anywhere else,"
confesses Carla Meacham. "1
really love to cook."
Born in Olympia and reared in
Seattle, Mrs. Meacham and her
family came to Shelton in 1966
and a year later moved to the old
Peterson place by the old ferry
landing. A year ago, with her
husband Jerald and their three
children she moved to their
present acreage near Spencer
Lake.
"I had always been a city
girl," says Mrs. Meacham, "but
I've never been as happy as 1 am
here in the country."
Her six-and-a-half year old
daughter Rebecca is a first-grader
in Pioneer School. Mathew is
three and a half, and two year old
Rachel was born on election day.
Mrs. Meacham is active in the
Pioneer PTO, and she is a memoc,
of the Pioneer Citizens Advisory
Board. She leads a Brownie Troop
and she is running for a position
on the Pioneer School Board.
"I hope to be elected," she
states, "because 1 am truly
interested in the school and in the
children."
The new principal-super-
intendent of Pioneer School,
Richard Mariotti, had much to do
with her decision to become a
candidate.
"He is very enthusiastic,"
Carla Meacham explains, "and he
has great plans for the school."

Office. He is also the milker of
the goats.
Carla's hobby is baking, and
she will be a contributor to the
bake sale planned by the Pioneer
P'IO. She bakes all of the family
bread.
"I started with a basic
recipe," she says. "I added and
subtracted until I came up with
nly own version,"
She buys her yeast in
two-pound cans, which cost $1.60.
A four-ounce jar retails for $.73.
She feels that she has saved
money even if a portion of the
large can of yeast goes stale.
She varies her breads, once
even adding to the potato water
some left-over crook-neck squash.
"It was very good," she
maintains. "Even the kids, who
hate squash, liked the bread,
although they wouldn't have
eaten it had they known what was
in it."
To make her wheat bread she
uses a fine-textured flour. She has
found that brands very
considerably, some being much
coarser than others.

In the garden of the Shelton
Valley home of her parents, Dawn
Ann Olli on September 11 was
wedded to Gary Wayne
Miltenberger, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Miltenberger of
Shelton. The bride is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Donald F. Olli.
The Rev. William Andrews,
pastor of the United Methodist
Church of Shelton, performed the
double ring ceremony at 1 p.m.
beneath towering fir trees. The
altar, decorated with dahlias,
gladioli and native ferns, was a
portion of the front porch of the
original farmhouse which had
years ago burned. The aisle was a
sidewalk leading past a fountain
and a small pool to the porch
steps.
Soloist Betty Potter of
Spokane, accompanied by pianist
Mrs. Harvey Hillman, sang "He"
and "Whither Thou Guest".
Maid of honor Julie Olli, sister
of the bride, and bridesmaid Patsy
Miltenberger, sister of the groom,
each read at the altar a short
scripture passage. They were
escorted by ushers Larri Olli,
brother of the bride, Scott
Miltenberger, brother of the
groom, Lavern Swenson and
Keith Jackson.
The bride, in a long skirt of
white crushed velvet and a white
dotted swiss peasant blouse with
lace-trimmed neckline and sleeves,
walked down the aisle on the arm
of her father. Matching lace
banded her three-quarter length
veil. Her sandals were white, and
she wore a tiny gold cross
necklace. She carried a large
basket of yellow and white
dahlias with native greenery and
baby's breath.
Styled identically to that of
the bride were the costumes of
her attendants. Miss Julie Ann
Olli's skirt was fashioned of forest
green embossed velvet and her
blouse of mint green whipped
cream. Orange and red blossoms,
greenery and baby's breath filled
her small flower basket.
A pale lilac whipped cream
blouse was worn by Miss
Mr. and Mrs. Gary Wayne Miltenberger
Miltenberger with her skirt of
deep purple embossed velvet, and
her basket held assorted pink,
purple and white blooms with
baby's breath and greenery.

Carla Meacham likes to sew in
a purely utilitarian fashion,
making clothing and household
items.
"I think of myself as a
homemaker rather than as a
housewife," she remarks. "To me,
there is a big difference. A
homemaker tries a little harder to
create a home by all the little
extra attentions."
