"Countywide, it's one of the
worst we've had," said Marty Best,
director of the Mason County De-
partment of Emergency Manage-
ment. His office opened an emer-
gency management center at 5
a.m. Monday and it remained in
operation until 9 o'clock that night,
then reopened at 5 a.m. Tuesday.
Some 12,500 customers of PUD
3 lost power at 11:10 a.m. Monday

Bonneville Power Administration
substation in Shelton. The outage
affected all of downtown Shelton,

Hillcrest, Shelton Springs Road,
Island Lake, Brockdale, Oak Park
and the Arcadia area. Most resi-
dents had their electricity back by
around 6 p.m.
On Wednesday morning, ap-
proximately 700 customers of
PUD 1, most of them in the Lake
Cushman area, remained without
power. Local linemen were being
assisted by crews from Peninsula
Power and Light and Snohomish
County PUD.

SENSING TROUBLE
The oxygen sensor in your vehicle measures the amoUn
of oxygen in its exhaust gases as a means of controlling thd
fuel-air mixture in the engine. It sends this information to th
engine management system, which adjusts the fuel mixtUr
accordingly (making it either richer or leaner). In the event
that the oxygen sensor wears out, as it eventually will, it wilJ
adversely affect the health and performance of the en
a result of incorrect readings, the catalytic converter may
come damaged, emissions will increase, and/or such drivab
icy problems as hesitation and/or surging may arise.To avoil
problems, replace the oxygen sensors in your vehicle at
recommended intervals or when the"CHECK ENGINE" lighi
advises to do so. _.

So remember to bring your vehicle into TRANSMISSIONI
PLUS AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES whenever your "CHEC|
ENGINE" light turns on. Whether you have a faulty oxyge
sensor or some other issue, the longer you leave it uncheckeC
the more damage you can cause. Our ASE-certified technician

appointment. We're located at 31 E. Vance Ct., and are your
complete transmission, clutch, and auto care center. "We care.,
about auto care?"
HINT: Oxygen sensors are
located at one or more points in
the exhaust system.
