about 90 minutes. This is so much fun and great
exercise. If you don't have snowshoes, they will provide
them free of charge, so you don't have any excuse. If we can do
it, so can you. Try it, you'll like it! You do have
to make a reservation, so call them as soon as possible at:

This Year is starting out with a lot
of changes. We have the first African-American president
of the United States, "Barack Obama". At the
same time that this election was going on, Shady Cove was
electing a new Mayor and 2 Councilors. Ruth Keith decided
not to run again this year, for Mayor. She will truly be
missed, and her legacy will always be for getting everyone off
FEMA. Thank You Ruth Keith. The two candidates that ran
for Mayor were Rick Mori and Ron Holthusen. Ron Holthusen
won the Mayor position. The final results are listed
below.
Alison Curtis and Lois Holland stepped down
from their Council positions. There were 4 Candidates
running for the 2 seats. They were Forrest (Bud )Rees, Judy
