MOSES LAKE — There’s a new source for clothing in town. Angie’s Apparel opened three months ago, according to owner Angie Delgado, and had its Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting Thursday.
Angie’s Apparel operates on a consignment basis, Delgado said.
“We’re kind of like Buy-Sell-Trade,” Delgado said. “We could buy your clothes, you can trade yours for clothes that I have, or just buy.”
Angie’s Apparel is located at 310 S., Balsam St. Ste. E, across from the Moses Lake Civic Center. The shop is upstairs in the back, so it’s not immediately visible from the street.
Delgado, a native of Royal City, said she carries clothing for both men and women of all sizes, from extra small to 3X. She’s especially interested in getting more plus-size clothing in, she said.
Angie’s Apparel is open 12-5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Her goal is to branch out into a wider variety of clothing, Delgado said.
“I would like to make it a one-stop shop for families,” she said. “Maybe getting into newborns, younger kids, toddlers and teenagers.”

Noxious Weed Control Board works to keep invasive plants under control
MOSES LAKE — Some of the nastiest plants in Grant County were the topic of a class led by Jay Johnson, a consultant with the Grant County Noxious Weed Control Board, Tuesday. The Noxious Weed Control Board, as its name would suggest, is tasked with keeping weeds under control in Grant County. That’s not a small job; the board’s website lists 129 species of noxious weeds that are found around Grant County. A noxious weed is defined as an invasive, non-native plant that threatens agricultural crops, local ecosystems or fish and wildlife habitat, according to the Noxious Weed Control Board. Washington state law requires that these weeds be identified and their spread kept to a minimum, if not completely eradicated. “We’re one of those agencies a lot of people don’t really understand,” Johnson said. “We’re a county office and … our funding is tax-based assessment. When you get your tax bill and you look down at all the expenses that you pay for, there we are.”

Moses Lake author encourages women to look beyond church culture norms
MOSES LAKE — A Moses Lake author’s book, “A Christian Woman Striving to Live Her Faith in a Man-Controlled World,” takes aim at the role to which many churches relegate the female half of their congregations. “It’s to encourage women in the faith,” Linda Curran said. “A lot of churches say, ‘Teach Sunday school, do this, do that, but don’t (evangelize.)’" In her book, Curran recounts a time when she moved to a new community and joined a church there. She was surprised to learn that, as a new female member, she had been automatically assigned church cleaning duties. When she questioned it, she wrote, she was met with condescension and her objections were brushed aside. In other churches, she said, women who were capable of teaching were relegated to “women’s ministry.”
