Saturday was opening day for the ice skating rink at Caldwell Park in Pella. City of Pella Community Services Director Jeanette Vaughan says the Parks Department needed a stretch of below freezing weather to build enough ice for skating, and with the forecast staying well below that mark for the foreseeable future, skating will be available in the shelterhouse.
The rink is open from 1 to 8 p.m. daily for public skating, and hockey reserved times are: Tuesday 8p-10p, Thursday 8p-10p, Friday 7pm-10pm & Saturday 9am-11am.
Youth ice skate rentals are available at the Pella Community Center Office. Adjustable size skates are able to fit Juniors through size 8. Skates must be rented during normal business hours of Monday-Friday 7:30-4:30pm.

A few strange things happened Tuesday at the Shasta County Board of Supervisors meeting.
But before we examine the meeting’s most bizarre parts, I’d be guilty of burying the lead if I didn’t share one of the most stunning developments.
You may recall two occasions last week when Shasta County Supervisors Les Baugh and Patrick Jones unlawfully opened board chambers and allowed the public inside an off-limits space that had been shuttered by supervisors in a Dec. 15 vote after a surge in COVID cases.
The pair’s first act of shared defiance was Tuesday.
The second was Wednesday, when Jones repeated the previous day’s performance during what was supposed to be a virtual special board meeting.

A recent addition to Caldwell Park in Pella during the winter is the conversion of the shelter house into an ice skating rink.
Pella Community Services Director Jeanette Vaughan says an extended cold stretch is needed to build the ice for residents and visitors to enjoy, and it might be some time until there is enough for skating.
“Our ice rink is weather dependent we do not have a chiller system, so we do need to wait for an extended period of time with daytime and nightime temperatures below freezing before we can build ice, so we keep an eye on the 14 day forecast and we just try to see if we have four or five days if we have those temperatures below freezing.”
