Nancy Yuan Yuan nominated for chance to get leadership award Nancy Yuan, a Shelton High School senior, has been nomi- nated to compete in the national Principal&apos;s Leadership Award program. While at SHS, Yuan has been involved with the Key Club, Stu- dents Against Destructive Deci- sions club, National Honor Soci- ety and swim and dance teams. She plans to attend the Univer- sity of Washington next thll for a pre-med course of study. She is the daughter of" Garry and Debbie Yuan of Shelton. "Nancy is an excellent stu- dent at Shelton High Sch(ol, said Principal Wanda Berndt- son. "Not only does she main- tain a perfect academic record, she serves in a leadership posi- tion for several student groups. Nancy is a student every prin- cipal would be proud to have in their schools." High-school principals from across the country nominate one of their student leaders tbr the national award. Nominees were accepted based on, their leader- ship skills, participation in ser- vice organizations and clubs, achievement in the arts and sci- ences, employment experience and academic re.cord. They were also required to write an essay. One hundred national award winners will be chosen in the spring to receive $1,000 college scholarships. The program is sponsored by the National As- sociation of Secondary _chool Principals and funded by Herfl" Jones, Incorporated. Olson facing pet care case A Shelton veterinarian has been charged with unprofessional conduct for allowing a technician to extract the teeth of animals without proper supervision. This represents the second time in tbur years that Dr. Gary Olson has gotten crosswise of the Veteri- nary Board of Governors, a divi- sion of the Washington State De- partment of Health. He will have an opportunity to defend himself against allegations made in a civil case filed against him last month• Olson responded on Friday with a written statement indicating the latest complaint was filed by "a disgruntled employee" more than two years ago. It reads: "Dr. Olson and the technician deny the charge and have asked for a hearing. Dr. Olson is con- fident that the hearing will re- sult in a finding of no violation of Washington state law. Dr. Olson and Shelton Veterinary Hospital have served the residents of Ma- son County for more than 25 years with the goal of providing the high- est quality of care to the animals they treat and in full compliance with all the various laws govern- ing their practice." Janelle Teachman, a health services consultant, and Cindy Gideon, an assistant attorney gen- eral, signed the charges against Olson on November 1. In addition to alleging that he did not proper- ly supervise dental extractions at Shelton Animal Hospital, the two allege that he failed to abide by a prior agreement with the state that was to settle the earlier case against him. Olson signed an agreement with the state on December 9, 2002 in which he admitted allowing a veterinary technician to neuter cats, a task which was found to be "outside the scope of her practice•" Also at issue were Olson's failure to document his examinations of the cats and failure to document the anesthesia used during the neutering surgeries. That agreement provided for a "stayed suspension" of Olson's state license to practice as a veter- inarian. That put him in jeopardy Epiphany songs manifest talents of Children's Choir (Continued from page 13.) that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I com- manded thee that thou shouldst not eat?" NAKHLA AND The Book of Genesis continued: "And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent be- guiled me, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field: upon thy belly thou shall go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, 'and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel." The children sang "O Come, All Ye Faithful" and Nakhla read a second passage from this first book of the Bible which describes how God told Abraham to sacrifice his son at an altar of the Lord and then relented just as Abraham was about to do just that: "And in thy seed shall all the nations of the Earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice." On this note the children took a seat and left it to the adults to lead the gathering in the singing of another song. The next selec- tion was "How Brightly Shines the Morning Star," a song by Philipp Nicolai, which Mrs. Shoemaker described as "a true Reformation hymn." Nicolai was the son of a Trucksess to chair hospital board operations of Mason General Hospital, Oakland Bay Pediat- rics and North Mason Medical Clinic in Belfair. Nancy Truck- sess of Shelton, who has served as president since mid-2006 af- ter Bill McComb resigned from the commission, will remain as president of the three-person board. Don Wilson of Potlatch will be secretary and Scott Hil- burn, Shelton, is a trustee. They meet at 8 a.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month, except holidays. Meetings are in the Washing- ton Room at Mason General, 901 Mountain View Drive in Shelton.

US Highway 10 I, Hood,port Lutheran pastor and the pastor of Saint Katherine's Church in Ham- burg, €ermany. He composed this piece a few years after Martin Lu- ther and his followers made their break from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th Century: "Oh Morning Star how fair and bright! You shine with God's own truth and light. Aglow with grace and mercy! Of Jacob's race, King David's son, Our Lord and master, you have won our hearts to serve you only." ALSO KNOWN as the planet Venus, the Morning Star refers to Jesus in The Book of Revelation and the Second Letter of Peter and to Lucifer in The Book of the Prophet Isaiah. "I Jesus sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches• I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star," The Book of Revelation states. The identification of the morn- ing star with Lucifer resulted from the difficulty of translating The Book of the Prophet Isaiah from the original Hebrew into Greek and then into Latin and then into the peculiar kind of English spoken after Luther's revolt. The original text refers to "Hilel ben Shahar," a Hebrew name for the Morning Star that was taken from a very old story that describes its fall from grace. "How art thou fall- en from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut to the ground, which didst weaken the nations•" Mrs. Shoemaker inquired as to whether there were "any unbeliev- ers" in the gathering and talked about Creation as involved in a war which Jesus has already won. Some readings of The Book of Rev- elation find it to have references to the triumph of Jesus over Lucifer and fulfillment of God's promise to Eve that her heel "shall bruise" the serpent's head. Be that as it may, in her introduction to Nico- lai's song Mrs. Shoemaker talked about how Saint Lucia celebrated the return of Jesus as the light of the world. "Saint Lucia wears candles in her hair and that repre- sents the virgins with oil in their lamps waiting for the second com- ing of Christ," she said, This was an apparent reference to a passage in The Gospel Accord- ing to Matthew that describes Je- sus as on the verge of marital bliss: "Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out." SAINT LUCIA is a martyr of the early church whose name is Latin for "Light" while "Lucifer" is Latin for "Light-bearer," both being related to the English word "lucid," meaning "rational, clear and easily understood." Some have suggested that Satan was called Lucifer before his fall from grace. After their rendition of Nicolai's song, Nakhla read a passage from The Book of the Prophet Isaiah that many Christians consider to be the promise of a virgin birth fulfilled when Jesus became the newborn issue of Mary's womb. "Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." In the original Hebrew the name 'Immanuel" means "with us is God." The gathering at Faith Lutheran followed a brief power outage in Shelton, with light re- stored to the downtown area about 40 minutes before the scheduled 6 o'clock starting time.
