ety and swim and dance teams.
She plans to attend the Univer-
sity of Washington next thll for

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"

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

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.

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. Those who
attended the gathering were pre-
sented with a printed copy of the
program entitled, "Guide Me to
Thy Perfect Light."
