Senior switches from music to business, real estate
By DEAN SIEMON "It just wasn't what I was looking ney and fact," she said. ta in her own coffee shop.
Shelton High School senior Jai-
me Carlson has played flute since
the fifth grade and acted as a sec-
tion leader of the school's marching
band in her senior year.
But Carlson said she decided to
quit at the end of the recent semes-
ter.
"It was more like a divorce than
me quitting," she said. "It took a lot
of thinking and a lot of back and
"forth."
Carlson said she enjoyed having
band teachers Chris Ward and Ran-
dy Grostick, but that her interests
have shifted recently.
for at this point," Carlson said.
Carlson is close to earning her
real estate license through online
courses while also working as a re-
ceptionist at Shelton's Windermere
Real Estate office - her mother
and stepfather, Michelle and Don
Sparks, both work at the Shelton
office.
"I'm actually coming up at the
end," Carlson said.
The Shelton senior has finished
60 hours of fundamental studies
and has eight hours left of the re-
quired 30 practice hours, studying
real estate law.
"It deals with legal things - attor-
Carlson said real estate is not
going to be her major field of study
at Central Washington University
next fall.
"I don't have any real goals just
yet," she said. "Real estate is my
plan B and I don't have a plan A."
But Carlson said she wants to
major in business administration at
Central Washington. Her interest
in business came shortly after she
helped the Shelton Rugby Football
Club with fundraising with Mud
Bay Coffee in Olympia.
"I've always wanted to run my
own business," she said, also men-

Carlson joined the Shelton Rugby
Football Club's women's under-19
team, the Shelton Sting, in January
2010. She said she has always want-
ed to play a sport in high school.
"I really wanted to play volley-
ball," she said. "But I'm not good at
sports. So It was a big jump for me
to tryout for rugby."
Carlson is also a member of the
school's Future Business Leaders of
America and the Yearbook club.
Carlson said she will miss the fa-
miliar sites of Shelton, like her fa-
vorite coffee spots.
"I've lived in Shelton since forev-
er," she said. "I'll miss the security."
Apology and forgiveness workshop
Dr. Billie Ann Davis, a nationally
acclaimed speaker, consultant and
personal coach whose area of exper-
tise is reconciliation, will be in the
Shelton area to lead a one-day work-
shop called Apology and Forgiveness
on Saturday, March 26.
Her workshop, a benefit for non-
profit women's retreat and resource
organization Hypatia-in-the-Woods,
will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Hol-
ly House, a cottage the Hypatia orga-
nization maintains for residencies for
women in the arts and academia. Dr.
Davis was a Holly House resident in
2008.
Anyone can benefit from attending
if they are interested in self-healing,
are aware of an issue in their past
that they would like to move beyond,
or have personal issues of apology or
forgiveness they want to work on, she
says.
Dr. Davis says she will also share
with the group a secret about the na-
ture of forgiveness and how it relates
to a specific area of a person's life, a
secret she says was shared with her
and which she has vowed to pass on
to others.
Participants will be involved in
large- and small-group exercises that
require examining the nature of for-
giveness and apology, discuss cases
in which others have dealt with these
matters and develop intentional
strategies for addressing personal
apology or forgiveness issues.
Dr. Davis has worked for the U.S.
Department of Army, Europe, and
the U.S. Department of Labor. For
10 years she was on faculty at Seattle
University, where she taught recon-
ciliation in the executive and pasto-
ral leadership programs. In addition
to completing a book on reconcilia-
tion, Dr. Davis continues her work
as a personal development coach for
people in business, education, and
philanthropy.
A suggested tax-deductible do-
nation for the workshop is $75, and
lunch will be provided.
To register, and to receive direc-
tions and pre-workshop materials,

or contact her at cmaddux@hcc.net

Samantha
Yarbrough student of the month
Nineteen year-old Samantha Yarbrough of
Shelton CHOICE High School was selected as stu-
dent of the month for January 2011. She was rec-
ognized for her outstanding accomplishments in
her school and was honored by the Shelton Lions
Club at their regular meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 1.
Samantha passed all sections of the compre-
hensive WASL test, has received several aca-
demic excellence awards and is the ASB Chair-
man of CHOICE High School.
For her senior project, she made a mosaic
glass bench with sunflowers inlaid in the design.
It was auctioned off for a senior trip fund-raiser
and the monies received for this effort paid for a
majority of the trip. She also has been involved
in the field of horticulture, Cats Club.
Samantha likes to write and is tentatively
looking at a journalistic vocation. She also is
leaning toward the field of an early-childhood,
special-needs career.
The collective efforts of the staff and faculty of
the Shelton CHOICE High School chose Saman-
tha for her dedication of community service and
high achievements within the high school.
The student of the month is a program spon-
sored by the Shelton Lions Club. It is designed to
recognize students that possess qualities of ex-
ceptional community involvement and high aca-
demic achievements while attending the Shelton
CHOICE High School.
Oyster h6nt

"That's a lot of money-
if you were to find out how
much it would cost for 30
gallons of oysters," she said.
The Oyster Ham dinner
is scheduled for April 2 this
year, and the doors of the
Shelton Yacht club will be
open to the public from 4 -
8 p.m. Tickets are $12 at the
door for adults and $6 for
kids under 12.
'Tee serve oysters and
ham for those, and I am one
of those, who don't care for
oysters," Austin said.
And just like clockwork as
the volunteers were leaving
the shoreline after two long
hours of oyster picking, the
rain started pouring down
again, she said.
"It worked out really good.
Just as we were leaving, we
had just gotten on the road
to go, it let loose," she said.

Kids participate in the youth program at Bluegrass from the Forest 2010.
Cookin'
Continued from page B-1
"People are going to bring
their mandolins in from far
and wide and this expert
player is going to try them
out in front of an audience,"
he said. He'll assess the
sound ... it's been going on
for two years now it's really
popular."
The festival will also have
a band contest, a banjo con-
test, a youth music program,
a "band scramble," which
will assemble bands from
musicians drawn from a hat
and a preliminary round of
the 18 and under Acoustic
Heritage band contest. '
Linder said that some of
these things are unique to
Bluegrass From the Forest,
but there is one addition that
is entirely Mason County
specific.
"The shows are all indoors
which is often not the case
at bluegrass festivals," he
said. "They're all indoors so
the weather won't be a fac-
tor in the performance of the
shows."
Linder said that the fes-
tival isn't just about bring-
ing bluegrass enthusiasts
together, but also about ex-
posing everyone to quality
music.
"We're getting the best
bluegrass band and show-
ing people what high quality
bluegrass music really is,"
he said. "We want them to be
entertained."
Tickets and ticket loca-
tions are available online.
