This year, the Shelton Kiwan- is Foundation will be adding a very special new scholarship, the Dell Abelein Endowment Fund. This scholarship will be self-financing and will go exclusively to those working towards a career in education. The scholarship is named in memoriam of Dell Abelein, a 20-year member of Shelton Ki- wanis as well as a teacher who served our commu- nity for 30 years. After his passing on November 30, 2010, the Shelton Kiwanis was surprised to learn that he had left a substantial endowraent to serve as a source for educational scholarships. Therefore, the Shelton Kiwanis is proud to an- nounce the first Dell Abelein Endowment Scholar- ships. Brianna Barkley and Devin Marie Eliason will be the very first $1,000 Abelein Scholarships. Additionally, the Shelton Kiwanis Foundation will be awarding four $1,000 scholarships to Megan K. Brennan, Haley Field, Jessica Foster and Kathryn Meyers. For information about applying for a Shelton Kiwanis scholarship, please visit their website sheltozfldwams.org/foundation.php.

Religious student to study psychology, minor in photography By DEAN SIEMON Shelton High School se- hior Kristy Coughlin is a two-sport athlete that is set to major in psychology at Brigham Young University - Idaho. To escape from all the stress, Coughiin enjoys painting, which she began last year. '~here's something that's so relaxing," she said. But whether she uses pas- tels or acrylic paint, there will always be a mess af- terwards. "I usually end up with a couple of smudges on my face, especially when I'm painting a face," Coughlin said. Coughlin said she chose to major in psychology after taking courses at Shelton High School with teacher Nick Elmquist, along with sociology classes. "It's a very interesting class," she said. "There's almost no way to get bored." While she is sure she will earn an associates degree at least with a goal for a bach- elors degree, the chance of further studies is pending. "Depending on how I do and my interest continues, I would like to get a masters [degree]," Coughlin said. Coughlin said she is in- terested in pursuing a minor in photography, occasionally taking still photos of nature. "It's s~.nethmg that I'm good at," she said. "I'm think it's more talent to the photogra- pher if they capture the too- meat." The Shelton senior chose to accept her admission to BYU-Idaho for the school's atmosphere, which abides by her religious guidelines Kristy Coughlin set by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Coughlin said she was born and raised in the church through morn and dad, Carol and David Coughlin, with sisters Jaime and Kathleen. "It's a more religious based school," she said. "There won't be any drinking or frat parties." While holding a grade point average above 3.5, Coughlin has been a stu- dent-athlete at Shelton High School for three years in track and field (spring) and volleyball (fall). Track and field is her fa- vorite for the individual as- pect, with a focus on earning personal records. "It's more like you're competing against yourself and then the other athletes," she said. While succeeding in long jump and triple jump, Coughlin said her new favor- ite event is hurdles, which she ran one race this season. "Just the exhileration of the gun going off," she said. "Run as fast as you can and don't fall on your :face."
