Deputy Sheriff Terry Harper

were involved in an accident in
which their pickup went into a
canal at SK Farms near Board-
man. One of the people was trap­
ped in the pickup and Deputy
Harper administered mouth to

Unfortunately, the victim did not
survive.
Tricia Wetzel and Shauna
Bates, both of Boardman, were
honored for their participation in
the rescue of a girl who had slip­
ped under the murky water at the

under water several times until
she found the unconscious and
non-breathing victim and pulled
her to shore.
Bates, a freshman at the
University of Oregon who was an
employee of the park, started
CPR on the victim until she began
breathing. Still unconscious, the
vicitm was flown to Portland and

recovery. Ironically, the victim
was the daughter of a deputy of

The Birth of Jesus
....
Luke 2: 1-20
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that
a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This
was the first census that took place while Quirinius was
governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town
to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in
Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David,
because he belonged to the house and line of David. He
went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be
married to him and was expecting a child.
W hile they were there, the time cam e for the baby to
be born, and she gave birth to her first born, a son.
She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger,
because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields near­
by, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of
the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord
shone around them, and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them , ‘‘Do not be afraid I bring
you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you;
he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will
find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a m anger.”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host ap­
peared with the angel, praising God and saying,
"G lory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to
men on whom his favor rests.”
W hen the angels had left them and gone into heaven,
the shepherds said to one another, “ Let’s go to
Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which
the Lord has told us about.”
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and
the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had
seen him they spread the word concerning what had been
told them about this child, and all who heard it were amaz­
ed at what the shepherds said to them
But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered
them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and
praising God for all the things they had heard and seen,
which were just as they had been told.
