Jillian Duncan selected as Stud nt of th Month Nineteen year-old Jil- lian Duncan of the Shelton C.H.O.I.C.E. High School was selected as Student of the Month for Febru- ary 2011. She was recog- nized for her outstanding accomplishments in her school and was honored by the Shelton Lions Club at their regular meeting on Tuesday, April 5, 2011. Jillian was a member of the CHOICE Leadership group and participated in the Winter Celebration every year. She felt it was such a good cause being able to help give to those less fortunate than her. She has volunteered at Helping Hands Massage Therapy. Jillian loves kids and babysits her nephew Jillian Duncan Jaxson whenever needed. Her morn is Cheryl Duncan and is presently a homemaker. Jillian will be getting married August 27, 2011 to Jesse Hutson. Her future educational plans are to attend Clover Park Technical College in the fall of 2011 and her major study plans are to be an ultrasound techni- cian. The collective efforts of the staff and faculty of the Shelton C.H.O.I.C.E. High School chose Jillian for her dedication to community service and high achieve- ments within the high school. Tiie "Student of the Month" is a program spon- sored by the Shelton Li- ons Club. It is designed to recognize students that possess qualities of ex- ceptional community in- volvement and high aca- demic achievements while attending the Shelton C.H.O.I.C.E. High School. Trumpeter Continued from page B-1 "What I would do is I would get up in the morning by fi a,m. get to work by 7 a.m., get home by 3 p.m., teach about a halfa dozen students a half an hour lesson each, which would take me up to 6 p.m.," he said. "Then I would go to a show or a rehearsal every night, study until about three in the morning, then crash." While music was an enormous part of his life, Leftler gave it up to build his four businesses in Shelton that let him and his wife live a happy, quiet life full of golfing and time spent going to symphonies and other events. "I first moved to Shelton in 1977 ... I grew to love this beautiful area," he said. Although he loved living in Shelton, Leffier said he gave up playing profession- ally because ~here were few opportunities in the area. "I got a little discouraged not being able to find high quality musicians to play with," he said. After the death of his beloved wife, Lef- tier went though a debilitating mourning period, and then one day, decided to hire a coach and pick up his horns again. "Even the emotional music that would m ke me c would be a relief1 a way to re- fresh myself so to speak because it would bring back fresh memories," he said. "But once I got involved with playing my horns, once you start actually concentrating on music, you can't think about anything else." Leffler said the time spent relearning how to be a world-class musician helped him pass the time it takes to mourn a loved one. "It took a year and a half for me practic- ing six hours a day to get almost back to where I was," he said. "Now I'm 70 years hold and it's a Hell of a lot harder." Today, Leffler is the principal trumpet with the Olympia Symphony Orchestra, and also plays with several other musical groups. Leffler's overarching message is don't give up - even when things look their worst, life can get better. For him, it was Chris Frost with Photo courtesy Washington State Senate Senator Tim Sheldon. Chris Frost serves as page for Senator Chris Frost, an eighth grade student attending Oakland Bay Junior High School, par- ticipated in the Senate Page Program at the Washington State Legislature in February. He was sponsored by Sena- tor Tim Sheldon, D-Potlatch. Pages deliver mail, run er- rands, present the flag and learn parliamentary procedure firsthand. Students also try their hand at drafting a bill and engage in a mock session. Frost is a member of Boy Scout Troop 110 and is work- ing on his Eagle Scout rank. He is the son of Amy and David Frost of Shelton. Cookin' Continued from page B-1 "And also the differ- ence between talking to and tallying wlth klds (Is important)," River said. A lot of people just talk to, and that child that was talked to has a much smaller vocabulary. While this year's pro- gram is almost over, River said that anyone, not just with kids attending Pio- neer, could inquire about the classes by calling the Pioneer School District. At every motheread meeting River said she organizes an activity re- lated to the books. For a story about a mouse, Riv- er and her students made cupcakes decorated like mice.
