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.

"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

"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

er and her students made
