EVERY YEAR, the Kansas City Symphony’s free Labor Day concert brings thousands of people to Shawnee Mission Park.

Why did you have Monday off work or school (if you’re one of the lucky ones who did)? The history of Labor Day dates back to the late 19th century, and it’s the topic of this week’s five questions. Answers pro-vided by the United States Depart-ment of Labor.

Q: So what exactly does Labor Day celebrate, anyway?

A: Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the con-tributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country.

Q: When was the first Labor Day celebrated?

A: The first ever Labor Day holi-day was celebrated Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union.

Q: How did it become a national holiday?

A: The first governmental rec-ognition came through municipal ordinances passed in 1885 and 1886. The first state to pass it as law was Oregon on Feb. 21, 1887. More states followed suit, and on June 28, 1894, Congress made it a national holiday.

Q: Who was behind the move-ment?

A: More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first pro-posed the holiday for workers. Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, was the first to suggest it. Others believe Matthew Maguire, a machinist, founded Labor Day.

Q: How many national holidays are there?

A: Eleven, starting with New Year’s Day and ending with Christ-mas. The next federal holiday com-ing up is Columbus Day, the second Monday of October.

David Moore wasn’t born in Shaw-nee, Okla., but he does feel a unique kinship with it: through the name of his own hometown.

That was enough to get the special projects organizer and co-president of Rebuilding Together Shawnee (Kansas) moving on a relief mission for the troubled town of 29,000 peo-ple. Much of Shawnee, Okla., was de-stroyed by a pair of tornadoes May 19, a day before an even bigger storm made national headlines in Moore, Okla.

“Immediately following the May storm, we wanted to do something as an organization to help the affected res-idents of Shawnee’s sister community,” Moore says. “Residents who were, to some degree, overlooked.”

The May tornadoes killed two people in Shawnee and damaged so much of

the town’s infrastructure that recovery efforts continue to this day, more than three months later.

“It just totally devastated some of the areas down there,” Moore says.

So Moore, through Rebuilding Together Shawnee, is organizing a weekend service trip to offer relief to tornado victims still struggling in the aftermath of the disaster. From Sept. 19 through 22, he’ll lead a group of 20 to 30 volunteers in partnership with the United Methodist Disaster Relief Team and American Red Cross to re-place windows, build walls, put up fencing and clear debris from yards and roadways.

“We felt that an organization such as ours, which is dedicated to helping homeowners in need, was a natural fit to step in and help these individuals and families continue the rebuilding pro-cess,” Morris says.

Shawnee seeks to fill opening on City Council

The city of Shawnee is accepting applications for a Ward 3 City Coun-cil seat after longtime Councilwoman Dawn Kuhn announced her resigna-tion last week.

At an Aug. 26 regular City Coun-cil meeting, Kuhn submitted her letter of resignation, ef-fective end-of-day Oct. 14, to Mayor Jeff Meyers.

“As you know, I plan to be married early next year and will soon be relocating out of Ward 3,” Kuhn wrote in her resignation, “but, I am glad to say, I will not be moving from Shawnee.”

A council member must maintain an address in the ward they represent.

“My fiance lives in Ward 4, not in Ward 3,” Kuhn explained the next morning from her office at Bank Mid-west, where she is vice president and banking center manager. “That means I won’t be a Ward 3 person anymore, so I wanted to make sure we had plen-ty of opportunity for someone else to step in before the next budget process begins.”

Kuhn, who joined the council in 2004, has a long history of civic ser-vice in Shawnee, including with the Shawnee Area Chamber of Commerce,

Shawnee Economic Development Council and Highland Ridge Homes Association.

“Nine years, wow,” Kuhn reflected. “It’s been a lot of stuff that’s happened. I’ll have to find some other way to fill my Monday nights,” she joked.

Asked whether she will pursue a future council seat in her new ward, Kuhn responded: “I have no idea what my new world will bring. I guarantee I’ll be active in the community some-where.”

Currently representing Ward 4 are Councilman Mickey Sandifer, whose term expires in 2015, and Council-woman Michelle Distler, who’s serving through 2017.

At a special meeting Oct. 28, the council will conduct applicant inter-views for the open Ward 3 seat, which will serve until the next general elec-tion, in April 2015, according to City Manager Carol Gonzales’ office.

Interested applicants may submit a resume and cover letter, a completed Declaration of Intent and a Statement of Substantial Interest to the City Clerk’s Office, 11110 Johnson Drive, or via email to [email protected] before 5 p.m. Oct. 22. Appli-cants must be residents of Ward 3 and registered to vote.

A packet of information containing the required forms, a description of the process, a Ward 3 map, and informa-tion regarding the role and responsibil-ities of council members is available on the city’s website, cityofshawnee.org.

LARGE SWATHS of Shawnee, Okla., were devastated by tornadoes in May, and residents there are still trying to recover from the damage. Rebuilding Together Shawnee is putting together a team of volunteers and raising money for a September mission trip to help tornado victims.

Disaster cleanup is not exactly in the mode of Rebuilding Together Shaw-nee’s usual work — April and October projects that focus on keeping John-son County residents in their homes through minor and, at times, extensive home renovations, all free of charge.

Local plumber Mike Walberg has been working with the nonprofit since it was founded in 2007. His team of volunteers from St. Joseph Church has done everything from general yard work to rebuilding a staircase and in-stalling a second-floor laundry room for a Shawnee couple with limited mo-bility.

While successful projects hinge on the availability of skilled laborers, Wal-berg says, volunteers with no experi-ence can make a big difference, too.

“I have one guy who’s a financial advisor, and he likes to work with a carpenter every year,” Walberg says. “They work real well together — it’s just amazing what some of these people can do.”

For the upcoming Oklahoma relief trip, Moore still is looking for skilled and unskilled volunteers, but monetary contributions also are welcome.

“Our goal is to raise $5,000 for sup-plies that we’ll buy down there to pump some income into that economy,” Moore says.

Interested volunteers and contribu-tors may call 913-248-2802 or email [email protected] for more info.

“This is the first project we’ve ever done outside the metro area,” Moore says. “We just feel a kinship, so we’re doing this special thing. They haven’t got the press or the publicity, but they still have the need.”

Pickleball Picnic planned for Antioch Park

It’s a Friday pickleball tourney starting at 10 a.m. at Antioch Park, 6501 Antioch in Merriam.

Pickleball play will take place on the park’s tennis courts, followed by a grilled lunch and meet-and-greet. Hot dogs and drinks will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring a dish to share.

Pickleball is a cross between tennis, badminton and table tennis played on a court with two players per side who use

a wiffle ball and paddles. The cost of the three-hour event is $5. To register, call 913-642-6410.

Sometimes I wonder how many friendships and family relationships “Antiques Roadshow” has put to the test over the years.

At least, that’s the impression that is left from watching the program from time to time on public television. Every so often, someone shows up with some din-gy painting or doo-dad that a friend or family member has given them as a housewarming gift or something, and it turns out it’s a long-lost artifact from upper nowhere that’s worth thou-sands of dollars.

It does raise an interesting question, to wit: What do you do when someone gives you a gift that turns out to be worth quite a lot of money? I don’t pre-tend to know the exact etiquette of the situation, but there are several possibil-ities. I guess if you look at it one way, then a gift is a gift and one shouldn’t feel any obligation to return it or com-pensate the donor if it turns out to be more valuable than anyone expected. On the other hand, if you gave someone a what-not that you later discovered was valuable, what would you expect?

Whatever. I am happy to report that our visit to “Antiques Roadshow,” which we accomplished when the crew set up shop in Bartle Hall last month, will engender no resentments

or raised eyebrows among our family and friends.

The wife and I were lucky enough to get tickets to the event on Aug. 10, and so we loaded up a couple of items each and went off to see what they were

worth. As it happened, everything we took we either purchased our-selves or inherited from family members who have long since gone to their reward.

And it turned out, the stuff wasn’t worth much anyway. The clos-est thing to an exception

was an 18th-century prayer book that I bought in a used book store in Eng-land in 1965; it was still in its original binding, the appraiser said, and was complete, and so would be worth about $200 – a considerable appreciation over the equivalent to $2.45 that I paid for it almost 50 years ago.

But the other stuff was pretty much a no-show. I also took a painting I bought in 1959 that turned out to be a print ($50), and my wife took an antique doll with a value of about $40 (purchased at Woolworth’s, the appraiser said), and a few egg cups worth about the same.

So, don’t look for us when the show airs in the next season, whenever that will be.

Still, although we were denied our moment in the spotlight, such fame is fleeting anyway, and we had a good time in the bargain.

BRINGING YOU THE NEWS DAILY ONLINE AND IN PRINT


School is already underway at Maranatha Christian Academy with two familiar faces noticeably absent from the K-12 school’s leadership team.

Longtime elementary Principal Laura Burch and high school Prin-cipal Boyd Beck retired from their positions last month.

“It was a decision I prayed about and felt like this was my answer, that there were other things (to do). And I thoroughly enjoyed being at Ma-

ranatha, but it’s time to move on,” Burch said.

Taking their places are Virginia Watt, the new elementary principal, and Ron Fritz, who is serving as high school principal.

Between the two of them, Burch and Beck served more than 50 years at Maranatha. Burch started the school’s Learning Center, which of-fers additional instructional support for Maranatha’s elementary school students, in 1989. After serving as Learning Center coordinator for two years, she then became elementary school principal, a position she held for the last 22 years.

“Well, it’s not only a great aca-demic school, but it is a place where children basically learn to serve the

Lord,” Burch said. “It’s wonderful. I enjoyed the people that I worked with. … You can’t ask for a better staff.”

Burch said she will also miss the students.

“They’re great,” she said. “They’re obedient, they’re kind, they’re just a lot of fun.”

Beck started out as the high school Bible teacher, with later positions including guidance counselor and high school vice principal. He also coached basketball for 23 years.

“I’ve really felt like this is where my ministry is,” said Beck, who had previously taught at a Chris-tian school in Denver, Colo., before taking the job at Maranatha. “And I just felt like this is where God called me.”

The students will leave a lasting impression on Beck.

“I enjoy their enthusiasm and their energy,” he said. “I love the ministry that we have through all aspects of the school. It’s a good school.”

Both Burch and Beck said they have plans to spend their retirement traveling and spending time with family.

“I have 14 grandkids I plan to spend a lot of time with,” Beck said.

They leave their position in the experienced hands of Watt and Fritz. Watt previously was head of the Lower School at St. Paul’s Epis-copal Day School in Kansas City, Mo., while Fritz comes to the posi-tion having experience as a teacher, coach, activities director and school administrator.

“I am looking forward to join-ing Maranatha Christian Academy faculty and staff, the families, and students,” Watt said. “I want to con-tribute positively to what makes Ma-ranatha’s education an exceptional preparation for a Christian life.”

LEFT PHOTO: THIS 1947 Chrysler Town & Country caught the eye of more than a few people at the 2008 Wheels & Dreams. ABOVE: KEN AND CHERYL BURNETT of Mission make a fashionably late entrance at the 2012 Wheels & Dreams show in down-town Shawnee. Ken Burnett, who built the 17.5-foot motorized trike, took home a sponsor’s trophy for the unusual vehicle.

WHEELS & DREAMSThe Wheels & Dreams Car, Truck

and Bike Show will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. It will block off all Johnson Drive traffic from Splash Cove east to KC Trends, as well as a block north and south on Nieman Road. The event is free to attend; $25 to register a vehicle for showing. Highlights will include door prizes, trophies and a grand prize of $500 cash. Downtown food vendors will be out selling food and drinks.

If you’re into the classics, head to downtown Shawnee this Sunday. You won’t find Bill Shakespeare or Jane Austen, but a swarm of

souped-up vehicles will surely stir more than a little pride and prejudice.

The Wheels & Dreams Car, Truck and Bike Show is entering its eighth year, and organizers predict it will be their biggest yet.

“We’re hoping for 350 cars, trucks and bikes,” says Mike Unterreiner, chairman of the downtown business association, which hosts the event. “And a big crowd. There’s usually about 2,500 people.”

Unterreiner, who owns Hartman Hardware on Johnson Drive, says that historically Wheels & Dreams has pro-

vided a big boost to the downtown economy.

“It’s probably one of our biggest dates of the year — it’s a huge, huge deal.”

But the main goal of the car show, which features everything from classic hot rods to homemade motorcycles, is to raise money for victims of domestic violence through nonprofit Shawnee SAFEHOME. This year, organizers also selected an anonymous local family in need to receive a portion of the pro-ceeds.

“This one’s special, too, because we’re going to help out a 4-year-old Shawnee boy who has cancer,” explains Don Sin-go, the event’s secretary and certified classic-car guru.

The 70-year-old Shawnee resident

has been “messing with old cars and hot rods all my life,” he admits with a laugh.

“When I was 16, my dad bought me a ’52 Chevy out of a salvage yard for $35. That’s sort of how it got started.”

Today, Singo owns four classic cars, including a 1959 Chevy Impala with a 348 engine and a 1950 Chevy hot rod with burgundy flames. He’s part of a network of classic car enthusiasts throughout Johnson County who “talk about cars and old times, what needs to be fixed and how to fix it.” Many of them will be showing off their wheels Sunday, he says.

“It’s something that gets into your blood and you have a good time with it,” Singo says. “It brings back your child-hood.”

SURVIVAL

MODE

For 15 years, Mukhtar Raja gradu-ally built his dream career as a small business owner in Shaw-

nee. Now, he says, a construction proj-ect that started in April is set to derail everything.

“In the past five months, I’ve lost $100,000,” says Raja, who owns the Phil-lips 66 gas station on Midland Drive, just south of Shawnee Mission Park-way, where orange cones and piles of earth obscure the entrance to his store. A hundred feet away, tucked among front-end loaders and hard-hatted con-struction workers, is a sign posted by the city: “Phillips 66 open during con-struction.”

For Raja, it hasn’t made a difference.“I’ve lost more than 60 percent of my

business,” he explains. “I had to let go most of my workers. In the parking lot, it’s usually just my car now, because I’m working here myself. When the road wasn’t under construction, I was mak-ing it.”

Raja was hoping to wait out the proj-ect and keep his business afloat, but backups in construction have delayed things to a critical point. He says he’ll give it until the end of September, then

file for bankruptcy if he must. But that won’t be long enough, according to Doug Wesselschmidt, Shawnee’s direc-tor of development services and city engineer.

“I just reviewed the schedule with the developer earlier this week,” Wes-selschmidt says. “All of that roadwork will be completed by the end of Octo-ber, so there’s about two months left.”

Wesselschmidt says the city has been working with businesses on the south side of the roadway throughout the project.

“We’re staying in pretty good contact with the Bank Midwest” on the corner of Pflumm Road, he says, “as well as the Phillips 66, making sure we’ve got extra signage out there so customers know they’re open for business.”

Gary Richerson, who manages the Savers Thrift Store south of the park-way, says working with the contrac-tors has been a mostly positive expe-rience.

“Of course construction’s frustrating at times,” he says. “The most frustrat-ing thing is so many projects going at once. But they do seem to pay attention to traffic patterns and see what they can do to make it work.”

Richerson has been with Savers since it opened last July. He thinks being a

niche retailer has helped it weather the construction project’s bumps in the road.

“Being a destination location, we’ve been pretty fortunate,” he explains. “We do hear from some customers that they don’t want to go through the construction mess — they’ll go to other stores instead. Then we have our die-hards who’ll drive through any high wa-ter to get here.”

But while that’s true for businesses like Savers and Bank Midwest, which have specialized services and dedicated clients, convenience stores like Raja’s largely rely on pop-in business from drivers looking for a quick pit stop, he says.

“I’m the gas station guy. If there’s construction, there’s a gas station on every corner. Why would they turn in here and get mixed up in all this?”

City Councilman Mickey Sandifer calls Raja “a friend.” Raja once em-ployed Sandifer’s son-in-law, he says, and he’s sympathetic to his plight.

“I don’t really know what else can be done to attract more to him,” Sandifer says. “The project on Shawnee Mission Parkway there at Pflumm is moving quite fast.”

CONSTRUCTION NEAR the intersection of Shawnee Mission Parkway and Pflumm Road is expected to last through October. A small white sign marks the entrance to the Savers Thrift Store on the south side of the roadway.

As for Raja’s store going out of busi-ness: “I would really hate to see that happen,” Sandifer adds. “That construc-tion was supposed to make access easi-er to existing businesses, though I’m not going to question the point that it may deter some people.”

For now, Raja says, he’s thankful for the kindness of the few Phillips 66 cus-tomers who are helping keep his head above water.

“They tell me, ‘Hey, we’re coming here just to feed your kid,’” he jokes.

He’s hopeful that construction work-

ers from the project or city employees will hear about his struggles, stop in for a tank of gas or a bite to eat. But Raja also admits he’s tiring of the whole process, losing faith that anyone who could affect change will make a serious effort in time.

“I just keep quiet, but I don’t know what to do,” he says. “All that I’ve built in 15 years, I’m going to lose it in one shot.”

Mill Valley's strong fall campaign in 2012 kicked off the best year in sports in school history. From cross-country winning another pair of league titles and finishing two girls runners in the top 10 at state to the volleyball team advancing to its first state title, high-lights were plentiful last year.

Not much is expected to change as some of fall's top teams will return many of its key contributors from a year ago, keeping expectations high. Here's what to expect this season at Mill Valley.

defend their league titles this year, each seeking consecutive champion-ships: for the boys, a 2013 title would

By Stephen [email protected]

Shawnee Mission Northwest’s fall sports teams are coming off a year in which one, the boys cross-country team, took home a state championship and others (boys soccer and cross-country) came up just short of making state tournament runs of their own.

Here’s what to expect from SM Northwest’s fall sports programs in 2012.

Cross-countryThe reigning 6A boys champions re-

turn seniors Connor McDonald (12th at state) and Nate Sterns in addition to junior Jake Malik and sophomore Chandler Bado. Meanwhile, the sev-enth-place girls team returns seniors Hayley Nugent and Tori Tummons and juniors Carson Wapp and Gabi Basel. Nugent finished inside the top 50 at state last year. Coach Van Rose expects the boys’ top state competition to be Wichita North, Olathe North and Manhattan, while the girls will need to contend with Olathe East, Olathe Northwest and Manhattan. In the first

round of state cross-country rankings,released last week, SM Northwest is fourth in the 6A boys rankings andfifth in the 6A girls rankings.

Girls golfCoach John Reiff’s team returns two

varsity letter winners in junior Megan Glenn and sophomore Abbey Radma-nesh while sophomore Kamryn Kozi-ol will make the transition up fromjunior varsity. Incoming freshmanGabby Cortez also figures to help the team, Reiff said, as it seeks to qualify agolfer for state for the seventh straight season.

Girls tennisState qualifier Claire Gordon and

fellow grad Brooke Evans must be re-placed, but coach Ken Clow said the Cougars expect to field a deep team of12 seniors. “We should be very solid,” he said.

Back this year are Lexy Drummond,Lauren Benjamin, Amanda Rebori,Colleen Freeman, Carli Olson, Faith Bryant, Gabby Whitmore Zoe Zim-

Out of all the big plays during St. James Academy’s Thursday scrim-mage, the biggest plays came from the quarterbacks and their legs.

Starting senior quarterback Alex King and freshman Sammy Wheeler turned option reads into 50- and 80-yard runs, respectively, as well as some significant shorter ones. Despite having some new faces at the position, Thunder quarterbacks are not lacking in explosiveness.

“We always try to put one of our best athletes at quarterback,” coach Tom Radke said. “He’s got to be multi-dimensional. Our quarterbacks, all the way down to the freshmen played well tonight, had some long runs. It’s just the option that we run out of.”

Radke said the team would work on that during the week leading up to Fri-day’s season opener against Paola.

A scrimmage can only show so much about how a team will fare in the regular season, but it looks like the Thunder’s strength is speed. And a heavy running game is all fine for senior lineman David Feist, who much prefers to run block rather than pass block.

“We’re not going to run as many power plays this year, so we’ve got to be quicker,” senior lineman Da-vid Feist said. “On the line, I was the

only one returning, so we’ve had to go through all that again.”

The coaching transition has been easier, though. This being Radke’sthird year, he has had time to instill his coaching philosophy and those under-classmen from his first year are now the team’s leaders.

During the team’s first seven-on-seven workout, one of the coachesasked what they were going to do withthe team. On the way home, Radkelaid out his plan. Essentially, it was tobuild men.

“If we have good Christian men, then everything will work itself out,” Radke said. “When you do everything the right way, then it’s going to carryout on the field then they’re going todo that the right way.”

With soccer and volleyball events over the weekend, it was a signifi-cant way for St. James to start the fall sports season. Thursday’s scrimmage also marked the only home game of the year because “home” with the quo-tation marks means St. Thomas Aqui-nas. It was an easygoing atmosphere,but there was plenty of support on the sideline.

“We had our great band out here tonight and the dancers,” Radke said. “Everybody got to do their stuff in front of our home, on our campus. That’s a big deal since we don’t havemany facilities here to do the stuff onour campus.”

By Corey ThibodeauxSpecial to The Dispatch

After Friday's Mill Valley Night Lights, the Jaguars don’t seem any closer to making a decision on the team’s starting quarterback.

Coach Joel Applebee is still waiting for one of three candidates — senior Dylan Cole, junior Ty Bruce and soph-omore Logan Koch — to separate him-self. Since the offseason couldn’t yield a go-to passer, it looks like the regular season will have to sort that out. Ap-plebee said after the scrimmage that the team will make a decision on the starter by Tuesday of game week.

"Now, they're all going to be on the field in some way at some point in time,” he said. “They're all too good of athletes not to have on the field. We're going to find some place for them."

Friday would have been an ideal time to witness the play styles of each player, but watching the scrimmage became an exercise in deciphering binary code. Each quarterback and offensive playmaker wore a number "1" on their jersey while most of the defense sported "0"s. Don’t read too much into it. "I just got tired of match-ing up numbers on offense and de-fense," Applebee said.

Senior linebacker Micah Clark said, who plays against them every practice, gave an assessment on the trio. Cole, who comes from Independence, Mo.,

can use his size to bowl over defend-ers, whereas Koch is a slippery scram-bler. Bruce might be the most bal-anced, pro-style passer the team has. "You've got to adjust to whatever's out there,” Clarke said. “Having three guys that play at such a high level is going to be really good for us."

The only three offensive touch-downs were 80-yarders: Nick Wilson ran up the right side for one while Christian Jegen and Chase Midyett navigated the defense for impressive catch-and-runs. The defense won the scrimmage, 28-21, but players still think this offense will be an asset in 2013.The scrimmage was the main attraction of a long night at Mill Val-ley with football scrimmages of every age group, K-12. The atmosphere was just like a regular game and the stands were near capacity.

"Tonight was mostly about the little kids,” Applebee said. “We wanted to give them a chance to be on the field and enjoy playing under the lights."

Mill Valley starts the season at home Friday against Manhattan, one of just two teams to defeat the Jaguars last year. As far as scheduling games to prepare for the post-season go, this is as challenging as it gets. "Not too many people have that chance to go up against a bigger team, especially with our lineup, we're pumped," senior Ian Calkins said. “It’s going to be a good game.”

merman, and Brooke Bennett. Freshman Tamera Horton and for-

eign exchange student Mirell (Memo) Molder also figure to contribute.

GymnasticsCoach Cindy Beason returns after

her debut season in 2012. The Cougars must replace seniors Amy Hein and Scottie Shelby but do return seniors Grace Gregory and Mallory Wilhite in addition to junior Katie Sigman.

Boys soccerIn 2012, the Cougars nearly pulled

off one of the state’s biggest upsets in state quarterfinal play against top-seeded Blue Valley Northwest. In the final minute of overtime, Blue Valley

Northwest notched the game’s lone goal to end the Cougars’ season at 9-8-2. A late-season surge was partly responsible for coach Todd Boren’s team being in position to nearly shake up the state tournament. Back this year will be senior goalkeeper Steven Skells, junior Sam Nobrega, senior Evan Miller, senior Hunter Thompson and senior Collin Jones. Meanwhile, the Cougars will be seeking to replace the graduated Andy Alvey, Junior Ag-bor and Cody and Tyler Sliva among others.

VolleyballFirst-year coach Sarah Silva takes

over a SM Northwest volleyball team that finished one match shy of advanc-ing to the 6A state tournament. The Cougars return a senior-heavy roster and will be led by Gabrielle Riggs, Lindsey Unrein, Madison Frazier, Kate Helfrich, Abigail Born and Caro-lina Mach.

be their fifth straight and the girls, a second straight.

Defending KVL champion C.J. Meeks returns as do state qualifiers Graham Wilson and Derek Meeks. Meanwhile, the girls return both of their top-10 state finishers in Am-ber Akin (sixth at the 2012 5A meet) and Ellie Wilson (eighth). Mill Val-ley's girls team made it to its second straight state meet at Rim Rock in Lawrence last year, but the boys had a four-year streak snapped in 2012.

Girls golfFirst-year coach Jack Johnson wel-

comed back the bulk of last year's squad. Seniors Laurel Knust and Bail-ee Fleming will be joined by juniors Holly Webb and Brittani Jensen.

“As a team, Mill Valley may be field-ing it’s best team yet,” Johnson said.

Jenson has several Division I schol-arship offers, Johnson said, but will be sidelined for most of the season with a wrist injury. Among the Jaguars' most promising newcomers is freshman Meg Green, who is poised to be Mill Valley's No. 2 golfer.

Girls tennisState-qualifiers junior Mikaela Mc-

Cabe (No. 2 singles last year) and sophomore Paige Weibe (No. 2 dou-bles last year) return to lead a young

Jaguars squad this season. Fellow state qualifier Sarah Wetzel, who played No.1 singles all for years at Mill Valley, has graduated. Coach Alyssa Meyer said Mill Valley had more than 50 girls come out for tennis this year, but that the Jaguars will need to replace four of the team's six regional team members from last year.

Boys soccerAfter finishing just one score shy of

advancing to the state playoffs, Arlan Vomhof's boys soccer team will look to follow in the footsteps of the girls soccer team, which has advanced to the state tournament's final four teams in back-to-back seasons. J.D. Dan-dridge and Jack Lopez return to a pro-gram that fielded 33 student-athletes this fall and is poised to again be in the discussion for a league championship.

VolleyballAfter reaching the 5A state tourna-

ment for the first time in program his-tory, second-year coach Whitney Rev-elle has set the bar nearly as high as it can go entering her sophomore season as head coach. "With six returning seniors," she said, "we have the capa-bility to repeat our success from last year.”

Among the Jaguars' top returners are Molly Oshinski on the outside, Hannah Billings leading the offense, Taylor Cowan in the middle and Abby Ford leading the defense, Revelle said.

"(Billings) is a player that most coaches would die to have at some point in their coaching career."
