A FORMER Tonganoxie High School student donates blood in this file photo taken during a Community Blood Center drive at the THS gymnasium.
Stann Tate, marketing director with the Community Blood Center of Greater Kansas City, discusses the need for blood donations.
Q: How has Superstorm Sandy affected blood donation needs?
A: We did not have much of a re-quest from the East Coast to help with Superstorm Sandy. The Com-munity Blood Center supplies 70 hospitals throughout Kansas City and Missouri. We did send dona-tions to CBC of the Ozarks follow-ing the Joplin tornado.
Q: Is there a time of year when blood donation is needed more?
A: Yes. It is very hard for us to collect blood coming up toward Thanksgiving. This time of year, people have got to get ready for family coming, Christmas shop-ping and holiday planning. A lot of times, people put donating blood on the back burner with the colder weather.
Q: How often can people donate blood?
A: Whole blood every 56 days; platelets every 14 days.
Q: How long after blood is do-nated can it be used?
A: Shelf life of blood is 42 days, the first five committed to test-ing. Platelets’ shelf life is only five days, the first two reserved for testing. We always need people to help not only CBC, but cowork-ers and family who need blood. One day it may be you who needs blood.
Q: What can folks do to organize a blood drive?
A: You can give our recruitment staff a call to help throughout the entire process, 816-753-4040 or visit savealifenow.org. We provide you with all the materials, signage and electronic messaging to make sure you hold a successful blood drive.

Students, De Soto board debate hiring of accompanist
No decisions either way have been made, but a choir accompanist at Mill Valley High School may be in the school’s future after students, parents and the school’s choir director made impassioned pleas for the addition Monday night.
But that’s still a big may, with the is-sue of funding keeping several board members on the fence.
“We know that this isn’t the only request for staff that we couldn’t fund with our limited budget,” said Tim Blankenship, board president.
Those asking for an accompanist during the patron input portion of the meeting argued that choir director Sheree Stoppel wasn’t able to give the attention to students that they need when she also must split her time learn-ing the accompaniment. Instead of standing in front of the choir, Stoppel essentially conducts from the seat be-hind the piano, where “she can’t hear all the mistakes that we may be making,” said junior Emily Leonard.
“It’s hard to pick out all those little different things that you can hear be-hind a podium,” she said.
Senior Misty Adkins said not having someone out front and center to guide her had “taken away from me as a stu-dent.”
Mill Valley’s choir and choral ensem-bles are growing, Stoppel said. Current-ly there are 54 students in mixed choir and 48 in the Jag Chorale.
“We’ve reached a point where they have to have a conductor to follow,” she said. “I need to be able to assess them and give them immediate feedback.”
The request on the table, said par-ent Dave Hanson, was for a part-time accompanist, who would work three to four hours per day with the choirs, five days per week, and also during perfor-mances. The going rate for such an ac-companist, he said, is about $15 to $20 an hour.
“It certainly isn’t the lowest amount, but it certainly isn’t the highest,” he said, looking at area districts such as Shawnee Mission, Blue Valley and Basehor-Linwood. “We are the only
area 5A school that doesn’t have an ac-companist on staff as part of the annual budget.”
Though board members didn’t di-rectly address the issue during patron input, a lengthy and, at times, heated discussion between attendees and those sitting at the board table devel-oped later in the meeting. Board mem-bers Bill Fletcher and Tammy Thomas were vocal in their support of the re-quest.
“I can’t sit here and say that we shouldn’t support our choir in this ca-pacity. It’s essential. We have a grow-ing program,” said Thomas. “My ques-tion then would be if we’re not going to support it now, what’s the magic num-ber when we start supporting it?”
Other board members questioned why the staffing request was brought to the board in the first place. Member Dick Dearwester said he was under the mistaken impression that Mill Valley administrators had met with the con-cerned parents already and a solution had been worked out as to how the ac-companist could be paid for with build-ing funds.
“It really is not a function of us as it relates to teaching or to teachers,” Dearwester said, “and it really needs to be an element of the administration of that particular school.”
It’s not that the district doesn’t want to provide the service, said Superin-tendent Doug Sumner, who added, “I would love nothing more than to let you leave tonight and go home happy.”
“We’ve had to say ‘no’ to so many people that now I have to find a way to justify this against those things,” he said, referencing the district’s reduced staff in such areas as counseling and English language learners.
Sumner and other board members agreed that a decision couldn’t be made so quickly, but Sumner invited further discussion on the subject.
“What I’d like to see us do is I’d like to see us turn the corner on this con-versation a bit from a staffing issue to an instructional issue,” said Sumner. “I think (that) is the best leg for this re-quest to stand on. ...That’s something that we need to do and see where that takes us.”

reational but also provide transporta-tion,” Holman said.
The end game, he said, is the devel-opment of park space within a third of a mile of every home in Shawnee and safe walking and biking pathways that link together all schools, parks and other public places.
Part of a larger webBy the time Shawnee reaches that
point, its trail web will be connected to those of other cities through the larger Metro Green greenway sys-tem, added Holman, who serves on the Mid-America Regional Council’s Bicycle-Pedestrian Advisory Commit-tee.
“We are working on a big loop around the entire metro area,” Hol-man said, noting that a trail along In-terstate 35 will one day link Johnson County and downtown Kansas City.
Meanwhile, plans are being made to extend the popular Katy Trail 15 miles east to St. Louis and 80 miles west to the Kansas City area, he said.
Closer to home, Shawnee plans to extend its Clear Creek trail west of K-7 to Clare Road, serving Bel-mont Elementary along the way, then southwesterly past Mize Elementary. Ultimately, Holman added, the trail will extend to far western Shawnee’s border with Lenexa, where it will con-nect with that city’s trail system.
Shawnee was the first city in the Kansas City area to draft and adopt a bicycle transportation plan that in-corporates both on-road and off-road bicycle routes. And as a result of that plan and early steps toward imple-menting it, the city was named one of Kansas’ first Bicycle-Friendly Com-munities by the League of American Bicyclists in 2003.
Grants, sales tax paving wayHolman’s grant-writing efforts
have secured roughly $3 million in federal funding, covering nearly 80 percent of the cost of the Clear Creek trail’s development and furthering the city’s standing as a cycling mec-ca.
But Holman said future trail devel-opment could grind to a halt if Shaw-nee voters do not extend Parks and Pipes, a one-eighth cent city sales tax
scheduled to expire in 2015. Proceeds from the tax are split evenly between park and stormwater projects, Hol-man said, and the parks portion has been used to satisfy the 20 percent matching fund requirements that have been neces-sary in attracting federal grants for trail develop-ment.
According to Holman, Shawnee conducts needs a s s e s s m e n t s among its residents every five years, “and hiking and biking trails are al-ways the No. 1 thing people tell us they want.”
In the process of fulfilling that de-mand, the city has created a hip new cycling culture, said Thomas of local-cycling.com.
While building his business to in-clude cycling events in five other metropolitan areas, Thomas has seen Shawnee become one of the most popular cycling venues in the Kansas
City area due to its annual Tour de Shawnee rides plus events his com-pany sponsors.
Those include free weekly group rides for bicyclists of all skill levels starting from Shawnee locations in-
cluding Bates City BBQ, Scooter’s, and Aunt Jean’s Gelato and Cof-fee.
In addition, lo-calcycl ing.com sponsors cyclo-cross racing on
challenging 2.5-mile courses laid out in Stump and Herman Laird parks during the September through Febru-ary cyclocross season.
Developed as a means for keeping competitive cyclists fit during the winter, cyclocross has become “the growth area for cycle racing,” Thom-as said. And Shawnee has become a leading cyclocross venue, attracting entrants from across the Midwest with its challenging courses and the partylike atmosphere created on race
days, he said.
Cycling and recyclingTo pay Shawnee back for the use of
its venues and to help introduce cy-cling to new generations, localcycling.com has been volunteering its servicesfor a new city program called Keep theWheels Turning, which repairs and re-cycles bicycles for needy children.
The program, which also involvesthe Shawnee Rotary Club, waslaunched last year and will have dis-tributed about 230 bikes by the end ofthis year, Holman said.
An official with Catholic Charitiescried when the program presented 60bicycles to tornado victims in Joplin,Mo., last year, Holman said. And the80 bikes it is preparing to donate tothe Johnson County Christmas Bureauare expected to spawn more tears ofjoy this holiday season.
“We have bikes donated everyweek,” said Holman, surrounded bya sea of bicycles in a former fire sta-tion bay. “Without this program, thesewould all be thrown in the dump.”

STEPHEN MONTEMAYORSPORTSTWEET #SHAWNEESPORTS TO JOIN THE CONVERSATION
More often than not, members of the Mill Valley football team would bea vocal presence at their school’s vol-leyball matches — including makingthe trip up to Leavenworth with coach Joel Applebee to watch the Jaguars roll to a sub-state championship.
The show of support at once gave the girls an added advantage and dis-pelled any notions that the two teamsmay have been competing with one another for the distinction of the school’s legends of the fall.
In coach Whitney Revelle’s first sea-son, the volleyball team cruised to a 32-8 finish, setting a school record for most victories. It defeated teams likeOttawa for the first time in years, wentundefeated in Kaw Valley League playfor the first time and advanced to its first ever state tournament.
All season, as the Jaguars extended their winning streak in league playand turned in impressive showings atweekend tournaments, a positive atti-tude was ever present.
If this season wasn’t enough, theJaguars return nine of the 11 players on this year’s varsity roster, graduatingMolly Kelley and Molly Miller. Next year’s team will return six seniors — Abby Ford, Molly Oshinski, Hannah Billings, Alexis Crispin, Gabby Fang-man and Taylor Cowan — to a squadthat now has an all-important first state visit out of the way. This season,those juniors, plus a sophomore Mad-die Little, took turns coming throughwhen their team needed a momentum-swinging block, kill or ace serve. Onecan only imagine how they will follow up a banner year.
•••All season, Mill Valley football
stood head and shoulders above its competition in the Kaw Valley League.Unfortunately, an eight-game winning streak in which each game was decid-ed by double digits couldn’t prepare the Jaguars for what awaited in theplayoffs.
For a consecutive season, the Jag-uars were bounced from the firstround, falling 41-23 on Nov. 2 to Bish-op Miege. This one stung more thanmost.
An 18-man-deep senior class helpedraise expectations to their highest lev-el. Even in defeat, the Jaguars weren’t through breaking records.

Mary Slattery didn’t look to be a bas-ketball player at Kansas University.
The 2012 Shawnee Mission North-west graduate played basketball and tennis for the Cougars but at 5 feet tall wasn’t a candidate for a basketball scholarship at a Division I school like KU.
She enjoyed her sports career at SM Northwest, though, and wanted to
continue competing at the next level.“Sports have always been an ex-
tremely important part of my life,” she said. “They helped make high school an amazing experience for me. I knew I wanted to get involved in college so sports seemed like the logical place to try to do so.”
And she did find a sport she could participate in at the collegiate level: rowing.
“My mom rowed at KU when she was in college so it had always been on
my radar as an option,” she said. “I de-cided that if there was any way I could play a sport at KU, I was not going to pass the opportunity up.
“Rowing was that opportunity. I signed up at the rowing booth on Se-nior Day and went from there.”
SM Northwest girls basketball coach Jeff Dickson added: “She knows how to face and overcome adversity with a smile on her face and will be a valu-

Rebeck reaches state, national record booksFOOTBALL
By Stephen Montemayorsmontemayor@theworldco.info
A closer look at the disappointment of Mill Valley’s season-ending loss to Bishop Miege last week revealed something else — something historic.
Mill Valley senior Staton Rebeck’s 19 receptions tied a state record for most receptions in the game, recog-nized by the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame. Meanwhile, his nine catches in the fourth quarter are the third-most all-time in the nation, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations.
Rebeck finished the game with 19 catches for 173 yards. His nine fourth-quarter catches came on the game’s
final drive. Rebeck tied three other players in the Kansas record book, matching a feat not accomplished since 1994.
The 41-23 loss ended the Jaguars’ season at 8-2. Mill Valley won the Kaw Valley League with a 6-0 record.
Rebeck led the Jaguars in catches with 53 receptions and finished with 627 yards and eight touchdowns.
Meanwhile, on Oct. 26 against Lan-sing, junior kicker Connor Mills tied the state record with 11 PATs in a game during the Jagaurs’ 77-33 District 2 championship victory. Mills tied a record set in 1989.
Mill Valley will celebrate its season with its annual banquet at 6 p.m. on Nov. 29.

When it came time for Kansas City Kansas Community College women’s soccer coach Ruben Rodriguez to choose three captains for the inaugu-ral athletic program, one area athlete stood out.
Shawnee Mission North alum Gab-by Martinez had sent Rodriguez an email seeking out the position, touting her skills.
“She was very confident and looked like she was a self-motivator,” Rodri-guez said. “I was impressed with that. That’s why I finally decided to make her the captain.”
The all-freshman Lady Blue Devil squad, with Marti-nez at the helm, fin-ished its first season last month with a loss to Barton Coun-ty Community Col-lege to finish 1-15.
The freshman midfielder was one of two area athletes that played for the Blue Devils this sea-son, with Shawnee Mission Northwest graduate Ericka Marquez regularly contributing to the squad as a forward.
As a glance at its record indicates, the new program struggled in its conference, which includes Johnson County Community College and But-ler County Community College.
“The results didn’t necessarily go our way,” Rodriguez said.
Acknowledging that the record in-cluded a staggering number of losses, Rodriguez was quick to add that more than half of the games were “very close.”
“As far as the performance, we were very satisfied,” he said.
Generally, first-year programs don’t set expectations too high, Rodriguez said, but her team’s were a little bit higher. For Martinez, success isn’t gauged by wins or losses but rather what level the team plays at.
“Record doesn’t mean anything,“ she said. “It’s about how you play on that field and how much you give.”
Marquez, who played junior varsity for the Cougars last season, said los-ing games was something she had to
adjust to.“I, for myself and for the team, had
really high expectations,” Marquez said. “My team was pretty good in high school.”
Starting any program can cause headaches for both athletes and ad-ministrators. KCKCC’s late approval of the program last February pushed back recruiting time for the coaching staff by more than two months.
“Anytime you start a new program, you are going to have growing pains,” athletic director Dan Pratt said. “We did not expect to compete with the top level of our conference, but we still did compete.”
Another element serious lacking for the new program this season was a home field. Throughout the season, the Blue Devils played at the Overland Park Soccer Complex almost 25 miles away.
Construction is almost finished on a $5 million soccer, track and baseball complex at the college, slated to be completed early next month.
“It was definitely different,” Mar-tinez said of playing with a new pro-gram. “We didn’t have that chemis-try.”
Individually, Martinez said, she’s gotten more aggressive throughout the season and she hopes to carry that momentum with her next season.
Rodriguez said both girls bring a unique level of enthusiasm and energy to the team.
“Those girls are very energetic,” he said. “Obviously Gabby brings her leadership qualities, which were an as-set to the team. And Ericka, her excite-ment spreads to the rest of the team.”
Considering where her skills were at toward the beginning of the season, Marquez said she is pleased she sur-vived the season and playing soccer at the collegiate level.
“I definitely have improved and am proud of myself because I didn’t think I would make it,” she said.
On returning next season, Marquez said she is looking forward to getting on the field again and building off the skills developed throughout the last few months.
Endurance and a willingness to compete were among the strengths of the team, Marquez said.
“We’ve developed so far and have gotten so far since the beginning,” she said. “We can work on what we have now and will definitely have some-thing to show them (next season).”

warts that await it in the 5A — and, inevitably, 6A — playoffs, it’s difficult imagining the Jaguars going on a deep run. Big class football is too deep and talented in Kansas to play nearly half of a season against 4A teams. While playing in the KVL is a great test in basketball, football is a different ani-mal when it comes to the differences roster sizes can make. And while it can be argued that Miege was similar in size to some of the KVL’s smaller teams, Miege’s schedule that pitted it against five 2012 5A and 6A playoff teams made the then-4-5 Stags’ victory against the 8-1 Jaguars less surprising than their records suggest.
These are frustrations Mill Valley shares. The school has openly pursued exit from the KVL in recent years, and will likely find its way to the East Kan-sas League — or, albeit less likely, the Sunflower League — before long.
That said, given what this team could control this year, the season still ranks among the absolute best in school his-tory. Coach Joel Applebee developed a roster filled to the brim with athletes who deserve to be playing on Satur-days once their high school careers are through. You’ll no doubt be reading in future issues of The Dispatch the sign-ing ceremonies for Skyler Windmiller, Coleman McCann, Kendall Short, Tim Thomas, Staton Rebeck, L.J. Hatch and
so many others.•••
Just a few miles east of downtown Shawnee, on the grounds of Shawnee Mission North High, is one of the met-ro area’s finest football stadiums. The Shawnee Mission North District Sta-dium saw some of this season’s finest Sunflower League showdowns. But, alas, for another season, SM North and SM Northwest were not part of them.
The team that should own the big-gest home field advantage (and this writer’s alma mater), SM North, expe-rienced its first winless season since 1985. The once proud program has not won more than three games since Sam Brown left after the 2004 season. The task of rebuilding will be a tall one for the latest new hire, who will replace the recently resigned Dennis Grayless. But the slightest steps in the right direction will be rewarded by a passionate fanbase hungry for a return to prominence inside a home stadium befitting a program rich in history.
Over at SM Northwest, coach Linn Hibbs brought a stellar resume after a long tenure at 4A powerhouse Wel-lington. Though the Cougars finished 2-7 in his first year, there’s little reason to suspect this program won’t begin its climb back to competing for playoff spots and beyond.

in volleyball, soccer, basketball, foot-ball, baseball and softball. Imagine what a Shawnee Showdown in boys soccer would have looked like this season. Isaiah Gum booted the game-winning goal in the fourth overtime to advance the Jaguars to their regional final last month before Mill Valley capped a 10-6-1 season.
Meanwhile, the Cougars rebound-ed from an 0-4-1 start to finish 9-8-2, falling in the final minute of overtime against one of the state’s top teams in Blue Valley Northwest. Up to that point, junior goalkeeper Steven Skells and the SM Northwest defense held postseason opponents scoreless for 259 minutes. We may need to plan for a few extra periods, but a Mill Valley-SM Northwest showdown would be worth planning an evening around.
•••The rich got richer in cross-country
this season. SM Northwest coach Van Rose added another state title to his resume as the boys team took home its 21st state championship last month at Rim Rock in Lawrence. Seniors Clay-ton Henderson (fifth) and Kirk Bado (seventh) had about as good a swan song high school runners could have in leading the charge. On the girls side, seniors McKenzie Iverson (12th) and Katie Nelson (16th) also capped strong Cougar careers.
Keeping it on the cross-country side, it says something about a team’s ceiling when a sophomore-laden squad’s third-place finish at state can be called disappointing in any context. Although Maranatha Christian Acad-emy’s girls team was edged out of Xth place by the slightest of margins, a team led by sophomores Lauren Har-rell, Hope Manning and Taylor Mor-row should continue to be a force on area trails in the next two seasons.
SM North’s team continues to be one of the school’s consistently most successful programs under coach
Ryan Colburn. This year, senior Micki Krzesinski led the Indians with a 19th-place finish at the state meet and the boys team placed seventh overall, led by senior Jason Foster (14th) and ju-nior Ben Burchstead (21st).
And who could forget the finish by Mill Valley’s young runners? Fresh-men Amber Akin and Ellie Wilson — best friends, they say, since 4 — fin-ished sixth and eighth, respectively, in the their first state meet. They’ve es-tablished a high ceiling for their next three years. Meanwhile, the Jaguars graduated just two boys runners and will return a deep group of young ath-letes led by freshman Derek Meeks, who gave the team its best state finish in 34th place.
•••Shawnee residents competing at St.
James Academy were more than ready for the jump to Class 5A competition. Emily Tripp, Jenna Gray and Arianna Person — led by coach Nancy Dorsey, also from Shawnee — helped lead the Thunder to its fifth-straight state title and first at the 5A level this year.
Senior Alexa Van Lerberg capped her career with a 36th-place finish at the state meet. And senior Jan-sen Keyes helped lead the Thunder to its best football season yet at 7-2. Although St. James finished excru-ciatingly short of the playoffs, it was clear to see that the football program was headed toward the same success enjoyed by the rest of the athletic de-partment.
•••It was a happy ending for the career
of Mill Valley senior Sarah Wetzel, who advanced to state for the first time as a Jaguar. Meanwhile, SM Northwest coach Ken Clow got a pleasant sur-prise at the regional tournament last month when not one, but two, of his doubles teams qualified for the state tournament. Colleen Freeman and Claire Gordon, and Lauren Benjamin and Amanda Rebori surprised Clow in placing fifth and sixth, respectively, at the regional meet last month in Prairie Village. Though the teams fell short of state medals all involved should have warm memories of the season.

able member of the KU rowing team. There is no one more team-oriented that her.”
A person who is 5-feet tall has a perfect position on a rowing team as a coxswain, Slattery’s position on the Jayhawks’ novice rowing team.
What is the coxswain?“The coxswain is the person who sits in the back of the boat, facing all the rowers,” Slattery said. “I am in charge of steering the boat, motivating the team and I am basically the connection be-tween the coach and the team when we’re on the water.
“I wear a headset with a microphone and call out the commands, conveying whatever the coaches’ strategies for the race are to the team.”
KU assistant rowing coach Jennifer Meyers, who is in charge of the novice team, said Slattery is progressing nice-ly in her first season of college rowing.
“To develop as a coxswain takes the ability to multitask, learn quickly and empower rowers to do things that their minds tell them they can’t,” Mey-
ers said. “She is the type of individual that we look for when recruiting: indi-viduals that cannot only contribute to our team but the athletic department as a whole.”
And Slattery is enjoying her time at KU.
“I wanted to go to KU my whole life,” she said. “I’ve always been a Jay-hawk at heart. Once I saw my first bas-ketball game in Allen Fieldhouse I was hooked.
“There is so much school spirit and I love the tradition and the feel of the campus and the community. When I visited KU it just felt like the place I would want to call home.”
She is undecided on her major but is in the University Honors program.
Slattery is not the only Shawnee res-ident involved in rowing at the NCAA level. She is joined at KU by Emma Umbarger (Mill Valley), Carly Iver-son (SM Northwest) and Clarissa Holt Bates (SM Northwest).
There are five women on the row-ing teams at Kansas State, led by se-nior three-year letterwinner Adria Ley. She played three years of volley-ball at SM Northwest. She was the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll in both semesters last year.
The other four are sophomore Eliz-abeth DeMars (St. Thomas Aquinas), junior Abigail Harbour (Kansas City Christian), sophomore Chelsea Holt-Bates (SM Northwest) and freshman Ashley Houser (SM Northwest).
