This year, however, will be his last. At the end of this school year, Reel will be leaving the classroom to pursue his business aspirations. “The thing I’ll miss the most is coming to work knowing that most days were going to be positive, and that’s both from the student body standpoint and the staff standpoint. I knew that I was coming to work with really great students and really great colleagues as well,” Reel said. Reel shared what he will miss most about the atmosphere of teaching industrial arts. “Every day was a different challenge. While being a teacher in industrial arts was fun, and my passion as a teacher; being able to interact with kids on a day-to-day basis is what I’m going to miss the most. That’s the reason I came - not to be a woodshop teacher, but to be able to interact with the kids,” he explained. As Reel changes his path, he said he is looking toward the future with an open mind. “The most exciting part is also the most scary part. The un- known, the potential for success, and the potential for failure is all very scary, but yet exciting at the same time. It’s time for me to explore that different avenue that I have and make the best of it,” he commented. Throughout the past six years, Reel said he has made many memories with students and faculty. “As cliché as this may sound, the biggest accomplishment aside from the kids doing wonderful projects and developing awesome skills that they can use in the rest of their lives, but the biggest accomplishment as a whole is that I did not have a single kid, knock on wood, get hurt in the woodshop. As scary as a lot of kids think woodshop is going to be, I didn’t have any- body going to get stitches! “As for my proudest teaching moment, some of my ex students would come back and talk to me and say that some of the things they learned in high school woodshop class were being taught in their college classes. I thought that was kind of neat. It validates that I’m not just some person in the front of the classroom yacking at kids, I’m actually teaching them valuable knowledge,” Reel shared. Junior High Social Studies Teacher Kelby Brown will be tak- ing over Reel’s position. Brown has been teaching social studies at Silver Lake since 2012. “I think (Brown’s) in a really awesome position to be very successful. He has a tremendous amount of skills when it comes to woodworking. A lot of students don’t know that about him. If you’ve ever been to his house or have seen some of the projects he’s done, you’d know that he has a tremendous amount of skills. I’m very excited for him, for the kids, and the energy he’s going to bring to the department,” Reel said. Brown said he has mixed feelings about leaving the junior high faculty and students. “I love working with the junior high kids. They bring a lot of fun and excitement every day. They really do work hard on a day-to-day basis. Also, the camaraderie with the teachers - we really work well together as a team. We’ve become great friends over the past couple of years. I really will miss working with them. I really love the teachers that are down here; I’m definitely going to miss them,” he said. Brown has been a social studies teacher for five years but has been exposed to the woodshop before. Rod Brown has been teaching industrial arts for 33 years at Rossville High School and is K. Brown’s father. K. Brown shared what sparked his interest in taking the job. “My father is a woodshop teacher, so from day one I basi- cally spent my whole life in the woodshop. After school each day I’d go there and watch my dad work, and as I got older, he’d let me work alongside with him. I fell in love with it in high school and took about as many industrial arts classes that I could! During college, I worked construction for six years, so I got to see another aspect of that field, and I learned that I had a bunch of great skills that I could put to use. “Also, it’s one of my favorite hobbies. In my spare time, I love building furniture and working on different projects in my own home. I feel that I have certain skills in this department that I can teach some of the high school and junior high students and also give them some skills that could possibly get them jobs in the future such as carpenters or architects,” he said. K. Brown has some ideas in mind he’d like to incorporate into the industrial arts program. “The biggest thing is teaching kids how to use the skills that we teach them out there in a real world, applicable way, whether that being remodeling their home or just other projects that they may want in their own individual homes. I think I have a lot to offer that maybe there wasn’t time to do before, but with the new schedule, I think that we could implement some of those ideas,” he said. K. Brown shared his thoughts on Reel resigning. “Well, I can’t take his place. We could never replace a qual- ity teacher like Mr. Reel. He brought a ton of new ideas, new pieces of technology that he taught the kids. I don’t think I could replace him; I just hope to bring more of the passion and excitement that he brought, along with being able to teach some of the knowledge and the skills that it takes to be good in that profession,” he said.

Industrial arts teacher resigning; Brown transfers to positionREEL

Industrial Arts Teacher Ian Reel has been teaching at the high school for six years. This year, however, will be his last. At the end of this school year, Reel will be leaving the classroom to pursue his business aspirations. “The thing I’ll miss the most is coming to

Athletes prepare for competition through pre-game rituals

Superstitions in sports have a long and complicated history. They have ranged anywhere from Michael Jor-dan wearing his North Caro-lina shorts under his Chicago Bulls shorts to Hall of Famer Wade Boggs eating chicken before every single game. However, many ponder what superstitions and rituals local athletes and coaches have. Sami Fischer, senior, is a first-baseman for the softball team. She shared a recurring pre-game ritual for the team. “Before every softball game our team stands in a circle and spits and then cov-ers it up. I don’t know how it started, but that’s what we do,” Fischer said. On a more personal level, Fischer says “The Glory Be” prayer before she steps into the batter’s box and wears the initials of her guardian angel on the back of her helmet. “Two years ago, my moth-er’s best friend from high school died the day before the regional championship against Rossville. Vicky’s daughter

was a senior from Rossville, so our team put her initials on our helmets. “The next year, the day be-fore junior year started, I got in a car accident and I came out basically unscratched. A couple weeks later, my mom said she had a dream about her and Vicky and that they would always take care of each other’s kids. My mom thought nothing of it until my accident. That spring, I re-ceived a helmet with Vicky’s initials still on it. I took that as a sign that she was still with me, and I needed to leave it on there,” Fischer shared. Baseball is one of the most well-known sports to practice superstitions. Along with Boggs eating chicken before every single game, other famous superstitions have included Richie Ashburn sleep-ing with his bats and Turk Wendell brushing his teeth in the dugout and eating lico-rice while he pitched. Senior Joey Clark, catcher for the baseball team, prac-tices more common supersti-tions. “One of my biggest su-perstitions in baseball is you never step on the lines before a game and you never talk about hitting a cycle or throw-ing a no-hitter. The reason I follow these is because you don’t want to jinx yourself

and have a bad game,” he said. Jennah Ridder, senior thrower for the track team, opts for a more musical routine. “I always listen to a certain playlist before the meet and warm up in a routine. I get super jittery and nervous if I don’t. I think it helps my confidence if I feel super in control before I throw,” she said. Ridder also recalled an-other senior who had a unique ritual for track. “When Cassie (Dewey) used to go out for track last year, there was a goofy skip she used to do for ‘good luck.’ It relieved a lot of nerves and

just gave everyone a good laugh before we started competition,” Ridder shared. From a coaching perspective, Boys’ Golf Coach Johnny Roberts is more methodical with his superstitions.

“When it comes to golf, my clubs have to be in a cer-tain place in my bag. If they are not, and I hit a bad shot, I blame it on that. Also, I have to have my divot replacer, tees and coin in my right pocket when I play. If I don’t, I feel like I’m going to have a bad round,” Roberts said.

Parker Monhollon’s sister shares her story

By Abby BrockmannEditor-In-Chief

Rivers Schwenn is not your typical high school freshman. Not only is she an exceptional dancer who competes at a high level, she is also the sister of Parker Monhollon. Monhollon, Silver Lake fourth-grader, was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma when she was 8 years old. DIPG is an extremely aggressive brain tumor that has a devastating survival rate. According to the Mi-chael Mosier Defeat DIPG Foundation, while there has

been extraordinary progres-sion in treating most types of pediatric cancers, the medical advances have done nothing for treating DIPG. Schwenn briefly shared Monhollon’s story. “When Parker was 8 years old, we started to notice that she had developed a lazy eye. We took her to the eye doctor, and he suggested an MRI. On Jan. 15, 2016, they found a cancerous tumor on her brainstem. “The next day, it was identified as DIPG, a type of cancer no child has ever survived through. They gave her one year to live. My fam-ily has traveled the world in search of a cure, and she is still fighting today,” Schwenn shared. When it comes to travel-ing, Monhollon has become a pro. Schwenn shared where her sister’s treatment plans have taken her around the world.

“First, she traveled to St. Jude’s in Memphis to receive standard radiation. Next, they took several trips to Germany for immunotherapy. Then, she had a cyst draining surgery

in San Francisco. Now, she is currently in Monterrey, Mexico receiving intra-arte-rial infusions and an implant inside of her brain,” she explained. Schwenn shared the most difficult obstacle for her to get over during Monhollon’s

journey. “Living by myself for sev-eral months at a time without my family is kind of tough. But the most difficult part has definitely been watch-

ing Parker’s physical appearance change so drastically. She has to take a very high dose of steroids to control the swelling in her brain. A side effect of steroids is extreme

weight gain. She also lost all of her hair from radiation. She doesn’t even look like the same person anymore. Sometimes it’s hard to look past that and see the person underneath,” she shared. Along with Schwenn wit-nessing an immense change

in Monhollon’s appearance, she also had to transition to a significantly smaller amount of time spent with her sister. “Parker and I used to be extremely close before she was diagnosed. We spent every second together, and she never left my side. We rode together to and from our dance studio in Kansas City every day, which is three hours that we had to put up with each other! She was my partner in crime, and I feel like we’ve been drifting apart ever since she started travel-ing for treatments. I haven’t seen or talked to her in many months,” Schwenn said. Schwenn has been dancing since she was 3 years old. She currently trains at Ignition Dance Academy in Lawrence about 20 hours a week, while also attending competitions and conventions. She shared how dance has helped her through her sister’s battle with cancer.

“Since I’m so busy danc-ing, I don’t have time to even think about the horrible real-ity of my sister’s cancer. I try to focus on training harder, improving, and achieving success instead. All the stress in my life just goes away when I’m dancing,” Schwenn said. She has also stayed in-volved in school activities by joining the dance team. “Doing what I love with people who share the same passion as me is something very special to be a part of. Plus, it’s almost impossible to be sad at a school sporting event when you’re supposed to be smiling!” she shared. Throughout Monhollon’s journey, Schwenn has stayed well-rounded by balancing school work and dance. “Despite everything that’s going on, I still do very well in school and dance. I’ve managed to maintain a 4.0 GPA and win first place over-

all at three dance competitions in a row, two of the times being with a solo I dedicated to Parker,” she shared. She has also had the op-portunity to speak out on her sister’s behalf. “In October, I was invited to perform and say a speech I wrote about Parker, her jour-ney, and childhood cancer as a whole at CureFest in Washing-ton, D.C. That was a very positive opportunity and a trip I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” Schwenn said. Monhollon’s battle has captured the attention of a large audience. The fam-ily’s Facebook page, “Parker Loves Life,” has over 46,600 likes. Schwenn shared how the increasing public eye has made this time more difficult for her.

“Personally, I feel like Parker’s journey with cancer being publicized has more negatives than positives. Those who follow her journey on Facebook are getting a brutally honest look into the private life of a family with a child battling DIPG, which is

unique because no one gets to see that harsh reality unless they actually live it. Seeing

the process of a terminally ill child dying is eye-opening, no doubt. But people watch our lives through their phone screens like a TV show, and sometimes I feel as though my privacy is invaded,” she shared. However, Schwenn said there are still a few positives. “People from around the world have expressed an overwhelming amount of love and support for Parker. My

mom gets messages every day from people who are inspired by Parker. We even get recognized and confronted in public! Knowing that so many people are standing behind us and that we are not entirely alone is an amazing feeling,” she said. Monohollon’s Facebook supporters aren’t the only ones inspired by her fight. Schwenn said she is inspired by her sister’s fearless spirit as well. “Even before she got sick, Parker has always been fearless. She is never afraid to speak her opin-ion. She has taught me that it is important to have a voice and a purpose in this life, and to not let people walk all over you. She is a fighter, that’s for sure,” Schwenn said. She shared how she has changed as a person through Monhollon’s battle. “I’ve learned to never take anything for granted and to be grateful for every single moment. I feel like I’ve

matured very quickly having to live without my family for so long. Something like this really changes your whole perspective on life. “Things that used to seem like a big deal now seem miniscule and unimportant. Whenever I’m angry about something, I remind myself how extremely lucky I am just to be able to do simple things like walk, or talk clearly, or look forward to tomorrow.

You don’t know how quickly this can be taken away from you,” Schwenn shared. When it comes to the future, Schwenn

is overflowing with hope. “I hope that Parker will live to move on to the fifth grade, graduate from high school, get married, start a career, and live a full and happy life. I can’t imagine my life without my little sister by my side. “I hope a cure for DIPG is found so that no child ever has to experience it ever again,” she said.

To donate to Parker’s cause, go to www.ParkerLovesLife.com or visit “Parker Loves Life”

on Facebook for more information.

According to the Michael Mosier Defeat DIPG Foundation, “...the prognosis for a child diagnosed with DIPG today is no better than it was 40 years ago.”

Baseball season is off to a slow start, as four games have been rescheduled due to inclement weather. The varsity team played their first game on April 8 against Holton and swept them 14-2 and 5-1. Senior Kyle Frick, pitcher, came back to the team this season after he injured his knee his sophomore year and was out last season. Frick went through two surgeries to fix his knee. Frick described exactly how he injured his knee and the procedures he endured. “Sophomore year during basketball season at Council Grove, I got hit on the side of my knee that caused me to

bend back over on my knee. “The first surgery, they took out the piece of cartilage that I chipped off during the injury, out from under my kneecap. It was causing dis-comfort, and my knee would buckle because of it. The second surgery was to replace that cartilage,” he said. Frick explained how he felt when he found out he wouldn’t be able to play his junior year. “I was pretty upset I wouldn’t be able to play because baseball is my favorite sport,” Frick said. Head Coach Alan Cunningham has coached for 27 seasons at Silver Lake. He explained what he looks forward to with Frick being back this season. “I’m eager to see Kyle out on the mound. I know he’s endured a lot of injuries and surgeries since he’s started playing competitive sports

and now, as a senior, I’m ea-ger to see him get a chance to pitch. At 6’5” and left-handed, he can be an imposing figure on the mound,” Cunningham said. Senior Tyler Koelzer, outfielder, described Frick’s importance to the team. “I am excited to play with Kyle again. We’ve played baseball together for years

now, and it was different not having him out there last year. Kyle adds depth to the pitch-ing roster along with a dirty curveball,” Koelzer said. Cunningham described Frick’s strengths and weak-nesses as a player. “I’d say that Kyle’s strength is that he loves base-

ball. He’s a big kid that can throw strikes, and his curve-ball is coming along nicely. It’s no secret that Kyle’s leg problems have limited his agility and quickness, so I guess that might be consid-ered one of his shortcomings,” Cunningham said. Frick expressed what he believes he brings to the team. “I’m excited to be able to play again because I am excited to see how far we go this year. I think I bring a lot of positive energy to the team. This helps when the game isn’t going our way, and you have to stay upbeat and positive,” Frick said. Koelzer described what he is most looking forward to this season. “I am looking forward to getting a lot of the returning starters back this season be-cause it gives the team more experience,” he said. Cunningham commented on the team’s strengths. “I feel like the depth of our pitching staff will be a

strength. We have confidence in many of our pitchers based on their skill level and past performance. Some years, you can only say that about two or three. This year, we can say that about seven or eight, and that’s rare for a high school team,” he said. He said redemption is on their minds. “Our season ended, we be-

lieve, prema-turely when we lost to Royal Valley 0-1 in the regional championship game. Ever since we walked off the field, I believe

our players have looked forward to getting back at it, to get that bitter taste out of their mouth. Though we lost two very productive players in Taylor Martin and Kyler Womack, we feel like we have a very talented core of players that can have a special season,” Cunningham said. Frick described on the seniors. “I feel this group of seniors will be able to bring a lot of experience to the team be-

cause we’ve all suited up var-sity since our freshman year, and since we’ve experienced the state tournament before we know that we want to get back there,” Frick said. Koelzer shared what it means to be a senior. “I have experience and knowledge that I am willing to share with the younger guys to help them become better players,” Koelzer said.
