Labour and Wait: Simple, Honest Design
Store Profile
- Location: Shoreditch, London
- Specialty: Well-Designed, Timeless Products for the Home
- Price range: ($) Budget
- Website: labourandwait.co.uk
Store History
- Founded: 2000
- Founded by: Rachel Wythe-Moran and Simon Watkins
- Headquarters: Shoreditch, London
Located in East London, Labour and Wait offers an evolving range of timeless, functional products for everyday life. Function, quality and good design are found in every product carefully curated in the shop.
The concept behind Labour and Wait is a curated collection of timeless products for the kitchen, home, and garden. Labour and Wait's belief is that good design goes hand in hand with quality and functionality.
Owners Rachel Wythe-Moran and Simon Watkins are both designers with fashion backgrounds who became frustrated with quick product turnovers and re-designs in the retail world. Out of their frustration came the concept for Labour and Wait to sell a collection of everyday classics that will not date but will mellow and only improve with age.
Timeless, high-quality, functional, and well-designed products line the walls of the shop located in an old Truman Brewery pub in Shoreditch. The products featured in the shop include cleaning supplies, kitchenware, stationary, and bathroom supplies. The products may appear retro but they are not retro to be trendy, rather they are retro in the sense that many products made today are made cheaply and are not meant to last. Labour and Wait is confident that their products are made to last and will become instant favorites.

After many years of trying all kinds of homemade ranch dressing recipes- both dry mixes and the complete dressing – I finally came up with a recipe our whole family likes. There was always something that just wasn't "right" about the other recipes I tried.
There was too much dill.
Or not enough garlic.
Too salty.
Or too bland.
Then I'd find a coupon for Newman's Own Ranch Dressing and I'd forget about the homemade for awhile. But even on sale and with a coupon, Newman's Own is not cheap. And I knew that ranch dressing is just sour cream (or mayo), buttermilk and some spices. Hardly expensive stuff. So I went back to my recipes and combined and adapted to come up with something that's simple, tasty, frugal (a batch costs about $1.35), and REAL.
AND passed the taste test with our ranch-aholic: my son. Whew.
I just use a pint jar to mix everything for this dressing- it has a wide-enough opening and I can shake it up right in the jar. However, if you'd like to keep it in a smaller-mouth dressing container, feel free to use a whisk and mix it up in a quart measuring cup before pouring into your container.
Start by mixing sour cream, buttermilk, and lemon juice. Don't be tempted to skip the lemon juice- I really think it makes it so much fresher tasting.
A note on buttermilk: few years ago I realized that, for the most part, what they sell in the stores as "buttermilk" is not true buttermilk (the milk extracted during the process of making butter), but a milk with thickeners and often preservatives added to it. Since this is what I'd like to avoid (hello?) and I don't have access to real buttermilk, I always make a "faux buttermilk" with vinegar and regular milk (for this recipe, a 1/2 c. milk mixed with 1-1/2 tsp. vinegar).
Oh, and another note about the sour cream: check the label!
If you don't make your own (it's on my to-do list one day…), you'll want to find a sour cream that contains only cream like the one listed above (which is Daisy Brand, by the way). Compare this with the ingredients on most of the other store brands which list at least 10 ingredients including fillers, preservatives, and thickeners.
Some ranch recipes call for mayonnaise instead of sour cream. We like sour cream for a couple of reasons: it creates a thicker dressing that works for a dip and with just a little thinning with milk can coat lettuce, and we like the flavor better. Plus, since I make my own mayonnaise, we pretty much save it for sandwiches and stuff!
Once the wet ingredients are mixed, add the garlic and dry spices, and mix well.
Um, yeah, that's pretty much it. Seems silly that I'd ever take the time to buy this stuff- that was like, what- 5 minutes? Well, I've mended my ways…
- 1 c. sour cream
- ½ c. buttermilk (add 1-1/2 tsp. vinegar to milk to equal ½ c. if you can't find real buttermilk)
- 1 TB. lemon juice
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1 TB. dried parsley, or 3 TB. chopped fresh
- ½ tsp. onion powder
- ¾ tsp. sea salt (or to taste)
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ⅛-1/4 tsp. dried dill (to taste) or 1 tsp. fresh
- Combine sour cream, buttermilk, and lemon juice in a pint jar or quart mixing bowl. Shake or whisk to mix well.
- Add the remaining ingredients and shake (or whisk) again until well combined. If using a bowl, transfer to a dressing container with lid.
- *NOTE: If you like your dressing thicker, mix the sour cream and seasonings first, then add the buttermilk slowly until you reach the desired consistency.*
- Refrigerate one or more hours before using, and taste to adjust seasonings after dressing.
- For a thicker dip: increase sour cream by ¼ cup (or, conversely, add more milk, a little at a time if a thinner consistency is desired).
- Shake well before each use.

ID this plant
Hi everyone. I got this indoor from a nursery but the plant did not come with any ID nor care instruction. It did fine for the first few months. Now the leaves are falling. I am losing about 5 to 10 leaves a day. Can anyone ID this plant so I can see what I am doing wrong. Thank you

Duncan McDonell, a son of Alexander John and Ellen (McPherson) McDonell, was born about 1842 in Lower Canada which refers to Quebec. He married Elizabeth Sauve on the 27th of February 1865 at the St. Alphonsus Church. Elizabeth was born about 1846/47 per census information. (#M6, FHL#1029798)
Her parents were probably Clement Sauve and Marie Blandon but this is not for certain because the marriage record of Duncan and Elizabeth housed at the St. Alphonsus church does not list the couples' parents like the majority of the records of that church.
Duncan McDonell died the 6th of May 1910 and was buried in the St. Alphonsus Cemetery on 8 May 1910 (Cemetery Inscriptions and Burial Records #1311). Elizabeth died about 1924.
There are descendants who are living and the compiler has had the honor of visiting with them and getting to know them. They are my father Keith's cousins. A family tree was supplied by one of the living cousin's so some of the following information came from her and I do not know where she obtained her information. The compiler of this post and blog has done some research on the Duncan McDonell family but not in-depth, so it is strongly advised that you use the information descendant chart as a guide only.
According to my cousin, Duncan and Elizabeth (Bettsie) McDonell had 15 children?
(1) Mary Elizabeth McDonell born 29 July 1865, baptized the 30th of July 1865. (#B66, FHL#1029798). Mary Elizabeth did not marry. She does appear in the 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 census (See census below).
(2) John McDonell born 25 July 1866, baptized the 29th of July 1866. (#B82, FHL#1029798). John appears in the 1871 census as 4 years old. A John M. is found in the 1881 census also 4 years old? This means the 2nd John may have been born in 1877?
(3) Rose Ann Ellen McDonell born 12 May 1868, baptized 9 June 1868. (#B51, FHL#1029798). She may have married a Thomas William Leahey and had at least one child: Willietta Leahy. She appears in the 1871, 1881 and 1891 census.
(4) Alexander Clement McDonell born 1870 and died 28 March 1892 and was buried 30 March 1892. He may have had a nickname of "Clemo." (#1332. pg. 90, #1332 Cemetery Inscriptions and Burial Registrations)
(5) Robert Roland McDonell born the 14th of January, 1872, baptized on the 26th of March 1872 (#B34, FHL#1029798) and died the 30th of January 1965 in California. He married a Celina Catherine Gray on 4 April 1910 (#M3, pg. 67 FHL#2030662) and they migrated to Minnesota. Robert and Catherine will be further discussed in a future post. Catherine's parents were Alexander Francis Gray and Catherine Alponsine Maloney. There is some confusion about Ronald's name. He may have been called "Donald." He appears in the 1881 and 1891 census.
(6) Euralia McDonell born in December of 1873, baptized 22 December 1873. (#B73, FHL#1029798). She appears in the 1881 and 1891 census but her name is spelled very oddly.
(7) Anonymous McDonell died 15 Sep 1875, buried 16 Sep, 1875 (#1307, pg. 89 Cemetery Inscriptions and Burial Records).
(8) Theresa Jane McDonell born 1 January 1876, baptized 16 January 1876. (#B6, FHL#1304675). It is said she never married. She appears in the 1881 and 1891 census.
(9) Ambrose McDonell born about 1877 in Quebec. Might have married Gray Annie McCarthy and had children. He does not appear in the 1881 census but he does in the 1891?
(10) James McDonell born 3 August 1879 (#B51, FHL#1304675). James appears in the 1881 and 1891 census.
(11) Aimee McDonell born after 1879 and may have married a man by the name of Cecil. This child does not appear in any census with the family or does any record of marriage or death appear?
(12) George Eugene McDonell born 8 May 1881, baptized 26 May 1881 (#B44, FHL#1304675) and died 1 December 1909 and was buried on 3 December 1909. (#1314, Pg. 89 Cemetery Inscriptions and Burial Records.) George appears in the 1891 and 1901 census with the family.
(13) Marcella McDonell born 26 April 1883. (#B13, FHL#1304675). Marcella appears in the 1891 and 1901 census.
(14) Susan Mary Harriett McDonell born 16 August 1887, baptized 20 September 1887 (#B67, FHL#1304675). She was buried 23 March 1914. (#1319, pg. 89, Cemetery Inscriptions and Burial Records ). Elizabeth, her mother, was 40 years old at this child's birth?
(15) Steven/Stephen McDonell born about 1890 and died 18 May 1955. (#A430, pg. 19 Cemetery Inscriptions and Burial Records) He married a Mary Lepine on the 25th of April 1917. She was the daughter of Oliver Lepine and Helene Ranger. (#M7, pg. 52, FHL#2030662). Also listed in the book: Marriages Du Comte De Pontiac 1836-1973. Elizabeth, his mother, would have been 43 years old by the time Steven was born, so this might be stretching things; however, the census for 1891 has a Steven listed with the family.
Stephen and Mary (Lepine) McDonald had 11 children. Some of these children may still be living so I have edited the information and since I cannot compare to the census realize this is very rough:
(1) Mary E. M. McDonald born 17 September 1918 and died about 1920. (#B53 FHL#2030662, pg. 47).
(2) Mary S.C. McDonald baptized 16 February 1920. Mary may have married a Winkle.
(3) Jean McDonald born May 1922 and died in the summer of 1998. She may have married a Peaver.
(4) Twin – Cecil McDonald b. unknown, died March 1945.
(5) Twin – Lorina McDonald b. unknown, died March 1945.
(6) Irene McDonald b. unknown, died 1923. May have married a Heatherington
(7) Wilbert McDonald born 1925, died 1989. He may have married a Fleury.
(8) Kempton G. McDonald born 1928. Married a Todd and have five children.
(9) Helen birth unknown, may have married a Chase/Caisgrain.
(10) Renia born 1931 may have married a Calhoun.
(11) Shirley born 14 March 1934 and may have married a Balinger and had one daughter.
UPDATE 6/20/2013 – I did not include Joseph McDonald who appears in the 1901 Census about 3 years old.
(16) Joseph M. McDonell born 3 April 1898 (suspect date) , Quebec, he married Clara Alphonse Laplante daughter of John and Alphonsine Lecuyer, on 9 Aug. 1924 at the Immaculate Conception, Massey, Sudbury, Ontario (provided by cousins June 2013).
Duncan appears in the 1861 census with his family and sister Mary, Keith's grandmother. That census has been featured in the post dated: November 11, 2010 "Mary McDonell, Archie's Future Bride – 1861!
Please consult the census pages for more details on the family for the following is just a short summary.
The 1871 Canadian Census has Duncan and Elizabeth building a family:
Duncan McDonell is 28 years old, Scotch background, a laborer, and married. Dwelling location 76, house #15/16. Next is Elizabeth, 26 years old, French, married. Mary Elizabeth 5 yrs., John 4 yrs., Rose Ellen, 2 yrs., Alexander 1 yr. All Scottish. All born in Quebec and all Catholic. Source: 1871 Canadian Census, Chichester Twp., district 91, So. Pontiac, Film #0493443, pg. 22″
The 1881 Canadian Census reveals more of the Duncan and Elizabeth McDonell family:
Line 9, 98, 101, McDonell, Duncan, M. age 39, Catholic, Scottish, laborer, Elizabeth, F, age 25, Catholic, French. Mary, F, age 15. Rose Ellen, F, age 12. Alexander, M, age 11. Ronald, M, age 9. [Nanania], F, age 7. Teresa, F, age 5, John, M, age 4. James, M, age 2. All Catholic, and all born in Quebec. Source: 1881 Canadian Census, Pontiac Co., District 98, pg. 27, Ancestry.com.
The 1891 Canadian Census gives the following information:
McDonald, Duncan, M, 49 yrs, Married, Quebec?, parents born in Ont. both, farm, labourer. Elizabeth, F, 46 years, Married, wife, born in Ont, French Canadian, parents both born in Ont.. Elizabeth, 26, daughter, born in Quebec, parents born in Quebec. Rosa, 23 yrs old, daughter, born in Quebec, parents born in Quebec. Clement, male, 21 yrs old, son born in Quebec, laborer.

Ambrose, male, 14 yrs old, son born in Quebec. James, male, 12 yrs. old, son, born in Quebec. George, male, 10 yrs. old, son, born in Quebec. 2nd pg. McDonald, Marcia, Female, 8 yrs. old, daughter born in Quebec. R.C. (Roman Catholic). Susan, female, 3 yrs old., daughter born in Quebec. Steven, male, one yr. old, son born in Quebec. Source: 1891 Canadian Census, Chichester, Pontiac Co., Quebec, Canadian Film #T6413 pg. 1-30.
The 1901 Canadian Census gives more detail but is very hard to read, here is a summary.
Line 4, 05, [92], McDonald, Duncan, M, Head, [10 Mois 1862] age 58, married, laborer, Elizabeth F, wife, M, 14 Sept. 1845, age 55. Elizabeth F, daughter, S, 27 July 1866 age 34. Ambrose, M, son, S, 28 Jany 1876, age 24, laborer. James, M, son, S, 4 May 1878, age 22. George, M, son, S, 8 April 1880, age 20, Marcellan F, daughter, S, 24 April 1882, age 18. Susan, F, daughter, S, 15 Aug 1886, age 14. Stephen, M, son, S, 29 Jan 1889, age 11. Joseph M, son, S, 3 April 1898. All born in Quebec, all Scottish. Source: 1901 Canadian Census, Quebec, Pontiac Co., Chichester Twp. pg. 12, District 2, S. District 180? Reading Duncan's birth information was very difficult. I do not think he was born in 1862 more like 1842 since he appears in the 1861 census.
By 1911 Duncan has died and Elizabeth is alone with one of her son's and a grandson and they are listed as Irish?
Line 23, 62, 64, McDonald, Elizabeth, Chichester, F, Head, W, Sept, 1846, age 65, Irish, no occupation, Stephen, M, Son, Jan 1890, age 21, laborer. Joseph, M, grandson, April 1899, age 12, no occupation. Source: 1911 Canadian Census, Quebec, Pontiac Co., Chichester Twp., pg. 8, 185 Pontiac, S. Dist. No. 6, ED #1. I do not know who Joseph's parents are!
Based on the information presented it becomes apparent that Duncan and Elizabeth may have a lot of children but there really wasn't that many descendants. Eight of the children did not have children. There are three of the children that are questionable and more research is needed, so that leaves 4 children that had descendants: Robert, Rose, Ambrose and Steven. Now the estate file for Duncan has not been consulted and that might reveal more of the family relationships. Land records have also not been consulted at this time.
Update 6/20/2013: I am not happy with the list of Duncan's children. Elizabeth is too old to have some of them. So I need to revisit this and confirm my findings
Note: Please note that the name Sauve may have an accent over the last letter: Sauve´. There are other possible spellings of the name like "Sauvier" and/or "Thauvier."

All of living is a process of coming of age, of reconciling
the essence of the inner self with one's outer being,with the world, and with
changing expectations for that self in the world.
– Kay E. Vandergrift
The teen and young adult years, when young people are perched precariously on the brink between childhood and
adult responsibilities, are, of course, when the coming of age process is most obvious.
and the mature imagination of a man is healthy;
but there is a space of life between,
in which the soul is in a ferment,
the character undecided, the way of life uncertain,
the ambition thick-sighted.
– John Keats
An intolerable waiting,
A longing for another place and time,
Another condition
You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.
– Abraham Lincoln
The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect,
he becomes an adolescent;
the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult;
the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise.

We don't stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
– George Bernard Shaw
You grow up the day you have your first real laugh — at yourself.
– Ethel Barrymore
Young dancers are training at a very vulnerable time in their lives, through adolescence, and
while they are trying to work out who they are as people, never mind as a dancer.
So train the whole person, not just the dancer.
– Deborah Bull
Young man,
Young woman,
Life turns for you.
This is a magic time,
a mythic passage,
In your becoming
We who welcome you,
None of us is too old
So as to have forgotten
–the mystery of not
–the delight of first
–the impatience to hurry
what will come next
–the terrible wonderfulness
of the changes…

Oxford, MS (Sports Network) - The 16th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels will attempt to
continue their reign atop the SEC standings on Tuesday night when they
entertain the Kentucky Wildcats at Tad Smith Coliseum.
Kentucky is fresh off a 75-70 home win over LSU on Saturday for its third win
in its last four contests to move to 4-2 in SEC play. The defending national
champions still have a ways to go to restore their reputation however, as they
are just 13-6 overall after beginning the season as the third-ranked team in
the country.
Ole Miss is undoubtedly one of the biggest surprises in the nation, and at
17-2 and 6-0 in conference action, it is off to its best start in program
history. The Rebels are in the midst of a nine-game winning streak, the
longest active streak in the SEC, and although they experienced a scare in
their latest game at Auburn, they escaped with a 63-61 victory. They now
return to Tad Smith Coliseum, where they are perfect in 11 tries this season.
Kentucky has thoroughly dominated the all-time series over Ole Miss, winning
99 of the 112 matchups.
The Wildcats built a comfortable 11-point halftime lead against LSU over the
weekend, and even though they allowed the Tigers to cut their deficit to just
one in the final minute, Kentucky was able to hold on for the five-point
victory. It shot nearly 52 percent from the floor in the triumph and was led
by a career-day from Alex Poythress, who tallied 20 points and 12 rebounds for
his first-ever double-double. Archie Goodwin added 15 points, Ryan Harrow
netted 11 points, and Nerlens Noels contributed 10 points, eight rebounds, and
six blocks.
In addition to posting 10.6 ppg and 9.4 rpg, Noel is one of the premiere
defenders in the country, blocking 4.3 shots and swiping 2.4 steals per
contest. He has swatted away at least six shots in five straight games.
Goodwin leads the team in both scoring (14.6 ppg) and assists (3.2 apg), and
Poythress rounds out the fantastic freshmen trio with 13.1 ppg and 6.6 rpg.
Kyle Wiltjer (11.3 ppg) and Harrow (10.1 ppg) are also double-digit scorers
for UK, which pours in 75.8 ppg, while yielding just 62.0 ppg.
Ole Miss and Auburn spent the majority of the second half on Saturday within
one possession of one another, but while the Tigers tied the game with a
minute left, the Rebels iced it at the foul line with a pair of game-winning
free throws by Marshall Henderson with just six seconds to play. Their saving
grace in the triumph was the 3-pointer, as they shot 11-of-24 from long range,
with LaDarius White draining all three of his long range buckets for 17
points. Marshall Henderson added 15 points (albeit on just 4-of-15 from the
floor), Jarvis Summer chipped in 14 points, and Murphy Holloway grabbed 11
Not only are the Rebels the SEC's top scoring team, but they rank fifth in the
nation in putting up 80.3 ppg. Henderson is the most potent scorer in the
conference, netting 19.2 ppg thanks in large part to his 74 3-pointers (sixth
in the nation). Rounding out the dynamic inside-outside duo is Holloway, who
scores 14.8 ppg on 55.6 percent shooting while grabbing a league-high 10.4
rpg. Reginald Buckner (9.9 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 2.8 bpg) is also a force to be
reckoned with in the paint, while Nick Williams (9.7 ppg) and Summers (8.8
ppg, 3.8 apg) are also consistently effective.

The mythology and history tell us of great struggles between sworn enemies. David and Goliath, Caesar and Brutus, Robespierre and Louis XVI are only a few. But for some years now in addition to this huge list we have two big names in the information technology! The multinational Microsoft and the GNU/Linux open source operating system. The struggles between the two never ends!
While Microsoft is trying by all means to keep under its control the market of the desktop, Linux itself in recent years is reaching incredibly important goals, mostly on the servers and embedded systems (Android ?). Despite the low blows of Microsoft, we can just take a look at the mythological UEFI chips, Linux does not give up though. Indeed, it always win a larger slice of users thanks to its distributions.

Crazy for cocoa
Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul, and by golly, these Christmas gifts are just about the jolliest snowmen I've ever seen! They might not have magic hats to bring them to life, but I think their cuteness makes up for it.
I saw these snowmen on Pinterest when I was brainstorming for gifts for the Heginbotham Library Extravaganza, and I just had to try them. I'm not a coffee drinker, so anything with hot chocolate makes me super excited!
I used a homemade hot cocoa recipe from pennies onaplatter.com, but you can use any kind of mix you like.
Start out with three baby food jars and fill one with marshmallows, one with hot chocolate mix and one with either chocolate chips or peppermints. (I also spray painted the lids silver, which is totally up to you.)
Paint on the eyes, nose, mouth and buttons and use hot glue to attach the three jars to each other. Cut a circle out of black felt and attach it to the top jar with a rubberband, covered with black ribbon. Cut a strip of fabric for the scarf and you're all set!

LaMaster: GW hoping 'to take that next step'
George Washington coach Jamie LaMaster is getting a good vibe.
"They make me feel good whenever I watch them play and work out,'' he said of his players. "They're giving me a lot of faith. It doesn't feel like a new season to us. It doesn't really feel like we've quit. I feel like they picked up from last year.''
The Patriots, who return four starters, advanced to the Class AAA state tournament semifinals the past two seasons and seem more than ready to take the next step. High school girls basketball teams may begin playing games today, but most in the Kanawha Valley open next week.
"They want to continue to keep it going,'' said LaMaster. "They want to get back. I think with the back-to-back state semis finishes, these kids know what it feels like to be a sectional champion and regional champion.
"Hopefully, this is the year. As far as punching through to the state title game, I think we can. It's a goal for us to take that next step. I think there's a lot that comes before that. They're ready to make a run at it.''
GW finished with a 17-10 overall record last season and upset second-seeded South Charleston in the quarterfinals of the state tournament before falling to eventual state champion Greenbrier East.
Patriots senior guard Rachel Ward, junior post player Kelli Jo Harrison, sophomore point guard Alanna Mobayed, senior guard Kayla Stewart and sophomore guard Hailey Stewart return to their starting positions. Ward averaged 12.8 points and Harrison tossed in 12.1. GW seniors Eva Roberts and Leslie Gilmore will add depth off the bench, as will sophomores Lilly Ash and Maria Romeo.
"We have the experience,'' LaMaster said. "We feel good about several positions, but we're looking for several other kids to fill spots and add some depth. I feel like overall, we're more athletic. We may be a little smaller, but we're a whole lot faster.''
John Testa takes over at South Charleston, which graduated all five starters from last year's squad that finished 21-4. The Black Eagles were state runners-up the previous two seasons.
"There's always talent at South Charleston,'' said Testa, a former women's assistant coach at the University of Charleston. "They practiced against those seniors last year, so I'm really expecting some good things. We're ready to go.''
Seniors Alliyah Webb and Laci Jarrell will be looked upon for guidance, while sophomores Lina Villanueva and Aryaunna Mosley are the only two who logged significant minutes last season.
Meredith Lauerman, a 6-2 senior who hasn't played the last two years, juniors Frankie Bland and Kirstie Travert and sophomore Alexia Wade, who was on last year's team, will fill starting spots.
Paul Sutherland returns to the court for the first time since the 2007-08 season at Charleston Catholic, which went 13-11 and lost in last year's Class A quarterfinals. Sutherland compiled a 159-43 record in eight seasons at Winfield, guiding the Generals to two Class AA state titles.
The Fighting Irish start the season in a hole with Catherine Bandak, a 6-foot center who was the team's second-leading scorer last year as a freshman, and incoming freshman Peri Bailey both out for the season with knee injuries. Sutherland will lean heavily on seniors Samantha Fletcher and Simone Assaley, who hasn't played since her freshman season, and juniors Anna Whelan and Hannah Gallian.
Freshman guard Madison Helmick, who set 3-point records in middle school, juniors Christina O'Dell, who hasn't hit the court since her junior year, sophomore Ali Persily and freshmen Raegan Palmer, Payton Mullen and Sophie Bumgarner will give the roster a boost. Athletic freshman Caroline Dundervill may join the team once a soccer injury heals.
Here's a quick glance at the rest of the teams in the Kanawha Valley, in alphabetical order, and their preparations for the upcoming season with last year's record in parentheses:
