The sun shines through Frederick’s water tower on the evening of Sept. 3. The water tower was recently given an inspection and was given a fantastic review, city council members said at their September meeting. The last time the tower was inspected about a decade ago.

Special to Frederick F.Y.I.

One of the benefits of living in a rural community is that we know how to fend for ourselves and take care of our family and neighbors. But our bodies are still subject to injury and illness, and our rural

zip code can mean that help is too far away and may arrive too late.

Both past and present members of the Frederick Area Ambulance Service have shown extraordinary dedication to the well-being of the community, but the truth is that Frederick and the surrounding townships have an extreme shortage of emergency medical personnel, and we need your help.

Greetings from Frederick Area School! The 2013-14 school year is underway

with some GREAT things hap-pening.

• We now have after-school Care for our parents located on the 2nd floor of the HS as well as Preschool 2 days/week.

• We have put together a room on the second floor of the high school for visiting counselors to use.

• The kitchen has a new roof, the lockers have new showers, and the library has a new keeper with a laminator.

• We have a new treadmill in the fitness center as well a speed bag (for those frustrating days).

• We are wrapping up concussion baseline testing for all of our athletes.

• Our ACT test scores improved!

• We have students attending morning and afternoon sessions of Vo-Tech in Aberdeen.

• IPads are now in use at the elementary level, and seventh and eighth grade students have their own to use during the day.

• We will have a calendar change of a full day of professional development with no Enhancement on Sept. 13.

• Finally, we are still looking for a one-act play advisor, oral interpretation advisor, and a junior high boys basketball coach.

We have a stacked lineup card of fabulous students and staff, from wonderful volunteers who helped paint our walls to make for an enjoyable learning setting to fantastic community members who assisted in the football field light project. THANK YOU!

Have a GREAT year and GO TITANS!

All students will be able to use iPads in some way this yearReporting by FASD Journalism

High school students at Frederick Area have been using iPads for a year, and now junior high and elementary students will also be able to use them to enhance learning.

Seventh- and eighth-grade students can check out the devices in the morning and check them back in at the end of the school day. Elementary students will have the use of two iPad labs during classes, as arranged by their teachers.

The expansion was started in part because the laptops that the junior high students had been using were wearing out, according to Principal Justin Downes.

“We were already making a transition to iPads in the high school anyway, so this allows (students) to get started on them earlier and get comfortable,” he said. “Financially they make more sense then going with the laptop.”

They are trying out the iPads for a few years before deciding whether to continue with them or re-invest in laptops, Downes said.

The iPads have some advantages over laptops: They are not as heavy or bulky, and keeping the protected in a backpack is easier, Downes said.

Downes uses the iPad for teacher evaluations, as its camera and video capabilities, along with a handy way to take notes, makes it work well for that task.

A few things still need to be worked out to use the devices to their full potential. They haven’t completed the compatibility requirements for the distance-learning course, so they are dual-platformed now, Downes said.

“Another limitation is the external keyboards, which we provide the students with if needed, but not many kids check them out,” he said. “Even though we do push

for that—we want (students) to use them for typing papers and stuff like that. We don’t want the papers to turn into a texting thing.”

If students don’t have an external keyboard they have to type on the screen, which is more cumbersome.

“Another limitation is Flash player,” Downes said, which is used for viewing animations or sometimes entire websites online. “Right now the iPads are not caught up on Flash.”

Downes said the school is doing what it can to make sure the iPads are used whenever they can be to supplement learning.

“I want to make sure that students are completely comfortable and really utilize them to their fullest potential,” Downes said. “I think that we just kind of scratched the surface last year and we want to keep expanding on them every year and get more comfortable with them.”

It is time for YOU, not just someone else, to step up to the plate and help your friends, family, and neighbors when they need it most.

Cole Adema, a nationally registered paramedic, and several of his local emergency medical colleagues will offer emergency medical technician classes IN FREDERICK this fall and winter. These classes will include all the training and resources necessary to meet the requirements, acquire the knowledge, and learn the skills to become a nationally registered and state-certified emergency medical technician.

Because of national class hour requirements and state testing schedules, the classes will start the first week of October and run to the end of February with appropriate breaks for major holidays.

Classes are tentatively scheduled from 6 to 10 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday evenings and the second Saturday of the each month from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Understanding harvest and sporting

event schedules, the instructors will

be as flexible as possible while maintaining core course requirements.

The cost for the class will be a commitment to serve one year on the Frederick Ambulance Service or $150.

Participants must be 18 years of age to be eligible for the certification.

Access to timely and professional prehospital emergency medical care is vital for a healthy community. Please consider making this investment in your community.

“The meeting went well,” Mikkonen said. “We got many of the things covered for homecoming week, which will be Sept. 23-27.”

This year’s homecoming theme is Fast Food. Student will build floats based on the theme to go through the parade, and they’ll be judged for their creativity.

Each class president brought ideas to the student council for possible dress-up day themes, and after discussion they settled on the following plan:

• Monday: No dress up due to Life Touch Pictures

• Tuesday: Redneck/Hobo Day• Wednesday: Super Hero Day• Thursday: Class Color Day• Friday: Spirit DayThe student council also hosts yearly games

for the student body to participate in during homecoming week, but those have yet to be determined.

“There were some ideas thrown out, and we’ll sort through them and decide later,” Mikkonen said.

TOP 10 REASONS TO BUY LOCAL

Adapted from “Ten Reasons” on LocalFirst.com

1 Significantly more money recirculates in your local community.When you purchase at locally owned businesses rather than non-local businesses, more money is kept in the community because local businesses frequently purchase from other local businesses. Purchasing local goods and services helps grow area businesses as well as the local tax base.

2 Unique businesses create character and prosperity.The unique character of our communities is what brought us here and keeps us here. Our tourism businesses also benefit.

3 Environmental impact is reduced.Local businesses make more local purchases and require less transportation. They are usually located in town rather than on the outskirts. This reduces sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution.

4 Most new jobs are provided by locally owned businesses.Small, locally owned businesses are the largest employers in the United States.

5 Nonprofits receive greater support.Local business owners donate more to local charities than non-local owners.

6 Customer service is better.Local businesses often hire people with more specific product or service expertise.

7 Local business owners invest in community.Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community, are less likely

to leave, and are more invested in the community’s future.

8 Public benefits far outweigh public costs.Local businesses require less infrastructure and more efficiently utilize public services compared to chain stores.

9 Competition and diversity lead to more and better choices.A marketplace of several small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term.

10 Investment in the greater region is encouraged.A growing body of economic research shows that in an increasingly homogenized world, entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character.

Done with your old magazines? Don’t throw them out just yet: The Emma Burnham Public Library in Frederick is offering a way to share and exchange magazines with others in the community.

The idea is called a magazine exchange. People can bring magazines they have finished reading that are less than a year old to the library. All are welcome to peruse magazines in the magazine exchange area and take home what they like at no charge. Those magazines could be brought back again to the library as long as they remain in good condition. (If they become torn or soiled, patrons are asked to recycle them.)

Many libraries in other communities have sponsored magazine exchanges. They cost

nothing but a little space and a bit of maintenance by the library staff and add to the information available to the community.

Patrons bringing in magazines may wish to black out their names on the address label before dropping them off.

The exchange is just getting started at the library. If you have questions, talk to Mavis Cox at 329-2241 or 329-2424.

The library is open from 1-7 p.m. Monday, 1-6 p.m. Wednesday, 1-6 p.m. Friday, and by appointment on Saturday (call Mavis at above numbers to schedule a time).

BITS & PIECESSTORE UPDATE: A raffle sponsored by the Frederick Area Historical Society is underway to benefit community projects, the first one being assistance for the Community Store. Cash prizes of $500, $250 and $100 will be drawn. Tickets are $10 each or six for $50. Contact Sheila Rahja at 216-0918 or [email protected] if you’d like to purchase tickets, or talk to any store board member. The Community Store had a good month of July, but the month of August was expected to be worse because the store was closed for a few days and because nearly the whole town of Frederick moved to Aberdeen for the week of the fair. Residents are still encouraged to do all the shopping they can at the store. Share purchase or donations are still welcome also: Stop by the bank or send donations to First National Bank, PO Box 576, Frederick, SD 57441.CITY COUNCIL CHANGE? Although nothing is for sure

yet, longtime residents and community servants Dennis and Maxine Kinslow may be moving to the Black Hills to be closer to family. Since Dennis is current mayor, how would that affect the current city government? City council members explained at their meeting Sept. 3 that if Dennis were to step down before April, they would appoint someone to serve until the next election cycle in April. An election would then be held. They were fairly certain that Dennis was already nearing the end of his three-year term, so whoever was elected would start serving a new three-year term. The mayor job is rotated among the current council members, they said.If the Kinslows do move, it would probably not be until spring, Dennis said.Dennis has served on the city council for many years and is also the city’s go-to maintenance support, and Maxine was the city finance officer for many years.

‘DOMINATING’ Westport team brings home national title

By Krysti MikkonenFrederick Forward

and Meghan Conn and Briana Nordine FASD Journalism

Few area teams in any sport even have the opportunity to play on a national level.

The U-14 Westport softball team not only made it to the ASA Na-tional Softball Tournament but owned the field there, outscoring its opponents 99 runs to 21 in six games.

The championship game against Gary, another S.D. team, was the closest score the Westport team saw the entire tournament. Gary had clawed its way back to the championship game after a loss in the quarterfinals before losing to Westport, 12-9.

Westport’s championship performance in North Mankato July 24-28 was a continuation of their stellar season. The team was 31-1, with the only loss coming in the second game of the season.

“We avenged that loss many times over, by double digits,” said coach Troy Podoll.

Most of the players were from Frederick and Westport, but players from Leola, Ipswich, Redfield and Webster were also part of the championship team. Seven of the players have been playing together for five years, and winning the national title had been a goal of theirs.

Podoll said every player gave a great performance. “It’s so hard to single out anyone, because one through 10, there

were no holes in this lineup,” he said. “This may not have been the best team ever, but it was the most dominating group that I’m aware of in eight years of coaching. They came to play every game. I never had to beg them to give me their best.”

He did highlight several stellar efforts: “Elizabeth Grabowska is

one of the best, most consistent hitters I’ve coached and seen in eight years of coaching softball. Taryn Rossow made half a dozen highlight reel (ESPN worthy) catches in the outfield. I haven’t figured out batting averages yet, but Michaela Podoll may have been our best percentage, batting

in the 7 hole. Keely Podoll and Brooklin Nordine pitched strikes, giving up nearly no walks in the tournament, which is very overlooked. Mallory Gauer has been a leader on this team for years.”

Their overall defensive efforts and pitching were highlights of the tournament, Podoll said.

“Until the final game, where I think the girls were a bit nervous, we had only surrendered 10 runs in five games, which is unheard-of in girls slow-pitch softball,” he said.

Pitcher Keely Podoll said the girls learned sportsmanship skills and gained a lot of confidence and over the season. And the best part came last.

“Winning the national championship game was the highlight of their summer,” she said.

Pitcher Brooklin Nordine said their coaches had a lot to do with the team’s success.

“They were very understanding and always pushed us to succeed,” Nordine said.

Where they go from here is in question: Many of the girls will be too old for this division next year. Whether they will have a 16-and-under team has been hotly debated, coach Podoll said. “Answer to be determined.”

Nordine and Keely Podoll, however, know what they want the next year to bring.

Can you drive? If so, you can help!

Frederick’s Rideline program has lost three of its drivers. We would like to add a few new names to the list. You don’t need to commit to any days or times; you’d just receive an occasional call to see if you can drive a member of a community to appointments or shopping. And you can do your own errands on the same trip! Please consider whether YOU can be a Rideline driver! To volunteer, call Donna at 605-329-2462.

Cross CountryJanelle Barondeau, cross country coach

What are some challenges that are foreseen for this season?

The biggest challenge so far has been getting quality workouts in the heat we’ve had. Also, for a lot of the athletes it’s the challenge of learning a new sport. This is the first year for six of our runners.

Does it look like a tough schedule?

Yes, Ipswich will be at many of our meets and they will be one of the toughest teams in the state again.

What sort of things are you working on to get ready for the season?

We are working on setting goals, improving running form, getting a feel for pace, and

building endurance.Are you excited for the

season? Definitely! We have some

new faces and some great attitudes! It’s a treat working with this bunch.

FootballMarty Morlock, varsity football coach

What are your expectations for the season?

To have a successful season.What’s the main advantage

that our team has over others?Age and experience is the

main advantage.What is the main game plan

for the season?Win every quarter, every half,

and every game.What’s the most favorable

weather for game time?

The weather that’s present.What is a major

improvement that the team needs to make from last season?

Two-point conversions.

VolleyballHolly Mueller, volleyball coach

How have the first practices gone?

I think that the first couple of practices have gone really well! I am noticing that the athletes are working hard and if they are getting tired or something is not going their way, they are working harder to push through the pain or to get better in that area.

Does it look like a tough schedule?

I think our schedule is well balanced with some tough

games and then some games that won’t be quite as tough. I want all players to bring their “A” game to each game whether we think it is a “tough” game or an “easy” game.

What sort of things are you working on get ready for the season?

We, of course, are conditioning to get ready for the season but also will be working on our defensive positions and also will be working on making sure that we always have a hit when we send the ball over. I want us to work on not sending as many free balls over the net.

What do you expect from your team this year?

I expect them to give 100 percent all of the time, whether it is a practice day or a game day.
