FREDERICK HOSTS REGION 6B TEENER BASEBALL TOURNAMENT
Come and join the fun of the 2008 Region 6B Teener Baseball Tournament hosted in Frederick, Monday - Wednesday, July 28 - July 30. It should prove to be an excellent source of local entertainment. Leola-Frederick's Teener baseball team has faired pretty well this season and should represent the area with a strong showing. While the team's name is under Leola-Frederick Teeners, there are several communities that have young men on the team. In addition to Frederick & Leola, there are also players from Westport, Hecla, and Barnard. There will be decent competition at the tournament with Eureka & Northville both having strong showings along with Leola-Frederick. "As recent play in other tournaments have shown, it's anybody's tournament. Northville was beat by Groton with Northville being the favored team in a South Dakota Legion regional tournament. Also, Ellendale was the number two seed and Lamoure, the number one seed, with both teams getting beat in their first round of the Legion Tournament in Oakes, ND." said Marty Morlock. The overall record for Leola is 22-12 with their only losses coming to Class "A" schools. The players for the Leola-Frederick Teeners are Casson Campbell, Levi Christianson, Brady Enge, Adam Dutenhoffer, Brandon Haas, Matt Haas, Doug Kallas, Derek Mitzel, Chris Paulson, Luke Schaunaman, Jamie Taylor, Ty Sumption & Cole Truebenbach. Leola-Frederick plays their first game Monday, July 28 @ 5:00 pm and will play the winner of the 1:00 pm game, either Selby or Clark.
WAYSIDE CEMETARY
This spring the Alpha Circle planted four rows of trees in the southwest corner of the cemetery. Lilac, cedar, maple and hackberry trees were planted and fitted with weed barrier fabric. All the trees are still growing so we are hoping that it rains and that the deer and rabbits find something else to chew on this winter. We appreciated the help of Mark Hoerner (who just happened to drive by), Bob Nixon, Scott Campbell, Bruce Durheim, Richard Bakeberg, and Katie Groop, who in addition to the Alpha members of Val Nixon, Margaret Sumption, Teresa Campbell and Lynette Durheim, made short work of planting all the trees and laying the fabric. Richard Bakeberg also does a nice job of keeping the area mowed and trimmed throughout the summer. Donations for the maintenance of the cemetery can be sent to the Frederick First National Bank or to Lynette Durheim, 38586 101st Street, Ellendale, ND 58436. Thanks to the many people that have given so generously for the upkeep of the cemetery.

FINN FEST WAS FANTASTIC Come to the Little Finn Town on the Prairie!
While turnout was small, it was really great fun for everyone that attended. The weather was unbelievably perfect. There was no wind, it wasn't too hot or cold and best of all, there were hardly any bugs. The event began on Friday evening with a picnic. The food was good and plentyful. The evening events included "Pluck-a-Duck", which was a replacement of the duck races so we didn't lose the ducks in the river. The highlight of the evening was probably the fire on the water. The teepee tower of wood was built on a raft by Dale Groop & Gary Peterson. After several attempts by Mark Sumption to light the fire with a flaming arrow shot with his bow, the fire was lit by hand and released back to the middle of the river. The glass-like water made for an inspiring, and absolutely unbelievable beautiful scene on the Maple river. The evening ended with some fantastic fireworks from the Lonny Mikkonen families, Finnish Line Fireworks and a Movie.
Saturday began with a road race coordinated by Janel Barondeau, the local track and cross country coach. Simultaneously, Stacey and Stephanie Sumption, along with some great help hosted a pancake/sausage breakfast. The Finn bread tasting contest went all morning with many requests to purchase Finn Bread. When they found there was none to be sold the dissapointment was obvious that selling Finn Bread is a must for next year. The kiddie parade and bed races were also a great deal of fun both for the participants and for those that were watching.
The afternoon included the Finnish tradition of the wife carrying contest, volleyball tournament, Corn Hole (bean bag contest), and inflatable games at the park. Later in the afternoon the Legion hosted bingo and Fingo (Finnish prizes). After complete review the celebration was deemed a success and worthy of continuation. It was recommended that the celebration be a one-day event. Next year's Finn Fest will be held on June 27th.
