Melanie Petty presents check to Little League President Dustin McLaren
The Atlantic Little League organization has received a $500 donation to support the youth’s activities. The monies were made possible through the Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund, which also supports the Trevor Frederickson Baseball/Softball Clinic each spring held prior to their regular little league season.
Each participant receives a t-shirt with a motivational saying on the back. This year’s saying, “Don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game,” was a huge hit with the players.
Frederickson, the son of Darrin and Melanie Petty of Atlantic and Gary and Kari Frederickson of Council Bluffs, lost his life in a 2009 residential fire in Council Bluffs.
Melanie Petty with the Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund, says the organization looks forward to a continued partnership with Atlantic Little League, in the years to come.

St. Albert High School in Council Bluffs has been invited by conference officials to join the Hawkeye Ten. Harlan Activities Director Mitch Osborn, who also serves as president of the Hawkeye Ten Conference says they have been discussing the possibility since last winter trying to be proactive. Osborn says St. Albert already competes with most of the Hawkeye 10 Schools with the exception of football. The consensus is that scheduling and developing more rivilaries would be a benefit to the conference. If St. Albert decides to join the conference, their constitution would allow that to happen in 2013, possibly a year earlier under certain conditions. St. Albert school officials will vote on the proposal in September.
Two children were hurt Friday afternoon, when the vehicle they were traveling in crashed into an embankment near Red Oak. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports the accident happened at around 3:45-p.m. on Highway 34, at the intersection with L Avenue.
Officials say 75-year old Keith Wayne Rhone, of Rockwall, TX, was driving a 2001 Chevy Suburban eastbound on Highway 34, when he fell asleep at the wheel. The SUV and a travel trailer it was pulling, crossed the westbound lane of traffic and entered the north ditch. The vehicle traveled about 400-feet before hitting an embankment and coming to rest.
Two, unidentified children in the SUV suffered minor injuries, and were transported by Red Oak Rescue to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital for treatment. The suburban was a total loss, while the travel trailer sustained about $500 damage.
