September is known as the fashion and style issue in the magazine world, and we’re thrilled to participate in the trend. Styles are ever-changing, and the fashion world continuously brings us a fresh new take on something from generations past or shares an entirely new concept for us to enjoy. Our definition of style in daily life is far-ranging. This month also reminds us of a historical event of major proportions. In September 1922, a fire devastated most of Frisco’s downtown. This land mark incident illustrated the need for improved firefighting capabilities to protect the lives and property of the Frisco citizens. Following this fire, a warning siren was purchased for $90 and mounted on top of Frisco’s only two-story building located at the corner of Fourth and Main. This siren warned residents of tornadoes and other threatening weather, as well as alerted volunteer firefighters of reported fires and the need for them to respond. Additional equipment was purchased through funds raised by the volunteer firefighters at events, such as barn dances, waffle suppers and raf fles. A second fire truck was purchased in 1923, a Stutz Bearcat, which had a siren and carried hoses to fight fire with water rather than chemicals. In 1940 a new Ford Pumper was acquired at a cost of $3,500. In late 2006, Frisco’s new Central Fire Station and Frisco Fire Safety Town opened. Our most recent station, Frisco Fire Station #9 opened in May 2019. We’re certainly grateful for this historic preparation and current fire emergency services. With the changing of seasons comes the time for a closet refresh. Fashion choices can reveal a bit of our personalities and are a great way to express our selves. So, bring on fall in your own best style, and we’ll see you around town.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE | HEALTH + WELLNESS ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON | PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRANDI RICHARDS PICKLEBALL: THE NEW JAM, ESPECIALLY FOR PINING PICKLERS Aging With Style 20

"Several of us play nearly every day," says Frisco res ident Emil Sommerlad, who started playing pickleball about 14 months ago. "Others Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday. Many of the same players, and then some others on Saturday. I try to play every day, and there are several that also try."
It’s been about two and a half years since Frisco Parks & Recreation staffers opened a pair of pickleball courts at The Grove, 8300 McKinney Road, the department’s active adult center.
During the summer heat, Emil says some players start at 7 a.m. "But usually by 8:30, most are there. It's a little different during the spring, fall and winter," adds the 79-year-old.
Local senior citizens who play the sport of pickleball most mornings at The Grove at Frisco Commons take their sport seriously. So seriously, they felt a bit lost when the pickleball courts were closed recently for a few days forPickleball,repainting.which reportedly began on the West Coast more than 50 years ago with a badminton court, ping pong paddles and a whiffle ball, boomed in popularity in the past few years. Pickleballs now are slightly larger than tennis balls and are made of plastic. Pickleball paddles are usually made of wood, graphite and composite materials.
Frisco resident Emil Sommerladmil
"Everyone plays, and sometimes you get a competitive partner, and sometimes you get a learner; people adjust. Everyone is very courteous to their fellow players."
Sometimes there are as many as 16 to 18 players or those waiting to play, Emil observes. "I’d say the average age attending is 65. And very interestingly, I’d say it’s 50/50 male/female. Everyone plays, and sometimes you get a com petitive partner, and sometimes you get a learner; people adjust. Everyone is very courteous to their fellow players."
— Emil Sommerlad
Some “picklers” (as the sport’s fervent players are known) who lack dedicated courts on which to play have been resourceful and use painter’s tape to mark make shift courts in driveways or cul-de-sacs, which have been illuminated with vehicle headlights during nighttime games. Others reportedly have marked pickleball court lines on tennis courts sitting idle at Frisco-area schools where they play games on weekends.
Emil says newcomers are welcomed "as if they were playing with us for a while." He says he devotes about 2 hours to being on-site each trip, with about 75% of that time spent playing. The Grove has two courts, and four people play on one court at one time, so eight are play ing altogether. He says they follow a rotation system that makes sure everyone gets a fair turn of playing.
"Newcomers are welcomed as if they were playing with us for a while."
At The Grove, pickleball players sign up at the adult center's front desk. Cost for lessons is $40 per month; membership is required for lessons. As of this May, pick leball courts are open for play seven days a week during daylight hours, except during lessons. No membership is required for open play. Cost to play pickleball for residents is $50 per year, non-residents is $100 per year. A day pass costs $3 per day.

"We also have an informal texting system where we try to alert everyone if weather or other conditions limit play," he Severaladds. education
teachers who normally work during school days are using the summer to play pickleball. "A sig nificant number of our players are retired, but some leave to go to work, or may play on their days off," Emil says.
