R 2 | Lyon County ReporterDecember 3, 2014 community Fire prevention week coloring contest winners Central Lyon seventh grade mock trial team competes Each year in October, during National Fire Prevention week, Rock Rapids firefight- ers visit Central Lyon kindergarten students to share fire safety tips, explain their gear and let students see a fire truck up close. The fire department also sponsors a coloring contest with winners receiving a Pizza Ranch gift card. Rock Rapids fire- fighter Eric Borman, pictured in back, recently announced the winners and pre- sented them with their prizes. This year’s winners (pictured in front, left to right) were: Logan Koob, Lexie DeWeerd, Egan Pedersen, Maria Metzger, Lilly Jo Slade, and Molly Konechne. Missing from the photo was Maliyah Frederes.

The Central Lyon team scored more points than a sixth grade team who went 2-0 but ended the day of regional competition in 10th place in head-to-head competition.

In reality, it is an anonymous app where students often bully others and is causing havoc across the state with stu- dents using this app inappropriately. “The thing about Yik Yak is that it doesn’t show who posted. So people can say anything about anybody they want or about any sit- uation or issue and it doesn’t say who said it,” explained Harman. However, Harman is quick to reiterate that, while students may think Yik Yak pro- vides anonymity, anything is traceable. “Students can look at the post and not know who wrote it, but everything is trace- able. If there were threats being made, the police can trace that,” she said. Messages sent on Yik Yak are limited by location and can be identied where they are coming from as well. To minimize the potential harm that could arise from misuse of Yik Yak, Central Lyon administrators have put several mea- sures in place, including actively monitor- ing the activity on Yik Yak, requesting soft- ware to disable the app within the radius of the building, posting information on the school’s website and asking parents to talk to their kids about the app. “The more par- ents know about what social media sites their kids are on, the safer the kids will be,” said Harman. “As school administrators, we are more concerned about what apps kids are us- ing along the lines of bullying. You can see bullying in dierent forms on social media and some of it we can deal with at school, some of it we can’t,” she said. According to Harman, experts oer sev- eral points parents should consider doing to protect their children: have kids delete Yik Yak and use Twitter; set restriction op- tions on kids’ mobile devices; explain that anonymous posts end up public and police can still nd them; make sure they know if they threaten someone else they will get caught by the police; and ask kids if they have friends that are on the app. “If you are going to allow your kids to have Yik Yak, know what they are saying on it,” said Harman. “The biggest thing is par- ents need to know what apps their kids are using. There is an app out there that kids can download that lets them hide all of the apps on their devices. Parents need to be aware of what apps are out there, what they are used for and what their kids are doing on their devices,” she said. And Central Lyon administrators want to remind students to keep social media posts “light, bright and polite.” There’s an app for that SOCIAL MEDIA from Page 1 8 th Anniversary Sale Thurs-Sat | December 4, 5 & 6 Thank you for all your business the past 8 years!
