By Pat VerSteeg -- It was a crisp<br />
December evening last Saturday as<br />
the Dempsey faithful gathered at<br />
the Dempsey school house for food,<br />
fun and fellowship. The walls of<br />
the old school house were adorned<br />
with Christmas wreaths in keeping<br />
with the season and the theme of<br />
the evening. Denise Parman opened<br />
with the introduction of first timers<br />
and honored those with December<br />
birthdays. First timers recognized<br />
were Donna Nickel and Gentry Herren.<br />
December birthdays honored<br />
were Gloria Hargrave and Denise<br />
Parman. Suzann VerSteeg played<br />
Happy Birthday on the piano as all<br />
sang to honor the December birthdays.<br />
Denise led all in the Pledge to<br />
Our Flag and Randy Parman offered<br />
the blessing for the meal. Denise<br />
then recognized the veterans and<br />
invited them and their families to<br />
go through the line first. The celebrants<br />
dined on hearty stews, corn<br />
bread, salad and desserts to finish<br />
off the meal.<br />

favorite Christmas songs and Suzann<br />
VerSteeg who will accompany on the<br />
piano. Figianna is an accomplished<br />
vocalist, once having tried out for<br />
the opera.” Figianna and Suzann<br />
took the stage and performed to the<br />
delight of the audience a number<br />
of favorite Christmas songs. At<br />
one point Figianna introduced her<br />
daughter, Mia, who joined in on two<br />
songs, and all joined in a rousing<br />
sing-along. The songs performed<br />
were: Silver Bells, Rudolph the Red-<br />
Nosed Reindeer, Silent Night, Jingle<br />
Bells, What Child Is This?, Mary Did<br />
You Know?, and Gesu’ Bambino.<br />

American Pickers Visit Local Collector<br />
It started with the announcement “American Pickers are<br />
Coming to Oklahoma” and they are looking for collections<br />
they can view.<br />
After a few phone calls from friends to Jr. Porter’s daughter<br />
Jan Bailey, the decision was made to contact the Pickers<br />
and let them know about the local collector’s items. After<br />
many emails, pictures and information exchanged, the Porter’s<br />
were notified “You’ve been selected!”<br />
Hosts of the popular television documentary series, Mike<br />
Wolfe and Frank Fritz, drove in to Western Oklahoma on<br />
Sunday, December 3, 20<strong>17</strong>. After a fun-filled full day of<br />
picking Jr.’s collection the cast and crew drove off with a<br />
honk, a wave and “Sweet Pickin!”<br />
Along with his passion for collecting, Jr. is a retired farmer<br />
and owner-operator of the local feed store. He was also a<br />
rural mail carrier with a 146-mile daily route.<br />
Jr. bought his first 22 pistol with his own money when<br />
he was <strong>12</strong>-years old and has been collecting every since.<br />
His real love is collecting local history. “It’s not about the<br />
merchandise but about the history of the community that<br />
I love the most,” he stated.<br />
In the early years Jr. would spend every weekend going to<br />
gun shows or auctions and his collection just grew. He still<br />
enjoys attending gun shows and going to auctions. Although<br />
he is ready to let some of his collection go, he is still pretty<br />
attached to most of it.<br />
Henry Porter, Jr. was born and raised in Roger Mills<br />
County on the family farm that his grandfather claimed in<br />
the 1892 run. He and wife Lucille raised two daughters, Jan<br />
and Donna on the homeplace and they continue to reside<br />
in the original home.<br />
The American Pickers show featuring Jr. will air in 3-4<br />
months. The family will be notified later of the exact date.<br />
Watch here for more information.<br />
EXCITEMENT…It was probably one of the most exciting things that has happened in Roger Mills County when on<br />
Sunday the American Pickers came to view Jr. Porters antiques and collectibles. Pictured are the camera crew along<br />
with Jr., Frank Fritz and Mike Wolfe. Watch for details on when the documentary will air on the History channel. See<br />
more pictures inside on page 6B.

CRAWFORD<br />
Sue Pearson<br />
It is Tuesday morning and I am<br />
wondering when the nice warm<br />
weather went. Burrr! It is cold<br />
outside.<br />
The Crawford Church will enjoy<br />
the December fellowship meal<br />
Sunday, December 10th. Please<br />
join your friends and neighbors for<br />
delicious food, fabulous fellowship,<br />
and good old-fashioned fun. If you<br />
want to, you may bring a covered<br />
dish, preferably with food in it. Of<br />
course, you are invited and encouraged<br />
to attend Sunday School at 10<br />
and Church at 11.<br />
Last Saturday there was a birthday<br />
celebration for three of Rocky<br />
and Sara Montgomery Allen’s children<br />
– Braxton, Trey and Tara, each<br />
have December birthdays so a party<br />
in honor or the trio was held at the<br />
Allen cabin.<br />
Braxton Allen was really celebrating<br />
later when he harvested his<br />
first deer. That is a special time for<br />
young hunters. I remember when<br />
my grandson Adam took his first<br />
deer on a hunting trip with Paw-<br />
Paw Dean.<br />
Congratulations to Bob and<br />
Shirley Bright Cogburn who will<br />
celebrate 50 years of wedded bliss<br />
on Saturday. Their anniversary is<br />
December 22 but due to the celebration<br />
of Christmas, they are having<br />
an early party.<br />
The annual Christmas Ball will<br />
be at the Crawford Gym December<br />
9th. Dining will begin at 6 p.m. followed<br />
with an evening of dancing<br />
and fun.<br />
Thank you to Linda Eakins<br />
and her helpers for decorating<br />
the church at Crawford. It looks<br />
beautiful!<br />
This advise is for all of you who<br />
do not attend church because of the<br />
hypocrites who are there; stay away<br />
from Wal-Mart! I assure you, there<br />
are more hypocrites at Wal-Mart<br />
than at any church.<br />
May you experience the hop,<br />
peace, and joy God gave us in the<br />
Person of His Son Jesus.<br />
DURHAM<br />
Karen Harman<br />
Here it is already December. We<br />
sure do need some moisture but<br />
hope its not all ice and just a little<br />
snow. The decorations are beginning<br />
to go up and its beginning to look a<br />
lot like Christmas around Durham.<br />
The DWW and Durham Quilting<br />
Bees will be having their Christmas<br />
parties.<br />
Danny Ringer and his lovely wife,<br />
Penny, were guests at the Baptist<br />
Church for Sunday morning services.<br />
Danny imparted a wonderful<br />
Christmas season sermon on the<br />
birth of Jesus in Jerusalem in the<br />
inn surrounded by the animals<br />
2000 years ago. But he reminded<br />
everyone its not about the crowded<br />
manger scene but the empty cross<br />
that we look up to for our hope and<br />
salvation.<br />
The Durham Baptist Church is<br />
decorating and making plans for<br />
the Saturday evening music program<br />
with Billy and Loretta Whitfield<br />
and their friends, Dale and Merlene<br />
Hester. There will be so much<br />
entertainment we hope they can<br />
for all your Accounting and Income Tax Services call on<br />

Cheyenne Community<br />
Choir Presents Living<br />
Christmas Tree<br />
The Cheyenne Community Choir<br />
has been preparing for a very special<br />
event this Christmas season, a<br />
musical celebration in the shape of<br />
a Christmas tree. If you are unfamiliar<br />
with what this is, let me tell you<br />
about it. The Living Christmas Tree<br />
is a structure made of steel that the<br />
choir sings from. It will be around<br />
15 feet high and decorated with<br />
tinsel and lights and the ornaments<br />
are the choir members.<br />
There will be two performances<br />
this year that will be filled with<br />
wonderful sounds of the season,<br />
including both traditional and new<br />
Christmas songs. Each performance<br />
will also include many of our talented<br />
community members who will<br />
sing and play a number of solos,<br />
duets and trios. The Community<br />
Choir will then present a musical<br />
called “Come, Let Us Adore”<br />
which will include both traditional<br />
carols as well as some new songs<br />
for Christmas.<br />
The Living Christmas Tree will<br />
be the largest Christmas Tree in<br />
Roger Mills County and you definitely<br />
won’t want to miss it. Performances<br />
are Saturday, December 9, at<br />
6:00 pm and Sunday, December 10,<br />
at 6:00 PM. The performances will<br />
be in the FBC Family Center. For<br />

for the season—Jesus.<br />

Issues of Life<br />
Pastor Andy Taylor<br />
“They came to the other side of the sea. And when Jesus had come out<br />
of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an<br />
unclean spirit.” Mark 5:1-2<br />
It appears that Jesus and the twelve went across the sea for one specific<br />
reason. And immediately when they came ashore they were confronted with<br />
a man who was severely demonized. He lived naked in the mountains and<br />
among the tombs there. He had been chained and shackled more than a<br />
few times but the chains couldn’t hold him long before he shattered them.<br />
He cried out night and day with a loud voice and cut himself with stones.<br />
He was known throughout the country as a crazy man!<br />
When he saw Jesus he ran to Him and began to worship Him. The<br />
demons spoke and begged Jesus not to torment them. This is a classic<br />
story and it proves that Jesus didn’t just go around doing a lot of random<br />
things. He crossed over the sea, encountered a violent storm for the specific<br />
purpose of setting this man free from his demonic captivity. And, that’s<br />
exactly what He did. The man was totally set free and went around telling<br />
what God had done for him.<br />
I used to teach that Jesus was ‘needs oriented’; that wherever He went<br />
and whatever needs He encountered….he met them. But I’ve changed<br />
my position over the years and I wouldn’t teach it that way now. No, Jesus<br />
didn’t do a lot of random things….He was led by the Spirit of the Lord.<br />
He only went where the Father directed Him and He only did the Father’s<br />
will. It’s the example that we should follow as well. We shouldn’t do a lot<br />
of random things…we should do what the Father directs!<br />
Thank You<br />
I would like to thank the area churches and everyone else for their cards<br />
and prayers while I was getting over foot surgery. May God bless you as<br />
he has me.<br />
Jim McClellan<br />
Thank You<br />
I would like to thank everyone who sent cards, brought food, the phone<br />
calls and especially for the prayers in my behalf while I had cancer, GOD<br />
still answers prayers. My last petscan showed that my cancer was healed.<br />
God Bless You All.<br />

“He will rejoice over you. You will rest in his love; he will sing<br />
and be joyful about you.” Zephaniah 3:<strong>17</strong><br />
God is for you. Turn to the sidelines; that’s God cheering<br />
your run. Look past the finish line; that’s God applauding your<br />
steps. Listen for him in the bleachers, shouting your name. Too<br />
tired to continue? He’ll carry you. Too discouraged to fight?<br />
He’s picking you up. God is for you.<br />
God is for you. Had he a calendar, your birthday would be<br />
circled. If he drove a car, your name would be on his bumper.<br />
If there’s a tree in heaven he’s carved your name in the bark.<br />
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no<br />
compassion on the child she has borne?” God asks in Isaiah<br />
49:15. What a bizarre question. Can you mothers imagine<br />
feeding your infant and then later asking, “What was that baby’s<br />
name?” No, I’ve seen you care for your young. You stroke<br />
the hair, you touch the face, you sing the name over and over.<br />
Can a mother forget? No way. But “even if she could forget...I<br />
will not forget you,” God pledges (Isaiah 49:15).<br />

Bernice Colleen Burns<br />
Bernice Colleen Burns was born<br />
in Kiowa, near Hammon, Oklahoma<br />
on October 22, 1925, the third child<br />
of Henry and Mabel Hawkins. She<br />
passed away peacefully, surrounded<br />
by her family on November 30,<br />
20<strong>17</strong>.<br />
Bernice grew up on a farm in<br />
the 30’s, when times were hard, and<br />
everyone had to pitch in. She graduated<br />
from Cheyenne High School<br />
in 1943. It was in high school where<br />
she met Leland Burns who would<br />
become her husband shortly after<br />
graduating. Bernice would say "My<br />
life began when I met Leland." The<br />
night of their marriage, Leland and<br />
Bernice left for Norfolk, Virginia<br />
where he had received orders<br />
from the United States Navy. She<br />
stayed with him in Norfolk for ten<br />
months where she delivered their<br />
first child, Mickey, two weeks after<br />
he deployed. Bernice then returned<br />
home to make a life in Cheyenne.<br />
Eleven months later, Bernice traveled<br />
to Boston, Massachusetts to<br />
visit Leland while he was docked<br />
state-side and returned to Cheyenne,<br />
pregnant with their second child.<br />
Leland completed his service and<br />
returned home on December 14,<br />
1945, just hours after their daughter,<br />
Judy, was born.<br />
Their life together as a family<br />
began on that day. Soon, Leland<br />
and Bernice bought a small farm<br />
northwest of Cheyenne and love<br />
filled the small house they called<br />
home. A few years later, another<br />
son, Jim was born, and their family<br />
was complete. In 1957, Leland and<br />
Bernice moved to town and in 1959<br />
bought the home in which they have<br />
resided ever since.<br />
Bernice was employed at the<br />
county extension office where<br />
she worked for over twenty years.<br />
Retirement did not mean a life<br />
of rest and relaxation for Leland<br />
and Bernice. They purchased the<br />
bowling alley in Sayre and ran it until<br />
1980. From 1980 on, Leland and<br />
Bernice could be found daily on a<br />
golf course, somewhere. If asked,<br />
Bernice likely would have said, she<br />
loved Jesus, Leland, her family, and<br />
golf. In that order! She was a talented<br />
athlete and fierce competitor.<br />
Bernice won numerous bowling<br />
and golf tournaments and golf club<br />
championships. She loved to play<br />
games and do puzzles and regularly<br />
hosted friends for bridge.<br />
Bernice loved to travel, insisting<br />
that Leland always accompany her<br />
and since he could never tell her no,<br />
he always went. They enjoyed trips<br />
to Hawaii, Mexico, Washington D.C.,<br />
New York, Alaska, and Nova Scotia<br />
to name a few. Without question<br />
though, her favorite place to go was<br />
to their home in Angel Fire, New<br />
Mexico. Beginning in 1983, Leland<br />
and Bernice spent every summer<br />
playing golf in the cool mountain<br />
air. From June to September, they<br />
would play daily. In 2013 Leland<br />
and Bernice celebrated their 70th<br />
wedding anniversary in Angel Fire<br />
with a family golf tournament.<br />
Bernice loved the Lord. She<br />
joined the church in 1938 where<br />
she later served as a Sunday School<br />
teacher, youth sponsor, choir member,<br />
bell ringer, and prayer warrior<br />
her whole life. One of her greatest<br />
joys was writing her Sunday School<br />
lesson each week. She once said her<br />
favorite books were the Bible and<br />
the Wiersbe Commentaries. She had<br />
unshakable faith and believed God<br />
always has a plan and would always<br />
see her through.<br />
Leland and Bernice enjoyed every<br />
minute of their 73 years together.<br />
She was a shining example of what<br />
a wife, mother and grandmother<br />
should be. Her family considers<br />
themselves blessed beyond measure<br />
to have had her for 92 years.<br />
Bernice is preceded in death by<br />
her loving husband, Leland; her<br />
parents, Henry and Mabel Hawkins;<br />
her father and mother-in-law,<br />
"Red" and Pearl Burns; her brother,<br />
James Hawkins; her sister, Beatrice<br />
Williams; her brother-in-law, Bob<br />
Burns; her son-in-law, Sam Wood;<br />
her niece, Lisa Heinen; and a grandson,<br />
Chad Burns.<br />
She is survived by her devoted<br />
children, Mickey and Janet Burns<br />
of Minco, Judy Wood of Kingfisher,<br />
Jim and Mary Burns of Cheyenne;<br />
her seven grandchildren and their<br />
spouses, Rene and David Dacus of<br />
Minco, OK, Jay and Libby Wood<br />

Awake to Righteousness<br />
Presented by Jonathan Hagar<br />
If you could ask the church<br />
of Christ any question, what<br />
would it be?<br />
A few weeks ago, I was asked about the appearances evil. It was asked,<br />
“Is it wrong for one to live with a member of the opposite sex even if you<br />
are not committing fornication?” The Bible warns of fornication and the<br />
fact that it is a sin (Heb. 13:4, Matt. 19:9, Gal. 5:19-21). Unfortunately in<br />
our American culture, cohabitation with the opposite sex often manifests<br />
in sexual immorality and fornication. According to the survey released in<br />
April 2013 by the National Center for Health Statistics, which is part of the<br />
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of American<br />
couples between the ages of 15-44 years of age live together before marriage.<br />
Of the 50,000 couples interviewed, nearly 20 percent became pregnant and<br />
gave birth after only one year of co-habitation. According to the report, the<br />
statistics of pregnancy and birth increased the longer a couple co-habited.<br />
The lead demographer with the National Center for Health Statistics,<br />
Casey Copen, affirmed in a U.S. News and World Report article written in<br />
April of 2013 just after the statistics were released, “As you cohabit longer,<br />
there's more of a chance to become pregnant.” The report suggests that<br />
living together implies sexual relations, and in the current U.S. culture, living<br />
together and having children does not imply that one is married, but it does<br />
imply sexual relations. God condemns sexual relations outside the marriage<br />
bed and warns that no fornicator “shall inherit the kingdom of God” (1<br />
Cor. 6:9-10). No Christian should knowingly put themselves in a position<br />
that would damage their influence and cause implications of living in sin, or<br />
even advocating the sin. If a Christian man or woman lives with a member<br />
of the opposite sex, it implies that they advocate and endorse living with<br />
the opposite sex, which in American culture implies sexual immorality. “A<br />
good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather<br />
than silver and gold” (Prov. 22:1). The wisdom of God goes further to state,<br />
“A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself ” (Prov. 22:3a). We<br />
should avoid that which clearly leads to sin.<br />
Paul met a similar situation in Corinth (1 Cor. 11:1-16). It was a custom<br />
and tradition in the culture of ancient Corinth that women wore veils to<br />
represent their submission to their husbands (vs. 3, 5). Women without veils<br />
were considered to be harlots and rebellious (vs. 5-6). Christian women in<br />
Corinth viewed their liberty in Christ as a reason to not wear a veil, but<br />
Paul explains that because your culture deems uncovered women to be<br />
shameful to their husbands, the wearing of veils should be honored because<br />
it represents Christian principles. Paul does affirm that God speaks of no<br />
command to wear veils universally, but he also explains that Christians should<br />
endorse and honor cultural representations of Christian principles (1 Cor.<br />
11:10-16). Just as living together in American culture implies sexual relations,<br />
Christians should abstain from living together and uphold the practices<br />
of not living together before marriage because it honors and reinforces<br />
Christian principles. As Paul writes, “Abstain from all appearance of evil”<br />
(1 Thess. 5:22). Basically, if we are single, we should live like we are single.<br />
If we are married then we should live like we are married. Let us not feign<br />
the life of what we are not.<br />
More study and a friendly welcome will always await you at the<br />

Cheyenne 50 Years Ago<br />
By Melanie Anspaugh – Andrea<br />
Beth Garver and Bob Mackey were<br />
announced Roger Mills County Hall<br />
of Fame winners at the annual 4-H<br />
Achievement Program. 4-H jackets<br />
were presented to the outstanding<br />
Junior boy and girl. They went to<br />
Jimmy Taylor and Danell Mackey.<br />
John Fred Clay of Crawford<br />
sustained a substantial loss Sunday<br />
morning about 11:30 a.m. when<br />
several thousand bales of hay that<br />
were stacked outside burned. The<br />
wind was high, but due to the help<br />
of his neighbors, and the Cheyenne<br />
Fire Department, the barn and other<br />
improvements that were adjacent<br />
were saved. Mr. & Mrs. Clay were<br />
not at home at the time. They were<br />
in Oklahoma City with their daughter,<br />
Judy, who is receiving medical<br />
treatment.<br />
Former Governor Henry Bellmon<br />
arrived in Cheyenne Thursday<br />
to visit with old acquaintances and<br />
renew friendships with the people<br />
of Roger Mills County.<br />
Cheyenne Cash Day winners<br />
were Inez Townsley, Jimmy Dean<br />
McCaskill, Myrle Thompson and<br />
Dale Hiatt.<br />
A reception was held in the<br />
home of Mr. & Mrs. Levi Fowler,<br />
Sweetwater, Oklahoma on Sunday<br />
to celebrate their Fiftieth Wedding<br />
Anniversary. Over 200 signed the<br />
register, brought gifts and payed<br />
their respects to the couple.<br />
Leon Cooprider of Mayfield,<br />
Oklahoma won a trophy at the National<br />
Duroc meeting held in Ceorio,<br />
Illinois. The trophy was given to the<br />
winner of the fair winners from all<br />
over the nation. The accumulation<br />
of points is from the pigs sired by<br />
one boar. This is the first time in<br />
history that the trophy was won<br />
by an Oklahoman. Leon is the son<br />
of Mr. & Mrs. Dave Cooprider of<br />
Grimes, Oklahoma.<br />
Mrs. John C. Casady is receiving<br />
therapy treatments at the Baptist<br />
Memorial Hospital in Oklahoma<br />
City. She writes the following: “I’ll<br />
probably be home about the 15th<br />
improved, but probably not walking<br />
entirely alone. There are several<br />
patients here from out there – Jodie<br />
Moad who is having surgery this<br />
morning; Mart Peterson, who had<br />
emergency surgery Friday afternoon;<br />
Judy Clay and Mrs. Paul Allen.<br />
Virginia Foster and Velma Walker,<br />
who is a daughter of the Powers in<br />
Cheyenne, and a person who was a<br />
Mooney from Hammon are among<br />
the employees.<br />

OSDH Encourages Preparedness for Winter Weather<br />
As cooler temperatures make<br />
their way into the state, the Oklahoma<br />
State Department of Health<br />
(OSDH) encourages the public to<br />
begin preparation for the upcoming<br />
winter weather season. Proper planning<br />
can reduce the risk of injury<br />
and illness while also ensuring a<br />
family is prepared for a major winter<br />
weather event.<br />
Cold outdoor temperatures require<br />
residents to monitor not only<br />
their home temperature, but their<br />
body temperature as well. Reports<br />
from the Centers for Disease Control<br />
and Prevention (CDC) advises<br />
infants less than 1 year of age should<br />
never sleep in a cold room because<br />
infants lose body heat more easily<br />
than adults. In a sleeping area, babies<br />
should not be wrapped in blankets,<br />
but rather dressed in warmer<br />
clothing such as footed pajamas.<br />
Also, a baby’s face and head should<br />
not be covered while sleeping. It<br />
is important not to over bundle a<br />
baby, because overheating can be<br />
dangerous as well.<br />
Parents and caregivers should<br />
watch for signs of overheating,<br />
such as sweating or the baby’s<br />
chest feeling hot to the touch. If<br />
a comfortable indoor temperature<br />
cannot be maintained, temporary<br />
arrangements should be made to<br />
stay elsewhere.<br />
It is also important for adults age<br />
65 and older to remain in a warm<br />
environment as they often make less<br />
body heat because of a slower metabolism<br />
and less physical activity.<br />
Scott Sproat, director of the<br />
OSDH Emergency Preparedness<br />
and Response Service, said it’s important<br />
to use caution when heating<br />
a home with a fireplace, space heater<br />
or wood stove, using them only<br />
when they are properly vented.<br />
“You can protect yourself from<br />
carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning<br />
by installing a battery-operated CO<br />
detector,” said Sproat. “Never use<br />
generators, grills, camp stoves, or<br />
similar devices inside the house,<br />
in basements, in garages, or near<br />
windows. It’s also important to have<br />
chimneys cleaned and inspected<br />
each year.”<br />
Other tips to prepare for winter<br />
weather include:<br />
• Wear multiple layers of<br />
clothing to stay warm, as well as a<br />
hat, scarf, mittens, a water-resistant<br />
jacket and boots. Make sure you stay<br />
as dry as possible, as water against<br />
the skin from wet clothing can chill<br />
the body quickly.<br />
• Be prepared if basic services<br />
such as water, gas, electricity<br />
or telephones are cut off for an<br />
extended period of time. Those<br />
who depend on electricity to operate<br />
medical equipment should have<br />
alternate arrangements.<br />
• Vehicles should be winterized<br />
before winter storm season.<br />
Check the tread on all tires and<br />
make sure they are not too worn<br />
to risk losing traction on the road.<br />
Keep the gas tank full for emergency<br />
use and to keep the fuel line from<br />
freezing.<br />
• Carry extra clothing, blankets<br />
and high energy snacks, such as<br />
trail mix or protein bars in your car<br />
for protection if the car stalls.<br />
• Bring pets/companion<br />
animals inside during winter weather.<br />
Move other animals or livestock<br />
to sheltered areas with non-frozen<br />
drinking water.<br />
• Stay informed. Know<br />
what National Weather Service winter<br />
storm and blizzard watches and<br />
warnings mean. Learn more about<br />
weather advisories at www.nws.noaa.<br />
gov.<br />

“The Journey to a New, Healthier You”<br />
Food<br />
Packing<br />
Party<br />
Planned by<br />
SWOSU<br />
Student<br />
Organization<br />
The Baptist Collegiate Ministry<br />
(BCM), a faith-based student organization<br />
at Southwestern Oklahoma<br />
State University, is hosting a food<br />
packing party this Monday, December<br />
11, in Weatherford.<br />
The BCM is invited area residents<br />
to help package and seal 20,000<br />
meals that can be distributed as<br />
needed to help fight hunger and<br />
food insecurity in western Oklahoma.<br />
The packing party is at 7 p.m.<br />
at the BCM Building, located at<br />
the southeast edge of the SWOSU<br />
campus.<br />
“Recently, at a Leadership Weatherford<br />
event, SWOSU Vice President<br />
of Student Affairs Dr. Ruth<br />
Boyd said food insecurity is a current<br />
trend that SWOSU Student Services<br />
is seeing,” said Scott Hume, director<br />
of the BCM. “An increasing number<br />
of college students are able to pay<br />
their tuition, rental and utilities,<br />
but are not able to find consistent,<br />
healthy eating options.”<br />
Hume said this was alarming<br />
to the BCM and the student organization<br />
wants to assist not only<br />
SWOSU students but also this area<br />
of the state.<br />
The meals will then be distributed<br />
to the Weatherford Ministerial<br />
Alliance, Weatherford Food and<br />
Resource Center and SWOSU.<br />
For additional information about<br />
the upcoming packing party, contact<br />
Hume at 580-302-3575.

Cheyenne Speech Students Compete at Arnett<br />
In the first qualifying speech<br />
contest of the season for the Cheyenne<br />
speech students, they came<br />
away with huge successes. Saturday,<br />
Mrs. Watson, Cheyenne Speech and<br />
Drama Director, took five students<br />
to Arnett to compete in a Class 3A<br />
qualifying speech contest. Among<br />
the students were, Halie Sanderford,<br />
Taylor Choate, Ashley Tracy, Callee<br />
Lester and Hailey Ramos.<br />
Hailey Ramos competed in the<br />
novice division, which is for junior<br />
high students. In the novice division<br />
the students do not advance to Regionals<br />
but are able to medal. This<br />
was Hailey’s first contest and she<br />
placed third with her monologue.<br />
A monologue is a six minute speech<br />
that is part comedy and part drama.<br />
Hailey did a great job and is looking<br />
forward to competing in the next<br />
contest.<br />
Taylor Choate competed in three<br />
different events, which included:<br />
monologue, humorous duet, and<br />
humorous interpretation. Halie<br />
Sanderford placed third and qualified<br />
to compete at Regionals with<br />
her poetry piece. Ashley Tracy, first<br />
time participant, placed second and<br />
qualified to compete at Regionals<br />
with her dramatic interpretation.<br />
Callee Lester placed first and qualified<br />
to compete at Regionals with<br />
her dramatic interpretation.<br />
All five of these girls worked<br />
hard and are continuously preparing<br />
their speeches for the next speech<br />
contest. Mrs. Watson could not be<br />
more proud of these girls and their<br />
hard work and dedication.<br />
Student of the Month:<br />
Caden Blume<br />
L-R: Callee Lester, Ashley Tracy, Hailey Ramos, Taylor Choate & Halie Sanderford<br />
Caden Blume is student of the<br />
month for November. He has lived<br />
in Cheyenne seven years. Caden’s<br />
parents are Jay and Jennifer Blume.<br />
He has one brother Colton and one<br />
sister Cortney.<br />
Caden is involved in band, academics<br />
and art club. Caden’s hobbies<br />
include reading and computer<br />
programing. His favorite class is<br />
band because the act of coming<br />
together to make music is wonderful.<br />
Caden’s favorite restaurant<br />
is Kentucky Fried Chicken. After<br />
graduation Kaden plans on attending<br />
SWOSU to get a computer<br />
science degree.<br />
Mrs. Moore, the high school<br />
principal, presented Caden with the<br />
following gifts from local merchants<br />
as a part of the “Student of the<br />
Month” award: a free dinner from<br />
Las Casuelas, Zoe’s and Becky’s<br />
Place, a free 32 oz drink from Johnny<br />
Mc’s and a gift certificate from<br />
Cheyenne Floral. The Cheyenne<br />
High School students, administration,<br />
staff, and faculty congratulate<br />
Caden for receiving this honor.<br />
Lady Bears Fall to the<br />

Score 1 2 3 4 Final<br />
Cheyenne/Reydon 13 10 7 16 46<br />
Hammon 16 7 15 14 52<br />
The Lady Bears lost a tough one to the Lady Warriors 52-46. Hammon<br />
jumped to an early 16-8 lead but then the Lady Bears went on a 15-0 run to<br />
take a 23-18 lead with 3 minutes left in the half. However, the Lady Bears<br />
were unable to score after this and Hammon tied the score going into the<br />
break. The drought continued in the third for the Lady Bears and Hammon<br />
opened up a 38-28 lead going into the 4th quarter. The Lady Bears battled<br />
back and cut it to 41-40 with three minutes left but missed a couple open<br />
looks to take the lead and were forced to foul. Trailing 45-40 Amber Smith<br />
hit a trey with 1:27 left and the Lady Bears called a time out and set up the<br />
press. Catelyn Brewster got a steal and the Lady Bears had the ball with a<br />
chance to tie or take the lead but an ill timed turnover allowed Hammon<br />
to get a run out layup and open the lead back up. They held on for a 52-46<br />
win. Amber Smith and Catelyn Brewster led the way with <strong>12</strong> points each<br />
while Alie Parkhurst pulled down 7 rebounds and did an outstanding job<br />
on Hammon’s big post girl. Jaci Scott and Haley Whiteneck played well<br />
off the bench for the Lady Bears. Morgan Miller had 21 for the visitors.<br />
Scoring: Catelyn Brewster-<strong>12</strong>, Amber Smith-<strong>12</strong>, Jasmine Boyett-9, Alie<br />
Parkhurst-7, Jacie Scott-6.<br />
Coaches Comments: We played hard and did a lot of things right but<br />
did a poor job after the first quarter on limiting Miller’s drives to the basket.<br />
They outshot us 21-0 on the free throw line the second half which<br />
was the difference in the game. Jasmine picked up her 3rd and 4th foul<br />
midway through the third quarter and had to sit and they opened up a lead<br />
heading into the 4th which we worked hard to overcome. We had our<br />
chances down the stretch but failed to execute. We have to learn from our<br />
mistakes and keep getting better. We had 10 bad defensive possessions<br />
and our goal is zero.<br />

The Lady Bears ended their 3-game losing streak with a 52-30 win over<br />
the Lady Indians. They started slow but got on track in the second quarter<br />
and opened up a 25-8 half time lead. Faith Bryan hit all 6 of her points in<br />
the first half to key the attack. Arapaho made a run in the third quarter<br />
and cut the lead to 29-21 before the Lady Bears once again caught fire aided<br />
by several turnovers and cruised to a 22-point victory. Amber Smith hit a<br />
trey in every quarter as she scored a season high 14 points to lead the way.<br />
Alie Parkhurst hit for <strong>12</strong> while Haley Whiteneck and Jasmine Boyett each<br />
had 3 steals. Catelyn Brewster had 4 assists.<br />
Coaches Comments: We played much more aggressive and our bench<br />
play was very strong as Jaci, Faith and Haley all played well. Alie posted<br />
hard and we made a concerted effort to get the ball inside and were able<br />
to make the defense collapse which opened up opportunities. It was a<br />
much-needed win.<br />
Bears Suffer First Loss;<br />
Win First Game of<br />
5-County Tournament<br />
The Cheyenne/Reydon Bears suffered their first lost to the Hammon<br />
Warriors last Tuesday night in a tough fought battle. The Warriors won<br />
51-49 despite great efforts from Hunter Roark who finished with 14 and<br />
Hunter Whiteneck who finished with 13. The Bears went 7/18 from the<br />
free-throw line, going just 3/13 in the fourth quarter.<br />
The Bears bounced back with a win over the Sayre Eagles Friday night<br />
in a very physical match-up. The Bears won the game with great shooting<br />
from senior swing man Zane Kinnaman who had four 3's and finished with<br />
16 points. Sophomore point guard Hunter Whiteneck also had 16 points<br />
and Senior point forward Hunter Roark had 15 points.<br />
Monday night was the first round of the 5-County Tournament where the<br />
#13 ranked Bears earned a #2 seed matching up with the Sentinel Bulldogs.<br />
The Bears looked a little under the weather the first half but managed to<br />
put the Bulldogs away winning the contest 44-26. The Bears were lead in<br />
the scoring column by Sophomore Hunter Whiteneck who had 18 points<br />
and Senior Hunter Roark who put in 13 points. The Cheyenne/Reydon<br />
Bears will face the #7 ranked Arapaho/Butler Indians Thursday evening<br />
@ 5:20 in the Semi-finals of the 5-County Tournament.<br />
