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 />

Following the meal Denise introduced<br />

the entertainment for the<br />

evening, “I am pleased to introduce<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Donnie York<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 />

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 />

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 />
