Kansas Sampler
Festival will
be no more
The Kansas Sampler Foundation has announced that the longtime
Kansas Sampler Festival will end after 2017.
Community leaders from Sedan
have attended and participated in
this event for a number of years.
The festival began in 1990 at the
farm of the late Mil Penner and his
daughter, Marci, near Inman. It included booths for about 30 places included in the newly published Kansas
Weekend Guide.
Since then, it has grown to include
representatives from more than 150
Kansas communities who share with
festivalgoers things to see, do, hear,
taste, buy and learn across the state,
according to a news release.
Marci Penner, director of the
Kansas Sampler Foundation, said in
a statement the festival has helped
people see the state has much to offer, and the foundation now hopes to
progress toward other activities.
Since 1998, host communities
have been selected for the festival.
In 2016 and 2017, the festival will be
hosted by the city of Winfield.
Penner and assistant director
WenDee LaPlant recently visited Elk
and Chautauqua counties on a statewide tour.
Christmas
greeting edition
coming next week
Next week’s Prairie Star will carry lots of “greeting ads” from businesses, organizations and individuals who simply want ot say “Merry
Christmas.”
This longtime tradition of this
newspaper is a convenient way for
advertisers to give a holiday greeting
to their customers and friends and
not miss anyone.
So, watch for next week’s edition
which will be printed and distributed
on the Prairie Star’s usual schedule.

E-EDITION
Working cowboy honored for ‘rodeo wreck’
By Frank J. Buchman
Truly, he’s the unsung hero of
ranch rodeo.
Temperatures were hovering at
32 degrees with bawling cows standing in three inches of recent rain, now
with a thin layer of ice on top, as the
“real champion” reflected about the
biggest “headline story” that hasn’t
made the newspapers until now.
The 900 momma cows Bruce
Beeman cares for on the ranch near
Grenola in Elk County were begging
for winter dinner from the Hard Luck
Cowboy award winner at this year’s
World Championship Ranch Rodeo in
Amarillo, Texas.
“I don’t really think it’s much of
anything to be all that proud about.
But, I guess they gave the title to me,
because I landed so hard when I got
off, after making the whistle on my
ranch bronc in the first go-around of
the rodeo,” explained Beeman, about
tokens presented at the conclusion of
the four-day Working Ranch Cowboys
Association yea-end finals.
“The wreck must have looked
worse than it really was. I was out of
shape, landed wrong, lit on my wrist,
and knocked some ribs out of place.
I was able to pop them back in, and
get on my second bronc, and get him
ridden,” the tough cowboy humbly
detailed.
“If my crash landing getting off
that bronc was the worst thing that
happened, fortunately nobody else
got hurt much at the rodeo this year,”
Beeman conjured.
While Beeman modestly, yet
gratefully accepted those rodeo accolades and certain fellow cowboys’
sympathetic nods, the real accomplishment of the all-around cowboybronc rider went unacknowledged.
Riding with “the Hall boys” for 13
consecutive years at the prestigious
ranch rodeo finals, Beeman has made
26 consecutive qualified rides in the
ranch bronc riding.
Unofficially, actually it is official,
Bruce Beeman of the Broken H Ranch
and H Cross Cattle team from Bourbon County is the Champion Bronc
Rider in the 13-year average of the
World Championship Ranch Rodeo.
“Oh, I’ve just been lucky,” the humility shows again, as Beeman looked
back over his admirable, and most
enviable world ranch bronc riding
career, unmatched in that championship arena.
“I’ve been fortunate to draw
right, the kind that could be ridden,
and add points to our team score,”
Beeman again downplayed achievement.
The 74-points Beeman marked
on his first bronc this year, a high
jumping, kicking blue roan, topped
that evening’s performance scores.
Then, Beeman’s 70-points bronc ride
ranked ninth in the second performance of the second go-round.
“I’ve never won the bronc riding
event at the ranch rodeo finals, but
I’ve placed in the top end several different years,” the cowboy remembered.
And, he admitted, “Just because
I’ve made qualified rides on 26 finals broncs doesn’t mean I can’t get
bucked off. I don’t like to keep track
of that, but there have been some rodeos that I didn’t make the whistle. I
try to forget those, and make sure I
ride the next one.”
Don’t get the idea Beeman is “just
a bronc rider.” He’s an all-around
cowboy as verified by his team’s
standings in the event averages at the
recent World Championship Ranch
Rodeo.
With working ranch cowboys

of 77 points, in the second go-round of the 2013 rodeo at Amarillo.

joining Beeman, the Broken H Ranch
& H Cross Cattle team concluded the
rodeo averages fifth in the wild cow
milking event, and ninth in the team
penning event.
“Our team has never won the
world finals rodeo, but we’ve been
second twice, I really can’t remember all of our placings, usually up
there pretty good. We’ll win it next
time, or for sure the one after that,”
Beeman predicted.
Further proof of Beeman’s true
cowboy versatility, he was honored
as the Top Hand at the World Championship Ranch Rodeo in 2005. “That
was a pretty big deal for me, my family and the team,” Beeman appreciatively conceded.
However, regardless of how good
any cowboy is, that old adage: “There
never was a horse that couldn’t be
rode, nor a cowboy that couldn’t be
thrown,” generally comes to haunt
one at some point.

Sedan celebrates with traditional parade
Despite the unseasonably spring-like weather, Santa and Mrs. Claus made their arrival in Sedan last weekend, visiting
kids and area residents after the downtown Christmas parade. Several businesses were also open for the day. The winner of this week’s Sedan Bucks from the Sedan Area Chamber of Commerce was Millie Spires who won $100 on her entry
at Floyd’s Market. See story on Page 2 of today’s Prairie Star with all the details.

with the drums, music, and flag girls adding color and spirit; thanks to director Rosie
Sweaney.

Are the holidays - particularly Christmas - a struggle
for you? Do brightly wrapped
packages, Christmas trees,
holiday parties, holly and the
scent of pine, unending upbeat
carols in shops and malls and
holiday food everywhere bring
pain rather than joy to your
life? You aren’t alone. This
time of year is a challenge and
beyond for many people in our
communities.
If this describes you, your
family or friends, you are invited to attend Blue Christmas
at Sedan United Methodist
Church on Tuesday, Dec. 22, at
7 p.m.
During the service, familiar
songs will be sung, comforting things will be read, candles representing our sorrows
and our hopes will be lit and
prayers will be offered. Hosted by Sedan United Methodist
Church and Dickens Funeral
Ask Jack
Home, the service is for persons of all faiths and all beliefs.
People find the holiday season stressful for many reasons:
the loss of a loved one recently
or years ago; job loss; financial
setbacks; divorce or separation; health issues; spending
the holidays away from family
and friends.
Whatever your struggle,
you’re encouraged to attend
the Blue Christmas service.
“I’ve offered these services
for many years in part because the holidays have been a
struggle for me, too. The Blue
Christmas service can help
us to recognize our hurts, to
reach out to others in sorrow
and perhaps kindle a bit of
hope,” said Pastor Cathy of Sedan UMC.

If you haven’t yet visited
with your financial advisor,
you are just about to run out
of time to make any significant
decisions regarding your 2015
taxes. If you’re like most people, taxes aren’t something to
be thought about until it’s time
to file the tax return, however,
by then it’s too late to do anything except to pay what you
owe.
The time to make decisions that will impact “what
you owe” is before Dec. 31.
Of course there are still a few
things, such as funding an IRA,
that you can delay until April
15 but for the most part, the
end of the year is the deadline.
Personally, while it’s something
that should have my attention
all year long, I tend to not give
it much thought until about
October. I usually mark my
calendar to have a short meeting with my accountant in the
fourth quarter, then, I still have
time to take advantage of some
strategies that will save me tax
dollars later.
I have many clients who
are careful how they spend
their money, and they sometimes question whether they
should spend money to consult
with their accountant. However, I can tell you from experience that those same people
have saved themselves thousands of dollars in taxes based
on the advice from a two hundred dollar consultation. It’s
typically money well spent.
You still have time to prepay for items you need, or to
buy a vehicle or equipment for
your business, but it’s always
best to know for sure how it
will impact your taxes before
making that decision.

Sedan Business Women gather for
annual Christmas party
Everyone was in a Christmas spirit as the Sedan Business Women met at the Sedan
Senior Center for their annual
party. The tables had been
decorated by the senior citizens with additional touches
added by the hostesses Beverly
Aiken and Sue Kill. The smell
of hot spiced cider added to the
setting.
President Ellen Rushing
called the meeting to order
followed with the pledge and
reading the Club Collect. Secretary Sue Kill called roll with
the following members answering by telling their favorite
Christmas song: Hazel Spire,
Vera Miller, Joyce Julian, Reta
Pipher, Mariellen Appleby, Ellen Rushing, Nona Ross, Beverly Aiken and Sue Kill. Melodee
Wolfe made a brief appearance
and gave members a sprig of
mistletoe tied with a red ribbon.
After the minutes were
read and approved and the
treasury report accepted, Corresponding Secretary Nona
Ross read a thank you from the
Emmett Kelly Museum for our
monetary donation in memory
of long time SBW member Ruth
Sturges. Ruth had been a member of Business and Professional Women/Sedan Business
Women for almost 60-years
and was our Grand Matriarch.
Ellen reported on the Sedan
Christmas Parade and told
about the float which represented the Sedan Library and
Sedan Business Women. This
float won third prize.
Members brought cookies
for refreshments and our cookie exchange which were served
along with hot spiced cider and
coffee. While everyone was enjoying the tasty treats Beverly
led in a game called Test Your
Musical Memory of Songs of
the Season followed by reading
of “The True Story of Rudolph
the Red Nosed Reindeer.” She
then tested their memory again
by asking questions about How
Well Do You Know Santa’s
Hoofed Helpers?”
A white elephant gift exchange was enjoyed with everyone receiving nice gifts. A
comment was made that no
one had actually received a
white elephant. Hum, maybe next year! Members filled
a plate with an assortment of
cookies to take home and enjoy.
The Jan. 11 meeting will be
at the Green Door with Melodee Wolfe as hostess.

Touching Mrs. Mosler’s tree
made it glow for all to ‘see’
When I was a kid at Altamont, there was a distant
neighbor who was rather
wealthy — at least we all
thought so.
She was totally blind
and her husband was legally
blind but still drove from his
house to his downtown store
each day.
I delivered milk and eggs
to her house once a week,
and I would watch from a
block away where we lived to
make sure her kitchen light
was on. Then I’d trudge off to
make the delivery and collect
my 25 cents.
I would knock on the
back door and Mrs. Mosler
would open it, asking me to
come inside where I would
place her milk and eggs in
the refrigerator. She usually invited me into the living
room to show me something
she had made, or introduced
me to guests.
But it was fun to watch
the Mosler home from afar,
because even though she was
blind, the lights appeared to
go on and off on a rotating
routine.
Electricians planned it
that way when the house was
built, even back in the early
1950s. Electric-eye switches made sure Mrs. Mosler
walked into a lighted room
as she moved about the spacious house. I always found
it fascinating that she would

Welcome to wintry weather. Cold and damp outside

We finally got the outside

inside decorations are a different story. They always take
longer at our house. It involves
moving furniture, rearranging
electric cords and figuring out
ways to hang things without
damaging the walls.

Moline Shining Star 4-H Club prepares
for the holiday season with fun activities
Rodeo cousins honored at Copan banquet
A gaggle of cousins who are active in the junior rodeo circuit were honored last Saturday night at the
Copan Family Rodeo Association banquet. Seven cousins of the Hartness family were recognized with
buckles and saddles for their efforts in the 2015 season. They include (left to right) Trent Crawford,
Presley Davis, Piper Davis, Olivia Bracken (squatting), Rance Gorby, Jewel Crawford and Fallon Bracken.
Fallon, Olivia, Piper and Ranch attend Lincoln Memorial Elementary School in Caney while Trent and
Jewel attend Sedan Elementary School. Olivia, age 4, came home with a finalist buckle. The rodeo sport
has been a tradition in the family, and this set of cousins is looking forward to the start of the 2016
season next April. (Photo by Chelsea Bracken)
Elk Falls News
Over here in Elk Falls our
little Stone Soup tradition continues with good attendance.
Last week we had three kinds of
soup in addition to everything
else. Jane Fry brought vegetable beef, I brought taco soup
and Pat Cunningham brought
one of his interesting and tasty
concoctions. Thursday noon at
the Elk Falls Senior Center is
the location; bring your appetite and a smile and join us.
I called and had a nice visit with Margery Cunningham
where she is staying with her
son Michael in Tulsa. She continues to walk a mile a day,
even though she said during
this wet few days they had a
little snow. She also has gotten
new glasses and a new haircut.
We may not be able to recognize her when she comes home
in the spring.
John Collins and Everett
Van Dorn took a road trip to
New Mexico and returned with
a trailer load of agate. John is
very pleased with the quality of
the stone.
On Saturday previous long
time resident Ed Hiebert came
to Elk Falls bringing with him
his 91-year-old mother. His
mother continues to maintain
her own home in Hillsboro.
Beki Eck prepared a welcome
lunch for Ed and it was served
at the home of Boyd and Kay
Koehn.
This weekend Beki Eck
attended the Christmas party held by her friend Karen
Rankin at her home at Havana
Lake.
Boyd and Kay Koehn attended the EMS Christmas par-

ty hosted by Ken Mitchell.
Jim and Sherry Tuggle
traveled to Goddard to see
their twin grandsons perform
in their Winter Concert. Both
grandsons had a solo performance.
I had a gathering of shining
faces at my door this weekend.
Zach and Laura Fry, their children Nethra and Rubin and
their houseguest from Brazil,
Mariana Zucchi, had a big basket of Christmas cookies and
Christmas greetings. On that
warm evening they were walking around town and sharing
cookies and good cheer. Small
town America is a place where
you can still safely do that.
Stop by and share the Elk
Falls experience with us, you
are always welcome.
Grafton Community Meeting
By Katie Walton
The monthly meeting of the
Grafton Community was held
on Saturday, Dec. 12, at the
schoolhouse. The schoolhouse
had been beautifully decorated
with the Christmas theme by
Charlene Sturges and Don and
Lorene Selter.
President
Dixie
Selter called the meeting to order by ringing her little school
bell. Business was attended to
and Dixie lead the group in the
Pledge of Allegiance. Mitchell
Foster lead the prayer.
Great food was enjoyed by
everyone as well as great conversation.
After the meal, Sharon
Payne read from the school
bible that has remained there
since 1927. She read from St.
Luke Chapter 2 ,verses 1-14.
The birth of Christ.
Following the reading, the
gift exchange was conducted
by Dixie. Everyone had brought
a for either a man or woman.
With the help of her two elves,
Logan Lukins and Austin Patterson, the gifts were delivered
to everyone. It was a fabulous
evening enjoyed by all those at-
Howard Happenings
I am thankful that the snow
man didn’t roll this far east in
Kansas. Sherri and Curt sent
me pictures yesterday evening,
taken through the windshield
of their pickup. They had a lot
of wet snow, high winds and
power outage. My preference
would be none of the above. I
had a text message from her at
11:30 this morning, and power was out again at that time.
My apartment is all electric,
except for my hot water heater.
If we have an outage, I guess I
could go in the furnace room,
take a chair and a flash light
and “wait it out.” A little heat
is better than none at all, and I
have a gas grill, so actually the
odds are in my favor!
There was an account on
the news about a woman being arrested for hitting her
domestic partner with a ball
bat over a disagreement about
their Christmas lights. I had to
laugh...Fred and I had a few
“discussions” about our Christmas lights, but we didn’t get
out the ball bat. Some things
just take on a new persona
than others, I guess.
While it was raining yesterday, Mr. Frisky was taking advantage of the soft ground and
was digging up his stash that
he had saved “for a rainy day.”
He was sitting up straight and
tall and munching away. It
made sense to me...I feel the
same way about cookies or
candy in the jars on the counter. Sometimes it doesn’t make
any sense to save them.
Rochelle and Derek Cookson had one of the “fun-est”
pre-Christmas parties last Saturday night. How blessed am I
that I still get invited, and also
blessed that I am able to go.
There was good friends, good
tending.
Our next met be on Saturday, Jan. 9, at 6:30 p.m. It will
be our annual Pancake and
Eblskiver supper.
Those attending the December meeting were Don and
Lorene Selter, Sharon Payne,
Charlene Sturges, Dixie Selter,
Logan Lukins, Austin Patterson, Nancy and Chris Patterson, Dale and Katie Walton,
Ruth and Jim Lane, Sally Sturges, Kathy and Mike Chamberlin, and Alma and Mitchell Foster. See you in January.

food and lots and lots of laughter!
I was the recipient of a love
gift from my ex-son-in-law,
Mark Cookson. He gave me a
bag of fresh caught crappie fillets. It doesn’t get much better
than that! He is still near and
dear to my heart.
Tonight is the grade school
children’s Christmas program
and tomorrow night the Jr.
High and High School students
will have theirs. I so enjoy going to these events.
I have some more Christmas gifts to wrap, so I better
get at it before I talk myself
into doing something else.
Remember those that are
not as fortunate as you -- and
thank our Maker for all the
blessings that are bestowed
upon us.
Have a happy week.

Lady Blue Devils continue
reign at Wildcat Winter Classic
By BRIAN THOMAS
[email protected]
YATES CENTER — For a
second straight year, the Sedan
High School girls’ basketball
team is champion of the Wildcat Winter Classic.
The Lady Devils capped
off their run on Friday with an
impressive 58-42 victory over
Lebo in the title game of the
tournament.
“It was a great tournament
for our girls,” said SHS coach
Lance Jeffers. “This team is
seeking its own identity. There
is a lot of talent on this team
that hasn’t gotten the exposure
yet. They’ve been waiting for
their time to show it, and they
are getting their chance.”
Not only did the Sedan girls
improve to 4-0 overall with
the win, but they also landed a
spot in this week’s Kansas Basketball Coaches Association
rankings. The Lady Devils are
currently ranked No. 7 in Class
2A by the KBCA heading into
Friday’s home opener against
Cedar Vale/Dexter. That will be
the final contest before the holiday break.
“It was good for us to come
out and compete and play hard
the night after we had a tough
game with Cherryvale,” Jeffers said. “We play really well
in spurts. Then we go through
another phase where we get
lackadaisical. Going forward,
we are gonna have to cut down
turnovers and get better at
knocking down free throws.”
Sedan used its defense to
take control from the start. The
Lady Devils grabbed a 17-5
lead in the first quarter and
maintained that double-digit
edge at 30-18 heading into the
intermission. Although Lebo
would not go away just after
the break, SHS finally delivered the knockout punch in the
fourth quarter with a 16-11
spurt.
Haley Williams led Sedan
with 12 points, while Jessica Roggow and Braylee Unruh had 11 each. Roggow and
Unruh were named to the
All-Tournament Team.
Sedan also had five individuals land on the All-Academic
Team in the tournament, including Unruh, Haley Williams,
Alexis Williams, Grace Davis
and Alyson Hurt.

YATES CENTER — It was
another close battle between
Sedan and Cherryvale in the
semifinals of the Wildcat Winter Classic. The Lady Devils got
the upperhand for a second
straight year.
Unruh’s layup in the final
minute gave SHS the lead for
good as it locked up a spot in
the title game with a 44-41 victory over the Lady Chargers.
“It seems like every year
we play each other in the
semifinals or finals … and the
winner of it ends up winning
the tournament,” Jeffers said.
“Until the last two years, despite us having great teams, we
couldn’t get past them. After
three years of Cherryvale stopping us from winning the tournament, it was nice to knock
them off the last two years. It
was a game that was plagued
by fouls and poor foul shooting.”
Sedan seemed to have control much of the contest, leading 13-11 after one quarter,
22-18 at the intermission and
36-26 at the end of three quarters.
Cherryvale would not go
away, though. Lady Charger Beth Hawkins nailed a
three-pointer with less than
30 seconds to even the score
at 41-all. Just moments later,
Sedan broke the press, and
Hurt found Unruh for a layup
to regain the lead. Cherryvale
missed a bucket on the oth-
er end, and the Lady Devils
grabbed the board. Roggow
added a free throw to seal the
three-point win.
Unruh had 15 points to lead
the way for Sedan, followed by
Haley Williams with 10.

CYGNES VALLEY 35
YATES CENTER — The
tougest game in the tournament for the Sedan girls came
in their opener as they had to
escape with a 37-35 victory
over Marais des Cygnes Valley.
“We got in foul trouble,
and we didn’t adjust to the
way they were calling fouls,”
Jeffers said. “We kept fouling.
We played more zone in this
game than we had played in
three years. It’s just something
we haven’t done in the past. As
the game wore on, we just got
tighter and were playing not to
lose.”
The game came down to
the wire despite the Lady Devils leading by double digits at
the intermission at 22-11.
The second half was a
struggle as MDCV narrowed
the gap to five at 28-23 at the
end of three quarter and continued to whittle the difference
in the final game. Fortunately,
Sedan was able to hold on to
preserve the victory.
Leading the way for the
Lady Devils was Unruh with 17
points, while Roggow put in 10.

MORAN — A 5-of-24 performance at the charity stripe
doomed the West Elk High
School girls’ basketball team
on Friday as it suffered a 33-29
overtime loss to host Marmaton Valley in final-day action of
the Marmaton Valley Preseason Tournament.
“The girls played hard,”
said Lady Patriot coach Marty
Koop. “We struggled at the free
throw line. We will keep working and getting better each
game.”
WEHS went 0-3 in the
three-day tournament to drop
to 1-3 overall on the season.
The Lady Patriots will close
out the first semester of action
on Friday when they entertain Central of Burden in their
home opener.
West Elk found itself in an
early hole in the tournament finale against Marmaton Valley.
The Lady Patriots trailed 13-6
after one quarter and 20-15 at
the intermission. Yet, WEHS
whittled away at the margin,
narrowing the gap to 23-21 at
the end of three quarters.
The visitors eventually
knotted things up at 27-all at
the end of regulation, but they
could not get over the hump
in the extra frame as they
dropped their third straight
decision.
Brooklyn Hilton was the
lone double-figure scorer for
West Elk as she finished with
11 points.
As for Marmaton Valley (22), MacKenzie Tynon led the

loss to Olpe at the Marmaton

Olpe went into the contest

Patriot JH girls overtake CV/Dexter teams
DEXTER — Coming off
its first loss of the season, the
West Elk Junior High girls’
basketball team bounced back
to capture a 24-21 road win at
Cedar Vale/Dexter last Thursday.
WEJH swept the evening’s
action as it also captured a
16-6 win over CVD in the junior
varsity contest.
“I was very proud of both
teams,” said coach Chris Haag.
“The girls played hard and executed at crucial times in both
contests.”
In the varsity game, the
Patriots trailed 8-4 after one
quarter and 10-7 at the intermission. The second half was a
much different story as WEJH
pulled within one, 14-13, after
three quarters before taking
control in the final quarter by
outscoring the Spartans 11-7.
Madelyne Koop was the
top scorer for West Elk with
10 points. The WEJH varsity
squad improved to 3-1 on the
season.
Up next for West Elk will be
a home matchup against South
Haven on Thursday.

Junior high Lady Blue Devils finding
rhythm as the season continues
After that, the team was
host to its own tournament on
Nov. 21 with Edna, Cedar Vale/
Dexter and Oxford.
Sedan started tourney play
with an 18-11 loss to Edna.
Maddie Signer had five points
to pace the Devils.
“The players hustled and
played good defense,” Williams
said. “We could not get the ball
to drop in the hoop.”
SJH bounced back later in
the day with a 26-7 win over
Oxford.
“The ladies found a better
shooting hand to get their first
win,” Williams said. “They relaxed and just played the game
with hustle.”
Williams had eight points,
including a three-pointer, to
lead the way for Sedan. Phoenix Davis followed with six
points, while Heaven Mayfield
finished with five.
Sedan followed that win
up with back-to-back losses to
Flinthills (21-4) on Nov. 23 and
Caldwell (23-15) on Dec. 3.
Signer had the team’s only
points for SJH against Flinthills.
“Shooting only 16 percent
hurt our players on the scoreboard,” Williams said. “The
ladies are getting better on
defense and rebounding. We
need to improve on the offensive side of the court.”
Sedan had a tough time
shooting again in its game
against
Caldwell.
Mayfield knocked down a late
three-pointer to lead the way
with nine points.
“It is hard to win ball games
when your shooting is lacking,”
Williams said. “We only shot 17
percent and were 0-of-8 from
the free throw line. We had
plenty of opportunities to score
but could not get ball to drop
in the hoop. However, I feel
like our defense and rebounding was pretty good against
Caldwell, who had pretty tall
players. Our posts are getting
quicker at boxing out and rebounding.”

BURDEN — After back-toback losses, the Sedan Junior
High girls’ basketball team
picked up a needed win last
Thursday as it downed Central
of Burden 25-7.
“I tell my players all the
time to have a goal of improving their performance every
practice and every game,”
said SJH girls’ coach Sandi Williams. “We improved
our shooting percentage and
played smarter defense that
helped win the game. I’m hoping the ladies will see that hard
work pays off.”
The Devils, who moved to
2-4 overall, were led by Izzy
Joslin with eight points, followed by Caitlin Williams with
five. Sedan returns to action on
Thursday as it takes on Cedar
Vale/Dexter.
SJH opened the season on
Nov. 19 with a 32-8 loss at West
Elk.
“We had a hard time getting into the flow of the first
game,” Williams said.

Sedan men capture
tournament title
By BRIAN THOMAS
[email protected]
YATES CENTER — Trailing
by three at the intermission,
the Sedan High School boys’
basketball team turned things
up in the second half to capture a 62-51 victory over Lebo
in the championship game of
the Wildcat Winter Classic last
Friday.
With that win, the Blue
Devils not only improved to 4-0
overall on the season, but they
also earned their first tournament title in Yates Center since
2011.
“We once again got ourself in a hole and got into foul
trouble,” said SHS coach Lance
Jeffers. “But we competed and
made plays in the second half.
Right now our team is a work
in progress. Going forward, we
are gonna have to improve on
the defensive end. Offensively,
we have the ability, but being so early in the season, we
struggle to find any rhythm.
That will come once we get
more reps and get comfortable
with each other. The defensive
side is where we need to improve.
“Although winning the
tournament is not one of our
ultimate goals, it’s nice to do
something that hasn’t been
done in a few years. Last time
we won it was 2011, so these
seniors were eighth graders.
We never really talked about
it, but we all knew they weren’t
going to accept anything less
than a championship.”
Sedan entered last week
ranked No. 7 in Class 2A according to the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association. With
three wins and a tournament
title, the Blue Devils moved up
a couple of spots in this week’s
poll to No. 5. They will close
out the pre-holiday portion of
their schedule on Friday when
they entertain Cedar Vale/Dexter in the home opener.
SHS struggled in the first
half of all three tournament
games, trailing in the second
quarter of each of those contests. Yet, the Blue Devils once
again found away to pick up
the win.
Lebo (2-1) led 13-12 after
one quarter and 25-22 at the
intermission of Friday’s championship game. But the Devils
stormed back in the second
half by getting the job done
on both ends of the court. SHS
outscored the Wolves 18-12 in
the third period to take a 40-37
edge. It then pulled away down
the stretch with a 22-14 run in
the final period to close out the
double-digit victory.
Three players scored in
double figures for Sedan, including Alex Perez with a
game-high 21 points. Noah
Chee followed with 18 points,
which included a pair of
three-pointers, while Kiefer
Brewer put in 10. Chee, Perez
and Brewer were each selected
to the All-Tournament Team.
Perez was also named to
the All-Academic Team with
fellow Blue Devil Drew Lampson.

YATES CENTER — Facing
the seventh-ranked team in
Class 1A-Division II, the Blue
Devils had a battle on their
hands before pulling away in
the fourth quarter for a 58-51
victory over Hartford in the
semifinal round of the Wildcat
Winter Classic.
“The game was a battle,” Jeffers said. “They are a
high-quality team. It was good
for us to be in a game like that.
We made free throws down
the stretch, and that’s a sign of
mental toughness.”
Sedan found itself in a 12-6
hole after one quarter of play
before it came back to even the
score at 21-all at halftime. The
Jaguars (1-1) hung tough with
the Blue Devils and regained a
33-31 edge at the end of three
quarters. SHS finally kicked
things into gear in the fourth
quarter, exploding for 27 points
as it rallied for the win.
Chee knocked down two
three-pointers and was 9-of-11
at the free throw line as part
of his game-high 19-point performance. Perez also had two
treys en route to his 15 points,
followed by Kylar Walker with
11 and Brewer 10.

CYGNES VALLEY 52
YATES CENTER — The fi-
nal score definitely didn’t reflect how much of a fight the
Blue Devils had in round one of
the Wildcat Winter Classic. Sedan rallied from an early-double digit deficit and eventually
pulled away in the second half
for a 75-52 win over Marais
des Cygnes Valley.
“We got down 10 early, and
then we just got our offense
going,” Jeffers said. “We didn’t
play very well in the first quarter on either end, but we still
went into halftime up three.
That pretty much sealed the
deal there. We had a good third
quarter and played pretty solid
defense. We got the tempo going a lot faster. The good thing
about these guys is that they
just want to win, so they share
the ball really well. It’s a lot of
fun when nobody cares who
scores and they just go out and
play.”
MDCV shocked Sedan early
as it grabbed a 14-5 lead after one quarter. The Devils got
things going with a 21-9 run in
the second period to grab a 2623 advantage at the intermission.
That provided the spark
SHS needed for the second
half. The Devils carried that
momentum and extended the
lead with a 21-11 spurt in the
third quarter for a 47-34 lead
and rolled from there to the
win.
Perez had a game-high 23
points, including three trifectas. Brewer followed with 14
points, while Chee put in 13.

Miller leads the Patriots to
win over Marmaton Valley
By BRIAN THOMAS
[email protected]
MORAN — Cade Miller
scored 20 points to lift the West
Elk High School boys’ basketball team to a 43-37 victory
over host Marmaton Valley to
salvage the final game of the
Tournament on Friday.
“We started the game really sluggish,” said WEHS
boys’ coach Dave Miller. “We
just couldn’t seem to get stops
and run our offense. We finally grabbed the lead late in the
third quarter and held on for
the win.”
The Patriots, who had
dropped their first two games
of the tournament to Olpe and
Northeast-Arma, found themselves down 12-7 after the first
quarter. Fortunately, West Elk
was able to cut into the margin
and got back within three, 2118, heading into the intermission.
WEHS started to get things
going in the second half. Outscoring the Wildcats 9-5 in the
third quarter, the Patriots were
able to take a 27-26 lead into
the final eight minutes of action. During that fourth period,
West Elk took charge and eventually held on for the six-point
win.
Cade Miller knocked down
nine buckets, including a
three-pointer, en route to his
game-high total. He added five
assists and six steals to lead the
way for the Patriots. William
Silvey also reached double figures in scoring with 10 points.
Meanwhile, John Heinen and
Karsten Walker led WEHS in
rebounding with seven each.
With Friday’s win, West Elk
improved to 2-2 overall on the
season. The Patriots will close
out the first semester on Friday
when they host Central of Burden in their home opener.

MORAN — Trailing by double digits in the first quarter,
the Patriots could never recover in a 60-40 loss to Northeast-Arma on Thursday at the
Tournament.
“We fell behind early 14-2
but pulled back within six at
26-20,” Miller said. “It was
downhill after that. We just
couldn’t stop their offense.”
WEHS trailed 14-6 after
one quarter and 32-20 by halftime. Things didn’t get any better in the second half as the Patriots trailed 50-27 at the end
of three periods.
Josh Johnson knocked
down a pair of three-pointers as part of a team-high 14
points for the Patriots.
Northeast-Arma (3-0) was

points, while Ethan Snider put

MORAN — Despite playing a solid game on defense,
the Patriots could not muster
up enough offense in a 38-25
loss to Olpe last Tuesday at the
Tournament.
“Defensively, I can’t complain,” Miller said. “We competed. The boys did what I
asked of them, and we held a
pretty good team to 38 points.
Offensively, we had our struggles. We turned the ball over
23 times, and you can’t do that
against an opponent of Olpe’s
caliber.”
The Patriots trailed just
4-2 after one quarter but found
themselves down double digits
at 18-8 heading into the intermission.
WEHS picked things up a
bit in the second half but still
trailed 30-18 after three quarters and could never make a
serious run.
Heinen led the Patriots
with a team-high nine points
and seven rebounds.

around the section, and all of
a sudden that booger cut loose
and threw me sky high,” Beeman relived that bad day now
with a sense of humor.
“A cowboy helping us accused me of not telling the
colt I was a ‘Top Hand,’ or he
wouldn’t have bucked like that.
I said, I was showing the colt
my trophy buckle as I was flying through the air, but it was
upside down, and that darn
horse couldn’t read it,” Beeman’s lookback continued.
Little consolation for that
escapade, Beeman continued,
“I still don’t know what spooked
the colt that day, but now he’s
a really good horse, has never
bucked again, or even shown
any indications. My girls ride
him all of the time.”
Growing up horseback
working cattle near Hamilton
in Greenwood County, Beeman has worked for several
outfits in his four decades, but
“always ended up back in the
Flint Hills.”
Putting his profession to
sport, Beeman has been an
enthusiastic ranch rodeo contestant since beginning of the
competitive events in the Midwest.
“I rode lots of colts, always
been a ranch cowboy, but never did compete in other rodeos
much, except a few jackpots.
I really like the ranch rodeos though, it’s what I do for a
living put to a test with others who are like me, working
ranch cowboys,” Beeman evaluated.
“It’s our vacation going to
the ranch rodeos, seeing our
friends, the other cowboys and
their families become like part
of our family,” he added
Regardless of his nonchalant attitude, Beeman has always been hard to get on the
ground if his mount tries to
pitch. “Dr. (Bryan) Barr, the
veterinarian there at Emporia,
had a horse bucking off every-

body that tried to break him.
Doc asked if I wanted to try the
bronc, and of course I was a
cowboy, young and dumb, and
was anxious to ride him.
“That horse never ever
bucked with me, didn’t even
think about it, and turned out
to be a great horse. I tried and
tried to buy him from Dr. Barr,
before I finally got him,” Beeman enthusiastically recalled
one of hundreds of horses he’s
trained.
However, the most-capable cowboy insisted, “I don’t
take colts anymore, haven’t for
several years now. With a thousand cows to look after, in addition to three times that many
summer grazing cattle, I keep
busy. On top of having a family, going to ranch rodeos, and
keeping up with everything
else.”
Married to his wife Stefanie, 17 years, the couple has
two daughters: Katy, 11, and
Avery, five. “My family is a big
help with the ranch work, too,
and the girls ride in some local
saddle club events,” Beeman
said.
Admitting the Hall-Beeman
ranch rodeo team (whichever ranch combinations they’re
representing) doesn’t go to as
many rodeos as in the past, the
competition adrenalin is still
there. “We pick and choose
more now, go to the bigger
ones, a dozen or so, those we
like the best. But, we’re always out to win, for sure qualify for the ranch rodeo finals in
Amarillo,” Beeman said.
What about his bronc riding scoresheet? “My team
members’ think I definitely
ought to at least go for 30-qualified world rodeo finals ranch
bronc rides, so that’s the objective, win one, and have the top
team, too,” The cowboy said.

Final tournament match finds
success for Lady Raiders
By BRIAN THOMAS
[email protected]
CALDWELL — After three
straight losses to open the
season, the Central of Burden
High School girls’ basketball
team finally found itself on the
winning side of things.
The Lady Raiders outscored Caldwell 12-2 in overtime to capture a thrilling 4232 victory over the Bluejays in
final-round action of the Border Queen Tournament.
“We grew up a little this
weekend,” said Central girls’
coach Leland Hill. “The kids
played hard throughout the
weekend.”
The Lady Raiders had
dropped their first two games
of the tournament, including
51-6 to Norwich on Dec. 8 and
44-23 to Argonia last Friday.
They salvaged the final game
of the tournament as they improved to 1-3 overall.
“We played as well as a
young team could,” Hill said.
“Before the game, we talked
about execution. The girls did a
great job of breaking Caldwell’s
press. The girls used that to
their advantage and built a little bit of a lead in the first half.
Caldwell made a run at us late
third quarter and early fourth.
We knew they would. But the
kids just buckled down and got
the fast break going late in the
fourth. They also stepped it up
on the defensive end and came
up with a couple of really nice
steals. The next thing we knew
we were going into overtime.
The kids won the game at the
free throw line in overtime.”
Despite finishing just 15of-30 at the charity stripe for
the game, the Lady Raiders hit
them when they counted most,
going 8-of-10 during the extra
frame.
“I couldn’t be more proud
of any other group of kids,” Hill
said. “They just did the little
things to win the ball game. It
was great to see with such a
young group of kids.”
The teams went back and
forth much of the contest. Central led 13-5 after one quarter
before Caldwell battled back
within three, 17-14, at the intermission. The Bluejays used
a 10-5 run in the third quarter to grab a 24-22 edge, but
the Lady Raiders came back to
even the score at 30-all at the
end of regulation.
Shannon Mannon, who
was named to the All-Tournament Team, had a game-high
16 points while also leading
the team in assists and steals.
Rylee Liebau followed with
nine points. Meanwhile, Saydi
Loewer recorded a team-high
11 rebounds with four blocked
shots.

Happy 12th Birthday to
our grandson, Brayden. He
took three friends to Dartwarz
and out for pizza. Dartwarz
is a place where the boys can
have nerf gun wars. A perfect
birthday for a 12 year old boy
who loves nerf guns and loves
to play with those who share
that love. Grammy and papa
are still trying to deal with the
fact that he is in middle school,
now 12, hard to believe. Love
you Brayden!
Lyric had her first grade
program, Toys, at Eisenhower
Elementary in Independence
on Monday, Dec. 7. It was a
darling program and Lyric had
a speaking part as Rag Doll
2. Ever helpful Lyric realized
that Rag Doll 1 wasn’t saying
her next line, so Lyric, being
six inches taller than her, proceeds to tap her on the top of
the head to remind her. This
from the girl who couldn’t remember why she got in trouble
at school the other day. When
I asked her why, she thought
a minute and then said, “I just
don’t remember, it is like a
drone looking and not finding
it’s target.” It took me a minute to realize she was comparing the drone to her brain not
remembering. I think I am in
over my head.
If you didn’t see the movie “Coat of Many Colors” produced by Dolly Parton, you
really missed a great movie. It
should be rebroadcast over the
Christmas season. Although not
a Christmas movie, it gives the
story of Dolly Parton’s life and
how faith guided their family
through their circumstances.
It also describes in more detail the story behind the song
“Coat of Many Colors.” My favorite lyric from that song is,
“They didn’t understand it and
I tried to make them see, one is
only poor if you choose to be.
It is true we had no money but
I was rich as I could be in my
coat of many colors, my mama
made for me.”
Another great sports week
for our house, the Kansas City
Chiefs after beginning the season 1-5, defeated the San Diego
Chargers 10-3. With .02 seconds remaining, they broke up
a pass in the end zone to win.
This is their seventh straight
win, making them the top wild
card team by being in the fifth
spot in the AFC Playoffs ranking.
Wichita State is hitting their
By Pauline Ramsey
stride by defeating UNLV 56-50
and #25 Utah 67-50 in a soldout crowd of 15,000 at Intrust
Arena. This winning streak is
largely due to Fred VanVleet
being back in the lineup. Great
to see our freshmen stepping
up, too. The Utah win makes
Wichita State second in the nation in consecutive home wins.
Utah is the team that broke our
35-0 undefeated record last
year so the win felt especially
good.
During these two hectic weeks before Christmas,
please take time to remember
the reason for the season. The
birth of our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. Be aware of those
in need around you and do
what you can for them.
Have a blessed week!

CALDWELL — Trailing by
just four points at halftime,
the Central of Burden High
School boys’ basketball team
struggled in the third quarter and eventually suffered a
57-40 loss to host Caldwell in
final-day action of the Border
Queen Tournament on Saturday.
“We played good in the first
half,” said Raider coach Dave
Whitehill. “But we came out
cold in the third quarter.”
Central hung tough early in the contest. The Raiders
trailed 16-13 after one quarter
and 29-25 at the intermission.
But the host Bluejays took control of action in the third quarter, outscoring Central 12-4 to
open up a double-digit lead at
41-29. That proved to be too
much of a hole to overcome for
the Raiders as they closed the
tournament with back-to-back
losses.
Sam Jackson had a teamhigh 12 points to lead the way
for Central, which dropped
to 1-3 overall on the season.
Dustin Handlin, who was limited to five points in the contest,
still led the Raiders in scoring
during the three-day event
with 33 points and was named
to the All-Tournament Team.

CALDWELL — Handlin had
a double-double with 10 points
and 10 rebounds, but the Raiders came up on the short end of
a 53-40 loss to Argonia in second-day action of the Border
Queen Tournament on Friday.
“Argonia jumped out to
a nine-point lead in the first
quarter,” Whitehill said. “We
fought the rest of the game to
catch up.”
Central was digging out of
a hole from the start of the contest. The Raiders trailed 12-7
after one quarter and 30-17 by
halftime. Things went downhill in the second half as Argonia outscored Central 16-6 in
the third quarter to open up a
46-23 score. Although Central
outscored Argonia 17-7 in the
final period, it was not enough
to come back for the win.
Argonia was led in scoring by Seth Hemberger with
20 points, followed by Kolten
Koerner with 19 and Trevor
Pierce 11. AHS went on to go
3-0 in the event to claim the

CALDWELL — Coming off

8 with a 54-43 decision over
Norwich in the Border Queen
Tournament.
“The boys really had a
pretty good night,” Whitehill
said. “Our defense intensity
was a lot better than against
Sedan. We still turned the ball
over way too much, but we will
work on that. Our shots were
falling, but we still need to
work on moving the ball and
their defense around.”
Central led throughout the
contest, including 14-9 after
one quarter and 29-21 at the
intermission. Although the Eagles cut a point off the deficit
in the third quarter, the Raiders still led 42-35 and went on
from there to post their first
win.
Handlin had a game-high
18 points to lead the way for
Central, followed by Jackson

seatings from
weekend

[email protected]
HESSTON — A pair of area
high school wrestlers won
championships on Saturday
at the Hesston Swather Invitational, including Central of
Burden’s Lucas McMichael at
170 pounds and West Elk’s Kolvin Berry at 285.
Both individuals were key
in their team’s success in the
tournament — Central finishing in sixth place with 77
points and West Elk taking seventh with 74. Chaparral captured the team championship
with 167 points, followed by
Marion with 151.5, Nickerson
145, Lyons 133 and Hesston
99. Following Central and West
Elk in the final team standings
were Leon-Bluestem with 65,
Halstead 53, Remington 50,
St. John Military and Stafford
39, Hillsboro 36, Smoky Valley
33.5, Wichita Independent 33
and Cheney 24.
“We had another good
weekend,” said Central coach
Mike McMichael. “We didn’t
place as many, but all our
wrestlers had a good showing.
Overall, it was a good weekend
for our young men.”
Kevin Weber, West Elk
coach, had his squad on the
mats for the second time in
three days after hosting a double dual with Erie and Fredonia on Thursday.
“All of the Patriot wrestlers
competed well,” Weber said.
“They represented themselves
and the team very well.”
Lucas McMichael — the
top-ranked wrestler at 170
pounds in Class 3-2-1A according to the Kansas Wrestling
Coaches Association — had another strong showing on Saturday for Central. He pinned his
first two opponents of the day,
including Lane May of Remington (1:09) and Easton Ryser
of St. John Military (1:03). He
had a battle on his hand in his
final match but earned a 6-4
double-overtime decision over
Lane Moran of Leon-Bluestem
to finish in first place.
Berry had a similar run
to the title at 285 pounds, although he pinned all three of
his opponents. That included
Daylan Fell of Leon-Bluestem
(0:48), Jaden Slinger of Chaparral (1:01) and Joseph Williams of Nickerson (0:51).
West Elk’s Dallas Parker,
who is ranked No. 5 in Class
3-2-1A at 113 pounds, went
3-1 on the day to take second
place. Also placing for the Patriots was Drake Champagne,
who went 2-2 for fourth place
at 126 pounds.
In addition to McMichael,
Central had two other individuals place on the day, including
Michael Delaney in third place
at 182 with a 3-1 mark and Nathan Delaney in fourth place at
138 with a 3-2 record.
West Elk’s wrestling team
will close out the first semester on Friday as it competes in
the Marion County Dual Tournament in Marion and Hillsboro. Central has completed
its pre-holiday portion of the
schedule and will be off until
Jan. 9 when it travels to the
Herrington Invitational.

suffered a 42-27 loss to Fredonia. Including an earlier trip
to Burlington, WEHS currently
stands at 0-7 so far this season
in duals.
“I thought that the kids
wrestled well, but we had too
many open weights to win
the duals,” Weber said. “They
showed improvement from the
first matches in Burlington the
week before and also showed
more toughness than we had
last year. Hopefully, we will
continue to improve throughout the year.”
Going 2-0 on the night for
the Patriots were Parker at
120 pounds and Berry at 285.
Champagne (132), Chase VanDegrift (145), Jonathan Andrews (152), Mason Harrod

CANEY — Sedan’s boys’
youth basketball teams competed in the Winter Kickoff
Tournament on Saturday.
Both teams started the day
with pool play before moving to
bracket play in the afternoon.
The fifth grade team lost
three games, however gained
experience by playing All-Star
teams from around southeast
Kansas and northeast Oklahoma.
The fourth grade team

first by beating SEK Warriors
and Dewey handily. The first
round of bracket play brought
on a win over Caney, sending
the fourth grade team to the
championship game against
the Parsons Vikings All-Star
team. This was the first true
test and was a close game until the end. The crowd cheered
and sang the Sedan Fight Song
after the victory.
Members of the fifth grade
team are Justus Norris, Koda
Blankinship, Luke Campbell,
Cody Nation, Chris Hessert,
Trent Crawford and Levi Dowell. The squad is coached by
Brent Norris and assisted by
Chelsie Bane.
The fourth grade team
consisted of Triston Wade, Jeremiah Prince, Elisha Walters,
Clayton Smith, Lyndon Sears,
Easton Minor, AJ Floyd and
Martin Shipley. That squad is
coached by Crystal Wade and
assisted by Chelsie Bane.
The trip was made possible by many donations from
the community, including Dr.
James
McDermott,
Floyds
Supermarket, Farm Supply,
Economy Manufacturing, Hessert Farms LLC., Jones Reality
and Heartland Internet. Items
purchased with the donations
included new team uniforms,
team socks, water bottles and
entry to the tournament.
