BELOIT — Based on the desire to continue providing a youth tackle football program for the youth of Mitchell County and surrounding communities, the Board of Directors of Beloit Youth Football, Inc. have elected to join the PRIDE of Kansas Football League (PKFL), beginning their inaugural season for participation at the start of the 2018 season. Prior to competing in the Central Kansas Football League (CKFL) during the past three seasons from 2015-2017, the Beloit Youth Football program had participated in the Salvation Army Football League during the previous fourteen seasons from 2000-2014. The PKFL will continue to provide the Buccaneers with the same quality of league play and competitive season schedule they have become accustomed to, comprised of multiple towns throughout Kansas and Eastern Colorado that include area teams from Russell, Hoisington, Great Bend, Hays, Phillipsburg and Norton. Other communities that currently participate in the PKFL include Colby, Goodland, Ulysses, Larned, Ellinwood, and Burlington, Colo.
The Beloit Youth Football program looks forward to continuing their tradition of excellence, providing local youth, who have the desire, with the opportunity to play the game of football, while teaching them the proper techniques and coaching them the fundamentals of the game. Player safety is the number one priority in addition to everyone playing. The program’s goals are to promote the ideals of good sportsmanship while instilling a sense of pride in each

BELOIT – A house fire on North Campbell sustained minimal damage after a fire in the attic broke out on Saturday afternoon in Beloit. No one was hurt in the fire.
The Beloit Fire Department was dispatched around 4:45 p.m. to the home.
According to newly appointed Beloit Fire Chief Aaron LaCoe, it was believed to have been an electrical fire that began in the attic.
“The fire was contained in around two hours,” said LaCoe. “There was insulation and some sheet rock that burned, but very little damage.”
Occupants Clara and Rich Watts smelled smoke and went outside where they saw smoke coming out from around the eaves of the house.
“They were lucky it happened during the daytime and not at night,” said LaCoe.
Aaron LaCoe was just appointed as the new Beloit Fire Chief during the last City Council meeting held last Tuesday, taking over Blake Miller’s position. Miller remains on the fire department.
“I have some big shoes to fill,” said LaCoe.

BELOIT – The Beloit Trojans hosted the Southeast of Saline Trojans and split a pair of games on the baseball diamond in Beloit on Thursday, April 19. SES ended a pitchers duel with a pair of late runs to take game one by a final score of 2-0. Beloit bounced back with a 10-1 victory in game two.
Both teams were strong on the mound on in game one. Walker Shaffer pitched all seven innings and did not allow a hit. He surrendered two runs in the top of the seventh inning after a pair of walks and a batter advancing on a passed ball on strike to load the bases. Another passed ball allowed a run to score. Then a mishandled bunt, and subsequent error, brought another run home for SES. That was all they would need to pick up the win after shutting Beloit down in their last at bat. Shaffer ended up striking out seven and walked three in the no-hit loss.
Hunter Whittecar picked up the win for Southeast of Saline. He surrendered no runs while scattering five hits over six
innings, striking out three and walking one.
Dale Boldridge went 2-3 at the bat for Beloit.
Beloit redeemed
themselves with a 10-1 victory after jumping out to an early lead and never looking back in game two. They opened the bottom of the first inning on their guests with three straight hits on their way to a 3-0 lead. Hudson Smith and Nick Meier both singled to center before Braydon Conn hit a one base to right field to load the bases.
Smith and Meier scored on an error of a ball hit to right field by Carson Cox for a 2-0 lead. Conn then advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt from Caden Emmot, and later scored on an infield error for a 3-0 lead. That would be all the Trojans would need to seal the win as Braxton Eilert turned in a second straight extremely solid pitching performance on the day for Beloit. Eilert threw seven innings of
five-hit ball with four strikeouts and a pair of walks while allowing one earned run.
The Orange and Black picked up run number four in the second inning. Grant Arasmith drove a one-out double to center and later scored on a single to left from Conn. SES picked up their lone run of the game in top of the third after a lead-off walk followed by a single and an RBI sac fly.
Beloit responded in the bottom of the third as another
four runs were tacked onto the lead. Emmot drew a lead-off walk, he went to second on a Cox grounder, and was driven home by Boldridge. Later in the inning, with two away and Boldridge on third, he was driven home by Arasmith on an RBI infield single. Smith then took first base after being hit by a pitch, and Meier singled to put runners on the corners. With Conn at the plate, Smith scored on a passed ball and it was 8-1 Beloit.
Boldridge struck again for the Trojans in the bottom of the fourth. His one-out, RBI single made it a 9-1 score as Emmot crossed the plate after leading off the inning with a hit, stealing second base, and making his way to third on a wild pitch. Boldridge led the way for Beloit going a team leading 4-6 at the plate with two RBI and a walk. That walk came in the bottom of the sixth, as he made his presence felt one last time as SES tried to pitch around him
with two on and nobody out. Emmot had walked and found his way to third on a Cox single to put runners on the corners. Emmot scored run number 10 for the Trojans on a passed ball three to Boldrige who was intentionally walked.
Beloit stayed at .500 on the year, at 6-6, with the split. They will play again Friday when they travel to Abilene for a double-head with the 4A Division II Cowboys.

BELOIT – It was a pair of competitive games between the Southeast of Saline Lady Trojans who traveled to Beloit to take on the Orange and Black on Thursday last week. The home team got out to a 2-0 lead, but they would later need, and get, a late inning rally to secure a 6-4 victory in Game 1. In game two, the teams played to a 7-7 tie through eight and half innings before a walk-off triple by Paige Goddard gave Beloit the sweep, 9-7.
The Lady Trojans gave themselves a 2-0 cushion as Jessica Meier doubled, Breezy Schroeder singled, and Meier then scored on a passed ball
which sent Schroeder to
second. Grace Marozas then singled her home with an RBI to right.
Beloit starting pitcher, Darby Odle, sat SES down in order in what was only a six-pitch second inning on three straight groundouts. SES scored a pair of runs in the top
of the third to tie the game at two and picked up two more in the next inning and led 4-2 heading into the Beloit half of the fifth.
Karson Brown led off the inning for Beloit by reaching first base after being hit by a
pitch. Marozas made it
runners on the corners as she followed Brown with a single to right. With Odle at the plate, Marozas took second, before Darby brought Brown home with a fielder’s choice groundout to third. Marozas, who advanced to third on the Odle groundout, scored on another groundout to third. This one by Jamie Drum to tie the game at four with one away. Jenna Loomis singled the Lady Trojans back into the lead at 5-4 as drive to right scored Odle from second base.
Beloit tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth to lead 6-4, which would stand for the final score. Brown and Marozas
each hit two-out singles to the outfield. Brown then scored on an infield single by Odle, who was also the winning pitcher. She threw a complete game, scattering seven hits, striking out three and walking none as SES scored four unearned runs.
Both teams fought and back and forth until a final at-bat would in fact be Beloit’s favor. Goddard drove in RBI hits to start, extend, and finish the scoring for Beloit.
The Lady Trojans
matched a pair of second inning runs for SES with a pair of their own in the bottom half of the inning. Marozas, who hit the ball well all day, led off with a single. Later, with two outs, Goddard picked up singled to center to score Marozas. In the process, Goddard would make it all the way around to score herself, thanks to an outfield error by SES, to tie the game 2-2.
SES responded with
another pair of runs to retake the lead 4-2 in the top of the third. Beloit got a run back in the fourth as Morozas picked up a lead off single. Odle singled Marozas to third, and a sacrifice bunt by Drum brought her home to come within one of SES at 4-3 heading to the fifth. SES added another in that inning to stretch their lead to 5-3. Goddard got the start, and a no decision for Beloit, on the mound. She was replaced by Darby Odle after the sixth inning where SES extended their lead to 7-3. She threw six innings of eight hit ball, recording two walks and a strikeout. She allowed four earned runs of the seven in total for SES through the six.
Finding themselves in a four-run hole in the bottom of the sixth, Beloit got one back. The run was a culmination of
a trio of SES errors and a groundout to the first four batters. The third error allowed Odle to score from third base after reaching on the first error.
Odle then took to the mound trying to keep the deficit at three for Beloit and give them a chance to tie or win the game in the bottom of the seventh. She sat SES down in order. In the Lady Trojans half of the seventh, Schroeder led off with an infield single. Brown grounded to short, but she reached on an error as Schroeder moved over to second base. Odle then hit a one out double to center to score Schroeder and advance Brown to third. Goddard then came to the plate with her team trailing by two, with two on, and two away. She drove a bases clearing triple to right field to tie the game 7-7 and send it to extra innings.
Odle was dominant in three innings of relief. She ended up just an infield error by her teammates, facing 10 batters and retiring nine. Beloit came up in the bottom of the ninth with another chance to win the game. However, two quick outs had leaning toward a tenth inning. Odle singled to center and represented the winning run on first. Drum grounded to first, but she reached on an error and advanced to second as Odle held at third. Goddard came to the plate with two on and two out. She once again drove a triple to right to win the game in walk-off fashion.
Goddard finished the game 3-5 at the plate with five RBI, seven total bases and a run scored. Odle went 3-4 with a pair of singles, a double, an RBI and three runs scored.
Beloit improved to 12-2 on the season with the victory and will be on the road at Abilene on Friday this week.
Brady Palen won a gold medal in the high jump at 6’ 6”.
Bronze medals were won by the 4x100-meter relay team of Blake Perez, Brady Palen, Brayden Perez and Braden Dameron in 47.71.
Fifth place went to

Placing sixth was Kail Dubbert in the 1600-meter run in 5:26.84 and Brady Palen in the long jump at 19’ 1.25 inches.

I have a very sensitive office environment problem. My office mate smells, and the smell permeates the entire office and even gets stuck to my clothes. And I’ m not the only one who can smell it. Other co-workers have noticed it, too. I think it’ s a matter of not changing clothes enough or not bathing well or often enough. She is such a nice lady that I really can’ t mention it to her. It would hurt her feelings. Because our office has only five employees in it (we’ re out in the boondocks), we have very limited office space. So there’ s no possibility of moving desks and putting more space between her and the rest of us. And no air freshener or scent diffuser we’ ve tried works. What can be done? Again, she’ s very nice and friendly, and I don’ t want to hurt her. -- Stinky Outside Seattle This is the sort of delicate personnel matter best handled by the human resources department. Talk to whoever is in charge of HR for your company, even if that person isn’ t located in the same office.
If you don’ t have an HR department, then try talking to your co-worker yourself. At the end of the day, ask your co-worker whether she has a minute before she leaves. Go into a private space, and say something to the effect of: “ It may just be my sensitive nose, but I’ ve noticed there’ s sometimes a strong smell near your desk. I just wanted to make you aware of the issue, because I hope you would do the same for me.” It’ s going to be awkward no matter which way you slice it. But telling her is a noble act. You’ re bearing a minute of discomfort to spare her further embarrassment and your co-workers further unpleasantness. Do be sure to have this talk at the end of the day, as telling her earlier, when she can’ t do anything about it, would be cruel.
Also, as this is the second letter I’ ve received this month about a co-worker’ s olfactory offenses, a public service announcement: To anyone thinking of skipping that pre-work shower, please don’ t.
I’ m just a normal adult who is sick and tired of hearing the F-word out in public. Why is this word permitted at
public events, at the shopping mall and in movie theaters? When my grandchildren were very young, we had this happen at a baseball game. The person behind us repeated the word many times, until finally my husband politely asked the person to stop. Luckily for us, he wasn’ t attacked for the request -- which is always a concern these days.
Can we start a national campaign to stop the use of the F-word in public? Here’ s an idea: If you wouldn’ t say a certain thing in church, then don’ t say it in public. I hope others will agree with this idea, and perhaps the security guards at public events could help out. -- Grandma
I couldn’ t find any data to verify the claim, but I also have noticed more people using the F-word in recent years. It may be because many popular shows are on cable or streaming platforms and therefore not subject to the strict censorship laws that govern network TV, allowing the shows to have a free-for-all with the cussword, which may have trickled down into society. But we can’ t just blame TV. In any case, let’ s keep it clean, folks.

If you had to pick one thing that would make Kendall Francis the Beloit City employee of the quarter it would have to be his enthusiasm for the job.
Recognition as city employee of the quarter really means something to the 27-year-old class IV water treatment specialist. He is proud of the work he does and to be a part of a hard working team.
“ I just spent a week at a conference in Wichita and they said that recognition is the number one motivator, this is really great to come back and get this,” said Francis.
After 34 years of going to the office every day, meeting deadlines and putting up with the daily grind, Robert Jones says the thing that makes him the happiest about the retirement is being away from the time schedule.
