What’s the Game Plan?

We already know that the Glasgow
Gridders’ game plan is to “Wreck the
Wolves”. The GHS Art Club has been
painting Glasgow business windows for
homecoming, and not one of them are
alike. Heavily armed with paint brushes
and making a game plan for a window at
Buzz headquarters yesterday were Ava
Lloyd, Art Instructor Cathryn McIntyre and
her little buddy Charlie Blue and Emma
Whitner. Nice job, ladies — and little fellow!

Heated debate on CNN
A pro-Trump CNN commentator let CNN
anchor Chris Cuomo have it for spreading “fake
news” about President Trump during a heated debate
about his recent outreach to Hispanic voters.
CNN contributor Steve Cortes was asked how
Trump can “love Latinos” after saying “so many anti-
Mexican” and “anti-Puerto Rican” things.
Cortes explained that Hispanic Americans want
“results” and pointed to rising incomes and small
businesses within the community.
“This president has simply been an amazing
leader for Hispanics,” Cortes said. “I think a lot of
Hispanics look at Donald Trump and they may
say, ‘Look, I would like him if he phrased things
differently.’”
Cuomo dismissed the argument and said Trump
has consistently “denigrated” the Latino community.
The CNN anchor also knocked Trump’s support
among Hispanic voters, saying Trump has “a third of
them at best.”
“Put that in context,” Cortes responded. “A third of
them, Chris, is incredible compared to expectations.”
“For someone who says bigoted things about
them, maybe,” Cuomo shot back.
“No, he does not say bigoted — that is not true,”
Cortes said. “Now, that is fake news for you to say
that. What’s bigoted is making the southern border a
racial issue when it’s not.”
“America is not a race, so by protecting America,
you are protecting Americans of every color, whether
they are brown or black or purple,” Cortes continued.
“But what has the media done on a consistent basis?
It’s trying to make his tough border policies inherently
or systemically racist.”
“Because he has depicted the people who are
coming to the border as savages who are bombarding
the gate,” Cuomo interrupted.
“Some of them are,” Cortes told the anchor.
“Some of them are, Chris, and we know that.”

The bad news is that you missed “pony up,”
“saddle up,” and “giddy up” on your “Important Ups of
the Wild West” quiz.
The good news is that your teacher was so
pleased that you remembered “cowboy up” for extra
credit that she made a little joke in the margin of your
quiz, saying that she would be happy to “round up”
your grade, and something about the way she drew a
little smiley face next to her comment made you feel
giddy and weepy and nauseated all at the same time.
Padden collects first victory
By Mike Brandt
The meet wasn’t huge, but that didn’t matter to
Glasgow runner Lauren Padden. The Scotty senior won
her first high school cross country race Friday at the
Glendive Invitational in a time of 22:37.16.
Three of her teammates also finished in the top
15 with Kira Beck running a 24:26.34 for 10th, Stevie
Hartwell was 11th with a time of 24:33.13, and Haylly
Turner 12th with a time of 24:35.44.
“That time was my personal best this year,” said
Padden. “It was the first time I won a meet, so it was
exciting. And I think we all had good times.”
The competition was great, said Padden. Richey-
Lambert’s Shawna Eggert was hot on Padden’s heels,
finishing second, running a time of 23:09.73.
“I have seen her a couple of times this year,” said
Padden. “She usually beats me. So this was fun to finally
get her.”
This wasn’t a huge meet with seven schools
participating. Glendive won the meet with 23 points,
Sidney followed with 47, Wolf Point had 62, Glasgow,
Richey-Lambert, Circle and Terry did not field a full
team.
“The meet was pretty small,” said Padden, who said
that the course was pretty flat. “There were a few hills,
but it wasn’t too bad. And we ran it twice.”
Like her teammates, Padden said they do distance
runs on Monday and Wednesday.
“Usually our distance workouts are five to six
miles,” she explained of cross country practice. “Then
we do a hill workout on Tuesday and Thursday,” she
said, adding that the kids also run a 400 or 800 and they
run that six or more times.

 During the off-season she tried to get out
and run.
“I tried to,” she said. “I went to a Bozeman
running camp. That was really fun, but I probably
should have done more.”
Glasgow was missing some of its runners so
Padden couldn’t run along with Ali Cunningham,
who she usually runs with.
“She usually beats me, but she wasn’t here
this week,” said Padden. “So I didn’t get to run
with her. Usually in practice I run with her.”
The Scotties also had three run in the junior
varsity race with the three finishing 2-3-4. Aubrey
Barlow led with a time of 28:09.81, Elizabeth
Nyquist ran a 28:35.24 and Shanice Lagerquist
ran a 28:37.22.
Wilson Overby led the Glasgow boys,
running a 16:48.26, winning the race. He had four
teammates finish behind him in the top 10. Carl
Zabrocki was fifth with a time of 18:34.83, Bergen
Miller was seventh with a time of 19:11.24, Jacob
Meiers was eighth, running a 19:16.68. Lane

here, but half of them was our team.”
Glasgow also had 10 running in the junior
varsity race with Ted Tryan winning the race,
running a time of 20:19.37.
Wolf Point’s Zander Ackerman has always
been Overby’s competition, and it was the same
in this race with Ackerman following in second
place, running a 17:08.28. Ackerman beat Overby
at the Glasgow meet last week.
“This was a good race,” said Meiers, who
thought the Scotties probably won the meet.
Glasgow did win it with 30 points, followed
by the host Red Devils in second with 46 points,
Wolf Point had 59 and Scobey 88. Fairview and
Terry did not field a full team.
Meiers said that he didn’t run during the off-
season.
“I worked,” he said. “So it was kind of rough
coming into the season not running. Every day I
feel like I’m getting better.”
The Scotties will be in Poplar Saturday.
That course is all right, it’s not my favorite,”
admitted Meiers. “It should be a quick course.”

Scotties prepare for Sidney
The Glasgow netters will get a good test Thursday
night when the Scotties take on Class A Sidney in a non-
conference volleyball match. Glasgow also hosts Poplar
Saturday in a District 2B match. And it’s homecoming
week for the Scotties.
Second-year coach Somer Hoerster expects a tough
battle with the Eagles.
“They are returning a girl that is six foot and plays
in the middle,” she said. “She’s pretty athletic. She runs
some quick stuff in the middle. But they have a new
setter. I don’t know what she is like. I expect them to
give up a go. They usually do.”
Sidney looks to be bigger across the board than the
Scotties.
“When you throw six footer in the middle and a
bunch of five nine and five 10 kids against you, it’s going
to be a battle,” said Hoerster. “It’s nice to have some
size against you so you know how you can compete
with that. I think it’s going to be scrappy. We’re looking
forward to it.”
Hoerster said that there was a great crowd for the
match with Malta last week and hopes to see another
crowd for the Scotties matches this week.
“We’d love to have another great crowd and to
be loud, especially since it is homecoming week,” said
Hoerster. “All the support we can get would be awesome.”
The Scotties go into the match against Sidney after
posting two District 2B victories last weekend. Glasgow
defeated Malta and Harlem on Thursday and Saturday,
respectively.
On Thursday the Scotties beat rival Malta in the
sets, 25-15, 25-12 and 25-6. Taylor Peterson had eight
of the Scotties’ 21 kills, Anika Peters had five of 13 aces,
Laura Ross seven of 18 digs, Rachelle Glasgow three of
five blocks and 14 of 15 assists.
“Malta looked better in Chinook than they did
against us,” said Hoerster. “One of their kids was out
with an injury. I was expecting that match to be a little
tougher than it was.”
Don’t count out the M-ettes yet. They always come
back later in the season to give teams a tough time and
coach Hoerster expects that could happen.
“I’m sure they will come around,” she said.only
block.
Saturday the Scotties also swept Harlem, 25-8, 25-
15 and 25-15. Glaser led Glasgow with 10 of 37 digs and
17 of 19 assists. Keeley Fossum had six of 23 kills, and
Ross four of nine aces.
“Overall, I’m really happy with how things are
progressing. We’re looking better all of the time,” said
Hoerster. “I can see things that we have been working
on they are starting to implement in games. It’s nice
when you have a team like this that is so athletic. You
can spend a lot more time scrimmaging against each
other in practice.”
Serve/receive has been an issue for the Scotties as it
is for other teams. Coach Hoerster said that it is hard to
tell at this point. When you beat a team 25-8 you don’t
see a lot of serving or receiving.
“That’s getting better,” said Hoerster. “I think until
divisional we’re not going to know how much better we
have gotten. The level of serving will increase at that
tournament. But, at times we will see some tough servers
along the way. One of our goals is not to let somebody
rattle off three or four points against us before we get a
side out and get the ball back. I haven’t had to call very
many timeouts this season and that says a lot about the
confidence I have in my team.”
Hoerster added that the kids are being more
aggressive as far as swinging on stuff that they may not
think are perfect.
“Every kid likes something a little bit different so
that makes the job as the setter pretty tough,” she said.
“Some likes that ball really tight on the net and another
can’t do anything with the ball tight on the net. So you
are trying to adjust constantly for whoever is in the
front row. So we have been working a lot on swinging
aggressively at sets that aren’t ideal.”
That work has made the defense move more, which
has helped the Scotties in their wins.
“The more you attack the less you have coming
back at you,” Hoerster said.

When Do I Get My Share
This week I received four calls for
donations by phone and several or more
via US mail. There were a couple that
I would have donated to if I had a few
extra bucks....I don’t and I didn’t.
Americans in general have proven to be
good donators over the years averaging more than $400
billion to charities each year throughout the country.
There are some good places to donate where most of the
money goes to the needy and there are not so good places
where the money ends up mostly in “administration fees.”
The United States has a GNP (Gross National
Product) of about $19.6 trillion dollars. Our national debt
is over $20 trillion meaning that every U.S. citizen, man,
woman and child is liable for $61,500 in unsustainable
debt....each!
We owe, we owe so off to work we go! Gotta make
more money in order to pay more taxes so we and the
government can donate more money to more people in
more nations throughout the world.
I’m getting to my pernt so hang in there.
I would suggest to those of you who have been
hounding me for money that you need to go to the place
where they hand out money by the billions and mostly
without ever requiring repayment.
The only prerequisites are that you need money
for agriculture, for basic education, for basic health,
to quell conflict and promote peace and stability, for
developmental food aid/food security assistance, for
emergency response, for energy use and development,
for general budget support, for government and civil
security, for other social infrastructure and services and
last but not least, for population policies and reproductive
health. What???
If you can qualify for one or more of these criteria
I can tell you where to go, and for you skeptics it is
not to the South Bank of the Milk River, LLC and ½, a
local lending institution centrally located in beautiful
downtown Thoeny. Nope, while they are cordial, friendly
and American at SBMR they aren’t who I had in mind.
They’re stingy and democrats.
If you need money all you have to do is pick up the
computer and e-mail your favorite government elected
official and give him/her your request. If they balk, as
I’m sure they will then ask Mr. Daines, or Mr Tester or
whomsoever else is seated in the Senate and House “how
in Hell can you give Cote d Ivoire $162 million, or Iraq....
yes friends our very hostile and unfriendly enemy...
got $5.3 billion bucks from US taxpayers in 2016 and
Afghanistan got an equal amount. Ethiopia, Kenya and
Egypt each won the US welfare lottery by garnering over
a billion dollars each. And the list is endless!
Oh and back to the Cote d Ivoire....does anyone who
doesn’t speak Francoise even know where that is? You
can figure out that maybe it’s ‘the country once known as
the Gold Coast’. Maybe.
The Honduran and Guatemalan governments took
in $128 million and $297 million respectively, one for
“Government and Civil Society Aid” (Honduras) and the
other for “Basic Education” (Guatemala). Does anyone
but me and maybe Mike Stebleton see the glaring irony
in that?
Thirteen nations mainly in central Africa have
been awarded a total of about $5.2 billion dollars for
“population policies and reproductive health.” These are
primarily the most HIV infected nations in the entire
world.
If your abacus works you can see that the money we
sent out to nations mostly south of the Mediterranean
Sea total somewhere in the area of $40 billion dollars.
As most of my 34.8 readers know I usually round
off to the nearest million so please don’t nit-pick me with
figures you have pared down to the last dollar. I can do that
as well i.e. Iraq: $5,281,179,380 or Israel: $3,113,310,210
or Pakistan $777,504,870. See what I mean?
Anyway I’m sure Senator Daines, (Bless his little ol’
pea-pickin’ heart) and Senator Tester ( if he ain’t too busy
wrenchin’ on his tractor while adorned in his starched
white shirt) would be elated if you would call, write,
tweet or e-mail them asking where does all this money
go and who is keeping tabs on how it is spent. Oh and
then, politely ask them “when do I get my share?” (The
checks in the mail.)
That’s it for now folks. Thanks for listening.
