Mary Lou, Part 2
What?!? This is the former Stan’s Saloon?!? “Whoa...
you’ve gotta be kidding.” No, we’re not. That lovely little
gal behind the bar, Valley County Historian Mary Lou
Helland, is finally seeing her goal come to fruition. Mary’s
Mercantile has come a long way with the help of a few
handymen, including Jimmy Melikan (across the bar from
Mary Lou) who has stuck through the project thick and
thin, despite a few disagreements in what looked like an
unfeasible project that began over two years ago. “There
were times I thought I’d kill Jimmy and times I thought he’d
kill me,” Mary laughed. But now, it’s a transition you’ve

just got to see on “Glasgow’s Famous Front Street”.
There are still a few finishing touches to go, such as the
commercialized kitchen (soon to be completed), perfect
for those office Christmas parties, wedding parties,
birthday parties, et cetera. Everyone is encouraged to
come in and take a look at Mary’s Mercantile’s Open
House until 5:00 tonight and again on Saturday from
10:00 to 5:00. There will be hot cider, coffee and fresh
baked goods. Jimmy will probably be in the background,
still plugging away on what is the restoration of a historical
downtown Glasgow centerpiece.

Scotties hit the road for Billings this morning
By Mike Brandt
They played their hearts out, but just couldn’t pull
out a victory. Glasgow needed a win by three points or
more to finish second and host a first round playoff game.
But the Scotties came up short, losing to top-ranked and
defending state Class B Fairfield Friday night, 34-26.
With the loss the Scotties hit the road at 8:15 this
morning, complete with Glasgow Fire Truck escort,
for a first round playoff game to take on Columbus
Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. The Cougars scored a 21-6
upset victory over Townsend Friday night. Columbus,
Jefferson (Boulder), and Townsend finished the season
tied for second in the Southern B with 4-2 and 5-3
records. Townsend, with a win against Jefferson, finished
third and will play Fairfield Saturday. Jefferson plays at
Malta (7-1, 5-1). Cut Bank (3-6, 3-3) finished fourth in
the Northern conference and also goes on the road to
Tiger Country when they will take on Manhattan (8-0).
In other opening round playoffs, Western B division
winners Eureka (8-0) will host Baker (4-4, the Spartans
travel 750 miles, they’re 200 miles closer to Denver!)
Florence (6-2) hosts Shepherd (4-4), Huntley Project
(6-2)hosts Missoula Loyola (5-4), Bigfork (3-5)travels to
Eastern champions Red Lodge (8-0).
The Scotties (5-3, 4-2) should be proud of how well
they played against Fairfield, taking the Eagles to the final
gun.
The Scotties started the scoring with Jesse Lee taking
the pigskin in from 2-yards out. Glasgow led 6-0 after the
PAT run failed.
Fairfield had an answer when Bake plunged over
from 1-yard out. He also booted the extra point for a 7-6
lead. Gaice Blackwell had a 1-yard run and Bake’s another
PAT kick for a 14-6 lead late in the first quarter.
Glasgow struck back when Loden Idler had a good
run to the Eagles 43 after taking the ball at the 11. The
Scotties were faced with a fourth down when quarterback
Alec Boland found Colter Fast open for a first down at
the 20. A few plays later and the Scotties were in the end
zone as Lee scored on a 4-yard run. Again the run failed
for the two-point conversion.
The Scotties forced Fairfield tom punt the ball,
taking over at the 27 of the Eagles. Boland found Fast
again, this time for a 23-yard touchdown. Lee ran in the
two-point conversion, giving the Scotties a 20-14 lead at
the half.
It was an interception that turned the tide and gave
Fairfield the momentum in the second half.
Keely Bake intercepted a Boland pass on the
Glasgow 19, setting up the go-ahead touchdown. Maguel
Perez scored from 1-yard out, then Bake booted the PAT
to give Fairfield a 21-20 lead with 8:59 to play in the third
quarter.
The Eagles added another TD after forcing Glasgow
to punt the ball. Bake took the ball from 9-yards out to
give the Eagles a 27-20 lead. Glasgow’s defense blocked
the extra point kick.
Glasgow coughed up the ball when Boland gained a
first down, but lost the handle at the 36. Fairfield did not
score on the turnover, turning the ball over on downs.
The Eagles did get to the nine, but a high snap from
center flew over Bake’s head. Two incomplete passes later
and it was fourth and 21. The Scotties took over at the
21 where Boland engineered a drive that had the senior
passing to Idler for a 77-yard touchdown with 9:01 to
play in the fourth quarter. The extra points pass failed, so
the Scotties trailed 27-26.
Fairfield did answer with Perez going over from
5-yards out and Bake kicking the PAT for a 34-26 lead
with 2:45 remaining. Glasgow did have another shot, but
the Eagles intercepted another pass to seal the victory.
Cale Swanson was named the Dean Vegge Award
winner for the outstanding senior.
Back to the future, Glasgow was expected to arrive
in Billings and have a light workout and practice from
1:00 to 3:00 this afternoon at Daylis Stadium. A short 44
mile jaunt to Columbus Saturday morning, and game on.
“They won’t be a push-over,” Coach Pat Barnett
said, but he’s expecting his boys to get the better of the
Cougars.
Go Scotties!

Protection, How Much Do
We Really Need
Are you, like me, wondering just
how much protection I really need?
Sometimes I feel I need protection
from those who are trying to protect me!
I need to send “just pennies a day” to protect my
loved ones from having to pay outrageous burying bills.
Here’s this guy on TV telling me I need protection from
people who are trying to steal my identity, therefore my
money. He claims he can stop all that nonsense if I would
send him just “pennies a day.” He even says he might give me
a million dollars if someone does manage to hacksaw into
my account and steal my paltry hundred dollars!
Are parents being overly protective of their children
these days? It’s been said there are too many “unchild-safe”
things around the house, so we put kid proof stops on all
the cupboard doors, and a gadget on the terlet seat that
protects against a kid falling in and drowning.
My uncle taught me to swim. I didn’t have all the
flotation devices you see kids with these days. He simply
tossed me into the Milk River and I kinda’ taught myself to
swim.....after I managed to get out of the sack, of course.
Protect your kid if you see him or her poking a rattle
snake with a toothpick. Common sense.
But now we have child-proof caps on all medicine
bottles. If you have trouble opening one just hand it to your
two-year-old granddaughter and viola’ off comes the lid.
When I was younger we lived upstairs so my parents
bought one of those accordian-folding gates to put across
the top of the steps. My uncle came over the next day to
have a cuppa and when my parents weren’t looking he
showed me how to unlatch the gate.
We even have things to protect the psyche of our
youngster. It’s called a “participation trophy.” Yikes. If I ever
brought home something like that it would be in the coal-
fired furnace in a heart beat!
Back in the early 60’s a pill was invented that would
protect a woman from getting pregnant which, ultimately
lead to a much higher divorce rate a year after it’s release.
And now those pesky scientists who are trying to protect
us have gone one giant leap forward for all mankind and
made a “morning after” pill that is supposed to thwart
any unwanted sperm gathered at a party last night from
making the short swim upstream to do its job.
Oh back off Brunhilda! That particular pill is also
useful in the case of rape or incest so it’s somewhat of a
good thing.
What with seat belts, bicycle helmets, horseback
riding helmets and football helmets, air bags front and
sides we should feel really safe when venturing outdoors.
There are even cars that wont start unless the belts are
belted.
And speaking of football....are we being protective
enough? I mean, there is strong evidence pointing to
serious health problems from the many head injuries
suffered in the sport. Football gets all the press but how
about ice hockey, or riding bulls, broncs or sheep.
And just think of all the protection provided the
consumer when the fast talking voice on the radio tells
you of the virtues of “hang-no-more” hang-nail remover.
Takes about ten seconds to tell you the good stuff and the
remainder of the 60 second commercial telling you that the
stuff....could cause blindness, infertility, deafness, death,
upset stomach, ulcers, acne, baldness, goiters, flat feet,
insomnia, sleeplessness, sleepwalking, desires to commit
mayhem and in certain cases diarrhea.... also known in
polite circles as the “shemin’ scrits.
“How do you protect yourself from Round up weed
killer? You choose the right legal team.” At least that’s what
I hear ad nauseum on late nite TV.
Have you ever read the fine print designed to protect
the user from committing stupidity, like the lid on a cup
of McCafe that reads “caution, contents may be hot.” Ya’
think?
Now all we need to make us feel real safe is some kind
of truth serum that would make all politicians, journalists,
news people and talking heads tell the whole truth and
nothing but the whole truth.
C’mon now Virgil....Truth in Politics and News
reporting? You been hittin’ the LSD again?
That’s it for now folks. Thanks for listening.
