Reel Life Wisdom
“What do you suppose that Boone was looking for
when he went out alone into the wilderness? Was he
looking for new lands? Maybe for something more,
something that a man just can’t see with his eyes or
hold in his hands. Something that some men don’t even
know that they have until they’ve lost it. To be free. You
know, that’s quite a word, freedom. I think that’s what
he wanted.” ~ Stanley Ridges in Sergeant York (1949)
Scotties win twin bill
By Mike Brandt
Make up matches are being played this week
for the Glasgow Scotties, at least most of them are
makeup matches. Glasgow has one match that is not
a makeup and that is tonight in Malta. Glasgow also
has a doubleheader with Poplar Saturday to wrap up
the regular season.
The Scotties (11-5, 5-0) had two matches against
Harlem postponed earlier this season. Those matches
were played Tuesday night on the Scotties home
court. The results were what was expected, a Glasgow
sweep. The Scotties used their broom for a sweep in
the first match, winning 25-16, 25-12 and 25-14.
Rachelle Glaser led the Scotties with 16 assists,
six digs and four aces, while Abrianna had 10 kills.
Glasgow had 24 kills, 25 digs, 17 assists and 13 aces
in the match. Harlem finished with 11 kills, 18 digs,
10 assists and eight aces.
The girls, with a different lineup, used that same
broom to sweep away the Wildcats in the second
match, 25-14 and 25-17. However, by the third set or
sixth of the night, Harlem came to life before bowing
out on a 26-24 loss.
Riley Noser led Glasgow with five kills, Carly
Nelson had two blocks, Daley Aune 10 assists and
three aces, and Blaire Westby three digs. The Scotties
finished the night with 24 kills, four blocks, 12 aces,
11 digs and 21 assists. Harlem had 12 kills, three
blocks, seven aces, 20 digs and 11 assists.
Glasgow did have a battle with Class A Glendive
Saturday night, losing in four sets. The Scotties put up
a fight to win the first game 25-17 but lost the next set
25-16. Glasgow was in the third game before bowing
out 26-24. The Red Devils took the fourth game 25-18.
Tyann Graham had 10 kills in the match, Nielsen
had four aces, Westby 26 digs, and Glaser 13 assists
and two blocks. The Scotties finished with 33 kills,
three blocks, six aces, 56 digs and 26 assists.
The District 2B tournament gets underway
Friday, October 23rd in Malta. Glasgow will probably
be the top seed if the Scotties win all three of their
matches this weekend.
Glasgow coach Somer Hoerster was not available
for comments this week.
Cross Country — The Scotties hit the long road
to Kalispell — 419 miles worth of Highway 2 —
for the State Meet. The boys run on Friday at 2:00
followed by the girls at 3:00.

Promises Not Kept
As Robert Service once penned in
his poem The Cremation of Sam McGee,
“A promise made is a debt unpaid.”
Seems to me that our politicians, the
ones we elected to office mostly because
of the promises they made while campaigning for our vote
have a whole lot of “debts unpaid.”
Of all the promises Clinton made buying his way into
the White House he actually kept three. Bush, G-Dub kept
two of his many promises and the hero of most women
old and young, big and small, black and white, Obama
kept just one of his promises while almost doubling our
national debt (10 trillion 2008 to 19.5 trillion 2016). And
he’s still doing his level best, behind the scenes of course,
to destroy America.
On the other side of the fence is Donald Trump,
YOUR and MY president has kept more than a few of his
promises. According to Kevin McCullough, op-ed writer
for the Town Hall, Donald has kept, by actual count, 127
of his campaign promises. Too many to mention here but I
will in a future article if you wish.
In this instance I would hope that, if by the off-
chance, Joe Biden wins, he goes deeper in the promise debt
because I wouldn’t like him to keep most of the promises
he has made so far. Most of them are purely detrimental
to the United States as we know it. Most would create a
radical change to our country. Here’s how he will ruin
America.
He’s already promised free college, forgiveness of
student debt, tearing down the wall and opening up the
country to anyone and everyone. There is even a promise
to pay all Wuhan Virus patients, make reparations to
ancestors of slaves ( an atrocious figure of $800,000 each)
and to pay healthcare for all illegal aliens plus a whole
lot more free stuff. He has promised to over-ride all the
stops Trump has placed on the Affordable Care Act and
go to government controlled healthcare. Yikes.
If this and all the other freebie promises the left has
made happens, you folks who contributed to the Democrats
and got Joe elected will be the main losers. Republicans will
take it in stride and try helping the Democrats to right the
ship. In the meantime you can kiss your Beamer goodby as
well as your wife’s gems and stocks, you can sell your boat
and jet skis and let your country club membership lapse. No
more ski trips to Aspen or Flaxville. And no more college
fund for your kids....oh but wait. They get free college and
that’s one of the main reasons you’re losing your house.
Seems Joe and the rest of the country with left-leanings
can’t get a grasp on the income/outgo concept of running a
household, a city, a county, a state or a country. You cannot
survive when you spend more money than you bring in.
Unless you have a benevolent and philanthropic government
giving away goods and services without charging. That
would be called Socialism....a system of controlling a
population and a system that has not been successful since
Eve told Adam “Not tonight Babe....however, if you take a
bite of that red thing hanging from that tree maybe I’ll let
you get lucky.”
I’m not much for predictionating things but if you
thought that the almost $10 trillion increase in the national
debt caused by Obama was bad you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!
I would say that if Biden comes up with enough money to
buy this election that the national debt clock will have a
myocardial infarction. We’re looking at, probably a debt of
80 trillion dollars if the Dems last eight years in office.
Where do we get that kind of bucks? A 42% increase
in across-the-board taxation would be a start. And Pelosi
has already threatened us with that. If it’s a Democrat
sweep and they control the House, Senate and White
House we will cease to be a free democracy or even a free
republic. Can you spell Socialism? Or can you spell the
government that usually succeeds Socialism? I can and it’s
spelt ‘communism’ with a capital C.
On the downside, if there is a downside when Trump
gets re-elected, we face another four years of Liberal/
Progressive nasty, underhanded, back-stabbing, lying stuff
like we endured for the past three years nine months. The
Pelosi faction is already salivating at the thought that they
will possibly get another chance to “get rid of Trump.”
The 25th amendment has been cited as has yet another
impeachment fiasco.
If all of the above is what you are looking for then
the Harris/Biden ticket is your poison. If you want lower
taxes, immigration reform, no open borders, fully funded
and supported police, a strong military, a drastic change for
the better in healthcare and all the other perks this great
president is offering then the Trump/Pence ticket is the
obvious choice next month.
That’s it for now folks. Thanks for listening.
