Glasgow girls
post two Ws
By Mike Brandt
It sounded easy while listening
to the Glasgow girls play Rocky
Boy and Wolf Point. After all, the
Scotties won 55-23 and 59-36.
But it won‘t be easy this week
when the Scotties host rival Malta
on Senior Night tonight (Thursday)
and travel to Poplar the next night.
“Two big conference games
for us,” said Glasgow coach Cami
Graham. “We’ve been working a lot
on our defense and how we are going
to guard. Malta has a really good
post and their guards are strong. We
have got to really play good defense

‘Lobbyists’ What
good are they?
by Lin and Frank Vargo
Examples go way back to the
1600’s but in American history,
the term lobbyist truly became
popular during President Ulysses
Grant’s term in Washington DC
from 1869 to 1877.
You see, President Grant, at
the end of a busy day, would walk
over to the Willard Hotel to sit
quietly in a comfortable leather
chair and smoke a good cigar and
have a glass of brandy or two.
Well, it didn’t take long before
people realized the pattern and
would meander into the hotel to
bend the President’s ear on their
special interests.
Advocates visited the lobby
of the Willard Hotel because they
thought they could influence the
President while he was in a good
mood.
After awhile, Grant coined the
phrase “lobbyist” because they met
in the lobby of the hotel and it is
said that he would complain about
his peace and quiet being disrupted
by those “damn lobbyists!”
The practice of lobbying
increased significantly after the
Civil War and has increased ever
since!
When we lived in Hawaii

According Cigar Oficianado, Ulysses S. Grant
was said to smoke 20 cigars a day. His habit
increased during the Civil War, after the Battle at
Fort Donelson in Tennessee in mid-February 1862.
As he later told General Horace Porter, “I had been
a light smoker previous to the attack on Donelson
.... In the accounts published in the papers, I was
represented as smoking a cigar in the midst of the
conflict; and many persons, thinking, no doubt, that
tobacco was my chief solace, sent me boxes of the

One day the first grade teacher was reading the
story of the Three Little Pigs in her class. She came
to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to
accumulate the building materials for his home. She
read, “...And so the pig went up to the man with the
wheelbarrow full of straw and said, Pardon me sir, but
may I have some of that straw to build my house?’”
The teacher paused then asked the class, “And
what do you think that man said?”
One little boy raised his hand and said, “I think he
said...’Holy sh_t! A talking pig!’”
Frustrated, the teen
storms into his sister’s
