National Day
of the Cowboy
National Day of the Cowboy
is observed annually on the fourth
Saturday of July. It’s a day for
honoring the cowboy culture and
to preserve our pioneer heritage.
The cowboys and cowgirls are great
symbols of American history.
The life of a cowboy required a
particular ability to live in a frontier
world. To do so requires respect,
loyalty, and a willingness to work
hard.
In the words of former
President George W. Bush, “We
celebrate the Cowboy as a symbol of
the grand history of the American
West. The Cowboy’s love of the land
and love of the country are examples
for all Americans.”
And there’s going to be plenty
of cowboy and cowgirl action on

What does love mean?
A group of professional people posed this question
to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds: “What does love mean?”
The answers they got were broader and deeper
than anyone could have imagined. See what you think...
“When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t
bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my
grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his
hands got arthritis too. That’s love.” ~ Rebecca - age 8

saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one
doing that. I wasn’t scared anymore.” ~ Cindy - age 8
“Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece
of chicken.” ~ Elaine - age 5
“Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and
sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert
Redford.” ~ Chris - age 7

“When someone loves you, the way they say your “Love is when your puppy licks your face even after

Who Are These
People?
Why aren’t the police, mayors,
governors, janitors, jailers and etc
(whoever he is) releasing the names
and states of residence of the few idiots who
have been unlucky enough to get arrested in these
riots around the country? And why aren’t a whole
slew of the morons being arrested and jailed? And
how many of the malcontents actually believe the
“cause” they are burning and looting and rioting for?
They’re a bunch of college sophomore-type
whiners like we had back in the SDS (Students for
a Democratic Society), the Weathermen and the
Black Panthers....excuse me I mean the African
American Panthers....well that ain’t right either.
The Persons-of-Color-Black-African-American
Panthers! There..happy now? And in that “cause”
there were more white folks protesting than persons
of color, especially (and look at the photo’s of those
protests) young, blond-haired, blue-eyed, bubble-
butted white girls with a “cause.” A few hippie male
bandana-heads were in evidence. My, my those were
the days, indeed.
There were sit-in’s, stand-in’s, lay-in’s, smoke-
in’s, drive-in’s and plenty of LSD. It was also the time
the infamous “pill” was introduced to the ladies of
America, married, hooked-up or single. The year
after that momentous discovery the divorce rate in
America escalated 40%! don’t ask me why. Must’ve
been the hash! Or the weed.
The country was addicted to tie-dyed tee-
shirts, long hair on male type individuals and the
incessant use of “Pig” or “I smell Bacon” when
in close proximity to the “Fuzz.” It was a time of
Woodstock....of VW Minivans....Joan Baez, PP&M,
“Blowing In The Wind” and Flower Children. It
was also the time of Kent State and Patty Hearst’s
Symbionese Liberation Army whatever the Hell that
was! It was a time of Haight Ashbury.
Ayn Rand was all the rage with her best sellers
The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged although
most of the colleger’s who read the two books (or
maybe just said they read them to impress some
chickie) didn’t understand two words of what Rand
was trying to tell us. “Who is John Galt” was on
everyone’s lips.
JFK was assassinated by Oswald, Lee Harvey
and MLK was killed. And Bobby Kennedy was
killed. Elvis got out of the Army.
The British Invasion began in the 60’s. Patsy
Cline, Hawkshaw Hawkins and Jim Reeves were
killed in airplane accidents as was Buddy Holly,
Richie Valens and The Big Bopper. Sad times.
Integration was instituted as was busing in
a failed attempt to bring whites and blacks into
harmony. Zoot suits were on the way out and low
riders were in.
My pernt in all this is to show how we were
and if you look at things today you won’t see much
difference. We have our good things and our bad
and so far the bad do not over-power the good.
Our Nuclear family has diminished in favor of co-
inhabiting without the advantage of a license. The
family unit is succumbing to the LGBTQ way of life.
Christianity is on the decline....Muslimism is on the
rise. America cannot survive under sharia law. We
need to return to the solid male/female family unit
that was so strong in the late 40’s into the middle
60’s. That was what held us together.
We need more Norman Rockwell and less
Snoop Dog!
We also need Donald J. Trump back in the
White House where he belongs after the upcoming
election. If you’re in favor of America becoming a
third world country under a socialist or democrat
controlled regime then kick him out. Take away
our constitutional right to bear arms and to speak
our mind. Take our guns and ammo. Put us all in
the same clothing, same hair-do’s, driving the same
cars, making the same paycheck and waiting month
upon month for medical treatment. In place of
ruining America why don’t you malcontents simply
get a head start on things and go live in Venezuela
or Somalia or Greece or Europe or Honduras or
Mexico or California....well, you get the picture.
That’s it for now folks. Thanks for listening.

Some schools that are no more
By Mike Brandt
Since the first state tournament in 1911 to now
a lot has changed. At first all schools in Montana that
had basketball programs played for the championship.
Sixteen teams met in Bozeman. After winning an
opening round winners drew lots to determine their
next opponent.
A game consisted of two 15-minute halves with
only two referees for the tournament, working 15
games. Price of a ticket was $1.50. Billings won the first
state champions, which was a true state tournament,
defeating Anaconda 27-20.
There were 24 games in the state tournament in
1912 with Anaconda whipping Kalispell 49-13. Hauser,
who scored over 90 points in four games, fired in 38
points for the Copperheads.
There were 25 games the third year and 31 the
fourth. Sweet Grass (Big Timber) won the 1913 title,
26-14, over Billings. Sweet Grass wasn’t supposed to
be at the tournament but team from the north was
snowbound.
Great Falls scored 108 points in a first round game
in 1914, allowing Terry only two points. Helena won the
title with a 17-16 win over Missoula.
Butte was the first team to win back-top-back
championships, winning in 1924 and 25. Billings did it
the next two years.
Since the start of basketball we have seen schools
close their doors or co-op with other school(s). Don’t
be too surprised of some of the towns that had schools.
Pony, southwest of Twin Bridges, played in the 1913
state tournament. Fort Peck also had a high school.
After the high school portion closed the kids went to
Nashua or Glasgow. Fort Peck continued with the grade
and junior high school, but it to closed years later with
the students going to Nashua.
The Klein Bears won the 1942 Class B championship
with a 41-32 win over Wolf Point. The Bears then played
Billings for the All-State crown, losing the gamed 48-
38. Klein is located outside of Roundup on the way to
Billings.
Bearcreek is near Red Lodge where the Bearcats
won the 1939 Class b crown with a 44-34 win over
Brockton. The Bearcats were third in 1932.
Another school that played sports was Hogeland,
which is east of Harlem, played in the District 3C. Now
the kids go to Turner.
Miles City had three schools, Sacred Heart
Shamrocks, Pine Hills and Miles City High School.
Anaconda also had a catholic school, St. Peters Saints,
as did Lewistown, St. Leo’s Trojans. Havre Central,
Bozeman Holy Rosary Bulldogs, Helena Central
Cougars, Helena Cathedral all had high schools.
Stockett, near Great Falls, Virginia City, Dixon
Demons, Buffalo Bison and St. Charles played in state
tournaments. Virginia City school is now the city
office. Buffalo is between Lewistown and Harlowton
and Dixon is near Missoula. St. Charles is still holding
school for grade and junior high. It is on the Big Horn
reservation in Pryor near Busby.
Some of the smaller schools now co-op or joined
together as one school. Joplin Bulldogs and Inverness
Cardinals joined as J-I in 1982 and are now co-op with
Chester (2005). Hingham Rangers, Gildford Broncs,
Kremlin Foxes, Rudyard Panthers are all since combined.
There was Blue Sky but since changed to North Star on
the hi-line. Rudyard and Hingham joined as Blue Sky in
1981. Kremlin and Gildford joined as K-G KouGars in
1972. Blue Sky and K-G then formed as North Star in
2005.
Edgar Wildcats has closed its high school with
students going to Fromberg and Bridger. Clyde Park
and Wersall is now Shields Valley. Winnett and Grass
Range has also co-oped.
After the Antelope school burned down the students
went to Plentywood. Peerless and Flaxville students go
to Scobey, while Outlook goes to Plentywood. Westby
and Grenora, North Dakota formed a co-op to be called
Mon-Dak. Medicine Lake and Froid co-oped as did
Lambert and Richey.
Harlowton won the state C championship with
a 44-39 win over Roundup in 1964. Former Nashua
football coach and educator and current Fort Peck
mayor John Jones played on the team. Jones brought
winning football seasons back to Nashua.
For a while in the 1960s and 70s the Porcupines
failed to have any winning seasons. I remember games
with Plentywood, Fairview, Baker and Circle; those
teams were scoring 50 points of more on Nashua.
Plentywood would have scored over 100 points in one
game, but had some touchdowns called back. Scores
were 76-0, 86-0, 66-0; it didn’t get any worse than that.
Back in the 1940s and 50s Nashua was dominant
in football, winning championships. The Porcupines
won the Eastern Montana state championship, but lost
the state championship. Back then the teams in the east
played for the state title, while the teams in the west had
its own state title game. The winners would then play
for the state crown.
