Wrapping up the Teddy Bear Toss

The goal was to collect 200 stuffed animals at the Third
Annual Teddy Bear Toss held February 2nd when the
Glasgow Scotties hosted the North Country Mavericks
in basketball. The Glasgow Student Council (STUCO)
held their first toss three years ago when the Mavericks
came to town. In the first toss fans tossed 120 stuffed
animals onto the floor, followed by 150 last year. This
year a new record was set with 244 stuffed cuddly
critters tossed. STUCO wrapped up the event by
bagging them up and getting them delivered. 30 were
donated to Phillips County Hospital, 50 to Glasgow’s
FMDH, and the rest go to St Vincent hospital in Billings.
They are given to children that spend the night in the
hospital. Thanks to all who tossed a Teddy!

The lead muley already cleared the high jump and watches closely as another one
makes the attempt. For many, mule deer are among the most beloved and iconic
wildlife of the American West. These deer are found west of the Missouri River.
Mule deer are adapted to arid, rocky environments. They thrive in habitats that
have a combination of early-stage plant growth, mixed-species plant communities,
and diverse and extensive shrub growth. Plants that are young and emerging are
more nutritious than mature trees and shrubs. Mule deer are browsers, feeding
on herbaceous plants and the leaves and twigs of woody shrubs. Mule deer are
selective feeders. They must select the most nutritious plants and parts of plants.
Because of this, mule deer have more specific forage requirements than cattle or
elk that share their habitat. Yep, it’s been a tough winter on the critters, but they
seem to be surviving okay. And hopefully they don’t taste like sage brush come
next fall’s hunting season. photo by Jacky Dyrland

A well-worn one dollar bill and a similarly

distressed twenty dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve
Bank to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor
belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation.
The twenty dollar bill reminisced about its travels all
over the county. “I’ve had a pretty good life,” the twenty
proclaimed. “Why I’ve been to Las Vegas and Atlantic
City, the finest restaurants in New York, performances
on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean.”
“Wow!” said the one dollar bill. “You’ve really had
an exciting life!”
“So tell me,” says the twenty, “where have you been
throughout your lifetime?”
The one dollar bill replies, “Oh, I’ve been to the
Methodist Church, the Baptist Church, the Lutheran
Church, the Catholic Church...”
The twenty dollar bill interrupts, “What’s a church?”
