Somer Hoerster in a sea of Scotty ponytails in her first year as head coach of the Glasgow Scotties in 2018.
Volleyball Coach Hoerster steps down after 12 years
By Mike Brandt
There are times when family
comes first and that is one reason a
coach decides to step aside. That is
the case for Glasgow volleyball coach
is Somer Hoerster. The GHS grad and
former Scotty standout has decided
to step aside and give up her varsity
coaching job.
Hoerster returned to her alma
mater where she has been a coach for
the Glasgow Scotties volleyball team
for the past 12 years. She took over the
varsity program four years ago.
Hoerster has high school boys
participating in sports and would like
to support them. However, coaching
volleyball takes up her time and she
is often gone Friday nights when the
Dawgs football team is playing a home
game.
KJ Ingram, a sophomore and
Aiden Hoerster, a junior, are both
members of the Glasgow football

team. Carter Hoerster, a sophomore,
and Kiegan Ingram, a junior, play
basketball with the other two boys.
Somer Hoerster would like to
follow their games, but the coaching
volleyball team at times has her away
at the tournaments.
“I’ve put so much of my life
toward this sport,” said Hoerster. “I’ve
spent 12 years with the Scotties and
two in Nashua. I’ve been doing this

Coach Hoerstercontinued from front
15 years and I’m 43-years old. To look back on that, I’ve
put so much of my life into this sport, it is hard to say
good-bye. I don’t think there is a good time to leave. I
only have two and a half years with my kids in my house.
Sometimes you have to make those decisions where it
hurts, and I had some younger kids that were pretty upset
when I told them I wasn’t coming back — and that broke
my heart. I don’t want to feel like I’m leaving anybody
hanging. I do want to please people if I can, but I do have
to put my kids and my family first.”
Being a varsity coach also takes up a lot of time
for a coach. Hoerster, the branch manager of Glasgow’s
Independence Bank, said she has to use half of her
vacation time from work when she has a road game
or tournament to go to. For example, the Choteau
Tournament she would need two days of vacation. That
would be the same for the Dickinson Tournament. And
for the District Tournament there would be another day
and for the Divisional two or three days. If the team
makes it to the state tournament then there would be
three days.
Hoerster wasn’t complaining because she enjoys
coaching volleyball. That is the sport she excelled in when
her folks moved the Guenther Family to Glasgow from
Havre. Somer was a sophomore when she came to the
Bonnie City. She played on the Glasgow volleyball team
that was the first Scotty team to win a state championship.
Somer was a senior on that 1996 Class B team. A team
captain, Somer was an All-State player her senior year.
“As a sophomore we took fourth at state,” said
Hoerster. “My junior year we went to Missoula and got
third. We lost out to Choteau and that stung a little bit.
At that moment us seniors decided we didn’t want to feel
like that again. So that next year we went on a run. We
went 44 and 2 and won it. We won it the hard way.”
Glasgow lost the semifinal match and had to come
through the loser out bracket where the Scotties played
in the fourth place match, followed by the third place
match. The Scotties had to win two championships in
order to claim the title.
“It’s nice to have been a part of all of that,” Hoerster
said. “Now it’s time for a different chapter in my life.”
Who knows, Somer Hoerster may return after all of
her kids are out of school. But, she will then be thinking
about vacation with her husband Brandon. Whether
she returns or not, it’s been fun talking to her about the
Scotties, and I think all the Scotty volleyball fans can
congratulate her on a fine career — on the court as a
player and later as a coach on the sidelines. It was a job
well done!

Graham named girls’ hoop coach
By Mike Brandt
A former Terry Terrier has stepped in as the Glasgow
Scotties girls’ basketball coach. Cami Graham takes over for
Travis Nielsen after serving as his assistant the last five years.
Graham takes over a sound program that Nielsen built.
The Scotties finished third at the Northern B Divisional last
season but missed a trip to the state tournament as only two
from the north advanced to the state tournament.
Graham spent time in South Dakota before coming to
Glasgow.
“I played basketball in Terry and in Williston (college),”
Graham said. “I’ve been an assistant coach in different places.
The move here was to get closer to my family. We were in
Rapid City before I came here.”
The Scotties return a veteran squad with three seniors
returning — Tyann Graham, Blaire Westby and Abrianna
Nielsen.
“They have played together for a long time and do a
great job,” said Coach Graham.
Glasgow also has two juniors who saw lots of playing
time, Daley Aune and Carly Nelson. Also listed on the roster
with very little varsity experience are Brielle Partridge, Aspen
Stulc and Stevie Hartwell, juniors, and sophomore Tatun
Nyquist.
“I have some great juniors,” said Graham. “Daley
has a lot of varsity experience and Carly has some varsity
experience. They will do really good for us this year. And we
have others that are stepping in. It should be fun.”
Aune stepped into a starting position when senior Riley
Noser had a career-ending injury late in the season. Noser’s
injury also gave Nelson more playing time.
“We have great numbers with 30 players,” Graham said.
“They are all working hard and I have a good coaching staff.”
Jami Hughes and Corie Love are two of the assistants
and former Malta and Lady Griz standout Linda (Cummings)
Hudyma, who led the M-Ettes to state titles, has also been
helping out.
“Jami and I have been together for a long time,” Graham
said. “Corie is the fifth grade teacher and Linda has been
helping. We have a great staff.”
There will be some changes, but the players know
Graham so the coaching change will not hurt the program.
“We’re changing things up a little bit, but just the basics,” said
Graham. “We’re going to set a lot of screens on offense. We’re
going to push the ball a little bit. That’s a little different for us.
But it’s a good group of kids.”
There will be a change in defense as well.
“Defensively, we want to press the ball more,”Graham
said. “We’re going to mix things up a little bit. We will see
how that goeds.”
One of the goals that teams always set is to play in
the state tournament and with the Scotties volleyball team
making the trip to state this year that may be a great incentive.
“Definitely. They got a taste of state so that helps and
that’s a goal they want for the next sport,” Graham said.
“Walking into a state tournament is something that you can’t
describe and with them doing that in volleyball that really
helps them. They’re taking three teams out of our division
this year. We definitely want to be one of those top three
teams,”
Just in case readers are wondering, Tyann is Coach
Graham’s daughter. She also has a son in seventh grade.
Glasgow has had other coaches coaching their children.
Nielsen coached his daughters. Track coach Tim Phillips
coached his son and boys basketball coach Paul Yoakam will
get a chance to coach his son.
“It shouldn’t be bad. She works really hard and is
coachable,” said Graham. “We have a good relationship and
she listens.”
The District 2B should be tough again with Malta
probably the top team.
As is usually the case, “Malta is definiteley the team to
beat, but there are a couple other teams that put a lot of time
in this summer,” said Graham. “I think Wolf Point is going
to be good. I think Harlem is going to be better than some
expect. Poplar played a lot this summer. There’s not going to
be any team that’s going to be super easy. They have played a
lot more this summer than before.”
The Scotties went to some tournaments but not as many
as Graham would like as she was dealing with some injuries.
“We didn’t go to as many as we have in the past because we
had some injuries we had to deal with,” Graham noted. “We
still got to a few.”
Westby has struggled with a foot injury that hampered
her in track.
“She’s still struggling with her foot, but she’s strong and
gritty,” said Graham. “She took the summer off. Abrianna
also has a foot injury that has been lingering.”
Graham said she is excited for the season to start. And
after all of the practices the players are eager to play against
some new faces, which they’ll do in Wolf Point tonight at
6:00 followed by the varsity boys.

Excerpt from Conrad Black’s
article, America Gone Mad
(Published October 26, 2021) After three weeks
in Europe and extensive discussions with dozens of
well-informed and highly placed individuals from
most of the principal Western European countries,
including leading members of the British government,
I have the unpleasant duty of reporting complete
incomprehension and incredulity at what Joe Biden
and his collaborators encapsulate in the peppy but
misleading phrase, “We’re back.”
As one eminent elected British government official
put it, “They are not back in any conventional sense of
that word. We have worked closely with the Americans
for many decades and we have never seen such a
shambles of incompetent administration, diplomatic
incoherence, and complete military ineptitude as
we have seen in these nine months. We were startled
by Trump, but he clearly knew what he was doing,
whatever we or anyone else thought about it. This is
just a disintegration of the authority of a great nation
for no apparent reason.”
Conrad Black has been one of Canada’s most
prominent financiers for 40 years, and was one of the
leading newspaper publishers in the world as owner
of the British telegraph newspapers, the Fairfax
newspapers in Australia, the Jerusalem Post, Chicago
Sun-Times and scores of smaller newspapers in the
U.S., and most of the daily newspapers in Canada. He
is the author of authoritative biographies of Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Richard Nixon, one-volume
histories of the United States and Canada, and most
recently of Donald J. Trump: A President Like No
Other. He is a member of the British House of Lords
as Lord Black of Crossharbour.

Peek-a-Boo
Among the cutest little critters at ZooMontana in
Billings are the red pandas. It is unique in the fact
that they are one of just a few facilities to house both
subspecies of red pandas. Considered a living fossil,
the red panda (Ailurus fulgens) is a carnivoran native
to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China.
It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List
because the wild population is estimated at fewer than
10,000 mature individuals and continues to decline
due to habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and
inbreeding depression. Despite its name, it is not
closely related to the giant panda. The red panda has
reddish-brown fur, a long, shaggy tail, and a waddling
gait due to its shorter front legs; it is roughly the size
of a domestic cat, though with a longer body and
their big, bushy tails add an additional 18 inches. It is
arboreal and feeds mainly on bamboo, but also eats
eggs, birds, and insects. It is a solitary animal, mainly
active from dusk to dawn, and is largely sedentary
during the day. It is also called the lesser panda, the
red bear-cat, the red cat-bear,[4] and the fire fox. The
red panda is the only living member of the genus
Ailurus and the family Ailuridae. It has previously
been placed in the raccoon and bear families, but
the results of phylogenetic analysis provide strong
support for its taxonomic classification in its own
family, Ailuridae, which is part of the superfamily
Musteloidea, along with the weasel, raccoon and
skunk families. Predators of the red panda include
the snow leopard (Panthera uncia), mustelids, and
humans. If they feel threatened or sense danger, they
may try to escape by climbing a rock column or tree. If
they can no longer flee, they stand on their hind legs
to make themselves appear larger and use the sharp
claws on their front paws to defend themselves. The
red panda has a naturally low birth rate (usually one
single or twin birth per year), and a high death rate
in the wild.

build me a box dat is two inches high, two inches vide,
and fifty foot long?”
“Hmm ...” mused the carpenter. “It could be done, I
suppose, but what would you want a box like that for?”
“Vell, you see,” said Ole, “my neighbor Lars moved

his garden hose.”

A funeral service is being held in a synagogue for
a woman who has just passed away. At the end of the
service, the pall bearers are carrying the casket out when
they accidentally bump into a wall jarring the casket.
They hear a faint moan. They open the casket and
find that the woman is actually alive. She lives for 10
more years and then dies. A ceremony is again held at
the same synagogue and at the end of the ceremony the
pall bearers are again carrying the casket. As they are
walking the husband cries out, “Watch out for the wall!”

The conference call meeting was
held with the Water/Sewer District, Great
West Engineering, USDA, SRF, and other
State and Federal folks involved with
securing Grants to repair and replace the
water mains, fire hydrants, water tower,
and associated valves and equipment
in St.Marie. It went well but some had
reservations on our weak financials.
Terry Kolpin was online and sent them
our first quarter ending results- $16,000 in
the black after all bills were paid. I added
that we passed Resolutions to modify old
policies that did not serve todays current
needs. I added that the Board is trying
to cut costs and increase income. How?
By going civil action instead of liens in
collecting bad debt, by supplying water
to investors units with a payment plan on
old liens while paying full hookup and
monthly costs (old policy denied water
to those in arrears), by reducing overhead
costs in all areas, by utilizing “as needed”
labor and doing more inhouse repairs,
by tighter management in all areas while
allowing flexability with the best qualified
and certified staff creating stability, and
the last thing...building a strong Board...
those with experience in corporate,
business, legal, and management culture...
those Board Directors that can relate to
Federal, State, County, Local Banks and
Businesses, Customers, Investors, and
Office Manager and Certified Operator.
We have 2 lawyers and an insurance/
