The legend of Johnny Appleseed presented in Opheim
The Missoula Children’s Theatre
actors were in Opheim the week
of February 28 through March 4th
working with the Opheim School
children as they prepared to present
“Johnny Appleseed”! After working
all week the play was presented on
Friday, March 4th at 6:00 p.m. in the
School Gym.
They say an apple never falls far
from the tree, and we have Johnny,
aka Young Johnny played by John
Yeska and Old Johnny played by
James Landles and his pals, the Apple
Seeds played by Kyra Landles, Becca
Miller and Sadie Solberg, to thank for
an ample abundance of apple trees!
Johnny and his little buddies
played by Alice Schock and T. J.
Miller, , traveled across the land on
foot, making friends with Grampa
played by Tour Actor/Director
Marshall Bailey, Sir Peter Prescott
and his family, Molly played by
Maria Landles, Kelly played by Dylon
Allestad and Sarah played by Lana
Mason, Captain Lewis played by
Cayson Hall and Captain Clark played
by Tour Director/Actor Emily Hohler,
a Pioneer played by Kolby Pankratz,
the Fife and Drum played by Orrin
Mason and Caiden Hall and critters
played by Dezi Landles and Colton
Miller, and sleeping under the stars.
Their delicious, heartwarming
adventures yielded orchards full of
juicy, delectable fruit that took a
crunchy bite out of hungry tummies
across the west. Even a grumbly a
Wolf played by Sheila Mason and a
Bison, who didn’t want to be called a
buffalo, played by Anthony Landles
won over by the sweet taste of the
apples and the kindness of friends.

The tale of Johnny Appleseed is a
tasty reminder that kindness is at the
core of friendship.
Mrs. Donette Johnson was the
piano accompanist. She also hosted
the MCT Directors/Actors for the
week.
A special thank you goes out to
Nina Walstad and the Bob Tokerud
family for their monetary memorials
in memory of former Opheim
Supt., Harold Tokerud, to help bring
MCT to the Opheim School and the
National Endowment for the Arts,
supported in part by a grant from the
Montana Arts Council, an agency of
the State Government and the Dennis
and Phyllis Washington Foundation
for their generous grant. Thanks to
the Opheim Staff for their flexibility,
to the participants and their families
for all of their help.

Scotties earn first trip to state since ’97, taking on the Fillies
It has been over two decades
since Glasgow has had a girls’
basketball team play in a State Class
B tournament. The last time Glasgow
had a team at state was 1997. year
Malta defeated Glasow 70-60 for the
championship at MSU-Billings.
This year the state tournament
is at MSU-Bozeman at Brick
Breeden Fieldhouse starting
Thursday. Glasgow will play at 3:30
p.m. against Southern B Divisional
champions Colstrip. The Fillies
bring in a 21-1 record and are riding
a 20-game winning streak, which
includes three wins over defending
state champions Big Timber.
First-year coach Cami Graham
noted that Colstrip is an aggressive
ball club.
“They have five solid players
and only play six players, but
they’re real solid and they play very
aggressive ball,” she said, adding that
her girls will need to slow the game
down. “We need to s;ow it down a
little bit and not get into their game
of running it. And as long as we
take care of the ball and execute the
offense and be in control and make
sure the tempo stays in our favor,
then we will be just fine.”
The Egan sisters, Bailey and
Malea, lead the Fillies. Both average
in double-digit scoring.
The Scotties, at least most of them
know what the Fieldhouse is like to
play in. They have been there twice
for volleyball.
“They know the place and
atmosphere, so they’re not going in
there blind,” said Graham. “They’re
super excited for the opportunity. I
think they will go in and play hard.”
Glasgow (17-8) earned a trip
to the big dance the hard way. The
Scotties had to battle back through
the loser out bracket where they
won three straight games, the last
one a 40-38 victory over Fairfield.
The Eagles kept the Scotties from
a state tournament berth last year,
defeating Glasgow in a semifinal
game. Fairfield finished second after
losing to Malta. Since Glasgow had
already played Fairfield the Scotties
could not challenge. This year the
Northern B Divisional took three
teams to state.
“The girls came around and
really stepped up. It wasn’t the easy
route but they never gave up and had
some obstacles thrown at them,”
said Graham. “The pushed through
to the very end.”
Glasgow was on the ropes
when Tori Jones gave the Eagles a
38-37 lead with 18 seconds left in
the consolation game in Cut Bank.
Sabrina Harsh scored in the paint
with 10 seconds to play. Fairfield
still had plenty of time to get a shot
and win the game. But the Eagles
missed the bucket twice with Tyann
Graham grabbing the rebound on
the second miss. The senior was
fouled with very little time left on
the clock. She made the first free
throw but missed the next with the
Eagles getting the rebound. But the
Eagles couldn’t get a shot off as time
ran out.
“That free throw, (Tyann)
thought about it and looked over
to see if she should miss it,” said
Graham. “But by time they got the
rebound it was over.”
Both teams struggled
throughout the game. They had
played a tough game in the morning.
Fairfield did have more time to rest
up since the Eagles played the early
game that morning and the Scotties
had the 11 a.m. game.
“You could tell it was our second
game of the day,” said Graham. “The
shots were a little bit short for both
teams. But they pushed through and
had a lot of heart and finished the
game. I was really proud of them.
That’s not easy to do.”
Daley Aune led the Scotties
with 12 points, Harsh had a double-
double with 11 points and 10
rebounds, Abrianna Nielsen had
eight points, Westby four, Graham
three, and Carly Nelson two.
Glasgow’s road through the
loser out bracket started Friday
afternoon when the Scotties met
Shelby. The Scotties scored the final
four buckets for a 56-24 victory.
Glasgow ran out to a 13-0 lead in
the first quarter and led 15-6 at the
end of the frame. Glasgow led by
20 midway through the second and
held a 34-16 lead at the break and
48-21 after three.
Nielsen went 8 for 15 from
the field to lead the Scotties with
17 points. Aune followed with 13
points, Nelson had 10, Harsh six,
Graham and Tatum Nyquist four
each, and Brielle Partridge two.
“Shelby put two girls on Blaire
and Tyann, which left Abrianna
open and she really stepped up
and hit those shots,” said Graham.
“That was a big game for her and us
confidence-wise.”
The win put the Scotties into
an 11 a.m. game against rival Wolf
Point Saturday morning. The last
time these two met the Wolves took
advantage of the Scotties’ poor free
throw shooting in a 50-45 loss in
the District 2B semifinal game. This
time around it was Glasgow hitting
free throws and Wolf Point missing
at the foul line. The Scotties finished
hitting 57 percent from the line,
while the Wolves were just barely
over 30 percent.
“That was a big game for us.
They knocked us off at district so the kids wanted this
game pretty bad,” said Graham. “They really stepped up
in some really rough conditions.”
Glasgow had a great start, leading the Wolves most
of the first half and 33-20 at intermission. The Wolves
came out in the third period to go on an 8-0 run. Wolf
Point’s defense held the Scotties scoreless until the 3:43
mark. Harsh scored two buckets for the Scotties. Wolf
Point trailed 4-31 going into the fourth and managed to
get to within five, but the Scotties wouldn’t break as they
hung on for a 57-52 win.
Aune fired in a game-high 23 points to pace the
Scotties, Harsh followed with 16, Graham had 10,
Nelson four, Nielsen and Westby two each. Josie Kolstad
had 15 for the Wolves.
Malta ran out to a 28-18 halftime lead en route to
winning its second straight divisional championship
with a 53-40 win over Harlem. The M-ettes led by 19 in
the fourth.
Allison Kunze led Malta with 19 points, while
Addy Anderson had 14. Taya Trottier had 17 and Emma
Billmeyer 12 for Harlem.
Zerbe gets nod for state
By Mike Brandt
Montana High School coaches have turned in their
choices for the state tournament referees. Eastern
Montana has a few that will be making calls at the eight
high school state tournaments.
Former Lustre Christian athlete Clayton Zerbe will work
the Class B girls tournament. Jeff Kent of Wolf Point
and Poplar’s Scott McGowan are working the Class A
boys, Lonnie Swigart of Sidney the Class A girls, veteran
official Tim Polk will work the Class C boys, and Brock
Copenhaven of Wolf Point and Nate Creek of Sidney
are in Great Falls to work the Class C girls tournament.
Eastern Montana has had some great referees in
the past and a few have been inducted into the Montana
Official Association Hall Of Fame.
The 1986 class included Scobey’s Cliff Hagfeldt. In
1987 Carl ``Swede” Fahlgren of Malta was in that class
to be inducted. Glasgow educator and coach Norm
Girard was in the 2009 class. Plentywood’s Dave Zieske
was in the 2010 class, and Marvin Qualley of Froid was
in the 2017 class.
Valley County has a great group of referees working
football, volleyball and basketball games, and Fort Peck
Mayor and referee Johnny Jones is the best javelin
catcher at track & field meets of all time.
A TRUE EYE OPENER!!
(Larraine Eiland isn’t sure who wrote the following, but
ran across it and wanted to share it with Buzz readers.)
A friend came to my house for coffee, we sat down
and talked about life. After a while I interrupted the
conversation and said to him, “I’m going to wash the
dishes, I’ll be right back.”
He looked at me like I told him he was going to
build a spaceship. So he said to me with admiration and
a little stumped, “Glad you help your wife, I rarely help
mine because when I do she never thanks me. Last week
I washed the floor and she didn’t even tell me thank
you.”
I sat back down with him again and explained
to him that I don’t “help” my wife. Actually, my wife
doesn’t need help, she needs a partner, a teammate. I’m
her home partner… and due to that, all functions are
divided, which is not “help” with household chores.
I don’t “help” my wife clean the house, because I
also live in it and I need to clean it too.
I don’t “help” my wife cook, because I also want to
eat and I need to cook too. I don’t “help” her washing
dishes after eating, because I use these dishes too. I don’t
“help” my wife with kids, because they are mine too and
it’s my duty to be a father.
I don’t “help” my wife wash, extend, fold, and put
away laundry, because it’s mine and my kids too.
I don’t give a “helping hand” at home, I’m part of it.
Then with respect I asked my friend when was
the last time after his wife finished cleaning the house,
doing laundry, changing the bed sheets, bathing the kids,
cooking, organizing, etc… and did he say: “thank you?”
I mean a real thank you, like, “Wow, baby!! You’re
amazing!!”
Does this all seem absurd? Does it sound weird to
you? When, once in your life, you cleaned the floor, you
expected at least an excellence award with great glory…
why? Haven’t you ever thought about that?
Maybe, because for you, macho culture taught you
that everything is a woman’s task.
Maybe you’ve been taught that all this should be
done without you having to move a finger.
So praise her as you would like to be praised,
likewise, with the same intensity. Hold her hand and
behave like a true companion, and assume your part,
don’t behave like a guest who simply comes to eat, sleep,
shower and satisfy needs… feel at home, in your home.
Change in our society begins in our homes,
teaching our children the true sense of fellowship!

About the Reverend Johnny Appleseed
John Chapman (September
26, 1774 – March 18, 1845), better
known as Johnny Appleseed, was
an American pioneer nurseryman
who introduced apple trees to
large parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Ontario,
as well as the northern counties
of present-day West Virginia.
He became an American legend
while still alive, due to his kind,
generous ways, his leadership in
conservation, and the symbolic
importance he attributed to apples.
The popular image is of
