One has to give the Sc –
obey High School girls' vol – leyball team a lot of credit: they came as close as pos – sible to qualify for the East C Divisional Tournament in Sidney and Fairview starting today (Thursday, November
5) and running through Sat – urday.
District 1C, where the Spartans finished fifth place out of 12 teams during the regular season, takes the top
five teams from its confer –
ence tourney to the division – al tourney: Scobey finished in sixth place.
It didn't help when se – nior Ryleigh Backman, a presence along the net for blocking and kill-shot pur poses, was told she had to
go into a 14-day quarantine because she came in contact
with someone who tested
positive for COVID-19. She immediately called her head coach, Melissa Holum, to tell her the bad news
four hours before the Spar tans were to play the Lus-
tre Christian Lions on their home court Tuesday, Octo – ber 27, in the first round of the tourney.
Even though the Spar tans swept the Lions they
wisely weren't going to use Backman's absence as an excuse throughout the rest of the tourney, because they understand in the world of sports at any level it is, in
this case, next girl up! The win pitted the Spar – tans against fourth-seeded Fairview, with the Warriors hosting Thursday, October 29, and winning 25-18, 25- 17, 20-25, 25-23. The loss put the Spar – tans in an elimination match against the Culbertson Cow – girls, with it taking place in the Scobey School large gym Friday, October 30. The Spartans trailed
13-8 in game one, knotted it
at 13 then led 22-15. When the Cowgirls sent a shot into the net it was 25-17 for the home team.
During the 3-minute break in between the end of game one and the start of game two, the Spartans were back on the court with 1:55 left, which seemed to send the message "We're ready to win this!" It looked like they were
going to by racing to a 6-1
lead but the game began to
tighten. What followed were ties at 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 16, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25 and 26 with four lead changes sprinkled throughout. The Cowgirls went ahead 27-26 and a tip none of the Spar – tans could reach fell to the floor making it 1-all in the matchup.
Game three was knotted
at 6-6 before Scobey began
pulling away, its largest lead
being 19-10 on Carrie Tay – lor's block in an eventual 25-14 win for a 2-1 advan – tage.
The Spartans took an early lead in game four be – fore the Cowgirls came back
to keep it close. Ties at 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 18 followed be – fore Culbertson went ahead 19-18 and 20-18 on back-toback service aces. Then the Cowgirls tallied twice more to lead by four points, sug – gesting a game five was in the making.
It was not.
Scobey battled back to knot it at 24, fell behind 25-24 then scored three straight points to win 27-25 to ad – vance to Saturday's fifthplace game.
At the same time in
Savage, the sixth-seeded Warriors were hosting the seventh-seeded Richey-Lambert Fusion. The visi – tors pulled off a 3-0 sweep to earn a do-or-die match in Scobey on Saturday at 6, with the winner placing fifth and advancing to the divi sional tourney and the other
to begin working on its free throws.
In a 6:05 p.m. start the Spartans and Fusion swapped the lead a few times with ties and 3, 4 and 8 before Scobey pulled away with a Whitley Maher hit making it 16-9. Richey- Lambert charged back to
knot it at 18 and did not trail
again despite Scobey tying it at 20 and 21. The visitors pulled away for a 25-22 win.
Game two was about the same as game one with ties at 1, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 until the Fusion began cre – ating some space. It led by as much as 8 points on two occasions (22-14 and 23-15) before claiming a 25-18 win and 2-0 advantage.
It was a tall task, even on
one's home floor, as Scobey
had to win the next three
games or it would be over.
Richey-Lambert took the early lead but an ace by Gracee Lekvold followed by a Kasslyn Baldry block equaled it at 5. The Fusion continued to stay on top but the Spartans kept fighting, knotting it at 10, taking the
lead at 11-10 and then fall – ing back into another tie at 11. From there the Fusion gradually began pulling
away and eventually com – pleted the sweep with a 25-17 win the 72-minute match.
The Spartans finished the season at 6-6 in 1C regular season play and 8-9 overall. In the 7-team District 2C Tournament, where the top three teams join the top five from the District 1C at the East C Divisional Tournament in Sidney and Fairview, the Powder River County (Broadus) Hawks pulled off a tremendous comeback to win it all. After getting dumped 14-25, 25-15, 25-21, 25-22 by Wibaux in Thursday's first round, the Hawks strung together a 6-match winning streak to come out on top. The Hawks defeated the Plevna Cougars 25-10, 25-4, 25-10, Carter County (Ekal – aka) Bulldogs 26-24, 25-10, 25-20 and Wibaux Long – horns 19-25, 25-17, 22-25, 25-18, 16-14 on Friday. Saturday was another 3-match day for the Hawks but they certainly soared to great heights. First they knocked off the Circle Wild – cats 25-17. 18-25, 15-25, 25-18, 15-13 in the thirdplace match. Next came a 25-16, 25-8, 25-7 win over the Garfield County (Jor – dan) Mustangs in the first championship match fol – lowed by a 25-22, 25-19, 25-18 sweep in the second championship match. The Hawks outscored their op –
ponents 590-448. The first-round pair –
ings at the East C Divi – sional Tournament for today (Thursday, November 5) are: Froid-Lake (14-3) ver – sus Circle (13-4) in Sidney at 10 a.m. and Plentywood (20-0) versus Richey-Lam – bert (12-7) in Fairview at 10 a.m.; Broadus (14-5) versus Fairview (11-4) at 1 p.m. in Sidney and Jordan (10-4) versus North Coun – try (14-4) in Fairview at 1 p.m. Also on Thursday, the winners will play at 4 p.m. in Fairview and Sidney and the non-winners at 7 p.m. in Fairview and Sidney.
All of Friday's and Sat –
urday 's matches are sched uled to be played in the
Sidney High School gymna – sium.
The top two finishers advance to the state tourna – ment, which was originally scheduled November 5-7 as the All-Class State Tour – nament at Brick Breeden Fieldhouse on the campus of Montana State Univer – sity in Bozeman. Now it will be broken up into four (Classes AA, A, B and C) separate tournaments at dif – ferent venues and cities. The Montana High School Asso – ciation Executive Board was scheduled to meet Wednes –
day, November 4, to deter –
mine in what cities and ven ues those state tourneys will
be played.

Last week’s mileage champion in the Montana High School Association football playoffs was Sidney’s 596mile one-way trek to Hamilton. The Thompson Falls Blue Hawks will eclipse it by 35 when making a 631-mile one-way road trip to Scobey for a quarterfinal Saturday,
November 7, at 1 p.m. against the Spartans. Next farthest travel plans of 551 miles one way this weekend involves the Fairview Warriors heading west to play the Flint Creek Titans on George Mungus Field in Philipsburg, which co-ops with Drummond. How about the shortest? That would be Shields Valley’s one-way 41-mile ride north to White Sulphur Springs in a Class C 6-Player semifinal.

Shawn Brooke, owner
Wayne Waarvik Sr, 88, of Richland, MT passed away Monday, October 26, 2020 of natural causes at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow MT. A private family service was held due to the current Covid circumstances.
Wayne was born in Lustre, Montana on May 30, 1932 to Isak and Christine (Nelson) Waarvik, the youngest of 5 children. He attended the Cottonwood school along with his siblings, Mildred, LeRoy, Raymond and Lincoln through the 8th grade. Horse and sleigh ensured they never missed a day even in the winter.
Wayne started high school in Opheim, staying at a boarding house. He transferred to Nashua for his junior and senior years, graduating in 1951. In Nashua he fell in love with basketball and was a proud team member of the Nashua Por- cupines, winning the first
State Class C championship in 1950. Wayne attended college at MSU Bozeman before returning to work on the family farm.
Isak, Wayne’s father, homesteaded the current farm in 1916 and in 1947 bought all 5 children 5 registered Hereford heifers, originating his love for the breed. In 1956, Wayne bought his first Line 1 bulls
and began his career raising Hereford cattle. Wayne bought part of the farm in 1972 and began raising Line 1 registered Herefords, specializing in breeding bulls.
The highlight of Wayne’s Hereford career was in 1980, when he sold 8 pairs and a bull to a ranch in Texas, and 70 head of bulls and heifers to ranches in Mexico. His tremendous efforts and lifelong achievement were recognized when he was named “Hereford Man of the Year” by the Montana Hereford Association in 2000. Wayne fully retired in 2017, bringing a close to the great era of Wayne Waarvik Herefords.
Over the years there were many challenges and some great stories associated with Wayne Waarvik Herefords.
Once Wayne broke his pelvis, at calving time no less.
He quickly mastered the use of his temporary walker and insisted on going outside.
Finding calves that needed doctoring in the barn, he pinned them against the wall with the walker…it worked quite well.
Wayne had the gift of gab, and if he talked to you long enough, he almost always found a connection to someone he knew. Of course, he couldn’t resist inviting any new-found friend out to visit the farm. On one trip to visit Debbie Dawn in Virginia, he got to talking to another passenger in Minneapolis.
The other passenger enjoyed talking to him so much, he paid to bump Wayne up to first class so they could fin ish their conversation.
Wayne was a proud full-blooded Norwegian and even traveled to Norway to see where his parents were raised and meet his extended family. Raised with a love of dancing, there wasn’t a dance floor in northeast
Montana that Wayne’s boots didn’t grace. Locally, he was a member of Our Saviors Lutheran Church, the Sons of Norway, Elks Club, served on the Northwest Farm Credit board of directors for many years and was a charter member of the Pleasantview Roping Club.
In recent years he spent winters in Yuma Arizona with his partner, Peggy Lingelbach, dancing and playing cards with their numerous friends.
Wayne is survived by his partner, Peggy Lingelbach; six children: Roger (Ruth), Karen, Daryl (Deb), Wayne Jr (Tracey) and their mother Thelma Leraas Bjorklund, all of Glasgow; Debbie Dawn (Darryl) Keating and her mother, Marian Burchak Ludlow, all of Manassas VA; Robert (Jill) of New Braunfels, TX and his mother Lorel Crockett Holmes of Derby Australia. 11 grandchildren: Kristen (Landon Holte) and Sarah (Russell) Waarvik, Brendan (Dubraska) and Mikayla Waarvik, Amanda Powell (Adam) and Trevor (Darcie) Waavik, Isaac and Nora Keating, Christian (Ahna), Jonathan and Sierra Waarvik; 7 great grandchildren: Tristan Powell; Gage, Mason and Gentry Waarvik; Arian Bytyqi; Carter and Henry Holte; nephew Rocky (Michelle) Long; great-nieces: Christy (Sam and Brooklyn) Kushner and Jessica Long.
Wayne is preceded in death by his parents, siblings and grandson Karston Wayne Waarvik.
A memorial service and celebration of life will be held in the spring of 2021.

IT'S ALL NEW! – D.C. Lanes on Scobey's east end has been experiencing a major overhaul since the morning of Thursday, October 22. Out with the old (below) and in with the new such as a new synthetic deck, new gutters, new state-of-the-art scoring system (bottom photo), new bumpers, new lanes and, get this, a new system to prevent gutter balls when the very young start experiencing the sport so they won't become too discouraged early in the process. The company creating all this new-ness is Allied Bowling out of Michigan. "There's always snags so the construction should take about 10 days," said Brandon Kramer of D.C. Lanes. "It's going to be awesome when it's done. The floor, via black lights, will light up. Rock-a-bowling is coming." – Leader Photos, mike
According to an analysis by non-government watchdog Judical Watch, which is about as honest as they come, 353 of the total 3,141 counties in the U.S. located in 29 of the nation’s states already have 1.8 million more registered voters than residents. Dirty voting rolls equal dirty elections. — mike *T*I*P* Ever wonder why 38° (or whatever) feels so cold in the fall and yet pretty warm in the spring? Maybe there is something to that “feels like” term now used in the weather. Weathermen started reporting that information starting in the 70’s to help make things seem bigger news or worse sounding. However, there is science used to calculate that information.
The “Heat Index Calculator” estimates the temperature felt by the body as a result of air temperature and relative humidity. “Wind Chill” describes the rate of heat loss on the body resulting from the combined effect of low temperature and wind.
Inanimate objects cool only to the air temperature, not the ‘feels like’ temperature. This may be an understatement by Captain Obvious, as inanimate objects don’t feel. Wind will help get your water pipes to a low temperature quicker, but not lower that the “actual” temperature. –bb *T*I*P* Spotted was this recent headline: 23.6% of all U.S. Dollars were created in the last year. — mike *T*I*P* If you want to be a true professional, you will do something outside yourself, something to repair tears in your community. Something to make life a little better for people less fortunate than you. That’s what I think a meaningful life is – living not for oneself, but for one’s community. –RBG

*T*I*P* While looking over the October 1, 2020 issue of the Sheridan County News based in Plentywood spotted on page 9 was the obituary of Brenna Kay (nee: Billingsley) Sundby, who passed September 26, 2020 from complications of her 3-year battle with ovarian cancer at age 44. The most significant part of the obit,
in my opinion, was the message she left for all of us still living on this planet. It said: Just recently a colleague reached out to Brenna to ask for advice about hope. Brenna’s response was: “I’ve been making lists in my head of places I see hope. I’ve been trying to prioritize and pick the best examples. All of them boil down to people being nice to each other. Hope isn’t found in rallies, mobs, or arenas as much as hope is found in individuals and small partnerships. Any hope found in a classroom, a gym, or a convention only comes from individuals being kind to each other… I will try to simplify it as much as possible: be nice. I see hope in people being nice to each other.”
That’s great advice… take it! — mike *T*I*P* The powers that be have declared the U.S. Dollar currency — our $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills plus all the coins – is officially contaminated
with the coronavirus and has got go (meaning paper- coin currency out, digital currency via your smart phone ushered in… World Economic Forum in January 2021?). If that is the case then wouldn’t the ban have to also include anything to do with the U.S. Postal Service as there are plenty of coronavi- rus-spreading fingers on all of the mail. How about
doornobs and other enter/exit mechanisms, poker/ keno/lottery machines, elevator buttons, soda/candy vending machines, car-door handles, the pencil when you vote, items in a library (books, newspapers, magazines), a football, basketball or volleyball, and the list can go on and on and on. I’m 100 percent sure the virus isn’t just singling out cash currency. — mike *T*I*P* On Thursday, October 1, 1957 the motto “In God We Trust” began appearing on U.S. paper currency. — mike *T*I*P*
It’s crazy . . . all the kinds of water that are now available. Mineral, spring, smart water, Dry Prairie Water and so many more.
Now it has been confirmed there is water on the sunlit surface of the Moon for the first time. We don't imagine it will be readily available anytime soon. If it does become available try imagine what the transportation costs will be! -bb *T*I*P* Visiting on Monday with someone about what an exciting World Series this has been. I asked if he had been watching. He said, “No, I’m going old school, I listen to it on the radio (ESPN).” He said it’s been excellent coverage on the radio too. “The play-by-play guys do a great job.”
Well, by the time you’re reading this “the cat is in the bag and the bag’s in the river.” –bb *T*I*P*
