From a town rich on values and community comes our ‘Spotlight on Business’ which highlights a business, gives emphasis on their contributions to our community and remembers their history.
Although Cowboy Designs is only in their third year of business, they continue to impact the community with their support for the Conrad teams by creating team spirit in fashion.
Cowboy Designs is owned and operated by Terry and Rachel Kinamon who started the business after purchasing equipment from the Stitching Station which was owned by Greg and Tammy Stuart. Previous to starting Cowboy Designs, Rachel was a baker for six years. Her creativity continues on through her design work in embroidery and screen printing.

Wrapped, sealed and delivered, just in time for Christmas, the city council moved to raise the water rates Monday evening.
Despite a number of people being on hand to protest the raise in the water rates, plus written comments, aldermen passed a rate increase of a 4-0 vote.
Former mayor John Shevlin informed a group of dissenters, “You shouldn’t be upset with the people at the table (council) but more so with the EPA and DEQ who charge and implement excessive charges for testing.”
Mayor Wendy Judisch commented, “Water rates can only be used for water, not to fix streets or anything else.”
There has been no increase in water rates since 2007. The new rates will go into effect with the January billing.

Tom Hoover of Valier was on hand to meet with commissioners at their Wednesday morning business meeting.
He requested the county execute the lease agreement with the Town of Valier so a Babe Ruth baseball complex-recreation project could move forward.
The complex will be situated on county-owned property on the edge of the Valier airport.
Commissioner Cynthia Johnson noted that the description is incorrect in the lease agreement and they had notified Mayor Graye and have not received a correct agreement.
She told Hoover she would follow-up and contact the mayor for a corrected agreement.
Hoover told the commissioners, “We have had overwhelming support for the baseball field for Babe Ruth.”
Commissioner Sandy Broesder moved to approve the lease agreement, pending correction of the land description and final approval by Mary Ann Ries, the county attorney. With a second by Joe Christiaens the motion passed on a 3-0 vote.
At 10 a.m. a public auction was held on the courthouse steps to sell two cattle guards that had been declared surplus property.
