The Conrad High School Speech/Drama/Debate team was in Cut Bank this weekend at the Class B Speech and Drama Divisional. The competition was stiff, and, when all the dust had settled, six of the 10 entries will be heading to the state meet in Shepherd this weekend.
One entry from Conrad was unable to compete on Saturday due to illness.
Both Coach Rick Moss and Coach Wayne Reynolds were very excited with the results. Advancing to state will be Erin Awtry, Cassie Robertson, DJ Mecham, Jake Bender, Diedra Mecham and Will Early.
Individual results are: Awtry, third place in humorous solo; DJ Mecham, first place in humorous solo; Molly Gianarelli, ninth place in humorous solo; Ray Hough and Kira Mills, 11th place in humorous duo; Robertson, seventh in serious solo; Diedra Mecham, fourth place in humorous oral interpretation; and Early, eighth place in humorous oral interpretation. |

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.
Started back in the 1970s, ITB or Intercontinental Truck Body has been a name that we all know but it may be a place you know little about. It was originally a mechanical shop for missile defense before being taken over in the 70’s as a truck body manufacturer.
Bought in 1999 from Kenny VanDyke and the Vanee family from Canada, Ron Ueland, Bert and Mike Robbins came with backgrounds in engineering and agriculture and the hopes to diversify and grow. These native Montanans knew the importance of keeping business local and in Montana.
Known for their parcel delivery vans and grain bodies, ITB was able to put their foot in the door and obtain small military contracts.
Having come full circle, they now manufacture ramps for the Air Force, tugs for the Defense Department, manufacturing equipment for the logging industry and other military grade components.
