The Cowgirl basketball team got back into action from the holiday break with game against the visiting Choteau Bulldogs on Thursday.

After trading opening shots at the basket and neither team scoring, the ‘Dawgs Alisha Breen banged in a shot off the glass, was fouled and completed the three point play for an early Choteau lead.

Cowgirls senior Rashelle Johns cut into that small lead with a stop-an-pop jumper in the lane to make the score 3-2.

Conrad stayed close; junior Taylor Judisch came down the court off a turnover, going coast-to-coast and then dishing off to junior Morgan VanDyke under the basket who hit for the score in a neat play, getting close again at 6-8.

Johns followed that action with a short jumper to tie the game 8-8, but Choteau was up by two points up at the buzzer, 11-9.

The year of 2011 was full of good times and some not-so-good times. The I-O presents its annual look back at some of the events and stories that had an effect on our   lives, either directly or indirectly.

JANUARY: Newly elected county officials were sworn into office by Commissioner Cynthia Johnson. They included Bill May Public Administrator, Janis Hoppes Clerk and Recorder, Sheriff Tom Kuka, Treasurer Jeanne Moon, Superintendent of Schools Jo Stone, County Attorney Mary Ann Ries, Justice of the Peace Audrey Brown and Commissioner Sandy Broesder.

The city needs to expand their present office and is looking at the alternative of moving offices to Norley Hall at Blue Sky Villa. Estimated cost would be approximately $343,000.

Betty Olson, a main stay at Olson Drug retired after 35 years on the job.

Breilla Rhean Stordahl was the New Year baby. She joined our world on Jan. 6. Her parents are Randy and Anne Stordahl of Conrad.

The county commissioners, following the swearing in of Broesder followed a pattern of rotating the board chairman.

Johnson was appointed as chairman of the commission with Joe Christiaens being the vice-chairman.

In what was to become a regular feature on the front page of the I-O, John McFarland, owner of the Conrad Building Center was the featured business in Spotlight on Business.

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.

No history is as rich as one that begins four generations ago. Started in the early 1950’s by John Bain, Bain’s Plumbing and Heating used to be located on Front Street next to Moon’s Café. The Bain family moved to the area in 1932 when his son was just an infant.

In 1958, his son, also John Bain, took over until his passing in 2003. During those years, the shop moved to Dakota Street and even burned down in 1993.

The business continued to operate out of a trailer on the property until 2006 when the current new shop was put up.

It was 12 years ago when Patty Walter, the daughter of John Bain Jr. and the third generation to run the business, stepped in for her father. Her son, Travis Walter, the fourth generation, has worked for the company since he was 14 years old and is currently a journeyman working towards becoming a master plumber.
