 NEW SCALE – PMC Clinic patient Michele Stocker is weighed in by Kathy Olson, RN, on a new scale donated by the PMC Auxiliary. The scale is lower to the ground and easier for patients to get on and the large digital numbers are easy for nurses to read. I-O Photo by Buck Traxler
Haley Denzer commented, “The clinic staff found many of the patients were unsteady and uncomfortable standing on a conventional scale.”
The new scale is lower to the ground, has a much wider base, and has handrails to accommodate any age, or size of patient. The patients who have used the scale, felt much more steady and secure when being weighed at their doctor’s office.
Chief of Staff, Dr. Peter Barran stated, “The PMC and the Clinic have been very fortunate to be affiliated with the Auxiliary. In the past, they have helped PMC purchase a defibrillator and furniture for our postpartum room.”
He went on to add, “Equipment like this is in high demand at all healthcare facilities.”
The Hospital Auxiliary has many fund-raisers throughout the year to raise money for the facility.
Dr. Jennifer Dodge noted, “The Auxiliary is a very dedicated and hard working group who has the PMC and its patients at heart. The next time you see a fund-raiser sponsored by the Auxiliary, keep in mind you may benefit from it when you are a patient.”
A problem many small, rural hospitals face is finding the resources to purchase equipment that is required to provide adequate care.
Clinic Manager Denzer commented, “The PMC Clinic is appreciative and excited about this donation. We strive to provide the best services possible and with the help of the Auxiliary, we are one step closer to this goal.” |

A panel consisting of Mayor John Shevlin, Gary Dent and councilman Sandy Syvertson and Gary Brown will conduct interviews this week for a new city attorney.
Three candidates, Shari Gianarelli of Conrad, T. Kai Lee from Cut Bank and William Bronson from Great Falls are seeking the position.
In other news out of the council meeting, it was noted that the Northern Joint Refuse Disposal District feels the city is dumping more refuse than is being assessed.
Mayor Shevlin, who attended a recent refuse meeting, indicated they feel there is a problem with Cut Bank as well.
He added that the, “Assessment is not right and the situation will be studied.”
City trash goes to one container at the roll off site and when full is taken to the landfill and weighed before going into the landfill. “We have a long way to go with this, a lot of studies to be made,” the mayor added.
Wendy Judisch will be out of state on Dec. 3 and miss the council meeting. The council approved her absence.
The city accepted a plaque from the Montana Municipal Insurance Authority for their Safety Achievement Program for Third Class Cities.
Covering five years, Conrad has had the lowest incurred dollars in the liability program. Former Mayor Byron Grubb was on hand for this as well. He commented that it was, “Dedicated employees who received this.”
In the last council report, it was an engineer and a representative from the Rocky Boy Water Project who visited the city on a fact-finding visit to see about hooking up Brady and Dutton to city water. Dutton is in compliance with the DEQ on water matters.
A light agenda and little other business saw the council meeting adjourn in just 30 minutes. |

 BIG HIT – Cowgirl junior Kenley King, middle hitter, smacks back a kill shot against Choteau as Jenny Silvernale #13 and Ashley Beckham #6 look on. I-O Photo by Buck Traxler
The Cowgirls hosted the Lady Eagles of Fairfield who came in leading the conference with a 5-0 record and were 10-0 overall in duel matches.
Conrad on the other hand, was in fourth place in the conference with a 1-5 record and sporting a 6-5 overall duel record.
The match, over in three games, was not even close with the Cowgirls ruffling the Eagle feathers by scores of 25-13, 25-17, and 25-10!
In the opening game, there were two ties and one lead change. Amanda Judisch got Conrad an early 3-2 lead off one of three aces the southpaw rapped over from the service line. It was a lead they would not give up.
Kylee Schlepp got to the line with Conrad leading 6-4. The Cowgirls went on a nine point run behind her three aces and a monster kill shot by her sister Katie.
The Eagles tried to rally back and a six-point run had the score at 15-10 until Ashley Beckham put an end to their scoring with a big kill shot. Beckham would also set up a kill shot that Katie Schlepp zipped down the net line, leaving front line Eagle players helpless.
With the opening contest at game point, Kenley King put up a set for Katie Schlepp and she powered it over for the 25-13 win.
The second game featured five ties and two lead changes. Conrad was helped by an ace from Judisch and one from Beckham and then nice team setting.
Judisch dished up a ball for Kylee Schlepp to bang back, another nifty set by Katie Schlepp for Beckham to smash over and at game point, Katie set up King and she ripped a kill shot over for the 25-17 win.
In the rubber game, it was all Conrad who put on a clinic. There were no ties or lead changes.
