Suffering With Pain?
Prolozone is a nutritional/
oxygen injection technique
developed and pioneered by Dr. Shallenberger MD. It is excellent for all forms of musculo-skeletal and joint pain including chronic neck and back pain, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative and arthritic hips and knees, degenerated discs, and shoulder and elbow pain. The good thing about Prolozone is that because it actually corrects the pathology of the disorder, there is a 75% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to become permanently pain free.
Conditions That Can Be
Treated With Prolozone
Prolozone works on just about any pain problem you might have, including:
• Neck pain
• Whiplash
• Degenerated or herniated discs
• Low back pain
• Plantar fasciitis
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Torn tendons
• TMJ syndrome
• Sciatica
• Heel spurs
• Neuromas
• Tennis elbow
• Rotator cuff tears
• Knee injuries
• And virtually any other sports injury
Because Prolozone treatments also result in cartilage regeneration, the technique is also remarkably effective even for severe cases of arthritis of the hip or knee. The good thing about Prolozone is that it is not just a treatment for pain. The results actually represent a permanent x.
Dr. Carter also incorporates Prolo, PRP, and neural prolo into her pain treatments

Museum Gets Grant to Restore Historic Locomotive
Libby’s Heritage Museum has received two grants worth $10,000 to aid in the creation of a strategic plan that will out- line the steps to restore and eventually operate an antique steam train that ran there nearly a century ago.
The Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation in Missoula has given the museum $5,000 and the Kootenai River Development Council helped secure a matching grant from the Big Sky Eco- nomic Development Trust Fund. The money will be used to pay a Helena con- sulting rm to create a strategic plan that will layout the steps needed to restore J. Neils Lumber Co. steam locomotive No. 4. The historic “Shay” type locomotive was built in 1906 and came to work in the woods of Lincoln County in 1917. It was last used in 1946 and has been on display in Libby ever since. In 2012, museum vol- unteers started restoring the locomotive.
Next month, an o cial from the Fed- eral Railroad Administration will come to Libby to inspect the locomotive’s boiler – which is used to turn water into steam to power it – and see if a new boiler will need to be built or if repairs can be
BLACKFEET
Council Welcomes New Members, Re-elects Chairman
The chairman and secretary of the Blackfeet Tribal Business Council were re-elected July 14 and a new vice chair- man was sworn in at a ceremony in Browning.
Chairman Harry Barnes and Secre- tary Tyson Running Wolf were selected to serve for two more years as the leaders of the nine-person tribal council. Newly elected member Terry J. Tatsey was selected to serve as vice chairman.
The inauguration came two weeks after the tribe’s general election that saw three new councilors elected and one incum- bent hold on to his seat. Among the incum- bents who were not re-elected was Chief Earl Old Person. The 87-year-old honor- ary tribal chief has served 26 terms on the tribal council since 1954.Timothy “Kink” Davis and Carl D. Kipp were also elected to the council and Roland F. Kennerly was re-elected to represent Heart Butte.
Chairman Barnes was rst elected to the tribal council in 2014 following a tur- bulent period in the tribe’s history where the government was split and a power struggle erupted between two factions of the council. Many believe the split was the result of a awed government struc- ture. Barnes has been a supportive voice for governmental reform and earlier this summer the tribe sent a revised consti- tution to the Bureau of Indian A airs for review.
made to the current one. Museum o - cials say the restoration is expected to cost $500,000, although savings could be found if the current boiler is deemed repairable.
The strategic plan, expected to be completed later this year, will also out- line the steps needed to restore a pas- senger car built in 1876 and lay tracks on the museum grounds for excursion rides. Museum o cials hope the historic train rides will bring more tourists to Lincoln County.

FLATHEAD
County Receives Bids for Health Center Remodel
The Flathead County Commission looked over bids for a project seeking to remodel the Flathead City-County Health Department, allowing the depart- ment more space.
The second and third oor of the Earl Bennett Building are the focus of the ren- ovations, with the administrative o ces on the third oor moving to the second oor, while the third oor will be home to more lab and clinic space.
During its July 12 meeting, the com- mission met to unseal the bids for the project, which is expected to cost around half a million dollars. The commission
opened only one bid during its meeting, from Swank Enterprises who said it could get the job done for $498,900.
Later in its meeting, the commission realized there was another organization that wanted to bid on the project but the packet was late, making it to the o ce at 9 a.m. instead of the 8:30 a.m. deadline.
The commission voted to take the extra bid under consideration.
The Flathead City-County Health Department added a third oor to the Earl Bennett Building in 2009, providing space for the Community Health Center’s dentistry program. The addition of the South Campus building, which is nearly complete, will also account for more den- tal space.
