The Conley Boys of Montana

The Conley Boys of Montana

By: Jim Blodgett

The three Conley boys, Jack, Jim and Frank were sons of an Irish immigrant family, raised along the banks of the Susquehanna River in Maryland. After the death of their father when Frank was but 18 months old, the family relocated to Carroll, Iowa. During the same time, the newspapers were filled with stories of the U.S. Army and their campaigns against the combined native tribes in Montana and the Dakota Territories. The exciting and dangerous stories which celebrated the lives of those involved, was a call to action for all three boys. Montana Territory in the 1870’s and 80’s was a hostile environment where road agents, horse thieves and “bad men” infested the roads and towns alike. Native tribes were at war with settlers attempting to encroach on their lands, and the advent of the railroad brought a new species of troublemakers to towns along the Northern Pacific route. Other than a rare visit from one of the few U.S. Marshals assigned to the territory; the presence of lawmen was scarce. An unusual responsibility fell upon the few, fearless officers whose mission it was to enforce the law and maintain order, largely upon the force of their own edicts. The job of anyone with a badge, was filled with danger. A lone officer who would attempt to track down a criminal within the huge expanse of the territory, was a fearless man indeed. There were many desperate men who thought little of killing anyone out to bring them to justice. The more efficient and fearless an officer was, the more challenging and dangerous was the job. Legendary lawman Tom Irvine became the first elected sheriff of Custer County which included the town of Miles City. Irvine was the right man for the thriving and wild town, but the awesome and dangerous job of sheriff required deputies with experience, tested courage, and the confidence to handle whatever problem that came their way. Prior to his election as sheriff, Irvine worked alongside Jim and Jack Conley when they served as packers and guides for General Nelson Miles during the Indian wars. Irvine knew of Jack and Jim Conley's capabilities and was successful in recruiting both as his first deputies. Seventeen-year-old Frank had just arrived in Miles City and had always dreamed of working with his brothers, so he approached Irvine for a job. Irvine hesitated as he could not recall a deputy as young as Frank in the territory or any of the surrounding territories. But then again, there had never been brothers quite like the Conley boys. Frank was well over six foot at the time, had broad shoulders, a trim waist, powerful build, a mature manner, and appearance. All three of the brothers, especially Jim, were known as expert marksmen with the pistol, rifle, and shotgun. Jim assured Irvine he would vouch for Frank and be there if needed, to look out for him. Irvine trusted Jim’s judgement, “If Frank is half the man, you and Jack are, Jim, I believe he would make an excellent lawman. Besides, there is only one way to find out.” Sheriff Irvine was not disappointed, nor were the other lawmen and communities the Conley boys served over the next forty years. Jack and Jim both became effective and respected Sheriff's, stock detectives and U.S. Deputy Marshals. Young Frank became one of the longest serving Prison Wardens and city mayors in the United States. This is a story based upon real events, characters, and the lives of three remarkable brothers and lawmen: Jack, Jim and Frank, The Conley boys of Montana.

Superbugs

An Arms Race against Bacteria

By: William Hall,Anthony McDonnell,Jim O'Neill

Antibiotics are powerful drugs that can prevent and treat infections, but they are becoming less effective as a result of drug resistance. Resistance develops because the bacteria that antibiotics target can evolve ways to defend themselves against these drugs. When antibiotics fail, there is very little else to prevent an infection from spreading. Unnecessary use of antibiotics in both humans and animals accelerates the evolution of drug-resistant bacteria, with potentially catastrophic personal and global consequences. Our best defenses against infectious disease could cease to work, surgical procedures would become deadly, and we might return to a world where even small cuts are life-threatening. The problem of drug resistance already kills over one million people across the world every year and has huge economic costs. Without action, this problem will become significantly worse. Following from their work on the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, William Hall, Anthony McDonnell, and Jim O’Neill outline the major systematic failures that have led to this growing crisis. They also provide a set of solutions to tackle these global issues that governments, industry, and public health specialists can adopt. In addition to personal behavioral modifications, such as better handwashing regimens, Superbugs argues for mounting an offense against this threat through agricultural policy changes, an industrial research stimulus, and other broad-scale economic and social incentives.

Shadows of War Rapid climate change leads to mass riots in China, and a new communist premier seeks to relieve pressure by marching on traditional Chinese enemies in Southeast Asia. Desperately coping with its own problems, the United States wants to avoid nuclear war at all costs--but ultimately must fight to preserve world peace. Edge of War CIA officer Mara Duncan faces her most grueling assignment yet: get scientist Josh MacArthur and a seven-year-old witness to Chinese atrocities in Vietnam out of the country safely. With a relentless Chinese monk turned commando and the entire Chinese secret service in Vietnam at their back, it's not going to be easy. Shock of War Under secret orders from the President, U.S. Army Major Zeus Murphy sabotages a Chinese invasion fleet on the eve of its assault against Vietnam. But after Murphy and fellow officer Win Christian are trapped behind enemy lines, Christian's erratic behavior gives them away. The pair shoot their way out of a Chinese airport terminal, hijack a bus, then barely escape two truckloads of soldiers before disappearing into the night. Blood of War As depression and drought wrack China, the country's new premier has launched a deadly war with Vietnam. The assault has left the world on the precipice of disaster....U.S. Army Major Zeus Murphy disobeys his commander and plunges headlong into the conflict, leading the Vietnamese in a covert attack against the Chinese army massing on the border. If the gambit fails, China will roll over Vietnam—and Zeus will lose the only woman he has ever loved, kept prisoner in a secret base north of Hanoi.

Recoil

By: Jim Thompson

Patrick Cosgrove used to think he'd do anything not to be a prisoner of Sandstone State Reformatory. Fifteen years on the inside for a victimless crime, under the care of a warden whose penchant for violence is legendary -- surely nothing could be worse. But when an unbelievably Samaritan act by a psychologist he's never met places Cosgrove in the care of Roland "Doc" Luther, Cosgrove's not so sure he hasn't traded the frying pan for the fire after all. On the one hand, Doc claims that Cosgrove owes him nothing, and seems at times like the most decent man alive. But at other times, Doc's potential for cruelty seems unimaginable. As it turns out, freedom's not as freeing as he thought it would be -- especially when it might end up getting him killed.

Formidable Heritage

Manitoba's North and the Cost of Development

By: Jim Mochoruk

Canadians have an ambivalent feeling towards the North. Although climate and geography make our northern condition apparent, Canadians often forget about the north and its problems. Nevertheless, for the generation of historians that included Lower, Creighton, and Morton, the northern rivers, lakes, forests, and plains were often seen as primary characters in the drama of nation building. W.L. Morton even went so far as to write that the ìmain task of Canadian life has been to make something of that formidable heritageî of the northern Canadian shield. For many politicians and developers, "to make something" of the North came to mean thinking of the North as an empty hinterland waiting to be exploited, and today, hydroelectric projects, mining, milling, pulp and paper, and other industries have changed much of the North beyond recognition. One of the first parts of the North to be aggressively industrialized was northern Manitoba. When all of Manitoba was given in 1670 to a group of entrepreneurs, a precedent was set that was replicated throughout the provinceís history. After the province entered confederation in 1870, provincial politicians and business leaders began to look to the northern resources as a new key to the provinceís economic development. Particularly after 1912, they saw resource development in the North as a strategy to expand the provincial economy from its agricultural base. Jim Mochoruk shows how government and business worked together to transform what had been the exclusive fur-trading preserve of the Hudsonís Bay Company into an industrial hinterland. He follows the many twisting paths established by developers and politicians as they chased their goal of economic growth, and recounts the ultimate costs of development in economic, ecological, and political terms.

Radio Speakers

By: Jim Cox

In the days before television, radio was the constant voice in American life. When radio spoke, America listened--especially to the men and women who spoke directly to their unseen audience. Sometimes formal, sometimes as familiar as the friend next door, their presence filled the airwaves: announcers, newscasters, sportscasters, showbiz reporters, advice consultants, emcees and breakfast chatterboxes. These radio personalities became as popular and familiar as the most public faces of the time. Here among profiles of more than 1100 "radio speakers" are famous names like George Ansbro, Red Barber, H.V. Kaltenborn, Dorothy Kilgallen, Edward R. Murrow, Louella Parsons, Walter Winchell and more. Also amply represented are hundreds of lesser known individuals who left indelible auditory impressions. Whether their fame was forever or fleeting, all were a part of the American voice during the grand epoch of network radio.

Decisions

Making the Right Ones, Righting the Wrong Ones

By: Jim Treliving

Co-owner of Boston Pizza and star of CBC-TV’s Dragons’ Den, Jim Treliving reveals the secrets of his success, taking you behind the scenes at critical points in the building of his businesses—which also include Mr. Lube and interests in real estate and sports franchising. Covering the “big” decisions—from what to do with your life to how to source capital, find partners, handle change and inspire growth—Treliving sets out the tools for making effective choices and explains why every decision requires action. He also discusses how to bounce back from those no-so-good decisions, explaining how to refocus and recalibrate, just as Treliving had to do when he realized that Boston Pizza’s expansion into Asia was causing the company to drift off-brand.

The Self-Transforming School

By: Brian J. Caldwell,Jim M. Spinks

The Self-Transforming School combines an insightful meta-analysis of factors contributing to the success of schools, and an examination of powerful mega-trends that are shaping developments in education, to offer the first mega-analysis in education policy and practice. The book spans fifty years, beginning with Caldwell and Spinks’ ground-breaking work The Self-Managing School which advocated innovative approaches that are now accepted as preferred practice, before offering a prognosis and plan for the future. The book argues that all schools in all settings can secure success for all students in an era where society and the economy are changing constantly and dramatically. Although schools find some support in local and global networks, externally designed re-structuring, re-staffing, or command-and-control direction isn’t sufficient to achieve transformation. Instead of replicating particular approaches to achieve modest improvement, leadership of the highest quality needs to be deeply embedded in schools and their systems. Caldwell and Spinks propose three important points that need to be taken into consideration: -schools are often at different stages of self-transformation -self-transformation requires a high level of professionalism, and must include teacher education and on-going professional development -funding is critically important, and efforts to build a capacity for self-transformation are constrained by what is available. The book gives particular attention to developments in Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, Finland, Hong Kong, India, New Zealand, Shanghai, Singapore and the United States. It will be of key interest to school leaders, policy makers, and academics and postgraduate students engaged in research on equity, student performance in highly disadvantaged settings and education policy.
