Dean's Chat hosts Drs. Jeffrey Jensen and Johanna Richey,  welcome Dr. Ronald Ray DPM, who currently practices in Great Falls Montana. Dr. Ray completed his undergraduate degree at California State University at Long Beach with a Bachelors of Science in Physical Therapy. He worked as a Physical Therapist for several years and ultimately became interested in podiatry from his interest in the mechanics of the lower extremity.   Through his work, he explored podiatric medicine and decided to return for his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree obtained from the California College of Podiatric Medicine.  He went on to complete his surgical residency training at one of the top programs in the country at Waldo Podiatric Surgical Residency Program in Seattle Washington (now known as the Swedish residency program). Here he was introduced to many of his mentors. It was through his training he met Dr. Sig Hansen MD with Harborview Medical Center and had the privilege of doing an AO Fellowship with him.   Listen, as we hear his experience of working with Dr. Hanson and the beautiful lessons that he learned watching a master of surgery. Join us as we discuss all things podiatric medicine and surgery as we discuss Dr. Ray's many service opportunities.   Dr. Ray discusses what it means to be involved with professional organizations. As a past president of the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery as well as leader in the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (serving on many different committee including: Annual Scientific meeting, Leadership Development Committee and Surgical Skills Committee).  Dr. Ray is no stranger to advancing our profession in the education world. His continued dedication and service are predicated on his passion, which is clear as you hear him speak.  Dr. Ray discusses tricks to elevate speaking in public which our students will surely benefit. Tune in, as he discusses his mentors, Dr. Jeffrey Christensen DPM and Richard Bouche DPM, who helped encourage him to take on lecture opportunities and get engaged in the profession. He provides great wisdom and tips into stretching your comfort zone and being willing to jump in and take the leap into the unknown. His physical therapist framework of learning and developing a skill set-verbalizing, and saying lectures out loud to develop proprioception and muscle memory to improve public speaking are fascinating!  Dr. Ray has been integral in the development of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons collaboration with the AO Foundation to build the curriculum for the Advanced Principles Course for Foot and Ankle Trauma and Surgery. He talks about how this collaborative effort has been a harmonious, but delicate balance of earning trust and maintaining the highest standards to propel our profession forward.   If you are interested in more information about how to join the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons or the AO North America https://www.aofoundation.org/aona/engage-with-us/Become-a-member https://www.acfas.org/membership/joinrenew  To find upcoming AO-ACFAS courses:  https://www.aofoundation.org/aona/our-community/DPM/DPM-courses-and-events#sortCriteria=%40startdate%20ascending&f-speciality=DPM https://www.acfas.org/education-professional-development/educationcalendar

Recorded: May 5, 2022 Duration: 1 hour 47 minutes Marsha Barnhart talks to Dr. Joan Bird, author of the book Montana UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Extraordinary Stories of Documented Sightings and Encounters. Dr. Bird is a Zoologist who specialized in animal behavior. She moved to Montana in 1973 to pursue graduate studies in zoology at the University of Montana, and in 1983 she completed her Ph.D. on inter-island variation in West Indian finches. Dr. Bird worked as a conservation biologist for the Montana Environmental Information Center, The Nature Conservancy, and Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. She has also worked as a fire lookout in both Washington and Montana. Joan freelanced as a nature interpretation writer and has written numerous articles for scientific and conservation publications. Actively involved in women's empowerment, she was a columnist for Crone Magazine. A lifelong student of unexplained phenomena and long-time member of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, she has worked as a community educator and change agent.  When Joan was a teenager, her mother had a near death experience. This engendered a lifelong interest in exploring paranormal and esoteric subjects. And, although steeped in scientific materialism from her academic training, Dr. Bird eventually began to study and attempt to understand the inexplicable. In this episode of API Conversations, Marsha and Dr. Bird discuss the contents of her book, Montana UFOs and Extraterrestrials, and delve into a host of related philosophies, concepts and theories regarding UFO's, the ET Hypothesis, the Nature of Reality, the possibility of Past Lives and the value of Consciousness Studies.    Links Dr. Joan R Bird, Montana UFOs and Extraterrestrials: https://www.amazon.com/Montana-UFOs-Extraterrestrials-Extraordinary-Documented/dp/1606390570 https://www.humanitiesmontana.org/programs/ufos-and-extraterrestrials-in-montana-with-joan-bird/ The Nick Mariana UFO Incident: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nick_Mariana_UFO_Footage_1950_Great_Falls_Montana.webm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariana_UFO_incident The Malmstrom AFB UFO Incident https://www.cufon.org/cufon/malmstrom/malm1.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgziDyPSUog http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/malmstromufo.pdf ET 101 The Cosmic Instruction Manual: https://www.amazon.com/T-101-Instruction- There is a River, the Story of Edgar Cayce: https://www.amazon.com/Story-Edgar-Cayce-There- Passport to the Cosmos: https://www.amazon.com/Passport-Cosmos-Human-Transformation-Encounters/dp/0609805576 The More Beautiful World: https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Hearts-Possible-Sacred-Activism/dp/1583947248 Credits Producer and host: Marsha Barnhart Music credits: D.J.

We sit around the campfire with Stephen Underwood. Stephen is the lead pastor at Central Christian Church in Great Falls Montana. From the church website:“We are an inclusive people openly welcoming persons of all sexual orientation, gender, gender identity/expression, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status or any other designation of individuals who have known the pain of exclusion and discrimination by the church and society. We declare ourselves to be an Open and Affirming congregation, professing that all people are God's children and deserve full inclusion in the life, leadership, ministry, fellowship, worship, sacraments of communion and baptism, as well as the church rites of marriage, death, and ordination, and the responsibilities, and blessings of participation in our congregation. With open hearts, open minds, and open doors, we invite anyone who seeks God's amazing grace to join our church family. As Disciples, we find identity at the Lord's table, practicing open communion for all and embracing our mission of building bridges of grace from the welcome table to every table.”We felt it was great timing to have him on during Pride month, and discuss the LGBTQ community and what it is like to be an openly gay pastor.

I had Tom Figarelle on the podcast today and he's the Executive Director of the C.M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana. This podcast is unique because we get to hear the extent of Tom's love for his hometown which is Great Falls, MT. It's where he's from, where his parents are from, and where he lives and works to honor a historical figure that loved Great Falls just as much. The idea that a Western artist who died in 1926 can have such an impact on the world of art, but also have an immense influence on the state of Montana where he's kind of a superstar... It's mind-boggling stuff.You see, I'm very fortunate in my personal, most recent connection to the C.M. Russell Museum. I was actually invited to go and lecture there on August 20th of this year (2022) at this massive Charles Russell show that they have. There's a  major auction component to the show and they give out an award, the Western Heritage Award, which I'm very fortunate to be the recipient of this particular year. I encourage everyone to listen to this and if you can come out and see the show in August, it sounds like it's going to be an amazing event.I guess what really amazes me is that in some parts of the world, in some parts of America, there are artists that can break through and we can really see how important these people are. So I was thrilled to talk to Tom because he really could talk about this in a very intimate and personal way, having grown up in Great Falls and really kind of ended up with his dream job of being the executive director of this museum.Learn more about the upcoming show and auction at the C.M.

On today’s show we’re talking about investing versus speculating, and we’re answering a listener question about where to invest in today’s environment. This question comes from David in Great Falls Montana. David asks, I want to thank you for all the hard work you put in on putting out great content that is filled with such helpful information. I had a question on the podcast you put out on April 14th about stagflation. I was wondering what are good assets to buy to hedge against stagflation in the economy. David this is a great question. One of the best short term hedges against inflation is precious metals. I definitely recommend parking cash in precious metals during a time like this. But I have to tell you that it’s extremely difficult to buy gold or silver at the retail level today. The supply has completely dried up and almost all the dealer’s I’ve researched have zero inventory. I like the way you phrased the question. Instead of asking where to invest, you asked what asset you should buy. In this context, I’m going to use Robert Kiyosaki’s definition of the word asset, where he defines an asset as something that produces positive net income. We are of course at a moment in time where problems are everywhere. I’m continually shocked by the fundamental lack of understanding of what investing is really all about. Some people just focus on buy low, sell high. The true investor mindset understands the value of an asset, but not just because it sold at a certain price. My thought is to focus on tactical problem solving. We are going through a global problem with supply chains right now. These are not going to resolve quickly. The recovery which is months away will be incredibly messy and inefficient. The path to earning is to solve problems that people are willing to pay money to have solved. The most trivial example is the guy walking through the crowd at a summer music festival selling cold bottled water for $2 per bottle. They paid $0.30 per bottle and are making a healthy margin. But they’re solving a problem. The problems abound right now. 90% of the doorknobs in the world are manufactured in China. There is a global disruption and everyone in construction is experiencing shortages of hardware for doors. That’s a problem that needs to be solved. Supply chains are going to be re-evaluated in the coming months with a greater emphasis on security of supply. It used to be that everything was being commoditized and lowest price always wins. That may change in the future. There will be a shortage of spare parts, globally. Anyone with a machine shop who can manufacture spare parts from a CAD file will do very well. Any machine shop that can create the CAD file by copying an existing part that might be broken by digitizing the dimensions will do very well. There are shortages in the food supply that have opened up and will become increasingly acute in the coming weeks and months. Someone with a few hundred thousand tomato plant seedlings would probably get a good price for them. It would only take a couple of acres to produce a few hundred thousand seedlings. It likely that many men in North America are going to be reluctant to go to the barber shop to get their hair cut anytime soon. Sales of hair clippers have gone through the roof. Inventories are sold out and many orders are experiencing long lead times. Here’s another problem to be solved. They’re literally everywhere. You get the idea. It’s about discovering the real problems and finding a way to add real value, not just being a middle-man in the transaction. I want to thank you David for a great question. This is a question that we’re going to be looking at repeatedly over the coming days and weeks.

Guest speaker Pastor Bob Johnson from New City Church in Great Falls Montana gives a great message on unity within the church.

In this episode we sat down and had a chat with Liz Donaldson known as huntress.life.liz on Instagram. What a great story and message she has. Her husband Ian and her are fortunate enough to be stationed in Great Falls Montana and they take full advantage of the opportunities that area has to offer. Taking up hunting to spend more time with her husband was the beginning of an outdoor journey that will never cease to provide an enriched life for them. It was so refreshing listening to her tell her story on why she started hunting. She has gone from a non-hunter to a full blown hunter, conservationist and outdoorswoman. Take Liz's example and get out and volunteer. She's in the process of becoming a Montana Hunter Education Instructor! We'd like to sincerely thank Ian "Donny" and Liz for their service to our country. https://darkmountain.com https://www.instagram.com/huntress.life.liz/?hl=en https://fishandwildlife.org Subscribe to the show and don't hesitate to contact us if you'd like to be on an episode.We would to hear from you with any questions, comments or feedback. https://www.instagram.com/makeithappenoutdoors/?hl=en mihoutdoors18@gmail.com   

During the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union, each side developed and demanded more military might. The best deterrent for an all out war, they thought, was a strategic nuclear armament, so large, that each side would ultimately destroy each other, and the whole earth, some 300,000 times over if anyone made the first move. It was a time of high tension, of nuclear holocaust fear and duck and cover propaganda. To reach the Soviet Union, the United States placed 1000s of nuclear armaments in Northern Montana strategically placed near the Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana. The country-side was literally dotted with Minuteman Intercontinental Ballistic Missile installations. Today, most of these have been decommissioned as part of armament treaties and partly due to age and lack of upgrading. There is, however, a significant amount of newer, more powerful, nuclear weapon silos on and near the base.On our last episode we discussed the Mariana UFO incident and we left you with a question why there has been and continues to be a high number of UFO sightings in Great Falls Montana. And I think by now you have already figured this one out.This is Unsolved Mysteries of the World, Season 3 Episode 14, The Minutemen Guardians.

I've since followed his journey as he made it where he wanted to go.  He is a major sports fan and used this along with his passion for journalism to catapult him to the top.  From Boise State, to USC, to Great Falls Montana, Ty has quite the story. Through his story, you'll learn about the dedication, the networking, the opportunities you must grab, the hustle and grind and above all, the patience that it takes to make it to where he's at.

Story 1 - Castle Parks are Expanding Whenever we hear about new parks being established, it's great news - and this January, we got a double whammy as the Alberta Government finalized the boundaries of Castle Wildland and announced the creation of Castle Provincial Park on January 20, 2017. These two parks protect more than 1000 square kilometres or almost 400 square miles of the southern Alberta Rockies known as the crown of the continent. They provide a critical habitat that encompasses the spine of the Rockies which is one of the most diverse ecological areas in the entire Rocky Mountain chain. Bordered on the south by communities like Missoula and Great Falls Montana, it follows the Rocky Mountain Ridge northward to Alberta's Kananaskis Country. These newly established parks will help to provide more consistent protection along the Rocky Mountain Ridge and runs all the way from Waterton Lakes National Park to the Crowsnest Highway, or Highway 3, in southern Alberta. The Wildland Park will focus more on low-impact access and will contain the most critically sensitive landscapes in terms of headwater protection, wildlife movement corridors and critical plant and animal habitat. The provincial park will have more frontcountry development and includes former Provincial Recreation Areas like Lynx Creek, Castle Falls, Castle River Bridge, Syncline, and Beaver Mines provincial Recreation Areas. Story 2 - Whirling Disease Updates Just this week, aquatic specialists with Parks Canada announced plans to remove all the fish from Johnson Lake. Parks is planning to use nets and electrofishing this spring to begin the removal process. They'll pack it in for the summer months between Canada Day on July 1 and the end of the Labour Day weekend in September. The lake will be open for visitation this summer, but all watercraft will remain banned. This includes stand-up paddleboards as well. The spores are just too easily spread by watercraft and all too often the boats are not cleaned well enough to make sure they are spore free. In the fall they'll continue to collect fish and also lower the water level using pumps in order to make it easier to force the fish into a smaller area and facilitate their capture. It's also a better time to lower the water level as park biologists are worried about the local amphibian population and they're more prevalent in the lake during springtime. Story 3 - Shocking Bears As part of a recent study undertaken by Parks Canada in coordination with Canadian Pacific Railway, park officials are continuing to investigate the use of electrified mats or electromats along with electrified fencing in areas that have become hotspots for bear fatalities. The mats are still in the experimental phase and the heavy snowfalls that occur in the mountains still provide limitations to their effectiveness. A number of different solutions are being investigated and many different solutions may eventually be incorporated to reduce the number of bears fatally struck by trains passing through the mountain parks. Story 4 - Pine Beetle Updates The past 2 decades has seen our mountain media full of stories of the mountain pine beetle. This tiny beetle has decimated pine forests through the mountain west for the past 10-20 years. Pine beetles are barely the size of a grain of rice, yet they are the most damaging insect pest in North America. The odd thing is that they are not some introduced pest from Europe or Asia, but a natural part of the mountain forest ecosystem. Every species is a reflection of its habitat as reflected in the climate, landscape, and plant communities. The mountain pine beetle has always been a part of this larger ecosystem, but in the last 20 years, it has exploded in numbers and in many ways overwhelmed the forests that it has called home.
