Capitol Physician says McConnell did not suffer stroke

The Capitol’s attending physician, Brian Monahan, said in a new letter that Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell did not suffer a stroke or seizure – and is not suffering from Parkinson’s disease – after the 81-year-old Kentuckian was evaluated by a group of neurologists following two recent health scares in front of TV cameras. The letter, released by McConnell’s office Tuesday, comes after he froze in front of cameras for the second time in as many months, raising questions about whether the GOP leader could continue to hold his powerful position atop the Senate GOP Conference. McConnell’s symptoms were noted to sometimes occur in concussion victims. The Senator did experience a concussion within the last few months.

Malad Elementary settles in for the new year

As students, faculty, staff, and parents have been aware for the last several months, this year at Malad Elementary School will be a bit unusual. Construction on the newly bonded school building began over the summer, and is now in full swing. The footprint for the new school has been laid out and the foundation is beginning to be poured.

While the goal of the construction project is to exert as small an effect on the daily lives of students and teachers as possible, some unavoidable dislocation goes along with any project of this size. The construction is scheduled to continue throughout the year, with a hope of being finalized in time for next year’s 2024-2025 school opening.

As the equalization bond begins to be paid off, further projects such as a field house for athletics and oth-

er items will begin to become possible.

Office Relocated

In order to manage the daily business of the school while ensuring that safety can be kept at a high level, the primary school office has been moved to a mobile building on the school’s east side entrance. Those entering the school will need to gain access through this office. Phone and internet connections are being established to allow the front office to fully function as the primary entrance point, though some technical hiccups are still hampering the process.

Principal McIntyre will be at both the front entrance location as well as her main office during the day, in order to meet with parents

The main issue so far with ment has been the pickup and dropoff schedule and procedures. As parents are getting used to the new process, some confusion is still in place. McIntyre advises parents that “in the afternoon, please wait in the pickup line, rather than across the street.” Because the traffic on the roads surrounding the school is busier than usual, children crossing the street to meet parents at areas other than crosswalks creates some safety concerns. This is doubly so as many parents U-turn along the roads, rather than circle the block. Visibility and distractions are concerns, and there have been some reports of dangerous situations as a

Crisis Center/Food Pantry a focus of Day of

One of the focal points for this year is Carol’s Pantry, the community food relief program run by the Oneida Crisis Center. Volunteers will be collecting donated food items from homes and drop off points in town to be sorted at a number of locations. The donations will then be taken to Carol’s Pantry and sorted and stocked onto shelves.

The drive comes at a very helpful time for the Pantry. According to Holly Llewellyn,

Crisis Center director, food stocks right now are “Low, extremely low. We currently have no meat or canned pasta. We have little peanut butter, pancake mix, oatmeal, shelf stable milk, syrup, crackers, instant potatoes, chili and pork and beans.” The pantry relies for its operation on donations, food drives, and volunteers to stay operational.

A recent safety and

attendees now free to leave

Thousands of people were stranded in muddy and rainy conditions at the Burning Man Festival, the country’s most well-known alternative arts gathering. Burning Man attracts artists, musicians, and many others to a temporary “city” erected near Black Rock in the Nevada desert. The festival typically ends with the bonfire destruction of a large burning man structure. This year, rains pre-empted the festival’s normal operation, as massive precipitation made the desert a mud-soaked mess. A ban on trying to drive out of the area was in place until the ground dried enough to allow for it. Over sixty thousand people remained in the location until the driving ban was lifted. No serious incidents or injuries were reported.

Ancient bone jewelry found in Mexico

Archaeologists working in the ruins of Palenque, an ancient city in the southeastern Mexican state of Chiapas, have found a centuries-old, intricately carved Mayan nose ornament made of human bone. The curved artifact, which measures just over roughly 2.4 by 2 inches, offers insight into ancient funerary traditions; it is believed to have been worn by priests during ceremonies in which they embodied the Mayan deity K’awiil, also known as God K, who is associated with lightning, fertility and abundance. The site where the ornament was found was said to be dated to between 1,200 and 1,400 years ago. This is the first object of its age and kind to be found in Mayan ruins.

Special Needs Fair coming to Idaho Falls

It Takes a Village in Idaho will host a free event called “Special Needs Fair 2023.” It will be on Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. at Connections Therapy Centers off Elk Creek Drive in Idaho Falls. The event will provide information about programs and resources available to families with special needs individuals in the region. There will be several different organizations at the event, including Camp Hayden, The Children’s Adventure Center, Idaho Parents Unlimited and WIC. In addition, at the same time and location as the event, there will be an “Adaptive and Assistive Product Swap.” Organizer Anastassia Rogers says, “It is a time that families–if they have any technology, things like walkers or magnified readers to help kiddos who are vision impaired read — any kind of that technology that their child no longer uses, they can bring it to the swap and look around and see,” she said. All donated products need to be in good working condition, clean and ready for immediate use. She said the event is not limited to just children with disabilities. It’s for everyone of all ages.

McIntyre acknowledges that many parents are anxious to pick up their children immediately after they exit, but suggests that the entire process only takes fifteen minutes or less.

“For 400 kids, we do move pretty fast. Our teachers take out those catching the bus, the walkers, and the pickups in groups. We have people at the crosswalks to help walkers get across the street. This system allows us to know where everyone is at all times, which is very important,” she said. “I know things are hectic, but we are getting faster every day. And the truth is, it takes longer if people aren’t following the order for pickup. And in fact if parents wait until a few minutes after school lets out before they line up, the wait will be even shorter.”

The line for student pickup can be daunting, as it usually wraps around the block by the time school officially lets out. However, the line moves very fast if the pickup students are ready and their parents are in the expected line.

“For the most part, people are really good so far, and we’re just working out the kinks,” she said. The pickup line was started during the COVID restrictions, but the school found that it allowed for a more organized and secure situation after school.

“I feel very confidant we know where all of our students are when school lets out.”

Other Issues

One oddity of the current school building is that its bell and intercom system have become inconsistent. The intercom does not always reach every classroom, which makes schoolwide an-

nouncements more difficult. The bell system no longer functions, despite having been examined by technicians who were unable to repair it.

The new school building, of course, will have a fully functional intercom setup, as well as official school bells. At present, McIntyre has to resort to a megaphone or other methods of signaling the beginning and end of the day. “Bells,” she said. “I can’t wait for bells.”

The new school will also be built with a modern security setup, providing a well-controlled central point for access to the school. Modern air conditioning and classroom internet connectivity will also be a major upgrade from the

current school, which is entering its seventieth year of service.

The playground is still being finalized. For the moment, kids are not allowed on the new equipment. After it is fully installed and cured, the playground on the north side of the building will be open for the rest of the year. This will hopefully take place at the end of the week.

As the construction begins to wind down next summer, the school plans to host an event where the new building can be toured in an open house model for parents. In addition, Principal McIntyre would like to create an event to celebrate the generations of students,

teachers, and community members who would like a final “goodbye” to the old school location, which will ultimately be torn down. While these plans aren’t finalized yet, be assured that some form of send off is in the works. School events will proceed as usual this year, with some minor changes to account for the construction. The Halloween Carnival will once again be held at the Fairgrounds and Event Center at the beginning of October. Red Ribbon Week will end on October 26 with the Halloween Parade taking its normal route. The Veterans Day celebration will be held in the auditorium on November 9, at 10:00

Rare sights in the night sky

Blue Supermoon

Thanks to clear skies, Oneida County residents were able to have a good view of a rare lunar phenomenon on Wednesday, August 30. At about 9:30 p.m. the second full moon in August rose above the mountains. It was a “blue moon” as a result of being the second full moon in the month, not because of its color.

Like many expressions in English, the origin of the modern usage of “blue moon” is somewhat unclear. There are a number of interesting explanations for the phrase, though none of them are definite. The phrase itself is very old, dating back at least to the 1600s. During that period, a “blue moon” was something that was ridiculous or impossible, similar to “the moon is made of green cheese.”

Expressions like “that’s as true as the moon is blue” derive from this original usage.

However, since a blue

moon isn’t impossible, just uncommon, the modern version of the same phrase must come from somewhere else.

The two main theories are that calendar printers, who typically used a red moon icon or text to denote a full moon during a month, used blue to set apart a second full moon during the same month. The other main theory is that the phrase was very locally used to mean “second full moon in a month” and that usage was published in a 1946 astronomy magazine which then spread through other media. An NPR radio show on astronomy which mentioned it is seen as the first national media source.

In either case, blue moons are fairly uncommon (about seven times in a nineteen year period). Generally, a single blue moon occurs once every two or three years, though every now and then a year will contain two blue moons.

Appearing larger than usual, Wednesday’s moon was also a “supermoon” because it was at its closest position to Earth (or the moon’s “perigee”) in 2023 at 222,000 miles away. There are three or four supermoons in a year, but they do not usually coincide with a blue moon. The next blue supermoon will not occur until 2037, so if you managed to see it you truly did see something that happens “once in a

blue (super)moon”!

Starlink satellites

Another rarity in the skies overhead lately is the increased presence of Starlink “satellite trains.” Starlink, a company owned by the aerospace company SpaceX, began launching a series of satellites in 2019 to coordinate cell phone communications across the globe. Ever since the launches first started, calls to local authorities reporting UFO/

a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Any changes to additional school events or activities will be announced beforehand.

In case you wondered

With all the construction activity related to the new elementary school, some people have wondered about an unusual structure located on the east end of the construction site. According to Superintendent Jon Abrams, the concrete structure is the base of the flagpole that was in front of the old high school. Because

some people thought that a time capsule or other item of historic value might have been buried by the flagpole back when the high school was built in 1923, the demolition crew dug up the concrete structure and deposited it outside the main construction area. Unfortunately, investigation of the structure does not indicate anything is buried in the concrete base. When the moving process eventually begins, it will be interesting to see what other historic artifacts might be discovered in the building!

UAP (Unexplained Aerial Phenomena) sightings have drastically increased. The satellites appear as a line of silent, bright lights that move in single file across the sky for several minutes, and then vanish. The satellites themselves are primarily visible in the time immediately following their launches. After they ascend far enough, they are usually not visible to the naked eye. There are currently thousands of such satellites in orbit, with frequent launches of new ones. Ultimately,

SpaceX plans to have as many as 50,000 in orbit. Reports of the lights have tapered off somewhat as people have become more accustomed to them, but they can still be unsettling to a viewer who doesn’t know what they’re looking at. The website Findstarlink.com keeps track of where and when they can be viewed. For the most part, launches that are visible from Malad can be seen around 10:00 p.m. or during the 5:00 a.m. hour.

Crisis Center/Food Pantry a focus of Day of Service

Continued from page

wellness grant from Rocky Mountain Power to support the pantry has been keeping the pantry open, though the funds are quickly consumed by paying for utilities, gas, and other overhead costs, as well as supporting the various programs throughout the valley.

While the grant has been extremely helpful, there is no substitute for the help of the community, which is the primary source of food items during the year.

Carol’s Pantry offers food for anyone, although some programs, such as the monthly senior food box, are age and income-restricted, as prescribed by the federal government. The Food Pantry is the only one of its kind in the county, and provides year round access to all who need food assistance. The Pantry also provides access to monthly food boxes for seniors. Students at each of Oneida County’s four public schools can also pick up bags from counselors — an important resource considering some of them may not always have many opportunities to get a healthy meal between the time school lets out on Thursday and resumes again on Monday.

The staff and volunteers at Carol’s Pantry

also make sure food is available at Oneida County’s probation office, where adults and juveniles report under court supervision. The probation office is located in central Malad City, making it more accessible to county residents without reliable transportation.

The pantry’s volunteers help in a variety of ways. They may accept food from food banks, grocers, churches and individual donors, sort it, stock shelves and even deliver it to people who can’t easily reach a pantry.

It’s one way the people in Malad City and elsewhere take care of each other. “You can’t have healthy, happy families if people are hungry,” said Malena Jimenez, the outreach and awareness advocate with the Oneida Crisis Center. “You put on whatever hat you can and try to help people out,” says Jimenez.

The Crisis Center is consistent with its thanks to people in the community for their continued support, and hopes that this year’s Day of Service drive will be a huge success. As Llewellyn said, “We are incredibly thankful for the support that we have received from our community as we endeavor to accomplish our mission statement. We would really

appreciate the community’s involvement in our upcoming events.”

Summer and Fall can be particularly important months for food donations, according to the USDA Economic Research Service. While holidays often see a large influx of monetary and food donations, those typically begin to trail off after April and through the summer, leading to low stores at food pantries as the weather begins to turn colder and fresh food becomes harder to find in many locations. This is very much the current situation in Oneida County, and one of the main reasons that this year’s Day of Service is specifically seeking to aid the organization.

Supporting the Crisis

Center is very much supporting Oneida County itself. The Center is responsible for monthly outreach and engagement activities at all Oneida County Schools throughout the year, and hosts events which call attention to specific issues affecting the lives of local residents. On September 19, the Center will sponsor a Suicide Awareness Walk in collaboration with Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital. On October 9, the Center will be hosting Walk into Healthy Relationships, which is Gabrielle Lund’s senior project. The night will involve a fun gathering featuring awareness, activities, and chili dinner to be held at the City Park. As the winter draws on, in December

Holiday Foods baskets will be prepared in collaboration with the Interfaith Council, and Toys for Tots donations will be coordinated in collaboration with the U.S. Marines. Looking forward to next year, the Center’s premier event, the Gala and benefit auction, will be held in February 2024.

Anyone seeking Crisis Center services can reach out by calling the 24/7 crisis line at 208 766-3119, visiting the office Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., visiting the website at oneidacririscenter.org, call the main office at 208 766-4412 or emailing at oneidacrisiscenter@atcnet.net.

Day of Service

A number of other activities and projects

will also be undertaken during the weekend’s Day of Service. The Day of Service was originally begun to promote community solidarity and goodwill in commemoration of the national mood of service following the events of 9/11. Projects involve beautifying and maintaining the valley that residents call home.

This year’s projects include replacing siding at the Presbyterian Church, cleaning Holbrook Community Park, trimming tree starts along the greenbelt at the City Park, painting at the Fairgrounds, cleaning of the public shooting areas, cleaning behind the Veterans memorial, and various projects at Heritage Square in Samaria, which will all be underway across the valley from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00.

Readers can also contact organizer Scott Gunter at 1-208-317-1612 or Vicky Kent at 1-208221-0606 or Luke Waldron at 1-208-380-3522.

Luke Waldron recently received good new from Northwest Farm Credit Services in the form of a $2,500 check for the Welsh Children's Farm located at the Heritage Farm in Samaria.

In May, Luke submitted an application for a grant to help build permanent corrals and housing for the animals at the Children's Farm. The grant will also provide for a hands-on farm experience exhibit building to be built on the site.

At the beginning of the football game last week between Malad and Marsh Valley, two Malad coaches were presented with trophies by Marsh Valley Principal Kyle Buttars as Fifth District Coaches of the Year.

The Malad Dragons Baseball team was the district champion for 2018 and the only District 5 team to come home with a State trophy, taking third at state.

Coach T.C. Williams was honored as the District 5 Baseball Coach of the Year. He was also honored by the Idaho State Journal in 2017 and 2018 as the All-Area Baseball Coach of the Year.

It was a similar story for coach Robert Hannah. For four consecutive years, the Malad Dragons Softball Team has been the 5th District champs, and this year was their seventh district title. The Lady Dragons ended their 2017/2018 season with 19 wins. Coach Hannah was presented a trophy as the District 5 Softball Coach of the Year.

Coach Hannah received one other 5th District trophy for his four-year winning streak but he is not sure what happened to the other two! In 2017 the Idaho State Journal named Hannah as their All-Area Softball Coach of the Year.

It is also understood by the Idaho Enterprise that Malad High School Volleyball Coach, Cami Tripp was the 2017/2018 5th District Volleyball Coach of the Year. Attempts were made to contact Tripp prior to press time but she could not be reached. In winning the District championship in 2017, it was the sixth consecutive 2A District 5 championship for the Lady Dragons. For the second year in a row, the Dragons were named as runners up at State. As with the other coaches, Tripp has been named as the Idaho State Journal All-Area Coach of the Year.

Under a contract made between the Malad Reservoir Co. and T. C. Anderson of Blackfoot, an attempt to seal the Elkhorn reservoir to hold water will be made within the next few months, according to T. E. Ray, attorney for the Malad Company. For repairing the dam, which has been useless since its construction over 30 years ago, Mr. Anderson will receive 70 percent of the company’s stock. The concrete reservoir, built at an approximate cost of $200,000 was a failure from the beginning as water escaped through some subterranean passages. Potential capacity of the dam is 15,000 acre-feet. During the 1930’s extensive work was done and $60,000 invested to seal the dam, but efforts failed.

60 YEARS AGO (1963) Here are the Malad High School student body officers who began their terms with the opening of school this week: Rose Mary Hess, historian; Vern Bastian, business manager; Eric Hartvigsen, president; Brent Illum, vice-president; Mary Alice Christophersen, secretary-treasurer.

Why a Ranch Kid needs school

By Allison Eliason

Just barely two weeks into the new school year, two weeks of far too many weeks, and the countdown to the next summer break is on. You might think the fun and excitement of friends, fresh starts and new backpacks would last a little longer but at this house, it just doesn’t last. As hard as it is to try and find new motivation daily to get the kids up and on the bus, I can’t help being a little proud that there is something they want more than to be with friends and a ride on the cool school bus. That might sound

funny that I’m proud that they don’t want to go to school, and that’s not what I’m saying. The thing is, they can’t stand the thought of what dad is doing on the ranch without them. Looking out the window to hay ready to chop, cows ready to ship, pivots set to put up- all of it is just tugging on their little ranch kid hearts and they just want to be a part of it more than anything else. This inspires an all too often question“Mom, why do I have to go to school?!” or the comment, “I don’t need to learn this to be a cowboy!” But real life cowboy ranching

THANK YOU!

experience tells us that reading, writing and arithmetic is going to play a big part in being a successful producer. It can be mind blowing to realize that all that tough algebra is going to be pretty necessary while ranching. Whether it is putting up fence, figuring out the tonnage of hay in the stackyard or calculating AUMs (animal unit months) there is always X to be solved for. Math of all sorts- geometry, statistics, algebra and probabilities, can be used for ranching. Even imaginary numbers might come in useful because there are those times I must have imagined

counting more cows in the herd than what came home...

Although geography focuses on studying lands and countries all around the world, learning all about topography and reading maps is sort of a big deal for anyone moving around the range. We might think we can just rely on google maps and GPS wherever we go but I am here to tell you that google doesn’t know what’s out there on the most remote places of the thousands of acres that make up the middle of nowhere. And it's even more likely that when you need Siri to give you directions to the trough that she doesn’t know exists, you won’t have service for her to help you.

But great-grandpa's old maps of all the trails criss-crossing the range with the long forgotten springs are going to come in real handy. That, coupled with those middle school map reading skills are what gets a cowboy where he needs to go.

Ranching is full of science from the bi-

ology of every living plant and animal, to the chemistry of fertilizer and insecticide to the physics needed to break free a hard-stuck lug nut. Does a rancher need to know how it all works? No, it’s true. But understanding how the world works around you can help save a lot of time when things aren’t working right.

Knowing how nitrogen works in the soil and what it looks like when there isn’t enough might be the difference between poor yields and a bumper crop. Understanding torque and how to increase your force saves a lot of time figuring out how to get take off those old rusty nuts and saving a lot of cussing!

It might make sense that learning math, geography and science can go hand in hand with ranching, but reading and writing are just as crucial to ranch work success. More often than not, ranching is a DIY project that requires reading a manual and following instructions. Those reading and comprehension

skills long forgotten elementary teachers patiently taught are what a rancher banks on when it's up to him to get things up and running again.

I’ll admit it’s not too often that a rancher’s essay writing skills are put to the test but there are enough days of filling out paperwork, making requests, or communicating with other businesses and agencies that will require good grammar and knowing how to express a clear and complete thought.

There’s no doubt that for ranch kids, school is a bit of a let down compared to a hard working day on the ranch. Everyday out working is an adventure with something exciting to experience. But these long school days will play a big part in making them an even better ranch hand. Knowledge plus experience is a powerful thing and will put these ranch kids on the right track to having a bright future as the next generation of ag producers.

best, so I started listening. His presentation was supposed to last “only seven minutes.”

Well, 45 minutes later, Hadley who had joined me, and I were still listening. Dr. Lewis’ specially formulated supplement was supposed to cure macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and anything in between by getting our own latent stem cells back on track to address our eye problems. That sounds far-fetched

At 5:00 p.m., this group will do a walking audit where they will walk and assess sidewalks in Malad along a specified route. They will check out crosswalks, curb conditions, road conditions, and determine whether there is anything that would impede walking comfortably and safely. This audit will provide data and information so that the city can apply for grants to help fix curb and gutter, upgrade handicap accessibility, and improve the condition of some of our sidewalks.

in hindsight. However, the presentation was designed to keep me listening with references made to Nobel Prize Winners, research, testimonials, and legitimate eye supplements I was familiar with. By the end of the presentation Hadley and I were ready to order. Both of us had nothing to lose and for only $68 a bottle, we figured it was worth the gamble to help our eyesight. However, the marketing pitch kept going and promised a full six-month supply for even less money per bottle if we ordered in the next 35 minutes. That brought me to my senses.

I told Hadley I needed to check some things before we spent any money. I googled, I researched, and can you believe it? Dr. Lewis isn’t real. The stem cell research he reported is only in the preliminary trial stages for

eyes and must be monitored closely. You can’t just order it on-line. Darn it! Hadley and I can’t throw our glasses away. I think I’m nobody’s fool, but I almost fell for this marketing scheme. The presentation had just enough truth to keep me watching and addressed something I am concerned about. Lesson learned: Never buy after watching a marketing video until you have googled and researched to find out if it is legitimate. Call your kids, talk to others about what you are considering. The Good Life needs some protecting and most things that sound too good to be true are just that… too good to be true! Be wise and protect your Good Life! This has been a public service announcement brought to you by Gramma Dot… who almost got fooled!

THANK YOU

My family and I would like to thank the community for the love and the condolences that we received with the death of our dad Charles (Don) Atkinson. A special thanks to those who reached out and sent cards or sent over food for Verta. It means a lot

to us that friends are still reaching out and checking in on this special lady.

We’d like to thank Symbii for the love, care and support that dad received for his hospice care. They were very caring and supportive with our dad and helped the family through a difficult time.

A special thanks to Brad and everyone at Horsley’s Funeral Home for the care and the respect that was given to our dad.

Thank you to anyone who has reached out during this difficult time and has not been recognized.

Thank you so much!

Back to School

By:

Brynlee Bastian

School is back in session and in full swing! For the first day of the school, the Student Council held a welcome back assembly! This assembly introduced the staff of Malad High as well as the new students, including the Freshmen and foreign exchange students. The Dragonettes performed a dance that they learned at their dance camp this summer. Our cheer team performed, and taught the students two new cheers that our students will be using to support our Dragons! The students played a game called Students and Teachers. Essentially, the game was Ships and Sailors but with a Malad High twist. This game helped the students learn the ways of Malad High School and show school spirit! On Thursday morning the Student Council came in early, and made pancakes for the students and teachers, to congratulate the students on making it through the first week of school! There was music playing, pancakes flipping, and students smiling. Tori Green the Student Council advisor said,“I’m excited for this year, our Student Council has some fun ideas to promote school unity and spirit. This first week they did amazing and the students had a great time!” Overall, the first week of school was a hit. We can’t wait to have a great school year!

Dungeons and Dragons

By: Kaitlyn Pickett

One of the clubs Malad High School offers is the Dungeons and Dragons club. Mr. Crossley is the teacher who started it and oversees the meetings. Member count is unknown until they have their meeting Wednesday, September 6th after school. Mr. Crossley hopes that they can have a president in charge of the club and someone who is in charge of getting the information out. The meetings cater to the member’s availability.

“We had groups where one met every Thursday, and another once a month,” Crossley says. For students interested in joining, it is $30. This will pay for things like “Player’s Handbook”, dice, and other amenities a member may need for their journeys in Dungeons and Dragons.

Student Spotlight

By: Tanna Butler and Lea Dore

Braxton Kaufman, our student spotlight of the week, is a freshman at Malad High School. He was chosen by Mrs. Anderson for his outstanding kindness toward one of his peers. She said that, “he is the first one to go and ask him to work together, he helps him, and googles all the answers for him… he’s just really helpful”. High school really helped him mature and be more helpful towards his fellow classmates, he certainly learned to

step into the spotlight. Braxton wants his classmate to feel included in class and in groups activities, he said that, “He is a slower learner which makes less people want to have him in their group,” but our student spotlight doesn’t want to make any difference towards him or make him feel left out.

So let’s just all have the same mindset as Braxton towards our classmates!

STATE FAIR HIGHLIGHTS

The Eastern Idaho State Fair kicked off last Friday bright and early, with a busy weekend for a number of Malad kids. Oneida County was well-represented in the Dog Show events of Friday, and the Horse Show and Mustang auction on Saturday. Coming later in the week, many of Malad’s kids will also be involved in the Livestock events coming up on Thursday.

The State Fair is sometimes an intimidating venue for kids, who are now competing against others from all around southeast Idaho.

The first time can be nerve-wracking, even for the most confident of showmen. Oneida’s representatives all did a fantastic job of holding their own and taking events in stride.

One judging mix-up led to some confusion and a re-ordering of the placements, but it was handled with equanimity by the young handlers. Overall, the group from Malad have made an impressive showing in Blackfoot so far.

The Dog Show events included most of those who participated in the Oneida County Fair competition, and had a great showing in a competitive and robust field. Beginning early in the morning in the Dog Show arena, the handlers took their dogs out for the Showmanship contest. In the Junior Class, Megan Moss placed second, Eva Coleman was awarded third, and Riggin Munns fourth. The order originally had Malad’s kids awarded differently, but a miscalculation resulted in the final order once the numbers were settled.

In the Intermediate Class, Lyndee Nimer placed first in Open Class and Kayla Wilson placed second in Novice. Lyndee Nimer would go on to place 4th Overall in the Showmanship Championship round.

In Obedience, Audrey Moss took second in Beginner Class B, Riggin Munns took third in Pre-Novice, Kayla Wilson took fourth in Beginner A, and Eva Coleman took 5th in Beginner B.Samantha Schrenk ribboned in a number of events during the Horse Show, including a first in Snaffle Horse, third in Trail Riding, and sixth in Show and Reigning.

Addysin Murdock competed in the Mustang Trail Challenge, and then the Mustang auction sponsored by the BLM. As she contemplated saying goodbye to Vegas, the mustang she trained over the summer, she struggled to maintain her composure. As it turned out, Vegas was purchased by family friend Chaseon Kirkbride, meaning they won’t have to be separated after all! Asked whether she was planning to participate again in the event next year, she said, “Yeah…. but I’ll have to start

selling them then!”

As of press time, there was no official report on how Kristal Ford did in the 4-H Demonstration contest held on Monday, but when that outcome is known it will be reported.

The schedule for Fair events to be held through Thursday of this week was printed in last week’s Enterprise, and is available on the fair’s website funatthefair.com. The events which will close out the fair, including the 4-H Judging Contest and Junior Livestock Sale are listed below.

Winning Continues as Lady Dragons take two

Splitting their games away and home, the Lady Dragon volleyball team has been doing nothing short of dominating each of their matches as they move through their 2023 season. With another two wins to add to their streak, the MHS team is finding their rhythm, playing with power and finding success as they take to the volleyball court.

Tuesday, August 29, the team opened their week’s games as they traveled to Arimo to play against the Marsh Valley Eagles. The Lady Dragons took the match in three easy games as they won 2514, 25-22, and 25-24. With another win under their belt, the MHS volleyball team returned home to play their first home game of the season against 4A school Mountain Crest from Hyrum, Utah. The Lady Dragons came into the game ready for the challenge the Mustangs would bring and confident that between their skill and determination, they would win the night.

The first plays of the match started off a bit rocky for Malad, but the cold start quickly warmed up as outside hitter Brynnlee Jones brought energy to the team with several strong attacks to get the mo-

mentum rolling. Connecting with the ball on good serves, better passes and even better hits, the Lady Dragons quickly found themselves not only catching up, but taking the lead from Mountain Crest.

Teagan Daniels started on a particularly stellar rally for Malad with a great pass from deep in the back court to help set up a strong hit from the outside. Mountain Crest pulled up a strong attack in return that middle Liv Nelson saved from dropping just short of the ten foot line. After sending it back across the net, defensive specialist Brylee Oglesbee dug a big hit from Mountain Crest allowing setter Adley Kimberling to set up Hallie Horsley on the outside for another attack that their opponent was able to scrap together a return pass. With momentum

on their side, Oglesbee set up their final attack with a perfect passed, followed by a perfect set from Kimberling to culminate in a killer hit from Horsley that Mountain Crest could do nothing to defend.

As the Lady Dragons continued to attack the Mustangs, Mountain Crest found some success on the front line as their blockers put up stops to more Malad attacks. Despite their good blocking, the MHS volleyball kept right up with their play as they pulled together to cover their hitters, keeping the ball alive and second chances a possibility.

Anistyn Tovey had several plays in a row that found her up to the net picking up blocked hits followed to then run to the corner to pick up a deep corner hit. Not only did Tovey keep the ball alive and in play,

but also set up her team with a good pass that eventually ended in a successful hit.

Finding themselves up, 24-16, the Lady Dragons scored the game ending point on a hit from the right side by Izzy Haycock off a well placed backset that took the Mustangs by surprise.

Malad started off game two with a quick lead as Kimberling stepped to the service line, sending over serves that were difficult to pass and even harder for Mountain Crest to control. It was long before Malad was up 4-1.

The Lady Dragon front line defense began to step up as they moved into the second game, putting up blocks that set a real obstacle in the Mustang’s attack game. Nelson found success as she moved left, right and center, putting up a wall with both Haycoack and Horsley on each side of her.

The MHS volleyball team found themselves on a roll, widening the gap between themselves and their opponent on the scoreboard. Mikell Keetch came off the bench to serve, bringing the only ace of the game as she rolled the ball just over the net and too short for Mountain Crest to get under. The Mustangs managed to rally back, having a

small surge of energy that caught the Lady Dragons by surprise and on their heels.

Working to take control of the game back, Jones brought a strong attack that reenergized her team and put them back in the driver's seat again. Horsley, her outside counterpart, finished the game with a series of powerful hits from the outside to pound the ball down and win the second game, 25-19.

The Lady Dragons meant nothing but business as they moved into third and what would be their final game of the match. They took a commanding lead that they wouldn’t give up as they worked their way to a 25-14 win. While Malad handily won the game, Mountain Crest were undeterred with every ball that went their way. Their middle hitter brought a tough quick hit that could have easily caused chaos to the MHS defense.

However, the Lady Dragons were unphased as they worked together to keep the ball in play. Haycock often found herself stepping in to take charge on the second hit when Kimberling was forced to take the first, consistently connecting with her outside hitters and setting them up for the kill. Horsley had sever-

al crucial hits from the back row that brought Malad back up on top when getting the set to the front row was difficult.

Having good passers, hitters and setters taking control across the court led the Lady Dragons to their first home game victory of the season. Coach Tripp shared, “The girls were hyped for their first home game of the season- it’s always fun to play at home! Aside for the first two points of the game, we really controlled the game throughout the match. Mountain Crest was big and had some good hitters, but our defense and blocking was able to shut them down pretty well.

“Our outsides both did well. I was proud of Brynlee for swinging smart and effectively. She only had one error on the night which is awesome! Halley was a beast, attacking all over the court- front row and back row. But that all couldn’t have happened without great passing and setting, so shout out to everyone setting us up to be successful that night!”

The Lady Dragons next play as they compete in the two day Star Valley tournament on September 8 and 9.

The Lady Dragons are off to another very strong start to the volleyball season.

Dragons notch first home win of season!

The MHS football field was all abuzz Friday, September 1 as the Dragons celebrated their first home victory of the season as they defeated the Ririe Bulldogs. In their second win of the season, Coach Coby Crozier is seeing a lot of hard work, progress and results as his team continues to play through the challenges this season. From the kickoff of the first quarter, the Malad Dragon football team was full of intensity and aggression as they moved up and down the field, both offensively and defensively. Before the end of the first quarter, the Dragons led the game on the scoreboard with the first touchdown of the game by Brady Showell after a 64 yard pass from quarterback Braylen Tripp. Also in the first quarter, Showell scooped up a Malad forced fumble, covering 50 yards before scoring another MHS touchdown that was unfortunately called back, by what the fans considered an official error. Despite the touchdown being called back, the Dragons knew there was plenty of game yet to play with plenty of time for more opportunities at the goal line.

Malad scored again in the second quarter as Tripp and Showell connected in the air with a pass once again. After securing the ball, Showell put on the speed, finding his way to the endzone clear after passing the final two Ririe defenders. Offensively, the Dragons totalled 216 yards, 64 rushing and 152 passing. Coach Cro-

zier commented, “Ririe blitzed a lot the entire game which made it hard to get the run game going, which forced us to go to our pass game. It turned out to work for us after we settled into it and we were able to get some running in.”

Contributing to the offensive drives and the teams total yards were Tripp throwing for 152

yards, Ryan Hubbard with 40 yards rushing and 87 yards receiving, Showell with 64 yards receiving, and Timmy Jensen with 12 yards rushing. Tripp’s success throwing must be in part credited to his offensive line that successfully held off the relentless Bulldog defense, giving him time to find and connect with his receiv-

ers downfield. Talking about his offense, Coach Crozier said, “We had the ball only four times the entire game, but our kids were able to do their job with the time they had.” While it was the offense putting points on the scoreboard, it was the Dragon defense that really won the Friday night game. Ririe did

but such success was short lived as the Dragon backfield ably cut short the Bulldog rushing. With nearly a minute left in the 3rd quarter, Ririe capitalized on an opportunity to slip into the endzone after a long offensive drive, bringing the score to Malad 12, Ririe 8.

Moving into the fourth quarter, the Dragon defense turned up their intensity, with several players making big tackles. Jensen made a big stop as the Bulldogs attempted another run on a fourth down, making it Malad’s ball on at the Ririe 25 yardline and what would be their only offensive drive of the quarter.

As the clock ticked down, the Bulldogs had high hopes of scoring another touchdown to take the game as it came down the wire. They slowly marched to the endzone, gaining just enough yards to move the chains

The Dragons were sure they had cut the drive short as the game clock showed a little more than two

Desperate to make some ground, Ririe called a quick timeout to devise a plan that the Malad defense easily foiled. With just seconds left on the clock and only 14 yards from the endzone, the Bulldog quarterback threw the ball towards the end zone, but the ball went down incomplete. Taking another attempt at the play on their 4th down, Ririe sent another pass to their receiver in the backfield, only to find a Dragon defender there to bat the ball out of his hands and stop the drive completely. The Malad offense took to the field just long enough to snap the ball, take a knee and let the clock run out with the final score, 12-8.

The Dragon football team next looks to take on the North Fremont Huskies in Ashton on Friday, September 8 with the JV game beginning at 4:30 pm.

Lady Dragons end third week with Loss; Tie on the road

The Lady Dragon soccer team took to the road to compete as they went into their third week of the 2023 season. Facing opponents in American Falls and Firth, the team went head on into some tough matches that tested their skill, drive and fight. While they didn’t quite have the outcomes they were hoping for, they played a determined and aggressive game to the very last call of the whistle.

In their first game of the week, the MHS Soccer went up against the American Falls Beavers on Tuesday, August 29 in American Falls. The Beavers are historically an over aggressive, highly intense team that can often have little disregard for rules or sportsmanship. Playing such a team can be especially frustrating and discouraging but, in the words of Head Coach Shenell Clark, “The team might not have had their

best game, but I'm proud of them for continuing to work hard!”

American Falls led in goals, scoring 11 to Malad’s 3. Coming into the second half, the Lady Dragons were scoreless, but that only motivated them more to get a ball in the net and points on the scoreboard. Going up against the tough American Falls defense left few opportunities for shots but Malad was determined as Chali Briscoe, Bayli Nes-

CROSS COUNTY RESULTS

bit, Kaycee Venable, and Jaezie Jensen all took attempts to score. Nesbit, Jensen, and Venable each found just the right touch to make a little magic happen to score Malad as they played out the second half.

Malad’s goalkeeper, Aubrey Shulz, had her work cut out for her throughout the game as the Beaver offense dominated the time on the field. As they tirelessly worked to score, Schulz

was quick to deflect shots and attempts at the goal.

In the end, American Falls had 11 balls in the net while Shulz blocked an impressive 19 other attempts from scoring.

The team closed out their week of games in Firth, ending the game against the cougars in a tie. The Cougars came out strong as the team went into the second half, really capitalizing on opportunities to make their way to the goal and get the

ball passed the defense. Shulz once again stepped up big to put a stop to all but a few of their scoring attempts. The final score of the game was Malad 3Firth 3.

The Lady Dragons and coaches Shenell Clark, Sherri Blaisdell, and Justice Esplin have another two game week, taking on the Diggers in Sugar City on Tuesday, September 5 and the Marsh Valley Eagles in Malad on Thursday, September 7.
