Historic Tropical Storm Hilary drenches

west

(LA Times) Hilary is the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years. The unprecedented storm flooded roads, toppled trees and forced a rescue by bulldozer of more than a dozen older residents trapped by mud in a care home Monday as it moved northward, prompting flood watches and warnings in half a dozen states. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Hilary had lost much of its steam and only vestiges of the storm were heading over the Rocky Mountains, but it warned that “continued life-threatening and locally catastrophic flooding” was expected over portions of the Southwestern U.S., following record-breaking rainfall. Forecasters said the threat for flooding in states farther north on Monday was high across much of southeastern Oregon and into the west-central mountains of Idaho, with potential thunderstorms and localized torrential rains on Tuesday.

Oneida County Fair Showmanship and Quality Results

Next week, the Enterprise will provide more details on the participants from each class of the showmanship classes, including a more complete accounting of the Bucket Calf, Horse, and Rabbit shows, as well as the list of buyers, sponsors, and Ad-ons for the Market Sale and Fair. This week, we will overview the shows and events held at the Fair, as well as results for Overall Grand Champion and Reserve Champion winners and Quality rankings from the wide range of events that took place over the week.

Sheep Show

Showmanship

A large number of participants were on hand for the Sheep Show, which was one of the biggest in recent history. Due to the high level of competition, both the Show and Quality classes resulted in some amazing sheep this year, with Alivia Waldron taking Grand in both Overall Show and Quality, and Aubrey Shulz taking Reserve in both categories. A newly added category, Carcass, used an ultrasound to examine the body composition of the animals and name a winner for ideal form. Asher Brower’s sheep won that award.

Spain wins Women’s World Cup over England

(AP) Spain won its first Women’s World Cup title less than a year after a player dispute, managing to hold off England 1-0 on Sunday after a first-half goal. The victory made La Roja the first team to hold the under-17, under-20 and senior world titles at the same time. Spain is the fifth winner in nine editions of the Women’s World Cup and joins Germany as the only two nations to win both the men’s and women’s tournaments. At the end of the match, the Spanish players celebrated in front of their goal until the trophy presentations, where they kissed the trophy and raised their arms in victory. The English team was trying to bring a World Cup back to England for the first time since 1966, but fell just short.

Visitors urged to stop posing nude

(CNN) A British farm has urged visitors to stop posing naked for photographs in its field of sunflowers. The owners of Stoke Fruit Farm on Hayling Island, off England’s south coast, issued the unusual request on social media, having noticed a growing number of visitors stripping naked to pose for pictures among the blooms. In a post on Facebook earlier this month, the farm wrote: “Reminder to all we are a family area, and please keep your clothes on in the sunflowers! We are having an increase of reports of naked photography taking place, and this must not happen during our public sessions, please!” Sam Wilson and sister Nette Petley run the farm that their grandfather set up. It comprises 350 acres, producing wheat, peas, potatoes, pumpkins, squash, sweetcorn, hay – and sunflowers. Wilson told CNN Friday that there had been about six incidents of people stripping off among the sunflowers since the field opened to visitors at the end of last month.

The Livestock Sale this year was dedicated to Sherrie Moeller, who recently retired from the Ag Extension Office.

Sawyer Fonnesbeck, Mattie Semrad, and Kelly Sorensen worked long hours in the lead up and during the Fair to make it all happen.

4-H Round Robin

The 4-H Round Robin allows the Grand Champion winners from across the Fair events to demonstrate their skills with a variety of animals. Under the format, those champions show each of the animal categories of the other winners, including their own, and the winner is decided by a combined score across the varieties of show. This year’s winner was Alivia Waldron. Winners from previous years are not eligible for the Overall Championship in the event, and don’t usually compete.

Champions: Rawzen Munns (Beef), Abbie Cox (Dairy Goat), Samantha Schrenk (Horse), Alivia Waldron (Sheep), Brooke Isaacson (Swine).

Clippers (donated by Rocky Mountain Power) Winner: Alivia Waldron.

Livestock Judging

Livestock judging gave anyone who was interested the chance to practice their livestock judging skills. A visiting judge assigned an order to each class of animal (beef, pigs, sheep, and market lambs) and those who paid a dollar were able to submit their score cards to see how close to the judge their own scoring was. The judge was impressed at how well the winners in all levels performed, and there was only a small distance between the winners of each. Oneida County proved it has impressive livestock knowledge!

Not Just FOR GRANDPARENTS ONLY

By Gramma Dot

This week you parents and kids are invited to read along. You will notice 19 of the 22 humans in the accompanying photo are grandparents. In fact, a few are great-grandparents. You will also notice the picture was taken at the new Pickleball Complex, which was a field at the beginning of the summer. There are two pads: the East Pad and the West Pad. Each pad has four courts making a total of eight great courts for our community. You don’t have to be a grandparent to play. You know how your grandparents ask for technical advice when one of their devices acts up. Well, you can now ask a grandparent for advice on how to play pickleball, even getting into the technical stuff like how to keep score; what is the difference between an outdoor and an indoor ball, when is dinking the right thing to do, etc…. There are lots of technical details in this game. Technical details your grandpa or grandma might know.

Grandparents are an

interesting bunch. They know how to laugh, play and throw a paddle or two, but the most important thing you can learn from them is how to get things done. Lance Tripp on the City Council, who is a grandpa, got a group together and named them the Pickleball Committee. The first thing the Committee did was elect Rebecca Firth as the Committee Chair. She kept things going, was the first one at the work site, and brought cookies. The City committed to financial help but could not afford to finance the whole project. So, Lance and the Committee went to work looking for help. It seems like people want to be part of something bigger than themselves, and not all of them were grandparents! Hess Pumice, Non-typical Excavation, Nucor Steel, AARP Idaho, Messerly Construction, Parsons Cement, Ace Hardware, Malad Rock Products, Malad Recreation, and the City all came through in a big way, but perhaps the real key to the project was Rex Robbins.

Rex, who is a grandpa,

was on the Committee and has construction experience. He and Dave Colton, also a committee member, taught the rest of us how to put in forms, tie rebar, work cement, and be nice while we did it. Our resumes have expanded, and the field has turned into a Pickleball Complex. Rex, whacked the first ball over the net on Wednesday, August 16. Then, the 22 in the picture played on the East Pad for what turned out to be a Good Life morning. Now, in case you think it was easy, it wasn’t, and it’s not over yet. We are so grateful to those of you who have already donated. The donation list is long and donors will be recognized, but we still owe $25,000+. We hope the whole town will come and play, and we hope if you haven’t donated you will. Just stop by the City Office and leave a check or Venmo Oneida Recreation and designate your gift for pickleball. You’ll be part of something bigger than youself and help us all live The Good Life!

PS: No black soled shoes on the courts, please!

Donald J. Hess

Nov. 3, 1948 - Aug. 15, 2023

Donald J. Hess was born on November 3, 1948, to Hebert A. and Alta John Hess in Logan, Utah. He passed away August 15, 2023, in Malad, Idaho.

Dad was a hard worker his entire life. He took great pride in the excellent work he did with his lawn care business, which he loved. We know his clients were always pleased with the care he took of their yards. He was a Jack of all Trades who could and would fix anything that anyone asked of him.

He was so proud of his children Jay, Jeff, Julie, Syd, and Felicia. He talked about them all the time. He will be missed by all of them and his loving wife, Beth. She completed him.

Dad was preceded in death by his parents, Herb A. and Alta; son Ronlee; brothers Ronald, Herb B, and Boyd and sisters Lavona and Ruth.

Dad is survived by his loving wife, Beth; sons Jay (Marcy), Jeff (Mindy), and Syd; daughters Julie and Felicia

Donald J. Hess

(Asosa) and his grandchildren. Also surviving are his brother Bob and sisters Sally (Ken) and Julene (Tom) and many nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday, August 23, at 12 noon at Horsley Funeral Home, 132 W. 300 N. A viewing will be held Tuesday evening from 7-8 p.m. and again Wednesday morning from 11:00-11:45 a.m.

A Tribute to Don Hess

I didn't see Don in Church on Sunday. I wonder where he could be. He works so hard – and gives his all – helping you and me.

"Hey Don, I have a lawn to mow I'm having company you see."

"You bet, I'll do it, I'll have it done, you can sure count on me."

"Hey Don, I have a plumbing problem and money is running low."

"Don't worry I have some time, I'll get it done just so."

One day, Don came up at a funeral and handed some cash to me.

"I don't know if these folks have money, I'd like to help you see."

Then on Tuesday, Don looked around and wondered where he had gone –then he saw the thousands of people he'd helped –With grateful hearts, he was welcomed home.

"St. Peter, I'm not a Religious man, you can tell by the words I speak."

But with tears running down St. Peter's face –"It's the kind heart you keep."

Thank you, Don, for your kindness to us and your many thoughtful deeds.

It's because of you – you took our loads. We are as thankful as can be.

So, Don, you take a rest now and I'm sure before too long, you'll be mowing in the Beautiful Great Beyond!

Sincerely, Debbie & Spence Horsley and all of the many people you helped

The monthly meeting of the Oneida School Board was held on August 15, 2023, with a quorum present; Chalae Teeples and Tresie Carter were absent. Kelly Hill, Director of Oneida School District Transportation, was honored for receiving the Spot Inspection of the Year Award for Region 5 from the Idaho State Department of Transportation. (See The Idaho Enterprise of August 17.)

Finalization of Bond Sale

Eric Heringer, Brandon Helgeson, and Nick Miller of Piper Sandler, an investment banking and financial services company, were present via Zoom to explain the final bond language to ensure it is ready to sell to fund the building of the new elementary school. Attorneys with Hawley Troxell were the legal advisers for the bond, and J.P. Morgan is the lender. As explained by the representatives of

Piper Sandler, $20 million will be tax exempt with less than $9 million taxable at 5.67%. Because of House Bill 292, the District will receive more funding from the State than was expected at the time of the bond election, making the District’s share $8.8 million instead of $9.9 million. The bond sale will close on August 31. Because of its advantageous financial position due to the additional money from the State, the District will be able to hold another bond election soon to fund an auditorium/ gymnasium for the high school. Once the District’s debt capacity allows, which should be in less than three years, another bond election will be held to ensure the District is eligible to receive State funding for the new facility. The District’s share of the cost of the new facility will again be in hand, resulting in no new cost to taxpayers.

In answer to a question from Board member Brandon Ward, Superintendent Jon Abrams explained that the bond for the elementary school cannot be paid off early without incurring additional charges that would offset the advantages of early repayment. The bond is scheduled to be paid off in three years.

Superintendent Facilities Report

Superintendent

Abrams reported that the buildings will be ready for school to start on Monday, August 21. The opening staff meetings held during the past two weeks have gone well, and teachers, administrators, and staff are ready for students to arrive for a new school year.

Roofs have been replaced on Malad Middle School and Stone Elementary School and partially replaced where needed on Malad High School. The re-paved and striped parking lots at Malad Middle and High Schools are ready. The new bus drop-off areas at the Middle and High Schools will be marked so parents will be able to figure out the new traffic patterns. Concrete footings are being poured for the new elementary school. A water leak was discovered near the north end of the school (near Pioneer Park) and has been fixed. The construction project is on schedule.

The ball diamonds are progressing although Mr. Abrams has been told he needs to go to the City Planning and Zoning Committee to get full approval for the diamonds. Two bids were received for development of the ball diamonds. The bid from Idaho Materials for $739,900 was the low bid and was approved by the Board.

New Computer Apps

Mr. Abrams and Kelly Hill explained that new computer software, “Bus Right,” will enable parents to see where school buses are, which will be convenient especially on days when there is a delayed start due to bad weather.

The new “Oneida 351” app mirrors the District website (oneidaschooldistrict.org) and can be downloaded by the public to provide easy access to the website. The app will provide notifications of announcements, such as school closures or late starts, and the calendars of events for all schools. Information about such resources as those for mental health and suicide awareness can be found on the website and on the “Oneida 351” app.

Board Actions

The Board approved changes to the Dual Enrollment Policy to bring the District policy into alignment with changes in State policy.

Representatives of the Malad High School Girls Soccer Team were

for the rest of August.

Will begin again on Sept. 8th

present to provide information as the Board considered the District funding the soccer team as it does all other interscholastic teams. The team has had to raise all of its own funds for coaches’ salaries (most have been volunteer), trips, and team expenses since the Board approved girls’ soccer several years ago as a high school sport but without funding the team. The Board voted to bring the funding of the girls’ soccer team into alignment with funding of the other high school sports.

Representatives of the Malad High School Cross Country Team were present as the Board considered their request to participate in the Bob Firman Invitational Cross Country Meet, one of the premier meets in the region, to be held at Eagle Island State Park near Boise. The Board approved the team trip for August 2223.

The Board approved an overnight trip on September 8-9 for the Malad High School Volleyball Team to go to Star Valley, Wyoming.

The Board reminded the teams that if trips are over 100 miles, the extra expenses must be paid by the teams.

Mr. Bob Hannah, Principal of Malad Middle School, spoke briefly about the request from Jennifer Hill for a cheerleading team to be started at Malad Middle School. The Board voted to table action on the request to allow for more information to be provided and to determine the impact of another sports team on existing teams at the Middle School.

In other actions, the Malad High School Handbook for 20232024 was approved. The Board approved the stipends for coaches after Mr. Abrams explained that coaching stipends were based on percentages of the coaches’ base salaries. The Board approved the bus routes for the year; they are the same as last year.

Mr. Abrams noted that the school dress policy needs to be reviewed at a work meeting. The District will be purchasing a new car as the transmission in the Chevy Cruze is no longer fixable.

The following personnel were approved, pending their passing the State-mandated background check: Alice Nieffenegger as a Malad Elementary School cook; Kimberly Jeppson as a MES computer lab paraprofessional; Justin Howe as a MES

special education aide; Elizabeth Godfrey and Beth McClain as Malad Middle School paraprofessionals; JaNae Daniels as a Malad High School special education paraprofessional; Denise Rich as a special education bus aide; Brianne Adams as MHS head softball coach; Laren Nalder as MMS assistant football coach; Tylee Skinner as MHS assistant cross country coach; Baylee Burbidge as MMS assistant cross country coach; Kaliegh Worrell as a Stone Elementary School special education paraprofessional; and Mark Colton and Patrick Evans as substitute bus drivers. Emergency provisional certification was approved for Ashlyn Jacobsen as a MHS English teacher. Susan Clark and Erika Taysom were approved for ABCTE alternative authorization for elementary teacher certification.

Idaho Home Learning Academy

Enrollment at IHLA continues to increase with over 7000 students enrolled this year. Because of the expansion of IHLA, the State is requiring some changes in the organization of the school, including IHLA becoming a charter school. More discussion of this change and its impact on the District will come at a work meeting at a date to be determined.

The Board approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Legacy Family School to provide curricula for IHLA.

The Board approved 39 teachers and staff for IHLA. The Board approved alternative authorization for content specialists through ABCTE for 37 IHLA teachers.

Two other IHLA teachers were approved for other alternative authorization certification methods. Emergency provisional certification was approved for one IHLA teacher.

Upcoming Meetings

The Idaho School Board Association annual convention will be in November in Boise. The next meeting of the ISBA Region 5 will be on October 2 in Pocatello. Due to some conflicts, the October meeting of the Oneida School Board will be on October 24, the fourth Tuesday instead of the third.

Year October 1, 2023 - September 30, 2024

A budget totaling $2,425,820 has been tentatively approved. A public hearing prior to the adoption of the final budget will be held September 6, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. at Oneida County Event Center, 459 South Main Street, Malad, Idaho.

The tournament took place on Friday and Saturday, August 10 and 11. Jo went in the first day hitting an 89 and led the field for the day. On the second day she could do nothing wrong! She beat her personal low by five strokes and parred 15 of the 18 holes, ending up with a 78, for a total 167 to end the competition, making her the Skyway Golf Course Women's Champion.

Oneida County Search and Rescue Commander Steve Coakley was informed on Sunday that former SAR Commander Gaylen Garrett attained the status of Apprentice Tracker at this weekend's tracking class, which was held in Cardwell, Montana. this level will enable Garrett to bring the tracking training to Oneida County.

Although this level is quite impressive and the highest level ever attained by a member of Oneida County Search and Rescue, Coakley stated that Garrett has already distinguished himself as a superior tracker by locating a knife used in the commission of a crime in a campground in New Canyon last year. This black handled knife had not been previously located.

Many SAR members are looking forward to Garrett sharing his knowledge about tracking with them.

A team of horses from the lightweight division, which pulled 6,500 pounds in the competition, were placed on one end of a chain. Then, 26 football players were placed on the other end of the chain. The horses took off much faster than the football players, pulling the team right over. Next, 30 players were placed on the end of the chain to pull against this same team of horses. Once again, the horses pulled the team right over. The last chance of the football team came when all 42 players were put on the end of the chain against the horses.

The Malad Dragon football season isn’t waiting for school to be in full swing before they take to the grid iron for some fall games. In a preseason game against the American Falls Beavers, the MHS varsity football team found success as they worked out the kinks to begin their 2023 fall season.

In their first Friday night game of the year, the Dragon football team clashed against the Beavers in American Falls on August 18. The game was a good look to see just where the MHS team is sitting as they start into their fall schedule. After the game, MHS head coach Coby Crozier was pleased with what he saw on the field and excited to see what the rest of the season will bring.

The team worked well

to execute on both offense and defense, with a few plays standing over the night. With a little extra footwork, quarterback Braylen Tripp managed a 25 yard scramble for a touchdown and six points on the scoreboard for the Dragons. Tripp also brought out a fake punt pass in a crucial moment of the game that allowed for a first down that led to a scoring drive for Malad. Running back Ryan Hubbard had an additional touchdown after a short four yard to make it across the goal line. All in all, the offense totaled up 155 yards- 96 yards rushing and 59 yards passing. The MHS defense stepped up as well, bringing in some big stops to keep the Beavers from moving the chains forward. Brady

Showell was on his game when picked the ball on the American Falls yard line and ran for Dragon territory, until he was stopped at the Malad 30 yard line. The play was a huge momentum swing, elevating the energy and intensity for the MHS team. The Dragons pulled out the win as the game came to a close, 12-6.

It’s still early in the season to anticipate how the upcoming weeks will turn out but if this opening game is any indication of how the Dragons will play, it could be a very exciting season. With both offense and defense starting off with solid and keen play, the MHS football team could have a very promising year.

Soon enough, the schedule will be packed with games of all fall

Dragon sports. The MHS Volleyball team looks to have their opening game Wednesday, August 23 as they play Declo in Declo. The Lady Dragon Soccer

team will host Firth on Wednesday in Malad for their season opening game. Cross Country will host the Terry Jones Invitational meet in Malad Thursday, August

Oneida County Cowboy Classic Rodeo

It was standing room only as the Oneida County Cowboy Classic Rodeo rolled into Thursday and Friday nights of the county fair. The annual rodeo didn’t disappoint in the least as cowboys and cowgirls from near and far entered in to win a little cash and a little rodeo glory. From the first queen to enter the rodeo to the last bull rider to walk out, the night was full of entertainment and excitement.

The rodeo Thursday night began with an extra splash of action as a thunderstorm came rolling through the valley. With thunder, lightning and an ensuing downpour close on its heels, the storm brought the rodeo to a screeching halt just as it was about to begin. Despite the delay and soggy start, devoted rodeo fans weren’t about to let a little rain ruin a good rodeo. With the first pull of the chute, the opening night of the rodeo went off without a hitch.

The stock provided by Hoggan Rodeo Com-

pany pushed the contestants each rodeo night and together they put on a top notch show. In the bareback, notoriously the most dangerous event in rodeo, there were two qualified rides to end the rodeo. In first place was Ty Hawkes with 76 points followed by Tyson Hirschi in second place with 75 points. The calf roping cowboys equally struggled to get times for the rodeo. In first place was Ike Clayson with a time of 9.5 seconds with Wyatt Cutler close on his heels with 10.5 seconds. The cowgirls roping in the breakaway found a little more success with six contestants taking home a little money in their pocket. Tying for first place with a time of 2.9 seconds was Katelyn Evans Lili Bell. In third place was Chloe Berlin with a 3.2, followed by Shay Freeland in fourth place, behind by just one tenth of a second. Jetta Bott and Kiara Eames tied for fifth place at 3.4 seconds to round out the top six

Nathanael Musser followed in third place with 71 points and Baxton Udy had the fourth place qualifying ride with 69 points.

The rodeo featured two sections of roping, both an open team roping and a #10 section. Of the twenty two teams competing in the open team roping, Chaz Kananen and Jace Nielsen took first place with a time of 5.7 seconds. In second place was Trevor Bott and Conor Ward with a time of 7.4. Tyler Bell and Barrett Thurston won third place with a time of 8.2 seconds, followed by Colby Siddoway and Colter Buttars in fourth place with a time of 10.2 seconds.

time of 9.7 seconds. Just shy of the first place time was Will Cutler and Cole Gunter with a 9.8 for second place. In third place was Kayla Erickson and Randy Wanner with 11.3 seconds. Tim Ekstrom and BoDee Ekstrom, another Malad father-son duo, took fourth place with a time of 12.9 seconds. In fifth place, with a time of 13.1 seconds were Will Cutler and George Swan.

The bulls got the best of the cowboys in the bull riding event. Over the two night rodeo, there wasn’t a qualified ride to make it past the eight second mark. To finish out each rodeo night, a brave few competed in the Ring of Fear. The event features ten contestants that are given a hula hoop that they have to drag around the arena as they work to avoid being the target of a loose bucking bull. The contestants ranged from the brave-bordering-on-crazy that were willing to take a hit from the charging bull to the smart few that chickened out just after the bull would look in their direction. The highly entertaining, adrenaline pumping event was just the ticket to end the night

will travel to Lyman, Wyoming for their next game under the lights Friday, August 25.

The Sweetheart Race features not just a little fancy riding, a little dress-up know how. One member of a two man team has to run down the arena to the barrel, jump on top of the barrel and dress in the contents of the purse. Once clad in their get-up, the rider can come down, scoop up their teammate and make their way back to the starting line riding double.

The football team

The Dragons bring down the American Falls runner. Pictured are #11 Holden Tubbs, #22 Brady Showell, #50 Blaize Wright, #5 Ryan Hubbard, #7 Dylan Moss, and #58 Sawyer Poulson.

The opening event of the Family Fun Rodeo is always the Stock Horse race featuring riders and horses that have a little need for speed. Samantha Shrenk came out to quickly take the lead and win race.

The Nell J Redfield Memorial Hospital sponsored the Boy Sheep chase where boys 10 and under ran to grab a little cash off the wool of the sheep running across the arena. The savvy sheep kept the boys at bay for quite a while before they finally cornered him.

The Hide Race features a rider dragged by horse across the arena on a large carpet square, around the barrel and back to the starting line. A strong grip and a tight chin tuck are a must for the brave rider.

The Poor Man roping features two horseless team ropers that must head an heel a steer just as if they were on horseback. The teams are allowed a total of three loops to throw but must finish their run in under 30 seconds.
