Longtime “Price is Right” host Bob Barker passed away Saturday at the age of 99. Barker, famous as both a TV personality and an advocate for animal rights causes began hosting his most well-known gameshow in 1972, and officially retired in 2007.
While the Oneida County Fair is in the books for 2023, for many 4-H, FFA, and Open Class participants, the work is only halfway complete for many of the participants. The Eastern Idaho State Fair kicks off in Blackfoot on Friday morning, and Malad will be well represented in the very first competitive show, the 4-H Working Ranch Show. Throughout the week that follows, a number of events
will involve competitors from Oneida County, including the Dog Show, Mustang Trail Challenge and Auction, a number of Horse Show events, 4-H Demonstrations, the Beef Show, and others. In addition to the various animal categories, a number of local Open class participants will compete in the Fair with their entries. No official list of Open Class entrants is available, but anecdotally,
entries will be submitted in quilting, sewing, handwork, fine arts, and photography categories.
The State Fair is a chance for those who have had success locally to test their skills and talents against a much larger field of competition. The increased scale of the setting can be intimidating to first time participants, and even those who have competed at the state level in the past, so please
make time to support and cheer on representatives of the community if you can. Qualifying and entering the big show is an impressive accomplishment, and the 4-H and FFA organizations are proud of all of their participating members.
The BLM/Mustang program is for 4H youth 14 and up. They are able to obtain a yearling mustang to train for 90 days. The object is to gentle and train the mustang to be able to complete an in hand trail course at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. The Mustangs are then up for auction/adoption the next day. The money from the auction goes back to the club with the $25 adoption fee going back to the BLM.
In the Mustang Wrangler Club the money goes back to the trainer.
The mustangs are brought by the BLM to a designated area to be picked up. 10 kids will be able to view them and compile a list ordered from first pick to

In an official press release, Yellowstone Park advises “As part of ongoing efforts required under the Endangered Species Act to monitor the population of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the U.S. Geological Survey, in conjunction with the National Park Service, is working to inform the public that pre-baiting and scientific capture operations are once again about to begin within Yellowstone National Park. Biologists with the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team (IGBST) will begin field captures on Aug. 28 and continue through Oct. 31. Capture operations can include a variety of activities, but all areas where work is being conducted will have primary access points marked with warning signs. It is critical that all members of the public heed these signs.”
(AP) — Dennis Rader, the BTK serial killer whose self-given nickname stands for “Bind, Torture, Kill,” played a cat and mouse game with investigators and reporters for decades before he was caught. But Rader gradually faded from view after his 2005 arrest, as he served one life term for each of the 10 people he was convicted of killing. He made headlines again this week, though, because he was named the prime suspect in an Oklahoma teen’s 1976 disappearance and a Missouri woman’s 1990 killing. The investigation into whether Rader, 78, was responsible for additional crimes started with the reexamination of the disappearance of Cynthia Kinney, a 16-year-old cheerleader who was last seen at a laundromat in Pawhuska, Oklahoma.
Rader worked for ADT Security Systems at the time, and the bank across the street was getting a new security system.
(EastIdahoNews.com) Deer and elk hunting in Idaho will be similar to last year, but hunters in eastern Idaho will likely see firsthand the effects of a brutal winter that hit mule deer hard. Elk herds remain stable to increasing in most of the state. One of the most severe winters on record hit the east side of the state roughly along the Wyoming and Utah borders, and officials predict that deer hunting there is going to be challenging this season.

Oneida City and County will once again be participating in the National Day of Service, established to foster community togetherness and pride in commemoration of the sacrifices of first-responders and communities following 9/11. In the past, projects have included the beautification of roadsides and outdoor areas, work on restoring and improving buildings, painting facilities such as Pioneer Park, planting trees, and others. See further details inside the paper.
This year’s Day of Service will be observed on Saturday, September 9. The Day of Service was started to commemorate the sacrifices of first responders and the resilience of communities across the county in the aftermath of the events of 9/11/2001. The organizers of the original day wanted to recapture the sense of solidarity and shared awareness that characterized the country’s response to the unprecedented attacks on American soil and its people.
Since its inception, the Day of Service has continued to expand. Communities work together to beautify and celebrate the places they live, and spend time with their neighbors in the capacity of service.
This year’s events are being headed up by Vicky Kent and Scott Gunter, as well a number of volunteer leaders for each individual project. More information can be found about the planned projects at JustServe.org. An oddity of the website is that typing in Malad’s zip code will not provide complete details of events, so visitors are advised to use “Malad City” or “Holbrook” in the search bar, depending on the location they are looking for.
Organizer Scott Gunter stressed that if people were unsure what they
might want to volunteer for, the food collection, sorting, and storage jobs need the most people. The website will indicate locations where extra help is still needed, though Gunter can be reached at 1-208-3171612 with any questions about the needs or locations. Additional contact information is printed below where available.

Varsity was able to grab the win after putting up a good fight. Adley Kimberling, a senior on Varsity said that Declo was “pretty good” and that “ we had to play toward the last set we were down 20-24 and came back and won 26-24.” Junior Varsity also triumphed, the final score being 19-25.

last. As their names are drawn they choose their mustang. The mustangs are then brought home to begin the 90 days training. Training starts slowly with getting used to the 4H member. Feeding, watering, and just hanging out closer and closer to the mustang until they can get the first touch. Once that is done things start moving a little faster, touching, then haltering. Once the trainer is able to catch
the mustang and start moving it around in a controlled space then they start introducing new objects and more obstacles. Addysin Murdock introduced a tarp, exercise ball, pool noodles, a homemade trail course and even a T rex costume. The Bond and trust grows through conquering these things. In the eyes of the organizers and participants, a good outcome would be to successfully and safely complete the trail course.
Chaseon Kirkbride, who is involved as a parent (his daughter trained a mustang last year) and a leader with the program says, “As a leader I have really enjoyed this program. Watching the confidence of both the horse and 4H member grow and the bond between them is a great thing.”
Addysin Murdock, participating in this year’s event, says, “I have done horse 4H with my horse (Noodles) for 4 years. The mustang
(Vegas) took on a different challenge. I enjoyed working with him and bonding with him and just being silly with him. It was a lot of dedication and a lot of work but it was worth it.”
The Mustang in hand trail challenge is Friday September 1 at 11 a.m. in the Infield East Arena at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. The adoption will be the next day Saturday, September 2 at 11:30 a.m. in the Grandstand Arena. All the mustangs will be available for viewing in the Light Horse barn on both days.
One of the most recent acquisitions by the Oneida Pioneer Museum is the full dress uniform worn by James Peter Jensen during the Spanish-American War. The family of Rex and Thora Jensen donated the uniform along with photos taken in 1898 of sites related to the war when Rex’s father, James Peter, was stationed in the Philippines. Other memorabilia, including buttons, Filipino money, a money pouch, and a pocket knife were also brought to the Museum by Rex Jensen’s daughter, Jeannine Jensen Mills.
The Museum has a good collection of uniforms from World Wars I and II, but this is the first uniform from the Spanish-American War to be added to the collection.
The United States entered this war to
support the ongoing struggle by Cuba and the Philippines against Spanish rule. The Spanish-American War was fought between May and August 1898 with the official ending of the war on December 10, 1898, when the Treaty of Paris was signed. Approximately 280,500 men served in the war, and 2061 died. The war ended Spanish rule in the Western Hemisphere. The 1st Idaho Volunteer Infantry served in the Philippines during the war. At the time the Idaho unit was mustered into service at Boise, the unit consisted of 32 officers and 644 enlisted men. This four-month war was a turning point in United States history because it marked the transformation of the United States from a developing nation into a global power. At the end of the war, the United States had acquired the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
The Jensen family’s donation of this uniform brings the history of this short but important war to Oneida County.
The Oneida Pioneer Museum will close on Labor Day although tours of the Museum can be made by appointment throughout the year.

Concert in the Park goes on despite rain!
The Long Run, an Eagles Tribute Band, had to take a short intermission during a rainstorm on Wednesday night, but concert-goers braved out the brief storm and the concert continued.
As happened earlier in the day, a thunderstorm came through bringing a hard rain; then hail and then stopping after about 15 minutes. The problem was not so much with the rain, but with the lightning, which one of the band members said does not work very well with their electronic equipment. Most of those attending quickly pulled out umbrellas when the rain started, and some took shelter under the pavilion and trees. They were happy when the storm didn't last long and the concert started back up.
The Malad LDS Stake Building was buzzing with activity on Friday and Saturday, August 24 and 25. On Friday, volunteers met to sort through clothing, household items, books, toys and many other items donated by the community to benefit members of the community.
Even though the home of Brad and Wendy Hess is outside of the city limits – just barely – they were nominated by a friend as a City Yard of the Month and city judges agreed it was deserving of the honor.
"Brad builds it and I decorate it," said Wendy Hess. Brad admits that he is a concrete and grass guy, but the couple have worked together to build and decorate a yard that looks natural in its setting.

Dustin and Christine Smith earned the Yard of the Month honors. Their beautiful yard is lined with new trees and bushes. A gorgeous array of colorful Pansies, Alyssum and Geraniums fill a front flowerbed and surrounding their lovely home are huge overflowing flowerpots.
Jim and Nancy Cranmer earned Top Yard honors in the County. Nancy said that she loves taking care of the yard. She tries to make the setting look like an old farmhouse.

By Gramma DotAndy Rooney was always my favorite part of 60 Minutes. His distinctive face and unique voice set a perfect tone
for his satirical messages, which he packed into just a few minutes each Sunday night. Recently, I was perusing some of his “famous” quotes when I came across, “The best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.” Really? Maybe this quote is just satire. I don’t remember gathering up
gems of wisdom at anyone’s feet or for that matter from anyone’s words. My Grandparents’ lives, however, did teach me a thing or two.
Grandma Thorpe loved visiting. Grandpa Thorpe loved naps. Grandma Bloxham loved to read. Grandpa Bloxham loved horses. Visiting, napping, reading and horses. I’ve picked up on two of the four and anticipate napping joining the list soon.
After thinking about this for a while, I may need to do some changing. I spend a lot of time dispensing important points like “Hairbrushes belong in the bathroom,” but the hairbrushes continue to be everywhere except in the bathroom.
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup avocado – cubed Add all ingredients into a large bowl, EXCEPT the avocado; mix well. Gently fold in avocado pieces. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Enjoy over toast, with crackers, or rolled in a tortilla!

“Shoes go in the box by the door,” but I still trip over shoes on the rug and throughout the house. Those girls have learned something though, because if I ever leave my shoes anywhere except in the box or in my closet, I hear about it immediately. I guess what I’ve taught them is to yap about needed change.
So, Mr. Rooney, I’m going to quit yapping. In fact, I’m trying right now to remember anything specific you ever said or yapped about. I can’t, I have to look up your quotes. But I do remember you were always there, and your words made me smile. That seems to be a good use of words…making others smile, and I like the idea of being there. Both important elements of the Good Life. Brushes and shoes are just things to yap about.

Avis Semrad spoke on behalf of the FSA requesting that the fee for the Event Center be waived to allow the FSA to host its annual event at the Center. The Event will be held on September 26. Last year, the event was held at the City Park, which experienced a thunderstorm. The event will thank customers, but also provide information to those interested about various programs available to local farmers. Chairman Lewis was concerned about the waiving of the fee setting a precedent for others seeking to use the venue. Semrad reminded the commission that the FSA was a government agency, and therefore somewhat different than most petitioners. The question of whether the event might be able to be held in conjunction or with the support of the Ag Extension Office was discussed. A motion to allow the fee waiver for the FSA due to its status as a government agency and educational institution was made by Ken Eliason. The motion carried. FSA committed to the cleanup of the facility after the event.
Dan Williams reported that his emergency EMP budget from the previous cycle will come to an end at the end of the fiscal year, September 30. The remaining money that needs to be spent before that deadline as a part of the granting process was discussed. Williams stated that the funds needed to be spent (around $1,000) or it would return to the state budget. Williams suggested that investing in pallets of water or freeze dried emergency food items might be a good avenue. Commissioner Jeppsen suggested the purchase of water purification devices. County
Attorney Brower mentioned that he had recently seen large water drums on sale at Big Deals in Pocatello that might be a good purchase. Questions about the longterm storage of water were raised, with regard to location and longevity for such a process. Filtration systems were also discussed. A tent for the use in various training exercises and events was another idea mentioned by Williams.
Gabe Jimenez spoke to the commission about a youth assessment center. Commissioner Lewis recently visited the Youth Assessment Center in Pocatello, which Oneida County has access to. Jimenez explained the scope and function of the
center, which is designed to help mitigate juvenile issues before they become matters for the justice system. The Center allows for families to meet with the assessment center for free confidential evaluations about potential mediation for any ongoing issues. A room or facility is needed locally to allow for remote communication with the center in Bannock County. Jimenez suggested that the room did not need to be larger than would allow for a five person capacity. Representatives from the Bannock County center will need to visit Oneida to provide training for the process of communicating/working with the assessment center. A number of local stakeholders, including those from the school district and hospital, will be invited to the initial meeting. A motion to provide food and host a meeting with the assessment center on September 28 was passed.
The Commission asked Rhonda Neal for input on scheduling public hearings regarding the Planning and Zoning decisions to be made regarding the two developments in question. Attorney Brower advised the Commission on the relevant areas of the state code and county development code in this matter. Whenever there is a zoning request affecting a single portion of the county, Brower suggested that this could be viewed as “spot zoning”. The decision about whether the rezone is appropriate should be based, according to Brower, on whether it matches with the Comprehensive plan, which serves as the guide for all decisions made in the county about zoning and development issues. The CP sets forth the county’s vision for the jurisdiction moving forward. Brower advised the Commissioners to be fully acquainted with the Comprehensive plan as they approach a decision.
The PZ board has already held hearings on the developments in question, and made a written recommendation to the county commission. The board recommended to not approve either application for the developments, in the case of the Naylor property because the same end result could be accomplished without rezoning, and in the case of the Nielsen property because the development was “out of character” with the surrounding area, and the water study was considered problematic. The county commission is next obligated to hold its own public hearing prior to making a final decision. Comments from the previous public hearing can be considered as part of the record for the commission’s hearing. This will require a one-time posting in the Enterprise at least 15 days before the scheduled hearing, and notification to the public districts (fire, school) in
advance of the hearing. Two separate hearings will be required. The hearings will need to take place within 60 days of receiving notice of PZ’s decision. There is a possibility that Ben Naylor may withdraw his rezone petition, owing to the fact that the situation could be resolved without a rezone being necessary. The codes (Idaho’s and the county’s) presume that any decisions will be appealed, though that may not be the case with the Naylor request. Brower advised the commission to schedule the Nielsen hearing separate from the Naylor one, so that the dates can be easily separated if the latter petition is withdrawn. Hearings for the developments were tentatively scheduled for October 11, and October 18 at 6:00 p.m. at the Event Center. Brower advised that the hearing would represent the county’s decision on the matter, and should be undertaken with full knowledge of the previous hearings and documentation on the issues.
Tory Richardson spoke to the commission about an agreement with Jared Lusk. The county wants to use a construction manager for the courtroom update/remodel project. This would allow a single on site contact point for the project. The contract covers the payment details, scheduling, reporting, and procurement for the job work with regard to the position. Cody Brower suggested that it was important that building inspector Tory Richardson was involved with the details of the project. Richardson explained that he had been in communication with Lusk, and had been looking over the contract specifics. He stated that he planned to be involved overseeing the progress and implementation of the contract.
Richard Bigelow has been inspecting commercial buildings in Oneida County, and a contract is required in order for the arrangement to be formalized, and funds can be allocated to cover the inspections that have already occurred. The contractor will be given 65% of the inspection fees for commercial buildings. The contract will be paid monthly, based on the inspections performed during that time. Tory Richardson will begin training to qualify for a commercial inspection license in September. A motion to accept the contract with Richard Bigelow was approved by the commission.
Richardson also spoke to the commission about a bid to paint the Sheriff’s office. He received one bid for the project.
Sheriff Arne Jones was apprised on the nature of the bid and what it would cover, and verified that it would meet the current needs. A discussion about the best source for the funding was discussed. It was felt that the one-time expense section of the budget was the best avenue. The bid for painting the Sheriff’s department for $7,200, paid out of the one-time fund, was approved.
Piano for Event Center
Jean Thomas spoke with the commission about a grant she had written for a piano to be kept at the Event Center for various events. The grant, for $3,800 from the Bistline Family Foundation, will be used to purchase a suitable instrument for the building. Thomas felt that a piano was a better longterm purchase than a keyboard, due to its durability and other characteristics. The piano could be used for formal, as well as informal events. Currently, instruments are brought into the facility for use, which exposes them to risk of damage. Storage for the instrument was the primary focus of discussion. The primary costs would be associated with moving, tuning, and setting up the piano. A motion to accept the grant and allow for the purchase of a piano was approved by the commission. Jean Thomas was delegated to oversee the process.
The commission had not yet received communication from the Veterans Service Office in Boise about the process for appointing a new VSO.
Commissioner
Jeppsen spoke to the commission about plans to fund repairs/upgrades to the flower beds behind the Veterans Memorial in conjunction with the 911 Day of Service. Jeppsen felt that the project could be completed for around $100. A motion to approve funding the supplies was passed.
The commission discussed the current one-time expenses under consideration. The courtroom remodel, which was designed to be from out of the fund, was delayed.
The Public Defender arrangement was discussed by the commission. A motion to sign the agreement between Oneida County and the Indigent Defense Financial Assistance program was approved.
Vice Chairman for County Commissioners Chairman Lewis raised the issue of the Vice Chairman role for the next commission meeting, which Lewis
will be unable to attend.
Ken Eliason will serve as the chairman for that meeting, and be appointed as the Vice Chairman for the remainder of the year.
As a required part of setting the budget, the County held its public hearing on the budget, recently published in the paper. The hearing allows members of the public to offer input and ask questions about the county’s proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This also allows a chance for department heads to provide input on their department’s budget before it is finalized. Sheriff Jones brought up raising the ceiling for personnel line items to cover part time officers, dispatchers, and reserves. The office is currently down from its normal number of officers, and the funds would represent a savings over hiring a fulltime position in the near-term.
The County Attorney’s office, represented by Cody Brower, thanked the commissioners for their attention to the needs of county employees. He stressed that departments should be treated the same as each other throughout the county and a universal pay raise process be followed. County Clerk Lon Colton explained that the step and grade system was designed to be somewhat flexible in its application, owing to the volatility of the overall economic environment.
The public hearing was closed, and the commission returned to session to implement decisions. Chairman Lewis proposed raising the amount allotted to parttime employee wages in the department because the budget line was fulltime deputies would be spent at an amount under that laid out in the near future.
After discussion, the budget for the next fiscal year was approved for $11,462,170.
IDAWY
Jayson Lower spoke to the commission as a representative of IDAWY.
As a result of inflationary pressures and costs, IDAWY will be raising rates for the services provided to the county in the next fiscal year. $29/ can was the proposed rate for the first can. The previous rate was $26 for 96 gallon cans, with $5 each for additional cans. The rate for 300 gallon cans was suggested at $39/mo, with $11 for each additional can. Semi tires were suggested to be set at $15. Bulk pricing for disposal was suggested at $220/ton. A public hearing will need to be held before the rate increases can go into effect. The fees are set to help maintain the necessary equipment and landfill facility, as well as allow for contingency funding.
It was reported that the Stone landfill closing was almost finished according to DEQ standards.

GRIT. The word the Lady Dragon Volleyball team proudly wears, chants and, more importantly, embodies every time they take the court.
With their opening game of the 2023 season in Declo Wednesday, August 22, proved once again, that despite the ups and downs of a game, they will play with grit to the very last serve. Like the start of any new season, the team is getting to know new players in new positions, using their strengths and how to pull together as a team to make up for one another’s weaknesses. In no way was it a flawless game, but it was a perfect game of coming together as a team and working hard to take home the win.
In Wednesday night’s game, it took some time for the Lady Dragon’s to get in their groove, but once they did, there was no stopping them. Halfway into the first game, the Lady Dragon front row brought on a full assault that the Declo Hornets couldn’t shut down.

The Lady Dragon Soccer team is starting their 2023 season the right way, taking a win over Firth in their opening game as they hosted the Cougars Wednesday, August 22. With only eleven games scheduled for their regular season, the team was ready to make the most of each game. With a new school year underway, the MHS
and right side hitter Izzy Haycock not only brought a series of killer hit, but also solid blocks and quick digs that took the Lady Dragons on a roll.
Senior Adley Kimberling stepped up to serve with the score Malad, 18, Declo 12 and led them to a game one victory 25 to 12. Haycock brought the Lady Dragons to game point as she pounded through a double block followed by the winning point from a Declo error.
The second game of the match started off with intense play, both teams upping their game with better passing, reading the ball and making big saves. The rallies back and forth would go on and on, demanding better execution with each play. One rally in particular called on a quick save by both Haycock and Hallie Horsley, followed by a big dig by defensive specialist Brylee Oglesbee and a solid block by middle Liv Nelson to win the point for Malad. With every play, the Lady Dragons depend on both their grit and their teammates to find success on the court.
soccer team had a different look to them after losing six seniors that had played a big part of the team. Despite the loss of their senior players, the up and coming athletes stepped up in a big way to take the team’s play up a notch. At the end of their first game they walked away proud of their work and accomplishments of the night.
Kimberling led her team well as setter, making the most of each play as she set up her hitters to slam the ball across the net to the Hornets. Horsley brought her powerful swing from the first attack of the game, hitting with her signature outside hit, an explosive back row attack and even a scrappy left handed hit to keep the ball alive, leading the team with 18 kills.
Consistent serves from the Lady Dragons put the pressure on the Hornets throughout the game, with Teagan Daniels, Kimberling, and Oglesbee having long runs from the service line. All too often, their powerful serves created chaos for Declo, causing errors or prime opportunities for a Dragon assault. Demonstrated at its best, Kimberling served the final point of the second game that left the Hornets unable to answer and put Malad up, 25-21.
Declo came to the third game better prepared and answered nearly every MHS point with one of their own. Just as the

Over the two regulation 40 minute halves, Malad worked well to fall into a rhythm, to guard their goal well and keep control of the ball. Through the first half of the game, the Lady Dragons were up three goals to zero and not about to let up. Offensively they did so well to control their passing and defensively to stop the ball from moving
away from their end of the field.
Soccer is a game that requires a lot of stamina, speed, footwork but more than anything, it depends on a team working together to create opportunities and making the most of them. With players running on and off the field as they sub in and out, they each bring their own energy, strengths and abilities to

help the team as a whole protect their end of the field and attack their opponents at the opposite end of the field.
With shots for goal attempts from several players, Bayli Nesbit and Kaycie Miller led the team in scoring with two goals a piece. Aubrey Shulz stepped up as goalkeeper, racking up seven saves over the game, some. Head
Coach Shenell Clark shared after the game, “It was a great win to start the season. We match up really well with Firth and they are always great games. We are proud of them for their solid passing and working as a team. There’s a few things to work on before facing AF [American Falls] this

The Dragon football team took the road Friday, August 25 as they headed to Lyman, Wyoming to play against the LHS Eagles in their first game of the 2023 season. Knowing that Lyman has a strong football program and is highly ranked in the state did not thwart Coach Coby Crozier from stepping up to the challenge before them.
Malad was able to stop Lyman in their very first drive of the game, forcing a punt on the
fourth down where they returned it just short of the 40 yard line. Hoping that they would be able to keep up and keep moving with the Eagles, they worked both offense and defense to execute and cover the field.
Unfortunately, the turnover, missed scoring opportunities and penalties stalled the Dragons from putting points on the scoreboard while the Eagles found success in the end zone to the tune of 36 points.

Lady Dragons would take charge of the game, the Hornets would step up to dig the big hits, put up a solid block and push the ball to the unmanned corners.
Stopping a Hornet run with the game, Nelson and front row blockers had a series of incredible blocks. Nelson read the Hornet offense and put a stop to a quick push through the middle for a MHS point. One the very
next play, the Nelson + Haycock duo had a killer double block to shut down the outside Hornet attack. Trying to get around the solid front row defense, Declo attempted to hit over the block, just to send the ball out of bounds. On the next play, Nelson and Horsley shut down one more attempt from the right side attack, followed by a second hit over the block and out of bounds. Of all their play throughout the game, Head Coach Camie Tripp was most proud of their
The Malad Dragon Cross Country runners started off their season with a meet on their home turf, ready and set to compete in front of their family, friends and hometown fans. Despite the heat of the day, twenty of Malad’s finest long distance runners stepped up to the starting line at the Terry Jones Invitational Meet on Thursday, August 28 to officially kick off the 2023 Cross Country season. Competing in the meet with Malad were teams from Preston, Marsh Valley, Blackfoot and West Side High Schools.
The MHS cross country has been quite competitive over the previous seasons, sending both teams and individuals on to the state races where they not only did well but placed highly. Starting into a new fall season of races, they are once again proving that they are going to a force to contend with.
The Lady Dragon runners took to the 5000 meter course first as the meet moved into the high school divi-
sion following the middle school races. The 2023 team is composed of seniors Brooke Isaacson, Oakley Hebdon, Brynlee Bastian and Kaylee Nalder, juniors Cally Coleman, Hadlee Summers and Madelyn Shaw, sophomore and freshman Jenna Talbot.
The Malad women’s team had two top ten finishes as Isaacson came in 8th place with a time of 22:11 followed by Coleman in 9th place with a time of 22:17. The team as a whole came in second place behind Preston with 59 points.
After the women’s races were completed, the MHS men’s team concluded the day's race with their 5000 meter run. Racing for Malad this year are seniors Porter Allen and Baylor Bean, juniors Brycen Talbot and Joshua Pickett, sophomores Boston Burbage, Levi Angell, Colt Coleman, Caden Jeppson, and Cameron Allen, and freshman Jaxon Blaisdell, Carter Smith, Brex Martinson, and Braun Nalder.
The MHS football team finally found some success and made up ground as they moved into the fourth quarter of the game. Quarterback Braylin Tripp finally connected with receivers in the endzone as both Ryan Hubbard and Brady Showell put up touchdowns for Malad.
As they move through each game this season, the team is finding what is working for them and where they need to improve. The coaches are confident that as they
front row defense, saying, “Our defense and blocking was solid! Declo hit well and we covered it well. For the first game I was so pleased with our defense and our transition game.”
Despite their solid defense, the Lady Dragons just couldn’t keep ahead of the Hornets as the third game wore on. Declo eventually steamed ahead to take the lead, 24 points to Malad’s 21. Just when they thought they were one simple point away from a forth game, the
The MHS men’s team also had two top ten finishes as Talbot came in second place with an impressive time of 17:39. Porter Allen came across the finish line just under a minute later with a time of 18:27 to place 9th out of the 64 racers. Malad once again took second place behind Preston with 49 points.
The success that the Malad runners saw at their opening meet wasn’t something that happened over night. These athletes have been working and preparing for their races all through the summer months leading up to this season. Head coach Tia Talbot motivates her runners to put in the miles knowing that the time and experience running will be something that they can draw on for strength and will power as they race over the coming month.
To encourage them, Coach Talbot has created the 100 mile club which is a mark of accomplishment as much as a group to belong to.
keep their focus on those fundamentals, they will continue to see progress in their play.
The Dragons are looking forward to playing their first game on their home field Friday, September 1 against the Ririe Bulldogs. Last fall, the Dragons brought home the win 16-0 as they played in Ririe and plan to defeat the Bulldogs once again.
MHS took the field against Firth, ultimately winning their opener.

next week, but we will focus and get prepared.”
It may be just a few names that are highlighted for goals scored or saved, but it takes a team to get the soccer ball down the field, create an opening for a shot and then to get the shot off. Playing for Malad this year is Azure Ashby, Chali Briscoe, Joni Beck, Aubrey Corbett, Kencie Miller, Rylee Neilson, Makiya Shulz, Alivia Waldron, Alexa Cram, Lindi Young, Addy Ashby, Bayli
Nesbit, Rachel Ostrom, Braylee Price, Aubrey Shulz, Jaezie Emmy Coatney, Paige Talbot, Halie Palmer, Kaycee Venable, and Addysin Murdock. Coach Clark is assisted in coaching by Sheri Blaisdell.
Next on the Lady Dragon Soccer schedule is their matchup against American Falls in American Falls. Traditionally, the Beavers play an overly aggressive game, demanding a lot of their opponents. Knowing this, Malad is ready to dial up the intensity and take them on.
Lady Dragons dug deep and relied on their signature grit to pull them through. Having to play flawlessly at this point in the game, Horsley read the defense to put the perfect hit over the block and short of the passers to win the point and the serve for Malad. Mikell Keetch stepped up as she came off the bench and into the rotation to serve a number of perfect serves. The MHS team worked play by play and point by point to close the distance on the score
board with a dive and huge save, as well as a kill hit through a double block by Horsley and a quick block by Kimberling.
With Malad now up by one point, Declo called a timeout to scramble their team back together. Undeterred, the Lady Dragons put up their final point as Daniels chased a shanked ball clear out of the court to keep it alive for Malad, followed by a big dig by Keetch on the next volley across the net to force a Declo error to win the game, 26-24.
Commenting on the game, Coach Tripp said, “Our grit to come back in the third set when we were down 21-21 was such a highlight of this game. I’m super proud of their fight!”
The season is still young and there are still kinks to work out for the Lady Dragon volleyball team, but they are starting things off in the right way as learn to fight with grit, work together as a team and ultimately, bring home the wins.
As the name implies, those that run 100 miles over the summer will be part of the club. For those that go beyond, they are recognized as part of the 200, 300 or 400 mile club. Together, the high school runners totaled a wildly impressive tally of 3,374 miles.
In the 100 mile club for the 2023 year is Isaacson, Bastian Summers, Talbot, Kaylee Nalder, Shaw, Bur-
bidge, Martinson, Smith, Blaisdell, Pickett, and Hebdon. Upping their miles to achieve the 200 mile club was Cally Coleman, Bean, Cameron Allen, Colt Coleman, and Porter Allen. Talbot took the running trail for 300 miles over the summer and Angell accomplished an outstanding 400 miles. The middle school cross country racers were invited to
run as well, adding an additional 2002 miles across the nine runners.
If nothing else, the summer preparation and the strong start to the 2023 season, the Malad Cross Country is nothing short of dedicated to give their very best. Their preparation, experience, great coaching and even better support is sure to prove this an incredible year for MHS XC racing.
