NEWS IN BRIEF Hamas attacks Israel; Israel responds

In a rapidly developing story, conflict has broken out in Gaza following last weekend’s surprise attack on Israel by Hamas. Numbers are constantly changing, but hundreds of people have already died on both sides of the conflict, the majority of whom are civilians.

Since the initial attacks, Israel has been maintaining a campaign of rocket strikes, as well as a “complete siege” of Gaza, controlling supplies in and out. Hamas has announced that they are holding over 100 hostages, which they will begin to execute if Israel targets civilian areas. The United States and other western countries have announced public support for Israel in the conflict. The details of any potential multi-national efforts in the area have not been announced at present, although several countries have sent aircraft to aid in evacuations of the conflict zone while possible. The extent to which Iran and the Hezbollah may be involved is also unknown at present.

Alexus Tarbet on stage at DYW, where she placed as a Finalist and won the Overall Talent Competition.

Malad’s Alexus Tarbet a finalist in State DYW; Overall Talent winner Malad had another strong showing in this year’s statewide Distinguished Young Woman Competition, as Malad’s DYW placed within the top ten finalists, and was named the Overall Talent winner. Her finalist finish earned her $750, her finish as a Fitness finalist earned her $650, and her Overall Talent win earned $800.

In 2023, Raegan Smith was named the first alternate for the state title. She was on hand to witness the

changing of the guard as Alexus took her place on the finalist podium.

The 2024 DYW for the state of Idaho is the newly crowned Mikah Jones, representing North Mini-Cassia. She performed a ballet en pointe variation. In her winning performance, Alexus Tarbet played a piano selection, Winter Wind Etude by Frederic Chopin.

Tarbet lives in Malad, with Donna and Frank Madsen, and attends Malad High School. She plans to

pursue an education in the Pharmacy Technician program at Idaho State University. Tarbet is involved with the MHS Drill Team, the Newsies (2020), Cinderella (2021), Choir (2021), Health Occupations Students of America, and other activites. She also plays piano and guitar, and currently teaches guitar lessons.

Alexus was a Drill Team District Champion in 2021 and 2022, and placed fourth at state in 2022, and District Runner-up in 2023. From

Although for many people the beginning of October may seem early for a Halloween event, the PTO Carnival has become a highly anticipated sign of the season as Fall well and truly kicks in. The Carnival is the PTO’s largest fundraiser of the year, and brings in hundreds to enjoy a wide variety of fun, games, and Halloween thrills.

The crowd this year was perhaps larger than ever, and once again led to a huge success for the organization responsible for many events throughout the year.

The event was once again held at the Event Center, which allowed for both PTO CARNIVAL On Page 2

Robert F Kennedy, Jr announces independent presidential bid

Candidate Robert F Kennedy, Jr. officially ended his bid to unseat Joe Biden in the 2024 Democratic primary, and announced that he would instead be running for the office as an Independent. Kennedy is the son of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy.

Although he was running in the Democratic primary, he is usually associated with conservative causes, most visibly campaigning against medical mandates and vaccines. Kennedy has been polling in the low single digits in the primary race against President Biden and Marianne Williamson. The most successful modern independent candidacy for president was that of Ross Perot in 1992 against Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush.

Perot received 8% of the overall vote, significantly higher than anyone else has managed.

Gas prices may be on the way down

The average price for a gallon of gas in Idaho was $4.05 at the beginning of the week, down nine cents on average from last week.

Supplies are high, and the busy driving season is now officially over. Some analysts predict the price could be back below $4.00 a gallon for the month, though it remains to be seen what events in the middle east might do to the international fuel market. Idaho Falls and Pocatello have the lowest average prices in the state, with Malad very close to the same mark.

After a fair amount of zoning controversy, the Yellowstone Safari Park outside Rexburg is now open for visitors. The park contains wolves, bears, foxes, deer, elk, and buffalo (including several rare white buffalo) in an outdoor, contained environment.

Controversy initially arose over whether such a facility was permissible in an Agriculturally zoned section. According to the development code, though, “game ranch” is an accepted conditional use.

The park joins “Bear World” as a place for visitors to view the native wildlife on the road to Yellowstone.

The opening will feature a litter of newly born foxes. The Idaho and U.S. Departments of Agriculture as well as Idaho Fish and Game have jurisdiction over the ranch’s animals.

en from all around the state, who were evaluated by a panel of five judges in the following categories: Scholastics (25%), Interview (25%), Talent (20%), Fitness (15%), and Self-Expression (15%). As always, the level of talent in the competition was extremely high, and all of the hard work Alexus has put in over the years was clearly recognized by the judges who placed her on the finalists stage.

This year’s theme was “Ignite”. As the DYW organization stated in the official program,

“Your fire can’t IGNITE without the light of a spark. Take a chance…

You were meant to shine brightly!” Quoting Marianne Williamson, the program continues, “We ask ourselves ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? IGNITE the fire within you! You ignite a flame within your life when you allow yourself to become vulnerable enough and brave enough to become who you were born to be.”

Founded in 1958, Distinguished Young Women is a free program that encourages participants to reach their full individual potential.

According to the organization’s press release, “Our mission is to empower young women by providing over $1 billion in scholarship opportunities, connecting with a nationwide network of women, developing their self-confidence, and participating in our Life Skills Workshops that prepare them for success after high school.

Costumes were on full display, as witches, aliens, monsters, Ghostbusters, princesses, and all manner of creatures patrolled the grounds looking for games, treats, and friends.

Long lines kept the mini horse rides and Spook Alley running nonstop during the event, while the caution tape maze managed to befuddle many who entered it. The outdoor event lighting let the action continue on into the night, as the sun made its eerie descent in the west and the shadows came out in force.

A Visit to the Fire Station

During Fire Safety month, Malad’s Kindergarten through second grade students visit the Fire station to learn more about how it works, and fire safety in their own lives. After the walk down to the Firestation, the students were met by members of the Fire Department, who divided them up into groups.

One group heard about all the equipment that the Fire Department uses in the course of its work, including thermal imagers, protective equipment, and various tools. Another group joined the crew in the bay, where the various trucks were discussed and students were able to test their skills against a training course for

moving in the equipment in confined spaces. The third group got up close and personal with a fully equipped fire truck, and had the chance to use the firehose, which is always a highlight of the tour.

A number of fires this year throughout the valley have emphasized the critical importance of the fire department. The crew made sure to communicate the importance of preventing and responding to any fire situations that they might experience. Pictured here are the range of activities participated in.

Brake for Breakfast supports cancer screening awareness Brake for Breakfast, a national event to educate about breast cancer, was held in Malad on Thursday, October 5, 2023.

Organized and sponsored by Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital, this year’s drive-through Brake for Breakfast was held on the street between the Hospital and the Clinic. Hospital staff handed out 400 bags to drivers, beginning at 7:00 a.m. and continuing until all bags were distributed.

Each tote bag held a bottle of water, a package of mini muffins, string cheese, a bag of nuts, two mints, and information about the prevalence of breast can-

cer, the need for screening with mammography, and other educational materials.

The event was organized by Kathy Hubbard, the Chief Operating Officer for the Hospital.

Employees who assisted in stuffing the bags and then handing them to drivers included Karren Edwards, Elise Bell, Pam Mills, Tyson Daniels, Hesston Duessler, Paula Davis, John Williams, Cindy Howard, and Jean Thomas.

In the United States, breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in women, and the most frequently diagnosed. In 2023, an estimated 297,790 new

cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the United State, according to breastcancer.org.

Approximately 43,700 women in the United States are expected to die in 2023 from breast cancer.

However, regular screenings—a combination of mammograms, clinical breast exams, and self-exams—can help catch breast cancer earlier, when it is easier to treat and treatments are more successful.

Idaho is 47th in the nation when it comes to women getting screened for breast cancer. The goal of this event is to remind women to not put

By Gramma Dot

Several years ago, our extended family went on a trip to the island of Kauai. My memories of that trip include feral chickens and a hike that was more than I bargained for in effort and beauty.

This was back in the day when I thought I was physically fit.

Grandma Red had the good sense to stay behind along with a few other family members.

I, on the other hand, didn’t think twice. We took off on this trek that was going to take us to some amazing waterfalls and “The Land of Hanalei” from Puff the Magic Dragon fame. I did not want to miss this.

All went well for about a mile. Then the terrain got steeper.

The undergrowth got slipperier. Rocks and boulders got bigger.

And my confidence disappeared. As I was falling farther and farther behind, Brother-inlaw Steve and Brother Ed came to my rescue.

They kept pace with me and when I needed help, their arms became my railing. They prac-

mountain and braced me coming down. I was one happy hiker when we returned to the trailhead!

The waterfalls were beautiful, Hanalei Bay breath-taking and I made it back in one piece with nothing broken. I did collect bruises, blisters, and a heavy dose of humility, but I had frolicked in Puff Country. It was a good day.

Just last week I was navigating the bleachers at Malad High School during a volleyball game. I was a little wobbly and climbed past Steve in-route to my seat. His arm immediately went up to support my assent, at the same time Ed was helping Grandma Red take on the stairs. Deja vu! Wow, from the mountains of Kauai to the bleachers of MHS, I was more than a little happy to have help.

The help of friends and family make it possible to see wonders near and far. Wonders like waterfalls, volleyball games and feral chickens keep us smiling, and smiling makes for the Good Life!

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2018)

Dale Nelson, Vice President of Corporate Air, showed his appreciation to Oneida Search and Rescue Commander Steve Coakley for services rendered during the Fed Ex plane emergency landing in Pocatello Valley in August. Nelson presented Coakley a substantial donation to SAR. On August 28 the pilot of a small FedEx feeder plane landed on a gravel road in Pocatello Valley.

The plane was sputtering and the pilot didn't want to risk a run to the Malad airport.

Because it was not a crash, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) did not travel to the scene to investigate the landing. However, the FAA did investigate and declared that everything was satisfactory and the plane was released back to FedEx which eventually transported the plane away on a trailer after the wings were removed.

Oneida Search and Rescue guarded the plane until transport could take place.

Good job, Oneida Search and Rescue!

The Malad High School Class of 1968 met on September 29 at the Malad Senior Citizens' Center to celebrate their 50th class reunion.

Wow, time has gone by so fast! Of the 86 members of the class, 29 were able to attend. Some class members traveled from as far away as Texas, while others were in Malad.

Mayor’s walking challenge underway Mayor Joan Hawkins is at it again. Every fall, the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health sponsors the challenge, which asks mayors to commit to walking either 5,000 or 10,000 steps a day using a tracking counter. Those who complete the 5,000 step commitment are given $500, and those who complete the 10,000 steps are given $1,000 for use within their communities. Hawkins, of course, is going for the 10,000 step challenge.

“Some of these guys are pretty serious about it, but I plan to make the 310,000 steps at the very least,” Hawkins said.

At ten days in, she’s already well above the 100,000 step mark and on a steady pace to the finish line.

In the past, Hawkins has donated the money to various causes around town that support health and fitness, including, most recently, the pickleball court. She has not decided yet what this year’s money will go toward. “It’ll be something that raises awareness of staying healthy and keeping that in people’s minds,” she said.

The walking challenge is designed to do just that. Blue Cross believes that mayors and other officials (a similar challenge will soon be held with state legislators) can serve as good role models for healthy

habits. Walking is one of the easiest and most effective means of improving daily physical and mental wellness.

Brisk walking can burn as many calories as jogging, without as much strain on knees and joints.

Furthermore, as the mayor points out, Malad’s City Park is a wonderful place for walking, especially while the weather remains so nice. It remains to be seen how long the mild autumn will continue, but everyone is encouraged to spend some time outdoors and enjoy it, whether walking or doing anything

else active. Forming good exercise practices is especially important for younger people, who tend to have better health outcomes later in life if they maintain a consistently active lifestyle.

In the past, the mayor scheduled time specifically to walk with the elementary students during the month. When COVID restrictions were put in place, the practice had to be paused for a while, though Hawkins plans to visit the school during recess to walk laps with the kids. She also plans to walk with the elementary school in this year’s Halloween parade on October 26.

Riding the rural roads

By Allison Eliason

Always in a hurry, the number one result of this fast-paced society.

It seems that no matter where people are headed or what they are doing, they are in a hurry to get there and in a hurry to get done. In some ways, a fast pace is a good thing. Not dawdling, making the most of time and being efficient are without fail, good qualities to have. But when that pace rushes the work being done and hurries people into carelessness, it just might stop someone in their tracks.

As rural communities were developed, dirt roads crossed the ranges to connect farms, families and their little towns, linking in a real-life dot-todot. With little traffic happening on those roads, it didn’t matter that they often passed right through their lands as they connected onto the next family and operation. It was only their neighbors that would drive along, friends that knew and respected them.

Communities continued to develop and so did the roadways, making old two track dirt roads into official graveled and maintained roads that were eventually upgraded to paved roads. The locals were delighted for a little smoother ride, but with the improved roadways came travelers beyond their neighbors, often driving faster and carelessly.

With greater draw to the adventure and recreation beyond the rural roads, traffic on the backway highways continues to increase and with it, speed and as a result, accidents.

For the agriculture families and operations that live and work on these rural roads, the speedy onslaught can feel like a daily terror that can be not only dangerous for them but for the countless drivers along the way.

These days, my local rural roads are full of trucks, livestock, and equipment.

Harvest trucks are hauling grain and potatoes. Cattle and horses are being hauled in livestock trailers when they aren’t being moved up or down the road in a cattle drive. For operations where the road literally cuts through their ranchland, there are often kids, 4wheelers and dogs making their way from one side to the next. It might not be the hustle and bustle of the city, but it’s busy enough that a careless driver speeding through might cause some real harm.

When driving through the country, there are some spoken and unspoken rules every driver should follow.

If the speed is posted slower, it's for a reason. You might think it an inconvenience, but you never know when you will come up on a slow-moving truck pulling out or a cattle drive on the road. In reality, speeding through a slow zone will not make up that much time. If you want to race, go to a track. If you want a fast drive, take the freeway. If you choose the rural route, you get to go slow.

If ever you come up on slow moving tractors, semi’s or 4wheelers, slow down and follow until you are able to pass. Drivers are aware they are sharing the road with you and

The Idaho Enterprise

September Elementary Goals

will make it possible for you to move around them. The few seconds that you might have to follow are only seconds. Give them the time so that they can give you the space to pass safely.

Driving through the beautiful backroads might inspire you to enjoy the scenery or even a daydream, but in many ways you should be even more vigilant with who or what might be sharing your roadway. Stray cattle, wildlife or slow-moving equipment might seem to pop out of nowhere if you aren’t looking for them and prepared to navigate a road with them.

The chances of an accident are far fewer when your focus stays on your drive.

In the event that an accident of some kind happens, stop. Just because you are alone in the middle of nowhere doesn’t mean you can ditch. If you hit a stray cow, ran over the farmer’s dog or ran through a fence, stop and make it right. Take the time to be respectful and apologize for your mistake.

Hurrying on to your next thing isn’t what’s important.

Making amends is.

There is a reason country folk live where they do. They love the land, the work that they serve and the adventure each day brings. They understand the draw that country can have on you. But when you enter their world and drive their roads, be sure to play by their rules. Keeping it safe on the rural roadways makes the country something everyone can enjoy.

Malad City’s Mayor’s Youth Council (MYC) is a student-run organization with a mission statement to provide a voice for the youth of Malad City and to be actively involved in service projects hosted by the community. We have 14 members and three advisors, including Mayor Joan Hawkins.

This year, the Mayor's Youth Council is focusing our efforts into creating a donation closet at Malad High School.

The mission statement of the donation closet is to provide a space where students in Oneida County schools can

take items that they may not have access to at home, such as food, coats, new bedding, school supplies and so much more. The space is not yet open but we are accepting donations starting Thursday, October 12th.

We are reaching out to the community for donations to get the closet started. Most importantly, we are in need of a means to store our donations, such as shelves, plastic tubs, or portable clothing racks.

Starting Thursday, October 12th, the Mayor's Youth Council will be putting on a food drive for the donation closet. The items we need most are as follows: rice, pasta,

COUNTY COMMISSION REPORT | 9/29

Public hearing for Ben Naylor

Ben Naylor spoke to the commissioners about the scheduled public hearing for a variance. Naylor wants to split off 5 acres from 35 for a residence and 9.2 for a church. The request went through a minor subdivision process in August. A water study was performed as part of the fulfillment of the request.

Two community meetings were held. Naylor had been advised that the process could be handled with a one time split, due to the history of its division.

PZ had recommended denying the rezoning as not necessary. A conditional use permit was sought. PZ requested a letter stating that the rezone request had been dropped. The conditional use public hearing was canceled and the application was considered incomplete. Naylor felt that he would like to keep the option of the rezoning request open, and was interested in having the hearing scheduled. Naylor requested an additional 60 days in an attempt to reschedule the original conditional rezoning request.

Rhonda Neal stated that the conditional use permit was still underway.

County Attorney Cody Brower advised that allowing for a continuance on the issue would most likely not be a problem. Ben Naylor requested a 60 day delay, until December 18. A motion to accept the proposed delay of the hearing for the rezone request was approved, contingent upon final recommendation of Cody Brower.

of the deed’s boundaries. It was discovered that the property had an incorrect legal description. This resulted in a request for a new boundary line agreement. The existence of a potential city road on the property was discussed. The commissioners felt that if the property owner wished to pursue a survey, it would not assume any costs for the survey.

Chairman Lewis moved to support a boundary agreement with the property in question.

Sam Carter—Minor subdivision request

Rhonda Neal spoke to the commission a about a minor subdivision request from Sam Carter. Neal reported that the Planning and Zoning Commission had given a positive recommendation for the request. The request was determined to be within the scope of the Comprehensive Plan for the County.

The minor subdivision is within the residential zone of Holbrook.

No new streets or developments will be involved, other than two new driveways. The commission approved the minor subdivision request.

Hess Pumice— Road agreement

Mike Hess, Jr. spoke to the Commission about the county’s road agreement with Hess Pumice. In the spring, Hess was asked to take over a road within county boundaries.

The contract to take over the road was being finalized, but not quite completed yet.

Boundary line agreement—Assessor’s Office

Idaho Public Communications Commission Atkinson Grant award

Kathleen spoke to the commission about a boundary line agreement. Property adjacent to the court house parking lot was under discussion.

A fence on the property was under consideration, and the neighbors requested a check

Sheriff Arne Jones spoke to the Commission about the IPCG Grant applied for by the Sheriff’s Office.

The grant goes to pay service fees and maintenance on the 911 system. The Office need-

ed the commission’s approval to accept the grant for $44,461.11.

A motion to do so was passed.

building has changed.

Tory Richardson will be consulted on the matter before it is approved.

Sheriff’s policing policy renewal

Comp time for dispatch

Commissioners were required to sign the document approving the budget item related to the policing policy subscription. The cost is associated with a policy manual specifically for law enforcement employees in addition to the county policy manual. A motion to sign the policing policy manual subscription for $1,500 was passed.

Phone room security

The sheriff reported that the communication room in the basement of the courthouse had been accessible to construction workers and others over the past year. The elevator construction in the courthouse requires access to internal communications and electrical systems. The sheriff was concerned that changes made to the infrastructure during the process have had a negative effect on the efficiency of the communications system in the building.

The sheriff suggested placing some sort of security on access to sensitive areas, such as the comm room downstairs and the server room in the clerk’s office. It was determined to provide a lock to each facility, with keys to be kept by a consistent person. County Clerk Lon Colton suggested also creating a logbook to keep track of who has been inside each of the rooms.

Security camera for hallway in courts

As a part of a future courtroom remodel, security cameras will be added in the hallway of the top floor. The sheriff pointed out that the new layout of the courtroom will require an additional camera, which is already needed as traffic flow through the

The sheriff reported that 3 fulltime employees are averaging about 56 hours a week due to understaffing. As a result, they are unable to use PTO. The commission supported paying out comp time over 150 hours. Lon Colton raised the issue that the pay out process for hours over 150 was not clearly laid out in the policy. Commissioner Jeppsen suggested several approaches to how the pay outs might be handled, but the commission agreed as a whole that a written policy needed to be created. A new fulltime dispatcher has been hired, and should be trained within a month or so, relieving the pressure on hours for the rest of the staff.

Commissioner Lewis felt that the matter needed more study before taking any action on the immediate concern in the sheriff’s office, and recommended having the issue placed on the agenda for the next commission meeting on October 9. Several new deputies are in the process of being hired, though they will need to complete POST training after hiring. Commissioner Jeppsen suggested that he planned to work on proposing a policy at the legislative level which would compensate counties whose officers had been hired away at the completion of their commitments.

Engineering firm selection for R&B Safety grant

Lisa Baker addressed the commission about engineering firms for the Safety grant applied for by the Road and Bridge department. A study needs to be conducted to determine the county roads’ suitability for rumble strips.

Civil Science, Forsgren, Keller, and JUB

will be asked to bid on the project.

Court room remodel

Chairman Lewis discussed the planned courtroom remodeling project. The courtroom needs to be made ADA compliant, which will involve moving some of the infrastructure within the courtroom, and some remodeling of the lobby area. The project is estimated at $280,000 to $300,000.

Chairman Lewis motioned to set aside $330,000 as possible courtroom remodel expenses from the contingency fund.

The remodel has been under consideration for a number of months, and will make the courtroom ADA compliant.

The elevator will also satisfy ADA compliance for the building as a whole.

ICRMP Joint Powers

The commissioners needed to sign the insurance renewal policy with ICRMP. Idaho County Risk Management Program. A motion to sign the annual document was passed.

Water and gravel from Forest Service land on county roadway

Lisa Baker discussed an issue with material on county roadways.

At the last meeting, the accumulation of gravel on the roadway near 2 mile was raised. The water has been changed from its normal course at some point in the last twenty years.

Another issue on the north end of old highway 191 with the altered course of a natural waterway was raised. Baker suggested that she felt that the county should not have to assume the responsibility of dealing with issues created by the alteration of waterways on private land that affected county roads.

The commission recommended that the department draft a letter explaining and outlin-

ing the responsibilities and liability of waterway alteration, following consultation with the county attorney.

County Attorney

Cody Brower submitted a resignation letter, in conjunction with his accepting a judgeship in the sixth district. The next steps as outlined in section 2 of the regulations regarding the position will involve the Republican Central Committee (due to Brower’s declaration of party affiliation for election) will provide 3 names to the board, and interview the candidates. The board will then interview the candidates and select one of them for the position.

Commissioner Jeppsen asked Brower about the potential for sharing a Prosecuting Attorney with another county in the meantime while the transition was underway.

Attonrey Brower suggested that such a course was not a preferrable longterm arrangement, though if there were any delays in hiring a replacement, it should be possible to arrange for someone to temporarily manage cases until a fulltime replacement is named.

Brower’s official last day will be after the first week in November.

Chairman Lewis asked what the commission should do if they did not agree to hire any of the candidates. At that point, the Central Committee would make the selection.

A motion to give Chairman Lewis the authority to negotiate with the RCC and discuss the hiring process further was approved.

Vehicle insurance

The cost of replacing windshields under the current insurance policy was discussed. It was hoped that some sort of exception to the deductible for windshields could be obtained.

SHERIFF'S DISPATCH Following are recent calls received by dispatchers at the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office. During the week of 9/24 to 10/7, the Sheriff’s Office investigated 79 new cases.

During this time, the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office dispatchers received and unknown number of total calls.

This report includes only new investigations and does not include regular investigations, civil services, and the other responsibilities of the Sheriff’s Office.

Fall Section Tips for storing vegetables for winter

By Glenn Morris, Farmers’ Almanac

Storing vegetables successfully is based primarily on harvest and handling. Keep these tips in mind. Let vegetables and fruits cool overnight from “field heat” before storing them. Harvest during dry weather and allow the surfaces of the produce to dry before storing.

It’s time for ghosties, the occasional ghoul Monsters and werewolves lurk about too.

Can a skeleton really say “Boo!”? hurt carrots. Beets, cabbages, kale, and onions are crops that can survive light frosts when they are under a layer of mulch.

No Root Cellar For Storing Vegetables? No Problem!

Any clean, buried metal container can be effective for storage.

Drill holes in the bottom for drainage and keep the top rim 2 inches above the ground, to thwart rainwater. Then layer the vegetables with straw. Put the lid on and cover it with a thick layer of mulch.

Many existing areas within a house may serve for storage, without the expense of adding the insulation, ventilation and humidity control

that a proper long-term storage area needs.

Basement window wells can be adapted for storage for apples or root crops. Plan to insulate the vegetables with straw. Unfinished basements or crawl spaces can make excellent storage areas, as long as they are evenly cool between 32 and 60 degrees.

Use unheated crawl spaces or cellars with dirt floors that remain cool (35 to 40 degrees) and moist to store potatoes or apples and pears.

Basements with central heat that are warm (55 to 60 degrees) and dry offer superb conditions for ripening tomatoes and short term storage of winter squash, sweet potatoes, and onions.

When the seasons change, fall pests start making their way inside homes for shelter, while summertime bugs, like flies and stinging insects, linger around the home.

Fall pests in the home

Spiders are one of the most feared home invaders. There are more phobias about spiders than any other pest, and understandably so.

One good point about spiders is that they are basically loners - they aren't social insects that live in big groups, like ants or bees. As predators, they like to operate on their own and not share their food.

The waters are open yet today Even the sailboats are out to play.

The sun is out, the air is cool And ere long we’ll celebrate the Yule.

Tips For Storing Vegetables

Handle vegetables carefully to minimize bruising. Pick up some standard apple boxes from your grocer to use for storage. Wooden vegetable shipping crates work well, too. Storing vegetables and fruits effectively depends on providing the right temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Check with your local agricultural extension service agent for the techniques that work best where you live. Some crops do okay outside for a short time.

Root crops such as carrots, turnips, and parsnips can remain in the ground where they grew for part of the winter. Mulch heavily with straw or hay after the ground begins to freeze. However, ground temperatures below 26 degrees can

ders will be less interested in hanging around.

Just spraying alone is not a great defense against spiders; however you can treat the surface of a crevice, a tight squeeze that a spider goes in and out. In these cases, the spider will likely contact his body with the spray when he squeezes in.

Otherwise, YOU have to make contact with the spider via a direct spray, a newspaper, a shoe or whatever weapon of choice.

You can also use glue boards or sticky traps.

There are really no attractants in most of these glue traps. The sticky

trap, or glue trap, just captures them - if they walk through the trap, they die.

Rodents

Rodent control and exclusion should be your number one fall priority, as mice and rats seek a warm place for winter.

Walls, closets, pantries, and attics are inviting spaces for these pests.

Conduct a thorough exterior inspection of the home for gaps and holes where rodents may enter, and be on the lookout for droppings and gnaw marks, which can indicate an infestation.

bags to inhibit moisture loss and prevent condensation. The bags should have multiple 1/4-inch holes throughout.

Vegetable Storage Times

Here are the storage times for some commonly grown vegetables: Beets: 4 to 6 months, Late cabbage: 5 to 6 months, Carrots: 7 to 9 months, Onions: 1 to 8 months, Potatoes: 5 to 10 months, Winter squash: 1 to 6 months, Sweet potatoes: 4 to 7 months, Green tomatoes, while ripening: 1 to 2 months, Do not store potatoes and apples or potatoes and onions together– they will spoil each other. Cabbage is also best stored separately.

Flies

Fly populations tend to be at their height in early fall because they have had all year to increase their numbers.

As temperatures drop, some flies look for a retreat inside homes from the cool weather outside. If those flies are already overwintering, a warm day may bring them out of hiding. It’s important to remember that some flies can cause bigger problems than just irritating buzzing; they have the potential to carry diseases such as tuberculosis, typhoid, dysentery, and diarrhea.

Stinging Insects

As fall approaches, stinging insects such as yellow jackets and other wasps can be quite active. After working all summer to create the largest nest possible, it becomes a struggle to feed so many mouths FALL PESTS On Page 12

So join in the fun, Prowl thru the streets, Knock on a door Just to say, “Trick or Treat!”

Biennial and perennial weed control is best in the fall

Fall is an excellent time to manage biennial and perennial weeds. Some biennials are much easier to kill while they are in the rosette stage of growth and prior to surviving a winter. Once they start growth in the spring, they rapidly develop with the goal of reproducing and it becomes more difficult to control them.

As you have heard many times before, late summer and fall is the best time to control most perennials with a systemic herbicide because herbicides are moved into the root systems allowing better control. In general, the application window runs from early September through October depending on where you are located and what weeds you are targeting.

Cool-season perennials like Canadian thistle, quackgrass, and dandelion can be effectively controlled after several light frosts. With both biennial and perennials species, adequate leaf tissue must be present and it should be reasonably healthy to absorb the herbicide.

Important consider-

ations: Make sure that the foliage on the weeds appears relatively healthy and capable of absorbing the herbicide spray. Plants that have been damaged by insect feeding, drought, harvest equipment, frost, or autumn leaf senescence are not good candidates for fall applications.

So, if that weed you have been dealing with during season is still standing and the leaves and stems are not too tattered after harvest, then there is still a great chance to control it yet this fall. Make sure to use adequate herbicide rates, high spray volumes, and get good spray coverage over the plant for effective kill.

Favorable air temperatures should be a consideration immediately before, during, and after application. In general, the warmer the better, with daytime high temperatures in the mid 50s at a minimum.

Cold nights and cool, cloudy days will reduce and slow the effectiveness of the applications. The more active the weeds are growing, the better the herbicide performance.

Fall pests in the home Continued from page 1 with temperatures dropping and food sources dwindling. Under these circumstances, the colony can become hostile.

Attempting stinging insect control yourself can be dangerous, so be very careful.

Occasional Invaders

This time of year can include a bevy of unique fall insects, commonly referred to as occasional

invaders. This includes Box Elder bugs. These pests enter homes in search of overwintering sites where they can wait out the winter. While these insects typically do not cause structural damage, they are generally considered a nuisance.

Different insects have different ways of surviving the winter. Many adult insects die off when frost arrives, but leave eggs behind to start next year's population. Some migrate to

warmer climates. Still others burrow in the leaf litter or hide under loose bark for protection from the cold. Unfortunately, your warm home may be irresistible to insects seeking shelter from the cold.

In the fall, you may see aggregations of insects, like Box Elder bugs and flies, on sunny sides of your home.

As we lose the heat of summer, insects actively seek warmer places to spend their days. When the sun sinks lower in

the sky and winter approaches, these insects begin looking for a more permanent shelter from the cold. Some insects use aggregation pheromones to spread the word about a preferred overwintering site. Once a few bugs find good shelter, they give off a chemical signal inviting others to join them.

If your home has vinyl siding, insects may gather underneath the siding, where they are protected from the elements and warmed by your home's heating. Any crack or crevice large enough for an insect to crawl through is an open invitation to come indoors.

You may find them gathered around windows, as poorly caulked window

frames allow easy entry into your home. Usually, home-invading insects stay inside your home's walls during the winter.

But on the occasional sunny winter day, they may make their presence known by gathering on your walls or windows.

If you really can't stand the sight of bugs in your home, or they appear in such large numbers that you have to take action, don't squish them. Just grab your vacuum and use the hose attachment to suck up the offending pests. Be sure to remove the vacuum bag when you're done, and take it outside to the trash (preferably inside a sealed plastic garbage bag).

• Seal gaps around

windows and doors, including garage doors.

• Be sure screens on windows are in good repair and do not have any openings.

• Seal gaps around the area where pipes and electrical/cable lines enter the home.

• Look for openings around soffits, eaves, attic fans, windows and vents in the attic used for ventilation. Many times these areas are not screened, allowing overwintering pests inside.

• Inspect chimneys. Be sure the damper is closed when not in use. If your home has a wood-burning fireplace, lighting a fire may discourage the insects from using the chimney as an entry point.

Is your home’s heating system ready for cool weather?

(StatePoint) In cool weather, wise homeowners will take steps to ensure their homes are well-prepared. There are a number of ways you can keep your home comfortable and your energy bills in check all season.

Is your heating equipment working optimally or are you wasting energy and paying more than you should?

It is estimated that nearly half of all heating and cooling equipment in U.S. homes never performs to its advertised capacity and efficiency due to incorrect installation, according to U.S. government statistics.

And if you have an older system that was built before current efficiency standards, you could be spending more than needed on heating your home.

If you need to replace your system, be sure to have it properly installed by an HVACR profes-

sional, certified by North American Technician Excellence (NATE), the nation’s largest independent, nonprofit certification body for HVACR technicians. NATE-certified technicians are skilled professionals who have proven their knowledge in the HVACR industry by passing specialized certification tests.

Beyond having an efficient heating system properly installed, there are several other steps you can take to make your home cool-weather friendly: • Clean heating filters.

Check them every couple of weeks and change them at least twice in the season, or as directed by the manufacturer.

• Check and maintain insulation. Improperly insulated walls, floors, attics, basements and crawlspaces drain away heat and can also lead to moisture imbalance.

Adding weather strip-

ping and caulk around windows and doors can also improve a home’s insulation.

• Turn down the thermostat or install a programmable thermostat to regulate temperature.

• Clean the furnace area. Don’t keep chemicals or cleaning products near a heater, and don’t store anything next to it that could impede ventilation.

• Keep vents and returns free of obstructions. Don’t lay carpet over vents, place furniture over or in front of them, or obstruct the flow of air.

• Dry air feels cooler than moist air, so install a humidifier. A simple humidifier may make the home feel five degrees warmer than a home with dry air.

• Look into geothermal heating systems. By using the earth`s natural heat, these systems are among the most efficient and energy-conserving

Why is it necessary to rake leaves off the lawn?

Is there a sound reason behind raking leaves pertaining to lawn health, or is it simply an aesthetic choice?

You’ve probably heard that lawns, too, have to "breathe," and that they can be smothered if a thick layer of un-shredded leaves is left on top of them over the winter, causing problems such as snow mold. That is true, but it is only part of the reason why we rake lawns.

Most lawns in the Northern U.S. are com-

posed of one or more cool-season grasses.

"Cool-season" lawn grasses are so called because they're most active during those periods of the year when moderately cool weather predominates. Fall is one of those times. Blessed with sufficient sunlight, nutrients and water, and enjoying temperatures that are neither too cold nor too hot, cool-season grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass revitalize in fall. This is when they must "make hay,"

strengthening their root systems.

But a thick layer of fallen leaves can impede the growth of these grasses. Why? Because they can deprive the grass of one of the key elements mentioned: sunlight. If not raked up in time, a thick and/ or matted layer of fallen leaves casts excessive shade over the grass below. You don't have to rake up every last leaf; a shortcut is to mow, so as to shred leftover leaves.

heating and cooling technologies currently available.

• Have your system serviced regularly for optimal performance. To avoid poor service and scams, be sure to hire an HVACR profession-

al certified by NATE. To find a qualified local contractor who employs certified technicians, look for the NATE logo or go to HVACRAdvice. com.

Roof repair – a good project for fall Asphalt shingled roofs have been in use in America since 1901.

If you've ever owned a home then you've had them on your house at one time or another.

They are durable for the price, affordable and come in many different textures and colors.

Problems occur with roof shingles because of wear and tear. Sometimes you can take care of the problem yourself, but sometimes you may need to hire a professional.

Problem #1: Curled Asphalt Shingles

Over time, asphalt shingles begin to curl upwards or downwards

(curling, cupping, clawing) as a result of improper installation, age or environmental conditions. This is a serious problem and will require a roof replacement.

Over time, you may see shingles start to curl and cup because of sunlight, moisture and changes in climate conditions. While you can repair some of them, it may be time for a new roof. You can only delay the effect for so long by gluing them down, so don’t wait until it’s too late to replace your roof.

Some steps you can take to extend the life of your roof and prevent curling include: • Adequate roof ventilation (inadequate ventilation also a cause of ice

dams) • Dry conditions (e.g., getting snow off the roof during the winter)

Problem #2: Cracked or Bent Shingles

Cracked shingles occur as a result of inclement weather conditions, age and wear over time.

It may be possible to repair these shingles rather than replacing them.

Also, if the problems are not extensive, the roof may still have life left in it. The steps for repairing a cracked or bent shingle include: • Apply bituminous roofing sealant under the crack or • Press the shingle down and apply a sec-

ond layer of bituminous sealant on top.

If you find granules of shingles in the gutter from a recent rainfall or snowfall, you can spread them over the bituminous sealant to blend in your repair job. As with curled shingles, an excess of damaged shingles is a sign your roof will need to be replaced.

Limited problem areas may be locally repaired.

You should check to make sure the cracks aren’t so large that they’re piercing through into the roof deck underneath.

You don’t want to make it easier for moisture to get through.

Torn shingles, much like cracked shingles, are repaired by applying roofing sealant on the back part of shingle.

Then you press together the two pieces of shin-

gles that were torn and push them down to the shingle underneath.

Problem #3: Disintegrating or Missing Shingles If roof shingles are disintegrating from age this is a serious problem and will require a roof replacement.

If shingles are missing or are damaged from wind, hail or impact or other causes of environmental roof damage you will need to replace them. Hopefully, you have extra shingles on hand from the original installation to use in such cases.

Missing or damaged shingles need to be replaced with matching shingles. Keep the warranty for the roof in mind, because some might have specifications for how or what

October 12, 2023

kinds of materials are installed over the existing roof. If your roof is still under warranty you don’t want to nullify your warranty with your DIY job, so you might want to consult with a professional roofer.

If the area you’re covering with new roofing material has an underlying problem, you’ll need to remove all of the old material before proceeding with repairs--until you get down to the roof deck and identify the root cause of the problem. These problems could include: • Mold or mildew • Improper nailing of shingles • Improper roof substrate • Rot (could be caused by improper flashing) • Poor ventilation • Ice dams

Chicken Alfredo Soup From ThePioneerWoman.com

1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste 3 tbsp. salted butter 1 small onion, chopped 3 garlic cloves 1/4 c. all-purpose flour 4 c. low-sodium chicken broth 1 c. heavy cream 4 oz. fettuccine, broken into 2-inch pieces 3 c. broccoli florets 2 c. chopped cooked chicken 1/4 c. fresh parsley, chopped 1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice Red pepper flakes, to taste (optional) Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Melt the butter in a medium Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until sizzling, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the

flour and stir to coat the vegetables. Cook, stirring, until the coating is smooth but not browned, about 2 minutes.

Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the pot, and stir to combine. Adjust the heat so the soup is simmering and cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, add the fettuccine to the boiling water and cook until just al dente, 6 to 7 minutes, adding the broccoli to the pot in the last 3 minutes of cooking.

Drain well, then stir the pasta and broccoli into the soup along with the chicken.

Return the soup to a simmer and heat the chicken through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley.

Remove from the heat and stir in the parmesan and lemon juice; sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if desired.

Liv Nelson proved valuable against the towering number 40, Holly Kropf, with her countless blocks. Liv said,”When I was playing Holly at the net, all I was thinking was that I needed to get atleast one block for the team.” Overall the game was amazing to watch and the student section made the atmosphere even better.

The Malad Dragon football team made their way to bear country on Friday to play the Bear Lake Bears.

The final score of the JV game was 14-7 with the Dragons ending with the win. The Dragons fought hard as the Bears were winning 7-0. The second quarter ended with the Dragons leading the score by one. In the fourth quarter the Drag-

ons scored again, but there was a holding call so the touchdown was counted. However, two plays later the Dragons scored again winning the game. The varsity went into their game with positive attitudes ready to fight. Some highlights of the game were Kaden Hatch’s awesome interception! Another was Brady Showell with a good catch. The final score for the game was 41-20 with the Bears winning. Our Dragons offense the first half was strong leaving the battle against the Bears close.

Our C-team played last Thursday against South Fremont. The coaches were pumping up the players making sure they had confidence and good attitudes. It was another good home game ending with a win. The final score was 30-21, with the Dragons on top. Player Ky Willie said, “It was good to come out with another win and make our record 6-1. We can’t wait for our upcoming game against Bear River to end our season 7-1.”

Dragons suffer 20-41 loss at Bear Lake The Dragon football team suffered a tough and frustrating loss as they took to the road to play against Bear Lake for their Friday night matchup. Although the team saw some highs throughout the game, they couldn’t outshine the lows that came their way that led to a final score of 20-41.

The game opened on a solid footing, with Bear Lake putting up the first touchdown and PAT. Knowing that they had to get their own offense rolling, the Dragons took to the field in hopes of driving to the end zone. Unfortunately, the Bear’s defense put up a strong stop and Malad was forced to punt on their fourth down.

Bear Lake relentlessly began marching down the field when Malad not only made a big stop, but turned it into a scoring opportunity. With the Bears on 3rd and 18, their offense was feeling the pressure and the Dragons not letting up, the BLHS quarterback stepped back to throw. Seconds later he found himself without a receiver and with defenders coming in for the C Y

tackle. Scrambling, he began running from the ensuing Dragon defense.

Just seconds away from the sack, the Bear Lake quarterback hurled the ball to his man downfield.

Already cutting across the field, Kaden Hatch found himself in perfect position to make the catch for an interception.

With the Malad offense taking the field, they began marching to the endzone with carries by Hunter Wray, Ryan Hubbard and Brady Showell to bring them within just a few yards of scoring.

Quarterback Braylin

Tripp pushed his way behind his offensive line to cross the goal line for a Dragon touchdown. Unfortunately they weren’t able to score for a point conversion, ending the first quarter with the score 6-8.

Bear Lake answered with another scoring drive as they opened the second quarter of the game, bringing the game to 6-14. With a lot of game left to play, Malad was undeterred and brought a steady drive, making consistent gains down the field. Finding themselves eleven yards

from the endzone, Ryan Jensen grabbed a well defended pass from Tripp to put up another Dragon touchdown, making the score 12-14.

On the next Bear’s drive, they found their way into the endzone once again making it 12-20. With just over a minute left in the opening half, they added one more score to make it 1228. Just when it seemed unlikely for another scoring Dragon drive, the Malad offense stepped up to punch in one final score. Hustling from play to play, Malad strung to-

gether a series of pass plays to carry them down the field where Tripp connected with Hubbard for the score. The quarterback kept it for a dash to the end zone to add another two point conversion for a half ending score of 20-28.

That last scoring drive put the momentum squarely with Dragons as they began the second half. Unfortunately, errors put a stop to it in their opening drive.

Coach Coby Crozier said, “We returned the ball the start of 3rd and we were marching the ball down the field when we unfor-

VOLLEYBALL

Lady Dragons take down Pirates Taking down their district rivals, the Lady Dragons continue to be the top ranked team of the 2A district 5 team as they move through the final weeks of the regular season. As they hosted the West Side Pirates in their match up Wednesday, October 4, it was clear to see why they are leading the standings and what a force they are on the court.

In their second faceoff for the 2023 season between the Lady Dragons and the Pirates, Malad took control of the game early on and didn’t let up until the final whistle blew. As the opening set began, West Side came out strong and was able to keep up with Malad and some dish up well placed hits of their own. With balls coming across the net to the deep corner or as a short to, the MHS volleyball team did well to keep the ball in play and make the most out of each play.

With the Pirates up by one point, the Lady Dragons used their signature grit to not only tie up the game, but slowly begin to plow ahead.

Defending a strong attack from West Side, back row player, Mikell Keetch dove to pass up a hit that was clearly in, sending it back across the net. The Pirates rallied with another hit that was popped up with a soft block by Liv Nelson and Hallie Horsley.

Brylee Oglesbee kept the ball from dropping with Horsley sending

it back to Pirate territory. Digging the tough hit, the West Side pass was headed over the net where Adley Kimberling met the ball and attempted to drop it with a quick tip. The Pirates got a hand on it enough to keep it in play and once again send it back to Malad. Anistyn Tovey scrambled to pop the ball up, allowing setter Kimberling to put the ball in position for Horsley to slam it down for the point.

The Lady Dragons didn’t let up as they put up more big plays as Brynnlee Jones powered hits through the tough West Side double block, Izzy Haycock sent unpassable serves and Nelson put up ball stopping blocks. With a surge of energy, the Pirates attempted a run on the scoreboard just as the Lady Dragons capped off the first game with their final point. Fortunately for Malad, West Side committed an error to give up the last point to end the set 25-18.

Starting off the second game with the serve, Kimberling put a killer serve across the net, taking the first point of the set with an ace.

The MHS serves to follow were in a similar manner- difficult to read, tough to pass, and enough harder to make a play off of. The Lady Dragons are a challenging team to pass from the service line with aggressive jump serves, floaters, and controlled spot serves.

Countless times, the Pirates would pass up the tough MHS serve only to overpass the ball, setting up the Lady Dragons time and time again for a big hit. In a single rally, Horsley alone had two hits on an overpass, thanking her opponent for such a perfect setup by slamming nearly straight down.

Forcing errors for the West Side team and capitalizing on them, Malad jumped to an early lead and pushed on to win the second set 25-8.

The Pirates came out

in the third game with the hope to make a stop after falling short in the two previous games.

They tightened up their game to reduce their mistakes and cause a few for the Lady Dragons.

As the two teams tallied up their first handful of points, the scoreboard rallied back and forth just like the game on the court. Jones put a little extra fire and energy in her team as she took advantage of another West Side overpass off Kimberling’s serve. The MHS players began to increase the pressure as they picked up nearly every ball that came across the net and sent it back with even more force.

With the score 18-12, the Lady Dragon kept up their momentum as they won another tough rally.

Tovey popped up a near perfect pass that was sent to Horsley for the hit. The Pirates rallied with a block that Tovey put a quick hand on to keep it in play. Oglesbee bumped it up with Horsley sending it across the net with a strong tip.

West Side countered with another attack that was dug up by libero Oglesbee from the back.

Horsley tipped the ball over on the second hit, surprising the Pirates who could only respond with a free pass. Teagan Daniels took advantage of the easy volley, putting up a good pass that Kimberling set up for Horsley to hit, tooling it off the block to end the

Pushing on for the final points of the set and match, the Lady Dragons claimed the win after Jones put up a final attack against the Pirates, sending her hit off the block to win the game 25-15.

The Lady Dragons ended their week competing in the Butte County “I ‘Pink’ I Can” volleyball tournament.

Coach Camie Tripp was looking forward to having some new and tougher opponents to go up against. Looking back over their schedule, the Lady Dragons have easily been able to defeat the better part of their opponents and having a tighter competition is just what the MHS team needed as they move through the end of the season. Over

the 18 hours of tournament play, the Lady Dragons defeated each of their teams, including Rockland, The Ambrose School and Camas County, to put them in the championship game.

Going to the best of the three, Malad came up short as they went up against the undefeated and highly ranked Horseshoe Bend team.

The Lady Dragons move into their final week of their schedule, hosting the Soda Springs Cardinals for their last home game and senior night Wednesday, October 11 where all high school students will be admitted for free. The following night the MHS team will play in Bear Lake before the district game will begin on Saturday.
