NEWS IN BRIEF Mass shooting in Maine claims 18

Alleged Maine mass shooter Robert Card was found dead in a cargo trailer on the property of a recycling facility where he used to work. The discovery provided some sense of relief to the town of Lewiston, Maine, where the shooting occurred but it also raised a number of questions for the ongoing investigation. Last Wednesday, Card opened fire at a bowling alley and then a bar and grille in the town, leaving 18 people dead and at least 13 others injured. As the investigation has unfolded, police have learned that the Army reservist had a long history of mental health concerns, including several warnings that he may be considering some sort of mass casualty event. As recently as this summer, Card was treated for mental health issues and released. The guns used in the incident were all apparently purchased legally. The investigation into the shooter’s motives is an ongoing multi-agency effort.

Mike Pence leaves presidential race

Terri Phillips and Vicki Larkin, Mountain States Insurance

After continuing to poll in the middle single digits, former Vice President Mike Pence officially suspended his pursuit of the presidency. Suspending the campaign means that Pence will keep his campaign organization on standby to potentially be restarted at a later time if it is deemed viable. Former president Donald Trump is leading in the primary polls by large margins over Florida governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina governor and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. DeSantis, who is closest, is polling at around 13% to Trump’s roughly 57%. While it seems unlikely that the landscape will change very much before next spring’s primaries, Trump is currently involved in multiple court trials that his opponents are hoping may weaken his numbers. Pence has not announced any additional plans moving forward yet.

Matthew Perry dead at 54

Beloved actor and star of popular show “Friends” was found dead over the weekend in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home. Initial investigations of the scene have not found any evidence of foul play or drug use, but a full investigation and toxicology screening will be a part of the investigation into the unattended death. Perry had a long and well-documented struggle with drugs and alcohol over the years, though he was reportedly clean and in good health in the time leading up to his death.

Elementary School Veterans Essay Contest During the Veterans Day program at Malad Elementary School on Thursday, November 9, the students selected as the winners of the Veterans Day essay contest will present their essays to the audience of veterans, students, family, and community members. The contest is sponsored every year by the American Legion Post 65, and was judged this year by Legion Commander Garry White, Geneal White, Mary Alice Telford, and April Allen. The finalists were chosen

from all the submitted entries by a panel of retired teachers. Veterans Day is one of the most important school assemblies of the year for MES, which has a long and proud history of instilling a respect and appreciation for all veterans, but especially those from Oneida County. During last week’s presentations, many essays were presented for the judges’ consideration. After deliberating, the judges announced that they had selected McCall

McCall Clark—1st Place “How do we honor Veterans?” You should honor veterans whenever you get the chance. There are so many ways that we can honor veterans, so we should at least try to because of everything they’ve done for us. I think that they are really great people, so it is really important that we can honor, respect, and appreciate them. Now here are some ways that you can honor veterans. We can honor veterans by telling them thank you if you see one. Ask them which branch they served and how it was serving our country. Was it sad, hard, or even frustrating? You can tell they served if they have a cap that says something that has to do with the war, like Vietnam or veteran. You could ask them if any of their friends or family were in the army, if so you could ask them how their friends and family handled it. Only if they’re comfortable with sharing though. Show respect to the veterans by sending them cards and telling them thank you in your card. Maybe you could give them gifts like make food for them or even just smile at them. Say hello and ask how their day has been. You can donate money for them too. While we do our veterans program that's coming up, we can show honor and respect by singing all of our songs as best as we can. Also by memorizing our parts if we have one and just doing our best. If you hear about a veterans program you can go and see the veterans program. That can also be a way to honor, respect, and appreciate veterans. Also when we say the pledge of allegiance we can say it proudly, loudly but not yelling, and strongly because of everything we have accomplished because of the veterans. Think about everything they’ve done for us like knowing they might never come home, but they still fight for our country. Pay attention to the flag while we’re saying the pledge of allegiance instead of looking at things that are all around you. Look at the flag standing tall and proud until you’re all done. When you go into town you can go see the war memorial to visit and look at all of the people who died for us. Think to yourself how grateful you are for them. If you really think about it, there are millions of people who died for us. But even though they’re dead you can still honor them, and this is how you can. Just stop at the war memorial at some point and take a look. I’ve been there before and it really makes you think about things. It also made me feel great to know that I was honoring the veterans. Now I hope this showed you some ways that you can honor veterans. It would be so great if you honored veterans because we’re giving them appreciation when we do it. If we don’t show them appreciation then they could feel like you don't care that they went into war and fought for you. So please honor them and show them appreciation, it would probably make them feel awesome!

Contest winners McCall Clark, Bryten Bastian, Cassidy Schrenk, and Alyssa Seamons with the judges for MES’s Veterans Essay contest.

Bryten Bastian—2nd place “The Reasons We Need to Honor Our True Heroes” Veterans are all over the world. There are many in each branch of the military. Many gave their lives for our country. And here I now state,”All gave some, but some gave all.” This gives a clear picture of how much we need to respect and honor our Veterans. My great grandpa Theron was a Veteran. Even if he didn’t go on the battlefield and fight, he still served in the U.S Air Force. He was an engineer and repaired planes. He knew his work would probably get blown up or damaged, but he knew that it was helping our country. We can all be as selfless as him. To honor my grandpa Theron I’ll need to be as respectful and selfless as he was. To honor our Veterans we need to give them respect, wherever we are. At school when you're doing the pledge of allegiance please stand straight and don’t goof off, and have your hand correctly on your heart. We need to do this because it can touch some of their hearts of how respectfully you did it. Some people don’t even know what they did for this flag. Our Veterans gave up so many chances,to have a wonderful life or to be a parent. Veterans gave up their family’s. They did all of this for us because they cared for us, for our safety, not theirs. They were selfless, they were brave, they were loving to all of us.If you see a Veteran ask what branch they were in, and always give them your thanks, because this shows honor for their sacrifices. We honor our Veterans because they gave us the chance to live in this free country.

Cassidy Schrenk—3rd place “How Do We Honor Veterans?” We must honor Veterans.There is no excuse to disrespect them after all they have done for us and our freedom. Veterans have given up so much for us. For example, missing birthdays, weddings, graduations, sports, their kids' first steps, or words and so much more. Veterans' sacrifices are what allow us to live and enjoy each day as free Americans. When I see the flag, I always stand up proud and tall. When we honor the flag we honor the Veterans that fought or are fighting for our country’s freedom. When I see the red, white, and blue banner I think of all the men and women that put their lives on the line to fight for our country and our freedoms, this shows honor for their sacrifices. Veterans experience hard times in war. When I see a Veteran I can honor them by visiting with them, saying thank you for your service, asking

them what branch they served in, and letting them know we appreciate them. Veterans are our heroes. By treating them like heroes, we are honoring them and their sacrifices made to serve our country. Always respecting the flag is always respecting Veterans and all they have done.

Alyssa Seamons— Honorable mention “How do we honor Veterans?” Do you know what veterans are? Veterans are people who served in the military. They are the people who gave us freedom. This year I am in 5th grade. So I get to do the Veterans Program. To prepare for this we had to do boot camp. It was hard. Veterans are amazing people. Veterans are going to be wearing a hat that has their military branch on it. If you see one you need to honor them. You can honor them by smiling, giving gifts, donating money, and serving them. Also ask them about their services, tell them thanks, invite them to the veterans program, visit the war memorial, but most importantly take care of their health. Helping veterans is the best thing you can do. It is hard but it is amazing. Just saying thanks is enough to brighten their day. Veterans are very important because If there were no veterans then who would fight the wars? You would be in slavery and that would not be fun. You would half to work and work. That would be hard. You wouldn’t be able to go to school. You wouldn’t be able to do anything you want to do. Thanks to veterans, you can be free. If you were a veteran, imagine what you would leave behind, your family, your home, your town and much more. The things they would miss having a new baby, birthdays, holidays, weddings and a lot more. Wouldn't that be hard? Of course. They are giving their Lives for us to be free. You would miss them too. Every single day you would have to be ready. Every single day you are worried that you might die. Every single day you would be scared that you might lose a friend. That is hard. If you think that this is not hard then try it. I promise you it is hard. There are lots of wars. Some of them are: World War 1, World War 2, Creon War, Silver War, Vietnam War and way more. Those wars were big and veterans fought them for us. Honoring and respecting means a lot to them. It means they did the right thing. Veterans are amazing. Honoring them just makes them more amazing. So honor veterans. Veterans are awesome. We should be very grateful for them.

OBITUARIES

Daniel Ray Daniels Feb. 9, 1963 - October 29, 2023

The Co-op building hosts this year’s seasonal window displays, including these lovely ladies.

Haunted Downtown? As part of our newish yearly tradition, Enterprise staff and family spent the witching hour in some of Malad’s historical buildings looking for elusive ghosts, spirits, or contact with any outside entities of note. While not a slam dunk suitable for a cable TV show, this year’s findings were more intriguing than at least one of the skeptics on hand expected. The evening began with a night time tour through the Oneida County Pioneer Museum. While no specific experiences have been reported in the building, according to museum director Jean Thomas, the site is certainly the county’s largest repository of materials, relics, and connections to the past. At night, the museum takes on a completely different pallor than visitors might be familiar with, especially by flashlight alone. The mannequins and dental and surgical implements all become much less expected and familiar than they do in the full light of day. Despite the best efforts of our crew to scare themselves, nothing but nerves seemed to break the stillness of the main floor and basement, other than a few unexplained noises. The biggest scare occurred when Sherrie’s daughters pulled a sheet back from a box in the upstairs storage area to reveal what at first appeared to be a body. It was soon revealed to be a scale mannequin designed for the Welsh Festival to illustrate a coal miner in a coal tunnel. After leaving the museum, we headed over to the Evans co-op building, one of the most interesting old buildings on Main street, and the heart of Malad’s old downtown area. The building has been under discussion by the city council for years, and several plans to restore sections of the structure and bring it into usage are currently being explored. The cost of restoring such a large facility will obviously be enormous, and various grants and sources of funding have been and are being pursued. In the meantime, the building serves as a storage area for various groups, including the Friends of the Oneida County Library and the city. The building is also the location for the season window displays which have been created and maintained by the Coleman family (including this season’s amazing series of Halloween displays). therwise, the building largely sits as a testament to the past. Even during the daytime, the weight of decades worth of people existing within the walls can be felt heavily. You can al-

most hear the chatter of shoppers, the excited shouts of children, the routine noise of business, and the accumulation of generations worth of special events and moments. The imagined noises contrast sharply with the reality of the basement, where old vaults and storage areas are almost deathly quiet. Although the total area is not vast, the layout becomes much more maze-like under thin flashlight beams, and conversations echo in peculiar ways through the environment. More than once we experienced noises that couldn’t be directly located or explained, though it was comforting to assign them to the age of the building and its various stages of disassembly. Though the feeling on the main floor and in the basement was eerie, to say the least, nothing singular happened in either location. It was the suite of rooms on the upmost floor that produced unexpected results. The floor was used for a series of offices, and various commercial detritus is still scattered around, creating irregular, angular shows in reflection. In the upstairs room that had the most uneasy feeling, the group sat on the floor and tuned off their lights. Sherrie Wise’s daughter Bailey asked anyone who might be there to turn on the flashlight. Sherrie and daughter Kelsey Jones reported seeing a shadow move through the next room, after which the flashlight turned on to full brightness. Bailey said that if the presence didn’t want them to be there that it should turn off. Immediately, the flashlight dimmed. “I’m out of here,” Bailey said to the group. “But the flashlight is still on,” Kelsey said, insisting on the letter of the law. The flashlight then turned completely off, after which the group quickly exited. “I didn’t think anything was going to happen,” Enterprise owner Bryan Scott said afterward. “But that was something. That was definitely something.” It is here where your writer admits that the incident recounted above happened outside my experience. I was returning keys for the museum to Dotty Evanson just up the street when the culminating event took place. In fact, I was just in time returning to the co-op to meet the group, both shaken and stirred, hastily leaving the building. “You missed it!” Sherrie said. And so I did, once again. But there’s always next year!

Investigation of old files raised questions, but no ghosts.

The group descends from the museum’s top floor.

Daniel Ray Daniels, 60, of Malad City, Idaho was called home on October 29, 2023, while surrounded by his family at home after a courageous battle against cancer. Danny was born on February 9, 1963, in Malad, Idaho to Rex and Gloria Daniels. He grew up on the family ranch where he spent his time working side-by-side with his father and siblings. He attended Malad High School where he enjoyed activities such as FFA, Ag, and the automotive department. He graduated from Malad High School in 1981 and continued his education at Bridgerland, where he certified in diesel mechanics. In high school, Danny met the love of his life, Teresa Ann Tracy. They were married on October 8, 1982, and later sealed for time and eternity in the Idaho Falls, Idaho temple. They started their life together in Park Valley, Utah while Danny worked for Rose Ranch. After a summer there, they settled back in Malad where they started and raised their family of four children: Krichele, Kooper, Kelly, and Kyle. Danny began working at Hess Pumice driving truck and was the mine foreman in Daniels and also continued helping his dad on the ranch. He then began his 24-year career with Idaho Transportation Department where he was known as “Herf”. While there, he put in the hard work to earn multiple awards including District 5 Truck Rodeo finalist, Economic Opportunity for Improved Truck Routes, and became the foreman for several years. He enjoyed his time there with his crew, pushing snow, fixing guard rails, and maintaining the highways. Due to his battle with cancer, he made the difficult decision to retire in October 2022. Danny’s love for ranching became a reality when he purchased the family ranch. He carried on the tradition of raising, showing, and selling registered Hereford cattle. He took pride in raising quality herd bulls and replace-

ment heifers. Dad made it a priority to teach and share his love of cattle to his children and grandchildren. Together over the years, they have raised and shown multiple champion bulls, heifers, and steers. Dad also had a love for driving tractors and producing quality crops including alfalfa, barley, and wheat. He was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He held many callings including Sunday School president, teacher, Scout Master, and Ward Clerk. Danny “Poppy” was loved by many. We will miss him, his humor, his goodness, and his love. He is survived by his wife, Teresa, his four children: Krichele (Jason) Smith, Kooper (Lacey) Daniels, Kelly (Kaylie) Daniels, and Kyle (Nicole) Daniels along with ten grandchildren, three sisters, and three brothers. He was preceded in death by his parents, father-in-law Ross K Tracy, and mother-in-law Mary Ann Tracy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Lance Tripp for City Council In my opinion, Lance Tripp has done a good job in serving Malad City as a councilman. The experience he has gained in the past will make him even more valuable in the future for Malad. Please join me in voting for Lance Tripp for City Council in the upcoming election. Gene Caldwell, Former City Councilman

In support of Lance Tripp

Dear Idaho Enterprise Readers, With the City Council Elections coming up, I have been seeing the signs promoting the different candidates. While all the runners are great people who have unique talents and qualities, I strongly feel that Lance Tripp is what our growing community needs right now! I have known Lance Tripp since 2009. I had the opportunity to serve on the Malad AreaChamber of Commerce committee under Lance while he was President until 2014. During those memorable years, I proudly served the community with Lance, while observing and learning from him. The Chamber of Commerce helped to advance and promote local owned businesses in our valley, and took charge of many fun events that brought our valley together.

For the last few years, I have served on the Oneida Recreation Board (now committee) with Lance. Lance represents the city council. He is essential to the board; ensuring we follow the policies and procedures, stay within budgets, bridging city and recreation board to make sure both needs are met, and is committed to the advancement of the recreation for our area. Anyone who knows Lance Tripp will agree with me when I say; Lance performs his duty selflessly, with integrity and great leadership skills. His heart is committed to this community; all that Lance does reflects his love for our valley and its inhabitants. I have witnessed Lance be an advocate for the betterment of Malad. He has spent COUNTLESS hours at meetings, city events, and the park ensuring that everything is done correctly and smooth. Malad City and Oneida County have benefitted (whether we realize it or not) from Lance Tripp’s competent leading abilities. I support Lance Tripp for City Council. Bobbi Summers

ber of the City Council and as the past President of the Malad Chamber of Commerce to know the needs of the residents of Malad. He has the perspective to know what must be done to preserve the good and to overcome the challenges in our town. As President of the Chamber of Commerce, Lance worked tirelessly on events sponsored by the Chamber, including the Easter Egg Hunt and the 4 th of July. When the Malad Valley Welsh Festival needed a sound system for the outdoor amphitheater, he set up the Chamber’s system and trained volunteers in how it worked. As a City Council member, Lance has had responsibility for city recreation. He has worked with coaches, parents, and community members to ensure that adults and youth in the community have access to recreational facilities, including the splash pad and the pickleball courts. Lance takes his responsibilities seriously and works quietly, without fanfare, to fulfill them. Lance has the time to devote to the City Council. Governing Malad during this time of growth requires attending many, many local, regional, and state meetings, consulting with counterparts in other cities, listening to innumerable complaints and suggestions on the phone and in person, and conducting research into problems and solutions. Lance makes the time to accomplish the tasks required of him. He knows the job is not just a onemeeting-a-month commitment. Please vote for the person with the experience and the time to serve on Malad’s City Council. Vote for Lance Tripp. Jean Thomas

Not recommended for parents or kids By Gramma Dot So, living in small town USA has its perks and its challenges. City and County Governments don’t have a lot of extra money to flash around. That’s one of the drawbacks. However, having chosen to live here, we learn to do what we can to compensate. I understand there has been a healthy conversation on Facebook about priorities when it comes to budgeting our limited City dollars. Let me explain how our community ended up with some mighty fine pickleball courts. There were more than a few people in town who took up pickleball after the tennis courts behind the old high school were converted into pickleball courts. We used these almost daily in good weather for four or five years. There were lots of people playing and we knew it was only a matter of time before the community would pass a bond for a new school. We worried about the fate of our courts. Well, the day finally came and although we were cheering the building of a new school, no one was happy about having to sacrifice the courts. We needed a plan. We talked to lots of people, collected lots of signatures and got on the City Council Agenda. A few of us went to City Council, presented the signatures and offered to help build some courts at the City Park. The City, too, had realized there was a need for pickleball courts and had put some extra money into the Recreation Budget for that purpose. Lance Tripp, who is over the City

Park asked if we would be willing to serve on a committee and explore costs, donations, plans, etc. A committee was formed, and we went to work with Lance. Initially, we met with a company who installed pickleball courts and discovered a professional installation would be $50,000+ per court, and they couldn’t even begin until Fall 2023 because they were booked. Well, that wasn’t going to work. Next, we talked to everyone we could think of who might donate services, money, labor, etc. We have some very generous businesses, families, and individuals in town who expressed support. So, with commitments from many we drafted plans, decided on a site, and scheduled a day to start moving the dirt around. We took it one step at a time, not sure when the next step could happen. Jean Thomas wrote grants. Lance Tripp made phone calls to cement people. One of our committee members, Rex Robbins, became the foreman and things started dropping into place. Rex taught us how to set forms, lay rebar, and install fences. Lance’s contacts got us discounted prices for cement and cement finishing. Other pickleballers had connections to rebar, heavy machinery, gravel, etc. A big set-back came when we learned the cost to surface the courts was thousands more than what we had. The sealer hadn’t been put on the cement because the surfacing required non-sealed cement. We didn’t have enough money to surface the courts, and unsealed cement through

the winter would result in damaged cement. We went to the City and asked if they could help so the courts could be surfaced before winter. They agreed to use contingency funds if we would commit to replacing those funds. That meant continued fund-raising far into the future, but the surface needed protecting. We couldn’t wait. The courts were finished. Along with the City, we had been talking with the County about helping with the project. Their priority has been getting the Courthouse ADA compliant and they could not make any commitments until the cost of that project was known. Then, just this month, they got the budget projections and were able to commit some one-time funds which covered the borrowed contingency loan. Life works out! So, I choose to live where budgets are limited, the air is clean, the spaces are wide, and people work together to make good things happen. Our little community has done some amazing things over the past few years: new elementary, new runway at the airport, new splash pad, new pickleball courts, improved roads, and new sewer ponds. Each project has required countless volunteer hours and collaboration with elected officials, business leaders and people who just want to help! Life is Good, especially when we work together on projects that benefit us all!

Dianna Dredge spoke to the commissioners about a potential purchase of weather cameras for the department. The cameras gather surface temperature, air temperature, dew point, humidity, and etc, and they allow for a weather prediction sixteen hours out. The cameras would let the road department have remote information useful for making decisions about how and when to deploy resources throughout the county, especially on the west side, where information from Stone and Juniper is currently limited. The cameras would be maintained by the county, though they will be leased from the company who would provide software and hardware updating and support. The cameras would carry a $3,000 price tag as a yearly leasing fee. The company, Frost Solutions, will provide further information to Dredge, for discussion in a later meeting.

Engineering for rumble strip

Lisa Baker spoke to the commission about bids for a rumble strip study. 2 notifications for intent to bid were received for the project. LHTAC will rank the bids, which will then be selected by a representative of the commission, the Road and Bridge department, and LHTAC. Dianna Dredge and Ken Eliason will fulfill those roles from the county. Ultimately, the project should lead to the addition of rumble strips to sections of roadway within the county.

Part time employee in Sheriff’s department

Doug Williams from the Sheriff’s office spoke to the commissioners about a salary for a part time employee in the office. Williams referenced a line item in the department’s budget for part time employees on the books. The sheriff’s office had requested an increase in the hourly rate for part time employees, including dispatch and reserve. Pay was increased for the positions in the last budget year, but the office suggested that the wages had not been sufficient to bring in many applications. The commissioners were leery of raising the pay rate again so soon after the previous increase. Williams clarified that he was requesting that the line item for the position itself be used to increase the wages, which would not affect the overall budget. The commissioners

asked for a more detailed proposal from the sheriff’s office before making any decisions that would have such a large impact on the budget.

Public lands assessment

A proposal to conduct a public land assessment has been received. This study would be used to provide support for the county seeking PILT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) funds for federal lands in the county. Chairman Lewis felt that speaking to the other counties involved in the 4-CASI group before moving forward would be the next step.

Drone for weed spraying

Commissioners spoke with the Weed department about the potential purchase of drones for spraying. The choices have been narrowed down, and the commissioners opted to wait for a details expense proposal before making a purchase decision.

Building repair

Tory Richardson spoke to the commission about bids for repair on the county annex building. Vinyl siding needs to be replaced, as well as rain gutters and some other miscellaneous items. Funds for the repair will be taken out of the onetime expenses budget for $46,435 from Hess Building Contractors to repair the annex building. The courthouse was also discussed. Automatic locks for the doors have also been priced. Additional doors in the building were discovered to have been in need of access control under the new design plan. The project would require 3 communication hubs, the door equipment, and a license for the security system. 2 exterior doors and a number of interior doors would be updated. After discussing the layout, it was determined that a new bid would be needed to account for a few remaining items to be included. ADA compliant cabinets for county offices were discussed. Cost effective strategies for bringing materials into compliance were considered. Wheelchair access routes, and suitable heights for cabinets, tables, and other furniture are all parts of the compliance mandate. The project hours should be minimal, as the materials are being built elsewhere and then installed during a short session, avoiding

much interference with the daily operation of the courthouse. The carpet in the courthouse is also in need of replacement. The cabinets which need to be replaced are currently on top of the carpet, so the question of whether to include the carpet work at the same time was raised. A current bid for the carpet is not available, but Chairman Lewis felt that the cabinet and desk project should not be delayed any more than was necessary. A motion to fund just over thirty-two thousand dollars for ADA work on cabinets in the courthouse was approved. The Event Center was also up for discussion. Bids for a backup generator for the Event Center have been received. $10,000 would include a new tank and a line. The county will pour a pad of concrete. D and T Electric will take care of the wiring. The commission requested a more detailed timeline for the project before accepting any bids. The roof for the Event Center is also in need of repair. Additional items are needed for the rain gutters to protect against snow accumulation, as well as additional downspouts. A motion to accept the bid from Stainless Steel siding for new rain gutters and snow jacks for $3,300 was approved from the one-time expense budget. Road and Bridge building needs a handicapped compliant parking spot. The roof line will be extended to cover both entryways for the building. A bid for $21,200 for a concrete porch and roof cover was approved from Purdum Construction, LLC from one-time expenses.

Assessor— resolution

Documents planned for destruction by the assessor’s office were discussed. Resolutions are required for all official record destruction under the Records Retention policy. Depending on their type, documents are required to be kept for certain lengths of time, which requires a thorough inventory. Kathleen Atkinson is still in the process of making that determination. The state and counties throughout the state each have their own retention schedules. Attorney Brower suggested that establishing a clear countywide schedule for document destruction by type would make the process more streamlined and efficient in the future. Chairman Lewis

Docks at Deep Creek and Crowthers

Commissioner Jeppsen provided an update on the Deep Creek project. Fish and Game reported on the status of the docks at the facility. The docks were purchased by the county in 2003. Fish and Game have located some of the docks that could not be accounted for and retrieved them to the surface. Fish and Game is willing to maintain the docks. The county plans to inventory its stores and reservoirs for any other missing dock infrastructure that may be in its possession but not visible from aerial images.

Rocky Mountain Power

Steve Leckie from Rocky Mountain Power spoke to the commission to provide an update on the Gateway West Transmission Line project. Rachel Roberts, Pacific Corps project manager was joined by a number of other project managers and deputies to discuss the ongoing project, as well as representatives from the BLM. The route for the line comes from the environmental impact study conducted in 2012. Gateway West is a joint project between Idaho Power and Pacific Corps (the parent company of Rocky Mountain Power). A number of miles of the project will run through Oneida County. The total project covers 1,000 miles. The prior steps in the project have been completed, and it is now entering the implementation phase. Segment E is the route that runs through Oneida. The segment runs from Downey to Melba, with 5 and 7 specifically in the county. No structures or access roads are covered by the path. Steel lattice structures at 1,200 feet apart will be located along the corridor. Segments 5 and 7 cover 36.5 miles through the county. Construction should begin in 2027, and be completed by 2030.

Veterans Book Launch set for November 11 In 1949, long-time owner/editor of The Idaho Enterprise, Marion (Swede) Hanson, and his friend William J. (Bill) Byrd published “The Red Book,” a compilation of the pictures, names, and brief descriptions of many of the Oneida County veterans who served in World War II. A few years ago, after reviewing “The Red Book” (so called because of its distinctive red felt cover), Gene and Kay Caldwell began thinking that all of the veterans of Oneida County – all 1800 – needed to be recognized in such a publication. Now that dream has become a reality. Thanks to the technical wizardry of Brent Bowen, the support of the American Legion Ernest W. Jones Post #65, financial help from several donors, and encouragement of veterans and their families, the book has been published and will be available at a special event on Veterans’ Day – Saturday, November 11,

2023. The full-color, 400page book contains pictures and names of as many Oneida County veterans as the Caldwells and Brent were able to find through family history searches, phone calls, emails, and every means available. The process has been both involved and as thorough as possible. They know that some veterans are still not included but hope that the book will inspire families to send pictures and information to them for a possible future edition. Beginning with James Peter Jensen, who served in the Spanish-American War, through World Wars I and II, Korea, and Vietnam, to today’s War on Terrorism, the veterans of Oneida County have served our country and community with many paying the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy. Many books include histories of these wars, but this book is unique in recognizing our Oneida

County veterans. Those who have pre-ordered books, those who would like to purchase books, and anyone who would just like to see the book are invited to the celebration on Saturday, November 11, from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the American Legion Building in downtown Malad. A short introductory program will be at 2:15 after which the books will be available for distribution and sale. Gene Caldwell himself will be experiencing an especially significant Veterans Day, as he is scheduled to be a part of a Utah Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. to visit a war memorials as a honored guest. In 1952, Gene was sworn in as a member of the United States Army and began training for work in the Cryptography division, where he would work coding and decoding messages for the Korean War effort with the 24th Signal Corps in Japan and then Korea where he spent fifteen months.

Brent Bowen, Kay Caldwell, and Gene Caldwell stand with newly delivered copies of the Veterans book.. The book will be released officially at a ceremony on Veterans Day at the Legion building.

After the war, Gene returned to the states and graduated from Utah State University with a degree in Civil Engineering. He went to work for the Army Corps of Engineers, where he remained until retiring 32 years later. After returning to Malad, Gene continued to serve his country, state, county, and city as a City Council member

for five years and County Commissioner for ten. He has continued active membership with the American Legion Ernest W. Jones Post #65, where he has held a number of offices. A full accounting of the Honor Flight will be presented following Gene’s return. Everyone is invited to the book launch event on this, one of the country’s

most profound days of commemoration for the countless men and women who have given everything in the service of their country. The city of Malad and Oneida County sincerely thank Gene Caldwell and all its veterans for their incalculable sacrifices in the cause of freedom over the years and into the present.

Students hit the streets for Halloween The annual Halloween parade for Malad’s Elementary school students took place on October 26 on a chilly but festive afternoon. The parade route, led by the sheriff and the school’s faculty, staff, and administration began at the school, wound around the Nell J Redfield Memorial Hospital, and back to the school. Parents and family lined the streets along the entire route, cheering for the seemingly endless column of ghosts, monsters, princesses, cowboys, robots, and everything else under the sun. It was a great chance for students to get some exercise, with Mayor Joan Hawkins walking along with them in support of the Mayor’s Walking Challenge. It also gave students a chance to see what their fellow students had chosen to dress up as for the year. Here are a few pictures capturing the chaos and excitement of the parade.

Mayor Hawkins helped walk the parade.

That clown is certainly suspicious. Thank goodness Indiana Jones is on the scene!

Despite the excitement, the parade stayed orderly and fun.

Classic costumes held their own, along with more modern choices.

Halloween can be a very jumpy holiday.

MHS Lady Dragons take second at state volleyball!

Weeks and weeks of practices, games, training, and preparation all lead up to one ultimate ending- the State Championship game. A bid to that final game isn’t in the cards for most teams across the state, but it was not only a possibility, but a reality for the Malad Lady Dragons volleyball team. Beginning their season, they were unsure just how well they would compete, but as they took down one opponent after another, their goal of a state tournament invitation was becoming less of a hope and more of an actuality. As they opened their IHSAA State Volleyball Tournament venture, the Lady Dragons were once again set to play their district opponent, Bear Lake. In match four, played on Friday, October 27, the Lady Dragons dominated the court as they beat the Bears in only three games. In their previous matches through their regular season and district tournaments, the scores reflected a close competition on the court. But in their final matchup of the season, the score only illustrated the Lady Dragon’s ability to take command of the game and never look back as they defeated the Bears for the last time, winning 25-14, 2518, 25-17. After they win over Bear Lake, Malad moved on to play Firth, the #7 seed of the tournament that had earlier beaten Kellogg. Much like their earlier game, the Lady Dragons came out ready to play, focusing only on the game before them. As they moved their sets against the Cougars, the Lady Dragons not only found ways to exploit their weaknesses, but also how to make C C Y Y

the most of their own strengthsdominating hitters, spot on servers, a consistent setter and gritty diggers. Malad took down Firth in just three games, winning 25-22, 25-19, and 25-12. With their two opening games behind them, the Lady Dragons were faced with their toughest games of the tournament. Advancing to the

intense offensive game with some incredible hits, but also played a smart and quick defensive game as they dug every hit the Mustangs sent their way. As the two teams battled it out, it was the Lady Dragons that dominated the game as they put up 13 points to Melba’s 4. Brylee Oglesbee put up an impressive run

The Lady Dragons after their second place at the state tournament.

next stage of the tournament, Malad was set to play the Melba Mustangs. Malad narrowly won the first set as they went 27-25 after trailing behind Melba for most of the game. The Mustangs were sure they had the first game wrapped up as they led 20-24, when Malad stepped up to put four consecutive points on the board to tie it up at 24 points each. The final points went back and forth between the two teams until Brynlee Jones put an attack to the left back corner to put them up by one point. Mickell Keetch floated a jump serve to the Mustangs that set up their own attack from the outside. Mady VanBebber and Izzy Haycock met the attack with a block, dropping it straight down to win the point and the first game. In a just as tough and competitive second game, Melba slid past at the finish to win 24-26. With each team winning a set, the Lady Dragons came out in the third set with a new drive. Even as the game opened up Malad put on the pressure that not only took Melba out of sync, but clearly shook their whole play. Getting up 11-2, the Lady Dragons not only played an

from the service line, sending over four nearly impassable serves. Just as Melba fell into a better rhythm and started putting a few points on the board, Malad put a hard stop to their progress. VanBebber and Haycock put up another big block, followed by a big hit by Haycock. In addition to great defensive and offensive plays, Malad did well to capitalize on Melba’s mistakes as they sent several hits, serves and tips out of bounds, leading them to take game three 25-10. The Mustangs replied to the win by coming out big in the fourth game. They brought out a new intensity that dominated the set, winning it 14-25. With each team winning two sets, it was down to the fifth and final game. Play after play, the Lady Dragons went all out in their attempt to win. Hallie Horlsey was relentless as she covered the floor defensively and as she pounded the ball offensively. Setter Adley Kimberling pushed the Mustangs to the very edges of the court as she found weak spots in their coverage to dump the ball. Anistyn Tovey and Teagan Daniels added their own saves and digs from the back row to them in the game just as

it seemed the play would be over. With only 15 points to secure the win, both teams were playing all out. Neither team could keep the lead long as they continued to inch past each other. Pushing it to extra points, the Mustangs eventually extended their lead by two points to win the match 15-17. Coming up short against Melba set Malad to next play Cole Valley Christian High. Despite having just played, the Lady Dragons were full of energy and determination to take the win. Malad took the first game 25-20 to which Cole Valley answered by winning the second set 26-28. In another close matchup, the Lady Dragons took the win over the Charges by pulling ahead just at

the end 26-24. Winning two sets to one, Malad was ready to put the game to bed and came out full throttle to win the fourth game 25-17. In a true double elimination game, the only two teams left in the tournament were the Lady Dragons and the Melba Mustangs. In their second matchup of the tournament and of the day, the two teams took to the court once again to battle it out. In an exhausting three game matchup, the Mustangs were able to overcome the Lady Dragons and outscore them 21-25, 18-25 and 23-25. While they were disappointed to not finish in the top spot, the Lady Dragons accomplished an incredible feat to be named the second place team of the IHSAA State

Volleyball tournament. Coach Camie Tripp spoke of the tournament saying, “While second isn’t the finish we were hoping for, I’m super proud of how hard we fought. WE knew that first match with Melba was a big deal, and while we did a lot of really great things, we failed to capitalize on opportunities when we had a chance to seal the deal and that came back on us “In the end, a few too many unforced errors down the stretch is what cost us. It’s so hard to lose those close ones. I was so proud of the girl’s resiliency to bounce back and beat Cole Valley, but we ran out of gas down the stretch (and still kept it close) the second time against Melba. They fought so hard- I’m just so proud of them!”

Sixth Grade Wins Championship Game! They say it isn’t the size of the dog in the fight, but rather the fight in the dog. It might be cliche, but the Malad Dragon Youth 6th grade team recently proved just how true that statement is as they defeated the Aberdeen Tigers in the Southeast Idaho Youth Football League championship game. Malad’s Head Coach and director, Haydon Montgomery shared, “Through the season, we were never the biggest team nor were we always the fastest team. In that championship game, we were neither. But, we were a team that believed in ourselves, that believed in each other and believed in the plan that the coaches had to succeed.” The Malad Dragon Youth Team consisted of a mix of 5th and 6th graders. Their season began as they began practicing on August 7. In the Southeast Idaho Youth Football League 6th Grade Division, the go up against teams from Aberdeen, Bear Lake, Grace, Soda Springs, West Side and North Pocatello. In their 2023 season, the Dragons went undefeated with a

6-0 record. Coach Montgomery says, “This is a group of kids that love the game of football. You could always see it when they played.” The team clinched the #1 seed in the playoffs and began their post season games going up against the #4 seed, Bear Lake. Malad beat Bear Lake 26-0 to advance to the championship game on October 28 at the ISU Holt Arena where they played Aberdeen for the title. Aberdeen got up early 13-0. Despite being down, the team never quit as they remembered how their coaches had taught them, “The

said, “We want to thank all the boys and families for their support and sacrifices. Special thanks to all the fans at the game! Dragon Power! It has been a rewarding experience for all of us to coach this group of boys!” Playing for the Dragon 6th Grade team was: #1 - Cache Maroney #2 - Devin Ball #3 - Lincoln Berry #5 - Issac Bird #6 - Weston Bates #7 - Declan Summers #9 - Bentley Maddox #10- Dawson Jones #11 - Dakota Toone #12 - Logan Cottam #13 - Rustin Mont-

most important play is the one that we are in right now.” To inspire their team, Coach Montgomery and his staff coined a word that the team says over and over to keep them motivatedNGUNNGU, which means Never Give Up, Never Never Give Up! In their final game when they were behind, Coach Montgomery said, “We never gave up and kept fighting one play at a time. We battled back and won 24-19! These kids went through the season not just wanting to be champions, but they were willing to also do

what it takes to be champions. This win was a huge accomplishment!” This win marks the first time any football team from Oneida County has ever won the championship at any level. While there have been other teams to have made it to a championship game, they have come up short. With such a promising start, these boys are beginning a strong foundation for future Dragons football teams. Malad began their play in the Southeast Idaho Youth Football League around 2001.

STATE CROSS COUNTRY Lining up on the starting line for the last time on a freezing, windy morning, the Malad Cross Country teams demonstrated just what “Dragon strong” means. Racing once again at the Portneuf Wellness Complex in Pocatello, it was the first time since 2003 that both the MHS Men’s and Women’s teams qualified for the state race. Getting to the IHSAA Cross Country Meet on Saturday, October 28 was no easy feat for the Malad runners, but since the very beginning of their season, it was a goal that they had set. The men’s team set their intentions high for the season, to not only qualify for state as a team but as district champions. The women’s team, realizing that they had some incredibly tough competition to overcome, set their sights on a bid to the state meet by taking either first or second place at the district level. While the goals the teams had set were entirely attainable, they knew it wouldn’t be easy. They would have to push themselves to train harder, run faster and be both mentally and physically stronger. For many of them, their training and work towards their goals began long before the season ever began as they tallied up thousands of miles. Despite their preseason preparation, the season still held many challenges they had to overcome before they would accomplish their goals. For many of the XC athletes, they spent a large part of their season overcoming illnesses and injuries when they had hoped they would be shaving seconds off their times. Brynlee Bastian, Braun Nalder, Brex Martinsen, Brooke Isaacson and Baylor Bean had to think outside the box to stretch, strengthen and train as they fought their way through injuC Y

ries. Biking, aqua jogging, chiropractic care and physical therapy became their focus in order to get them back on the running course. Coach Tia Talbot spoke of these runners saying, “They are a dedicated, tough bunch! They really came together, working through their challenges to run with and for their time. I think that's what it takes to win!” The MHS XC teams know they run their very best when they work together and push each other as they run their course. But they also knew that successful pack running doesn’t just happen on race day. It is developed as a team comes together, something that their team captains and seniors worked to encourage every day. Their dedication to bringing their team together played a big part to their success throughout the season. Although it was only nine days since their district races on the very same course, the state race day looked and felt wholly different from their previous races. With temperatures dropping from a perfect 70 degrees to a freezing 30 degrees, it meant that it would be a very different experience. Their determination to race at their best was enough to motivate them back to the starting line, albeit with a few extra layers, ear muffs and gloves. And as they raced around the freezing course several racers, including Bastian, Cally Coleman, Isaacson, and Kaylee Nalder, set new season records while Jenna Talbot and Boston Burbidge set new personal records. When the places were tallied up, the MHS Women’s team found themselves in an impressive third place behind Soda Springs and Ririe. Coleman earned a top ten finish in 6th place with a time of 20:03.91.
