Alice in Wonderland Auditions Held; Rehearsals Underway The buzz in the Malad Elementary School auditorium was palpable as over 80 local kids made their way to the stage to audition for the Missoula Children’s Theatre production of Alice in Wonderland on Monday evening. The play, which will be held on Saturday January 29th, will represent the culmination of a week’s worth of acting classes and workshops at the school, as well as the intensive rehearsal for the approximately 60 students selected for the performance.

Directors Dorothy Jo Oberfoell and James Buhse introduced themselves to the energetic group on the stage, and explained their mission.

“We have a red truck outside filled with almost all the stuff we need to put on a great show. We have costumes, we have props, we have scripts… but do you know what we still need?” Debra Jo asked the rapt audience.

A scattering of responses filled the silence: “Alices? People? Actors?”

“That’s right—we need you,” Oberfoell said.

Buhse and Oberfoell took turns explaining the essential qualities they were looking for in their eventual actors. “Does

anyone know what commitment means?” Buhse asked, before explaining that “it means, when you say you’re going to do something you do your very best to do it. That means being at every rehearsal ready to go. If you are going to be in the show, we need everyone to be here all week.”

Buhse explained that “Alice in Wonderland is full of characters, and we’re going to need a lot of you to help out. But it’s important to know that not every character is right for every actor.

Dorothy Jo and I are professional actors, and we’ve had lots of times where we weren’t picked for a part we wanted, and that’s okay.”

“What we do need,” Oberfoell said, “is actors with certain qualities.”

The qualities spelled out by the two were commitment, loud and clear voices, expressive bodies and faces, and (they stressed) the ability to follow directions. “Every single thing that happens from here on is part of the audition,” Buhse stressed.

“Following directions is part of that.

Saying lines is part of that. And listening is a very important part of that.”

Directors Dorothy Jo Overfoell and James Buhse run the acting hopefuls through the movement portion of the audition for Alice in Wonderland

Despite the natural tendencies of elementary aged kids, the rules were followed for the most part over the next hour and half of the audition. While there were certainly some points at which the group needed to be reminded about staying quiet and keeping still, for the most part the acting hopefuls handled themselves well. The audition itself involved speaking a variety of lines, perform-

ing physical actions, singing, and following directions.

“This is the biggest group we’ve ever worked with,” Buhse said. “And the youngest,” Oberfoell added.

“But they did a great job.”

By the end of the night, the nervous energy was approaching critical levels. As soon as the directors announced that they had made their casting decisions, the

stage hushed and gathered around. As Buhse and Oberfoell made their way through the list—lobsters, flowers, cards, royalty, the march hare and mock turtle, several Alices, and the rest—most of those who were called out beamed and walked up to get their scripts and share them with their friends.

Those who didn’t make it into the show took it in stride and with good grace.

There was no rest for the cast though, as rehearsals began almost immediately after the audition. Over the week, most of the cast members will be required to rehearse for an hour or more a day, with some of the roles requiring even more time. While a lot of effort will be required of the actors, the opportunity to work with a professional, worldclass children’s theatre is a certainly worth it.

Malad Idaho Stake Holds Stake Conference The Malad Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints held its annual conference January 22-23.

The Saturday evening adult session featured speakers discussing several programs, events and activities available to help teach, lift and strengthen members of the Malad Stake.

Sister Carol Elcock, a service missionary with the BYU-Pathway Worldwide, presented information on the church’s education program. The program begins with three semesters to help students prepare for university learning, studying skills for university and professional life alongside institute classes. After the completion of the initial three semesters, students are then matriculated into university classes at BYU-Idaho or Ensign College to earn various degrees or certificates. Sister Elcock shared how all courses incorporate teachings from past and current day prophets and apostles, to increase faith as well as secular learning.

Following Sister Elcock, Elder and Sister Shakespeare of the Box Elder coordinating council for service missionaries taught about the service mission opportunities young men and women have as full time missionaries. Service missions have been available for several years, but recent changes have made them more feasible and elevated their importance as part of the gospel sharing effort.

Those preparing to serve full-time missions, whether a proselyting or service mission,

now fill out the same application where their information can provide insights to direct their extended call. Missionaries who are not able to complete a proselyting mission due to mental, physical, and emotional health reasons are extended a mission call to serve in their local area with council from their Stake President. Missionaries unable to continue serving in their proselyting missions can transfer to their home stakes where they can complete their mission as a service missionary.

While service missionaries continue to live at home, they are still required to live the same missionary standards as all full-time missionaries, attend district meetings, study the gospel daily, and to conduct themselves as a representative of Jesus Christ. Service missionaries serve under the direction of their Stake President rather than a Mission President, along with coordinators who assist in integrating, scheduling and organizing the mission activities and meetings.

Elder and Sister Shakespear shared the importance of changing the perception of service missionaries and removing the stigma that can surround such a calling. Elder Shakespear spoke of how the Lord loves service and those that render love and service to others.

President Brandon Ward, Second Counselor of the Malad Stake, took the occasion to share the upcoming trek event for the youth, feeling impressed to share important information

that will help parents and youth make the most of this opportunity. The trek is open to anyone turning fourteen in 2022 up to graduating seniors. Invitations will be extended to adults to serve as ma’s and pa’s, to assist with various elements of the trek. The Trek will be at the Sellars Creek Ranch, four miles South of Bone, Idaho, home to one of the church’s welfare cattle operations. It has been an official church trek site since 2015. The Trek will begin the morning of Thursday, August 4th and will conclude the evening of Saturday, August 6th, during the sports moratorium for all athletic teams. The Trek provides an incredible opportunity for the youth to connect with each other, their ancestors and their Heavenly Father.

President Ward continued, “Our challenges aren’t physical adversities like our ancestors but we will still have a choice to be faithful, obedient, and committed to the gospel.”

President Jason Sperry, First Counselor of the Malad Stake Presidency next addressed the congregation, choosing to speak on how wards are implementing the organizational changes since the bishoprics have been given the responsibilities of the youth, and the general membership duties had been shifted to the Elders quorum and Relief Society presidencies.

It had been brought to his attention that since the announcement of the organizational change in October of 2019, ward leaders had been well

trained on the new division of responsibilities but the general membership seems to have had less instruction. Looking back, President Sperry realized that some members may be unsure of the proper proceedings with so many changes taking place.

For years the bishops have been directed that as the presiding officer of their wards, they must delegate and trust those serving with them to carry out the administration details for the wards’ needs.

President Sperry shared that from the opposing perspective, when ward members have need of their church leaders, they should first begin by seeking help from their Relief Society and Elders quorum presidencies. He continued, “Adults, please understand that if a bishop refers you to someone else, it is not because he does not love you. It is so he can have time to care for the rising generation.”

There are still duties concerning all members that the bishop shouldn’t delegate, which include being a common judge, caring for the poor and needy by the use of offerings, and administering the finances and temporal affairs of the church. All other duties such as missionary work, family history, temple work, or trainings should be left to the other leaders. As ward members are in need of counsel with their challenges, Relief Society and Elders quorum presidents are set apart with the authority to do just that.

As President Sperry conclud-

ed, he said that the time to make this change has come and must be implemented so that members, in whatever capacity they serve, can assist the Lord in His work the way they are needed.

President David Jensen spoke to conclude the adult Saturday night session, saying that the challenges of the members had been weighing heavily on his heart, especially the challenges of the rising generation.

Reading from Moses, he highlighted the solemn responsibility Adam and Eve accepted, to make “all things known to their sons and daughters.”

President Jensen observed that most parents of the Malad Stake do well to take care of the physical needs of their children, but helping meet the spiritual needs can be much more challenging. Over his years serving as stake president, he has come to see that the responsibility of parents, leaders, friends and family of the youth are to help them navigate through the course of their lives against the many confusing voices of the world. President Jensen asserted, “We need to help our children to find truth, let God prevail, strengthen their spiritual foundations, and Hear Him.” He suggested several ways that parents can help strengthen the youth and help them navigate their lives. They need to be taught to keep the Sabbath day MALAD IDAHO STAKE HOLDS STAKE CONFERENCE Page 2

SCHOOL BOARD The monthly meeting of the Oneida School Board was held on Tuesday, January 18, 2022.

JoLynne Price, science and physical education teacher at Malad Middle School, was honored as the Oneida School District “Employee of the Month.” (See accompanying article.)

As this was the first Board meeting of 2022, the re-elected members of the Board -- Brent Evanson, Brandon Ward, and Tresie Carter -- were sworn in as trustees of Oneida School District. Kirk Willie was re-elected as Board Chair, and Chalae Teeples was re-elected as Board Vice-Chair.

Carlean Tubbs was appointed the Board clerk, and Brandi Warren was appointed the Board treasurer. Board members took turns reading the Code of Ethics aloud and then signed the document. Regular monthly meetings of the Board will continue to be on the third Tuesday of each month, beginning at 6:00. The posting locations for notices about Board meetings will continue to be the U.S. Post Office, the Oneida County Courthouse, the Oneida School District Office, and the District website. Zoom will be optional as a posting site.

The Board discussed what they had learned at the Idaho School Board

Association conference about preparing for emergencies. Officials of the Rigby School District had told of their experiences after two school shootings and had demonstrated emergency kits they had prepared in the aftermath of those incidents. The Board discussed having an all-district training for all staff and preparing emergency kits similar to those prepared by Rigby School District personnel.

The Board approved the schools being closed for a snow day on January 5 and discussed updating the snow day protocol to include late starts for schools as well as school closures. Superintendent Jon Abrams noted that snow often tapers off during the morning, and schools could start a couple of hours late rather than having a school day canceled. By evening, activities and practices could be held if the weather has cleared up. A few snow days would still be built into the school calendar. If a day has to be made up, a make-up day would be on the next available Friday rather than at the end of the school year.

The public will be informed of changes in the snow day protocol.

With a few changes, the IHLA handbooks for grades K-8 and high school were approved by the Board. The Board

discussed the school calendar for 2022-2023, and Board member Tresie Carter noted that Fair Week had not been taken into consideration.

The new proposed calendar will have school starting the Monday after the Fair with the last day of school being the Thursday before Memorial Day. Professional development and school preparation days may be held during Fair Week.

The District COVID policy will be updated and simplified with the goal of keeping students in school unless they are sick; if sick, students are to stay home.

An early graduation plan was approved for Harley Jones, who has completed all high school graduation requirements and has a plan for continuing her education.

The Board approved the purchase of a new dump truck that would be used for snow removal; the purchase price is not to exceed $25,000.

Building administrators gave brief reports.

Malad Elementary School Principal Sarah McIntyre reported that the PTO had arranged for the Missoula Children’s Theater to come to the elementary school to teach the students about theater and prepare them in one week to present a play.

Malad Middle School Principal Robert Hannah

reported that more students received awards through the “Armored for Excellence” program in the second quarter than in the first quarter.

Ski days are going well, and boys’ basketball is in full swing. He noted that the band is sounding better all the time, especially after the purchase of a new tenor saxophone.

Malad High School Principal Michael Corbett thanked teachers for helping with maintenance, especially with cleaning the halls after snow is tracked in. He complimented the snow removal crew for working through the night to have the parking lots ready for school. He thanked Superintendent Abrams for being at games and activities.

He noted that there is a shortage of officials for games. He finished by

Library Beginning Computer Classes February 2nd As the result of an ARPA grant, the Oneida County Library was able to purchase a number of computers for use in an Adult Education series of Beginning Computer Courses. The courses are designed to provide instruction to those in the community with an interest in learning and expanding their basic computer skillsets, and will be held the first Wednesday of the Month over the next 4 months.

The grant, through the Idaho Commission for Libraries, totaled $24,500, which allowed for the purchase of 12 laptops—3 macs and 9 PCs. The laptops will be used to introduce class members to the basics of computer operation, a range of fundamental computer skills, and job search strategies. The course will be primarily be conducted on the PC platform, although those interested in learning Mac functions may contact the library about scheduling a separate session.

Computer skills are increasingly necessary in today’s world, with everything from communication to finance and billpaying requiring at least a base level of facility with common software suites and hardware interfaces.

Anyone who has experienced the frustration of handling documents, file types, internet isC Y

sues, and the host of other computer interactions that make up a good portion of professional and personal work could certainly benefit from these courses.

Library Director Kathy Kent says, “we were very excited to get this grant, and even more so, excited to offer these courses to anyone who is interested in learning computer skills.”

Beginning Computer Classes will be held the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30 for those (18 years old and over) who have registered.

Class space is somewhat limited, but the course will be free for participants.

Anyone interested in the program should contact the Library as soon as possible at 208-7662229 to reserve space in the program.

Adult Education Class Schedule for 2022 announced A range of adult education courses have been scheduled for the 2022 season.

These courses will cover a wide variety of topics, from the practical to the more cutting edge, and are free and open to the public. The courses are taught by the Library staff, as well as those from inside the community (and others), with knowledge and experience on the subjects at hand.

reporting that the Academic Team is doing well, especially considering that many team members are freshmen.

Idaho Home Learning Academy administrator Terri Sorensen reported that they have hired extra reading specialists in an attempt to help students in grades K-3 with their reading. A Key Club has been started at the IHLA high school with a $500 donation from the Capital City Kiwanis Club in Boise. This international club offers students opportunities for service and leadership.

The school counselors are offering aid to parents, who are IHLA students’ main teachers.

Superintendent Abrams reported that he and the faculty of Stone Elementary School meet monthly with the school

improvement consultant and that the students are doing well.

The Board approved the following personnel, pending their passing the State-mandated background check: Emma Bryan as a physical therapy intern working with the regular physical therapist at the high school every Tuesday and Thursday; Natalie Fraizer as an aide at Malad Elementary School; and Heather Carter as a substitute teacher.

After a short Executive Session, the Board voted to offer Mr. Abrams a two-year contract (through 2025) with the salary to be determined later.

The next Oneida School Board meeting will be on Tuesday, February 8, because of scheduling conflicts.

Ireland Bank Promotion Ireland Bank is pleased to announce the promotion of Brittnee Daniels to Assistant Cashier.

Oneida County Deputies Meet

The Oneida County Deputies held its first quarterly meeting of 2022 on Tuesday, January 18, with about half of the members present.

After a pizza lunch, the members heard from Mr. Jon Abrams, Superintendent of Oneida School District, who explained his philosophy about schools.

Mr. Abrams used metaphors and examples to explain his job as superintendent, a position he has held for over twenty years in several school districts in Idaho and Wyoming. Growing up in Preston, he knows a lot of people in Oneida County and enjoyed talking about education.

Mr. Abrams’ philosophy is simple: Students come first. If an educator does not have this perspective, he or she should change careers.

He said that when walking through a cow pasture, one does not have to step in every

cow pie but undoubtedly will step in some. The trick is to clean up and go on, watching out for future problems.

Having worked with many, many parents, Mr. Abrams has learned that nobody can expect parents to be rational when talking about their children. Superintendents are also a lot like short-order cooks.

When flipping pancakes, there are always two sides. When talking to students, parents, teachers, or staff, superintendents have to remember that there are always two sides to a situation.

He quoted his step-father in pointing out that listening is probably the greatest skill of a superintendent. He also noted that respecting differences is very important when dealing with students, parents, and teachers of varied backgrounds.

After Mr. Abrams responded to questions

from the Deputies, Sheriff Arne Jones presented his report. He said that the Sheriff’s Office investigates approximately 60 new incidents every week and that the dispatchers receive over 1200 calls every week.

For now, the Sheriff’s Office is fully staffed, but staff turnover is a constant problem.

After the Sheriff’s re-

port, Treasurer Heidi Hubbard presented the financial report. President Jerry Thomas reminded the group that the purpose of The Deputies is to support the Sheriff’s Office in all ways possible, including dispelling rumors as well as providing funding for equipment and supplies.

Grandparents Only (Not recommended for parents and kids)

By Dotty Thorpe Evanson We are a pretty conservative household, and we just finished a 1,000-piece puzzle of book jackets illustrating classic films and iconic actors. As we were puzzling and talking, Hadley expressed her concern over the Marilyn Monroe and Bond Women jackets. She said she really wanted to preserve the puzzle and hang it on the wall but wondered what we could do about Marilyn and the Bond Girls. What do you do about those images, ideas

and philosophies that just don’t square up to your view of the way the world should be?

It got me thinking about the current political climate. I would say in our community most of us are good, common-sense people who understand we have differences.

Life isn’t just black and white, so we are willing to give our neighbors their space and honor their opinions. Marilyn’s book jacket may sit on the same shelf as Shirley Temple’s. Both have enriched the

American landscape.

So, what did we do about the puzzle? We didn’t hang it on the wall, nor did we throw it out. We talked. We talked about the parts we really liked and why we were uncomfortable with some parts. “To Kill a Mockingbird” was one of the jackets. It sparked a conversation about race, equality and Boo Radley. Talking, with respect for differences, is part of the Good Life. Enjoy your Good Life this week and respect your neighbor’s!

OBITUARY

Kerry J Williams August 1, 1963 - January 22, 2022

Kerry J Williams 58 passed away at his home on January 22, 2022. Kerry was born on August 1, 1963 in Malad, Idaho to Samuel Claude and Lucretia Jones Williams. He was the youngest of three children.

Kerry grew up in a loving home and quickly learned who was ‘The Boss’ of the house. He loved going to the ranch with his dad and driving the old blue Dodge pickup around the farm. One day he went through a wooden fence by the haystack and yelled at his dad to get the brakes fixed.

Kerry was full of mischief and along with his niece and nephews (Teresa, Troy and Todd) was always getting into trouble when they were younger.

Growing up Kerry had three favorite TV shows that he wouldn’t miss…Dukes of Hazard, Gilligan’s Island and the original Hulk. One time on a cruise he was able to go to the Island where they filmed the opening credits for Gilligan’s Island and Kerry said he was the Captain of the SS Minnow and wanted to know where Gilligan was.

He liked being around people and loved his daily stops with dad for coffee on their way home from the ranch. Later years he would go with his brother in law Lloyd and would watch the clock for 5 o’clock to come so he could run out and jump in the car to go.

Anyone who was around Kerry knew he loved to tell stories….and told them over and over. He delighted in saying that his dad called him “Public Nuisance #1” and Grandma Jones called him “The Pest”. He loved to tell everything you had done wrong over the years but never anything that he had done.

He went through many hardships through his life and tackled and endured

Kerry J Williams

each one as they came. Kerry did not like change and was very set in his ways but his heart was so big and full of love and sharing. He never complained about anything that was ever thrown at him. His body might have been very frail but there was no one stronger.

Kerry is survived by his sister Delpha and brother in law Lloyd Hubbard of Malad and brother Randy Williams of Pocatello. Nieces Teresa (Jeff) Thomas, Jamie (Tyler) Crompton, Laura Lee Ditto, Katie (JD) Shappart, Nephews Troy (Heidi) Hubbard and Todd (Brittny) Hubbard. Also 5 great nieces, 11 great nephews and 3 great-great nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister in law Kim Williams and great niece Lindsey Thomas.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, January 29, 2022 at 11:00 AM in the Horsley Funeral Home, 132 W 300 N in Malad, Idaho. Friends may call at the funeral home prior to the services for one hour. Burial will be in the Malad City Cemetery.

Pep Band Report

Malad’s pep band has been supporting the Dragon teams and athletes over the last year as they boost school spirit, bring energy to the atmosphere and entertain the crowd.

While they most often aren’t the main attraction, they too deserve the accolades of the MHS fans, Members of the pep band have their own unique season, spanning from the fall sports of football and volleyball to the winter sports of boys and girls basketball all the while preparing a variety of musical pieces for Christmas and spring concerts as well as Festival.

Throughout their season, the pep band musicians are constantly tweaking and perfecting their musical arrangements and C Y

M K

working to learn songs to keep their routines fresh and exciting.

Most recently the band has been learning “Take on Me,” a collegiate level pep song. Band teacher, Mr. Foster Garrett, shared that at first the band felt overwhelmed by such a song. They started slowly as they began to learn their various parts, and with time and practice they have been able to put all the parts together for a stellar performance.

The band is also working on “La Bamba,” “Gonna Fly Now,” and “Hand Clap.” Members of the community shared some of their favorites are “Take on Me,” “Sweet Caroline,” “We’re Not Going to Take it Anymore,” “Smoke on the

Water,” “Party in the USA,” and of course the Malad school song.

The MHS pep band consists of interested members of the high school band. Pep band isn’t required for band students but all are invited to join. Over the last few weeks, students of the 8th grade band have been invited to join in with the pep band playing at the various games. Adding the 8th grade students has given the pep band a boost in numbers and instruments. It has also provided the students moving up to high school an opportunity to get a real taste of pep band and help them be better prepared for their experience as full band members next fall.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Letter to the Editor, Idaho Enterprise

I certainly enjoy and look forward to reading local news in the Enterprise every week. After reading about the retirement party recently held for Kim and Lou Ann (I wasn't able to attend), congrats to you both.

I do not know much about what happened at the USDA Service Center FSA office, but I do firmly believe it would be a devastating blow to all Oneida County, Malad City and most important, present and future dedicated landowners, our Oneida County farmers and ranchers if the Service

The Idaho Enterprise

Center were to leave.

"We" (the farming community) all need the influence and presence of the government entities and especially local landowners and boards open and available here in Oneida County. Millions and Millions of dollars to complete conservation projects were successfully brought to Oneida County designated and administered by federal and local groups working hand in hand together to accomplish conservation project goals.

I firmly believe that if the USDA Service Center leaves Oneida County, it may never come back! And its

loss will certainly become a major problem for local landowners.

It has happened elsewhere, and it is happening in Idaho and across the country. Don't let it happen here!

In closing, landowners: please do whatever it takes to keep the USDA Service Center and the dedicated District Conservationist of the USDA - Natural Resource Conservation Service and his staff here in Oneida County.

Sincerely, Former Oneida Soil and Water Conservation District Administrative Assistant Linda J. Daniels Picard

4-H Hosts Volunteer Dinner The Oneida County Extension Office welcomed 4-H volunteers as they met together January 14, to discuss the upcoming year.

With some good discussion, good company and good treats they began to set things in motion for 2022 to be a great year for 4-H. With a new county extension agent at work, the office is hoping to use these first months of the year to get things moving along and organized to give 4-hers what they need to make the most of 2022. As they spoke with passed volunteers, they first expressed their gratitude for their work. Without volunteers giving their time to lead clubs and teach skills, 4-H wouldn’t be possible.

Over the last few years, Oneida County 4-H has begun using a new program, ZSuites, to enroll in, keep records of their projects, and submit final record books. As they continue to roll out the new program, leaders are able to use this program to complete trainings, watch their 4-Hers progress, and pass along important M K

information. Sawyer Fonnesbeck, County Educator shared, “This new program is really user friendly and will help us all keep connected with what’s happening in our clubs and on their projects.”

The Oneida County Extension Office is hoping more community members would be willing to volunteer and help lend their knowledge and experience. Volunteers can help from as little as giving instruction in an afternoon or taking on a club to lead and teach throughout the year.

Any skills used in homemaking, shooting sports, arts, STEM, entomology, fabrication, as well as raising and showing livestock and small animals would be welcomed.

Sherri Moeller said, “So many people think of 4-H being about showing animals and it's a lot more than that. If there is anything a 4-Her wants to learn about or a volunteer will teach about, we will do it!”

They are especially hopeful to find volunteers to help with the 4-H shooting sports.

With so many youth

interested in hunting, they feel that there would be so many to take part of and benefit from a shooting sports program. While it does take some additional training and certification to lead the shooting sports, the office would provide whatever means necessary to complete it.

Fonnesbeck has been putting in a lot of time and effort to help bring better resources to the county for these young learners. With the available grants available they are able to purchase a variety of kits for sewing, woodwork, leatherwork, cooking, arts and many other projects. They are also working to hire an Americorp Member to lend a hand in any service or learning for leaders and 4-Hers.

Along with getting more volunteers and more resources, the Oneida County Extension Office wants to get more kids involved in 4-H. 4-H is a great way to help kids experience new things, be a part of an organized club, and learn to set goals and accomplish them. They have orga-

THANK YOU

THANK YOU—from Afterschool Adventures EXPLORE Afterschool Adventures would like to thank the students and parents who have supported the after school program at Malad Elementary and Malad Middle School over the last five years. A huge thank you to the school administrations, Mr. Hannah, Ms. McIntyre, and school day teachers who have made this program a success. We appreciate all you have done to support, teach and help the students enrolled in our program.

Another thank you to our partner, Oneida County Library. Kathy Kent and her staff have been amazing to work with. The students love attending the library and participating in wide array of fun activities! Thank you to Kel-

ly Hill, Wendy Thomas and the bus shop for providing transportation to the students. To all community volunteers and businesses who have volunteered their time in teaching the kids in our program about their careers, talents and interests - THANK YOU!!

The current grant period will end at the end of this school year, and a new grant has been submitted to the Idaho State Department of Education. It is our hope that the grant will be awarded and the continuation of this program can continue to benefit the students in our community.

Search and Rescue Banquet The Search and Rescue members and spouses gathered at their annual banquet Thursday, January 20th, as they recognized the efforts the unit and individuals have made over the past year.

The Oneida County Search and Rescue Unit (SAR) serves to assist the Sheriff’s Office in whatever capacity is needed.

Sheriff Arnie Jones expressed his thanks to the unit and that without their work, they wouldn’t be able to help the members and visitors of this community in the ways that they need it.

To carry out the variety of potential rescues, the SAR has teams specialized in repelling, tracking and diving.

The unit also has a truck, hummer, boat, amphibious 6x6 and jet ski to use for any search and rescue needs, as well as the personal equipment that the members provide such as 4wheelers, ATVs, snowmobiles and horses.

In 2021, SAR was called out to perform search and rescue multiple times, most notably to search the West Elkhorn Canyon for a young man that became lost while out hiking to look for shed elk and deer antlers.

Rescuers were called off the search when the young man made contact with his family early the next

morning.

The night before the young man came upon a combine where he spent the night to stay warm and rest, walking to the nearest home when he awoke the next morning.

SAR members were called out several times to Pocatello Valley in 2021, including Christmas Eve, to rescue stranded drivers that had become stuck on unmaintained, closed roads. Stranded drivers following GPS on unfamiliar roads and conditions have become a common problem for the Sheriff’s Office and SAR. The SAR also assisted the Sheriff’s Office by providing security at the Oneida County Pari-Mutuel Horse Races and Fair.

Thursday’s banquet featured dinner provided by The Dude Ranch as well as entertainment by community favorite, Harry Sherman.

Each year members are awarded pins for every five years of their service. Commander Katlin Jensen presented pins to Rusty Broadus for five years of service and to Robert Ellis and Jed Ward for fifteen years of service. Carlos Ramos was awarded the Search and Rescue Member of the Year, selected by the Sheriff’s Deputy Organization for consistently going above and beyond the normal duties to serve Oneida County.

7

Carlos also won the coveted annual gun raffle.

As previously voted on by the members, the current SAR leadership was retained for the upcoming 2022 year.

Commander Katlin Jensen, First-Vice Jed Ward, and Second-Vice Aaron Maughn were sworn into office by Sheriff Arnie Jones at the conclusion of the banquet. The preceding officers were Commander Brayden Eliason, First-Vice Katlin Jensen and Second-Vice Aaron Maughn.

Over the last two years, several members, including Gary Hess and Steve and Janet Coakley have retired from the SAR, with Ken Eliason becoming a member at large, providing several openings for anyone interested in joining. The Sheriff’s Office will soon have applications available.

Commander Jensen and the SAR members express their thanks and support to the member of the community, as well as to the business that donate to their program, namely Allen Drug, Daisy Hollow, Las Fiestas, Pizza Stop, Hess Napa, KJ’s, Up the Creek, Hess Pumice, ISP, Rock Creek Crane Service, Hess Lumber, ATC, Thomas Electric, Mollie’s Cafe, and Bamma Wamma’s.

As winter draws out and keeps everyone cooped inside, the anxiety of going out to the grocery store keep you from stocking up on healthy and nourishing foods. Plan at your next grocery stop and purchase enough pantry staples to last through the winter in case of emergencies. There are plenty of options for veggies, fruit, protein, dairy, and whole grains to keep you fueled in the winter with proper amounts of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.

Here are a few ideas in each category to have on hand in your pantry during the winter: 1. Veggies & Fruits: Did you know canned, frozen, or dried produce is just as healthy as fresh? They are preserved at their peak freshness, so contain the same amounts of vitamins and minerals that fresh produce contains. Watch out for added sugar and salt. Purchase low sodium canned goods and sugar-free dehydrated fruits and veggies, and 100% fruit juices without added sugar to ensure you will get enough vitamins and minerals from produce!

2. Protein: Store your fresh cut meats in the freezer if you won’t be using them in the next week. Meat generally stays good in the freezer for 3-4 months.

Stock up on canned meats (chicken, tuna), canned or frozen beans, dehydrated soybeans, nuts, and nut butters to ensure you have plenty of high protein choices during the winter!

3. Whole Grains: Most whole grain pastas and rice can be stored. For 6 months to 1 year. Stock up on brown rice, wild rice, or whole grain pastas. You can also purchase whole grain bread and keep it in the freezer for 1-3 months.

4. Dairy: This category is the hardest to fins shelf stable items for. Most dairy products need to be refrigerated. However, you can purchase dehydrated or canned milk in the store just in case you need it! Low-fat pudding and even calcium-fortified juice can also be a great substitute for this category if needed.

Don’t wait until the next storm blows through! Prepare your pantry now so you can stay safe during these cold and frigid winter months. You can still eat healthy with shelf-stable foods!

Malad City receives donation from local resident In the January meeting of the Malad City Council, Mayor Joan Hawkins announced that the City had received a Christmas gift from a local family, the Ralph and Kola Hanson Family of $50,000. The gift was given, “As a token of our gratitude for what the community has given us. A beautiful place to Love!

Our desires are that the gift be utilized in the enhancement of the following community endeavors, amplifying its beauty! $30,000 for renovations of the Evans Co-op Building; $15,000 to the City Park for trees and supporting irrigation systems and $5,000 for restoration to the Oneida Pioneer Museum.”

The City is grateful for all who have donated to the Co-op Renovation Fund, the City Park, the Splash Pad project and the Malad

City Cemetery. Plans are that this year the bricks donated for the Splash Pad project will be laid. After these are laid, it is hoped that everyone will walk around and read the names of those that donated to this project.

A thank you has been placed in The Idaho Enterprise for all those that have donated to the Co-op Restoration Fund. This ongoing project will provide renovation to the Coop Building, which will eventually house Malad City Hall. A committee consisting of Terrill Schwartz, Dotty Evanson, Carla Williams, Gene and Kay Caldwell, Jean Thomas, Roxanne Albretsen, Mike and Danese Hess, Luke Waldron, Larry and Mary Ellen Knudsen, were instrumental in spearheading a community project to clean out the building and

start the Co-op Restoration project. Over $17,000 was raised from their efforts; and many, many residents came out to help clean up the building.

To date, the city has replaced the roof of the hardware portion of the building and the main building; repaired the foundation of the building and replaced bricks in the structure. The City has contacted Abstract Masonry Restoration in Salt Lake City for removal of paint

from the building and then repainting.

The architectural firm of Myers Anderson of Pocatello, Idaho, is currently making plans for the building to provide a representation of what the building might look like on the interior when finished.

Once these drawings are completed, the City will attempt to obtain grants to help complete renovations. The major work that needs to be completed is electrical and plumbing, which

Feb. 2022

will require contractors. After that is in place, renovations can begin on the inside.

And in the meantime, Malad City Clerk Susan Wittman has spearheaded a committee that decorates the building on a consistent basis. The City has received many compliments for the efforts of Susan, Chris Jensen, Gene and Kay Caldwell, Melanie Coleman and Candis Schow.

A former resident, the late Tom Williams and

his wife Margaret, have donated for projects at the Malad City Cemetery, the splash pad and walking path, and last year for the mural on the building owned

by Daisy Hollow. Volunteers serve on the Malad City Planning & Zoning Commission, the Cemetery Committee and the Malad City Community Foundation.

Certainly the spirit of volunteerism and giving is alive and well in Malad City!

In December 2021, the Ralph and Kola Hanson Family generously donated $30,000 to the Malad Co-op Restoration Fund through the Malad City Community Foundation. Malad City would like to thank all of those who have donated to this fund. This is an ongoing project for those interested in donating through the Malad City Community Foundation, a recognized 501(c)(3) foundation, which provides that donations are tax deductible.

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017) The Oneida County Search and Rescue held their annual meeting and banquet last Thursday evening, January 19 at the Malad Fire Station.

Special guests included Commissioner Bob Stokes and his wife, Julie; Commissioner Max Firth and his wife, Rebecca; Malad City Mayor Joan Hawkins and newly sworn in Oneida County Sheriff Arne Jones and his wife Cathie.

Recently a patron who would like to remain anonymous donated three new computers to the Oneida County Library. In addition, the library purchased another computer, making four new computers available to serve customers.

The one foot of snow dumped on Malad on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, January 21, 22 and 23, was heavy, containing 1.43 inches of water, according to the Oneida County Soil Water Conservation District. The heavy snowfall resulted in schools being closed Monday, and at press time on Tuesday, Highway 38 from Malad to Holbrook was still closed.

On Monday Idaho

State Police responded to a large number of crashes and vehicles that slid off the road on I-15 from the Bannock County/Oneida County line to Milepost 98 north of Blackfoot. Slick road conditions and low visibility in areas created difficult driving conditions.

The Lady Dragons are ready to make a statement as they begin tournament action next week in the Fifth District Girls' Basketball Tournament. This year's district team includes Kadee Christiansen, Brooklyn Green, Abby Goddard, Lizzy Clark, Kassie Love, Sadie Simpson, Brittlyn Hubbard, Naomi Corbridge, Halli Hannah, Sami Williams, Hanah Peterson, Emmah Peterson, Shawnee Simpson, Kassidy Willie and Manager Bailey Hawkes.

10 YEARS AGO (2012) First baby of the year 2012, Burklee Edwards, is home with her family as of January 13.

Not an unlucky day for this family! In fact her father, Dusty said, “She is just a miracle.”

Burklee was born early on the morning of January 10 to Dusty and Melanie Edwards. At

the time she weighed 6 pounds 4 ounces. When they brought her home she weighed 5 pounds 11 ounces and now she is up to a whopping 6 pounds.

Devin Robbins has completed the requirements to achieve the rank of Eagle in the Boy Scouts of America.

His Eagle project was building the foundation and log walls for the Osmond cabin in Samaria.

Elder Nathan Don Eliason has accepted a call to serve in the Independence Missouri Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He entered the Mission Training Center on December 28, 2011.

A new Holbrook Ward Bishopric was recently called. Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise is Lance Bird, 1st counselor; Lamont Kotter, Bishop; Tim Neal, 2nd counselor; Mike Smith, assistant ward clerk and Larry Nalder, executive secretary/ward clerk.

New Search and Rescue Officers for 2012 recited the oath of office: Commander Garry Hess, Steve Stayner, first vice commander; Neal Moon, second vice commander and David

Eliason, quartermaster and treasurer. Jedd Ward and David Eliason were recognized for their work patrolling Forest Service roads.

A pin was awarded to Sharon Hess by Sheriff Semrad for fifteen years of membership.

15 YEARS AGO (2007) Oneida County is better prepared for emergency disaster, thanks to a 2005 federal Homeland Security Grant.

The $102,000 grant made possible the purchase of two large propane-powered generators-one stationary and the other mobile.

Boyd Thomas was recently recognized by the Quarter Century Wireless Association for 50 years of service as a licensed radio operator. Thomas became interested in ham radio when he was 13 years old and growing up on the family ranch. He became a licensed ham radio operator in 1956.

During World War II, he served with the Army Signal corps, trained at Ft. Monmouth, reputed to be the best radio school in the country.

25 YEARS AGO

(1997) If all goes well, there should be ice-skating at the Malad tennis court by this weekend. There is also ice-skating at the Fair Grounds where the county has a shallow pond it fills every year.

Both facilities are free for the public to enjoy.

Fifty years ago a 50th Golden Anniversary celebration was held in Pleasantview, Idaho.

Another 50 years have passed with continuing changes. In 1986, our ward was divided with half of the ward going to the Second Ward and the other half going to the St. John Ward. We are now a community and not Pleasantview Ward, with the same people living here with many memories. We would like to share these memories with all those families who are living in Pleasantview or have lived in Pleasantview with a Centennial celebration to be held on June 14, 1997, in the “Malad City Park.”

Elwin and Charlene Jones have accepted a mission call from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to serve in the Nigeria Lagos Mission for eighteen months.

mens presidency, Brother Loyd Briggs as the stake assistant clerk, Sister Chalae Teeples as the stake music coordinator, and SIster Stacy Tripp from the stake primary board.

President Sperry asked for sustaining votes as they called Sister Lorna Perry as the stake music coordinator along with several brethren that were ordained in various offices of the priesthood. The members voted in support of the First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and all other General Authorities as well as the Malad Stake Presidency and all other stake callings. Several new stake callings were extended: to Brothers Byron Bott and Adam Carterto serve on the Stake High Council, Brother Scott Mills to serve as the stake assistant clerk, Brothers Travis Hanks as the stake young mens president, with Zack Beutler as first counselor, Von Bean as second counselor, and Tyrell Neal as secretary. President Sperry also reported that there were currently thirty-five missionaries serving proselyting, service, and senior missions from the Malad Stake.

First to speak in the conference was Brigham City temple matron Sister Steed, who expressed the importance of temple work in helping gather Israel. She said, “It is because of [Jesus Christ’s] matchless life, infinite virtue and atoning sacrifice that the incredible work of gathering can be done today on both sides of the veil.”

Sister Steed has seen the blessings of being able to gather Israel through personal experiences of doing temple work for her own family. She explained how vital all members are in the work

of uniting families and that as members attend the temple, they are invited to know Jesus Christ better.

Sister Steed shared, “Everything in the temple focuses our attention on our Lord, Jesus Christ and invites us to remember Him. Everything centers our hearts, our thoughts, our lives on Him and every blessing is made possible through Him.” President Steed, temple president of the Brigham City temple, then spoke of current challenges of attending the temple as a result of the pandemic, but as a result of the greater time and sacrifice it takes to plan, schedule and attend the temple, he has noticed a greater reverence by those entering the temple. He admits that it is hard to schedule an appointment to attend the temple, especially since they were recently directed to drop the attendance to thirty percent capacity as COVID has spread.

But he also advised members that if they were committed to attending the temple and checked often for temple openings, opportunities would come to those who were diligent. Many members have asked when temple appointments will end to which President Steed answered, “Never. Making temple appointments is here for the duration.”

Sister Kimberling of the Stake Primary Presidency was then spoke on being a disciple of Jesus Christ and staying on the covenant path. Markers of staying on the covenant path are “baptism and confirmation, repentance, partaking of the sacrament, attending and preparing for the temple and keeping God’s commandments and personal covenants as members endure to the end.”

She shared how she as well as other members

of the Malad Stake keep on the covenant path by scripture study, service, sacrificing good things for better things, and following the example of others.

The children and youth can move along and make progress on the covenant path through the new goal setting program established by the church.

“Setting goals can seem like an overwhelming thing, but parents, advisors, friends and leaders can help along the way,” she said.

Following Sister Kimberling was President Ward, who began by recounting his family’s heritage of honey bee farming what was called Golden Sunshine Honey. Through their family stories he had learned of the work of his ancestors combined with the work of the honey bees and was impressed what sweet, satisfying results can come from small committed increments of effort.

He then compared this to the efforts of the saints in the gospel and asked, “What can we do to have that sort of dedication become part of our nature?”

He advised members to have their minds and hearts dedicated to the Lord’s work by praying daily for opportunities to reach out in love and service to those around them and staying focused on looking for those opportunities.

President Ward admitted that staying focused for those occasions is a challenge. But those occasions will come as members are anxiously engaged in their marriages, families and callings.

He explained that it can seem overwhelming to take part in such monumental work, but that is the adversary attempting to weaken the efforts, the Lord through the spirit will direct the work that

needs to be done.

As he concluded, President Ward asked, “Let us unite together as honey bees of the Malad, Idaho Stake to look past our differences, depend more on each other and unite our faith in God. If we will do this, our reward will be as sweet as Golden Sunshine honey. If we are willing, Heavenly Father will use us to answer each others’ prayers through our kind words and deeds and through our simple acts of service and love.”

As President Sperry then spoke, he explained how through his work at the University he is able to share with others outside of the church his participation and experiences as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. These discussions often culminate in people asking why he would be willing to join a church that requires so much effort.

Pondering this, President Sperry realized such a question was easily answered by the quote by President Nelson as he said, “The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives. When the focus of our lives is on God’s plan of salvation, and Jesus Christ and His gospel, we can feel joy regardless of what is happening—or not happening—in our lives. Joy comes from and because of Him. He is the source of all joy. He taught us how to have joy.

When we choose Heavenly Father to be our God and when we can feel the Savior’s Atonement working in our lives, we will be filled with joy.”

Teaching from several examples of the scriptures, President Sperry taught that despite the burdens placed upon followers of Jesus Christ,

and even Christ himself, joy has always been found when they chose to submit their will to God’s.

It is all too natural to not want to submit or give in to anything but one’s own wants, will or power. But the Lord asks his saints to use their wants, will and power to accomplish his work and that by doing so, they will have great joy.

The concluding speaker, President Jensen spoke to the saints of how their study of the gospel and experiences throughout their lives will provide those spiritual gold nuggets, amassing a great wealth. So often prospectors search for the mother lode, one strike of great treasure. They pass up the small flakes only to be disappointed in never finding such a prize. But had they slowly accumulated the gold that did come their way, they never would have felt such failure.

Similarly, gaining such a spiritual treasure can only be found through the steady gathering of spiritual learning. From his own life he could see how the small moments of his mother teaching him stories of the Old Testament, the short lines of the hymns, and the enlightening phrases of the prophets have helped him gain his own treasured testimony. He taught, “The little one liners, the gems of the scriptures, make a powerful sermon that can instill upon on us a simple and pure testimony. One that can become burning, fixed, immovable and unshakable.”

President Jensen taught that gathering those smalls bits of insight and testimony by study, heeding the word of the prophet, and living righteously will bring a treasure of blessings of joy in this life and in the life to come.

Malad Idaho Stake Holds Stake Conference holy, to minister to and serve others, and encouraged to participate in the youth programs and activities. The youth need to learn to be more respectful to themselves, their bodies, parents, classmates, and to their teachers. Most importantly, the youth need to connect to the living prophet, to learn to follow his guidance and direction.

He said that parents need to take the time to teach, and not put it off for a later, more convenient time because moments slip by quickly.

They shouldn't depend on church leaders to be the primary gospel teachers for their children as they don’t have the same ability that to influence them for good as their parents.

Though the youth are facing different challenges these days, parents can still relate and help their youth navigate them, having overcome so many of their own hurdles in life.

As the meeting came to a close, President Jensen stressed, “The world will teach them the beliefs of the world if parents won't teach them the doctrine of the gospel. We can do a lot to raise them up and it will take us all.”

Sunday morning, saints of the Malad Stake gathered for the general session of the stake conference. President Sperry conducted the stake business where he announced the release of Brother Brad Horsley and Brother Lance Tripp from the High Councilor, Brother Tony McClain, Brother Olin Hannum, and Brother Braxton Davis members of the stake young C Y

tinues with the Dragons leading 26 – 21 to end the third quarter. The final quarter was tight with Rockland within one point but the Dragons held on, hit their foul shots as the time ran off the clock, and came away with a 35 – 26 win.

The night before, in Aberdeen, the JV game was a bit rough and they fell to the Tigers.

Also in Aberdeen, the C team worked hard for the entire four quarters to come away with a win. Malad was leading 5 – 2 early in the game but found themselves behind in the second quarter 17 – 13. They worked their way back to a 17 – 17 tie at half time.
