Malad Academic Team Makes the Grade Here’s a question: “What ‘s the name of the device that measures electrostatic charges?”

Here are a few others: “How many sides does an icosagon have? In Greek Mythology, what did Prometheus steal, causing him to be punished by the Gods?”

For the record, the answers are electroscope, twenty, and fire. And further, those questions were on the easier end of the ones asked at last week’s Academic Team meet between Malad, American Falls, Preston, Marsh Valley, and West Side.

The Malad High School Academic Team is in its fifth year, and in that time has seen a lot of competitive success, placing first or second in their brackets over the last three years and advancing to the Champion of Champions Rounds at the INL Science Bowl.

The recent tournament itself is not an official event. Rather it was one of a series of practice sessions designed to get the students ready to compete at the Regional Science Bowl sponsored by INL in March.

According to coach Jennie McClain, “We organize practice competitions with five schools in the area, Marsh Valley, Preston, West Side, and American Falls, so that we can be better prepared. These aren't official competitions, just kind of like scrimmages in the sports world. “

Also like a conventional sporting event, the rounds are quick, intense, and require a lot of training and performance to excel at.

During an Academic Meet, each team is given a short time to answer a question from a range of categories, including Math, Physics, Biology, Literature, Geography, Earth and Space, and so on. Whoever buzzes in first from the team provides their answer, and is awarded 10 points if the answer is correct.

The team is then given a chance to answer a bonus question for 5 points. If, on the other hand, the team misses the first question, the opponents are given a chance to answer it. For most questions, the respondent has ten second to respond with a complete answer. Questions that involve mathematical solutions allow for 20 seconds for responses.

In performance terms, the math questions tend to be the most demanding, with complex formulae-based responses required.

Each round also features a quick-answer “Lightning Round” element that lasts a minute.

The team is given that time to answer as many questions as possible.

Since the format requires the right answer to be said by any one of the team members, but no penalty for wrong answers, often the result is a cacophony of shouted answers.

During the lightning round, the

team captain has the option to say “pass” if the answer does not appear to be forthcoming. At the end of the minute, 5 points are awarded for each correct answer. Given the speed of the questions, these tend to focus more on definitions, concepts, history, literature, and general knowledge.

During this competition, many of the adult participants were disappointed to discover that the students had no idea “which western from the 1980s starred Emilio Estevez,” (Young Guns), but were impressed that they knew “which creature is said to secrete its own sunscreen?” (the Walrus).

The second full round follows the same pattern at the first. At the end of all three rounds, the team with the highest combined total is the winner.

Since the questions cover a range of topics, it is helpful for Academic Teams to have participants with a wide-ranging knowledge, as well as a quick response time. Each team is allowed, however, to have a set of “consultants,” who can be used for input during the round.

The INL Science Bowl will be March 11th this year. McClain explains, “We usually travel to Idaho Falls for this competition, but because of COVID, the National Science Bowl is requiring all regional competitions to be held through Zoom again this

year. This takes a little fun out of the competition because we don't get to go head-to-head with other teams, but we are grateful for the opportunity to still compete.”

Many events across the state and country are still in an intermediate place with regard to COVID restrictions.

Recent changes to CDC guidelines have opened

up many public events this year to a return to in-person competition.

Story and more pictures inside on Page 2

After being cancelled for two years due to COVID, the Malad Valley Welsh Festival will be held on the last weekend in June: June 24-26, 2022. This year’s Festival will feature some new events and a lot of favorites. There will be something for everyone – whether or not you are Welsh!

Each day of the Festival will begin with an Opening Ceremony, presided over by Cory Webster, the 2019 Bard of the Festival. Cory, the Haywire Ranch Cowboy Poet, has performed the duties of the Bard for three years and will preside over the Chairing of the new Bard at the conclusion of the Festival. The Knight of the Festival will lead the Bard into the Festival, somewhat reminiscent of the pageantry at the eisteddfod held annually in Wales.

Jan Crowther Myers, the 2017 Bard of the Festival, will introduce the Festival by speaking about traditional music and poetry of Wales. Other presentations will feature Lucie

Thomas Washburn, who will discuss the many heroes in Welsh history, and Jill Morgan, an historian from Wales, who will speak about the sites in Wales important to the early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Music, poetry and art have to be part of any Welsh Festival. Celtic musicians will perform on the outdoor amphitheater at Malad City Park. A harpist and vocal groups will perform on Friday evening. A youth concert and a piano ensemble concert will also be held.

Youth poets will recite their poems at the reading on Friday with winners being crowned at the conclusion of the program. Adult poets will recite their poems at the finale event of the Festival with one winner being chaired as the Festival Bard and one winner receiving the Patsy Price 16TH ANNUAL MALAD VALLEY WELSH FESTIVAL On Page 11

Malad Native Dale Ward Retires BOX ELDER COUNTY - Ellen Cook Bear River Valley News (BRVNews.com) Dale Ward, Box Elder County Chief Deputy Sheriff, knows all about change. He has seen it, he has experienced it and he has embraced it, especially during his 45 years in law enforcement.

“Change is inevitable,” he says. “And I’ve been, I feel, very accepting of change.”

Ward got his first taste of change growing up on a farm in Woodruff, Idaho, near Malad. It was his ideal life, one he hoped to continue into adulthood.

“We did crops and raised cattle,” he said. “I spent a lot of time horseback up in the Samaria Mountains rounding cows up, plowing fields, weeding fields and harvesting fields. That’s what I was going to do for a living.

Growing up on a farm is priceless. It’s a wonderful life.”

In high school, Ward was active in FFA, earned a State Farmer degree, and was District Star Farmer for the Southeast Idaho District.

By the time he graduated from Malad High School in 1974, however, running the family farm did not seem profitable.

The equipment needed replacing and the hopeful young farmer-to-be knew the money was not there to make that happen.

“So, I went to work,” he said.

He began at a local dealership working on the farm equipment he could not afford, which kept him at least tied to the lifestyle he loved. When that ended, he changed directions again and went to work in Logan with his brother repairing motorcycles and snowmobiles for a company. The two eventually bought that operation and became partners.

But in 1976, a dry winter cut hard into the fledgling business’ profits. “We worked on more motorcycles than snow-

mobiles,” he recalled. “It got to the point where we needed to start looking for jobs.”

They decided that both would hunt the job market and the first to find one would take it while the other tried to keep the repair business going. When things turned around, they would join back up.

Ward found work first.

“I picked up the local paper. They were advertising for a deputy sheriff.” He had visions of the lawmen on horseback in TV westerns he had watched as a kid, and thought, “I could be that guy.”

At 20, however, he wasn’t old enough. Not to be deterred, he put in an application, but told his interviewers that this would just be temporary because he was headed back to being a repairman. Even at that, Ward was hired, although his new boss, Oneida County Sheriff Ken Wharton told him to keep his age quiet for the next month until his 21st birthday.

“I was a local kid, I was fairly well known, my family was well known and had a good reputation, so that’s the reason he took a chance,” Ward said. “He told me in private one time that he thought it was a lot easier to keep an eye on me with me working for him than it was to chase me all over town.”

Ward said there was a little truth in that remark and going from a rowdy on Friday night to donning a uniform on Monday morning was a change that did not set well with some in his circle.

“I lost a lot of friends,” he admits. “It was tough and a lot harder than I thought it would be.”

That aside, Ward said he really enjoyed the work and was eager to learn all he could about his new profession. That quest for knowledge is something that has stuck with him throughout his law enforcement career

Dale Ward began his law enforcement career

in 1977.

“I have never passed up an opportunity to learn something new,” he said.

“Never walked away from it, never asked my people to do something I didn’t know what to do myself so the first time around I would do it myself and then pass it on.”

The deputy job became permanent when the repair business did not make a full recovery. So, in October of 1977, Ward attended the Police Academy in Pocatello for five weeks. His thought was “if I’m going to jump into this, I’m going to jump in whole hog.”

With that, his “short time gig” turned in to 45 years in uniform.

He remained with that department for eight and a half years. Another change came in 1985, when he made the move to Box Elder County as a patrol deputy under then Sheriff Bob Limb. He crossed the Idaho/Utah border with the hope of getting into investigations, an area he loves.

“I hated traffic, I hated chasing taillights, I hated traffic accidents investigations. I didn’t want to do that anymore.”

Because of the close connections between Oneida and Box Elder departments, Ward had al-

ready worked with many of the deputies here. The switch seemed natural.

“I could see the opportunity to move and get strictly into investigations and avoid all the traffic enforcement and all that kind of stuff,” he said.

He admits it was a bit of a battle to get his Utah certification without going through the Police Academy again but scoring the highest on the test they made him take, as well as moving from his hometown to Brigham City, cemented his spot with the local sheriff’s department.

Since then, he has worked under three other sheriffs, Leon Jensen (who he unsuccessfully ran against for that position twice), Lynn Yeates and current sheriff, Kevin Potter, who selected him as chief deputy sheriff in 2015, when he took office.

Although much of the time he has had his wish and been involved in the investigations end of law enforcement, Ward has also been a patrol deputy, over court security and worked with the extensive computer system, helping to set up the new operation when the jail moved from Main Street to is current location. He even had the opportunity to attend the National

Ward recently announced his retirement from Box Elder County

FBI Academy in 2000, “an experience I would do over and over again,” he stated. He has worked with Search and Rescue, the Scuba team and the Sheriff’s Posse, all volunteer groups who “a Sheriff’s Office would be lost without.”

Ward feels his choice of careers has been a great one, albeit not the one he would have chosen back on the farm. Oh, there have been challenging cases with good endings, like a Corinne kidnapping he doggedly worked on “from front to back,” until a conviction was made.

But there have also been cases that still haunt him and have yet to be solved and those cases where, he feels, “justice has never been served.”

But through it all, one thing has made his badge time memorable.

“It’s the people,” he said. “I like talking to folks. I like visiting and I can get along with most,” adding that the people here are some of the best around.

“The environment in Box Elder County is not the same as it is even in Salt Lake City. Our citizens love us. And I love the people here. They have been a great support even when I have made a perceived mistake. It is always fantastic to get a

phone call or a little card in the mail that says thank you. I am very proud of my career as a deputy sheriff.”

He said those officers coming up through the ranks would do well to remember who they work for.

“We have a reputation here of serving people really well, solving the problem. Just keep doing that. Keep what we have worked so hard to get and keep the people on your side. Treat them well because they treat you well.”

With that said Ward is ready for yet another change. On March 1, he will take off his treasured badge and ride off into the proverbial sunset with his wife, Martha, of whom he says, "I would not be where I am today without her patience, help and listening ear." The ride will take them as far as South Carolina, so the two can spend time with Martha’s 98-year-old father.

An open house in Ward’s honor will be held March 1, from 1 to 4 p.m., at the County Courthouse (Commission Chambers).

01 South Main, Brigham City. The public, who he has tirelessly served for nearly half a century, is invited to attend and wish he well in his new venture.

Malad Elementary School Celebrates 100 Days of School

Like many schools across the country, Malad Elementary observed the 100th day of school for the year last Friday (though technically the 100th day was this Monday). The 100th day is generally an event which is particularly celebrated by kindergarten classes.

The day is used to reinforce the idea of larger number counting through the use of various in-class activities that employ the use of “100s.”

Mrs. Ball’s kindergarten class was one of those participating classes this year, with students working on a number of projects throughout the morning that involved counting. In addition to creating fruit loop necklaces with 100 pieces, stacking 100 cups, stamping items with 100 stamps, some students also took the opportunity to dress up as “100 year olds.”

The day is considered to be a symbolic marker of the students’ academic C Y

milestones over the first part of the year, and is generally counted down to after the holidays.

Many of the numeracy (counting and number awareness) milestones of the state school curricula are met by the process of engaging with physical objects that reinforce the value and relationship of the numbers involved.

Some of the other activities often observed during the day include physical activities, such as 100 jumping jacks, writing activities, such as constructing a 100 word story, or craft projects, such as decorating a shirt or poster with 100 objects of various kinds.

In most states, including Idaho, the number of school days required in K-12 education is 180, which also makes the 100 day celebration a recognition of the fact that students have passed the halfway point for the year’s education requirements.

Using Everything But the Moo

By Allison Eliason

Believe it or not, cattle play a pretty vital part in your daily life. I’m not talking about their important role as they are paired with a tasty baked potato but the role they play away from the dinner table. Cattle are most often thought of as the appetizing sides of beef that they are, but because of that, many of their other important uses are overlooked. Those that are looking to put beef out of business because they are “harmful to the environment” don’t realize that ridding the menu of steaks and hamburgers also takes away the other important products they provide.

Cattle don’t just afford consumers a harty, nutritious staple to feed their families.

Aside from beef, cattle also provide important products that help make up many other kinds of staples in our homes. It may surprise you to learn that only 60% of a cow is used for consumption as beef.

Skin, bones, organs, tendons, ligaments and other tissue make up the other 40%. Rather than wasting the inedible portions, these parts are used to make important by-products that we routinely use.

Through creative and inventive means, nearly everything from the horns to the hooves of cattle can be used to make important goods, many that we use daily.

The vast list of by-products that utilize some part of the animal varies from vital things like medications to other products like make-up and perfume that are more of a luxury. Whether you realize it or not, it's likely that your day is brought to you by cattle. A quick look will show you what more we can thank cattle for.

It’s widely known that cow hides are the basis of leather products. Products such as car seats, wallets, footballs, furniture, book bindings, boots, cases, saddles, jackets, belts, baseball gloves, and purses just to name a few . Leather is strong and durable, making it a smart choice for anything you want to last.

The hide can also be used to produce sheetrock, gelatin, flavorings, gummy bears, marshmallows, adhesives and medicines.

The hair on the hide is often used for various brushes, air filters, insulation and textiles.

cants. Fat from cattle is used in creating fabric softener, chalk, cement, antifreeze and rubber.

Many hygiene and beauty products use cattle fat such as make-up, shaving cream, deodorant, mouthwash, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion and cosmetics.

Cattle fat by-products make a big bang, even in your Independence Day celebrations as they help make up explosives, fireworks and matches.

Bones, hooves and horns are used for medical necessities such as adhesive bandages, syringes, gelatin capsules and even as surgical collagen and bone grafts.

Common items such as buttons, emery boards,

ball bearings, crochet needles, dice, and photographic film are made with bone, hoof or horn.

Other surprising products include cellophane tape and wrap, phonograph records and wall paper paste are made from those cattle parts as well.

The list of by-products is lengthy, but it helps us recognize the many benefits we have from cattle aside from the nutrition they provide.

While beefy entrees are the more glamorous product of cattle, all products play a key role in daily living.

Cattle, the ranchers that raise them and those that help us make the most of them deserve our thanks and support.

After two years of cancellation due to COVID-19, the annual Evening of the Arts, hosted by the Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital Foundation, will be on Thursday, April 14, from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. at the Events Center at the Fairgrounds.

Tony McClain will be one of the artists whose work will be featured at the Evening of the Arts.

Well known for his taxidermy work on animal skulls, Tony will display several of his animal skulls. What started as a little hobby turned into a high-demand business with hundreds of customers in Wyoming, Utah, Montana and all over Idaho. He recently “retired” from taxidermy and turned his workload over to two other taxidermists in Oneida County.

Tony says he got into taxidermy “when a buddy who boiled out skulls for me got busted for not having a taxidermy license.” That was the incentive for Tony to get licensed, buy scarab C Y

LEGISLATIVE UPDATES Dear District 32 Constituents, There has been some decent progress in the House this week. Now the ball is in the Senate’s court. Will the Senate stand for the rights of Idahoans or fail us again? It is way past time for the Senate to stand for the rights of Idahoans and vote more conservatively.

On Monday the 21st, my birthday, we voted on prohibiting mask mandates in the state of Idaho, House Bill 631. The purpose of this legislation is to prohibit the state of Idaho, a political subdivision, or an officer of the state from mandating the usage of a face mask, face shield, or other face covering for the purpose of preventing or slowing the spread of a contagious or an infectious or an infectious disease, and definitions.

I spoke in favor of the bill on the floor. I made sure everyone in the room knew it was none of their business to regulate the health decisions of me and my family. As I stated this, I spoke for you, as well. I used the U.S. Constitution during my floor debate. I used the 9th Amendment, which states: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” I explained that the Constitution does not have to spell out every protected right of the people and this was one example of that, our health decisions belong to us and no one else!

I am done with our children being masked and I believe most of you can support me on this issue.

I voted yes for this bill to ban mask mandates. Rep-

Senator Mark Harris — Legislative Report for Week 7 (Feb 21 to Feb 25, 2022)

The first set of Senate Pages graduated last week. Even though they were few in numbers, 7 instead of 10, they worked hard and did all they could to keep the Senate moving along.

The Page Program is a great way for high school seniors to learn about state government and the importance of getting involved. This particular group was an outstanding bunch of young people, who were kind, smart, and very self-motivated. I wish them well in their future endeavors.

I had the opportunity to carry a couple of pharmacy related bills on the Senate Floor this last week. House Bill 445 (H445) and Senate Bill 1245 (S1245).

H445 is a bill sponsored

by Representative Megan Blanksma (LD-23) and me that repeals Idaho Code 39-1501 dealing with outdated storage requirements for biological products. Many current vaccine storage requirements are found to be in violation of Idaho Code.

These violations are fixed by repealing this old code section. This bill could be considered a technical correction bill as pharmacists use product label instructions for storing biological products. H445 has been sent to the Governor. S1245 is legislation that consolidates all seven current pharmacy statute definitions in Idaho Code into one section that fixes any previous discrepancies.

This bill was brought by the Board of Pharmacy as a needed change in Idaho statute to clear up any confusion. S1245 also adds a clarification to allow pharmacies to be included in any multistate agreements to allow patients to get their prescriptions. This bill passed the Senate unanimously and is waiting for a hearing in the House.

After what seemed to be a slow start this Legislative Session, all ten C Y

M K

Senate committees are now very busy hearing both Senate and House bills. If we hold to the deadlines that have been set, the Legislative Session is a little more than halfway over. There are still plenty of pieces of legislation in play, including appropriation bills and a bill dealing with Medicaid, Medicare, and their relationship to hospital assessments. That will be a very significant piece of legislation. Plus, there is a bill being drafted and discussed that addresses possible property tax relief by raising the sales tax by 2 cents and getting rid of the property tax exemption on homes.

The Senate is still learning about the proposal’s details.

The Senate held a memorial service this week for ten former senators who passed away during the last two years. It was very humbling to meet some of the family members that attended the service, and it was also a privilege to be with some of our former senators who attended and participated in the memorial.

Our own former-Senate President Pro Tem, Bob Geddes was there as well as the former-Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, and former-Senator and Lt. Governor, Governor Brad Little also attended, among others.

One of the special highlights of this week was the privilege I had to meet with several 4-H kids from Bear Lake County who came to Boise to learn about state government and participate in 4-H’s “Know Your Government” annual meeting.

They were a great group of kids. They were curious, well-mannered, and fun to be around. They represented the best of 4-H, their community, and their family, and all while learning a lot and having a good time doing it!

resentative Gibbs voted against it. The bill passed the House 46-24. Let’s hope the Senate State Affairs Committee hears it and passes it. Senator Harris is on that committee, please encourage his support.

House Bill 631 passed the House with a 39-29 vote. I voted in favor of it, Representative Gibbs voted against it. This legislation ensures the individual rights of employees to not be discriminated against in the work force because of their vaccination status regarding COVID-19 or any other emergency use authorized vaccine. Many of us House members met in September 2021 to attempt to address issue.

Not enough legislators showed up in order to get a quorum to conduct business. In November, the House passed a similar bill. However, the Senate

State Affairs Committee killed it. We have passed it again. Now it heads back over to the Senate State Affairs Committee, please tell Senator Harris you support it. If it does pass, it will be much too late, but better now than not at all.

The Senate has produced a good bill, Senate Bill 1262. I did co-sponsor this bill when it came to the House. This bill seeks to place limitations on firearms restrictions by state and municipal agencies during disaster emergency declarations.

Simply stated, during such declarations, this bill prohibits state and municipal agencies from: -Seizing privately owned firearms, ammunition or their components that are lawfully possessed; -suspending or revoking a license to carry con-

cealed weapons, or refuse to accept and process an application, except as permitted by law; -shutting down firearm-related businesses and ranges, by classifying these as “essential businesses.”

On Thursday February 24th, I flew to Orlando to attend CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) that is put on annually by the American Conservative Union.

Every year they have invited me to attend and accept my Conservative Excellence Award in person. In the past, I have not wished to attend because that meant I would miss important business during legislative session. This year the calendar looked clear enough to go and I activated one of my substitutes, Ray Hubbard of Holbrook in Oneida County. Ray is a patriot

and a constitutionalist, much like me. He was sworn in by the Speaker of the House and will act on our behalf for 3 days.

I told the ACU officials that I would be attending this year, and they said they would be honored to have the highest scoring Idahoan attend the conference. Apparently, my lifetime score with them is the highest of any Idaho legislator, current or past. I had not been aware of that. I am honored to attain that for our district. I look forward to seeing and hearing Governor Ron DeSantis and President Donald Trump during the conference.

I hope you and your families have a blessed week, Representative Chad Christensen

PCPs are responsible for electing the County Party leadership which consists of a Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, State Committee Man and Woman and State Youth Committee Person. PCPs also recommend and nominate people to fill vacancies that occur in county elected offices. They are the grassroots base of the Republican Party who keep in touch with their Republican neighbors, identify potential Republican voters and maintain and update a database of Republican voters. They play a critical role in selecting

and electing Republican candidates for a wide range of positions from the local school board to US Congress.

PCPs also participate in fundraising activities.

Lincoln Day Fundraiser and Meet and Greet For the first time in many years, the Oneida Republican Central Committee is excited to announce a Lincoln Day Fundraiser and Meet and Greet Your Candidates. The public is invited to this event which will be held Thursday, April 7, 2022 at the County Fairgrounds Event Center. We are expecting more than 20 local, statewide and national candidates to be in attendance. The Meet and Greet will begin at 5:30 so the public can mingle with, and ask questions of the candidates.

During the dinner hour, some of the state candidates will address the audience. The silent auction will feature some great items to bid on. After dinner, the candidates will once again be available to visit with the public.

Grandparents Only

Not recommended for parents and kids

By Dotty Thorpe Evanson Did you know there are 16 baby dragons roaming around our county? Artist Tim Little had a fascination with our community mascot, and when Luke Waldron’s Malad Middle School geography class asked Tim to design some small dragons, he was all in.

I knew some of the dragons were completed before Tim unexpectedly passed away in 2018. I knew the plan was to get them out in the community. What I didn’t know, is Payton Briggs got the job done. So, where are these little reptiles?

Granddaughter Hadley loves to sleuth. She reads Nancy Drew and if anything mysterious comes up, she is all about figuring it out. What could be better than hunting dragons? You may have some detectives of your own who would like to join this hunt. Here are the clues for finding the baby dragons: 1. We DO IT BEST! 2. A bit of history: Originally, I was known as the R.T. Owens Mer-

cantile Co. 3. Cool old relics found here.

4. Idaho’s oldest department store.

5. Splish, splash. I was once a dance hall.

6. Need a good book?

We’ve got you covered.

7. No gold here, but we put on a good act.

8. We honor and advocate patriotism and continue our devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.

9. Laid to rest in this peaceful setting. (Pleasantview) 10. Waddle on in for some cold drinks and great treats. (Samaria) 11.mI had a lot of sheep in my days. (Samaria) 12. Croeso i’r Sqwar Treftadaeth. (Samaria) What an opportunity to get our own “baby dragons” learning about their community! Our family is going to try taking some selfies with the infant creations in the background.

Hope to cross paths with other dragon hunters as we begin our crusade. It’s a Good Life when there are dragons around!

had been planned much earlier in their season, such as the National Science Bowl, are retaining their original scheduling. The in-person interaction of the Academic Team competition does create an interesting, dynamic atmosphere that is less easily replicated in a virtual communication space. Still, the team has had experience in this environment, and should be ready as always.

The format works like a standard tournament.

As McClain explains, “The competition starts out with schools divided into brackets based on school size.

This will be our fifth year competing at the INL science bowl. The first year we learned a lot, but didn't have many wins. The second year

we took 2nd in our bracket, the third year we took 1st, and then last year we took second again. The top two teams in each bracket advance to the Champion of Champions round, which includes all schools. We usually do really well against the other 2A schools, but have a harder time competing against the larger schools. The winner of the regional competition goes to the national science bowl competition, all expenses paid by INL.” The team itself is formulated to compete in similar events. Regionally, the INL Science Bowl is the largest event, but there are a number of other venues in which academic teams compete. College Quiz Bowl is probably the most well-known of these. “We are always looking for other places

for the team to compete, but the science bowl is the only big competition in our area. Last year we were able to compete through Zoom at a National Quiz Bowl competition and this year we also participated in a competition sponsored by the Mathematical Association of American,” McClain says.

The Academic Team works like Varsity and JV in other sports, with an A and B team. This year, the teams are as follows: A Team: Samuel Pickett, Joshua Pickett, Curtis Huckaby, Madelyn Shaw, Savana Young, Jaxom Whipple B Team (like JV): Winona Young, Alex Christensen, Joe Willie, Addler Garrett, MaClaren Garrett, Sarina Whipple, Sara Rogers, Micah Butler

Because of flooding conditions in Oneida County, three roads have been closed indefinitely to road traffic: 5800 West, the back road to Samaria and the Woodfruff road to Portage. Many roads have shoulder damage and gravel has been washed away resulting in unstable roadways, and so drivers are warned to slow down and drive carefully on county roadways.

Commissioners warn that as spring progresses and the snow pack continues to melt, they anticipate additional damage and washouts, and so there will be no repairs on secondary roads until flooding danger passes.

In November, Glenn Clark was assigned as Malad's newest temporary postmaster until the end of December. It is now official. Clark has been appointed and sworn in as the permanent postmaster for Malad Idaho!

Originally from Illinois, Clark was lucky enough to marry an Idaho girl and wound up in Pocatello. The last two years, he has been a supervisor in the Pocatello office and was then assigned as temporary postmaster for Malad. After fulfilling the temporary position and being interviewed for the permanent position, he was happy to be appointed permanently.

ANNIVERSARY Happy 60th Anniversary to Byron and Ruth Marshall of Malad City, Idaho.

Byron and Ruth were married on March 3,1962. It was a cold, snowy, beautiful day.

They were married at Gilead Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Byron and Ruth met in high school their sophomore year. Byron was in the school's gun club and Ruth joined the club just to get to know him even though she had no knowledge or experience with guns. Ruth was the only girl in the club.

Ruth told her girlfriends, "I'm going to marry him one day", and that's exactly what she did. Ruth said Byron would come in one door of the school and out the back and if it weren't for her helping with his homework, he may never have graduated. In their early days of dating, Byron and Ruth would ride the bus from West High to Woolworth's to visit his mother at work. Then they would grab a coke and ride the bus to Ruth's house and Byron would often walk home from there. Byron's parents did not want him to get married until he was at least as old as they were when they married, so the day he turned nineteen he informed his parents he was getting married. A couple months later they were married.

Ruth tells the family stories of the very simple apartment they had in the avenues of Salt Lake City. They agreed to buy a set of encyclopedias from a door-todoor salesman that they couldn't really afford, and Byron's dad was so mad at the salesman for

She was preceded in death by her husband Lloyd, 1 brother and 2 sisters. Per Shirley’s wishes, there will be no services held. The family taking advantage of the young couple he called the company and demanded that they tear up the contract and return their money. From then on, Byron and Ruth had an agreement to never buy anything on a whim, always sleep on it first. They had many agreements together that made them very successful as a couple and in life together. They have always been so respectful and loving to each other and their family.

A year after their wedding they welcomed their first-born baby boy into the world, Byron Guy (Lori). Julie was born three years later, Holly (Dean) three years after that and the surprise baby, Michael (Sarah), one year later.

Byron and Ruth bought their first house in Salt Lake City around the corner from Ruth's parents and later moved to South Jordan where they raised their family and lived there for 25 years. They moved to Malad in 1995 and have

made many wonderful memories with their family and many local friends.

Byron and Ruth have their four children, two daughters-in-law and a son-in-saw, 14 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren and one on the way.

Byron and Ruth have spent their years fishing, hunting, riding their atv with friends and family and just about anything outdoors. They've made their home and yard beautiful and continue to take so much pride in it.

Their family loves to get together at their home for the holidays, celebrations or just whenever possible. You couldn't find a family with more love and respect in it.

Byron and Ruth have made a big, beautiful family who love them very much. We cherish every moment and every story with them.

Happy 60th Anniversary to our beautiful, loving parents!

COUNTY COMMISSION MEETING 2/28 Solid Waste Exemption Request Steve Atkinson is requesting a refund for fees levied against a second waste container.

The property has only had a single can since that time, though the prior owner of the property did. Atkinson is asking for a refund for the tax year 2021. The Treasurer’s office advises residents to pay attention to their assessments from the county to catch any carried over special fees in order to avoid such things in the future. The Commission motioned to credit the value of the fees from the 2021 year for $60, and $156 for a total of $216 to the petitioner.

Tax Exemption The Assessor brought a Tax Exemption request to the commission. The issue of trailers left on property after sales was discussed. Oftentimes, trailers are left on property after a land sale, without a concomitant transfer of title for any mobile home or trailer assets that remain.

Trailers are classified as “personal property” rather than “real property” because they can be moved. As a result they require a title, like a vehicle. If a trailer is left on a property after a property sale, it is taxed under a mobile home designation on the tax rolls. One resident who recently purchased a property with a mobile home on it, which was subsequently dismantled by the buyer, was inadvertently charged taxes for the mobile home on the lot for 2021. The Commission recognized that the charge was the result of a clerical error and moved to refund the taxes paid on the lot for the mobile home.

Sheriff Sheriff Arne jones presented a new bid from Teton Wireless for a radio setup for the Sheriff’s Office. The bid is for a console system for dispatch, as well as digital repeaters for $94,339.53. The digital radios (15) for vehicles were bid at $41,725.88.

The combined total would be $136,064.

The search for a new, updated radio system to replace the current system has been a running subject of discussion with the county. The Sheriff has frequently mentioned the problematicperformance of the radio system which is currently in place. The Sheriff projected a need for 15 radios, for use by the fulltime staff as well as reserves, and a few extra units for emergency needs.

Commission Eliason asked about the warranty and life expectancy of the system. The Sheriff reported that the first year’s maintenance and support would be included, and afterward the cost would be minimal. The maintenance on the repeaters to support the system would be covered as part of the purchase. Teton is also willing to install a repeater in the Daniels area to help support the system. An earlier bid C Y

M K

had been presented for $380,000, and included the newest digital infrastructure (700 system).

The Teton bid is for a standard digital system, and is similar to the one used by Bear Lake County at present. According to Jones, a 700 system does not work as well in mountainous areas. Franklin County uses a similar Teton Wireless system, as does Jefferson County and Madison County. Jones suggests that the system, which is specifically built for Law Enforcement needs, should be highly functional for up to twenty to twenty-five years.

The current UHF and VHF radios will need to be maintained as well, until the Fire Department and EMS are also switched over to digital signals. While the Commission felt that approving this system was a high priority, Chairman Lewis suggested that he would like to research any buy-back potential for the current system before finalizing a purchase. The item was placed on the agenda for the next meeting.

Quit Claim Deed Balazs Boundary Line In an arrangement with the county, the James and Amber Balazs property with an overlapping interest in a county right of way was exchanged for a quick claim deed with the county to abutting, non-roadway property.

A motion was made to accept the quit claim deeds on the property, and passed.

TV Translator Board Term of Service Commissioner Christophersen outlined the new terms of service for the TV Translator Board.

Harry Sherman will serve a 3 year term, Mike Asay a 3 year term, Doyle Waldron a 2 year term, Larry Nalder a 2 year term, and Randy Thomas a 1 year term. As required by the official bylaws of the Board, members must attend regular meetings throughout the year. In order to keep a clear rotation and governorship of members, the terms of service are staggered to allow for easier replacement. The term arrangements were moved and seconded by the Commission.

Fair Board Ken Moss, Jr. and the members of the Fair Board met with the Commission to report on Board activity for the upcoming year. This year, the Commission is trying to meet in an ongoing manner with the various county boards and departments under its purview.

Pat Werk discussed the two main projects this year, the arena and the pig barn, which needs painting and a new roof. The arena project involves taking out the roping box and adding a return alley on the north side of the arena, as well as moving some things around to avoid putting a return alley on the track.

The Board is hoping to make the structure a little more permanent so that it lasts 20-30 years.

Concerns were raised about the orientation of the change, which would potentially have contestants facing the sun. It was noted that the direction is a contingent on time of day, as all contestants will be roping into the sun at some time of day. The Board expressed frustration with having to put up a return alley every time. It was noted that “the biggest asset [the board sees] is for the rodeo events.

The crowd will really be able to see a lot better than they can now.”

This should help make it easier for all the volunteers to help out with the rodeo. The Board also has new “arrow pens” to make it a lot easier to load animals for rodeo events.

Discussion of the road to the Event center, and how it needs to be graveled to avoid mud on the road in and out of the FG. Lewis suggested some kind of committee to look into developing the area between the Event Center and the road.

Everyone in attendance agreed that some sort of improvement needed to be made with the area.

Some money has been acquired for landscaping the area on the exterior of the Center, but Lewis felt that a specific plan was necessary to create a unified vision of the improvement project.

Involving all the stakeholders for the FG and EC, including the FB, Road and Bridge, Gun Club, County Commission, and others was discussed.

Lewis suggested that first step was to first organize a committee to discuss what the vision for the future of the Fairgrounds would be. “We need a group of citizens involved,” he said. Ken Moss suggested that when the Fair Board meets this week, it will discuss the level of involvement it is able to commit to the project.

Ambulance Report Oneida County EMS reported on the Ambulance Board. The most recent EMS dedicated grant has been fulfilled for $28K, which provided 36 new digital radios for EMTs on call. Lewis asked about the next 1 and 5 year plans. The possibility of a new rescue truck was discussed.

The grant is due in May, awarded in July, and made available in October.

A used vehicle under the grant should be purchasable out of the budget, supported by the grant, for around $30K. A vehicle with fire suppression and other updated capabilities was desired. The dedicated EMS SAVE grant itself comes from the state of Idaho. FEMA funds were also discussed as possibilities, though the application burden was noted as a negative factor.

Out of the ARPA request, County EMS requested 4 Automatic CPR devices, and a powered pure air respirator, though it stated that 2 CPR devices would be sufficient. One would be located on the first-

out ambulance, and one in Holbrook.

A potential 5 year plan includes expanding education for EMS staff, including the current Advance Class. 84 more calls (448) were reported last year than the year before. A driver and two EMTs, with one of them holding an Advanced certification are necessary to staff the shifts.

Building Inspector Mick Udy approached the Commission about some items for the Inspectors Office, including a new, more commercial grade vacuum, water supplies, and a refrigerator. The current vacuum for the Annex building is old and potentially in need of replacement.

The Commission agreed that a good vacuum for the building was an important necessity, and should be looked into. Some discussion of a vacuum similar to the type used at the courthouse was had. Lon Colton said he would look into the purchase. The Commission passed a motion to authorize Colton to purchase a vacuum for the Annex.

Udy also suggested that the fridge in the building, used to store is currently to store pigs for dissection by the Extension Office, was not suitable for other uses.

As a result, the building itself could use a new refrigerator. Chairman Lewis said he would look into the pig issue and report back.

Mick Udy inquired about a longer term maintenance plan for the Annex building, which he suggested had a number of items that needed to be fixed or replaced, including siding, blinds, and other things. Chairman Lewis asked Udy to begin taking an inventory of what things need to be addressed in order to create a schedule for working on the annex building, as well as other buildings throughout the county. Chairman Lewis felt that budget funds did exist for some repairs, and an examination should begin sooner rather than later.

New Canyon Road Diana Dredge approached the Commission with an update on the New Canyon Road situation.

The Road and Bridge crew has installed 2 new 30mph signs and 4 more cautionary signs around the curves. 2 flashing lights have been added to the caution signs on the eastern portion of the road.

The school district bus driver coordinator has been contacted about stopping the school bus farther to the south in order to eliminate confusion at the bus stop itself. Dredge explained that she has focused on safety for children at the bus stop as a priority.

Commissioner Christophersen was going to contact landowners with claims to the bus stop area easements about whether they might be willing to sell. Max Tavoian spoke to the Commission about some ideas for addressing

some of the road concerns. He expressed the opinion that the safety issues on the road were primarily the result of unsafe driving practices, rather than the road itself. During the last Commission meeting, the Sheriff indicated that the road would be more frequently patrolled for speed violations, though he was not available during the discussion for an update on the matter.

Dredge suggested that she would like to have the county engineer provide an opinion on the road, speed designations, and other considerations before making any major decisions.

Holiday Pay The issue of holiday pay compensation for county employees was clarified, with a change that allows for holiday pay on holidays at time and a half. Employees who are asked to work on scheduled holidays for emergency purposes will be compensated in those cases. The policy of the county, however, will be that no holidays will be scheduled under non-emergency circumstances.

The idea on the part of the Commission is to streamline and simplify the holiday pay process. The decision was made to prioritize the actual holiday days for time and half, while the observed holiday, when different, would not fall under the time and a half compensation.

This policy will go into effect on October 1, for next year’s budget. The change will primarily affect the Road and Bridge Department and the Sheriff’s Office, whose emergency scheduling can’t be predicted.

Drafts of the policy have been sent out to various county departments for examination.

Credit Card Policy The Commission reached out to neighboring counties about their policies regarding departmental credit cards. Bear Lake’s policies were singled out

by Chairman Lewis as instructive for this purpose.

Idawy was cited as an entity that had benefitted from rebates as a result of credit card purchases.

The primary issue with regard to the potential use of cards throughout the county was the issue of oversight. The authorization process for multiple cards in simultaneous use presents some administrative problems. However, the ease of transactions and portability of the card system also constitute considerable advantages. The need to set up preventative measures for assuring transaction integrity was that as a concern which would be better regulated from the beginning, rather than after any problems had occurred.

Cody Brower has had some experience in the past, specifically in Bingham County, investigating the misuse of county authorized credit cards, and suggested that it indeed is something to be proactive about pre-

venting at the level of constructing the policy.

The Commission decided to examine the policies from surrounding counties, and Attorney Brower’s input, before formulating a final policy.

Juvenile Detention Budget In the past, Oneida County was set up as a 4% owner of the Juvenile Detention Center, which equates to half a bed. This works on a capacity-based level, with each county paying for its own usage, with a guaranteed number of spaces reserved by ownership. The county has paid from $21K-30K/yr in the past. The detention facility is currently working on a policy to charge counties for a ten year average percentage of use, plus a base fee, yet to be determined.

On average, the county has used a quarter of a bed per year. This means that the allotted bed space has been occupied only 25% of the time. Chairman Lewis expressed his belief that due to the probation department here in Oneida county, as well as efforts on the part of the prosecutor and judges, that the number of juveniles who end up being remanded to the detention facility is extremely low. Lawful custodians are generally sought as an alternative to the detention system. Cody Brower spoke to the commitment of local officials to seek out alternative mitigation strategies for juveniles who enter into the justice system.

ITD Cooperative Agreement for Devils Creek Landslide Mitigation ITD is working on mitigating the effects of last year’s mudslide at the Devil Creek reservoir area. The project involves the construction of culverts to manage water.

Erosion near the county road, freeway, and other areas near the slide area has the potential to create problems in the future. Attorney Brower had some questions about the agreement, which was lacking some specific language he felt should be added. The Commission decided to add language to the agreement which included a requirement for the county’s Road and Bridge Department to approve the construction beforehand, through the form of an encroachment permit; and require the state to restore any property damaged during the construction.

Fairground Road Possible solutions to the Fairgrounds entrance road were discussed with Diana Dredge. Recent muddy conditions have been exacerbated by the increased use the Fairground entrance has seen as a result of the Event Center. Long term, the project will be a large undertaking. In the meantime, however, some discussion of building a more solid road base by supplementing the ground with gravel as may be possible.

WRESTLING AT STATE

2022 Dragons named academic champions 2A, with a cumulative GPA of 3.530

The MHS Dragon wrestling team hit the mats in their final tournament of the 2021-2022 season as they wrestled in the State Wrestling Tournament at the Holt Arena in Pocatello, February 25 and 26. Of the eleven Malad athletes wrestling, six medaled in their various weights, earning the team the 4th Place finish in the tournament, finishing just one point behind third place.

With such a relatively young team, having only six upperclassmen, it was unclear what kind of season the team would have. But as the season progressed, the wrestlers proved that they were willing to put in the effort and commitment to fight for every win and demonstrated that their efforts would take them

places.

At the State Tournament, senior Austin Nalder faced off against the three-time state champion from New Plymouth in an insanely brutal match in the final round for the 152 pound weight bracket.

The match went into triple overtime, the “ride or die'' round where the wrestler beginning on top must stay on top to win the round. Relying on his strength, skill and stamina, Austin ultimately pulled out the win with a score of 2-1, defeating the reigning champion. Austin had faced this opponent throughout the season, giving him valuable experience for this last matchup where he pulled off the upset of the tournament. Austin has taken second place

in his previous two state appearances.

Billy Maddox, also a MHS senior, brought home the first place win for the 195 weight bracket after a dominting show at the state tournament. Billy wrestled a combined total of 5 minutes and 30 seconds throughout his matches, pinning his opponent so quickly in each match.

In fact, he nearly beat the state record with his 9 second pin in the first round of the tournament. Billy won his last face off with a final pin against Firth. Billy has wrestled for Malad for 2 years and was an Idaho State runner up last year.

Also earning medals for the Dragons were Zach Mills in the 113 pound weight bracket and Ruxton Tubbs in the 145 pound weight class

WRESTLING FOR MALAD WERE 98lbs Freshman - Carter Blaisdell 106lbs Junior - Trevor Mills 113lbs Junior - Zach Mills 138lbs Junior - Kole Willie 145lbs Junior - Ruxton Tubbs 152lbs Senior - Austin Nalder

for third place, Kole Willie in the 138 pound weight division for fifth place and Trevor Mills in the 106 pound weight division for sixth place.

When asked about this final tournament, coaches said, “All of the kids wrestled hard. The state tournament is what we work for all year. We are so proud of this team” In addition to their achievements on the mat, the Malad wrestling team was recognized for their scholastic achievements as they became

160lbs Sophomore - Blaiz Wright 170lbs Sophomore - Dylan Moss 182lbs Sophomore- Caleb Mathews 195lbs Senior - Billy Maddox 220lbs Senior - Matt Jacaway

the Idaho 2A Academic State Championship team with a cumulative GPA of 3.530. Coach Devin Morrison shared, “These kids work hard both on and off the mat.

Keeping their grades up while participating in sports, working part time jobs and keeping up with their busy lives isn’t always easy but they put in that effort and do an amazing job. As coaches we know that school and grades is their number one priority and we are so proud of them for this

accomplishment.”

“We are so proud of this team. They have worked hard this entire season and done extremely well. Every tournament they have improved and become stronger. We are grateful for the amazing wrestling family that showed up to support us this year, it means so much to these kids. Malad wrestling is as strong as ever and looking forward to an exciting future.”
