Rodeo Queens Named Young rodeo queen hopefuls gathered at the Oneida County Fairgrounds Saturday, June 11 as they competed in the county’s Rodeo Queen Contest. Contestants from ages three to eighteen participated in several events throughout the day, cheered on by their families and friends.

The morning began with the youngest groups- the Mini Miss Cowgirls (ages 5 and under) and Jr. Miss Cowgirls (ages 6 to 7). Inside the arena they each performed a pattern particular to their age group as well as a simple interview with the judges.

At the conclusion of the horsemanship patterns and interview, each of the contestants were awarded with a feed bucket of goodies, for themselves and their horses.

Following the younger division award ceremony, the Princess (ages 8 to 11), Jr. Queen (ages 12-14) and Sr. Queen (ages 15-18) contestants began their own competitions. The contestants were individually judged on three basic areas of appearance, interview, and horsemanship. They all participated in modeling, interviewing, testing and a horsemanship pattern, with each division becoming progressively harder. The Jr. Queen

Princess 3rd Attendant Paige Eliason, Princess 1st Attendant Sunni Barnes, Princess 2nd Attendant Cassidy Schrenk, and Princess Hadlee Douglas

division had an additional flag horsemanship pattern to perform.

In Couer d’alene, Idaho on Saturday, 31 members of a group called the Patriot Front, connected to several states across the west and midwest, were arrested in a Uhaul. The group reportedly had intended to stage a “flash demonstration” in military style gear for use in internet videos, and hoping to create a confrontation with authorities and attendees of a Pride event at a local city park. The group was arrested without incident, and will be charged with “conspiracy to riot,” which is a misdemeanor.

Roads into Yellowstone closed due to flooding

Unprecedented flooding, the result of rapid snow melting, have created unsafe road conditions into Yellowstone National Park.

All inbound and outbound roads to the park are closed currently, including to the small community of Gardiner, Montana, which is inaccessible. Park officials reported that the time until roads are reopened is currently unknown, though they indicated that the northern loop will likely be closed for a substantial amount of time while the damage is surveyed.

A number of roads and bridges throughout the broader Yellowstone area have been completely washed out.

Campground closed due to vandalism

The popular East Fork of Rock Creek in Power County will be closed to camping and UTVs for the indefinite future as a result of an “excess amount of human waste and trash.” UTVs are also blamed for destroying trails and wild areas in the recreation area.

The land is supported by an endowment, but money to repair it comes from state funds that are generally reserved for education.

Historical Presbyterian church to celebrate 140 years Although the history of the Presbyterian Church in Malad dates back to 1876; a church building did not exist until 1882. When the Reverend Edward M. Knox, the second minister appointed to the Malad Presbyterian Church, arrived in the village in 1882, he immediately began to build a church on Courthouse Hill. That event 140 years ago is the reason for the anniversary celebration to be held on Sunday, June 26, 2022. Everyone is invited to come to the anniversary program to hear the history of the Presbyterian Church, the Mission School, and the Church Bell and learn of their importance to Malad Valley. The program will be held twice, at 5:00 and again at 6:30 p.m. in the historic church chapel.

Memories of attend-

ing the “Little Church on the Hill” will be presented by representatives of some of the families that lived in Malad and called the Presbyterian Church their home church. The Evans, Jones, Hansen, Harrison, and Jenkins families feature prominently in the history of Malad and were faithful members of the Presbyterian Church.

All students who went to school in Malad prior to 1900 would have attended the Presbyterian Mission School because there was no public school in the 1800s.

The primary, intermediate, and grammar levels would be grades 1-8 today. Pictures of some of those ancestors as school children still hang in the church.

Ringing the Presbyterian Church bell was once not just to summon worshippers to church on Sunday. The

bell was the fire alarm and was rung to note such joyous occasions as the end of World War II and such sad events as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Ringing the bell and then running before the Sheriff could catch them are memories of a lot of Malad High School boys.

So come and celebrate the 140th anniversary of the Malad Presbyterian Church with histories, stories, and traditional songs.

Refreshments will be served by the members of the church. Parking is limited behind the church, but the courthouse parking lot will be open. Because of construction behind the courthouse, people are asked to walk in front of the courthouse and come in the front doors of the church.

Only in for a visit--local students tour the holding cells

June 16, 2022

Nature Walk at Crowther's Reservoir

Malad Elementary Happenings May has been an eventful final month of school. Many fun and exciting things happened to wrap up another momentous year at Malad Elementary.

The kindergarten went on a field trip to Logan and one to the Oneida County Library. First graders got to visit the town library, as well as Brady’s Plant Ranch in Downey. They were excited to get to bring a plant home after that experience.

Second grade went back in time to the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park in Ogden. They also got to go the Oneida County Library and get excited about their summer reading program. Their final excursion was to the LaGrande Aqua Plunge for an afternoon of swimming. Fourth grade participated in many fun activities during the month. They had chalk art day and left pictures on the concrete at the school for everyone to see. They took a nature walk to Crowther’s Reservoir and examined things with magnifying glasses. The library and the park were also included in their activities. They ended the year with a swimming party on the last day of school. Fifth grade got to get a taste of middle school by going to the Malad Middle School and experience a bit of what it will be like for them next year.

Third grade went on a field trip to Idaho State University. They also went on a walking field trip around Malad. They visited City Hall and had a mock city council meeting. They went to the courthouse and learned about the courtroom and dispatch, even getting “locked” in the holding cells. They visited the Pioneer Museum where they learned about all the cool building “treasures” of our town. Finally, Luke Waldron gave us a tour of downtown Malad, and they had the chance to go inside the CoOp building and learn about the interesting history of that building.

It was an impressive experience for the third graders, and they were so appreciative of Mrs. Melanie Coleman for arranging the whole experience and Mr. Waldron for taking time to C Y

show them a little about Malad’s history.

The entire school also participated in field day on the last Monday/ Tuesday, which was sponsored by the PTO. The teachers are very appreciative of what the PTO has done for them this year and the room parents who come to help. During field day, parents accompanied the classes for the activities so the teachers could get some of their final work done as they prepared for the last day of 2021-2022.

One last time, the staff at Malad Elementary would like to thank all those parents who were willing to help us out by waiting in the pickup line for their students this year. It did take a few extra minutes to do this, but the safety of our students is more important than waiting a few minutes. We appreciate your help and support of this effort.

We are looking forward to the same cooperation next year.

Our kindergarteners had the goal of being kind to everyone during the month of May. They made cards and posters to say thank you to those that help make our school such a wonderful place to come and learn. Every single one of the kindergarten students participated and accomplished this goal.

The first graders have been working all year to accomplish their goal of reaching proficiency in reading. Those who have accomplished this are Charlie Blackner, Aiden Chabries,

Ike Carter, Zylee Titus, Audrey Blaisdell, Zippy McCullough, Kinsley Johnson, Cora Conger, Parker Carson, Ellie Waldron, Carter Jones, Brookell Nimer, Paisley Iliff, Olivia Briscoe, Burke Brown, Orion Crewse, Camden Crowther, Paige Donnan, Evangeline Henry, Ryatt Hobbs, Jaxon Kelley, Brett Knight, Cache Lake, Piper Lewis, Anthony Purdum, Hannelore Ross, Taggart Smith, Heather Sturges, Riggins Sweeten, Grayson Tooke, Lorynn Ward, Claire Wright, Kyler Blaisdell, Jack Coleman, Dekker Davis, Hadlie Evans, Daisy Hawkes, Anthony Hofman, Blakely Horsley, Lafe Huckaby, Emma Kelly, Austin Moss, Aiden Ostrom, Carter Schofield, Shelby Sorensen, Emma Spencer, Jaylee Stoll, McCall Summers, and Wynn Werk.

The second graders finished the year by studying animal classifications. They have learned about mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians, and insects and characteristics of each class. For their goal they had to pass the animal classification test given by their teachers with 80% accuracy. Dax Beutler, Rickell Call, Troy Cottam, Franklin Fesler, Lilly Jones, Londyn Jones, Lacie Palmer, James Peterson, Saunder Poulson, Emmet Richards, Maizley Rupp, Gemmalyn Schwartz, Jace Seevers, Annika Smith, Saigelyn Cox, Avery Daniels, Dempsey Firth,

Stake Conference held over weekend The Malad Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held its semi-annual Stake Conference June 11 and 12. Elder Matthew S. Holland, a General Authority Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, presided over and attended the conference. The conference featured a leadership session and adult session Saturday afternoon and evening, as well as a youth session and the general session Sunday morning.

Saturday night’s adult session began with several testimonies from members of the stake.

Sister Jaclyn Nielsen bore testimony of how the Lord helps and strengthens individuals through trials. She recounted that through her life she has had a number of trials but chose to specifically to share some of her experiences as she has dealt with depression. Sister Nielsen shared that over the years, she has learned to rely on the Lord on those days that she feels weak and unable to bear the weight of her trial.

Brother Alex Ramos, who is celebrating one year since his baptism, told of how he developed a testimony as was introduced to the church by friends and later as he listened to the missionaries. As he chose to be baptized he remembered how he began to recognize God’s hand in his life. His faith and testimony help him now, each and every day from hard to the easy, the mundane and the extraordinary.

Sister Maggie Lund shared how she developed a testimony of trusting and relying on Heavenly Father’s plan at a young age when she developed Crohn’s disease. She realized that the plan she had for her life wasn’t necessarily what God had in mind for her, but that God’s plan was always the right way. Not long ago, Sister Lund had a desire to serve a mission when life took another path.

Her desire to spread the gospel in natural and normal ways led to the conversion of her future husband.

Brother Everett King bore his testimony and shared experiences throughout his life that have helped him develop a greater love and appreciation for the gospel, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Jesus.

President Jason Sperry, First Councilor of the Stake Presidency, next addressed the congregation as he began teaching about truth and light.

He spoke of how he has had a very personal relationship of looking for light, especially as he waited for those first sun rays to bring light into his home. He related his desire for physical light to enter his home to having a desire for Christ’s spiritual light to be in his home and that it is through our actions and choices that we can C Y

Stake conference was held over the weekend for the Malad stake

bring that light into our home.

Many have shared with President Sperry concerns for the chaotic world their children and grandchildren are being raised in and as they ask, “What is in store for them?” he answered, “They have a wonderful future. They have no reason to fear the future.

The gospel of Jesus Christ will overcome the darkness of the world.”

President Sperry quoted several general authorities as they spoke of the brightness and hope of the future, including President Monson who said, “There will be nothing in this world that can defeat us... Fear not. Be of good cheer.

The future is as bright as your faith.”

He then shared three questions that we can all ask that will help bring greater truth and light to our families, homes and lives.

1. How do parents bring up their children in light and truth?

2. What does a home filled with light and truth look like?

3. What are the truths most worth knowing in order to fill our lives with God’s light?

As President Sperry ended his talk, he addressed again the concern that so many have in teaching the youth the gospel as he read 2 Nephi 25:26, “And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.” He concluded by saying, “Brothers and sisters, we don’t have to wait for the sun to come up to have light in our homes. As you teach the gospel in your homes you will bring His light into your homes.”

The final speaker of the evening was the visiting general authority, Elder

Matthew Holland. As he began speaking to the congregation, he revisited the topic President Sperry had addressed, adding his own wisdom and experience.

He shared that as we might recognize that there is a lot of evil in the world, there is also much goodness around. Recounting an experience he had as he listened to his own father, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, speaking to a worried mother on the very same subject he said, quoting his father, “You tell those girls they live in the most exciting times in the world! His greatest miracles are ahead of us, not behind. “ As Elder Matthew Holland continued his address he pointed out that while we still find ourselves in a crumbling culture, there is opposition in all things and as we see so much evil, there is in turn so much good, good that will be manifested in a “miraculous fashion.”

Elder Holland also spoke of the responsibility each member of the church has to help gather Israel. Quoting President Russel M. Nelson, he read, “Anytime you do anything that helps anyone—on either side of the veil—take a step toward making covenants with God and receiving their essential baptismal and temple ordinances, you are helping to gather Israel. It is as simple as that.”

He pointed out that these opportunities are more than when you are discussing the gospel, bearing testimony or helping others learn from the missionaries.

These opportunities are found daily as we set an example of being kind, when giving service in our communities or even as we gather together for family prayer.

To help members be a part of gathering efforts, Elder Holland gave three words of adviceLOVE SHARE and

INVITE. He promised that as members prayerfully loved those around them, shared the gospel and its goodness in their own lives, and invited others to join them, they would see miracles happen. He said, “This is what disciples do.”

He also shared a specific way that members could help gather Israel as they focused on doing temple work for their ancestors. He encouraged everyone to add a memory to any ancestor on FamilySearch and as they did, he promised they would be directed to find their family that is looking to have their temple work completed.

Elder Holland spoke of the importance of following the prophet. He boldly said, “We have a prophet of God. Do not be mistaken about that.

He is speaking for God on the earth today.” He continued to say how Satan is working to bring doubt to the prophet’s heavenly appointed calling to the minds of many as he said, “ And of course Satan is trying to work against him and make you doubt he is a prophet.” He brought for discussion, “14 Fundamentals in Following the Prophet '' given by President Ezra Taft Benson.

Those fourteen points wereThe prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.

The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.

The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.

The prophet will never lead the Church astray.

The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.

The prophet does not have to say “Thus saith the Lord” to give us scripture.

The prophet tells us what we need to know,

not always what we want to know.

The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.

The prophet can receive revelation on any matter—temporal or spiritual The prophet may be involved in civic matters.

The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.

The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.

The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the church.

The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the first presidency—follow them and be blessed; reject them and suffer.

As he concluded his talk, Elder Holland shared his testimony that he, along with the other leaders of the church and Malad Stake, have the responsibility to share God’s message, a message of hope and of love.

The opening session the morning of Sunday, June 12, was reserved for the youth of the Malad Stake. Elder Holland, again, was the featured speaker. He began his address, by first allowing the youth to ask him any question they felt inspired to ask. Questions they asked included “What can I do to better get along with my siblings?”, “When should I get my patriarchal blessing?” and “How can I best feel the spirit in challenging times?”. Elder Holland used experiences from his own life as well as teaching of the prophet and apostles to help teach the inquiring youth.

At the conclusion of his address to the youth, he shared an important story of his life, of a challenging time for him. He shared how

his family moved and as they moved he went from being on top of everything in his lifefriends, school work, basketball- to struggling in everything that was important to him. In fact, he recalled how painful it was to be bullied by his own teammates. And in the midst of this struggling time, his mother taught him the important principle that when he would focus on the Lord, the rest of his worries would fall into place. As he tested his mothers words, he gained a testimony for the rest of his life of the importance of putting God first in his life.

Following the youth session was the final general session of the Malad Stake Conference. President David Jensen, President of the Malad Stake, was the opening speaker of the session. He recounted the phrase being “all in” that touched him as he listened to musician Jenny Oaks-Baker speak earlier this year. That phrase is a common phrase he and his family use but in a slightly different way. It is most often said when they are talking about checking their cows and being sure that they are “all in.”

He spoke of how in those instances when cows were out, they always asked themselves, where did the cows go?

And where did they get out? Usually they would find that some part of the fence was down, broken or too stretched out and the cows could simply walk out of the pasture.

He related this to life and how it's important to do those things to keep “all in” as well as to fence Satan out.

President Jensen encouraged the members to build a spiritual “fence” with wires and poles of daily family STAKE CONFERENCE On Page 6 C Y

Father’s Day

By Allison Eliason

At the very core of my experiences and memories growing up on the ranch is my dad.

Very few, if there are any, of my most favorite moments living and learning as a ranch kid don’t include my dad.

This may seem like an obvious statement as it was my dad’s full time responsibility to work and care for the land and animals. I don’t have these memories simply because my dad was always there, but because it was the way that he raised me to work, learn and love life all along the way.

I have great memories of sorting cows and bringing them in for spring breeding with my dad. I love thinking back to those long summer afternoons in the shop with the radio on as he worked to get the hay equipment back in the field. I think back to learning to drive a stick shift for the first time, putting irrigation dams throughout the fields and checking calves on those long cold nights. Every

memory, a moment that I learned from his heroic character and example as he moved through the demanding business of ranching.

From a very young age, my dad loved farming and ranching. He was one of those boys that dirt ran in his blood and all he could think about was getting out to work to farm some field, help fix some tractor or move some cows. That passion only intensified as he became a man and had his own opportunities to raise crops and cattle. There was very little my dad couldn’t do on his operation. It was like there was magic in his hands, bringing about whatever work, minimal or not, that he had to do.

That magic made me notice and pay attention to my dad’s hands when I was just a little girl. My dad is a pretty big guy, standing tall at 6’4” with broad, strong shoulders and, in turn, he also had big hands. My dad’s hands always looked a little different depending on the ranching season he

The Idaho Enterprise

was in. When we were calving, they always seemed to have a tint of green from the tattoo ink that would inevitably get all over. In the never ending season of fixing equipment in the shop, his hands were always stained with grease, despite his very best efforts to keep it from the cracks and grooves of his hands. There always seemed to be some sort of cut or bruise healing on his hands, many of them leaving permanent reminders of their injuries. His hands had a gentle roughness from the callouses that peppered every bit of those hard working fingers and palms.

Each of these blemishes and scars tells the story of his unyielding love for the work that he did and the great responsibility he carried as he worked to raise his family and be a steward of the land and animals there. In a single day those hands did a hundred different things, things requiring grit and strength to things needing the most delicate touch. Watching those

June 16, 2022

hands work and meeting each demand asked of them, taught me those valuable life lessons I needed as a young girl.

Watching those hands, I found the definition of working until the job was done and done right.

Watching those hands, I learned about sacrifice and courage. Watching those hands, I saw a hero.

Fortunately for me, my dad isn’t the only ranch dad hero in my life. As I think about the men that have helped shape me into who I am today, I see several great heroes that have become such as they, too, worked the physically demanding, mentally taxing, and emotionally tiring profession of raising cattle and crops for their families and families around the world.

I see my grandpa, who changed the trajectory of our family by taking the leap of faith to follow his dream and begin his own homestead. He turned the unworked land from overgrown brush fields to lush, productive acres. Despite hard times and backbreaking

work, he never gave up on his dream, a dream he passed onto generations.

I see my uncle that never worked without a smile on his face. His contagious optimism made any situation bearable, despite any sticky problem we were in. He was always so happy to help someone learn, taking whatever time was needed to teach.

I see my brother that patiently welcomed anyone to help work, even if their help wasn’t necessary or if they really weren’t up to the task.

He could make anyone feel needed and valued.

If ever they made a mistake, he would carefully and quietly correct them.

His way of leading has always been inspiring, bringing the best work out of anyone.

I see my own husband that doesn’t say “no” when our children want to help or try something.

In those moments when I see them as too small or in the way, he sees an opportunity for learning and adventure. I see him giving our children a place to try their own strengths and find

their own solutions even when logic would say they will make a mistake, get hurt or be altogether unsuccessful.

Ranch dad heroes are a special kind of hero.

They are men that have been shaped into the most hard working, diligent, resilient, rough and tough kind there is.

They are sharp minded, quick thinking and creatively resourceful in a pinch. They know the value of a simple handshake, the importance of integrity and the cost of great sacrifice.

These heroes may seem ordinary in their scuffed up boots, patched blue jeans and worn out cowboy hat, but these heroes are anything but ordinary. They are the best of us, working tirelessly, everyday, to make their little piece of the world a little better.

I thank every ranch dad hero out there for your uncompromising ethics, values and dreams that have shaped my life and the lives of so many others, for the better.

MHS Student Government attends Leadership Conference The Malad High School Student Government for the 2022- 2023 school year had the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming school year by attending a leadership conference at Utah State University. The conference started on June 6 and went through June 8.

The Malad High School student officers attended this conference to improve their leadership skills and to learn some fun ideas to incorporate into their school for the next school year. Students participated in classes that taught them how to be the leaders of their school and to represent their classmates the best they can.

Student officers participated in activities to increase team bonding, leadership skills, social skills, and also learn how other schools run their student councils. The theme this year was “Go Beyond.” So each activity or lesson was geared toward that theme and helped the students to “Go Beyond.”

The leadership conference also had an aspect where the students

got to participate in various activities. The schools were divided into teams to compete in games that promote school spirit and in fun activities that the students could take back and use in their own schools. Malad was a part of the Gold Team. Each member of the team needed to wear as much of their team's color as they could. They got to show off their school spirit as well. Throughout the games, each team would get a certain amount of points based on their ranking in the games. The Gold team, which Malad was a part of, won the whole thing!

The students who attended were: Mia Balappa, Brynlee Bastian, Baylor Bean, Camia Bean, Katie Coatney, Ben Corbett, Tilly Dickerson, Hallie Horsley, McCady Howard, Cambree Howe, Austin Jacobsen, Porter Kimberling, Dylan Moss, Zach Richards, Abby Rosenquist, Brady Showell, Reagan Smith, Anistyn Tovey, Journie Tovey, and Alivia Waldron.

Stake Conference held over weekend Continued from page 5

scripture study and prayer, family dinner, FHE, studying Come Follow Me, and regular temple attendance. Sharing a fencing quote of his uncle, he said that we must build our fences “horse high, build strong and pig tight.” At times the fence will be tested as Satan tries to break through or stretch the wires so we must be vigilant to check and care for any weaknesses in our fence. Using another old adage, he said, “Don’t tear down a fence before you know why it was built.”

As President Jensen concluded his remarks, he encouraged all to come to Christ, to come now and come as they are. He said, “No matter what we have done or where we are in life, He is asking us to come back to Him and be “all in.”

Sister Aleah Seamons of the Malad 2nd Ward was asked to share about her experience in primary and what she looked forward to as she will be entering the young women’s C Y

M K

program next year. Aleah listed some of the important things she had learned in years of primary, including learning the 13 Articles of Faith and stories of the prophets in the scriptures. She is most looking forward to her opportunity to go to the temple to perform baptisms for the dead.

Brother Byron Bott of the High Council had several thoughts to share with the congregation as he was next to speak in the conference.

He talked of the Armor of God and pointed out there is only one area of the body that isn’t protected by armor- the back. In an inspired thought, he commented that when we wear the full armor of God and have the courage to face our foe, we keep our vulnerable areas away from harm.

And while the back might seem unprotected, it is always well guarded by loving parents, leaders and friends.

Sister Kellianne Huckaby was then asked to speak of how we can help our families to come to know and love the Savior. She began by sharing

the importance of holding our children close and often from a very young age and as we do so, we will build that connection and bond of trust. With that connection well established, it will be easier to “quietly, lovingly and privately” teach them. She encouraged bringing music into the home to bring the spirit and teach the family the gospel. She spoke of the importance of gathering the family together at meal times to strengthen family ties and build better relationships. She also shared the blessings that can come as we study the scriptures as a family with the Come, Follow Me program “in whatever way works best!” She finally taught the importance of letting our families and children know of our own testimonies, that they will know those things that we KNOW. The concluding speaker of the Semi-Annual Malad Stake Conference was once again, Elder Matthew Holland. He shared what a delight it was to meet earlier that morning with the youth. He asked for

the parents of the Malad Stake Youth, to rise up and be leaders as he said, “These youth are living in a trying world and need you to set expectations about attending church, the word of wisdom and going on missions.”

Following the admonition of the prophet, President Nelson, he strongly encouraged the young men to choose to serve missions. He said, “We will never force anyone to serve a mission, but doing it is the right thing and the best thing you can do for your life.

I promise, in the name of the Lord, that as you choose to serve a mission, it will change your life.”

As he expressed the great spirit and joy he had felt throughout the meetings, he hoped that everyone would continue to experience that feeling when the conference had concluded. He taught that the key to such joy would always be found in following the teachings of the prophet.

Elder Holland highlighted the words President Nelson spoke in his most recent

general conference address, “Spiritual Momentum.” He reminded members to get on and stay on the covenant path and find joy in daily repentance. He spoke of coming to know God, especially to know Him as a God of miracles. Elder Holland said, “He loves you, individually and in detail and is ready and waiting to give you your miracles.”

Finally, he talked of the importance of ridding one’s life of any conflict as he said, “If you have given offense, prayerfully seek for ways to extend the olive branch. If you have been offended, don’t wait for an apology before you forgive.”

As he gave his last remarks to the Malad Stake, he shared that as they would turn to Jesus Christ, He would all their burdens light, regardless of what they might be facing.

“He came for you,” he concluded, “He came to bring you joy as you give him your weaknesses and sins so you might relish in his blessings.”

Welsh Festival Events The dream of Malad hosting its own Welsh Festival was held by many Malad residents as early as the end of World War II. Gordon Griffiths, Don Evans, and John Roderick were among those who remembered Malad Valley’s eisteddfod that ended with the advent of World War I. Many hoped that the Welsh heritage of Malad Valley once again would be preserved in an annual event. In 2005 the first Malad Valley Welsh Festival was held with the goal of celebrating Malad’s Welsh heritage. This year on June 24-26, 2022, the Festival will celebrate the 158th year of the Welsh pioneers arriving in Malad Valley.

The major purpose of the Welsh Festival is to preserve and promote Malad Valley’s Welsh heritage and family history. Through presentations on both days of the Festival, people can learn about some of the history and culture of Wales, including its heroes in a presentation by Lucie Thomas Washburn.

Anyone

who has ancestors who emigrated from Wales in the 1800s will want to attend Jill Morgan’s presentation: “A Tour of LDS Historic Sites in 19th Century Wales.”

The Family History Displays in the cultural hall of the 2nd Ward church building will include pedigree charts and census data related to 30 pioneer families that first settled Malad Valley. Volumes 1-3 of the Malad Valley Family History Books will be for sale at the Welsh Country Store.

The wagon rides along historic North Main Street and Bannock Street will bring the past to life as the guides tell about the people who used to live in the houses (or houses now gone) and stores that were the predecessors of today’s downtown businesses.

The Wangsgard wagons used to be pulled by horses, but because of the unavailability of insurance, Hess Pumice pickups are now used to pull the wagons. The wagon rides will start near the Oneida County Library.

The Oneida Pioneer Museum will be open extended hours on both days. People interested in the history of Malad Valley may stop by from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. and see scenes throughout the Museum of an earlier era in Oneida County. The Museum windows show the culture and traditions of the Welsh pioneers and tout Samaria’s “Legend of the Iron Door.” Luke Waldron will lead walking tours through downtown Malad at 5:00 and 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

The Quilt Show, sponsored by the Oneida Quilters, will be in the Co-op Building in downtown Malad.

While the pioneers may not have had the fabrics or machines to make the artistic quilts that will be on display, the skills and knowledge of pioneer quilters inspire the handicraft of today.

A bake sale will be held in conjunction with the Quilt Show.

Heritage Games, organized by the Malad Middle School MathCounts Team, will allow kids to experience the games their ances-

tors may have played while crossing the Plains to Malad Valley.

Samaria, where the Welsh pioneers first settled in Malad Valley, will host cabin tours at the Malad Valley Heritage Square. The story of the emigration of the pioneers from Wales to Malad is told through pictures and histories in one cabin. A self-guided driving tour will take visitors past the historic sites in Samaria. Kids will enjoy activities and games that their ancestors may have played, including riding Welsh ponies, petting Welsh sheep, and looking for gold.

Through the photographic “Walk Through Wales,” people can see the land from where their ancestors emigrated. Through music and poetry, the Welsh Festival keeps alive those traditions that are so important to the Welsh.

When a guest performer asked the members of the Tabernacle Choir to stand if they had Welsh ancestry, more than ¾ of the members stood.

The Malad Valley Men’s Welsh Chorus

will perform traditional Welsh songs throughout the Festival. Through Celtic music, the youth concert, the piano ensemble concert, the harp and choral concert, and youth and adult poetry readings, the Welsh Festival keeps those important traditions alive.

The anniversary of the oldest church building in Malad will be celebrated during the Festival. Tours of the 140-year-old Presbyterian Church will be on both Friday and Saturday with refreshments served. On Sunday, a special anniversary celebration will be held at the church where the histories of the Presbyterian Church, Mission School, and famous Bell will be presented as well as memories of attending the church by former members and musical numbers featuring traditional Presbyterian hymns.

The Malad Valley Welsh Festival is funded partially by grants from the Idaho Humanities Council, the Idaho Commission on the Arts, the Bistline Family Foundation,

Rocky Mountain Power Foundation and the Southeast Idaho High Country Travel Council. Admission to the Festival is free.

Grandparents Only Not recommended for parents or kids!

By Dotty Thorpe Evanson

Brett has spent the last year getting Elle’s immunizations caught up. It hasn’t been easy.

You turn the corner at Maverick and she goes into a panic. The moment she learns a shot is on the horizon negotiations start. Milkshake.

Friends over. You name it. I could understand it if Nurse Taya was anything but gentle. She, Brett and Monica have it down to a science.

Elle comes through the door, Monica distracts, Taya gets everything ready, Brett moves Elle toward the shot room as discreetly as possible, the deed is done and the howling amplifies. I’m sure they hear it at KJs and Maverick. Needles are not Elle’s friends.

Hadley has pierced ears and has been trying to get Elle to join the earring club for years.

Elle would have none of it. I reinforced the negative needle image with my tales of college ear piercings in the dorm and getting the needle stuck halfway through the lobe. Elle planned to go through life with no additional holes in her body. Then something changed. Not sure how it all came about, but for a month Elle has wanted her ears pierced.

“It is a needle they pierce your ears with.

You understand that?”

“Yes, but they use this little machine, and you don’t feel anything.”

“Oh, you’ll feel some-

thing.”

“I want to get them pierced. They pierce them for free at Claire’s.”

We went to St. George for a few days and Elle could not wait to get to Claire’s. I was sure when it got right down to it, she would pull out. Well, she didn’t.

She climbed right up in that pink chair at the ‘Piercing Station’ and sat erect and composed.

Nurse Taya wouldn’t have believed it.

I didn’t believe it. The little technician, who evidently knew what she was doing based on the number of piercings she had, lined up the dots on Elle’s ears. I’m thinking forget the dots, just go for it. She’s going to bolt any minute.

Then, the technician had Elle pick out earrings (which were not free).

The technician gets the box with the chosen earrings, looks Elle straight in the eye and says, “Are you sure these are the ones you want, because once I open the box your grandma will have to pay for it, even if you don’t get your ears pierced.” Without so much as a blink, Elle says, “Yes.” Two minutes later the deed was done. Not a tear. Not a whimper. Nothing.

After we paid our bill for the free piercing, we walked out of the store and Elle says, “It really did hurt…a lot.” Sometimes it’s a confusing, but a good life!

CITY COUNCIL MEETING 6/8 Hess Lumber Several citizens approached the council about what they felt were violations of the current usage restrictions in town by Hess Lumber.

The primary complaint was that trucks have been accessing the main city roads through residential property, which is in violation of the prior agreement. The city explained that there was not an enforcement arrangement in place to allow for citations for such actions.

The council and city attorney agreed to work on wording a specific ordinance with enforcement elements by next month’s meeting in order to allow the Sheriff’s office to begin issuing citations for violations.

Audit The city has recently had an audit completed by an outside firm, which was presented to the council for approval.

While some issues related to the city’s water usage billing were recommended for further discussion, but the audit itself was accepted.

Change-Order for Wastewater Project Mayor Joan Hawkins alerted the council to the

need for a change-order on the wastewater project underway to upgrade the city’s sewage system. A “vactor dumping pad” is needed as an emergency storage area for any sewage that is required to be relocated. That element of the project was not included in the original bid, and will require an additional $200,000 in funds to create. Mayor Hawkins reported that a new source of funds from the Army Corps of Engineers will help cover the costs.

Citizen Concerns The council received an email from a resident expressing concerns about the future of water restrictions for the summer, as well as evaporation from the splash pad.

The council expressed no plans to impose any further water restrictions until resources required any changes. Superintendent Tyler Webster explained that the splash pad is very efficient at recycling water, but also began the year with a full supply of rainwater, due to the way the water system works.

Youth Council Mayor Joan Hawkins has been building a Youth

Council as a liaison with local schools and a means of fostering leadership among the town’s youth. 10 students have been selected so far. The mayor approached the city council about sponsoring the group to attend a leadership conference, at the rate of $50/child as well as $50/chaperone.

The council approved the expense, and encouraged the development of the youth council.

Signage in town The council received a number of complaints about various signs in public areas over the last few weeks. City Attorney Dustin Smith stressed that signage was a “fine balance between free speech issues and safety and legal concerns.” He mentioned that signs cannot, for instance, be places in areas that occlude line of sight for traffic, or are posted on property without permission. As a followup to the conversation, it was noted that city Planning and Zoning regulations prohibit the placing of specifically political signs any sooner than 60 days before an election, or any later than two weeks following an elec-

tion. Signs for any other purposes can only be placed with permission.

In the case of public areas, such as roadways or poles, this permission must be granted in advance by the city itself.

Signage at locations such as parks or public buildings also requires prior permission in order to be legal.

Business License July 5 A business license for H&H Fireworks was approved for June 23 through July 5. There are no specific fire restrictions in place for this year yet, though those restrictions are at the discretion of the local fire chief.

Sheriff’s Office Sheriff Arne Jones approached the council about amending ordinance 456, which regulates the use of scooters and other low-profile vehicles. Jones asked that several other vehicle types be added to the ordinance in order to cover newer forms of transportation which have been used recently on city roads. “eBikes” and other one-wheeled devices have recently been complained about by residents for exces-

Are plankton plants or animals?

The answer is both! There are two main types of plankton: phytoplankton (fi-toe-plank-ton) and zooplankton. Follow the maze to discover which are plants and which are animals.

ZOOPLANKTON

A Breath of Fresh Air

Phytoplankton make more than half of the oxygen in our world.

Think of it this way, every time you take four breaths, two of those breaths came from oxygen made by phytoplankton through photosynthesis. So even if you live far from the ocean, you depend on it to survive!

PH = F

Ocean Food Chain

Plankton is made up of tiny, usually one-celled plants and small water animals such as larvae and eggs. Zooplankton and other small marine creatures eat phytoplankton and then become food for fish, crustaceans, and other larger species.

sive speed and unsafe driving practices. The ordinance change would require them to be regulated similar to bicycles, which means they could not be operated on sidewalks, without helmets, and against traffic laws in place.

Issues with animal injuries at the dogpound were raised again. Jones reported that at least one dog was recently injured by trying to escape the enclosure. Tyler Webster reported that he plans to reinforce and inspect the facility soon.

Ace Hardware Agreement Ace Hardware/IFA is in the process of connecting water from the city lines to their site on 300 East. Due to the length of the connection necessary, Ace is interested in signing a “connector’s agreement,” which will require the city to reimburse Ace for the extended connection by recouping a fee from future developers who link up to the eventual line.

While the agreement was generally considered reasonable, the length of time, cost, and other specifics were taken under discussion before any

decision will be made on the proposal.

Cemetery In the wake of the recent Memorial Day holiday, a concern was raised about parking. Several reports were received by the city of people parking on lawn near gravesites, which impacted the grass and surrounding area. A proposal was made to post signs advising people not to park on the grass areas of the cemetery.

Splash Pad receives benches New benches and tables are reportedly on the way for the Splash Pad, and should be in place within the next few weeks. A further discussion was held about what sort of signage should be placed at the splash pad in order to maintain it.

“No climbing, no bikes or skateboards, no pets, no glass” and other suggestions were considered. The council will finalize the list for new signs soon.

It was also noted that a range of signs around the city’s parks needed to be replaced, due to having become faded and difficult to read.

The world’s largest animal, eats up to 16 tons of plankton daily. Ten adult men together would weigh about one ton. So 16 tons of plankton would be equal to the weight of 160 men. Good thing it likes plankton and not people!

Color the spaces with odd numbers blue to reveal the animal’s name.

COUNTY COMMISSION 6/13 Gem Grant The Commission was approached about supporting a Gem Grant through the Idaho Department of Commerce for Ace Hardware. The city has already applied for a Gem grant, while the county has not. Cody Brower felt that the county would not be subject to any particular liability for supporting the grant.

The funds would be used to cover the cost of gravel and materials for the project, though Lewis was interested in receiving a letter laying out the financial obligations related to the project. Bill Lewis moved for a conditional approval, based on a letter of guarantee from IFA/Ace assuming any costs that resulted for the project.

Letter of Support EDPro Grant An amendment to the 4-CASI arrangement for the 2023 fiscal year, which includes a bonus $3000, was approved by the commission. The grant application is due on Friday, and the commission will need to prepare a new letter of support to qualify for funds.

The commissioners elected to schedule a special meeting for Friday in order to approve the letter in time for the deadline.

Neighborhood Works Mark Dahlquist from Pocatello and Clarissa Jackman from NeighborWorks approached the commission. Their services cover a 7-county area, with the slogan “serving SE Idaho”. The organization has been around for 27 years. It is chartered by NeighborWorks America, which is funded congressionally and by HUD. Its primary goals are to build, sell, and provide funding for affordable houses. It is a Community Development organization established to provide resources for high-risk borrowers to afford housing. They have a number of education programs—homebuyer education, counseling services, economic ed, mortgage mitigation, reverse mortgage counseling. When seniors get reverse mortgages, they are required to talk to a certified third party, of which NeighborWorks is a qualifying member.

The group is branching out from their original work in Bannock county. The Crisis center and a few other institutions in town have given referrals to local citizens for the group, which also helps with downpayments on homes and other elements of home buying through employee contributions through payroll

Malad

deductions. The office also maintains a “tool lending library” where various home improvement tools can be rented.

They are designated as a community lender by the US Treasury. The group discussed their small-dollar payday lending program, which will give borrowers an alternative to pay-day style loans.

The commission requested a more in-depth meeting with the organization to learn more about its programs.

Approach to lot in subdivision Julie Estep came before the commission to discuss issues related to the approach on her property. When Estep purchased the property, the approach was already in place. Since then, the county has moved to enforce a restriction on approaches on major roads.

The restriction applies to approaches that block water flow through drainage areas. Estep was interested in permission to place a culvert under the access and allow it to remain in place. Chairman Lewis explained that the approach should have been backed by an encroachment permit, though he acknowledged that the problem pre-existed Estep’s residency on the property. Cody Brower explained that the issue is that the entrance is technically illegal, and was at the time of its creation. The original subdivision was created to eliminate entrances on the county road, which have since been violated, as differing from the original PLAT. Brower stressed that the county was asking a lot of the Road and Bridge department in asking them to enforce legal encroachments, which will affect quite a few people with county road accesses.

Chairman Lewis related that the problem of illegal encroachments is widespread across the county, and creating both safety issues, as well as erosion of the road surfaces through farming to the edge of the roads.

Chairman Lewis and the commission ultimately decided that allowing an exception for an illegal approach would set a negative precedent as the Road and Bridge department works forward with attempting to regulate them uniformly.

Estep then mentioned that the culvert at the entrance to the subdivision as currently situated is not providing sufficient drainage. Dianna Dredge explained that removing several of the driveways which were in violation

of the development code would remedy the problem.

Indigent Reimbursement A former Malad resident has been placed into an assisted living center due to a medical condition. The family of the resident requested a reduction in the lien against the property, or relief in the payment. It was explained to the commission that generally a third party provider or the family fill out an application for indigent relief for transmittal to Medicaid for qualification for medical indigency. At the time, in 2004, the resident was determined to not qualify for Medicaid, but for the Indigent program. The county and the Catastrophe fund paid roughly $49K at the time.

The county would only be able to forgive 24% of the amount owed. The county’s lien forgiveness would reduce the total of the lien amount, but it would still be repaid by the home sale. The county decided to forgive 20% of the lien. The motion was approved.

Airconditioning— Dispatch Center The Sheriff reported to the commission that the airconditioner in the dispatch center is no longer functioning. The noise generated by the unit is creating audio problems for dispatchers, and not providing effective temperature control. The commission stated that they had a spare air conditioning unit for just such an emergency, and would have that unit installed in order to address the problem. The Sheriff also reported that the Communications office was also in need of some sort of cooling.

MOA with Juvenile Justice SUDS (Substance Abuse Disorder Services) funds and CBAS (Community Based Alternative Services) funds were brought before the commission. Counties mostly use these funds for sex and substance abuse treatment programs. This is generally gap money that allows juvenile probation to access money to cover programs not covered by Medicaid. The MOAs were signed by the commission. Juvenile detention also reported on the assessment center, which was recently approved in Bannock county, and of which Oneida will become a partner.

The center will provide a mechanism for providing non-incarceration options and services to juvenile offenders across several counties.

Cherry Creek subdivision road Cody Brower reported that the Cherry Creek subdivision had been approved before the newly updated Road Standards.

The issue that resulted is that the roads included in the PLAT have been dedicated to Oneida county.

The county generally doesn’t adopt roads inside subdivisions. Under the old road standards, roads could be accepted by petition, though this process wasn’t followed.

Brower explained that the roads need to be built up to county standards before they could be accepted. He stressed that not informing the developer of the county’s refusal to adopt the road might create a situation where the roads might be considered county roads by commonlaw dedication, which would make them county roads by default.

He advised that Road and Bridge draft a letter to that effect to the developer. A motion to that effect was made and approved.

Road and Bridge; holiday work Dianna Dredge spoke to the commission about holiday pay for the Juneteenth holiday. Originally, the RB dept was scheduled to assist Franklin county with chipping on the day, which would initiate holiday pay schedules for the day. However, Dredge clarified that Franklin no longer requires the assistance.

Ordinance Review The commission reviewed several ordinances, as part of an ongoing process of examining the county’s ordinances.

Two ordinances on curfew, and crimes against property were discussed.

There are plans to repeal a number of redundant or outdated ordinances by resolution. There are also a number of ordinances that will be superseded by newer ordinances. A selection of ordinances considered to fall into those categories were suggested for placement onto the next meeting’s agenda.

Forest Service; Fire Season Members of the Fire Department, Forest Service, and federal agencies involved with fire management spoke to the commission about the upcoming fire season. The recent rains were mentioned as having delayed the beginning of the fire season for this year. It is required for the Forest Service and BLM to meet with counties during the year to discuss fire management annually. The observation was made

that the way fire is managed has changed significantly over the years, from political issues to management practices.

Members of the BLM, the Forest Service, the local and regional fire districts, and the Sheriff’s office were present. Clint Bastian explaineds that “If we’d had meetings like this before the state fire in 2013, we could have alleviated some problems.”

The meeting opened with reading from the national Fire Chief’s started Letter of Intent: “these pre-season meetings are really important to get people on the same page…working with partners before and during incidents has been shown to dramatically improve results. It is my hope everyone will engage in pre-planning.”

The 20-21 fire year was reported to have been historically significant and disastrous. This year, everything that happens in fire season will be based on risk management principles. Bastian explained “we need to put our resources where we can get the most benefit with the lowest risk to our firefighters. We want firefighters to go home every single night. We manage fire, we don’t always suppress it. There are opportunities to improve the landscape for better outcomes.”

The local fire management officer, spoke to issues critical to the local level: “With larger and more widespread national fire seasons, some of our resources have been spread more thinly.”

It was explained that private drones have become a problem In other areas: “If drones are in the air, aviation from the federal and state responding agencies have to ground until the drones are cleared.”

Stakeholders in the meeting related that 95% of ground fires are caught in the first few hours, and 85% are from human causes. All parties promoted the message of responsibility and pre-emption.

Clint Bastian continued: “we know fires are year round, really. We used to think it was mostly August. Last year, after a dry winter, we had 1200 acres go up in April

and it lasted until October November. On the national scene, we’re seeing fires all year long. Like just after Christmas in Colorado last year.”

It was reported by local fire chief John Blaisdell that last year’s fire season in Oneida county was at or below average. This year, however, the season is predicted to be at or above average, as a result of lower than average spring precipitation and snowpack.

Predictive modeling suggests that fires will be moving north this season, putting Idaho into a normal average to above average year. In Eastern Idaho last year there were 104 reported fires, which was below average, and burned 8,600 acres. Nationally, however, there were over 60,000 fires, which burned 7.1 million acres and 6,000 structures. Of those, human caused were 50% higher than lightning caused.

One question raised by the group was how to determine management of specific fires. Ultimately, jurisdiction is determined by the location of the fire, with private property being the domain of the counties or cities, who then become the incident commanders. But they can join together as a unified command if mutual aid is requested.

In a mutual aid situation, there are a lot of possibilities for shared support equipment, information, and contacts with the BLM and Forest Service if needed for joint operations. Engines, helicopters, aircraft, bulldozers, and other heavy materials, as well as communications are included in the aid. Local directors are encouraged to determine to what extent life, property, and potential for spread are involved.

Each agency that requests Mutual Aid will be assisted by those requested for 24 hours. This excludes aviation support. Lands which don’t pay into the fire tax district are governed by the Sheriff’s dept as the commanding agency.

A discussion was held about the potential for an Memorandum of Understanding with Snowville to provide fire services in the west side of the valley.

Larry Thomas- The Man We’re Proud to call Dad! Larry became a dad in 1982. However, he started driving a bus for the school district a few years before that. All the bus students Larry has driven throughout the valley in his decades of bus driving have also been called his “kids”. He also had nieces and nephews born before he became a dad and he’d probably argue that he was the favorite uncle.

In 1982, Dallas LeRoy was born to Larry and Wendy. A few years later Becky was born. Mom always says Dad wanted to stop after two kids. But Wendy talked him into having a few more and pretty soon Matthew Dell was born followed by Jason Larry. Mom still felt like there was someone missing, and Elsie Ann was born. Our parents were starting to get a little older, but they surprised all the kids one day with the news Mom was pregnant. They told us not to tell anyone yet, but we being kids were pretty excited with the news and only told a few neighbors and friends. We made sure to tell them not to tell anyone either though.

It’s pretty obvious that Larry must have told a few people in the ward as well, because pretty soon there was a surprise baby shower planned for Wendy at Gloria Evan’s home.

Then, the day arrived for Wendy to have baby number six. All of us kids had been told for a few months that the doctors

said there could be risks for the baby due to Wendy’s age. We all prayed that everything would be well. During labor, problems arose, and the baby seemed to be stuck. Dad told us that as two doctors were trying to help Wendy get the baby out, he slipped into a different room and said a fervent prayer asking for help and that the baby and Wendy would be ok. Prayers were answered and soon healthy baby Houston Gerald was born.

Our dad has always been a good example to us and would often tell us, “I know you’ll make the right decision” which is exactly what he did in having all six of us.

Dallas Thomas: I remember when I was 6 years old hiking to the “M” with my dad.

As we were hiking back down Dad realized he had lost his keys off his key clip. We went back up to retrace our steps. Dad asked, “Should we say a prayer to ask Heavenly Father to help us find the keys?” I said, “Yes”. So, we each took a turn saying a prayer. As we were walking down the trail my feet landed on the keys which made a clanking sound. I remember the faith that experience created in me as a young boy about the power of praying to God and the faith that it left in me which has See LARRY THOMAS Continued On Page 10

Robert Hannah Robert had been a dad for 34 and a half years and continues to be a great example of fatherhood, as well as being a grandpa to 6 girls and 1 boy. He has loved raising his children and watching them succeed in so many ways. These are some memories and descriptions of Robert from his 4 children.

Bobby states that his dad has always invested his time in his children and grandchildren and that the whole family benefits from his constant love and support.

Bobby remembers lots of experiences throughout his life involving sports, but one funny experience that he will always laugh about is the time that he, his brother, and dad were driving home through Weston canyon. Dad could see a deer coming from a half a mile away, running towards the road. He just kept saying, "Don't do it, deer, don't do it!" Then bang! We literally hit the poop right out of that deer and destroyed the front of the van, but the deer ran off un-

harmed. It's funny to hear the boys tell about this experience and many more that they've had with their dad.

At the Hannah house, Ryan reflects, Dad has always kept us focused on what's most important in life: Faith, Family, and Dodger baseball. He is a great leader, supporter, and lives a happy life. I couldn't think of a better idol.

Happy Father's Day, pops!

Robert "Bob" with his son Bobby enjoying the outdoors.

My dad has the biggest heart. He has always treated me like I'm the most important person and deserve the best in life. My dad started cheering me on as a little girl, and it has carried on throughout my adult life. I remember being on the dance competition floor as a little girl. The gym would be silent right before the music started. Then I would hear my dad yell, "Go Heidi!" I remember feeling embarrassed, but

I am grateful my dad was there supporting me and making me feel special. Thanks for always believing in me, Dad, even when I haven't believed in myself!

You have taught me so many life lessons in the home or in the gym.

You're the best there is!

Love, Heidi

My dad always makes those around him feel loved and important.

He is thoughtful, observant, and fully aware of others' needs. I am so proud to call him my father. I have been so lucky to connect with my dad through sports growing up. He has pushed me to do and

be my best and gives my confidence to strive for my goals. As my coach, he taught me to be disciplined, mentally strong, and a team player. I love my dad, and I am so grateful to have someone who always puts his family first.

Thanks, Dad!

lasted me throughout my whole life.

My Dad taught me the value of hard work from a young boy cleaning the store, wiping down appliances and furniture, and going on deliveries. My Dad has also taught me the value of humor and being able to find humor in a lot of situations that others might not see. I’m truly grateful for my dad and I love him forever.

Happy Father’s Day Dad! Becky Cox: My dad is a GIANT to me. Not a giant heightwise or size-wise, but a giant in many ways.

He’s a spiritual giant and loves the Savior, Jesus Christ. He also has a giant sense of humor and can make anyone laugh.

I am always in awe when I am working with him at Thomas Electric at his ability to make everyone who comes through the doors laugh. He has the funniest stories and I always laugh when I’m around him.

He is a giant “people person”. At the car show a few weeks ago we sent him to go buy more of the delicious scones sold at the Hungry Heifer. After 20 minutes I looked out the windows of the store to see where Dad was.

He hadn’t even made it to the Hungry Heifer yet, but instead was talking to people along the way.

Eventually, he did make it to the line where he, of course, talked to the people in front of him. While we were walking around the car show we also lost track of Dad. He hadn’t made it very far from where I’d last seen him because he was talking.

He has a talent of talking to everyone and anyone and he loves people.

Dad is a giant popcorn and chocolate licorice lover at all the movie parties I have. He’s always awake for the movie for his bowl of popcorn and licorice, but once that’s gone, Dad is usually snoring. If Dad tells me he watched a good movie and stayed awake for the whole thing, then I know it must be good!

Dad, thanks for being a faithful walking partner in the mornings. Thank you for always being there for me! Thank you for always being a good example and someone I am trying to be like.

Matt Thomas: Some memories of my father were helping him deliver appliances all over Malad, hearing him tell stories, and such with people we were delivering to. He always tries to get to know people on a personal level. He would always tell me how we were related to them if we were. Friendship and caring for others were a quality he got from his mother Helen Thomas. He always tries to help people out if he can. I am grateful I have such a great dad who has taught me the importance of hard work, friendship, and kindness.

Jason Thomas: My father is always trying to look out for others and help out in small and simple ways. It seems like all the time when we go out to eat, my father looks out for people who might look lonely or C Y

like they are having a bad day. It doesn't matter if he knows them or not. I have seen him go and pay for their meal anonymously and leave as fast as possible to avoid getting credit because he doesn't like the attention but does it sincerely. He is always serving and helping others. He is one of the most loving and kind people I know.

Elsie Maughan: My dad is a very tender hearted, people loving person. He loves to talk and catch up with people.

So much so that you're dragging him to the car so you can leave. I may still be vying for the title of favorite daughter (we all know I’m not! haha). He loves to joke and tease.

He is a crier when he feels the spirit-one of my favorite things about him.

He loves his grandkids and loves to be involved with them. He loves to tell stories about his life.

He loves family history and being a Welshman!

I sure love him and am glad to call him my Dad! Houston Thomas: You’ll never see him mad, and he always wants to keep the peace and for people to get along. He will go outside his comfort zone to show love.

He always wants to be good and kind to people even if he doesn’t know them.

Grandpa Thomas–The Funniest and Funnest Grandpa Around!

Who wants to be Grandpa’s Boy? Who wants to be Grandpa’s Girl? Who wants to go for a jeep ride? Who wants to buy us all root beer floats? Who wants to sit on Grandpa’s lap?

These are the typical questions Larry asks his grandkids whenever they are around. Of course, the questions are answered with an exciting, “Meeeeeee!” from all the kids. He is a pretty popular guy when it comes to his 16 grandkids. He is even popular with the “grand-puppies” in the family. He always jokes that if he would have known it would be so fun to be a grandpa, he would have had grandkids first before kids. Speaking of jokes, Larry is always telling cheesy jokes he claims to have learned from Dennis Evans to the grandkids, one of them being, “Do you know what the worst three years of my life were?........Sev-

enth Grade!” Whether or not Larry actually learned the jokes from Dennis, we may never know! But! Those who know Dennis best know that he probably really does deserve all the credit!

Here’s what the grandkids had to say about Grandpa Thomas.

Kolton 16: I enjoy helping him and the jeep rides.

Abbie 13: I want my grandpa to take a moment to know how much he is appreciated. I’m more grateful to him than words can express. Grandpa always has a positive attitude and never leaves anyone out.

Grandpa is famous for his funny attitude and his jeep rides. He’s also known to say no when any grandkid asks for a sleepover. Every Grandkid knows that if they want a sleepover, they must go to grandma first. Enough about that though, I feel very blessed to have him in my life and I know he brings many blessings to the whole family. I like it when grandpa sits down and tells us stories about his past, the things that he did. Experiences with his siblings, and the things he remembers most about his past when he was younger.

Grandpa encourages the older grandkids to get on family search and record memories about our family members. “Grandpa has ears that truly listen, arms that always hold, love that's never-ending, and a heart that's made of gold.” He is a grandpa that no one can ever replace, he’s great at fixing things and listening. Grandpa loves his jeep and as soon as he sits down and buckles his seatbelt, he turns into a roaring daredevil. Many of the boys say that they're going on a short jeep ride with grandpa but come back after two hours. Grandpa treats everyone right and spoils us…only sometimes. (It's grandma's job to spoil us) Like I said, if you want something, you go straight to grandma and tell her. If you go to grandpa, he’ll say, “You get what you get and you don’t throw a fit.” Grandpa has a heart that is open to everyone. He knows how to sit down with you and give you personal advice. Another thing to know about him is that HE’S A BIG TALKER!!!

After waiting 15 minutes

trying to get out the door of a store, as soon as you go out, he sees someone else, and then someone else, soon enough, you've waited an hour in the car! Overall, my grandpa hates sleepovers, has a wonderful attitude, enjoys his grandkids company, loves his jeep, and is a big, big, talker. -Love you Grandpa :) Kelty 12: I love that he likes to make everyone laugh.

Bella 12: I love that he is always really funny with jokes.

Kennadee 11: I love his personality.

Oliver 9: What do I love about Grandpa? I can describe it in three words: He is Grandpa!

Saige 8: I like that he teases me.

Harper 6: I like that he gives me tic tacs.

Joseph 6: He let me see his drone.

McKoy 4: He gives me money when I give him hugs.

Drisco 3: I love him!

The only people that can tell Larry what to do are Elsie and Becky.

Kendrick 3: He lives in the house with nesting dolls.

John 3: His favorite thing about Grandpa is that Grandma is around when he is.

Crew 1: Likes to point at himself instead of Grandpa when Grandpa asks him, “Where’s Grandpa!?” and

likes to smell flowers in the yard with Grandpa.

Every 1: Likes him to tease her about giving him a hug but she likes to say no.

Kymber 1: Likes to watch “The Wheels on the Bus”

4-H Day Camp The Oneida County Extension Office held its annual Livestock Day Camp for the 4-H youth of the area Monday, June 14. In attendance were more than 60 4-H students that will be taking market steers, hogs and lambs to the county fair in August. The presentations of the Livestock Day Camp were tailored to help them in their animal projects over the summer.

Samatha and Cassidy Schrenk began the presentations by discussing sheep showmanship.

They taught about the various parts of showing sheep, including things like teaching lambs to lead, fitting the lambs prior to showing and how to present them during the show. Following their discussion, they gave a live demonstration of sheep showmanship.

This was a good opportunity to point out important tips for showing, such as how to hold the lamb while showing, when to stand in regards to the judge and how to set up a lamb.

Oneida County Ag Educator Sawyer Fonnesbeck gave a presentation on animal health and vaccinations and using proper injection sites and techniques when treating sick animals.

The students learned the many ways that cattle, swine and sheep can be treated when they become sick, including

Using red licorice and marshmallows, the youth created their own meat cuts that would be graded based on its marbling to learn about carcass quality

medications given with an injection.

Injections can be given subcutaneously, or under the skin, or intramuscularly, or in the muscle. Needles specific for each type of injection, help ensure that the medication is delivered to the appropriate site.

Injections should be administered in an animals’ neck and should be avoided in the rump areas.

The students practiced their newly learned techniques by injecting their syringes into a banana, noticing the difference of placing their medications just beneath the skin or into the meat of the banana.

Kord Killpack, the Bear Lake County Extension Agent, taught students about carcass

grading and what they need to do to raise their animals to provide the very best meat cuts possible. The students were taught that carcasses are graded by measuring the amount of marbling in the ribeye found between 12th and 13th rib. A carcass with a high amount of marbling is graded prime, a carcass with a fair amount of marbling is graded choice, and a carcass with little marbling is graded select.

The marbling fat, fat that makes meat tender and flavorful, is found intramuscularly and scattered amongst the muscle fibers.

Intermuscular fat, fat that is tough and chewy, is found between muscle groups and most often cut off. Marbling is primarily determined

by two things, the animals genetics and feed.

The students created their own steaks from red licorice and marshmallows to demonstrate what makes each grade of steak.

Bracken Henderson of the Franklin County Extension Office led a discussion on good sportsmanship as 4-H competitors, particularly when it comes to writing thank you notes. The students were reminded that while they were indeed selling their market animals like other producers do, there is a large portion of their earnings that individuals and businesses give to support them in their projects- the floor price (market value) vs the

4H youth learned about vaccinating their animals and the importance of using proper injection sites and techniques as their administer any medication.

They practiced their new skills by injecting bananas

actual selling price. Because of the generosity of the buyers, all 4-H youth should make time to write a respectful and sincere Thank You note.

These notes should include the 5 G’s- a Greeting, Gratitude for support, Goals for earnings, Gratefulness for generosity and an appropriate Goodbye.

Justin Hatch-Caribou County Extension Educator presented a final discussion of the importance of animal housing.

After talking over the important components of animal housing, including a shelter, feed, water and an appropriately sized pen, the students designed their own pens using toy animals, panels, bunks, and shelters. Visualizing the

placement of the various elements helped them learn important things like keeping their feed away from where the animals drink and poop and about having the right amount of space for each animal type or the number of animals.

Learning these important lessons of showing animals, giving injections, designing an appropriate housing facility, evaluating meat carcasses and having good ethics by appropriately thanking buyers will help these 4-H students to be more successful as they carry out their market animal projects over the next several months as they prepare for the Oneida County Fair.

Food Bank Offers Food Security Services

A Discussion Mary Young

with

The local food bank is a valuable community support institution which provides food to over 100 families a month.

Local Food Bank Co-ordinator Mary Young explains: “The Mobile Food Bank is nothing new, just the drive through service that was initiated in 2020 when the COVID Panic began.

I know the program existed in 1984 when my parents brought 7 kids to live with my Grandma for 5 months while they renewed their teaching certificates. I remember my Grandma cooking lima beans and macaroni and cheese from processed cheese blocks that were distributed there at that time. I also remember the half gallon jugs of honey that had a USDA label on them.

The Mobile Food Bank is one of the Programs supported by the Idaho Food Bank. Our Local Food Pantry, Carol's Pantry is a sister to it. The Idaho Food Bank sends out Mobile Pantries all over Eastern Idaho every month to assist residents in Rural areas.

Downy, Pocatello, Fort Hall, and other communities around us also have Mobiles that come once a month. Our Mobile arrives on the 2nd Thursday of each month to the Fairgrounds every month but August when the County Fair is happening. In August, we change venue to the C Y

M K

High School Student Parking Lot. Usually the distribution begins about 10:00 am and ends at 11:30, or sooner if we run out of commodities.”

Carol's Pantry is located by the Airport and distributes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 till 2:00 the 3rd and 4th weeks of the month.

Maty Young took the time to answer a few additional questions about the Food Bank: Who funds/supports the program?

The Food that comes each month is provided by Government Programs and also by Charitable Donation.

The USDA purchases food from farmers and production facilities at minimal or no cost. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints frequently donates potatoes and dairy products. Albertsons and Costco donate expired but frozen bakery items. Melaleuca has donated hams and turkeys at Thanksgiving time. Glanbia, Chobani, Cliff Bar, and Ore-Ida are other companies that donate food. Most of the canned goods gathered from Community Food Drives ends up in the Food Pantries, not the Mobiles.

Volunteers are the key to making the Food Banks work. The volunteers in the Eastern Branch equate to 7 full time employees. There are Full Time employee opportunities, but not many here in Malad.

The Mobiles are strictly distributed by vol-

unteers. I arrange for between 10 to 13 volunteers each month.

Starting in 2020, the Idaho Food Bank started "Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program" (TEFAP) in the Mobile Pantries.

Since that time, we are required to ask for household income information on our forms.

We do not discriminate on income, or any other criteria. Anyone can come and pick up an order. With a signed note from the beneficiary, we will also allow a person to pick up an order for someone else. To allow access of assistance to everyone in the community, we limit the number of orders picked up by one car to 2 orders, unless there is no line. We figure that orders can be shared if we happen to run out. The only criteria we discriminate for is State Residency.

Who is eligible?

Anyone. One order per household.

We gather names, addresses and other information about those who use the service. This is strictly used to provide demographic data. Do you have regular housing?, TEFAP eligibility, Is this your first time attending the Mobile?, and household size and age information. You have to provide this information to receive an order.

The Idaho Food Bank uses the demographic information to track the number of meals distributed with the food they supply us.

Volunteers, including Co-ordinator Mary Young, on hand to distribute food for the Food Bank

What are some reasons people might use this service?

There are so many reasons. Some just come because it's fun to see what they get. We have a lot of seniors who are on limited incomes.

There are also grandparents with custody of grandchildren, We have many large families and single parent families that appreciate a little help. We have even had some homeless individuals attend.

I have heard many voice concern recently about the rising price of gasoline and food. I am expecting that our numbers will continue to increase in the coming months.

What would you like the community to know about the program?

How can people help if they would like to?

I encourage people to attend the Mobile Food Bank if they are interested in getting help with

groceries. We may run out of food if everyone comes immediately, but get in line anyway. We will only ask for more if we can prove with numbers that we need it. The Food Bank usually sends us one or two items that outlast everything else.

Chances are, there will be something for everyone. I recommend coming before 11:00. We usually start cleaning up when the line is gone.

If you wish to volunteer, message me on Facebook.

We don't need many, I usually count on the ones who show up month after month. Occasionally, I have recruited new faces when I have figured out the night before that we are short. If we ever go back to the old way of doing things, we will need to double the staff.

Because it is summer, many of you will probably have surplus garden produce. We could distribute for you if you

bring it to us.

What do you feel is the most important impact of the program on the local community?

I think the biggest impact is that it promotes sharing; good deeds are contagious.

We don't tell people what to do with the food that is given to them in their order. I have witnessed enough order sharing on the day of Food Bank that I know the program is benefitting so many more people than we get down on our paperwork. About half the orders we see are by community members picking up for someone else, ministering to someone or a family that can't come for themselves. I think it is wonderful that they help out this way.

Everyone leaves with a smile and no one complains about the service or the prices!
