NEWS IN BRIEF Crop sowing down significantly in Ukraine
Due to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, crop planting has been severely affected. The average grain harvest from Ukraine is listed at roughly 85 million tons. This year, the yield is expected to be closer to 45 million tons. Corn and sunflowers are the crops hardest hit by the reduction in sowing. The shortfall will not only affect local food supplies, but also have outward ripple effects on the broader economic situation across Europe and beyond.

Janice Goddard named Honored Pioneer for 2022 Janice Goddard has been named the Honored Pioneer for the 4th of July celebration by the Malad City Council. She will be recognized during the annual Fourth of July parade on Monday July 4th, 2022. Janice Ardelle Williams Goddard was born November 5, 1936, the daughter of Bland and Ardelle Evans Williams. She is the oldest and only daughter of three children. Her brothers are J.D. (Dennis) Williams and Dan (Wink) Williams. Her father was a cattle buyer, and her mother was a homemaker. Janice lived in a log house in Gwenford (suburb of Samaria) from birth to school age. This log cabin is now located on the road at Ralph Hanson’s property in Deep Creek. Growing up Janice’s Dad taught her to drive a 2-ton and a tractor to help in the wild hay. Her days were spent hanging out with Peggy Smith and the Waldron girls. They enjoyed

riding horses and bicycles. Janice attended Malad Elementary, Malad Jr. High and graduated from Malad High School in 1954. In high school, Janice played trumpet in the band and was Song Leader. Janice’s three daughters took after her and were also cheerleaders in high school. Some of Janice’s friends in high school were Nancy Davis, Isabel Davis, Mary Jane Jenkins, Diana Scott,
Chloe Price and Anna Leigh Reed. During high school, Janice started dating her future husband, Richard Goddard. They were in the same class, and she thought Richard was nice looking, ambitious, and loving. They fell for each other their senior year and continued dating after graduation. Janice attended Steven’s Henagar Business College for one year and Richard
joined the Navy in 1955. Richard and Janice were married May 6, 1957, in Bellingham, Washington where Richard was stationed in the Navy. Janice stayed in Washington with him; and Debbie, their oldest daughter, was born in Oak Harbor, Washington. Janice and Debbie lived in JANICE GODDARD On Page 2
Economic Effects of Inflation felt in Malad Hess Pumice lays off 34 employees due to housing slowdown; State issue tax rebates One of the county’s most visible employers, Hess Pumice, has been forced to lay off a number of employees from its Hess Lightweight division, which primarily handles the production of “wet cement” products for use in home construction. Due to the current economic conditions, which include substantially rising inflation and a marked slowdown in orders for new homes and construction, Creative Mines has had to reduce its workforce in Tooele, Mexico, and Malad. Mike Hess, owner of
Hess Pumice, expressed his hope that “we hope we’ll be back to normal soon, but it’s hard to know what will happen in this economy without a crystal ball.” The total number of employees affected was stated as 34, which constitutes 15% of the total workforce of around 220 across all divisions. A majority of the jobs involved were staffed by individuals from Oneida County. As has been reported over the last several months, inflation is approaching a 40 year high, with consumer costs rising at a rate significantly outpacing wage
Hess Pumice recently laid off 34 employees due to a slowing housing market
growth. While employment is still at generally high levels, it has been softening since the Federal Reserve began increasing the benchmark interest rate
over the last two months. The interest rate increase has been historic, leading to a 1.75% present rate, ECONOMIC EFFECTS On Page 8

Iconic floating restaurant sinks in Hong Kong
The 260-foot long, three-story floating restaurant named “Jumbo Kingdom” sank while being towed by tugboats out into the South China Sea. The restaurant has been a popular destination docked on the southwest side of the city’s harbor district for over 50 years. According to salvage operators, the structure sank to a depth of 3,280 feet, which is making recovery of materials from the restaurant difficult. The restaurant was featured in multiple films and TV shows over the years, including Bruce Lee’s “Enter the Dragon” and the Bond film “Man with the Golden Gun”.
Pay raise authorized for federal firefighters
As the fire season begins in earnest across the country, President Biden has signed off on a raise for federal firefighters over the next two years, which affects approximately 16,000 workers. The raise comes from funds designated for firefighting in last year’s infrastructure bill, and will apply to all federal firefighters. Recruitment and retention have been difficult for federal workers, which are often paid significantly less than municipal and county firefighters. This year is anticipated to be an especially dangerous and severe fire season across the west.
Yellowstone to open earlier than previously expected
Federal highway funds have been used to speed the recovery of Yellowstone’s roads and bridges after last week’s massive flooding. The park expects to be able to reopen the main gates as early as Wednesday of this week. Some of the smaller roads and connections to Montana communities will remained closed until repairs can be completed later in the summer. The middle summer months are traditionally the busiest and most highly trafficked of the year, though some restrictions on the number of visitors may be necessary as the repair work goes on.
Young boy dies in hot car in Houston
A 5 year old from Houston died after being left in a vehicle for several hours over the weekend. The story is typical of a problem that occurs every summer across the U.S., but especially across areas with sustained high temperatures. The child is the fifth to die of vehicle-related heat effects this year. On an average year, 38 children die in such a manner. Officials remind everyone that children should never be left in vehicles unattended in any weather, but drivers should be especially vigilant in summer heat.

Janice Goddard named Honored Pioneer for 2022 Continued from front page
Washington until Richard was stationed to Japan and later Bermuda. That is when Janice and Debbie moved home to Malad. When Richard got out of the Navy in 1960, they lived in Malad and St. John. Susan was born in 1961 and Denise followed in 1963. When the lease of the Williams’ family ranch was up, Janice and Richard moved to the white ranch house on the farm in Gwenford in 1967. There were many Sunday drives around the Malad Valley to look at farms and then to the Drive-In for a frosty. The Goddard’s were on a 5-party telephone line with the Rex and Marie Waldron family, Platt and Phyliss Price family, Arthur and Peggy Smith family and Lew Waldron. With all those teenagers it was always a challenge to use the phone. Janice started working at Ren’s Chevrolet in 1969. She was only going to work for six weeks while Edith Williams was out on medical leave. Six weeks turned into 27 years. Janice thoroughly enjoyed her years at Ren’s Chev. September was always fun when the new model of vehicles arrived. In 1994 Richard and Janice sold the ranch and moved in town to Malad. They had fun years traveling with each other and finishing the basement in the new house. In the fall of 1999, Richard was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died within a few short months on December 1, 1999. After this Janice spent her time watching her grandsons and caring for her mother. In 2016 Janice’s family took her to Hawaii to celebrate her 80th birthday. Janice was a very active member of the Trail’s End Cowbells organization and served a term as President and attended the Idaho Cattleman Association annual meeting. For many years she oversaw the saddle drawing during the Oneida County Rodeo. Bowling is a big part of Janice’s life. Janice started bowling in 1960 and continued until October 2018 when she suffered a stroke. Janice bowled on the Wednesday Midnight League and later with the Tuesday Pinpoppers and bowled for Ren’s Chev and later Malad Drive-In. Janice served as secretary of the league from 1981 to 2018. On May 14, 2001, Janice was inducted into the Cecil John Bowling

Hall of Fame with her friend and fellow teammate Betty Kay Gardner. They reminisced about state tournaments in their early bowling years, noting they often bowled in dresses and took along fancy party dresses to change into after bowling. Janice bowled in nine national bowling tournaments with lifelong friends, Fran Williams, Betty Kay Gardner, Peggy Smith, Gaylene Willie, Carol Anna Jones, Sheila Clark, Shelia Hawkins, Mary Ann Tracy, Saundra Hubbard, Twylla Price, and Nannette Shaw. Janice’s interests have been gardening, ceramics and toll painting. Janice was very skilled at knitting. She knitted many sweaters. She was especially proud of a red coat and a Hereford Bull sweater. Decorating for Christmas is also a joy for Janice. Her home was on the Christmas Parade of Homes and she also won the Christmas lighting contest with help of her grandsons, JP and Justin.
In October 2018, Janice suffered a stroke paralyzing the left side of her body. Her years of independence came to an end, but she has a whole new community of friends and people who love her. She is currently residing at Maple Springs Assisted Living Center in Brigham City, Utah. She enjoys bingo and ceramics. For her 85th birthday she gave all her grandchildren a ceramic she had painted. Janice’s greatest joy is her family. Janice’s children are Craig and Debbie Thompson, John (deceased) and Susan Wittman, and Bob and Denise Hansen. Janice is Granny to eleven grandchildren: Kim, Melissa, Melanie, Shaun, Tammy, Stefanie, Rob, Rich, Ryan, J.P. and Justin. She also has twenty great-grandchildren. Janice says she loves Malad and is honored to be chosen as this year’s Honored Pioneer.

Cattle Drive Courtesy
3
The Idaho Enterprise
By Allison Eliason Before the interstate highways crisscrossed the country and before the railroad centers dotted the western territories, cowboys would drive their herds consisting of thousands of cows over hundreds of miles for days on end to reach the stockyards where they would finally sell and ship their cattle. Those cattle drives are an iconic part of the history of the west, and while cattle drives of that same nature and size don’t happen today, cowboys can still be found driving their herds across the range or even your rural back roads. The old cattle drives featured a myriad of challenges, including cattle thieves, natural disasters, stampedes, and treacherous river crossings, just to name a few. While not nearly so intense and potentially devastating, modern day cowboys face their own brand of obstacles as they move their herds along. One obstacle that their forebears likely never imagined would cross the path of a cattle drive is the rural traffic of busy cars and trucks in a hurry to get to where they’re going. The rural traffic jam that happens when cars meet cows can be simple and easy, but also frustrating and lengthy. Like any traffic congestion, there are a few rules of courtesy that will make going a little easier and just might make this country road tie-up a little fun. Here are a handful of cattle drive courtesy tips for when you come across
Courtesy on the roads on all parts is essential for smooth cattle driving
Driving cattle through the canyon
a herd moving down the road this summer. If you find yourself coming up behind a cattle drive, you don’t have to worry about trailing the herd until you part ways. Just go ahead and drive up through the cattle. You may be wary that the cattle won’t move, but they will. You may need to wind your way across the road, taking advantage of the open spaces on both sides of the road. If you feel uneasy about going through by yourself, a rider can help take you through the cows. Keep up close to the cowboy or those cows will get between you and the rider and you will be back to being stuck behind the herd. Just remember, so long as you keep moving ahead, the cows will move out of the way. If you find yourself coming head on to a cattle drive, do your best to
slowly meander your way against the cattle. I say “slowly” because it's important to recognize that if you are going too fast, you might turn the cattle around and cause a lot of unnecessary chaos for yourself and the riders moving the cattle. Once again, taking advantage of the open spaces and following the cues from the cowboys will help you get through the herd in the quickest ways. As you move through the herd, in whichever direction you are moving, remember to be patient. You aren’t going to save anytime if you try to bust your way through the cattle. Your efforts to speed up will be fleeting and followed by some swift stomping on your breaks. (The other option being running into the cows...) Yes, you may need to be somewhat aggressive to keep moving ahead, but
even then, be patient with the cattle and the cowboys that are doing their very best to keep everyone on the move. Despite any good intentions, you should never, in any circumstances, honk your horn. If you want to catch the attention of riders, roll your window down and have a quick conversation. If you want the cattle to move out of the way, just keep rolling forward. Even if you think that it will help move the herd along, honking your horn might cause more harm than good as it could scatter the cattle, push calves through the fences or make them turn back. We try to keep things as calm and easy as we can as we move down the road and adding a honking horn to the mix certainly won’t aid in either of those pursuits. Unfortunately, there
Construction closes 1500 S The ongoing wastewater treatment project undertaken by the city to update its system will result in 1500 S remaining closed other than to some local traffic where it intersects Old Highway 191. Engineers are boring under the railroad tracks and county highway in order to take the pipeline from the lift station at the location of the old lagoons up to the new lagoons farther east. City Superintendent Tyler Webster believes that the project should not take much more than a week. “After the boring, and the line is in, we’ll seal it and then asphalt it.” After the initial boring is done, 1500 S will be reopened, though it will be closed again later in order to be sealed and asphalted. It is hoped that Old Highway 191 will not need to be closed.

the cowboys and cowgirls moving the cattle. Some may be well experienced in taking the herd down the road and sharing it with the rural traffic, but others are still young and learning. You are of value too and we want to be sure that we all safely enjoy the drive down the road. These few tips of cattle drive courtesy will help you not only navigate the roaming herds that will share your roadways over the next few months, but actually help make it a much less stressful situation for you and the cowboys behind the drive. In fact, coming across a cattle drive is a great opportunity for you to soak up the heritage that this great west was built on. Take the chance to pause, snap a picture or two and tip your hat to the great cattlemen and women that work to feed this great country.

may be times that you will simply have to wait for the cattle drive before you can be on your way. In times where the cattle are moving into a gate or turning off the road, driving into the herd might just cut off the cows from making that turn or heading through the gate. In those cases where you can see that they aren’t just moving down the road, pause before you go on to make sure you don’t botch things. Usually there will be a cowboy there to turn the cattle and can help you to know whether you can stay or go. We understand your time is precious, but that’s not the only thing of value on the road that day. Our cattle are at the center of our livelihood and without their health and safety, we really have little to show at the end of the day. Of even greater value than the cattle are

Turnout was high at a packed Summer Reading program opening day
June 23, 2022
Library staff and volunteers on hand to register kids for the Reading Program
Summer Reading kicks off at library The library recently began its annual summer reading program, which encourages kids to keep their reading skills sharp over the long break from school. The program has been extremely popular over the years, bringing in hundreds of kids to the weekly activities and working hard for their end of summer awards. Over 200 kids were reported to have signed up for the program as of its first week. This summer, the reading program is all about Monster’s University. The theme is “When you read you succeed.” Continued reading has been shown to have a significantly high correlation with academic, and even eventual financial success for all age groups but especially those of primary school age. Summer is also often a time when academic habits, most notably reading, problem solving, and communication tend to decline. The program not only allows kids the chance to engage with reading in a number of ways, but also to socialize with peers in a fun outdoor environment.
Kids ages 0-11 meet at 12:30 p.m .every Tuesday in the Malad City Park, and the teen group meets Tuesdays 1:00 p.m. at the park pavilion. This week and next week will feature a demonstration by the ISU Science/ Physics department, which is designed to encourage continued education in STEM subjects over the summer. Library director Kathy Kent explains, “through a grant from Future Fund East, through the Idaho Community Foundation, we are giving each participant a book every week on the genre we are spotlighting. Elizabeth Kent is giving the background and interesting facts about the genres we are presenting and then we are having an activity. It’s been a lot of fun and we love giving the books away.” Kids of all ages are invited to attend the free program for fun and a great way to spend some time learning over the summer. The Summer Reading program will run every Tuesday until the Summer Reading Party on
July 12 when the library will hand out the prizes for the program. For adults who are interested in their own ongoing education throughout the summer, the library will also continue hosting its adult education classes at 6:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month. This Thursday, June 22, is the next “After Hours” Adult Class. Sherrie Thomas and Jeni Sperry will be explaining to those interested how to plan a money-saving, fun vacation to Disney World or Disney Land. The “After Hours” series has provided a number of classes this year on various subjects, from InstantPot and Air Fryer cooking, to the Folklore of Ireland, to Zero-scaping and gardening. The program aims to provide practical and interesting topics for adults interesting in expanding their horizons. July 26 will feature members of the Oneida Quilters Guild discussing and demonstrating quilting.
"We Succeed Because We Read" is this year's Reading Program theme

REPUBLICAN RAP
Committeepersons Elect New Officers and Delegates A full house of interested citizens attended the May 26 Oneida Central Committee Reorganization/Delegate Selection meeting at the library, where the newly elected Precinct Committepersons, who were voted in by the public in the May primary elections elected new officers. They also called state delegates who will have voting power at the Idaho Republican Convention to be held July 14-16 in Twin Falls. Robert’s Rules of Order were followed at the meeting. Prior to the election process, Incumbent Chair Larry
Oja reviewed the reorganization meeting rules, which were established by the Idaho Republican Party. County Clerk Lon Colton and private citizen Steve Werk were voting tabulators. The five Precinct Committeepersons were presented with Certificates of Election, enabling them to carry out the duties of nominating and voting for the new officers and delegates. The Precinct Committeepersons are: Precinct 1—Dave Colton, Precinct 2—Tony Allen, Precinct 3—Paula Romrell, Precinct 4—
Bryan Kerr, Precinct 5—vacant, Precinct 6— Hunter Hubbard. Prior to nominations being opened for each new position, the main duties of that office were publicly reviewed, after which the Chair asked for those from the audience who were interested in running for that position. Each interested person was nominated, and the nomination was seconded by the Precinct chairs. After nominations were closed, each nominee was given two minutes to introduce themselves and state why they desired the
position. Voting was carried out by secret ballot by the Precinct Chairpersons, except in the uncontested races. New officers elected were Larry Oja, Chairman; Travis Whipple, 1st Vice-Chairman; Jane Ann Ward, Secretary; Karen Kerr, Treasurer; Jonathan Hayes, State Youth Committeeman; Ray Hubbard, State Committeeman; Brandi Hubbard, State Committeewoman. Several citizens filled out 2022 State Convention Delegate pledge forms declaring their interest in serving as delegates or alternates
at the State Convention. Serving as delegates will be: 1st delegate Andee Parry, 2nd delegate Gary Parry, 3rd delegate and Chairman of delegation Jonathan Hayes, 4th delegate Tom Jenkins, and 5th delegate Trevor Robbins. Alternates voted in were 1st alternate Catie FEsler, 2nd alternate Travis Whipple, 3rd alternate Robyn Gamble, 4th alternate Ronnie Gamble, and 5th alternate Ray Hubbard. Any registered Republican who is interested in being appointed to the vacant position of Precinct 5 Committeep-
erson (Stone area) is welcome to notify Larry Oja at 208-317-4963 and to attend the Republican Central Committee meeting. The meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month (except in August and December) at the library. Starting in May, summer meetings begin at 8:00 p.m. and, starting in October, winter meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. Reminders of meeting dates and times are posted in the Community Calendar of the Idaho Enterprise and also on the Oneida Republican website.
SCHOOL BOARD
The monthly meeting of the Oneida School Board was held on June 14, 2022, with all members present. A dinner for all District retirees was held prior to the meeting. Early graduation was a major topic of discussion as it is anticipated that more students will meet the requirements for graduating from high school in less than four years because of online and other options available for earning credits and completing classes. Students have to apply a year before they wish to graduate. Three students from the Idaho Home Learning Academy (IHLA) were approved for early graduation in 2023 if they meet all gradua-
tion requirements. Superintendent Jon Abrams reported that the School District is in a sound financial position, making several facilities improvements possible. The lockers on the Hall of Fame wall in Malad High School will be replaced with a new trophy case. Painting is going on in the high school. The dividing wall in the weight room will be removed, making it one large room that will be easier to supervise. The high school bathrooms have been gutted and will be completely remodeled before school starts in August. More complete privacy walls will be built around the stalls and urinals. New carpet and paint will
improve Stone School. The new softball and baseball fields are not going to be built this year because of the need for more lead time. The Supplemental Levy passed 60% 40% (a simple majority is required to pass this levy). Its success may be used to guide future bond elections. The Malad High School 2021 Baseball Team won the “Spirit of Sport” Award because of the compassion the team members showed last year when they held a fundraiser for a family of a Soda Springs baseball player whose mother died. The award will be made in Boise in August, and Mr. Abrams will try to
get as many of the 2021 team there as possible. The Board discussed the demolition of the old high school, which will cost between $200,000 and $250,000, resulting in the project having to go out to bid. While it would be nice to have the project completed in the summer, it will depend on the bids. On June 28, a work session about the financing of a new elementary school and demolition of the old high school will be held at 5:00 p.m. with a special session at 6:00 p.m. on the school district budget for next year. The Board approved the salary schedule for classified staff, administrator salaries and IHLA salaries for 2022-
2023. It also approved the disbursement of State leadership money to qualified teachers. The superintendent will discuss which teachers will get the leadership funds with the building principals. This is the last year for the leadership money from the State. The Malad Middle School, Malad Elementary School and IHLA High School handbooks were approved. Action on the Malad High School handbook was tabled. Stone School uses the same handbook as Malad Elementary School. The contract with R&R Driving School was renewed. This arrangement with R&R nets the District some
revenues; this year the funds will be used to buy a new football field scoreboard. The Board approved alternate routes to content specialist certification for Jill Daniels as she pursues her special education administration certification, which requires her to complete principalship certification. Alternate routes to content specialist certification were approved for Brinn Chipman Bagley, who will be teaching at Malad Elementary School next year, and Jarek Crossley, who will be teaching at Malad High School next year. Five IHLA teachers and a support staff member were approved as personnel.
It’s no surprise that farmers and ranchers rely heavily on their local weather forecast for their livelihood. From preparing their cattle for the cold winter nights to finishing the planting before the spring storms roll in to waiting to cut hay for the summer showers pass, knowing how the weather is going to shape up impacts how producers plan their work from day to day. There’s all sorts of running jokes about weatherman accuracy, like “the only weather prediction a meteorologist in Idaho can get right is the wind” or that “a weatherman is the only guy that can be wrong all the time and still keep his job.” While it may seem that meteorologists’ predictions are wrong more often than not, the truth is that weather science is constantly becoming more and more accurate. But despite any forecasting or forewarning, some of Mother Nature’s weather whiplash can be devastating to farmers and ranchers. The most recent weather phenomenon to wreak havoc on the cattle industry was found in Kansas over the weekend of June 10 as sudden rain showers, thunderstorms and
abnormal heat waves settled in over the state led to thousands of feeder cattle dying due to the stress caused by the extreme weather conditions. The context of this hardship, like all tragedies, is highly significant in understanding how such an extreme outcome could have happened. Kansas is home to more than 2.4 million head of cattle, most found in feedlots throughout the state. These feedlots feed out cattle brought in from various states around the country. Despite their varying breeds, the cattle do well in the Midwestern state. The “fat” cattle are those that are finished and ready to be harvested. They are very heavy, carrying thousands of pounds of muscle and fat, making it harder to regulate their body temperature. The Kansas climate is generally very favorable for cattle as it is usually windy, with low humidity, factors that play a key role in keeping cattle cool. Over the last eight months it has had especially low humidity as there has been well below average rainfall. June in Kansas normally averages temperature at a comfortable upper 70s. Clearly, a great cli-
mate for cattle. In the first week of June, Kansas, particularly southwestern Kansas, had a series of storms roll through and with it, several inches of rain. A large, high pressure system followed the rain storms, bringing extremely high temperatures for Kansas and more than 70% of the nation. These extreme weather changes proved to be the “perfect storm” for the Kansas feedlots. Neither the heat or rain are unfavorable to cattle. Cows can do quite well in areas of heat or humidity given that they have time to acclimate to their climate. But with the jump in both humidity and heat, the feeder cattle had no time to adjust and became extremely stressed. In addition to the humidity and extreme heat, the area also experienced little wind, which helps cattle cool in hot temperatures. The heat stress continued to intensify when temperatures remained high into the night, and even continued to rise in some areas. Heat bursts, the localized and sudden increase in surface temperature, were confirmed to have hit Ashland, Kansas where it jumped to 103 degrees just after 10:30 pm. This proved to be
the final piece of that “perfect storm” for some of those feeder cattle. Cattle depend on the cooler night hours to dissipate the heat they have accumulated throughout the day. Cattle normally do not sweat effectively and cool themselves largely through panting or their respirations. As humidity increases, panting becomes less effective and their heat load increases. It can take cattle up to six hours after the environmental temperature peak to dissipate their heat load, meaning that it is well into the night before they cool from a
hot day. When the temperature remains high, their heat load builds to such an extreme level that their body can no longer handle the stress, leading to decreased organ function, then organ failure, and eventually death. It has been noted that approximately 10,000 head of cattle have died across the state due to the extreme heat, 2,000 of them in the area of the reported rare heat bursts. Feedlot owners are doing their best to recover from the loss, but in many ways there is little that they can do
other than care for the cattle they still have and hope for the best in the future. While this may be the first major cattle loss due to extreme heat we have seen, it isn’t the first major loss from a natural disaster we have seen in even the last several years. Forest fires, floods and blizzards have devastated operations across the world. Fortunately, amidst these most trying times, we continue to see the agriculture community work to help one another rise up and find success.

Public Hearing on Changes to Development Code Last week, the Oneida County Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on the county’s new Development Code. The Code, which was contracted to a professional codification consultancy, will replace the existing development code governing the county, which, as many of the speakers mentioned, was assembled from a number of disparate elements over the last two decades. Some elements of the former code were found to be in contradiction to other elements, and some were found to be unclear. There were also a number of issues which have arisen in development over the last several years that are not clearly defined in the prior code, leading to a number of current issues for both the commission and the county. Representatives of the company who has written the new code, as well as most of the Planning and Zoning Commission, were on hand to present the major points of the new code, as well as respond to questions from an active and engaged public on building issues. The consultants began by explaining that “what we’re here tonight for is to discuss the work we’ve done to create this new code. It’s been a very big project—we were retained to draft an updated building and development code.” Cherese McLain served as the legal counsel for the codifiers, and has extensive experience in legal issues related to land-use and administration. She stressed that the new code is considerably longer than the one it replaces because “It’s important to try to think of everything possible. If your code stays silent, you don’t have a lot of authority when things come up. The volume of the code is designed to protect the county against as much as possible.” Mike Williams, the primary author of the document in question, has had a lot of experience developing code for similar counties. He started his career in Gem county, which he described as “very similar to here, very rural. I went to my first Zoning meeting and thought ‘wow this is pretty neat.’ I work with codes daily—day in and day out. What we found was ‘some of it was good, but it was kind of piecemeal. So we’ve written a code that ties everything together. This will allow the county to have growth pay for itself.’” The hearing itself was the penultimate step in getting the new code passed. Public and Commission feedback from the meeting will be incorporated into a draft that will next be presented for public comment at the Board of County Commissioners meeting. The Board will ultimately decided whether or not to adopt the code after said hearing. County Attorney Cody Brower was in C Y
M K
attendance to represent the legal interests of the county, but also to speak as someone who has been involved with the development issues affecting it over the last many years. “I’ve lived here a while, and I’ve seen a lot of the issues that have led to these changes. My first experience was the Cherry Creek gas station. A lot of people were upset that we couldn’t do anything about it. The same thing happened later with a subdivision and worries about water. Many citizens have come forward very concerned about development. This board has been working on this for two to three years. Updating the code—which was not very coherent— was beyond our abilities so we brought on these good folks to help with it. These two were very kind when they referenced our old code… it was terrible. In the past what we’ve done is go to another county and adopt a provision from their provisions, but it would not relate to the rest of the code at all. It really had a lot of issues. This uniformity will very much help.” One of the points that the all of the participants on the panel, as well as members of the public and several builders who addressed the crowd, made was that the biggest problem of the old code was its lack of uniformity. Because a clear sense of priority and connection between the subsections of the code is lacking, it often leads to inconsistent and conflicting applications of its provisions. The new code is based in the principle that clarifying all of the issues under a shared development philosophy will create a more transparent and effective set of policies. As Mike Williams explained, the Code has sevenchapters. Chapter One provides Definitions for the various subjects that are discussed throughout the document. The number of pages devoted to definitions increased from four to 43, which allows for a much more specific understanding of the issues in question, as well as a clear breakdown of what is included in each. Chapter Two deals with Base district regulations, and sets the county up with a clear set of Zoning designations, which primarily includes residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural. In the past, Oneida county has been governed by a “multi-use” Zoning map, which allows for flexibility, but does not allow for as much control over planned development. One of the additions to the code is the designation “Rural Residential,” which allows for planned development in the areas of the county with larger land parcels to be determined. The Chapter explains the uses for each zone type, including their different setbacks and specific regulations. The chap-
ter also explains overlay districts, which are regulatory districts laid over the top of general zone designations. This includes a more defined discussion of wildland districts/urban interface (WUI), which creates a fire management district on top of existing zones. Other overlay districts include the airport district and others. Chapter 4 concerns regulations for all districts, which lays out the standard regulations, divisions, property adjustments, public/private road assignments, offstreet parking regulations, signs codes, temporary use conditions, outdoor assembly rules, street naming conventions, and numbering rules of all districts. Chapter 5 concerns conditional uses, which can be applied to any of the existing zones. A public hearing process is required under the code to allow for a use outside of any area’s zoned uses, such as a daycare in a residential area. The landuse table is also included to outline what kinds of uses are pre-qualified under each zone type. There are specific use standards for 75 different specific uses. Chapter 6 covers subdivision regulations, which have been a major source of concern over the last couple of years. The chapter covers clear protocols for minor, large-scale, and special development subdivisions. The chapter also covers the mitigation of impacts on school districts and covers design standards and required improvements. In this section, the Rural-Residential Zone regulations are discussed, as well as their density restrictions and guidelines. Chapter 7 is the Administrative section, which covers how ordinances are administrated and enforced. The code’s developers stressed their belief in the importance of Development agreements tied specifically to zoning. The agreements allows for the specific design of requirements for development outside of zone requirements. Chapter 7 covers the administration of Hearings, etc. They can include the institution of sureties—money that has to be posted at 150% of the project cost in case a developer backs out of a project. After the presentation of the Code itself, the Commission and the writers discussed some of the issues that may not have made it directly into the code, such as regulations on semi-permanent or non-permanent residences across the county. This mostly applies to campers and fifth wheels on residential lots. The codifiers raised some issues, following up on the Commission’s feedback, that they think are important moving forward with the code. The county has recently adopted highway standards. The codifiers recommend that the
county adopt the highway standards into the Dev Code wholesale, in the interests of unifying building throughout the county. The language defining buildings designated as “Ag” was suggested to include further clarification. At present, land zoned as “Agricultural” allows for an Ag building permit, though this can often be exploited to build a range of buildings with non-ag purposes. Buildings which are designed to house boats or non-ag storage are often built under this designation, which will now become prohibited under that permit. Cabins, or other buildings which are used for human habitation, will also be prohibited under the designation. The consultants also wanted to allow residence in a non-permanent structure (such as a trailer) on property while a house is under construction, for one year while the primary residence is being built on same property being occupied. The consultants and commission both clarified that no new address for an RV will be granted for a property under construction. The address is rather assigned to the property. They also recommend that no address be issues to RVs at all. It was explained that skirting requirements can be required by the building inspector. Some language regarding subdivisions was changed to give PZ more flexibility to determine/gauge required elements such as water availability. Language about access roads was also discussed. It was determined that Planning and Zoning member term limits should comply with Idaho State Code. The Planning and Zoning Commission wondered whether it would be a good idea to create a zoning designation for “Recreation.” The consultants felt that the recreational uses in reference to places that might need them— Devil Creek Reservoir, Deep Creek, etc—were already covered under zoning definitions, though they explained that it would be possible to create a zone labeled “Public” for parks or other kinds of county facilities. Cody Brower reminded the public that the hearing was designed to generate potential feedback leading to any changes in the proposed Development Code. The process will involved at least one more public meeting, and so the draft the PZ Commission looked at was not meant to be the last word on the document. After the consultants and board had presented the highlights of the document, the meeting was turned over to members of the public to provide feedback and ask questions. Local resident Susan Wittman expressed concern about the potential for the grandfathering
in of properties which would be in violation of new standards. Cody Brower explained that any pre-existing structures which were in violation of either the new or the prior code would be subject to remediation. “If something was illegal before, it’s still illegal,” he said. This led the panel to a discussion of Conditional use permits, which can be applied for in each of the zones. The new code stressed that conditional use is used to create exceptions to the code for specific additions to projects, though planning will be a priority. There are extra prerequisites for certain types of buildings, which will require 600 feet of notification, such as meat packing facilities, quarries, airports, ag processing buildings, jails, racetracks, dumps, towers, and others. When asked what the county would do about limiting the potential for developers to begin projects which involve the digging of wells, Chairman Josh Paskett explained that ultimately that was a state issue, though the county could require a study by a licensed hydrologist to determine the feasibility of the water supply in the area. Local developer Brad Hess raised a point about the wording in the code, which would require two acres lots for any development which required a well and a septic system, though the prior code had set that size to one acre. The issue was discussed by the stakeholders from the county, and it was decided to recommend amending the language to reflect the one acre standard. The main source of public discussion at the hearing was the new “Rural Residential” designation. In short, the overlay or zone would limit residences in the zone to one per 40 acres, with an attempt to “cluster”. The residences would be located in adjoining quarters as much as possible to leave farmland separated out. A number of questions about how those density and planning elements would be enforced were
raised. Derek Wilson, of the Oneida County Fire Department raised some questions about the specifics of the setback and burn period regulations. The panel agreed that they would like to consult further with the Fire Chief before finalizing those elements of the code, as the input from the Fire District was essential to smart planning. The next major public question had to do with the aforementioned ag buildings. The proposed code allows for an “ag Building permit” (which is less cumbersome than other permits) on land of at least five acres, which is zoned Agricultural, and clearly designated for an Ag purpose. Building on smaller plots or out of Ag zoning will require an accessory structure permit. The question of whether there will be any land in the county zoned for commercial use was raised. PZ explained that there was not any commercial land in the current map, though this stage of the process was the primary one in which people might suggest such zoning. The pubic hearing with the Board of County Commissioners would be another place to raise those concerns. Mike Williams explained that preemptively creating commercial districts can actually lead to zoning problems in the future, and it was easier to zone them as the need arose and the course of development became clearer. The public hearing was then closed, and the public was invited to view the maps laying out the proposed zoning changes. The public is encouraged to bring forward any changes that feel need to be made to the plan. Josh Paskett motioned to recommend the new ordinance adopting the development code, along with changes from the public hearing, for approval by the BoCC. A second motion for recommending the zoning map with changes stated on record to BoCC was also made. Both passed.

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017) Ruth Williams Blaisdell has been named Honored Pioneer for Malad's Fourth of July Celebration. With her ancestry traced back to England and Wales, Ruth Williams Blaisdell's great-grandparents and grandparents came to the United States and traveled across the plains by wagon and handcart as part of the great Mormon pioneer migration. They settled in Samaria, Idaho, where Ruth was later born on April 10, 1920. Named Oneida County Farm Bureau Farm Wife for 2017 is Patti Jones. Patti has been a farm wife for almost 40 years and was very proud when she had been a farm girl longer than she had been a city girl. The family of Wayne E. Williams helped him celebrate his 91st birthday on Tuesday, June 13. They spent the day visiting and enjoying a Dutch Oven dinner at his home west of Malad. Elder John C. Pingree, Jr. is one of the newest members of the Quorum of the Seventy of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sustained in the April 1, 2017, General Conference of the Church. He visited with the Malad Stake at their Conference held last Saturday and Sunday, June 18 and 19, speaking during all sessions of the conference. Malad's Lions Club celebrates its 94th anniversary this month. Six years after Lions Clubs International was organized on June 7, 1917, the oldest Lions Club in Idaho, the Malad's Lions Club, was organized on June 25, 1923, with Hyrum J. Hansen as its first president. A constitution and Bylaws were adopted at that time, and the chapter was formally presented to the club on September 7, 1923. There were 30 charter members of the Malad's Lions club. 10 YEARS AGO (2012) Rhonda Neal, The Malad Area Chamber of Commerce vice president has declared that, “Because of his service to the community and his support of so many organizations, Darl Gleed has been named as the 2012 July 4 parade “Grand Marshal.” The theme of the 2012 parade is “United We Stand”. A happy look of anticipation is on the face
of Miss Daisy the goat as she a waits July 3. You see, Miss Daisy has never been kissed and she has two handsome firemen vying for that honor! Jerry Thomas and Geoff Green each have a jar located at the Kwik Stop and Thomas Market. People can vote on which of these men will kiss Miss Daisy by donating money in the jar of the person they are voting for. The money is being collected and helping the Malad Tumornators to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Oneida County Hospital radiology department is enjoying new updated x-ray equipment thanks to the generosity of The Nell J. Redfield Foundation and the Oneida County Hospital Foundation. During the Idaho State High School Rodeo in Pocatello last week, there were three area competitors, Braxton Eliason, Saige Smith and Regan Timothy who rode hard and roped well as they competed in the weeklong event. 15 YEARS AGO (2007) Lila Mae Crowther, 79, will be featured on the Malad Chamber of Commerce float as Malad Valley’s Honored Pioneer in the 4th of July parade. The Malad Area Chamber of Commerce has selected former Oneida County Sheriff Ken Wharton to lead Malad’s 2007 Independence Day Parade. June 9 saw Oneida Ambulance workers train in the use of some new extrication equipment. A year and a half ago, the local Ambulance unit submitted a grant application to the Idaho Department of Transportation for some new hydraulic rescue equipment. Three months ago the request came through. On April 21, 2007 the Grand Teton Council was pleased to bestow the Silver Beaver Award on Michael J. Hess. The Silver Beaver Award is the highest award local Boy Scout Council can give to a volunteer. This prestigious award recognizes contributions of individuals over many years of service. “Oceans Apart”, a traditional Welsh musical duo, will be the headliner entertainment this
year at the Welsh Festival. Kami Willie and Tori Green were honored for their years of service to the Malad Elementary Parent-Teacher Organization by receiving the Friends of Education Award. Cub Scouts from The Malad District had a fun day while they passed off many of their requirements at Cub Scout Day Camp, held, June 13, at the Malad Stake Park. 25 YEARS AGO (1997) Elder Forrest Thomas has returned from serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the California, Los Angeles Spanish Speaking Mission. Forrest is the son of J.D. and Sherrie Thomas. Mark J. Howard was recently promoted to colonel in the United States Air Force. Colonel Howard is commander of the 151st Medical Squadron in the Utah Air National Guard. Presenting Malad’s J. Marvin Hess with Idaho’s Small Business Person of the Year Award was Gretchen Sorensen, the Northwest Regional Director of the Small Business Administration. Mindy Smith is a member of Weber State University Women’s Rodeo Team that won the first place title at the College National Finals Rodeo in Rapid City, South Dakota. College Nationals were held June 2- 8. Mindy is the daughter of Kent and Pat Smith of Holbrook and is a 1994 graduate of Malad High School. 35 YEARS AGO (1987) In what has been described by those in attendance as a very “cordial and positive” meeting, representatives of the Malad and Downey medical communities met to discuss a possible joint participation effort with regards to the Malad Valley Living Center. Negotiations between the Oneida Teachers Association and the school board remain at impasse following talks with federal mediator, Tom Curdy, last week. Both sides met at the Malad Elementary School in closed sessions intervened by Mr. Curdy, but at the end of the long af-
ternoon of negotiating; salary disagreements remained the stumbling block stalling off contract settlements. Most other points of difference were able to be resolved, the negotiators say. Three from Malad were among the 2,300 students who graduated from Utah State University at commencement exercises in June. Gregory W. McDaniel, was awarded a diploma from the College of Natural Sciences in the field of biology; Tim Holt Esplin, received a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Delwyn George Palmer, graduated in the field of Electrical Engineering. The completion of renovation efforts on the Malad City tennis courts is on schedule according to contractor Brad Hess. Hess Building Contractors was awarded the contract on the project last spring for a bid of $14,265. Mayor Terrill Schwartz has asked that the new facility be ready for the 4th of July celebration. 45 YEARS AGO (1977) A 210-acre subdivision nestled in the hills due west of Cherry Creek will soon be developed, according to Dick Ennis, Woodruff resident who sold the land. The property has been broken down into 17 to 19 lots, with a majority of buyers planning to build permanent residences, and the rest vacation or retirement homes. Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise and featured in the July 4th parade and the 31st Oneida Rodeo will be the Malad Valley Junior Posse. Posse members are Lyndell Napier, Trisa Williams, Vicky Barnes, Jeanie Napier, Diana Martin, Joni O’Keefe, Trudy Williams, Daron Price, Denise Jones, Alice Peabody, Jackie Jones, Dale Jones, Ray Davis, Shane Thorpe, Stephanie Hill, Tina Thomas, Tammy Hill, Todd Howell, Troy Peabody, Camille Williams,
Don Williams and John Williams. Directors of the Posse are Sheila Peabody and Karen Arnout. Lindell Wharton was crowned Oneida County’s Miss Farm Bureau by Shannon Smith, 1976 Dairy Miss, at the Senior Citizens’ Center. Ann Ward was chosen first attendant and Andrea Williams as second attendant. Loyd W. Briggs, loan officer at J.N. Ireland & Co. Bankers, was among a class of 33 bankers to receive diplomas from the Northwest Agricultural Credit School, held in Pullman, Washington. 55 YEARS AGO (1967) With the signing of three more contracts with teachers for the 1967-68 school year, Lloyd Sorensen states that the only vacancy remaining is on the coaching staff at Malad High School. Kent Scott will be the agriculture teacher, the position Mr. Sorensen formerly held. Miss Sharon Reading has been employed as school librarian. Mrs. Beth Sweeten, who has been a substitute teacher at Malad schools during the past several years, will join the En-
glish department. Chief Warrant Officer F. Eugene Tew will leave from San Francisco for Vietnam next week. He will be assigned to the U.S. Army Support Command at Qui Nhan for a year’s duty. He has completed an assignment at Ford Bliss, Texas where he has been stationed the past several years. Assistant Dean William E. Koch, Jr., this week notified Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Simpson that their son, Gordon, a dental student at Washington University, St. Louis, Mo., has been awarded a tuition-remission scholarship valued at $1,000 for the year 1967-68.

Economic Effects of Inflation felt in Malad Continued from front page
the highest since the COVID outbreak. The rate is anticipated by analysts to reach 3.75% by the end of the year, an increase of 1.5% from earlier expectations. The raise in rates itself was the most dramatic since 1994. The rise in rates is intended to stave off inflation, which decreases the value of wages in the market due to the price of goods, but it also has the effect of reducing job demand and availability as well as increasing short term borrowing rates. This most directly affects mortgage lending and credit. Idaho Tax Rebates Idaho itself has boasted record low unemployment numbers over the last four months, with a May figure of 2.5%, one of the lowest marks since records on the number have been kept, starting in 1976. Economists have been sounding the alarm on protracted low unemployment as a flag for inflation since early this year. The last month for which unemploy-
ment data was reported in Oneida county was April, and the rate was among the state’s lowest at 1.8%. At the state level, Governor Brad Little and the state legislature have focused most of their remediation efforts on tax-related solutions. The most visible effort to this end most people will notice is the recently announced state tax rebate from the state, which has been issued to most taxpayers. According to the governor’s office, “Idaho has deployed 571,000 income tax rebates to households so far this year, totaling $190 million. The average rebate totals $333 per household. The Legislature approved $350 million in immediate tax rebates this year as part of Governor Little’s ‘Leading Idaho’ plan, so hundreds of thousands more households will receive their checks before the end of 2022. The plan also included ongoing tax relief so Idahoans will be able to keep more of what they earn in the years ahead.” The specifics of the future tax relief plan are
not available at present, but include reducing tax rates. This year, the state has also chosen not to invest in the bond market to anticipate cash flow necessities, which lowers the overall potential debt burden on taxpayers. Record surpluses, partly as a result of various federal emergency funds supplementing otherwise state-funded projects, have created a situation of outstanding solvency for the state budget. Many of the federal disaster and emergency funds, however, will soon be ending. Gas prices begin to decline elsewhere, still rising in Idaho. Most states across the country have begun to see modest declines in gas prices from recent peak highs. As of June 21, the AAA reported that the average price of regular unleaded in the United States was $4.97, while the average price across Idaho was $5.19. Locally, the cost has fluctuated between essentially those two numbers over the last two weeks. Idaho often has higher gas prices in the summer than the
national average. Last year at this time the national average was $3.07, while Idaho’s was $3.30. Prices in Utah are slightly lower ($5.18), while Washington ($5.53) and Oregon ($5.52) were notably higher. Prices in Wyoming ($4.82) and Montana ($4.97) were notably lower. Gas prices are one of the consumer goods that ripples throughout the economy in almost every sector. Family budgets are obviously impacted by a larger percentage of household income being diverted to transportation, especially among multicar families, and those with significant commutes. Unexpectedly high prices also eat into margins for businesses who rely on shipping, or a transportation network for materials, or vehicle fleets. The ongoing war in Ukraine is pointed to by economists as the most significant factor in the current oil crisis. Not only has the invasion by Russia created disruption throughout the oil supplying world directly, but has also
destabilized the global fuel market, leading to accusations of hoarding, price gouging, and market manipulation. Prices across the world are reflecting the same impact being felt in the U.S. President Biden recently spoke with oil producers about increasing supplies, lowering prices, and increasing capacity. The EPA has approved the year-round sale of E15 gasoline, containing 15% ethanol and reducing the overall cost. Generally, this fuel type is restricted during the summer. President Biden has also released fuel from the strategic reserve, which is believed to be reducing per gallon costs by between
$.10 and $.35. On the congressional level, there is currently a bill in Congress to place a ”holiday” on the federal gasoline tax, though it faces a great deal of opposition. Congress recently rejected a bill to outlaw fuel price gouging. There is no consensus on how long excessively high fuel prices will last, or how high they might go, but the AAA predicts that prices are likely to potentially top $6.00/gallon on average by Labor Day.

Malad Quilters donate to “Wrap Ukraine with Quilts” The charitable organization Wrap Ukraine With Quilts has been collecting donations of quilts to be shipped to Ukrainian refugees since the end of March. To date, the organization has collected over 5,600 quilts, with at least 60 of them coming from Malad, according to Carrie Hess, who has been taking local donations at Allen Drug. Gina Halladay, daughter of Gene and Kay Caldwell, was initially inspired to take up the quilt donation drive after seeing reports of refugees fleeing Ukraine. “We felt inspired to do something and wanted to let these Ukrainian families know that we see and care about them,” Halladay said. She and her friend Beth Hawkins decided to put another project they were developing on hold in order to turn their attention to what they saw as a more pressing need. Together with Gina’s husband Hal they founded "Wrap Ukraine With Quilts" in mid-March. Since then, they have been overwhelmed and gratified by the generosity and dedication of quilters from across the country. The donations have primarily come from northern Utah, where the organization was founded, but interest in the project has spread widely in the meantime. As of last report, the group has received quilts from 35 states, and from quilting organizations all around the country. Gina and Beth both have a great deal of experience in the world of quilting and quilters, having operated a number of businesses in the area. In this case, they decided to turn that expertise to a cause. “Gina and I started talking, and we knew that we could do something to send them some comfort and show that we care about them. We decided to collect and send the unique gift of a homemade quilt. We know quilters. Quilters are givers,” said Beth Hawkins. Initially, the group started with small social media posts explaining the idea, and sent out email requests to friends and others in the quilting community. The small idea has turned into an impressive operation, with hundreds of quilts a month being donated. As the pair explain, they asked a friend if he could quickly build them a landing page for their website www. wrapukrainewithquilts. com. He suggested creating a way to register the quilts with a QR

code. A quilt maker may register their quilt on the website, then print a page which contains the quiltmaker’s name and location, a short message to the recipient, and a QR code. The quilt maker then can attach it to the quilt before sending. “When we receive the quilt, we scan the QR code and let the quilt maker know we have received their quilt. We inventory the quilts and get them to refugees very quickly through our team of volunteers who hand deliver them to refugees in Poland. We have also partnered with the charity Lifting Hands International, who sends cargo planes of supplies, including our quilts, to Ukrainian refugees every two weeks,” said Beth Hawkins. The QR code allows recipients of the quilts to send messages back to the makers of the quilts after they receive it. “Making that personal connection between quilt maker and quilt receiver has been an awesome thing to see,” Hawkins said. Quilters have received back messages, social media contacts, and pictures of family members wrapped in the quilts. The website contains a “live quilt counter” which displays the number of quilts received and sent through the organization, which plans to continue accepting donations throughout the year. Quilts have also been gathered directly by Gene and Kay Caldwell, including a large number from Logan and other surrounding areas. Locally, quilts can also be dropped off at Allen Drug to Carrie Hess. The Director of Utah’s Lifting Hands International Traci Parson explained that “quilts and blankets are high on the list of items needed and

Gardening for your health You don’t have to wait until your garden harvest to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Aside from all of the tasty fruits and vegetables, there are so many other goodies that come from all that time spent gardening. Gardening continues to provide a variety of healthy benefits in addition to all those essential vitamins and minerals. Gardening is a great way to get in a little exercise without hitting the gym. Between using a variety of tools, hauling bags of mulch, digging the soil, pushing a wheelbarrow, and weeding, gardening uses a variety of muscle groups that will build muscle and burn calories. The manual labor of working in the garden can also provide some cardiovascular benefits that will help keep the heart strong. Bending and moving while gardening also helps to stretch and keep joints limber. Spending time out in the sun while gardening is a great way to help your body naturally produce the necessary vitamin D. Vitamin D is important for several body functions, but especially essential for building strong bones and immunity. A little time in the
garden and sunshine can do a lot for the body. Working in the garden also benefits the immune system by being exposed to a range of micro-bacteria that live in the soil. Time and experience have taught that from small children to the elderly, exposure to dirt and germs is important to building and maintaining stronger immune systems. Some exposure to dust and pollen can even help reduce the risk of developing allergies and asthma. As the saying goes, a little dirt can’t hurt, in fact, it can certainly help! Gardening has been shown to help use and improve cognitive function, especially in older populations that suffer from dementia. Research in Korea, Norway and the Netherlands have demonstrated that individuals that spend regular time gardening show new nerve connections in memory related areas of the brain. Time spent gardening has also been found to help reduce depression as it helps improve attention span, increase self-esteem and boost one’s overall mood. Focusing on the detailed task at hand instead of negative

thoughts provides peace and relaxation. Growing and caring for a garden can be quite a feat, something anyone can be proud of. Being out in the fresh air and sunshine is the best sort of mood booster there is. Not only does gardening reduce depression, but it also reduces overall stress by lowering cortisol levels, the major stress hormone that

results in the body’s fight or flight response. In fact, a mycobacterium found in soil has actually been seen to stimulate serotonin production and those feelings of peace and relaxation. Reduced stress and fatigue from physical labor in turn aids in a more restful night’s sleep, continuing the cycle of reduced stress. Those tasty fruits and vegetables might be the moti-
vation for a summer of gardening, but the benefits of gardening go far beyond the plate. From stronger muscles and healthier immune systems to reduced depression and stress, gardening is just what the doctor ordered for a healthy lifestyle. The benefits of cultivating, planting, growing and harvesting a garden nourishes the body, mind and soul.
Some say that in 1876, something carrying millions of dollars of gold crashed and fell into the Ashtabula River in Ohio. Many have tried to find the mystery bullion, but to date no one has. Do you think it is really there? Or is it a legend? To find out what crashed, color each space with one dot BLACK and color each space with two dots BLUE.

In 1692, an earthquake hit the city. Much of it sank 65 feet (20 meters) below sea level. For hundreds of years, sand and mud covered the city. Many treasure seekers tried to find the sunken city and failed. Then in 1965, a diver named Robert Marx used modern equipment to dig under the layers of mud and found the lost city. He was not looking for treasure, but find it he did! Thousands of coins were found—perhaps lost pirate treasure.
Long ago, Spanish ships full of treasure sailed the seas. Sometimes these ships sank, leaving tons of treasure on the sea floor. Search the sea floor for seven coins with letters on them. Unscramble the letters to find out what these ships were called!
