NEWS IN BRIEF

Roe vs Wade Effectively Overturned

The Malad Valley Men's Welsh Choir: Jim Christiansen, Mark Jones, Bob Crowther, David Harris, Steve Ward, A.C. Black, Lewis Dredge, George Alger

Welsh Festival Returns for 2022!

After a two year delay due to COVID, the Malad Valley Welsh Festival returned to mark its 16th year in fine fashion, with a full range of the traditional events over the weekend, including the seating of the 2022 Bard Lamonte John, Welsh harpist Kathy Clayton, the kids’ poetry competition, several impressive musical performances, the Quilt show, games, food, activities, and the 140th anniversary celebration of the Presbyterian “Little Church on the Hill.”

The Festival was supported and organized by the Malad Valley Welsh Committee chaired by Jean Thomas, and saw hundreds of attendees in attendance over its three days.

Seating of the Bard

Before the poetry portion of the afternoon was begun, the fiction winner was presented. Former Bard Jan Crowther Myers read the work “Melancholy Air,” before it was revealed to be the work of Bob Crowther. The story largely concerns a visit to Malad by a Welsh choir in 1915, after which the boat returning the choir to Wales tragically sank.

Crowther was named the Fiction Winner of the Festival.

Cory Webster, Bard of the 2019 Welsh Festival, was finally allowed to relinquish his title as the reigning bard.

Due to COVID, he has been in the position since his anointing three years ago. Webster, from the Haywire Ranch in Downey, “has been simply wonder-

Dozens of migrants found dead in San Antonio, TX

ful at sharing his time” with the Welsh Festival’s activities in the meantime, according to Jean Thomas. Webster presided over this year’s poetry competitions, as well as last year’s awarding of the Scott prize.

In the tradition of the Welsh Eisteddfod, poets submit their work under a pseudonym, which is not know to any of the judges until the winner is announced at the seating ceremony.

The name is read out three times, after which the author raises and is escorted to the Bard’s Chair to be seated. This year, the name “Llangyfelach Lad” was called out according to the tradition, WELSH FESTIVAL On Page 13

Gary and Sherma Shepherd Named July 4 Parade Grand Marshals Each year, the Fourth of July Parade celebrates a local individual or individuals who represent the heart of the community. This year, that honor goes to the proprietors of Malad’s downtown landmark the Dude Ranch, Gary and Sherma Shepherd.

Gary was born in Malad, and went to school here while working for his parents at the Dude Ranch, which they opened on July 3, 1945, just in time for that year’s Fourth celebration.

After high school, Gary decided to attend trade school for training as an electrician in Pocatello. While working there at a service station, he met his wife Sherma, who grew up in a house on Pocatello Creek.

In 1969, the couple was married, and moved permanently to Malad. In 1978, they purchased the Dude Ranch and have been run-

ning it ever since.

In that time, Gary and Sherma have seen a lot of changes come to the valley, and especially to Main Street where the Dude has served as a strong anchor to the community’s downtown area. They reminisced about all the businesses that have come and gone over that time, including Jack’s Books, Ernest’s barbershop, the Star Theatre, Tommy’s Lunch, Davis Shoe repair, and many others.

The business of running a restaurant has also changed over the intervening years, and even more so in the last several. The Dude Ranch is an iconic fixture of Malad city, so much so that many times people visit town from far flung areas just to eat there. People who were raised here and GRAND MARSHALS On Page 2

51 migrants were found deceased in a trailer outside of San Antonio, Texas. Autopsies are being performed, but it is believed that the lives were lost as a result of the sweltering conditions, which were in the low 100s last week.

Sixteen people were rescued from the trailer alive, but with severe heat exhaustion and dehydration.

There was no air-conditioning or water found in the trailer. “This is the worst human smuggling event in the United States. This sheds light on how dangerous human smuggling is,” the Homeland Security agent in charge of the investigation stated.

101 year-old woman reunited with a painting stolen by the Nazis

Charlotte Bischoff van Heemskerck was forced into hiding with her family in 1940 when the Nazis invaded the Netherlands.

The painting had been stored for safekeeping in a bank vault which was looted. The painting, a portrait of Steven Wolters by Caspar Netscher, had been previously hung in the children’s hospital where her father worked. The painting was located by the Commission for Looted Art, and returned to the family by a private collector who had ended up with it.

Utah Jazz hire new coach

Boston assistant Will Hardy has agreed to a five-year deal to be the Utah Jazz’s next. At 34, Hardy will be the youngest coach in the NBA, and will be among youngest coaches in NBA history. Hardy himself is even younger than two current Jazz players, Rudy Gay and Mike Conley. Hardy will be replacing Quin Snyder, who unexpectedly stepped down as the head coach after eight season with the Jazz, and a 372-264 record. Hardy spent most of his NBA career with the San Antonio Spurs.

In a landmark ruling last week, the Supreme Court effectively ruled that Roe vs. Wade, which has been in effect for 50 years, does provide a constitutional guarantee for abortion services. 13 states including Idaho currently have “trigger laws” which immediately went into effect after the ruling, restricting (and in some states completely outlawing) access to abortions. A draft version of the ruling had been leaked earlier in the summer, though it was unclear how far the court intended to go its decision. Several other high profile cases are still to be decided before the end of the court session.

Inmates hospitalized from Pocatello Women’s Correctional Center

Seven women reportedly became unconscious over the weekend at the PWCC, requiring the hospitalization of three of them.

While there are no confirmed causes for the event yet reported, the conditions of the women improved after the administration of Naloxone, which is used to treat opioid overdose.

Home Run Derby $300 IN CASH PRIZES

Ernest Palmer

Celebrate Christmas in July by attending a concert by Ernest Palmer on Friday, July 8, at 7:30 p.m. at the Presbyterian Church. Well known locally and in community theater in his hometown of Seattle for his beautiful voice, Ernest will sing not only Christmas favorites but also popu-

The Malad Valley Men's Welsh Choir: Jim Christiansen, Mark Jones, Bob Crowther, David Harris, Steve Ward, A.C. Black, Lewis Dredge, George Alger

lar musical theater numbers and jazz standards.

Ernest is the son of Edna and the late Tom Palmer and grew up in Malad. He is the grandson of Jenkin Palmer and the nephew of Stan

Palmer, both of whom were outstanding baritone vocalists. Ernest carries on the family tradition.

The concert will be a fundraiser for the Jesse James/Susan Palmer

cabin restoration project in Pleasantview on the Palmer Ranch. Attendees are asked to “pay what you can” to support the project.

moved elsewhere often make a specific point of stopping in “for lunch at the Dude” while visiting for Memorial Day, the Fourth, Graduation, and other town events.

“Out of towners are definitely important to us—if it weren’t for them we’d have a much harder time,” Gary says.

Locals, passersby, and those who return to the Dude Ranch when passing through all love its carefully prepared, high quality meals, with most having a go-to favorite.

Despite all the changes, some things have remained consistent, like the importance of the Fourth of July parade and events. Gary, who has been with the Fire Department since 1981, remembers lighting off fireworks at the school before safety regulations changed where they could be deployed from. “We’ve scared an awful lot of dogs in our time,” he laughs.

“But we always put on a great show for the money we have. Even on years when it's cold— and we’ve had a few cold ones, I remember it snowed one year—we still do it.” This year, as has been the case for many years, the fireworks will be set off from the Fairgrounds, including, as Gary was happy to mention, a 16” shell.

Gary and Sherma are the parents of three daughters, Lisa, Chan, and Nicole; four grandkids, Shaylise (Shay), Taleesha (Teesh), Sadie, and Ryan; and three great-grandkids to date, Noah, Riley, and Lydia.

The Fourth of July Grand Marshal is an important part of the parade, designed to highlight those who have gone above and beyond in making the city what it is. Mayor Joan Hawkins stated that “We felt the Dude Ranch has been an essential fixture of Malad for many years. We appreciate Gary and Sherma not only for keeping the Dude Ranch open, C Y

M K

but also for their community service. When my kids are planning to come visit, their first question is always ‘is

the Dude Ranch open?’”

The question is one familiar to anyone in town with visitors on their way, and one that

will hopefully always be answered in the affirmative!

William (Bill) Neal named Honored Veteran of the Fourth of July Parade

The Fourth of July committee has named Bill Neal the Honored Veteran for 2022. The following information about his life, his family, and his career was provided by his family.

Bill was born in Minidoka, Idaho on 20 January 1934 to Jesse William Neal and Virginia Ireta Vroman.

Bill was mainly raised by his grandparents, William Job Neal and Maria Bradshaw of Stone, Idaho. His father worked for the railroad, and his mother relocated to Palo Alto, Califonia. Bill’s father was a good father and Bill missed him while he was away for work.

Bill has a foster sister, Sherril Murray or Lakeport, Callifornia, who was adopted by Bill’s mother.

A typical day for Bill as a child was growing up on the farm. He loved to go to the creek, fish, ride his horse, and help out on the farm in Stone. He drove the tractor for his Grandpa Neal. Bill would help milk the cows, feed, and do the chores. He remembers that he would drive the Ford tractor with big iron wheels. Bill would have to get under the steering wheel and push down in order to get the clutch pedal down to stop the tractor. He grew up with a friend who lived down the road named Dewey Cottle. They called him Sonny. Bill was part of the 4H group and traveled to Moscow, Idaho for a couple of days. He remembers going over White Bird Pass.

As a young adult, Bill attended high school at Bear River High School. He rode the bus from Stone to Tremonton. He competed on the high school’s swimming team.

He attended American Falls High School for his sophomore year where he played basketball. He graduated from Bear River High School with the class of 1952. The Korean War had started in 1950, and he remembers hearing about the events of the war. He remembers his favorite class being “raising hell.”

He loved his U.S. History class that was taught by Mrs. Whiteside. He remembers a lot of his high school friends. He was good friends with Junior Lish (Tremonton, Utah), DeeLynn Peterson (Penrose, Utah), and Kay Harris (Stone).

During high school, he and his friends loved to attend the regional C Y

M K

Marine Bill Neal

dances held on the 24th of July, Labor Day, and on New Year’s. He remembers the hardest part of growing up was being away from his dad. The best part of growing up was being in Stone, working, and being outdoors.

Bill started working for a television company installing antennas after high school. He would install them on the roof.

He first saw his future wife, Arvilla Marie Evans, at a dance in Stone, Idaho in September of 1954. They were supposed to be married on May 26, 1954, but Bill was drafted into the Korean War and was put into the Reserve Unit out of Ogden, Utah. He was sent to the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina for training. He was there for five weeks, returned home, and proposed to Marie. They were to be married May 26, but Bill received a letter from the draft board. The letter explained that he would be reporting on May 26.

They decided to move the wedding up one day, and they were married on May 25, 1954. They spent their honeymoon in the New House Hotel in Salt Lake City. Bill would need to report the next morning at 9:00 a.m. in Fort Douglas.

His welcoming sergeant asked where Bill had been and why he was so tired. Bill explained that he was married the previous day. The sergeant told Bill to go home. He later was notified that he would need to report to Camp Pendleton on June 15, 1954.

He and Marie moved to Corning, California where Bill would help haul hay while he was waiting to report to the Marine training base.

Bill got on a Grey-

hound Bus and reported to Camp Pendleton.

He was there for six weeks. Bill was able to get housing and Marie joined him on base. He was called up with several of his crew members for their station orders. Many were assigned to Korea, Japan, Midway, and others.

Bill was called up and assigned to the Cold Weather Training Battalion in the High Sierras, which was in Bridgeport, CA. He was able to use his truck driving experience for good use. He was happy he was staying in the states. He would have served anywhere, but he was glad he could stay close to his new wife.

They moved to Carson City, Nevada around Thanksgiving time. They lived in a small upstairs apartment. They had their first child, Eugene Neal, in Carson City, Nevada.

They found a house to rent that was just off of base, but Bill would get into trouble for leaving base. Bill was assigned to drive a bus that would take recruits from the base and back to Carson City, Nevada. Bill lived in Carson City for 22 months until he was placed on leave.

Bill and Marie moved back to Ogden, Utah where Bill worked for Ogden City as a bus driver for 1.5 years. He then worked for Western Electric. He was transferred to Phoenix, Arizona until he found out that the Salt Lake City area was back up and running. His superintendent did not want to transfer him back to SLC, so Bill took two weeks of vacation. He did not end up working for Western Electric in SLC, but found out the Thiokol was hiring. He wanted to be closer to

Marie and Bill Neal

home. Bill and Marie now had three children, Eugene, Ireta, and Max. He worked for Thiokol for seven years.

Bill and Marie then moved to Santa Rosa to work in San Francisco to work in the shipping yards. Clair was born.

Bill was in an accident in a submarine while working in San Francisco. He had his lungs burned. He and Marie decided they would move back to Malad where Bill worked for Oneida County and then Oneida County Sheriff Department for ten years. He later ran for Sheriff and worked for five years before his retirement on 1 April 1998.

Bill and Marie loved to be camp hosts in their retirement. They camp hosted out to Stone, Idaho at the reservoir. They also camp hosted at the Malad Summit and Palisades Reservoir. They loved meeting new people and taking care of the campgrounds.

Looking back on his life, Bill would not change too much. He sees his experiences as valuable and worthwhile. He and Marie were married for 67 years. She passed away on 1 June 2021. Bill and Marie have four children, 13 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren, and one great great-grandchild.

Kids’ Poetry Contest Winners Malad’s school aged children were invited to submit poems for the Welsh Festival, with the winners receiving prizes

from the Festival Committee. The semi-finalists were selected by a group of judges including former teachers. The

first place Festival winners from each group were selected by former Bard judges after a live reading.

Katy Carter (5th Grade)

“On the Trail of Life”

Whitney Roe (2nd Grade)

Piled Wood Investigated new land Oxen pulled the wagons New Country

Explored new states Eat corn meal porridge Rode in wagons Some pioneers had a hand cart

On the trail of life I will encounter strife Though for the sky I’m bound I may come crashing to the ground

I must keep my heart From falling apart I must get myself back On a bright happy track

In the shameful heat Of terrible crushing defeat I am stuck in the dumps I cannot stand the thought of any more bumps

There was a time That I could not make the climb Now I’ve left that gloomy mile So now I can finally smile

Aubrey Price (4th Grade)

“Do Good”

Doing good is the right thing.

It can be hard but keep trying.

Be kind be brave be bold be you, the world needs more love and kindness it’s true.

Sometimes people may not treat you right, but that just means you can show them the light.

We can do this together believe it or not, the world needs you, it needs you a lot.

Kayla Wilson (6th Grade)

“The Day of Clouds”

Dark. Dreary. Dull.

Clouds swirl above.

Somber. Sorrow. Sad. A flash of light, A boom of sound.

Pitiful. Pathetic. Pessimistic.

A drop of rain.

Cheery. Content. Calm.

My flowers lift their droopy heads.

Paityn Ward (7th Grade)

“Trails and Trials” Joe Willie (9th Grade)

“The Beaten Path”

There lies a trail, everyone knows A beaten path, the story goes We are traveling on it, so they say But we never stop, night or day

We must press on, never retreating Constantly running, our hearts beating It’s a straight line, but the end lies far away And there are the tendrils from the path, to make us stray

We, like animals, never a break Always aside us, an awful beat, always awake Thump, thump, thump our feet go On a dusty trail, everyone knows

Then forever away, we finally stop A glorious end, we’ve now reached the top No more running, we’re among our own Forever with loved ones, finally home.

Malad Lady Dragons prepare for upcoming year with new coach The Malad High School Girls’ Basketball team, along with future Lady Dragons, had a busy month of June as they put in time preparing for the upcoming girls’ basketball season, which will begin in November.

The Malad High School team held a team camp May 31- June 3 with special guests attending to help the team out.

Snow College basketball player and Malad High School Alumni Shawnee Simpson, along with Idaho State Women's Basketball Coach Courtney Smith, spent time during the camp working with the girls. There were also members of the ISU Women’s basketball staff that put on a camp for the middle school aged players on June 1-2.

The Lady Dragons held another basketball camp from June 13-15, this time featuring former Snow College Basketball player, Tylie Jones. Jones is a graduate of Rigby High School and will be playing at CSI this upcoming school year.

She is the daughter of former Malad residents Justin and Jayme Jones and granddaughter of Terry and Marsha Jones of Malad. Sessions were held for players from Kindergarten up through high school. The camp

Malad Youth Basketball Camp with special guest Tylie Jones

had approximately 75 girls participate.

Some of the highlights that stood out to the coaches at this camp included seeing the youth start to develop basic fundamentals and an excitement for the game, according to Malad High School Coach Trevor Jones. Jones also stated that the coaches were excited to see the high school girls jump in to help coach and build relationships and start mentoring the future Lady Dragons. He said this was "phenomenal."

The Lady Dragons competed in over 30 games in June. Coach

Jones said, “We have loved seeing the girls take advantage of opportunities to get in the gym and look forward to what hard work they will continue to put in. We have a long way to go but the process is what it is about.

The girls' work ethic and willingness to compete will keep them busy this summer in preparing for their upcoming season. Our team Motto is EARN IT! And we have no doubt the girls will continue to put in the time to become competitive at all levels this next year. #earneverything!”

fruit is created equal…there is no fruit better or less sugary than the other.

3. Aim for less than 24-36 grams per day of added sugar.

It is recommended that women consume less than 24 grams and men less than 36 grams of added sugar each day. That is equivalent to about 6 or 9 teaspoons of added sugar. To put that into perspective, one can of soda had about 40 grams of sugar…that’s about 10 teaspoons! Watch your added sugar intake by reading the food labels and choose lower sugar options.

4. Watch the artificial sweeteners.

Just because “diet” doesn’t have real sugar and uses artificial sweeteners doesn’t mean that it is healthy. Too much artificial sweeteners can cause problems too!

Here is a delicious beverage alternative to soda.

As the Fourth of July holiday draws closer and with complaints already rolling in, the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office wants to remind residents about the laws pertaining to sales and use of the ever popular holiday noisemakers.

According to the law, nonaerial common fireworks may be sold at retail and used beginning at midnight June 23 and ending at midnight on July 5. Nonaerial common fireworks means any fireworks such as ground spinners, fountains, sparklers, smoke devices or snakes designed to remain on or near the ground and not to travel outside a fifteen foot diameter circle or emit sparks or other burning material which land outside a twenty foot circle or above a height of twenty feet. Nonaerial common fireworks do not include firecrackers, jumping jacks, or similar products The law goes on to say that It is unlawful for any person to alter any fireworks, throw any fireworks from,

We have had some beautiful weather and some beautiful rain! We can be so thankful for the moisture we have received. Have a safe and enjoyable summer with family and friends! Come join us for lunch here at the senior center on Mondays and Fridays at 12:15 pm. We would love to have you join us. Check out our July menu for the yummy lunches!

We all know we need to watch our sugar intake. But this is a complex question. Here are some tips and suggestions on how to handle sugar in your diet.

1. All sugar is digested the same It doesn’t matter what type of sugar you are consuming (honey, brown, white, natural, etc.) it’s all recognized in the body as sugar and digested the same. Some sweeteners like honey do contain some vitamins and minerals but it’s still recommended to consume natural sources in moderation to avoid blood sugar spikes.

2. Fruit contains sugar, but don’t cut fruit out of your diet.

Fruit is extremely nutrient-rich and contains a lot of fiber which helps lower blood sugar spikes. Aim for 2-3 fruits daily in ½ - 1 cup amounts. Also, all

into, or at a moving vehicle or at any person, sell or use any fireworks at any time not permitted under the law, and use fireworks in any area that constitutes a severe fire threat based on the vegetative conditions during the current fire season as determined by the county commission or authority having jurisdiction, provided that notice of such areas is given in advance.

While the Fourth of July is meant to be a celebration, the Sheriff’s Office wants to ensure that the laws pertaining to fireworks are followed and that everyone is using them in the proper manner, as safety is of the utmost importance.

Fire on the Range

By Allison Eliason

The country’s drought conditions have led to a significantly greater fire activity over the last several months. In fact, the year-to-date acres burned in the U.S. is approximately 112% above the 10-year average with more than 80% of the total acres in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. While fire conditions in Southeastern Idaho are currently much more stable than many areas, the potential for an intense fire season is still very real.

The timely rains, cooler spring temperatures, and slower melting snowpack have kept Idaho greener and safer in regard to wildfires.

But as the summer continues, temperatures will rise and the rangelands’ abundant grasses will cure and dry out, turning things into much more dangerous conditions.

In so many ways, wildfires are complicated to understand as we try to predict their potential, how they will move, and how they can be controlled. But in other ways, wildfires can be very simple. Any fire needs only three things to exist- oxygen, fuel, and an ignition source.

Obviously, in a wildfire there is no way we could ever contain or control the fire’s access

to oxygen. There are some on the ground firefighting tactics that can reduce oxygen along fire lines, but only in small quantities.

When it comes to controlling the ignition source for fires, we should be able to have better control. We should be smart about camping with fires, sparks from shooting or exploding targets, controlled burning, and fireworks. But sometimes people aren’t smart, don’t care or even despite their best efforts, things get out of control and fires happen. The U.S. Forest Service estimates that an alarming 85% of all wildland fires are human caused.

Even if we could put a stop to all fires started intentionally or unintentionally by people, there will still always be a chance of fires naturally starting due to lighting and we are forced to admit that we can’t completely control the ignition source.

Fortunately, it’s a different story when it comes to fuel. Fuel in the path of a wildfiregrasses, brush, and trees, cannot be completely taken out of the picture, but it can be significantly reduced. And it’s likely the best option we have when it comes to being able to prevent or control a wildfire.

Now begs the ques-

tion, if we want to try to limit the fuel in the path of the possible wildfire, how would we go about it? Honestly, I think we already know a handful of good and useful practices that have proven themselves in the past that we really need to take hold of.

One of our simplest solutions is grazing.

Grazing the grasses, weeds, and brush and whatever else we can, can help keep them at a manageable size. Cattle, sheep, and goats have proven that their grazing rangelands can decrease potential fire fuels and slow the spread of wildfire. Grasses are the fastest and easiest means for a fire to spread and reducing their amount will help reduce how fast or far a fire will travel.

Grazing the wild lands and ranges is actually a pretty terrific win-win.

The cattle have great feed on the range, a great win for our ranchers.

But the other winners of this deal are practically EVERYONE else. Reducing fuels reduces a chance of fire, or at least helps keep fires smaller and easier to manage.

Fewer and smaller fires keep our skies clearer, air cleaner, and wild lands safe, beautiful and available for everyone to use.

A few years ago, I watched a fire on our

own rangeland. On a hot, dry August day with dry lightning in the forecast, it was no surprise that a wildfire started.

This area of the range was rocky, spotted with cedar trees, and had been pretty well grazed by our cattle.

As I watched the progress of the fire, I was sort of in awe of its power. The fire was terrible and, honestly, incredible to see how it moved. It was just like watching water from a ditch move across the ground. It never was deterred. It never slowed. It never hesitated. Anywhere there was a path for it to go, it went. The areas with taller, thicker grasses were the places that it burned with greater vigor. But in those places where the grasses were grazed, it slowed, giving the firefighters more time to gain control.

My experience isn’t the only one out there that demonstrates the benefits of grazing when it comes to wildfires. As we all know, California has been devastated by rangeland fires for the last several years. In May of 2019 there was a wildfire near Los Angeles that threatened the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. As a means to protect the library, they contracted with a local goat rancher to come in and graze

down the area to reduce the fuels. The fire came in raging but slowed to a crawl once it came up on the grazed area. In fact, the firefighters said that slowing the fires was key to giving them enough time to get ahead of the fire and save the library.

There is a lot of push back for grazing. A lot of people feel that grazing is disruptive to the course of nature because farm and ranch animals don’t belong on wildlands, but also because grazing is a means to control nature rather than allowing it to take its own course.

True, grazing can seem somewhat invasive, but we have seen that the fallout of wildfires is more destructive than any grazing herd could ever cause, not only to the land but to communities and families near and far. Something even more terrible comes along when we don’t take proactive measures like grazing. Mother Nature’s answer to fires is to let it go. Let it go until it either runs out of fuel (which means that it has burned EVERYTHING in its path up) or it has come upon a natural fire break.

This may have been OK hundreds and hundreds of years ago, but this isn’t a suitable option anymore. We have

seen that as our communities have changed and developed over so many years, our towns, businesses, and homes have spread across the country, and many are now in the paths of wildfires. Not stopping fires and not preventing them allows too much devastation.

A totally hands off approach to taking care of our wildlands may seem like a good option to keeping nature natural, but we have a greater responsibility to provide a safe place for people to live, work, play and raise their families. In fact, NOT getting rid of the fuels that we can seems like we are setting ourselves up for disaster.

Is it too bold to say that it seems irresponsible or even reckless to let those kinds of things go without being maintained?

Wildfires are really complicated and really simple. The simple part is that we have some means to reduce the devastating effects that come as a result of their unrelenting power. Grazing can play a big part in protecting our beautiful country we are all blessed to live in.

While there is so much we CAN’T do to prevent fires, there are some things we can do. Let’s do them.

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017) There is no one in town that has traveled the USA more than this year's Grand Marshals for July 4, the Bill Moss family with Moss Trucking! Even now that the family members don't drive much at all for the business, they all did at one time or another, and all still wish that was what they were still doing rather than the administration of the business or servicing of the trucks.

Moss trucking all came about in the 1960s when Bill and Lila Moss were trying to make a living farming. With a young family and the struggles of farming, Bill decided that he would drive truck for a while to make some extra money to help out the family finances. He drove for Big "C" Flour, Crowther Brothers Milling, in Malad. Big "C" Flour would send him out with a load of their flour and he was supposed to find his own back haul. Although this was just supposed to be a temporary thing, Bill found out that he enjoyed driving.

The Oneida County Farm Bureau has chosen the Josh and Natalie Paskett family as the Farm Family of the Year.

Josh and Natalie live in Samaria, Idaho, with their three children Taber, Oakley and Mesa.

Josh and Natalie own and operate Buckhorn Ranching Co. and Spade 7 Trucking, where they raise cattle as well as offer trucking and custom farming services.

Josh and Natalie were both raised on farming/ ranching operations and recognize the importance farming and ranching have to "feed the world".

The Idaho State Police, Oneida County Sheriff's Office, Malad Firemen and Oneida Ambulance were called out Friday morning about 10:00 to the scene of a commercial semi-truck wreck and fire on southbound Interstate 15 at the Exit 13 off ramp. During the single vehicle crash, the semi-truck rolled on its side dumping its load of gravel. The truck was totalled.

The driver, who had a chin injury, was transported to the hospital

by Oneida Ambulance.

Malad Firemen quickly extinguished the fire.

The off-ramp was blocked to traffic until about 6:00 that evening.

A wrecker service with a crane was brought in to clear away the wreckage. Those traveling southbound wanting to stop in Malad had to bypass Exit 13 and travel to Exit 3 to turn around on I-15, or head north on Old Highway 19.

10 YEARS AGO (2012) With publication of County Resolution #2012-06-02, the Oneida County Commissioners have officially declared Oneida County a drought area. The commissioners also expressed great concern for residents and visitors to be cognizant of wild fire prevention.

On July 4, 2012, Rex and Gloria Daniels will be traveling down the C Y

M K

parade route during the Fourth of July parade as Honored Pioneers.

During the July 4 parade, Gene Edwards will be honored as the Malad Valley Honored Veteran.

Gene has been a member of the American Legion for 40 years and enjoys serving with the Legion and being a member of the rifle squad.

At a recent meeting of the Oneida County Farm Bureau board of directors, the Oneida County Farm Family of the Year for 2012 was chosen. The family selected is the Nolan and Mary Blaisdell family.

The Malad Fire Department and the Holbrook Fire Department would like to remind Oneida County residents and visitors to use caution when lighting fireworks this Fourth of July holiday. The two county fire departments encourage everyone to enjoy the holiday season while being mindful of the current city ordinances, personal safety, and overall carefulness. Remember, what goes up must come down. Your neighbors and local landowners and recreationists appreciate when fireworks do not put them or their property in danger.

Listed below are some simple safety tips to follow when lighting fireworks that will help ensure a safe celebration for you, your family, and for the community and surrounding farmland and wildlands: • Avoid buying fireworks that are made for professional displays as they can pose a serious danger to consumers and property.

• Always have an adult supervise fireworks activities.

• Never allow young children to play with or ignite fireworks. Parents don't realize that young children frequently suffer injuries from sparklers.

Sparklers burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees – hot enough to melt some metals.

• Have a water supply such as a running hose or bucket of water nearby to quickly douse spent fireworks and potentially address unintended spread from embers. (Sparklers should be dropped in a bucket of water to fully extinguish.)

• Do not ignite fireworks on or near highly flammable material such as dry grass or dry fields, trees, shrubs, buildings, vehicles, flammable liquids or other flammable material, etc.

• Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers.

• Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when lighting the fuse.

Back up to a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks.

• Never try to re-light or pick up fireworks that have not ignited fully.

Light fireworks one at a time, then move back quickly.

• Never point or throw fireworks at another person.

• After fireworks finish burning, completely douse the spent firework with plenty of water before discarding it to prevent a trash fire.

• In the event of a fire or serious injury, call 911 for assistance.

The Malad Fire Department and the Holbrook Fire Department encourage you to enjoy the holiday season by keeping in mind the current city ordinances, personal safety precautions, and community awareness and respect. As a reminder, local ordinance allows for consumer fireworks to be used only from midnight June 23rd to midnight July 5th. Remember, what goes up must come down, and your neighbors appreciate when fireworks are handled with caution and do not put them or their property in danger.

BARD CONTEST WINNERS

“Coming Home”—Bard Prize Winning Poem 2022 Llangyfelach Lad (the Welsh pseudonym of Lamonte John) There’s hardly a phrase in this language of ours or in any other lengthy tome That Brings more joy to the human heart than to say “I’m coming home” My first recollection of experiencing that joy was when I was off to college A time zone away and far to the north, I was trying to gain more knowledge But I missed my mates and my family too, and especially my sweetheart I missed So, at Thanksgiving break, I sped down the road, looking forward to a welcome home kiss The time slipped by, we were married soon after and then we started our crew Of four little boys full of mischief and laughter, intermixed with adventurous brew We lived closer now, and from Utah to home was a short little drive up the road And homesick feelings of being too far away were something that never we showed Then the circumstances of life took a changing turn moving us far, far away To the other side of this beautiful land and the question of how long we’d stay Some though it short, and some thought it long, some weren’t sure what to think In the end it seemed longer than we ever imagined, but the time hurried by in a blink We were there so long that it became home and where we longed for had shifted To the woods of Virginia near the Capitol city, our interests apparently had drifted For 30 years plus we planned most of our summers with intent on traveling west To unite with our family, the young and the old, but now we felt

more like guests It was great to see all and catch up on news, and sometimes we wouldn’t want to leave But our homesick hearts had now shifted east, a concept not previously conceived And late in my life I and the good fortune to connect with some family long lost In the county of Wales, where my ancestors started before the ocean they crossed Families were split with some left behind and no plan was ever thought viable To reunite in the future, with travel so difficult and communication so unreliable Fast forward a century, or maybe more, and the tools of communication are vast To facilitate connection with family that was split and seemingly lost in the past It sparked interest in my ancestral homeland, a place that I’ve still never walked It created curiosity in my forbear’s past, a subject about sometimes we talked So, I dug deeper, with my cousins in Wales, and learned much more than I knew About the place where it started many centuries ago and now with a much better view Using tools of the day I was able to find the streets of the villages and towns Where my grandfathers walked in the early days while still being subjects of the crown I considered the stories, both written and verbal, of their courage in starting anew In a land far away, where freedom was found which today blesses me and blesses you My newly found clan sent me records and photos of gravestones of ancestors past In the churchyard plot where

2022 Bard of the Welsh Festival, Lamonte John

they prayed each week ‘til finally the day was their last So, I’ve come to feel affinity, to that country afar, I can say that without any strife And I hope someday to make a pilgrimage there to complete that circle of my life So now we’ve returned to the valley of Malad where, for both of us, life had its start Where we lived and we laughed and we learned a lot, about what to keep in our heart Like the families that raised us and the values they taught, the lessons we’ll never forget And the lifelong images of good friends and teachers, forever we’ll be in their debt And then there’s the “village” from a now distant state, who loved us right from the start And the ones who came later and enriched our lives, forever they’ll be in our heart And what of my family from a far distant land, the ones who I’ve yet to embrace Won’t they be a part of my life from now on and something I can never erase

So what’s the solution; can I figure it out, which of these places to call home?

It’s a question I’ve been pondering and hoping I could answer by the final line of this poem But failing all that, I think the solution is to not give it any more thought Perhaps it’s best to just bask in life’s blessings and to give thanks for all that I’ve got For indeed I’ve been blessed from the very start with abundant influences for good And to think I’d call home, just one of these places; it’s selfish to think that I could And so for today I’m happy to say that my home is wherever I’m standing With more than six decades of life’s lessons learned I’m happy today notwithstanding My Welsh heritage tells me that all things are possible and no matter how far I can roam It’s the loved ones around me who show me they care that tell me for sure that I’m home

Welsh Festival Returns for 2022! continued from page one

until Lamonte John rose to accept the honor. His poem “Coming Home” was judged the winning poem for the Bard chair.

Poet Leonard Morgan Hawkes's poem “Norman” was awarded the Patsy Price Scott prize.

Both are reprinted in this edition.

Kids’ Poetry Competition The kids’ poetry competition, which was open to school aged children across the valley, also awarded its prizes for the top three spots in each grade. Out of the submitted poems, a number of semi-finalists (printed in the June 9 edition of The Enterprise) were selected by a panel of writers and former teachers, and invited to read their poems at last Friday’s afternoon session of the Festival.

Overcoming nerves and displaying an impressive amount of bravery, dozens of aspiring young bards read their creations to the crowd of friends, family, and poetry lovers.

Named as winners in each grade were the following. Second grade: Maggie Schow (3rd place), London Jones (2nd), Whitney Roe (1st); Fourth grade: Riggin Jensen (3rd), Ira Carter (2nd), Aubrey Price (1st); Fifth grade: Danette Layton (3rd), Zoe Bodily (2nd), Katy Carter (1st); Sixth grade: Jaxon Price (3rd), Aubrey Moss (2nd), Kayla Wilson (1st); Seventh grade: Cruz Carter (3rd), Emree Henks (2nd), Paityn Ward (1st); Ninth grade: Aubrey Corbett (3rd), Josh Pickett (2nd), Joe Willie (1st). The winning poems from each group are printed in this edition on page 4.

Music In addition to poetry, Wales is most notably associated with music.

Countless adages about the country make it clear that there is nothing more inherently Welsh than a love of singing and playing. Following the kids’ poetry competition, Malad’s talented youth presented a range of performances in singing, piano, and instrumentation.

The Malad Valley Men’s Welsh Chorus were on hand at a number of events to sing the Welsh national anthem, as well as other traditional songs. The song “We’ll Keep a Welcome in the Hillside” was notable re-written to include “Malad.”

Noted harpist Kathy Clayton highlighted the performance, with a number of pieces from Welsh composers John Perry and John Thomas.

During her performance, Clayton explained the history of the various types of harps used in Wales, and demonstrated how they were played.

The Welsh Festival also featured a series of piano ensemble pieces, ranging from more traditional numbers by Brahms and Mozart, to an arrangement of Bach’s 5th concerto for four players on dual pianos, abd the theme from “Monsters, Inc.” Art C Y

During the Festival, a display of kids’ artwork was housed in the lower floor of the building. Pictures of dragons, drawings of cities, artistic renderings of flowers, and other creations displayed the creativity and skill of local students.

Main street hosted “Art on Main” during the Festival, with a sidewalk chalk event, local art displays, and a beautiful presentation of quilt from the local quilters guild.

Hall of Heroes Lucille Washburn presented a detailed history on the “Hall of Heroes” in Cardiff during Friday and Saturday of the Festival, covering a number of iconic Welsh heroes throughout history up to the present. Part of the Welsh Festival’s mission is to provide educational, as well as entertaining, material to those in attendance.

Boudica (or Boadicea in the Latin chronicles) was a queen of the British Iceni tribe who I most famous for leading an uprising against the conquering Roman forces in A.D. 60. According to Roman sources, after the uprising failed, she either poisoned herself or died of wounds sustained in battle, or illness. During the uprising, Boudica’s forces managed to control a number of Roman cities, including modern Colchester and London.

Hywel Dda (d. 949) is considered one of the most important of the “Kings of the Britons,” and is most noted for formulating what would become known as the “Laws of Hywel Dda, ” which codified the legal system of the island and were seen as compassionate and respectful of the rights of women.

Other important Welsh figures commemorated in the Hall of Heroes include Gerald of Wales (1146-1223) was an archdeacon and historian. Much of his medieval writing survives to this day, providing one of the best sources of contemporaneous information on Wales of the time period.; Llewelyn ap Gruffudd (1223-1282) who was one of the last of the independent princes of Wales before the land was conquered by Edward I of England; Dafydd ap Gwilym (1315-1350), who was considered one of Wales’ greatest poets; Owain ap Gruffyd (1359-1415), also known as Owain Glyndwr, who was a Welsh leader who inspired and led a long resistance against English rule in the late middle ages. He was the last native born Welshman to hold the title of Prince of Wales, which is now an honorific given to the oldest son of the British Royal Family. His 15 year revolt elevated Owain to mythic status and led to a legend of his return during times of greatest need; Henry VII (1457-1509) the first of Tudor line of Royalty, and who was the last of the British Kings to win victory on the field of battle; Bishop William Morgan (1545-1604) who first translated the Bible in Welsh; William

Historic LDS sites in Wales Jill Morgan, Professor from the University of Wales, spoke to the assembled crowd on a “Tour of 19th Century LDS Historical Sites in Wales.” Morgan now works for the LDS Lucille Washburn tells the audience about the Hall of Heroes in Cardiff Church History Department, and has gathered a number of stories about sites across Wales that have significance to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She relates that after speaking to students in Marsh Valley at an informational session, she was asked “why do you sound like my grandma used to?”

With a clear Welsh accent, Morgan explained that she first became interested in the topic of LDS history in Wales after coming across and article detailing an “Anti-Mormon Society” in an Harpist Kathy Clayton old Swansea newspaper.

As she had always heard that there weren’t any LDS members in Wales at the time, she wondered why there would have been any such society.

Her research eventually uncovered a vibrant and interesting history of the religion in the area, and began collecting documents and stories about what LDS life was like in Wales in the nineteenth century. She uncovered a series of locations that had served as meeting places, baptismal locations, and missionary histories that had previously been little discussed.

OBITUARY

Matthew LaVar Williams

Matthew LaVar Williams, age 30, passed away on June 25, 2022, surrounded by his loving family. He valiantly and courageously battled the ramifications of cancer for 20 years.

He was born to Mike and Tami Williams on March 25, 1992, in Logan, Utah. He was the youngest of five children.

He was born one week after the passing of his grandfather and namesake, Melvin LaVar Christoffersen. He came 18 months after his brother, Michael. They were inseparable and shared their own special language. They loved to play with their toy farm animals and would spend hours setting up corrals. He was adored by his three older sisters and they loved to take care of him and snuggle with their baby brother.

Matt attended school in Malad, Idaho. He excelled in elementary school. He was extremely bright, social, and athletic. He enjoyed playing baseball, basketball, football and wrestling. Matt was very driven and exceptionally determined.

At the young age of ten, the course of his life took a drastic turn as he was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. He underwent two brain surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation.

This brutal course of treatment, necessary to preserve his life, left him unable to excel in those things that once came easily to him. It was heartbreaking to watch him struggle in this way.

However, his limitations never disrupted his determination to forge his way on this altered path.

He had the opportunity to attend summer cancer camps.

These were tender and sobering experiences for Matt. It was at Camp Rainbow Gold, where his parents discovered that he was now going by LaVar. He is still Matt to all of his family, but it sure makes us smile when we visit with his countless friends and acquaintances that refer to him as LaVar. Matt was given the gift of Make-A-Wish.

He studied his options thoroughly and thoughtfully and he determined that he wanted to do something that involved the entire family.

He chose to go on a cruise. This trip allowed us to create memories that we will laugh and cry about forever.

Matt was an Eagle Scout and honorably served in the Washington Everett Mission.

He loved the people there and served to the best of his ability.

Upon returning, he continued his education at Brigham Young University Idaho. He received his Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science. This was a major accomplishment for

Matt. College was extremely difficult for him as a result of the brain trauma he experienced during cancer treatments as a child. He was blessed with an amazing counselor who helped him find the tools he needed to be successful and accomplish his goal of receiving a degree.

Matt returned home to Malad often to spend time with his dad and brother at Dogpatch. They loved taking care of animals and working on countless projects. His ultimate project was to restore the old barn. He worked tirelessly on this for many years and found much joy and satisfaction in this labor.

Matt was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints. He had a love for the temple and when possible attended the temple weekly. He was a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ. He lived a life serving those he loved.

Everywhere we look we see evidence of those things Matt did to serve and love us.

Matt was a very organized person and everything was always in its place. He loved to build, create and repurpose. He built beautiful furniture pieces out of pallet wood. He loved country music and would sing along at the top of his lungs.

One of his very favorite things to do was to play games with grandma and grandpa. He loved to eat and would spend a significant amount of time creating a masterpiece with his food in order to savor every last bite.

These bites almost always included a significant amount of butter and onions. He loved Mountain Dew, Crystal Light and orange Trident Gum. Matt had some classic sayings with Matt-specific inflections. A few of our favorites were: My bad, How are you doing, Don't worry - be happy, I’m good, Just sayin, Button it, I love ya, Come what may and love it, It’s all good, Don’t worry mom, Whatever you do don’t tell my mom.

You would rarely see Matt without his signature Matt accessories. This included his fully equipped toolbelt, wild rags, cowboy hats and boots, with mismatched socks. It would appear that he had a tobacco problem as his Wrangler pockets were typically filled with tobacco chew cans containing various nuts, bolts or fittings.

He had a vast collection of ropes. He enjoyed spending time working on his roping skills and this was a favorite date activity for him. He loved spending his weekends working the sorting corrals at the bull wars and rodeos.

He was uninhibited and authentic. Matt was Matt no

March 25, 1992 - June 25, 2022 matter where he was or who he was with. He made friends wherever he went and we seem to constantly run into someone that knows LaVar. A common phrase we hear is “We just love that kid.”

Matt lived with nearly constant pain and discomfort as his health struggles continued throughout his life. We never once heard him complain. It was never about Matt. He was always concerned about everyone else. As the healthcare workers would attend to Matt, he would tell them not to waste their time with him, rather they should help someone else that was in pain. He was an eternal optimist.

Matt had an extremely strong desire to find a job to support a family, live independently and get married. Matt wasn’t able to get married in this life, but it wasn’t on account of him not giving it his very best effort.

Anyone that knows Matt, could attest to this fact. He was not opposed to reaching out to those he knew (and sometimes didn’t know) to ask if they had a sister, friend, daughter, granddaughter or wife that they wanted to set him up with. We are most certain that this still remains a top priority for him.

He had a really strong desire to be able to provide for himself and a potential wife and family.

He worked diligently for years to overcome obstacles that made this seem like an impossibility.

However, he was determined to stay the course. In 2020, Matt felt strongly impressed to move to Logan, Utah. These impressions led him to a job opening with the Hyde Park City Crew.

He received his CDL and loved working machinery and serving the people of Hyde Park. He loved his job and more than that he loved the people he worked with. We knew them by name and will forever be indebted to them for the priceless gift that they gave LaVar. This job and the people who helped facilitate it, provided him with 15 months of a sense of fulfillment he had never experienced before. He was able to live independently.

It afforded him the opportunity to buy a truck - which had been a lifelong dream of his. He was so proud of his truck and although he only had it for a few short months, he had already added numerous Matt-style upgrades.

Of all the hats that Matt wore, his very favorite was that of uncle. He adored his nieces and nephews and they loved and adored him. He would have done anything for them. He would spoil them with treats, gum, doughnuts and pretty much whatever they asked him

Matthew LaVar Williams

for. He was always on the floor playing with them. He looked forward to Sunday afternoon basketball games followed

by French toast. As he courageously battled near the end of his life, he fought just a little longer to ensure his nieces and nephews could make it to say goodbye.

He revered his father and loved to spend time with him working on various projects at the ranch and with the animals.

He was his right hand man. His father taught him how to love and serve.

He loved and adored his mother. She courageously and valiantly fought each battle with him and worked tirelessly to take on and lift as much of the burden as she could. She was his hero.

His family was everything to him. We each had the opportunity to sit at his bedside and care for him in small, but emotionally significant ways. We got to laugh, cry, sing, dance and reminisce with Matt and each other.

That time was sacred for each of us.

Matt is survived by his parents, Michael and Tamara Williams of Malad, Idaho; His four siblings, Tara (Ariel) Toraya of Riverton, Utah, Trisha (Zachary) Beutler of Malad, Idaho, Tazya Williams of Riverton, Utah, Michael (Kylee) Williams of Preston, Idaho; his grandmother, Klea Mae Christoffersen Brown; his step-grandfather, Warren Brown; four nieces and seven nephews; aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandfathers,

of those early years.

While visiting the area, church President Lorenzo Snow felt moved to name the town Samaria, in honor of the welcoming and generous spirit of the community.

Welsh was frequently spoken in town, and the manner of dress and local customs were also very much in keeping with those of the home land of many of the residents.

Welsh dishes such as bara brith, teisin thin, stone bake cookies, Welsh cakes, and a traditional dish made of liver, were also commonly eaten. Ever since, the area of Samaria has looked C Y

forward to both St. David’s Day (the first day of March), and the celebration of the Eisteddfod, which the Welsh Festival has brought back.

By 1910, there were 428 residents of the town, primarily Welsh, including the Morse, Williams, Davis, Price, Hughes, Roberts, Evans, Griffiths, Hawkins, Thorpe, Martin, Mason, Bowen, Jenkins, Noble, Hill, Roderick, Daniels, Davies, Jones, Mansfield, and Anderson families. Today, the population of Samaria is around 150, though obviously its Welsh roots run deep.

Heritage square features several restored cabins, including those inhabited by the Sam-

uel Deer Davis Family, John Evans Price, Mary Deer Davis, Richard and Viola Reese, and Benjamin Nichols. Vera Ann Nichols is most famous as a matriarch of the Osmond family. An antique sewing table still bears the graffiti of two well known descendants.

During the Festival, traditional Welsh games and activities were taught, and the cabins were open to guided tours. During the course of the weekend, Waldron, as he often does, met a number of people who turned out to have roots in the area, as well as new stories. “This is what I love about the Welsh Festival,” Waldron said. “Stories and

Matt bore an undeniable testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ and of eternal families.

We know and rejoice in the fact that Matt has returned to that very God who gave him life and with a perfected body he can now rest from the physical ailments that plagued him.

We find peace and comfort in knowing that he was welcomed by a host of family in a joyous reunion. We know that he will continue to be involved in the details of our lives. And we will seek comfort from the Savior of whom he bore solemn witness.

Matt, we love you and will honor your life and legacy by cherishing each moment as we strive to “Come what may and Love it”.

His final words to his nephews were: “Why are you crying? Don’t be sad. You know about the Plan of Salvation.

Just be good, choose the right and be happy. I love you.”

Presbyterian Church The Presbyterian Church, “the Little Church on the Hill,” celebrated its 140th anniversary to close out the 2022 Welsh Festival.

The church has been an important part of the town and its history since it was first founded. The celebration featured the Men’s Welsh Chorus, as well as memories from those who had been touched by its presence over the many decades.

“Little Church on the Hill” Celebrates 140 years Since the building was constructed in 1882, Malad’s Presbyterian church has seen a lot of history from its perch on the hill. Over that span of time, the church has seen the town grow from about two hundred people to its current size, seen generations of pastors, congregants, and students fill its halls, tolled its bell to mark history and warn of danger, and stood through it all with grace.

As the story goes, Reverend Sheldon Jackson looking west from the banks of the Missouri river and realizing there were no Presbyterian churches for 1000 miles, dedicated his life to founding them across the land.

Ultimately, this quest led to the founding of the first Presbyterian church in Utah in 1869, at Corinne. A Sunday school missionary from that Corinne church, Reverend Duncan James McMillan, eventually made his way to Malad, paving the way for the establishment of a Malad congregation in 1876. Services were provided for a time by Reverend S.L. Gillespie, while the Corinne church became increasingly interested in establishing a permanent church in Malad, which was a direct freight line to the mines in Montana.

Last Sunday, a pair of commemorative services were held in conjunction of the Welsh festival, filling the building to capacity and bringing out warm memories from a town which holds a special place in its heart for the building, its past, and its present.

The service was opened by current Clerk of Session Toni Werk, who welcomed visitors and thanked community supporters.

The congregation then rose to sing “There is Sunshine in my Soul Today,” with the accompaniment of Jeff Treasure and Darla Thurber, chorister. The Malad Men’s Welsh Chorus, who were a familiar set of voices during the Welsh Festival, performed “We’ll Keep a Welcome in the Valley” and “In the Garden,” accompanied

by Helen Ward.

The history of the church in Malad was recounted by J. Marvin Hess, who explained that it was Reverend Edward M. Knox who began the construction of the present chapel in February of 1882. The property was deeded to the church by Henry and Julia Peck for $100, and the building was constructed as a two room schoolhouse.

The church itself was organized in 1884 by the Wood River Presbytery with John M. Morgan ordained as a Ruling Elder. The first official session of the ruling council on December 3, 1884. At that C Y

time, a manse (referred to as the “Cottage”) was built to house teachers.

Eventually, the pastor and his family moved into the building in 1918 after a fire partially destroyed the living quarters that had been inside the chapel building. A new manse was dedicated in 1959, in connection with the 75th anniversary of the church.

Over its time, Hess explained, the church has had 25 ministers, though at present lay leaders are charged with conducting the ceremonies.

After a performance of “Be Still My Soul” by the Treasure family, Edna Palmer presented the history of the Church School. Reverend Edward Welch, the first minister of the Malad mission, established the mission school in 1878 with the aid of his sister Emma Welch, and his wife Lizzie. The mission school was originally housed in a log cabin on 137 S. Main. Due to the high enrollment, classes were also held at the A.W. Vanderwood Store, as well as Mrs. Winnifred Lloyd Robert Evans’ home.

As there was no public school at the time, the school district funded the teachers of the mission school to ensure the education of all the town’s children. The teachers were recruited from all across the country under the direction of the Presbyterian Women’s Board of Home Missions of New York City.

The school moved into the present church building in 1882, though increased enrollment forced classes to be held in a building on 71 Bannock street throughout the 80s and 90s. The first public school in Oneida county was built in 1900 (near the location of the current Malad Elementary), which eventually led to the closing of the Mission school in 1908, after which the teachers became public school teachers.

Christine Snow and

Amy Smith then performed a beautiful rendition of “What a Friend we have in Jesus” accompanied by Madelin Smith, after which Michael J. Hess presented the history of the church’s most iconic feature, the bell.

As Hess explained, there is no definitive way of knowing, but the bell is said to be at the very least one of the oldest in the state of Idaho. The bell, which was created in 1884 in Troy, New York, has been ringing in Malad for causes both joyful and solemn for over well over a century.

It’s first tolling was to call members to church services, and soon, it rang twice a day to announce the beginning of school. It was later used to announce the beginning of curfew.

Over its time, it has been used to call the fire department into service, to warn the town of the Deep Creek Dam breach, to provide a doleful note on the occasion of funerals, and to announce major national events. The bell rang out on both V-E Day and V-J Day, and young Griff Jenkins joined Tall Bill, the Chief of Police at the time, to sound a requiem for the soldiers who had given their lives to the cause.

More recently, it rang to solemnize the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and to commemorate the liberation of Kuwait in 1991.

A large part of the bell’s role in local life is its tradition of the “ring and run,” a tradition of Malad High School boys who would sneak at night to ring the bell and do their best to escape before being caught. A number of confessions to that end were made during the presentation, though the culprits will not be revealed here.

The service continued with a stirring rendition of “It is Well with my Soul” and “Amazing Grace” by Emily Rossow, Carrie Jensen, and Pennie Wolf, after which a

number of memories of the church were shared by those who had spent cherished time there.

D.L. Evans began by explaining how the “church must have shrunk” since he was a kid, and recounted a number of happy memories with the people who had made it a special place, including Ralph Hanson. JoAnn Harrison Ward and Lorie Harrison Peterson spoke about going to Easter services in the sometimes awkward fashions of the time, visiting summer camp, tracing the carvings on the benches during services, and (a story that was repeated by a number of speakers) checking the light fixtures for bats before services.

They also spoke on the many memories shared of Lucille Harrison, who everyone agreed was the backbone of the church for many many years.

Mylene and Fred Jones (who stated “I must be the only boy in the history of Malad who didn’t ring the bell” to much laughter) spoke on behalf of the memories of Ann, Julie, Stella, and Gina Byrd, as well as others.

Cheryl Jenkins Marshall and Diane Jenkins Deeg, shared memories of growing up in the church with their parents Griff and Jeanne Jenkins, as well as a number of misadventures and traditions that bound the family together, including running the basement Spook Alley (“it was already spooky enough!”), rearranging Christmas ornaments, and mistaking the “Pedestrian Crossing” sign for a “Presbyterian Crossing” one.

Susan Naugler Fineman added memories of her family’s time in Malad, and ended on

Toni Werk provided the benediction, after which the guests rose

to sing “Let there be Peace on Earth.” A reception with a collection of historical photos was held in the annex.

The church has weathered 140 years in its place on the hill, and will hopefully weather at least that many more in the future.

Coby Cozier to take over as Malad High School Head Football Coach For the 2022 Malad High School Football season, a new coach will lead the Dragons.

Coby Cozier has been selected to be the new head coach for the Malad Football team.

Coach Cozier is new to Malad High School but is not new to the 2A Fifth District. Coach Cozier graduated from West Side High School and later returned to help coach the Pirates. Coach Cozier has played football for eight years and coached football for eight years.

He coached at West Side High School, Rock Springs Junior High in Wyoming, and TH Bell Junior High in Ogden.

When asked what he plans to do with the program, Cozier responded, “One thing I am focusing on is creating unity between the youth football program, the middle school, and

the high school by having the coaches on board to run similar things. The reason for this is so that when kids get older and make their way through the programs, they aren’t having to learn something completely new every year.” Coach Cozier wants to also focus on keeping things as simple as possible for his players because he believes that simplicity equals confidence.

He wants his athletes to know exactly what they need to do without having to think about it.

He said, “Confidence is what is needed to help with the safety of the players. If they are confident, they are not going to be second-guessing themselves.”

Cozier added, “I am looking forward to seeing the athletes develop and compete. I remember Malad High School being very competi-
