SLCC teaches players new skills at MHS Boys Basketball Camp 2022
The Malad High School Boys Basketball team prepared for their upcoming season by participating in a basketball camp in June. The camp was a great three days for the boys and was lead by Kyle Taylor the head coach at Salt Lake Community College (SLCC).
Malad’s Coach Zach Beutler said he found this camp an invaluable experience to provide student athletes the opportunity to learn from current credible sources that will reinforce the principles that as a staff they plan to teach.
Coach Beutler said, “It was beneficial for my staff and I along with all the players that chose to participate. We had Coach Taylor put on a camp for our youth earlier in June and later in the month we had him come to teach and instruct our incoming 7th-12th graders.”
Beutler continued by stating, “Principles he teaches, drills he reps and his approach to the game was both enlightening and exciting for all that participated.”
This summer the boys have also had the opportunity to participate in 20+ games, spending weekends in Ririe, American Falls, Preston, and West Side. They held practice sessions for 90 minutes every weekday night in June when they were not at camp or participating in games. “We as a staff focused our energy and efforts on helping the boys develop their personal skills,” continued Coach Beutler. “We worked on team offense and defensive principles. I often say nobody cares what your little league or summer league record was so I can’t even tell you what our win/loss was for the summer. Focus was on fundamentals and preparation both as individuals and as a team. Those boys that made time to work with us made huge strides developing their IQ of the game as well as their personal physical skill set. We worked on muscle memory drills and equipped the boys with drills and expectations of how they can continue their development between now and November.”
Coach Beutler added that he is proud of his boys and the efforts they have made this summer.
Throughout the off season the coaching staff also set an expectation for the boys. Each boy is pushing to reach a goal of making 10,000 shots before the end of November 2022. There are several boys on the team that are taking this challenge seriously. The team is able to see and encourage one another via the use of AI HomeCourt, an artificial intelligence app that tracks and keeps record of all their hard work. Coach Beutler and his coaching staff would also like to invite all youth and high school boys to join in on the shooting and agility challenges. They currently have boys from fifth to twelfth grade actively participating. If there are youth that would like to join the team you can text Zach Beutler at (208)251-8839 and he will add them to the team.

Not recommended for parents and kids

Not recommended for parents and kids.
I listen to a podcast each week that goes over the lesson for Sunday School. Now, I know not everyone goes to Sunday School, but I think we can all relate to engaging in something that gets us thinking about life at a deeper level. So, whether you do it through religious study, meditation, engaging in meaningful conversation or reading that pushes your thinking in new ways, I believe it is a good thing. This week the podcast explored Elisha’s reply to his servant when their situation was less than ideal, “Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.” (2 Kings 6:16) Elisha was referring to unseen help from the other side. Have you ever felt that help or wondered about it?
I had a situation that was annoying me, and I needed some help. I have a bathroom faucet handle that has been loose for weeks. It doesn’t leak, just sort of spins around when I turn on the water. Well, the weeks have ticked by, the handle was still spinning and I’d just finished listening to the podcast about getting some help from the other side. So, I cleaned everything out from under the sink and shimmied my way into the cabinet to take a look hoping direction would come as I explored the situation. First thing I see is a Welsh Dragon painted on the underside of the sink. This was a good sign. I’m Welsh. I identify with the Welsh. I’ve been to Wales and I try to get my grandchildren to recite, “To be born Welsh, is to be born privileged…”. I don’t know where that Dragon came from, but he was there. Instantly, I felt better. My attitude changed. I was no longer annoyed. If I hadn’t decided to try my hand at fixing my own faucet, I would have never known I had a Welsh Dragon on the underside of my sink. I just felt better. I was not outnumbered anymore, there was me and my Dragon from the “other side of the sink.”
I checked out the fittings and nothing was loose. I scooted out of the cabinet and went upside to the annoying faucet handle and discovered all I had to do was twist the fitting around the handle until it was tight. I’d been annoyed for weeks and could have fixed it myself! It took that Welsh Dragon from the “other side” to adjust my attitude to the point of figuring my own problem out. So, good people, whether you’re religious, meditative, a deep conversationalist or a thoughtful reader keep digging and your answers will come. The faucet is no longer loose, and more importantly I now know I have a Welsh Dragon right under my sink. “They that be with us are more than they that be with them.” Life is Good!

The Malad High School Class of 1972 held its 50th class reunion on Saturday, July 2, at the Events Center. Delon Williams was chair and encouraged everyone to share stories from their high school years. A video of class members included pictures from the yearbook and more current pictures of class members with their families. A memorial video was dedicated to those who have passed away. Marla Jones, whose husband Albert is in the class, catered the meal although the meat was provided by class members Kelly Hughes and Jim Wakley.
WEDDING

Summer is synonymous with grilling season and there is nothing better to cook up over some flames than a nice steak. But with the way meat prices are moving up, it may seem that burgers are the only beef that will be hitting the grill this summer. Those most coveted steaks- the ribeye, rib steak, T-bone, tenderloin, New York strip, filet mignon and Porterhouse steaks may be priced out of reach, but getting a little creative with cuts outside of those middle cuts can make for some tasty grilling without draining the budget.
The most tender, tasteful but also most costly restaurant style steaks are found in two primal cuts- the rib, found from the 6th to the 12th ribs and the loin, found behind the rib and before the round. While these may be the most tender and tasty cuts, a little creativity and effort can turn cuts from the round and the chuck into steaks that will make the grilling season great. This list of lesser know cuts can make finding an affordable steak at the meat counter a realty and keep anyone from having to sing the grilling season blues
The eye of round steak is a lean, tender steak from the primal round of the large beef hind quarter. Being a lean cut, it often has a reputation of being tough, but if grilled properly, it can be quite tender. This cut is often cubed or diced for dishes like Swiss steak. The eye of round steak cooks quite quickly, only needing five minutes on each side.
The bottom round steak, once again from the hind round cut, can be another tricky, yet tasty steak to put on the grill. To keep from being a tough, dry steak, it should be tenderized, then salted and seasoned and left to sit for an hour. Once it's placed on the hot grill, continue to flip the steak every minute to keep the outside from contracting and becoming tough.
The top blade steak found in the chuck, is a newer steak to the grilling scene. Butchers are finding this new cut to be one of the most tender and flavorful steaks. This cut does come with one drawback- a tough seam of connective tissue that runs through the middle of the steak and can make it extremely tough when grilled. The simplest means to get around this issue is to cut the blade steak into and completely remove the gristle, making your steaks much more like the more expensive flat iron cut.
The chuck eye steak is a low-cost alternative to the ribeye, both a tender and savory grilling choice. The more expensive ribeye is found from the 6th to the 12th rib. The chuck eye is found just before the ribeye at the 5th rib and shares many of the same tasty traits as the ribeye but at a better price. Unfortunately, this cut can sometimes be hard to come by as there are only two chuck eye steaks found per cow.
The ranch steak, also known as the more wordy boneless chuck shoulder center cut steak, is another tasty, yet economical cut from the chuck, trimmed up to resemble a sirloin steak. This steak will lose its tenderness when cooked past medium, but is a great option for those rare to medium cooked steak fans.
Steaks with a little more toughness don’t have to be ruled out as a grilling option, but just might need a little help to meet that tender level. Using a meat mallet to tenderize a steak before grilling is a great way to help break up some of the connective tissue that adds to toughness. Just be cautious to not make the steaks too thin or grill too long after tenderizing. Placing the steaks in a marinade for a few hours prior to grilling will also help to break down the tough tissue and add some great flavor to enhance the natural tasty beef.
Grilling this season doesn’t have to be hampered by the ever increasing grocery costs. Finding those creative cuts might be just the ticket to keeping those savory favorites on the grill to enjoy the last of the summer cookouts this year.
