A Busy Homecoming Week

The weather has at least threatened to turn, the leaves have definitely started to, and school is most definite ly underway. As thoughts of summer recede further into pleasant memo ries, it is most definitely time to come home to the place so many call home, whether currently or in their hearts. Homecoming Week, as it always does, brought out the joy of celebrating a long tradition of community pride and coming together.

The week’s events including a full slate of activities at the middle and high schools, sports, parties, a bonfire, a parade, and of course the Homecom ing football game and dance.

Throughout the week, Malad High’s student council sponsored a number of events and activities. Each day had a dress up theme, starting with Mon day’s “Anything but a backpack” day, where students could bring materi

als to school in, well, anything but a backpack. Other themes throughout the week included Disney, Jersey Jam, and Class Color. Activities were held during school each day, such as Goose chase, Spirit Bowl, Pass the Noodle, Frozen Shirt, Lip Synch, and others. Mud Games, Tug of War, Capture the Flag, Relay Races, and other events took place later in the day. After school, Boys Soccer and Volleyball, and Powderpuff Football gave stu dents a chance to compete against each other in time honored grudge matches.

During the week’s point competi tion, the Seniors took first, with 3,825 points from various activities and the Penny Wars; the Sophomores took second with 2,850; the Juniors took third with 2,550, and the Freshman took fourth with 1,500. Penny Wars is a schoolwide competition to raise money for a worthy cause. This year,

the school raised $1,016 through the Penny Wars, which was donated to the family of Brett Rose, who recent ly passed away. The family chose to donate the money back to Malad High School athletics for use to help with pay-to-play fees for students.

After Thursday’s Volleyball game, students assembled at the east side of the football field to witness the mas sive spirit bonfire, and for the chance to swing a sledgehammer at a car do nated by the auto class.

Friday’s parade saw members of the MHS community show off their artistry and spirit as they made their way from the elementary school down to the high school. Floats featuring creative visions of dragons defeating cardinals in a variety of ways were the

Bass Fishing Tournament

Over the weekend, Malad High School’s Bass Fish ing team participated in the second annual Bass Fishing tournament at Devil Creek. After a long morning of fishing, the top 5 catches by each entrant were weighed, resulting in Bryce Jones being named the winner of the tournament, with a 4.32 pound total for his five fish. Dutch Loftis caught the big gest fish, a 1.08 bass.

Bryce Jones, with his boat captain Adam Peterson of Mendan, ended up keeping a total of five fish for weighin, which ended up totaling 4.32 pounds. His second place biggest fish came in at .91 pounds. Asked how he had done during the morning, Jones said, “I spent most of the morn ing catching trout. A lot of trout. Then I switched to the Babybass dropshot and ended up getting some good ones.” Jones took home new tackle, a new rod and reel, and a bunch of bait.

Durth Loftis came in sec ond, with a five fish total of 4.11 pounds. He also land ed the official biggest fish with a 1.08 pound catch.

Loftis also used a dropshot, in his case a Max Scent. “Tell them when you caught your fifth fish,” Tim “Big Dog” Rawlings prompted.

“A little before 2 o’clock,” Loftis laughed. The con test officially ended at three o’clock. Loftis also took home tackle and bait.

The rules of the tourna ment call for contestants to catch up to five fish for weigh-in, with the fish to be kept in a live well until they

are weighed. Contestants lose points for any fish that dies or becomes too listless in the live well before the weigh-in.

Scientists Crash Satellite into Asteroid

Attempting to study the effects of a collision based asteroid avoidance system, NASA crashed a satellite into the twin asteroid Dimorphis, which orbits a larger asteroid named Didy mos. The asteroids are current ly at a distance of 6.8 million miles from Earth, and neither presents any sort of collision threat. NASA will study the changed trajectory of the aster oids to determine how feasible an outer space guided impact collision would be at preventing a space-borne object from strik ing the planet itself.

Hurricane Ian predicted to be a significant and dangerous event

As Hurricane Ian makes its way closer to the coast of Florida, atmospheric scientists are pre dicting that it will make landfall with significant force, and create a dangerous situation across the region. A Category 2 hurri cane on Monday, the system is expected to increase in strength as it continues north. At pres ent, it is being labeled a “nearworst case scenario” for Tampa, and “something we haven’t seen in our lifetimes.” Mandatory evacuations are in place across much of the affected Florida coast. Ian is predicted to hit Cuba on Tuesday.

Utah runner survives 40 foot plunge

Hayden Gurman was jogging alongside a Farmington high way when he attempted to jump through fencing at the edge of the road, assuming it connected to a road surface on the other side. Unfortunately, a gap between the highway and the adjacent road led to a 40 foot fall. Gurman luckily survived the fall, though he experienced significant trauma, with internal bleeding being the most life-threatening medical outcome. The City manager is re-evaluating the signage on the road, which is not an official pedestrian/running path.

Hunters asked to be on lookout for CWD

After recent confirmed cases of Chronic Wasting Disease in Salmon, hunters are being asked to be vigilant for the disease in any kills taken in the area. CWD has not been detected in Idaho for nearly 20 years, during which a vigilant observation program has been in place. Tissue samples can be taken to the Salmon regional offices. Concerns are especially high in Lemhi, Custer, and Idaho counties.

First Case of Monkeypox in SE Idaho

Southeast Idaho Public Health has reported the first confirmed case of the monkeypox virus in Southeast Idaho. Monkeypox is a viral illness that manifests with flu-like symptoms, and eventually fluid-filled bumps that eventually scab over. There have been near ly 25,000 cases of the disease in the U.S. so far reported, though only 12 in Idaho. The disease is spread through contact and can be fatal in rare cases. Anyone experiencing an unexplained rash is encouraged to have it checked out by a health professional.

Continued from front page times at this time of year,” Rawlings said. “The fish are pretty much all the same size, so it’s just a matter of catching the right ones.

The captains all fished for a biggest fish too, just for fun, and even we had a hard time out there. “

Rawlings reported that he had had the most suc cess with the Maniac Minnow lure.

German Loftis took fourfish for a total of 3.09 pounds, with a big gest fish of .86 pounds.

Blake Williams took two fish for 1.43 pounds, with a biggest fish of .77 pounds. Irish Loftis

caught one .83 pound bass. This year’s Ice Fishing champ Tagg Peterson caught five fish for a total of 3.70 pounds. Loftis also took home tackle and bait.

Rawlings thanked ev eryone for their partici pation, and spoke on the value of fishing. “There are a lot of chances to cheat in this sport, but nobody does. Word will get out and ruin you down the road and ev eryone knows it. Even if that wasn’t the case, this is a sport where we all live by a code of hon esty. It’s a great sport for learning values and character, and I’m just glad you guys are all here for it.”

Car Seat Clinic

Last week, the Nell J Redfield Memorial Hos pital, as well as the Idaho Department of Trans portation and Safe Kids Worldwide sponsored the annual Child Safety Car Seat Clinic. Mem bers of the public were encouraged to have their current car seats checked to make sure they met safety standards, and new car seats were dis tributed to those in need of them. By midday, the clinic had seen a number of participants, and was headed toward their gen eral average of between fifteen and twenty.

Certified Car Seat techs Brenda Barney, Donna Potter, and Sally Stocks were on hand to oversee the inspection and instal lation of car seats, along with Jon Everson, Safe Kids liaison from Ban nock county. The Car Seat technician program requires forty hours of training every two years, which is necessary as vehicle and car seat tech nology changes frequent ly. Many people reuse car seats from child to child, which can some times result in improper use by weight or height.

“It’s always good to check as often as you can,” Everson noted.

The program is free

through the Department of Transportation and various agencies. The screening involved a scale and height calibrat er to weigh and measure children for the appropri ate car seats. There were also a variety of car seats on hand to fit different types of vehicles. “De pending on the style of car and different other factors, it can sometimes be a bit of a challenge to find the right fit,” said Sally Stocks.

During the morning and afternoon, the group kept busy with a fairly steady stream of parents and their kids. Toys were on hand to keep kids

busy during the process, which seemed to go a long way. The excite ment of a new seat also went a long way.

“That’s much nicer— the old one pushed her knees up,” said Kay lynne Bell, who came to the clinic to see whether her daughter Jane needed a new car seat. “I hate fighting with car seats! I’m so glad these guys are here doing this,” she said.

Last week was Nation al Child Passenger Safety Week. Jon Everson spent his week making the cir cuit from Idaho Falls through Blackfoot, Bear Lake and Fort Hall in an

effort to spread aware ness about the necessity for appropriate and safe child seating.

Each year, the U.S. experiences 179,000 in juries from car crashes, according to Safe Ride 4 Kids. The National Safe Kids Campaign further suggests that many of those injuries are caused by car seats. According to their statistics, “as many as 4 in 5 car seats are installed incorrectly.”

The techs at the clin ic spent time with each potential seat occupant, making sure that the seat was the appropriate size, that it was installed and anchored correctly, and that it was comfortable to the occupant.

The participants and guests were then all treated to a sloppy joe feast and a chance to

swap fishing stories. The event had numer ous sponsors, including Powell Rods, Dry Creek

Bait, Lucky Strike, Megaware Keelguard, Garmin, Nitro, Triton, Mercury, and others, as

well as the Malad High School Bass Fishing Club and supporters.

Dwight LaVar Williams

Dwight LaVar Williams passed away peacefully at his home in Au burn, California, on September 19, 2022. He was born on August 1, 1943, in Malad, Idaho. He was the eight of nine children in the loving family of John M. and Mary Evans Williams.

Dwight grew up in Malad and graduated from Malad High School. During his high school years, he started working for Erroll Williams at The Millstream Grocery and learned how to cut meat. Dwight talked often of this great mentor and friend. Those skills put him on the path to a fifty-five year career in the meat industry.

Dwight married Jan Quoresimo in 1979 and they lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, and later moved to Cal ifornia. Dwight was honored to be the father of Jeff Williams and Julie (Nord) Sardia and the grandfather of Sarah and Emma Williams and Hai ley and Shelby Sardia.

Dwight will be dearly missed by his loving wife and family, along with brothers and sisters and their families. A celebration of Dwight’s life will be held at a later date.

Helen Jean Harris

January 2, 1926 - September 14, 2022

Helen Jean Harris, age 96, died peacefully on September 14, 2022. Helen was born on January 2, 1926, to Clyde and Laura Bowen of Sa maria, Idaho.

Helen and Jack enjoyed their time visiting Terrace Lakes, entertaining family and friends, playing golf and their beautiful property in Boise.

Helen managed the Boise State Student Union Cafeteria. She learned to cook for the masses, and this carried over into cooking feasts for every family gathering. No one left Helen’s house hungry. (“Are you still hungry kids?”) Helen was crafty and made blankets, clothes, doll clothes and other goodies for all her grandkids.

Her #1 passion in life was her fam ily; she treated everyone like the “fa vorite.” The annual Nieces Weekend was a highlight in her life as well as the annual Bowen Family Reunion. Helen was in heaven going on trips with her Bowen family and loving life being together.

Helen was preceded in death by her parents Clyde and Laura (Re ese) Bowen, husband Jack Harris, son Ronald Harris, brothers Wal ter “Thayne” Bowen, John Bowen, LaVar Bowen (wife Ruth), RenRay

Not recommended for parents and kids

By Dotty Thorpe Evanson aka Gramma Dot

We pray…before meals, at night before bed, with the family… we pray. Abraham Lin coln said, “I have been driven many times to my knees by the over whelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.” I’m glad he rec ognized he needed help to get us back on the moral road. I’ve got to admit our little family needs help, too. So, we pray.

The girls were up to the counter the other

day getting ready to eat some breakfast. I had peaches peeled sitting in front of them and had turned around to get the toast. Hadley started in on her peaches. Elle, seeing a chance to call her sister out, hollers, “We need to pray. I’ll say it, just open your mouth, Hadley.” Evi dently, it was going to be easier for heaven to bless those peaches if her mouth was open.

Now, I’m not sure having the mouth open helped the process, but I am sure an open heart does. I also know not

everyone prays, but I am grateful for the open-mindedness of others who respect my choice to pray. It sounds like “open” is the oper ative word here. Openmouth, open-heart and an open-mind help us all. So, keep it open and enjoy the Good Life and who knows a few of heaven’s blessings just might slip in.

Idaho Falls Author to Discuss Historical Fiction

USA Today Best-Sell ing Author Carla Kelly is speaking in person at the Oneida County Library on Wednesday, October 19 at 7 p.m., according to Kathy Kent, Director. Her subject is “Writing Historical Fiction: How Real Is Real?”

Kelly is known to some in Malad for her years of attendance at the Malad Valley Welsh Festival, where she sells her nov els and Mrs. Kelly’s Novel Hand Cream. She has spoken at the library before, as well. “I al ways like any excuse to come to Malad,” Kelly says. She has also spo ken about writing at the Welsh Festival.

Her favorite subject, the focus of the October 19 visit, is how writers of historical fiction turn their fictional characters into real people. “I could call it ‘product place ment,’” she jokes. “You know, making the ficti tious seem factual by let ting history work for me. Of course, you need to know your history.” She points out that this is not a new technique. “Charles Dickens did it quite well in Tale of Two Cities.”

Kelly will illustrate the factual reality of fic tion with characters from her own books, such as

Courting Carrie in Won derland – a 2017 finalist in Western Writers of American Spur Award competition - and My Living Vigil Keeping, a Whitney Award winner.

She will also discuss her newest book, When We Meet Again, two no vellas – longer than a short story and not quite a novel, she explains –about the home front during World War II. “One of those stories was something I had been thinking about for near ly fifty years,” she says. “Thought it was a good time to finally write it.”

When We Meet Again also represents Kelly’s closest brush with twen ty-first century fiction. She began writing Re gency Romances – think of Jane Austen and the late eighteenth century –for Signet, a New York publishing house now part of Penguin Putnam.

“I still write Regencies occasionally, but I’ve branched out into his torical fiction set in the American West in the lat er part of the nineteenth century, and a series set in the colony of New Mex ico in the 1780s. I like a little variety and there’s plenty of history to go around.”

She has other plans to

write more World War II stories. “My parents were both World War II vet erans of the U.S. Navy, and Dad stayed in the Navy for his career,” she explains. “We grew up hearing of those events.”

Kelly also welcomes questions and comments when she speaks to in terested readers. She also plans to have cop ies of her newer novels and some older favorites to sell to those interest ed and accepts cash or checks.

Kelly is the author of around forty-five novels. She never has kept track of how many short stories she has written. “Many of those are Christmas stories, because I write for two publishers who like those.” She currently writes for four publishers, and her books have been translated into at least 16 languages. “Some are even anime,” she says, “or what I would call comic books. I was a little hesitant when I was asked to do that by Japanese publishers, but my muchmore-savvy children said it was a big deal.”

So far, Kelly is the recipient of two RITA Awards from Romance Writers of America for those early Regen cies, and three Whitney

Awards from Storymak ers, as well as two Spur Awards from Western Writers of America.

Kelly may be a writer, but her degrees are in Lat in American History from BYU-Provo, and a Mas ter’s Degree in the Indian Wars from University of Louisiana-Monroe. “I did take two English classes at BYU, and a later gram mar class at Weber State University,” she says.

She has worked as a public relations writer for a tertiary care hospital in Springfield, Missouri, and a PR coordinator for a hospice in Southwest Missouri. She has taught history at a North Dakota University and worked as a reporter/feature writer for a daily paper in North Dakota. Her favorite job, hands down, was work ing as a seasonal park ranger for the National

Park Service at Fort Lara mie NHS in Wyoming, and Fort Union Trading Post NHS in western North Dakota.

Kelly currently lives in Idaho Falls, Idaho, which as yet, hasn’t been the subject of a novel. “You never know,” she says. “I may get an Idaho Falls idea. That’s the fun of writing fiction.”

Idaho Constitutional Amendment SJR 102

Legislative Council’s Statement of Meaning, Purpose, and Result to Be Accomplished

Currently, the Legislature may meet in a special session only upon call of the Governor. The proposed amendment would allow the Legislature to convene itself in special session if 60% of the members in each house submit a petition to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The petition must specify the subjects to be addressed in the special session, and only those subjects could be considered during the special session.

The amendment also requires the Legislature to hold an organizational session in December following a general election. The purpose of the organizational session is to prepare for the upcoming regular session. The proposed amendment would formalize in the Idaho Constitution the Legislature’s longstanding practice of holding an organizational session.

Statements FOR the Proposed Amendment

1. This constitutional amendment is needed to correct an imbalance of power among the three branches of government. The executive and judicial branches of government have no restrictions on their ability to conduct business when and as they deem appropriate, and the legislative branch should have the same power.

2. Idaho is one of just 12 states whose legislature has no power to convene itself into a special session under certain circumstances. The Idaho Legislature should not be dependent on the Governor to call it into special session when extraordinary events occur. For example, in 2020, the Idaho Legislature wished to convene to consider Covid-19 matters and the expenditure of federal funding related to the pandemic but the Governor delayed convening the Legislature. Idaho should join the 38 states (including all of Idaho’s neighboring states) that recognize the legislative branch of government’s right to determine independently when it should convene and conduct the business of the people it represents.

3. Authorizing the Legislature to convene itself into special session will prevent the need for one or both houses of the Legislature to defer adjourning sine die indefinitely as happened in 2021 when the House of Representatives wanted to preserve its right to take up anticipated issues later in the year. Deferring the date of adjourning sine die results in numerous administrative problems such as delaying effective dates of legislation and administrative rules. If the Legislature is able to convene itself, there will be no need to avoid adjourning sine die.

4. The proposed amendment contains sufficient safeguards against any potential abuse of power by limiting the subjects of legislation to be considered during a special session to those listed in the petition, just as a

SCHOOL MENU

special session called by the Governor is limited to the subjects listed in the Governor’s proclamation.

Statements AGAINST the Proposed Amendment

1. The Legislature has conducted its business for over 130 years without needing the ability to call itself into special session. This constitutional amendment is not necessary because the Governor has called and can continue to call the Legislature into a special session when necessary. Passing this amendment would remove a check and balance from the Idaho Constitution.

2. The Idaho Legislature is a part-time citizen legislature. The proposed amendment provides no limitations on how often special sessions may be called or how long they may last. Idaho should not move toward having a fulltime legislature, and Idaho’s part-time citizen legislators with other careers should not be burdened with sudden, unpredictable special sessions.

3. Idaho businesses and citizens need the stable, predictable, and routine timeline of the regular legislative session to communicate with legislators regarding the effects that pending legislation may have on businesses and citizens. The ability of the Legislature to convene itself into various special sessions may result in the passage of legislation that has not been properly vetted and could result in unintended consequences for Idaho businesses and citizens.

4. The proposed amendment requires a petition signed by only 60% of the members of each house of the Legislature. This threshold is too low. Many states require a higher percentage, such as 67% or 75%. A higher percentage would deter the Legislature from convening itself for subjects that may be trivial, vague, or not widely agreed upon.

Amendment Text

Section 8. SESSIONS OF THE LEGISLATURE.

(1) The regular sessions of the legislature must be held annually at the capital of the state, commencing on the second Monday of January of each year, unless a different day shall have been appointed by law, and at other times in extraordinary sessions when convened by the governor and in organizational sessions commencing on the first Thursday of December after the general election, unless a different day shall have been appointed by law.

(2) The legislature, while remaining a part-time, citizen legislature, must also be convened in special session by the president pro tempore of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives upon receipt of a joint written petition of at least sixty percent of the membership of each house, specifying the subjects to be considered. Such special session must commence no later than fifteen days after the petition is received by the president pro tempore of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives. At a special session convened pursuant to this section, the legislature shall have no power to consider or pass any bills or resolutions on any subjects other than those specified in the petition and those necessary to provide for the expenses of the session.

Fiber

Fiber is a carbohydrate that cannot be broken down within our bodies, therefore we dispose of it in our output naturally.A diet rich in fiber can help keep us regulated (not constipated), bulk up stools, regulate blood glucose (blood sugar) levels, lower cholesterol, and provide us with much needed energy. The recommended daily intake of fiber is 25-30 grams/day. Foods high in fiber include beans, whole grains, berries, and apples!

October 27 is APPLE DAY

Apples are an easy-to-find fruit in Southeast Idaho during the Fall months. Local pumpkin patches will often offer fresh pressed cider and apple products. Applesauce and apple butter are quick and easy to prepare, and offer tons of fiber and vitamin C (1 medium sized apple = 4 grams of fiber and about 15% of daily recommended vitamin C intake).

Apple Sauce

• 4 apples of your choice, peeled, cored, and cubed ½ cup sugar (or sugar substitute)

• ½ cup water

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Place all ingredients in a me dium-size pot and simmer for 15-20 min. Mash with a potato masher to desired consistency. Enjoy!

Apple Butter

• 6 medium sized apples of your choice, peeled, cored, and cubed ½ cup sugar

• ½ cup brown sugar

• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 2 tsp salt

• 1 tsp salt

Place all ingredients into a medium sized pot and simmer on medium-low for 30min or until apples are tender. Smash

with a potato masher to desired consistency.

• Serve sauce or butter on top of ice cream, pudding, toast, cottage cheese, melted brie, etc

• Rather than using a pot, a slow cooker can also be used at "low" setting for 8-9 hours

• Store apple butter in an air tight container for up to 10 days or freeze up to 9 months!

The regular monthly meeting of the Oneida School Board was held on Tuesday, September 20. Under the direction of Vice-Chair Chalae Teeples, the Board vot ed for Shane Howard to fill the Zone 3 vacancy on the Board that oc curred when Kirk Wil lie resigned. The Board voted for Brent Evanson to be the new Chair of the Board as Kirk had served as the Chair.

Darrell Tripp, District Maintenance Super visor, was honored as the first “Employee of the Month” for the new school year, primarily for his work on prepar ing for the laying of the new track. (See accom panying article.)

Building Plans

According to Mr. Abrams, the bid propos al for a new elementary school will be let in Feb ruary with the bond elec tion held in March. Be cause the School District has its share of money for a new school already in the bank, property taxes will NOT be af fected by patrons vot ing “YES” on the bond. A bond election has to be held to activate the matching funds provid ed by the State’s Bond Equalization Formula. The bond will include several smaller projects, such as new baseball and softball diamonds. The bond will be for three years, not the usual 20 or 30 years. The build ing project should start in April.

Mr. Abrams is anx ious to meet with pa

trons who have concerns about the building of a new elementary school and encourages anyone with questions to contact him. More information will be in future Enter prise articles.

The bid from Idaho Materials to demolish the old high school was accepted by the Board. The cost will be approx imately $581,415 with the job expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Student Activities

Superintendent Jon Abrams suggested that the Board consider us ing Pay-to- Play funds to pay the expenses for students to go to State tournaments and com petitions. For students in organizations that do not have Pay-to-Play, students would pay the difference between their organizational dues and the District’s Pay- toPlay fee.

The Board voted 3-1 to approve a request for a Gender Sexuality Al liance Club at Malad High School. Student Jaden Davis had previ ously proposed such an organization and, after rewriting the purpose and goals of the organi zation, as requested by the Board, brought the proposal back before the Board. According to information provided by Jaden, the purpose of the GSA Club “is to work towards a more accepting environment for all students, regard less of sexual orienta tion or gender identity through support, social

emotional learning, and belonging. Through our activities, we aim to reduce any feelings of isolation and depression that students may expe rience, as well as create opportunities for leader ship and growth.” Krista Karn will be the club’s adviser.

Principal Reports

Stone Elementary School: Mr. Abrams reported that Jeannie Reeder will be assisting him with administrative duties at Stone School. She has taught in Park Valley and Snowville and so knows the area. He said that he was im pressed with how par ents have prepared their students for kindergar ten in Stone. During the summer, new carpet was installed, and the bath rooms were remodeled.

Malad Elementary School: Principal Sarah McIntyre reported that there are 390 students in the school this fall along with 5 new teach ers and 3 new staff. The motorcycle rally held to benefit the school raised about $1300. The Pres ton Elks Club gave the school new dictionar ies. The Dragon Leader program is involving more students than ever before. Interventions are being provided for 83 students by Title I aides. Halloween will be celebrated the Thursday before October 31 to cut down on the distractions of the holiday.

Malad Middle School: Principal Robert Hannah was not present. How ever, his written report

stated that Spirit Week is underway and that fall sports are going well.

Malad High School: Vice-Principal Kory Kay reported that the track project is going well. This is Homecom ing Week, and most ac tivities have gone well thus far. The greenhouse project was one of the options for Malad’s Day of Service, and a lot of work was accomplished on it. Board member Brandon Ward suggest ed than a professional contractor or architect be involved in the proj ect because a lot of work has been done that will eventually have to be re done. A digital program has been implemented to track students who are inclined to skip class. Another program has been implemented to check on vaping and the use of other illicit sub stances.

Idaho Home Learn ing Academy (IHLA): Administrator Terri Sorensen reported that IHLA has over 7000 students enrolled (6323 in grades K-8 and 677 in grades 9-12). A grant from the Rocky Moun tain Power Foundation will provide math and science simulated lab experiences for students. One of the challenges facing IHLA this year is the state requirement that all testing (IRI, ISAT, dyslexia) be done face to face.

Personnel

The following per sonnel were approved, pending their pass ing the State-mandat

ed background check: Abrielle Goddard as a Malad Middle School special education aide; Clint Price as a MMS volunteer football and wrestling coach; Caleen Pickett as a MMS vol unteer girls’ basketball coach; Bayla Tripp as a Malad High School volunteer volleyball coach; Claire Hughes as a MHS part-time spe cial education aide; Joe Miller as a MHS junior varsity girls’ basketball coach; Jacklin Romero as a Stone School parttime cook; Sierra Black as a Malad Elementary School part-time cus todian; Tyson Marsden as an ISU speech and learning program stu

dent to work with Shay na Waldron; Rebecca Jones as an administra tor for the Idaho Home Learning Academy (also approved for alternative authorization for content specialist); and Gloria Evans, Laurie Richins, Jeff Richins, Theodore Bennett, Angellena Jaca way and Amber Abrams as substitute teachers.

Due to a conflict with a regional Idaho School Board Association meet ing that will be attended by several Board mem bers and Mr. Abrams, the October School Board meeting will be on Wednesday (not Tuesday), October 19.

Oneida County Pioneer Museum Year-End Report

The Oneida Pioneer Muse um continues to rebound from the pandemic, hosting 100 visitors more than in 2021. The Museum opened on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend with its annual Bake Sale and closed on Labor Day. Shelia Williams Hawkins and Kristle Jensen worked as host esses with most Board mem bers each working at least one day during the summer.

The Museum had 743 vis itors sign the guest register. Because only one member of a group or family usually signs the guest register, the Museum likely hosted close to 900 visitors. Some visitors do not indicate their city or state when they sign in. Most visi tors from out of town came to the Museum because they saw the signs on the freeway.

During the Malad Valley Welsh Festival, nearly 170 visitors toured the Muse um. Memorial Day weekend brought over 70 visitors to the Museum to see new exhibits and to buy goodies at the bake sale. In addition, the 3rd grade classes of Malad Elementary School toured the Museum in May, and a Young Women’s group toured in August. The local camp of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers holds its monthly meetings at the Mu seum except during the sum mer.

As shown on the following table, visitors from Malad and Oneida County accounted for 231 of the visitors who signed in. Nearly 120 visitors came from other places in Idaho. The rest of the visitors came from 24 states (not including Idaho) with nearly 260 com ing from Utah. For the first time since the pandemic, the Museum hosted visitors from other countries (New Zealand and Peru).

The following table indi cates the number of visitors during the months when the Museum was officially open in 2022, compared to past

years:

Other visitors made ap pointments to tour the Muse um during the months when it is closed.

A favorite activity at the Museum this year was a Seek-and-Find game creat ed by Hailey Sweeten. Kids could take a page of pictures of items in the Museum and find them, receiving a piece of candy as a reward.

The window display com mittee of Dotty Evanson, Sha ron Harris, Janice Vaughan, Hailey Sweeten and Liz Kent created the summer exhibit that featured “Quilting, Min ing, and Music in Wales.” The Welsh quilt created by the Quilters Guild and a large Welsh flag provided the back drop for the window displays.

The smaller display win dow featured Samaria’s leg end of The Mine with the Iron Door, including a “skeleton,” a bank vault door, and “gold.” Visitors could read about the legend and consider going to search for the gold in the cave that has never been found since Glispy Waldron origi nally discovered it.

The seventh annual “Friends of the Museum” campaign had another successful year with 92 supporters of the Museum donating money to assist the Museum in its efforts to pre serve the history of Malad and Oneida County. The names of the donors at each level (An nual, Handcart, Covered Wag on and Stagecoach) are on a plaque in the Museum. Be cause of some very generous donations, another level was added: Steam Engine.

The Museum receives annu al allocations from Malad City and Oneida County that allow the Museum to hire hostesses and to pay for operation of the HVAC system.

Funded by grants from the Idaho Heritage Trust and the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation, the fabric preser vation project was completed.

May

JoAnn Peters, an instructor at BYU-Idaho who teaches the history of fabrics and who has worked on clothing pres ervation projects in museums in Butte, Montana, and Ida ho Falls, Idaho, spent nine weekends in Malad, repairing, tagging and preparing for ar chival storage over 200 items of clothing plus shoes, purses and hats. She also prepared the Museum’s collection of quilts for safe storage. Now those fabric collections can be easily rotated for displays throughout the Museum. Brianne MacDougal, grand daughter of Norm Jaussi, worked with JoAnn as an in tern as part of her academic program at BYU-Idaho. Sarah Robbins has taken over the final part of the project that requires the sewing of dust covers for the last 40 items of clothing in preparation for storage in a room on the third floor of the Museum. Sarah is collaborating with Lucie Thomas Washburn in making the dust covers.

Besides preparing a clean storage room for the clothing collection on the third floor, J.D. Thomas installed large bolts and plates on the top floor to earthquake-proof the building. J.D. was surprised to find that some rudimentary earthquake damage preven tion was done on this building that dates back to 1914.

A side benefit of the fab ric preservation project was the identification of several furs in the collection. Besides identifying fur coats, cloaks and collars, local taxidermist Sid Lewis worked with his

Donors will be asked to sign a Memorandum of Own ership to transfer permanent ownership to the Museum. All donations must be identified as to owner, use and relation ship to Oneida County.

Farm Vehicles on the Road—Stay Alert

By Allison Eliason

Anyone watching the news over the last few weeks, will have seen several stories of road way accidents involv ing farm equipment. It’s that harvest time of year when farms around the state are bringing in this season’s hard earned crops. Trucks bring var ious grains, beets and potatoes from the field to the farm or from the farm to the process ing plant, the mill, bins or cellars to be stored. Other farm equipment like tractors and com bines are frequenting the roads more these days as they move between the various fields ready for harvest. While they may seem like just one more vehicle on the road, drivers should take ex tra consideration as they share the roadways with farm equipment.

Most accidents involv ing farm equipment hap pen when other drivers become too impatient with slow moving vehi cles. It’s true, it can be a real inconvenience to get stuck behind a slow moving tractor but they are going slow for a rea son. That reason is they are trying to be safe.

By nature, farm equip ment is heavy. Whether it is a big green tractor, a truck full of spuds or

a semi filled with grain, they are just heavy and as a result, you will find them moving slower as they go along the road, here’s why.

The first and most simple reason that farm equipment moves slow ly down the roadway is because they aren’t de signed to move quick ly, they are designed to move powerfully. What I mean is that their big engines are designed to produce a lot of torque or power to pull and work the implements they use. Their high torque and low gears mean that most tractors max out anywhere from 15 mph to 40 mph.

The need for heavy farm equipment to move slowly down the road way is largely due to physics. Not to get too nerdy, but understand ing some of those laws of nature will help us understand why it's im portant to slow things down. First, let’s talk about Isaac Newton’s first law of motion- ob jects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an exter nal force. The heavier the object, say a truck hauling beets, the great er the force it will take to change its motion, or in this case, stop it. If that heavy truck is going slower, it will need less

force, less time and less distance to come to a safe stop.

That heavy vehicle is going slow for an other reason and that is to avoid tipping over, especially on turns. Physics and its laws of centrifugal force and in ertia teach us that there are three main factors that contribute to over turned equipment- the equipment’s center of gravity, its load stabil ity and its speed. The heavier the equipment, the higher the center of gravity which increas es the chances of tip ping. The greater the instability the more the weight shifts and throws off that center of gravi ty, again, increasing the chance of tipping. Both of these factors are hard to control, but speed is something completely in control of the driver. So farmers slow down to take those turns safely.

You don’t always have to suffer going behind a slow vehicle. When the time is right, it’s totally cool to pass that slow moving combine but there are some things to keep in mind as you do so. Some equipment is extra wide and hanging into the other lane. It’s important to wait to pass until the driver knows you are there and can scoot over for both your

sakes.

Pay attention to when trucks and equipment are turning off of the road to be sure you aren’t passing them at just the wrong time. Most farm equipment will need to make wide turns regard less of what way they are turning and if you go to pass them, just as they are swinging across you are mixing up a recipe for disaster. No matter what sort of rush you are in, its better to just wait for the other vehicle to turn off the road.

Finally, don’t pass if conditions aren’t safe to do so. If it is dusty and difficult for drivers to see you or for you to see any oncoming traffic,

it is safer to wait than to risk it. Additionally, wait to pass until you are in a legal passing zone. When given the chance, most tractor operators will pull over to let traf fic pass.

There may be times you want to avoid get ting stuck behind that slow moving truck and you think you can quick ly get out ahead of it, but that line of thinking comes with its own risks as well. Remember that a loaded down truck will take much longer to slow down than a normal ve hicle. If you pull out and aren’t going fast enough, there is a real possibility that the truck is going to rear end you or drive off

the road to avoid hitting you. In a car vs tractor or loaded truck crash, the car will always lose.

It's important to real ize that everyone has a part to play in farm safe ty, even if you never step foot on a farm. Idaho is a proud ag producing state, leading the coun try in some of its prized crops. We can all take part to make it a safe harvest if we patiently share the road with those vehicles that make it possible to bring harvest in and food to all our families. The harvest season may be coming to a close soon, but now is no time to put the rush on things.

Accidents involving farm vehicles are common, but easily preventable

The Idaho State Distin guished Young Woman Pro gram will be hold on Friday and Saturday, October 5, 6 and 7 at the Idaho Falls Civic Auditorium.

As Malad's Distinguished Young Woman, MaCall, the daughter of Dustin and Chris tine Smith, will be participat ing in the state program. She will leave for Idaho Falls on Sunday, October 1 where she will stay with a host family for the week as she practices each day for the program. Even though she will be working hard, she will also be having a lot of fun and meeting girls from 36 other communities in Idaho who will also be partic ipating in the program.

Betty Jones will mark her 90th birthday this Sunday, October 1, 2017. The family will gather to celebrate Betty's birthday on Saturday, October 14. Friends are invited to visit with Betty between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. on October 14 at the Malad High School Com mons.

Besides raising three sons, Terry (Marsha); Barnard "Nard" (Deberra) and Arne (Cathie), Betty was an ear ly pioneer of girls' sports in southeastern Idaho, responsi ble for starting the girls' track and girls' volleyball programs at Malad High School. Jordan Pope, a senior at Malad High School, is pulling double duty this season as one of the Lady Dragons' Soccer team's key players as well as the field goal kicker for the Malad Dragons football team.

Jordan has been playing soccer for as long as she can remember. "My mom was in search of a local club team for soccer, and as soon as she found one, I began playing

An opening on the football team became available for a kicker, and several players had tried out, but they didn't have the accuracy that Coach Rick Driessen was looking for in a field goal kicker. He sought outside help to fill the vacancy. Coach Driessen ap proached his dad Ted Driessen who is the Malad High School Girls' soccer coach and asked him if any of his girls had a leg that could kick field goals for the football team. Jor dan's name was brought up. The coaches took Jordan to the football field to see if she could kick, and she made 10 out of 10 kicks from 10 yards out. "I thought they just want ed me to do the kicking." Jor dan said. They moved the ball further back, and she was able to make most of those kicks as well. "She can hit between the goal posts at 37 yards hash to hash. Not a lot of players have the accuracy that she does. She's a hard worker and puts in a lot of time practicing." Coach Driessen commented. 10 YEARS AGO (2012)

Emergency training exer cises were held on Septem ber 21 which involved armed suspects entering the Malad High School early on a school morning. The scenario includ ed several injured school staff and law enforcement.

Commissioner Bob Christophersen, At torney Cody Brower, and County Clerk Lon Colton were all absent due to other commit ments.

Event Center

Commissioner Elia son suggested that the rain gutters of the Event Center needed to be cleaned, as the runoff was currently blocked from making its way out of the rain spout. Trees limbs, leaves, and a broken rain gutter were creating problems. Tory Richardson was contacted for the main tenance.

Green light for Veterans Gene Caldwell and Gary White spoke to the commission to answer some questions about the project for the Na tional Organization of Counties called “Opera tion Green Light”. The organization is promot ing an observation of Operation Green Light from November 7-13 to honor veterans by asking for a declaration of observation and the support from the county and city to make green lights available for the community as a visible display of support. The proclamation encourag es citizens to display a green light in places of business or their resi dence. Commissioner Lewis suggested that the Scouting organiza tion might be the best avenue for supplying and providing green lights to those who were interested. A motion was made to support the Operation Green Light initiative for November 7-13th for this year, and passed. It was deter mined that the Scouts would contact the le gion to arrange details for the lightbulb distri bution. Anyone in the city and county should feel free to install their own lights beyond what becomes available from the county.

Building Department Official

Commissioner Lewis discussed the designa tion of a building depart ment. Tory Richardson, current Building Inspec tor, has been designated to take on the oversee ing of the newly formed Building department. He will be in charge of improved maintenance of the county’s build ings. This will create a minimum of an addi tional ten hours a week for the position in order to maintain the facil ities. The county felt that there was a need

for a more consistent, centralized system for maintaining and re pairing its buildings throughout the county.

1000 S new road to 300 E Doug Crowther re ported on the progress of the new Hess lumber facility south of town. A survey of the origi nal deed to the property was presented, which showed the new road running alongside the property to the south. As a result of a poten tially incorrect survey, the road markers are not in alignment with the current road. Hess Pum ice would like to make a boundary agreement to rectify the usable boundaries. A transfer of deeds between Hess and the county will need to happen in order to formally adjust the property line. The com mission motioned to re draw the property line to accurately reflect the boundary and pay the survey cost.

Airport Board report

Mike Hess and Rox anne Albretson spoke to the commission on behalf of the Airport Board. A well on the east side of the han gar has had a pump in stalled. The airport is planning to install a me ter and charge hangar owners for a hookup fee to the well. A number of hangar owners have expressed interest in the water hookup. The air port will need to add the $1,000 hookup fee to their contract with the county. The commis sion approved motions to allow for that change, and to add an arrange ment to share utility costs among hangar us ers.

Hess also discussed winter maintenance for the airport. The largest need for seasonal main tenance was deemed to be the clearing of the runway. The possibility of county snow remov al trucks being used to clear the snow from the runway was discussed. Timing for the county’s snowplowing was men tioned as an issue. The county trucks prioritize the plowing of school bus routes during the morning hours. The airport is required to notify the Air Traffic if its runways will not be safe or accessible, so a clear schedule would be necessary. Ultimately, the airport would like to acquire a second-hand loader or more versatile piece of heavy equip ment.

Runway update. Re

quests for reimburse ment of $1,929,662.57 from the granting agen cy to cover the funds for the new runway have been submitted. At the end of the process, the airport ended up with a bit over $2,000. The new runway has signifi cantly improved both the quality and safety of the airport facility.

Electrical power to each hangar is now indi vidually metered. Hess suggested that he would like to combine the three county meters at the airport into one.

300 E and 1000 S roads

Dianna Dredge spoke to the commission about the city’s annexing of the road for new sub divisions off of 300 E to 1000 S. Dredge ex plained that the coun ty granting ownership of the adjacent roads would free the county of oversight responsibility for granting driveway permits and other build ing code issues regulat ing the new develop ments. Some questions about whether a formal hearing process was re quired in order to com plete a vacation of the road were raised, as well as the need for a clear er verification that the city was interested in acquiring the roadway into its inventory. The commission expressed the opinion that the va cation process could not be moved forward with until County Attorney Cody Brower was con sulted on the matter.

Brad Hess; clarifica tion of requirements for project Brad Hess spoke to the commission about the remaining require ments for his develop ment, Idahome estates. The Planning and Zon ing commission had re quested some additions to the project which were determined to have been incorrectly articu lated. A second review led to a recommenda tion to move the plat to the county commission with a few elements to be completed before final approval. The el ements were addressed, according to Brad Hess, and included curb di mensions, clerical ad justments, and other re

quests. The engineers had also requested proof of sufficient wa ter supplies for the de velopment. Hess’ main concern was receiving clarification from the Board of County Com missioners what was re quired from them to suf ficiently prove the water situation. One of the methods for checking the water supply was a collection of drill logs from surrounding wells, which Hess presented. The logs showed an av erage depth of 42 feet. Commissioners Eliason and Lewis suggested that they would like the input of a water expert in order to determine whether it was sufficient for a development of the suggested size. Hess expressed frustration about the process, which he wished to finalize with the commission it self. The commission is also interested in bring ing the matter to resolu tion, but felt that with out the input of Cody Brower they were not in a position to pass a final authorization. In the in terests of trying to move the process forward to a conclusion, Hess agreed to a meeting between with the commissioners and the attorney in order to finalize the process.

Old 191 Vacation/Val idation of road sections

Dianna Dredge also spoke to the commis sion about the potential vacation of sections of road along Old High way 191. As a result of the newer 191 route, there are several isolat ed sections of the old road that are not con nected to other county roads, though they are used by landowners. The commission as serted that the priority was in making sure that those who need access to the properties were able to maintain it what ever else might happen. The issue of who exact ly to vacate the roads to was also raised. The commission took the issue under advisement for future consideration.

Pathology

Agreement with Ada County

Currently, Oneida county has an agreement with Ada County for pa

thology services. This means that when a cause of death needs to be in vestigated, the deceased is transported to Boise for the pathology inves tigation. In the future, Bannock County hopes to provide the same ser vice much more locally.

A motion to accept the arrangement with Ada County in the meantime was passed.

Law Enforcement

Policy renewal

Sheriff Jones spoke to the commission about the renewal of the uni versal policy manual for all law enforcement in the state of Idaho. The contract allows for the SO to maintain a sub scription to the policy manual. The commis sioners signed the con tract following the ap proval of a motion to do so.

Compaction testing for cement and asphalt/elevator project

Chairman Lewis pre sented information about the ongoing eleva tor project at the court house. A firm named Utah Testing and Engi neering provided a list of testing that will be re quired to be performed outside the contractor’s fee. Several tests have been performed, includ ing those of the compac tion of concrete at the foundation of the ADA compliant elevator. The charge for the concrete testing comes to $1,096.

A motion to accept and pay the fee was passed.

Excess property disposal

The commission asked departments throughout the county for a list of items that

needed to be disposed of at auction. Excess county property is legal ly required to be offered up at auction before it is remaindered. Office items can be reallocated throughout the county, but any items over $250 must be placed into an open auction. A reso lution will be required to move forward with placing the county’s fi nal list of items with auctioneer Lynn Living ston for 10% of the sale proceeds. The county will pay all advertis ing expenses associated with the auction.

HVAC unit for annex building

Two years ago, an HVAC unit at the an nex building failed. It was discovered at the time that an additional unit was still function al, though not very ef ficient. At the time, a decision was made to replace only one of the units. Chairman Lewis presented a proposal to acquire a second unit. A motion to approve As pen Air’s installation of a furnace and removing the old unit at a cost of $9,300 was made, with $4,650 put down under the 2022 budget for the Annex, and the rest on the 2023 budget.

MHS VB gets Homecoming win over Soda Springs

The buzz and excite ment of Homecoming 2022 carried throughout the week and was kept ablaze as the Lady Drag ons dominated their vol leyball game, Thursday, September 22, against the Soda Springs Cardinals, in a sweep, 3 sets to 0.

The MHS volleyball team had played and won against the Cardinals earlier in the season at the West Jefferson tour nament. There, they got a good look at what the team looked like, to see their strengths and weak nesses. As they prepared for their upcoming face off, they knew they had it in them to win, but nevertheless worked to bring their best game that Thursday night.

The first set began with Malad jumping to a quick 4-0 lead over the Cardinals. After winning the serve, Adley Kimber ling started with an ace and the Lady Dragons play went up from there. Soda Springs managed points here and there, but couldn’t keep up with Malad’s strong play. Even when they did bring their attack, the Lady Dragon’s were quick and scrappy to pick up the ball.

Hallie Horsley not only saved the ball with

a quick dive, but came back for a kill after Brylee Oglesbee set her up from a pass as she kept the save alive. Kimberling’s quick reactions saved the ball from getting lost in the net as she popped it up with Oglesbee pushing it over for the kill. As the ball tripped over the net, Ri glee Petersen kept it alive with a quick dig, sending it back over to their op ponents and later win ning the point. The Lady Dragons won the first set, 25-12.

Once again, Malad came out to a quick lead as the second set began. Soda Springs came with a little more intensity in the second set, but still no match for the Lady Dragons. As the Car dinals managed to get more swings and more hits, the MHS back row was ready and able to dig up their attacks and give their own hitters a chance to swing and get the kill.

Several members of the Malad volleyball team earned digs against Soda Springs, with Journie Tovey leading out with 13 digs, Kimberling with 12, and Petersen with 9. The final point of the set went to Malad, winning 25-14.

With two sets won, Malad didn’t let up as

HOMECOMING

they began the third and final set of the match. The Lady Dragons came out with their best hitting of the game, bringing the heat from every position at the net. Outside hit ter Horsley, led the team with kills, earning 17 kills throughout the game, followed by outside hit ter Petersen with 9, mid dle Camia Bean with 5, middle Abby Rosenquist with 3 and opposite hit ter Kaitlyn Pickett with 2. The team picked up some big blocks throughout the night as well, Rosenquist leading the night with 5 blocks with Kimberling, Pickett and Izzy Haycock picking up 3 each. Bean scored the final point of the night for the Lady Dragons, pushing the ball to the Cardinals back line that couldn’t be recovered to end the game, 25-12.

Coach Camie Tripp commented that they were ready to play and, more importantly, ready to win that night. Over the season she has continued to notice how the team is growing individually and as a team. As they contin ue to bring their best play to the game, it will be ex citing to see just how far the Lady Dragons will go this season.

Malad Soccer bests

After their intense and tough home game against American Falls, the Malad soccer team took to the road to play Aberdeen on their own turf, Tuesday, Septem ber 20. The MHS soccer team had been looking forward to their match up against the Tigers, a game ending in Malad’s favor.

Many might not know that Malad has a rela tively young soccer pro gram compared to many other schools in the area. The team was creat ed just over five years ago and although they play as the Malad High School Dragons, the team isn’t affiliated with the school but is instead a club team.

Although the Lady Dragons prove it isn’t impossible to begin a program when there are players and coaches ready and willing, many other 2A schools are un able to put together their own soccer teams. Of

the usual 2A district 5 teams, Malad and Ab erdeen are the only two schools with soccer pro grams, requiring them to play up in a conference with larger, more experi enced soccer teams.

The MHS team hit the field ready for play and hoping to earn their first win of the season. Over the season, the young team has continued to improve on those foun dational skills that even tually gave them the upper hand over Tigers. As they settled into their game, working to cover the field well, making better passes and earning possession of the ball, they not only kept pace with their opponents, but managed to pull ahead on the scoreboard.

Freshman forward, Bayli Nesbit, found the goal twice for the Lady Dragons to help them win their first victory, 2-1. As Nesbit scored the first goal, she found herself one on one with

Aberdeen’s goalie. She managed to dribble passed the goalie to get a clear shot at the goal and put Malad’s first points on the scoreboard.

Later in the game, Nesbit had possession of the ball but was up against two Tiger de fenders as she moved towards the goal. After getting passed the de fense, she once again maneuvered around the goalie to send in another straight shot for another Dragon goal.

Malad’s own goalie, Bailey Sweat, played a tough game in the nets, keeping the Tigers to only a single score throughout the game.

The Lady Dragons are in the midst of their final week of the regular sea son with games against Marsh Valley, Snake River and Aberdeen at home for their Senior night. District game play will begin Monday, October 3.

BROTHERS OF STEEL Brothers of Steel Begin Season

The Brothers of Steel are starting their next season of wrestling. Five of the teammates traveled to Denver to com pete in the Cosmic Clash. The Cosmic Clash is a wrestling tournament that wrestlers wear glow in the dark singlets and compete under black lights. It is an extremely exciting tournament that has over 1500 wrestlers competing from all over the country. All five of the Broth ers of Steel earned medals at the tour nament. Drake Morrison won the 15u 137lb bracket. Bentley Maddox won the 9u 89lb bracket. Oakley Maddox took true 2nd in the 13u 123lb bracket. Rust in Montgomery took 3rd in the 9u 89lb bracket and Kyler Blaisdell took 4th in the 7u 54lb bracket. “We are excited to get the season off to a great start. It is going to be an exciting season with a lot of fun tournaments and great wrestling.”

The Dragons took on the Soda Springs Cardi nals for Homecoming. Following the return of the gameball drop from a low flying airplane, the game kicked off with the Dragons receiving. Af ter a great start, with the first touchdown coming within the first seven teen seconds, the game became a more gruel ing affair. Soda Springs tied the game up with a touchdown of their own with 9:12 left in the first, followed by a blocked PAT attempt.

Despite strong mo ments on both sides of

the ball, again featur ing stops by Ryan Hub bard, Sawyer Poulson, Braylen Tripp, Jaden Ward, and the whole line, the Cardinals offense continued to put points on the board throughout the first quarter, which ended 6-14.

Kole Willie specifical ly had a number of im pressive runs in the sec ond quarter, though the offense was unable to convert, ending at 6-22 for the halftime break.

Halftime featured the combined dance efforts of the Dragonettes and the Cheeleaders, as well

as the introduction of the Homecoming royalty.

The third and fourth quarters saw the Car dinals continue to put up points, though MHS scored a touchdown with 3:50 left in the third on a pass to Ryan Hubbard from Jaden Ward. The final MHS touchdown of the game was recorded by Brady Showell. The final score was 18-49.

Although they had a number of great of fensive and defensive spurts, a short-staffed MHS didn’t have quite the firepower to take out the Cardinals.
