Oneida County Deputies

The local law enforce ment support organization, the Oneida County Depu ties, is dedicated to serving as a public support system for area law enforcement.

Since its inception, the group has sought to pro mote a close relationship between citizens of the community and the various law enforcement and emer gency services that keep it safe. When the Deputies meet, they use the opportu nity to learn more about the operations of those services.

Last week, the group was given an overview of the Fire station and its facilities in conjunction with Nation al Fire Prevention Month. The group was given the same basic tour as the tra ditional elementary school

tour that kids are given during October, along with some additional details.

The Deputies met at the Fire Station at noon for pizza from the Pizza Stop.

Arne Jones began the meet ing by providing a report from the Sheriff’s Office.

Jones reported that the dis patchers were fielding up to 1800 calls a week, with 90-100 new investigations.

Currently, the county has ten people currently incar cerated (in Caribou county). Those incarcerations have mostly been due to proba tion violations and drug offenses. The Sheriff also reported that an increased

FFA Auction Fundraiser brings in thousands to support program

Oneida County is known for many things, but two that stand out are its com munity generosity and its long agricultural tra dition. Those two things came together on Monday as the local FFA held an auction fundraiser to sup port its various programs, such as travel, Career De velopment, and classroom learning. The auction, which was fueled by con tributions from dozens of local and regional donors, as well as material made by FFA members itself brought in over two hun dred bidders, well-wish ers, and supporters. The

event brought in several thousand dollars.

The event was held at the Oneida County Event Center from 6:00 p.m. to around 9:00 p.m., with a dinner of sloppy joes served by the FFA mem bers themselves. The members were also on hand to walk the items through the crowd during the bidding. Auctioneer Roger Stockwell noted that he was happy to see so many people there ready to bid. FFA Advisor Lexie Evans stated "our chapter is growing and I'm excited to see the wonderful things in store for Malad FFA!"

Death Toll Rises from Florida Hurricane

As of Tuesday, the official death toll from Hurricane Ian in Florida reached 102. The majority of the deaths have been reported in Lee county. Four additional deaths were reported in North Caroli na. Many residents of the island communities off the coast have been cut off from the mainland, and hundreds of thousands of people are still without electricity. More than 1,900 people have been rescued as of Monday. One report states that “alligators are running around” in many of the cutoff island areas, which were mostly evacuated.

Cheating Scandal at Ohio fishing Tournament

Over the weekend, a team of fish ermen at the Lake Erie Walleye Tournament were discovered to have added weights to their catch in order to edge up their weight totals. Officials weighing in the fish quickly realized that the fish were nearly twice the expected weigh for walleyes of their size, and opened them up to reveal that lead weighs had been inserted into the fish’s stomachs to increase their weight. The pair have been banned for life from the tournament, and presumably any other tournament they might hope to enter. The prize for the contest was nearly $29,000.

Tax rebates being sent out to Idaho residents

Following last month’s special session of the Idaho legisla ture, tax rebate checks have been issues for residents who filed Idaho taxes in 2020 and 2021. The commission is issuing rebates in the order it received 2021 income tax returns, with about 75,000 going out weekly. The rebate amount is $300 for individual filers, and $600 for joint filers (or 10% of 2020’s income taxes, whichever is higher). The process should be completed by March of next year, but filers can check the status of their return at tax.idaho.gov/rebate.

at the Heritage Harvest Festival

Life starts all over again when Fall ap proaches. Autumn marks the start of a time of year of get-togethers, tradi tions and sense of com munity. Fall desserts, autumn leaves, baked goods, and pumpkins are all part of why we love fall. In Malad Valley, the unmistakable chill is now in the air. While summer can be way too hot, win ter too cold, the weather this weekend at the Her itage Harvest Festival will be just right. Event organizers invite all to at tend the many fall festiv ities that will be happen ing this weekend at the Malad Valley Heritage Square. “We feel there is something for everyone to enjoy: great music, food, activities, vendors, and blacksmithing and machines.

Our sole purpose of this event is to celebrate

traditions, create mem ories, bring our com munity together, and have a joyful experience with friends and family” states event organizer Luke Waldron. Of course the first annual Heritage Harvest Festival could and would not be possi ble without the support of the local businesses and dedicated volun teers. Admission to this event and all Heritage Square sponsored activi ties are free of charge so that none are excluded.

We are so grateful for the local businesses that stepped up to make this happen” states Waldron. A special thanks goes to event sponsors; Allen Drug, ATC Communica tions, Hess Lumber, Hess Pumice & Hess NAPA, J-Peak Propane, Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital, Northern Title, Northwestern Mutual,

Oneida Family Dental, Thomas Electric & Fur niture, Thomas Market, Tiny Tots Daycare & Preschool, D.L. Ev ans Bank—Tremonton, and Ward Feed & Seed. Sponsorship money is being used solely to help cover the costs associat ed with putting the event on.

A big thanks also to Eric and Brinn Chipman for providing the music for the harvest dance on Saturday evening, Last Mile Wireless for provid ing internet services to the Heritage Square, Wil lie Cattle Company for the corn and corn stalks, Oneida County Library staff for providing sto rytime, and Edith’s Col lective for the gift basket for the pie baking contest winner. A huge thanks goes out to the over 100 volunteers who are giv ing of their time and

talents to help out this weekend. There are no paid staff at the Heritage Square. This is complete ly a labor of love being provided by community volunteers. Waldron also wants to express his grat itude to Donna Whipple who is chair over enter tainment, Ada Campbell, chair over vendors, and Travis Whipple chair over the Pumpkin Walk and Haunted Homestead and to the entire Whip ple Family who have helped in so many ways.

“It’s truly amazing what can happen when peo ple come together” ex pressed Waldron. Come make memories and enjoy all that fall has to offer this weekend at the Heritage Harvest Festival this coming Friday and Saturday. Events start at 11 a.m. Hope to see you there!

tour number of indi gent people have been dropped off in town in the last few months.

The Sheriff also spoke to the group about some new forensic develop ments through ISU’s Anthropology lab in re gards to Oneida Coun ty’s oldest cold case, involving the discovery of bodies near Weston.

The story will be fol lowed and updated as more official informa tion becomes available.

Following the Sher iff’s presentation, John Williams spoke to the group about some of the new equipment the fire department has re cently purchased, as well as their standard equipment. The presen tation began with Elaine Bohn demonstrating the full turnouts used in the course of fire respons es. Williams and others on hand with experience responding to fires re iterated how heavy and hot the equipment could become in the face of a summer fire.

Other equipment, such as the SCBA (Self-Con tained Breathing Ap paratus) and Thermal Imagining Camera were also demonstrat ed. The SCBA allows firefighters an indepen dent breathing supply to avoid carbon monoxide and smoke inhalation.

“The kids love to see these things—we show them how when you push the button you sound like Darth Vad er,” Williams laughed. He further explained that the real value in the demonstration was in letting the children be come familiar with the sound of someone wear ing the mask, so that if they are confronted with a fire situation they won’t be scared of the rescue workers, which can sometimes happen with younger victims.

The thermal imaging camera allows firefight

ers to detect hotspots in a structure fire. “We had a fire in a chimney this winter where we all thought it was out and we were good. But this camera showed us that there were still hotspots remaining. Those could have reignited the fire, so it saved us a lot of po tential damage to have this thing,” Williams said. “That’s right,” added Jerry Thomas.

“This is a good way to make sure what we think is out is actually out.”

Williams also went through some of the acronyms they use to peak with kids about fire safety. “RACE,” for instance, stands for “Rescue, Alarm, Con tain, Evacuate” and de scribes the priority of action for on scene fire responses. “PASS” is a phrase that helps remind people about the order of operations for a fire ex tinguisher: “Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep.”

The fire department also has CO2 and com bustible gas detectors, which helps them de termine the presence of dangerous gasses. This can be used to respond to CO2 alarms and po tential propane leaks, among other emergen cies.

The fact that the elevation between town and the summit can de termine the proper set tings for gas line hook ups was also discussed. It was also mentioned that the hookup settings for natural gas and pro pane are different, and can cause dangerous conditions if they are not done correctly. The fire department encouraged anyone concerned about the setup of their gas lines or related fittings to contact them for a safety inspection.

The Deputies were given the opportunity to try on the turnouts for themselves and see just how heavy they can be. Williams com mented that “it’s a great day when your seniority means you get to stay be

Speaking of trucks, the tour then moved on to the bay, where Williams and Thomas discussed the various vehicles in use by the department. Most of the vehicles currently in use were secured through a combination of grants, donations, volunteer res toration, and a program that provides decommis sioned military vehicles to emergency service providers. The military vehicles are required to be modified and paint ed within two years of their acquisition, but can serve a wide range of potential uses. “The fact that taxpayer mon ey doesn’t go to acquire these vehicles is phe nomenal,” Williams not ed, referring to most of the engines in the bay.

The tour then moved on to demonstrate the

equipment and training involved in the trucks themselves, from the water tanks to the hose punch (used to provide access for firehoses into attics and other inacces sible areas. Williams described the training courses designed for the firefighters, which involve following a fire hose with a covered hel met to simulate sightless conditions, and other tasks.

The meeting ended with the Deputies having the chance to try shoot ing the fire hose, which is always the highlight of the kids’ visit to the station. It was no less exciting to those in at tendance. “I’ve got to get me one of these for home!” one of the Dep uties remarked.

A reception held in their honor will take place from 5–8 p.m. that eve ning at 2103 W. 2300 S. Syracuse, Utah. (In case of inclement weather, the celebration will be held at 2500 South Bluff Road Syracuse, Utah)

Grandparents Only

Not recommended for parents and kids

By Gramma Dot

I spent a lot of years at Malad Elementary and I have a lot of stories.

One of my favorites took place when I was teaching first grade. It was the first of the year and we were getting ready for Back to School Night. I had asked the students to draw a pic ture of themselves and write a sentence tell ing their parents about something they liked to do. It was always fun to decipher their phonetic writing. We planned to put the finished product on their desks, so mom and dad could “read” it

when they visited the classroom.

One of my talents is being able to figure out first grade writing. As I walked around the room encouraging these young authors, one of the stu dents asked, “What does this say, Teacher?” I looked it over. I exam ined the picture. I asked him a few questions, but I wasn’t getting it. “What do you want to say?” I probed, which was a silly question in his mind because he had it written right in front of me. His look told me I wasn’t being very helpful. “I just want to know what it says,” was

his reply. “Well, I’m not sure,” I had to admit, and before I could kneel to help him write what he wanted to say, he in formed me, “That’s OK, Teacher, my Mom can read anything.”

Now, that’s a vote of confidence, brought about by a relationship of trust. Moms and Dads, you find the Good Life when you nurture that trust. Grandparents, you savor the Good Life when your grandkids have parents like that. Just goes to show you really did do something right!

Malad City Mayor Participating In Annual Mayor’s Walking Challenge

The Blue Cross of Idaho Foun dation for Health program rewards mayors for walking in October.

Malad City Mayor Joan Hawkins is one of a record 98 Idaho mayors that are participating in the Mayor’s Walking Challenge, a program of the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health that promotes the importance of physical activity. The challenge takes place during October.

Idaho mayors can earn up to $1,000 for their efforts and have two chances to earn funds for their com munities. Mayors can:

• Walk an average of 5,000 steps a day during October to earn $500 for their community

• Walk an average of 10,000 steps a day during October to earn $1,000 for their community

Mayor Hawkins is offering a chal lenge to Malad City residents to put on their walking shoes and join her in walking for their health. “I love to walk, and this is such a beauti ful time of year,” she said. “I hope everyone, young and older, will set a goal to walk during the month of October. My goal is 10,000 steps a day, but you can set whatever goal you feel comfortable with!”

“Walking is one of the easiest and best things people can do for their health, and we appreciate the record number of Idaho mayors who are participating in the Mayor’s Walking Challenge,” said Kendra Witt-Doyle, Executive Director, Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health. “These mayors are doing something great

for their own health while setting a good example and earning funds for their communities.”

Since the Mayor’s Walking Chal lenge became a statewide event in 2018, Idaho mayors have earned $271,000 for their communities.

Those funds have contributed to a variety of projects and programs that promote a healthy lifestyle across Idaho, including playgrounds, physi cal education equipment for schools, walking clubs, amenities at parks, scholarships for youth programs, and more.

Oneida County to launch “Operation Green Light” in support of local veterans

In advance up the up coming Veterans Day holiday, the county announced that build ings will be illuminated green from November 7 through November 13 as part of Operation Green Light, a new national collaborative initiative of the National Associa tion of Counties (NACo) to support military vet erans, as well as raise awareness about the unique challenges faced by many veterans and the resources that are available at the county, state, and federal level to assist veterans and their families,

The new national collaborative is spear headed by the National Association of Counties and the National Associ ation of County Veteran Service Officers, build ing upon the successful efforts of the New York State Association of Counties and the NYS County Veteran Service Officers’ Association in 2021.

“Since the tragedy of September 11, 2001, our nation’s voluntary military force members and their families, have made immense sacrific es for our safety and se curity over a two-decade period,” said Board of County Commissioners Chairman Bill Lewis. “Similar to the sacrifices of previous generations of our armed forces, this service to country also often results in signif icant stress to many of the veterans who served in times of war and con flict. We want to make sure our veterans and their families know that their service mattered, that we are grateful for their sacrifices, and that it is now our turn to make sure they are served by their county government and our community.”

Resident are encour aged to participate sim ply by changing one light bulb in their house to a green bulb. This can be an exterior light that

neighbors and passersby see, or an interior light that sparks a conversa tion with friends. By shining a green light, we are letting out veterans know that they are seen, appreciated, and sup ported.

While the event is fo cused around the week of Veterans Day, partic ipants are encouraged to continue shining the light year-round. Res idents can share their participation on social media using the hashtag #OperationGreenLight.

“Operation Green Light is a simple way to express our collective appreciation for the for the public service of our veterans,” said NACo President Denise Win frey. “We encourage everyone to join us in displaying a green light for veterans and to also reflect on how we, as a nation and at the county level, assist our military service personnel back into civilian life upon completion of their ser vice to our country.”

NACo hopes to “shine a light on the plight of veterans in counties across the country who are having a hard time connecting with bene

fits after serving their country.” According to recent statistics, “11.7 million veterans are over the age of 65, which is about 61 percent of all veterans.” National Veterans and Military Services Committee Chair Chris Lukasevich reports that “we have a problem in this coun try—it’s extremely dif ficult to transition from military to civilian life.” Operation Green Light is designed to “send a clear message to inspire veterans to reach out to their county veteran ser vice officers.”

Plans were discussed at last week’s County Commission meeting to arrange for the dis tribution of green lights to those who would like them. The Ameri can Legion Post 65 has also passed a motion to support the operation in whatever ways are nec essary.

Those interested can visit naco.org/opera tiongreenlight for more information and links to resources available to veterans, and watch this paper for further details on the operation as they develop.

Local Student Raises over 700 dollars for the Library

Local reader Adler Zahn took the challenge of reading as many books as possible seriously. During the Sep tember meeting of the Friends of the Oneida County Library meeting, he was honored for his efforts with the Readathon event sponsored by the orga nization.

Earlier in the year, the call was sent out to all students in the valley—read as many books as you can during a monthlong period, and get a friend or family member to sponsor you with a pledge for each book you read. Despite all the reading that goes on in the valley, as attested to by the summer reading challenge, Adler was the only reader to fully embrace the Reada thon. Not only did he partic ipate, but he fully exceeded everyone’s expectations and stunned the Friends of the Li brary with his dedication and accomplishment.

Before presenting Zahn with official recognition and a Barnes and Noble gift card, the Friends of the Library met for a regularly scheduled meeting. Members reported on recent proceeds from book sales at the Oneida County Fair and the Welsh Festival. In total, the events raised a lit tle under $500. It was noted that the location had done bet

ter for sales than prior years at the American Legion Hall. It was reported than many of the donated books were cleared out through $5 bags of books, and that all the volunteers did a wonderful job running the library tables at the events.

Zahn had heard about the Readathon through a “McIn tyre Minute” video in which the principal had announced the contest. Taking the chal lenge earnestly, Adler began calling friends and relatives to ask if they would contrib ute to the campaign. Over the month, Zahn managed to read 194 books, which netted him a total of $714.50. Among Zahn’s favorite books were the Galaxy Zack series and

the Space Taxi series. Need less to say, the Friends of the Library were very grateful for Zahn’s impressive work!

The Friends of the Library is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-prof it organization that works to raise funds for various library projects. As a government entity, the library itself is not able to apply for some of the many grants available to li

braries, while not-for-profits are. Currently, the library is working on applying for fund ing for constructing additional facilities, which Zahn’s con tributions will go a long way toward supporting.

“We’re hoping to use him as an example for next year!”

Friend of the Library Ann Rethard said. The Friends of the Library plan to spon

sor the Readathon again next year, though they are hoping for more participation. Af ter a discussion of changing up some of the details, the group decided to hold the event during February of next year, with more details to be released in the upcoming months.

Congratulations to Adler for his fantastic efforts!

Voices of Women Election Thoughts

Dear Editor,

I notice when I feel off balance I begin to lean to the left or right to find a wall of sup port, reach for some thing, ANYTHING to hold onto, or in a last ditch effort to keep from falling I might even flail.

As our country feels more and more off bal anced, it too has leaned too far to the left or the right, reached and over reached, and perhaps at times flails in a last ditch effort not to com pletely fall.

Levelheadedness with eyes looking out ward to the horizon is the key for me to feel more stable, secure, and balanced. Perhaps lev elheadedness and eyes fixed on the horizon would also help us as a people, as a country, and as a government to feel more stable, se cure, and balanced.

On September 21st I attended our local Republican central committee meeting. I appreciated Chairman Larry Oja’s levelhead edness as he conduct ed the meeting that Wednesday. He did a good job of using the Robert’s Rules of Or der and made sure all who wanted to offer an opinion or ask a ques tion were acknowl edged.

I also appreciated the others on the com mittee who came well prepared to discuss the items on the agenda for the evening. And I appreciated the public who were in attendance to observe and to offer support and input.

Most of all, I appre ciated the women that

night. First of all, Kris Faux, as a Republican Party leader (District 27 Legislative district chair) introduced her self be telling the sto ry of how her patrio tism came to be. She had spent a semester in communist Yugo slavia and was never more grateful for her freedom in the great United States of Amer ica. Kris was kind in her praise for our com mittee’s by-laws. She read and highly praised out mission statement that guides and stabli zies the Oneida Coun ty Republican party to follow correct prin ciples. I understand a woman of principle and discernment had a lot to do with writing that wonderful mission statement.

Next, the three wom en voters on the com mittee bravely ex pressed their opinions and stood alone on a particular vote. Each had a desire for trans parency in future meet ings by continuing to use the Idaho Code which governs when the committee can take the open meeting into a private execu tive session. Moving into executive session has rarely been used in the past, so it was moved to remove the code altogether. These three brave women not only spoke against the move but voted against it when the majority favored “not binding themselves” to the very code which perhaps has helped stabilize meet ings in the past.

I agree with these women that Idaho Code is a protection against the lack of transpar

ency. It’s a good wall to lean on. Leaning into transparency has worked in the past and is even more helpful in times of greater dis trust. In my own expe rience, I watched my brother increase trans parency when working out the details of a re cent small inheritance in my family. His trans parency, level-headed leadership, and ability to encourage commu nication were key to gaining trust and re solving all issues.

The last woman I ap preciated that Wednes day was Secretary Jane Ann Ward for tabling a move to revamp the way our county dele gates to the state con vention are selected. The need to study and weigh the motion was needed, and all agreed.

Women of conser vative Oneida County, I encourage you to let your voices be heard “for such a time as this.” One of Idaho’s hottest issues right now is abortion. The Ida ho Statesman said, “In Idaho, since June 24, the share of new female voters is 18% higher than males.” It also quoted a political strat egist saying, “Women are registering to vote in numbers I have nev er witnessed before.” I believe we need con servative levelheaded insight, looking to the horizon, and voting power from the women of our community more than ever. Our unborn children of the future need you to speak for them. Not only their security, but their very lives depend on it.

Dear Editor,

Thank you for the plat form and opportunity to share a few thoughts. I am a regular reader of your paper and enjoy the insights and information your periodical shares with the community.

On September 27, 2022, I attended a small luncheon introducing Ammon Bundy, who is a candidate running for Governor in the State of Idaho. I went to the gathering wondering if the man I would meet was the radical the main stream media has at tempted to portray him

to be. As I listened to his message and the foun dation of his platform, instead of a right-wing radical, I found a man with solid western values and a vision for the future of Idaho that is very sim ilar to mine. Like many others in this part of our state, I find myself grow ing increasingly con cerned about the creep ing accommodations and troubling trajectory that our elected state officials, in Boise, are making and taking as it relates to a more “coastal-liberal” approach to large, and at time intrusive, govern ment.

Pardon my misquote

Dear Editor:

Pardon my misquote: “We’ve got trouble –Yes, right here in Malad City. It starts with P and it rhymes with T and it stands for….POLI TICS!”

It’s the political sea son and you see cam paign signs everywhere. I hope you Republicans are asking, “Where are the Republican cam paign signs?” I ask this question myself as I drive around the valley where I see mainly signs for the Independent Par ty Nominee. Perhaps we should ask the president of the Oneida County GOP that question?

However, there IS propaganda all around, shoved in your face at the fair and rodeo and Fourth of July Cele brations; these flyers are for the Independent candidate. I’ve seen the Republican “delegates” pass out literature for the Independent Party can didate, currently under scrutiny from Idaho Po lice and the legislature of Idaho. I’ve noticed large banners for this same candidate posted in the business place of the recently elected Re publican County Com missioner. This is the same man who stood in front of the Oneida County Republicans and stated, “We need to be what we say we are.” I agree with that state ment; however, actions speak louder than words and that speaker displays the Independent Candi date’s sign and was also the depository for flyers passed out at the county fair giving propaganda

for the same candidate. Why the hypocrisy?

If you are a Republi can, you stand for Re publican candidates and support their campaign. If your allegiance sup ports a candidate from another party, no prob lem, “Be what you say you are” and run on that ticket! In America you can belong to whatever party you choose but it Is usually assumed you will be loyal to your affiliation.

Mr. Brian Jeppsen has a right to support whomever he wants; however, he ran on the Republican Tick et, was elected on the Republican Ticket and should be expected to be loyal to that ticket! BE WHAT YOU SAY YOU ARE!

I have even asked the Chairman of the Onei da Republicans why this kind of hypocrit ic behavior is allowed and in return he stated, “People can do what ever they want to do.”

I vehemently disagree with Mr. Oja and have debated this issue at monthly GOP meetings to no avail. Present ly, we have delegates who represented Oneida County at the state GOP meeting and openly stat ed that they “would vote their conscience” at that meeting. They were elected to “represent us and our values that the Republican Party stands for.” In turn, when they voted at the convention, I am surmising their vote was one of “individual conscience” and not rep resentative of the Oneida County vote. They were not alone in this vote and joined others across the

After meeting and lis tening to Mr. Bundy, I feel he has the right phi losophy and approach to Government. One that can take our state in the direction that is sus tainable, growable, and honorable. One that can offer a bright future for the next generation of Idahoans.

Thanks again for al lowing me this medium. To all who have the cour age to step into the Arena and represent our free doms and liberties—God Bless!

state to sabotage Repub lican leadership. In most counties, the actions of members of a political party show their affil iation by their actions.

They do not: create shirts and sell them for the opposition party; pay for the opposition can didates’ newspaper ads; stand on corners and in front of businesses and distribute literature for the “other candidate”. You call these acts of non-affiliation!

It is my belief, that the Chair of Oneida County Republicans has stone walled any efforts of traditional Republicans and maintains a tight control on his little band of Constitutionalists to support the Independent Movement. By doing so, he has allowed be havior that supports the Independent Ticket and not the Republican Ticket. Where is the Republican Advertise ment? Squashed and non-existent except for the flyers put out by COCR, a group who are Concerned Oneida County Republicans.

When you want to know where the Republican signs are, ask Mr. Oja. Choose between and be loyal to your choice; BE WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE! In doing so, the trouble with the politics in Oneida County will be partially solved, each person will be affiliated with their choice of a political party and not disagreeing amongst themselves.

The Malad City May or and Council and Malad City Superinten dent would like to thank all of those that came to the Malad City Park on September 10 to cele brate the September 11 Day of Service. Those serving planted trees and trimmed around other trees and plants. The trees that were planted were purchased through donations to the city by Ralph Han son and Jeane Mills, for which we are very grateful.

We can all help our community in many ways. We have appreci ated the monetary dona tions through our Malad City Foundation for the splash pad, trees at the park, the dog pound, the Coop Building project. We have found that res idents and former res idents have been very generous to their home town. We try to be very careful with these funds and make sure they are used as requested.

Another way that res idents can help our city is in cleaning up yards and lots. Our city crew works hard to try to keep our cemetery and park in good condition. This year has been a chal lenge with the drought and water shortage, but they have done an ex cellent job. We just do not have the manpower to clean up the weeds and other trash through out the entire city.

Picture yourself as a new visitor to Malad City. What would you see? Would you be proud to call it your hometown? The city has beautified the Main Street business dis trict with planter beds,

which are created and maintained by Jenni fer Brown, but what about the weeds grow ing around businesses and in the cracks of the sidewalks in front of a business? Parking strips are a problem because often they don’t have a water source. Many have beautified their parking strip with dec orative rocks or other ways that do not require water. We have a prob lem in Malad with Rus sian or Chinese Elm tree seedlings. Once these starts get larger, they are harder to get rid of, but when small, they can be pulled out easily. You may have an elder ly neighbor or an absen tee homeowner that is not able to watch every day for stray weeds and garbage blowing into their yard and need your help.

This letter is not meant as a criticism. Sometimes we just don’t take the time to really look at our sur roundings through the eyes of a visitor. Let’s all of us open our eyes and see what we can do to beautify our city. We can all spare a few minutes every day to pull out some of those unsightly weeds, pick up trash someone has thrown from their car or help our neighbor.

In addition, Malad City has ordinances in place which can be en forced by our law en forcement. You can call the Malad City office if you notice a yard that is not being maintained, that is full of trash or abandoned vehicles.

Please help us keep our city clean and beau tiful!

Living in a Community

By Allison Eliason

Do you ever have those moments in life that just give you the warm fuzzies? Those moments when you are just grateful for the peo ple you are with and those opportunities you have? I had one of those moments just last week at what you might think was in the strangest of times.

The fall is a pretty busy time for us with all the cattle work that has to be done. Our weeks are filled with bringing cattle in off the range, weaning calves from their mothers, vaccinat ing, and preg checking. Nearly every day has something big that has to be done. We are for tunate that a lot of the work we get to do, we get to do with our friends and neighbors.

On the schedule for last week was preg checking our herd of cattle grazing at the base of the Black Pine moun tains. It is a big couple of days of non stop work as crews from our four different ranches work through more than 1,400 cows. We gather the cattle, sort, vaccinate, tag, and make some big decisions that will affect our operations for years

to come. It's the sort of work a grown man goes home tired from. And despite how hard that work is, my kids want to be in the thick of it.

My son Wade in par ticular loves those days that we run the cows through the squeeze chute. Starting school last year meant that he has had to miss out on a lot of those days and he just begs to skip school to help work. Knowing that we were working cows not too far from his school, I left to pick up just as school was let ting out so that he could get in on the last few hours of what he calls “squeeze-chuting the cows.”

Even after a long day at school, he ran out of the truck ready to work. He wasn’t just there to hang out or watch or even play on the side. He was ready to work. It only took a minute for him to find his dad and get in there helping.

Like many other cattle operations, we mark our pregnant cows based on their gestation with hair bleach and this was the job that Wade wanted to do and like any in dependent ranch kid, he wanted to do it by himself. I was a little worried that it was a lot

for him to take on alone for a couple of reasons.

First, it meant that he had to carefully listen to the vet with each cow that came through. Not all the cattle would need his mark and he had to put a different mark on them depending on how far along they were. It wasn't unreasonable for me to think that this busy little boy might not hear right, that he might confuse the marks or that he just might miss it altogether. I was also worried about him step ping up to such a big job because these other ranchers were counting on him to get it right. If he made a mistake, it wouldn’t just be on our cattle, it would be on ev eryone’s.

Despite my misgiv ings, I didn’t interfere and just watched to see if he could keep up with the job. It seemed to be going along OK and his dad was close by to help him know when and where to put the dye. But then all of the sudden I looked over and there he was, do ing the job on his own. A couple of the cows went through that didn’t need his mark but then a cow came along that he had to paint the dye on and he wasn’t quite sure

GENERAL CONFERENCE REPORT

The 192nd Semian nual General Confer ence of The Church of Jesus Christ of Lat ter-day Saints was held October 1st and 2nd, for viewers and listen ers around the world. The conference con sisted of five sessions over the two day peri od of words of inspira tion, love, motivation and spiritual direction to all that would heed its council. Speakers included members of the First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve, Members of the Sev enty and many more leaders from around the world.

Breaking from tra dition, President Rus sel M. Nelson did not open the conference with welcoming words and guidance for those watching and listen ing. Instead, President Dallin H. Oaks, first counselor of the First Presidency, opened the fall conference. In his address, he highlight ed the giving that both The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and its members have done over the last year, accumulating to a grand total of $906 mil lion and over 6 million hours of labor in 188 countries around the world.

President Oaks said, “The Church of Jesus Christ is committed to serving those in need, and it is also commit ted to cooperating with others in that effort.”

He continued, “Jesus Christ is “the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world” (John 1:9). “By this, all the children of God are enlightened to serve Him and one an other to the best of their knowledge and ability.”

Uchtdorf followed, announcing chang es to the youth’s For the Strength of Youth pamphlet. The revised guide for growing teens focuses on teaching young people how to make good and whole some choices in their daily actions from how they dress, talk, inter act with others and use their time. Elder Ucht dorf said, “Is it wrong to have rules? Of course not. We all need them every day. But it is wrong to focus only on rules instead of focus ing on the Savior. You need to know the whys and the hows, and then consider the conse quences of your choic es.” The new guide, titled For the Strength of Youth: A Guide For Making Choices is less about yes or no answers and more about teach ing how to make good choices through life.

President Nelson was the concluding speaker of the opening session and gave a very pow erful and direct address on the church’s stance on abuse. He said, “As President of the Church, I affirm the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ on this issue. Let me be perfectly clear: Any kind of abuse of wom en, children or anyone is an abomination to the Lord. He grieves and I grieve whenev er anyone is harmed. He mourns, and we all mourn, for each person who has fallen victim to abuse of any kind. Those who perpetrate these hideous acts are not only accountable to the laws of man, but will also face the wrath of Almighty God.”

General afternoon and evening sessions continued throughout the day, with speak

ers teaching of for giveness, repentance, strengthening relation ships, bringing people to Jesus Christ and fol lowing Christ’s exam ple.

Elder Jeffrey R. Hol land Sunday morning that The Church of Jesus Christ of Lat ter-Day Saints doesn’t use the common cross as a symbol of their love and devotion of Je sus Christ because His gospel began before the moments on the cross and continued long af ter. The church also forgoes the iconic cross because it chooses to focus on the events fol lowing Christ’s death, namely, His miraculous resurrection.

Elder Steven J Lund, Young Men’s General President, commended the more than 200,000 youth that participat ed in FSY (For the Strength of Youth) Conference around the world. As he spoke of some of the more com mon experiences of the youth, he explained what a challenge it can be to be so immersed in the feelings of the spirit and then having to go home and keep those same feelings with you.

Speaking of the youth, the Lord’s Battalion, he said, “Let there be no doubt, it is the very stuff of heroes displayed by our youth when they set their hearts and minds to standing up right against the shift ing moral tectonics of our time.”

Over the Sunday Ses sions, President Nel son spoke twice more, teaching how cove nants with God will ul timately give deep rest, peace and happiness. He said, “As you make the continual strength ening of your testimo

where to do it.

Without skipping a beat the guy next to him quietly directed him what he needed to do. And then he did it again with the next one. And then the next one. As the cows kept coming through, Wade and this man worked together to get the job done and get it done right. The man quietly watching over my son, a job that he wasn’t asked to do and didn’t have to do, and my son trusting and re lying on that man to help teach him along the way.

And that is when I felt those warm fuzzies. I was proud of my son for wanting to step up and work with these men. I was proud of him for be ing able to stay focused and listen so that he

could keep up and do a good job. And I was es pecially thankful for that man that could have said Wade was too young for the work and didn’t. He could have told him this was a man’s job and not given him a chance to prove himself. But in stead, he made it work. He made it happen for my little boy.

It was one of those moments that I said a little prayer, grateful to God for this wonderful life we have to live. In the middle of our remote range, in the dust and dirt with some of the men literally shoulder deep in cow crap, I couldn’t help but know that the work we do is important and God given. We may all be out there trying to make a living, but in

the details of the work, there are more important things happening than earning a dollar.

Men and women across this country work day in and day out to raise cattle and crops to feed you and me and along the way, they make the dreams of six year old little boys come true. They donate to local FFA chapters and put benefit ropings for their neighbors in need. They volunteer in their communities and serve in their church congre gations. This is the sort of people that are feed ing the world. The sort of people I trust to help raise my boy and you can trust to feed your family.

Saturday Night

ny of Jesus Christ your highest priority, watch for miracles to happen in your life. When you yoke yourself to Jesus Christ and do the spir itual work required to overcome the world, He, and He alone, does have the power to lift you above the pull of this world.”

In his final address of the conference, the President of the church said, “Never lose sight of what the Lord is do ing — He is making His temples more accessi ble, He is accelerating the pace at which tem ples are built, and He is increasing the ability to help gather Israel. The Lord is also making it easier for each to be come more spiritually refined. “I promise that increased time in the temple will bless your life in ways nothing else can.”

He then announced 18 new temples that would begin construc tion around the world in the following loca tions:

Busan, Korea Naga, Philippines Santiago, Philippines Eket, Nigeria Chiclayo, Peru Buenos Aires City Center, Argentina Londrina, Brazil Ribeirão Prêto, Bra zil

Huehuetenango, Guatemala

By Glenna Moss Hayes

Former Malad res ident Glenna Moss Hayes left town a while ago, but loves to think back on her formative years here. Hayes was born on a farm two miles west of Malad, to par ents from Woodruff and St. Johns. So grew up on the Moss farm, and “can still feel her heritage” in the Malad Valley. In this recollection, she brings the old Saturday night traditions back to life.

All the farmers and their families would be in town on Saturday night. Every store— grocery, clothing store, shoe repair—would stay open until around 9 p.m.

At about that time, the entertainment for the evening would being.

The La Grande Dance Hall with a live orches tra opened its doors. The two movie theatres had begun a bit earlier. And, the “Beer Joints” would be doing a busy business. Most women did not go to a “Beer Joint.” It tarnished their reputation and they would be known as a “floozy.” There were a few restaurants, but more people had eaten before they left home. It was the time before fast food. There would be friends visiting in the cars parked on Main Street. It was a time of socializing, shopping, and being entertained.

The Saturday night as it was enjoyed had an early beginning. My mother could remember going in a buggy in the summer and in a sleigh in the winter in the first years of her childhood, which would be in the early 1900’s. It was a time when horses were still pulling farm ma chinery. Later, every

one had an automobile, which they preferred to park on a main street where all the people were. Around the val ley, there were one room schools which would, also, be the church building. This took care of school, church and some local get togeth ers like wedding parties. But, for shopping, you needed to go into Malad. On the farms, there was no indoor plumb ing. In the town, every thing was modern, but in the valley it was still “haul your water from a well and heat it on the kitchen stove.” On Saturday, they would get ready to get to go to town. A large tin tub would be brought into the kitchen, water put on the stove and brought to a boil. The boiling wa ter would be put in the tub and enough cold wa ter added to get the tem perature right. The Sat urday night baths would begin. They would start in the afternoon with those not working in the fields and end up later with the workers. Ev eryone would dress in their best for Saturday night. All the men wore a suit, dress, tie and a hat. Women and chil dren would be dressed in their best attire. During the week, it was a lot of hard work to do the farming. On Saturday night, everyone was ready to dress up and en joy a social evening. Come midnight, it all ended. In the La Grade Hall, they played their last dance tune. The movie theatres turned on their lights and the film was gone. The “Beer Joints” would lose most of their customers. The family would gather to gether for the ride home.

MHS Soccer Scores another win to end regular season

The Malad soccer team ended their regular season on a high as they shutout the Aberdeen Tigers, 4-0. Playing on their home field for the last time made this a game played with a lot of heart. Over the two, forty minute halves, the Lady Dragon team worked together both defensively and offen sively to come out on top.

In both those objec tives the team succeed ed, scoring four goals and keeping their oppo nent scoreless. Junior Kencie Miller, scored three of Malad’s goals, earning what is termed a hat-trick, an extremely rare occurrence in a soc cer game. Senior for ward, Brylee Clark, also

scored for Malad on a penalty kick against the Tigers.

As the game ended, the graduating members of the team were recog nized and honored for their contributions this season. Senior soccer players include Ryleigh Barnes, Brylee Clark, McCady Howard, Cam brie Howe, Hunter Ol sen and Bailey Sweat. As they honored the seniors, Coach Shenell Clark talked of the les sons they had learned over the season, espe cially how their atti tudes, hard work or giv ing up effects their play and their teammates.

She reminded them of “the butterfly effect” that they had referred to all season, a lesson that

will serve them far be yond the soccer field.

The team will next play American Falls October 5 in Amer ican Falls.

Drake Morrison running the ball against American Falls in the 8th grade game, this run would result in a Knight touchdown

Wednesday the Knights hosted Amer ican Falls in their last home football game. This was the last game of the season for the 7th grade Knights. The offense worked hard to push the ball down the field with runs by Row dy Bates, Wade Clark and Gunner VanBebbe.. Defensively the Knights got some big tackles with David Leckie sack ing the American Falls quarterback for a loss of yards. The 7th grad ers all played extremely well throughout the sea son. Some midseason in juries forced the players to switch up their posi tions and try some new plays on both sides of the ball.

“All of the players worked hard and should be incredibly proud of themselves. Although they didn’t end the sea son with the win they are excited to be back on the field next year continu ing to represent Malad football. This is a team

that play well together, they work hard and have a great future together.”

The 8th grade team was off to a great start when Drake Morrison ran back the kickoff for an 85-yard touchdown. Morrison then ran the ball in for the extra 2 points. Knights were winning 8-0 after the first play of the game.

The Knights defense went to work and kept American Falls from getting anywhere. Tavin Barnes, Oakley Mad dox and Parker Price got the tackles to force the Beavers to punt the ball back to the Knights. The first half continued to be a Knights ball game, with running touch downs by Ky Willie and Drake Morrison and a receiving touchdown by Parker Price the Knights couldn’t be stopped. Drake Morrison and Easton Green got the 2-point conversions on the Knights touchdowns.

Quarterback Easton Green completed some

big passes to Dawsyn Peterson and Braxden Kaufman to gain more yards for the Knights.

Defensively the Knights stayed solid with Trevor Allen, Oak ley Maddox and the en tire defensive line keep ing American Falls on their toes. An intercep tion by Drake Morrison helped keep the ball on the Knights side of the ball game. At halftime the Knights led 32-0. The 2nd half of the game saw two more Knights touchdowns by Drake Morrison and Ky Willie with Easton Green and Oakley Maddox running in the extra 2 points. The final score was an other Knights win 48-0.

The 8th grade will finish their season on Tuesday in Aberdeen where they will finish their game that was cancelled due to weather. The game will pick up where it left off with 2 minutes left in the first quarter with Malad leading 16-0.

What a week it has been for the MHS Vol leyball team. The Lady Dragons had a demand ing week with crucial conference matchups and trying tournament games. Through it all, Malad’s squad stepped up to the line to pull out some big wins for the team, but also kept their heads held high as they had some tough losses along the way.

Their week of play be gan on the road as they faced off against Bear Lake Wednesday, Sep tember 28. Coach Camie Tripp shared that it can be really tough to play at Bear Lake. She said, “The crowd, the gym, the whole atmosphere can make it really hard to play there. But these girls stepped up and played hard anyway!”

And step up they did.

The Lady Dragons went 5 sets with the Bear Lake Bears and didn’t let up until they came away with the win. The Malad team came out strong to win the first set, 25-21.

As the two teams bat tled it out in the second set, Bear Lake managed

to sneak ahead on the scoreboard to win by two. Bear Lake took the third set as well, leading Malad 21-25. But the Lady Dragons weren’t ready to give up and came back in the fourth set with grit and skill to beat Bear Lake, 25-22.

With the scores even at two sets a piece, the teams went into the fifth and final set ready to fight it out to end.
