Oneida County's News Since 1879 Malad City, Idaho

Governor Little and State Candidates Visit Malad On Saturday, the Oneida County Republicans hosted a slate of Republican candidates for next month’s election.

Governor Brad Little, Speaker of the House Scott Bedke, State Controller Brandon Woolf, and Superintendent of Schools Debbie Critchfield all spoke to the assembled crowd of voters, party supporters, and the interested public at large. The American Legion Post 65 posted the colors and led the Pledge of Allegiance. The MHS band and choir opened the event with music.

After an introduction to each of the speakers from Mike Hess, the candidates took turns introducing themselves and laying out their primary concerns for the state and counties such as Oneida. Earlier in the evening, questions from the crowd had been collected. A number of them were selected by the hosts, and moderator County Attorney Cody Brower asked each of the officials in turn to respond to some of them.

The questioning started with Governor Little, who was asked “What do you think is the most pressing issue facing the state of Idaho?” In a response that will sound familiar to residents of Oneida county, Little quickly responded “Growth, no question. Along with that comes questions related to roads, sewer, water, schools. Our state is currently the fastest growing state in the country, and growth is without a doubt our biggest concern.”

The next question was to current Speaker of the House Scott Bedke, who is running to replace Janice McGeachin as Idaho’s next Lieutenant Governor.

Bedke first won election in 2002 to the state legislature, and has served as the Speaker of the House since 2012. The question was “What do you intend to focus on as Lieutenant Governor?” In response, Bedke responded, “I’m going to GOVERNOR LITTLE AND STATE CANDIDATES VISIT MALAD On Page 9

NEWS IN BRIEF Evan McMullin’s Independent bid for Senate seen as sign

Evan McMullin’s run for Mike Lee’s Senate seat in Utah is being watched carefully by both parties.

McMullin has expressed his disaffection for the Trump wing of the Republican party, but also stressed that he would not caucus with Democrats. While his bid for the seat is an underdog one, it’s within a margin of possibility. If elected, McMullin would join Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Angus King of Maine as the only Independents serving in the body. Some on both sides of the aisle fear this would give an Independent bloc disproportionate power to affect the passage of legislation.

Link between hair products and uterine cancer

A recent study has established a doubled risk for uterine cancers among users of hair-straightening products. Previous studies had linked the use of such products to an increased risk of a number of types of cancer, but this study suggests a striking doubling of uterine cancer risk for users. The exact nature of the link between cancers and the chemicals used in hair straightening has not yet been determined, though the increased risk is clear.

Mayor Speaks to Stone and MES students about Cities Mayor Hawkins traveled to the Stone Elementary to teach the second and third grade students what it takes to run a city as she read “Friends City.” With each page, the students were eager to ask questions and share their own understanding of what city life is like.

While most of the students that attend Stone Elementary don’t live within the city limits, Mayor Hawkins felt it was important for them to still learn about what it takes to run a city. She shared, “Who knows, maybe one day they will live in the city and they will run for mayor themselves!” She conMAYOR SPEAKS TO STUDENTS On Page 2

A woman in Newport Beach, California saw an ophthalmologist about pain and discomfort in her eye. As the doctor examined beneath her eyelid, he was shocked to find a large clump of contact lenses—eventually totaling 23— from her eye. The patient, a senior who had worn contacts for over 30 years, was surprised to realize she had forgotten to remove her previous contacts before placing new ones in her eye for nearly a month.

The doctor explained that becoming desensitized to contacts over time is common, but he had never seen anything like this incident.

Ted White dies at 96

In a year in which a number of high-profile actors and actresses have passed away, it’s worth noting the passing of stuntman and actor Ted White, who passed away at 96 after a long career. White worked as the stunt double for John Wayne and Fess Parker, among many others, in dozens of Hollywood films throughout the 20th century, though his is probably best known for his imposing turn as Jason Vorhees in Friday the 13th the Final Chapter, which was not the final chapter.

Brake for Breakfast raises awareness The Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital sponsored its annual “Brake for Breakfast” event on Wednesday, October 12. The event is to raise awareness about breast cancer and the need for regular mammograms to ensure early detection of cancer and increase the likelihood of surviving the disease. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Hospital staff stuffed 425 pink bags with information about early detection of breast cancer, small emergency lanterns, bottles of water, bags of nuts, breakfast muffins, string cheese, and mints.

Headed by Kathy Hubbard, Communications Manager at the Hospital, the project began at 6:00 a.m. with fill-

ing the bags by Paula Davis, Ashley Jensen, Colleen Montgomery, Karren Edwards, Pam Mills, Alicia Bell, and Jean Thomas. Hospital Administrator John Williams hauled the filled bags to 200 West between the medical clinic and hospital for distribution.

Beginning at 7:00 a.m., cars stopped to pick up bags. The project concluded about 8:30 when all bags were distributed. As with every year, the event was well-attended, and saw traffic consistently throughout the morning. The hope of hospital staff is to keep the importance of preventative care on people’s minds throughout the year, and especially in conjunction with the national month.

for a dog to steal a lick from that ranch kid that just isn’t eating his ice cream fast enough. The family pup is only trying to help and keep it from melting too fast or making such a big mess. On top of that, man’s best friend will share a few germs to help him have a good, strong immune system.

Just don’t think what that cow dog was last licking on before he went for the sticky cheeks.

Along with the weekly water check, the range salt has to be checked and the kids are always willing to be on that. Not only do they check to see if there are salt blocks out but they check to make sure that they are indeed, still salty. There is only one way to check that and that is by taking a big ol’ lick. Of course there is no thought as to what last licked the salt block or anything else that might have come across it.

Nope, just a big, salty lick and a good dose of germs to keep that immune system running at peak performance.

Moms are always concerned that they give their kids enough vitamins, but ranch moms never have to worry so long as the kids keep tasting the mineral supplements they put out for the herd. A lick here and there is a double

As of 2020, Idaho ranked 50th nationally in breast cancer screenings. This is partly attributed to the large number of rural communities. The mobile screening bus is designed to increase the number of screenings throughout the county. Early detection can dramatically increase the rate of survival for all types of cancer, but especially breast cancer, which affects around 1,300 people per 100,000 across the state every year.

The mobile mammography screening bus comes to Malad once each month from Portneuf Medical Center. Appointments can be made by calling the Hospital.

Kids and Germs on the Ranch In a lot of ways, it’s hard to believe all those folks that say that ranch raised kids have stronger and healthier immune systems than their counterparts that live in the city. Someone might argue that just the opposite should be true, that all that exposure should lead to all sorts of illnesses and infections. But years of firsthand evidence, plus a lot of official scientific research can’t be disputed.

Kids raised in the country with animals, pollen filled air and a little extra dirt under their nails have been found to have a lower occurrence of asthma, allergies, seasonal colds and many other illnesses.

Like any good mom, I try to keep my kids clean, wash their hands and faces and lease once in a while. But now that I think of it, letting the dirt go a little longer isn’t such a bad thing. In fact, I’m doing them a favor, right?

There’s too many ways to count how ranch kids keep boosting their immune systems so let me just give you a snapshot look at some ways ranch raised kids are working on having those strong immune systems.

There is no one more defenseless and appealing

whammy--vitamin boosts and immunity support.

If there is one thing a ranch kid will never run short of, it is dirt. Ranch kids are some sort of magnet for dirt. The instant they see it, they are all over it, or rather, it is all over them. It's in their hair, on their cheeks, in their boots, all over their hands... it’s everywhere.

And it’s a pretty safe bet that ranch dirt isn’t straight dirt but probably has its fair share of other run things... like poop in it. Nothing's better than poopy dirt all over a ranch kid to boost her immune system.

A smart ranch mom will always make sure that there are plenty of snacks packed for any outing. The fun part of

having snacks with a ranch kid is that they will usually come with a side of dirt. With so much dirt around, what’s the big deal of having a little with the fruit snacks or crackers. Just brush it off, it will be fine, or helpful for the ol’ immune system if nothing else.

There comes a point in a ranch kid’s life that they can’t help but lick EVERYTHING. IN. SIGHT. It’s like some terrible right of passage. They put their mouths on the gate, on the 4 wheeler, on all the tools... and if they survive it all, they will never get anything more than a sniffle during the cold season for the rest of their lives.

At home they might wash their hands before

dinnertime, but out on the range, there isn’t a kitchen sink to get the job done.

So dirty hands and peanut butter and jelly sandwich just happen. Dirt, grease, mud, poop and a whole host of other things will be all over their hands but it's all good. Dad is right, a little dirt builds character or at least builds strong immune systems.

When a kid gets thirsty, there is no stopping him from drinking out of the nearest water hole. If it’s clean enough for the animals, it has to be clean enough for the kids, right?

Who cares if it’s an old wheel line pipe or rusty trough? I’m sure the giardia is only temporary and that his immune system will come back stronger than ever.

Recent DYW first alternate Raegan Smith also spoke to the third graders about her experiences working for the city.

Against the backdrop of the book pages on the school’s large projection screen, the mayor again went through the pages, stopping to ask kids some of the question prompts as they emerged. There were no shy kids as the mayor asked the assembled students things like “what do you like about the library?” (“Nature books!” “All kinds of books!” “Sitting and reading!”), “What do police officers do for us?” (“Keep us safe!”

“Stop bad guys!” “Find lost animals!”), and “What animals would you want to see in a zoo if we had one?” (“Lions!”

“Tigers!”

“Bears!”).

When asked what kinds of things the students liked about living in Malad, many of them responded by talking about the city park and the splash pad.

Some requested new playground equipment, which is a project the city has been considering. “That’s wonderful,” Mayor Hawkins said. “I’m so glad that none of you said you mostly liked to play on your phones! All of

these outdoor activities are wonderful!”

Tyler Webster, City Superintendent, met with the students outside to discuss some of the city’s equipment.

On hand, he had a 924K wheel loader. He explained the various things that the city uses the piece of equipment for, including snow removal, moving dirt, and road maintenance. As with the mayor, the students were full of questions and comments, many having to do with how their dads drove a similar machine, or a different version of it.

“My dad lifts us up in the scoop part to watch

If kids are a magnet for dirt, it is only multiplied when there is a little water added and that dirt turns to mud. Whether it is a muddy puddle from the night’s rainstorm, the muddy ditch bank or a little mud from the sprinkler, you know it is calling their name and they can’t resist. Sure it's a big mess, but it’s also some good immune system therapy.

Every ranch has its handfuls of fun critters little ranch boys and girls can’t help but pet. From the dog to the chickens to the horses to the barn cats to the bottle calves, those little ranch hands are all over those many legged friends. Washing hands after such fun is low on the priority list for busy kids that are already onto the next thing. No worries, they are just multitasking- growing strong immune systems as they play all day.

It can be a real laugh when you think all the germs ranch kids come across, day in and day out as they play. We might cringe to think about it all, but those dirty hands and faces are keeping them healthy in the long run.

And there’s a lot to be said about a dirty faced, happy and healthy ranch kid.

tinued that at the very least, it's important for them to understand how communities work together to have hospitals, parks, safe roads, places to collect their garbage and people to serve as police or firemen.

As the students discussed the story, they recognized that many of their families do indeed help serve and lead in their community as they serve on the school board, as EMTs, with Search and Rescue, as Sheriff deputies, County Commissioners and as a part of the volunteer Fire Department.

Like the city in their story, it takes all the citizens working together to create a community where people can learn, grow and safely raise their families for generations to come.

Later in the day, Mayor Hawkins spoke to the combined third grade classes of Malad Elementary School along with Destiny Hart from the Association of Idaho Cities about what kinds of services cities provide for their residents.

They was assisted in the presentation by City Superintendent Tyler Webster, who demonstrated one of the city’s vehicles, a front loader.

“Now I don’t do that anymore.”

As part of the program, sponsored by the INL, the League of Idaho Cities, Association of Idaho Cities, and STEM, each classroom involved in the presentation will be entered into a drawing for $100 toward their classroom.

The program is designed to increase civic awareness and inform students on the range of services that come from an organized city system.

OBITUARIES

Emil Albert (Abe) Ekstrom October 12, 1938 -- October 11, 2022

Emil Albert (Abe) Ekstrom (83) passed away Tuesday Oct 11th 2022 in Pocatello Idaho, surrounded by his loved ones. He was one day away from his 84th birthday.

Albert was born October 12, 1938 in Malad to Levi B. Ekstrom and Emma S. Henriksen. He was the first baby to be born in the Malad hospital which is today known as the Oneida County Clinic. He was the 10th of 11 children in his family.

Abe fell in love with Vicki Sue John and they were married Feb 3rd 1959.

They celebrated 63 years of marriage.

They have 4 children, Marvin Albert (Sondra), Timothy Cecil, Staci Sue, and Jennifer Lynn (Shawn).

Albert provided for his family by working as an auto mechanic. In 1966 he purchased his shop that is known today as Alberts Service. He was still working up until this last Saturday. In 1982 they expanded the business to include towing services. Many members of the community were back up and driving after a breakdown due to Alberts knowledge and dedication to his work. Abe was an extremely hard worker and enjoyed spending his days at his shop working side by side with his two sons that help run the family business. The family is grateful for all the community support and especially thankful for all the FORD owners out there that have kept the business going. Albert also worked many years as an Oneida County School Bus driver.

He put a lot of miles on those yellow buses getting students back and forth to school and sporting events safe and sound.

Abe taught the family that life was not all about work. Albert has not only a love for horses but a passion for working with them. Albert and the family traveled all over participating in cutter racing and flat track racing with Albert’s colts that he bred and raised. Many memories were made standing at the finish line cheering

him on. Albert also loved his toys!

Snowmobiles, a new Chevrolet, and in his later years a Polaris General to run around town in.

Albert was above all else a family man. He definitely passed down the ideals of having a great work ethic, but more importantly that family is everything. Along with his 4 children, he has 9 grandchildren and 16 ½ great grandchildren who will miss him greatly.

Albert is survived by his wife Vicki, their 4 children and all the grandchildren and great grandchildren. His brother Jay and two sisters Hazel and Dixie. He was preceded in death by his parents Levi and Emma. His brothers Levi, John, Donald, and Grant and his sisters Doris, Pearl and Gloria.

Funeral services were held on Monday October 17th, 2022, at noon at the Malad Second Ward Church. Friends visited with the family Sunday evening from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Horsley Funeral Home and Monday morning from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Burial followed at the Malad City Cemetery.

Jenkin Travis Palmer October 11, 2022

MALAD, Idaho-- The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Idaho Falls District will conduct a 264-acre prescribed burn in John Evans Canyon, 8 miles west of Malad, ID, starting on Wednesday October 19 and running to Friday October 21.

Ignition date has been set due to cool and wet weather conditions forecast to arrive Saturday and Sunday.

“The planned prescribed fire will target 264 acres of Douglas fir and aspen stands,” said Blaine Newman, Acting Pocatello Field Office Manager. “Our objectives are to provide for public and fire fighter safety while improving wildlife habitat, promoting aspen growth, and reducing fuels for future wildfires.”

Fire managers will ignite the prescribed burn over a multiday period.

After the active burning is finished, crews will

mop-up, patrol and monitor the fire area.

This prescribed burn is a “broadcast burn,” which means once crews have ignited the burn, low- to moderate intensity fire will be allowed to consume fuels across the forest floor within the unit boundaries.

Smoke will be visible from Malad and the I-15

corridor.

For more information on this project, please call the Idaho Falls District office at (208) 5247500.

Oneida County Hunts

October 20, 2022

Oneida County hunters have hit the hills over the last few weeks to see what trophy game they can bring home. Some head out to fill their freezers, others go to find that wall-hanger of a buck, some hunt for the stories and some go simply because they love the thrill of the hunt. No matter the reason, it’s been a successful hunt for many of Oneida County’s finest. To have your hunt photo in The Idaho Enterprise, email your photos to newsdesk1@atcnet.net We had so many submissions that we will be running the rest next week. Happy Hunting!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Who Do I Say I Am? Before directing responding to this question, I wish to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity this has given me to declare my position more clearly and definitively on some of the more critical issues that face our nation, state, and community.

I am, and always have been, a Constitutional Conservative and hold sacred my military and citizenship oaths to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.

I am a Republican because the principles and tenets of the Republican Party Platform most closely align with my own core religious and moral values. As such, I also support and defend these principles against all enemies “foreign and domestic”, in other words both from outside and from within the Party.

For decades, the Republican Party of Idaho, and especially, that of Oneida County, have been the backbone of Conservative / Constitutional values. Not too many years ago, the Central Committee even sponsored a multi-week class for an in-depth study of the Constitution available to the public, which was well attended. It was taught by the Committee Chair (Larry Ward) and myself (then serving as one of the Precinct Chairs). Over the years since then, we have witnessed a sad and dangerous shift within the National and State Republican Party, as those with more liberal agendas and ideologies realized that their best chance of infiltrating our previously Conservative Government, was to place an “R” next to their name and proclaim their feigned allegiance to the Conservative values. Trusting all along that once elected, few, if any, of their supporters would actually follow up on, much less, hold them accountable to, their Conservative promises.

As a Republican, rooted in the values and principles of the Platform, it is my duty and obligation to “keep the doctrine/platform pure” and to make every effort to weed out those who do not uphold the core values of the same.

I also view this as the primary responsibility of those who serve on the local and state GOP Committees along with all other Platform / principle-based Republicans.

In a recent discourse regarding “Defending Our Divinely Inspired Constitution”, Dallin H. Oaks declared; “There are many political issues, and no party,

platform, or individual candidate can satisfy all personal preferences.

Each citizen must therefore decide which issues are most important to him or her at any particular time. Then [they] should seek inspiration on how to exercise their influence according to their individual priorities. This process will not be easy. It may require changing party support or candidate choices, even from election to election.”

In accordance with this counsel, one of the “most important” issues I see facing us in our day is defending the “Divinely Inspired Constitution”. I therefore would not be “who I say I am” if I were to support any candidate who continues to violate the Constitution, both of the United States and of the State of Idaho. (Cases in point; unconstitutional lockdowns, mandates, closing of our churches and businesses, stay-athome orders, arresting of a pastor for holding outside religious services and practicing his First Amendment / God-given right to worship and assemble, and arresting a mother for taking her child to a park. And the list goes on.) I restate that I must therefore cast my support and my vote for those candidates who most closely represent my conservative / constitutional core values, regardless of their party affiliation. To do otherwise would make me a hypocrite and I would not be “who I say I am.” With that being said, I mention specifically two candidates whose values and principles align with those I have outlined herein: Mr. Ammon Bundy for Governor and Mr. Raul Labrador for Attorney General. I have had the opportunity to meet personally with each of them and am certain that they are the most qualified to uphold and defend the respective Constitutions of the United States and Idaho as well as protect the individual rights of each and every citizen.

Politicians who are eloquent in their flattering words, courting honest and sincere citizens with their political rhetoric, who, when elected, completely violate their oath of office, are and will be the destruction of the Republican Party and eventually the Great State of Idaho.

We’ve seen this play out on a national scale for many years as places of “higher education” have successfully introduced dozens of immoral and evil practices as they have successfully carried out their godless indoctrination agenda, promoting abortion, gender confusion, im-

The

Not recommended for parents or kids morality and every other unholy and impure practice. It has taken them many years to accomplish their work, but we are now seeing the final fruits of their patient and persistent efforts as they blind and deceive good/ honest/well-meaning people.

It is time for Idaho and for Oneida County to throw off this shroud of deceit and “wokeness” and to awaken to the awfulness of our situation. There is only one hope for this nation and that is to turn to God as stated in 1 Chronicles 7:14; “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

In closing I reveal another side of “who I say I am”. Though I have spoken boldly about the dangerous issues as I see them and the urgent need I feel to defend them, I take no offense by those of differing opinions and hold no ill feelings. To do so, is not in my nature. I am grateful for and respect any and all who take a stand to defend their beliefs and positions. I now plead for each of us, as citizens of this wonderful community, to come together on those things which matter most. In reality, politics is just another, very successful, tool of the enemy to divide and distract us. There are challenging and devastating days ahead. If we’re not seeing that, then we’re not paying attention to current events nor to scriptural prophecy.

In coming days, as in times past, we will be called upon to support and sustain one another through difficult times.

This beautiful, peaceful county is, and will continue to be, a gathering place. We’re seeing this come to fruition before our very eyes as many wonderful individuals and families are moving in. That which matters most, is that we unite for the common cause of lifting and sustaining one another through the days ahead. Let us put aside our worldly differences and not allow the enemy of our souls to have place in our hearts.

I love this Country. I love the Great State of Idaho. But mostly, I love this beautiful place we call home and the people of this great county. Let us focus on those things which matter most and not succumb to the distractions of the world as it encroaches upon us.

Sincerely, Brian K. Jeppsen

Gramma Dot I washed my windows the other day, inside and out. It had been a while, like quite a while. In a perfect world lawn sprinklers do not hit the windows. I do not live in a perfect world and my front windows were opaque. Luckily, I now have a solution.

I went through years of scrubbing and cussing trying to get my windows sparkly. Then one day, I was complaining to my friend, Debby Thomas, about how hard our hard water really is. I’d tried vinegar and every cleaning product that advertised, “We work hard, so you don’t have to,” along with all the elbow grease I could muster. She told me someone had introduced her to a product that was mostly pumice. It was expensive, but Deb tried

it and it was the best thing she had ever used on her windows. She told her sister, Sandra Hess, about it. Sandra laughed and told her she would get her some fine grade pumice.

Well, people, look no further for hard water remover. A moistened, green Scotch pad dipped in fine grade pumice and rubbed on your hard-water-covered window leaves you with a totally transparent, sparkly glass that looks like it isn’t even there. I’m not kidding, and the rubbing is minimal.

Up until now I’ve had to get my pumice on the black market (straight from the guy who owns the place). It has not been available at Thomas Market or Allen Drug.

I got to thinking if I put this in the paper all two of my readers will probably want their own jar.

So, arrangements have been made! Call the Pumice Office, 208-7664777, ex 0, and they will set aside a pint of this miracle dust at a reasonable cost. You can pick it up at their office. We might even talk them into donating some of the proceeds for pickleball courts at the City Park.

So, Robert Waldron would probably tell me I should have listened better in Chemistry class. I knew pumice stones took care of the ring in the toilet, but this fine grade stuff is a game changer, and it is right here in the Valley of the Hard Water. The Lord does provide. I’m gazing out my totally transparent window admiring the beautiful day and thinking about how good life is!

CITY COUNCIL MEETS 10/13 Cedar Ridge

Bryce Gooden spoke with the city council about the current timeline for the Cedar Ridge development, as well as several additional potential future projects related to land owned by the developers. The engineer expressed some concerns about the water system in the area as far as providing adequate infrastructure for fire protection for the potential school facilities that are planned to be located in the same area. The engineers explained that the current PSI was not sufficient at the location for a development of the planned size. The engineer reported that would take at least a few weeks to receive a final determination about the water system’s ability to meet the targets set by the water model.

It was reported that the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended approving the third stage of the development. The final number of units for the development was noted by Gooden as around 130.

Jaime Olsen raised the concern of the number of exits from the development onto the trucking route. The council felt that the approval could be made, contingent on the water supply study being completed.

west side of the property. However, neighbors expressed some skepticism about the efficiency of the plan. Property owners requested some sort of barrier to further prevent any runoff onto residential properties from the landscaping slope, which abuts residential properties.

A number of ideas regarding the potential for retaining walls to help protect properties were discussed. The council suggested that they hoped Ace would be willing to work with the neighborhood to help create solutions to some of the issues raised.

The additional issue of privacy as regards the houses down slope from the building was raised.

Lance Tripp read the code relevant to the issue, which seems to call for a 4-6 foot wall between a parking lot and a residence, unless the location makes it unfeasible for privacy purposes, which in this case it would be.

The capacity of the storm drain for the Ace property was discussed, with Tyler Webster explaining that it should be able to hold a 100 year storm surge. The major concern of the residents was to clarify these concerns before the completion of the construction project.

Concerns were raised about the potential runoff from the Ace Hardware building. The council members who have examined the plans for the property explained that the parking lots will be constructed such that the runoff will slope into drainage basins, rather than run off the property. Trees and landscaping will help to prevent additional runoff on the

4-Casi made a presentation to the council about Malad’s ranking on the AARP’s “Livability Index,” which was noted at 52%. The number of respondents to the survey from which the number was gleaned was unavailable, but the takeaway was the Malad is missing some services that would increase the “livability” for retired individuals.

years ago, a “Looking Glass” tour was conducted in Malad to find out how well-equipped the city was to handle wheelchair accessibility.

A related program called the “Network of Age Friendly Communities” was contacted to conduct broader studies for “Livable Communities.”

The program seeks to provide consulting about making transportation, housing, and walkable neighborhoods as available as possible. Their research has shown that age-accessible environments result in higher economic development and growth. Underlying the initiative are census projections which show the increasing percentage of older adults over the next few decades.

Oneida county itself has a higher average age than the surrounding counties. As a city, Malad will need to provide a letter of commitment to the Age Friendly Community Network.

The council approved a motion to join the network.

300 East

The county would like to turn over administration of 300 E. to the city.

The city asked for a road study to evaluate the condition of the road.

Some concerns about the effects of truck traffic on the road were raised, as well as the condition of the South Main section.

Since the road is not yet in the city’s inventory, the question was raised about whether the county show pay for the study prior to the exchange.

A counter-based traffic study at the intersection of 300 E. and Jenkins road is underway to determine whether stop signs are necessary at the intersection. Tyrell Neal felt that a four way stop

was necessary for safety, given the high volume of high school and truck traffic. Lance Tripp felt that waiting for the results of the study would be prudent, and provide numbers to support the council’s decision. A motion to change the intersection to a 4 way stop was approved. An additional motion to designate the area from 155 S. to Jenkins Avenue as a School Zone, with a slower speed limit during school hours, was also approved.

Co-op Building

A recent bid for removal of the paint on the co-op building as part of its renovation project has come back at $175,000.

Grants are being pursued to help cover the cost. The city has promised to not use any tax money for the project outside of the actual city offices planned for the interior of the building.

A suggestion was made about the Idaho Historic Registry, which has expressed some interest in working to restore buildings in small communities, especially Malad.

The Co-op building is on the Historic Registry of Idaho, which should help with securing funding.

Tree Ordinance

There are some trees inside the city which are overhanging the sidewalks and/or roadways.

A city ordinance allows city workers to trim trees in such situations where a visibility or transportation hazard is created.

Homeowners are given notification of the ordinance violation with a chance to trim any tree in question within 14 days, or the city will undertake the trimming if necessary. Street clearance is also necessary for chip sealing, snowplowing,

“Purple Picnic” at the Park supports Domestic Violence Awareness month The board of the Oneida Crisis Center sponsored last week’s “Purple Picnic,” which is held in conjunction with Domestic Violence Awareness month. Following the protocols put in place during COVID, the event this year again was held as a drive-through lunch pick up for community members from noon - 1 p.m. at the City Park on Thursday afternoon.

Visitors were given a package containing sloppy joes, chips, Rice Krispie treats, information about domestic violence prevention and awareness, popsicles, and various toys for kids.

200 lunches were prepared for the event, and most of them had been distributed by 12:30 p.m., as the line of cars into the north side parking lot stretched at times to the street. Families, individuals, and even some walk-ups availed themselves of the lunch, and many stopped to thank the Crisis Center for their service and calling attention to the issue, which affects many families in Idaho. A number of people used the opportunity to make donations directly to the Center. “Of course, we always take donations,” Holly Llewelyn, director of the Center, said. She further explained that the lunch was “an annual event to bring awareness to domestic abuse, but also to call attention to our compassionate community. It’s always wonderful to see turnouts like this.”

The board of the Crisis Center includes Sue Evans, Melissa Shepherd, Nancy Asay, Stpehanie C Y

and street sweeping access.

Superintendent

Malad will be undergoing a DEQ water survey later this month, in order to evaluate the city’s water quality and systems.

Tyler Webster raised the issue of grave decoration at the cemetery.

Objects left around headstones in the grass areas can create obstructions for weed-eating and landscaping, which require a lot of extra time for city workers maintaining the area.

The rules for the cemetery indicate that objects left as memorials must all fit on the base of the headstone, rather than the “mow strip” surrounding it.

Webster would like to establish clear enforcement of the rules for leaving items near headstones, providing a way for people to retrieve objects they do not want to be disposed during cleanings. Obviously, the issue is very sensitive, and the city would like to increase awareness of the issue and clearly provide people a way to reclaim any items left at the cemetery. During times such as Memorial Day, the city is more lax with the timeline for object removal. The city plans to provide a public information ad to clarify its policies in this regard.

The city would like to purchase a used 2016 street sweeper for $198,000. The broom system is new, and the hydraulics will all be replaced. Webster requested the okay to purchase the sweeper. The Treasurer said he would explore financing options.

The council approved a

motion to allow Webster to pursue the purchase.

The city approved a motion to release the retained funds for the parking lot project near the library. The company who undertook the construction of the project will be completing the project and creating an overlay to correct a drainage issue.

Miscellaneous

Rules regarding holiday and comp time for city employees were discussed. One of the issues is the reset time for maximum holiday hours, which Tyler Webster felt would be more equitable to employees if they were reset quarterly, rather than on a yearly basis.

The council discussed the ordinance regarding the timeline for political signs within the city, which prescribes a time period during which signs are allowed on city streets and when they are not. The issue has recently been raised in the community, and the council reaffirmed the current guidelines.

The duties of the Building Inspector, who is contracted from the county by the city were discussed. Some issues of the building inspection and permitting process are somewhat ambiguous at present.

Some obstructive trees on 500 N. were noted, where visibility is obstructed. It was determined that the Sheriff is the Code Enforcement officer for the city, and will be asked to look into some of the tree issues at intersections around town.

Domestic Violence is an issue that affects every city and county in the country, with most experts believing that incidents are routinely underreported for a variety of reasons. Many times, victims of abuse do not feel safe reporting incidents, especially in small communities where there can be a perception of a lack of belief in those making claims, or a failure on the

part of officials to act in some cases.

The Crisis Center serves as a neutral place for reporting incidents, where the focus is on securing the safety of potentially endangered individuals. The Crisis Center is funded by a large variety of sponsors and donors, including the Idaho Council on Domestic Violence and Victim Assistance, the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence, United Way of Southeastern Idaho, United Way of Northern Utah, Idaho Housing – Emergency Solutions Grant, Ifft Foundation – Idaho Community Foundation Idaho, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, West Liberty, Autoliv, Nucor Steel, ATC Communications, Idaho Food Bank, and in-Kind Donations from Good 360, Bed, Bath & Beyond, WalMart, and William -Sonoma.

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017)

Last week during the annual Fire Prevention Week, Malad Volunteer firemen spent two days providing instruction for Malad Head Start, Malad Elementary kindergarten, first and second grade students.

On Wednesday morning, firemen went to the local Head Start classroom and provided instruction to the students.

On Wednesday afternoon, second grade students made the trek from the elementary school to the fire station. Again, on Thursday morning the Kindergarten students were bussed to the station, and on Thursday afternoon Malad first graders walked to the station from the school.

One thing in common with all of these students – they were very excited for this special day!

Despite the chilly day, many residents took a little time on Thursday to stop by Malad City Park and celebrate being a compassionate community. Sloppy Joes, purple grapes, chips, water and lots of delicious purple candy was available for all who attended.

Sponsored by the Oneida Crisis Center, Purple Picnic in the Park has become an annual event, with this year being the fourth annual picnic to bring awareness to domestic violence. October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and the message from the Crisis Center is that we need to build a compassionate community to create an environment of love and acceptance and a helping hand to those that need our support.

The weather did not cooperate for a traditional Arbor Day Celebration in Malad this year. When set in the spring, it was rained out and the decision was made to wait until fall because the time was past when trees could be planted.

A date was set for a Fall Arbor Day Celebration and before it could be held, the trees arrived and had to be planted immediately! So this year, Arbor Day was celebrated by the Malad City Crew, Supervisor Rod Tubbs, Foreman Dale Hobson and Gaylen Garrett and Mayor Joan Hawkins who took photos!

Four trees were planted, with three trees planted at the City Greenbelt and one of the City planters on North Main to replace a tree that died last winter.

Even though Arbor Day is traditionally held the last Friday of April of each year, each community can choose their own day to celebrate Arbor Day. This is possibly the latest Malad City has celebrated Arbor Day. One of the features of Arbor Da is the planting of trees which is best done at certain times of the year. Each Arbor Day the City tries to plant several new trees, either at the Malad City Cemetery or at the C Y

Malad City Park.

The first annual Devil's Half Marathon and 10K were held on Oct. 7. The race began up on the Malad Summit and ended at the Malad City Park. Bobbie Summers stated. "We started a Facebook group, Malad Runners and started planning for this race in July. the goal of the race was to create a no frills, low cost, local run open to anyone."

All of the participants had the opportunity to help plan and make suggestions. the only cost for participants was the race t-shirt, and to either provide treats at the end or to help with the race. "It was a lot of fun to plan," Bobbie Summers said. "We had 20 half-marathon runners and four 10K runners."

We were lucky to have the support of Rexburg Races, represented by Malad native Jeffrey Crowther, who provided the runners with swag bags (that's runner's slang for sweet gear/ awards) for the winners and an arch at the finish line.

10 YEARS AGO (2012)

Ferris and Sharon Hess marked their 60th wedding anniversary.

The couple was married on October 15, 1952 in Malad, where they still reside.

15 YEARS AGO (2007)

A small group of residents gathered at the Oneida Crisis Center for a dedicatory ceremony of the “Peace” Rose Garden. With this being National Domestic Violence Awareness month, the Crisis Center Board of Directors specifically selected October for the dedication, to raise awareness of this ongoing crisis that arises in all communities throughout the nation – including Malad.

It’s October and fall is in the air. The Iron Door Theater is pre-

senting Cowboy Poetry featuring Gordon Peterson from St. Anthony, and the western band of SaddleStrings from the Ogden, Utah area.

Malad’s 2008 Junior Miss Dani Howard attended the 50th year of the Idaho State Junior Miss Program where she was awarded the Fitness Award.

Sixty-seven Kindergarten students from Nancy Panting and Julie Hansen’s classes enjoyed their first field trip to the Malad Fire Station. Todd Jones demonstrated the fire hose and all of the children got a chance to spray it. Ray Davis lets students look into the thermal imaging camera that permits firemen to see through walls or ceilings for hot spots.

Ray Davis dressed in the gear worn when fighting a fire and Ceylon Reeder talked to the students about fire safety.

Over the last several weeks, there has been some remodeling going on at the old Malad Post Office. Dr. Larry Womack of Bear River City Utah, purchased the building and is putting in a Whole Health Medical Clinic. That, in fact, is going to be the name of the facility when completed sometime around the first of December.

25 YEARS AGO (1997)

35 YEARS AGO (1987)

Tons of dirt were

moved in four days time, Thursday through Tuesday, as volunteer’s moved in with large earthmoving equipment to level out the new Malad High School Track & Field. The effort organized by the Malad Lions Club brings the facility closer to reality than ever before.

With the October 6th filing deadline now history, two more candidates, Craig Daniels and Deon Hanson, have jumped into the Malad City council race.

Munching down doughnuts made from a one hundred year old recipe, some sixth graders at Malad Elementary have had a touch of history this past week.

Teacher, Nola Thomas brought her grandmother, Juanita Thomas, to school and for the better part of an hour answered questions and told what it was like growing up in Malad in the early part of the century.

Heath Barber, 12, Malad, was presented the coveted United States Marine Corps Award at the Idaho Bowling Council Jamboree held at the Canyon Springs Inn in Twin Falls.

‘People Who Make Oneida’ – Quiet courage, coupled with a determination to be independent is the guiding principle of Mrs. Eliza Gibson. Mrs. Gibson, who observed her 80th birthday in March, has done her work and helped her daughters when needed during the past 10 years, as she has done all her life. What makes this remarkable is the fact that she underwent a leg amputation in 1957 at the age of 70 and then had to learn to use an artificial limb.

Sundays at her home is family day, when all the children and grandchildren within driving distance come to see “MOM”. Her husband, Dave, died in 1939 and Mrs. Gibson worked to support her family until failing health required her retirement.

The F.H.A. girls of the Malad High School went to Preston today to play a game of football under boys’ rules. They have been practicing hard for two days under the direction of Coach Jones and will try their best to beat the Preston F.H.A. girls. Win or lose, this should prove very interesting and as many girls have stated, “pretty rough”.

75 YEARS AGO (1947)

For the months of June, July and August, Malad City received $2,600 from the sale of slot machine licenses, according to a report of W. W. Thomas, city clerk. In addition to this amount, $926 went to Oneida County and $926 to the state from the slot machine licenses paid in Malad. There are 32 machines in Malad.

Governor Speaks with City and County officials Prior to the large public meeting on Saturday, Governor Little and Scott Bedke, as well as a number of other officials met with the city council and county officials to answer questions about issues relevant to the various offices involved.

The discussion ranged widely, and included a number of topics, such as the local school district, hospital district, county growth, funding, and others.

Also in attendance were Senators Mark Harris and Kelly Anthon, as well as a number of representatives of the various city and county departments in administrative positions.

The discussion began with Jon Abrams, Superintendent of School District 351, discussing some of the issue facing local students. One of the issues raised was finding teachers, and especially paraprofessionals to staff the classrooms. The governor

reported that paraprofessionals were in short supply across the state, but that he recognized Oneida was growing at a rate faster than many parts of the state. It was noted that “many people who want to live somewhere without a lot of people around are moving here, which puts a bit of a strain on our local resources.”

Abrams mentioned that the job of hiring teachers had been made easier by the ability of teachers to qualify for state insurance, which has created a roughly $900/month savings for families enrolled in it. Another concern raised in conjunction with hiring teachers and paraprofessionals was the issue of housing for them. A discussion of some of the development and building issues in the county was held.

Abrams discussed the upcoming bond election for a new school to replace the aging Malad

Elementary building.

The district has secured the majority of the funding already, but is awaiting the passage of the bond to begin construction.

Other issues for discussion included the issue of mental/behavioral health, which affects the hospital, the school system, and the criminal justice system.

The governor explained that when $50 million were allocated for behavioral health across the state, it seemed like a large investment at the time. However, perhaps partially as a result of the pandemic, need for mental health services have increased across has state in a number of areas. In fact, the state is looking at building three new facilities to account for the demand among young people.

The governor discussed the potential upsides for online counseling and mediation, but was not yet sure

Mayor Hawkins introduces the Governor and Scott Bedke, who spoke with County, City, and Community leaders on Saturday

where funding might be secured. The hospital shared that they have recently started offered telepsychiatry on a limited basis (at present twice a month), which they have increased from a once monthly offering.

Some other mediation strategies, including Recovery programs, were

mentioned by the governor. A Youth Ranch facility has begun offering recovery services in conjunction with an equestrian program that has been showing promising results.

The issue of staffing for health care facilities was raised. Bedke, Anthon, and Harris all supported funding $80

million for in-demand workers, which included health care workers, recently.

The governor was also asked about issues related to the DMV, redistricting, bond levies, and other items, though time was cut short in order to accommodate the public meeting.

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 C Y

M K

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 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 full-time 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

Governor Little and State Candidates Visit Malad Continued from front page

do the things I’ve always done. I will always try to find solutions that make sense for Idaho. My knowledge of resource issues will be very helpful for a lot of the kinds of questions we run into.”

State Controller Brandon Woolf, who has served in the position since 2014 after two years as Deputy Controller, was asked “How will you manage the budget in a frugal and conservative manner?” Woolf explained that his main approach would be to continue making sure the systems in place for state finances continued to work smoothly and correctly, following solid conservative economic policies. “I want things to work well. If we’re in the news, that’s probably not a good thing.”

Debbie Critchfield, who defeated incumbent Sherri Ybarra in the Republican primary election for State Superintendent, was asked about the extent of “CRT in public schools” as an issue.

Critchfield explained that “my position has changed a bit over the last year.

I’ve come to believe that our schools are doing a much better job at informing communities about what is being taught in the curriculum than they used to. I’ve also seen that in Idaho schools, CRT is not in itself a prevalent problem. But I do think we have shifted to looking at what is being taught in

our schools and figuring out how to manage it in a way that reflects our values. I’ve seen a number of examples of how transparency in local school districts has changed the relationship between schools and the communities for the better.”

The next question, directed at Governor Little, was a simple one: “Who the hell is Ammon Bundy?” The governor answered by stating, “Why, he’s my neighbor in Emmett.” Humor aside Ammon Bundy is running as an Independent in the Governor’s race for Idaho, and both have a residence in Emmett. The two have positions which are in opposition to one another on many issues, and the race has been somewhat contentious.

The governor was next asked about the issue of “Pride Parades and Drag Queens,” which was likely in reference to the recent issue with Boise’s City Pride Parade and an event with drag queens, later canceled, that was planned to allow child participants. The governor explained that the issue was one that was relatively new to him, and relevant to the specifics of the Boise parade itself, but not a widespread one.

Brower used the response to make the question a more general one about what the governor plans to do to engage with some of the national questions that had been raised, including inflation, immigration, drug trafficking, and oth-

Scott Bedke, Brad Little, Debbie Critchfield, and Brandon Woolf take questions from the audience at Saturday's public meeting

different school districts across the state. “It’s true that the ability for smaller and rural areas to pass bonds and supplemental levies can affect student performance. We need to think about how facilities can affect student learning, and that’s something I’m very concerned about.”

The governor was asked about windmill projects under review where the generated power will potentially be diverted to other states, as well as potential changes to dams across Idaho.

“We are a state that has a grid built for hydropower.

Half of our power comes from falling water. It’s something we need to make sure is secured for our state.”

Scott Bedke was asked about division within the Republican party in Idaho, and how that might affect unity with the party writ large. Bedke shared an experience where he had discussed party di-

vision with a member of South Africa’s parliament. In the discussion, the South African had expressed dismay at the way the parliamentary system made representatives beholden to the party line.

“My vote is for the voters who elected me,” Bedke said. “If a third party can enforce how I vote, then I’ve betrayed that trust.”

When asked how the potential election of someone other than Little would affect his job as Lieutenant Governor, Woolf responded that “we don’t have to be binary about everything. We’re a big family here in Idaho. However, if all taxes were done away with, it would bring things to an immediate halt.” Woolf praised Little for seeking compromise and being willing to find solutions that addressed the needs of people across the state, while maintaining a conservative foundation.

Bedke was asked to discuss the grocery tax re-

bate, which he explained returns money to Idahoans who pay sales tax for groceries, but does not return money to tourists (which he noted is the third largest sector of the state economy) or illegal immigrants, who do not file tax returns.

Critchfield was asked to discuss her plan to require personal finance classes for graduating seniors across the state. She explained that in her experience in the education field, she had observed that many of the later in life negative outcomes of students were the results of poor financial decision making, which could be mitigated by a better understanding of credit, investment, budgeting, and other essential components of financial decision making.

After the official Forum, candidates met with individual voters to discuss their concerns, and listen to their comments.

ers. Little responded by explaining that his office was working to pressure the Biden administration on immigration issues.

He then explained that an idea from his administration to combat inflation had to do with expanding the window for funds received by states as a result of COVID, so that they could be distributed over the next few years as a means of combating inflationary pressures.

Scott Bedke was next asked about what he would do to combat the rise in mental health issues across the state.

Bedke responded by discussing the money the legislature has devoted to Recovery centers across the state, including Oneida county (through programs administrated out of Pocatello and elsewhere), to provide other options to police than incarceration for at risk youth. “Over the last ten years, we’ve made a big investment in alternatives to jail for those with mental health issues,” he said.

Brandon Woolf was asked about the stewardship of tax funds. “These tax dollars are sacred funds,” he said, “and that’s how I see them.”

Scott Bedke broke in to add that Woolf sits on the Land Board for Idaho, which makes decisions affecting funds for thousands of Idahoans, in a fiscally responsible and effective way.

MHS VOLLEYBALL

The Malad Lady Dragon volleyball team played their final home game of the regular season October 13 as they hosted the Bear Lake Bears. After the tough, five set game the Lady Dragons played in Bear Lake, they brought their very best game and totally dominated the night.

Before the games began, the team and fans recognized and celebrated the senior volleyball playersmiddle hitter Camia Bean, defensive specialist Journie Tovey and middle hitter Abby Rosenquist. Over the years, the girls have had some great games and made some lasting memories with their teammates. Volleyball has played a special part of their experience as a Malad Dragon. In turn the seniors also recognized the seniors from Bear Lake and then took time to thank their coaches, parents, and loyal fans that have supported them throughout the years.

The MHS volleyball team was set to play from the very first serve of the game.

They brought a lot of energy and excitement to their last game of the 2022 season. In a matter of minutes, the Lady Dragons were up eight points to zero before the Bears answered back. Bear Lake just couldn’t keep up with the hard hitting, consistent passing and strategic plays Malad had throughout the first set.

Time and time again, the Bears fell short as Malad attacked. This came as a surprise for the team and fans as Bear Lake had played very competitively in their previous matchup. The Lady Dragons easily won the first set, 25 to 7.

The Lady Dragons took the quick lead again as they started into the second set.

Setter Adley Kimberling took advantage of the Bear Lake blockers as she set up the MHS hitters.

Rather than anticipating and reading the ball to know when to set their block, the Bears had begun to simply set up at the outside hitter, assuming that is where the hit would be coming from.

With the middle and opposite hitters wide open, she began setting all across the net, making all sorts of opportunities for the Lady Dragons.

Time and time again, the Malad hitters went up to the net, successfully finding that sweet spot to earn another point for their team.

The girls did well to attack hard when they needed or pull up short when they saw a hole.

They hit line when defense wasn’t covering it and tooled it off the block when they could.

Hallie Horlsey led the team attacking with 21 hits over the night. Riglee Peterson followed with 9 hits, Camia Bean with 3 kills and Abby Rosenquist with 2. The team’s strong hitting led them to win the second set, 25-15.

Seniors Journie Tovey, Camia Bean, and Abby Rosenquist were recognized at their last game of the season against Bear Lake

As the third set began, the Bears finally brought some intensity to the game, keeping the score tight throughout the set. The Lady Dragons steady coverage kept them in the game as Bear Lake brought their attack.

The team covered the court well, with no player standing out to dominate the digging.

Libero Brylee Oglesbee and outside hitter Peterson each passed up 13 digs, with Horsley popping up another 12, Izzy Haycock adding another 10 and Kimberling leading the team in digs with 15.

The Lady Dragons snagged the lead for the final time as the two teams were tied at 18 points, pushing to finish the game. Bear Lake managed to score another two points as well, but a strong hit

from Rosenquist up the middle that the Bears just couldn’t recover from, put Malad on track to take the final game.

Horsley followed up with an ace of a serve, tripping the ball up in the net and putting it too short for her opponents to pass up. The Bears battled back to steal one more point before Peterson ended it all with a big swing on the outside to win the set, 25-20.

The JV and C teams played their final games of their 2022 season against Bear Lake. JV Coach Gia Haycock shared with pride just how much her team has grown and learned throughout this season. Of their many games at home, on the road and in various tournaments, the JV team only lost two

games as they faced off against Weber and Pocatello teams, a feat they are deservedly proud of. The team is already looking forward to their season next fall.

Coach Kristen Horsley shared just how fun it was to coach and work with the young girls that made up the C team. They had their own ups and downs throughout the season, but through it all the girls became a really great team. Coach Horsley said, “We just have such a great group of girls from the seniors all the way to the freshman. They support and cheer each other on. It has really been a great season.”

Finishing first in the district, the Lady Dragons are hosting the 2A District Volleyball Tournament.
