The country took to the ballot box on Tuesday, to determine the direction of Congress for the next two years as well as state and local governments. Oneida was no different, although the early morning snowfall added a wrinkle to it.
“I hope people still come out, despite the weather,” County Clerk Lon Colton said. Colton, who has been overseeing elections in the county since 2011, ex pressed his belief that the weather would likely not be much of a hindrance to
turnout. “This is a big elec tion,” he said. “I think we’ll still see a big turnout.”
Non-presidential elec tions routinely see small er numbers than those for the largest race, but Onei da County has a generally high level of participation. “I’d like to see a hundred percent…that’s the dream. Given how things work with people moving in and out that’s never going to happen, but eighty-five to ninety percent, boy I’d love
Lottery officials announced on Tuesday that a winning ticket to the $2.1 Billion dollar jack pot had been sold in Altadena, California. The winning ticket, which matched all the white numbers as well as the Power ball number, was sold at Joe’s Service Center. More than 11.2 million tickets were sold that resulted in $98 million dollars in winnings, including 22 tickets that won $1 million each.
An ocean sunfish, the largest bony fish in the ocean, was recently hauled in off the Azores and smashed weight records at over three tons. While whales are the largest marine animals, and sharks are generally the heaviest cartilaginous fish, the ocean sunfish has long been a monster of its own dimensions. Scientists who examined the fish after it had been landed explained that the existence of such a large example of the species is a hopeful sign of the health of the marine ecosystem to sustain such a fish.
A “Significant amount of oil,” estimated at around 1,800 gallons, has been recovered and removed from a spill into Pocatello Creek reported on No vember 2. The spill, which has been connected to the Virginia Transformer Corporation, was apparently released from a train car. The cause of the release is still under investigation by the EPA. The Pacific Recycling Trail is closed until further notice as a result.
A six and a half foot T. Rex skull was recently unearthed in South Dakota. The skull, named Max imus, is slated for the auction block after its anonymous owner decided to sell it. Many, if not most, fossils are generally sold to research facilities and muse ums, though there is a chance the item could end up being purchased by a private collector.
A total lunar eclipse will occur on November 8, though it may not be visible locally due to weather. The moon should be visible at just after 1:00 a.m. if clouds are not in the way. In the case of a total eclipse, the moon is fully within the earth’s shadow, which is what creates the effect.
Nell J. Redfield Me morial Hospital is hap py to announce that our hometown clinic, Onei da County Clinic, has re ceived the 2022 Lilypad Award. The Lilypad Award identifies the top fifty provider-based and independent rural health clinics in the nation.
Five facilities are cho sen from five different geographic regions, and Oneida County Clinic was chosen as one of the top five clinics in the Northwest Region—an area covering ten north western states. This is the second time in three years that Oneida Coun ty Clinic has been cho sen as a Lilypad Award recipient, having also won the award in 2020.
Lilypad is a health care analytics firm based in Maine that analyzes clinical data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to identify the top performing rural health clinics in the nation. The data they analyze is taken from 4800 rural health clinics across the country. Data from these clinics is sub mitted to CMS through a national reporting re quirement called the Medicare Cost Report that is conducted annu ally by an external audit ing agency. In the press release announcing this year’s winners, Gregory Wolf, founder and Pres ident of Lilypad, said, “The Lilypad Awards seek to…shed new light on the relative perfor mance among Rural Health Clinics. We feel it is time to recognize high performing clin ics as a catalyst for fu ture improvement and investment. Our rural healthcare delivery sys tem relies on affordable access to high-quality primary care services, and Rural Health Clin ics play a vital role in strengthening our rural safety net.” In response to this award, John Wil liams the Chief Execu tive Officer for Redfield Memorial and its affili ated healthcare entities, including the Oneida County Clinic, stated, “I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful staff and providers that we have in our clinic and throughout the organiza tion. This is the second time that we have won this award in the past three years. The last time we won this award was in 2020, and I think that the significance of the achievement was unfor tunately overshadowed
by pandemic headlines. It really is wonderful to see everyone’s hard work and consistent at titude of quality care be acknowledged through a nationally recognized award program like Lilypad. We are truly honored to receive this recognition and will, of course, remain focused on providing quality pa tient care.” Mr. Williams added, “This really is a big deal. This achieve ment places us in the top fifty rural healthcare clinics in the nation for these performance and quality metrics. That’s the top 50 out of 4800. That puts us in the top 1% of rural healthcare clinics nationally, and we have achieved this
twice in the last three years. Through the hard work of our clinic pro viders, clinical staff, and support staff, our clinic has again achieved one of the highest quality awards in the nation for rural health clinics.” Mr. Williams went on to say, “Our community cer tainly plays a strong role in this award process as well. Their trust in our services and in our staff is fundamental to the patient care process. We are truly grateful. Congratulations, Onei da County Clinic!” For more information about this award process, visit the Lilypad website at www.lilypad207.com/ awards.
Happy Anniversary in Heaven to the love of my life. November 11 would be 51 years. Little by little, we let go of loss, but never of love. Death ends a
life. Not a relationship! Love is some thing eternal and I will always love you.

As a country, we owe a great debt to the men and women that have and continue to serve in the armed forces. These selfless soldiers have stood to defend not only their country, but the val ues our country has been built upon. They have safeguarded the rights of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” at home and abroad for generations. Their sacri fices and examples stand as a beacon of hope for whatever future lies ahead.
The goodness of the sacrifices have bless ed our lives for years in more ways than we can count. In fact the rippling effects of their service have literally helped shape this coun try, its growth, industries and economy, into what it is today.
Most often when we think of farmers settling the west, we imagine those early pioneers coming across the plains in their covered wagons looking for new begin nings. And while that picture isn’t wrong, it isn’t the whole picture either.
In the midst of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln signed into effect the Home stead Act of 1862, grant ing 160 acre homesteads to farmers willing to go west and brave the un settled lands. Just the year before, President Lincoln said that the purpose of government was "to elevate the con dition of men, to lift ar tificial burdens from all shoulders and to give everyone an unfettered start and a fair chance in the race of life," and this was his way to give peo ple a fair chance to make their own way.
There were very few requirements to claim a homestead. The person on the claim had to be the head of household, at least 21 years old and had never fought against the United States. The final stipulations were that the homesteaders were to build a home on
The Malad Volunteer Fire Department is plan ning the 101st Annual Fireman’s Ball for De cember 3, in the Events Center at the Fair grounds from 8:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.
A raffle will be held by the firemen. Help sup port them by purchas ing tickets. They will be giving away a pair of Vortex HD Binoculars, Rtic Cooler, Two trips to Jackpot, and more! Raffle tickets will be available to purchase from any Malad Fire men or at Thomas Mar ket and Hess Lumber. They are $10.00 each or 3 for $20.00. There will also be a Sports Afield Gun Safe with a mys tery hunting rifle inside. You can enter to win for $50.00 per square.
their plot and make im provements on the land over the following five years. After that time, there would only be a small registration fee and the land would be theirs.
There was an addi tional provision written in that made homestead ing especially enticing for veterans. Those that had served in the mil itary could count their years of service toward their five year residen cy requirement, owning their land in as little as one year. This provision brought thousands of veterans and their fami lies to the west and pro pelled the expansion of U.S. industry to incred ible heights.
The very first home
stead was purchased by Civil War veteran Dan iel Freeman who was so keen to begin his home stead that he begged the land office agent to open at midnight on January 1 so that he could sign the moment the law came into effect.
Of course, settling the west was no easy feat. Over time, only 50% of homesteaders were able to last the five years be fore having to leave their farms due to drought conditions and signifi cant losses. Those suc cessful farmers devel oped what has become a powerful agriculture industry with farms and ranches that today not only feed our own coun try, but produce goods enough for the United
States to be an interna tional superpower.
Settling farms across the country continued until the late 1970s when the Homestead Act was finally repealed. From the time of the Civil war when the act came in place until its repeal, veterans from the vari ous wars through the de cades were continuously granted new opportuni ties for homestead lands throughout the United States.
My own grandfather took part in the home stead lotteries as plots in Idaho were divided into homesteads. The Bureau of Reclamation opened over 67,000 acres of new land to be settled between 1953 and 1965 named the North Side
Pumping Division in Mindoka County. With a love of farming, a dream for a better life and a willingness to sacrifice, my grandfather began clearing his land, bring ing water to his fields and praying for suc cessful seasons to bless his fields with bountiful crops. His dream even tually became a reality as their family and farm grew to be a sustainable venture. The greatest outcome of his dream was the eight children he raised on that home stead land and the life lessons they gleaned as they worked those farm fields.
I have seen, firsthand, the good that has come from those rippling ef fects of the services our
veterans have given to our country. Not only do they stand to protect what is right, but they forge a way for our fu ture, be it on the battle fields or as they create productive farm fields. In both aspects, they have been willing to work and sacrifice for a dream they knew was worth fighting for. As a citizen of this great country, as a grand daughter of a veteran, as a member of the ag riculture industry and as a person that depends on farmers three times a day, thank you to the generations of veterans that have carved the way for this great nation we have to live in today.
Although there have been several scattered snow events throughout October and Novem ber, Monday night into Tuesday afternoon was the first full-scale snow event of the season. As of Tuesday afternoon, several inches had fallen in town, with a reported six plus inches on the summit.
According to the Na tional Weather Service, the temperatures over the next week will vac illate between freezing overnight lows in the 20s and midday highs in the 50s. This likely means that a cycle of snow, rain, and freezing temperatures will create a headache for drivers and road officials.
Drivers are advised to be cautious, and on the lookout for black ice and underlying slippery road conditions, as well as potential whiteout driv
ing at times. Thursday of this week is predicted to see drops in the daily and over night temperatures, leading to a new round of snow by the end of
the week, as well as po tentially dangerous driv ing conditions.
As another advisory, winds are also expected to pick up as the week goes along, lowering the apparent temperatures.
Looking forward to next week, the high chances of precipitation are expected to continue, with daily highs settling more frequently into the 30s.
Whether you value a bit of daylight for your morning commute, or like the thought of your child not having to wait for the bus in the pitch blackness of a snowy morning, there’s at least a small chance that those may be per manent memories of a bygone era. The Sunshine Protection Act, which has passed the Senate but not yet made any progress in the House, would keep the entire country on Daylight Savings Time moving forward. The immediate result, upon passage, would be that the “spring forward” scheduled for next March would be the last of its kind.
There is a long and confused history of Daylight Savings Time. Everyone from Benja min Franklin, to PTA organizations, to the Mars candy company has been implicated in the “plot” to keep the twice yearly time change on the books. Benjamin Franklin al legedly proposed the idea to save lamp oil by “saving” daylight at the end of the work day. A similar claim was made about Congress during WWII, when fuel and other resources were experiencing scarci ty. Candy companies are blamed for wishing to extend the length of Halloween Trick or Treat times. And of course, the “farmers” still get accused of con spiring to keep the time
change in place for… some nefarious pur pose.
Even official sourc es still argue to this day about the exact logic behind it. There is statistical evidence to suggest that more accidents involving school children do oc cur during DST. There is also evidence to sup port the claim the shift ing to Standard Time results in more traffic fatalities, heart attacks, weight gain, depres sion, and almost any thing else you can think of.
The most cautious of scientists and research ers who have explored the topic suggest that it’s not DST or ST itself that causes these prob lems, but rather the ad justment of “shifting” to a different circadi an cycle that is at the bottom of these noted health effects. It’s also possible that the tim ing of the time chang es themselves simply correspond with those health outcomes natu rally. (That is to say, weight gain and depres sion are correlated with higher incidence levels in the winter, which is when DST ends.)
In any case, it re mains to be seen how much momentum there will be in the House to move forward with fi nalizing the Sunshine Protection Act after the midterm elections. Giv en the plethora of na tional issues currently being disputed, the fate
of America’s national clock might easily fall off the top of anyone’s list. And really, that’s a better explanation than any for why the system has remained in place—inertia. It’s certainly a lot easier to do nothing than some thing, and there’s at least a decent chance the idea of establishing a permanent national time will recede to the back burner for another five, ten, fifty, hundred years again.
Two pieces of infor mation might provide useful context for the next steps forward. The U.S. did attempt instituting a perma nent switch to Daylight Savings Time in 1973, which was signed into law by the Nixon ad ministration. During the nearly yearlong experiment, anecdotal accounts of accidents and a report of minimal economic positives (as well as the Watergate scandal’s effect on Nix onian policies) led to the Bob Dole leading a charge to end the prac tice. The termination of the experiment was signed into law by Ger ald Ford the next Octo ber.
The other issue is that any law would also need to be singed into effect by the current president, or if vetoed, be overridden by twothirds of Congress. The White House has been noncommittal about its position on the topic, and two-thirds of Con gress agreeing to any thing would surely be newsworthy.
Odds are good, in the end, that we’re stuck with the “two times” system for the fore seeable future. On the upside, whichever one you prefer gives you something to look for ward to!

Halloween is over. The spooks, pumpkins and candy are history. Well, mostly, we still have a ton of candy all over the place, but the sugar high has worn off. Now it is on to Thanks giving, turkey, pumpkin pie and gratitude. Grat itude is a big word tied tightly to family and friends.
Tam Goddard called me last week and point ed out the paragraph about Sharon Thorpe (aka Grandma Red) in the “Looking Back” part of the paper. Seems mom was identified as a “People Who Make Oneida” person 55 years ago. That got me think ing about all the “People Who Make Life Good.” Here’s a smattering from my past in this valley. Can’t begin to touch on them all, but these few will bring memories to most of us who grew up here. And, for those of you who didn’t grow up here, the descriptions should stir memories of important people in your own life. Hope this starts some conversa tions around the dinner table focused on memo rable personalities.
Betty Jones: She started the girls’ athletic program at Malad High School with an MHS Girls’ Track Team. Of course, everyone want
ed to participate, but unfortunately, not ev eryone had the talent. Hence, the Comedy Re lay Team…it’s one of my fondest associations and it got me and a few friends on the bus where the action was!
Ruth and Lyle Hess: Sunday School teachers extraordinaire. I can’t remember a specific les son, but we talked, we had parties, everyone came to church. Ruth and Lyle loved us…even when we weren’t very loveable.
Deon Hansen: “What’s the magic word? Enthu siasm!” My girls know how to say “Enthusi asm!” with the Rosy the Riveter arm pump. It never fails to put a smile on their faces and mine.
Mary Zundell: Every one thought they were her favorite and we all knew what “lethargic” meant. Vocab cards were part of life, and she didn’t put up with “le thargic” people.
Joe Davis: “I’m going to flush you babies.” We studied, we worked and we survived. Mostly we figured out we could do hard things. There were no excuses, and I don’t think any of us got flushed.
Palmer, Hartvigsen and Evans, that’s Jenk Palmer, Lester Hart vigsen and John V. Ev ans. State politicians from little Malad that
worked to make life better for all of us. One went on to be governor and all three got their names on the high dives at Lava. And guess what? They were from different political parties and a large majority of the valley voted for and appreciated all three!
I must stop because this is supposed to be a short article, but I could keep going all day. Stan Thomas, local grocer; Gene Capener, em ployer; Sally Thomson, local wit; Fay Evans, postmaster; Sharon and Ferris, family friends. The point is we all have a long list of people we are grateful for. Take time to remember and time to be important to those around you. It’s people that make the Good Life!
• With the beginning of November, Malad City needs to start thinking about winter and what is needed for the City Pub lic Works Department to keep the streets clear of snow.
When it snows, the snowplow cannot clean your street properly if there are vehicles parked on the street. Please move all vehicles off the street when it snows.
A number of trees in the city are becoming over grown over streets and sidewalks. It is a require ment that the property owner trim their trees that overhang the street to be 13½ feet above the road and for sidewalks to be 7½ feet above a sidewalk. This allows all vehicles, including larger city ve hicles, to drive the streets and for people to walk on sidewalks. If trees are not trimmed by the property owner, Public Works will send a letter specifying a date to have the trees trimmed; and if they are not, the city will trim the trees and bill the property
Lyle
owner.
In addition, for proper ty owners with a mailbox, the mailbox face must be even with or behind the curb so that snowplows can plow from curb to curb.
If anyone has questions regarding these require ments, please contact Tyler Webster, Superin tendent of Public Works at maladpublicworks@ gmail.com or call the City Office at 208-766-4160.

Legislative Council’s Statement of Meaning, Purpose, and Result to Be Accomplished
Currently, the Legislature may meet in a special session only upon call of the Governor. The proposed amendment would allow the Legislature to convene itself in special session if 60% of the members in each house submit a petition to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The petition must specify the subjects to be addressed in the special session, and only those subjects could be considered during the special session.
The amendment also requires the Legislature to hold an organizational session in December following a general election. The purpose of the organizational session is to prepare for the upcoming regular session. The proposed amendment would formalize in the Idaho Constitution the Legislature’s longstanding practice of holding an organizational session.
Statements FOR the Proposed Amendment
1. This constitutional amendment is needed to correct an imbalance of power among the three branches of government. The executive and judicial branches of government have no restrictions on their ability to conduct business when and as they deem appropriate, and the legislative branch should have the same power.
2. Idaho is one of just 12 states whose legislature has no power to convene itself into a special session under certain circumstances. The Idaho Legislature should not be dependent on the Governor to call it into special session when extraordinary events occur. For example, in 2020, the Idaho Legislature wished to convene to consider Covid-19 matters and the expenditure of federal funding related to the pandemic but the Governor delayed convening the Legislature.
3. Authorizing the Legislature to convene itself into special session will prevent the need for one or both houses of the Legislature to defer adjourning sine die indefinitely as happened in 2021 when the House of Representatives wanted to preserve its right to take up anticipated issues later in the year. Deferring the date of adjourning sine die results in numerous administrative problems such as delaying effective dates of legislation and administrative rules. If the Legislature is able to convene itself, there will be no need to avoid adjourning sine die.
4. The proposed amendment contains sufficient safeguards against any potential abuse of power by limiting the subjects of legislation to be considered during a special session to those listed in the petition, just as a special session called by the Governor is limited to the subjects listed in the Governor’s proclamation.
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 parttime citizen legislators with other careers should not be burdened with sudden, unpredictable special sessions.
3. Idaho businesses and citizens need the stable, predictable, and routine timeline of the regular legislative session to communicate with legislators regarding the effects that pending legislation may have on businesses and citizens. The ability of the Legislature to convene itself into various special sessions may result in the passage of legislation that has not been properly vetted and could result in unintended consequences for Idaho businesses and citizens.
4. The proposed amendment requires a petition signed by only 60% of the members of each house of the Legislature. This threshold is too low. Many states require a higher percentage, such as 67% or 75%. A higher percentage would deter the Legislature from convening itself for subjects that may be trivial, vague, or not widely agreed upon.
Amendment Text Section 8. SESSIONS OF THE LEGISLATURE. (1) The regular sessions of the legislature must be held annually at the capital of the state, commencing on the second Monday of January of each year, unless a different day shall have been appointed by law, and at other times in extraordinary sessions when convened by the governor and in organizational sessions commencing on the first Thursday of December after the general election, unless a different day shall have been appointed by law.
(2) The legislature, while remaining a part-time, citizen legislature, must also be convened in special session by the president pro tempore of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives upon receipt of a joint written petition of at least sixty percent of the membership of each house, specifying the subjects to be considered. Such special session must commence no later than fifteen days after the petition is received by the president pro tempore of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives. At a special session convened pursuant to this section, the legislature shall have no power to consider or pass any bills or resolutions on any subjects other than those specified in the petition and those necessary to provide for the expenses of the session.

Over the last several weeks, sports columns across the country have highlighted those star players on the field and on the court. They make those crucial plays, put up big stops and ulti mately run points up on the scoreboard, earning themselves a little time in the limelight. It’s easy to think that those stars carry the team when you see their plays or hear their names called out. But there is a whole team behind them, help ing them succeed more than they ever could on their own.
One of the most valu able NBA players rarely stepped foot on the court during a game. In fact, while he was considered so valuable to his team, he is also considered one of the worst players in all of NBA history. Jack Haley bounced around several teams during his professional basketball
career, eventually land ing a spot on the San An tonio Spurs. The most notable thing to happen to Haley during that point of his career was that he became a friend and confidant of Dennis Rodman. Not long after, Rodman was traded to the Chicago Bulls and with him, Haley.
Haley didn’t have stats like Rodman, didn’t play the game like Rodman, and certainly didn’t move like Rodman. But what he did have was an ability to bring the best out of his friend that could easily feel frustrat ed and defeated, some thing that heavily affect ed his game. The move to bring both players to the team proved to be the winning strategy for the Bulls. In the 19951996 season, the Bulls had a winning record of 87 games, including the NBA championship game, a record that still stands today. While Ha ley only played in the
final game of the regu lar season, he played a huge role in winning the championship title.
The Bulls moved through their post sea son games, sweeping their opponents until they met up with Seat tle’s Supersonics in the final round. They won the first two games in Chicago and the first game in Seattle, but then Supersonics came back to win the next two. As Rodman flew home after the two devastating loss es, he claimed he was done and wouldn’t play in their final game.
Haley must have given him the pep talk of a life time because not only did he convince Rod man to play but Rodman played a stellar game bringing in 19 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and not a single turnover. Seat tle’s coach, George Karl, claimed that they would have won the series if not for Rodman, and in essence, Jack Haley.
Whether its a profes sional basketball team or the local high school team, those players on the sidelines play an essential part to their team. Those players are the first to cheer on their teammates on the court. They are the first ones to send positive vibes out on the field and the first ones to boost their team’s morale. Any one that has ever played knows that without that cheering squad behind them, it’s easy to feel flat and unmotivated. Those players that celebrate the winning moments and lift their teammates up when things are down are vital to their team’s success.
From the bench, those teammates have an im portant perspective of the game that can help their teammates on the field that can’t quite see the whole picture. They can see their opponents weaknesses, those open areas and key plays that

to see it,” Colton said.
Many voters see par ticipation in the process as an important civic duty, and show up to vote regardless of the specific stakes of the election. While many of the county officials are running unopposed this election, many of the state wide offices have generated a certain amount of energy over the last six months or so.
The highest office up for election was Mike Crapo’s Senate seat. The polling leading up to election indicates that Crapo is running well ahead of Democrat Da vid Roth, and the seat is essentially secure for Republicans. In the House, Mike Simpson’s race against Democrat Wendy Norman is also not expected to be close.
The governor’s elec tion was certainly the most high profile, where incumbent gov ernor Brad Little faced off against Democrat Stephen Heidt, Indepen dent Ammon Bundy, the Libertarian Party’s Paul Sand, and the Constitu tion Party’s Chantyrose Davison. In the prima ries, Little won rough ly 148,000 votes, as
compared with Heidt’s roughly 25,000. The other party-affiliated candidates received un der 1,000 each. Ammon Bundy remained some thing of an unknown as of Tuesday, as without a primary there were no solid vote totals to look to as predictors for elec tion day performance.
Bundy does have a sig nificant foothold in a number of rural counties across Idaho, including Oneida, but it remains to be seen whether that base will translate to statewide resonance.
The Lieutenant Gov ernor’s race is one that was much more heated at the primary stage, with Scott Bedke run ning against current Lt Gov Janice McGeachin.
As a result of winning the primary, Bedke fac es Democrat Terri Man weiler and the Constitu tion candidate Pro-Life.
Shawn Keenan (D) and Phil McCrane (R) faced off in the Secre tary of State race. The secretary of state, along with a number of other duties, is responsible for overseeing elections in the state.
Dianna David (D), Brandon Woolf (R), and Miste Gardner (Con), were up for the State Controller’s position.
The Controller is es sentially the state’s ac countant and business manager, making sure that state accounts are accurate and balanced.
Raul Labrador (R) and Tom Arkoosh (D) were up for the Attor ney General’s position. Labrador, a prominent member of the Idaho congressional delega tion in the teens, was ahead in polling leading up to election day.
The Superintendent of Public Instruction posi tion featured Debbie Critchfield (R) and Ter ry Gilbert (D) in a head to head race. Critchfield defeated current Super intendent Sherri Ybarra in May’s primary for the right to contest in this election, but among Idaho’s statewide of fices, Superintendent is the one that vacillates between parties most frequently.
The last contested race on Oneida Coun ty ballots was that be tween Kelly Anthon (R) and Bill Drury (I) for legislative district 27 state senator. Both Drury and Anthon had spent a lot of time and resources in the coun ty in the lead up to the election.
The remaining elec tion questions on the
ballot all related to candidates running unopposed, including Legislative district 27 representative A Doug las Pickett, legisla tive district 27 B Clay Handy, County Com missioners Ken Elia son (4 year term) and Brian Jeppson (2 year term), County Clerk Lon Colton, County Treasurer Leigh Love,
can only be seen from the sidelines. That in sight they can give their teammates can be the difference of victory or defeat.
When the starting handful get tired, it’s the bench that has to come in and bring new energy and passion to the game to keep things alive. If they weren’t needed and important, coaches would never have more than their starters.
Their most crucial role is played daily as they put their time in at team practices. The level of intensity the non-starters bring matters as much or more than their coun terparts. They are the ones that push the team leaders to be better. It’s their tough offense, re lentless defense and un yielding drive that not only makes them better players, but their whole team. Bottom line, it takes every player in the gym to win.
With that being said,
it’s time to shed a lit tle light on those side line stars and give a big thank you to their hard work that easily goes un noticed. With so many great Dragon athletes, it's too hard to name you all, but your place mat ters and your coaches, parents and fans know it. Congratulations on a hard fought season, however it closed out. Thank you for sticking through the hard times to help your team have the great times. Thank you for coming, day in and day out, ready to play because you love your team and you love your sport. We are proud of all you do, but especial ly for your loyalty, com mitment and passion that breathes life into your team. Here’s a standing round of applause to all the sideline stars that make the Malad Drag ons teams the great they are!
County Assessor Kath leen Atkinson, County Coroner Brad Horsley, and sixth district magis trate David Hooste.
An amendment which would allow for special sessions of the legis lature was also on the ballot.
An advisory question about a potential future tax refund and increase in educational spending
was also included. The Enterprise plans to include a supplemen tal insert in this week’s paper with the provi sional results of Tues day’s election, unless an unforeseen delay causes this to be impossible.

While many people travel to South Africa to experience safaris and surf, Malad native and Academy Mortgage Northern Utah Area Manager Brett Mills recently traveled to the culturally diverse Afri can nation to serve.
A group of more than 160 loan officers, man agers, executives, and other company repre sentatives participated in Academy's Service Expedition to South Af rica in September. Mills' wife, Cheyla, and sons, Parker and Carson, were also participants.
The Expeditioners gave two days of service to benefit The Makwe tse School which is lo cated near Kruger Na tional Park and is filled to capacity with more than 700 students. De spite having classrooms overflowing with 100 students or more, the public school cannot and will not turn any child away or the school risks losing its govern ment funding.
A Memorial bench is placed at Malad City Park for those who lost their lives in a plane crash on January 15, 1996, in John Evans Canyon. Eight men from Salt Lake City –Gary Barber, Vie Pres ident of Marketing and Merlin Mikkelsen, Mar keting analyst for Swire Coca-Cola; Bill Gar cia and Bruce Keys of Scopes, Garcia and Car lisle Advertising Agen cy and Richard (Dick) Shipman, pilot and Scott Borgan, co-pilot.
Two of the surviving widows, Janice Taylor and Carrie Moore, met with Malad residents at the beginning of the Malad Valley Welsh Festival Choral Concert in 2016 to relate the ter rible story. They related that part of their heal ing was due to the love they felt from those who helped at the scene of the accident, in recovery efforts and from the citi zens of Malad.
They wanted to do something special for Malad, and so they had a memorial bench cr3e ated in remembrance of those who helped. It will be a lasting memorial not only to those who lost their lives that day, but also to the unselfish service provided in their time of need. The bench was recently placed at the Malad City Park. It is inscribed as follows: "To honor the recovery efforts that returned our loved ones after the Co ca-Cola plane crash that killed 8 SLC men Jan. 15, 1996, in John Evans Canyon. Your selfless Sacrifices will never be forgotten."
Derek F. Ipsen, for mer resident of Malad, was promoted to the rank of Colonel in the U.S. Army on October 1, 2017.

Veterans Day is an important day across the country. Set aside to honor the sacrific es of men and women who have served in the armed forces across the decades, Veterans Day allows those who have benefitted from the free doms provided at great personal sacrifice by those who have come before them to celebrate those sacrifices. Onei da County has a long history of both mili tary service and respect for that service. One of the longest running traditions locally is the Veterans Day celebra tion at Malad Elemen tary, which involves the reading of the selected winning essays, as well as a musical and visual salute to the Veterans of the county.

Do you know how to act around Veterans? Well if you don’t you can read all about Veterans and what to do if you see one.
First of all, veterans are the coolest people in the world and they deserve respect. Veterans do all of the eight habits. Veterans are very courageous, im portant, and prepared.
Secondly, veterans are very courageous. Veterans are courageous because when times get complicated or confusing, veterans go and fight even when times get tough.Veterans go through so much pain, some more than others but they are all heroes. Veterans are fighting in all kinds of biomes such as, deserts, coasts, and grasslands.
Thirdly If we didn’t have veterans we would have very different lives. We are so blessed to have veterans that care for us and keep us safe. Veterans are important because they are super smart and know what they are doing on the battlefield.
Veterans are super prepared for anything they encounter on the way to their destinations. Veterans are prepared for battle no matter what. If someone gets hurt fighting the medic drags them off the field and is prepared to try to save them. Veterans are always prepared.
In conclusion, veterans are the best because they do so much for us. Veterans are not just amazing but they are also courageous, important, and prepared.
Jettsen Miller Mrs. Bagley 5th Grade Veterans EssayI firmly believe that veterans make huge sacrifices, they are surly patriotic, and they are very selfless. They are the reason that we can do what we love. They are the reason we have freedom.
Veterans are patriotic; they will go into battle with their lives on the line. None of the veterans had to go into battle, but they signed up and bravely fought. Imagine going into battle with a huge chance that you may be killed or torchered. Every turn could be a death trap, and every second your life is in danger. Some care more about their country than themselves. So, as you can see, veterans are surely patriotic.
They also have to be willing to sacrifice everything. They risk their lives, and risk never seeing their families again. My uncle bravely fought, and while on a mission in Afganistan, the machinery did not detect a bomb under the road. While driving in the tank they went over the hidden bomb, and the bad guys det onated the bomb. Sadly, only him and one of his friends survived. My uncle lost his leg on that mission. That is why I know without a doubt that they sacrifice a lot.
I also know that veterans are selfless. They don’t have to protect our country, they didn’t have to go to war, but they chose to fight, and I highly honor them. I would not get to make my own choices, and I might even be in slavery. They fight so that we can have freedom and live the life we want to live. My great, great grandpa fought in World War 2, he and all veterans fought their own hard battles. I give thanks to all veterans and also to those who still fight for our freedom and our country today.
You can clearly see that veterans are truly America's heroes, they are our he roes. The least we can do is have Veterans Day to thank them for their sacrific es. I am so grateful for every single soul that has served in the Military branch. I picked these three words because I believe that Veterans are those three words and so so much more.
Rebecca Nelson Mrs. Allen 5th Grade Veterans Essay VeteransDid you know that veterans risk their lives for us? I love veterans a lot because they risk their lives knowing they are serving their country and themselves. The four words I chose to describe veterans are heroic, courageous, sacrificing, and humble. I love veterans a lot because they fight for us.
The first word is heroic. Veterans are heroic because they trained to fight knowing they could die in battle but they’ll still do it. My step great grandpa, Reed Henderson, was heroic by risking a part of his body. His hand got shot off, because in World War 2 he was in a hole hiding and the enemy threw a grenade in the hole. He didn’t want to die. So, he tried to throw it out but it was too late. His hand was blown up. For the rest of his life he had to have a hook. In my opinion all veterans are heros .
My next word is courageous. Veterans are courageous because they have courage to leave their homes to fight. I have some uncles and grandparents who have served and I think they have lots of courage. Veterans go to boot camps, and train and they have courage to do it. Fifth grade had a boot camp and it was exhausting. We had to run all along the back field, we had to do push ups, planks, and wall sits. It was hard. The next day it was painful to move. What I learned from that experience is that being in the military is painful and hard. That's why I chose the word courageous because they train and fight a lot for us.
My third word is sacrificing. I think veterans are sacrificing because they leave homes to let people have the freedom they have now. Some choices people can make are what to wear, what to eat, and what to do. Veterans are also sac rificing because they give up things. It’s hard to leave things, people, and pets that you love. Veterans are awesome, they leave families to fight for freedom and what's sad is that they miss their children's birth, their birthdays, holidays, and families.
My last and final word is humble. I think veterans are humble because they think about others and don’t brag. I also think they are humble because they serve others, putting their lives at risk to let us have freedom.
In conclusion, I chose these words because they mean a lot to me. I love the military. One fact about the military is that there are five branches, Army, Ma rine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard. As you can see, I think veterans are amazing.
