Enterprise The Idaho

4 U of I students found dead off campus

Four students of the University of Idaho, ranging in age from 20 to 21 were discovered deceased in an off-campus apartment Sunday night, according to the Moscow Police Department. Police are investigating the deaths as homi cides, though they have publicly stated that “there is no ongoing threat.” Officers responded to a call of an unconscious person before noon and Sunday and discovered the bodies. In-person and online classes at the U of I were canceled Monday, but set to resume Tuesday. News agencies across the country, including the Enterprise, have reached out for more details on the incident.

Veterans Day Program Celebrates Heroes

Malad is a town with a deep tradi tion of support for the military and all branches of the armed forces. From the amazing downtown Veterans me morial, to the vibrant American Le gion, to the traditional Memorial Day commemoration at the Malad City Cemetery, the town and county are first in line to pay respects to those who have sacrificed all in the service of our country.

One of the highlights of the local calendar for Veterans celebrations is the Malad Elementary Veterans pro

gram, which was held last week. The program is a chance for MES stu dents to express their patriotism, and to showcase the local members of the armed services, both past and present.

The program itself involved a num ber of musical numbers by MES stu dents, the participation of the Ernest W. Jones American Legion Post 65, the annual essay contest, and guest speaker Garen Atkinson.

The iconic family home from the film “A Christmas Story” (known as the movie that plays for a full 24 hours on cable during the holiday in question) is up for sale in Cleveland, Ohio. The house was purchased on eBay in 2004 after having been renovated following the filming. The buyers specifically restored the home to its appearance in the movie, as well as constructed several movie-related elements such as a museum on the site. There is no specific price listed with the home yet, though the sellers expect a high degree of interest in the property, which is a pop cultural landmark.

Idaho woman arrested in connection with missing child

Sarah Wondra was arrested in connection with the disap pearance of a 5-year-old boy in Fruitland over a year ago. In a convoluted story, information about the potential location of Michael Vaughan’s remains were received by law enforcement, leading them to a residence occupied by Wondra. Police are currently excavating the property in the search.

Good Samaritan

saves drowning

woman from Snake River

On Saturday, the Idaho Falls Fire Department and Bonneville County Sheriff were dispatched for a report of a potential drowning victim in the Snake River near John’s Hole Bridge.

The Agricultural Ex tension Office in Onei da County and the 4-H Club are another part of the district’s Afterschool program, hosting events during alternating weeks along with the school and library.

This month’s 4-H events included an ac tivity devoted to explor ing “communities” as a concept, and reinforcing the importance of civic engagement. Director Paula Hannah and Crys tal Kimberling were on hand to help with the ac tivities.

The activity began with introductions. Each of the kids present was given a specific ques tion to answer by way of introducing themselves to the group. “What is your favorite thing to do?” Logan was asked. “My name is Logan, and I like to play football,” he said. Other ques tions involved favorite desserts (“pie”), one thing the student would change about school (“stop bullying”), and what animal they would change into if they could (“arctic fox”).

After getting to know each other, Sherry Mo eller led the students in a discussion of communi ties in general, and what kinds of things it took to make one. “Families, houses, neighborhoods, people, pets, businesses, farms, police, firefight ers, hospitals, banks, trees, parks, post offices, libraries, gas stations, garbagemen, bees, wa ter, places to play,” and many others were sug gested as essential ele ments.

“That’s great!” Mo eller said. “Now that we know you all know what kinds of things we need, we’re going to ask you to draw a picture of the kinds of communities you want.”

The students were di vided into groups, who each came up with a diagram of their ideal communities. Although the drawings had a lot of similarities between them, each one had at least one unique ele ment, including creepy forests, a robbers’ hide out, and other…non standard elements.

Afterward, the stu dents took over the main arena area of the Event Center, where they participated in a game involving the spoonbased transportation of marshmallows from one student to another and into a bowl. On hand to help were the High School volunteers for

the afterschool program: Kayleigh Worrell, Ry ley Taylor, Gabie Lund, Paige Wilson, and Au brey Corbett.

I like helping kids,” Ryley Taylor said, and the other high school students agreed. “It’s something that I really enjoy, too,” Kayleigh Worrell said. “I’m on the road to becoming a teacher, and this is a great way to get some experience.” Of the vol unteers present, the ma jority of them had also

considered teaching as a future career path, or careers that involved working with children in one way or another.

The marshmallow contest itself was full of smiles, as one might ex pect. In the end, every group was given a prize of candy to share, and the remaining time was turned over to the kids to run out the leftover en ergy they had until their parents picked them up.

Annual Turkey Shoot held by the Malad Gun Club

On Saturday morn ing, November 19, the Malad Gun Club will be holding its annual Thanksgiving Turkey Shoot at the Trap Club located at the entrance of the Oneida County Fairgrounds. Winners will receive Thanksgiv ing turkeys or hams.

The event will start with a few warm-up rounds, and then com

petition. All the fun will begin at 10:00 a.m. This event has become a holiday tradition in Malad, with shooters including all levels of individuals and fami lies of shooters. Many of the shooters have grown up at the Malad Trap Shoots. A lot of good memories have been made there.

All shooters of all

classes are invited to sign up for the turkey shoot or come down to the trap club and watch the fun. If you would like a chance to win a turkey, you can buy a slice of the pie at Thomas Market, Sin clair Station, Chat & Chew, The Hubcap, and KC Oil.

Malad Volunteer Firemen’s 5th Annual Spirit of Christmas

Afterschool participants work on their design for Communities

Like seemingly ev ery election for the last decade, both sides of the political spectrum labelled the 2022 mid terms as “the most im portant election of our lifetimes.” Despite the hyperbole, with Repub licans claiming that the election was essential to stop inflation and so cialism and Democrats claiming that the elec tion was about the fate of democracy itself, the implications for the next two and possibly six years are certainly significant. While the results themselves were mixed in terms of par ty results, there were some clear takeways from the night, as well as some questions that remain to be answered.

National Politics

On the national level, the largest story coming out of the election was the Republicans’ un derperformance. Many pollsters and pundits had predicted a “red wave” of Republicans in House, Senate, and state level races. The prediction wasn’t un founded—the last time the party in power did not suffer severe losses during its first midterm elections was in 2002, when George W. Bush held an overwhelming ly high approval rat ing after the events of 9/11. Afterward, Bush himself, Obama, and Trump all faced serious midterm losses in their ensuing midterms. In flation and other eco nomic issues had also shown a tendency to ward Republicans on the generic ballot in the final weeks before the election, after Demo crats had gained in the polls following the Su preme Court’s abortion decision in Dobbs over the summer. Exit polls showed that voting on abortion rights was the stronger factor in the final voting than infla tion.

Senate

As of press time, the Democrats had official ly retained control of the Senate following the outcomes of Senate races in Arizona and Nevada, giving them fifty seats. During the last two years, the Sen ate has been split 50-50, with Vice President Ka mala Harris providing the tie-breaking vote.

The remaining senate contest—that between Hershel Walker (R) and Raphael Warnock (D)—is headed to an automatic runoff on December 6. Should Walker win, the Sen ate will essentially be in the same position it was during the last two years, with extremely close votes that often

came down to the VP tie-breaker.

Should Warnock win, the Democrats have a clear majority and a cushion against the two senators—Joe Man chin (WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (AZ)—who routinely vote against the Democratic ma jority, or ask for con cessions in the bills under consideration.

Were Warnock to win, Democrats will have an easier route to pass ing legislation, needing to convince only one of the two to go along with the caucus, rather than both.

One of the results of the election, regardless of the final outcome, is that Senator Mitch Mc Connell (KY) has like ly lost his last chance to be the leader of the Senate. In addition to the fact that Charles Schumer (NY) will re sume that position as a Democrat, there are rumblings from a num ber of Senate Repub licans that McConnell should be voted out as minority leader, due to his campaign spending decisions on candidates over the 2022 election season. Senator Mike Lee of Utah is one of several calling for a delay in leadership elections in the Senate to more fully vet the party’s options moving forward.

House

There are still a num ber of House races yet to be decided (17 as of press time), though Re publicans are currently in possession of 215 to the Democrats’ 204. 218 seats constitutes a majority in the House, and it’s very unlikely that even the major ity of the remaining contests will result in Democratic wins. Ulti mately, the GOP is like ly to own a 5-10 seat majority in the House. While any majority is good for a party, this margin is significantly less than the GOP itself was predicting ahead of the elections.

More importantly, this means that current House Speaker Nan cy Pelosi is very like ly to lose her position in what will probably her last opportunity as well. Kevin McCarthy, the minority leader, is the odds on favorite to become the Republican speaker of the house, though there is a more widespread movement to potentially elect someone else. McCar thy is being blamed by many on the right for fumbling the elections

and failing to ensure the promised red wave. Those most vocally in support of someone else belong to the Free dom Caucus, the most conservative wing of the GOP, which has had a strong history of sup porting Donald Trump.

There is an odd pro vision in the proce dures for voting in a Speaker that allows for someone from outside of Congress itself to be elected to the position. As a result, several unlikely but plausible ideas have been raised, such as electing Don ald Trump to the posi tion, or working with Democrats to elect Liz Cheney (whose term will end in January) to the position. The end result is that the new House leadership will likely enter into its term in charge in a bit of disarray after the leadership is installed, one way or the other.

State Elections

Idaho’s state elec tions played out largely to expectations, with Oneida County voting more or less in line with the state results.

Senator Mike Crapo (R) was easily re-elect ed, as was Representa tive Mike Simpson.

Phil McGrane (R) was comfortably elect ed as Secretary of State, Brandon Woolf (R) as the Controller, Julie Ellsworth (R) as the Treasurer, and Raul Labrador (R) as the At torney General. Debbie Critchfield (R) won the Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction position after defeating Sherri Ybarra in the primary. Kelly Anthon handi ly took the District 27 Senate seat.

The highest profile election in the state was that for Governor. While Brad Little eas ily won the election with over 60% of the vote, the significance of the Ammon Bundy (I) campaign was the main story line inside Idaho. Democratic can didate Stephen Heidt took just over 20% of the vote, which is not unusual in Idaho’s heavily red-state politi cal landscape. Ammon Bundy’s campaign, however, took almost as high a percentage with just over 17% of the vote. Considering that there are not likely many crossover voters between the Democrats and Bundy, the 17% would seem to reflect disaffected GOP voters, primarily those upset at Little’s use of federal funds and COVID re

strictions.

What’s Next?

Whether the move ment headed by Bundy continues to grow or not, it also reflects the current national divide in the Republican par ty, which underlies the aforementioned Speak er fight in the House. A split between the part of the party that has expressed a de sire to move past the Trump era and embrace a different policy ap proach—primarily rep resented by re-elected Florida governor Ron DeSantis—and those who campaigned with the strong endorsement of Trump. Nationally, Trump endorsed candi dates did not fare well in the elections, with high profile candidates like Mehmet Oz in Penn sylvania and Kari Lake in Arizona losing their races. Former presi dent Trump himself is expected to announce his re-election cam paign for 2024 during a major public event on Tuesday, which some Republican figures have publicly advised him against doing until after Georgia’s runoff election is decided.

President Biden will most likely face a num ber of hearings, and potentially even im peachment, under the new Republican House, should it ultimately win a majority. Depending on how slim the ma jority is, the hearings will likely be conten tious and end up being rejected by the Senate, in a similar manner to the way the Trump im peachments met their ultimate end.

Those who hoped the midterms would break the current entrench ment and gridlock in the national political scene will certainly not see that come to frui tion. As it has been for several decades now, the country is almost evenly divided in terms of national political di rection. Whether this can become a call for more collaboration and bipartisanship or sim ply another round of stagnancy remains to be seen.

Parade of Homes Scheduled for December 3rd

The Parade of Homes is returning to Malad in support of a fundraiser for the Iron Door Play house. The theme for the event is “Home for Christmas,” and will feature a number of local homes and build ings as a way of raising funds for several need ed projects for the Play house, including the re placement/repair of the roof and performance expenses.

Home Parades are a wonderful chance for the community to come together and enjoy the spirit of the season in the company of friends and neighbors. As the days draw shorter and the nights colder, a warm fire, cup of hot chocolate, and pleasant company and conversa tion are something we all look for.

The Parade of Homes is also a chance for some of Malad’s resi dents to show off their

Christmas spirit during the holiday season, and raise money for a good cause. The parade is a Christmas tradition here in town, and will kick December off strong!

The parade will be held on December 3, from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The cost to visit all 5 homes is $5, (kids 8 and under are free) and tickets can be pur chased at City Hall or Daisy Hollow on the day of the show, or at Iron Door Playhouse.

Transportation for those who don’t wish to drive will be available at the Iron Door Playhouse, and leave on the hour during the time of the parade.

The Oneida County Pioneer Museum and Oneida County Library will also be open to the public for displays of new holiday decora tions and treats, without a ticket necessary.

This year’s Parade of

Homes will include the following homes:

Stephanie and Doug Crowther—406 N. Main Street Mekelle and Jeff Hollingsworth—1420 N. 100 West.

Misty and Roland Amendola—63 S. Main Street (parking at 3-R Tires)

Laura and Jeremy De Jong—730 S. Hillcrest Loop Dr. Ed and Paula Thorpe—160 S. 300 East.

Oneida County Pio neer Museum—27 Ban nock St.

Oneida County Li brary—31 S. 100 West.

The Iron Door Play house, a historic fixture of downtown Malad City, has a number of building issues that are in need of support to fix, as well as ongoing costs associated with the performance and staging of entertain ment throughout the

year. If you’ve ever en joyed a hilarious melo drama over the fourth of July week, or one of the many yearly dramas

featuring local actors, both young and old, consider supporting the Theatre, as well as tak ing a tour of a number

of houses ready to wel come you in for the sea son and remind you of why you love living in the valley!

“We have to read pret ty much all night, be cause we haven’t read for a while,” Elle informed me. I was not in the mood for Nancy Drew and really wanted to fin ish my own book. She needs help with Nancy so I couldn’t just turn her loose on her own.

“Why don’t you read some of your picture books, like “Spooky Old Tree” or “Green Eggs and Ham,” I suggested. “I really want to read my book and you can read those by yourself. We will just curl up here to gether and read our own books.”

“I want to read Nancy Drew and I need your help,” Evidently, she was in the mood for Nancy.

“Alright, get the book.” Baldacchi was put on the shelf. We took turns reading and talking.

It was a pleasant evening.

After Elle was in bed, my thoughts went back to when we were getting ready to move to Georgia for a few years. That was a while back. My sister, Gia, and her family were going to house sit for us, so I had to box up and store a lot of stuff. It was all routine until I got to the books. That’s when the tears started falling.

“The Great Brain,” “The Hardy Boys,” “Where the Wild Things Are,”

“Harry Potter,” “Char lie and the Chocolate Factory,” “Chronicles of Narnia,” “The Giver,” “The Velveteen Rabbit,” the list goes on and on. Books and kids, books and conversations, books and cuddles, books and my boys. It takes time. It takes putting your own book on the shelf. It takes turning off the TV and computer. It takes a book and some conversa tion for the Good Life!

LOOKING BACK

5 YEARS AGO

(2017)

The annual Farm Bu reau Banquet was en joyed by members and guests on Friday, No vember 3. The men's and women's commit tees came together to plan the banquet, which featured an "ugly' ten der meal consisting of beef, cream corn, baked beans and spice cake with sauce.

The American Le gion Ernest W. Jones Post #65 posted colors to open the evening, after which dinner was served.

Entertainment was provided by the Travis Huckaby family who sang several numbers.

On Thursday after noon, Nov. 9, approxi mately 90 fourth grade students took the stage for Malad Elementary's annual Veterans Day program. The theme of their program was to teach the community about the Revolution ary War time period.

The American Legion Ernest W. Jones Post was on hand to perform the flag ceremony as well as to participate with students on stage.

Music teacher Chris tine Smith along with the fourth grade teach ers Ms. Evans, Mrs. Waldron, Mrs. Ihler, Mrs. Patton and Mrs. Talbot have been work ing with the students for the past two months in preparation for the program.

Students sang about the Declaration of In dependence and taught us that there were 56 men who signed their name to the document even though they knew the wrath of England would come upon them and their families, yet it didn't stop them. John Hancock who had al ready had run-ins with the king wanted to be sure that the King of England could read his name without his glass es, and that's why he signed it so big.

The annual Veteran's Day Program has be come a tradition not only for fourth graders, but also for many veter ans and their families. The time spent prac ticing and performing not only honors our veterans, but also is a great opportunity for students to learn a lot about our American history and to be able to teach others what they've learned.

The Malad Valley Welsh Society held its fall party on November 7 at the Oneida County Library.

Members and guests heard some of the win ning poems from the Welsh Festival read and

heard the stories behind some of the poems. Works from famous Welsh poets, including Dylan Thomas, were also read and discussed.

Wassail and short bread cookies made the evening a very Welsh event. The next event sponsored by the Welsh Society will be a party in early January to wel come the new year.

10 YEARS AGO (2012)

The new expansion of the Veterans Me morial was dedicated on November 8.

Bannock Street Detour Route on Depot Road

Mayor Hawkins and Kevin Harris from For est Green approached the council about the Bannock Street detour during its period of con struction. The mayor reported that funds had been found for the nec essary work on Depot Road during the time of the Bannock Street construction. Trucks will be detoured onto Depot Road during the construction proj ect. The project will improve and increase the storm drainage on Bannock, as well as im prove the road surface itself. The estimate is for a 98 day working day construction time.

The project is slated for a 2024 implementation time. The proposed de tour means that trucks will turn from Samaria lane to Depot road to Highway 36. Federal funds have allowed for a three inch overlay on the route. The coun ty will be required to pay for the 7.3% match on the overlay fee, or about $12,500. The federal funds would also require the county to sign an agreement with the city.

The overlay would happen at the beginning of the project, in order to prepare it for the pe riod of the detour. A “safety edge” tapering the three inch overlay would cost the county an additional $9,500, which is a percentage of the $120,000 cost absorbed by the grant.

The figures are esti mates based on the cur rent bids for the project. Dianna Dredge and the county engineer report ed that the project to straighten the S curve on Depot Road is wait ing on a response from the railroad before they can proceed.

The contract to ap prove the Depot Road detour plan was decid ed to be reviewed and finalized on the com mission’s agenda for the meeting scheduled for the 28th. “It needs to be a win-win, and we need to work with the city on this,” Bill Lew is said.

City Impact Zone

Proposal

Mayor Hawkins, Councilwoman Jaime Olsen, and Cody Brow er joined the commis sion to discuss the City/ County Impact Zone map proposal. Brow er began by explaining the next steps in the process. Idaho Code 67-6526 states that a board of individuals needs to come togeth er to approve the plan.

The mayor has des ignated Jaime, Lance Tripp, and Tyrell Neal from the City Coun cil to participate in the process. They, along with the commission ers, will need to select the additional three people to represent the public for the discus sion on the zone map.

The nine member panel will need to consider: 1) the trade area of the city; 2) geographic fac tors that might shape

the zone; 3) reason able annexation plans in the future. Brower presented a number of considerations related to these factors, includ ing potential liabilities of either expanding or contracting the impact zone, as well as planned use, past uses, relation ship of past boundaries to ownership. Once the three additional people are selected, the city and county will have a statutory 180 days to fi nalize the Impact Zone map process. The city and county determined to meet soon to select those individuals.

November 22 at 6:00 is the date set for the meeting.

Cherry Creek Estates PLAT Amendment

Rhonda Neal ap proached the com mission to discuss the Cherry Creek develop ment. The development had been previously ap proved by the commis sion. An amendment to the approval stipulates that the developer must maintain the roads as private roads, rather than attempt to turn them over to the coun ty for administration.

The initial PLAT listed several of the roads as dedicated to the coun ty, which the Road and Bridge department clarified should not be. The amendment clari fies the future owner ship of the roadways in the development. The commission voted to approve the Phase I First Amendment for the Cherry Creek sub division. The motion carried.

Home Owners Tax Cancellation

Kathleen Atkinson spoke to the commis sion about a tax cancel lation claim. A home buyer who had signed up for the homeowners exemption and quali fied after the beginning of the year was retroac tively exempted. The claimant had purchased a home which did not have the homeown ers exemption applied. An Idaho law allows for homebuyers to ap ply for the exemption at any time during the year, which is what happened in this case. $692.94 is the tax can cellation amount. A motion to approve the cancellation was ap proved.

Canvass of General Election

Lon Colton presented the official election re sults to the commission for certification. The county commissioners accepted the canvass of the Oneida County General Election Re sults. A motion to offi cially accept the results was made and carried.

SHSP Grant

The commissioners discussed the SHSP funds that had been made available to the county for this cycle, $21, 849.06. The funds are available, but don’t need to be spent until 2025. Funds from 2021 are still available, as well as other outstand ing SHSP funds. The funds can be used ex

clusively for emergen cy mitigation purposes.

The commission agreed to accept the funds by motion, which carried. The agreement was signed by the commis sioners.

Payment of Blinds for Annex and Road and Bridge Windows

Building

manager

Tory Richardson had requested blinds for the annex building and Road and Bridge de partment. The Home Depot contractor sug gested that they were not able to waive sales tax on the blind project, and offered a discount in lieu of tax waivers.

The total cost after the discount was just over $3,400. The blinds in both buildings are re ported to be in drastic need of replacement. A motion to approve the payment of $3,430.36 for the building repairs was made and passed.

County Surplus

The auction of coun ty surplus items runs through November 17.

Lon Colton expressed some concern about the website administrat ing the county’s sur plus item sale. Some pictures for the items themselves were report ed to be unavailable.

Colton felt that the lack of images might reduce the potential for bids on the site.

Commissioner Chris tophersen was charged with contacting the auction site.

Weed Department Building

Commissioner Chris tophersen reported on bids for the Weed De partment building. He expressed the opinion that contractors were not interested in bid ding at present due to a lack of clarity about the legal/technical reg ulations required for a building which would store chemicals of the type used by the depart ment. Attorney Brower suggested that he felt a clear engineering plan for any new county owned buildings was essential, primarily for liability purposes. Lon Colton stated that he felt the primary issue was chemical contain ment that would meet the requirements for such a building.

The commission decided to look into various options for en gineering consultants and discuss moving forward with the pro posed building during the next commission meeting.

Event Center

Rental

The commission fol lowed up its discussion from last meeting about general Event Cen ter cleanliness. Some complaints had been re ceived about the facili ty by renters. The com mission was reported to be in discussion with the relevant personnel.

Land Purchase for

Fair Grounds

Jared Simpson and Ken Moss, Jr. came be fore the County Com mission regarding the land purchase agree ment for six acres near

the Fairgrounds. In or der for the purchase to be completed, the com mission needed to sign the purchase agree ment. Jared Simpson, the landowner, present ed the agreement to the commission. The prop erty has been surveyed. The land is being pur chased by the county in order to allow for future expansion of the Fairground facilities, including a planned future indoor arena on the property. The sign ing of the agreement is not the final step in the process, as a title search and full closing are still required before the land can legally become the property of the county. The six acres at $20,000/acre results in a $120,000 purchase price for the county. The county’s cost has been supplied by the county’s onetime expense budget. The closing date listed on the agreement was November 29. The county is also splitting the cost of the survey, which comes to $625, as well as closing costs. The exact amount will be finalized by the next commission meeting when the sale is final ized. A motion to ac cept the land agreement for $120,000 from the one-time expense ac count was made and passed unanimously. The commissioners signed the agreement documents afterward. The commission ex pressed gratitude to Ken Moss, Jr. for work ing to pursue the land purchase. In his opin ion, and that of the fair board as well as mem bers of the commission, the window of time in which the land might still be purchased by a public entity rather than a private develop er was rapidly closing.

Ken Eliason inquired about what would be done with the land un til it becomes ready for development. It was determined to allow farming to continue on the property in the meantime in order to keep weeds down.

A discussion of ex actly how the land would be managed un til it becomes ready for improvement was add ed to the agenda for the next meeting.

Fair Board Member Replacement

Idaho Code 22-202 lays out the require ments for electing a new Fair board mem ber. Members are re quired to be from a variety of industries, and represent all areas of the county as much as is possible. The county commission is required to fill the va cancy as promptly as possible. Rhett Dan iels has resigned from the board, and his seat is now open. The offi cial appointment of the new member was also placed on the agenda for the next meeting.

Commissioner Eliason will contact the candi dates in the meantime.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE SIXTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF ONEIDA MAGISTRATE DIVISION

Fred Jones

Fred Jones ap proached the council about noise from idling semi trucks at the lots near KJ’s/Maverick. A city ordinance prohib its trucks from creat ing a noise nuisance by idling unnecessarily.

Jones reported that in his observation, many trucks spend 14 hours or more a day constant ly idling. Jones hoped that the city might be able to do something to enforce the ordinance regarding vehicles.

The ordinance prohib its engines from run ning at length from the hours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Violators are sub ject to a misdemean or charge that carries a fine of up to $2000.

The council felt that it was important to en force ordinances which were on the books, and decided to consult the sheriff’s office about enforcement.

Bannock Street Tap Grant Approval

The grant covering the sidewalk project on Bannock street requires the city to pay $4,000 to Idaho Transportation Department to initiate. A motion to agree to maintaining the grant and giving the mayor the power to sign the document was passed.

Sewer Lagoon Project Update

The mayor updat ed the council on the current progress of the sewer lagoon project. She reported that the lagoons were essen tially built and are un dergoing the process of having the liners for the

lagoon tested. In order to test the liners, the city needs to use sev eral million gallons of water. In order to avoid using any potable wa ter, the city is seeking permission from the DEQ to use wastewater for the test. The test will last thirty days, and requires a stringent process in order to be verified as effective for a sewage system.

Water and Sewer Hookup Fees

The city has been ad vised to raise the fees for sewer and water hookups to come more in line with other coun ties in the area. Cur rently, the hookup fee is $1000. The recom mendation is to raise the fee to $2500. The related issue of impact fees for development projects was also dis cussed. Preston’s sew er connection fees are $5000 for residential hookups.

City Councilman Tyrell Neal asked whether impact fees and hookup fees tended to discourage develop ment or not. Several councilmembers re lated experiences with developers who felt that Malad’s fees were very low, and they felt that raising the fees to be closer to those of surrounding coun ties wouldn’t be pro hibitive. The city is waiting for a complete water study to begin formulating a Capital Improvement Plan to begin updating and in some cases repairing the city’s water system.

The city does not cur rently have any impact

fees in place. Impact fees as designed to help defray the cost of city services (for instance, attaching the water and sewer lines to the city’s infrastructure). Impact fees essentially shift the burden of construction costs for development to the parties involved in development, rather than the taxpayers who otherwise provide the funding. Since a water line hookup costs the city $2100, and the fee is $1000, the difference is paid for out of the city’s budget. A raised hookup fee or impact fee would not affect anyone who is not de veloping property. The council decided to examine the fees cur rently in place in sur rounding areas before coming to a decision on the potential fee raise.

Co-op

The council dis cussed its future plans for the Co-op building. Lance Tripp suggest ed that since it would most likely be impos sible to fund the en tire co-op restoration from a single grant or other source, it would be wise to develop a phased plan for the steps that will be re quired to complete the project. This would al low for individual steps in the overall process to be handled one at a time and in an efficient sequence that could take advantage of small grants as they became available.

Christmas Party

The council dis cussed its plan for the annual Christmas par ty for employees. The

council decided to hold their party at the Dude Ranch.

Business License

Two business licens es were presented to the council, one for a laundromat and the other for a tree nursery. The council expressed their opinion that the town could certainly use a laundromat. The business license for Steve and Annalise At kinson was approved for a laundromat. A business license for “The Adventure Zone” Christmas tree sales was approved. The business will be locat ed on 50 S. where the Frozen Cow was locat ed during the summer.

Reports

Tyler Webster report ed that the old chlorine tanks have finally been removed to make way for the new wastewater plant.

Webster reported that the lights around the greenbelt were being installed. The lights are spaced as closely as possible to even ly along the walking route.

Webster discussed the plans for the com pany who will be run ning the wastewater treatment plant. JUB Engineering will be checking the plans to make sure they will work with the city’s in frastructure.

Webster would like to set a date for replac ing the stop sign at the intersection of 300 E .and Jenkins in order to make sure that driv ers are prepared for the change. Earlier in the year, the north and

south signs were re moved in order to al low for more efficient truck traffic along the route. It had been sug gested by a number of people since that time that without stop signs coming out of the high school exit road the po tential for an accident was high. Brad Hors ley had also spoken to the council about problems with funeral processions needing to cross through the inter section.

The question of whether it would be possible to convert some segments of the road as a school zone was raised. Webster planned to consult on the subject.

Shelly Williams from the Planning and Zon ing Commission up dated the council on progress to the com mission’s work on or dinance language reg ulating townhouses.

PZ needs to find a new member to complete their roster. The coun cil recommended that finding a member who lived within the city’s impact zone would be helpful, since many of the upcoming develop ment issues will end up affecting those resi dents in particular.

The mayor explained that IDAWY is not picking up the old, small sized garbage cans.

The city and coun ty are both auctioning surplus material and equipment through No vember 17.

Tyrell Neal men tioned a number of potholes on Bannock

street that needed to be fixed. Webster said that they have been as of the meeting. Some complaints about traf fic that presented a danger to pedestrians on during afternoons 3-6 on Mon. and Wed. This was especially true during the time that dance classes let out.

Jaime Olsen report ed that she had created a map of the proposed impact zone overlaid with the current impact zone.

Lance Tripp reported that materials recent ly sold from the city’s splash pad had been sold in poorer condi tion than the buyer ex pected. The buyer was requesting that the city supplement the repair of the equipment.

Larry Thomas raised the issue of voles at the cemetery. Webster ex plained that the prob lem will likely require a pest control expert to remedy.

Vision Insurance

The mayor explained that the current city in surance plan through IIIA has a range of vi sion plans that she felt city employees might be interested in. The plans would be made available to city em ployees who could use a vision plan. The council agreed to pres ent the option to city employees, including those on the city coun cil. A motion to add the vision plan to the ben efits package for city employees was made and passed.

Most of us have expe rienced at least one inju ry in our lifetime. While some injuries only limit us for a short period, oth ers last longer and can become chronic.

In June 2017, Craig’s foot was crushed in an accident. After a diffi cult and unsuccessful surgery, amputation below his right knee was deemed medically necessary. Fortunate ly, Doctors Plowman and Pederson suggested Hyperbaric Treatment rather than amputation. Craig participated in 50 hyperbaric sessions driv ing to Logan daily over the next few months with the help of family and the community. He was soon able to walk again. Five years later Craig still works every day on his right foot, grateful he still has it attached. “Hyperbaric treatments saved what was left of my foot, and began a lifetime interest in the science of Hyper baric Oxygen Therapy,” he said.

In April 2022, Craig watched his niece recov er from what could have been a life altering con cussion using 10 hyper baric therapy sessions at OHS in Burley.

A few months later, Craig decided to help his wife complete hy perbaric therapy for a

new diagnosis of what is supposed to be a lifelong health battle. The posi tive results from Hyper baric Therapy were fast and exciting. The round trip commute to Burley was less exciting. 2200 miles later, Craig decid ed to bring hyperbaric therapy home to Malad for his extended family, friends and community. “We have already wit nessed some incredible success.”

Brody H, an instructor at ISU stated, “About three years ago I was diagnosed with highly inflammatory psoriatic and rheumatoid arthri tis. This made it incred ibly difficult to complete day-to-day tasks for a couple of years. After my first 10 hyperbaric sessions with Oxygen Health Spa in Malad last month, I found myself playing with my two young daughters on the living room floor for the first time in years. I have experienced a significant increase in mobility and a powerful decline in pain and inflammation.”

After three weeks of regular sessions, Amy said, “Hyperbaric Treat ments at OHS in Malad have provided me with some mental and emo tional stability in the face of a deep depression after receiving a new and terrible health diagno sis.”

The Oxygen Health Spa in Malad Idaho

was recently opened as a branch to the OHS in Burley, Idaho; Twin Falls, Idaho; Chattanoo ga, Tennessee; and now Malad, Idaho. Chris, Angellena, Craig and Ja mie Jacaway are excited to partner with Kirk and Debbie Buckley to bring this powerful healing system closer to their hometown.

Malad Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can improve your health with compelling longterm benefits. Under hyperbaric conditions the human body will experience faster tissue regeneration, increased energy, stem cell pro duction, reversed effects

of aging, reduced stress, and increased health at a cellular level. Everyone suffers from the effects of aging, diminished health, chronic conditions, pain, cancer, inflammation or other conditions. Hyper baric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) will speed up the healing process of the body, your body knows how to heal yet it lacks a sufficient amount of oxy gen to perform advanced healing functions. While receiving HBOT abun dant amounts of oxy gen will be delivered to every cell in your body initiating healing pro cesses in every single cell. All people can ben efit from hyperbarics. As

you receive hyperbaric therapy you will lay in a comfortable hyperbar ic chamber breathing pure oxygen. Within the chamber air pressure will be increased beyond normal levels, as this happens exponentially higher amounts of ox ygen will be dissolved into the bloodstream, this oxygen will be de livered to all cells in the body including damaged and diseased tissue ini tiating healing and stem cell production.

Shipping Day on the Ranch

By Allison Eliason

If you have spent some time on the rural roads of Idaho lately, it's likely you have seen your fair share of cattle trailers and semis haul ing cattle around. A lot of operations are taking their cows from summer pasture to fall pasture or bringing them home from the range or even sending them off to the auction. For a number of ranches, those trailers have their year’s work in them- the calves they have been raising all year long. It may seem like just another load of cattle to you, but to that one rancher, that load means so much more.

It's no secret that ranching and raising cat tle can be stressful with so many factors out side a rancher’s control. Even before the calves are born, there are things to worry about like mak ing sure that the mother cows are getting ade quate nutrition for her growing calf. Once the calves hit the ground, rancher’s worry about calves getting too cold on those long winter

nights, about mother’s not claiming their calves or sickness moving through the herd.

After a demanding calving season, it’s time for branding and spring turnout, both times that if done right can go seamlessly but if done wrong, can bring cha os for the summer. The cattle spend the summer months on the range and so long as there is good rain and good feed, all should be well. But if there is neither rain nor feed, it adds a lot of wor ry to a rancher.

As the summer winds down, it’s time to bring the calves home to be weaned, probably the most stressful change they will ever encounter. The stress of the transi tion can weigh on a calf's health, and, once again, if done right things will be just fine, but if done wrong, can lead to a lot of bad.

There is a lot to wor ry about as shipping day creeps closer for a ranch er. They ask themselves questions like, are the calves gaining enough, are all the calves off the range, are the calves

staying healthy, are we keeping any sickness at bay, do we have the numbers to meet our contract and so many more. Rancher’s worry because their whole op eration depends on that one day of the year to make it to the next.

They call it shipping day or weigh day but it all adds up to a ranch er’s pay day. It is the day they bring in all the calves they have worked, fed, doctored and raised over the year to see if they have met the mark. Most opera tions have a contract to fill with a specific num ber of calves to be sold at a specific weight, the target they work toward everyday since before those calves were born. The evidence of how well the year shaped up to be is written on the scales as the calves are counted and weighed.

Once the numbers and weights have been tak en down, all that is left to do is load the calves on the trailer. And once the last calf has stepped on and the door has been closed, that rancher can finally let out that sigh

of relief of another ship ping day done and year’s check in hand.

There really aren’t that many businesses that sell their entire year’s prod uct in a single day. It is something that is unique to production agricul ture. On a good year that calves are heavy and prices are good, this is great. On a hard year when feed is low, calf weights are short and prices are shorter, it’s not so good.

Fluctuating markets with ever changing ex

penses make raising cattle a gamble worthy of Vegas. Ranchers are both subject to the cost demands their suppliers charge and then are at the mercy of the mar kets when they put their calves up for sale, never negotiating the price of their expenses or setting the price of their prod ucts.

Regardless of what is being thrown their way, ranchers make the most of their one pay day as they work ev ery day each year. It’s

called the rancher’s pay day because it is the day the check is cut for the calves they’ve sold, but the money isn’t the only pay a rancher gets that day. The other pay, that feeling of fulfillment af ter another year of hard work and giving it your all, may not pay the bills, but it is the back ing to head into another year of worries and un knowns for themselves and for families around the world.

Veterans Day Program Celebrates Heroes

To open the event, Principal Sarah McIn tyre welcomed the audi ence and thanked them for coming outto recog nize the hard work the students had done in preparation, as well as the sacrifices made by those who were being honored during the day.

The event is one that many people in town look forward to, both to see their children realize the solemnity of the oc casion as well as to see relatives commemorat ed.

The colors were post ed by the available members of the Ernest W. Jones 65 American Legion Post, after which the pledge and national anthem were joined in with by the crowd.

During the course of the program, the three winning essays from the student writing and speaking contest were presented, Jaxson Kim berling, Rebecca Nel son, and Jettsen Miller. The essays in their full form were printed in last week’s edition of the Enterprise.

As an acknowledg ment of all the branches of service, a medley of each branch’s song was performed, while Vet erans from the Legion as well as the audience were honored and asked to stand and salute. The Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard songs were all performed with gus to.

Keynote speaker Gar en Atkinson, who served for eight years in the Army National Guard, then spoke. “I appre ciate the opportunity to speak to you today at this Veterans program. I joined the National Guard in my junior year of high school. I had the great opportunity to be put on a rifle team that

got to go all over the country to compete in shooting competitions and represent the state of Idaho. I went to boot camp the day after grad uation instead of going on my senior trip with all of my friends. I spent eight years in the Na tional Guard after that.

Although I never got deployed, my unit stayed on high alert to be ready to go out on a moment’s notice during Desert Storm. I feel that I will always have a brotherhood with the people I served with. One of my best friends is still serving in the unit. I actually served with some people you all know—Dr. Abrams, Dick Robbins, and Don Lee Hess. My son Aus tin also joined the Army National Guard and spent time serving our country. He had the op portunity of being in the Honor Guard, where he attended graveside ser vices, paying final re spects for veterans who have passed on.

I have often said that every young man and every young woman that wants to ought to either serve their country, or serve a mission for their

church. You will learn things in the service of others that you won’t learn anywhere else.

I love this country, and I have deep respect for its flag. I have also been a big football fan as well. But when the NFL play ers started disrespecting our flag I stopped sup porting the NFL. I don’t watch those games any more. That flag is the reason those players get paid a lot of money for doing what they love.

People in our country often see athletes as he roes, but as Bob Dylan said, ‘I think of a hero as someone who un derstands that you have a responsibility that comes with freedom.’

And John Thune said, “I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a recognized sym bol that stands for lib erty and freedom. It is a history of our nation, and it is marked by the blood of those who died defending it.”

I recently joined the American Legion and received their magazine. In it, there is a poem that describes what a veter an is: ‘V is for Veteran. When we’re thanked for our service, we reflect

on how we serve. The way we had to break in our boots as we gath ered up our nerve. The nicknames that made us laugh. The smell of chili-mac MREs. The pride we felt with that first oath, the friend ships that came to be. So at the game when we’re asked to stand, it’s not applause that’s in my sight, I’m look ing around for you me friend, to see who’s on my left and my right.’

Let us not forget that this country is so great because of our soldiers. Let’s respect our flag, thank our soldiers, and be respectful and kind to everyone around us so that we can continue en joying the life we live in this great nation. Thank you.”

Following Atkinson’s remarks, a slide show

presentation featured the pictures of Oneida coun ty Veterans from the early twentieth century up to currently serving members of the armed forces. The slideshow was a solemn testament to the large number of Oneida county residents over the last hundred plus years who have chosen to serve their country domestically and overseas, many of them losing their lives in the service of a greater good.

MES fifth graders closed out the program with a rendition of “I Love that Grand Old Flag,” after which the colors were retired and many of those in atten dance took time to greet both the Veterans and the students.

The event was direct ed by MES’s Christine

Smith, who also provid ed the script and music. Decorations were creat ed by Christine Smith, Cinnaman Allen, Brinn Bagley and Kallie Blais dell. The lighting and sound were handled by Susan Clark and Trina Grote. Judges for the written essay contest were Jean Schwartz, Anne Crowther and Lois Willie. Judges for the essay presenta tion were Jeff and Lau rie Richins, and Garry and Geneal White. The slide presentation was created by Kerry Evans and Cinnaman Allen. The Veterans Bootcamp Presenters were Wyatt Allen and Cinnaman Al len. Auditorium Main tenance was provided by Devin Morrison and Jeff Richins.

Thanksgiving recipes

Nothing—it's already stuffed.

All jokes aside, it can’t be Thanksgiving dinner without turkey's fa vorite pairing- stuffing. There’s no wrong way to enjoy the seasonal staple and if you are ready to try something new, here are a handful of recipes you might want to try to change up your stuffing this year (Jokes taken from https://www.countryliving.com/life/a28522581/ thanksgiving-jokes/)

BUTTERY HERB STUFFING

howsweeteats.com

From

18 to 24 ounces bread cubes, (1.5 loaves of bread, or about 12 to 14 cups) preferably toasted or stale

1 cup unsalted butter

3 cups diced sweet onion, roughly

2 large onions

2 cups diced celery

6 garlic cloves, minced kosher salt and pepper

3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

2 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock

2 large eggs

a mixture of fresh herbs for sprin kling

Note about the bread cubes! You have options here. Stale or toasty bread works best. The first option is that you can cut 1 ½ pounds of bread into cubes, place it in a large baking dish, loosely tent with foil and let it sit overnight.

You can also cut the cubes and put them in oven, toasting them at 350 degrees F until they are like croutons, about 15 minutes or so. Finally, you can buy the toasted bread cubes in bags from the store. It’s your choice! You can also choose the size of your cubes. They can be small or larg er for a more rustic stuffing. My mom has always used a mixture of stale and fresh bread. Also, I like to use different kinds of bread (usually two), like a sour dough and italian, and mix the cubes. It provides great texture.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a 9x13 baking dish (you can also use a larger baking dish or a larger foil roasting pan too!) with melted butter, olive oil or spray with nonstick spray. Place the bread in a large mixing bowl (this may be easier for you to stir!) or the baking dish that you will bake it in. You can also separate this into two baking dishes if it's easier.

Heat the butter in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the onion, celery and garlic with a big pinch of salt and pepper - at least ½ to 1 teaspoon each. Cook until the onions and celery soften, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the sage, parsley and rosemary. Cook for another minute. Stir in 1 cup of stock.

Pour the onion celery mixture over the bread crumbs and toss well to coat.

In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the remaining 1 ½ cups stock and 2 eggs.

Pour that mixture into the bread cubes and stir and fold the bread cubes until thoroughly combined. Bake the stuffing for 45 to 50 minutes, until the internal tem perature registers 160 degrees F. If the stuffing is getting too browned, you can tent it with foil. I have successfully made this a day ahead of time and reheated it - it’s just as good! emove the pan from the fridge 60 minutes before reheating it. You can also use this mixture to stuff the bird if you wish!

CORNBREAD AND SAUSAGE DRESSING

From thepioneerwoman.com

4 cups cubed cornbread

4 cups cubed French bread

1 pound sage sausage

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter

2 cups finely diced celery

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped 2 carrots, peeled and very finely diced

1 large onion, diced 4 cups low-sodium chicken or tur key stock, plus more if needed 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme 1/4 teaspoon ground sage Pinch of turmeric Kosher salt

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Spread the cornbread and French bread cubes out onto sheet pans. Let them dry out for several hours and up to overnight. You want them to be crisp/stale. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medi

um-high heat. Crumble the sau sage into the skillet and brown un til cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the sausage into a large bowl and drain half the grease. Lower the temperature under the skillet to medium. Melt the butter, then add the celery, rosemary, carrots and onions. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, thyme, sage and turmeric and bring to a boil.

Add the bread to the bowl with the sausage and toss to combine. Gradually ladle the broth mix ture into the bread and sausage mixture, tossing lightly as you go, until completely combined. Taste and season with salt. If the mixture needs more moisture, you can add more stock as desired. Stir in the parsley and transfer to a baking dish. Bake until golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes.

APPLE, CELERY AND ONION STUFFING

From rachaelrayshow.com

1 stick butter, divided 5 to 6 ribs celery from the heart, about 2 cups, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

2 large crisp apples, such as Pink Lady, Honeycrisp or Macoun, left unpeeled and diced

2 large fresh bay leaves

1/2 cup loosely packed herbs such as fresh parsley, sage, rose mary and thyme, finely chopped Salt and pepper

6 cups homemade croutons of stale bread or 1 bag stuffing cubes, sage and onion or tradi tional Pepperidge Farm brand

1 tablespoon Bell’s ground poultry seasoning

1 quart chicken or turkey stock Preheat oven to 375°F.

Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When butter foams, add the cel ery, onion, apples, bay, herbs, salt and pepper, and cook to soften 10-12 minutes. Add cubed bread, season with Bell’s and moisten with stock; stir to absorb.

Butter a casserole dish with 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining butter and fill pan with stuffing. Use the rest of the butter to dot top. Roast the stuffing 30-40 minutes until crispy at the edges.

SEMI-HOMEMADE THANKSGIVING STUFFING

From fedandfit.com

6-to-10- ounces boxed stuffing mix

1/2 pound breakfast or Italian sausage

1/2 small yellow onion diced

2 stalks celery diced

2 cloves garlic minced

1 teaspoon dried herbs

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 egg whisked

1 1/2 cups chicken or turkey stock

3 tablespoons melted butter

Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Add the sausage to a large skillet over medium heat and cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned, then remove

the sausage from the skillet. Add the onion, celery, and garlic to the skillet and cook for 5-7 min utes, until softened, then remove from heat.

Remove the seasoning pack from the stuffing mix, then add the stuffing croutons, sausage, cooked veggies, herbs, salt, egg, and stock to an 8×8 inch pan or other 3-quart baking dish and mix it all together. Press the stuffing into an even layer in the pan, then drizzle the top with butter.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top of the stuffing is browned and crisp. Let cool slightly, then enjoy.

It’s Thanksgiving day and the house is full of friends and family. The kitchen is busy with the holiday feast well underway and the Mac ey’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is on the tele vision with a packed schedule of football games to follow. The weather has turned cold, keeping the littles ones inside and with a packed house, things might be getting a little crazy. A few easy, holi day crafts just might be the ticket to keep them entertained and add a little extra holiday cheer.

The kids can make their own fun edible turkeys with a few pan try items like oreos, butterscotch chips, can dy corns and frosting. Place two small dots of white icing for eyes, dot the back of a butter scotch chip for a beak, stuff a few candy corns into the oreo filling and add a red line of frost ing to the beak to add a gobbler.

With just beads and pipe cleaners, the lit tle ones can make their own easy and colorful Indian corn to deco rate the dinner table.

Simply twist together four tan pipe cleaners

in the middle to create eight half lengths in the shape of a star. Thread the beads on each pipe cleaner, leaving about an inch and half left to twist together to create the husks and tie the ends together.

Let the kids take on the task of creating the family thankful turkey to keep them enter tained as well as help everyone count their blessings this year.

Start with a turkey body on the wall and add col orful feather cutouts that have written on them the things each person is thankful for.

As the turkey feathers grow bigger and more colorful, it will be easy to see just how much there is to give thanks this season.

The Thanksgiving pie won’t keep, but this sweet craft is sure to last for years to come.

Out of orange craft pa per, cut out triangles for an easy pie shape. Add a little crust on the end by accordion folding a strip of while paper. Top it off with a little white pom pom for the whipped cream and you have yourself a little pumpkin pie.

String several of them together and you have

yourself some sweet pie garland that is sure to last far longer than this year’s pie lineup.
