4-H Spring Break a Big Success

Over the course of last week’s Spring Break, the 4-H Program and Agricultural Extension Office hosted a multiday series of events full of education, entertainment, and practical skill building. Over the course of the Spring Break week, many interested students attended demonstrations and classes on topics such as preparing a 4-H Demonstration, Learning Roping Skills, Exploring STEM activities, exploring Rangeland issues, Using ultrasound technology in animal marketing strategies, and Raising bunnies. A craft project with Chris Jensen from Daisy Hollow was also featured.
Kristal Ford, award-winning 4-H Demonstrator at last year’s Eastern Idaho State Fair, presented an informative and interesting slideshow on how to create a 4-H Demonstration, and what kinds of things the judges look for in such a presentation. Ford walked the attendees through the process from topic selection to in-person presentation techniques.
While Ford herself has always had a fascination with animal anatomy and physiology (her Demonstration last year, for instance, was on the digestive systems of horses), she emphasized that a whole range of topics are possible, and as she stated “you have to really care about your topic to do a good presentation on it.” Some possibilities she mentioned included color patterns of horses, dog groom-
ing techniques, types of crochet yarn, bridles, how to show sheep, and others. “Basically, anything that you are really interested in.”
After discussing good topic selection, Kristal went through the parts of the Demonstration, from the introduction (“which should definitely be catchy—that’s something the judges look for”), to the body of the presentation (“which needs to be organized in a clear way, and supported with good information”), to the conclusion and references. Ford advised stu-
dents to have a “plan to engage with the audience,” which very well might include “some physical or visual object to keep attention.” She also advised speakers to be confident and know their material well.
She summarized what judges are looking for is an interesting topic, a catchy introduction, clearly organized steps, and good audience engagement.

Finland joins NATO
Several months after petitioning to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the mutual defense partnership of primarily Western European countries, Finland has officially become a member state. Internationally, the news was received positively outside of Russia and several allied countries. Sweden, who like Finland has been invaded by the former Soviet state in the past, is waiting for its membership to be accepted as well.
Jury selection begins in Vallow Daybell trial
Jury selection started Monday, April 3, 2023 in the disturbing murder trial of Lori Vallow Daybell, the Idaho woman accused of killing her two youngest children and her husband's late-wife nearly three years ago. The court aims to get to a pool of 42 potential jurors in order to narrow down to their 12 jurors and six alternates, who will be the final jurors overseeing the trial. At the end of the day Monday, the court only had 17 jurors they passed on to the next phase. None of the potential jurors from the last group of the day made it through, as their presence on the trial was mostly challenged by attorneys. Astronauts selected
for first moon mission in 50 years
Astronauts who will helm the first crewed moon mission in five decades were revealed on Monday, queuing up the quartet to begin training for the historic Artemis II lunar flyby that is set to take off in November 2024.NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) announced the four astronauts who will venture around the Moon on Artemis II, the first crewed mission on NASA’s path to establishing a long-term presence at the Moon for science and exploration through Artemis. The agencies revealed the crew members Monday during an event at Ellington Field near NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The crew assignments are as follows: Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist 1 Christina Hammock Koch, and Mission Specialist 2 Jeremy Hansen. They will work as a team to execute an ambitious set of demonstrations during the flight test.
Idaho Gas Prices, potential spike on the way
Idaho drivers are still saving at the pump this week. But for now, it’s the calm before the storm. According to AAA, today’s average price for a gallon of regular in the Gem State is $3.55, which is about four cents less than a week ago and 11 cents less than a month ago. Meanwhile, the national average currently sits at $3.51 per gallon, which is seven cents more than a week ago and 12 cents more than a month ago.
Malad Easter Egg Hunt
Malad Annual Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by the Oneida County EMT’s is scheduled for Saturday, April 8, 2023, at the Malad City Park 10 a.m. sharp! Weather may be a factor in this year’s event. Be sure to check out Oneida County Ambulance Facebook page for map and information.

Malad Stake
Spring is a welcome and wonderful time of the year, especially after a long, cold, wet, and dark winter, which this winter has been. The Lord has heard our prayers for moisture and has opened the windows of heaven to pour us out a blessing, “that there shall not be room enough to receive it” (Malachi 3:10). We are so grateful for this blessing. As the warmth of the sun returns and the snow melts, we again experience the joy of renewed life and hope for the future.
This thought by Bernard Williams comes to mind, “the day the Lord created hope was probably the day he created spring.”
This winter has also been long for those who have lost loved ones, are suffering with physical or mental illness, are feeling alone, forgotten, or afraid and for those praying for family and friends in need. This type of winter darkness can be part of our lives even in the sunlight of summer. Knowing that mortal life would be this way at times, Jesus Christ invites all to “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is
light” (Matthew 11:2830).
Russell M. Nelson, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, recently taught, “the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives. When the focus of our lives is on God’s plan of salvation . . . and Jesus Christ and His gospel, we can feel joy regardless of what is happening—or not happening—in our lives. Joy comes from and because of Him.
[Jesus Christ] is the source of all joy” (Joy and Spiritual Survival, October 2016 General Conference).
As the Malad Idaho
St. Paul Mission
As we come upon another Easter Season we reflect upon the great sacrifice that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ made for us all. Our very hope for eternal life was given for mankind at such a high cost. The death of our beloved Savior. In fulfilling the will of his Father he took upon himself the sin of the world. Our hope is that the world recognizes this gift and takes advantage of the gift of eternal life. By simply
loving our brothers and sisters as Jesus loves us. By praying more, fasting, and sacrificing for the good of each other. By looking inward and making the choice to serve others rather than asking to be served. This world of ours is in need of Holy Moments. You may ask what a Holy Moment is? It is simply giving a smile to someone in need. It is helping the person who truly needs help but asks for nothing. It could be
making a call to someone that just needs a shoulder to lean on. Yes Easter is here again, and we should all take time to have just one Holy Moment this Easter in thanksgiving to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be with each and everyone of you.
The Presbyterian Church
By Marlys Evans (April 2023)Easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the most important Christian festival, and the one celebrated with the greatest joy. Without Easter there would be no Christianity. Without Jesus’ suffering, His execution and subsequent resurrection there would be no Christianity, for however terrible the suffering was, it was part of God’s plan for the salvation of mankind.
Jesus, Emmanuel, came down from heaven above and pulled us to safety. He did this by taking the punishment for all our wrongdoing as He
died on the cross (1 Peter 2:24) to pay what we owed.
When Jesus died, He shared in what all of us must experience, but far beyond that, He did what none of us can do. He paid the price for our sins that we may be forgiven and on the third day was resurrected so we might have eternal life through faith in Him (John 3:16).
“It is finished”, was our Lord’s final words from the cross as He gave up his spirit (John 19:30). These words were not a cry of painful defeat but a shout of triumph because he had accomplished all that the Father had sent Him to do. Now, through
Him, we can escape the power of sin; we can live and be free!
“He is not here; for He has risen, as He said,” the angel told the women at the empty tomb (Matthew 28:6). When Jesus met them he said, “Rejoice!” (Matthew 28:9). Now all of us, His faithful followers have reason for rejoicing!
Today, consider the connection between Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice and his love for us; He died and rose again so we can have assurance that one day we’ll be with Him in a place of no more death or tears (Revelation 21:4).
If Jesus had not come back to life, our faith as Christians would be pointless. However, the Bible, tells us that Jesus “was raised to life for our justification” (Romans 4:25).
Easter is a day to celebrate with great joy; we can be right with God, because Jesus is alive! He is risen! He has risen indeed! Thanks be to God!
Stake Presidency, we unitedly testify that Jesus Christ lives and is the answer to all earthly adversity, illness, sorrow, pain, and death. Likewise, we testify that He is the source of all truth, everlasting joy, and happiness. Because of His atoning sacrifice and resurrection, Jesus Christ has overcome the world, including both spiritual and physical death. Jesus said to his disciples, “these things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). At this sacred Easter Season, we testify with
the Angels at the empty tomb “Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen” (Luke 24: 5-6).
Jesus Christ has risen from the dead with healing in his wings. He lives and because He does, we too will rise from the grave.
“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Corinthians 15:55). Jesus Christ is the light of the world. May His light shine brightly in your lives as you seek Him, hear Him, follow Him, and keep His commandments.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will celebrate Easter on April 9, 2023, with our

worship services shortened to a one-hour Sacrament Service. This service will feature Christ-centered messages and sacred music. As we commemorate the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, we encourage all to share their love for the Savior and His gospel with family and friends. We invite all to come and join us in celebrating Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday.
The Malad Stake Presidency President David Jensen President Jason Sperry President Brandon Ward
Victory Baptist Church
By Pastor Jack HarwellWe all know or should know the story of Jesus the Christ that He was crucified on a cross over 2000 years ago and that He rose from the grave three day's latter. You may not know how important that resurrection was? With out the resurrection we would have no hope off eternity and a life after death. The resurrection means we can have a life in heaven with Christ! Some people don't believe that this really happened and if it did they don't understand why. Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins, and to be the Atonement for us to God the Father! The promise of God in (John 3;16) that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believed in Him ( Jesus ) should not perish but have everlasting life (in heaven)!
Paul writing to the church in Corinth the Corinthians in chapter15 tells us how important the resurrection was for us in our belief of who Jesus is. Chapter 15 verse 1 reads I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you which also
you have received, and wherein you stand; vs2 By which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain ( for no reason).. Verse 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;. Verse 4 And He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Verse 5 And that He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: Verse 6 After that, He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, ( the time Paul wrote this letter) but some are fallen asleep(dead).
Paul goes on to say He was seen of James and then of all the apostles. Paul also tells us that he saw Jesus, and he as one born out of due time(the road to Damascus). Why does Paul tell us this, because it is important that he (Paul) was and is a wittiness of who Christ is. Paul is telling us that he saw the resurrected Jesus in person. Paul was chosen by Jesus to take the Gospel to the Gentiles. Paul meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus and what Jesus told him made Paul see that He (Jesus) was the true Christ. Paul knows that if there is no life after death then there is no truth in the scriptures and no hope for any of us! In 1st Corinthians chapter 15 verse 10 Paul tells us that but by the grace of God I am what I am, by God's grace we are saved and no other way, so what Jesus did was God's grace for us to the point that we may be the children of God. He continues to say that the grace of God that was bestowed upon
him was not in vain; but that he (Paul) labored more abundantly than they all; and he tells us that it was not him but the grace of God min him. Then in verse 11 he tells us whether it was I or the other(apostles) , so we preached, and so you believed. And he (Paul) tells us that if Christ be preached that He (Jesus) rose from the dead, why do you not believe in the resurrection of the dead, But Christ is risen; And he tells us that the preaching would be worthless if it was not true. The word we live in to day very well may be the last days, and if the Word of God is not true than nothing can be! You can choose to believe or not it is up to you and you will never see unless the Word draws you to Jesus, There is no other name given by where men can be saved! And if Jesus is not risen then there is no hope for mankind! The only thing we have to know that Jesus has risen from the dead is God's word and you have to hear that word or you will perish! You can see the world w live the lies and deception that is throne at us and the only hope we have is Jesus and He is true as His word is true.
I pray that you seek God's face and here His word that God would open doors for you to see what He has done for you and except it as the Redemption of your soul! Why would God do what He has done for His creation and it not be true? Why did Jesus give His life on the cross if it was not to help us? Ask Jesus to come into your heart and see what happens? See for yourself what it means!
4-H Spring Break a Big Success

Following the presentation, Sawyer Fonnesbeck added his own experience to the discussion, and students were able to examine large presentation material kits with information pertaining to their individual livestock animals.

Most of those present who answered the question “Why do you want to do a Livestock Demonstration?” answered with a version of the idea that they enjoyed talking and sharing their interests with others, with Ford and Fonnesbeck acknowledged were the perfect motivations.

Later in the week, Justin Hatch and others brought in a number of roping dummies, in order to give students practice with the principles of roping. Some had quite a bit of experience and took to it like old hands, while some of those newest to the sport had a rocky start.


By the end of the afternoon, though, everyone was roping like a pro.
Matt Fisher presented a STEM activity which involved the construction of a model Mars Rover. After the students worked to build as assemble their own unique rovers, they worked at designing a course to run them through in order to put into practice the engineering problem-solving concepts that the activity focused on. “It’s not just model building,” Fisher said. “That’s not enough. We need them to think about how these kinds of devices can be used to do a variety of tasks.”
A temporary tent with Rangeland sticker books was also on site, where Azul Chavez helped students with a variety of tasks to collect a full book of stickers on Rangelands.

For the final event, Scott Nash brought in an ultrasound device, which he demonstrated live with a couple of volunteer sheep. The sheep remained generally good-natured as



Nash explained how the ultrasound device worked, what kinds of information it could provide, and the benefit to using ultrasound information as a way to determine market strategies for livestock. “In addition to using this for pregnancy testing, disease diagnostics, this is also used for finding out carcass traits—back fat depths, loin size, marbling—you name it.”
Nash discussed the general ranges for fat in different parts of different animals, and used the machine in retail to evaluate the sheep in question.
As with last year, this year’s 4-H Spring Break was an excellent chance for students to learn more about some of the issues relevant to their 4-H learning, explore new topics they might wish to pursue, and


spend some time with their friends and peers in the process. “It’s been great!” Kelly Sorensen of the Extension Office said. “A wonderful week. And we definitely plan for an even bigger one next year.”

Grandparents Only
Not recommended for parents or kids
By Gramma DotLet’s talk pickleball.
Years ago, I decided to get Brent a pickleball set for Christmas.
We called friend Dave Baker and asked if we could tape off a court at the old stake building. He said, “Sure, as long as it isn’t permanent.”
So, Brent and I started playing pickleball. Brent has a back that wouldn’t cooperate, so Rebecca started coming in his place. We watched YouTube to learn the game and the Howes joined us, then more friends and family. Soon enough, we had a consistent crowd with three nets and often people waiting in line.
One day Gramma Red was walking at the Old Stake Building when a facilities manager came to check out the place. He noticed the tape on the floor and asked her if they played pickleball in the gym. She answered, “Yes.” He told her the stake president could recommend to the facilities department that pickleball lines be painted. So, we let President Wray know, he made the recommendation, and we now have “permanent” lines on the floors of all the buildings in the stake. I think Dave probably likes the per-
manent straight lines better than our old squiggly taped lines.
When spring arrived, we wanted to go outside but there were no pickleball courts in Malad.
So, we checked with the school district, swept off the tennis courts, painted lines, and Jacaways built iron nets.
Now, we had four outdoor courts which have served our community well. They were sort of “red-neck”, which was OK with us. Several in the community have played on those courts, enjoying hours of fun and exercise.
With the explosion in popularity of the game and with the retirement of the old tennis courts, it is time to build real courts at the City Park. With an eye to the future, the City has appropriated funds to start the project and they formed a Pickleball Committee to help get an 8-court complex built. First steps involved having a professional court-building company give us a bid. $50,000 per court! Yikes, that wasn’t going to work, so the Committee started talking to people in the community to see what we could do on our own. Several have stepped up to help with ground prep, gravel, rebar and project design.
Cement is going to be the major expenditure, but added to that is fencing, lighting, nets, striping and painting the courts.
This is a community project, for everyone in the community. We have players from elementary age to over 80. The Pickleball Committee will sponsor free clinics after the courts are built. Right now, we are asking everyone in the community to donate to help us make this project a reality. Grandparents, what a great gift for your kids and grandkids! Parents and grandkids, what a great gift to help keep your grandparents active. Let’s do it! Stop by the City Office and leave a donation which is tax deductible. A sign with names of those donating over $100 will be placed at the courts. There will be eight courts, and each will need a name. The top eight donors will have the option of naming a court!
Our community knows how to come together for the common good. It’s what makes the Good Life and we are living it right here! Hope to see you all at the groundbreaking… as soon as the snow melts!

Recently, both Malad City and Oneida County declared April to be “Kindness Month.”
The proclamation is designed to give everyone in the area a chance to reflect on the importance of extending kindness to those around them, and seeking ways to improve the level of goodwill between and among all of us who share this space together. Specifically, the theme of the first week of Kindness month is the idea, “Kindness is Contagious—Find a Way to Spread kindness throughout our city and county.” Next week’s
Sawyer Fonnebeck, Extension Office Educator: “I always liked the quote from Aesop—no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”

theme is “Include Others—Speak to someone you don’t know, make a new friend, include others in your activities.”
Sat. May 6, 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Questions?
Toni Werk, Interfaith Council: “Kindness is the light in everyone’s heart that comes from God. Share it everywhere always!"

Six Tips For Filing Your 2023 Taxes
From the Idaho State Tax Commission
BOISE, Idaho — April 4, 2023 — As the April 18 deadline for filing income tax returns approaches, the Idaho State Tax Commission is offering six tips to make the process smoother:
1. E-file your return
Filing your return electronically has many benefits that include:
• The software helps with the math.
• You get a confirmation email.
• Your electronic filing provider keeps a record of your tax return.

• You get a faster refund than if you file by paper. Refunds generally arrive in about seven to eight weeks when you e-file versus 10 to 11 weeks when you file a paper return. Using direct deposit gets the refund to you even faster.
2. See if you qualify to e-file your return for free
The Tax Commission has worked with software providers and the IRS to offer many peo -
ple free online preparation and filing of state and federal returns. You probably qualify if you have an adjusted gross income of $73,000 or less.
To find the free e-filing offers, visit tax. idaho.gov (https://tax. idaho.gov/) . Click on Free Income Tax E-file (see if you qualify) (https://tax.idaho. gov/online-services/efile/e-file-individualincome-taxes-free/) on the home page.

3. Take advantage of free tax help
You might be able to get free help preparing your income tax return at volunteer tax preparation sites throughout Idaho. To find a site near you, visit IRS. gov (https://www.irs. gov/) and go to the Free Tax Return Preparation (https://www. irs.gov/individuals/ free-tax-return-preparation-for-you-by-volunteers) page. You also can visit the Tax Commission website at tax. idaho.gov (https://tax. idaho.gov/) . Click on the Free Income Tax Help (https://www.irs. gov/individuals/free-
tax-return-preparationfor-you-by-volunteers) link on the home page. The free help is intended for senior citizens and people with low to moderate incomes who have simple federal and Idaho tax returns. All sites offer electronic filing for faster refunds. Some offer help in Spanish or use virtual interpreter services.
4. Make sure your return is complete Incorrect or missing information will delay a refund.
• Double-check your figures to make sure you have no typos. Also, confirm your Social Security numbers.
• Make sure you list your current mailing address.
• If you e-file, make sure you enter your employer’s correct Employer Identification Number (EIN) and state ID number from your W-2s.
• If you file by paper:
• Include all your W-2s and a complete copy of your federal return.
• Make sure both you and your spouse sign if you’re filing a joint return.
5. Pay electronically if you owe taxes
Schedule electronic payments on dates you choose by using the free Quick Pay (https:// idahotap.gentax.com/ tap?Link=QuickPay) service at tax.idaho. gov/quickpay (https:// idahotap.gentax.com/ tap?Link=QuickPay) or through e-file providers that offer free direct debit.
6. Respond to any Tax Commission letters asking for more information
All income tax returns go through fraud detection reviews and accuracy checks before Idaho issues any refunds. If you receive a letter from the Tax Commission, take the requested action right away. Processing your refund will continue once you provide the needed information.

Malad City Newsletter
April 2023
April has been proclaimed Kindness Month by the City of Malad City and the Oneida County Commissioners in a Joint Proclamation as published in The Idaho Enterprise in their March 30, 2023, issue!
Malad Elementary School is promoting Kindness Month for the Month of April, and Malad City and Oneida County believes it is worthy of being a community effort. It is fitting because April is recognized as National Child Abuse Protection Month. It is also, among others: Celebrate Diversity Month, National Autism Awareness Month, National Couple Appreciation Month and Second Chance Month. All of these can be related to kindness, to recognize and accept diversity.
We are challenging all citizens to practice random acts of kindness in the spirit of compassion, kindness, and goodwill toward all in our community by following the guideline set up by the Elementary School:
April 1 through 8 – (K) Kindness is Contagious – Find a way to spread kindness throughout our city and county;
April 9 through 15 – (I) Include Others – Speak to someone you don’t know, make a new friend, include others in your activities;

Beef Weigh in
The snow and ice were chipped away for the Oneida County 4H and FFA youth to weigh in their market steers on Saturday, March 18 as they began their new beef projects this year. Saturday marked 150 days until the 2023 Oneida County Fair where these youth will showcase their hard work of raising, training, and fitting their animals. Over the next several months, the youth are tasked with feeding and caring for their animals, preparing them for show by fitting, grooming, and teaching them to lead as well as learning about the beef industry and leadership.
New for all market species this year will be an ultrasound contest to be conducted during the Oneida County Fair this year. In their market and fitting classes, the youth are judged on the outer appearance of their animals. The ultrasound contest will allow the animals to be judged on what is on the inside, the estimated meat quality and quantity. Traditionally, data collected through an ultrasound can measure and esti-
mate carcass yield, ribeye area, back fat, marbling, and grade.
Extension office educators and leaders are excited to add the contest to the fair this year. Beefin’ It Up club leaders shared, “This is a great chance for our kids to see that it's not just what’s on the outside that counts. We want them to learn to present their steers well at fair, but we also want them to think about the quality of meat they are raising as well. The ultrasound contest will help them have a fuller picture of what they have accomplished with their animals.”
Weighing in steers for fair this year are Paislee
Davis, Mason Eliason, Paige Eliason, Maudee Leavitt, Rawzen Munns, Riggin Munns, Carter Smith, Wheeler Smith, Katie Allen, Trevor Allen, Joseph Daniels, Tatum Hess, Alexis Shaw, and Addison Waldron.

For those interested in signing up for 4H, the registration deadlines are soon approaching. For information on how to get involved in 4H in any aspect, please call the Extension Office.

Easter may have a different look this year as tiny tots hunt for eggs in the snow, all clad in their winter gear instead of bright spring dresses and sun hats. But even if spring isn’t blossoming in the background, the traditions and customs of Easter are still in full bloom. Here’s a little peek of where the season's celebrations hatched from and a basket-full of trivia surround the holiday.
Lavish Easter celebrations are held across the country each year with egg-stra special parades, egg rolls, bunny photo opps and egg hunts. The grandest and most popular parade is held in New York City traveling the historic route north on Fifth Avenue from 49th Street up to 57th Street.
While there have been many an Easter egg hunt, nothing has topped or hopped beyond the festive hunt of Florida's Cypress Gardens Adventure Park. In 2007, Florida hosted the world’s largest egg hunt that has ever been held with a record-breaking 501,000 hidden eggs searched for by 9,753
children. The most historic egg rolling celebration is held each year at the White House, beginning in 1878 by President Rutherford B. Hayes after the tradition of holding the event at Capitol Hill was cracked. President Richard Nixon and his wife were the first to invite the Easter Bunny to hop on over to make an appearance for the occasion.
While the holiday is full of egg-straordinary fun, for most, the real meaning of the season is celebrating the Holy Week. From Palm Sunday when Jesus Christ made his triumphant entry into Jerusalem where he came to participate in the Jewish Passover to Resurrection Sunday, the week is full of meaningful celebration.
Holy Thursday honors the Last Supper where Jesus introduced the sacrament to his apostles. Good Friday commemorates the death of Jesus when he was lifted on the cross. Easter Sunday or Resurrection Day honors the day that the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea where Jesus was buried was found

The recognition of Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection isn’t the only sweet of the season. From bags to baskets of sugary treats, every-bunny loves a little Easter candy. In fact, 90 million chocolate bunnies are produced for the season every year. And here’s a strange fact, nearly 80% of consumers eat their chocolate bunnies beginning with ears!

The Easter season is full of symbols from its historic beginnings. The pagan feast celebrated over the vernal equinox honors Eostre, the goddess of spring and renewal. Passed on from the pagan traditions and Christian celebrations, eggs and rabbits became a symbol of the holiday as they represented new beginnings, a season of rebirth and new life. From the Old Testament customs of sacrifice, a lamb is also a common symbol of Easter. The white lily, another symbol of the season, also ties back to Biblical traditions as it represents purity, rebirth, repentance, and hope found through the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Easter Bunny first hopped on the scene in the United States after German immigrants brought with them the tradition of the egg-laying "Osterhase" or Easter Hare. Over time, the sentiment remained but the name changed to
Easter Bunny that would arrive on Easter Sunday to deliver spring treats and sweets. In Switzerland, egg hunters await for the Easter Cuckoo to leave their spring surprises while little peeps in Australia watch for the Bilby to stop by.
As Easter approaches, little ones are dying for the chance to color their eggs, a tradition passed on for centuries.

It is said that the custom began when Mary Magdalene taught Emperor Tiberius of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, demonstrating with a simple egg that miraculously turned red, symbolizing the blood of Christ. Another tale of the Easter egg beginnings is when the Virgin Mary, begging for mercy on behalf of Jesus, offered eggs to the soldiers guarding Christ on the cross, and while doing so, her tears, splashing on the eggs, colored the eggs with dots where her tears had landed. Regardless of the inspiration, the people of Ukraine are credited with the practice of dyeing eggs for Easter as we do today, a tradition called Pysanka.
SCHOOL MENU
A few final less known Easter trivia facts: in Medieval times, Christians would begin wearing new clothes on Easter as a part of their celebration the resurrection of Jesus Christ, reminding them of rebirth and new beginnings. Nowadays, wearing new clothes on Easter Sunday is said to bring good luck for the rest of the year. Easter, a holiday dependent on the lunar cycle, will always be celebrated between March 22 and April 25. England claims the beginning of several Easter activities such as its own egg-citing jig that features dancing between Easter eggs called “hop-egging” as well as the tasty “hot cross buns” that were once traditionally only to be served on Good Friday.

The 193rd Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was held April 1 and 2 in Salt Lake City, Utah and broadcast for viewers and listeners around the world. The conference consisted of five sessions over the two day period of words of inspiration, love, motivation and spiritual direction to all that would heed its council. Speakers included members of the First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve, members of the Seventy, the Young Woman General President, and many more leaders from around the world.
The Saturday morning session featured talks by three members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the Young Women General President and two General Authority Seventies. Elder Quentin L. Cook shared thoughts and testimony of gathering Israel while Elder Gerrit W. Gong spoke of the ministersing efforts he has seen around the world and the blessings from such efforts. Elder Gary E. Stevenson discussed the Easter story, not found in the New Testament, but as it is found in The Book of Mormon. He said, “The Book of Mormon shares the greatest Easter story ever told. Let it not be the greatest Easter story never told.” Young Women
General President Bonnie H. Cordon, who would later be released in the following session, spoke about looking for Christ, promising that “I promise He is there.”
Saturday afternoon brought several changes to the General Authority Seventies, Young Women General Presidency and Young Men General Presidency. Elder Dale G. Renlund spoke of the covenant path and the power that comes by staying on that path as he said, “Going against the flow may be difficult. But when we yield to the enticings of the Holy Spirit and put off the selfish tendencies of the natural man or woman, we can receive the Savior’s transforming power in our lives, the power to do difficult things.”
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf addressed the parents of the youth, saying that while Jesus Christ is the “Strength of youth,” He is also the strength of parents. He said, “My message to all parents is this: The Lord loves you. He is with you. He stands beside you. He is your strength in guiding your children to make righteous choices.” Also speaking in the session were General Authority Seventies, Elder Peter F. Meurs, Elder Randall K. Bennett, Elder Craig C. Christensen, Elder Evan A. Schmutz
and Elder Benjamín De Hoyos.
Another general session was held Saturday evening, a session that has often addressed the Priesthood and the women of the church. Speakers all touched on the power of Jesus Christ and through Him we can be wholly forgiven, we can help administer to the one, have a deeper relationship through daily gospel study, and withstand any trial we face in this life.
Day two of General Conference, held on Palm Sunday, featured talks from Apostles of the Quorum of the Twelve, the Relief Society General President, General Authority Seventies and the Prophet, President Russle M. Nelson. Elder Neil L. Anderson taught from the story of Alma the Younger, sharing, “As you attentively catch hold of this thought of Jesus Christ, trust in Him and keep His commandments, I promise you not only heavenly guidance, but heavenly power.”
Several speakers addressed finding peace in this life through Jesus Christ. President Camille N. Johnson said that through His power we can find relief from our burdens, while Elder Ulisses S. Soares spoke of how we can also become instruments of peace.
President Nelson
was the concluding speaker of the session, speaking of how each of us can be peacemakers. He said, “The Savior’s message is clear: His true disciples build, lift, encourage, persuade and inspire — no matter how difficult the situation,” President Nelson said. “True disciples of Jesus Christ are peacemakers.”
Continuing on he talked of how everyone has a choice, to either contribute to contention or to bring reconciliation.
The final session of the conference was held Saturday afternoon opening with remarks from Elder Dallin H. Oaks. He began his talk by saying, “We believe in Christ. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we worship Him and follow His teachings in the scriptures.” He then went on to share scriptures spoken by Jesus, words that we all should study to learn directly from Him. Other speakers also addressed what members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe as Christians and how to “walk in him.” Elder Ronald A. Rasband shared of an enlightening experience he had with the people of Ghana, learning just the day before that His Majesty, King Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II was in Salt Lake and would be attending the conference.
The conference concluded with final words by President Nelson, sharing that “Because of Jesus Christ, we can repent and be forgiven of our sins. Because of Him, each of us will be resurrected.” He also announced 15 new temples, to be built in Retalhuleu, Guatemala; Iquitos, Peru; Teresina, Brazil; Natal, Brazil; Tuguegarao
City, Philippines; Iloilo, Philippines; Jakarta, Indonesia; Hamburg, Germany; Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada; San Jose, California; Bakersfield, California; Springfield, Missouri; Winchester, Virginia; Charlotte, North Carolina; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Long Winter Effects on Ag
By Allison EliasonOneida County farmers and ranchers are seeing a glimmer of hope for the upcoming year as the snow is beginning to melt and the long lasting winter is coming to a close. While they don’t complain of the moisture the winter storms have brought over the last several months, there are challenges and concerns that they are now battling as a result of the lengthy winter conditions.
With several feet of snow standing on the open farm fields, one might think that ground is frozen beneath all that cold snow. The truth is just the opposite. What keeps the ground cold and frozen is actually the cold air bringing the topsoil and ground temps down. The snow actually provides a warm blanket to cover and insulate the ground, preventing the cold air from cooling and freezing the ground.
There are a variety of diseases called “snow mold” that come from fungi that thrive in cold, wet conditions. Several feet of wet snow for several months will provide the perfect environment for these diseases to cause real havoc on farm crops. In a farming fact sheet provided by USU’s Extension Office it says, “The snow cover provides the fungus with a dark, humid environment suitable for their growth. When plants are covered with a layer of snow, their photosynthetic
capabilities are impaired and the plants will slowly lose carbohydrates and protein reserves which predispose them to infection by snow mold fungi.”

Cereal grains such as wheat, rye and barley are especially susceptible to snow mold, a crop that many of Oneida County farmers raise on their dry farms. Crops that were planted early in the fall will have a better chance of surviving and recovering from the snow mold. Smaller, less mature plants are more likely to rot due to the mold. There are no treatments for snow mold, but the fungi will begin to die out as temperatures climb beyond 45 degrees. On average, a clear picture of the damage from snow mold can be seen two to three weeks after the snow has melted.
This timeline, however, can cause additional stress and pressure on the upcoming year's crop. Waiting to see how significant the damage is after a prolonged winter only makes the growing season even shorter. If a farm must replant, this too adds to concern of whether the crop will have the time it needs to grow and mature.
In a year with little to no snow fall, the extremely cold temperatures may bring on a different but just as devastating condition for farmers. Winter kill, a condition brought on when fall planted crops haven’t developed winter hardiness or are

exposed to extremely cold temperatures, can easily destroy entire crops. When the ground isn’t insulated by the snow, the young plants are left exposed to the freezing conditions and without strong enough roots, might not withstand the cold.
If crops aren’t killed outright from the cold, the damage to their vascular structure from the cold will lead to crop failure weeks later. The crop will turn green and appear to be fine, but then will begin to slowly die.
Farmers raising crops that aren’t planted in the fall are also sweating the planting season this year. Instead of worrying whether their crops survived the long winter, they are concerned that
late spring warm up will be too late for many of their crops. Onion farmers south in Tremonton and the like are unsure if they will have a long enough growing season for their crops. What is even more distressing is that many of these operations already have contracts in place and can’t simply choose another crop for the season.
The lengthy winter is causing trouble for cattle ranchers in the area as well. The usual spring turnout dates are coming quickly and currently there is little feed for the cattle to turn out on. Snow remaining on the ground weeks longer than normal has pushed back the growth for the range grasses. With little feed on the ground, de-
pleting hay stores after the long winter and hay prices remaining high, ranchers are unsure what to do for their herds this season.
Problem solving isn’t a new thing for farmers and ranchers, but Mother Nature has provided a tricky situation this season. It’s a gamble every year and our farmers and ranchers are about to put their chips on the table. If there are a few things we know it’s this: first moisture is key and with the moisture we have this year, something will grow. Second, that farmers and ranchers are nothing if not dedicated and resilient.
I’m putting my bets on these producers that they will find a way to win the harvest in the end.

Exit 13 brings antiques back to town
A wide variety of vendors once again made their way to the Event Center for a weekend of antiques and collectibles.

The Malad Antiques and Collectibles Show brings in both vendors and buyers from all around the region, and has been growing in popularity with each event. After some concern about the weather and the potential for a very muddy weekend, the event ending up going off smoothly. The county was about to add gravel and grade the parking lot before the event officially started, and those in attendance were able to focus on the merchandise inside, rather than parking conditions.
Despite a General Con-
ference weekend, the vendors on hand reported good traffic and business over the two days of the show. Many of the vendors were returning from their previous visits to the Malad Antiques Show, coming from northern Utah, California, and even farther locations.


Bob and Jackie McConaughey from Roy, Utah, were in town for their first event. “This is our first time, and it’s been a good one,” Jackie said. Keely Christiansen, also from Utah, was on her second trip to the venue. “It was great the last time, and it’s been good this year too. Even today [Sunday] has been pretty decent.”
Kim Hopfenbeck, of Ogden, commented that the
best part so far had been the people. “There are just really nice people up here,” she said.
The Antique and Collectible Show had a wide range of historical antiques, crafted items, toys, movie posters, comics, magazine, trading cards, knives, clothing items, furniture, and all kinds of surprises. Exit 13, run by Bryon and Terri Lyons, also staffed a food concession, and were on hand for questions and help with the vendors. The event is a great showcase for the kind of businesses that trade in the rich history and craftwork of the American West, especially in this area.
