Easter Egg Hunt

Governor signs bill against vaccine requirements

After the signing of Senate Bill 1130, most employers can no longer require proof of COVID-19 vaccination as a requirement for employment in Idaho. The bill prohibits private and public employers from requiring mandatory vaccination, though it does not apply to health care workers and a few other sectors of the workforce. Little, who had vetoed a similar bill last year, cited the decrease in COVID cases and the increased management capacity for the virus as his reasons.

Governor signs bill reducing oversight of Bear World

tradition continues despite the snow!

Malad EMTs decided to ignore the snowcovered park and move forward with the tradition of an Easter egg hunt on the Saturday before Easter. The perimeter of the park was clear of snow, and organizers took advantage of those spots. They were filled with Easter eggs, Easter candy, and toys. It really wasn’t much of a “hunt”. There was something in almost every bare spot of ground, and kids swarmed the fields and had them all cleaned up in less than five minutes.

There were lots of smiles and happy kids.

The Easter Bunny was even flown in by Portneuf Medical Rescue. The helicopter landed on the west side of the park, and the Bunny had to trudge through deep snow to get to the kids.

Many thanks to the EMTs for organizing the event, and for everyone that donated eggs and toys. There were lots of smiles as adults and children enjoyed a beautiful, spring day!

Evening of the Arts takes center stage

The 10th annual Evening of the Arts, sponsored by the Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital Foundation, was held on Thursday, April 6, in the Malad Middle School.

The large crowd enjoyed seeing the oil paintings of Joan Hawkins since few people knew that she had this talent. Brian Llewellyn’s bonsai plants were interesting to attendees as most Maladites had never seen such tiny, intricately trimmed plants. The photographs of Ron Spomer demonstrated why he has won so many awards for his outdoor and wildlife photography. Lad Neilson’s large decorative vases were enhanced by silk flowers provided by Daisy Hollow. Lad’s giant metal sculpture of the state of Idaho captured the attention of the attendees. Pat Werk’s leather belts, chaps and ranch chinks showed why he is selected to create leather work for a lot of cowboys and cowgirls.

Idaho Governor signed Senate Bill 1084, which would reduce the Fish and Game oversight of animal parks with a Class C Exhibitors License, and the regulation of such parks will now fall to the Department of Agriculture. Proponents of the bill say that the change will eliminate “unnecessary double regulation” by state and federal authorities. Opponents claims that the change may bring unintended consequences that will negatively affect conditions for animals at such parks. Fish and Game took a neutral position on the change, after having been assured that they would still be able to inventory animals at the facility.

Record snowfalls in UT and CA expected to alleviate drought

The states of Utah and California have both recorded snowfall and precipitation levels breaking totals dating back over 60 years in 2023. Utah’s previous record of 28.8 inches in 1953 is expected to be broken by the end of the week. California’s record rains and snowfall this year have also created enough moisture to “completely alleviate drought conditions” according to the National Weather Service. Idaho has also received enough winter weather to move most counties, including Oneida, out of the severe drought categories.

Spring is finally in the forecast

While it’s never safe to predict the weather in Idaho, at least according to the latest projections from the National Weather Service there’s a good chance that spring has finally sprung. Over the next two weeks, the average daily temperatures are expected to be in the 40s and 50s, with a few peaks in the 60s. It’s worth noting that snow and rain are anticipated today, but also that overnight lows should begin to stay above freezing starting next week. A very quick thaw will undoubtedly lead to flooding headaches and a turbulent early growing season, though the sight of the sun is some consolation.

Idaho increases churchgoers

The 4th graders’ chalk art of mountains backed by the Northern Lights showed how the students have learned about science and art. The

5th graders’ bunny silhouettes highlighted with colored chalk were a perfect backdrop for the Easter Bunny, who made an appearance

at the event and handed out bags of candy.

Unlike most states across the country, Idaho managed to increase its percentage of those who claim to be religious and churchgoers in recent years. Eastern Idaho specifically has been noted as one of the regions of the country with an increase in the percentage of religious resident, bucking the national trend. The statewide percentage has increased by 4.2% since the year 2000, while it has declined by a similar amount across the country in that timeframe.

Junior Prom brings New York to town!

Malad High School became New York City for one night as the Junior Prom was held on Saturday, April 8, with “New York” as the theme. Parents and friends

watched as juniors and seniors promenaded across the Brooklyn Bridge past the silhouetted New York skyline and Statue of Liberty. Parents joined their students

for the first dance after the promenade, and then the students took over the dance floor.

Malad City Mayors’ Youth Council sponsors Tandem Tour

On Wednesday night, April 5, The League of Idaho Cities and Audrey Draper, MT-BC, SCMT, brought to Malad High School The Tandem Tour, a coping skills program for youth. The program was sponsored for the school by the Mayor’s Youth Council.

The League of Idaho Cities is an arm of the Association of Idaho Cities (AIC). They work through the AIC to bring programs to Idaho cities, such as Mayors’ Youth Advisory Council, The Tandem Tour and Readers Becoming Leaders. They work with the youth of the State of Idaho to help educate them through these special programs.

Malad City is taking advantage of these three programs. In the past year, a Mayors’ Youth Council was organized, which currently has eight members. They meet twice a month with the mayor, attend at least one city council meeting a year, and commit to service hours for the city. Readers Becoming Leaders has been a hit

with Malad Elementary third graders the past two years, and with Stone Elementary second and third graders last year, where students learn all about cities and the services they provide.

The Tandem Tour is new to Malad this year. The event was started by the League of Idaho Cities after COVID-19, when it became apparent that teens and adults were suffering from depression and anxiety, with some turning to drugs for help. The name and logo comes from a tandem bicycle. Tandem means “together”, and that is the message they are trying to teach – to not suffer alone but to turn to others for help and support.

Audrey Draper, a board-certified music therapist, joined with Dawn Hall and Sheila Christensen of the League of Idaho Cities to bring The Tandem Tour to Malad. Draper uses music therapy to help teach about coping skills. In one exercise, Heather Howe kindly volunteered to play drums. But there were six drums,

some very large, that Heather couldn’t hold and pound out a rhythm alone. However, when six other volunteers came forward, each taking a drum, they were able to pound out a somewhat rhythmic tune! Another exercise used rhythm sticks where attendees followed the instructions of Draper, and they learned skills on how to cope when there is a lot of background commotion and how to work with others.

Draper also shared her personal experience of suffering from anxiety and panic attacks and how she resolved those issues through therapy. She provided tips on how to talk to others and share fears, how to help others by being a good listener and a good friend, and how to use outside activities that you enjoy to help you cope during hard times. One of the goals of the presentation is to teach students it's okay to open up about mental health and seek help from those you love and trust.

A toolkit was provided to each attendee, including

rhythm sticks, to use with the information provided.

When setting up the event three months ago, the date seemed to be a good one; however, many students were away because of commitments to FCCLA, FFA and the High School band. Still, Mayor Joan Hawkins felt that the evening was worthwhile and that those attending learned from it. She hopes to bring the Tandem Tour back to Malad next spring.

Evening of the Arts takes center stage

Continued from page 1

A variety of Middle and High School works of art were on display, showing that Malad has many upand-coming artists. The students of Dianne Adams brought their works to show their skills in watercolor and other art media.

The live auction was conducted by Steve Daniels, and the bidding was very competitive. Joan Hawkins and John Williams won the bonsai trees donated by Brian Llewellyn. Dotty Evanson won the “Welcome to the Porch” wooden sign donated by Burbidge Custom Timbers. John Williams won the original watercolor donated by Dianne Adams, the one-ofa-kind metal bell donated by Doug Adams, the wooden bench donated by Kacey Evans and the bird photograph donated by Ron Spomer. Karrie Jo Miller won the metal vase donated by Lad Neilson. The two 3-night stays at a cabin in Island Park, donated by Jim Everson, were won by Kooper and Lacey Daniels and Kathy Hubbard.

Throughout the night, the silent auction led attendees to watch their bids on the items they hoped to win, leading to some bidding wars on everything from food baskets to restaurant gift cards, event tickets to car care products, toys to clothing and furniture to afghans. Two quilts were raffled off during the evening. Rich Moore won the orange and black Minky blanket made by Sue Evans with fabric donated by Allen Drug. Jean Thomas won the honeybee quilt made by Carrie Hess. All proceeds from the auctions and raffle will go toward the continual upgrading and remodeling of patient rooms at the local Hospital.

Popcorn of several flavors was prepared and packed into grab-andgo bags by the Malad High School culinary

arts students. Hospital Foundation members and Hospital employees appreciated the help of the Malad Middle School

physical education students in setting up tables and chairs for the event.

cil will be reorganizing during the month of April. It is a worthwhile organization where students learn how city government works and have the opportunity of providing service for the community. For any high school student interested, who will be a freshman through senior next school year, please contact Mayor Joan Hawkins or any current member of the Mayor’s Youth Council.

“Peeps Show” takes the stage again

Peeps Race Car Track – “Most Creative” – created by Malad Clinic

One of the highly anticipated events that heralds spring for the residents of long-term care at the Nell J. Redfield Hospital is the annual “Peep Show.” The Hospital departments compete to see who can create the best displays using the colorful marshmallow Peep chicks and bunnies so popular at Easter.

This year’s competition featured ten displays, including a giant Peeps Mario inspired by the popular video game, a Peeps beauty school, Peeps playing Bingo, a scene from “Charley and the Chocolate Factory” with Peeps as the characters, a Wheel of Peeps with a wheel that really spun, a Peeps race car track, a boxing ring for Peeps and princesses, giant flowers made of Peeps, a Peeps garden, and a Peeps auction house.

The residents voted for

their favorite candy displays. The giant Peeps Mario created by the Hospital Lab received the award for “The Most Peeps Used.” Named “The Funniest” was the Wheel of Peeps created by the Long-Term Care Administrators. The Peeps race car track created by the Malad Clinic was named “Most Creative.” The Peeps beauty school, created by HR Director Paula Davis, received the “Residents’ Choice Award.” The scene from “Charley and the Chocolate Factory” won “Best in Show” and was created by LongTerm Care Activities.

Displayed all day on Tuesday, April 4, in the day room of the LongTerm Care wing of Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital, the Peeps displays were also exhibited at the Evening of the Arts on Thursday at Malad High School.

A Cowboy Dictionary

Just the other morning, there was a buzz on the ranch that felt almost like Christmas. Yes there was snow on the ground that might have been magical had it been December, but it wasn’t the magic of Santa or presents that was so exciting. No, it was the first branding of the season that kept my kids from falling to sleep. If this bunch had to choose between Christmas and branding, I would put my money down that they would take branding, hands down. From the cowboys roping in the pen to the cook fixing dinner to the kids racing across the range, everyone loves a branding day.

In fact, all sorts of visitors make their way to our range brandingshelpful neighbors, long lost family members, city folks looking for a real cowboy experience, and, not kidding, even a camera crew or two have bounced their way out there. It’s pretty easy to pick out the newbies between their dress, their walk, and especially their talk. I’ve teased before that someone needs to put together a dictionary of cowboy slang for our visiting cowpokes. At the very least then they could understand what we are talking about, al-

though watching someone trying to work out what that old cowboy is saying can be pretty entertaining.

So without an ado, here are the first few entries for the revolutionary, Cowboy Jargon Dictionary.

1. A cowboy’s outfit: No this isn’t in reference to his clothing choice of the day. A cowboy does have some… different clothing choices but that’s because they choose function over fashion. But when one cowboy compliments another cowboy’s outfit, he’s talking about his truck and trailer. Can you imagine cowboys sitting around talking about clothes? Neither can I, but it doesn’t take ANY stretch of imagination to see them talking trucks. Isn’t that written in their DNA?

2. That green broke horse: Let’s just start by saying there is nothing “broken” on a green broke horse. It isn’t “broken” like it doesn’t work. And it’s not really green, unless it was just rolling in the manure… A green broke horse is a horse in training. Inexperienced. Raw. Needing some on the job training. Usually these are young horses with high energy and are a little ignorant to what they are doing. Just think of your favorite T-ball team- a lot of

energy but most of it is spent playing in the dirt. Eventually they come around to learn the game and pull their weight. And if they don’t, we trade them off the roster.

3. Heading… or heeling… : Yes, I said that right. Just or, not a mumbled oer... Most often you hear these words together in reference to falling in love. You know- head over heels? But I’m not talking about that, although a branding would be a great place to pick up a cowboy! When you are talking heading and heeling with cowboys they are talking about roping. There’s two ends on a calf to rope- the head (hence “heading”) or the back feet or heels (yep

you got it, “heeling”). I guess you could rope the front feet, but you really don’t have much control even though they are caught.

4. Roping a dogie: (doh-gee) Don’t get caught thinking we are talking about a cowboy’s dog. We are referring to the bovine species, not canine. Put simply, a dogie is a calf without a momma. I’m not sure how dogie ever got to be part of cowboy jargon, other than some cowboy long, LONG ago just started calling his motherless calves dogie. These calves can make branding a little tricky when you have several ranches worth of cattle together. Without knowing who the mom-

ma cow belongs to, we can only guess who the calf goes with. Nobody wants to be the guy that put the wrong brand on the wrong calf!

5. “Drag ‘em to the fire”: Those are your instructions once you’ve caught your calf. The cowboys drag the calf to the fire, where we have the branding irons set up, hot and ready to leave their mark. A real fire in the middle of a corral with calves, cowboys, and horses sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. It is if you’re not careful! But how else do we get branding irons hot? There are electric irons out there, but there aren’t a lot of electrical outlets amongst the sage brush!

But don’t imagine a big bonfire or even an open fire on the ground. Back in the day they would dig a hole in the ground and light up the fire. These days we have a not-so-fancy branding box with a burner (like the burner on a gas stove) to keep the irons hot. Still plenty hot (I recommend watching your step) but not as likely to reach out and burn a cowboy!

I’d say the last bit of cowboy jargon you need to know is the call to “rustle up some grub,” but I’m pretty sure that everyone knows what that means.

Second Annual Malad Valley Renaissance Faire and Baby Animal Spring Festival

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, you are cordially invited to attend the second annual Malad Valley Renaissance Faire and Baby Animal Spring Festival Friday, May 5, & Saturday, May 6, at the Malad Valley Heritage Square in Samaria. The Faire includes a wide variety of performers, artisans, and entertainers. Our Royal Court will include a King & Queen, princesses, nobles, jesters and many other entertainers. This event promises a lot of family fun and entertainment.

There is something for everyone. This year, the Renaissance Fair is proud to introduce two new attractions:

Grandparents Only Not recommended for parents or kids

Last Sunday was Easter, which means last Saturday was “Climbthe-M-Day.” It was what every kid did back in the day. That was when parents could turn their kids loose with a backpack lunch and a pile of friends to face the mountain. They didn’t even worry about the rattlesnakes. “Send those kids up to romp on the rocks, look down over the whole valley and eat a hot dog.” The moun-

tain was always lively, and you ran into lots of friends. What a way to spend a Saturday. Life was good.

Over the years, our friends developed a competition between the boys and the girls. You were victorious if you summited the mountain first. The reward was chucking rocks down at the slow-pokes making their way to the top. It was the Wild West at its best. We were careful to just stir up the dust, no one ever got hit. That wasn’t the

Governor Little said.

“This event will give the good people of Oneida County a chance to discuss what’s on their minds when it comes to good government and how we can better serve them.”

point.

On the Friday night before Easter the girls stayed at Marie’s. I think it was the best sleepover of the year for Mary Lou, Marie’s mom, because we wanted to get to sleep early. We were all out like lights before “Nightmare” was over. (I still remember the shaky “NiiiiiiightMaaaare” before the movie started. That scared me to death.) We were awake at the crack of dawn racing up that mountain. After we reached the top, roasted our hot dogs and chucked a few rocks, we headed down for the annual American Legion Auxiliary Fashion Show. That was Malad’s answer to the Paris Runway. Anyone who wanted could be involved.

That is my point…involvement! We climbed mountains and participated in Fashion Shows all in the same day. Small Town America…that

LIONS ROAR

When at a Lions Meeting and applause is needed or a agreement vote is needed, the Lions do a roar. Come and Roar with the Lions on April 27th at the Lions 100 year celebration at the event center.

Activities and meal are available at 15 per person or 25 for a couple, with tickets available from any Lions member and at Thomas Market.

This is the third article about what the Lions have accomplished in the county and helped provide opportunities for the citizens to enjoy.

I again will only be listing some of them that the Lions have done.

One of the main fund raisers through the years for the Lions Club was to sell brooms and lightbulbs. A lot out you looked forward to buying the brooms from the Lions each year. Sorry to say this was has not happened for the last few years.

Again, as I mentioned, for most of these service projects, the Lions funded them entirely, but some we were just doing labor or were assisted by a committee to help get them accomplished:

• 1925 a permanent County Fair Board was

established with the assistance of the Malad Lions Club.

• 1945. The club assisted in securing permanent fairgrounds.

• 1950’s / 1060’s I remember at rodeo and fair time, you would see the lions putting up banners and signs for the rodeo and fair to help promote them and you would see Lions selling programs and selling tickets and other things to help out the fair board.

• 1997 Remodeled the concession stand at the fairgrounds, expanded by pouring new cement, plumbing, new cabinet tops, sink, pop cooler, deep freeze, etc.

• 1980. Helped on the cement floors poured at the old quonset and display building that used to be at the fairgrounds.

• 2007 did more repair work on the concession stand, new floor, new sinks, repaired the cooler

• 2016. Replaced the ceiling and reworked the floors and painted most the interior

• 2017 built a new ticket booth at the entrance for the fair grounds

• Note: The Lions Club manned the concession stand at the fair for many years and with most the money made was used to help keep

BRAIN TEASERS

the stand in good order and to assist in other upgrades at the fair grounds.

• 1928. Assisted in securing a landing field

• 1943 worked on securing an airport for malad with an emergency landing field.

• 1948 through efforts of the club, the county was persuaded to take over the airport, which was on the verge of being lost

• 1950. Helped organize the rural fire district

There are a lot more that I could list, but as

you can see the Lions Club has been an important part of this community for the last 100 years. At times there have been as many as 60 plus members. When I joined, there were around 40 plus. The History of Lions was conceived on the idea of uniting, on the basis of unselfish service, a businessmen’s club in the United States. Throughout the years in the Malad Club has been business owners, church leaders, school administrators ,

civic leaders and individuals who just cared about the community

The Club is always open to anyone who would like to join and follow in the traditions of Lions.Contact any current club member.

And mark your calendar to come to the 100

celebration at the event center!

Tickets available from Thayne barker Troy Allen, Don Swartz, Ed Thorpe Mike Madsen, Rex Robbins, Mike Ard, Scott McMurtry or any other Lion Member.

Easter Sunrise Service

The sun peeked over the mountains right at 7:30 a.m., welcoming a large crowd to the Easter Sunrise Service presented by the Oneida County Interfaith Council. The program was held on Easter Sunday, April 9, at the pavilion at Malad City Park.

After the welcome by Pastor Jack Harwell and the opening congregational prayer led by Toni Werk, the congregation sang “In the Garden.” Scripture readings were presented by Maieli Murray, Ron Spomer, and Pastor Jack Harwell.

ON THIS DAY

2019 World's largest plane by wingspan at 117m (385 ft), the Stratolaunch, built as a flying launch pad for satellites, takes its first flight from Mojave, California

He enjoyed working for famers, hauling hay, where he learned to drive. He loved repairing cars. He worked at the Ford garage in Malad. His pride and joy was his cherry-red 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that he saved up for and ordered brand new. He drove it in the Samaria July 4th parade the same year he won first place in the beard growing contest.

He met his future wife when he was almost 17. She chased him until he caught her! They were married on July 21, 1972. They have had a good life. He and VerLayne have enjoyed going on vacations with the kids. They square danced for several years, and had great fun traveling to dances and making new friends.

Roger was a mountain man for several years with his brother, Arthur. He bought a black powder rifle kit and assembled his rifle himself. He attended rendezvous at various places. In 1989 Roger, VerLayne, and family began attending Mount Calvary Assembly of God church in Taylorsville, Utah. Roger attended a men’s retreat in Glorietta, New Mexico. It was there he asked Jesus into his heart. This decision changed his life, he was never the same. He volunteered to be a Royal Ranger Commander, in which he worked with the young boys in our church, teaching them the word of God and taking them camping, etc. He especially enjoyed winter campouts. He was known to some people as “Brother Big Guy”. He previously had been a Boy Scout leader. Roger was a Deacon at Mount Calvary and was on the church board for many years. He was also the sound man for the church. For the last ten years he has attended Central Church of the Nazarene, helping with the food ministry.

Roger loved turquoise jewelry. His wish was for each grandchild to have one of his rings. He loved the outdoors and was a great Dutch Oven cook. He and his son, Frank, enjoyed rafting trips down the Green and Colorado Rivers. They enjoyed riding the smooth rocks near Moab on their mountain bikes. His Claim to fame was his handlebar mustache. His family was used to it, but everywhere else he went he caused quite a stir. Many people wanted to take his picture.

He enjoyed seeing plays at the Hale Center Theater. He loved spicy foods, and put Cholula on everything. He was known for making a great chile verde for his family. He was loved by his family and all who knew him. He retired after 33 years of working as a mechanic. We

could always go to him and ask a question about our cars, and he would be able to give ideas on what to check for. He was trusted for his skills and honesty. We could go to him and ask him a question about how to fix any thing or do a task that we were not quite sure about. He would think about it and give us an answer that we would never have thought of. He has helped with repairs at each of his kids homes, sometimes just small things. He learned how to do things by asking questions or just trying, and then passed those skills on to his kids. He made it look so easy that we would think we could do it ourselves.

He is survived by his wife, VerLayne: daughter, Mindy (Roy) Evenson: daughter; Heidi (Jeremy) Johnston; son; R. Frank (Sara) Atkinson; daughter; Marcy (Christopher) Atkinson-Flahaut. Grandchildren Erika (Brandon), Dylan, Dakota, Hailey, Roderick, Grace, Kohen and Keaton. Great Grandchildren Tony and Ryker. Sisters-in-law Georgia Atkinson and Doris Atkinson Collett.

Preceded in death by parents, brothers; David Sheldon, Clarence, Arthur Atkinson; sister Ivy Jean East. Thanks to all those who have prayed, sent cards, brought food, flowers, and loved us. Thanks to Sandy City Firefighters, that would come over at all hours of the day and night and pick him up off the floor. Thanks, also to Rocky Mountain Hospice for caring for Roger. Cremation provided by Goff Mortuary. Celebration of life will be at a later date. Samaria has always been in his heart and it will be his final resting place.

Stanely A. Tebbs

Local schools receive cash awards for participating in Readers Becoming Leaders

Malad Elementary and Stone Elementary were both recently the recipients of cash awards from the League of Idaho Cities for participating in the Readers Becoming Leaders program.

Readers Becoming Leaders is a program sponsored by the League of Idaho Cities that connects students to cities through reading and resources. The mission is to promote STEM learning, literacy, creative problem solving, leadership skills, and civic awareness in Idaho youth through city officials and children in an interactive storytelling environment.

Last fall, Mayor Joan Hawkins met with the three classes of third grade students at Malad Elementary and with the second and third grade classes at Stone Elementary, along with Destinie Hart from the League of Idaho Cities. The Mayor read the book “Friend City” to the students after which a discussion was held about

everything that is required for a city to run properly.

At Malad Elementary, Tyler Webster, Malad Superintendent, brought city equipment and held a question and answer session with the children.

The children at both schools provided their names for a statewide draw -

Community Mental Health project moves forward

ing. Three drawings have been held so far, with four winning entries from Malad Elementary and one winning entry from Stone Elementary. At Malad Elementary, the names of Talyze Clemons, Maudee Leavitt, Leis Ashby and Gracie Nelson, students in Mrs. Langston’s class and Mr. Grote’s class, were

drawn in the random drawings, earning a total of $400 for the third-grade classes.

At Stone Elementary, the name of David Osequera in Mrs. Richardson’s class was drawn, earning $100 for the Stone class. There will still be at least one more draw -

ing held, with the possibility of additional names drawn from the two schools.

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and The Idaho Stem Action Center both sponsor the activity for the League of Idaho Cities.

Knights of Mayhem to headline Renaissance Faire

The City of Malad has partnered with the University of Idaho to bring a Community Mental Health project to Malad City and Oneida County. The third of six meetings was held on Tuesday night with a group of local citizens who all have a concern about the issue of mental health in the community.

The mission of the group is to identify mental health issues or obstacles in the community and create an action plan that utilizes $3,000 provided by the University of Idaho to address the issue or obstacle. The vision is to create a more mentally resilient community, reduce stigma and connect individuals to resources.

In previous meetings, each member of the group shared their top priorities. The top priorities that came from those meetings were: aloneness affecting teens and the elderly and the need for connectivity with others; lack of resources, the need for professional help and the need for additional extracurricular activities; education of mental health, de-

creasing the stigma, and providing coping skills; suicide, the increasing attempts or thoughts of; lack of positive family influence, or even with a strong family influence, not knowing where to turn for help.

The coordinator, Bracken Henderson with the University of Idaho, indicated that Malad seems to have a lot of resources considering its size. But it was pointed out that people don’t know how to access those resources. The group talked about how to reach out to the people in Oneida County to provide that information. It was pointed out that while schools are in session, there is a lot of positive action that takes place for children, elementary through high school.

One of the action plans being considered is providing a webpage that would be shared by the city, the county, the schools, and hospital and linked with other sites and Facebook that provides resources and information about mental health. A second action item being considered

is to have refrigerator magnets printed, enough for each household in Oneida County, to provide telephone numbers, emails, and other access information of providers for our city and county. The third action item being considered is a plan that the school district recently became involved with called Care Solace. The program is available for cities also, and Mayor Joan Hawkins is interested in seeing if the city could join with the school district in that program.

Another suggestion made was that the community needs to become involved in more volunteer programs, such as the 911 Day of Service, where adults and children all come together to serve. Service and volunteering can provide a sense of purpose, reduces stress, and increases positive feelings. It also provides a way for people to connect with one another.

Assignments were made to investigate these plans and report at the next meeting, which will be held in May.

Twelve-time reigning World Champion Captain Charlie “Sir Charles” Andrews leads the world-renowned jousting team, The Knights of Mayhem to the 2nd Annual Malad Valley Renaissance Faire and Baby Animal Spring Festival.

This world class event headlines the list of attractions at the Heritage Square in Samaria on May 5-6. These daily jousting contests will delight and entertain the whole family. This incredible live action event is drawing rave reviews wherever they perform across the United States. One report about this jousting event described it this way:

“This is a high-impact, entertaining show, every time. Horses charging, splinters flying, knights reeling-- this is a show

you cannot see just anywhere.” It would be a shame if you miss the chance to see the incredible KNIGHTS OF MAYHEM! This event would not be possible without a group dedicated volunteers and local sponsors. A special thanks to the sponsors who have contributed thus far – Dr. Ed Thorpe, Hess Lumber, Oneida Family Dental, and Thomas Market.

BASEBALL

With a happy turn in the weather, the Dragon baseball team are officially up and running with their 2023 spring season. It has been a long wait for the team to get out on the field and coaches, players and their fans are excited to see them set to play. The Dragons spent their week on the road, playing first in Preston on Thursday, April 6, and then traveling to Green Canyon the following day.

SOFTBALL

The Lady Dragon softball team is at it again, playing big games and taking names. After waiting six weeks to take the field for their first game, the MHS softball team is on a winning streak that they plan to keep rolling all season long. They started the 2023 season with three home games against Marsh Valley, Logan High School and district rival, West Side.

Marsh Valley came into town ready and excited to play as it was their first game of the season as well. Their quick pitch provided a challenge for the Lady Dragon batters but it wasn’t enough to keep them from dominating the game. Sophomore Riglee Peterson began the scoring for Malad after hitting a double, stealing third base, and then running across home plate after teammate Gracie Goddard hit a sly bunt, allowing Peterson and Kaitlyn Pickett to score. Goddard added another run as Bostyn Combs hit a dou-

They have managed to tough out a couple of chilly days on the track, but time and time again, meets have been canceled, postponed and rescheduled. Things are starting to look more

defense started the game out strong, taking three outs on the first 3 at bats.

Third baseman Stetson Higley, scooped up a ground ball and fired it over to Brycen Howe at first base to get the first out of the inning. Pitcher Brady Showell struck out Preston’s second batter. Showell got the third out as well as he covered first base as Howe sent the ball in. The Dragons weren’t able to get far as they went to bat in the bottom of the second

ble, line drive to center field. Combs worked her way around the bases to add a final run in the first inning. Combs stole third base on a passed ball and then stole home as Addley Kimberling attempted to steal second, ending the inning, 4-0.

The Lady Dragons didn’t score again until the fourth inning when Aubrey Shultz hit a triple to right field, batting in Kimberling on third. Goddard added the sixth and final run for Malad in the bottom of the fifth inning.

First baseman, Hallie Horsley, led the team with putouts with 10 with Pickett adding another 9 from behind the plate. Peterson took to the mound for the Lady Dragons, pitching seven innings, allowing 4 runs and striking out 9 batters on 28 at bats and 91 pitches for the game.

Malad turned around to host Logan High School the following afternoon, quickly learning from the few mistakes in their

inning, getting three outs in four at bats. In fact, it wasn’t until the final inning that they finally found some momentum that put points up on the scoreboard.

Dex Maroney was first up to bat for Malad, smacking the ball to the outfield and making it to first base. Sawyer Poulsen, followed by Jaden Ward, took a base after the pitcher walked both to first base. With the bases loaded, Ryan Hubbard hit a grounder

previous game to take their errors to zero. They again took a quick lead, grabbing three runs in the first inning. Pickett found her way on base after Logan’s pitcher threw four balls. On the next play, Goddard sacrificed an out as she bunted on the first pitch, allowing Pickett to make her way around to third base. As Combs was up to bat, Pickett stole home on a wild pitch to put the first run on the scoreboard for the Lady Dragons. On the following two plays, Combs and Horsley ran the bases to add another two runs before the inning was over.

The defense was totally instep as they covered the field, only allowing two runs in the entire game. Regardless of where the hit lands, the MHS softball team is there ready to make the play. Horsley and Pickett again led in putouts, each with 7. Peterson split time on the mound with Kaysha Beck, each allowing a single run, Peterson strik-

They worked to sort out another solution, hoping they could use the indoor track in Box Elder for their meet. But another storm in the forecast for the Brigham

With only one out left in the bottom of the seventh, Ryan Jensen stepped up to the plate to hit a single to right field and bat in Ward. Higley and Jensen were able to

score on the next play as Howe hit another single to the outfield, to bring the Dragons up just two runs shy of Preston’s eight.

The team hit the bus the following day to play in Logan against the Green Canyon Wolves. Green Canyon took the lead in the opening inning and a third run in the second inning. Malad was scoreless until the seventh inning, managing two runs by Maroney and Ward, taking advantage of er-

rors by Green Canyon. Unfortunately, at the top of the inning the Wolves fell into a groove, earning nine runs before Malad forced three outs, ending the game Malad 2, Green Canyon 12. The Dragons have a packed weekend of baseball coming up. They will face Marsh Valley on Thursday, April 13 before making their way to the Glenns Ferry tournament to be played Friday and Saturday.

Monday, April 10, the Lady Dragons made a statement as they shut out rival team, West Side, in their first conference game of the season. In six innings, the team managed eleven runs, scoring in each inning except the second. Pickett shined with not one, but two home runs, the first of the season. With her home runs, Pickett was able to bat in another 6 runs, leading the team in RBIs for the game. In total, the team had 15 hits, with Pickett, Combs, Peterson,

track teams meant that it would already be in use and West Side would have to cancel. For one family of runners, bowing out wasn’t in their plans. When they were told they wouldn’t be able to race at the West Side meet, they looked around for another track meet they could compete in. Cortlyn,

Schulz and Horsley managing multiple hits.

Peterson went six innings from the mound for the Lady Dragons. On 60 throws, the pitcher had 54 strikes, allowed zero runs on a single hit while striking out 10 batters and committing no errors.

Following the games, Head Coach Christie Schow had nothing but praise for her team. She commented that it seemed like such a long time coming before they could finally take the field, but once they got there, they could see all their pre-season hard work paying off.

She said, “I am so proud of them and how they are playing. They are making those adjustments where there were errors and really tightening things up.” The coach raved about her team and the talent there- Peterson’s solid pitching, catcher Pickett calling every pitch of the games, how well the infield covers the bases, the great base running, and the calculated, yet powerful hitting. With such a great start to the game schedule, its sure to be a promising season for the Lady Dragon softball team.

Cally and Colt Coleman made their way up to the Sugar-Salem track meet on Friday, April 7, to run in the mile and two mile racers. Colt didn’t place in his races but did set new personal records in each event. The Coleman sisters placed in the top ten in the mile with Cortlyn taking first place in the two mile with a time of 12:47.

Despite conditions, West Side has committed to hold their meet Tuesday, April 11 and to make the best of the situation. The MHS track team will compete again on April 12 at the Bonneville Invitational meet and then on Friday for the rescheduled Aberdeen meet.
