Teal Tuesday Raises Awareness of Sexual Assault Prevention

On Tuesday, April 25, the Oneida Crisis Center hosted an event at the City Park Pavilion to raise awareness of the prevalence of sexual assault as a national and global issue. Teal Tuesday is a national day set aside to raise awareness of a topic that is often underreported, and where victims themselves often report feeling stigmatized.

The Crisis Center set up a stand in the City Park to distribute information on issues related to Sexual Assault, as well as services for those in need. In addition, the Center also distributed street tacos.

The mission of the Oneida Crisis Center is to educate and promote safe and healthy individuals, families, housing, and a prosperous community by working to ensure peaceful family relationships and providing support to victims of abuse.

Abuse is an issue that can resonate differently in different environments, with a range of complex underlying issues involved. Often, according to the NSRVC (National Sexual Violence Resource Center), communication can be at the heart of problems that develop in relationships where partners may have different ideas about conduct or consent. Consent, in fact, is at the heart of the message being spread by support organizations across the country this month. Relationships can strengthened by ensuring that informed consent is a mutual part of all physical relationships.

While it is never an easy topic to discuss, it is one that affects people in every part of the country, and the world. According to the most recent statistics, 81% of women and 43% of men report experiencing some form of sexual assault or harassment in their lifetimes.

Additionally, 1 in 3 female victims and 1 in 4 male victims report having been assaulted between the ages of 11 and 17. By the numbers, 734,630 people in the U.S. were sexually assaulted in 2018. If the numbers seem outside of the average experience, it’s important to note that 51.1% of females reported being assaulted by an intimate partner, and 40.8% by an acquaintance, meaning that assaults by strangers are significantly less common. These numbers, however, aren’t unique to female victims. The

numbers for male victims are very similar, with 52.4% reporting being assaulted by an acquaintance, and only 15.1% by a stranger.

While Oneida County is relatively safe in terms of the general occurrence of domestic abuse/sexual assault, it certainly isn’t immune. During any given month, the police report indicates at least one sexual assault, which is significant given the small population. Many cases of sexual assault also go unreported for any number of reasons, including the increasing prevalence of abusive interactions in online environments where the victims are less inclined to report them.

The Crisis Center encourages anyone who feels endangered or in need of support to contact its crisis line at 208766-3119, or its Spanish language line at 208-681-8715. The Main Office can be contacted at 208-766-4412.

Patti and Mark Jones to be honored by Governor

At today’s “Capital for a Day,” longtime volunteers Mark and Patti Jones are to be honored by Idaho Governor Brad Little for their service to the community. The couple, which received a Dove award at the Crisis Center’s 25th anniversary celebration, will be given special recognition by Serve Idaho and the Department of Labor during the day’s

events.

The award is part of the Serve Idaho initiative, which was founded in 1994 by Governor Cecil Andrus to promote collaborative efforts among private and nonprofit organizations, schools, and state and local government agencies to advance volunteerism throughout the state. It recognizes those who have contributed their own time and effort to bettering their communities and make them friendlier, better places.

Since 2019, Mark and Patti have volunteered with the Crisis Center, and specifically the food pantry, for untold numbers of hours. In officially recorded hours alone, the two spent 126 hours serving the needs of visitors to Carol’s Pantry just last year. In addition to the Crisis Center, Patti and Mark serve with the Malad Senior Citizen Center, Heritage Square, Idaho Farm Bureau, the Mobile Food Bank, the Red Cross, and any number of local churches and individuals.

Patti is a retired nurse, and Mark is a retired farmer living here in Malad. They have been married for 44 years, and have three children, one deceased. They were Ag Ambassadors for Idaho Farm Bureau in 2017, and have been stalwarts of the community for years.

During the early morning hours last Friday, Highland High School in Pocatello experienced a catastrophic fire to its “D” building, which houses the stage, band, and cafeteria areas. A report from the fire inspector has determined that the fire was the result of faulty electrical wiring within a section of the building. An explosion was reported in the initial report of the fire, but has not been verified or explained yet. The school will be closed to students for the foreseeable future, and classes will be completed online.

Biden announces re-election bid

President Joe Biden announced that he would seek the Democratic nomination for the presidency again. Support for Biden among Democrats is somewhat weak, with 51% of respondents to a CNN poll saying that would rather vote for someone else, with age cited as the primary reason. Former President Donald Trump is at present the strongest GOP frontrunner, with 46% support of the GOP in the same poll. An overwhelming 70% of respondents say that they would prefer other choices than a rematch of the 2020 election. Ron DeSantis, the presumptive challenger to Trump, has seen a decline in support over the last few weeks.

Treasure trove of Van Halen tracks revealed Eddie Van Halen, world-renowned rock icon, died after a long bout with cancer in 2020. His son Wolfgang and brother Alex have revealed that he left behind a large number of recordings which have never been featured on albums or used professionally. The two hope that a reconciliation with Sammy Hagar, one-time frontman of the band, might be possible to showcase the tunes, but the relationship appears to be frosty.

Yellowstone’s West Gate Officially opens for the season

On April 21, Yellowstone’s primary access point opened for its official season. The park reported that the rivers are flowing, the animals are out in force, and the park is ready for a busy year. Indeed, bookings for the spring are already above normal amounts as many people exhausted by a long winter are heading out into the wilderness. The full range of park roads are scheduled to be opened on May 12, by which time the winter snow should have finally receded.

Lions Club 100th year celebration scheduled for April 27

The Malad Lions Club, one of the oldest and most established in the region, will celebrate their 100 year anniversary on April 27 at the Event Center. The event will kick off at 6:30 p.m. at the Event Center. The meal ticket costs $15 a person, and $25 a couple. Come down to the Event Center and support an amazing local institution which has been giving back to the community for a century.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING |

The regular monthly meeting of the Oneida School Board was held on April 18, 2023, with all members present. Longtime teacher Krishele Jensen was honored as the “Employee of the Month.”

(See accompanying article.)

Students Honored

Several student groups were honored for their achievements. Representing the Malad High School FFA, Maisey Potter and Emma Lloyd reported on the State Leadership Conference held in Twin Falls and attended by six FFA members. After the Malad teams took part in Horse Judging and Floral Judging and several leadership meetings, the students toured Novolex, which makes bags for major retailers, and participated in a service project at Orton Botanical Gardens.

Sarah Young, representing the MHS Band and Choir, reported on the music groups’ tour to the University of Montana. The 35 members of the Band and Choir performed for music professors at the University and learned new skills to become better musicians. The Malad groups performed for two schools where music programs are struggling: Beaverhead High School in Dillon, Montana, and Butte County High School/Middle School in Arco, Idaho. Hopefully, by hearing the performances of a small high school’s excellent band and choir, more students at these schools will be encouraged to participate in music programs.

Six students of the MHS FCCLA reported on their State Competition at which the Malad students did well on their Star Competition events. Aubrey Corbett competed in Interior Design and received a bronze and placed 2nd. Cora Asay competed in Hospitality Tourism and Recre-

ation and received a silver and placed 2nd. Aubree Palmer (Creed Speaking), Camia Bean (Leadership) and McKenzie Leckie and Paige Wilson (Focus on Children) all received gold and placed 1st in their Star categories. Because Aubree’s event was Idaho only, she will not go to Nationals, but the others all qualified to go to the National Competition to be held in Denver.

Administrator Reports

Superintendent Jon Abrams and Board member Tresie Carter reported on events at Stone Elementary School, including the upcoming Grandparents’ Day, and information from the monthly newsletter, written by Jeanne Reeder.

Principal Sarah McIntyre of Malad Elementary School noted that a new reading curriculum had been selected, and, if the curriculum is approved by the Board, teachers will be attending professional development related to it. Because of a fence being installed around the construction site of the new elementary building, there have been a lot of changes in parking areas and bus and personal vehicle loading and unloading areas.

Principal Robert Hannah of Malad Middle School reported that five Oneida School District students were among the top 12 winners in the 2023 Idaho State School Boards Association Student Photography Contest. Trever Allen (8th grade), Cassidy Schrenk (4th grade), Marshall Asay (8th grade), Samantha Schrenk (7th grade) and Rylee Talbot (8th grade) had their winning photos published in the ISBA magazine. Mr. Hannah also noted that 110 students are out for track this spring.

Assistant Principal Kory Kay of Malad High School announced that Spanish

Also o ering OT, ST and PT in all four counties

and chemistry would be offered next year. As required by the State, financial literacy will also be offered. Superintendent Abrams clarified that this class will not require another credit or additional staffing because it can be offered within the curriculum of a course like economics. The staff went to a professional development on Power School. Baseball and softball are finally underway. Three track meets will be held on the new track this year, including the District meet. The greenhouse is close to being finished with water, electricity and heat installed and the second layer of pumice laid.

Administrator Terri Sorensen of the Idaho Home Learning Academy reported that 21 students qualified for the National Honor Society this year and that 20 more will be inducted next year. The valedictorian and salutatorian for this first IHLA graduating class have been selected. Almost all the honor students are from the Boise area. One of the partners, TechTrep, is planning graduation ceremonies in Boise and maybe Idaho Falls. Enrollment for next year is at 3859, which is about the same as at this time last year.

Superintendent Abrams announced that the District is financially sound and will easily be able to pay off the bond for the new elementary school. The Idaho Legislature made several changes in school funding, but the impact on school districts is not known, yet. The changes are anticipated to be positive for Oneida School District.

The Idaho Health and Welfare Department has created a survey about vaping to be distributed electronically to all students in grades 6-12. Parents on behalf of their students and students can opt out of participating in the survey. No Board action is required although the

Board will review the survey.

Mr. Abrams reported that the plans for the new elementary building are at the State for approval. He also noted that the plans for the ball diamonds at the high school are being finalized.

Summer Projects

The Board briefly reviewed the list of summer maintenance projects that will be funded by Elementary Secondary School Emergency Relief Funds (COVID) or the District’s general maintenance and operations fund. These projects include resurfacing the high school

parking lots, completing the remodeling of the high school weight room, carpeting the high school music room and rooms in the middle school, refinishing the middle school gym floor, replacing the middle school and Stone School roofs and the roof above the high school weight room, painting in the high school, drilling a new well for the elementary school, completing electrical work in the auto shop and some remodeling in the IHLA building. All of these projects can be completed with funds on hand.

Personnel

The following personnel were approved by the Board, pending their passing the State-mandated background checks: Sonora Garrett as a bus aide; Madison Green as the Malad Middle School volleyball coach for 2023-24; Christie Schow as a MMS teacher for 2023-24; McKay Mickinee and Enoch Ward as Malad High School volunteer track coaches; Abrielle Goddard and Samantha Jensen as MHS volunteer cheer coaches; and Amanda Signer as a long-term substitute teacher for IHLA.

Malad City Leads the Way as Idaho’s First 100% Fiber-Connected Community

As broadband accessibility increases on a state and federal level, a small town in Oneida County, Malad City, was at the forefront of such advancements.

Broadband accessibility has seemingly become a recent topic of conversation among state and federal lawmakers. As the push for providing internet access to underserved communities continues, a small town in Oneida County has enjoyed an advanced fiber network for nearly a decade. The culmination of one local company’s multi-million-dollar investment, thousands of man-hours, and a vision for the future helped transform Malad City into the state’s first 100% fiber-connected community.

ATC Communica-

tions, one of the valley’s local internet providers, was the backbone of this achievement. ATC built an advanced fiber network in Malad, a project the communications industry has coined FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home).

FTTH is the next-generation level of internet connectivity and is commonly referred to as the gold standard since it can deliver internet at ridiculously fast speeds.

Most households in Idaho have an internet connection but only 29% of Idahoans have access to fiber-optic service.

Among the top counties in the state with 1 Gig access, Oneida County is in the top ten with 80.5% of the population having access. At the top of that list is Ada County with 96%. (BroadbandNow, 2023, www.

broadbandnow.com/Idaho). According to Malad resident, Paul Richard, fiber connectivity was a key factor in the decision to move to Malad.

“I was looking for a new place to live and work,”

Paul said. “I work from home at times, and I need fast and reliable internet to make that possible. Moving to Malad City was based on the fact that it has fiber optic internet.” With more people having the option to work from home, fiber allows them to enjoy a small-town rural community and still have big city speed.

“It’s always fascinating to see how surprised people are when we tell them they have fiber to their new home in – let's say – Samaria,” Kyle Bradshaw, ATC’s General Manager said. “Peo-

ple expect those speeds in Boise but not in rural Idaho. We’re very proud of the work we’ve done in Malad, and we will continue to invest in areas like Holbrook until 100% of Oneida County is connected.”

Trying New Things

Of course now I know that grandpa only shared his wisdom with me that day because I was young and had so much life left to live. He knew there would be so many developments and opportunities that could take my life in a totally different direction if I wouldn’t have my stakes set too deep. Back then I felt he really had know idea just how much I loved everything about my ranch life.

Fortunately enough, my plan for a life of ranching was in sync with God’s plan for my life and I did find just the cowboy I was looking for. But it didn’t take long for me to realize that not all ranch life is the same. To my surprise, somewhere between my youthful proclamation and actually setting out as a young wife and mother on the family ranch, my rose colored glasses lost a little tint. I began to see that there was a lot more hard to ranching than I ever remembered.

I was sure that I would simply settle into our new ranch life, but there were so many differences from what I knew and what I was already good at that I felt like I had to learn so much of ranching over again. This wasn’t true in the slightest, but I couldn’t help but feel so far from home when I looked back to where I had come from.

Growing up we worked on a steed stock operation, not a commercial herd. We were heavily focused

on genetics, AI-ing, and tracking bloodlines. We had irrigated meadows that we would rotationally graze and were green all summer round. All of the sudden I found myself moving cows across the range instead of across the pasture that we would never return to until the next year and only if there was sufficient rain and snow. Instead of knowing every cow and her mother and her mother’s mother, there seemed too many to even count. It all looked so different and so hard. My stubborn determination and commitment to loving the ranch life served me well once again as I decided to pull up my big girl pants and figure out this new sort of ranching. Like drops in a bucket, little by little, I invested in getting to know ranching out on the range without the green irrigated pastures. And while I was getting things down, there was one thing that was still so unknown to me.

For a variety of reasons, my family was never really into roping. Instead my dad loved cutting horses and they served him well for how our operation was run. He had learned well how to work without a rope which meant I never learned. But I knew not long after marrying a cowboy that loved every opportunity he could pull out his rope, that it was something I would need to learn if I was really going to enjoy ranch life to the fullest with him. I knew that it was a piece of his ranch life that I wanted to be a part of and that without it, there was a large part of it I wouldn’t quite know or understand. I didn’t have any dreams of competing or becoming the next big thing, I just wanted to rope and ride with my family.

I’ll admit I was naive and thought that it would come easily and quickly. And when it didn’t, it was frustrating and I would put off learning for a while. But my rope kept hanging on the wall, quietly reminding me of my goal, silently pointing out that I was giving up, and wordlessly giving me hope to try again. There were days that I was sure I couldn’t figure it out. That there was no way I would ever be able to swing just right or throw just so or actually catch something in my loop.

Slowly, painfully slowly, I began to learn. I had a lot of good teachers that patiently would point out those many things that I just couldn’t work out. I would try to rope calves here and there at brandings or when the others were having a little fun in the arena. As I kept trying, little bits of what I was being shown and told would fall into place and I began seeing progress. Finally I decided to start putting my practice into play and rode into the pen to rope and brand with the crew. I almost hate to say it out loud but I was scared. What if I messed up? What if I couldn’t do it? What if I caused a wreck and someone got hurt? My highly analytical brain was going overboard trying to make plans and contingencies for what I should do in every possible scenario I could think of. I was shaking like a leaf with all the adrenaline running through my body, something that only made my task seem harder. Slowly, I took a deep breath and decided to throw caution to the wind and just go for it.

I don’t remember the specifics of catching that first set of heels or how many (or few!) that I caught that day, if I’m being honest. What I do remember was the pure joy of roping that calf, accomplishing that goal that seemed unachievable for me, and the relief that my hard work had paid off. I was ready for another one, and another and another. Oddly enough, my excitement that day wasn’t so much about the roping itself. Don’t get me wrong, I loved it, but

there was so much satisfaction about overcoming something that was so hard for me to do. It was more about conquering something that seemed unattainable.

Over the last few years my progress has still been slow. With so many parts of mom life, wife life, ranch life and just LIFE life, I don’t dedicate a lot of time to my improvement. But I can still see progress. Just this last weekend, I had the best few days of roping of my short years doing it that has left me both totally satisfied and wanting more.

This great industry that we are a part of is an ever evolving and changing game. Just when we think we know exactly how to get things done, things are going to be different and we just might have to learn something new. In order to maximize our outputs, we may have to consider changing our inputs and begin doing things differently. The saying goes that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and while I’m not old by any means, I can surely attest that learning new things can be so hard. But it is also so worth it. Being a late blooming prodigy sure would have been a lot easier when I wanted to learn to rope. But I have to admit that the satisfaction of learning something hard and not giving up for such a long time was made all the sweeter by having to tough through it. Progress can be messy and difficult, but the satisfaction of learning something new, improving ourselves and our operations, will always be worth it.

According to the nomination submitted by Crisis Center Housing Specialist Advocate Marcia Stocks: “Patti and Mark are a team! They are willing to help in any way they can and they don’t want or need the notoriety of doing it!

They are an outstanding example of what charity is all about. They strive to bring peace to others, whether it be in the home with food, a listening ear, or a Mom just needing a little time away from the stress of daily life. They

believe that it doesn’t matter how hard your life has been or how much you have, if you can give back and try to make it better for others, then you should do it! Oneida County is a more prosperous community by the generosity and willingness of those like Patti & Mark to reach out and include others no matter what their age, gender or race is. While Patti is a walking resource, Mark is her filing cabinet of direction and support. If she doesn’t know, she will find out! Everyone is equal in their eyes and this helps to ensure healthy family and community

members. This couple is silently teaching others by their example of promoting safe and healthy individuals, giving support to those in need no matter the circumstances. Their judge free spirit is something that we can all learn from and hopefully can continue to pass onto others.”

Marcia Stocks shared a story about the couples’ willingness to help others in need in her nomination. She recounted a tale of one community member who had found herself in an abusive relationship. When the Crisis Center had managed to find a suitable apartment,

Patti and Mark stepped in to transport the individuals from various doctor’s appointments and stores to take care of her immediate needs, and visit with her every day to ensure that her food and medication needs were being properly taken care of.

According to Stocks, the couple opened their ears and the hearts to help the situation in every way they could, which was an excellent example of their integrity and caring. Malad is grateful for people with such an impressive capacity for caring, and the governor seems to agree.

“[Krishele] is an outstanding teacher and a member of [the Middle School] leadership team. She takes every responsibility seriously. She has to since she is our building’s test coordinator. State

testing is a big deal, and Krishele builds the schedule and makes sure everything goes right.

“Krishele is a veteran teacher in our school district and welcomes change. A school day can change at any time, and I can always count on her forward thinking. That trait has helped create a successful climate for student learning at our school.”

Mr. Hannah added that he never has to worry when Krishele is in charge of something; he knows it will be done right.

In recognition of the honor, Krishele received a copy of the “Starfish” poem, a gift card, and a plaque that will be displayed in the District Office for the next month.

Isn’t that simple? Well, I guess it is. I was reading through my AARP magazine and came across this quote from Wynonna and it keeps running through my mind. Move…isn’t that simple? Well, maybe not as simple as it used to be.

house and excitedly announced, “I did a flip. Come see. It was my very first flip.” She was euphoric! We all went outside and watched her flip on the trampoline. She lands on her behind, but she is working on planting those feet, and she never seems to tire of flipping herself in the air.

On the other end of the spectrum, we have Grandma Red. She’s been walking for about 40 years at least four or five times a week. She had a serious heart attack in 1985, the doctor told her to walk if she wanted to stay alive,

and she took him at his word. She is still walking, and the heart is still beating. Some mornings she says she would rather stay in bed, but then she remembers, “If you want to live, walk.” She wants to live for lots of reasons, and right now seeing the Jazz next year is at the top of the list. She’s walking!

So, moving is simple, it helps you feel euphoric, and it might even keep you alive. You don’t have to do a flip, you just have to move. Do it for the Good Life, you’ll feel better…isn’t that simple?

Quarterly report

Leigh Love reported that the LGIP (Local Government Investment Pool) and other investments has resulted in a profit of over $6,000, and a profit of over $14,000 from CDs. $81,895 dollars was made in total on investments in the first quarter, though $45,000 is held in bonds which haven’t matured yet. The quarterly report was approved by the commission.

Tax Exemption Request

The Masonic Lodge has requested tax exempt status from the county, as did the relic and historical society (the museum) and Samaria Water and Irrigation. Lon Colton mentioned that the legislature has passed a law establishing irrigation companies as entities who qualify for the exemption, but don’t need to submit a request for it. The law does not go into effect until July. St. Paul’s Catholic Mission and Victory Baptist church also applied for the exemption.

Pastor Jack spoke to the commission about the church’s community mission and outreach.

Luke Waldron spoke to the commissioners about three properties in Samaria, which have been held in trust by the town. In 1974, the park was placed into a trust. The “town springs “was entered into a trust in 1900.

The rodeo ground/town square was entered into a trust in 1889. According to Waldron, these locations have always been treated as community property. A petition was made to have those properties placed into oversight by the recreation district was initially denied. At present, a process to ascertain any claims on ownership and quit-claim the properties to the recreation district is underway. Waldron presented the original property deeds to the county attorney.

The Assessor’s Office brought before the commission a request to authorize records which had passed their necessary storage date. Resolution 2023-02-04 to allow for the destruction of expired motor vehicle records was approved.

Rep Clay Handy Legislative Recap

Representative Clay Handy spoke to the commission about his session at the state legislature. Handy explained his committee assignments and some of the bills he had been involved with over the session. Handy was responsible for a bill which allowed for the expunging of juvenile records after three years rather than five. Handy claimed that recidivism is lowered by the change. Lon Colton asked Rep Handy to clarify the Board of Guardians issue. Guardians are appointed to manage the health care and legal affairs of those deemed to be in need of stewardship. Handy and Brower explained that the guardianship terminated at the individual’s death, which was the source of the issue. Handy is looking at a bill that will expand the role of a guardian through interment and other decisions.

Health Dept. Budget Request

Southeast Idaho Public Health spoke to the commission about their budget request. A recent bill to increase the tax on vaping products was defeated by the Idaho legislature. The commissioners, county attorney, and public health representatives discussed strategies for supporting such a bill during the next session.

The department requested that Chairman Lewis attend the budget hearing on May 18th in Pocatello at 9:30 a.m. House Bill 316 from 2021 eliminated the state indigence fund, as well as some other health funding elements. The bill requires

localities to increase their contribution to the health districts. The additional county aid needed for the eight county area SE Idaho Health covers is over $1,142,000 dollars. 2023 budget request is over $2,370,096. According to the funding formula set by Idaho code, Oneida’s portion of that will be for 4,712 residents, or 2.6% of the total. County aid requested is $31,539 for the county contribution.

Franklin County had the largest percentage change in the 8 group area. Oneida grew by 110 people. Overall population growth was 1.8%. The biggest percentage jump in the state was in Caldwell.

Due to House Bill 316, the amount of funding for the health department that used to be provided by the state fund is now required directly from the county. $29,342 is Oneida County’s obligation in that area. The total for the county is $60,881, or 2.6% of the overall health department budget request for 2023.

The commission agreed to support the budget for the health department when the budget is finalized later in the year. The increase due to the lack of state funds is to some extent offset by the removal of the indigent fund’s requirements in the past.

The commission requested insight from the health department about ways to spend the roughly $22,000 given by the county from the recent opioid settlement. Suggestions included providing training to LEOs (Law Enforcement Officers) and EMS for dealing with opioid situations in the county. Narcan and naloxone resources were also discussed.

These two drugs are used to reverse the effects of overdose. The Health department suggested that teaching people about alternatives to opioids for pain management is an important step. Prevention and consumer education were also discussed. The idea of contracting with public education institutions to provide education, especially to school children with prevention in mind, was also discussed. She suggested that the department had a contract with the school district, which might allow for educational courses.

Sheriff’s Office

Sheriff Arne Jones spoke to the commission about the servers

Summer Help

Malad City is accepting applications for summer help. Apply at Malad City Hall 59 Bannock Street 208-766-4160 Applications are due by May 3, 2023. Must be 16 years or older

in the sheriff’s department. The sheriff reported that the drives were full, with video and other needed information maxing out their storage capacity. A bid was received for two new servers—one in the courthouse, and one in another location. Due to requirements to keep documents for five or ten years depending on the type of information, space becomes limited. It runs out even faster with video content. The bid would cover 32 terabytes of data, which Jones felt would provide storage into the future for a number of years. Lon Colton suggested that money already budgeted to the department from the county for computer upgrades could be used. Chairman Lewis mentioned the SHSP funds that need to be used by June, and inquired whether servers might qualify for that expense. $8,464.60 was requested for the server purchase. A motion to approve the purchase of the servers was made ($5,235 of the cost would come out of SHSP funds, and the rest from other sources). The exact source of the funding (since the qualification of servers for the SHSP funds was not clear) will be determined later.

The Sheriff reported on ongoing advertising for dispatchers. The response has not been high for the position, which was attributed to several factors, but primarily the starting salary. Jones suggested raising the starting salary as a way to attract applicants to the position. Chairman Lewis requested a plan for detailing what the salary structure would look like.

Jones also reported that the locks in the Sheriff’s Office need to be replaced. A bid was received, but has not been put into motion yet. The Sheriff also mentioned the need for additional security cameras in the courthouse, as there were some areas of the structure that were not covered at present. The Chairman requested a drawing or schematic of where they might be required.

SHSP Grants, 2020 Emergency Manager Dan Williams joined the conversation to discuss the other SHSP funds that need to be spent. Williams shared an allowable equipment list that might be used to apply the funds. A drone was discussed as a useful addition to the

county. The project will need to be completed within the next two months to qualify, which rules out a number of projects.

Williams suggested a number of things which were commented on by the commission, including defibrillators for the courthouse and Event Center, first aid kits, a drone for reconnaissance during emergencies. The commission decided to look into the first two items as priorities, and to be accounted for by the remaining SHSP funds.

Road and Bridge equipment needs

Road and Bridge Director Dianna Dredge approached the commission about several equipment concerns for the department. The leased grader the department currently uses needs to be returned in January of 2024. If the department wishes to lease another grader for the next year, it needs to be arranged for now, given the turnaround time for such equipment. The current grader is currently costing about $35K a year, and requires a new engine and rental for up to $80K. An annual lease, on the other hand, runs around $48K. Dredge requested obtaining a new lease for a new grader for the one due in January. The grader which will be received in May will have its lease offset by the trade-in of the G grader, which is the oldest one in the fleet. Three graders are typically considered to be necessary to keep the county roads in drivable condition during the year.

The commission requested a detailed proposal, but agreed that leasing a new grader was the best course of action moving forward.

Comprehensive Plan Updates

Commissioner Jeppsen discussed a variety of options for moving forward with the writing of the Comprehensive plan. A number of engineering firms have been suggested as having good knowledge of the county, as well as other organizations that may be able to provide insight and support.

The Comprehensive Plan, which needs to be updated, sets the overall vision for the county in terms of future development and growth. As a result, it has an effect on the way the Development Code is implemented and understood.

The commission will continue its work on the finalization of a new Comprehensive Plan.

PDC Report

All counties receive $25,000/year for Public Defender funds. Oneida County shares its PD with Power County, which provides some additional funds. The allocated money will all be used by the end of the fiscal year. A motion to accept the PD funds for fiscal year 2024 was made and approved.

Senior Center Report

Commissioner Jeppsen reported on the status of the Senior Center. Due to the loss of funds from SICOG, the Senior Center has begun to see a serious drain on their resources, especially the provision of meals. Commission Jeppsen planned to contact the agency to inquire about the loss of funding, which was not available during the session. SICOG (the Southeast Idaho Council of Governments) was reported to have eliminating funding for a number of Senior Centers in the region, though again, without any official explanation from the organization.

Swimming Pool

It was reported that swimming lessons made a profit of $5,600 in 2022. A new online booking and billing system has been requested for the facility. Lon Colton reported that the county’s current online billing system may not work with the current system in place at the pool. A replacement system was discussed, to allow in person and online electronic payment through the same system. A motion to accept Bookeo as the booking system and a separate billing company the handle the online transactions was approved for up to $600.

Respectful Workforce Training

Scheduled for May 16. Two sessions (10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.) are slotted for county employees. The sessions will be mandatory for employees, and encouraged for volunteers. A motion to approve expenses for lunch for the training was passed.

The Board of County Commissioners then went into executive session to discuss additional matters.

Historical signs soon to be placed around town

Malad is a city with a long and rich history. While many who graduate from a school in the valley learn quite about their town’s history in the course of their education, the Museum has secured an initial batch of 20 historic markers to note the places that have impacted the formation and building of the town. From locations important in the early church origins of the town to those important to business and social life, these markers will provide an informative walkable landscape of historical information.

Founded in 1864, Malad City was one of the first villages settled in Idaho. Its important and interesting past is reflected in the many historically significant buildings in the City. Every building in downtown Malad along Bannock Street (a cutoff of the Oregon Trail) and North Main Street (formerly the Gold Road or Montana Road) has a story. One of the Onei-

Based

IDAHO & UTAH

da Pioneer Museum’s purposes is to preserve those stories, both by housing artifacts for display and by marking historic sites throughout Oneida County.

To begin the project of identifying sites and then researching their history, the Oneida Pioneer Museum’s Historic Signs and Tours Subcommittee used information compiled by Luke Waldron’s 8th grade social studies classes as published in “Do You Know Malad?”

Twenty sites in downtown Malad were initially identified for the first phase of the project. After conducting research in The Idaho Enterprise, historic documents in the Oneida Pioneer Museum and the Family History Center and books such as The History of the Malad Stake 1888-1988, and interviewing current and past owners of properties, the histories were compiled along with pictures and other related documents.

Each full version of the history of a site was

edited to about 80 words for an historic marker and then printed on a heavy aluminum sign.

Members of the Museum subcommittee are in the process of discussing with property owners the placement of the signs with the goal of having all 20 historic markers in place by Memorial Day. The long versions of the histories and related pictures, notes and other documents will soon be found on the Museum’s website: www.oneidapioneermuseum.org. A brochure with a map indicating the location of each historic site will be available by Memorial Day at the Museum and on the website.

The members of the subcommittee are Bill Lewis, Marvin Hess, Larry Thomas and Jean Thomas. They have already identified 25 more historically significant sites for the next phase of the project with the eventual goal of identifying sites and placing historic markers throughout Oneida County.

Team #11 is top ranks during the first week of Malad Round Robin Trap Shoot; Lance Fisher is top shooter

Rhodes.

Lance Fisher, the A shooter for Team 23, was the top shooter for the first week. Shooting 48 “birds” out of 50. Good job Lance!

There are twenty-five five-shooter teams this year. The action at the Trap House south of

town will resume this weekend. Malad Gun Club leaders invite everyone to stop in to watch the action. The concessions counter will be serving up good food. Come on down and have yourself some fun and a good ole “trap burger.”

Cloverbuds Meet for Spring Craft

As the snow keeps falling outside, 16 Cloverbuds, ages 5 to 7, got together to make butterflies for spring. 4H Leaders Kelly Sorenson and Sherry Moeller handed out supplies and the assembly began with clothes pins, mini pom poms and some glue. The children were instructed to make two butterflies each, one to take home and one to exhibit at the Oneida County Fair in August.

Pom poms of various sizes were glued along the bridge of the clothes pin, larger ones for the body and smaller ones for the back and tail. Googley eyes were also placed on the head of the butterfly. Patience was needed to let this first step of drying take place.

Pipe cleaners in bright colors were selected for the antennas and coffee filters…. yes, coffee filters, for

the wings. Then the young artists colored the filters with markers in bright colors and shapes. The magic happens when the colorful filters are sprayed with water and the result is a “tie dye” design. When the “wings” dried, they were folded in a fan pattern, and the pipe cleaners were shaped into a cork screw share and both placed in the clip side of the clothes pin.

TRACK SEASON BEGINS

The MHS track and field team have literally hit the track running as the weather has finally allowed outdoor meets to be held. Over the last two weeks, the team has tallied up four track meets, including several rescheduled meets and their first on their

home track in years.

It was an exciting day for Malad’s athletes to compete on their new refinished track in front of their hometown fans as they hosted Aberdeen, American Falls, Bear Lake, Grace, Marsh Valley, North Gem, Rockland, and West

As the Cloverbuds completed their projects, and shared them with each other, the snow outside dissipated and the sun came out! A sure sign of spring ahead. The Cloverbuds will meet again on May 12 for a Mother’s Day project. Registration is required. For more information please phone the Oneida County Extention Office 4H at (208) 766-2243.

Side. The MHS track coaches and athletes look forward to hosting a second meet on Thursday, May 4, as well as the 2A district meet before the season is over.

The Dragon track and fielders had the opportunity to compete against athletes from

Early 4-H Cloverbuds group meets for fun and friendship

27 teams at the DirectCom Invitation Track Meet held at ISU’s David Field. Despite the steep competition, Malad’s athletes did well, placing in several events throughout the day.

As the season continues, the MHS track team continues

to see improvements. At nearly every meet, the athletes are setting new season or personal records for their events. With several weeks left in the season, it will be exciting to see just what the team can accomplish.

The Dragons got rolling offensively as Brady Showell went to bat in the bottom of second inning. With the count at two outs, Showell singled to center field. As teammate, Sawyer Poulson, was up to bat, Showell managed to take second base on a wild pitch. Poulson then hit a fly ball to the outfield, batting in Showell to put the first run on the board for the Dragons.

In the next inning, it was Ryan Jensen and Jaden Ward that scored runs for Malad while Chase Briggs was up to bat. The hitter sent the ball on a line drive to second base, giving Jensen on third and Ward on first, the chance to round

the bases and head for home.

Scoring again in the fourth inning, Malad began to run away with the game. Ryan Hubbard was first to bat for the Dragons, getting walked to first base after Bear Lake’s pitcher passed four consecutive balls outside the strike zone. Hubbard advanced to second base on the next at bat as Jensen grounded out to shortstop and to third as Dex Maroney hit a fly ball to right field. Hubbard took the chance to take home as Ward was up to bat, scoring as the count was two and one.

On the next pitch, Ward singled on a ground ball to shortstop, batting in Maroney and tallying the score up 5-2. Ward added a final run for the inning, scoring as Gaiden Combs hit a double fly ball to center field.

The Dragons finished off the Bears in the sixth inning as they added six more runs to their count. Maroney, Ward, Briggs, Showell, and Combs each grabbed another run with Gabe Hooste earning his first one of

the game to round out the scoring.

Ward led the scoring for Dragons, earning three runs on three at bats on two hits. Briggs helped take the team to victory by leading the team with four runs batted in, followed by Hooste with two.

After letting two runs by in the opening inning, Malad held their opponent scoreless throughout the remainder of the game. Stetson Higley stepped up to the mound as pitcher for the Dragons, pitching six innings and allowing only two runs on two hits with two walks while striking out 11 batters. Defensively, catcher Combs led the team with nine putouts with first baseman Jensen adding another eight.

The Dragon’s remaining games of the week didn’t fare as well as they played Snake River the following day and Ririe over the weekend. Against the Panthers, Malad struggled to play their own game, giving up six runs by the close of the third inning. The Dragons found it difficult at the plate, only

SOFTBALL

The Lady Dragon softball team finally had a week to slow down after trying to fit in games after a late start to the spring season. The week’s play featured only their home tournament where they defeated West Jefferson and American Falls. The annual Malad Invitational Scott Ray softball tournament honors and celebrates Coach Ray who was instrumental in starting the traveling softball team for players age fourteen and under. In 1997, Coach Ray stepped up as the high school softball coach, earning 12 consecutive district titles and taking his team to the State Championship game multiple years.

In their opening game of the tournament, the Lady Dragons held their own as the West Jefferson Panthers brought a solid game of hitting, fielding and pitching, demanding Malad to play at the top of their game. Malad began the scoring for the game, getting one run early in the first inning. Riglee Peterson, first up to bat, found herself on second base after a single

earning four hits over 25 at bats. Higley finally put a run on the scoreboard in the sixth inning as Showell doubled to right field to put the final score, 1-6.

The Firth Cougars pulled away in the 6th inning to take the lead from Malad in their final game of the week. After being tied at one run each for three innings, the Dragons put up three big runs in the fifth inning from Cael Seamons, Blaisdell, and Ward. But it wasn’t enough as the Cougars made their way through the final inning of the game.

Despite the tough losses, Coach Bo Clark shared, “We are heading in a good direction. We played well in our win against Bear Lake and also played well in the loss to Firth. Unfortunately we just didn’t play well in the Snake River game.”

hit and advanced on an error. Peterson made her way to third base as Aubrey Shultz grounded out to first base on the next at bat. As Graycee Goddard was at the plate next, Peterson took advantage of a wild pitch to score the Dragons first run of the game.

The Panthers didn’t respond with their own run until the third inning where they tied the score, 1-1. The single score came after West Jefferson’s left fielder, Pancheri, managed a triple on the team’s first at bat of the inning.

It wasn’t until the bottom of the fourth inning that Malad was able to take the lead back. Bostyn Combs, on base after hitting a single to center field, was able to advance to second base after a West Jefferson error. Hallie Horlsey, next in the batting order, singled to shortstop, providing Combs the means to make her way to third base.

Kaitlyn Pickett followed at the plate, singling on a line drive to center field and batting in both Combs and Hors-

ley to bring the score 3-1. Both teams tallied one more run in the fifth and final inning of the game. Hadlee Summers, first to bat for the Lady Dragons in the last inning, scored in just two plays by stealing home as Shultz was up to bat.

Peterson was once again at the mound pitching for Malad. Over five innings, the hurler allowed two runs on eight hits, striking out seven of the 22 batters she faced.

Pickett led the defense with eight putouts as catcher with Horsley adding another four from first base.

Malad jumped to a quick lead in their next game against American Falls, scoring three runs in the first inning by Peterson, Schulz, and Combs. American Falls hung in there with Malad, scoring two runs to close out the inning. As the Lady Dragons returned to hitting in the second inning, they added two more runs by Peterson and Shulz.

The Lady Dragons continued putting distance between them-

selves and the Beavers on the scoreboard as they played through the third inning. With Beth McClain on second after being walked on base by American Falls pitcher and advancing to second on a wild pitch, Peterson hit a home run to bat in McClain and bring the score to 7-3. Combs and Horsley added two more runs in the fourth inning, with Goddard, Horsley and Adley Kimberling bringing in the final three runs of the game in the sixth inning.

Coach Christie Schow changed up her defense to begin the game, sending Combs to the pitcher's mound, Pickett from behind the plate to left field, Peterson to shortstop and Shulz as catcher. She continued to shift her players throughout the game, giving Horsley a chance to pitch and Pickett a look at being first baseman. Peterson returned to pitch to close out the second inning and remained for the final three innings. Schulz led the team with putouts, getting seven from behind home plate. Peter-

son led the team in hitting, getting three runs on three hits on five at bats while batting in two of her teammates.
