Oneida County's News Since 1879

Rick Neville named Honored Veteran

Malad resident Rick Neville will be riding in this year’s Fourth of July parade as the Honored Veteran. Neville, who is originally from South Ogden, has seen a lot of places in his time, but he decided that Malad was his home over twelve years ago and has made a life here ever since. Each year for the town’s Independence Day celebration, the American Legion selects a veteran to represent the history and honor of the branches of military service within the county and community.

Neville is a proud Navy vet, having served a tour of duty in Vietnam from 1963 to 1967 in Da Nang on a Destroyer, where he provided artillery support to the army and marines, and checked boats for contraband and enemy soldiers in the harbor. Despite the intensity of the conflict, Neville says “I thoroughly enjoyed the Navy. I saw a lot of the world and I learned a lot.

If you asked me if I’d join up again, I would do it in a heartbeat.”

Neville found a group of vets here in Malad that he has become friends with over the years. Though he has recently experienced some health problems, Neville is recovering, and hopes to be back at the Legion for Bingo as soon as possible. “I like to BS with those guys over there,” he says. “I’ve met a lot of people that way.”

While he hasn’t always lived in Oneida county, Rick has definitely taken to it.

“I like Malad, it’s a good place. Idaho is one of the best states we’ve got going, and I’d rather be in a town like this than a big one. I like it, my wife likes it. It’s not a bad drive to anywhere you might need to go to get things. And I love the people here— you mind their business and they mind theirs,” he says. From his front porch, he enjoys watching the birds that flock to his flowers and trees, and the sounds of the kids playing at the AquaPlunge.

“Those kids are just having a ball over at the pool. I love that,” he says.

Growing up in Ogden, and then working there after his navy service, Neville had his fill of bigger cities with the accompanying problems. He spent most of his career in law enforcement in Ogden and Sandy, Oregon. He worked as a police officer and range instructor, as well as with the Department of Defense to provide base secu-

rity. “They wanted people on the base who knew how to investigate and handle things like police instead of just security guards.”

His brother went to school in Caldwell on a basketball scholarship and married a woman from Idaho, which brought Rick up into the state off and on. “I got to like Idaho quite a bit. We used to come up to fish Daniels and other spots around here. There’s some great places for fly fishing around here.”

Although he is a more recent resident of the Malad Valley, his family has a long history in the area. Neville’s ancestors came across the plains with Brigham Young, and eventually ran the stage shop and a store, and then raised horses for the army. “Can you

imagine that? Those were some tough old guys, riding horses for the army back then,” he says, reflectively. “I used to love to ride horses. I can’t any more—I’ve got pins in my knees—but I’d sure love to do it again.”

Asked what he plans to do during the parade, he responds, “I guess I’ll be sitting in the car throwing candy to kids. Of course, I love taffy, so I’ll probably be eating a lot of that. And then I’ll get over to the park to see what’s going on.”

He and his wife moved to Idaho twelve years ago, and don’t have any plans of moving anywhere else. “I like it here. And I’ll keep on going. You live until they punch your card, I guess,” he smiles.

A Busy Schedule for this weekend; next week

The end of June and beginning of July bring two of Malad’s biggest events to town back to back. The Malad Valley Welsh Festival runs from June 30 through July 2, and the Independence Day celebration begins on Monday July 3, and culminates on Tuesday, July 4 with fireworks. Residents and visitors can look forward to days of food, fun, games, activities, music, and unexpected surprises over what is predicted to be a run of warm days in the upper 80s. Although there is a chance of rain on Monday, overall the weather should be perfect for a great time outdoors!

Welsh Festival--Friday

The Welsh Festival is scheduled to begin bright and early on Friday morning at 9:15 a.m. at the 2nd Ward church

Wagner Group complicates situation in Russia

A paramilitary group who has been assisting the Russian army in its invasion of Ukraine staged an aborted rebellion against the Russian military over the weekend, which ended when the group altered its course away from Russian territory. Initially, it was rumored that the group had intended to depose the current military leadership of Russia for what it saw as a betrayal and an attempt to disband it and absorb it into the Russian military proper. The exact dimensions of the interaction between the two are still unclear, and not being directly addressed by either Vladimir Putin, or the Wagner group leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, though Putin declared that the event had communicated weakness to Russia’s enemies.

Nighttime temperatures send warning signal

The heatwave that has been blanketing Texas and other Southern states for several weeks has affected millions of Americans with withering triple digit temperatures. A new development of the heatwave is said to represent an even more dangerous situation, especially for those without access to air conditioning. All across the region, nighttime temperatures are expected to break all-time highs, which prevents the air from cooling back down at night, and perpetuates the high temperature situation. The condition is being blamed on increased moisture in the air, which holds heat in during the day and keeps it in the atmosphere during the night. Dallas, for instance, is predicted to see nighttime temps that remain above 80 for at least a week.

Each year, the Idaho Transportation Department and other agencies remind drivers that the roughly 100 days between Memorial Day and Labor Day are the most dangerous for road accidents and fatalities. Due to the number of vehicles on the road and the often hectic roadways, especially on and around holidays, drivers are asked to pay extra attention to their speeds, their surroundings, and potential hazards on the road. The Fourth of July weekend in particular generally sees an increase in the number of ticketed vehicles. As you go about your holiday plans this weekend, make sure to keep safety in mind.

Jimmy Fallon visits Mike’s Music in Idaho Falls

On Monday, comedian and talk show host Jimmy Fallon stopped in at Mike’s Music store in Idaho Falls to buy a guitar. While the reason Fallon was in town wasn’t disclosed, he spent about 45 minutes in the store chatting with the owner, and leaving behind a signed guitar pick. The same shop has had a visit from Harrison Ford, who rented a piano, and many musicians in the past. On a related celebrity note, Henry Winkler recently made his way through several Idaho towns while fishing the North Fork.

The 17th annual Malad Valley Welsh Festival will have something for everyone of all ages. While the purpose of the Festival is to preserve and celebrate the Welsh pioneer heritage of Malad Valley, attendees will be entertained by music, poetry, wagon rides to historic sites, presentations, displays, the quilt show, and other events while learning a little about the history of Malad Valley.

The Festival’s main activities are on Friday, June 30, and Saturday, July 1, in Malad City Park and the adjacent church building. See www.welshfestival. com for the schedule and more information.

Kids will enjoy the games organized by the Malad After-School Program on Friday, painting dragons, building castles, drawing pictures, and all kinds of activities will be fun for younger children.

On Saturday, kids of all ages will enjoy learning and playing the type of games pioneers played as they

walked across the Plains to Malad Valley. Organized by the Malad Middle School MathCounts Team, participants will “walk” the pioneer trail while stick pulling, stilt walking, and learning other pioneer-era activities.

The Malad High School Dragonettes will do face painting at their activity tent near the Information Booth in City Park on both days.

The Youth Poetry Competition will be at 1:00 p.m. on Friday in the church chapel where the Malad Elementary, Middle, and High School semi-finalists of the poetry contest will read or recite their poems.

Authentic Welsh cookies, breads, and other goodies will be for sale and show that, while the Welsh are not famous for their food, their traditional foods are delicious.

Under the leadership of Tony McClain and Bill Lewis, the Scouts will set up the awnings for vendors and activities and set up chairs and tables for various events.

The last event of the Malad Valley Welsh Festival will be a Fireside on Sunday, July 2, at 5:00 p.m. at the 2nd4th- 5th Ward building (the church by Malad City Park). The topic is “The History of the Logan Temple,” which will be presented by Robert Washburn, who grew up in the shadow of the temple. Bob was asked a year ago by his Stake President in Providence to prepare a presentation about the history of the temple, and he has spoken at several meetings in

Cache Valley about the Logan Temple.

The Malad Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was in the Logan Temple District from 1884 to 2012 when the Stake was switched to the Brigham City Temple District. Many current and former residents of Oneida County have fond memories of the Logan Temple.

The Logan Temple was the 3rd temple completed in Utah and was dedicated in 1884 after seven years of construction, mostly by

volunteers. Men from Samaria, Malad, and Portage were among those who worked on the temple. Through the years, the Logan Temple has been remodeled and modernized several times. As one of the pioneer-era temples, the Logan Temple will be undergoing a third major renovation sometime in the future. The Malad Valley Men’s Welsh Chorus will sing at the Fireside. Refreshments will be provided by the Malad Stake High Council and Relief Society.

Both teams put a run on the board in each the first four innings. Finally, in the bottom of the fifth after another score by Fort Hall, Malad broke away to take an 8 – 5 lead. They hung on to win 9 – 5.

event this year where the state’s high government officials have visited a municipality to discuss issues pertinent to their area.

A plaque was given to Superintendent Lynn Schow for all the help the Oneida County School District gives the HeadStart program. A plaque was also given to Pat Origer. Origer donated his time and backhoe to help get the fibar under the HeadStart playground.

35 YEARS AGO (1988)

Unseasonably hot temperatures took their toll on I-15 Friday between Malad and Woodruff when a section of the freeway buckled in the heat and another began to show signs of stress. The interstate “blowout” occurred suddenly on southbound I-15 at the Woodruff Overpass bringing traffic to a halt. On the other side, signs that the same thing might happen began to show up at the Two-Mile Overpass about the same time. In Malad Wednesday afternoon the sidewalk in front of Ed Jones’ Jolly Rancher office on Bannock suddenly rose up about a foot.

Highly loved and respected U.S. history and government teacher, Melvin Joe Davis, has been named this year’s Grand Marshall for the Malad Fourth of July Parade by the Malad Chamber of Commerce. Davis has been a teach-

er for the past 38 years since graduating from Utah State University, and during those years has endeared himself to hundreds of students.

The Idaho State University School of Vocational-Technical Education dean’s list for spring semester has been announced and Mark Colton and Joseph Dale Jones, both of Malad were listed.

The Malad Chamber of Commerce was presented a check for $4,000 by Joe Campbell, Vice President and Manager of Idaho First National Bank’s Malad Office to be used toward a “Welcome to Malad” sign.

School officials are seeking vandals following two vandalism sprees at the Malad Elementary School and school busses. When the school custodian arrived on June 23, he was confronted with broken eggs splattered all over walls, ceiling and windows in the front entry and hallway at the school. A pop machine has been pried open, and three buses in the parking lot had also been vandalized. When school employees arrived on June 2, they again found the building had been vandalized. This time black spray paint had been used to write offensive and obscene statements on walls, floors and windows of the main floor and on three buses being worked on in the high school shop. School equipment in the shop was also coated with black paint, as were the instructor’s desk and papers. Mustard, sticky tape and fire extinguisher dust was also used in other rooms of the school.

By Gramma Dot

I went with Elle to summer library hour today. Back in my day that would have meant sit down and listen to a story or two, check out a book and then head home. It is a whole new world!

First of all, Elle gathered up her packet which was better than a Christmas present: paper, pencil, pencil sharpener, colored pencils, clay modeling tools and more. She put her packet on a bowery table and then ran to play at the playground while I went into the library to check out a book. By the time I returned to the bowery, kids were gathering, the tables were full, and the gong sounded. That’s right, our library has a Doug Adams’ bell to call the kids to order and it works. They settled down, and Jill Vanderwood was introduced. Jill is not just an around-town local, this woman is a published author. She took about ten minutes and explained dialogue and the use of quotation marks to the kids. Parents, that is a bona fide standards-based skill your darlings are tested on. Anytime someone helps in that regard, be grateful! After this intro to dialogue, the library staff passed out

some cartoon panels complete with conversation bubbles and the kids practiced some dialogue. Clever way to reinforce what had just been taught.

Next, came art. The staff passed a pound of clay to each child there. Not Play Dough or slime or even salt dough. Real modeling clay. Now I understood why the modeling tools were in Elle’s packet. I wanted a packet of my own. Krystal Fonnesbeck, MHS art teacher, demonstrated slab modeling to the students, who then created an avocado dish, complete with a pit scored to adhere to the slab plate. They learned how to use their palm to form the slab, a modeling knife to cut the design and scoring tools to keep the pit on the dish. In Elle’s eyes that avocado dish was right up there with Michelangelo’s Pieta. She was understandably proud.

After, creating their masterpiece, each child

lined up at the library door to pick out a book. Not check out but pick out. Pick out a book for their own home library. Finally, just in case reviewing a standards-based skill, creating a sculpture, and getting a new book weren’t enough, each child picked up an otter pop on the way out. All I could think on our way home was, “If we would have had a story hour like that, I’ll bet Dean Landon would have read a book.” Life is good when your community has the Best Library in the State!

City of Malad Water System

Drinking Water Quality Report 2022

This is our 2022 annual report on the quality of your drinking water. This is to let our customers know where their water comes from, what it contains and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/ CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) or http://www.epa.gov/safewater/hotline/.

Currently, all our water comes from well #1& #4. We have two backup wells which only run-in cases of emergency.

The City of Malad Water System routinely monitors monthly for drinking water contaminants. There were no violations. Along with the monthly monitoring, Malad tested the System for disinfection byproducts, synthetic organic chemicals and volatile organic chemicals. None were detected.

Our City Council meets on the second Wednesday of every month. Please feel free to participate in these meetings.

General Drinking Water Information

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) or http://www. epa.gov/safewater/hotline/.

Contaminants that may be present in water source include:

Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.

Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.

Pesticides and herbicides may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture and residential uses.

Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the number of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Lead Informational Statement (Health effects and ways to reduce exposure)

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The City of Malad is responsible for providing high quality drinking water but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your drinking water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available form the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www. epa.gov/safewater/lead.

This report will not be mailed to consumers but is available on request by contacting Tyler Webster at (208) 766-4160.

Below is a chart listing the most recent contaminants and the date the contaminants were detected in our water.

Vendors at the Welsh Festival

Need a unique gift for yourself or someone else? Come to the Malad Valley Welsh Festival on Friday, June 30, and Saturday, July 1, and visit over 25 craft and gift vendors. Set up in Malad City Park, the vendors will be selling everything from jewelry to rock art, cowgirl clothing to alpaca wool sweaters, pumice-based soaps to home décor, chalk art to learning games for kids, and many more items.

Award-winning author

Carla Kelly will be selling and autographing her books, and representatives from Renewal by Andersen will consult with people about custom windows and doors. Many vendors are returning to the Festival as well as several new sellers setting up their

awnings in the Park for both days of the Festival. At the Welsh Country Store, visitors will be able to buy souvenir Welsh Festival shirts, caps, ties, and totes, books of past Festivals’ winning poetry, family history books featuring the stories of Malad Valley pioneers, Ron Dennis’s books, and Welshthemed items, including flags and carved love spoon ornaments and magnets.

When you get hungry during the Festival, visit the nine food vendors for a snack, a drink, or a meal. Local favorites Bamma Wamma’s, Swaffles, The Frozen Cow, The Hungry Heifer, and Iron Door Smokehouse Grill will be set up near the pavilion in Malad City Park. Other food vendors are

returning to the Festival with fish and chips, gyros and fajitas, and corn dogs.

For authentic (or almost authentic) treats, visit the Taste of Wales booth for Welsh cakes, breads, and other goodies prepared by members of Malad High School’s FCCLA. Another option is to go out to Samaria and visit the Welsh Kitchens where traditional Welsh foods, including Welsh rarebit, will be prepared in the cabins at Malad Valley Heritage Square. Demonstrations will be given throughout both days of the Festival.

See the Festival schedule at www.welshfestival.com, and plan to participate in the 17th annual Malad Valley Welsh Festival.

Idaho Republican State Central Committee Has Restored Voters' Right To Vote In The Presidential Contest

Challis, ID —

Members of the Idaho Republican State Central Committee overwhelmingly voted to choose their delegates for the Republican National Convention’s Presidential Nominating contest through a caucus system, adopting a caucus proposal at our summer meeting in Challis, Idaho.

This vote moves Idaho into the early stages of the Republican Presidential nominating fight — allowing Idaho Republicans to vote fifth in the nation and before Super Tuesday.

Commentators and political pundits expect this coming year’s race for the Republican nomination to be hotly contested, with every delegate selected playing a key role in the ultimate

outcome.

Earlier this year, some elected Idahoans voted to change and then remove the presidential primary from state statute, leaving Idaho Republican voters with zero ability to vote for their preference in the 2024 Presidential contest.

Recognizing the importance of voter participation and accessibility, the State Central Committee has also passed a resolution urging the legislature to reinstate the March presidential primary. In the event that the March Presidential primary is not restored, the Idaho Republican caucus will serve as our comprehensive plan to ensure a robust Presidential selection process.

In response to the adoption of the cau-

Under the guise of ‘innovation,’ the wealthy and powerful want to manipulate our electoral systems to rig outcomes that favor their interests.

SUMMER SPORTS

The Malad Dragon sports teams are working to keep their game in check through the summer months and are seeing some exciting progress and outcomes.

From Lady Dragon basketball to softball and to their counterparts on the boys’ teams, the last several weeks have been good for the Dragon athletes.

The Lady Dragons basketball team has had a full month of clinics, camps, jamborees and

tournaments. As they have focused on their individual skills as well as team chemistry and execution, they have seen great progress in their play. As they have faced off in abbreviated games against teams like American Falls, Preston, March Valley, Bear River and West Side they have seen opportunities to try new plays, improved skill and switch up the lineup players to illustrate the progress, potential, and depth to their teams.

“Summer has been busy!” said girls head basketball Coach Trevor Jones. “We try to provide as many opportunities for the girls to be in the gym and on the court in game settings as much as possible and have seen a great response from the players.”

Coach Jones admits that between the open gyms, team camps, individual camps, helping with youth camps, the 10,000 shot club, weight room sessions, jambo-

rees and tournaments, in addition to the similar schedule for other sports, the player’s schedules are pretty full. But they also see the hunger and satisfaction their team has as they are seeing it paying off. Coach Jones shared, “It is amazing to see the girls take advantage of those opportunities and put in the work. This summer has been a fun one. We have a lot of returning players and a lot of girls have made it a priority to be in the gym.

Our summer games have been very promising.”

With their weekly double or triple header jamborees combined with 6-7 game tour, the team is already approaching 50 game opportunities against a variety of skill levels with team schools ranging from 1A - 5A.

“It has been good for the girls to see a lot of different teams and different styles of basketball,” continued Coach Jones.

“This also allows us to see different opponents,

different strategies increase court awareness, basketball IQ and most importantly let them run the court and get reps in. There have been a lot of highlights on and off the court. Every level is stepping up! We have awesome freshmen coming out and starting to make a name for themselves, the JV playing big and having a winning record in all tournaments,

Baseball All-Idaho Team includes three from Malad

Several members of the Malad Dragon baseball team are celebrating after the 2A coaches have cast their votes for the All-Idaho team. After the state championship win to end the 2023, being named to the first team tops off their season in an impressive way. Included in on the Idaho All-State team from the 2A conference from the Dragon baseball team is Steston Higley, Dax Maroney and Jaden

Ward. Higley, pitcher and 3rd baseman for the MHS team, tallied up 58 at bats for the season, resulting in 18 hits, 8 runs, and 15 RBIs. As one of Malad’s top pitchers, Higley took to the mound for 43.2 innings against 182 batters, throwing 726 pitches, allowing only 19 runs on 20 hits, striking out 62 batters. From the field, Higley added an additional 18 putouts and 17 assists. At the conclusion of the IHSAA

and the Varsity has been playing at a high level. Altogether we have had some great team building activities, hit some big shots, focused on learning fundamentals and team plays, hitting game winners at the buzzer, and making big defensive stops.”

Most recently, the team is coming off of a big tournament victory as they won the Butte County tournament for the second year in a row. With the great progress the players individually and the team collectively has made, Coach Jones

says, “With one of the toughest districts in the state, it will be an exciting season coming up this November!”

The MHS boys basketball team is similarly excited to see their team in the gym over the summer months and the progress they are making. While they have been playing in several weekday and weekend games, their latest competition on the court has been as they played in the American Falls tournament last weekend. Through the pool play and tournament games, each of the three Dragon teams played well, resulting in Freshmen

baseball tournament, Higley was named as the tournament MVP after throwing his maximum number of pitches, 110 throws, against Nampa, striking out 10 batters after allowing only 3 runs on 3 hits. In the final championship game, Higley’s opponents had a dismal batting average of .172.

Shortstop, Maroney, finished his senior season with the Dragons in a stellar fashion from behind the plate, around

team taking first place as they beat out Rockland and North Fremont, the JV Team winning second in their bracket as beat South Fremont and lost to Grace, and the Varsity team taking first as they beat American Falls and Burley.

Pleased with the summer’s progress thus far, Coach Zack Beutler shared, “Last summer compared to this summer, we are pleased with not only increased participation but also seeing the boys improving and seeing the fruits of the time and effort they are investing in the sport.

He ended the season with 25 stolen bases, only being caught once to end the year with an impressive 96.15% rate. From the field Maroney added 29 putouts and 28 assists while committing only 3 errors. Maroney was also named to the 2A All-Tournament team.

The final Dragon

staff have been exceptional. We have a higher turnout this summer than last and the boys are improving their personal skill set immensely. We’ve seen as we focus on fundamentals and personal skills that it has translated to team improvement and success. We told the boys this last weekend that they are the ones making the changes. We as coaches are teaching, guiding and advising but they are the ones that are enacting change and executing on both ends of the floor.”

While they haven’t been playing such an intense or rigorous schedule, the Lady Dragon

player named to the All-Idaho team is senior outfielder Ward. Ward finished his final season of the Malad Dragon baseball career with 63 at bats, resulting in 26 runs, on 23 hits, while also batting in an outstanding 17 teammates.

From the field he was responsible for an additional 14 putouts for Malad.

At the conclusion of the state tournament, Brady Showell was also name to the All-Tourna-

softball team suited up for the annual Bear River softball tournament. For many, this marks the final summer season this team, that was created six years ago, will play together. The team ended the tournament in a big way, winning the gold medal bracket.

Several members of the Dragon baseball team are running the bases as they play on the Malad American Legion teams at various games and tournaments over the last several weeks. The teams have seen some great growth and success, both as a team and as individuals. They have had some exciting wins

In 7 innings Showell pitched 94 balls, allowsing 0 runs on 2 hits, striking 6 batters and committing zero errors. For the season, Showell totalled 38.2 innings pitched, faced 173 batters, throwing 631 pitches, allowed 18 runs on 21 hits, with 46 strikeouts.

over tough competition as well as close losses that could have gone either way. Each game is adding experience and reps that will be crucial when they come back to their regular season. The team’s busy schedule shows games into July, giving them the classic summer days and nights on the field.

Players, parents, coaches and fans haven’t let off of their favorite sports as they make through their summer months. Whether it's for love or insanity, the Dragon athletes are setting up for their next season to be the best one yet!
