71st Annual Curlew Valley Rodeo

Once again, the 2-day Stone Rodeo held up to its reputation as the best small-town rodeo around. Fans, competitors, committee members, and judges gathered from all around to enjoy the finest cowboy entertainment around for the 71st Annual Curlew Valley Amateur Rodeo July 24 and 25. With a full show and plenty of slack before and after the performance, the crowd could be nothing but pleased with the tough competition and the hometown favorite runs each night.

The rodeo had a rocky start with a storm barreling through the opening night, ruining the arena sound system. But the rodeo was not to be deterred and the show went on with rodeo emcee Glen Gilles announcing from horseback in the arena. If there was one silver lining of the night’s hiccup is that the fans demonstrated how dedicated they were to their favorite summertime rodeo. With a little duct tape, a little glue, and a lot of prayers, the sound system was back up and running for the Tuesday night rodeo.

Following the Grand Entry and singing of the National Anthem, the rodeo board, consisting of members throughout the Curlew Valley including President Rondell Skidmore, Rick Steed, Tim Munns, Ken Eliason, Bart Neal, Denver Hawkes, Brayden Eliason, Cody Carter, Matt Branch and Nathan Eliason, took a moment to remember one the committee’s first members, Don Eliason, who had recently passed away. With Don’s horse in tow and his empty saddle on its back, Ken and Ron Eliason took a lap around the arena to honor their father as Rod Arbon said a few words of remembrance.

From the first bronc to the final bull, the rodeo was as exciting as ever. Fans commented that the rough stock provided by “Reggie” Carpenter with Hoggan Rodeo Company was up to the task, rank enough for a good show but worthy of their riders. The Wild Horse Race didn’t disappoint in the least as the daring teams attempted to swing a rider on their bucking horse for a lap around the arena. The fan favorite

Lori Vallow Daybell sentencing Monday

Lori Daybell Vallow, has been at the center of national headlines ever since the deaths of two of her children. In May, an Ada County jury convicted Lori of three counts of conspiracy to commit murder, two counts of first-degree murder, and grand theft, all related to the deaths of her two children, J.J. Vallow and Tylee Ryan as well as the death of Tammy Daybell. The maximum sentencing guidelines allow for life sentences for each conspiracy and murder charge, as well as up to 20 years for grand theft related to financial fraud. Vallow Daybell was ultimately sentenced to three consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole for murder, and separate life sentences for conspiracy, as well as ten years for grand theft. She will also be tried for murder in Arizona at some point in the future.

U.S. ties with Portugal to survive World Cup group play

As a result of a draw with Netherlands during the group play round of the Women’s World Cup, the U.S. found itself in need of a win or draw over Portugal, who is a new entrant into Cup play, in order to move on to the next round. At the end of the match, the twotime Cup winning U.S. Women’s team managed a 0-0 tie,narrowly avoiding being eliminated from the tournament, and receiving criticism from some on the sidelines. The U.S. will likely play Sweden in the Round of 16 on Sunday.

Human remains found at Bear Lake

Human remains have reportedly been discovered on the shore of Bear Lake in Idaho. According to a news release from the Bear Lake County Sheriff's Office, deputies received a call around 11:42 a.m. Thursday from people who were visiting the shore of the lake. The callers had been digging in the sand while attempting to build a sandcastle and "uncovered what they believed to be human bones," according to the release.

An initial investigation by deputies found that the bones were indeed human. The Bear Lake County Sheriff's office said it is coordinating with the Idaho State University Anthropology department to examine the site and recover any other remains. Bear Lake and surrounding counties have stated that there are not any current cold cases they believe to be connected to the find.

calf riding brought with it cheers and laughs as the littlest of riders settled into the chutes for their moment of glory, each walking out with a prized $2 bill for their prize. The rodeo featured several hometown cowboys and cowgirls as they stepped up to compete, with a few even taking home a

little cash and well-earned clout.

Tom Simpson of Malad took first in the calf roping event with a time of 12.21 followed by Oak Smith from Holbrook in second with a 13.89.

Paul Reubens dies at 70 Comedian and actor Paul Reubens, most famous for his portrayal of the character Pee-Wee Herman, has passed away at the age of 70. Reubens was an icon of the 1980s, especially following the release of the 1985’s classic film “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.” The actor reprised the role a number of times since then in films and televised specials, but also acted in a wide range of comic and dramatic roles outside his work as the famous character. He had reportedly been fighting cancer for a number of years.

Oppenheimer, the Bomb, and dispatches from Oneida County

It’s somewhat unusual for a historical biopic to be seen as one of the biggest summer blockbusters, but the recent Christopher Nolan film “Oppenheimer” has certainly become that in 2023. Although not quite making the box office take of “Barbie,” the film, a recounting of the scientific pursuit of the nuclear fission bomb designed to create surrender conditions for Japan during World War II has been making the kind of showing usually reserved for superhero movies.

This is likely due in part to director Christopher Nolan, who has a track record of crafting well-performing summer films such as “The Dark Knight” and “Inception.” However, while Nolan’s popular films are generally action-oriented, “Oppenheimer” is essentially a three-hour discussion between scientists and politicians.

It is more likely that the centrality of the film’s subject—the advent of a nuclear world—is the compelling key to its success and the desire of so many to spend time with it.

Reviews of the film vary, though most critics and audiences seem to agree that it avoids presenting an overly simplified take on the question of the bomb’s role in peacekeeping. In fact, the mixture of feelings that those involved in the project experienced can be said to be the core subject matter of the film.

The test detonation on July 16, 1945 in the New Mexico desert was kept massively top secret, and only revealed to the public after the two nuclear bombs had been deployed over Japan. There are no indications of any awareness of said tests in papers throughout July. Our readers might find it interesting, however, to read the first piece published in the Enterprise after the reality of the bomb was made

known to the world on August 6, 1945. The paper, dated August 9, 1945 discusses the hope for Japanese surrender following the bombings and the entrance of Russia into the Pacific theatre.

Atomic Bomb: Earth Shaking. August 9, 1945

Best kept secret of the war the sensational atomic bomb electrified the Allied world with its possibilities for bringing the Japanese soon to their knees and revolutionizing postwar life, while staggering the enemy with its terrible destructive potentialities.

Armed with the new weapon, which promises to outmode all existing forms of armament on land and sea and air, the U.S. was in a position to deliver another unconditional surrender ultimatum to the Japanese, this time threatening to wreak even greater ruin than that being wrought by the swarms of Flying Forts now bombarding the empire.

In a war already noted for the remotely-controlled buzz bomb and rocket developed by the Germans, the atomic bomb remains the outstanding scientific product, embodying, as it does, the magic substance uranium, known as U-235, the 235 representing its weight in atoms, the smallest particles of matter. First isolated in 1789, uranium is a metallic element found along with radium in pitchblende and carnotite ore, and possessing

great powers of energy through its explosive atomic contents.

With Maj. Gen. Leslie R. Groves in overall charge of production of the atomic bomb, and Dr. R. J. Oppenheimer of the University of California responsible for the technical development of it, special pains were taken to preserve the secrecy of the explosive, packing a force greater than 20,000 tons of TNT.

At Richland, Wash., the huge plant, sprawling over 400,000 acres, was divided into three parts, one for the production of material; another for its refinement, and the third for storing raw materials.

Some idea of the terrific explosive effect of the new atomic bomb on the harassed Japanese cities can be gleaned from the results of the test of the charge in the desert lands of New Mexico.

With U-235 giving off heat, light, and power, the explosion lit the countryside for miles around with a brightness even greater than the day, with the flash seen 520 miles away at Needles, Calif., and a blind girl near Albuquerque, N.M., noting the presence of the flash shortly before the detonation.

The explosion itself set off a heavy pressure wave, which knocked down two men at a control center 10,000 yards away, and completely vaporized the steel tower upon which the atomic bomb rested. A huge, multi-colored cloud surged upward to over 40,000 feet, commanding the sky.

In dropping the single 400-pound charge on the rail and industrial center of Hiroshima, on B-29 wiped out 60 per cent of the once thriving Honshu municipality, army air force reconnaissance reported. Fires swept extensively over the stricken area and only a few concrete structures remained standing in the heart of the city, with the interior of these even scorched.

In the welter of excitement over the atomic bomb, the tremendous possibilities of harnessing U-235 to peacetime uses commanded popular attention. Any hopes that the material might be immediately available, however, were spiked by war department reports that much additional research was needed for designing machinery for producing peacetime energy.

Realization of the terrific destructive potentialities of the atomic bomb sobered jubilation over President Truman’s announcement of its usage to bring the enemy to his knees.

Comment ranged from the statement of Senator Capper (Ret. Kans.) that “I hope we can control it” to the declaration of Representative Lea (Dem., Cali.) that “This emphasizes the necessity of nations providing

some method of settling disputes without recourse to war. Otherwise, it might mean the end of civilization.”

As the end of film “Oppenheimer” suggests, the long term effects of the bombing were more than just the end of the war. As one of the characters states, “this isn’t the last act of the war, it’s the beginning of a new one.”

The Cold War, which generally defines the period between WWII and the fall of the Eastern bloc at the end of the 1980s, was characterized by uncertainty and suspicion on both sides of the ocean between the nuclear armed U.S. and the equally armed U.S.S.R. This resulted in a number of proxy wars such as Korea and Vietnam in which many Oneida County service members were active. One event, often considered the peak of Cold War tension, is now referred to as The Cuban Missile Crisis, and occurred during the month of October in 1962.

The Soviet Union planned to station nuclear capable missiles in its satellite Cuba, within easy reach of the U.S. mainland. This led to an immediate escalation of tensions as a U.S. blockade was announced to prevent the placement of the weapons.

The image which accompanies this story was recently brought into the office by Welton Ward, and is of the 89th Quartermaster Corps, which was mobilized out of Logan in 1962 in response to the Cuban Missile Crisis. If you recognize anyone in the picture, let us know and we’ll run the image with full attributions when we are able.

The article below was written as the Crisis was ending, but it conveys a vivid sense of how real and present threats from the nuclear-armed Soviets were perceived to be at the time.

Readiness Against Attack Stressed at Boise Meeting. November 1, 1962

Need for re-evaluation of preparedness plans in case of atomic attack was stressed at a state-wide conference of county, city, and Civil Defense leaders called in Boise

Monday by Governor Robert E. Smylie after the Cuban crisis brought a renewed interest in CD [Civil Defense] plans throughout the U.S. Present at the conference from here were A.G. Willie, chairman of the Oneida County Commissioners; Mayor John V. Evans and Charles J. Nielsen, Oneida Civil Defense director.

State CD leaders stressed at the meeting that communities will have to rely pretty much upon themselves during the early stages of attack and one of the most important things to sustaining life will be an adequate supply of food and water—enough to last two weeks at least.

It was urged again that each family make complete preparations as soon as possible to insure its safety in the event of an attack and complete information on how this may best be done is available from Civil Defense organizations in every county of the state.

Following the conference, Mr. Nielsen reported here that Oneida County is quite well prepared to meet an emergency situation with an adequate supply of foods, fuel, and medicines available and law enforcement agencies alerted to help solve problems that arise during a crisis.

He said that Mrs. Wanda Jones and Mrs. Edith Archibald have been named co-chairmen of the women’s division of the Civil Defense unity in Oneida County.

A CD survey shows that there is an estimated $90,000 worth of foodstuffs in Oneida County at the present and this amount would supply 2,000 people for a five week period without rationing. It is also estimated that there are 71,800 gallons of gasoline and 120,000 gallons of diesel fuels available in the county.

Mr. Nielsen stated that practice alerts have shown that it is possible to have all school children returned to their homes throughout the county within 45 minutes after an alarm is sounded and groups of citizens will be formed to pick up city children in school who are not assigned to ride busses.

Insects and Agriculture

By Allison Eliason

Bugs. Can’t live with them. Can’t live without them. If there was one thing that could make life a little more enjoyable, it would be to have a few less bugs out there. Like all of them. No more buzzing or biting or stinging or messes. And for farmers, no more bugs stripping down their fields, crops and yields. True, in the grand scheme of things, insects have an important role, but when it comes to farming bugs tend to do more harm than good.

It’s hard to see from a distance, but out in those farm fields are hundreds of thousands of bugs. Big ones, small ones, and even teensy tiny ones that we can hardly see. Like any living thing, certain bugs thrive in particular environments while others can’t survive- dry vs wet, hot vs cold, and such. Fortunately, while there are insects that are true pests in a hay field as they eat away the nutritious leaves, there are also predatory bugs that work to rid the fields of such bugs.

Looking at a list of good bugs and bad bugs, there are plenty that we know and have plenty of experience with. But there are a few on there that might be new and might change how you look at your field full of bugs. Let's take a quick dive to look at a few of the bugs you might find in your farm fields.

At this time of year, probably every field is teeming with grasshoppers, probably the number one have reeking bugs around. Year after year we have seen

the detrimental effects of grasshoppers as they will feed on any above ground foliage. In drought years when there is less range grasses and plants, there is an uptick of grasshoppers moving into farm crops. Grasshoppers can seem near impossible to control but there are a few other bugs on your side. Wasps, ground beetles and robber flies prey on grasshoppers, trying to do their part to keep numbers down.

Not nearly so harmful but still a pest in its own right are aphids. Aphids, a small green soft bodied bug that largely sucks the nutrients from plants. There are some varieties that can be much more damaging as they not only deplete nutrients but also inject a toxin that can kill the plants. A number of plants prey on aphids but the most commonly known predator bug to help control aphid populations are lady bugs.

Lady bugs also prey on alfalfa weevil, an important component in keeping weevil numbers at bay. Adult alfalfa weevil aren’t so much of a problem themselves, but the larvae can be especially damaging to crop fields. As the larvae grow, they hide and live within the plant's leaves and munch away at the developing leaves,

stripping the plant of its nutritional bits.

It's not just bugs eating at the leaves that are causing havoc in crops. There are also pests that cause plant damage at the root level like the clover root curculio. Feeding on roots damages the plants in various ways as it prevents a strong root establishment in young seedlings and can prevent sufficient water uptake in more mature plants. Ground beetles and wolf spiders are some of the predatory insects that limit clover root curculio impact as they prey on both mature bugs and their eggs.

There are far more pest and predatory bugs that can be mentioned here but it gives a glimpse of what is happening at the insect level of a farm field. There may be grasshoppers, aphids, and weevil in there attempting to wreck the bumper crop that’s coming in, but there is also an army of ladybugs, ground beetles, spiders and the like that are there to defend it.

Her father, Eddie Davis, was born in Pleasantview and later moved to Pocatello. They had a farm in Arbon Valley, where she spent a lot of her growing up years.

She is survivied by her husband of 74 years, Eldon Loy Martindale, her 5 children Randy (Sherrie) Martindale, Clint (Candace) Martindale, Kristen (Kenny) Openshaw, Brad Martindale (Korin Bartel), Lois Bodily (Matt Anderson), fourteen grandkids, and six great grandkids.

Grandparents Only

Not recommended for parents or kids

By Gramma Dot

The Oneida County Fair is just around the corner. Every August just before school starts, we all come together to celebrate our abundance and talents. I have some vivid memories of the Fair.

½ cup lemon juice

½ cup sugar

1.5 cups cold water

Cut the lemons in half and squeeze out the juice or simply use regular lemon juice. Place the lemon juice in sugar in a bowl and whisk together until fully combined. Add the water and whisk again to combine. Pour the mixture into your mold, top, and insert the popsicle stick. Freeze for 6 hours. To unmold the popsicles, run warm to hot water over the mold for 30 seconds. Gently release the popsicle from the mold.

The Best (and Easiest) Ice Cream

You’ll Ever Make

From BarefeetintheKitchen.com

1¾ cups heavy cream

1¼ cup whole milk

¾ cup sugar

⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt

1 tablespoon vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean split in half lengthwise or Optional: 2 cups of add-ins – soft brownies, cookies, and blondies work great

Pour 1 cup of the cream into a

saucepan and add the sugar, salt. Scrape the seeds of the vanilla bean into the pot and then add the vanilla pod to the pot. Warm the mixture over medium heat, just until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and add the remaining cream, milk, and vanilla extract (if using extract). Stir to combine and chill in the refrigerator. When ready to churn, remove the vanilla pod, whisk mixture again and pour into ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer the finished ice cream to an airtight container and place in the freezer until ready to serve. Enjoy!

Dole Whip Copycat

4 ounces pineapple juice

From BellyFull.net

1 big scoop vanilla ice cream (about 3/4 cup)

2 cups frozen pineapple chunks

2 tablespoons sugar , optional but recommended splash of lemon juice pinch of salt

Combine all the ingredients in a blender (in the order listed); blend until smooth and ultra creamy, pushing down the pineapple chunks if necessary, about 3 minutes.

At this point you can pour into dessert cups. But I like to freeze the mixture for 30-40 minutes, then transfer to a piping bag with a 1M “star” tip (to get that iconic Dole Whip swirl.)

Swirl into glasses.

(To help the soft-serve hold its

shape even longer, freeze the swirled whip another 20 minutes.)

Watermelon Slushy

From TheKitchenIsMyPlayground.com

6 c. watermelon cubes, seeds removed*

1/4 c. granulated sugar

1 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice

7-Up or Sprite for serving

Place watermelon cubes in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Place a strainer over a large bowl or 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Pour processed watermelon through the strainer to remove the pulp, reserving the strained juice.

Stir granulated sugar and lemon juice into the watermelon juice until the sugar is fully dissolved. Place the bowl or baking dish in the freezer and freeze the mixture

for 2 to 3 hours, stirring with a fork every 45 minutes or so to break up ice crystals.

When ready to serve, scrape the watermelon slush with a large spoon to create “shavings.” Spoon slush shavings into a glass, filling the glass about 3/4 full. Pour in a little 7-Up or Sprite and stir. Garnish as desired.

NOTES

* Six cups watermelon cubes, pureed and strained, yields about 4 cups watermelon juice. You can use watermelon juice released and collected when cutting up a whole watermelon instead, for all or part of the pureed juice.

OBITUARY SUBMISSION INFO

Everyone remembers Grandma Leona Williams’ beautiful fair entries. She did quilts and handwork and raised produce and flowers aplenty. However, the one entry that sticks in my mind is her bottled carrots. The carrots were all lined up inside the jar with little red pimentos in the center of each carrot disk. The disks were cut uniformly and each one fit perfectly next to the others facing out along the surface of the quart jar. There was not one pimento that slipped out of the center of each carrot disk. That quart jar was as awe-inspiring as the Mona Lisa. I don’t know how she did it, and I especially don’t know how she al-

lowed anyone to open that jar and eat those carrots when the Fair was over. I guess her consolation was having a Grand Champion ribbon to display!

Ruth Thomas tells about her family getting entries ready for the Fair. They were serious competitors. The prize money was used for school clothes and supplies, so they were going for the blue. Then, there were Gladys Evans’ flowers. It amazed me that her small yard in the back of Jack’s Snacks could produce so many beautiful floral arrangements. The Daniels Herefords were always on display. You could tell the difference between the city kids and the country kids by how fast they moved through the livestock barns. I was a “city” kid and not too comfortable navigating my way through two rows of steers’ backends. I did not dilly dally.

Friend Bob Crowther always helps at the Fair and has encouraged

Grandpa Brent to participate. In fact, one year a Brent Evanson onion won Reserve Champion in the produce section. We were surprised and proud! So, what have you got? Think you can replicate the pimento carrots or harvest some giant produce? There are so many options for entry: quilts, photography, handwork, flowers, paintings, produce, animals, cake decorating, baking and on and on. Take a minute and find something that will help make our Fair the best. The best because everyone participates. Then, be sure to wander through the displays and see if you can find an entry that will stay in your memory for 50 years. Maybe it will be a jar of carrots, a beautiful photograph or painting, or maybe a giant tomato. Something that shows how much people care and how lucky we are to live the Good Life!

The American Legion Post 65 Dragons spent last week competing in the Area C Division A District tournament, held in Idaho Falls on Wednesday through Friday, July 25 - 27. There were 12 teams that qualified to compete in this tournament. The top three teams from the tournament earned a chance to compete in the state competition in Lewiston, Idaho.

"It was fun this year to coach these fine young men," said Coach Justin Howe. "I am not only proud of the way they played but I am proud of the way they are off the field as well. I wasn't sure if we had a shot this year, being the smallest school and it being our first year being District eligible. But these boys proved they can play with anybody. It's such a blessing to me to be a part of these boys' lives at this time. I appreciate the parents and Coaches Billy Peabody, Garen Atkinson, and Gary Combs for helping and for the time they put into this program. Also, thank you Russ Wilson and the American Legion for giving these boys the opportunity to compete like this."

The 60th Annual Malad All-Star Tournament brought a lot of exciting baseball to the Malad City Park Thursday through Saturday, July 26 - 28. There were two tournaments during this three-day event.

The first-place team in the Major League Tournament was the Bear River Cubs. The second-place trophy went to the Venom. The two Malad teams finished in third/fourth, just missing their chance to play in the Championship game. In the Minor League Tournament, the first-place team was the Marsh Valley Eagles. the second-place trophy went to the Malad Dragons.

CASA

Director Tara Contreras spoke to the commission about the organization she represents, CASA. CASA is a court appointed special advocacy program which exists to speak in court for the best interests of the children involved in cases. Advocates are involved in cases and can receive information on the child, and communicate to the judge what they have found.

Many judges find the more detailed information about the needs and situations of children involved in ongoing cases very helpful, as they usually do not have the ability to obtain that information independent of advocacy groups. Advocates are present in hearings and in communication with judges throughout a wide variety of legal situations in which children are involved.

Chairman Lewis wanted to know who requests or initiates CASA’s involvement in the cases. Contreras explained that when a child is taken into state care, CASA is notified, though there must be an open child protection case in order for CASA involvement. Volunteers are from many counties. Oneida has one volunteer involved in the 6th district. There were 216 kids involved in 126 cases throughout the sixth district last year, including five cases in Oneida. There are currently four open cases, involving sixteen minors.

Robert Phillips Phillips spoke to the commission about the cost of a building permit for the enclosure recently approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Rhonda Neal explained that the building fee should be based on the determined nature of the building for the purposes of inspection. Building Inspector Tory Richardson will potentially work with Robert Bigelow to determine what kind of inspections need to be done going forward. According to Phillips, modified ag buildings often have phases of inspection. Chairman Lewis stressed that he wanted the decision made about the building and its inspection to be fair to people who came afterward with similar planning/ zoning requests. Tory Richardson was given the authority to determine the fee for inspec-

tion of the building and plans through a motion from Brian Jeppsen which was approved by the commissioners.

Bob Stokes

Bob Stokes spoke to the commission about the retirement of Gene Caldwell as the VSO (Veterans Service Officer). VSOs serve an important role in assisting military Veterans, Retirees, and their Next of Kin. Gene Caldwell, who has served in the capacity of VSO with the American Legion, plans to step down after December. There are plans underway for Bob Stokes to take over in the position, once the process for an appointment through the county is determined. The VSO position is a county position, which is funded by the county. Lon Colton clarified that the proper sequence was for Gene Caldwell to announce his retirement first, then the commission could discuss the replacement for the position. The Legion has unanimously selected Stokes as the new VSO.

The reason for the conversation specifically is that yearly training for the VSO position is coming up in Boise, and it was believed that it would be more efficient to have Stokes attend the training, as Caldwell does not plan to. Because the issue was a discussion, rather than an Action, item on the agenda, it was not possible for the commission to take any action with regard to funding travel reimbursement. The commission will look into the county’s relationship/responsibility with appointments of the VSO position and make the requisite official moves in the future to officially fill the position.

Weed Department

Cody Clyde spoke to the commission about BLM weed spraying. Henbane, scotch thistle and other noxious weeds are reported to be quite high on BLM land. A helicopter will be used from the BLM to tackle the issue.

Chairman Lewis asked whether a plan could be formulated to begin to deal with this problem earlier in future years. Clyde reported that the BLM will not allow all drone spraying, because some models of drones are partially manufactured in China, which makes them illegal to use. This applies only to a specific

brand, which potentially sends telemetry to China. Chairman Lewis asked Clyde to study out the best use of money moving forward for the purchase of drones that would avoid this problem.

Clyde raised the issue of whether he could contract an hourly worker to take care of weed issues while he is busy with the BLM spraying issue. The contractor would like to charge $75 an hour, while the current county rate is $65 per hour. The idea of raising the county rate to match was raised. The possibility of spending an extra $10 per hour using contingency funding to pay a contractor was discussed. The overall benefit of having the weeds eliminated was one of the background issues.

A motion to approve Clyde to use a contract weed sprayer and make up the difference of $10/hour for the contract, limited to a total of 50 hours was made and approved. Putting a policy in place for next year was considered an important step moving forward on the issue.

Sheriff

The sheriff spoke to the commission about an ongoing grant for the 911 system. $62,533 is the value of the grant, the application for which must be signed off on by the county. The grant application was approved. Specifically, the grant is the Idaho Public Safety Communications Commission Dedicated Enhancement Emergency Communications Grant 2024.

The sheriff reported that 3,723 911 calls have been made through the system so far this year.

The sheriff also raised the issue of 911 mapping in the county. 5 years ago the new 911 system was upgraded to “enhanced, Phase 1.” At present, the county has moved to “enhanced phase 2.” The county hired Bonneville Communications for mapping the 911 system. This attaches addresses directly to the 911 system. The sheriff mentioned that there is currently an issue with new residential addresses not in every case being migrated from the county offices to Bonneville Communication, resulting in a number of gaps in the mapping coverage.

Chairman Lewis suggested that the sheriff

call a meeting with all the people involved— the assessor, building inspector, etc.—to clarify the process and the need for the information. The issue of addresses associated with parcels, as opposed to completed homes, was raised. The sheriff reported seeing a lot of “trailers popping up” in the county, which fall into a nebukous area for the purposes of mapping.

TJ spoke to the commission along with the sheriff about the camera system in the elevator area of the courthouse. The new camera system would sit alongside the existing older system already in place. TJ represents a company that sells new camera systems that are cloud based. The new camera setup would involve a viewing station, outdoor camera, dome style cameras, video intercom, and TV. The company involved also sells a range of other products TJ thinks the county might be in need of over the next few years, such as panic alarms, access controls, etc. 4 cameras, monitor, intercom, stuff to make it work, plus licensing fees per camera on a yearly basis would come out of the building fund. Chairman Lewis felt that a oneyear commitment to the setup was advised. Some discounting in license fees is available for additional years of commitment. A motion to purchase a camera setup for $12,880 was approved.

Commercial Inspections

Chairman Lewis explained that the commission would like an agreement with Richard Bigelow for com-

mercial inspections of buildings in Oneida County. He has provided work for the county, but not yet been paid.

Cell phone reimbursement

Lon Colton has created a reimbursement document for the use of cell phones within departments. The documents would be required once yearly, in accordance with the fiscal year. Claims would be submitted to be paid at the end of each quarter during commission meetings. The county has been working on finalizing its cell phone use/reimbursement policies over the last year.

Rhonda Neal’s cell phone reimbursement form was approved.

Lumen Technologies disputed their personal property valuation with the state of Idaho and won their suit. Lumen is a utility that owns three different cell phone towers in the county. All taxing districts that collected money from Lumen at the original value will be required to reimburse the company. The county owes the company around $75 dollars by way of refund, with another $25 or so dollars owed by various taxing districts. The county opted to pay the full amount. The commissioners voted to approve the payment.

Propane bids

In the past, the county has bid for a company to service all the county tanks for a set annual amount. Valley Wide has suggested

that knowing ahead of time about contracts in order to lock in pricing would help lower costs. The bid was for $1.64/ gallon for a year-long contract. The commission approved a motion to contract the propane service from Valley Wide. A discussion of whether to continue with one year contracts or change to a different method of contracting for propane was had, but the issue was not moved further during the meeting.

Treasurer’s Audit Report

The Treasurer is reported to be doing well with regard to invested money. PILT money has been received.

Colton expressed the opinion that the funds for the county were in good shape. A motion to accept the Treasurer’s audit for the third quarter was approved.

Budget

Chairman Lewis discussed the county salaries in Oneida as compared to surrounding counties. He believes that the revenue from property taxes into the county is just sufficient to pay salaries, but that the coroner and the weed supervisor should be in consideration for adjustment to higher compensation figures.

Chairman Lewis discussed the possibility of providing a bonus to all employees, which would allow for closer pay equalization with surrounding counties without permanently raising base rates.

MHS Volleyball Camp and Tournament

The reality of being a smaller school is that most athletes split their interests between multiple sports. They may be a star basketball player but they also excel at football, softball, baseball or soccer. Having the opportunity to play multiple sports can be good as it allows players to cross train and keeps from burnout. But on the flip side, it can mean that they don’t spend as much time training on one particular sport and might not make improvements that they might have otherwise.

MHS coaches know that this is the game they will all play- juggling players and making the most of the time they have with their players. The game is certainly a challenge to play as they try to support their athletes out of season while trying to still keep them

in tune with their sport. The summer can especially be a juggle as all coaches are vying for the time and focus of their athletes.

For Coach Cami Tripp, she has learned that timing and quality is key to making up for any lost time or opportunities as she shares players with other sports. Over the last month she has pulled together camps, open gym nights and tournaments to help her team keep volleyball on the brain as they are moving through the last of summer and nearing the 2023 volleyball season. It may be too soon to tell, but as things move on it seems that this strategy is looking to pay off in a big way.

One of the highlights for the Lady Dragon volleyball team was their annual camp put on by the Gold Medal Squared

coaches, a program developed with smaller high school teams in mind to help them make even greater progress. Over the three day camp, the twenty-nine girls attending began with the basics and then moved on to cover every facet of the game, learning and growing with every aspect. Coach Tripp commented, “It's always important to go back to the foundational skills. If we start with a strong base we can build so much on that.”

The coaches of the Gold Medal Squared program are all impressive volleyball athletes themselves and bring with them tried and true principles, techniques, drills and motivation. While they had a schedule set to follow, they prioritized the needs of the Lady Dragons and their coaches. They dissected things

down to the individual steps to help the players have the most power, the greatest efficiency and best read of the ball.

Traditionally, the camp is only four days, giving ample time to spread out the learning and play. However, due to other conflicts, the camp was fit into three days which meant that the Lady Dragons were asked to step up in a whole different way. With the camp days beginning at 8 am and going until 6 pm, the athletes had to rely on a little extra endurance, not just physically, but also mentally and emotionally.

The long days were worth it, though, when looking at the progress and improvements they made as a team and as individuals. The sheer number of touches of the ball, the repetitions passing, serving, setting and

hitting has helped the team get back into the swing of things as they look to their fall season beginning in just a few days.

In addition to the camp, the team also had a chance to participate in the Pocatello Varsity Volleyball Tournament, a tournament heavy on the competition. The teams signing up to compete in the tournaments vary from 2A to 5A, bringing with them great experience and tough play. The Lady Dragons found themselves going up against teams from Snake River, Century High, Thunder Ridge, Pocatello and Twin Falls. The team went 7-3 throughout the tournament, earning them 3rd place in the Gold Bracket.

Coach Tripp shared, “We played well and competed closely with the bigger schools in the

tournament. Snake River was our achilles heel- the team we just couldn’t get passed. We beat teams that beat them, but there was something that kept us from playing our best against them. We definitely have some things to work on, but we’re excited to get going to start playing this season!”

As always, there is plenty to figure out this season, things that can only be sorted through in real time. It will be the grit, determination, focus and intensity that determine just how far this team will go this season. But with the right mixture of talent, desire and aggression, this team is sure to find success. These last few weeks have been crucial to get the team started with a strong beginning and in the right direction.
