NEWS IN BRIEF

Blizzard hits Idaho over weekend

Trump wins Iowa caucuses

Conforming to expectations that should be familiar to anyone who has been following primary polling for the last few months, former president Donald Trump easily won the first event of the nominating contest nearly two to one over the Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, who fought for second place throughout the night. As of press time, the numbers were being finalized, though DeSantis and Haley were nearly tied with around 20% of the votes cast. Vivek Ramaswamy was projected to finish fourth. The New Hampshire primary will take place next week, after which one or more of the candidates not named Trump may well reconsider their runs moving forward. Haley has recently been increasing her share of the polls in that state. Both Haley and DeSantis needed a big showing in Iowa to change the trajectory of the race, though an unexpectedly good showing by either candidate in NH might also shake up the race.

Miss America Named

Wind and snow created a winter mess across the valley over the weekend.

While the full effect of the winter storm that created chaos across the country over the weekend did not reach Oneida County, the wind and snowfall were significant enough that many businesses and services were closed as a result, and the Sheriff’s Office and ISP advised travelers to avoid the roadways. Nevertheless, a large number of slide-offs and accidents were reported up and down the I-15, with the sheriff’s dispatch listing numerous responses to slide-offs and disabled vehicles over the weekend. Whiteout conditions, combined with high winds, created a dangerous driving environment. In addition, the strong winds resulted in some structure damage throughout the county. Luckily, no serious injuries were reported as a result.

This week began with below zero temperatures, and while those should moderate over the upcoming week, more snow is included in the forecast

for the middle of the week and weekend. Temperatures on Monday and Tuesday of this week reached as low as -10 in some areas, with highs in the low teens. Snowfall is expected on Wednesday into Thursday, which should provide cloud cover to help moderate the extreme lows. However, there is also a chance of freezing rain mixed with snow for the weekend. The combination of the two is likely to create dangerous driving and travel conditions from the early morning hours of Saturday through the beginning of next week.

The rare Blizzard warning that was put into place last week has been decreased to a Winter Weather Advisory for Oneida county, though a Wind Chill Warning was still in effect at as of press time in the surrounding areas of Bannock, Caribou, Bear Lake, Teton, and Power counties. The warning indicates that potential threats from extreme cold

are significant, and residents should take precautions to mitigate their personal exposure. The National Weather Service advises people to dress warmly in layers, limit time spent outside as much as possible, watch for warning signs of frostbite and early hypothermia, and prepare for any unexpected power loss. While unlikely, grid networks can sometimes temporarily fail as a result of severe weather and demand, so blankets, extra clothing, light sources such as candles and flashlights, generators, and alternative heat sources are suggested.

In extreme cold, it is also recommended to leave a trickle of water running through any pipes that are exposed directly to outdoor conditions. The running water helps prevent pipes becoming frozen and bursting, which can be both expensive and difficult to have BLIZZARD HITS IDAHO On Page 3

“Beauty and the Beast” production seeks donations; “Secret Garden” auditions to be held It’s a busy season in local theater, as two productions are gearing up for performances in the coming weeks.

“Beauty and the Beast”

The Oxford Peak Arts Council production of “Beauty and the Beast” is in its early stages, with the play scheduled to be staged from February 29 through March 11. While the primary funding for the play has already been secured, Oxford Peak is seeking to defray some of the additional expenses through a number of unique opportunities for the public to become involved with the play as sponsors.

The play’s primary funding was secured through grants from the BistBEAUTY AND THE BEAST On Page 3

(CNN) Madison Marsh was named Miss America 2024 at the annual pageant in Orlando on Sunday night. Madison is a 22-year-old second lieutenant in the US Air Force and master’s student at the Harvard Kennedy School’s public policy program Marsh, from Colorado. She is the first active-duty Air Force officer ever to receive the national title. Ellie Breaux of Texas placed as first-runner-up. Fifty-one contestants participated in the event, representing all 50 US states, as well as the District of Columbia. Raegan Yamauchi of Soda Springs represented the state of Idaho at the competition.

While she finished outside the final 11 spots, she is potentially the first contestant to perform a basketball routine in the contest’s history, and represented the state well.

Avalanche in Shoshone claims the life of skier Among the many accidents and injuries reported during the blizzard conditions that descended on Idaho last week was the death of skier Corey Zalewski in the backcountry of Shoshone County. Two other skiers were caught in the avalanche on Thursday, but were able to contact emergency services for extraction through a text-enabled GPS device. They were retrieved and in good condition.

Officials warn skiers and others participating in outdoor recreation to be mindful of weather events and heed warnings, especially when venturing into the backcountry.

CITY COUNCIL 1/10 The Malad City Council met for its first regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, January 10. Unless a scheduling conflict arises, council meetings for the city are held on the second Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. during the year.

Swearing In

As the first official act of the new year, the mayor and city council were officially sworn in by the city clerk, Susan Wittman. The appointed (non-elected) positions were also sworn in, including Terrill Schwartz as Treasurer, Susan Wittman as Clerk, and Brett Evanson as the city’s attorney.

Welcome Brett Evanson

Brett Evanson, who was appointed as city attorney to replace Dustin Smith, was welcomed to the council and introduced to the other members.

Jon Abrams

School District 351 Superintendent Jon Abrams spoke to the council about the district’s plans regarding the baseball/softball complex south of the high school. The area has been undergoing preparation for construction while awaiting authorization to begin from Planning and Zoning. The complex was announced as part of the school equalization bond which passed in the city last spring. Because the funds left over from meeting the new school building construction were not sufficient in the same cycle to support an auditorium, the district decided to use them toward the completion of a new baseball and softball complex.

Abrams stated that he found this to be an exciting time to be involved with the school district, especially in light of the recent bond. Abrams stated that the number of students in the district included over 1,000 local students, as well as over 7,800 served by IHLA (the Idaho Home Learning Academy, headquartered in Malad). He had recently visited with State Senator Kelly Anthon, who expressed optimism about the school district moving forward.

Abrams updated the city on plans for the district. The new elementary school is anticipating being opened in November. During the week scheduled for the move, school will not be in session. Resources are available to furnish the new building with new furniture and resources. Funding for the completion of the school is locked in, and the overall cost has been defrayed by the passage of a recent house bill, leaving the district with an even more comfortable margin.

The old auditorium will be removed along with the old school building, leading to the need for a replacement.

Abrams stated that he is aware of the importance of the auditorium to the community, and plans to construct a new one have been set for property behind the middle school.

A fieldhouse with artificial turf will follow in the same area, upon passage

Councilmembers Lance Tripp and Jaime Olsen, as well as Mayor Joan Hawkins, being sworn in for 2024

of another bond. Like the last one, this bond will fall under equalization, meaning it will not affect property taxes for residents.

The softball/baseball complex will include two fields. The groundwork has been completed to level the field.

In spring, when the weather permits, construction will fully begin. The complex will include an announcer’s booth, walkway, dugouts, and other features. The area surrounding the fields will be left as ag for now, to prevent wind/dust from affecting the fields. When the fields are completed, Abrams stated that the fields will be available for use by those who would like to use them, including the city.

Terrill Schwartz asked about whether the fieldhouse will be open for winter activities. Abrams said that the building will be flexible enough to accommodate a number of different inside sports. Abrams explained that the auditorium and field house would not be housed in the same building, partly as a result of feedback from Marsh Valley residents on their joint facility.

Abrams noted that he and the school board strongly believe in sharing facilities as much as possible. The ball fields behind the current elementary school should not be affected very much by the construction of the new school.

“It’s a good time to be in Malad!”

Abrams stated.

Camille Miller, Forsgren

The city’s contract with Forsgren, who is overseeing a number of city projects including the Bannock street project, was signed by the city. The contract covers engineering and design for grant projects at 15% of the grant total. For the Bannock project, the cost to the city will be a bit under $300,000 on the grant amount of over 2 million to Forsgren. A matching amount for the grant itself will be over $400,000 to the city, with reimbursement after completion. A motion to authorize the mayor to execute the contract was approved, following a review by City Attorney Evanson.

Appointed officials Terrill Schwartz, Attorney Brett Evanson, and Clerk Susan Wittman were also officially sworn in.

Braxton Davis

Braxton Davis spoke to the council on behalf of the Cedar Ridge Home Owners Association. A few concerns have been raised by residents of the development. Snow removal was one.

The garbage collection sites in the development have been blocked by snow intermittently, and the HOA requested that snow removal be performed by the city on that access area. The city is responsible for the asphalt areas of the development, according to Davis.

City Superintendent Tyler Webster noted that the roads in the development were cleared to allow access for emergency vehicles, but that other roads in developments were typically taken care of by Home Owners Associations. The lack of a turn around on the access road was cited as a reason the road was not currently plowed.

Code Enforcement officer John Christopherson noted that there was a lot of debris outside of the garbage bins that needed to be cleaned up, as the garbage trucks do not stop to pick it up off the ground. Davis stated that a camera had been set up by the HOA to attempt to find out who has been leaving material at the site. Councilman Lance Tripp suggested that plowing with an ATV might be easier. Webster suggested that it was a possibility.

As the area becomes more developed, the problem should be mitigated, but in the meantime the city agreed to attempt plowing the road to the garbage collection site.

A street sign for “Cedar Lane” was also requested, though it was noted that the sign would be the responsibility of the developer or Home Owners Association. Webster stated that he would take care of it.

Dave Colton

Dave Colton, representing the Senior Citizens Council, spoke to the council about funds for the Senior Citizens Center. Colton informed the council about the number of meals provided in-house in 2023 (4,933), as well as the number of meals delivered (2,640). The SSC is compensated by state funds, donations, and SICOG. As a result of the increasing cost of food, Colton stated that the costs to provide the meals fully outstrip the compensation from all sources. The Senior Center provides a number of services beyond meals for Oneida County’s senior population, including classes, wellness checks, space for the quilters club, rental space, and other things. $10,000 was budgeted for the Senior Citizens Center for this year, and Colton was requesting an additional $5,000. Funds from the state were cut last year (though they were partially restored this year). The building needs new wiring for its electrical load, repairs to refrigeration and other facilities issues, which are covered by facilities grants. The center reported that they are also in need of a new head cook.

A motion to provide the requested $5,000 to the senior citizen center was approved.

Robert Bronson

Robert Bronson requested a variance to allow for his daughter to inhabit a trailer on his property while she is providing care. Code Enforcement Officer John Christopherson expressed the concern that allowing variances to ordinances creates a situation where enforcement is compromised over the long term. The importance of

C Y

M K

enforcing ordinances on the books was the primary point of conversation. As a council, the members decided that the start of the new year was the right time to commit to enforcing the city’s codes. Variances, of course, are always available for application, though there must be a compelling reason for their approval. Attorney Evanson suggested that the council start with the principle of the ordinance’s original purpose. If a variance does not directly work against the desired outcome of the ordinance, or the practical motivation for its creation, then the variance process is designed to account for such special circumstances.

A more specific discussion about ordinances related to restrictions on habitation in temporary dwellings was had. The council felt that one of the desired outcomes of the ordinance was the preservation of the aesthetics of the city. As the trailer is not easily visible to neighbors, or creating any unsightly distraction, it was not considered to be in direct violation of the desired outcome. Health and safety were also considered as relevant issues, as well as the anticipated length of the need for the variance. It was proposed by Councilman Tripp to extend a three month variance to the Bronsons in order to accommodate the temporary situation. At the end of that time, any further extension would require the applicants to come before the city council.

Super Trees

Daniel Allen spoke to the council on behalf of “Super Trees”. The organization provides high quality trees to cities and helps provide information and assistance for properly growing them. Allen explained that trees that are left in pots for too long experience root growth that begins to “circle” and then “girdle” the tree, which blocks its nutrient exchange. “Super Trees” was begun with the mission of exploring how to improve tree root growth. Air Pots were developed as a result. The company ships trees to cities to be planted in the air pots. Root systems are typically four times as wide as they are deep. The mayor explained that they may need the services offered by Super Trees in the fulfillment of a tree planting grant.

Mayor’s Youth Council

The mayor updated the council on recent activities by the Mayor’s Youth Council. The MYC has expressed a desire to attend the AIC (Association of Idaho Counties) Convention in June. Two representatives attended the event last year. Due to the timing, the event presented difficulties with scheduling. An alternative convention was located at Utah State University. The convention is designed to teach leadership skills, and may be more convenient for students, as it takes place in March. There are eleven members of the MYC. The AIC Convention is held with other Idaho youth leadership groups in Boise. The AIC convention was considered by the council to be more in line with the MYC’s stated mission as an adjunct to the city council. Brett Evanson mentioned that he had found youth trips to the capital to be formative and important. The council agreed. The mayor stated that she would convey the council’s recommendation to the Youth Council.

PZ

Planning and Zoning welcomed Jodi Farr to the board, and is still in need of one more member. Several names have been put forward.

Business Licenses

A business license for a business which will include retail sales of portable buildings and trailers was presented to the council and approved.

The business is Hardy Building and Equipment on 100 S Main.

Superintendent

Tyler Webster reported that the light poles downtown in need of repair as a result of vehicles running into them were not able to be welded. Webster updated the council on a number of other projects underway throughout the city.

OBITUARIES

The Idaho Enterprise

Clyde Leland Williams 1935-2024

Clyde Leland Williams graduated this world on January 9, 2024. Beloved by so many, his life was filled with love, service, hard work, kindness, and faith.

On April 3, 1935, in Malad, Idaho, Leland and Zilpha (White) Williams, welcomed their first baby boy.

He joined sisters, Nadine, Neva, and Selma. Over the next 14 years, brothers, Brent, Carl, and Larry completed the family. Time spent on the family ranch in Deep Creek planted a love of the land and animals and the desire to care for both.

A Dragon all the way, he attended Malad Elementary, Junior High, and High School. He participated in several clubs, played basketball and football, and began an interest in photography. He was a member of the Malad Valley Posse riding his cutting horse.

He continued his education at Ricks College and earned a spot as tackle on their football team. While at Ricks he met the love of his life, Louise Pearson, whom he married on May 5, 1955, in the Idaho Falls Temple. They filled the next 68 years with Saturday night dates, dancing, hunting trips, and supporting one another.

In 1958 Clyde graduated and they moved back to Malad where they raised their family and worked the ranch. They raised nine children, Daralis, Sandra (Sam), Carol, Tim, Thomas, Terry, Kay, Pam, and Ted, who each have special memories of their dad. He had a special place in his heart for his grandchildren and loved to make them smile.

For thirty years he worked for the United States Forest Service, enjoying maintaining and preserving the land. Many fond memories and great friends were made while there.

Clyde’s love for his horses and dogs showed in their trust in and loyalty to him. He could light a backfire while riding Pearlie and count on Midge to silently alert him of nearby prey while on a hunt. He and Louise enjoyed numerous trail rides with co-

Clyde LeLand Williams

workers and friends. While on these trips, they perfected the chicken recipe that is now served at every family reunion.

A life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he served in many capacities including Ward Missionary and Sunday School Superintendent. Not surprisingly, their first calling as a married couple in Pocatello was Ward Dance Instructors.

He is survived by his wife, Louise; children Daralis (Jim) Robinson, Sandra (Sam) King, Carol Rabuck, Tim (Keren) Williams, Thomas (Julie) Williams, Terry (Amy) Williams, Kay Haney, Pam (Leon) Duce, and Ted (Tami) Williams; 52 grandchildren; 53 great-grandchildren; 3 great-great-grandchildren; and brother and his wife, Carl (Jeanne) Williams and sister-in-law, Joan Williams.

He was preceded in death by his parents; siblings Nadine (Everett) Conrad, Neva (Milt) Christensen, Selma (Earl) Yearsley, Brent and Larry Williams; sons-in-law, Bert King and Ronald Rabuck; granddaughter Janet Robinson; and great-grandson, Kooper Perry.

Funeral services were held Tuesday, January 16th, followed by burial at the Malad Cemetery.

Elaine Mary Albretsen March 19, 1933 – January 12, 2024

Elaine Mary Albretsen, 90, passed away on Friday, January 12, 2024. Elaine was born on March 19, 1933, in West Hartlepool, County Durham, England, the second and youngest child of John and Ethel Webster Haley.

Elaine was just six years old when World War II broke out and twelve years old when it ended. The family was forced to move from the coast in West Hartlepool inland to Dewsbury, Yorkshire because of the air attacks and bombings.

She continued in school until she was 14 years old and then went to work, first at a grocery store and then the woolen mill where she worked until she was 20.

Elaine immigrated to America with her parents, sailing on the last voyage of the "Queen Mary" on September 16,1953. They arrived in New York City and traveled by bus to Salt Lake City, Utah. Over the years, Elaine worked several jobs including the Sweets Candy Factory, LDS Hospital as a nurse’s aide in the children’s ward, and the University of Utah.

She met her husband, LaVoy Albretsen, at the Rainbow Randevu stag dance in Salt Lake City, marrying a year later on June 18, 1955. They lived in Salt Lake where two daughters were born. They moved to Malad, Idaho in October 1957. LaVoy worked at the Idaho Enterprise until 1961 then they moved back to Salt Lake City where their two sons were born.

Elaine loved to travel and in the late 1960’s was able to return to England for the first time since coming to America. The family usually traveled on a yearly vacation; Disney Parks were some of her favorite destinations.

In 1976, they went into business with LaVoy’s sister and brother-inlaw and bought a hotel in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. They ran the Home C Y

Elaine Mary Albretsen

Hotel until 1994 when they retired and moved back to Malad. LaVoy passed away in 2005.

Since LaVoy’s passing, their youngest son, Carl, made sure Elaine was able to continue traveling. Their adventures included annual trips to Las Vegas where Elaine enjoyed playing the slot machines, San Francisco’s Alcatraz, England, and Boston. Carl was her main caregiver during the last years of her life.

She is survived by her four children, Sherrie (J.D.) Thomas, Mylene (Fred) Jones, Shaun (Roxanne) Albretsen and Carl Albretsen, eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, LaVoy, and sister Beryl Palmer.

A viewing will be held Friday, January 19th, from 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. at the Horsley Funeral Home, 132 West 300 North, Malad. Funeral services will follow the viewing at noon, also at the Horsley Funeral Home. Interment at the Malad Cemetery.

repaired in the middle of winter. At temperatures below 20 degrees, pipes which are not insulated against the cold can become frozen within as little as twelve hours.

State officials also remind residents to make sure that their pets and other animals are kept warm and safe in these conditions. Indoor pets can still be affected by lower temperatures inside, and need suitable bedding and sources of warmth. Pet owners are warned against leaving any pets outside without an enclosed and warmed structure to find shelter in, regardless of their species or breed. People are also encouraged to be aware that cats can often find shelter in cars, where residual engine warmth can create an attractive place for them to rest in the wheel well or engine area. Allowing the car to warm up can provide enough warning for the animal to move, though lifting the hood to check the engine for any unintentional hitchhikers is also recommended.

Most modern cars will fully lubricate the engine within a few minutes of running, and will warm up fastest when driving. It is always a good idea to check oil, wiper fluid, and anti-freeze levels every few days during extreme cold in order to ensure continued smooth operation. Travelers are also advised to keep an emergency kit in the vehicle in case of any accident or injury. Blankets, food, water, and a snow shovel can also be critical in the event of a stranding. Portable phone chargers

(a USB device that generally holds two full phone charges) can be a life saver in situations where a car charger is not a good option. Cat litter is often used to create traction on snow or ice for stranded vehicles, though its benefits are temporary as the material quickly becomes waterlogged. Commercial sandbox sand is recommended by experts as a better solution. There are also retail products made from crushed volcanic rock that are also reported to be more effective than litter.

Tires are another important aspect of winter driving safety. While chains are most effective in severe snow and ice conditions, studded tires are significantly better than standard all-season radials. All tires should be checked for proper inflation, as rapid changes in temperature can cause fluctuations in inflation levels. Road conditions can be checked at 511.idaho.gov before trips for the latest conditions and any accompanying advisories or warnings.

Motorists are also advised to provide clearance and right of way for snow plow vehicles. Last year in Idaho, seventeen vehicles were reported to have run into snow plows as a result of overly aggressive driving in dangerous conditions. In whiteout conditions, use hazard lights to provide more visibility to other drivers on the road, exercise caution, and if possible follow a snowplow or other large vehicle at a low speed and safe distance.

Any motorist facing an emergency during the weather can contact the sheriff’s office at 208-766-221, or through the 911 system in the case of immediate danger.

“Beauty and the Beast” production seeks donations; “Secret Garden” auditions to be held continued from page 1

line Foundation and Rocky Mountain Power, as well as materials and backing from Hess Lumber. Additional funds will be used primarily for costuming and other expenses that arise during the pre-production period.

The first option for those interested in donating to the cause is primarily geared toward businesses and organizations, who will have an opportunity to add their advertisement to the pre-production slideshow at a cost of $150 for three seconds, or $300 for six seconds. Space in the slideshow is not limited to businesses, however, and anyone interested can contact OPAC about running their message.

The slideshow will run before each performance during the show’s run.

The second option is also open to businesses, but any individual or group is invited to participate in sponsoring a costume for the show.

Sponsors will be credited for their support by the production, and can choose either a lead costume ($150), a supporting cast costume ($75), or an object featured in the Enchanted Castle ($25).

Due to the nature of the play, “Beauty and the Beast” will require a number of complex costumes for characters such as Belle, the Beast, Cogsworth, Lumiere, Mrs. Potts, and many others.

“Beauty and the Beast” is an all High School production. A production of “Aladdin, Jr.” is scheduled for May, and will be primarily a Middle School production.

Last spring’s “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” was a great production all the way around, with amazing sets, costumes, music, and acting from dozens of local actors, who brought the beloved classic to life. “Beauty and the Beast” promises an equally high-quality, professional experience for theater-goers, Disney fans, and anyone who enjoys witnessing the work of talented young people in the valley.

Those interested in supporting the Oxford Peak Arts Council and local aspiring young actors can call (208) 254-2009 or email Opactix@gmail. com to donate or receive more information on helping with the upcoming

events. OPAC accepts cash, check, and Venmo donations. A Venmo QR Code is included in the ad in today’s paper.

“The Secret Garden”

The Missoula Children’s Theatre will be returning to Malad for the third year with a performance of the classic children’s book “The Secret Garden” on January 27. This is the third year that the MCT has visited Malad for its education-based elementary production. Last year, “The Emperor’s New Clothes” involved over 50 students from Malad Elementary School. The previous year, “Alice in Wonderland” was produced. The MES PTO and Hess Pumice are the local sponsors of the event, with the MCT itself being funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.

The MCT is an arts outreach program that seeks to introduce students to the world of drama and theatrical production, but also to instill values such as confidence, courage, and teamwork as the rehearsal and pre-production process unfolds.

The play was adapted for the stage from Frances Hodgson Burnett’s timeless book by Michael McGill, who adds lyrics and music to the familiar story of a spoiled young girl’s journey from India to her uncle’s home in England following the death of her parents. While initially resistant to the change, Mary Lennox (Mistress Mary Quite Contrary) meets a colorful assortment of characters who bring her to happier and more positive place by the end of the adventure.

The touring directors for the play are Hannah Sullivan and Benjamin Gessleman, who will be overseeing the production, as well as providing a series of workshops and classes at the elementary school.

Auditions for the play will take place on Monday, January 22 from 3:45 to 5:45 for students who preregistered by January 10. The performance itself will be held on January 27 at 3:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. at the elementary school auditorium. Given the construction schedule for the new school building, this will be one of the last large productions to be held on the auditorium stage.

FAIR BOARD | JAN. 4

The Oneida County Fair Board met for their first regular meeting of the year on January 4. The Oneida County Fair itself is scheduled for the 12th -17th of August, with races beginning two weekends (and possibly three this year) beforehand. but the board has a lot of preparation to undertake for the busy weeks during the summer.

Two new members of the Fair Board were introduced replacing Patrick Werk and Kacey Keller. Shanae Blaisdell and Hugo Ramos have been appointed to serve on the board. Rotations and terms will be discussed during subsequent meetings.

Kristi Christopherson spoke to the Fair board about upcoming goat shows. In order to accommodate the number of goats that are expected at the show, more pens will be necessary. In 2023, there were 135 goats in Tremonton, and Oneida may be approaching those numbers in the next few years owing to an increase in participation in goat shows among county residents. Kristi had 95 goats, using 84 pens last year, including the pig pens. She would love to keep the show in town in order to keep it local, which also lowers the cost of the event. Goats can be put into the sheep pens at 3 or 4 per, though the bucks and babies require separate spaces. “It’s pretty amazing how much people will do for their goats,” Christopherson said.

Chairman Ken Moss, Jr. explained that there is not a lot of space for permanent pens, but that temporary pens would be possible. “We do pretty good prizes for them—we do belt buckles for best in show,” Christopherson stated. Moss suggested that he would need to check how many portable pens might be available, and what needs the extension office had for them. The show is scheduled for June 21 and 22, as well as another show in September.

New members Shanae Blaisdell and Hugo Ramos joined the Fair board for 2024.

Addition to Steer Barn

Moss raised the issue of the steer barn, which needs additions in order to provide more room for steer during the year’s events. The capital funds available are not enough to pay for additions of any large amount. It was reported by members that though sheep numbers were up last year, steer numbers were down. Moss suggested that if the board waited too long to decide what to do, they would be in a position of not having enough space sooner rather than later. The potential to combine several budget years together for a request was raised, as were separate plans for a potential indoor arena. Lacey Clark asked whether the board felt like a subcommittee should be established for the future arena project. Todd Thomas reminded the board about previous plans to consult with regional companies about potential donations.

Clark noted that she “really wanted to see it happen” and would be willing to pursue the project however possible. Moss asked for numbers from the extension office about the predicted number of animals in the future.

The board will submit names for an indoor arena committee at the next meaning.

SHERIFF'S DISPATCH

Following are recent calls received by dispatchers at the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office. During the week of 12/31/2023 to 1/13/2024, the Sheriff’s Office investigated 76 new cases. During this time, the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office dispatchers received and an unknown number of total calls. This report includes only new investigations and does not include regular investigations, civil services, and the other responsibilities of the Sheriff’s Office.

Vendors

Vendor pricing was discussed.

Todd Thomas stated that booth spots should be given out for a set cash bid up front, rather than a percentage of sales arrangement. It was agreed that last year’s arrangement had the clear positive that the Board was in a position to provide a fund-raising opportunity to groups from the high school.

Separating bids for races and fair week for vendors was agreed to.

It was also agreed to start advertising for outside vendors earlier in the season. A bid minimum to cover the cost of propane and maintenance was also agreed to. A motion to set a minimum bid passed.

Shanae will take over Kacey’s role as the vendor supervisor. Kacey and Donna Potter have previously held the position, and were reportedly willing to assist with any issues Blaisdell encountered in learning the ropes.

Fair Entertainment

The entertainment aspect of the Fair is something that needs to be set up early in order to allow for a seamless process. Other options for a motorized vehicle event were discussed.

Live a Little, the company that has provided the MotoCross event, was discussed in terms of what other products they might have on offer, as the board questioned whether the specific entertainment provided by them was still a popular addition to the fair.

Monster trucks, horse pulls, truck pulls, and other options were considered. It was agreed that the hypnotist was a popular attraction and they would like to bring it back. Last year, it was one of the most well-attended events. The fireworks were also mentioned to have been very popular.

Ideas for alternatives to Scales and Tails included a butterfly show and a few other ideas. Scales and Tails has been a popular attraction over the past few years, but the board felt it was worthwhile to at least consider aleterntives.

Hotel rooms were also discussed.

Better tracking of how many hotel rooms were used was requested.

Three weekends were scheduled for races this year. The races are scheduled for the last weekend in July and the first two weekends in August.For the last two years, one of the race days has been canceled due to rain. The three dates should allow for some breathing room in case of a similar situation.

The issue of whether to book a concert or not was raised. The concerts have not been especially well-attended in recent years, though those who have attended have enjoyed them.

Sponsorships

Hansens in Brigham city has expressed interest in sponsoring the Fair this year, as have a few other entities.

Member Assignments

Hugo Ramos will be working with Eric Eliason, while ShaNae will work on vendors. The other members of the board will maintain their assignments from last year.

New Vice Chair

The role of vice chairman was open. John Hardy was elected to the position.

Stock Contractor Bids

Stock contractor bids were reviewed. Hogans bid at 13K, Seven C Buckers bid at 13K, and Diamond H bid at 14K. Diamond H, which has provided stock, an announcer, timer, judges, and other elements was awarded the bid, as those additional services were seen as more than offsetting the money represented by the slightly higher bid.

Groundskeeper

A groundskeeper is needed for the season beginning in the spring, so the board plans to advertise for the position soon.

Lacey Clark stated that she would like to schedule the Queen Contest for the 14th and 15th of June.

New bill would require Idaho school boards to develop review policies for library materials Mia Madonado, Idaho Capital Sun One week into the Idaho Legislative session, and Idaho Republicans have brought forth a second piece of legislation concerning the limitation of library materials.

On Friday morning, the Idaho Legislature’s Senate State Affairs Committee introduced legislation to add a new section to Idaho Code 33512 that requires Idaho school boards to develop policies to select, review and reconsider library materials.

Coined the “School Library Mate-

rial Care Act” by its sponsors, Senate Bill 1221 would also require school boards establish a “library materials review committee,” or a group of parents, educators and administrators who review requests for reconsideration of school library items.

Sen. Geoff Schroeder, R-Mountain Home, presented the legislation to “address the controversy” surrounding library materials in Idaho schools.

The proposed legislation has already garnered support from 11 cosponsors in the Idaho House of Representatives.

According to the legislation, library materials review committees in Idaho schools would have 45 days to discuss a community member’s request to remove a material from its shelves.

If a library does not comply with the committee’s decision to remove a library material, then it would have to close until doing so.

Schroeder, who has experience teaching at Mountain Home High School, said the goal is to avoid “the availability of pornography” without denying access to educational materials.

Teachers and Coaches through the years Submitted by former Malad resident J Ward

We were blessed in Malad to have incredible teachers at all levels.

Without Mr. Castleton, I would never have had opportunities to perform in top music performances groups at BYU. Without Mrs. Deon Hanson and Mrs. Zundel, I would not have had encouragement to write and to be creative.

Without Mrs. Helen Servoss, I would never had an introduction to the language and culture of German speaking countries.

Mr. Joe Davis not only taught me American History and Government, but he encouraged all of us to seek educational opportunities.

I don’t see myself as a superstar athlete, but sports memories were important. Events taught us to be competitive, never to “give up,” but more importantly, we learned how to play as a team, and we discovered how “to have each other’s backs.”

In the fall of 1969, Oneida County School District hired a standout former Weber State defensive player.

He brought a “winning attitude.”

But there was more. He and his assis-

tant refused to tolerate team members targeting each other during practice.

Our two coaches also cared about the health of individual players.

Before one particular upcoming major game, coaches did more conditioning than usual. We began running offensive plays, but the offense kept making mistakes, so repeating offensive sets continued.

My teammates and I were tired. We had a starting senior fullback and linebacker, who looked at us. He implied he had a solution.

After taking a number of quick deep breaths and then not “taking in” any air, he fell to the turf. He seemed to have hyperventilated.

Our head coach rushed to the fullback’s side, knelt down and removed the player’s helmet.

The teammate, whom we assumed fainted, held his eyes shut, but a smile slowly spread across his face. Disgusted, coach sent him to the showers.

The rest of us ran a few more plays before we began a series of final wind sprints. Then coach sent us to the showers.

During an important home game, that same aforementioned player, who on defense made hard hits, began wandering on the field after making a fan-

tastic tackle. In those days, you made plays by “leading with your helmet.”

Referees stopped the game. Our teammate, who had head trauma, didn’t know where he was, didn’t know his name. Coach “sat him out.”

Not having him on offense and defense was a hardship, but our coach valued a player’s safety. A concussion was not something to take lightly.

In our final game at Aberdeen, without going into minute detail, I fell unconscious after an opposing player’s dirty play.

“There needs to be a fair way to evaluate whether or not that material is useful in the classroom or isn’t,” he said. “And this allows the people in that local community to make the decision about whether these materials are appropriate or not.”

Friday’s legislation comes two days after Republicans in the House State Affairs Committee introduced a new bill to allow community members to sue libraries if they provide “harmful materials” to minors.

I tried to return to the offensive huddle, but my coach helped me get to the sideline. I had a concussion, and again, the health of players was most important.

Teachers and coaches in Oneida School District changed my life. They changed the lives of many classmates.

Although I am not familiar with current staff in Oneida School District, I am confident that individuals in education still make a powerful difference.

“Are you worried that ‘What Happens in the Valley Stays in the Valley’?

Well fear no more!

Grandparents Only Not recommended for parents or kids

By Gramma Dot I like a good movie. That being said I haven’t been to a movie I really remember and enjoyed in a very long time. “Run Away Bride” was way back in 1999 for heaven’s sake. And finding a movie Brent and I both agree on is near to impossible. He isn’t much for the romcom genre and I’m not big on spy-shoot-outs or Westerns. I did like the “Da Vinci Code,” and the “Top Gun” movies were pretty good. But finally, the stars aligned this last month and I have seen two movies that made me think and left me feeling good about life.

“Boys in the Boat” takes you back to the 1930s. A tough time in lots of ways.

Joe Rantz is the main character who has had to fend for himself since he was 14 and along with the other eight members of the crew, earns his spot on the U. S. 1936 Berlin Olympic rowing team. They truly were amateurs who took Hitler and the world by storm.

It’s a good-guys-win movie that will

leave you wondering if our lives are a little too cushy. We took the husbands or maybe they took us. Anyway, they liked it as much as we did.

We left the boys home for “The Color Purple.” It is a musical about black women in the early to mid-1900s who support, learn and grow together. “Epic, gutsy and feel-good” are the words one critic used. Friend, Rebecca, thinks the fourth descriptor “family” should be added. Four of us went. Four of us cried. Four of us would see it again. If you have sisters or friends you love you should all go see it together.

So, Grandparents, if the Marvel Superhero genre has grown a little old and you’re looking for a good way to spend a couple of hours, go to the movies. “Boys in the Boat” is the ticket if you’re a Grandma or a Grandpa. If it is a girls’ night out “The Color Purple” fits the bill. Both illustrate the Good Life isn’t always good, but you can get there with heart, hard work and perseverance.

That run was broken on January 8, 2019, when Avery Boyd Eliason became the first baby born in Oneida County for the new year. The little boy made his grand arrival at 4:34 p.m. weighing in a 7 pounds 5 ounces and 19 inches long. He has a fair complexion, with a little light hair – not a lot, his daddy says!

On January 14, 2019, at a Swearing-In Ceremony held in the Courtroom of the Oneida County Courthouse, Commissioner for District 1 Bill Lewis and Commissioner for District 3 Bob Christophersen were sworn into office by Oneida County Clerk and Recorder Lon Colton. Each commissioner repeated the oath after Colton, stating their support of the constitution of the United States and the constitution and laws of the State of Idaho, and that they would faithfully discharge all the duties of their office to the best of their ability.

The Holbrook/Stone Fire Department recently elected new officers.

Serving for the past two years have been Fire Chief Brayden Eliason and Secretary/Treasurer Clayton Eliason.

COUNTY COMMISSION

Introduction of Lyle Fuller

dump currently is, with regard to IDAWY. A citizen had inquired about the possibility of receiving a grazing permit for the area. IDAWY responded that they were managing the site of the former landfill, which was a construction and demolition site. The dump is currently in the middle of its closure process. During the process, the site is restricted from allowing grazing on the area by the DEQ.

Lyle Fuller of Preston, representing the law firm of Fuller and Fuller, was introduced to the commission. Ethan Rawlings, also a member of the firm, will be handling the prosecutor’s duties for the county. Rawlings had also worked with Vic Pearson in the capacity of the prosecutor’s office. Pearson served as the temporary attorney for the county until the end of December.

Fuller has had a lot of experience with land and water law, which has recently been the county’s most important concern on the civil law side. Members of the county offices introduced themselves to Fuller, and explained their roles on the commission.

ARPA Funds Balance— Elevator Project

Chairman

Commission Ken Eliason nominated Bill Lewis to remain as the commission chair for the year. The motion was seconded by Brian Jeppsen and approved.

Assignments

The commissioners revisited their assignments for the year, and decided to keep the same assignments going into 2024.

Name Change for Hylio Drone

A recently signed agreement with Hylio drones was signed without the full name of the weed department (Noxious Weed Control). A motion to add the full name and sign the document passed.

Alfalfa Study

Sawyer Fonnesbeck, Extension Educator for the county, spoke to the commission about an ongoing project involving county funds. County funds were used to purchase several bales of hay in the furtherance of a study of hay storage. Hay is an important agricultural commodity in Idaho, and Oneida County specifically. Oneida ranks in the top half of Idaho counties for hay production, bringing in over $10 million in sales in 2017, according to Fonnesbeck.

Testing is routinely performed on hay to determine its quality as a nutrition and food source. Inspired by a question from a presentation, Fonnesbeck decided to further study how long the tested values from hay will remain accurate. Data on the longevity of stored hay under different conditions has not been conducted in a systematic way for Idaho. The best equivalent study was conducted in Kentucky, which has a very different climate. Fonnesbeck will conduct studies on uncovered straw hay bales, tarp-covered straw hay bales, and hay stored within a hay barn/shed. Permission was granted to store hay bales on the Fairgrounds property, north of the racetrack. Fonnesbeck will be testing the hay every four months for two years to see how the moisture and nutritional values change over time.

Eventually, this will result in a very useful corpus of data for local livestock producers. The research fulfills Fonnesbeck’s University of Idaho promotion and tenure requirements, and will help make hay storage across the county more efficient.

Solid Waste Cancellations

County Treasurer Leigh Love spoke to the commission about whether she has the authority to cancels solid waste fees. It was determined that if a solid waste fee has been included in a tax bill, it will be brought before the commission for cancellation. If the fee is brought to the Treasurer’s attention beforehand, it will be handled in the commission meeting with Love’s recommendation.

PZ Module Update

Rhonda Neal, representing the Planning and Zone Commission, spoke about the ongoing process of establishing application fees for conditional use permits, as well as other development issues resulting from the new development code. Neal asked the commission to allow her to add services to the county’s IWORQ software for $1600/yr in order to electronically organize permits, applications, fees, etc. The county needs to create a fee schedule to support the implementation of the types of permits reC Y

quired by the development code. A public hearing will be necessary to set fees, as they don’t currently exist, and therefor will represent an increase above the 3% threshold. Fees in question are largely related to conditional use permitting for allowed non-conforming building applications. Each zone on the county map has a range of accepted variances for exceptions.

Federal State Labor Laws

The Sheriff’s Office talked to the commission about federal and state laws regarding law enforcement personnel. Sheriff Jones and Doug Williams communicated that under labor guidelines, dispatchers were not considered law enforcement personnel.

Determining the best way to arrange for hours to reduce overtime becomes more complicated as a result. Dispatchers currently work a 36 hour week followed by a 46 hour week.

This results in extra hours going to comp time, rather than pay. A change to eliminate the problem and create a standard 80 hour paid work period will be examined by the commissioners, the clerk’s office, and the sheriff before the next meeting. Lon Colton agreed to look into a way to adjust the policy to account for the problem.

Doug Williams explained that comp time unpaid during the first half of the fiscal year need to be paid out at the beginning of the next fiscal year if not used, according to Idaho law. A report on the status of comp time throughout the county and when it was accrued will be undertaken by Colton.

Resource Officer Agreement

A contract with the school district for a resource officer from the Sheriff’s Office was presented to the commissioners. The school district will be paying the wages of the resource officer to the county as an intermediary, and the hourly rate by the county is designed to account for PERSI and other taxes. The structure of the payment to cover those additional costs was discussed, though the deductions on overtime pay are considerable. Attorney Fuller advised that he did not see any direction to the county about how to pay out the funds to the employees serving as resource officers.

The fact that the budget has already been allocated for the 2024 year presents some issues with budgetary flexibility on the matter. All entities involved expressed a belief in the importance of having a resource officer in the schools. Commissioner Jeppsen determined that either a flat $40/hr rate or a time and a half rate for the employee would allow for the position to be funded by the school board without affecting the county’s budget to the negative, as long as the allocation from the school district for the hourly rate was $50/hr. A new contract will be written and presented to the school board.

County Policy—FMLA

Doug Williams advised the commissioners that the county’s Family Medical Leave policy needed to be posted in county facilities as part of Idaho Code. The signage is a legal requirement for governmental entities.

Drug Testing

Williams also spoke about the county’s random drug testing policy. Wil-

liams felt that currently the sheriff’s office and road and bridge were disproportionately affected by the policy, which should be more randomized.

While the importance of testing law enforcement and road and bridge (who maintain CDLs and operate heavy equipment) was noted, it was also noted that in order for the policy to fulfill its stated goal, representation from other departments in the testing process should be pursued. The commission suggested that they would explore means to expand the testing in order to more broadly reflect county employees. Road and Bridge and the Sheriff’s Office are both under their own random testing requirements, while only county guidelines are in place for other employees.

ARPA funding was used for the county elevator project. To date, just over $26K remains in the ARPA fund, which needs to be spent by the end of the year. The potential to use some of those funds for additional needs within the courthouse was discussed.

Some issues with the elevator since it has been in use have prevented the county from viewing the contract as finalized.

Bulk Gas Tank for county fuel

Bids for a gas tank have been received. The tank will be used to store fuel for county vehicles, and allow the county to potentially save costs on fuel buy buying in bulk during lower prices. The tank will also provide a supply of emergency fuel for the county. The bids will be reviewed before a determination is made moving forward.

First Responder counseling

An update on the current status of the SHSP to cover a backup generator for the Event Center was provided by Tory Richardson and Dan Williams.

The county is waiting for a study to be completed about Environmental Impact on the location for the cement pad. Construction on government property is required to have proof that the construction will not create any negative environmental impact, especially if the use of federal or state grant funds are used in the project.

The timeframe for the study and the deadline for project implementation under the SHSP grant create a narrow window of time for the project. Generac has reported that they will not be able to supply a generator within the required time, so a company who can provide a generator more quickly than Generac has been located, hopefully leaving the grant timeline intact.

Emergency responders through the sheriff’s office are eligible to receive tele-health counseling services through a contract with an outside counseling company. After one year of the service, it was determined that the county has found it useful and valuable. A new contract would increase the number of sessions available to county employees to unlimited (rather than set) for a negligible increase in cost ($10K/yr vs. $9875).

Discussion was held over whether the first year represented a high number due to initial contacts, but may not correlate to ongoing volume. The commissioners expressed the feeling that the service was necessary, but wanted to do more research on which method for structuring the costs was best for the county. Counseling is an important factor in the mental health of first responders, who regularly encounter situations such as accidents, unattended deaths, domestic violence investigations, and other serious situations that can lead to PTSD and other negative mental health outcomes if not addressed.

Ben Naylor Rezone

Open Meeting Law

SHSP

February 15 has been scheduled as the day for the Ben Naylor rezone appeal hearing. Following the adoption of the new Development Code, rezoning has been put before the commission in one major case, that of a proposed rezone by Allen Nielsen.

That rezone request was denied by the county. Naylor’s case specifics are different, in that the goal for the rezone was determined to be possible without a rezone. However, in order to keep the rezone active as a secondary possibility, the hearing needed to be scheduled within a certain amount of time from the initial application, which this would fulfill.

Stone Garbage Dump

Commissioner Ken Eliason raised the issue of the Stone Garbage dump.

He asked what the status of the Stone

Commissioner Jeppsen raised the issue of what situations were appropriate for the discussion of issues relevant to the county outside of open meetings on the part of commissioners. Under state and county guidelines, commissioners are not permitted to discussion issues which require action from the commissioners outside of open meetings. Fuller clarified that the law was intended to prevent discussion of ongoing decision making, rather than informational conversations. Fuller cautioned that this was as much a perception issue as a real concern. Lon Colton suggested that the School Board does make a post in cases where a quorum may be present. He further advised that out of an abundance of caution, posting notices for informal meetings without action items might be a good idea.

PLANNING & ZONING

Public Hearing and Regular Meeting Jan 3

The Oneida County Planning and Zoning Commission held two public hearings, as well as a regularly scheduled meeting on January 3, its first meeting of the year.

Lyle Fuller introduction

The Board was joined by new county attorney Lyle Fuller, who introduced himself at the start of the meeting. Fuller grew up in Blackfoot, lived in Alaska, and went to BYU and Duke University, and has practiced in Missouri and Kansas, as well as Utah and Idaho. Fuller eventually moved to SLC where he practiced water law.

He moved to Preston in 2010, where his firm works with a lot of land use, water rights, and local government issues. Has been city atty for Preston since 2019, as well as Downey, Bancroft, Lava. He is Married with 4 kids, the youngest serving mission in Texas.

Public Hearing—Randy Gamble

The first hearing was held over a rezone request from Randy Gamble.

Rhonda Neal spoke first by presenting the county’s staff report. Randy Gamble had petitioned PZ for a rezone of property. Surrounding land is all agricultural to every side. The property is just around the corner from exit 17. The report was submitted for review, and several agencies responded, including ATC, IDAWY, the School District, Sheriif, Rocky mtn power, the postal service, EMS, Engineer.

The engineer requested some changes, which were responded to by the applicant.

Gamble hopes to develop a subdivision with three 5 acre lots. Lots of that size are not permitted in Agriculturally zoned land, but are permitted in rural residential. The fourth lot will be agricultural, and not permitted for dwelling.

Policies required to meet the rezone were presented: Property Rights, Citizen Participation, Resources (a water study needs to be done). A number of things related to water need to be submitted before the request would be granted. Most of it is proof that the water, sewage, open space, runoff, etc. will be effective. The application also has to demonstrate that it will protect wildlife and scenic views.

Other policies that need to be satisfied include how water usage will be monitored and enforced, how the development will account for necessary resources such as water, confirmation of appropriate height and setbacks for structures, establishment of a common location for school pickup, clearance with the airports overlay district, and compliance with the National Emergency program.

In their final recommendation, Staff recommends the following conditions: owner will follow staff report and development agreement action prior to rezone; owner will submit plat reviews and permits to be in compliance with Develpment Code; concept plan represents owner’s current concept—as it evolves, some changes may occur—if county determines they require additional requirements, a public hearing may be held; owner will comply with requirements of local, federal, and state governments.

County engineer Stephen Freiburger

County Engineer Stephen Freiburger addresses the Planning and Zoning Commission on the subject of an Airport Overlay Zone.

explained that the development would have to enter into a development agreement based on the intitial proposal. Any changes would need further permissions. The lots were stated to be 230-240 feet wide.

In his statement to the commission, Randy Gamble explained that he had recently sold a five acre lot on the property and a well for it had been checked out. The houses would be built with easements for individual driveway access. The houses will be along the road, while the back will be ag land.

During the public comments section, a letter from potential neighbors Brad and Melanie Coleman was read into the record, stating “we appreciate your willingness to listen…in general, we are against spot-zoning. It will create an incontiguous county that will be difficult for road maintenance etc. We would like to keep as much land ag as possible.”

Commission Chair Josh Paskett asked for clarification about what was included in the rezone. Rhonda Neal explained the rezone applied to 15 acres, and that the county would need to provide a list of changes attached to an approval, or a list of reasons for a denial so that the applicant could appeal on those specifics.

Members Vickie Ingram and Steve Daniels suggested that they would like more time to study and review the request before making any decisions at the next meeting, Feb 7. Daniels motioned to table discussion until the next meeting before making a decision. The motion was approved.

Public Hearing—Airport Overlay Zone

The second hearing involved the formal adoption of an Overlay District for the airport.

An Overlay district (which has been in place, but not formalized under the new Development Code) needs to be adopted in order to protect the airport as an investment, as well as the pilots etc. who use the airport. The district is just west of Malad, and mostly impacts ag land, though it does cover a residential portion of the city’s impact zone, and the industrial park. The district follows section lines for efficiency. The overlay district involves a series of “surfaces” that regulate the height of buildings constructed within the overlay. On the immediate location of the airport, the height is limited most severely, and increasingly less so at stages as the zone moves outward from the airport. Permits are required

to build within the AOLZ. There have been no permits of that sort to the PZ’s knowledge. Most of the impacted neighbors would be in the approach zone, which limits ag structures to 50’ and in RR to 35’. A few things that exist currently in the overlay violate the proposed overlay, and are either roads or fences. It would be the airport’s responsibility to mitigate those structures.

During public comments, Jared Simpson stated that “I am on the airport board. We strongly support this.

It looks to me like the new zoning would just take a permit to build inside of it. I don’t see how it would be an issue.”

David Nimer explained that “I think it’s important that a map be available.

I have been worried about this for a long time. The houses, especially on the east side of the airport, might be a problem.” He suggested that a “displaced threshold” would allow for not interfering with nearby homes. This is a situation where the GPS coordinates for the runway are adjusted for certain aircraft in order to bring the existing strip into conformity with the overlay requirements.

Terry Davis mentioned that his property was at the end of the north runway, with a pivot just west of the runway. He asked the commission who would be responsible for installing a light on the structure if it was deemed necessary. This would be the airport’s responsibility.

Stephen Freiburger mentioned that some areas have been designated as those which might be sought for purchase on the receipt of grants. The property would be purchased to clear the approach, though this would be a voluntary sale, not an eminent domain issue.

Tom Willie stated that he was not against the overlay per se, but he did question why the zone needed to be so large. His farm is 1.6 miles from the airport. Freiburger said that it was unlikely there would be any effects on his property as a result of the overlay zone, other than potentially at the end of the runways. Willie asked about the future plan for the airport, and how much expansion was foreseen. It was reported that the footprint of the airport was not likely to change at all in the foresseable future.

Tracy Davis raised the issue of whether the pivot control system would cause a communication problem with the airport’s control tower.

No one present had a definite response, but explained that if such interference occurred, it would be the airport’s responsibility to address it.

Vern Williams asked whether they were any changes to the plane types that would be landing at the airport.

Paskett responded that nothing would

be changing on that level, and that the overlay needed to be approved as a part of the Development Code, but that it was already substantially in place the same way.

A letter from Kirk Willie was read into the record. He expressed the belief that blocking out sections of the whole valley, especially within the impact zone, when the county is trying to encourage growth, is a mistake.

He suggested establishing a corridor where planes can fly below 500 ft.

During the discussion segment of the hearing, the commission articulated the need for approval. The request is specifically to add the overlay district to the zoning map in accordance with the Development code. This will protect the public investment that has been done, and keep the airport viable for grants and funding. The county will establish that non-conforming uses within the overlay that cannot receive permits can be compensated; the city also needs to adopt the overlay; the airport should be resp for any road changes that are required by FAA. Commissioner Steve Daniels asked whether the requirements in this overlay district are any more or less stringent than other communities? It was reported by Freiburger that the regulations were based on state and Federal requirements for airports of the same size. It is comparable with Rigby, Jerome, Arco, Preston, and other rural airport zones.

Chairman Paskett motioned to table the decision until the next meeting for further study. The matter should be decided at the 2/7 meeting.

Regular Meeting

Following the hearing, the regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order.

During the meeting, the commission met with Cherese McClain and Mike Williams (who helped author the Development Code) over Zoom to discuss some potential changes to the section covering Agricultural Zones.

Several issues have been raised a number of times since the passage of the Development Code relating to the process for splits and development in Ag zones. These are largely related to dividing parcels for sale within families under the one-time split allowance. Of particular relevance were the current density requirements (which limit the number of homes possible on Ag parcels), and a minimum size under which a one-time split can be allowed. A number of parcels currently in Ag zones were established before the current Development Code, and would create non-conforming lot sizes if splits were granted. Language to clarify division for these sorts of parcels, as well as stating a minimum resulting lot size were seen as needed.

Other issues include the lack of ag feeding as a stated allowable exception for use permitting. It was agreed by the commission and McClain and Williams that a solution is needed for these issues, which will continue to be raised moving forward. Another issue the group considered was the concept of “clustering,” which holds that residences in split parcels should be located within as close proximity to one another in order to leave as much contiguous ag land as possible.

The Assessors Office was represented by Assessor Kathleen Atkinson, who raised the further issue of the difference between land zoned as agricultural for the purposes of development, and land labeled agricultural for the purposes of tax assessment. While often overlapping, the two labels are not directly connected, which has caused some confusion.

The Commission has been working on streamlining and clarifying the new Development Code for months, and will continue to do so in an ongoing way as needed.

As a result of the discussion, Paskett proposed “taking the quarter section language out and stick[ing] with 40 acres per housing lot, and stating that the one time split must be on original parcel as of 2000 and result in nothing smaller than 5 acres.” The commission and the outside advisors will meet again on February 21 to further discuss implementing these changes.

With the storm quieted and the roads clear, the American Falls Beavers made their way to Malad Saturday, January 13 for their second matchup of the season.

Zack Richardson started off the scoring for Malad, swishing a three pointer through the net on the Dragon’s very first possession of the game. Ryan Hubbard followed as he hit one of two free throws after getting fouled on the block following a perfect bounce pass around the defense from Braylen Tripp. Richardson hit another three pointer off of a deep skip pass from Carter Carey in the opposite corner to put Malad up 7-0 in just over the first minute of the game.

Getting settled in their offense, the Beavers answered back with a move to the basket and two points from the block. But they couldn’t shut down sophomore Richardson at the three as he turned around to hit another shot from behind the arc on the left wing to go up 10-2.

While Malad’s offense dominated the opening of the game, their defense stepped to dominate the latter end of the quarter. Their tough pressure made it a challenge for American Falls to get any sort of shot off, causing turnovers due to shot clock violations, a pattern that continued throughout the game. Despite their great defense, the Beavers were able to whittle away their lead as the first quarter closed out with a score of 1312 after Ben Peterson put up a final drive with only seconds left on the clock.

Peterson was first to score again in the second quarter as he drove into the key as the Dragons executed an inbounds play from the baseline after a Beaver foul. Bradey Showell added two more points for Malad as he came in for the weak side rebound.

On the following possession, Richardson hit another three pointer, this time from the right wing, after Carey passed the ball backwards to him as he was falling down in an attempt to avoid traveling. The well placed and highly lucky pass found Richardson open and ready for the shot. Showell found himself at the free throw line against shooting bonus shots after getting fouled on a baseline drive, adding two points to bring the score to 22-15.

Back in the game after briefly being subbed out, Tripp worked the ball around inside the key to put up a turnaround jumper from the front of the rim to put up another Dragon two points only to add three more as he hit the shot from the deep right corner off a quick pass from Peterson. As they took the ball down the court after another defensive win as they forced American falls to commit a shot clock violation, Carey hit a jumper from the corner of the key as their shot clock wound down to two seconds. Working the ball around on their next possession, Carey found himself open on the block as the Beavers overplayed the guards connecting with a pass from the top of the key, Tripp passed the ball in for Carey to lay the ball in for another two points for the Dragons before the half ended 31-21.

came out firing on all cylinders, putting up a more intense and focused offense and defense to close the gap on the scoreboard and eventually take the lead midway through the third quarter. Malad’s defense did well to minimize shooting opportunities for American Falls as they intercepted passes, forced turnovers and hit the boards rebounding. Offensively, they struggled to connect with the hoop scoring only a few points over the quarter as they stepped up at the free throw line. Richardson tied the game up again as he stole the ball and ran the court to put it in for the lay up with seven seconds left, ending the quarter 38-38.

Over the fourth quarter, the two teams battled it out, going neck and neck on the court and on the scoreboard. Both teams brought great hustle, intensity and urgency to the game. The defense was the name of the game over the fourth quarter as the ball made trips up and down the court without ever being scored.

Just as Malad would be in position to take over on the scoreboard the Beavers would hit another crucial shot to extend their lead by just a few more points. With just two points to go, Peterson put up a scoring drive to the basket to bring them to within one point, 51-52. On their next two possessions, the Beavers nailed two big shots to expand their lead by four points with just a minute to spare.

After pausing for a timeout to slow the momentum, Malad came out with a scoring play to narrow the gap to just one shot. Looking to foul in hopes of getting a quick opportunity for a steal or to put the ball in the offense’s hands, the Beavers went to the foul line several times as the final minute played out. Hitting a number of their bonus shots, American Falls kept their margin to win the game, 53-58.

Regardless of the final score, Coach Zach Beutler was pleased with the way his team played throughout the night, saying, “It was the most complete game the guys have played since the first couple weeks of the season. We have everyone back from injuries and sickness. Other than a handful of breakdowns on each end we executed very well.”

Speaking of their tough opponent, Coach Beutler shared, “American Falls shot 65% from beyond the arch with most of them at 30+ feet from the hoop with a hand in their face. It’s really tough to defend when a team can stretch the floor like that.”

The Dragons look to have a big week as they move into their first

MHS WRESTLING The Dragon wrestlers traveled to Ridgeline High School Wednesday, January 10 to hit the mats against the Riverhawks. They fought hard against the 4A Utah school but came up just short of the win, 39-34, taking their first dual loss this season.

Coach Devin Morrison commented, “The kids wrestled well but we came away knowing we still have plenty of work to do before the postseason.

Our wrestlers are working hard to improve individually and as a team, they have big goals and are working everyday towards those goals.”

Scheduled to compete at Wendell and Madison tournaments on Friday, January 12, the boys and girls wrestling teams had two days of matches canceled due to inclement weather.

Unfortunately, with a packed schedule ahead of them, the tournaments won’t be rescheduled. With their weekend clear, several of the MHS wrestlers spent their supporting Malad youth wrestling as the Brothers of Steel competed in the first IDAWAY tournament held in Marsh Valley. Coach Morrison shared, “It is a great oppor-

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Shifting games around due to the winter storms, the Lady Dragons managed to work in their week’s games, bringing home the victory as they played away at Marsh Valley and Aberdeen. The games proved to be important learning experiences for the MHS girls basketball team as they struggled in the first half in both games. But being the determined and fierce team that they are, they found it within themselves to bring back their intensity and focus to win the games.

Playing against the Eagles on Wednesday, January 10, the Lady Dragons found themselves trailing behind on the scoreboard for most of the game. The young Marsh Valley team brought a quick, in-your-face defense that seemed to fly around the court as fast as the ball did.

Going into the fourth quarter, the Lady Dragons were behind 37-40 on the scoreboard. With renewed intensity, both offense and defense stepped up their game as they returned for the final quarter of the game. The defense, stepping up the pressure to force Marsh Valley to rush their shots, found ways to convert their hustle into scoring opportunities on the other end of the court.

Brynnlee Jones grabbed a big rebound in Eagle territory, passing to outlet Izzy Haycock on the wing.

Pushing the ball down the floor, Haycock connected with Hallie Horsley for the layup despite defenders hot on her heels to bring the score within one point. Marsh Valley wasn’t about to give up, putting up five points before Malad answered. But as they did, they went on a 10-0 scoring run.

and put it back in for two points. On the next Malad possession, Horsley posted up, making a move to the basket for another Lady Dragon score.

Point guard Haycock drove down the lane for the lay in, making the basket and the extra point after being fouled, finally taking the lead 47-45.

With the lead in hand, the Lady Dragons never looked back as they pressed on with another scoring drive, this time from Mikell Keetch. Keetch set up Horsley for Malad’s next two points, bringing the ball down the court to the right wing where Jones came to set a screen. Slipping the screen and drawing the defenders with her, Jones slipped to the key, giving Keetch the open lane where a Marsh Valley defender stepped in at the block. Without missing a beat,

Keetch passed the ball to Horsley on the opposite block for the score.

Desperate to take the lead back, Marsh Valley became aggressive and turned to fouls. The Lady Dragons stepped up to the challenge as Nelson, Keetch, and Oakley Hebdon went six for eight at the free throw line to finish off the game 57-51.

Nelson put up another double double as she had 15 points and 14 rebounds, with Horsley close behind with 13 points and 8 rebounds. Keetch added another 9 points and 5 rebounds with Hebdon posting another 8 points and 2 rebounds.

Rescheduling their away game to Aberdeen from Friday to Monday, January 15, the Lady Dragons took down another conference opponent.

Tigers came out in a big way, challenging the less intense Malad team.

Talking over their less than best performance in the opening half, the Lady Dragons were determined to bring a new game to the second half.

It didn’t take long to see their renewed focus in the game as they tightened down their defense and began hitting their shots on offense. Jones hit three big three pointers as the Lady Dragons came back out on the court. Horsley exploited the Tigers weak defense as she repeatedly drove the baseline, putting up six points on layups and hitting six for seven shots from the free throw line. The Lady Dragons surge posted twenty-seven points over the third quarter to take a commanding lead, 62-33.

Putting up one more score to run the clock continuously, Malad continued to dominate the game as they went 10-1 in the final quarter of the game, finishing 72-34. Despite the sluggish start, Horsley posted 24 points, 18 rebounds, 5 steals and 3 blocks, going 8 for 10 at the free throw line.

Jones added another 18 points and 9 rebounds. Off the bench, Keetch led in assists with 7.

After the week’s games, Coach Trevor Jones commented, “We are proud to see our girls bring home the win even when they aren’t playing at their best. When it comes down to it, they can bring in their focus and energy to win games. Now we need to work on being consistent with that focus and energy from the tip off to the final buzzer. They have so much talent and potential and we love to see when they put their best effort on the court.”
