Day of Service in the Malad Valley

As this year’s September 11 falls on a Wednesday, Oneida County opted to observe the 9/11 Day of Service over the weekend, in order to allow as many people to participate as possible. Across the various projects underway throughout the valley, scores of people turned out to aid in a variety of community support and beautification projects. From the downtown parking lot west of the co-op to Samaria and Holbrook, the many projects underway Saturday morning proved the truth

of the expression “many hands make light work.”

Ron Moon led a group of volunteers in the cleaning of the on/off ramps at Exits 13 and 3. As the first area that visitors encounter when they come into town, the appearance of the exits sets the tone for the rest of the valley. While not overly cluttered, the groups filled several bags with refuse and other material.

At the Presbyterian Church, Toni Werk welcomed many volunteers to help collect and remove tree branch-

Last week, Nell J Redfield was among the sponsors of the Mental Health/Suicide Awareness Walk that took place at Malad High School and the Malad City Cemetery. September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and Malad has participated in the remembrance walk officially for the last eight years. The event featured comments from registered nurse and health educator Rachel Madsen, after which those in attendance walked from the high school to the cemetery’s newly added “Million Broken Hearts” mon-

ument and back. Along the way, signs placed in memory of loved ones who had died by suicide were placed along the path. The somber event was designed to raise awareness of the widespread issues related to suicidality and mental health, which are beyond easy classification in terms of who they affect. As Rachel Madsen mentioned in her talk, there is no one who is not or has not been affected by the suicide of someone in their own lives.

es that had recently been trimmed and left for collection. The project involved a number of different groups and people, including Arrowhead Tree Service, Boy Scout Troop 1776, and many volunteers. Steve and Gia Haycock made Strawberry crepes for those who came to help on Saturday. Remember that when you plan your service next year!

Ray Hubbard oversaw painting and cleanup at the park in Holbrook. Samaria was in a painting mood as well, as volunteers converged on the Blue Goose and two other smaller buildings to apply new coats of paint. Luke Waldron spent the morning back and forth between the buildings, which were in need of paint scraping and then generous supplies of paint. The project has been discussed for many years, but the town dove for the Day of Service, and the results look fantastic.

As in other years, one of the primary points of focus for the Day of Service was collecting food for Carol’s Pantry, Oneida County’s primary food security storehouse. Food was collected from around Oneida County in the lead-up to Saturday’s delivery to the pantry, sorted at the Victory Baptist Church by a veritable army of helpers, and then taken out to the Crisis Center to be stocked on the shelves of the pantry. Fall is

NEWS IN BRIEF

50th anniversary of Evel Knievel’s Snake River Canyon jump

On Sunday, September 8th, 1974, crowds gathered to watch Evel Knievel jump the Snake River Canyon in a Skycycle. Evel Knievel had already been known as the world’s most famous daredevil. He was known to jump over trucks, cars, and anything else he could find to entertain his fans. Knievel wanted to jump over a canyon and engineer Robert Truax designed a Skycycle that was powered by a steam that would launch off of a rail and fly over the canyon, then deploy a parachute and land on the other side. Thousands of people gathered to watch Knievel. He waved to the crowd then was launched off of the rail into the sky. Things did not go as planned, as the parachute deployed too early. Knievel and the Skycycle floated down and were slammed into rocks at the bottom of the canyon. Evel Knievel survived but was angry that he was unsuccessful at jumping the Snake River Canyon.

Princess Kate completes chemotherapy treatment for cancer

Princess Kate announced that she has completed her chemotherapy treatment. The princess said, “The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family… cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you”. A video was made for Kate to say thank you for the support that her and her family have received. She said, “although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes”. Kate has made many public appearances since she revealed she had cancer in March. She said she was undergoing “a course of preventative chemotherapy” that was recommended by her medical team. The princess said she is excited to get back to work and attend more public engagements in the coming months.

Utah mother killed her 3 young children, then herself

Maribel Ibarra, of West Haven, and her three young children ages 4,2, and 1 were found dead in a car. Weber County Sheriff’s Lt. Terance Lavely said, “The evidence indicates that Maribel Ibarra shot her three children in the rear cargo area of her vehicle before turning the gun on herself”. Emergency dispatchers received a call at 9:47 p.m. from someone who said that they found four of their family members deceased. A memorial has been placed on the steps of the house where the killings took place. Ibarra’s family said in a statement, “We are going through an extremely difficult time, with a pain in our hearts that cannot be explained in words due to the invaluable loss we have suffered, because they were the light of our lives…As a family, we unfortunately knew nothing about her mental health. We always saw her as a loving mother, which makes this so shocking for us. We do not know the exact reasons why this tragedy happened, and we deeply regret it. This pain is something we wish no one would ever have to go through”.

The Blue Goose became the proud owner of a new coat of paint, as one of the projects finished this weekend across the valley.

The Boy Scouts had a busy week as well, being involved with the food drive as well as the cleanup at the Presbyterian church.

The Million Broken Hearts monument was installed in the cemetery for Memorial Day.

Walk for Awareness

The school was opened up to the public before the scheduled part of the event began, as attendees visited the various booths set up in the lobby of the high school. In addition to the Crisis Center and the MHS Counseling department, which have been involved in the walk since it began, a number of other organizations were on hand to speak with and provide information to guests.

The library is one of the new booths on hand, and serves the community as a repository of resources and information on health care topics, as well as a gathering place for members of the community who might feel at times isolated. The Extension Office was on hand to discuss the various programs that it offers for both kids and adults. The Oneida Senior Center was also represented. One of the least discussed but nonetheless significant populations for which suicide and mental health issues have a major impact is the population of those over 65. Recent data has shown that the prevalence of depression and suicidal ideation has been consistently underreported for a variety of reasons. New counseling center Valley View Counseling was present as well, as

Nicole Daniels introduced herself and the services Valley View offers. The Village is a facility in Pocatello that works with at-risk young people to provide a safe space and temporary location to work on personal issues. Others were also present at the event, which was very well-attended.

Food for the event consisted of Walking Tacos, which were prepared and served by Malad High School’s FCCLA chapter under the direction of Shantel Tavoian. The FCCLA also provided refreshments after the walk.

The “Million Broken Hearts” monument was placed at the Malad City Cemetery in time for Memorial Day earlier this year. It is the result of a long effort by local author Jill Vanderwood to create a place in the cemetery devoted to remembering those lost to suicide, domestic violence, or accidental death. The monument reads, in part “Each life that is ended through violence, suicide, or accidental death leaves behind a million broken hearts.”

Rachel Madsen spoke briefly before the walk started. She has lived in Malad for the past 13 years, and has trained students to become Certified Nursing Assistants for 24 years. She is a Mental Health First

Aid Instructor and has recently focused her efforts on creating and providing resources to empower those who are trying to improve their mental health. Through her personal and professional experiences, she feels strongly that making lifestyle changes is an important part of improving and maintaining optimum physical and mental health.

In her talk, Madsen encouraged those in the audience to introduce themselves to the person next to them, and ask them a series of questions about how they were doing. She stressed the point that for many people, feeling like they are being heard and having a chance to talk about how they are is extremely important.

The Crisis Center presented the startling finding that in many cases “within ten minutes an individual can go from thinking about suicide to action.” As a result, it is important to be a ready listener, and be vigilant for any signs that a friend, family member, co-worker, or anyone else is potentially thinking about harming themselves or others.

Suicide has long been stigmatized, despite its near-universal existence across cultures, age groups, ethnicities, economic classes, and every

other demographic. All communities are affected by suicide, and a suicide not only affects the immediate person who injures themselves, but the many people left behind. In many cases, the entire community is affected by the act, which it is in everyone’s interest to help prevent. Rachel Madsen, as well as many of the others involved with the walk, stressed the importance of acknowledging the reality of suicidality as a very real issue that can only be addressed when it is brought out of the darkness and into the light, where those suffering can potentially receive support and intervention from others. There are a large number of pressures and stressors that contribute to suicidal ideation, but they can only be dealt with when they are transparently discussed and engaged with as issues.

Labyrinth Assessment and Behavioral Services, Malad City, MentallyFitU365, Oneida School District Counseling Departments, Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital, Oneida County Extension Office, Oneida County Library, Oneida County Senior Center, Oneida Crisis, SICOG, Southeastern Idaho Public Health, The Village, and Valley View Counseling all participated.

New Counseling Office opens in Malad

Nicole Daniels, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, recently opened a new counseling center to serve the needs of Oneida County. She will be working with Tyler Cook, Licensed Master Social Worker, Monday through Friday. Valley View Counseling is located in Suite 2 next to the Pines in Malad.

Daniels explained that one counselor in town (Jodi Barnes) had recently left, and both she and Jody Owens expressed a belief that there was a further need for mental health counseling services in the community, as they both had waiting lists that stretched out into the months.

“So that was an opportunity for me to hop in. I specifically provide counseling to individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and grief and loss,” Daniels

explained. “My specialty area with my Masters was marriage, couples, and family, and I received a lot of training on providing services to those folks. Since I graduated, I’ve received additional training and supervision specific to trauma.”

One of her previous experiences was at a center in which trauma was a central issue. “I worked at a child advocacy center in Pocatello, where we worked with kids that had been sexually abused. During my time there, they trained me in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as a trauma treatment,” she said.

In brief, EMDR allows the brains of trauma victims to process their trauma in a safe and effective way using bilateral stimulation. Daniels explained the process as similar to the way that brains process material during REM sleep. In the case

of trauma, the brain is unable to resolve the memory or issue without external assistance, which is where the counselor comes in. This can be used to help patients come to resolution with childhood trauma, events like accidents, divorces, abuse, and many other situations.

In her experience working in this area (Daniels worked at Malad Elementary School as a counselor prior to opening her clinic, which has been open since the summer), Daniels says that she has seen a lot of “anxiety. Also, a lot of people processing grief. We work with a lot of children—we see kids, teenagers, and adults. But we do see a lot of children suffering from anxiety or ADHD.”

Rather than describe a profile of a person who would likely benefit from counseling, Daniels uses

a list of questions to allow people to make that determination for themselves.

“Are you struggling to function at work or at school in your everyday life? Are you struggling with relationships? Are you having flashbacks of past trauma? Are you struggling with parenting? Do you suffer from depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? Those are some of the questions I would suggest people ask to see if it might be right for them. For anyone who has thought about counseling before but was scared away, it’s not as scary as you think. We’re a safe place for you to talk and get the help you need.”

She advises people who are considering counseling to call the of

Thank You to Volunteers!

Thank you to all of the “old” people who came to move rock for the landscaping at the Co-op parking lot, and for our one young volunteer, Jenetta Jacaway, who moved the wheelbarrows for us and worked like a champ! We appreciate all of you. Thanks to Gaylen Garrett who came with the loader for the last part of the work to help us get it done. Thank you Roxanne Albretsen for the delicious cookies and President Jensen for the water!

Day of Service

the beginning of the largest need season for families with regard to food supplies, and the food drive is right on time to help supplement the regular donations throughout the year. Once again, the Boy Scouts were on hand to help out, as well as countless members of the community. Food was provided at the church to those helping out.

The National Day of Service and Remembrance was originally founded by the non-profit MyGoodDeed as a way of honoring the memories of those who died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, as well as keeping the spirit of service that followed alive within the country. “We wanted to make sure the terrorists didn’t have the last word in forever defining for generations how Americans would remember and observe 9/11,” said MyGoodDeed co-founder David Paine. The Day was officially recognized by a bipartisan act of Congress in 2009, and has gained prominence and participation each year since then.

Many organizations, including JustServe.org and others, have promoted the observation of the day in an organized manner. Oneida County has followed suit, and the various leaders of the projects undertaken on the day coordinate with others to make the event as large and productive as possible.

Many individuals also observe the day on their own time, and use the

day as a time to help their neighbors, their families, and their communities with projects that need doing. In addition to being a good motivation to finish or undertake projects in need of completion, the Day of Service and Remembrance also has the mission of increasing the ties that bind communities together, and fostering a shared sense of effort and connection. In that sense, the Day of Service has been a remarkable success.

Each of the projects involved in the county saw volunteers from across all age rages—from those just old enough to carry a small branch to a trailer to those with decades of experience—as well as backgrounds, faiths, professions, etc. Oftentimes, especially after the school year gets going with its attendant scheduling issues, the hectic movement from place to place and activity to activity can create a sense of fragmentation and isolation. Many people have just enough time and energy to think about whatever it is they have to do right then. A day like Saturday really allows for a shift in perspective, a way to recalibrate to the larger picture of what’s going on in the larger community and even the country as a whole.

While it has never been billed as a relaxing day, the 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance has certainly become a day that has the potential to rekindle people’s sense of belonging to a community that is larger than themselves, and working together to make it the best community possible.

Tree limbs were collected and removed behind the Presbyterian Church.

Another project was the cleaning of the Interstate on and offramps.

Food donations for Carol’s Pantry were collected and sorted at Victory Baptist, then taken out to the Pantry.

The city added landscaping to beautify the parking lot west of the co-op.

Carol’s Pantry was the destination for the goods donated through the food drive.

The Pantry is next to the Oneida Crisis Center, and can be reached at 208766-4412.

Football

Bella McCullough & Aubrey

Kennedy

On September 6, 2024 the Malad High School football team played against the Bulldogs in Ririe. They ended up losing 47-14 but played a great game. In the beginning they played a little rough and struggled to work as a team, but throughout the game they managed to play better together in the end. Brady Showell scored one touchdown and had a two-point conversion. Then just a few seconds later, Easton Green passed the ball to Dawsyn Peterson and he ran through the endzone and scored a touchdown. The next game, played by the C team, will be on September 12, 2024 at Ridge County. Then following that September 13, 2024 our JV and varsity teams will have a home game against American Falls.

Mayors Closet Donations

Kenadei Wise and Addison

Williams

The Malad High School Donation Closet, put on by the Mayor’s Youth Council, has been in the making since 2023. In August of 2024, the location was changed to the back of the school in Billy Peabody’s office. Now that the location has been moved, there is much more space to store items that have been donated. The Donation Closet is always accepting donations from students and other members of the community. The Donation Closet was set up in order to help students who are struggling and provide for those who may need more than what they have access to at home.

Those who want to donate are encouraged to visit the Malad Crisis

The Game for Brielle Bird

Kendra Rupp and Tavanie Steed

Last week, our girls volleyball team played against the Wendell Trojans. The Malad girls had a quick defeat against Wendell. They played next to the student section that wore gold in honor of “awareness for children’s cancer”. “The student section was very hyped up and lots of people showed up for the games.” Katie Coatney, student body vice-president said. Brielle Bird, a young girl that has been battling cancer for the second time now, and her family were grateful for the support. “It’s so cool to see that people are aware of Brielle and see what she is going through. I know she looks up now to every student in that student section that night,” said Paityn Ward. Brielle was there that night to support her cousin, Paityn. (Shown in picture, Brielle and Paityn.) One thing that Malad High School wants to show the world is that no one fights alone. “It was so nice to see the student body come together to fight for this cause,” one of the volleyball players said. Good luck volleyball girls for your upcoming games. Malad shows full support!

fice, and speak with she or Tyler. “Before anyone ever comes in, I do a free fifteen minute conversation with them over the phone to see how we can best help them.”

The idea of anxiety as an issue with a big presence in Oneida County might be surprising to some, but probably familiar to most. Anxiety as a national issue has been noted to have steadily increased over the years, with spikes related to events

such as school shootings, politically violent rhetoric, and mass social events like the COVID lockdown.

“The world has changed in the last decades,” Daniels said. There is more violence, even in the schools. It’s not uncommon to hear about kids threatening each other. The ways that parents are encouraged to be ‘kinder and more understanding’ sometimes comes into conflict with expectations for things like going to school.” Daniels pointed to the reality of lockdown drills in

schools, which is something many adults never experienced, but can serve as a major stressor, or reminder of trauma, for today’s students, as drills are required throughout the year.

Another issue that adds anxiety to many people’s lives, and especially young people, is social media, which can allow avenues for bullying at the extreme end of things, but also create unreasonable expectations, points of comparison against others, and a sense of never being caught up or ‘good enough’ in social environments. “There are third, fourth and fifth graders that have unsupervised social media access, and it’s terrifying for kids to have access that young. Nothing is filtered and anyone can post anything. It’s also constant, in that sense that it is always available and kids can get ‘addicted’ to it. One way that kids process information is by acting it out, and so there is a real problem with social media providing bad models for action in many cases.”

While the center will provide services specifically catered to fami -

lies and children, she will also be providing services to adults. “The other thing we provide is group counseling. We are trying to put together a group right now and we’re looking for individuals ages 18-35. People struggling with anxiety and depression and looking for help from others,” Daniels said. Anyone interested in the group setting can contact the Center for information about joining. The group will meet Monday nights at 7:00 p.m. once it gets going. The group will provide information about dealing with the issues, but also time for in-group discussions.

The center also provides a variety of services through Telehealth platforms in case there are those who would rather receive counseling that way.

Daniels said that the clinic accepts most insurance, including Medicaid. The clinic has some openings at present, and is accepting new clients at the moment.

BRAIN TEASERS

LOOKING BACK

5 YEARS AGO (2019)

On Tuesday, September 3, a much-awaited event finally took place – the groundbreaking for the new Oneida County Events Center! Those who have worked so hard to make the Events Center a reality were on hand to help turn a few shovels full of dirt and thank all who have helped make the dream come true.

Karl Petersen, Marc Esplin, and Walker Olsen were all awarded their Eagle rank on Sunday, August 25.

Daryl Peterson brought his golden eagle to the ceremony and shared some of his experiences with his eagle and talked about the symbolism and honor that is associated with becoming an Eagle Scout.

Brian Jeppsen inspired the audience by teaching the importance of the Scout Oath and the difference one person can make to the world with examples of Lord Baden Powell, Norman Borlaug, and George Washington Carver. After that, a wonderful slide show was presented by Hyrum Smith which was full of photos and memories from years of Scouting adventures.

Each Scout got to give Eagle pins to their mother, father and mentors and the evening ended with lots of pictures and a dinner for all.

Elizabeth Shafer Sweeten

January 4, 1935 ~ August 29, 2024

Elizabeth Shafer Sweeten was born January 4th, 1935, to John Merlin Shafer and Elizabeth Wight Shafer in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada, the eldest of 7 children.

Beth’s early life was spent in Lethbridge and Calgary and the family would move between Ordbend, California where her father would work as sweat labor on a farm for bees, which he would transport to Ranier, Alberta to produce honey.

The Shafer family moved to Ogden, Utah in 1950 where Beth attended Weber High and won awards for sewing and modeling clothes.

After high school, she attended BYU where she met and married Lloyd Robert Sweeten of Malad, Idaho in 1956, and started a family as both completed their degrees.

In 1961, Lloyd and Beth moved their growing family to the C.H. Sweeten and Sons farm in Holbrook, Idaho, and later moved to Malad to raise four children; Stephen, Robert, Sharon, and Rachael, all of whom survive her with 10 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents and her brother Robert Shafer. Beth is survived by her brothers Howard Shafer and Gordon Shafer, and her sisters Marian Bergin, Alice Shafer, and Margaret Orton.

Beth spent her life as an educator, an artist, and matriarch of her family. Beth taught English at Malad High and worked for the Idaho Extension Service helping farm wives with home making skills and support programs. In 1984 Lloyd and Beth

moved to Ogden, Utah where she taught English and ESL at Ogden High and Washington High.

She was known for being an excellent cook, a voracious reader, a talented seamstress, and an inspiring artist in watercolors, oils, and fabric. She has embodied the essence of lifelong learning for all who knew her and experienced her teacher’s heart. She was proud to share her knowledge and commitment to health freedom throughout her life. She loved to travel and experience new places with her sisters, her children and grandchildren and her friends. Nothing brought her more joy in her final years than witnessing the growth of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and of course snuggling with her pets.

On August 29th, 2024, Beth returned to her maker and her husband at the age of 89.

Beth’s memory, her art and her influence will grace our lives forever.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

On behalf of the First United Presbyterian Church of Malad, I would like to thank all the wonderful people that came to our Church Tree Trimming Project on September 7th for the 9/11 Day of Service. You are all representatives of the kind, hard-working Christians that reflect the teachings of our Lord and Savior. God provided the beautiful day and you provided a need for our “little church on the hill” that has been on the “do list” for several years.

First, I would like to thank Dean Hunt of Arrowhead Tree Service for the four days he spent trimming more than fourteen trees at the back of the church. He provided his man-lift rig to get many of the branches from the tall trees that were dead, dying or dangerous. The area beneath was filled with debris waist high. These trees will bud next Spring and provide some wonderful shade for outdoor gatherings.

On Thursday evening prior to Day of Service, Leader Bill Lewis guided four outstanding young Scouts to load the trimmed branches from the trees lining the north side driveway. Scout Troup #1776 included Zack Palmer, Hyrum Spenser, Tanner Bennett and Wesley Asay. Top Scout Mom., Mrs. Bennett, demonstrated how to gather and get the branches into the

dump trailer provided by Mr. Steve Werk.

Saturday morning’s first arrivals were Olin Hannum and his children Chesney, Kennedy and Jackson and President David Jensen. Olin provided a huge dump trailer and the “team” proceeded to fill it. Blaine Redd and sons Tanson and Taysom topped off the trailer and Steve Werk showed up with another trailer. Tylee Skinner came with 2 year old Golden and then Izzy Haycock, Aspen Allen, Corrie Maloy with 3 year old Mackenzee, Alisa Reiss and daughter Sara all raked, and carried branches and twigs to the trailer. There were several ladies who brought cookies and the biggest surprise of the morning, Steve and Gia Haycock set up to make Strawberry Crepes for everyone!

Please know I did not get everyone’s name, but none the less, we thank you for your participation and kindness. The project was completed at 10:50 AM with a total of nine trailer loads of branches. So many hands made for short work and to sum up the morning, Jackson Hannum shouted out, “This was fun!!”

Byron Knutsen

May 13, 1938 ~ August 31, 2024

Byron passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on August 31 just one day before the date he started chemo 4 years ago. He was born on 13 May 1938 in St. Clairsville, Ohio. He was the first child for Frank and Evelyn Knutsen and later there were two sisters and one brother. His early school years were in a few towns in Ohio. His college degrees were first in Indiana and later a Masters in Chemistry in Illinois, and this education led to his being a teacher in high schools for 34 years in chemistry, physics, upper math, and other sciences. The high schools were in Washington, Guam, Western Samoa, Ogden, UT, Dayton, ID and Malad, ID. There were 3 main choices in Byron’s adult life that made a good life possible. First, it was at Earlham College that he met Ginny Kuhl who became his best friend and wife and mother of his children for 63 years. Second, he and Ginny were baptized in Illinois in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when they were 25 and 26 years old. Third, Byron and Ginny had a desire to have children and be a larger family. The children are Lara (Scott Holt), Erik (Wendi), Kacey Felila (Russ), and Nathan (Sarah). They live in Colorado, Utah and Wisconsin. In addition, there are 19 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. Byron is also survived by his loving brother, Roger (Mimi), and sister, Sheila.

Byron has had many interests. They included: Cross Country and Track runner, teaching himself to work with stained glass, snowshoeing, weaving fine wall hangings, teaching himself to work with a mapping program to document his exploring of pioneer trails, indexing/transcribing on the computer of records from the past, remodeling projects, gardening, amateur archaeology, hiking in the sagebrush deserts and the western mountains, family history research, daily exercise, and being involved in the lives of his family.

His qualities are appreciated and loved by many, such as living a Gospel-centered life, integri -

declines to dismiss

OSD lawsuit against State

On Thursday, September 5, the motion by the State of Idaho to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Oneida School District #351 against the Idaho Department of Education and the State of Idaho was heard in 4th District Court before Judge Jason Scott. Judge Scott refused to dismiss the suit.

Representatives of Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador’s office claimed the state has sovereign immunity from such lawsuits. (Sovereign immunity means the government cannot be sued without its consent.) The attorney for the State suggested that Oneida School District has other ways to pursue its money, including going before the State Board of Examiners, which reviews claims against the State and makes funding recommendations to the Legislature. Then the State Legislature would have to allocate money to Oneida School District.

Judge Scott ruled that the School District has two weeks to file a defense motion, using Idaho case law regarding the sovereign immunity claim.

Then the State will have two weeks to respond to the District’s claims. These motions by Oneida School District and the State will be in writing, not heard in the courtroom. Therefore, no decision

will be made for another month. Judge Scott has said that the District should be eligible to receive at least part of the State funding promised in the now defunct Bond Levy Equalization program. However, he must abide by case law.

According to Superintendent Jon Abrams, who was present in court during this latest hearing, “It is encouraging that the judge did not dismiss the case. The District still has a chance to get at least some of the money we were expecting.” In response to rumors circulating that Oneida County taxpayers will now have to pay for the new elementary school, Mr. Abrams said, “All conjectures are premature because nothing can be planned until the lawsuit has been finalized. A bond would have to be passed before taxpayers would have to pay for the building and that is not likely to happen.” The most likely scenario is that payments for the new building would be spread over a longer period of time. Instead of the building being paid off in three years, it may take longer because payments would have to come only from School District’s funds. Mr. Abrams emphasized that should the lawsuit not be decided in Oneida School District’s favor, public meetings will be held to inform the public about options.

New hunters still have time to complete hunter education courses before the season

Courses can completed online or in a classroom

For those interested in hunting this fall, but who have not taken a hunter education course, it’s not too late. The online course is designed to be flexible and convenient. By completing an online course, students can get their hunter education certification on their own schedule and be ready to hunt this season.

Idaho Fish and Game’s online hunter education course costs $32.50 and is open to students who are at least 9 years old. The online course can be taken on any device with internet service, and it is self-paced. You can sign up for an online course on the Hunter Education webpage.

For those who prefer in-person training with an instructor and handson learning about firearm safety, we recommend the instructor-led courses. The availability of these courses this fall can be found at the link above (https://idfg.idaho.gov/hunt/education).

“This is the first step into a lifetime of hunting opportunities and memories,” said Brenda Beckley, Fish and Game hunter and angler recruitment manager. “We encourage all people interested in hunting - young and old - to take a hunter education course and join the tens of thousands of people who enjoy this fall tradition in Idaho.”

Archery hunter survives bear encounter

On the morning of Sunday, Sept. 1, an archery hunter was attacked by an adult male grizzly bear west of Henrys Lake in Island Park. The man was hunting elk with a friend on the Caribou-Targhee National Forest near the Divide Creek Road when the attack occurred.

During the surprise encounter, one of the hunters was knocked down and bitten by the bear. Both men were able to utilize their sidearms to shoot the bear, deterring the attack and killing the bear.

The hunters were able to call 911 and the injured individual was transported by helicopter to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center where he is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Fish and Game responded to the scene after coordinating with Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, Caribou-Targhee National Forest and Emergency Medical Service teams. Conservation Officers conducted a thorough investigation and determined that the hunters acted in self-defense during a surprise encounter with the bear from a very close distance.

“I am extremely grateful that both

of these individuals survived this encounter,” says Fish and Game Regional Supervisor Matt Pieron. “I have had the opportunity to speak with the injured hunter and his family and they are truly wonderful people. I wish him a speedy recovery from his injuries and the trauma these two hunters experienced.”

Grizzly bears are protected under State and Federal law, and Fish and Game would like to remind hunters that grizzly bears may be encountered in north Idaho and the Greater Yellowstone areas.

Here are some good reminders when hunting in grizzly country:

• Carry bear spray and keep it readily accessible.

• Hunt with partners and make each other aware of plans.

• Look for grizzly bear sign, including fresh tracks. Let partners know if you do see sign.

• Retrieve meat as quickly as possible.

• Hang meat, food, and garbage at least 200 yards from camp and at least 10 feet off the ground.

• When not hunting, make noise, especially around creeks and thick vegetation. Most attacks occur by inadvertently surprising a bear at close range.

The 2024 Upland Game Bird

Outlook Idaho Fish and Game

Idaho, with one of the most rugged landscapes in the union, offers a ton of upland game bird hunting opportunities. Whether you find yourself in the high-mountain timber or the lowland-sagebrush steppe, there’s a good chance you’re in upland bird country.

Upland game birds are sensitive to environmental factors—like temperature and precipitation—and often vary in number from year to year. Oftentimes these can be very localized, so hunters may not see the same impact in other parts of the state.

Because of this, it’s difficult to provide a forecast across the board; however, Idaho Fish and Game Upland Game and Migratory Game Bird Coordinator Jeff Knetter says temperature and precipitation during the nesting season were very similar to last year and could be beneficial for upland bird populations this fall.

“Weather during late spring and early summer were quite similar to the previous two years. However, there was more precipitation coming into the nesting season and it was a bit warmer this year,” Knetter said. “These conditions provided quality nesting and brood-rearing habitat. July was exceptionally hot and dry, but early reports suggest many species fared better than anticipated.”

Due to continued hot and dry condi-

tions, birds will likely be concentrated around water sources, particularly early in the season.

Many upland game bird populations rebounded in 2023, and there should be carryover into the fall 2024 season. Habitat conditions should be in good shape, and there should be an abundance of insects for brood-rearing.

There’s ample opportunity for upland hunters to pursue a wide variety of birds across diverse landscapes in Idaho, and upland birds in some areas will have fared better than others depending on localized conditions.

To provide an idea of what’s available this hunting season, Fish and Game’s wildlife biologists in each region compiled an overview of upland game birds in their necks of the woods, so hunters can get a look at their favorite areas and quarry.

To learn about upland game bird hunting rules and seasons, and more information, see https://idfg.idaho. gov/hunt/upland-bird Be sure to pick up a copy of the 2024-25 Upland Game, Furbearer and Turkey Seasons and Rules booklet from all Fish and Game offices and license vendors, as well as digitally on Fish and Game’s website.

Southeast Region

Winter conditions across the Southeast Region were essentially average—some areas with slightly over 100% snow water equivalent and some with slightly less. Spring brought good rainfall across the region and intermittent rains have occurred throughout August, although July was quite hot and dry. Conditions for nesting and brood rearing should have been good in the early summer. Field reports are mixed across the region: In general, hunters should expect slightly increased numbers of upland birds this year when compared to last.
