Samaria Celebrates Heritage Harvest Festival

As a kickoff to its first an nual event, the Malad Valley Heritage Square saw an ac tive and busy weekend. The two day event was packed, with a wide range of ven dors, events, activities, and people throughout the es pecially pleasant weather and welcoming atmosphere.

Between the busy schedule of daily events and the spe cial contests throughout, the weekend definitely showed off the kinds of things Sa maria is famous for.

Throughout the weekend, events included ice cream and butter churning, candle dipping, rope making, pony rides, fortune telling, leather working, cornhole, apple ci der pressing, pumpkin carv ing, wool spinning, black smithing, and more.

Neil and Kurt Davis, as well as Carson Pate and oth ers were on hand to demon strate a number of black smithing techniques. Luke Waldron had met them while working at a living history museum in Utah, and they

were more than happy to bring their range of demon strations up to the Malad Valley.

Pat Davis spent the week end spinning wool into skeins of yarn, which totaled several hundred yards worth by the end of the weekend,

spun on an old fashioned spinning wheel.

Over the course of the weekend, a number of mu sical acts graced the stage, from open mic sign ups to scheduled acts. A group of local singers called Ma’La dies, musician Melissa

Gibbs, the Teeples Family, a Barbershop Quartet, a String Quartet, and the Girls Trio all performed during the fes tival. Both nights featured a bonfire and marshmallow

PTO Carnival Brings the Ghouls out for October

Building on the mas sive success of last year’s PTO carnival, the Event Center was filled, inside and out, with kids, parents, teachers, and all manner of ghouls and ghosts to kick off the Fall Hal loween season. The event, which is the big gest fundraising event for the PTO during the year, brought in sever al thousand dollars for the organization. “We actually ran out of tick ets for the event,” Mel anie Coleman reported, “which is obviously an awesome problem to have!”

Despite the large number of attendees, which was believed to be the largest yet in the current form of the Carnival, the ex panded events in the outdoor areas and the balmy weather cre ated an environment that was busy, but not overly crowded.

“This has been a great event again,” Coleman stated, “and this time seems to work. We’re planning to continue the event the first week in Octo ber in the future.”

Not only is the event an excellent showcase for the creativity of the teachers and adminis

Angela Lansbury passes away at 96

American music, film, and TV star

Lansbury, most fa mous for her roles on the TV show “Murder, She Wrote” and her turn as the teapot on Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” was an iconic figure and voice for generations of the young and young at heart, as well as those who followed her pioneer ing exploits in what has now come to be known as the “cozy mystery” genre of crime solving dramas.

John Cena Smashes Guinness World Record – Granting 650 Wishes for Sick Children

American actor and WWE super star John Cena has set a new record for the most wishes granted through the Make-A-Wish Foun dation with 650. The Make-A-Wish Foundation helps fulfill the wishes of children who have been diag nosed with a critical illness. As the most wished-for celebrity, nobody else has ever granted more than 200 wishes in the 42-year exis tence of Make-A-Wish. Targeting children between the age of 2 and 18, they can choose to meet a ce lebrity, go to an event or even give a gift to someone else, and were “thrilled” to honor Cena as the man who has fulfilled the most wishes.

New Alzheimer's Drug Slows Mental Decline by 27%

In Trial Hailed as 'Most Encour aging to Date' American biotech company Biogen announced the results of a phase 3 clinical trial that showed a new Alzheimer’s drug slowed the rate of cognitive decline for early onset patients by 27%. The Alzheimer’s Association (AA) called the robust study of lecanemab, which is a monoclonal antibody designed to clear clumps of amyloid protein from the brain, “the most encouraging results in clinical trials treating the underlying causes of Alzheimer’s to date.”

The CEO at Eisai—the Japanese pharmaceutical company partner ing with Biogen—claims the results of the lecanemab study, named Clarity AD, “proves the amyloid hypothesis, in which the abnormal accumulation of Aβ in the brain is one of the main causes of Alzhei mer’s disease.”

Eisai believes these findings will create new horizons in the diagno sis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease as well as further activate innovation for new treatment options.

Larry Oja Responds

Dear Editor,

Thank you for the free speech forum. The three October 6, 2022 letters to editor were mostly positive. I would like to share some thoughts on each of these letters.

Anne Crowther, very good letter. The “wom an of principle and dis cernment" you refer to who had a lot to do with writing the Oneida County GOP by-laws mission statement de serves to be mentioned, Andee Parry, a wise woman.

In reference to the open meeting policy, I only recall one dissent ing vote on the motion to remove the incorrect code reference to open meeting law in the Oneida County GOP by laws. After I made a phone call to the Ida ho Attorney General’s Office and being told that the law only ap plied to government entities and not private

ones, I thought it best to remove the code reference but keep the open meeting policy in our by-laws. We still have an open meet ing policy. That never changed. Secretary, Jane Ann Ward’s mo tion to table another change was appropri ate. As with Anne, I am also thankful for the “voices of women.”

Mathew C Wray, an other very good let ter. I agree, the main stream media portrayal of Ammon Bundy is not accurate. He is a prin cipled man.

Mary Alice Telford, yes, we may all be hyp ocrites to one degree or another, some more than others! Perfection is not a human attri bute. Thank you for recognizing the Oneida GOP committee as Con stitutionalists! Would that all Republicans were! As for Loyalties and being who we say we are, my loyalties are: God, the source

of all truth. Family, the fundamental unit of society. Country, that recognizes my un alienable rights. Re publican Party and its platform that provides the means to participate and contribute to good government. However, I will always put prin ciple before party as history (WW2) shows what can happen when we put party before principle.

As for Republican signage, I have Lab rador signs left by his campaign, when he visited us, for any that would like them. Un fortunately, many can didates have not made it to our county yet. We have tried to help fel low Republicans find sources for signage for other Republican can didates. May I be clear in stating that I hope that everyone votes and votes their conscious at this and every election.

Ma’am, It’s Not

Dear Editor,

I am writing in re sponse to the letter sub mitted by Mary Alice Telford in the last edi tion of the Idaho Enter prise. This is a personal response, not associat ed with any political or other organization.

No Ma’am, the root of the trouble in Malad City (Oneida County) is not Politics, but human behavior. Intolerance and disrespect for oth er people’s choices and opinions always lead to trouble. Unity is never accomplished through criticism and public, personal attacks. They only lead to division.

The causes and cures of division all pivot on human dignity. If we can see and honor the dignity in ourselves and in those on “the other side,” we have a chance not only to avoid division, but to create enduring cooper ation between opposing

parties of opinion.

Donna Hicks, author of the book “Dignity,” has stated, “Dignity is the inherent worth that we all have from birth. Along with our survival instincts, the desire to be treated with dignity is the single most pow erful force motivating our behavior. Treating people with dignity means offering them care and attention, hearing what they’ve been through, learning about their lives and their hardships, giving them the benefit of the doubt – and never giv ing in to the urge to shame, demonize or ex clude them.”

The tendency of hu man behavior is to be lieve we’re acting for the good of all when we attack the “other side,” when, in fact, the more we attack the other side, the more we cause division.

It is just common de cency to do what we

can to stop violating the dignity of others. We all have the need to be treated with dignity. When we discover how easily we’re angered when our own digni ty is violated, then it becomes clearer to us how others feel when their dignity is threat ened.

We all perform more efficiently when we re ceive encouragement and support. When we are treated with dig nity, we can put aside our mistrust and come to the table with those of opposing views and civilly and respectfully come to resolution.

I would suggest that this battle of inflamma tory attacks be stopped and replaced with re spect for others, and treat all sides with dig nity.

PTO Carnival Brings the Ghouls out for October

tration of the school, but the sponsors who have been consistent at supporting the fundrais er over the years—from the time it was held in the school itself to its present, larger incarna tion.

“It feels like everyone in the world is there!” MES principal Sarah McIntyre said. “They [the PTO] do a great job, and it’s wonderful to see so many people come out for it.” In deed, from twenty min utes before the Carni val officially opened to well after its closing at 8:00, the Event center was buzzing with the happy shrieks of kids in full Halloween spirit, and the convivial con versation of their par ents. “The kids have such a great time,” McIntyre said. “It’s really just one of the events to look forward to during the year.”

Like all Halloween Carnivals, the event was designed around a mixture of games of chance, games of skill, and spooky attractions.

Once again, the MES teachers and local spon sors managed to create dozens of amazing ac tivities and events to keep everyone busy un til late after dark.

Inside the Event Cen ter, parents and students were able to mingle against the warming smell of Walking Ta cos and other food and drink while they par ticipated in a variety of games, from pitch and toss to face painting.

While Halloween is still several weeks in the fu ture, a good percentage of those in attendance were already decked out in their Halloween gear. Witches, super heroes, vampires, and all manner of costumed surprises filled the hall.

The indoor space of the Event Center was filled out with games

sponsored by Hess Lumber, the Oxford Peaks Arts Council, the Oneida Crisis Cen ter, Mrs. Schow’s Frog Flinger sponsored by Ihler Sales, Mr. Grove’s Plinko sponsored by Hess Pumice, Mrs. Al len’s Down a Clown sponsored by Ireland Bank, Mrs. Waldron’s Jack O’ Lantern Shoot Down sponsored by the Gym, Mrs. Bag ley’s Put-Put Pumpkin sponsored by Brower Law and Malad Mama, Mrs. T Jones’ Spinner Board sponsored by Nell J Redfield Memo rial Hospital, and Mrs. Weeks’ Lucky Ducks sponsored by Malad City and HBC.

Food was provided by the Iron Door Smoke house sponsored by Heidi and Jason Kim berling, Melanie and Brad Coleman, Pat and Kallie Werk Ranch, Wittman Farms, and Jeremy and Laura De Jong.

The move to the Event Center has al lowed the Carnival to expand in scope from its earlier confines in

the elementary school. Mini Madness, for in stance, provided minihorse draw wagon rides around the perimeter of the fairgrounds, while the open area allowed for a large Cookie Walk to take place through out the evening. The Spook House saw con sistent traffic as well, with some emerging from the smoky dark ness unaffected, and others making their way out screaming. A spot for selfies was made available and stayed busy all evening as families gathered up to document their season al group shots.

One of the recent additions to the Carni val was the large maze made from caution tape, which kept kids going in laughing circles at the show arena area of the fairgrounds. The maze was sponsored by the PTO and Horsley Funeral Home, which designed it for this year closer to the other events than last year’s straw maze. “It’s kind of out baby,” Melanie Coleman said. “It was

great!”

The outdoor space available at the Fair grounds allowed for some very popular events, including: Mrs. Crossley’s PickA-Pop sponsored by Mountain Valley Real ty, Mrs. Hawkes’ Pick Your Prize sponsored by J Peak Propane, Ms. Ipsen’s Fishing Pond sponsored by ATC, Mrs. Ball’s Pick Your Lock sponsored by Studio A Dance, Mrs. Reiss’ Clown Bean Bag Toss sponsored by Ireland Bank. Mrs. L. Jones’ Bubble Gum Toss sponsored by Last Mile Wireless, Mrs.

Brown’s Token Toss sponsored by Mountain States Insurance, Mrs. Blaisdell’s Luc “Key” sponsored by Defend Pest and Lawn and the Oenida County Library, the Spook Alley, spon sored by Brittany Don nan and Family, Mini horse cart rides spon sored by Mini Mad ness, Mrs. Langston’s Ring Toss sponsored by Thomas Market, Idaho Real Estate Group and Tiny Tots Daycare and Preschool, The Cook ie Walk sponsored by Lofthouse, Wittman Farms, Nell J Redfield Memorial Hospital, and the Maze sponsored by

the PTO.

The PTO hosts a number of fundrais ing events throughout the year, though this is by far the biggest and most important event of the year. Funds raised by the PTO are used throughout the year to support and sponsor a number of student ac tivities and programs.

The PTO is always grateful for the support of the community, espe cially for major events like this. “We always appreciate the support, and I want to thank peo ple for making this the biggest one yet!” Cole man said.

John (Jack) Arthur Servoss Jr., (90), passed away at the Oneida County Long Term Care Facility in Malad, Ida ho on October 10, 2022. Jack was born in Malad, Idaho on May 24, 1932. He was the first son to John Arthur Ser voss Sr. and Helen Irene Buck Servoss. Later the family was joined by a sister, Jean and a brother, Rick. He quickly became their confidante and mentor. They shared many adventures growing up, learned to work hard and play hard. Although life has taken them in differ ent directions and places, they have re mained close.

Educated at Malad High School and graduating in 1950, he was often seen cruising around in his blue convertible. He then attended Idaho State College in Pocatello, Idaho and studied diesel me chanics.

He married Mary Connie Jones on October 18, 1951. With that marriage came 3 children: Linda, Vickie and John. Jack and Connie were later di vorced. Growing up on a dry farm and a cattle ranch, he continued to teach his children the concept of hard work, but also made sure they had a good life and fun times.

Jack was literally a jack-of-all trades. He could do and fix anything. His first job away from the farm, after he was married, was working as a mechanic at Hillfield. Although he was a farm er at heart and spent most of his time farming in Arbon Valley and Malad, he also worked in various other jobs in the winter months. For about 4 winters he worked for Crowther Bros. Mill as a laborer and also drove trucks through out the western states. He then went to work as a mechanic at Jones Chevrolet and then for the Ford Garage. He spent five winters working for Magic Gas Propane. His last winter job was work ing for U&I Sugar Factory in Garland, Utah. During his second year there, he was trained to be the assistant chemist in the lab. This knowledge and experience helped him immensely when in 1979 he was employed by Thiokol Corp. as a chemist.

On December 4, 1976 he married Janice Mione Benson. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Brigham City Temple. There were three more children added to the family – Vivian, Vincent, and Deidre.

Jack and Janice eventually moved to Tremonton and Jack started his career at Thiokol. During his many years at Thiokol, he received numerous awards for his suggestions, performance, and quality. He also traveled to various places to inspect the testing sites and of fer suggestions to improve production, cost and safety. It was a sad day when he announced his retirement in 1995. However, I am not sure the word “re

tirement” has ever been in his vocabu lary because he continued to work odd jobs and help whenever he could, even at 90 years old.

His entire life was defined in service to his community and to his family. He served on the Oneida County Fair Board for 4 years and was chairman 3 of those 4 years. He was also a charter member of the Oneida County Search and Res cue and served as quarter master.

He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His favorite calling was a scoutmaster in the Malad 2nd Ward. Jack was very in strumental in his son getting his Eagle Scout Award.

He is survived by his children: Linda (Mike) Isaacson, Vickie (Greg) Lamb, John (Michelle) Servoss, stepchildren: Vivian, Vincent, Deidre, a sister Jean (Ted) Andra, a brother Rick (Connie) Servoss and lots of grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchil dren, as well as many nieces and neph ews.

Jack was preceded in death by his wife, Janice, and his parents, 2 neph ews, a great nephew, and a great great granddaughter.

There are really no words that can de scribe or even honor our dad. He was a gentle giant among men. He was soft spoken and humble. His sense of hu mor and witty personality knew no lim its. Dad was never known to have idle hands. Even in his latter years, he was either putting puzzles together, moving from town to town, or even just apart ment to apartment in the same complex.

Dad, our hearts are literally broken, but realize you have gone home to be with loved ones. We already feel a tre mendous loss and you will remain in our hearts forever!

The family would like to express their appreciation to the Nell J. Redfield Hos pital staff and the Oneida County LongTerm Care staff for their amazing care, as well as Horsley Funeral Home.

A private family service was held at Horsley Funeral Home on October 12, 2022, at 11:00 AM. Burial was at the Malad Cemetery.

MES Visits the Fire Station

October is Fire Safe ty month, and each year Malad Elementary School’s kindergarten, first, and second graders students make their way down to the Fire Station to get a close up look at what emergency re sponders do, learn a bit more about fire safety, and of course, use the firehose.

The tour is divided up into three main sec tions: fire safety, learn ing about the trucks and equipment, and handson fun. A large crew of the county’s firefighters were on hand to take the students through a range of fire fighting activi ties.

Jason Schwartz and Chet Palmer were a couple of the firemen on hand to talk through fire safety with the ea ger young learners. The presentation started with a typical range of questions about how to handle the types of situ ations kids are routinely exposed to.

“What do you do if you find a lighter?” Schwartz asked. “Tell an adult!” a chorus of voic es shot back. “Good! What do you do if you see a fire?” Schwartz followed up. “Call 911!” Another chorus shouted back. The back and forth continued on with clear answers about the importance of estab lishing a family meeting spot, keeping fire extin guishers up to date, and making sure everyone in a house knew the proce dures for fire escapes.

The students were then led the various equipment used by fire fighters on their jobs.

“We wear these masks because too much smoke will hurt you,” Schwartz said, as Potter demon strated the equipment. “These coats are made out of a special fireproof material that keeps us safe, but it weighs a lot. These boots are also pretty heavy, but they are made so that if you step on something like a nail, it isn’t going to go through into your foot.”

The conversation made its way to indi vidual techniques for fire suppression. “What do you do if a campfire catches you on fire?” Schwartz asked. Af ter some prodding, the class responded with “Stop, drop and roll!” “That’s right,” Schwartz said. “The most import ant thing to do is stop. Don’t freak out. If you keep calm you’ll be able

to get it out.”

The question and an swer period led to a lot of questions about whether the fire fight ers themselves had ever caught on fire, whether milk could be used to put out fires, and what the biggest fires they had seen were.

“I’m not sure about that,” Schwartz said, “but we did have a pret ty big one just a cou ple weeks ago north of town.” Two fires near the summit erupted over the last months, burning a number of acres. Luckily, no peo ple of structures were endangered by the fires, though they both came close to damaging prop erty. The fires were only extinguished with the support and work of multiple agencies and volunteers, including those there at the fire station.

Next up was the train ing course, which in cluded a maze, and the firehose. The Fire Sta tion has constructed a long plywood “alley” with a tangle of ropes and other obstacles to simulate a cluttered in terior space firefight ers might be required to crawl through in full gear. The course is ac tually designed to allow responders to practice removing and re-equip ping their external tanks and gear in order to en ter restricted spaces, and then to navigate confined spaces. Many students took the oppor tunity to try the course with the heavy turnouts. While the experience was all smiles and gig gles for the students, they also remarked on

how difficult the experi ence was. “I could nev er do this fast!” one stu dent said. “It just takes practice,” the supervis ing firefighter smiled.

Students were also introduced to the city’s main Fire Truck, as well as a number of its tools and features. The city has a full bay of trucks, designed to respond to a variety of situations. The fastest trucks are generally those used to respond to brush fires and small flare-ups. These trucks are more nimble than the larger city trucks, and allow firefighters to respond in a large number of different environments.

The largest trucks care designed for primarily structure fires, and boast large capacities for wa ter, up to 7,000 gallons on board, with a number of mechanism for uti lizing fire hydrants and even local water sources such as lakes. An inflat able pool can be placed next to the city’s largest truck in order for air borne fire suppression vehicles to draw water from. Most of the coun ty’s firefighting vehicles have been purchased through grants or spe cial programs that pro vide decommissioned military vehicles to mu nicipalities and county organizations at little or no cost.

The trucks themselves contain a number of fire fighting implements that students found fascinat ing, from the tools used to break into locked doors, attics and oth er inaccessible areas to person protective equip ment and the trucks’ ar ray of sirens and lights.

Other than being giv en the chance to sound the trucks’ sirens, the highlight of the tour for many kids was the chance to try their hand at aiming and firing the firehose. A metal target that swings vertically on a pivot was used as a simulated hotspot, and students were tasked with causing it to spin by aiming consistently at a “fire” atop the arm of the device. Even those students who were at first cautious quickly took to it, and even tried to line back up for sec onds.

“I do believe that’s the most fun part of the tour,” Justin Schwartz said. “And I get it—it is fun!”

The overall point, of course, is helping raise awareness among stu dents about the reality and danger of fire. Ev ery year, wildland fires are responsible for the

destruction of millions of acres across the Unit ed States. This year, Idaho was ranked the state with the most ac tive acres of wildfires for two consecutive months. Many of these fires were the result of human causes, and potentially could have been prevented by more

vigilance. House fires across the state are re sponsible for many de stroyed structures and the unfortunate loss of life. The hope is that students with increased vigilance and awareness of the potential dangers of fire situations might decrease those numbers.

Ferris and Sharon Hess

Ferris and Sharon Hess will mark a great milestone in their lives this Sat urday, October 15th . . . they will have been married for 70 years. They were married in Malad City, Idaho, where they still reside today, on October 15th, 1952. Their marriage was later solem nized in the Logan, Utah LDS Temple on March 29, 1965.

Ferris and Sharon are the same age, at tended school together, and hung around in the same crowds, but never dated until after high school. Following their wed ding, they went on their honeymoon to Bryce Canyon in southern Utah, with only $80 in their pocket. They debated on whether to go or not, but they went for four days and returned with $40 to start their lives together. It wasn’t long after their marriage that their family be gan to grow, and they eventually had five children.

Ferris worked his whole life in the construction business, first with his fa ther, then with Hess Bros. Construction, and finally going on his own in the latter part of his career. Sharon worked vari ous jobs to help supplement the family income, including the hospital, babysit ting, ironing, working at the telephone office, Allen Drug, and Hess Lumber,

Most of their early married life was spent on the ball field or in the gym. Ferris played on three different ball teams in the summers and then played on various basketball teams in the win ter. Sports were a big part of their lives and it continued to be as they enjoyed following and supporting their children, grandchildren, and now great grand children. Ferris loved hunting and the outdoors, and they both enjoyed going on rides and picnics in the local canyons with their family.

In their retirement years they stayed active and enjoyed doing things togeth er. They have been on cruises and trips with special friends and took several motorcycle trips. Ferris still enjoys get ting out for a ride on his 4-wheeler with

friends. Ferris has used his construction skills to help friends with projects and they both have given back to the com munity through sharing their talents and life skills.

Ferris and Sharon are faithful mem bers of the LDS church and have both served in many callings throughout their lives. Their dedication to one another and their family can be a great example to everyone, especially their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

The couple have five children: Greg Hess, Sid Hess, Kim (Lee) Hess, Teresa (Phil) Runkel, and Todd (Cheryl) Hess, 17 grandchildren, and 30 great-grand children.

Malad’s Raegan Smith Named 1st Alternate to State

Raegan Smith, daugh ter of Dustin and Chris tine Smith, was named the first alternate for the 2023 DYW competition, held in Idaho Falls over the weekend. Raegan won Malad’s competi tion earlier this year with an impressive display of talent, poise, and aca demic accomplishments.

DYW is a program that seeks to recognize those individuals who have dedicated themselves to personal achievement and accomplishment in all areas of their lives.

The competition, which featured over thirty con testants from across the state, involves a review of accomplishments through academics, school clubs, and extra curricular activities, as well as a series of live interviews and talent and fitness demonstrations. The resulting finalists are truly among the most ex ceptional young women in the state.

As DYW Chair Ni cole Daniels explains, “Raegan was absolutely

amazing! The audience and judges loved Rae gan because she was able to let them see her fun, out-going personality. Raegan changed lives when she was on stage this weekend because she taught the audience about confidence and positive body image. Af ter the performance was over, the crowds were swarming Raegan with tears in their eyes letting her know how she had touched their hearts.”

Smith is both an ac complished musician and academician, which, along with the interview, are the major compo nents of the competition.

As a smaller compo nent of the competition, DYW also has an eight minute fitness compo nent. “Fitness was not easy for her and she could easily beat up on herself,” Nicole Daniels said. “But instead, she did her best and during her self-expression on stage question, she spoke highly of her body.” In the end, the judges decid

ed that Raegan deserved the first alternate (or second place) position for the contest, which is an extremely prestigious showing in the state wide contest.

“Raegan represented Malad so well with her talents and charisma. I look forward to the im pact she will continue to have on the youth in Malad and the world!” Daniels said.

Raegan herself was characteristically hum ble about the impressive accomplishment. “I was honored to be able to represent my community and my school. I met the most amazing girls and am so grateful for this once in a lifetime oppor tunity. I became friends with 32 of the most ed ucated, determined, am bitious, and empowering young women in Idaho.

I am so grateful for the support from our com munity,” she said.

In total, Raegan was awarded $4,550 for her achievements in the competition.

One of the perks of living in Small Town USA is getting to help with lots of hometown projects. I lend my hand at the Pioneer Museum, and that place is a trea sure. Whenever I attend a meeting or spend time checking out artifacts, I come away with a re newed appreciation for who we are and the lega cy that is ours.

There are two un opened Aero Club Beer bottles in one of the dis play cases in the muse um. I’ve noticed them and heard the story be

fore, but while gathering uniforms and artifacts to display in the windows the story connected in a significant way. Friends, Janice Vaughan, Sha ron Harris and Hailey Sweeten, were helping when Sharon suggested we use the beer bottles.

Friends, Gene Cald well and George Alger, brought uniforms by. Friend, Sherrie Evans, told me her dad’s uni form was from WWII. Friends. So, here’s the story of the beer bottles and friends.

Glen Vaughan and John Erramouspe were raised in Malad, Idaho.

They were friends and both served in WWII. The night before they left for the War, they had a beer together. They each put another beer on a shelf to drink together when they got back from the War. John was killed in France on 11/11/44. When Glen came home, he never opened either bottle, in memory of his friend.

The Good Life is filled with friends who make sacrifices and are loy al. That legacy is ours. Here’s to friends!

Four Malad veterans were recently excited and proud to be a part of the Veterans Honor Flight sponsored by Nu cor Steel and Utah Hon or Flight. Honor Flights are dedicated to trans porting as many United States military veterans as possible to Wash ington D.C., especially world War ll veterans, to see war memorials, mu seums and other points of interest at no cost to the veteran.

To help with the fund ing for the Utah Honor Flight, about 40 workers from the Nucor Steel plant in Utah, calling themselves the "Steel Warriors", organized to help fund two flights for the Utah Honor Flight. John Pierce, one of the organizers, said that "They are just a bunch of employees passion ate about helping vets," he himself a veteran of the Korean conflict. The employees conducted fundraisers through out the year to send 50 veterans to Washington D.C. Two flights, each flight with 25 veterans on board and a guardian, plus the cost of three days in D.C. cost ap proximately $25,000 to $50,000 each, according to Pierce and Utah Hon or Flight volunteers. In cluded in the September 21 through 23 group were Samuel (Old) Monte Thomas, Earl Gillies, Gary Jacobson and Doug Corgatelli.

Halloween decorating ideas

Halloween brings out the kid in most of us. The air starts to cool, pumpkins appear on grocery store shelves, and before you know it, you’ve turned your front porch into a mad scientist’s lab. Whether you throw a Halloween bash, or just want to im press the neighborhood trick-or-treaters with your haunted mansion, you can decorate on a budget for Halloween.

CEMETERY

To create your haunt ed cemetery, cut differ ent shapes out of card board and paint them to look like aging tomb stones. Once they dry, you can arrange them on the lawn to look like a miniature graveyard.

HAUNTED TREES

You can use ov en-baked clay to give the trees spooky faces. Simply create a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth for each tree, and attach them to the trunks.

Place a portable radio or speakers near the tree and play your favorite eerie soundtrack to draw even more attention to your haunted trees.

REUSABLE

JACK O’LANTERNS

Artificial pumpkin can be purchased from any hobby store. Use an Exacto knife to carve a small hole in the bottom of the pumpkin, and to create a design on the front. After you finish the design, use a small piece of sandpaper to gently sand down any rough edges. Place a small flashlight or electric candle in the bottom to make your design glow, and pop your Jack o’ Lantern on the front porch.

COFFIN COOLER

With a little imagi nation, and some wood and nails, you can create your own life-sized cof fin, which you can use in a dozen different ways, such as a cooler to hold

drinks for an outdoor party, as a gravedigger scene, a spooky plant er or as a table during a party.

For Halloween, use the coffin to strike fear into the hearts of your neighbors, by hiding someone inside, who pops out from time to time to spook the older trick-or-treaters.

GIANT SPIDERS

Spiders fit right into a spooky Halloween theme. You can trans form a few black trash bags into a giant spider that fits on your front porch, or up in a tree. You can also make mul tiple giant spiders and cluster them across the front and sides of your home.

By using nine trash bags and stuffing them with newspaper, you can make a spider’s body and eight legs. Use a glue gun to secure the legs to the body, and the bottom of Styrofoam cups can be glued onto the body to make eyes.

GHOST-LIT WALKWAY

If you have a collec tion of milk jugs in your recycling bin, you can create a ghost-lit walk way that your trick-ortreaters will love. Look online to get inspira tions for designing your ghosts’ faces.

Make ghost faces for each jug by cutting out a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth from black construction paper. Turn the jug so that the han

dle faces the back and place an artificial candle inside.

FLOATING HANDS

Clear plastic gloves make great severed hands.

Fill a plastic glove with tissue paper, pop corn, or small shredded paper waste, or you can fill them with freshly mixed Jello for jiggly, realistic-feeling hand.

Tie the open end of the glove with a clear elastic band to secure its con tents. You can also fill these hands with candy corn to create Hallow

een-themed treat bags.

If you have the Hal loween spirit, but you also have a budget, you can decorate your house from top to bottom without spending a lot of money. If you enjoy doing crafts, you prob ably have most of these supplies already lying around the house. But even if you don’t, you can buy everything you need for less than a hun dred dollars. In addition, you can store many of these decorations, and continue to use them to scare and delight your friends and family every year.

FALL COLORS THE VALLEY

As temperatures start their inexorable slide toward winter, trees near the summit are already on their way to their fall shades. While the forecast holds fairly steady for the next few weeks in the mid 70s during the daytime hours, they are also slated to be close to freezing over night. So be warned, Malad, the winter is coming!

When to divide perennials

Discover one way to keep your perennial gar den in tiptop shape—by dividing plants. Many gardeners only think about dividing plants when they want to mul tiply their botanical hold ings. After all, dividing a plant yields several plants where once you had one. But dividing accomplishes more than providing a low-cost source for plants. For mature perennials, divid ing is an important way to maintain plant health.

As perennial gardens mature, individual plant clumps increase in size and flower number. That’s one of the exciting parts of tending peren nials: watching the gar den change through the years. For many perenni als, aging can take a toll on plant health and vig or. For other perennials, maturity brings on such a substantial increase in size that plants begin to jostle and even invade one another. Dividing corrals the chaos of ev er-growing clumps and also renews aging plants.

The vast majority of perennials need divid ing roughly every three to five years to maintain plant vigor. Some, like garden mums, blanket flower and asters, need division more frequent ly—every one or two years. Others, like peo ny, bleeding heart and

Fall

butterfly weed, rarely demand division and are best left alone.

It’s possible to catego rize perennials based on how often they typically need division, but those timelines assume plants are growing in ideal con ditions. Keep your own perennial garden in out standing shape by learn ing to recognize the signs that a perennial needs di vided.

A perennial that stops flowering or produces flowers that are much smaller than normal is a candidate for division. You might witness this situation in coreopsis or bearded iris. For other perennials, the clue that it’s time to divide is that the center of the clump dies out, and new growth occurs only on the outer edge of the clump. Many perennials eventually reach this state if ne glected. Others, includ ing yarrow, lamb’s ear and black-eyed Susan, typically develop this growth pattern in just a few years.

Another clue to watch for is bottom leaves be coming fewer and fewer, while growth occurs only at stem tips. In this situa tion, stems might also be very crowded within the clump. Watch for this in perennials like tall gar den phlox or bee balm. For other taller plants, including taller types of

sedum and campanula, as clumps become over crowded, stems may be come floppy.

The best time to divide perennials depends on what perennial you’re dividing and where you garden. A general rule of thumb is to divide peren nials after they flower.

Tackle spring-blooming perennials in fall and fall bloomers in spring. Some perennials, like iris and peony, are best divided in early fall. Most ornamen tal grasses do best when divided in early spring.

Time fall dividing so new plants are in the ground at least six weeks before your region’s av erage frost date. In colder zones, many gardeners tackle dividing in early spring, just as shoots are breaking ground. An ide al situation is when soil temperature is warm er than air temperature. This encourages root growth while discourag ing fast top growth.

Probably the safest time to divide is when you know you can pro vide necessary care for newly planted perennials. These young transplants need adequate water un til their root systems are established. Try to tack le dividing before your region’s rainy season, if temperatures permit.

Apple Picking

apart,

with

For the Apple Filling 2 medium size apples, cut into small chunks

1/3 cup butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

For the Dough 2 1/2-3 cups flour

1 tablespoon instant yeast

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/3 cup sugar

1 cup warm water

For the Caramel Sauce

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup salted butter 1/2 cup cream

1 tsp vanilla

For the Glaze

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 1/3 cup cream

1/2 teaspoon vanilla Instructions

1. Preheat oven at 400 F. Begin by making the apple filling. After cutting the apples into small chunks, melt butter in a 12-inch, cast iron skil let. Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat 7-10 minutes, until ap ples soften and cook most the way through. Remove from heat.

2. To make the dough, combine 1 cup flour and the yeast in a bowl, set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, place, salt, vegetable oil, sugar, water, and the yeast mixed with one cup flour. Mix until it begins to come together. Gradually add the remaining flour. After you have added the initial 1 cup mixed with the yeast, you will likely need the re maining 1 1/2 cups. However, if the dough is still too sticky, add the re maining 1/2 cup of flour, only adding a couple tablespoons at a time. Do NOT use more than 3 cups of flour. I usually need a little more than the initial 2 1/2 cups, but rarely need an entire 1/2 cup after that. Just add a little at a time to avoid adding too much flour. Shape dough into a ball, place in a large bowl, and let rest in a warm place for ten minutes.

3. While the dough is resting, place all the caramel sauce ingredients

into a medium sized saucepan. You can turn the heat on low to begin melting the ingredients, but don't let it cook or boil yet. You will do that while the dough is in the oven. (Stir ring the caramel sauce as it boils is a full-time job.)

After the dough has rested, remove it from the bowl and cut into bite-size chunks, about 35-40 pieces. Place in the skillet and toss gently into the apple filling ingredients with a rubber spatula. Bake about 15 minutes or until the top begins to brown and the dough is cooked through.

4. Turn up the heat on the caramel sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Boil rapidly 7-10 minutes, or until desired consistency is reached. You will have to stir the entire time. Remove from heat. I like to set in the freezer on a hot pad for about 10 minutes to cool down a little bit.

5. To make the glaze, whisk togeth er the powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla. Add more or less cream until desired consistency is reached.

Drizzle about 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce and most of the glaze on top of the pull apart bread. We like to add extra caramel sauce and glaze to our individual servings, because if you add too much caramel and glaze in the skillet, the pull apart bread in the skillet will become sog gy. Serve with ice cream if desired.

Flavors of Fall

A warm fall dessert that pairs perfectly with ice cream.

12 oz evaporated milk

15 oz canned pumpkin puree

4 eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar, divided 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 box yellow or spice cake mix (we really liked the yellow)

1 cup toffee bits

1 cup coarsely chopped pecans (optional) *

1 cup butter, melted

1.Preheat oven at 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 pan. Whisk togeth er the evaporated milk, pumpkin, eggs, granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Place in prepared pan.

2. Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the top of the pumpkin mix ture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, then toffee bits, and end with the chopped pecans (if using). Pour melted butter over the top.

3. Bake 50-60 minutes, until the top is lightly browned, and the middle has set. Serve warm and top with ice cream and caramel sauce, if desired. We really loved it with the caramel! We thought this recipe was best fresh. I wouldn't let it sit more than a day or two after baking, so if you will only get through a small batch, cut the recipe in half! Refrigerate leftovers.

Chocolate Scarecrow Bars are a crunchy treat mixed with the flavor combination of chocolate and pea nut butter.

1 box devil's food cake mix

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla, divided

3 cups mini marshmallows

1/2 cup corn syrup

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

2/3 cup peanut butter

2 cups rice crispy cereal

1 cup almonds OR peanuts (I used slivered almonds)

1 cup candy corn

Preheat oven at 350 degrees F. Combine cake mix, melted butter, egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Mix well. Press into a greased 9x13 pan and bake 10-12 minutes or until set.

Remove pan from the oven and sprinkle marshmallows over top of the cake/brownie layer. Move the oven rack closer to the top of the oven and bake bars an additional 1-2 minutes, until the marshmallows begin to puff up.

As soon as you pull the bars out of the oven, begin working on the top

layer. Do not let the marshmallows cool, or the topping will not attach to the bars and when cut, the top layer will come apart from the bottom. Combine corn syrup, brown sugar, sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stirring frequently, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then remove from heat. Add peanut butter and mix until fully incorporat ed. Add rice crispy cereal, nuts, and candy corn. Mix well. Place mixture over top of the marshmallow layer. I found it easiest to drop it on top in tablespoon size heaps and then pressed the mixture together. Cool completely before serving. Enjoy!

A tasty Halloween drink with a cream soda base, mixed with homemade caramel, and topped with whipped cream.

1 1/2 cup cream, divided

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons water

4 tablespoons butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

2 liter bottle of cream soda

Place 1 1/4 cup of the cream and powdered sugar together and whip until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Combine brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook for one minute and remove from heat. Stir in the butter, salt, apple cider vinegar, and remain ing 1/4 cup of cream. Let cool to room temperature. I like to place it in the freezer a few minutes to quicken the cooling.

To prepare for serving, place 8-12 oz of cream soda in a glass (I prefer to only drink 8 oz at a time

as it is a pretty filling drink with the caramel and the cream). Pour 3-4 tablespoons of the caramel mixture into the cream soda and stir. Top with the whipped cream and drizzle with a little extra sauce if desired, for garnish. Enjoy!

Biennial and perennial weed control

best

fall

Fall is an excellent time to manage bienni al and perennial weeds.

Some biennials are much easier to kill while they are in the rosette stage of growth and pri or to surviving a winter.

Once they start growth in the spring, they rapid ly develop with the goal of reproducing and it be comes more difficult to control them.

As you have heard many times before, late summer and fall is the best time to control most perennials with a sys temic herbicide because herbicides are moved into the root systems al lowing better control. In general, the application window runs from ear ly September through October depending on where you are located and what weeds you are targeting. Cool-season perennials like Canadi an thistle, quackgrass, and dandelion can be effectively controlled after several light frosts.

With both biennial and perennials species, ad equate leaf tissue must be present and it should be reasonably healthy to absorb the herbicide.

Important considerations:

Make sure that the fo liage on the weeds ap pears relatively healthy and capable of absorb ing the herbicide spray. Plants that have been damaged by insect feed ing, drought, harvest equipment, frost, or au tumn leaf senescence are not good candidates for fall applications. So, if that weed you have been dealing with during sea son is still standing and the leaves and stems are not too tattered after har vest, then there is still a great chance to control it yet this fall. Make sure to use adequate herbi cide rates, high spray volumes, and get good spray coverage over the plant for effective kill.

Favorable air tempera

tures should be a con sideration immediately before, during, and after application. In gener al, the warmer the bet ter, with daytime high temperatures in the mid 50s at a minimum. Cold nights and cool, cloudy days will reduce and slow the effectiveness of the applications. The more active the weeds are growing, the better the herbicide perfor mance.

Farming in the Digital Age

By Allison Eliason

Farming and ranching certainly has a different look to it than those first homesteaders could have ever imag ined. The tractors we drive, the genet ics we shape, the nutrition we provide, the yields we produce and the means to analyze it all, prove just how far this industry has come.

But what a turn agriculture has tak en as social media has entered the scene. Apps like Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram were initially designed to keep friends and family connected digitally. Updates of a few sentences with a picture or videos were the quiet norm until it wasn’t. As cell phones turned to smart phones and social media wasn’t lim ited to a desktop computer at home, sharing and connecting in the moment became a whole new adventure and social media has never been the same.

With so many users online, busi nesses large and small turned to social media for marketing and advertising. It was the perfect way to connect with consumers without them ever hav ing to step into their stores or search out their services. Even farmers and ranchers took advantage of the rela tively cheap strategy that seemed to have endless possibilities.

This gave the opportunity for a whole new means of selling products for farmers and ranchers. Advertising and selling via social media bridged the gap between farmers markets and the supermarkets. Suddenly farmers could sell their cuts not only to their neighbors down the road, but to fans across the country.

The convergence of agriculture and social media will have forever changed the perspective and connec tion between producers and consum ers, hopefully, for the better. Obvi ously, it helps farmers and ranchers reach more people than they ever could before, a definite win for the ag community.

Five Mary Farms in Northern Cali fornia has dramatically grown through their use of social media. What start ed out as a fun adventure for the fam ily of six, has grown into an operation where they raise, harvest, and market their own beef, sheep and pork. In addition to their ranch, they own a restaurant where they serve their own home grown meats. The growth of their business has led to a ranch based homeschool curriculum, cookbooks, and courses teaching other producers how to make the same growth with their small businesses.

Meredith with “This Farm Wife” lives in Georgia and chronicles her family's farm life. The real life south ern charm she shares has connected farmers and non farmers alike in a community of fans. While she doesn’t market their crops to sell online, she

The Malad Middle School 7th grade vol leyball team complet ed their 2022 season as the 2A/1A 5th District Volleyball Champions! They entered the tour nament as the #3 seed and started out play ing the #4 seed, Soda Springs. Malad made quick work of Soda by beating them in two sets 25-14 & 25-15.

After beating Soda this paired them up with the #2 seed and host, Grace. After jumping out to a quick lead in set one and looking to win pretty easily, errors and strug gles allowed Grace to make a comeback and push the set to extra points, where Malad pulled it out 26-24. In set two, Grace used the momentum from the end of set one to propel them to a 25-17 victory. This pushed the match to a third and deciding

has developed an online retail store of her favorites from T-shirts to towels.

The Ballerina Farm in the moun tains of Utah has taken off, beginning by simply shipping a few cuts of pork here and there, to a full scale opera tion that sells not only pork but beef, dehydrated sourdough, kitchen tools, and even fresh cut garden flowers, truly demonstrating the power social media has to market a farmers prod ucts.

In addition to the advertising of individual farm and ranch products, social media has allowed us to better educate and connect with people that have become so far removed from where their food comes from- anoth er sure win. Over the years, it has a space for farmers and ranchers to tell their story for an ever more curious generation of consumers.

Agvocates like Brandi Buzzard in Kansas and Terryn Drieling of Ne braska, use their platforms to pro mote the good of agriculture and fight against the myriad of misconceptions out there. As farmers and ranchers have been blamed for things like cli mate change and obesity, women such these two, prove with real facts just how that isn’t true. Brandi Buzzard has appeared several times on the To day Show, discussing, of all things, how cow farts do not lead to global warming. Terryn Drieling lives in the Sandhills of Nebraska and uses expe riences on her own ranch to demon strate how cattle actually help habitats to thrive rather than merely survive.

It's a new day and age, with com puters in practically everyone’s pock et. In just a few clicks, you can be immersed in the day to day happen ings on farm operations in California, Georgia, Utah, Kansas or Nebraska. What began as a means for simple connection with friends and family far away, agriculture has the means to connect with anyone around the world. There can be a lot of bad on social media, but in the right hands with the right intentions, social media can be a force for good in the agricul ture industry.

set to see who would move on in the tourna ment. Usually the third set is only played to 15, however it had been decided by the host school that during the tournament the third set would be played to 25 just like the other sets.

The third set was back and forth between the teams, with both teams going on runs at differ ent times. Malad was the first to 15 and then pulled away in the end to win the match at 2518.

This win put Malad in the championship match against the #1 seed, West Side. This was another back and forth match throughout the first two sets, with each team winning one set and setting up the third and decisive set. Again this set was played to 25 instead of 15 for the tournament.

After the hard fought

third set which went to extra points Malad came out on top win ning the match, 25-17, 25-18, & 26-24. This win finished off their season and made them the District Champi ons!!!

Coach Ty Price shard, "I’m proud of the girls for coming out in the tournament and playing really good volleyball all day. We have had a bit of a rocky season, with lots of ups and downs throughout the year, and not as many wins as we had hoped for or that we were ca pable of winning. They came together in the end though and showed just how good they could be.

“They had never beaten either West Side or Grace during the season and they were really feeling like they couldn't beat them, yet they were very capable

of doing that. I really tried to keep them fo cused during the tour nament on believing

in themselves and be ing confident in their ability that they could compete with those

teams. They did that and pulled together as a team and finished strong!"

Building Permits

Four building per mits were issued in September in the coun ty: one single-family home building permit, and several for other structures. Building In spector Tory Richard son raised the need to discuss carports with out foundations in the future. Rhonda Neal explained that she had spoken with other coun ties about “portable” buildings, and the com mission determined to look into how they ap plied to the new devel opement code.

Review of City Impact Zone

Jaime Olsen was not available to discuss the proposed impact zone map, though the coordi nation between the city and the county over the exact boundaries of the impact zone has been ongoing for several months as the two enti tites work toward a co hesive updated bound ary map.

Comprehensive Yearly Plan

It was noted that there was significant infor mation in the Compre hensive Yearly Plan that needed to be updated to account for the rele

vant changes in the new Development Code. A workshop on the CYP itself was suggested, which would allow for both the public and the commission to be brought more fully up to speed to the effects of recent changes to the comprehensive strategy for growth and develop ment planning.

Need for Public Workshop—Rhon

da Neal Neal has had requests from the public for in formation resources from the PZ commis sion. Several ideas were presented about expand ing the available materi als on the county’s web site, as well as potential in-person workshops for people with ques tions about some of the more frequently asked questions surrounding the county’s new de velopment code. The commissioners felt that a public forum of that sort would be helpful, as they have all expe rienced questions from the public, but were not sure about what sort of schedule and platform would be most useful and feasible. The hope was to involve the coun ty’s engineer, as well

as other individuals with specific, practical knowledge of the devel opment code. The com mission would like to be able to respond to some of the more common ly asked questions in a more responsive pub lic forum as the county becomes more familiar with the implications of the new regulations now in place regarding building and develop ment. The discussion was moved forward to next month’s scheduled meeting.

Code Items to be reviewed for amendment Consideration of Zoning Areas

Rhonda Neal report ed that she had heard from people who were in the middle of projects when the Development code had changed. Lo ren Ward spoke to the commission about the potential purchase of a property off Exit 17 to be converted into a new RV park. The land is currently zoned ag ricultural as a result of the default zoning of the new development code. The question was whether the property owner would need to request a rezoning per

mit, or the PZ would recommend referring it directly to the Board of County Commission ers. Josh Paskett noted that PZ had considered rezoning that specific area during earlier dis cussions of the zoning map. The Commission discussed the potential value of rezoning the area itself, rather than just the limited proper ty, as commercial, rath er than agricultural. The commission expressed that “What makes sense for this area?” was the question that should be asked for these types of rezoning question.

As the discussion continued with further examples, the question became whether fol lowing the application process or going to the county commissioners was the more efficient way to handle rezoning requests for the specif ic requests under dis cussion. A business off Highway 38, which is grandfathered in under the new code, would like to add a building, for instance, which would change its des ignation. The question was whether to change the property’s zoning to Commercial, or make it a conditional use ex

ception on an Agricul tural zone. Conditions were added to include a number of automotive additions. The commis sion will recommend that Ag zoned land can apply for conditional uses inclusive of some of the activities of the truck repair business.

Similarly, individual use permitting based on the specific needs of the properties was discussed as a process PZ might use with the Board of County Com missioners to expedite the rezoning process, which in some instances can be very time-con suming.

Another resident had purchased property near Cherry Creek. She plans to use the proper ty to build a combina tion residence and print shop. After the change of the Development code, home-based busi nesses are no longer al lowed on agriculturally zoned land. However, the commission looked at adding home busi ness exceptions to the conditional use allow ances for Ag zones.

A potential major subdivision on the bor der, north of Portage, has been proposed with up to 75 houses on 80

acres. An application for a rezone of the quar ter sections has been submitted. The poten tial growth implications of a substantial subdivi sion so far from estab lished utilities and re sources were discussed.

A discussion was held about whether the com prehensive plan is de signed to avoid creating small new townsite or encourage growth clos er to existing services.

Ultimately, the PZ is hoping to add some of the uses which were raised during these ear ly requests to the over all allowable condition al uses for agriculture zones, in order to be able to more directly respond to a variety of new development re quests.

Overall, the meeting seemed to portend the kinds of questions the PZ commission is like ly to encounter in the future, and demonstrat ed how they are poten tially going to try to make a way forward to streamline these kinds of questions in the fu ture.

Many of the is sues result from density requirements, ag zones, and subdivision con cerns.

FCCLA Fundraiser

By McKenzie Leckie

After their loss in Malad several weeks ago, the Pirate volley ball team made it clear that they would be com ing for the Lady Drag ons when the two team would face off again in West Side. The two teams finally met again Wednesday, October 5, to battle across the net, each team playing with grit and determination in hope of bringing home the win.

From the very first serve, the game was intense, each team pull ing out big plays and great saves. The rallies would go on for sever al plays as the players on both sides of the net managed to keep the ball alive.

In the first set, West Side sent a tough jump serve over to the Dragons where Brylee Oglesbee in center back passed it up to setter Adley Kimberling who set Riglee Petersonup for an outside hit. West Side dug the hit and at tacked from the outside where Abby Rosenquist and Izzy Haycock met them with a block. The Pirate hitter couldn’t get the ball past the block but managed to get it across the net. As the ball came down between the blockers

MALAD GOES TO STATE DYW

By Beth McClain

On October 2nd, Rae gan Smith went to Idaho Falls to compete with thirty-two other Distin guished Young Women from Idaho. The first three days the chore ographers taught them fitness, self-expression, and opening numbers.

$1. Besides selling cin namon rolls the FCCLA members also sold hot chocolate the cold fall night during the football game. It was a huge suc cess for everyone.

Raegan said, “We were practicing interviews and I realized how cool of an experience it was. I was in a room full of young women that were educated about current events. I was in a room full of young women that were ambitious and determined, and it em powered me!” She also loved participating in the service project. The girls packed feminine hygiene products and di aper bags that would be distributed all through out Idaho! Thursday

Volleyball

By Brylee Oglesbee Katie Coatney Kylee Tanner

The varsity volleyball team played in West Side last Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. They won in five sets, the first set the team lost 17-25. They came back in the second set with lots of energy helping the team win 2517 Anistyn Tovey had a good save and Adley Kimberling had some good blocks. During the third set the team lost some of their energy and ended up losing 1825. Then the team came back and won 25-23, the team came back with all of their energy and fought to win. With help from the student section cheering them on and boosting the teams en ergy; the team won the last set 15-10. The Lady Dragons host their se nior night against Bear Lake tonight at 7:00. The theme is a bear hunt so wear your cam ouflage and we will see you there.

and the net, Rosen quist managed to pop it back up to keep it alive.

Oglesbee got a hand on it enough for Hallie Horsley to send it over.

West Side attacked again, bringing it from the middle hitter.

Oglesbee, once again, passed it up for Peterson to attack from the out side. The Pirates were ready for the hit, set ting up a block to keep it in Dragon territory. Horsley recovered the block with a quick dig. As Kimberling went up for the set, caught West Side off guard with a quick tip and took the hard earned point for Malad.

West Side was true to their word as they said they would be coming for the Lady Dragons. The team was difficult to block and difficult to bring an attack against. The Pirates won the first set, 17-25.

With the Pirates ag gressively attacking, Malad relied heavily on their back row to bring in the digs and keep the ball in action.

Anis tyn Tovey made a big save as she dove to the ground, just barely get ting her hand under the ball as West Side tipped it just beyond the block ers. In one rally alone,

Tovey had four digs to keep her opponents from scoring. Tovery led the team in digs for the night, with 27.

As the game wore on, the MHS team found their own rhythm and took the lead. At times, it seemed that West Side was getting on a run, but the Lady Dragons always managed to put a stop to their momen tum. At such a time, Peterson sent a killer spike to the deep corner to swing the momen tum back in their favor, followed by another big hit from Horsley. The Dragon energy was palpable and just what they needed to win the next long rally to claim the second set, winning 25-17.

The Rosenquist/Hay cock right side block duo started the third set off with a sweet block, dropping the ball straight down on the Pirate’s side of the net without a chance for them to get it up. Not long after, Kimber ling picked up another block for Malad as she covered the middle. Time and time again, the Lady Dragons pro tected the net, either completely stuffing the Pirate attacks or get ting a soft block that

their teammates were better able to get under and keep in play. Mid dle blockers, Rosen quist and Camia Bean, brought in several blocks over the night, 11 and 9 respectively, with Kimberling add ing another 13.

As the third set pro gressed, Peterson ham mered a big hit, so hard that the Pirate dig sent the ball directly back to the Lady Dragons. See ing the overpass com ing her way, Bean went up for the hit, pushing the ball passed the West Side block. West Side narrowly managed to keep the ball up, giving Malad an easy free ball. Seizing the opportuni ty, the Lady Dragons swung again, ending the rally as West Side shanked the dig. De spite the many great plays the MHS team

had throughout the set, the Pirate’s won the third set, 18-25.

Neither team would clearly claim the lead as the fourth set would play out. The Lady Dragons and Pirates, both playing with great intensity, would switch the lead back and forth several times over the set. Just as it would seem that one team would be gaining the lead, the other would shut them down, and take it for themselves, even as the score was inching to the final points.

With Malad’s game point on the line, West Side scored two more points and seemed to have control of the game. Horsley took matters into her own hands, bringing down a strong hit that West Side dug with anoth

er overpass. The ball coming back into her territory and hungry for more, Horsley went up with another big swing and came down with the set winning point for Malad, 25-23.

Despite playing four long, intense sets, the Lady Dragons were ready for the fifth and final set of the match. The team covered the court well and attacked with consistent hitting.

Horsley led the team in hitting with 24 kills throughout the night. The team’s resiliency, grit and determination not only kept them in the game, but one point away from victory when Peterson took the opportunity to win it all with a hit West Side just couldn’t dig.

Coach Morrison “This team plays incredibly well together, they support each other and push each other. No matter what is asked of them they step up and give 100%. It has been a great opportunity to coach them and see them grow as a team and as individu

CROSS COUNTRY

If there is one sport that relies on the “you get what you give” prin ciple, it’s cross coun try. These racers only find success when they push themselves and give their all day in and day out, in the races or during practices. Their sleeping and eating habits, their attitudes and mental strength all play a part of getting them across the finish line. And what they put into determines how they place in end.

The Malad Cross Country team has re lentlessly worked as a team to put in the work for a successful sea son. Their hard work has paid off as nearly every racer has set a new personal or season record over their last two meets as they race The Cache Box in Lo gan, Utah and the Bob Conley Invitational in Pocatello, Idaho.

Proud of their racers and their hard work, the Malad Cross Country coaches couldn’t help but say great things about their team. “We are really excited to see the results they have had in the last couple of races. There have been some unsuspect ed surprises as we see different runners really pushing it.”

als. We are excited to see what they do as Malad Dragons.”

Huge thank you to the amaz ing coaching staff Devin Morrison, Devin Robbins, Billy Peabody, Coby Ball, Bryan VanBebber and Clint Price.

The team would also like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Richins for announcing the home games and the Knights wres tling parents that did so much to sup port the team on and off the field.

racers still hold an im portant role as they can keep other teams from placing high and add ing points to their final score. Every member is important and vital to the MHS Cross Coun try team.

The Lady Dragon racers earned a big win as they placed second at the highly compet itive, Bob Conley In vitational Meet. The team went up against racers from sixteen oth er schools and managed to outscore all but the team from Ririe.

new personal records in their most recent race. The coaches shared, “It’s been fun to watch these past few races as they run the last half mile. They just kick it in and pass other racers on their way to the fin ish. They are making some great improve ments.”

The Malad Soccer team played their fi nal games of the sea son as they competed in the District 5 3A games. Despite their determination and hard work, the team lost in the double elimination bracket, ending their 2022 season.

The Lady Dragon dis trict games began with their matchup against Aberdeen. Having de feated the Tigers in ev ery game throughout the regular season, they were confident that they would once again come out on top. And true enough, they defeated the Aberdeen Tigers, 2 goals to one, both goals scored by Bayli Nesbit, advancing them to the next round of games.

their second round, the MHS soccer team went up against Ameri can Falls on their home

field. The Lady Drag ons lost to the Beavers, but competed with them much more than they ever had in their previous games. Malad did well to frustrate their opponent’s game, resulting in many more mistakes, fewer goals, and, funnily enough, a very VERY upset American Falls head coach. Brylee Clark put points on the board for the Lady Dragons as she scored on a penalty kick. The final score of the game was 11-1.

After their loss against American Falls, they went up against Snake River who had previously lost to March Valley. The Malad team came out strong and aggressive, holding Snake River to just two goals before halftime. Unfortunate ly, the Panthers didn’t

let up and scored an additional four goals.

Bayli Nesbit answered with a goal of her own, maneuvering to the net with a pass from Braylee Price.

American Falls went on to win the District Championship game against Marsh Valley. In their second match up of the district games, Snake River pulled ahead to beat out Marsh Valley and take second place. American Falls and Snake River will advance to the State tournament games.

The Lady Dragons pulled out some of their best work during these crucial district games. Despite their loss es, the team is ending this 2022 season with a string of games they can really be proud of.

The coaches have fo cused on running as a team and in small packs as they move through out the course. “Run ning together means they can help and rely on each other. It re minds them that they are doing this together and that, even though they have individual times, they gotta be in this for the team.”

The Malad team is made up of racers with all different strengths that the team relies on. Some runners break out strong at the start of the race and help the team keep from get ting caught up. Some racers lead out as they climb the hills and oth ers are able to kick it up when they hit that sec ond mile.

While only the first five racers add points to the team score (scoring much like that in golf), the additional
