Capital for a Day!

Malad City was honored by the Governor’s office as Capital for a Day on April 27. The Oneida County Event Center hosted the public meeting of the governor and state officials, while the high school hosted a question and answer session with students from the school district.

Governor Brad Little was joined by a number of state officials, including Lt. Governor Scott Bedke, Secretary of State Phil McGrane, Idaho Supreme Court Justice Robyn Brody, Department of Water Resources Manager Gary Spackman, Lottery Commissioner Larry Polowski, Idaho Transportation Department Commissioner Dan McElhinney, Lt. Colonel Bill Gardiner, Chanel Dewalt from the Department of Agriculture, Jani Ravier from the Department of Labor, Ryan Cantrell from the department of Education, Kim Guneski from the Department of Commerce, and Dave Jeppsen from the Department of Health and Welfare.

Capital for a Day is a tradition in Idaho, wherein smaller, rural towns are given the chance to serve as the temporary seat of administrative duties for the state government. Malad was last named the Capital for a Day in 2012. This year’s honor occurred in part due to the efforts of Mary Al -

ice Telford, who had contacted the governor’s office about the possibility.

Following a flag ceremony by the local chapter of the FFA, Mayor Joan Hawkins took the stage to introduce the governor and his team.

Mayor Hawkins also introduced Representative Clay Handy and Senator Kelly Anthon, who were in attendance. “We’re so happy to be one of this year’s capitals for a day.

Thank you so much,” Hawkins said.

The mayor also took the opportunity to recognize the Lions Club for its 100 years of service to the community. Don Schwartz, President of the Lions Club, presented the governor with an Idaho edition of Monopoly.

“He can play that in his spare time,” the mayor said.

County Attorney Cody Brower introduced the governor. “It is an incredible thing for Malad City to welcome the governor not once, but twice in one year come down here, and I’d just like to say thank you.”

Superintendent of district #351 Jon Abrams spoke to the audience first. “I had the privilege of serving in the Idaho National Guard for over 20 years. During that time, my son received the call that he was going to Iraq. I can’t explain how difficult

that was for me. I asked him to explain the lessons he learned from his service, and he told me that it was a life changing experience. He said it was a time where he had learned to expect the very best from himself, and those that he served with. It was a sacred experience. It set the tone for my entire life. His last responsibility was to facilitate the first vote in Iraq. He sent the pictures home to us of the ink stained fingers. We live in an amazing country. We live in a country where the freedoms are second to none. And yet at times I think we take them for granted. It’s my prayer that we can treat people with a different opinion with the same dignity and respect that we would want them to treat us with. That we can disagree without being disagreeable. And most important that we take advantage of the God-given freedoms we have in this country.”

The governor then took the stage, and introduced his staff and colleagues. “The whole goal isn’t for us to talk, but for us to listen to you all,” Little said.

The local FFA chapter asked the first question, which was “What are currently doing to keep agricultural

Lions Celebrate 100 Years

Malad’s Lions Club was recognized as the oldest chapter in Idaho at a public event last week. The event, which featured the participation of a number of national Lions Club figures, was a momentous kick off to the club’s second century of service.

Lions Don Schwartz, Ed Thorpe, and Thayne Barker were all awarded the President’s Certificate of Appreciation, which is given to recognize

Former Mayor and Talk Show host Jerry Springer dead at 79

Talk show host Jerry Springer, pioneer of the outrageous confrontational style talk show during the 1990s, died on April 27 of pancreatic cancer. Springer, a former mayor of Cincinnati, was the child of refugees fleeing the Holocaust during WWII. His show, “The Jerry Springer Show,” modernized the daytime talk show format that had been previously established by Phil Donahue, among others. Springer’s career was marked by controversy, but certainly left a mark on American television.

Tuesday Morning files for bankruptcy

The personal care product seller Tuesday morning filed for bankruptcy and announced the closing of its 200 stores this week, joining recent American retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond in a line of businesses suffering financial hardship in recent months. Tuesday Morning, which did not have an online retailer component, cited recent inflationary pressures and the long-term results of the COVID-19 period as primary reasons for its financial insolvency.

Group Seeks to end closed primaries

A group named “Reclaim Idaho” has teamed with a number of other organizations to file a ballot initiative for the 2024 general election that would replace the current closed primary system with an open one in which any citizen, regardless of party affiliation, could participate. The initiative would also introduce a change to ranked choice voting to the system. Idahoans for Open Primaries, the Idaho Task Force of Veterans for Political Innovation, North Idaho Women, Represent US Idaho, the Hope Coalition, and Reclaim Idaho filed the initiative on Tuesday. If passed, the change would allow any legal voter to participate in Idaho’s Republican primary elections.

says surgeon general Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy recently released a declaration stating that “widespread loneliness in the U.S. poses health risks as deadly as smoking a dozen cigarettes daily,” according to reports. According to the declaration, the pandemic has increased the isolation experienced by many Americans, especially those who are elderly or otherwise not part of robust interpersonal networks. Isolation can lead to an increase of risk for premature death by stroke or heart disease by as much as 30%, according to data.

Graduation for MHS will be May 24

Malad High School students will officially graduate on May 24.

education in our high schools?” The governor mentioned some of the programs in career and technical training that were being supported by the governor’s office, as well as additional funding for training recently approved by the legislature.

Ryan Cantrell, from the Department of Education, stated that, “I like the question. And the reason I like the question is that I really do believe that FFA is a lifeblood for a lot of our rural high schools. You have both a friend and an advocate in me and Debbie Critchfield.

I can assure you that we are strong supporters of CTE programs, especially FFA. FFA is one of the most successful student organizations in the country—you’re the best speakers, the best students, and we support you fully.” A number of other speakers joined in to express their affection and appreciation for FFA students, and especially those in communities such as Malad.

A question was asked about the prevalence of out of state campaign materials sent to Idaho to affect the outcome of elections. The governor expressed sympathy for the complaint, but suggested that constitutionally there was no way to stop issue advocacy from out of state as a matter of state law. Secretary of State Phil McGrane added, “I think everyone in the room can relate to the junk mail you’re talking about. Transparency is often the best cure. Our state is growing, and so is the amount of money in politics.” McGrane asked the audience who they thought the largest contributors to political advertising in Idaho were last year. The answer was the Democratic party of Georgia. “That wasn’t dark money, though, that was publicly available. But there are ways we can make that information clearer. What we’re seeing is more and more money. I know there’s a lot of support among legislators to close those loopholes.”

County Clerk Lon Colton expressed his appreciation for the communication from the Secretary of State’s office, and asked about House Bill 292. “You probably figured that might be coming,” he said. “But I think it would be helpful for people to hear.” The governor responded that “I had a real concern about what that bill did to some of our ability to bond. And public defense funding was somewhat affected. We had some issues with public defense in the smaller counties.”

Supreme Court Justice Robyn Brody explained that “this is a vital issue, not just in Idaho, but across the

country. The courts decided a long time ago that when people are charged with a crime they have a right to an attorney. The states have the obligation to provide that attorney, and it trickles down to the counties. At the present time, there is a lawsuit that challenges how those services are provided.” Brody went on to explain some of the implications of the financial issues related to public defense.

As she explained, the financial burden is extreme, but is also necessary under the constitution.

The bill itself creates property tax relief by creating School District Facilities funds and Homeowner Property Tax Relief Accounts to reapportion funds through state funding. Representative Clay Handy spoke out against the riders that had been added to the bill since its original creation. The bill also eliminates March elections from the Idaho calendar.

Colton also expressed appreciation for the state funds used to help in the improvement of the airport runway projects.

Questions were asked by the audience directly, as well as through comment cards. The first comment card was a question about the lottery revenues, and why Malad did not receive a higher portion of the receipts from lottery sales, despite its status as the highest county in the state as far as sales.

Commissioner Polowski explained that Malad is responsible for 9% of the total lottery sales in Idaho. But the distribution of those funds is a function of the code governing the process.

Polowski stressed that it would be possible to change the monetary dispersal of funds through legislative means if there was a will to do so.

important issue within the school district, as well as the community in general. “I don’t think we’re going to fix this as a school, or a home, or a legislature right away, but it’s a serious concern,” Abrams said.

“I am all in on what we can do for these kids,” Governor Little said. “I’ve been in communication with [Utah] Governor Cox about what we can do. We are neither one of us proud of our teen suicide rate, and we’re very concerned about it. Years ago, the way we handled mental health in the state was very top down, but we realized it needed to be more community based. Early on in the Otter administration, we put in seven crisis centers around the state. Then we realized we also needed recovery centers. Now we have community based recovery centers. I think the next big recommendation we need is what can we give to communities to help with these issues? The problems get worse faster than we can fix them. I wonder what would things be like if we hadn’t built those centers?”

“One of the things we’ve done is put out $59 million dollars for remediation, and Dave can tell you about where we are with that,” Little said. Dave Jeppsen, from the Department of Health and Welfare took the podium to discuss some of the issues in mental health care in Idaho. “I suspect everyone in this room has known somebody that has suffered from a behavioral health issue, whether that’s from substance abuse or mental health, and you know how difficult that can be. And that’s particularly challenging with our youth. It’s been a real focus over the last couple of years. It’s going to take whole communities coming together to solve these problems. The legisla-

ture has funded youth crisis centers, and teen assessment centers around the state.”

Jeppsen discussed the rollout of the new suicide crisis line 988, which replaced the former number. The number can be reached in the same way as 911, and is a dedicated, anonymous line to assist those in need of immediate assistance.

“We want to build this safety net and scale it up through our communities,” Little said.

“Frankly,” Supreme Court Justice Robyn Brody said, “if we were able to solve mental health and substance

abuse problems tomorrow, Judge Hooste and I would be out of business. Mental health services is the one place where one branch of government is absolutely on the same page. If you want to see an amazing program in action, it’s our treatment courts and this one here is excellent.”

“If you have any ideas for how we can provide better services here, I’m definitely a point of contact for that. Please, anyone, let me know,” Judge Hooste said. “I really do believe this is one of the times when we have all three branches

of government working together toward the same end.”

As the afternoon progressed, a number of local citizens had their chance to ask questions of the governor and other officials.

Questions ranged from the implications of a number of current and pending state laws to the potential impact of national issues on Idaho. Little and the state officials took questions until noon, after which lunch was served. The session reconvened at the High School at 1:15.

Oneida County Hall of Fame inducts Melvin Joe Davis

The Oneida County Hall of Fame will once again host a dinner and induction ceremony this year after three years of not holding the program due to the pandemic. The event will be on Tuesday, May 23, at 6:00 p.m. at the Oneida County Event Center. A catered meal by Marla Jones will be served, followed by the induction of M. Joe Davis and Terrill Schwartz to the Hall of Fame.

Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the door. However, in order to have a count for the meal, please contact Susan Wittman at Malad City Office (208-7664010) by May 10 to reserve your seat at this very special event.

M. Joe Davis

Melvin Joseph Davis, legendary history and government teacher for over 30 years at Malad High School, will be inducted to the Oneida County Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in Education.

Joe Davis was born in Samaria, Idaho, on April 10, 1927, to Melvin M. and Mabel W. Davis. Growing up as a farm boy, he developed a strong work ethic. He would live almost his entire life in Samaria.

He attended school in Samaria and then Malad, graduating from Malad High School in 1945. He was drafted into the United States Army in 1946 because of the Korean War and spent seven months at Camp Roberts in California.

After his short stint in the Army, he returned home to attend Utah State University, graduating in 1950 with a major in political science and a minor in psychology. He later earned a master’s degree in educational administration.

Joe’s first teaching job was at the Samaria School where he served as principal while teaching grades 5 through 8 for an annual salary of $2400. His brother

Lynn, who was 11 years younger, was one of his students, and that year was difficult for both of them.

After two years teaching in Samaria, he moved to Malad Junior High School where he taught 7th and 8th grade social studies and math for five years.

In 1959 Joe Davis found his niche as the history and government teacher at Malad High School. Every junior and senior at Malad High had Mr. Davis for those two required classes, and he conveyed his knowledge and enthusiasm for these subjects to his students. He took his classes to Boise every year to observe the Idaho Legislature in action. He served as senior class adviser.

While teaching at Malad High, he married Emma Louise Carter, a fellow teacher. Together, they raised a daughter, Jacqueline, and added a son, Jeff, to the family. He and Louise chaperoned Malad students on many exchange trips to Germany.

Mr. Davis was known as a tough but fair teacher. Though he could put fear into his students, they respected and even loved him because they knew he cared

about them and because they learned from his classes. History and government were not easy “A” classes. Students never knew when he would give a pop quiz over current events. Students learned to look over the headlines of the newspaper before going to history or government that day.

Mr. Davis said he would never flunk a student who was trying. Many struggling students received just enough extra credit to get them through his classes by going out to Samaria and working on the ranch with their teacher. More than one former student would say that they would never have graduated without Mr. Davis’s generosity.

Because Joe appreciated how government worked at all levels, he was involved in civic and community affairs. He counted state politicians and community leaders as his friends. He was a member of the Lions Club for many years and served as the Chair of the Oneida County Idaho Centennial Committee.

Joe was active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many positions in his Samaria Ward, including as Bishop.

Outside of school, he continued to raise a few animals and to harvest crops on his farm in Samaria. He also sold insurance for a time. He was never idle, continuing to read and keep up with current events throughout his life.

After 41 years as a teacher, influencing thousands of students, Joe retired in 1992. He and Louise spent that winter in Arizona. On August 2, 1993, Joe Davis died as a result of a vehicle accident in his beloved Samaria.

Buckle Shoot winners named

Week two of the Malad round Robin Trap Shoot concluded at the Malad Gun Club with Team 21 being high for the week. Shooting a 490 out of 500 birds. Team members are Kenny Clough, Kim Parker, Brian Bench, Brody Wygal, and Leila Thornton. High shooter for the week is Kenny Clough with a 50 out of 50. High shooter overall for both weeks is Nick Watkins shooting 98 out of 100.

Local Author visits library

The Oneida County Library had the honor of hosting local writer Carolyn Twede Frank, who has authored more than twenty books in a variety of genres including romance, young adult, historical fiction, and fantasy.

Frank spoke with the crowd about her history as a puppet maker, an author, and a resident of the west.

Oneida County Library director Kathy Kent, who introduced Frank, stated that “I get a real kick out of Carolyn. Her biography talks about a journalism professor who gave her a hard time when she was starting out. He told her to get out of the writing business. Luckily, she didn’t!”

Indeed, Frank has become a well-recognized writer and a very successful author of a number of series with large followings. Her historical novel “The Hitler Dilemma” has been cited by a number of people as an important and influential work in the genre. Books such as Where Her Heart Lies, Heart of the West, Under the Stars, and The Prospector and the Widow have been betsellers on Amazon, and Frank continues to be a popular writer in the romance and LDS communities.

lege years, Frank realized that one of the things she was best at was writing the scripts for performances, which rekindled her love of writing.

After an experience in a local book club, she said to herself “I could definitely write a better book than this.”

She decided to write a book in 2006, and had it initially published in 2012, which is a fairly fast turnaround in the industry.

Frank is currently working on publishing a book co-written by an inmate she met through correspondence. “I’ve had at least three inmates contact me to say that my book had touched their lives. One of them said he wanted to write a book, and we’ve been working on it together,” she said.

Frank had a room full of fans, as most of the people present were somewhat familiar with her work. “I write the kinds of books I like to read,” Frank said. “I don’t want them to be overly complicated, and I want to like the characters.” Many in the audience agreed that the characters were the strongest part of Frank’s work.

Grandparents Day in Stone

The Stone Elementary teachers, aides and students proudly hosted their annual Grandparents Day Thursday, April 27, inviting family and friends along the Curlew Valley to join them. Clad in their red, white and blue, the K-3rd grade students performed a patriotic program as well as exhibiting fun new facts they have learned about their country.

The students began their program by inviting the grandparents, senior citizens, families and friends to join them in singing The National Anthem. The third grade class then showcased their Presidents of the United States reports,

teaching interesting facts about various presidents, including George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Donald Trump, and Barack Obama. The kindergarten, first and second grade classes together recited a poem that spoke of the important symbolism of the American flag. The students ended the program by singing the school favorite song, Fifty Nifty United States. The students performed their program with great pride and energy, their love of country palpable throughout the production.

Being in such a remote setting, the Stone Elementary is somewhat of a unique school. The few staff and students have

a close relationship that makes every event, program and activity something that they all are deeply invested in. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the school also hosts the Curlew Valley senior citizen lunch where the students and seniors mingle together. Each senior day, before the students leave for lunch recess and before the seniors are served lunch, a student will lead the group in the Pledge of Allegiance and a senior will offer a prayer over the food. While there are many things the small school may be without, the very best of this country- patriotism, prayer and community, fills the school every day.

While Frank is mostly known as a novelist today, her background actually also includes a significant history as a puppeteer and craftsperson involved in the creation of the puppets used in conjunction with the Brite Music franchise during the 1980s. After taking a number of puppetry classes during her col-

22nd Annual Dance Classic

Jennifer Hill along with her Studio Dance Company kicked off the 22nd Annual Dance Time Classic this past weekend at Malad High School.

Friday night they had

101 Soloist, Duets and Trios performing from Tremonton, Pocatello, Brigham, Logan, Bear Lake, American Falls, Preston and Malad.

Soloists performing from Malad Studios were Delanie Walton and Lila Estudillo from Dance Company. Austin Schrenk, Aubrey Price, Cassidy Schrenk, Alyssa Seamons, Aleah Seamons and Samantha Schrenk from Studio A Dance. All the Girls received either Queen or 1st in their Divisions and Austin Shrenk also received the OverAll High Point in the Amateur Division. On Saturday we had ten Studios from Tremon-

ton, Logan, Bothwell, American Falls, Rigby, Logan, Preston, Bear Lake, and two from Malad with almost 600 Dancers competing. Dance Company performed thirteen Routines in Block One earning all Superior and High Superior, Best in Jazz, Best in Hip Hop and three Judges Choice Awards for their routines Angel, Witches are Back and Gold Digger. Studio A Dance performed six routines in Block Three earning Superior and High Suoerior, Most Audience Appeal, Best in Jazz and a Judges Choice Award for their Shake A Tail Feather routine.

The Competition ran very smooth both days and even ended an hour earlier than planned on Saturday. There was some amazing talent both Friday

night with all the Soloist, Duets and Trios and Teams on Saturday. All the routines were very entertaining. After COVID we changed up the Dance Competition schedule by putting Teams in blocks of 4-5 Studios then doing awards at the end of each block. It makes it a little busier for the Studios as there isn’t much time between routines but it keeps the flow moving better and the Gyms from being overly packed. Studios have loved it and each year we’ve added more Teams and Soloist’s competing that we’ve had to split it up into two days now. We had some amazing help both days to run the Competition so smoothly and look forward to next year being our 23rd year of hosting.

Not recommended for parents or kids

By Gramma Dot

Those commercials on TV that portray classes trying to save young people from becoming their parents hit a little close to home at times. There is one which makes fun of senior citizens who want to get to the airport early, which admittedly, I like to do. In fact, once we had Boe drop us off at the Mesa Gateway Airport before the security line was even open. We still haven’t lived that one down.

Well, last week we were heading to the Salt Lake Airport and giving ourselves plenty of time. Before we left, I was loading our “treat bag” when Brett walked through the kitchen and reminded me there are

vending machines at the airport. Call me cheap, but I don’t like paying $5.00 for a tiny bag of chips, and I prefer my dried apples and almonds anyway! I don’t travel a ton, but I have some routines I don’t want to change, and they include arriving early with my own snacks.

One adjustment to travel I did make this time, was using this handy, dandy lanyard set-up my sisters gave me. No need to dig through the treats in my purse looking for my license to get through security. The lanyard hangs around my neck and has my license, credit card and a few bills. Kind of like a kid who carries her ID around her neck in case

she gets lost. Seems I’ve come full circle.

Well, just so you know, we didn’t hold anyone up in the security line, and we did not get lost. We even had our boarding passes on my phone, and who knows, we might try the vending machines next time. But one thing is for sure, we will arrive early so we can watch all the interesting folk at the airport running down the hallways in a panic to catch their flights. Perhaps, we need some classes to help our kids learn how to become more like their parents.

It's a Good Life, especially when you are on time and have your own snacks!

Lions Celebrate 100 Years

hortation to group to become “knights for the blind” and do whatever they could to aid those in need of vision assistance.

The Malad Lions Club has been determined to be the oldest in the state, with its founding in 1923. While there are Lions Clubs with earlier incorporation dates, the local chapter is clearly one of the oldest in the west.

Mike Ferguson, Council Chair of District 39 said “I’ve been involved in a lot of events, but I thought the Malad club was only a legend. I brought you a plaque, and it says ‘Malad Lions Club 1923-2023, Idaho’ Oldest Club’.”

Cliff Hart, district governor of the Lions club, also spoke. He explained that the membership of the Lions had been declining for a number of years.

“My slogan, when I took over as district governor, was ROAR into action. R is for ‘recognize what’s going on in your commu-

nity.’ ‘O stands for organize. Every club I’ve visited has one person with great ideas, but they don’t know how to put these into action. Usually there’s a person, most of the time it’s a woman, who knows how to make those things happen.’ ‘A stands for Action. So you’re going to act upon it.’ ‘R stands for Reward, so that’s what you’re going to get involved for. It makes you feel good. It makes you feel young.’”

Past International Director of the Lions Club Sam Lindsey was the

featured speaker, from Waco, Texas. Lindsey was elected to the board in 2016. In the course of a very entertaining and rousing speech, Lion Sam extolled the virtues of the Lions Club and the Malad Chapter. “I guess I should say ‘howdy’,” he started. “Howdy!” the crowd responded. After confessing to not knowing how to pronounce Malad properly until he met Don Schwartz, Lion Sam spoke about his history with the organization and charitable work.

“I had been in Idaho,

but just fleetingly. The prettiest drive I ever had was from Missoula, Montana to Sun Valley. I love this place.”

“This club has accomplished some amazing things in its history,” he said, pulling out a sheet to read from. “Well, now I’m showing my age,” he said, pulling out reading glasses to general laughter. “This club has served its community in so many ways,” Lindsey said. “From the very beginning, it has been a part of what makes this town a town.” Lindsey recounted the many

things that the Lions have done over the last 100 years, including the building of an ice skating rink, hospital, Miss Malad contest, street signs, the swimming pool, the pavilion, and a host of other events and services supported by the club.

The International

President’s Certificate of Appreciation was given by Lindsey from the International organization to Ed Thorpe, who is the longest serving Lion in Malad club, Thayne Barker, and Don Schwartz. The men were also given a presidential pin.

Utah Trich Outbreak Spreads

By Allison Eliason

With the breeding season just a few weeks away, local farmers and ranchers are working to get their herd bulls set to put out. Last year, news of a trichomoniasis (trich) outbreak reached cattlemen that has continued to spread as the outbreak is being tracked and attempted to stop the spread. This outbreak has become a concern for several Oneida County producers and should be taken seriously to keep additional herds from being infected.

In April of 2023, ten herds were identified as having trich, found to all be a part of the King Creek grazing allotments in southeastern Idaho. Untested bulls were sent out in the breeding season that began the spread of the venereal disease. Trich will cause pregnant

Victory

cows to spontaneously abort their calves in the first 120 days of gestation. The illness spreads through a herd as multiple bulls breed a single cow or as a single bull covers multiple cows.

As ranchers have begun trich testing their bulls in 2023, an additional five herds have been identified as testing positive for trich. Not always being able to track the whereabouts of an infected animal, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly where the various herds are coming in contact with the disease.

The disease and the prospective damage it can occur in a herd and the rippling effects of an outbreak can be very concerning for cattlemen in close proximity to infected herds. It is especially worrisome for producers that mix their cattle with other ranches as they run on public range allotments. Despite the additional risk that this raises, there are management steps ranchers

can take to decrease the likelihood of trich infecting their herds.

Preg testing cattle at the end of the breeding season can be a good indicator of such a disease in a herd. If pregnancy numbers are very low or several cows are just beginning in their gestation, it could point to trich. As cows are infected, they will lose their calves and either by open or just recently bred again. Without testing for a herd’s pregnancy rate, it is impossible to find diseases spreading through the herd until it is far too late.

In addition to preg testing the cows, all herd bulls should be tested for trich. Western states, including Idaho and Utah require bulls to be tested previous to each breeding season. This mandate is largely due to the vast number of operations that mix herds with other ranches. Trich is physically unnoticed in bulls and will only be positively identified with testing. A certified veterinarian will collect skin cells from

the bull’s sheath and penis where the protozoa resides. Currently, the most efficient and timely testing for trich is conducted with a pcr test. This testing can find positive results in just days and is considered to be more sensitive than culture tests.

Having a defined breeding season is an important management tool to help stop the spread of trich. Bulls or cows that are infected with trich can continue to reinfect and pass on the disease if they continue to run together. Infected cows can usually clear the disease if they are removed from the exposure but do run a higher risk of being reinfected. Because cows are not individually tested for trich an

open, an infected cow allowed to continue being run with bulls will infect other bulls which will in turn, infect more cows. Keeping open cows away from bulls by having a defined breeding season will stop the spread cycle as she clears the infection.

Positive trich test findings result in the infected bull being sent to slaughter within 14 days of detection. Herd’s with positive herds are recommended to have second and even third rounds of trich testing carried out on all herd bulls. Additional testing improves the finding of no trich as more tests are performed as fall negative results can occur. Quarantining after a positive result is rec-

ommended to keep the spread from additional herds.

A final management tool grazing associations can count on is establishing bylaws that address the very issue of trich. Local veterinarians strongly suggest that bylaws include protocols such as before a bull can be turned out that comes from an operation with a positive trich test, it must have multiple negative trich tests. In addition, they recommend bylaws that allow for quarantine and reducing the exposure to herds that have had positive test results.

It is unreasonable to believe that a trich outbreak will clear up in a single season. But it isn’t unreasonable to believe that has producers responsibly manage their herds, the spread of such an infection and its consequences will be minimal. Employing these few management tools is a great to protecting herds and minimizing the time of such an outbreak.

The MHS Baseball team has had a full schedule as they begin winding up the 2023 season. In one week, the team played five games, besting Soda Springs both at home and away, falling to the 3A number seven team in the stateMarsh Valley, and taking the win over Firth for their final home game of the season. Despite a packed schedule that has made it difficult to get practices in to adapt or make corrections, the team continues to improve just as the post season games will begin.

At Soda Springs, the Dragons blew away the Cardinals, scoring 19 runs to 1 in just five innings on Tuesday April 25. Dax Maroney, first up to bat, scored in the opening of the game, getting walked on base, stealing second as Carter Blaisdell was up to bat, advancing to third on a passed ball, and then stealing home as Jaden Ward followed Blaisdell at the plate. In the second inning, the team scored another four runs from Brycen Howe, Maroney, Ward, and Brady Showell. The momentum behind the plate only improved in the third and fourth innings, with seven and six runs scored respectively.

Coach Bo Clark used the game as an opportunity to get multiple players shuffled through the batting lineup, getting 15 sluggers at the plate to hit.

Ward led the team with batting attempts with five, earning two runs on two hits and batting in two additional runs.

Maroney led in total runs with three as well as with stolen bases, with two. Cael Seamons and Ryan Jensen split time on the pitcher's mound.

Seamons allowed one hit and three walks over two innings, striking out three. In three innings, Jensen had one run on two hits, with walks and seven strikeouts. The Cardinals came to Malad to play again on Thursday, April 27.

Malad came out in the first inning again to take the lead, running away with it in the second

The Lady Dragons are moving through their final weeks of regular season games, playing back to back to back games against Soda Springs, West Side and West Jefferson. The team continued their remarkable undefeated streak, tallying up 13 wins before their final week of games.

Before playing Soda Springs for their final home game on Wednesday, April 26 , they honored the four graduating seniors- Kaitlyn Tanner, Kaysha Beck, Beth McClain, and Graycee Goddard. The four seniors and their team had a stellar game, shutting out the Cardinals 15-0 in only three innings. Malad was slow to start their hitting, earning all their runs in a single inning. Riglee Peterson began the scoring for the Lady Dragons, hitting a

inning as they counted up another eight runs.

Pitcher, TImmy Jensen led at opportunities to hit with four, scoring a run in the bottom of the second after getting on base with a hard ground ball to shortstop. Maroney led the team in runs, tallying up two for the Dragons.

Jensen threw for Malad for the majority of the game, allowing two runs on five hits, walking only one batter and striking out eight over the course of five innings and 101 pitches.

Ryan Hubbard came in as relief pitcher for an inning, throwing four strikeouts, walking one batter while allowing zero hits on 30 pitches.

Saturday, April 29, the Dragons traveled to Marsh Valley, a top ranked team in the 3A standings for a double header. In the opening game, both teams were tied with one run in the first inning. Marsh Valley increased their run lead in the second inning as they scored three runs to Malad’s zero. The Dragons put up just one more run in the third inning, losing 2-7 to the Eagles. The team saw better luck behind the plate in their second game, Ward and Maroney managing multiple hits for Malad. Gaiden Combs had a triple in the top of the sixth inning to bat in Ward who was waiting on second base. Combs made it across home plate on the next play as Steston Higley singled to center field.

Maroney scored in the top of the seventh inning, to tie up the game at six runs a piece after a single to left field and being batted in by Ward on a ground ball to left field. In the bottom of the inning, Marsh Valley managed to put a run over home plate to take the win at the last minute. Coach Clark shared about the game, saying, “Marsh Valley is a really great team. Even though we lost, we had a lot of great plays out there. I’m really proud of this team.”

The Dragons played their final home game of the season on Monday, May 1 as they hosted the Firth Cougars who they had lost to by a single run the week before. Before the umpire yelled, “Play ball!, the teams, coaches and fans honored the graduating seniors of the baseball team, including Jaden Ward, Stetson Higley, Gaiden Combs, Dax Maroney, Chase Briggs and Preston Ward. The

Dragons were slow to get their offense going, but picked up the pace in the fourth inning where they put three runs across home to take the lead, 3-1. With the bases loaded, Higley was walked to first base on a count of four to one, sending Showell in for the first run of the game. Combs and Briggs followed with runs as Firth’s pitcher walked two more Malad batters.

The Cougars answered with another two runs in the sixth inning to tie the score at three hits. Malad’s defense managed to hold Firth scoreless in the top of the seventh inning. Ward grabbed a pop fly in center field for the first out of the inning. Pitcher Higley struck out the next Firth batter, getting three balls passed his swings. Shortstop Maroney picked up a line hit outside second base and passed it over to Jensen at first to get three outs in three at bats in the final inning.

Maroney led the Dragons at bat in the final inning, hitting a single to right field before making it one base at first. Maroney stole second after the first pitch to Blaisdell at bat. As Blaisdell hit a fly ball to right field for the first out, Maroney tagged up and advanced to third base. Put the ball in play

The MHS track team is just days away from the 2A district track meet to be held in Malad May 8 and 9. As the athletes prepare for their culminating meet, they are finding exciting progress and improvement with each meet they compete in. Over the last week, MHS runners, jumpers,

and throwers competed at the Fifth District Coaches Invitational track meet in West Side with a select few invited to participate at the Tiger/Grizz elite meet in Idaho Falls. At West Side, Malad found themselves competitive at several events, Oakley Hebdon

taking first place in the 100, 400, 300 hurdles, and the Long Jump and senior Cortlyn Coleman taking first in the 3200. Other MHS athletes tallied up an additional 15 top 10 finishes in various events throughout the meet.

Malad’s defense was top notch as they held number five 2A team in

the state scoreless. From the mound, Peterson totaled 11 strikeouts over seven innings against 24 batters, allowing only two hits, one walk to first base and committing zero errors. From the field, Horsley had four putouts as she covered first base. McClain brought two outs catching fly balls at shortstop, another from Goddard at

third base, Combs from center field and Oglesbee at second base. The team has one final week of regular season games before districts will begin. As the team continues to fine tune their game, they are optimistic of their post season tournament play.

Hebdon earned Malad’s only medal, taking third place in the 300 m hurdles. The meet was successful for many of the MHS athletes without making their way to the medal stand as they set new season and personal records as they were

pushed by great competitors at the meet. The Malad track athletes will compete next on May 3 in Malad as they host eleven teams on the newly refinished track before they will host districts the following week.

Types of Flower Bulbs

While we speak generically about a whole family of flowers as "bulbs", chances are the one you are thinking about just might not be a "bulb". For those who really want or need to know the difference, here they are:

Dutch Bulbs

Flower bulbs are generally teardrop shaped, with a pointed top and a round bottom. The outer skin is dark brown and paper-like.

Propagation is accomplished by division. Baby bulbs are produced and are attached closely to the mother bulb, at the bottom of the bulb. Baby bulbs are produced rapidly each spring. If not separated after a few years, the size of the flowers and plants diminishes as they compete for space and nutrients.

Why are they often referred to as "Dutch Bulbs"? - This is simply because many of the most popular and highest quality bulbs, most notably Tulips are grown in Holland for sale around the world. Some common bulbs, when to plant and when they bloom are listed below:

Common Bulbs

• Allium should be planted in the fall to bloom late spring;

• Amaryllis or Lily should be planted in summer to bloom in late summer;

• Daffodils should be planted in the fall, to bloom in the spring;

• Grape Hyacinth (Muscari) should be planted in the fall to bloom in the spring;

• Hyacinth should be planted in the fall to bloom in the spring;

• Bulbous Iris should be planted in the fall to bloom in the spring;

• Lily should be planted in the fall to bloom in the summer;

• Snowdrops should be planted in the fall to bloom early spring;

• Tulips should be planted in the fall to bloom in the spring.

Corms

Corms are similar to bulbs, and most people do not know the difference. The bulb is shorter and rounder than bulbs, with a concave bottom. The outer skin is brown, and hard. It does not separate easily from

the rest of the bulb. They usually have a flat top. Corms propagate like bulbs, but the baby bulbs grow from the top of the mother bulb. The mother bulb usually dies in one season, after producing it's offshoot. Some common

Corms are:

• Autumn Crocus, plant in summer to bloom in the fall;

• Crocus, plant in the fall to bloom in early spring;

• Elephant's Ear, plant in spring to bloom in summer;

• Freesia, plant in fall to bloom in spring;

• Gladiolus, plant in spring to bloom in mid-summer. Rhizomes or Tubers Rhizomes are plants with a root-like stem. The enlarged stem grows underground, sending roots down and stem

and leaves upward. Propagation is by dividing the tubers into separate parts with at least one eye.

In the vegetable world, examples are Potatoes, Yams, Ginsing, Ginger Root, and Jerusalem Artichoke. Common flower tubers are:

• Tuberous Begonia, plant in spring to bloom in summer;

• Canna, plant in spring to bloom in summer;

• Caladium, plant in spring to bloom in summer;

• Rhizome Iris, plant in fall to bloom in summer;

• Lily of the Valley, plant in fall to bloom in spring.

Tuberous Roots

Tuberous roots are similar to Rhizomes. except it is a true root. The enlarged root sends out stems and leaves. Propagation is accomplished by separating the roots. Some Tuberous roots are:

Rejuvenation pruning

Shrubs are important components of residential and public landscapes. They are used to block views, create privacy, establish borders, and provide interesting foliage and flowers. Too often, shrubs are planted and then allowed to grow with little or no management. If pruned at all, they are typically subjected to periodic shearing. Eventually many shrubs grow too big for their site or for the plant structure itself. Now that winter is over, we see them everywhere we look: big, unruly, overgrown shrubs.

Do you have a shrub that’s so overgrown that it’s growing into your house, impeding on a walkway, or growing

into other plants? Before removing the shrub, consider rejuvenation pruning. Rejuvenation pruning and renewal pruning are two techniques that can reduce the size and volume of many shrubs without unduly harming them. Which is more appropriate in a given situation will depend on the plant species, the shrub’s function in the landscape, and the wishes of the property owner. There are two types of rejuvenation pruning. The first type, extensive rejuvenation pruning, is the practice of cutting the whole shrub to a height of 4-10 inches. After the cut, the shrub will immediately start growing new, healthy, vigorous

shoots, which give the shrub a new, manageable look with increased flowering. Examples of shrubs that respond well to extensive rejuvenation pruning are: dogwood, spirea, potentilla, honeysuckle, hydrangea, lilac, forsythia, and weigela. Evergreen shrubs will not tolerate rejuvenation pruning.

If you don’t like the drastic visual change that extensive rejuvenation pruning provides, there is a second type of rejuvenation pruning called gradual rejuvenation pruning or renewal pruning. Over a period of three years, you gradually remove a third of the oldest stems every year until you have a fully rejuvenated

shrub. This method takes longer to complete, but will leave you with a shrub that stays more attractive throughout the rejuvenation period.

Using both rejuvenation pruning methods will leave you with the same result - a new, vigorous, healthy plant which can be easily maintained in its natural form. Most of the shrubs that respond well to extensive rejuvenation pruning will also respond well to gradual rejuvenation pruning. Some different shrubs that respond better to gradual rejuvenation pruning are: barberry, beautybush, cinquefoil, pyracantha, forsythia, honeysuckle, hydrangea, lilac, mock-

orange, privet (use a 4-year cycle), flowering quince, spirea, and weigela. Renewal pruning can also be used on some evergreen shrubs such as boxwood, cherry laurel, and rhododendron.

There are a few things to keep in mind with rejuvenation pruning:

• Not all shrubs respond well. Avoid rejuvenation pruning to junipers, boxwood, narrow leaved evergreens, and shrubs that have only one primary trunk. Spring flowering shrubs won’t flower the year the rejuvenation cut is made.

• Timing is important. Although rejuvenation pruning can be done with some shrubs right after flowering, the best

time is late winter of right before bud break. • Give special attention to heavily pruned shrubs. Due to the stress that some shrubs receive during heavy cutbacks, watering and fertilizer can be very important. Avoiding the problem of overgrown shrubs is easy to do. First and foremost, make sure to fit the plant to the site. Don’t force a shrub species to fit into a space that is too small for its natural growth pattern or vigor. Then maintain the proper size of shrubs using appropriate thinning and heading cuts as needed to manage shrub growth, size and health.
