It’s not only the 4th of July – one of Oneida County’s premier holidays –but also the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, making it the biggest patriotic celebration in memory for those younger than 50, and maybe even some who aren’t!
While events commemorating America 250 are planned throughout the year, July 4th will represent the primary national day of celebration for it, and Malad has big plans in that regard, with a number of amazing events during the week of the Fourth.
Malad’s Fourth of July celebration runs from July 2–5 and features community activities, entertainment, competitions, races, family events, and fireworks.
Thursday, July 2
The festivities begin on Thursday, July 2, with a Street Dance and free watermelon from 8:00–10:00 PM.
Friday, July 3
Friday’s events begin with the Kids Parade, with lineup at 5:00 PM and the parade starting at 5:30 PM. This year, the route has changed due to Bannock Street Construction, and will take place along the walking path in the city park. The starting line is in the gravel parking lot in the south side of the 2nd/5th ward church, alongside Highway 38.
At 6:00 PM, the community will recognize the Volunteer of the Year
and hold a Flag Ceremony in the park itself.
Malad’s Got Talent tryouts begin at 6:15 PM (pre-registration required).
Additional evening entertainment includes the Iron Door Theater production of “We The People” at 7:00 PM, followed by the Bed Races at 8:00 PM (pre-registration required).
Saturday, July 4 Activities
The Fourth of July begins early with a Cannonade and Fun Run at 6:00 AM, followed by the Search and Rescue Breakfast from 6:30–9:00 AM.
A Flag Raising Ceremony will take place at 7:30 AM, and the annual Parade begins at 10:00 AM.
The main parade route has also changed for this year as a result of construction. Float lineup will still take place at the elementary school area, but the route will avoid Bannock street by turning north the block before the hospital and alternating north and west turns on the route back to the elementary school. A map is included at the end of this story.
Afternoon activities include a Time Capsule ceremony, Kids Races, Water Balloon Fight, America 250 Birthday Cake/Cupcakes, Softball Tournament, Foam Fire Truck, Dunk Tank, Apple Pie Eating Contest, Kickball Tournament, and more! Entertainment continues with performances by the MHS Drill Team and Cheerleaders, the finals of Malad’s Got Talent at
5:00 PM, a Drum Line at 6:30 PM, a Beatles Tribute Band from 7:30–9:30 PM, and concludes with Fireworks at 10:00 PM.
Sunday, July 5 Activities
The celebration concludes on Sunday at 6:00 PM with the Stars, Stripes and Small Town Pride Patriotic Program held in the Malad Elementary Gym. The Iron Door Theater production of We The People will also continue on July 6 and 7 at 7:00 PM. Find more information on the program on page 4.
Malad’s Got Talent Competition
The community talent show is open to participants in three age groups: 0–12, 13–18, and 19+. Tryouts will be held on July 3 at 6:15 PM, and the Finals take place on July 4 at 5:00 PM. Prizes will be awarded to the top three performers in each age group. Participants can register through the event QR code, and questions may be directed to Trissa at (208) 705-8032.
Bed Race Competition
After a long hiatus, Bed Races are back! For those too young to remember, the bed races are a team event featuring five-person teams, consisting of four runners and one rider. Teams must switch riders at the halfway point, and the rider must remain lying on the bed throughout

Each year, the Idaho Enterprise prints a visitor’s guide to the Malad area featuring local businesses, events, and destinations. In past years, the Welcome guide has been issued in conjunction with local stories of interest (such as Outlaws, Western Legends, Pioneer history), celebrated local events (such as the Malad Car Show, and the Malad Valley Welsh Festival), and local communities (such as Malad City, Samaria, and Cherry Creek).
This year, we present an overview of many of those topics with a specific focus on Malad’s celebration of the America 250 semiquincentennial!
During a recent visit to Malad to present the city with a flag that had flown at the capitol, representatives from Idaho’s national legislative offices noted that of all the towns they had visited in preparation for the upcoming America 250 celebration, Malad was a town they had been especially impressed by.
Some of those America 250 preparations and events are profiled here –
including the impressive downtown mural painted by Malad’s talented high school artists, and its extremely successful “Race for Independence” team-based skill competition – with more events to come this weekend.
While the America 250 celebration nationally culminates with this year’s Independence Day celebrations, the pioneering and revolu-
tionary spirit that animates the Malad Valley ensures that the feeling of that celebration will continue long past the signal date of July 4.
Please enjoy the Welcome to Malad edition, as well as this complimentary, countywide mailing of the paper, which we continue to compose here in Malad, keeping local.
This week, we have the official schedule of events for the Independence Day celebrations, the most recent county commission report, updates from Malad’s city government, news about a new playground in Stone, the Ag writing of our own Allison Eliason, “Looking Back” at stories from past years, and more of the local news and obituaries that you can’t find elsewhere.

A powerful heat dome is expected to bring dangerously hot weather to much of the central and eastern United States over the coming week. A heat dome forms when a strong area of high pressure settles over a region, trapping hot air near the ground and preventing cooler air from moving in. This pattern allows temperatures to climb day after day while also reducing cloud cover and rainfall. The hottest conditions are forecast across the Great Plains, Midwest, Mississippi and Ohio valleys, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and East Coast. Many communities are expected to see daytime temperatures in the 90s and low 100s, with heat index values reaching 105–115 degrees due to high humidity. One of the greatest concerns is the lack of overnight cooling, as nighttime temperatures may remain in the upper 70s or low 80s, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses. The heat dome is also expected to contribute to dry conditions and elevated wildfire danger in parts of the western United States, while thunderstorms may develop around the edges of the high-pressure system, producing localized heavy rain and strong winds. Forecasters expect the pattern to persist through much of the Independence Day week. Our part of Southeastern Idaho is expected to experience a pleasant start to the week followed by a gradual warming trend into the Independence Day weekend. While much of the central and eastern United States will be under an intense heat dome, southeastern Idaho is forecast to remain considerably cooler through midweek before temperatures climb closer to seasonal averages.
Bomb Threat closes Zoo Idaho
Zoo Idaho in Pocatello was evacuated Sunday after authorities received a report of a possible bomb threat. Police safely evacuated all visitors and staff while officers began investigating the incident. As a precaution, the zoo was closed for the remainder of Sunday. The bomb threat also prompted the cancellation of the Pocatello Municipal Band concert scheduled for Sunday evening at the Ross Park Bandshell. A growing number of bomb threats and “swatting” incidents have targeted zoos across the United States in 2026, prompting evacuations, temporary closures, and large law enforcement responses. Beginning in the spring, zoos in states including Florida, Kentucky, Arizona, Ohio, California, and Minnesota and now Idaho received threats that required visitors and staff to be evacuated while authorities searched the facilities. In every publicly reported case, investigators found no explosives or credible danger, determining the threats were hoaxes. Law enforcement officials believe many of the incidents are connected or are copycat acts designed to disrupt operations and create fear. Local officials have not confirmed any specific connection between the threats, and the investigation into the threat remains ongoing.
One of the MHS-student created murals that now decorates the downtown area of Malad between the courthouse and Veterans Memorial. It’s only one of many America 250 standouts for this year’s celebration!

Pool / Southeastern Idaho Public Health (SIIPH) Inspections
The Board discussed changes made by House Bill 202 during the 2025 legislative session, which eliminated the state’s public swimming pool inspection program. The Board, along with Parks and Recreation/Pool Manager Kami Willie, reviewed a proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Resolution through Southeastern Idaho Public Health (SIPH) for the inspection and regulation of public and commercial aquatic facilities.

Commissioner Jeppsen moved to approve Oneida County, Idaho Resolution No. 2026-06-01 dated June 8, 2026, a resolution authorizing the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Southeastern Idaho Public Health for the inspection and regulation of public and commercial aquatic facilities. Seconded by Commissioner Eliason. Motion carried.
Final approval of Vehicle Use Policy
Following last month’s approval of the updated Vehicle Use Policy, a few points of confusion were identified and corrected. Article 12 was clarified to acknowledge differences in fleet maintenance between county departments. A redundant signature line was removed from the last page. The updated document was presented to the Board for approval.

grant. The MOA is the same as last year’s, and the board made a few minor edits prior to signing.
Weed Building Plan Update
Commissioner Eliason shared information from an email provided by Jared Lusk with Construction Services regarding preliminary cost estimates for a proposed 50x80 (approximately 4,000 square foot) Weed Department building. Estimates were provided for two construction options, including a traditional wood frame building at approximately $725,000 and a pre-engineered metal building at approximately $550,000. It was noted that Road & Bridge could complete the site work, including graveling and grading. Due to the estimated project cost, it was noted the project would be required to go through the procurement process. No decisions were made.
Commissioner Lewis moved to move forward with having Jared Lusk with Construction Services oversee the project and bidding with Ted Booth as architect. Seconded by Commissioner Eliason. All ayes. Motion carried.
Weed Department Future Operations

Sheriff Doug Williams presented the Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Assistance Compact for board approval, which is an agreement between agencies that allows law enforcement to request and provide assistance to one another during emergencies, largescale incidents, or when additional resources are needed.
Sheriff Budget Discussion
Sheriff Doug Williams reviewed the department budget with the board, and adjustments were discussed for consideration. Closeout on the Woodruff Bridge Grant
Road & Bridge Supervisor Dianna Dredge updated the board on the Woodruff Bridge project. All Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) Local Rural Highway Investment Program (LRHIP) grant funds have been expended. The total project cost was $650,000, with a $100,000 grant contribution. All work is complete except for bridge asphalting, which is scheduled for later this summer.
Truck Purchase for Road & Bridge 2027 budget
After receiving prior approval to purchase a Mack truck, Road & Bridge Supervisor Dianna Dredge solicited bids from three vendors. The Road & Bridge Department received three bids, with the lowest bid coming in at $143,147, which was approximately $5,000 less than the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing price (a cooperative purchasing program used by public agencies to
access competitively solicited contracts). The purchase was awarded to Northwest Equipment Sales. Commissioner Jeppsen moved that after having solicited bids for the purchase of a new truck for the Road & Bridge Department, the bid from Northwest Equipment Sales Incorporated for the purchase of a 2027 Mack MP-8-445C Granite 64FR model in the amount of $143,147 be accepted. Seconded by Commissioner Lewis. All ayes. Motion carried. Commissioner Eliason was not present.
Summer Help in the Road & Bridge Department
Road & Bridge Supervisor Dianna Dredge requested permission to hire one to two positions for summer help at $15 per hour. The funds are in the budget.
Commissioner Jeppsen moved to approve the hiring of up to two individuals for summer help in the Road & Bridge Department at the rate of $15 per hour. Approved.
Report on Comp Time / Overtime Selections by Employees
As a follow-up to previous board discussions allowing employees to choose between compensatory time accrual and overtime pay, an update was provided regarding the selections. All employees have submitted their choices, and the selected options were implemented beginning with last week’s payroll. No decisions were made.
Excess Property - Flag Pole
The old 40-foot flagpole in front of the courthouse was taken down to accommodate new concrete work being done in the area and was slightly bent in the process. The flagpole will be relocated a few feet and replaced with a new one. The board agreed to allow the disposal of the old flagpole through a public bidding process set up through the county clerk’s office. Colonial Flag will be sending the new flagpole within the next few weeks. Once it arrives, Blake Love Construction will assist with erecting the flagpole. No decisions were made on this portion of the discussion.
Secure Rural Schools (SRS) Annual Fund Distribution Election
Secure Rural Schools (SRS) annual fund distribution elections were discussed. In recent years, the selection has not been made on an annual basis; however, moving forward this will be an annual decision selecting between Title I, Title II, or Title III. Historically, Oneida County has selected Title I, with funds going to the Road and Bridge Department and a small portion allocated to the school district. Commissioner Jeppsen moved to elect the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) funds be taken in the Title I option. Approved
America 250 (A250) Additional Donation Request & 4th of July Parade Clerk Lon Colton provided an update on America 250 activities and expenditures. Both the city and county received the state’s $2,500 grant, and the board contributed an additional $5,000, for a total budget of $10,000.

The Fine Line
BY ALLISON ELIASON
Every year we grow a pivot of corn to turn the cattle into when the snow starts to fly. The tall stalks provide great feed without the cows having to search for it beneath the snow. It also saves days of feeding hay that we’re more than willing to keep stacked in the yard.
Rather than turn the cows out on the entire field, we portion the corn into smaller sections so they’ll clean up the feed before moving to the next. Using an electric fence, it’s a fairly simple process to rotate around the field every week or so— simple enough that even the littlest ranchers come out to help.
We start by mowing down the strip where the fence will go, making sure there isn’t anything that will touch the wire and ground it out. Then we string the wire across the field, getting an idea of where the fence will sit before pounding in the small fiberglass posts.
The one challenge with doing this in the winter is that more often than not, the ground is frozen, making it surprisingly difficult to pound in even those little posts. It’s frustrating for any rancher, but especially for a young one.
Last winter was no exception. After wrestling with another stubborn post, our youngest son stopped, looked up at me, and asked, “Do I have to do it as good as you?”
I wasn’t sure how to answer. And I’ve thought about that simple question many times since.
As far as the job itself goes, the answer is yes. The fence has to work. A post that’s only halfway in won’t keep the wire standing, and a fence that won’t stand won’t keep cattle where they belong. The cows don’t care whether the fence was built by a ranch mom or a seven-year-old. But at the same time, how could I possibly expect someone with only a fraction of my experience to do the job exactly the way I do?
That question follows us through almost every season on the ranch.
This summer our sixteen-year-old has been doing much of the swathing. For the most part, he has done an excellent job. One afternoon, though, my husband and I drove through one of the fields and noticed several narrow strips of hay left standing between the swaths and I was surprised. He had enough experience to know not to miss them. We found ourselves asking, “What was he doing for that to happen?”
The easy response would have been frustration. After all, those missed strips meant the job wasn’t done right. Instead, they became a conversation.
Was he distracted? Was he watching behind him instead of ahead?
Was he trying to hurry before the weather changed? Whatever the reason, it became another lesson that couldn’t have been taught nearly as well from the pickup seat as it was from seeing the results in the field.
I’ve come to realize that raising kids on a ranch means constantly walking the line between maintaining high expectations and allowing room for growth. The standard itself can’t change because the work matters. Cattle still need to stay in the pasture. Hay still needs to come off before the storm. Equipment still needs to be cared for.
But the teaching changes.
Sometimes it means explaining the job one more time. Sometimes it means slowing down when we’d rather hurry. Sometimes it means pulling out a crooked fence post and trying again. We don’t lower the standard. We simply recognize that learning is part of meeting it. I’ve always believed people tend to rise to the expectations placed before them. If we expect very little, we often get very little. But if we expect our children to do meaningful work—to contribute, to be responsible, and to solve problems—they will do it.
This fine line between high expectations and allowing room for growth isn’t one you only find on the ranch with budding ranchers. It’s everywhere we find people trying new things, given new responsibilities, or growing into their opportunities. Yes, the child learning to pound fence posts and teenagers learning to swath hay, but also a new employee learning a trade, a first time volunteer trying to find their footing, or even ourselves stepping into something we’ve never done before.
Maybe that’s why I’ve kept coming back to our son’s question. “Do I have to do it as good as you?” I think the answer is both yes and no. Yes, because the work still matters. A fence still has to hold cows. Hay still has to come off the field. The job still needs to be done right. But no, because becoming capable takes time. Experience isn’t something we’re born with; it’s something we earn one lesson, one mistake, one conversation, and one success at a time.
I’ve come to believe that holding high expectations and extending grace aren’t opposites. In fact, I think they belong together. High expectations give us something to grow toward. Grace gives us room to get there.
Maybe that’s the balance we’re all trying to find—not lowering the standard, but recognizing that today’s learner, if they’re willing to keep trying, can become tomorrow’s expert.
America 250 – Stars, Stripes & Small-Town Pride
The community is invited to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States during America 250 –Stars, Stripes & Small-Town Pride on Sunday, July 5, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at Malad Elementary School. This patriotic program commemorates America’s semiquincentennial by honoring the nation’s founding principles, recognizing the sacrifices of veterans, and celebrating the values that have shaped both the country and small-town communities like Malad City and Oneida County. The evening will feature music, narration, video presentations, and community performances that reflect on America’s history, freedoms, and enduring spirit.
The program will begin with the posting of the colors by the American Legion Ernest W. Jones Post #65, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, the National Anthem performed by Sydney Tavoian, and an opening prayer. Throughout the evening, narrator Richard Anderson will guide the audience through the story of America’s founding, highlighting the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the ideals of liberty, equality, and self-government that continue to define the nation. Musical selections, including “You’re a Grand Old Flag,” “Oh, Say Can You See,” and “America the Beautiful,” will complement these reflections.
A significant portion of the evening will be dedicated to honoring America’s veterans. Through narration, patriotic music, a presentation of military branch songs, the reading of the poem Freedom Isn’t Free, and the playing of “Taps,” the focus will be on the courage and sacrifices of the men and women who have served in the nation’s armed forces. Veterans in attendance will be recognized for their service and commitment to protecting the freedoms enjoyed by all Americans.
The celebration will also highlight the important role of rural communities in America’s story. The program emphasizes the values of farming,
ranching, volunteerism, faith, family, and neighborly service that have long defined life in Oneida County. Musical performances, including Montgomery Gentry’s “My Town,” “O, America,” and a video presentation of Johnny Cash’s “Ragged Old Flag,” will celebrate hometown pride and the enduring strength of small-town America. Speakers will encourage attendees to recognize that the American story is written not only through historic events but also through the daily contributions of ordinary citizens who serve their communities with kindness, dedication, and patriotism.
The evening will conclude with reflections on the nation’s remarkable 250-year journey and a call to carry forward the values of faith, courage, responsibility, hard work, and love of country. A performance of Lee Greenwood’s “Proud to Be an American” will provide a patriotic finale as organizers encourage community members to leave with gratitude for America’s past, confidence in its present, and hope for its future. Join your friends and neighbors for an unforgettable, first of its kind performance at the elementary school on Sunday evening. After all, America only turns 250 once, and show organizers want to make sure that Oneida County celebrates that fact as loudly as possible!

Government of the people, by the people, for the people…what an idea! So novel in fact, that less than 2-4% of humanity has had the privilege of living under self-government. Even today only 8% of the world’s population live within a full democracy according to AI Google. Because I’m a human who doesn’t take well to being told what to do, I’m beginning to understand my attachment to our flag, the Statue of Liberty and Independence Hall. They represent something rare and priceless.
Our Founding Fathers were unique. Thomas Jefferson was committed to states’ rights, and on the other hand, was John Adams who recognized the need for a powerful central government. Both brilliant and neither appreciated the other. Compromise was needed as the new nation found it’s way. Ben Franklin recognized this. It was he who interceded during a bitterly divided Constitutional Convention and proposed that the assembly begin each morning with prayer. He reminded the delegates that “God governs in the affairs of men.” He went on to argue that if a sparrow could not fall without divine notice, an empire could not be built without divine aid. He famously warned that without “concurring aid,” they would succeed no better than the builders of Babel.* After the introduction of prayer, compromise was reached, progress was made and we got a Constitution.
At times, I see the same dichotomy in our family. Hadley has been on a soda fast over the last couple of years, while Elle has decided soda with as much caffeine in it as possible is the way to go. It may not have been a problem except Hadley felt it was her responsibility to remind Elle of all the

damage she was doing every time she consumed a Coke. Being a minimalist soda drinker myself, I appreciated Hadley’s warnings. Elle did not, and it seemed as the warnings increased, the more caffeine was consumed. Enter the strong central government, aka Dad. Now, in my opinion, the central government wasn’t as strong as I felt it should be. However, I have noticed the warnings have diminished as has the caffeine intake. In fact, MissNever-Touch-a-Soda was sipping a caffeinated drink the other day…but only because she was tired and had so much to do.
Back to Adams and Jefferson. Because of their deep philosophical differences (states vs. central government), they went for a decade with no communication at all but resumed it through a series of letters that has become a master class in civil discourse.** They proved that passionate political adversaries could maintain mutual respect. The exclamation mark to their lives happened on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, when both passed away. Jefferson passed first at the age of 83 at Monticello and the 90-year-old Adams died hours later in Quincy, Massachusetts. Adams thought Jefferson was still alive and his reported last words were, “Thomas Jefferson survives.”

He attempted to block the premature escape of one fellow worker, who leaped through the nose wheel hatch only to perish in the flames on the hangar floor. Then shielding another soldier against this blazing inferno with his body, so he would not meet a similar fate, he directed him to make his way out the tunnel and rear exit. It was only then that he made his own escape being forced to jump over several feet of flames and to fall, severely burned a short distance from the airplane. Private Williams’ heroic action at great risk to his own life, in which he received serious burns to face, legs and arms, and was responsible for saving the life of another soldier, are a distinct credit to himself and the United States Army.” High School trackster, Deron Scott, placed 1st in the Utah Arts Festival Ten-K in Salt Lake City.

Lesli Ann Wray, 59, of Malad City, Idaho, went home to her Heavenly Father on June 25, 2026, at Providence Saint John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, California. In her last earthly moments, she was miraculously surrounded by her loving and devoted husband and children.
Lesli was born on April 4, 1967, in Rexburg, Idaho, to John and Charyl Price. The family resided in several communities throughout Southeast Idaho before settling in the Snake River area. She graduated from Snake River High School. It was here that she met and started dating the love of her life, Matthew Wray. After graduating, she went to Connecticut as a nanny. Upon Matt’s return from his mission, they were married and sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple on October 16, 1987.
Matt and Lesli started their adventurous life together on a ranch in Montana. They then moved to California, where they welcomed their first daughter, Katelynn. They then moved to Pocatello, Idaho, for Matt to attend ISU. While in Pocatello, they welcomed two more children, Joshua and Celest. After graduation, Matt and Lesli moved their family to Lyman, Wyoming, for Matt to begin his career. Lesli, who was quickly becoming a perfect homemaker, brought three more children into their family, Elizabeth, Robert, and Willard. Matt and Lesli went on many adventures with their young family, creating fond memories. After 11 years in Wyoming, they had the opportunity to move their family closer to their extended families in Idaho. They moved to Malad City, Idaho, where they welcomed two more sons, Benjamin and Hunter. They built their family home in Malad at the mouth of New Canyon. Lesli transformed the home and land into a beautiful haven. Her magnificent garden was a sacred place, and the hard work she put into it blessed the lives of her family and neighbors. While in Malad, Lesli’s talents earned her Homemaker of the Year at the county fair. After 21 years, they sold their home to buy more property just down the road, with plans to build their dream home. While figuring out plans, Matt had a career opportunity that would take them either to Alaska or California. While Matt preferred Alaska, Lesli preferred California. So to California they went. She loved living there, and while she missed her family, she thrived in the sunshine and on the beach.
Anywhere she lived, Lesli made many wonderful friends. She was a light in the lives of many as she served others diligently, especially her family.
Some of her talents include crocheting, canning, and painting. She worked hard to make her home beautiful, warm, full of love, and a safe place for all who came there. All friends would be greeted with fresh homemade bread and strawberry jam.
She gave her all in her many callings in the Church, teaching, serving, leading, and ministering. She graciously
supported her husband as he served as bishop and stake president in Malad.
Above all, her greatest joy was being a mother and grandmother to her 14 adoring grandchildren. She was her children’s biggest cheerleader, faithfully supporting them at countless sporting events and celebrating every achievement, big and small. She spent many selfless hours giving her children a beautiful childhood, creating lasting memories camping and backpacking. She taught them the importance of integrity and hard work and instilled in them a love for family and the Savior. She had a beautiful testimony of the Gospel, eternal families, and her Savior’s love. Among their eight children, six have served or are serving missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Of the seven who have been married, all have been sealed in temples. All 5 of her sons were Eagle Scouts.
She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, and her love and wisdom will live on in the hearts of her family forever.
Lesli is survived by her loving and dedicated spouse, Matthew Clark Wray; her children, Katelynn (Brice) Swope of Smithfield, UT; Joshua (Hannah) Wray of Malad City, ID; Celest (Dillon) Smith of Willard, UT; Elizabeth (Jason) Thomas of Rupert, ID; Robert (Elizabeth) Wray of Idaho Falls, ID; Willard (Tili) Wray of Rexburg, ID; Benjamin (Chloe) Wray of Malad City, ID; and Hunter Wray, serving in Peru; her grandchildren, Maddox, Sawyer, Eliora, Joseph, Raelynn, Scarlett, John, Kendrick, Grace, Mason, Theodore, Matthew, Alaina, and Josephine; her siblings, Kerri Wagner, Kristi Funk, Mindi Quayle, Kenny Price, David Price, and Jodi Stacey; her brothers- and sisters-in-law; and many nieces and nephews.
Lesli was preceded in death by her mother and father, John and Charyl Price; and her mother- and father-inlaw, Robert and Gertrude Wray. Funeral services will be held on Monday, July 6, 2026, at 11 AM at the Malad Stake Center at 1250 1100 W, Viewings will be held Sunday evening from 7-9 PM and again prior to the service from 10:30-11:30 AM. Burial will follow in the Moreland Cemetery.

A great time under the Big Top
the tent and the “M” at a decent angle, but here’s proof the circus indeed came to town!
New Playground in Stone
BY ALLISON ELIASON
No child ever looks forward to summer break coming to an end, but the students of Stone Elementary have something they are more than a little excited for. As the 20252026 school year came to a close, Principal Jeanie Reeder announced that a brand-new playground would be installed, with construction beginning as soon as school was out for the summer.
Over the weeks of June, the school playground has been a busy place. Construction crews, district maintenance staff, parents, students, and community volunteers have all pitched in to help transform the grounds before students return this fall.
The activity has been a welcome sight in contrast to the aging playground the students had come to know. Years of use had taken their toll as pieces of equipment wore out and were gradually removed, leaving more empty space than places to play. By the time students return in August, they’ll be greeted by colorful
new playground equipment designed to give them more opportunities to climb, slide, explore, and play together. The improvements don’t stop there. The project also includes new asphalt, which school officials hope will become the foundation for a new basketball court, creating even more opportunities for recreation during recess, physical education classes, and school activities.
The upgrade has been months in the making as Reeder worked to secure funding, purchase the equipment, and coordinate the many details involved in preparing the site. The playground equipment was made possible through a grant from the Oneida Education Fund, while the Stone PTO and Varo Bank provided donations to help fund the new asphalt.
When the first day of school arrives this fall, students will undoubtedly be eager to reunite with friends and teachers. Thanks to months of planning and many helping hands, they’ll also have a brand-new place to laugh, play, and make memories for years to come.
Last week, the Malad Chamber of Commerce brought the Culpepper and Merriweather Circus to town, setting up a classic style Big Top at the Fairgrounds and holding two shows featuring a world-class troupe of performers.
Lions, fire, high wire acts, comedy, and more brought a touch of the amazing to town, delighting, as they say, children of all ages. In addition to the acts, the circus also came equipped with its own clowns, peanuts, and popcorn. The show was capped with a large scale mechanical “Wheel of Destiny” on which the daredevil Perez Duo performed aerial stunts, which was truly a sight to behold.
Chamber President Mandi Hess filled the role of guest emcee for the event, which filled the tent for both performances. Despite some unseasonal cold and wind, the weather underneath the Big Top was perfect for a thrilling throwback to the circuses of yesteryear.
The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus sits in a very specific niche within the current U.S. circus world: it’s one of the last surviving small, traditional “big top” touring circuses that still travels heavily to rural and small-town communities, while most modern circuses in the U.S. are large commercial productions with arena-style shows, or Art/cirque companies with fixed venues.
Small touring traditional circuses are increasingly rare, but certainly the most tied to the American tradition of the circus, which peaked in populari-
ty in the early twentieth century.
The C&M circus runs a long seasonal circuit, traveling to roughly 200+ towns across about 15–17 states, typically setting up for short local engagements before moving on. In just the week the circus visited Malad, they also visited American Falls, Soda Springs, Montpelier, Preston, and locations in Wyoming. After Wyoming, they will move on to Nebraska.
According to announcer Miss Simone, the pack up and set up operation takes about 90 minutes, then they’re off again on the road.
Some of the proceeds from ticket sales go back to the sponsoring organization, which allows the event to work for both entities.
This keeps it viable in smaller markets where large touring productions wouldn’t be profitable.
The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus’ performers rotate seasonally and are a mix of: returning core acts (long-term contracted performers like animal handler Trey Key and lead clown Leo Acton), specialty touring acts booked for part of a season (like Miss Gianna and her performing puppies), family acts that travel with the show (like the Macias jugglers and the Perez daredevils), and guest performers like contortionist Ursula Cortez and others.
The show involved audience participation, a midway with pony rides and games, and an authentic feeling of the kind of circus most people rarely, if ever, get a chance to see today.
New equipment was recently installed in Stone.

Susan Wittman celebrated at retirement party
Malad’s longtime City Clerk Susan Wittman officially retired from the position she has held for several decades at the end of June, and a party was held in honor of that fact on Monday, June 29.
Surrounded by friends and family, the Fire station was also filled throughout the evening with well-wishers who stopped by to visit, reminisce, and offer their thanks and congratulations.
The party was themed “No More 9 to 5,” celebrating the end of the rigid clock and calendar that define life in public service. But it might also anticipate the future a bit, as while Susan will not necessarily be in her accustomed front desk position any longer, she isn’t leaving the office altogether.
Wittman will be continuing on with the city as a consultant as the transition to new City Clerk, Kacey Keller, continues over the next while.
During the evening, it was impossible not to notice how many people Susan had worked with and impacted over her years meeting with residents at City Hall, over the phone, and through the day in and day out work of making sure things stay running.
“It’s been like this since four!” Sonin-law Brad Coleman said, pointing to the crowd gathered to speak with Susan and share a laugh or a hug.
While her role may change a bit, we’re glad that she won’t be going too far in the near future, as we still have all kinds of questions…
Weekend Baseball Action
Malad 10U
CHUBBUCK, ID — The newly assembled Malad 10U All-Stars overcame an early setback to capture the championship at the Chubbuck All-Star Tournament this past weekend. Despite a 1-2 start in pool play—including a frustrating loss dictated by a tournament time limit—the Dragons rallied when bracket play began.
In the opening bracket game, Kyler Blaisdell set the tone on the mound by turning a spectacular unassisted triple play to escape a first-inning jam. The defensive highlight sparked an eightrun offensive explosion in the bottom of the inning. Led by three hits apiece from Blaisdell and Jaxon Miller, Malad racked up 14 hits on their way to an 18run victory.
The semi-final matchup brought a tough test against top-seeded Chubbuck Blue. After falling behind early, Malad’s defense tightened up, and reliever Kempton Daniels struck out eight batters over the final frames to keep Chubbuck at bay. The offense provided a decisive eight-run surge in the fourth inning, with Daniels, Blaisdell, and Miller each collecting three hits, and Bridger Jones adding two, to secure a hard-fought 16-13 win.
Malad carried that momentum straight into the championship game, opening the first frame
Promotional banners have been displayed throughout the county and will also be hung at Broulim’s for additional visibility. The banners cost approximately $1,500. America 250 shirts, trivia challenges, and prizes were provided at two basketball games. Eight weekly America 250 trivia challenges were also published in the newspaper, with Betsy Ross flags awarded as prizes. Two Malad-specific America 250 t-shirt designs were created and distributed at ballgames and the Malad Car Show.
Approximately $1,500 has been allocated for Malad’s Amazing Race on June 13, which will include bounce houses, food trucks, and a free movie in the park following the event. Approximately $600 is budgeted for cupcakes to be distributed during the Fourth of July celebration in recognition of America’s 250th birthday.
The committee originally planned to place a mural on the side of the Co-op building; however, due to the condition of the wall, the location was changed to the wall behind the veteran’s memorial. Hess Lumber donated paint at cost, valued at approximately $400. Malad High School art teacher Kristal Fonnesbeck and several students completed the mural for approximately $1,000.
Because the mural project cost less than originally anticipated, the committee would like to use a portion of the remaining funds for patriotic window murals on local business storefronts. A subcommittee led by Kristy Eliason has organized a patriotic musical program to be held at the elementary school on July 5 at a cost of approximately $550.

Approximately $1,600 remains
available. An additional $2,000 was requested for parade candy and the printing of additional Malad America 250 shirts to be distributed during the Fourth of July parade.
The Crisis Center is also sponsoring a Fourth of July pie-eating contest and will provide bicycles as prizes for the winners.
Commissioner Jeppsen moved to allow up to $2,000 of additional funding to be used for local America 250 celebrations using contingency funds. Seconded by Commissioner Lewis. All ayes. Motion carried.

with eight hits and a couple walks to make it all the way through out lineup. Jumping out to an immediate 8-0 lead. Bridger Jones controlled the game from there, striking out eight batters over four innings while also launching a home run at the plate. Emmet McClellan struck out the side in the final inning to seal the dominant 21-6 championship victory. Over the course of bracket play, the Dragons combined for 42 hits and outscored their opponents 55-25, with every player on the roster recording multiple hits.
