The Idaho
Oneida County's News Since 1879
A Fantastic Fair week comes to an end!
As always, the Oneida County Fair served as the last exciting gasp of summer before school fully and truly takes over, and this year it was even closer than usual! And also as always, there is simply too much material from the fair (allowing that other events continue to happen regardless of our timetable) to include in a single paper. To that end, we are bringing you the Market Sale results, the Open Class category results, and some of the livestock and animal results this week. Next week, we will hope to bring you results from the remaining animal shows, as well as the rodeos and other events that happened during the week, so never fear!
The Market Sale this year was dedicated to Jerry and Brenda Thomas, whose Thomas Market has been a big part of the fair every year for many years. The Fairboard recognized Bonna Anderson for going above and beyond, and we bring you that here. Find much more fair content next week!
Every year, the Fairboard selects an individuals or family who has made major contributions to the Oneida County Fair over the years, and recognizes them prior to the Market Sale on Saturday. This year, the board selected Bonna Anderson, who well deserved the honor.
The following was read at the presentation of the award:
“Bonna was a farm girl all her life and lived in very rural areas and loved it.
Bonna has been involved in the fair for many years. She was a 4-H leader for 27 years and is still willing to help if needed. Her girls had many projects, both livestock and home making projects at the fair and she would declare that they would not be doing that again…but come next year, they were at the fair again! It is a good life. She also entered entries in sewing, crocheting, knitting, and cooking and has received many awards.
Her family would spend their summer vacations at the East Idaho State Fair for a week, which provided many great memories for all generations of her family. She gave demonstrations at the State Fair and with other organiza-
tions on how to make candy—her specialty was making and pulling taffy, which she still makes today!
All of her daughters and grandchildren have been active members in 4-H and FFA.
Bonna is active in many organizations and is always learning or teaching something. She has serves in many community and church organizations such as the 4-H Board, Library Board, Cattle Woman and many more. She believes it is important to take care of our environment and hold on to out agricultural background.
Fairs, 4-H, and FFA provide many experiences—some good, some not so good—but teach many life lessons and the importance of serving the community you live in. Her family is a 4-H Heritage family, which they are proud of. She is a great example of the 4-H motto “To make the Best Better” plus she still tells experiences from attending 4-H Camp!”
The Enterprise congratulates Bonna on her award, and thanks her for all her work!

NEWS IN BRIEF
Officer shooting suspect identified, booked on aggravated murder charges
On Sunday night, two Tremonton Garland Police officers were killed, and a Box Elder County Sheriff’s deputy was wounded after responding to a domestic disturbance in Utah. Authorities said officers were dispatched around 9:30 p.m. following several 911 hang-up calls near North Park Elementary School. While one officer spoke with an individual outside the residence, an armed man emerged and opened fire, fatally shooting him. A second officer was killed while attempting to help.
The suspect then fired on a responding deputy and his police dog inside their vehicle. Both were injured but survived and were reported in fair condition after being transported to medical facilities. Bystanders convinced the suspect to put down his weapon, and additional officers took him into custody. He faces aggravated murder charges, though authorities have not released his identity.
A massive response followed, with police and SWAT units from multiple counties securing the area. Officials emphasized there was no ongoing threat to the community but urged residents to avoid the scene Monday morning. The officers’ names have not been released. Brigham City Police called the incident a tragedy that shook the entire community, honoring the fallen officers as heroes dedicated to service.
Idaho Senior Ensures Gooding Kids Start School Prepared
For many students, the first day of school brings excitement, but for some families, it also brings financial stress. School supplies can be costly, and not every household can afford everything on the list.
One Idaho teen decided to change that.
Gooding High School senior Jayda Williams dedicated her senior project to helping kids in her community start the year on equal footing. Recognizing that some families struggle to buy basic supplies, Jayda launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of equipping local students and teachers with the tools they need to succeed. Her efforts quickly gained support. Community members and local organizations rallied behind her idea, donating money and materials. With those resources, Jayda assembled school supply kits that included essentials like notebooks, pencils, and crayons. She then distributed the supplies to classrooms and families throughout Gooding, making sure no child felt left behind.
What began as a school assignment became something much bigger—a project rooted in compassion and leadership. Jayda’s work not only lightened the load for families but also inspired her peers and neighbors, showing how one person’s idea can spark real change.
Through KTVB’s 7’s Hero spotlight, Jayda’s dedication was recognized as a shining example of how young leaders can uplift their communities in meaningful ways.

Pay attention to crosswalks!
City Superintendent Tyler Webster would like people to be aware that the school crosswalks are in effect, and the flashing lights are ready for the school year. There are signs at 400 North and 100, 200 and 300 West. When there are Stop signs, it is not necessary to have the hatched crosswalk, just a regular crosswalk.
On 400 North and North Main, according to Mayor Hawkins, “the council decided to have the kids walk on the south side down to 100 West because that is where they always walk anyway, and also because the sidewalk on the north side is not in good condition. The city will try to get a sidewalk on the south side when they can find the money!” The speed limit is 20 through school zones, during school hours. Hawkins added that “we hope that people will just observe that speed limit at all times just so they don’t forget to slow down when school is in session.”
Superintendent Webster specifically added, “one area that we have really been concerned about is southbound on 100 West. There is a hill as you come from 700 North down to 400 North, and it crests just before 400 North. People tend to

speed in that area. We don’t have all of the speed limit signs yet. There is a speed limit sign on 100 West and 400 North that says 30 mph. That will come down and the new 20 mph signs will go up and I think the hours will be posted on them like the two existing signs that I saw.”
Reading through the police incident logs during the week, it is clear that speeding is one of the primary violation issues in the city and county. There is at least one “Bus Arm Violation” that results from someone trying to drive around a bus with its lights flashing every week. Obviously, this is an expensive, and more importantly dangerous violation to commit and should be avoided at all costs. A speeding ticket through a school zone is equally ill-advised. Here is the relevant Idaho statute on the matter.
TITLE 49 MOTOR VEHICLES
CHAPTER 6
RULES OF THE ROAD
49-658 School zone speed limit — Penalty. (1) No person shall operate a vehicle in excess of the posted maximum speed limit established for a posted school zone. If a
posted school zone speed limit sign includes the words “when children are present,” the term shall mean one (1) or more children. The definition applies to children present on the same side of the street as the school building or across the street from the school building in any direction within the marked school zone. (2) Violation of the provisions of this section shall be an infraction punishable by a minimum penalty of not less than seventy-five dollars ($75.00).
School Zones are marked and easy to see. If the crosswalk, or yellow signs, or flashing lights don’t give them away, they are also conveniently located near schools!

Fair Market Sale
At the heart of the Fair, in many ways, is the market sale. The sale is the culmination of an important project for a lot of local kids. Some of them will likely continue on in the farming and ranching worlds, and this early experience will help shape their expectations as they go forward. The hours of effort, observation, diligence, and plain hard work are ultimately as valuable as the kids make them, but they are also as valuable as buyers are willing to pay for the results.
For the kids who are primarily involved in the sale because “their parents made them,” there are valuable lessons in that, too. Hopefully, the correlation between effort and results is something that everyone who raised an animal can see. It can also be hoped that a sharp understanding of just how much is involved in raising the food that ends
of on the table was gained.
In any case, the sale is a lively day for the community, as it gathers to see who will end up spending just how much on the livestock in the arena.
Speaking on the topic, the sale this year was dedicated to Jerry and Brenda Thomas. The Thomas family has been a fixture of the fair for years, with Jerry routinely purchasing the Grand Champion or Reserve animals to be processed for sale at the store. For several weeks during the fall, it’s been fun to taste the results of the 4-H season on the grill out back. With their retirement this summer, the Thomas’ have temporarily “left the building,” but we’ll keep an eye out for them at the sale next year as private citizens.

5) How To Train Your Dragon
Only a few films have been able to retain the same magic in the transition from animation to live-action, but the new How to Train Your Dragon accomplished it —and more. It follows Hiccup Haddock, a lanky Viking boy whose village suffers in a constant battle against dragons, as he discovers companionship in the very thing his people seek to destroy: a dragon named Toothless. The visual effects are worth the watch alone; everything from scenic landscapes to heart-pounding action to life-like fantasy creatures. The film is an emotional rollercoaster, with belly-laughing moments to scenes that tug at the heartstrings.
4) Jurassic World: Rebirth Jurassic World: Rebirth perfectly captures the thrills of its original 1993 counterpart; gorgeous special effects, a gifted cast, and somehow, even more dinosaurs. The film focuses on the future of the franchise, where dinosaurs have struggled to adapt to modern climates, except for Earth’s equator, where our team of agents is sent to retrieve DNA vital to modern medicine. The performances are a highlight, with Mahershala Ali, Scarlett Johansson, and Jonathan Bailey making their characters feel compelling- despite the frightening events they go through.
3) Elio
Pixar’s newest film, Elio, is an utter delight from start to finish, with a refreshing story that leaves you feeling optimistic (and a little misty-eyed). Accompany our protagonist Elio, a struggling little boy, as he’s mistaken for Earth’s leader by a peaceful community of Aliens. Elio is forced to navigate everything from representing Earth to wartime diplomacy, all while exploring the strained relation-
ship between him & his aunt. With charming animation, excellent voice acting, and a deeply moving story that brought me, a grown woman, to tears in the theater- it’s a must-watch for anyone who loves science fiction, animation, or a fun-loving movie.
2) The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Since Stan Lee & Jack Kirby’s creation of The Fantastic Four in 1961, several film adaptations of Marvel’s first family have been made- but Matt Shakman’s “Fantastic Four: First Steps” has come the closest to bringing the comic books to life. Come along as The Fantastic Four deal with an earth-shattering threat of Galactus, a cosmic being who plans to devour the world. This danger coincides with the arrival of the team’s youngest member, newborn Franklin Richards. With a kitchy, retro-futuristic set design that looks like it came straight from The Jetsons, exceptional casting for its characters, such as Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic or Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman, you cannot miss it.
1) Superman Without a doubt, James Gunn’s Superman has captured the world by storm- and for good reason. This new version of Superman couldn’t have come at a better time: giving us an inspiring protagonist to look up to (literally!) when the world feels increasingly polarizing. Journey with Superman as he struggles to try and prevent an invasion from the tyrannical nation of Boravia, as he discovers the complexities of being a superhero.
David Corenswet’s depiction of the Man of Steel is beyond compelling, but the supporting characters truly stand out with a no-nonsense Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), or a downright terrifying Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult)- it’s a movie that truly takes the time to understand its characters, story, and world.

Fish salvage order issued for Deep Creek Reservoir in Oneida County
JENNIFER JACKSON, IDFG
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has issued a salvage order for Deep Creek Reservoir in Oneida County, effective Aug. 15 through Sep. 19, 2025.
During the salvage order timeline at Deep Creek Reservoir:
Fish may be taken by any method except use of firearms, explosives, chemicals, electric current, or prohibited baits.
All bag, possession, size, and number limits are suspended.
A valid Idaho fishing license is still required.
No live fish may be transported from the reservoir.
As per Deep Creek Irrigation Co. rules, no watercraft are allowed on this waterbody.
Deep Creek Irrigation Company impounds water from Deep Creek to supply water for irrigation demands and is draining the reservoir to make repairs on the dam.
Each year, Idaho Fish and Game stocks 500 catchable-sized rainbow trout in Deep Creek Reservoir for anglers. The reservoir also contains populations of largemouth bass and cutthroat trout. Fish will not survive when water levels in the reservoir become unsuitable; therefore, an order of salvage is warranted to maximize public use of these fish. The reservoir will begin to fill again once the repairs are completed in September.
For more information about this salvage order, contact the Southeast Region Fish and Game office in Pocatello at 208-232-4703.

By Gramma Dot
Grandma Red has six children: Dot, Ed, Tam, Ter, Rox and G. We are all relatively competent on a good day and ought to be able to tend to her needs. After all, she raised us: fed us, kept us clothed, monitored our activities, taught us right from wrong, and made sure we all knew we belonged. Four of us are in town, Tam assists from the other side, and Ter only needs an hour and a half to get from her parking spot to mom’s front door. She dedicates at least a day and a half every week to mom’s care. I’m retired, the other three “in-towners” have flexible schedules and I’m not sure how often Tam can connect, but she does. You would think we could cover all the bases all the time.
Unfortunately, we don’t. Part of our problem is Mom. She is used to being independent, calling the shots, providing the service and orchestrating life at Thorpe Central. She has slowed down considerably. Over the past two months she has repeatedly lamented her “worthlessness.” So, we have spent time reflecting on that statement and trying to counter her conjectures.
Just last week Alice, mom’s hair
stylist, changed her appointment from the usual Thursday to Wednesday. Alice told me, and I failed to pass along the info because I forgot about the change. I’m forgetful but not worthless. Well, come Wednesday and mom is supposed to be at Alice’s, I’m in Logan and not looking at my phone. Maybe I am worthless. So, Alice called Rox when she couldn’t get me. Rox left work, rushed to mom’s, ran in, informed mom of the change and hustled her out the door for the hair appointment. Now, Rox had had a busy day. She was at work, had lined up day-care, catered a retirement party and was still recovering from bottle feeding five puppies for eight weeks. She really didn’t need this. And then to top it all off, on the way to the car with Mom on her arm, mom’s tie-up sweatpants slid to her knees. The tie-ups hadn’t been tied up. Mom stopped, looked down, and started laughing. Rox got the giggles and couldn’t stop. Worthless? I don’t think so.
It’s a Good Life when you can laugh at yourself. It’s a great life when you can help someone else laugh, and it certainly isn’t a worthless life when you laugh together!

As winner of the annual contest, she will receive a $50 cash prize. The first weekend of Oneida County’s Pari-Mutual Horse Racing garnered a big crowd with a two-day handle of $38,285, a $6,000 jump over last year. Saturday’s eight-race-
handle was $17,451, while the same number of races Sunday amassed a handle of $20,834. Sunday’s handle in particular was up dramatically from a year ago.

On early Friday evening, August 6, Don and Donna Gibbs were returning to their home at 37 W. Highway 38, after leaving their home vacant for only ten minutes. They observed that while they were gone, a strong wind that blew through the valley had broken a limb off a tree in their backyard, which had come down on an old pickup truck, had broken through the windshield and also dented the body of their truck. All of a sudden, without any warning, the large tree that had lost the limb came crashing down on the roof.

Club member pictured in The Idaho Enterprise was Jason Gilgen with he pet guinea pig named “Fione.” Next to him was Blue Mills holding a replica of Jason’s guinea pig. Derek Peterson had his live leopard gecko in a box alongside its replica. The lizard’s name was “Geiko.” Carrie Christiansen was holding a pet turtle.

On August 15, 1985, Varcel Christophersen will have been barbering in Malad for 50 years. “Today we give only about 20 percent of the regular barber-style haircuts that we once gave. Most of the younger generation goes to hair stylists or beauty operators, and many in the older generation have their wives cut it…and then there are those who don’t get haircuts at all…” He has enjoyed the years that he has spent in the barber business in Malad. On the mirror in his shop he has a sign that reads: “Cows may come and cows may go, but the bull in this place goes on forever.”
The Better Beef Bargainers 4-H Club under the direction of Cheri Blaisdell implemented their community service project at the fair grounds. Since there has been no flagpole on which to fly the American flag, the members of the club went to work to remedy the situation. All together sixteen young people participated in this project. Susan Bush was responsible for getting the pipe and pole put together. The welding of the pipe was donated by Scott Service. Kimberly Blaisdell, Kathy Davis, Tara Treasure and Heidi Bastian were in charge of cleaning off the pipe. Amy Hawkins, Heather Blaisdell, Shannon Daniels, and Marla Nielsen painted the pipe.
Chris Blaisdell and Kirk Nielsen took care of getting the cement. Del Timothy initiated the help of Utah Power and Light in getting the hole dug and erecting the pole. UP&L donated their services.

OBITUARY
Parley Odell Davis
May 17, 1943 ~ August 10, 2025
Parley Odell Davis was born on May 17, 1943, in Malad City, Idaho. His entrance was hastened because of a bumpy car ride and a deep rut in the road. He was the third child born to Dale and Afton Davis of St John, Idaho.
As a young boy, Parley loved spending time with his paternal grandparents, Tom and Rachel Davis. He felt extremely close to his grandma Rachel. He spent much time with her mowing the lawn, taking care of the chickens, picking berries, and as he put it, “generally being a pest”. He would often accompany his grandpa Tom into town. At the pool hall, Tom would hand him a Coke and sit him on top of the bar where he could sip his cola and watch his grandpa play pool and cards.
Parley had an undeniable enthusiasm for his career of choice. He loved being a farmer/rancher and found huge satisfaction in watching the results of a job well done. He loved being around the animals, especially horses. He said that whenever something bothered him, or he felt down, he would saddle up and go for a ride or just go catch one and groom or trim its feet. He loved being on a good horse, either cutting cattle, roping, or just trying to train one.
Parley was self-admittedly very bashful, but as he has said, at the age of 34, he finally “got up enough nerve to ask Pat on a date”. His devotion to farm life was evident to Pat, as their first date was with a group of friends to a fertilizer seminar being held at the Green T in Pocatello, Idaho. It must have appealed to Pat, a farm-grown girl herself, because after a couple of years of dating, on February 04, 1977, the two of them eloped to Elko, Nevada, tied the knot, and made it back in time for the next day’s cattle feeding. This began a lifetime of working by each other’s side. Where one was, the other was never far away.
They were sealed for time and all eternity on June 15, 1978, in the Odgen, Utah Temple. In a journal entry, Parley wrote, “Although I didn’t always live my religion previously, I never denied it and I always knew it was true, and after Pat and I were married, I started to realize how much my religion meant to me, and I desired to live it better.”
Parley and Pat had two daughters, Heather Marie and Rachael Ann. He loved them both unconditionally and taught both of them valuable life lessons.
Parley held many church callings, including being in the Elder’s
Quorum Presidency, Sunday School Presidency, Home Teaching, Ward Mission Leader, and Ward Clerk, but nothing could top the icing on the cake, which was his service in the temple. Parley and Pat were called to be temple ordinance workers in the Logan LDS temple in 2001 and spent eight years in their service there. Parley loved being in the temple and made many eternal friends while serving.
On August 10, 2025, at his home in Pleasantview, with a view of “them north hills” and the American flag that he found so much joy in watching, Parley was blessed to pass to the other side with his wife, daughter, grandchildren, and sonin-law at his side.
Parley was an honest, hardworking, generous, patient, kind, loving, humorous, fun-loving, happy man. Among his many gifts, he had the ability to relate to others, listen, calm, de-escalate situations, teach, mediate, and provide comfort and reassurance.
As a family, we have had the opportunity to read through several of Parley’s journal entries over the past few days. He seemed to have a few things that he wrote about often: his love and adoration of Pat, his kids, and grandkids, and updates on the weather and the crops, and animals. But there is one thing in particular that stood out to us. It didn’t matter that the weather had messed up his plans for farming, or that a piece of equipment had broken down, or that he maybe hadn’t felt well that day. So often he closed his journal entry with these 5 words, “It was a good day”.
