A Fun Run for a Good Cause
Last Thursday, Caribou Medical Center brought a large crowd out for an evening Fun Run in support of Mental Health Awareness Month. The Caribou Medical Center’s grounds were filled with runners, walkers, supporters, and hospital employees. The event was supported by a large list of sponsors, which was previously published in the Enterprise. The support included donations for a raffle, as well as volunteer help. Between the traffic control of the police, the kids race assistance of the Grace Grizzlies volleyball team (which event planner Ashley Wright just happens to coach), and the countless volunteers from the hospital and community, it was a great night with a lot of friendly faces.
Mental Health Awareness month is technically over, but the underlying issues are always relevant. Counseling services through Caribou Medical can be scheduled through the main office at 208-547-3341, and there’s no need to wait for a specific signal to do so—if you think it might help, there’s no harm in asking!
Following the kids’ 1 mile race and the adult 5k, tired racers gathered on the lawn to watch the film Inside/Out, which deals with healthy methods for handling emotions.
The event was a Fun Run, of course, but that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t a certain amount of competition among the runners who did it for more than just a good
time.

Drowning at the Flume in Grace
The Caribou County Sheriff’s Office released the following information on Sunday evening.
“On May 31, 2025 at about 1:56pm, the Caribou County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Communication Center received a report of a possible drowning at the Last Chance Flume. The flume is north of Grace on Last Chance Lane. The Caribou County Sheriff’s Office, Caribou County EMS and Caribou County Search and Rescue responded to the scene. Witnesses at the scene reported their friend had jumped into the Bear River from the Flume and had gone under water and not surfaced. The Bear Lake County Sheriff’s Office was contacted and responded to provide assistance with their dive team. At 8:20pm, the victim was located. The victim was an 18 year male from Pocatello, Idaho and his family has been notified. The Last Chance Lane was closed for six hours while the search operation was in process.
We would like to thank the many professional responders from Caribou County, Bear Lake County, Idaho State Police and the volunteers who assisted at the scene. Our condolences go out to the family and friends of the victim during this difficult time.”
Early this week, the Caribou County Coroner confirmed
the identity of the victim as Kameron Aden Bowers, 18, of Pocatello. In the wake of this tragedy, swimmers and others are reminded to be extremely cautious of un-monitored bodies of water. The flume has been a spot of concern for a number of years.
Crazy Love Duo Today!
The Soda Springs Library will be hosting the Crazy Love Duo inside on Thursday, June 5 at 6:00 pm. The musically accomplished pair will be presenting a set of songs based on the experience of living in Idaho, set to a slideshow featuring the work of Idaho artists. It should be an exciting and satisfying night of great music! Admission is free.
CO attack determined to be hate crime
Mohamad Sabry Soliman, 45, posed as a gardener to get close to a group in Boulder holding their weekly demonstration for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza planned to kill them all with Molotov cocktails, authorities said Monday. The man threw two out of the 18 incendiary devices he had into the group of about 20 people, allegedly yelling “Free Palestine” and accidentally burning himself, police said. A total of twelve people were injured in the Sunday attack. Authorities said that he had gas in a backpack sprayer but told investigators he didn’t spray it on anyone but himself “because he had planned on dying.” He allegedly planned the attack for more than a year and specifically targeted what he described as a “Zionist group,” authorities said in court papers charging him with a federal hate crime. The victims who were wounded range in age from 52 to 88, and the injuries spanned from serious to minor, officials said. All four of the latest victims had what police described as minor injuries. Six of the injured were taken to hospitals, and four have since been released.
Mall comes down
Last weekend, the last of the Pine Ridge Mall merchants moved out, leaving behind the empty shell of a once vibrant mall. On Monday, full demolition of the Pine Ridge mall was underway, and the walls coming down. The interior of the mall, including interior corridors and the former JCPenney store, is now fenced off with big construction equipment on site, signaling that full-scale demolition is underway to make room for a new Target superstore and openair shopping center. Traffic flow around the Pine Ridge Mall area may be disrupted in the coming weeks. Business will continue along the mall’s perimeter where several merchants and anchor stores remain open or have temporarily relocated. A Target is the major announcement for stores eventually moving into the space, which should revitalize what had been a moribund, if beloved shopping area.
While a little chaotic, the results came in as follows: Overall Kid Race winner, Calvin Renfroe (will be in

Library Summer Reading season is here!
The kick-off event to the Summer Reading in Soda Springs took place on May 28 from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the library. The event was primarily a registration madhouse, as the canvases handed out to participants ran out at one point, and the numbers were higher than even the generous expectation. (Don’t worry—everyone ended up with art supplies!). Other than the registration itself, a story walk through the park introduced readers to some amazing books, as well as the theme for the summer, which is “Color Our World.”
For the participating libraries, the theme means that the activities for the summer will revolve around art in all its forms. The Soda Springs library will be hosting an “Art Museum” this first full week of events, where various art will be displayed to participants, with many of the artists on hand to discuss them. Eventually, participants will have the chance to display their own art work at the library to show off what they’ve done. Summer Reading will hold programs every Tuesday and (the same program on) Wednesday beginning at 10:30 a.m. for about an hour. The programs are the same on each day. June 3 and 4 will be “The Magic of Art”; June 10 and 11 will be “All the World is a Stage”; June 17 and 18 will be “Art is Musical”; June 24 and 25 will be the Grand Finale, with a water slide, prizes, and more.
The Grace Summer Reading program began this Monday. The kickoff event was held at 10:30 a.m. (younger kids) and 1:00 p.m. (older kids). The event was be held at the Legion Hall building in anticipation of possible rain, but the day dawned sunny, if a bit cooler than it has been recently. Cheryl Kimber, the Education Specialist from PBS, read to the attendees about Flow -
ers, which are another way of thinking about color in the world. The dozens of kids that attended were given seeds, and taught how to plant them to grow at home.
Bancroft’s Summer Reading program will be holding events every Tuesday in June and July at 10 a.m. in the North Gem Library, with the first activity scheduled for June 3 (slightly too late for this week’s press time), when the 4-H will be on hand to present materials to students. The Sheriff’s department, Search and Rescue, Fire Department, Fish and Game, PBS, and many more are also on the calendar. There will be a story, activity, and snack each week, as well as book giveaways and prizes!
Summer reading is an excellent way to prevent kids’ academic skills from deteriorating over the three months that they’d rather not think about school, though you probably shouldn’t tell them
that. It’s also a great chance for them to hang out with other kids, find out about things that didn’t realize they were interested in, and have a great time—you probably can tell them that. For more information, you can call the libraries at these numbers: Soda Springs 208-547-2606; Grace 208-4253695; Bancroft 208-648-7848.

Five Reasons you are not finding your ancestors
Explore the reasons many people encounter roadblocks in their family history research. This class offers actionable strategies to help you break through obstacles and discover your ancestor’s story.
The class will be taught by Esther Melander at 3pm on Sunday, June 8, 2025 at the FamilySearch Center in Soda Springs.
New Food options for the summer
The food truck Beans & Things joins the Belly View BBQ in the area near Kelly Park this summer. Both trucks are relatively new, with Belly View starting up about a month ago, and Beans and Things about a week ago. Both are local and have already become big hits among residents.
Beans and Things offers a variety of coffee, espresso, and dessert items. They are open at an eye-watering 5:00 a.m. in order to make coffee available to mine and plant workers who are out and about at that time. Their hours run until 1:00 p.m. They are the proud brewers of white coffee, which is a more caffeinated variation on the breakfast blend, and I can attest that it’s delicious.
Belly View is open from 11:30 am to 5:30 pm during the week, and has a menu that includes burgers, fries, hot dogs, grilled cheese, and even breakfast food. One specialty of the house is Dutch Oven potatoes, which are made to last until they are all spoken for, which is early! Both are welcome additions to the food landscape, and can be found across from Quick Stop on north Hooper.
Historical Museum Open for the Summer
The Caribou Historical Museum, located on Hooper Avenue across from the Hooper School, is operating under summer hours. Summer hours essentially mean Saturday, although members of the Historical Society can be available for individual or group tours, though appointment. Contact numbers can be found on the museum’s front door during off hours.
County Cleanup Days Underway
Across Caribou County, cities are participating in their own versions of spring cleanup. The county landfill is observing Free Landfill week from the 2nd to the 7th. Check with your city (or a previous Enterprise) for specific details.
Sincere Thanks
It is with appreciation and heartfelt thanks to Kent Corbett for the many years of his time and effort that he has spent in service to our community. Over the years he has posted the American Flags along main street for the national holidays, county fair, and other special occasions. It is the unsung heroes like this among us that bless the lives of so many as they fulfill these acts of thoughtfulness for one and all.
An act of true character is when you do something for someone expecting nothing in return. Thanks again Kent.
Respectfully Yours, Grace American Legion Post #50
Rep. Andrus takes USDA position
District 35A Representative Kevin Andrus (Lava Hot Springs) announced through his media pages, in tandem with a release from the USDA, that he has been appointed to a position within the Trump Administration’s USDA.
According to those releases, Representative Kevin Andrus has been appointed as State Executive Director for the Farm Service Agency in Idaho. He previously served in the Idaho House of Representatives, where he chaired the House Agriculture Committee. Kevin has hands-on experience in agricultural production, including raising cattle and horses, and has also worked as a loan officer for Ireland Bank.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture
Brooke Rollins’ office made the announcement as part of a large slate of presidential appointments for key positions at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) including the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), Farm Service Agency (FSA) and Rural Development (RD).
“President Trump is putting Farmers First, and so is the incredible team we are building at the Department of Agriculture. Our latest additions to the USDA family are personally invested in ensuring farmers and rural America prosper. I look forward to seeing the work they will do supporting farmers, ranchers, and producers across the country by implementing President Trump’s America First policies,” said Secretary Rollins in a press release issued last week.
The release states that “FNS is focused on expanding access to healthy foods grown and raised by American farmers. FSA State Directors help implement President Trump’s America First agenda and execute USDA’s policies in planning, organizing, and administering FSA programs through state offices across the country. RD State Directors help affirm the mission of the Trump Administration by focusing on finding ways to empower rural America and unleash economic prosperity.”
Andrus had previously planned to run for the seat again in 2026, but the vacancy will now be filled by appointment through the party until a special election can be called, according to sources familiar with the process.

Agriculture Comes to Life at Black Canyon Elementary
BY ALEXIS CARROLL, UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO EXTENSION OFFICE
On May 21, students at Black Canyon Elementary School took part in a fun and educational day dedicated to agriculture, an industry deeply rooted in the local community. The event, known as “Ag in the Class”, was hosted by the Caribou County Farm Bureau in collaboration with Caribou County 4-H. The program aims to bring agricultural education directly into classrooms, helping young students understand where their food comes from and the importance of farming in their everyday lives.
Led by volunteers Ashley Tingey and Rachel Hamilton, approximately 294 students from preschool through sixth grade engaged in a hands-on lesson focused on dairy farming. Hamilton, who represents both Caribou County 4-H and the Farm Bureau, guided the session and shared
engaging facts about dairy cattle covering their diets, water needs, the variety of dairy products they help produce, and the quick journey milk takes from farm to grocery store shelves.
One of the highlights of the day was a butter-making activity, where students created their own butter by shaking jars of cream and later enjoying their homemade butter. Another favorite was a life-sized model cow that gave each child the opportunity to try milking, offering a realistic and memorable glimpse into dairy farm life.
Throughout the day, students eagerly asked questions and expressed enthusiasm as they learned more about agriculture’s role in their community. Events like Ag in the Class help bridge the gap between youth and the agricultural world, fostering appreciation and awareness for the farmers and ranchers who sustain our way of life.

Donations sought for Service Project
Members of the Soda Springs 2nd Ward primary (3-11) are seeking donations for a Yard Sale they intend to hold in order to raise money to be given to the Friends of the City Park in Soda.
The primary aged kids were given the chance to decide on a project and a direction for a fundraising effort, and they selected to hold a yard sale at 331 Gagon in Soda Springs on June 7th from 10 am to 2 pm.
All money received through the
sale of items will be given directly to the Friends of the Park for use with maintenance and projects underway at one of Soda’s busiest gathering spots.
More information on the collection times and process for donating will be made available next week in time for the sale preparation, but save the date.
The time coincides with the Citywide cleanup and Free Landfill days, as well. So time to clean for spring!

You can nearly hear the “YEEHAW” from ranch kids everywhere that are celebrating school being out for the summer. They survived one more year sitting at their stuffy desks, studying out of their boring books, and completed all of their tedious projects and assignments to finally be free again, if only for a few short months.
While they are celebrating, their parents are still on the fence on whether they are really ready for their herd of children to be turned back out for the summer. Yes they are relieved that they have survived every band concert, special program, pop quiz, and standardized test. And their gas bill thanks them that the school sports schedule is officially over. But a herd of wild ranch kids running feral for the summer does come with its costs.
CUSTOMER
For dad, it’s really a toss up if having the kids back in tow is good news or bad. It all depends on how much “help” he actually gains for the summer. Since he has the “fun” work of irrigating, haying, moving cows, and the like, of course everyone is going to want to tag along with him every chance they get. There are always jobs he can assign for them to do, but it’s a gamble whether that will actually help get the work done or just make more work for dad in the end.
First, every mom knows that hungry kids are far more savage so a stocked pantry and fridge are a must. But since no ranch kid wants to sit at the kitchen table to eat, keeping food mobile is the challenge. Aside from snacks that are designed to be on the go, having ziplock bags, napkins, and paper plates are going to be just as important to keep amassed as the food itself. If not one of two problems are going to happenyour nice dinnerware is going to end up outside and eventually make their way to the sand pile or get drug off by the dogs. Either way you will never see them again.
By JoAnn Derson
From the first day of summer, hide their “nice” clothes. Don’t even let them have a chance to wear the few clothes that they haven’t stained, ripped or worn out. It only takes wearing them once to the shop to help dad before they are doomed. The official uniform of the summer should always be their ripped jeans and stained t-shirts.
Even with a drawer full of work clothes, you are going to need a large supply of laundry detergent and stain remover for the summer. One of everything should suffice because it seems that there isn’t a soap yet that can keep up with the messes a ranch kid can make.
thing they sit down to drive. Bandaids, ice packs, and boxes of ibuprofen can handle most boo-boos and I will just pray you don’t require anything more than that.
Unfortunately, when summer comes, any semblance of a schedule goes right out the window. Scampering out with dad before breakfast will force lunch to come early, long before you are even ready to make it. Cows moving slow on the cattle drive will delay lunch the next day and you will have to decide if it’s really lunch or dinner. The weather, sunrise, cattle, and breakdowns will have far more sway of the daily schedule than you will. I’m sorry, it’s just how it is.
Don’t let them know it, but you are going to need to lower your expectations of the chore list getting done. Still harp on them to clean their rooms, take their turn scrubbing the toilet and emptying the dishwasher. But just accept that more time playing and working outside will lend to less time playing and working inside. Catching them to follow through with their duties of the day might be as challenging as keeping them fed and clean.
• When cooking meat, you have to take care. Here are two tips straight from my local butcher: First, let meats come to room temperature before cooking. It allows the meat to cook more evenly and you won’t end up with a cold center and a burnt outside. Secondly, when your meat comes off the grill or out of the oven, give it time to rest before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the cut of meat, and you’ll end up with juicy goodness in every bite.
• “Depending on how you scoop it, you can end up with too much or too little flour. Here is a tip about getting the best amount every time. Give the flour a stir with a spoon and then lightly spoon it into a measuring cup. When it is heaped over, use a knife to level out the measure without tamping down.” — Y.E. in Arkansas
For mom, the summer fun is a little more complicated. With a ranch full of adventures to be had, the kids are sure to be in and out with bizarre requests and instantaneous needs. Household wares will disappear as quick and they do, but less likely to reappear at the end of the day. Hearing their daily exploits would be thrilling, but sometimes it’s better to never know what they are really up to.
Now having had a few summers under my belt, I can offer ranch moms a touch of advice to help survive the summer, or at least give them comfort that they aren’t the only ones trying to endure the demands of summer fun.
At some point in the summer, there will be some clothes that will need replacing. I’m not talking about the worn out clothes that you think can’t possibly handle one more day hanging on your kids. Nah, they will last... I’m talking about the clothes that get lost to the black hole of the sandpile, clubhouse, and alfalfa field and never return. At our house socks, gloves, hoodies and even t-shirts find themselves leaving in the morning without ever returning at night.
Be sure to brush up on your first aid skills as summer starts out. Adventurous ranch kids are magnets for rusty nails, sharp barbed wire, and wood splinters. They can’t help but fall from great heights, smash their fingers with rocks and hammers, and crash every-
BRAIN TEASERS
Keeping up with your adventurous ranch kids can be draining, frustrating and maybe even a little demoralizing. Seeing them constantly dirty, tired, hungry and disheveled, losing their clothes, covered in cuts and bruises, and coming up short on their responsibilities might make you feel like you are failing as a mom.
But what they gain as they work and play on the ranch, as they tough out those owies you don’t even see, and as make believe their messy adventures are priceless moments that prove you are doing just great. They will make you crazy trying to keep some sense of order and control, but learning to navigate the unknown of everyday and problem solving on their own will teach lessons they might not learn another way. So hang in there, momma. You’re gonna do great!
• “Baking is a science as well as an art. It’s about interaction of ingredients and what happens when they mix in certain ways. So this is not so much a tip as a caution. Make sure of your substitutions, and use the right amounts of things. Then your cakes will be light and fluffy and your pastry will be flaky and moist.” — B.G. in Pennsylvania
• Berries are in season and there’s no greater time to stock up. But don’t feel like you have to make jam out of all the berries. Freeze in a single layer and transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be popped into muffins and quick breads, as well as eaten straight out of the bag for a delicious treat.
• When searing meat on a stovetop, be sure your pan is oiled (if called for) and at temperature. Otherwise, it’ll stick. Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

LOOKING BACK AT PAGES FROM THE PAST
The following stories are summarized from past issues of the Caribou County Sun over the last fifty plus years. The Enterprise thanks Mark Steele for permission to use the contents, and the Grace Public Library for access to the archives.
2020
U.S. Senators Jim Rausch and Mike Crapo joined Deb Fischer of Nebraska and 16 of their colleagues in writing a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice requesting that the department investigate potential anticompetitive activities in the highly concentrated beef packing sector. “Recent pricing discrepancies between fed cattle and boxed beef are pushing cattle producers and feeders to the brink. Cattlemen across America seriously question the ability for their children to take over what are frequently multi-generational family-owned operations that serve as the engines for their communities and our country’s food supply,” the letter said.
Over 60 people attended the special meeting of the Soda Springs City Council Wednesday to hear the city officials discuss and revise a four-page proposed ordinance addressing junk, weeds, lawns, parking of RVs and trailers, and setting penalties and clean-up costs if the city has to step in. While the city took no comments from the public at the work session, they said a public hearing is set for June 3 for comments on the proposed ordinance. The two hour meeting was, at times, a little contentious among the council members and the. Mayor, but the group worked towards addressing many concerns they had to help make the ordinance clearer, interject common sense, and temper the penalties. Mayor Jim Smith said he had asked City Attorney Clyde Nelson for a more organized ordinance addressing junk in yards, parking in front of homes, weeds, and unkempt lawns. The previous junk ordinance never addressed how to enforce it. “This gives us standards so property owners know what they have to do,” Nelson said about being more specific in the new ordinance. One change was allowing equipment at a commercial or industrial location to be parked at the business, but not on the curb line, as well as keep products or materials used in the operations at those commercial sites in the city. A length of eight inches tall—the same as weeds—was determined to be the point at which grass will become and ordinance violation. Councilman Lau argued for common language and simplicity in the ordinance. Council President Mitch Hart came out strongly against the city micromanaging the issues and hoped that the changes would remain reasonable.
Coleen Bensen, Chesterfield Foundation secretary, accepted a donation check from the Butterfield family to help with the restoration of the Muir-Butterfield House on the historic Chesterfield town site on Memorial Day. Standing at the porch with Coleen were Jennie, Dorothy, Melvin, and Rhoda Butterfield, who are part of the oldest generation of Butterfields living at this time. A good group of Butterfields gathered to visit and tour the home. New windows and doors are currently being put in to protect it from the weather. Once this project is finished, work will commence on the inside as funds become available.
Recently, the Caribou Historical Society received a donation from the Idaho Community Foundation through the Caribou Development Foundation. Through a cooperative effort the Caribou Development Foundation was able to present a $3,336 check to a local non profit group and selected the Caribou Historical Society to help with their renovation of the old ZCMI/Stoor’s Grocery building. The donation was greatly appreciated and went a long way in paying for the new flooring in the main store part of the building. “We are nearing a point where we can show off our progress again, so if conditions allow we will be having another open house. If you visited us last year on the 4th of July you will be amazed at how far
we have come in the last year,” said Bill Horsely of the Caribou Historical Society. Soda Springs School District publicly thanked Janet Mumford for her years of serving the local youth. Mrs. Mumford has been playing the piano since she was 4 years old, and has contributed to many programs in the district. She graduated from BYU-Provo with a bachelors degree in music. “It has been such a joy for me these last few years to be the accompanist for the middle school choirs and Soda Pops choir at the high school. It has been so fun to work with several music teachers and dozens of great students,” Mrs. Mumford said. “I will miss Mrs. Seamons and Debi Hansen very much. All the teachers and staff in both schools are great people and I appreciate all of you and your kindness to me.”
The Caribou County Rodeo Queen Committee announced the results of the 2020 Caribou County Fair Rodeo Queen and Ambassador contest. Lydia Hamilton, daughter of Shane and Rachel Hamilton was crowned Senior Queen. The Princess royalty included: Junior Queen Aspen Skinner, daughter of Alan and Kristen Skinner; 1st Attendant McKinley Yamauchi, daughter of Rawlee and Hailey Yamauchi; 2nd Attendant Annalyse Harris, daughter of Todd and Rachel Hale. The committee also announced the first Caribou County Fair Ambassador, Carson Reeves, son of Shelley and Jody Reeves. The Speech Presentations were judged in part by Caribou County’s first Rodeo Queen, Karen Torgesen Crane, who served in 1955. Darlene Gunnell served as queen in 1983 in Caribou County, as well as several other Southeast Idaho rodeos.
The Caribou County Commissioners heard a presentation from Zions Bank about refinancing the county jail. The original loan for construction was from 2004, but the COVID 19 outbreak has created an environment of lower interest rates, which might be worth pursuing by way of decreasing the expense over the life of the loan. The loan currently sits at $3.225 million with maturity in 2033. The average interest rate is 5 percent and variable. ZCMI can offer a rate of around 2.5 percent, with a $52,000 refinancing cost.
Landfill Supervisor Jayson Lower said that had a record April, with 41 more tons than last April. Over the year as a whole, the difference was 500 more tons. Lower said spring cleanup was a huge success and he was impressed with the people of Caribou County. He stated that he “likes that everyone is doing their part to help take care of the county.”
2015
North Gem High students met at the Bancroft Memorial Park following lunch to enjoy an afternoon of the “Cowboys in Action” service to the community. They met at the pavilion for their instructions. A quick flash of lightning and a big clap of thunder, quickly followed by a rain/hail storm, immediately started the afternoon off, but the students pressed forward anyway. The outgoing and incoming student body officers dig a hole for the freshmen class to plant a tree by the playground in remembrance of their former classmate, Peyton Rindlisbaker. They has earned the funds for this tree with a Color Run on May 9. Following the planting of the tree, the group was split into smaller groups, and they were found in the park, Teuscher Square, and at City Hall weeding and planting flowers for the community to enjoy. Bring your horse to the Caribou County Fairgrounds on June 20 to join in the fun competition for the first of three Play Days presented this summer by Ledge Creek Horse Park. Play Day games will consist of Rode and Lead, Tortoise Race, Egg and Spoon, Potato Race, Rope Race, Musical Chairs, Barrel Race, and Pole Bending! Play Day games are geared to skill level rather than age. Kids and adults can compete in either of two levels—novice allows riders to walk or trot the fames
and an open level allows riders to trot and canter through the games. Girl Scout Troop 598 will offer concessions.
2010
Thatcher LDS Ward recently honored five of their young men who received their Webelos rank and their Arrow of Light. Barbara Gibson from Grace awarded their arrows to them with a special ceremony. Those who received this honor were Mark McGregor, Landon Wheeler, Brandon Smith, Lincoln Skinner and Bryce Mathews. They would like to thank their past and current leaders for all their help and encouragement.
The PTO sponsored Thirkill Elementary Fun Run was another great success this year. On Thursday, the award assembly was held. The children raised almost $13,000. They want to thank all who donated money to the children and to all the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, and fans who came to cheer the children on. Over 100 prizes were given out in a drawing to any child who brought back their money packet. The grand prize winners were 1st place John Michael Kator, 2nd place Cedar Hopkins, and 3rd place Erik Vettegren.
Story hour Kids at the Grace Library had their second annual Pajama Party, which is hosted by the Grace District Library by Grandma Dina (Dina Smith) each spring. The kids were invited to wear their pajamas and bring a favorite stuffed animal to listen with them as they enjoyed stories, made small pillows, and snacked on filled graham cracker cookies. They are all ready to register for the Summer Reading Program at the library which runs through the month of June.
2000
Students at SSHS in Dave Henesh’s class prepared a gravel pad and compacted it prior to pouring cement for the base of bleachers at the football and track field. Students in the welding and construction classes were doing the work with cement pour expected this week. The instructor said the students, as well as those donating equipment and materials—Mullen Crane, Henesh Construction and Jack B. Parson—made the project happen that benefits the school district and patrons, as well as gives the students hands-on construction.
Part of a timber failure resulted in subsequent damage of about 80 feet of the wooden flume that conveys water out of the UP&L Grace Plant, where the water is used to generate electricity and then diverted back into the river. The incident took place on the night of May 7. About 100 feet of the flume will be repaired, along with the dirt work necessary to fill the washout that angled down into Bear River. Circle C Construction is doing the repairs.
The weather was very cooperative this past week at the Soda Springs Public Library, when story time kids from 2 years to 12 years old planted flowers provided by the city, with the help of Jon Harris, City Parks and Recreation director, and Heidi Lish, city worker. Harris and Lish showed over 50 kids how
to dig holes and set the colorful flowers. Children’s Librarian Valerie Ahmann read books and served gummy worms and sunflower seeds for snacks, and provided real “bait worms” for the kids to liberate into the planted flower beds.

The 23-year-old Navyman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Myron A. Isle of Soda Springs, is married to the former Miss Kathy Rausch of Soda Springs. Isle works as a clinical laboratory technician at the hospital. He was graduated from Soda Springs High School in 1965 and before entering on July 24, 1966, he attended Utah State University. He reported to NSA Da Nanag for duty in August 1969.
Construction of a covered foot bridge at Hooper Spring was completed recently by City Management Crew members Darrell (Buck) Lallatin, Bill Meccico and Neal Hemmert. The bridge, designed by Supt. Jack Miller, replaces the old foot bridge near the pavilion. The Hooper Spring area has been improved extensively this spring with repainting of tables and other fixtures, and general clean of the picnic grounds for enjoyment by the public.

New Bench In Grace City Park
Park goers in Grace have a new place to sit thanks to Trinity Corder, a recent graduate of Grace High School. Trinity created and designed a durable metal bench that features the local high school’s name and logo. The bench is the culmination of hours of hard work and research that was all part of Trinity’s senior project.
Trinity had worked for Spartan Steel and had begun the process of learning a program called autocad prior to starting her senior project. When she began to think about different projects that she could work on for her senior project Trinity wanted to apply the skills she had learned through the autocad program in a way that could benefit the community. After much thought Trinity settled on making a bench for the Grace City Park where seating is limited especially near the playground. Once her decision had been made she knew it would be a process to achieve her goal and finish the project.
“I had to decide what did I want on it? What do I want it to look like? Where am I going to get the parts, the metal, and how do I raise money for it?” So Trinity got to work coming up with a design. “A lot of people don’t do autocad. Specifically girls, but it was super fun to learn. It took months to learn the system to be comfortable enough to do it all on my own.” The process was tedious and took endless hours of work drafting the design.
“It was really fun to learn to do all of this and I will remember how to do all of this for a while.”
After designing the bench Trinity needed to get the city to approve her putting it in the park. To do this she approached Mayor Barthlome who was thrilled with the prospect of more seating around the playground.
The bench was then constructed at Spartan Steel with Trinity’s design. The bench was then brought to the high school where Trinity presented her senior project. Students at the high school were then able to enjoy the bench being
in the hallway for a short period of time prior to its move to the park. Several of the students commented on how much they liked the bench and wished it was staying in the school for their use.
Finally just a few short days prior to graduation the day arrived for the bench to be installed at the park. The spot selected is near the playground on the east side of the park under a shade tree.
When asked how she felt the project turned out Trinity replied, “I’m super happy and a lot of people have given me compliments on it.”
Mayor Barthlome stated, “We’re very appreciative of what she did. It’s a nice asset to our park. Thank you very much.”
One last note. Why a bench for the park? Well kitty corner from where this bench now sits on the far side of the park is another bench. That bench was placed in memory of Ralph Thornock. Trinity’s great-grandfather. You can almost picture Ralph sitting on his bench looking across the park at his great-granddaughter’s bench with a sense of pride.

Southeast Region Fish Stocking Updates
Many of Idaho’s lakes and ponds are soon going to be bolstered with Idaho Fish and Game stocking over 275,000 catchable-sized rainbow trout this June. Wondering if the stocking trucks are going to be backing up to your favorite fishing hole? We asked our Fish and Game hatchery staff to boil down some of the most notable stocking highlights coming to your local fishery this month.
Fishing for stocked rainbow trout can be a great way to introduce budding anglers to the sport by using simple, inexpensive setups. Many of these fisheries highlighted below are easy to access, family-friendly fishing destinations. All you need to get started is a fishing license, and youth (under 14) fish for free. If you need a license, purchasing one on the fly is easy to do with your smartphone—and you can start fishing immediately!
Bannock Reservoir – 3,000 rainbow trout
Located within the Portneuf Wellness Complex near the County Fairgrounds in Pocatello, this community park offers good trout fishing. Multiple docks provide fishing access around the 5-acre pond.
Bear River – 2,000 rainbow trout
These fish will be stocked in the scenic Oneida Narrows reach of the river. Make it an overnight trip and set up camp at Redpoint Campground. Ten developed sites are available on a first-come, firstserve basis.
Cub River – 500 rainbow trout
These fish will be stocked in and around the very popular Willow Flat Campground.
Devil Creek Reservoir – 2,160 rainbow trout
Without a doubt, this reservoir provides some of the best trout fishing in the region and is easily accessible. Located 8 miles north of Malad, it is visible from Interstate 15.
Edson Fichter Pond – 1,900 rainbow trout
This community pond is located along the Portneuf River at Edson Fichter Nature Area. It features several docks and a trail for access around the pond. Just minutes from downtown Pocatello, this site offers local anglers a convenient escape close to home.
Kelly Park Pond – 250 rainbow trout
Located in Soda Springs, accessing this pond requires a short walk, but it offers a great kids fishing opportunity. Lace up the boots, grab the fishing poles, and take the kids on a nature walk!
Montpelier Creek – 1,000 rainbow trout
Enjoy good creek fishing and a variety of camping options. These fish will be stocked at multiple spots below the dam.
Montpelier Rearing Pond – 500 rainbow trout
This little fishing spot is tucked into a scenic high desert canyon in the hills east of Montpelier. It’s a great spot to take kids fishing.
Montpelier Reservoir – 1,000 tiger trout
This reservoir offers angling opportunity for a variety of fish species in a peaceful rural setting.
Fair Kickoff Concert seeks opening act
The Caribou County Fair will be coming to Grace in August, and there’s nothing I like more than fairs. And if there is, it might be at a fair anyway. This year’s theme is “Blue Jeans and Country Dreams,” and should be another great event. Daphney Medina is adding a bit of extr excitement to the kickoff event, a free concert at the Fairgrounds Arena featuring Alex Sharpe, Mark Mackay, and Ryan Shupe on August 2. Many Caribou County residents may know Sharpe, whose Irish lilt stood out even among the Celtic Women she is most known for. A local act is being given the chance to audition through a video submission, which will be judged by the performers for the concert.
The fair being an event that draws the county together, the Enterprise is a big believer in the importance of the Caribou County Fair. Medina is looking for performers, as well as support of other kinds. For our part, I’m going to give her the space to make her case, and we endorse the effort completely!
Daphney Medina:
Hello!
Maybe you’ve heard, maybe you haven’t...I am so excited to be organizing a concert to kick off our very own Caribou County Fair this year! We have 3 incredibly talented artists coming to put on an amazing show! But, here is my favorite part -- ANYONE and EVERYONE is invited to submit an audition video to be an Opener for the Concert! It gets better -- the ARTISTS will be choosing their favorites! Is that cool or what?!
The theme of the fair this year is “Blue Jeans & Country Dreams.”
There are a lot of really talented dream-
ers out there that I hope will submit an audition video for their shot at being a STAR! Maybe you are one of them? If singing on stage isn’t your thing, don’t worry! You can still help! I am looking for sponsors, vendors, and volunteers to make this event a HUGE success! If this is more up your alley, please let me know!
The concert is FREE to the public, so any size of sponsorship donation would be greatly appreciated. What do you get with your donation? I’m very glad you asked!
All sponsors will be featured in all the advertising I do for the concert as well as mentioned on the stage concert night. Yes, high level donors will be featured in larger print. Banners, flyers, booths, or a combination of all of the above are welcome and encouraged to be hung up, handed out, and manned on concert night.
Not able to donate? No problem! Maybe you have a business you’d like to set up as a Vendor for concert night?
Vendors could include food, drinks, clothing, jewelry, face painting, balloon animals, photo booths, the list goes on! Let me know what you’re dreaming up, and I’ll try to help you make it a reality! Maybe you don’t want to miss out on all the action but do better behind the scenes? Let me tell you, I LOVE my volunteers! Events take some work, and many hands make the work lighter. Please let me know if you want to be part of the “CREW,” and I will be forever grateful to you and your kind heart!
Check out the flyer I’ve attached on the left. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I am very excited to partner with you to make this concert a success!

Summer Leagues
A quick note—there are a lot of overlapping and also scattered pieces to the summer sports world, and I’m sure I’ll get something wrong. Luckily, those with kids playing should have a good idea about their own kids’ schedules, or know who to contact for detailed information. For now, I’m just hoping to carve out a space for presenting Rec League and City League sports as I can. I’ll try to expand what we present to include as many teams and sports as possible, but this is something of a test run.
On this page, you’ll see the schedule for T-Ball in the county. Last week was the first practice for the Soda Springs teams, and presumably the Grace and Bancroft teams as well. Because of the limited number of teams overall (which nonetheless reflect a LOT of kids), Grace and Bancroft play against Soda, and the field locations include all three places. The schedule includes the team number designation and coach names, except in the case of Grace, which still needs to be tracked down. Hopefully, the chart makes sense to the parents of kids involved in T-Ball. If it doesn’t, we’ll adjust it for next week.
During the first practice, the field at Kelly Park was filled with kids of different ages and skill levels from the smallest to the more advanced. If the amount of fun and eagerness on display is any gauge, these kids are raring to go! The teams are being coached by volunteers, most of whom have kids
playing this summer. The purpose of the rec league is to give kids a supervised place to learn and practice their skills, to meet other kids, and to develop the kinds of good habits that come along with organized sports. The rec department in Soda Springs can be contacted with any questions about T-Ball events or scheduling, at the City Office.
In addition, a number of traveling teams are underway this summer, and that’s where the more complicated tasks for tracking them come up. Based on the information I’ve been able to gather so far, the county is hosting at least the following: Caribou Crushers 9U coached by Bryan Triplett, Jayden Parker, Jeff Parker and Niki Parker; Caribou Crushers 10U, coached by Cade White, Chanse Porter, Jeff Parker, and Owen Teuscher; Caribou Crushers 12U, coached by Bryan Triplett et al; Caribou Xtreme 14U, coached by Lynzi Hobbs, Morgan Steele, Ashley Ozburn, and Melissa Ayers; Caribou Xtreme 12U, coached by Holly Smith, Felisha Batterton, and Shantae Skinner.
These teams can be followed on the “Gamechanger” app, on which teams can be followed, and their results and scheduled as they are made available. Although I don’t know how it will work out, I will try to bring results of both T-Ball and travelling as they happen. Please be patient—like I said, it’s a bit of an experiment!

All County End Of Year Honors
As another year of school is in the books we thought that we would hand out our last two awards for the 202425 athletic school year. For our final awards we have selected one male and one female athlete from each school for our Athlete of the Year and our Unsung Hero of the Year. Our athlete of the year is pretty self explanatory. It goes to who we feel best represented each school in athletics throughout this past school year. Our Unsung Hero award goes to individuals who were intricate parts of their teams but for whatever reason never really got the recognition they deserved. In the case of both awards the athletes’ chances at being selected were greatly increased by their participation in multiple sports, something we here at the Enterprise greatly support. Without any further ado here are our final honorees of the year.
