Oneida County's News Since 1879 Malad City, Idaho

October 26, 2023 |Vol. 143 No. 43

Great Idaho Shakeout! On Thursday of last week, Malad participated in the Great Idaho ShakeOut! The exercise is a way for cities, counties, and emergency response networks to test their communications and response protocols for emergency situations, specifically an earthquake. While Idaho is not often known for frequent or intense earthquakes, they certainly do occur, including the noted earthquake that affected Oneida County in 1975. According to the Great Idaho Shakeout! organizers, “The mountains and valleys of southeastern Idaho lie within the Intermountain Seismic Belt and tectonic belts II and III of the Yellowstone Tectonic Parabola. This is one of the most earthquake prone regions of Idaho. Paris and the Bear Lake Valley experienced strong shaking and damage in 1884 from a magnitude 6 earthquake. In 1934, the largest historic Utah earthquake (Hansel Valley magnitude 6.6) occurred just 20 miles south of the Idaho border. In 1975, the second largest historic Idaho earthquake struck the Pocatello Valley west of Malad City. This magnitude 6.1 event damaged 520 homes.” During largescale disaster events such as earthquakes, the first problem municipalities are confronted with is the stability and performance of the communication network. As emergency workers and

NEWS IN BRIEF Israeli-Gaza war shows no signs of slowing

Since the surprise attack on Oct. 7, thousands on both sides of the conflict have died, and there seem to be no signs of slowing. Since the attack, dozens of countries have pledged aid to either side, and visits have been made by heads of state and dignitaries, including President Biden. Experts expect to see hostilities increase as it appears Israel is preparing for a large scale ground invasion into Gaza.

mitigation teams work to respond to the needs of the situation, they are reliant on the ability to communicate with other agencies and retrieve information from those on the ground and in operation. As was recently seen during the wildfires in Hawaii, the loss of communications networks can result in a great deal of chaos, destruction of property and loss of life, especially during the initial hours of the emergency. As a result, the Great Idaho Shakeout! provides a means of dry-running and stress testing the critical response and communication systems

in an area to determine what needs to be improved upon or corrected. At the heart of the test was the local HAM Radio club, the RACOONs. Club President Wilfred Clavell was in place bright and early at the temporary communication center in the Search and Rescue building. As the “net controlller” for the drill, Clavell was responsible for establishing the “net” (or network of verified HAM operators) that defined the invisible borders of the communications zone. Members of the RACOON club and others spread out

across the valley at critical infrastructure points. Because this mock emergency involved an earthquake, the reservoirs, as well as the local schools and the freeway, were monitored. Communications with each of the designated areas was tested and the equipment run through its paces. As the morning wore on, members checked in from their assigned locations. Most of the check ins went fine, with no emergencies to report, though a damn breach was reported GREAT IDAHO SHAKEOUT On Page 3

Halloween Night at the Library

Local librarian Elizabeth Kent and bestselling author John Olsen returned to the Oneida County Library for a night of myths, legends, and potentially true stories. This year, the library decided to provide two separate events, one for the younger crowd and one for adults and older teens that allowed for a more open discussion of some of the scarier elements of the conversation. Elizabeth Kent began the evening’s event with a presentation for those up to age 14, which covered some of the origins of Halloween traditions. Her studies in Folklore at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland put her right in the heart of the origin of many of our modern Halloween traditions. Folkore, as she explains “is the story of what people have believed in the past, and sometimes still do.” She began with a discussion of the observance of “Samhain,” which is a Celtic name for “harvest” and marks the time when the familiar world is at its closest to the world of spirits, fairies, and other supernatural things. In recognition of this thin veil between the two worlds, Celtic people from hundreds of years ago observed a number of practices to help keep themselves safe, including

With no clear frontrunner for the new Speaker of the House, the situation is looking dire once more. Having narrowly avoided a shutdown not long ago, Congress has less than a month to get the House in order before they risk a shutdown yet again. Nine house republicans have thrown their hats in the ring to be considered for Speaker of the House, but a decision is still likely far away.

Alaskan Airline flight lands safely after attempted takeover

An Alaskan Airline flight from Seattle to San Fransisco made an unscheduled landing in Portland on Sunday, Oct. 22. The cause was an off-duty pilot who attempted to take control of the aircraft, and apparently shut down the engines. The man was immediately subdued and removed from the cockpit, and arrested upon landing. The motive behind these actions is still under investigation, though the man is being charged heavily for interfering with the flight.

A humorous and somewhat risqué Halloween display in Grantsville has received national attention and has been requested by the city to be removed. The display, which features a skeleton using a street sign like a pole dancer, with other skeletons watching, has been the source of consternation for many citizens in the area. Other citizens, however, have contributed, adding more skeletons to the scene as the days have passed.

City Council Election Profiles Elections for the City Council are scheduled for November 7, 2023 at the Oneida County Event Center. Under Idaho law, polling locations will remain open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on election day. Currently, the City Council includes councilmembers Jaime Olsen, Tyrell Neal, Larry Thomas, and Lance Tripp. City council has a wide range of duties throughout the city, including establishing and updating city policies and ordinances,

Lance Tripp

approving the city’s budget, serving as liaisons to a number of taxing districts, and as advisory members to a number of regional, state, and in some cases national organizations. Decisions about the maintenance of roads, buildings, and city assets including property are all made by the city council. The city council also coordinates with the county on a number of issues, including the Impact Zone that shapes development in the area just outside the city limits.

For those who may not know me, my name is Lance Tripp. I am married to my beautiful wife Staci, and we have 3 daughters, one son, and 7 grandkids. I have lived in Malad most of my life and have watched it change and grow over the years. My roots in Malad run deep. As a young child, I explored every nook and cranny of our town, riding my bike with friends, collecting pop bottles to trade for candy at Mill Stream Grocery, and watching from the seat of my bike the day when Jack's Snacks burned to the ground. My teenage years were filled with playing sports for the Malad Dragons and cruising our town in my '68 Mustang. Much of my adult life has been spent serving on committees, in church callings, and re-upholstering most of your furniture. I also had the honor of serving as the Chamber of Commerce president for about 10 Years. I have served the past 12 years on the city council with an emphasis on the city park. We have made great strides in the park by adding things like the splash pad, walking path lighting, basketball court, a new pavilion, a new well and electrical hub for future expansion, and most recently Pickleball courts. We have been able to do a lot of these things with the help of grants. While the park is fun and improves the quality of life for residents, Malad faces many challenges in the coming years. We have an aging infrastructure that we need to upgrade. Many roads are in need of fixing. Our town is growing and our utilities are in need of upgrades to keep up with the growth. I plan to work

Additionally, a number of operations throughout the year rely on joint cooperation between city, county, and sometimes state and federal representatives. Over the course of the city council terms up for a vote, the city will continue and take on a number of important issues, including the Impact Zone, road and development projects, water system updating, ordinance enforcement, and many others. This year, two seats on the city council are

united with the other council members to tackle these, and other challenges with minimum impact to the tax payer. As a city councilman, my primary focus has always been, and will continue to be, the financial well-being of our city. I am committed to making sure your money is used wisely for the benefit of our community. I always try to see every issue from all angles and make decisions that are in the best interests of our town and its residents. I have been truly blessed to be a part of the service to the people of Malad, and my hope is that our children and grandchildren will continue to find Malad a safe place where they can create their own wonderful memories, just as I have had the privilege to do.

All three are likely familiar faces to residents of the city, and all three work and have worked in positions that give them a base of knowledge about both city and county operations. To help provide information to voters, each candidate for the election was asked to provide a brief personal introduction and overview of their plans for the city. Those are printed below.

Lynette from Bernina Stylish Fabrics.

Oneida County Quilt Guild Meeting for October 12th, 2023 Jill Vanderwood: Historian We had a special class on machine binding a quilt, taught by Lynette from Bernina Stylish Fabrics in Logan, Utah. Mary Ellen Knutson taught us how to hand sew a quilt binding. Lynette’s advice is: “Done is better than perfect! And if someone critiques my mistakes, they are not my friend.” She doesn’t always cut her binding on the bias. Only a handful of the ladies in the room raised their hands when she asked if they cut their binding on the bias. She loves to use Best Press spray starch for pressing. Press the iron down to press. If you iron your quilt fabric with a back-and-forth motion, it will stretch the fabric. Lynette uses 2 ½ inch binding. She uses a walking foot and drops her needle 1 or 2 positions to the left before stitching. She sews her binding on one side through all layers with a straight stitch and a ¼ inch seam. She then folds it over to sandwich all layers and sews with a serpentine stitch on top through all layers. This is a wavy stitch. She uses clips instead of pinning everything together. She likes using Wonder Clips from Hobby

Lobby, or you can buy fabric clips online. If you go into Bernina Stylish Fabrics and tell them that you are a member of a quilt guild, they will give you 20% off on batting. She also likes to use friction pens to mark everything. This pen will erase when you iron your project. Lynette uses leaders and enders: This is a piece of left over scrap fabric to use for the beginning stiches and the ending stitches. This helps so that the fabric doesn’t get stuck in a hole and become tangled up when beginning or ending a project. She was sewing on a Bernina Active 230 sewing machine with an extra table attached. Lynette recommends for us to clean and oil our machines after every two bobbins. She uses a small brush—resembling a very small pastry brush, to clear out all the lint. She says to only oil the hook on your bobbin casing. She uses a small oil container with a very long narrow tube to oil. Another very interesting tool that Lynette was using was called a Galaxy Notions Un-picker. This tool was very interesting to those of us who make regular use of a seam ripper. It resembles a small neck trimming tool used by a barber.

at Crowthers, along with updates on the response team who was working to fix it. In conjunction with the event, the elementary school held an emergency evacuation drill. While for the most part everything ran smoothly, there were a few hiccups. For instance, a few of the communications from the repeater were inaudible, but cleared up after the position had been moved or switched to the handheld network. “This is what we call a pathfinding mission,” Clavell said. “We’re going to find out what works and what doesn’t so that we’ll know for next time.” County Emergency Planner Dan Williams was also on hand for the event. “This is a good

thing for us,” Williams said. “We can get a better sense of where we might need to make changes.” Throughout the morning, a number of useful things were discovered. One issue that dominated the morning’s communication was the difference in signal strength between direct radio to radio communication and communication through the repeater. In some locations, one system produced better results than the other, and vice versa. “The key is five feet,” Mustos said. “Just move five feet from where you were and see if you can hear anybody.” Another issue was the relative performance of difference communication rigs. The members of the club have a range of devices at the disposal, from handheld radios to truck-based antenna

mounts. Depending on the area’s topography and other factors, some setups produced better results than others. Knowing where those kinds of issues exist in the valley was one of the essential goals of the exercise. Don and Brenda Daniels, for instance, were a short distance from some of the other network members, but had opposite experiences with their equipment. In the event of an actual emergency, HAM radio communication would be used to support or even replace the county’s in place emergency communication network. As many elements of that system utilize digital communications, power outages, faulty generators, or other types of interference could render them unreliable or inoperative.

Club member Jim Mustos suggested that in future events and drills it would be advisable to have one or two “rovers,” who could be sent from location to location to provide communication access to locations where the primary communication networks were not functioning. As club member Bill Drury stated, “In an emergency, everything goes crazy, and we have to be ready for it.” In addition to the primary RACOON members, also on hand were Brian Jeppsen representing the County Commissioners, and John Williams representing Nell J Redfield. The hospital is one of the most critical locations for the city and county in any emergency. “This is something we really needed,” he said. “This helps us out

a lot.” For the next drill, the radio operators plan to make the scenario more realistic. Rather than starting from pre-positioned locations, they will send out a notice calling everyone to their spots from their homes. The added level of response required will better recreate the type of emergency mobilization that something like an earthquake would require. “I’m impressed by how we did,” Jim Mustos said. “I’d like people to know that this is a great tool, and we’re not here to make any decisions. We’re going to be available to help the people who need to make decisions talk to each other.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

I am sorry to see this agricultural valley turned into a field of homes. In March of 1868, the Joseph Palmer family came to Malad—Father, Mother, 4 brothers, one sister. They had camped and were looking for land when a man by the name of Woodhead came to the camp. He said he had taken up squatter’s right of land and he wantd to sell it as he was going East. He said he would sell his right to this land for a yoke of cattle and a wagon. He said the land was about 3 or 4 miles west of Malad on the Big Bend of the Malad River. They accepted his offer and moved on the land March 25, 1868. In the fall of 1869 the family, with the exception of Joseph, became discouraged and left for Nebraska. Joseph was unmarried and 20 years of age. When he saw his family leave he said he felt pretty blue and lonesome as he sat watching them go. Joseph stayed and built up a horse ranch known as the Big Bend Ranch which is where I live. What is happening to this great agriculture valley settled in 1868? Now when I travel on any road across the valley I see new homes (BIG HOMES) everywhere and it makes me sad. I used to see fields of wheat, alfalfa and grassland filled with cattle and horses. Dear friends and neighbors, please don’t let this agricultural valley become a subdivision of homes. I grew up on the dry Eastern Plains of Colorado wherein our big concern was the availability of water and protection of that water. And I am still very concerned with the availability of water to sustain life. With the development of these new homes each needs a good source of water and many wells are being drilled throughout the valley. Now the once-abundant source of water for this valley is dropping as the water table throughout the valley continues to drop. Please think about the fact that we are losing this great source to sustain this valley. It is very possible the Malad Valley will become a desert. Sincerely, Edna Palmer, Owner of Palmer Ranch

Oneida County Ambulance earns recognition In every fairytale story, there is always a hero coming to save the day. It doesn’t matter how evil the villain is or the size of the dragon, the hero will simply always come. For the most part, it's understood that this sort of a rescue can only be found in these sorts of tales. But in the moment of an emergency, one can’t help but hope for a hero and a rescue, someone that can come and save the day. From a burglar to a house fire to a terrible accident, there are emergency services that should always be on the way, but the truth is, that isn’t always the case. A quick response in the midst of an emergency is a luxury less than half of the population across the country enjoys, especially when it comes to Emergency Medical Services (EMS). It’s even more unlikely in a rural area where the EMTs are volunteers. It’s not that volunteer EMTs aren’t as good or as capable to provide the necessary services, but rather it’s the fact that it is an ever increasing challenge to retain volunteer EMTs and finance up to date equipment and training for them. Throughout the United States, rural communities are facing a shortage of EMTs, a dilemma even Idaho is struggling with as 69% of the population of Idaho is dependent on rural services. In these areas, most ambulance units run short

staffed and underfunded. With so many communities in crisis mode in an attempt to provide the EMS needed, a well funded, well operated unit such as the Oneida County Ambulance (OCA) is a rare thing to behold. It may seem that the local EMTs are merely meeting the expectation of quick services and good healthcare that all ambulance units should run at, but the level of care that Oneida County citizens receive is far better than many other communities in the state and across the country could hope for. While there isn’t a magic formula to make a unit run well, there are several components that have helped the OCA remain a department that is well served and well funded so that it can in turn provide great services to their friends and neighbors in need. First and foremost, the OCA is an all hands on deck, everybody-pitchin-and-help kind of a place. Every person on the unit is a certified EMT that also takes on other responsibilities to keep the unit running at peak performance. Every two years, a new administrative board is voted in by the members to carry out the affairs of the unit. Together they carry the load of billing, writing and applying for grants, training, finances, equipment maintenance, supplies, communications, community involvement

and scheduling. Their shared awareness and responsibilities lends to a higher level of commitment and satisfaction in their work and their department. When it comes to the hands-on work on scene, every member brings with them their own talents that work together to provide the best possible services. For some it is their patient care, for others it is being able to take command of the scene and logistically think through the needs of the situation. Capabilities of driving, navigating, and making it to the scene are just as necessary as the on scene patients care skills. Through their various call outs, trainings and other services they render, the EMTs of the OCA have developed a strong camaraderie with one another. It might sound cliche, but when it comes down to it, they are family. Their good working relationship extends beyond their own unit to the local hospital doctors, nurses and other staff that they often work hand in hand with. The unit is always looking for ways and areas that they can improve whether it is in how they set the schedule for the upcoming month or how they communicate, progress is always a high priority. At the heart of the unit is true service that each member wants to give to the community that they love. The OCA EMTs live and serve amongst their friends, families, neighbors and coworkers. When there is someone in need, it's entirely possible that they know them on a personal level and want them to receive the best care possible. Many rural ambulances around the country have had to shut down largely due to insuffi-

cient funding. EMS is not deemed an essential service by the federal government which means they do not provide ambulance units any funding. 39 states also do not consider their services essential, including Idaho. Some cities and counties designate some of their tax dollars for EMS but at the cost of higher taxes for their citizens. The OCA operates with 100% of its funding from various grants intended for emergency services, a feat that hasn’t come easily. Various members of the unit have worked tirelessly to find, write and apply to grants that have in turn allowed them to upgrade and install top of the line equipment that not only make their jobs easier, but gives their patients greater care. While the EMTs in Oneida County are volunteers, they do receive a small payment for each ambulance run they are called out on. The compensation is hardly the “thank you” they deserve, but it is enough to motivate the EMTs to remain with the unit and maybe even provide a little extra Christmas

money. Recently, the OCA unit was recognized for their great care as they received the 2022 Zero Traffic Fatalities First Responder award, presented by the Idaho Transportation Department of Highway Safety. In 2022, there wasn’t a traffic related death in Oneida County which in large part is due to their great care. At times there are accidents and circumstances that are

beyond any medical help, but in those countless moments that help could be rendered, the OCA gave the very best. They may not wear a cape or be a knight in shining armor, but people can take confidence that when in need, the EMTs of Oneida County are ready, willing and able to serve at a moment's notice, a rare comfort so many don’t even know they enjoy.

Continued from page 1

5 YEARS AGO (2018)

Lucile Harrison is to celebrate 100 years of life and service to her church and community at an open house the 4th of November at the Malad Senior Center Malad, Idaho. Lucile graduated in 1940 and started her teaching career in Holbrook, Idaho, a small country school with only two teachers. Each teacher had four grades in their classroom. She then went on to Malad, teaching the 5th grade most of the time, totaling 40 years of a very successful and beloved teaching career. Lucile took a leave of absence during the war years, 1942-1945, and worked in California at Lockheed Aircraft Plant as a riveter on bomber wings. She also worked at Ogden Supply Depot for a summer and then on to Union Pacific Railroad as a ticket clerk when Bushnell Hospital was busy accepting patients from the Pacific for treatment and rehabilitation before going home. This was in Brigham City, Utah. Lucile returned to Malad after the war ended and returned to teaching in Malad, influencing the lives of some 1,100 students. Lucile retired in 1981 after 40 years of teaching. She was a little sad, of course, but went on to many projects of worth to her family and community. Lucile has been very active in the Presbyterian Church for many years. She was a treasurer for many years and rang the bell every Sunday and for special events that took place in Malad. Her last project was helping with activities at the Senior Center helping with food distribution every month. Lucile has enjoyed these 100 years of life, and dearly loves Malad and all the people who have lived there in the past and the present. At 1.6 billion dollars, the Mega Millions jackpot is the highest it has ever been. Power Ball isn't so bad either, at $620 million.

15 YEARS AGO (2008)

Drilling of a new city culinary well is on the way to completion, according to a report to the Malad Mayor and City Council from Rod Tubbs, city superintendent of public works. Mark Browning from the State Board of Education presented Malad High School with an academic award on October 16. The award was presented to Principal John Cockett in front of the studentbody, faculty and staff members. Stephanie Johnson, a junior at Malad High School, was commissioned to paint a dragon on the Bannock Street wall of Central Service to help get the town into the “Dragon Spirit”! Stephanie had been drawing dragons since she could remember. She used spray paint cans and did it all freehand. Stephanie is involved in volleyball, basketball, track and pep band. She is the daughter of Dr. Steve and Sherrie Johnson. The Malad High School Girls’ Volleyball team sent their seniors out in style by winning their final home game of the season when they beat Bear River on October 15 in Malad. The Malad High School Football team won second place in the 2A Fifth District. They secured a place in the state football play-offs with their win over West Side on October 17.

Ground was broken October 13 for the new Thomas Foodtown grocery store. Well-wishers gathered under sunny skies and warm temperatures to watch as community leaders and members of the Thomas family dug up the first shovelfuls of dirt. Dennis Thomas said the new store is expected to be ready to open by May of next year. Additional features will include a bakery deli, courtesy counter, wide aisles and plenty of parking. Dustin Deschamps graduated from ISU’s Automotive Technology program during ceremonies on October 16. Dustin, son of Tom and Janet Deschamps, is a 1997 graduate of Malad High School. He is currently seeking employment in Pocatello. Now in use is the new garbage truck Malad City recently purchased from Brigham City, Utah. The 1990 crane has a 30 cubic yard capacity. It’s bigger, states operator Dean Hamilton, so will take some getting used to. The new unit will be used in the city and the old one in the county. From now on, there will be a backup in the event of breakdowns. The Malad High School Football team came close, but just couldn’t stop West Jefferson in the last two seconds of the ball game. The Dragons ended up losing to West Jefferson 17 – 14 Friday night October 16, in their last home game of the year.

45 YEARS AGO (1978)

Plans for construction of a new Malad High School – Junior High complex were dashed – at least for the present time – Tuesday when Oneida residents failed to authorize the $2.5 million bond by a narrow margin with the required two-thirds vote. The vote fell only 23 short of passage as 842 favored the bond and 455 opposed. Chosen to serve the Trails’ End CowBelles during 1979 at their annual elections were the following: Janice Goddard, president; LaZell Williams, president elect; Marie Jones, vice president; Gaylene Willie, parliamentarian; Carol Daniels, historian; LuRue Jones, secretary; Sharon McClellan, reporter and Marvelene Broadhead, treasurer. In three sessions of testimony last week, several Oneida residents took a stand against mobilization of the Union Pacific Railroad agency here. The protests came before a public hearing of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission conducted at the Oneida Courthouse.

Not recommended for parents or kids By Gramma Dot “I’ve got your back!” It’s what friends do. I’d loaded four of the grandkids in the car and stacked food, clothing, games and whatever else we thought we needed for our three-day adventure in Beaver, Utah. We were going to see the eclipse. Spirits were high. Volume was high. It was high time we were on our way. We just had to stop in Brigham to pick Grandpa Brent up from the temple and meet Brad, Jess and Mo. We rolled into the temple basement parking lot right on time, but Grandpa hadn’t come out yet. Elle needed her iPad and of course it was packed somewhere in the back…

probably under everything. I pulled out of the underground area and into a spot on the street and went to the back of the car in search of the iPad. I found it, pushed everything back in the car, lowered the back door, jumped in, and pulled out. We decided to go around the block once to give Grandpa some extra time. We were about halfway around when I got a call from friend Elaine Mills. Seems her Cindy was in Brigham, had seen me pull out of the temple and noticed my back door was half-way up. Well, we pulled over immediately and sure enough, the door had only partially closed. I took a quick inventory, and it looked

like all we had lost was our Party-sized Potato Chips. I closed the door and made sure it was really closed this time and commenced circling the block to get back to find Grandpa. Losing a Party-sized bag of chips is serious business, so we all decided we had to circle the block again and find them. We passed Grandpa in the street by the temple, indicated we would be right back (he was a little confused), turned the corner in search of our snacks and BAM! there they were right in the middle of the road. Hadley darted out of the car, retrieved the bag and was back inside to the cheers of her cousins in under ten seconds. Mission accomplished! You would have thought we were Navy Seals. We completed the circle, picked up Grandpa. Brad, Jess and Mo had arrived from Logan while we were out saving the chips. We split up the cousins in different cars and headed to Beaver. The eclipse was good…not as dramatic as the total eclipse in 2017. Ice cream at the Creamery was delicious. Staying in an old pioneer Airbnb was an adventure. But the event that kept surfacing was the saving of the chips. Life is Good when you come from a hometown where someone always has your back! Thanks Cindy and Elaine.

een tradition that comes from ancient practices is the carving of vegetables to create temporary lanterns. The lanterns would allow people to take some of the protective fire with them through the night as a mobile way of keeping the spirits away or potentially lighting their way through the village to create mischief, which is another legacy of the festival. Pumpkins, as Kent explained, are not native to Europe—they are found in South America. The original carved lanterns were made out of turnips, rather than the pumpkins we use today. “How many of you like touching pumpkin guts?” Kent asked. “Ewwww!” said the group of kids gathered on the floor. “Well, you’re lucky that it’s a lot easier than carving a turnip!” Kent related the story of Stingy Jack, who is sometimes credited as the origin of the word “Jack O’Lantern”. After making a series of deals in which he outsmarted the devil, his luck finally ran out and he was condemned to wander the C Y

world for eternity with just a lump of coal in his mouth to light his way. From that image, the shining face of a carved pumpkin was derived. Kent also talked about the history of our ideas about witches. According to Kent, most of the imagery and ideas we associate with witches largely come from the Shakespeare play “Macbeth”. Though ideas like green faced witches brewing potions in cauldrons and casting spells existed in culture before his time, Shakespeare’s popularity and reach turned this version of witches into the most popular one in western culture. She explained the meanings of the items from the witches spell in the first act of the play. “Eye of newt and toe of frog,” for instance, are actually linked to plants. Kent related some ghost stories associated with Wales, and finished with a personal experience she had in Edinburgh at the famous Greyfriars Kirkyard, which is known as one of the most haunted places in the world. One story related to the cemetery is that of “Greyfriars Bobby,” a ghostly terrier

who is said to protect his owner’s grave. Despite her skeptical nature, Kent swears that during her tour she heard the yipping of a small dog on multiple occasions, coming from a place where nothing could be seen. During the later adult session of the evening, Kent covered similar material, but expanded on some of what she had previously discussed and answered questions from the audience in more details. Following Kent’s presentation, author John Olsen presented some of the stories from his newest book, the seventh in his paranormal series. John Olsen grew up in a haunted house, which is something that has affected the course of his life ever since. He has been collecting stories from around the region (Olsen lives in the Cache Valley) for over thirty years. His seventh book, “Stranger World,” takes a broader scope and covers first hand accounts from all around the world. “The paranormal to me is true. I know for a fact,” he began. Olsen grew up in a house originally built

in 1883, and experienced odd and unexplainable events all throughout his childhood, as did his family and friends and many others who visited the house. Olsen recounted many of the events from his childhood that stood out in his memory, including ghostly voices, presences, seemingly possessed objects, and bizarre ocurrences. Olsen’s first story from his new book, “Let me in,” set the tone for the evening. In the story, a man traveling in a van who frequently pulled over to sleep for the night. One night, he stopped at a particularly isolated location in the seeming middle of nowhere. As he was beginning to fall asleep, he heard a loud slap on the side of his van which jolted him awake. As he looked around to get his bearings, he saw a young girl outside his driver’s side window. She looked up at him with entirely black eyes and said, “Mister, me and my family are lost. Can you help us?” While he was naturally a helpful person, at that moment “something told him not to open the door, and to get the heck out

of there, which he did.” Following the incident, the man became very ill, which is something that is frequently reported by those who claim to have encountered Black Eyed Kids. For people who had never heard the phrase before, Olsen explained that the Black Eyed Kids are a paranormal phenomenon that has been reported all over. The kids are described as having the same solid black eyes, and seeking help. Often, they approach people at their front doors, or outside vehicles and ask to come inside. Those who have let them inside have reported all kinds of unpleasant aftereffects, but most people have an instinctive urge to prevent them from entering. If you should ever encounter such a thing, you should certainly not “let it in.” Olsen went on to relate other stories about haunted houses, the “Yosemite monster,” sasquatch sightings, and cursed land. “You’d be surprised at how many of these stories, when people contact me, begin with ‘I promise I’m not crazy.’ And while

some of them might be, I think mostly people are just telling the truth of what they experienced.” Olsen discussed the series of reports of a sasquatch a couple years ago in Weston canyon, which the Enterprise covered at the time. There were a number of calls to law enforcement, as well as word of mouth sightings over the period of several weeks that created quite a stir. “I’d heard stories from northern Utah and Southern Idaho with similar descriptions, and it seems clear that something might be there. If the stories I’ve heard are just a sample, I wonder how many people have possibly seen something and just not said anything for whatever reason. A lot of times, people just don’t want to talk about those kinds of things. But I’m lucky a lot of people do talk to me about them.” Olsen concluded by taking questions from the audience on a number of topics, and the event ended with refreshments and a chillier exit into the autumnal blackness that had crept into the valley.

Of babies and cows By Allison Eliason

It’s that time of year that we get a little extra up close and personal with our cows. We always like to know what’s going on, but with the fall preg checking we take a hands on, inside look to see just how the next year of calves will be shaping up. All along the way, we get a few comments and jokes about the birds and bees, or more like the bulls and cows, with a little wink and a chuckle. Far too often those jokes somehow lead to comparing cows to women which really is not a safe conversation. Calling any woman a cow is grounds for a little hit with the hot shot. Thankfully, it's been a while since we have had a new baby of our own so I’m not the butt end of the preg checking jokes as often anymore. But there was once a day that this little ranch wife had her fair share of cow comparisons. Even before our days on the ranch, my husband enjoyed pointing out, with a little too much enthusiasm, how I was just like a cow. Just as we were expecting our oldest son, he was in an animal science advanced reproduction class. In essence, they studied all the parts of reproduction and birth and I was like a handson lab for him with my own growing baby inside. I very generously told him he could make all the comparisons and

BINGO

jokes he wanted leading up to delivery day but once we were in the hospital, it would be a hard “NO!” He nearly missed his final test for the semester when we learned my water had broken but we convinced the doctor we could wait just long enough to finish our tests before it was baby time. We learned after the fact that missing an advanced repro final for childbirth was an automatic pass because CLEARLY they understood how reproduction worked. When we were finally in the hospital having baby, things didn’t all work like we had hoped for. Things were slow to progress and forgetting the deal we had made, my-rancher-ofa-husband commented that if I was a first calf heifer so slow to calve, he would have grabbed the chains and pulled the calf already. It only got worse when the doctor declared it was time for a c-section and looked at my husband to

ask, “You’ve done this before right?” to which he answered, “Well... on cows.” Without missing a beat, the doctor quipped, “It’s all about the same!” Even the doctor was in on the cow comparing scam! With a c-section now part of my “calving” history, my husband was quick to call me a “zipper” cow, the name we give those cows that have a scar along their side like they had been unzipped to get their calf out another way.

And then he proceeded to tell me zipper cows get culled... That little comparison didn’t go over too well, as you can imagine. Over the years of having babies, funny cow comments always pop in like when I wished my mom-bod looked a little more like it did before the babies wreaked havoc on it. Pointing out that a cow never looks like a heifer again isn’t really a comforting thought, although the intention was well

meant. As the kids were growing up I was reminded how petite they were and must have a very low daily rate of gain. Once again, if I was a cow, I would probably be culled but thankfully the pediatrician is pleased with the lean kids in my pasture and so I’m not too worried about it. Every once in a while I do wish that I was a momma cow. Can you imagine a life where you just ate and slept

all day?! I would totally take the ribs showing and a tight bag that milk cows showcase after calving. And the bulls were only in the pasture a few months out of the year, that would be a definite win. But having babies every year would be less than awesome, though... When I’m lucky, I’m not the only one to be the butt end of the cattle jokes. When the opportunity arises, there’s always someone happy to compare my husband to some herd bull. Of course, in a roundabout way I still end up being a part of the punch line. One of the hazards of being a rancher’s wife is all too easy comparison between women and cows. There are days that the jokes flow a little faster than otherswhen it’s breeding season, when we test the bulls or when we preg check the cattle. And when I choose to chuckle along with everyone else, the jokes really are pretty funny.

American West Heritage Center CTSO Activity/ BPA Movie Night By: Aubree Palmer

On Saturday, October 21st, BPA, FCCLA, FFA, and HOSA traveled to Logan to commence their first quarterly activity. First proposed at BASIC training earlier this year, FCCLA and BPA decided to take on the task of planning the first activity. Last year, the FCCLA traveled to the heritage center and had a great time! Upon BPA and FCCLA brainstorming what to do, FCCLA proposed the idea of returning to the fall function—last weekend only reiterated the excitement and appreciation for the many fall-themed activities provided. Members of each organization had a blast participating in a huge corn maze, a train ride, inflatable ball fighting, corn hole, nine square, and a haunted walkthrough. Aubree Palmer, an officer in BPA and FCCLA said, “Last year, as an FCCLA chapter, we thoroughly enjoyed the center. However, being able to have each of the other Career Technical Student Lead Organizations with us made it so much more fun! On behalf of both FCCLA and BPA, I can safely say that we loved this activity, and can’t wait to see what HOSA

MHS Cross Country men's team won the District Championship, and the women's team placed second. Congratulations!

and FFA plan for our next one!” Monday, October 30th is another fallthemed activity held by the BPA. In addition, the BPA chapter invites all to come to a drive-in movie at Malad High School. The showing will be a skeleTON of fun, and will be showcasing “Poltergeist”. Admission will be $3, and delicious concessions will be provided!

The Lady Dragons played in the 2A invitational tournament and came home as champions. The tournament took place in Firth. The teams playing in the tournament were Firth, Grangeville, and Malad. First game was Firth vs. Malad, and it was a very tough game. Game

one ended as a tie, 0-0. The second game was Malad vs. Grangeville. The Dragons went into the game not knowing much about their opponent, because they hadn’t competed against them before. The Dragons were fighting in the beginning to keep the score tied at 0-0. In the second quarter Bayli Nesbit and Emily Coatney made two amazing goals making the score 2-0. They kept up their great work and managed to keep the score 2-0, making their first win. The last game was Firth vs. Grangville, Firth won 2-0, giving the Cougars their first win. Since Malad and Firth both won a game and tied with each other they had to do a shoot out. Our Lady Dragons ended up winning the shootout against Firth making us win overall. The Dragons became the tournament champions. C Y

Lady Dragons named District 5 Champs! Four years in the making, the Lady Dragon volleyball team has finally clenched the title of 2A District 5 champions after they went undefeated through their tournament games. After a season of intense wins and hard fought gains, the Malad team earned a victory they have been hoping for. Doing it on their home court with their friends, families, and fans filling the stands made it a night they will never forget. The Lady Dragons began their tournament play going up against the Aberdeen Tigers on Saturday, October 14. Having already beaten the Tigers in both of their earlier matchups this season, Malad was more than ready to take them down. In three easy games, the Lady Dragons defeated Aberdeen 25-6, 25-6, and 257. Coach Camie Tripp used the game as an opportunity to give her up and coming junior players a chance to compete and get some crucial experience for their games to come. Defeating Aberdeen advanced Malad to the semi-final round where they set to take on Bear Lake, their toughest conference competitor, on Wednesday, October 18. With two losses to the Lady Dragons, the Bears came in gunning for them, hoping to finally come out with the win. From the very first serve, both teams came out with an intense drive. Teagan Daniels really got things rolling for Malad as she sent over several tough serves that the Bears just couldn’t convert to plays on the court or points on the scoreboard. As aggressive as the Lady Dragons played, the Bears were able to match their resolve. Not only did they send over charged hits and serves, but they kept alive shanked hits that were sure to be playing end-

ing. Bear Lake’s ability to send the ball back again and again made them a fair contender for Malad. The very best play of the game was played out in the first set where the Lady Dragon front line defense said again and again, “Not in our house!” After a Malad serve, Bear Lake set up an attack from the right side where they were met up with middle hitter Liv Nelson and Brynnlee Jones. The duo blocked the hit back to the Bears who managed to pop it back up and set it up for another hit, this time from the outside. Racing across the net, Nelson met the outside hitter with Izzy Haycock to put up another dominating block. Bear Lake once again kept the ball from falling and again set up for another hit down the middle. With flawless timing and technique, Nelson went for the solo block at the middle, dropping the ball and putting a final stop to the Bear’s attempts. The front row block played a crucial part in the Lady Dragon’s play for the night, even putting up the winning point for the first set. With the score 24-21, Bear Lake mispassed the ball, setting it up as the net. In an attempt to push it over their middle blocker went up with the pass where she was met by Katie Allen for the block, with Allen winning the joust, the point and the opening set for Malad. Recognizing the truly competitive they found themselves in, the Lady Dragons knew that it would take great skill, planning and execution to win the next two games of the match. In their own words, the team played with “true grit,” “all in” and “full throttle.” There rarely was a play that a player wasn’t on the floor diving for the ball, using their quick reflexes

to pop up the ball as it came by or slamming down with all they had. Hungry on the front row, offensive hitters Hallie Horsley, Jones, Nelson, Allen and Haycock put across big hits play after play. Even when it looked like the Bear Lake block was putting up an impenetrable wall, the Lady Dragons found a way to hit around it, tool it off of it or just slam it through. The energy the offense brought as they put up such big hits played a crucial role to keep the MHS team on track when their play seemed to take a dip. Whether it was fatigue, loss of faith or mismatch on the court, just as it seemed the Lady Dragons had the win in the bag, the Bears would bring a surge that would easily steal the momentum of the game. Relentless in their fight for the win, Malad never gave up in those moments that required them to give nothing short of their best. Working through those tough rotations made each all the sweeter, especially when it meant winning the second game, 25-21. Any good coach will tell you that a great volleyball play always begins with a good pass. A good pass opens up the possibilities that a setter can orchestrate as she moves the ball across

the net. Time and time again, the Lady Drag-

sive hit. Digging the hit, the Lady Dragons set

ons not only dug the Bear Lake attacks and tough serves, but they passed well enough that setter Adley Kimberling could set her attackers up for success. Kimberling continually read the defense to see where the best openings were, whether it was a strong outside it or a quick dish, her commanding insight led the offense as they moved through each play of the game. Moving through the third set of the match, the Lady Dragons found themselves on the brink of the win with the score 24-18. With the crowd cheering, “One more point!” Horsley stepped up to the service line. Bear Lake managed to pop up the tough serve, sending back an aggres-

up their own attack to Jones on the outside who slammed it down for the match winning kill. The Lady Dragons accomplished the feat of becoming district champions as they once again defeated Bear Lake in the championship match on Thursday, October 19. With everything on the line, both teams played all out. On fire and playing with a will to win, Malad took charge of the opening game, 2517. Not wanting a repeat of their previous matchup, Bear Lake found the means to pull out ahead to claim the win of the second match, 22-25. Tied as they came into the third game, both teams came out playing full tilt. Moving into extra points, the Lady

Dragons took the narrow victory as they finally went up by two points to win 27-25. Stepping into the fourth set of the game, the Lady Dragons were determined to win it and with it, the district title. With points rallying back and forth like the ball on the court, the two teams slowly inched their way to 25 points. After being tied at 12 points, Malad pulled ahead by just a few points in a lead that they were able to manage as the game wound down. Frustrated as they were falling behind, Bear Lake called a time out, hoping to turn things around. Horsley answered the pause in the game with a killer jump serve that dropped short in the middle of the Bear Lake court, too short for anyone to pass. The final four points were anything but easy as the Lady Dragons worked to finish the game. The Bears managed a back line hit and a quick tip passed Malad as they fought back in the last plays of the game. From the court and from the bench, the team began to cheer louder and louder with each point they earned. With the score coming down to Malad 24, Bear Lake 20, the Bears put down a big kill to bring it 24-21. But the pressure was too much for the Bears as they went up to serve, putting the ball just outside the back line and giving over the final point of the set and the game. As 2A District 5 champions, the Lady Dragons will next move on to the IHSAA State Volleyball Tournament that will be held at Lakefield High School October 27 and 28. Malad will open their tournament play against Bear Lake. Also competing in the tournament are teams from Melba, Cole Valley, Nampa Christian, Declo, Kellogg, and Firth.

MHS Soccer season ends with tournament championship

The soccer nets are cleared away as the Lady Dragon soccer team closes out its 2023 season. The MHS team had a strong season and good showing at the 3A District 5 tournament, followed by a winning finish at the consolation 2A Invitational Tournament. Malad began their tournament play taking on the Aberdeen Tigers on October 3. In their Saturday afternoon game, the Lady Dragons did well to control the game from the start, scoring four of their five goals in the opening half. The offense worked well to find several shooting opportunities, converting them to points on the scoreboard. Scoring for the Lady Dragons were Azure Ashby, Joni Beck, Bayli Nesbit, Emmy Coatney, and Halie Palmer. The defense did equally as well, keeping the ball from Aberdeen’s offense and giving them even few chances to C C Y Y

shoot. Throughout the game, the Tigers only had four shots at a goal but goalkeepers Aubrey Shulz and Rilee Neilson protected their nets well and didn’t let a single shot in. With a final score of 5-0, the Lady Dragons advanced on to the quarterfinals match against number one seed Marsh Valley on Thursday, October 5. Marsh Valley, the tournament host and a team who went undefeated in their conference games throughout the regular season, came out strong in their opening match of the tournament and gave the Lady Dragons a challenging team to come up against. At the nets, Schulz and Neilson had their work cut out for them to stop the attempted goals coming at them. In total, they were able to save twenty shots while allowing eight goals. The Marsh Valley defense played exceptionally well, allowing few shooting opportunities for Malad, where

they ultimately were unable to connect with the net and ended the game scoreless. Following the loss against Marsh Valley in the double elimination tournament, the Lady Dragons went up against the Snake River Panthers on Saturday, October 7. The game was a true contest between the equally matched teams with nearly as many shots attempted and saved on each end of the field. The Lady Dragons played an intense and aggressive game, keeping the pressure on the Panthers until the very last whistle blew. As the game came to an end, Snake River pulled ahead by a single goal, winning 2-1. Freshman Kaycee Veneble scored the single goal for the Lady Dragons with Beck, Kencie Miller, Alivia Waldron, Nesbit and Coatney finding shooting opportunities. Head coach Shenell Clark shared about the district games, saying,

The Last Dragon Soccer team won first place in the 2A Consolation Invitational tournament following their defeat over Firth 3-2 in a game that went into penalty kicks.

“It was a good district tournament. In our last game against Snake River, the girls left everything out on the field. It was a close game and I was proud of each of them and their heart to fight for a win.” The Lady Dragons

finish their season with a final unsanctioned 2A consolation tournament where they first defeated Grangeville and then Firth. In their game against the Cougars, the game went into penalty kicks after ending both the regular time and

overtime tied. The Lady Dragons came out of the shootout the victor, scoring three goals to Firth’s two to make them tournament champions and ending their season on a high.

Football Season Ends; a great year overall Just as fast as the season began, the Malad Dragon football season has come to a close. Over nine games the team tallied up thousands of offensive yards, hundreds of tackles, dozens of plays and countless pats on the back. Over the 2023 season, the MHS football put hours of time in as they practiced their drills, learned new plays and hammered out the kinks on the field. And with their final game now played, the team is collectively putting away their pads until next season. After a bye week, the Dragons faced their final conference opponent on their home field on Friday, October 20. The West Side Pirates came into town

ready to play and the Dragons struggled to keep them down. Despite their best efforts, the West Side drove the ball down the field, converting scoring opportunities to points on the scoreboard. As the buzzer rang out to signal the end of the game, the Pirates were up 49 to 0. West Side not only dominated offensively but defensively as well. As the Dragon offense worked to move the chains towards the end zone, they totaled up 80 yards of both passing and rushing. For thirteen Malad football players, the game against West Side was their last night to put on their pads a Dragon. The graduating seniors for the MHS

team included Ben Martin, Mason Brees, Ryan Hubbard, Sawyer Poulson, Hunter Wray, Lex Driskel, Dylan Moss, Blaiz Wright, Braylen Tripp, Porter Ward, Blake Wililams, Caleb Mathews and Timmy Jensen. Looking back over the last season, Head Coach Coy Crozier shared, “It was a great year overall. I think a lot of people counted us out. I’m proud of what the team has accomplished from the C team all the way to the Varsity team. It would have been easy for the kids to think it would be the same season as the past ones, but they were determined to improve. This group will help build a foundation for what is to come.

These kids learned an entirely new offense this season and ran it very well. I’m proud of each and every one
