Winter Resolves to Bring in the New Year necessarily a break from the weather either, as they tend to correspond with lower average temperatures and, often, winds. For next week, Sunday and Monday are predicted to have overnight lows into the low single digits. The National Weather Service predicts that the storms that are currently making their ways through the northwest will continue to add to the snowfall totals and persistent cold temperatures. On a positive note, the snowpack which has already settled into the surrounding mountains has exceeded expectations, meaning that it is on track to help bolster next year’s water levels

Snow blankets the roads in and out of town after the first major snowfall of the season

While the first snowfalls hit the valley weeks ago, the real winter weather we all knew was coming seems to have settled in for the duration. Over the last week, snowfall in Oneida county has accumulated to the depths Idaho residents have come to expect during the December, January and February months. Snowplows have been active almost every day since the first storm, and temperatures have dropped significantly. While there are some sunny days in the forecast for the next few weeks, most of the national weather services predict at least a strong chance of snow for most of them. The sunny days themselves are not

and potentially work toward easing drought conditions throughout the west. The city and county are prepared to deal with the inevitable winter conditions, but drivers are reminded, as always, to use caution when making their way through snowy roads as the season continues. Give the right of way to snow removal vehicles, and maintain safe speeds for the conditions. Drivers are advised by the NTSB to plan ahead for travel, and allow extra time for commutes. Keep extra warm clothes, blankets, water, and a charged phone in your car in case of emergencies.

We like to imagine that humans are eternally optimistic, and New Years Day is one of our most obvious reflections of that positivity. While it’s true in some sense that January 1st is really just a day’s difference from December 31st, the symbolic importance of turning a new page, starting a new chapter, or refreshing the browser is deep and significant. New Year celebrations of one sort or another are built into the human psyche. The earliest calendars we have records of were primarily based on agricultural seasons, and corresponded with the planting, growing, harvesting, and fallow seasons. The Babylonian calendar of 4,000 or so years ago marked its new year at the first full moon of the vernal equinox, when the amount of lightness and darkness were most equal and the barley harvests were culled. The resulting celebration of a return to life and abundance were marked with festivals

and feasts. In ancient Egypt, the beginning of the new year coincided with the first flooding of the Nile, which enriched and watered the agricultural banks of the river. In China, the new year coincided with the first new moon after the winter solstice. As calendars became more sophisticated, the lunar cycle became more well-observed, and the now familiar 12 month year became a largely widespread global standard with the Julian calendar during the reign of Julius Caesar. The problem of the slightly variable celestial year was accounted for centuries later with the Gregorian calendar (developed under Pope Gregory XIII in 1582), which is still in use in most western countries. For most people, those facts are mostly trivia. The real effects of a new year are mostly CHART A NEW COURSE FOR 2022 On Page 11

As the new year approaches, the county awaits news of its first baby born during 2022! Last year’s baby made a calendar-savvy appearance on his first day of eligibility. Josiah Samuel Helmandollar entered the world at 4:16pm January 1st 2021 at 5 pound 11 ounces, despite his due date of January 7th. Josiah surprised his mom, Loretta Asay Helmandollar, and his dad, Jeff Helmandollar, who thought they had everything under control for the new year. Plans had been

made for a January 7 induced labor because Jeff is a truck driver and wanted to be home for the birth. As it worked out, he was home, and even though he had to go unload that night, he was home again for the weekend. He was able to bring mom and the new baby home from the Bear River Valley Hospital in Tremonton on Saturday, January 2. Josiah’s grandparents are Mike and Cathy Asay of Malad and Shelly Helmandollar and the late Morris Helmandollar of Malad.

For his first year update, his mom reports that “he thinks he’s a goofball. He is always happy and smiling. He loves playing with his older sister and brother. He loves giving hugs and snuggles to anyone that wants one. He is about to walk, any day now. He loves his dog Rona. He is ticklish everywhere. He also loves his daddy and loves

Quotable Quotes for a New Year

The new year ushers in a new start and fresh beginnings. It’s a time to take hold of the new opportunities it brings with renewed motivation for greater success and happiness in the year to come. Some of the world’s finest leaders, thinkers, writers have shared their insight and wisdom to provide a little motion to help along the way. “Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering ‘it will be happier’.” ― Alfred Lord Tennyson “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” ― Søren Kierkegaard “It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn’t matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over.” ― Paulo Coelh “Past and Present I know well; each is a friend and sometimes an enemy to me. But it is the quiet, beckoning Future, an absolute stranger, with whom I have fallen madly in love.” ― Richelle E. Goodrich, Slaying Dragons “I heard a bird sing in the dark of December. A magical thing. And sweet to remember. We are nearer to Spring than we were in September. I heard a bird sing in the dark of December.” ― Oliver Herford “Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.” ― Hal Borland

We just don’t know it at the time.” ― Mitch Albom “Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions.” ― Tony Robbins “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.” ― Confucius “Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?” ― Charles Bukowski, Post Office “Maybe this year, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives not looking for flaws, but looking for potential.” ― Ellen Goodman “At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” ― Albert Schweitzer “Stop trying to press rewind. It’s life, not a movie.”

“As the year comes to a close, it is a time for reflection – a time to release old thoughts and beliefs and forgive old hurts. Whatever has happened in the past year, the New Year brings fresh beginnings. Exciting new experiences and relationships await. Let us be thankful for the blessings of the past and the promise of the future.” ― Peggy Toney Horton “Before you act, listen. Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you quit, try.” ― William Arthur Ward “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt “It’s never too late to become who you want to be. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” ― Mahatma Gandhi “I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” ― Albert Einstein “Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.” ― W. P. Kinsella “Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.” ― Karen Kaiser Clark

Lions Club Celebrate Another Year of Service

The local Lions Club—the oldest in the state of Idaho—recently celebrated the end of their service year at a dinner featuring smoked tri-trip, salads, and fraternity. The Malad Lions chapter will celebrate their official 100 year anniversary in 2022. Lion Thayne Barker opened the meeting, and related the contents of a recent letter from the mayor, thanking the Club for their work in the city park. During the fall, the Lions Club repainted and performed repairs on a number of buildings throughout the Malad City Park to weatherize and improve the appearance of the structures. Lion Don Schwartz then took the floor to discuss news and upcoming events. It was reported that the Club itself should be due for a visiting international representative soon. The Lions Club, which is headquartered in Oak Park, Illinois is truly an international organization, with nearly 1.4 million members worldwide, and an active presence in 200 countries. The Malad Chapter has the distinction of being the oldest continuous chapter in Idaho, and has been providing

service around the area, state, and world for almost 100 years. At present, the Lions are discussing what kind of celebration they want to host for the upcoming centennial, though they are clear that they want it to be an event for the community to attend and enjoy. While the Lions provide a wide number of services to those in need, they are most often associated with the cause of working to remedy vision and hearing problems. The familiar sight of old eyeglasses donation boxes are as iconic to most people as their lion-headed blue and gold crest. One news item presented was the change of the flagship program from the Idaho/ East Oregon Sight and Hearing Foundation the Lions Envision Sight for a variety of reasons, most clearly that it’s much easier to say and remember, and communicates more clearly the warm spirit of the organization. The Lions have a long history of supporting a number of initiatives related to hearing and sight, including cornea surgeries. Over the course of the last several decades, the length of time required for cor-

nea surgeries has radically decreased. It was explained that corneas from Idaho sought out as a result of the very efficient and high-quality banking system in place to bank corneas for transplant and the surgical skills for other operations. The Lions also support a variety of surgeries that preserve eyesight, as well as remediation programs. It was mentioned in the course of the discussion that “doctors have found that when people are asked about what kinds of things make the most immediate difference to them, a lot of Sherry Schwartz, Don Schwartz, Thayne Barker, and Margaret Barker at the people say eyeglasses.” Lions Club Christmas dinner Schwartz explained that: “We send eyeglass- eyeglasses to American teachers who may know adults.

Keith N. Atkinson June 23, 1932 - December 22, 2021

Keith N. Atkinson 89, of Malad, Idaho passed away peacefully on Wednesday December 22, 2021 at his home in Pleasantview. Keith was born on June 23, 1932 in Samaria, Idaho to Alfred and Rachel Atkinson. He graduated from Malad High School with the class of 1950, where he was involved in boxing. He married LaJuana Thomas and they were blessed with 7 children: Debra, Ron, Rickie, Denise, Brad, Mike and Josh. They were later divorced. Keith was a hard worker and an all-around handy man that could fix everything and anything. He farmed in Pocatello Valley, and worked at OK Tire, Legrand Johnsons, Parson and for Marion Hess. He also worked different construction jobs and drove heavy equipment. He did odd jobs with his beloved backhoe up until a few years ago. He was known for pushing snow throughout the winter for many people and businesses. On December 15, 1982 he married the love of his life, Carolyn Williams in Malad, Idaho and in March 2013 they were sealed in the Logan Utah Temple. On October 1, 1990 Keith became a business owner along with Carolyn when they purchased Jones Oil Company and changed the name to K-C Oil. Keith delivered many gallons of diesel and gas to the farmers in the Malad Valley. Keith was always willing to help everyone and offer his advice when asked. He had a handshake that could surpass the Hulk’s-- if you ever shook his hand then you know what we are talking about. Keith was a big tease and was famous for his homemade root beer. He loved his children but his grandchildren and great grandchildren always held a special place in his heart. He loved to hunt, camp, ride four-wheelers, shoot guns, travel and soak in the Hot Tub. Keith also enjoyed taking the trailer to Yuma and Quartzsite Arizona for a few weeks in the winter. He is survived by his loving wife Carolyn, his children Debra (Tom) Scott of Sandy, Utah; Ron (Cyndi) Atkinson of Sandy, Utah; Denise C Y

On the evening of December 14, while the weather seemed a touch frightful with the first big snow storm of the season, the students of Stone Elementary delighted their families, friends and neighbors with their Christmas program. Their program featured different Christmas traditions from cultures around the world including Hawaii, Germany, China, Australia, and Mexico. Each student shared something interesting about each county’s Christmas celebration, like how in Hawaii, Santa visits in a red canoe pulled by dolphins, how in Germany they were the first to decorate Christmas trees, and how in China they give apples as a symbol of peace on Christmas Eve. The program included songs from the different cultures that were even sung in their various languages. They sang “Mele Kalikimaka,” “Oh Tannenbaum,” “Feliz Navidad,” “Auss-

ie Jingle Bells,” and danced to “Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer” sung in Mandarin. As they sang, a handful of students presented family members with special gifts from each culture such as chocolate advent calendars from Germany, leis from Hawaii,

chocolates from Australia, and poinsettias from Mexico. After the program had ended, everyone enjoyed a little taste of these cultures, featuring Chinese apples and a traditional pinata, made by the Stone Elementary students.

Ralph Tovey will retire after thirty-one years as Assessor of Oneida County, ending the longest tenure of any other assessor in the state of Idaho. Last week negotiations were finalized for the merger of Oneida Perlite Corporation with a subsidiary of Oglebay Norton Company of Cleveland, Ohio. The Malad firm that was founded here in 1959 will now be known as National Perlite Products Company and marketing for its processed ore will be based out of Oglebay Norton’s Arlington, Texas offices. Daniel Dale Golghtly is entirely unaffected by his reign as Oneida County “First Baby for 1986”. He is now getting

ready to pass the honor on to another as area merchants’ gear up for the 1987 contest. Malad High School senior Monica Bybee recently received word that she is one of twelve vocalists from Idaho chosen to perform in the MENC All-Northwest choir in Portland, Oregon. Monica is the only student from Malad who has ever been accepted into the All-Northwest choir and is also the only student going to represent Fifth district. At the Malad Firemen’s annual banquet two special plaques were awarded to members of the force. Chief Gary Shepherd presented the “Fireman of the Year” Award to Mark Colton. Also honored at the Banquet was D. Parry Jones, who was presented a plaque in recognition of the sixteen years of service that he has given the department. Jones announced his retirement from the force this year. 45 YEARS AGO (1976) Santa Claus, his reindeer and sparkling snowman traipsing across the Del Leavitt’s front lawn won first prize in the Malad Chamber of Commerce’s annual Christmas lighting contest.

The family decorated their yard and trees with many strands of lights, and set up a nativity scene in front with Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus. Winning third place was the Gordon Crowther residence, which was gaily decorated with shining lights in trees and on the house. Who will be the 1977 first baby of the year in Oneida County? Whichever it is – boy or girl – will break the tie which now stands even at 10 boys and 10 girls. Last year’s winner, little Korrie Allen claimed the honor on January 3rd at 6:45 a.m. in the Oneida County Hospital. She is the first child of Kirk and Rhonda Allen.

Colen H. Sweeten III

has been called to serve the LDS Church as a missionary in the Japan, Okayama Mission. He will enter the language-training mission in Provo, Utah on January 3. 55 YEARS AGO (1966) A tractor-trailer, loaded with steel girders, rolled driverless down 50 South Street in Malad, stuck and badly damaged a pickup truck owned by Ben Call, crossed the street’s intersection with South Main St, smashed through a fence on the William Griff Jenkins property, narrowly missed a brick garage, tore out a pasture fence and came to a stop with the cab embedded in the bank of Deep Creek behind the Jenkins home. The brakes of the trailer had been set by Mr. Curtis but either the airline or air tank broke. When this happened the heavily loaded vehicle began to roll down the inclined street and traveled nearly half a mile before crashing into the creek – the only immovable object in its path.

Williams, is more than a mail carrier – he is a personal friend, providing extra services to those families who live a long way from town. He has always refused pay for these acts of neighborliness. He brings medicines, needed supplies, and gives rides to those needing transportation along his route, always with first consideration, however, that the mail must not be endangered. Joe always makes sure that valuable letters and packages are not left to be damaged by weather. Joe, who is a part-time farmer and is fond of good horses, is married to the former Maria Evans, a teacher at Malad High School, and they are the parents of a daughter, Marilyn Neal and a son, Hugh, who is serving a mission for the LDS Church at Dusseldorf, Germany.

The City of Malad is reminding residents to not push, shovel or blow snow into the street. Residents need to be aware that piles of snow in the roadway can be hazardous for drivers. If the snow pile freezes solid, it can be similar to hitting a large obstruction and it can damage the vehicle as well as injure the driver.

When removing snow and ice, property owners are required to deposit the snow and ice onto their own property.

By Dotty Thorpe Evanson Not recommended reading for kids and parents. Remember my bubble wrap, pop-it quandary? For the record bubble wrap wins every time, it is a landslide, not even close. Why? Pop-its never go away, ever. On the other hand, once you expend your wad of bubble wrap, it is over. Your mood is improved and there is no looking back, wondering if one more pop will make things even better. If that isn’t reason enough, pop-its show up all over the house. Just more stuff, everywhere. The older I get the more I appreciate Henry David Thoreau’s, “Simplify, simplify, simplify,” which in my language means less stuff, less stuff, less stuff. Kids like stuff. Our girls have a lot of stuff, and they aren’t fussy about where it goes. Stepping on a Lego with your bare foot is not pleasant. Clearing a spot on the counter to eat is just what we do. I won’t even get into the snow stuff when

they have been outside and come in. I tried a little experiment where left-out stuff got put in a box and money was required to get it out. I felt like I was running a department store and doing inventory every day. It was not simple, and improvement was not evident. I’m beginning to understand why Henry David moved to Walden Pond. However, when I contemplate his solitude, which may be good for a while, I could not give up our evening meals, nightly “Good Witch” showings, or going through the back-packs each afternoon and discussing the happenings of the day. Stuff and kids go together. Although I long for “Simplify, simplify, simplify,” I’m sticking with stuff.

Happy New Year!!! I hope your holidays were filled with love and fun times! Another year is upon us, and it is that time when people make goals for the coming year. This year make one of your goals to eat healthier! One of the simplest methods to improve your nutrition is the PLATE METHOD. This method focuses on helping you build a healthy meal without having to worry about food journaling or crazy restrictive diets. The plate method focuses on high fiber, protein, vitamin, and mineral intake. 4 simple rules to follow the plate method: 1. Pick your protein first. Fill ¼ of your plate with lean protein. Chicken, fish, ground beef, turkey, seafood, beans, or soy products count as protein. This would be about 4 ounces, or the size of a deck of cards. 2. Add a hefty side of veggies. Fill HALF your plate with non-starchy veggies. These include lettuce, spinach, brussels sprouts, carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers etc. 3. Choose a complex carb. ¼ of your plate or about ½ to 1 cup serving. Complex carbs are fruits, whole grains, potatoes, peas, and corn. 4. Don’t forget a dose of healthy fats. These are needed in smaller amounts but very important. All you need is about a teaspoon of oil (olive or avocado) or ¼ c nuts and seeds. Putting it all together: Start with your protein, add a big side of veggies, choose a complex carb, and top it off with a little bit of healthy fat to complete your meals! The more consistent you can be with following this “checklist” the more natural it will come when plating your meals. Use the graphic above to help you remember how to practice the plate method! That’s it! You’re on your way to healthier eating! Come join us at the senior center on Wednesday’s and Friday’s for lunch at 12:15pm. See you there!

Time to cook: 15 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil • ¼ cup chopped onion (find frozen chopped onion at the store!) • 4 cups mixed frozen vegetables (~one 16 oz bag) • ½ tsp dried dill, or tarragon • ¼ tsp each or to taste of salt and

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING 12/21

The December meeting of the Oneida School Board began with recognizing Elizabeth Kent as the Oneida School District “Employee of the Month.” Dr. Jon Abrams, Superintendent, told of the valuable assistance Liz has provided as the public relations person for the District. Liz received a gift card, a copy of the “Starfish” poem, and a plaque that will hang in the District Office for the month. Brandi Warren, District Business Manager, reviewed the summary of the School District audit. As is true of most districts, the school lunch budget is in the red. Although District revenues increased, which led to larger reserves, the District still does not have the amount mandated by the State to cover operating expenses for three months. Federal Covid relief funds have helped the District cover expenses related to the pandemic. The plant and facilities budget has increased, which is good because of the number of upcoming projects. The building administrators presented short reports. Ms. Sarah McIntyre, Principal of Malad Elementary School, thanked Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital for the donation of cafeteria trays. She also thanked Northwest Farm Credit Services for the donation of coats and gloves for students. C Y

M K

The annual employee donation drive by Hess Pumice Products netted $3000 that was donated to assist students. Ms. McIntyre said that individual donations to the school are up this year. The elementary school could use several more aides in classrooms. Friday school, an intervention to help struggling students, will continue through January. Mr. Robert Hannah, Principal of Malad Middle School, thanked the high school for their help in getting the Veterans’ Day Program broadcast via Zoom. Girls’ basketball and wrestling are underway. Tryouts for boys’ basketball were held this week. With the hope that more snow will fall on Pebble Creek Ski Resort, the students met to discuss upcoming ski trips. The Middle School band and chorus performed at the Middle/High School Christmas concert. Mr. Michael Corbett, Principal of Malad High School, thanked Rachel Madsen for being willing to come back to teach the CNA classes. Eleven of the twelve students passed their CNA exam and are now working at Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital, which is a big help for the local Hospital. Intervention classes are being offered to those students struggling with math and English. Attendance is now over 90%. The Senior Projects were

excellent. Dr. Jon Abrams, in his role as administrator of Stone School, met with every student at the school to discuss progress and goals. Research shows that students who track their own progress do better academically and socially. Every student at Stone School met his or goals for the semester. The Christmas program was excellent with many parents and community members present. Dr. Terri Sorensen, Administrator for the Idaho Home Learning Academy (IHLA), reported that 6152 students are enrolled. An IHLA student took 1st place for grades K-2 in the state-wide Forest Products Week essay contest. Another student took 1st place in the essay contest sponsored by the Idaho Civics Center. Her essay will be published in “The Advocate,” a publication of the Idaho State Bar. IHLA registration for next year will begin in January. In his Superintendent report, Dr. Abrams said that work has begun on the high school track. He noted that the State School Board voted to fund schools through the remainder of the year according to Average Daily Attendance instead of Average Daily Membership, which generally benefits smaller districts. He advised the Board to schedule a work meeting to

discuss and prioritize facilities projects as well as to share what was learned at the Idaho State School Board Association meeting. That meeting will be held in January. Jared Lusk and Joe Reams of Construction Services, Incorporated, met with the Board in order to become better acquainted prior to beginning work on major projects in the District. They stressed the importance of good relationships between the construction management company and the Board. They stated that once the budget for a project was set, it was guaranteed with any savings reverting to the District and any overage covered by the construction company. All parts of a project will be competitively bid. Part of the

Jan. 2022

January work session will be used to discuss major projects in which Construction Services will be involved. The Board approved the teacher contract that was negotiated for 2021-2022. Dr. Abrams announced that the State may take on some of the funding of health insurance for school employees and their families, which may impact negotiations for next year. The Board approved the employment of the following persons, pending their passing the State-mandated background check: Jaime Coatney and Trevor Robbins as substitute teachers; DeeDee Clark as a Malad High School volunteer girls’ wrestling coach; and Candice Jorgensen as a MHS/IHLA special education teacher.

the to-do list checked off. It didn’t even matter how the presents were wrapped. In fact, I don’t even think that my kids even noticed the clutter and mess that I saw. Through their eyes they only saw the magic of Christma in the twinkling lights of the Christmas tree with the growing pile of presents around them. They basked in the moments we were making memories as we read the Nativity story and hung our stockings. The carols and laughter rang through their ears to drown out any grinchy bah-humbugs. I took a moment to reflect on my own Christmas memories as a child and realized that I never fussed the mess either. In fact, I have no idea if the dishes were done, if my room was tidy, or even how the presents were wrapped. The magic of Christmas overwhelmed anything that would detract from that excitement. And behind the scenes of that magical night, I had a mother that tirelessly worked to ensure that we had the best Christmas. Why had I never realized this before?! In that moment I stopped and found my phone to give my first gift

that Christmas. I dialed up my mom and waited for her to answer. I wished her a Merry Christmas and then just paused. And then I started at the beginning. Motherhood has opened my eyes in so many ways over the past ten plus years and as I have gained this different perspective I have become grateful for my mom in ways I never could have imagined. “Mom,” I said, “I know you worried and stressed about making our Christmases the best possible. I know you were tired and overwhelmed and spread too thin. I know that while we wanted all of the excitement of the season it meant so much more work for you. Thank you for making those memories so magical.”

It really didn’t seem like enough to just say thank you, but any mom will tell you that it was. I finished gathering my things and headed out to party with my people. The kids were wild and crazy and stayed up way too late. I finished the homemade gifts after everyone else had gone to sleep. As I finished wrapping the last gifts I had to piece together wrapping paper from the remnants of the lastrolls. It was anything but picture perfect! But the smiles that Christmas morning were. Christmas is magic, and that magic is made by the people that love us most. The twinkling lights, the fancy decorations, the wintertime adventures are all had because someone wanted to bring us a little Christmas

cheer. Because they love us. Andy Williams sang it best when he caroled, “It's the most wonderful time of the year!” While the Christmas season is full of excitement and anticipation it's also full of kindness and giving, and service and grace. The magic of Christmas comes when we serve others, when we look for opportunities to help our neighbors. It comes when we play Secret Santa and do the 12 days of Christmas. We feel it when we take time to gather together and reminisce. We see it when others offer a little extra kindness and patience in such a busy world. And we share it when we selflessly give to those we love.

Chart a New Course for 2022 Continued from front page

practical—having to remember a new year on the increasingly rare occasion of writing a check or remembering how old you are, starting a new tax year, and replacing desk calendars. But the central hallmark of new years for modern people is the mixed blessing of new years resolutions. According to statistical opinion trackers, only 44% of people reported having planned resolutions for 2022. Among those who did, the most common resolutions are fairly common from year to year, with a few new surprises: Keeping a Journal The most frequently reported resolution was “To engage in some form of journaling or active display of gratitude to others.” This is new to yearly lists, and seems like a hopeful reflection of a turn toward more active engagement with self-reflection and connection to others. Journals have long been popular in American history, and Malad itself is one of those communities with a history of personal and family diaries and journals that have helped to create a historical and genealogical record of the settling of the valley, and the experiences of generations past. The Oneida County Pioneer Museum has a collection of family records that have maintained and sustained the historical understanding of the community for decades. Many families are also blessed to have the written records of their grand, great-grand, great-great-grand and even earlier experiences to reflect on even to this day. While hand-written journals have their own indelible charm for bibliophiles and descendants alike, modern journaling is also popular on family blogs, websites, and other electronic platforms. The Malad Valley History Facebook page is one example of an excellent resource for historical memory of the area, and is well worth checking out! The Enterprise has existed in one form or another since 1879, and we strive to keep as much continuity with the history of the valley as possible. Our “Looking Back” section highlights events from the last 75 years to show the ways Malad has (and sometimes hasn’t) changed. Next week’s edition will wrap up 2021 with highlights of the year’s major news stories and events, as well as give local spokespeople a chance to predict what they think 2022 will hold. Eating Healthier Along with exercise (see later in the list), this is everyone’s most-listed-least-enjoyed resolution. However, eating healthier is something that is really just a matter of degrees—that is, any change for the better is worth making. One of the biggest reasons that resolutions fail is that people often set expectaC Y

tions to an unreasonable level, quickly disappoint themselves, and then give up. In terms of eating, rather than promising yourself that you will switch to an all-organic, farm-fresh, completely balanced meal three times a day, many nutritionists recommend simply switching to more mindful eating. A resolution like committing to setting aside at least one day a week where you and your family gather to make food from scratch and enjoy the experience of being together and cooking can help turn food preparation into a thing that everyone enjoys. Ideally, the experience can encourage everyone to look forward to trying new things, spending time together, and ultimately, changing the way they think about dinner. Life can certainly be hectic, and with work, kid activities, church responsibilities, and other commitments, it can be nice to have a set aside time to slow down and enjoy the company of those you love. According to a recent report from the National Association of Child Development, kids who grow up in an environment where food preparation and family dining time are valued statistically become healthier both physically and emotionally. Additionally, Malad Valley residents are blessed with abundant resources for fresh produce during the growing seasons, and honest to goodness farm and ranch fresh beef, pork, and poultry. Move More Exercise is the other main promise people make themselves every year, and almost always the first one that fails. Stories about the massive number of gym memberships that expire in March when the 3-month initial trial runs out are verified by industry surveys. We all have the best intentions, but the follow through can be something else altogether. There are some people who absolutely do prosper as a result of the newest, latest, and or most heavily advertised “exercise system,” and good for them! Most of us, however, just end up with heavy pieces of equipment to clutter the basement until they get passed on to the next optimistic person at a yard sale. The number

of Peloton Bikes at thrift stores this year will likely force them to reconsider their donation policies. Luckily, the most effective form of general physical maintenance is ancient and free—just moving around. Walking, running, and simply moving your limbs is cited by the American Medical Association as the best way to meet their recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate cardiovascular activity. This breaks down to roughly 22 minutes a day, which is a perfect amount of time for a walk. Given the fact that almost everyone has access to a phone full of music, audio books, and podcasts, a nice pair of headphones or ear buds can be the most effective exercise tool in your arsenal. Malad City Park is a popular walking spot, and for good reasons. For those keeping track of their distance, the mile markers are clearly labeled, and let you gauge your progress for the day. A mile walk for many people will fit very closely with that 22 minutes, and is also about the same length as many podcasts or book chapters. With the newly installed nighttime lighting, and the well-maintained path, the greenway is a perfect way to hit this resolution while destressing, and probably running into at least a few friendly faces! Make Fun Your Priority This one is always on the list, but it’s another “easier said than done” task. Life is busy. Life is full of obligations. Even more than diet and exercise, this one sometimes takes active dedication to achieve. The idea here is not to “only have fun” because that’s obviously not possible for most people who also have to maintain a household. Rather, the idea is to make sure that you don’t always turn down fun that comes along. Responsibilities never end—that’s part of what makes them what they are. But there are experiences with your friends, family, and loved ones that are much less permanent and that you can’t make up for elsewhere. The other side to it is that the emotional release of a positive, “fun” experience has been shown to make people concentrate bet-

ter, feel better, and have a more positive outlook. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and taking some time to enjoy the good parts of life—especially when there is often a drumbeat of less pleasant things as a backdrop—is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and others. Become Sustainable and Drink More Water Malad is already a community that values self-reliance and sustainability. The core ethos of the valley clearly values the idea of making things last, and using resources wisely and well. From the pioneering days of the original settlers to the current residents, sustainability has been a hallmark of Oneida county. Drinking more water is perhaps less obvious. Hydration is important for skin and organ health, mental functioning, and stress management. It’s also sometimes hard to remember. Due to the large range of drink options, people sometimes forget the importance of going to the source. Most alternatives, such as energy drinks, teas, fruit juices, and (especially) sodas don’t equal the hydration properties of plain old water, and many have counterproductive diuretic effects that actually require more water consumption to compensate. Malad’s wells offer amazing water, and a reusable water bottle filled straight from the tap makes at least this resolution easy to keep. Read More It’s no secret that print publishing is declining in the modern era. While it’s still not difficult to find print copies of almost any book you’d ever want to read through Amazon, the prominence of

paperbacks, magazines, and (yes) newspapers is markedly declining on a yearly basis. Many of us simply prefer the texture and feel of an honest-to-goodness book when we want to curl up with a good read, and there’s definitely something to be said for the utility of books as doorstops, paperweights, and fly swatters. But just as many people have taken to digital readers, such as the Kindle, iPad, or even a phone. The good news is, research suggests that reading through any form accrues the same benefits. Reading has been shown to increase memory, problem solving skills, language capacity, and general wellness. The Oneida County Library, which was named the Best Library in Idaho this year, has material to meet whatever needs your reading style demands. From a collection of classics to new releases, all you need is a county address to gain access to whatever you’d like to read. If you’d prefer things digitally, however, the library also has an expansive range of eBook and other digital options. While there is no firm evidence on whether listening to audio books generates the same benefits as sight reading, there are studies that suggest that it might have its own separate but overlapping benefits that have to do with memory, speech, and vocabulary. Less Phone, More Sleep Ever since the birth of the smart phone era in the mid-2000s, people have resolved to use their phones less. You can probably guess how that’s gone. While it’s hard to argue that phones are an indispensable tool in the 2020s, it’s also hard to argue

that they are always healthy or conducive to reduced stress. The idea that a person can never really be “unavailable” or maintain a true sense of privacy is cited in one recent mental health survey as one of the most anxiety-producing aspects of modern life. It’s unlikely most people would be able to take recommended “phone holidays,” where they simply put their phones aside for several hours, a day, a weekend. Work, family, and other commitments often make that difficult. But it’s worth asking yourself whether that’s why you have your phone on you at a given time. For many people, the phone is there as a crutch to help them through a boring moment, a ride in a car, a quiet moment at home. In those cases, there’s a good chance that simply living in that moment without reflexively checking the omnipresent electric eye would result in a more satisfying experience. All experts agree though that the one place you should force yourself to leave your phone alone is in bed. Sleep has become interrupted in new ways by the anxiety of missing something that might happen in the middle of the night and waking to check phone messages. Phones have also replaced night time conversation and led many people to isolate themselves with their own viewing or listening, rather than sharing the experience of falling asleep with their partners, spouses, or others. The phone riddle is likely to be with us for a long time, but if you can commit to one thing this year, let it be giving yourself the permission to just sleep. The world will still be there when you wake up. Fingers crossed.

We finally overcame our first quarter struggles in this game. We came out strong and didn't get ourselves behind early. We did struggle in the second quarter and let them take the lead going into halftime. Overall though we played a much better first half. The girls came out and competed hard also in the second half too and made it so we could get this victory. This game was big for us in more ways than just getting the win. The girls were able to see what they can do when they compete for the whole game and not just a couple quarters.

These girls also proved to themselves that they can still come back and win when you are down...we had two different times in this game when they were down by 9 and 11. Those were times they could have dropped their heads and just let them pull ahead even farther, but instead they fought hard and came back in both situations. We also learned what it takes to hold on to a lead at the end of games and pull out a win. Also, they saw what can happen when they execute on the floor the things we have worked on and talked about that will

What do you want to be when you grow up? HVAC technicians help keep us warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s hot!

HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning. An HVAC technician installs, repairs, and maintains heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems that control the temperature and air quality in buildings.

If your home has central heating or air conditioning, you probably have something in your house called a thermostat. The thermostat is where you can change the temperature in your house. The word thermostat comes from two ancient Greek words: thermo (meaning heat) and statos (meaning to stay the same). A thermostat is something that “keeps heat the same.”

Warning: Your HVAC system uses a lot of energy. You probably have seen the thermostat that can change the temperature of your home or classroom. Only change the thermostat settings when you have permission from an adult.

Newer thermostats can save energy (and money) by being programmed to only turn on heating or cooling systems when needed.
