Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter dies at 96

After recently being placed on hospice care, Rosalynn Carter passed away on Sunday at the age of 96. Carter, who is generally credited with elevating the position of first lady into a visible and professional one, was an advocate for a number of issues during her time in the White House, as well as the five decades afterward. While associated with numerous causes, Carter was most noted for her passionate commitment to raising awareness of mental healthcare issues. She and former president Jimmy Carter were married for 77 years.

Flight of Honor

Gene Caldwell had never been to Washington, D.C. before last week. Although he had wanted to visit on previous trips to the east coast, there had never been time to get to the nation’s capital. That all changed when Gene took part in an Honor Flight with dozens of other veterans to tour the memorials and be recognized at a banquet to honor those who have served. After being nominated for the Nucor’s Honor Flight by neighbor and Nucor employee Chris Showell, Gene was booked a seat on the flight out of Utah to the national’s capital with around 75 other veterans to tour the nation’s war memorials and historic sites. During the visit, Caldwell visited a number of places that he was thrilled to finally be able to see in person. Fort HcHenry was one of the places Gene was most impressed by. The fort is most famously associated with the War of 1812, and is intimately linked to the composition of the Star Spangled banner. Francis Scott Key wrote the poem “The Defence of Fort M’Henry”[sic], which provided the lyrics to the national anthem while witnessing the flag still standing after a night of heavy British bombardment. The Fort has been restored, of course, but the guns from the war are still on the shore, and the history of the location is on full FLIGHT OF HONOR On Page 2

While the winter weather has already begun to affect road traffic, storm systems on the east coast are anticipated to create headaches for flights across the country early in the week, and begin affecting the west by the Thanksgiving holiday. Weather forecasters predict snow and freezing rain in the pacific northwest through Idaho by Wednesday, although how much of it will hit southeastern Idaho remains to be seen. As always, anyone with plans to travel by air over the holiday is advised to leave plenty of travel time to make their connections, and expect some amount of delay.

More than 200 sentenced in mafia trial

Italy’s largest trial of mafia members in at least three decades ended recently, and resulted in conviction and sentencing of around 200 crime gang members for a total of 2,200 years in prison. The trial began in 2021, and had to held in a purpose-built bunker in Lamezia Terme out of safety concerns. Over 400 lawyers acted for the defense, and a total of at least 900 witnesses were called. Five life sentences and three thirty year sentences were handed out among the defendants, who included those with nicknames such as “The Wolf,” “Fatso,” and “Lamb Thigh,” among others. Politicians, police officers, and local officials were among those sentenced in the massive trial.

Missing Hiker in Big Bend National Park found safe

The National Park Service announced that a search that began on November 9 had been located in the park. Christy Perry, a 25 year old hiker, had been found conscious and talking in a remote area of the park. After locating Perry, rescue crews navigated steep terrain to bring her to safety. She was transported to a local hospital for medical attention. One of the takeaways from the incident was to be sure that those who are travelling provide an itinerary to someone else who is aware of where they are supposed to be. For her part, Perry was not known to be missing for several days as a result of not having related her plans to any family or friends.

Over $8,000 raised at Malad FFA Auction

The Malad FFA Alumni and Supporters announced that the recent auction and dinner had raised over $8,000 for FFA Members. The funds are used to assist with scholarships, classroom materials, supervised agricultural experiences, and conference registration and events. Upcoming Malad FFA Alumni and Supporters events can be found on the group’s Facebook page, and anyone interested in joining the Malad chapter is encouraged to visit the page, where more information on membership can be found.

display. “That was really something! They had a big flag out there and they lowered it so we all got a chance to fold it. It was fantastic! We got to walk out to where the guns were and see the grounds and everything.” Another place that Caldwell found inspiring was Arlington National cemetery. The group was able to be on hand for the changing of the guard. They also visited the grave of war hero Audie Murphy, and the Eternal Flame commemorating president John F. Kennedy. “They’d come in and pull up one of the veterans to help them a bit when they changed. It was quite a place, and you really think about all the guys that are buried there.” With only about a half hour between stops, the pace of the tour was brisk, but rewarding. “We didn’t have time to see everything, but we saw a lot. We visited the Lincoln memorial, Korean War, WWII, Vietnam, Navy Memorial, and the Washington monument. We saw about every memorial they got back there in two days.” Gene has a special connection to the Korean War memorial, as his service took place then. According to him, the majority of the veterans on the tour were also Korean War vets, although there were representatives of many other periods in military history. “It put a different perspective on what they do in Washington for me,” Caldwell said. “Just seeing how they are honoring all these veterans and their history.” One iconic piece of history that Gene remarked on was at the World War II Memorial. “I was surprised by the Iwo Jima statue— where they’re raising the flag. What got me about that is when you see it on TV and in books, I thought it was about eight feet tall. But it’s sixty feet high! Those men are about eight or ten feet high by themselves holding up the flag.” “We stopped at the White House and the Capitol, but we couldn’t go

in. Even though we couldn’t, just seeing those places really made me think about people trying to destroy that beautiful building. It’s our country, that’s what gets me—I don’t know how those guys could do that.” Caldwell mentioned a number of times that the staff from Nucor made the experience memorable and trouble-free. “The guys from Nucor were really good. They got us where we needed to go. They divided us up into three buses, a red, white and blue one with 25 veterans each and what they called our guardians. I was on the blue bus. It was very organized.” In order to get everything on the itinerary done, the group had to be up and going by seven o’clock every morning. Wheelchairs were provided to everyone (“Whether we needed them or not!”), but despite the large number of people to organize, the tour went off without a hitch. “We went the first day as far as we could go, and we they got us a hotel room and had a banquet for all of us,” Caldwell said. “There was a senator there who thanked us all for being there, and then Nucor gave out some awards. They gave an award for the oldest fellow there, and guess who it was? Well, it wasn’t me. There was one guy who was about three days older than me!”

Caldwell got to know the people on the blue bus pretty well. “Most of them were from northern Utah. There were a couple from Arizona, and then there were three guys from Idaho. One of them lives here down by the grocery store, I guess! Another guy was from way over in Wyo-

ming.” The blue bus became a small ad hoc community for the two days of the tour, and they became friends. “There was one guy on our bus with a big beard. He said ‘How old do you think I am?’ I guessed he was in his 80s, and he was 89. I said ‘Well, I got you beat—I’m 92!’ and he called me Old Man the rest of the time.” Beyond the memorials themselves, Caldwell came away with a new view of Washington, D.C. “What I was amazed about was the whole area— Washington, D.C.—there were a lot of trees there. They just cut roads right down through the trees and laid down roads for all these memorials, and it’s really well laid out.” The weather was about 70 degrees the whole time, and Gene found everything about the experience to be perfect. Even the return to Utah was a thrill. “When we got out of the plane there was a ten piece band playing ‘Welcome Home’ to us and I thought there was 1,500 people there. With signs, and little kids. We shook hands, and it took us about an hour to get to our cars.” So far, NuCor has taken almost 400 veterans on Honor Flights. “And when I got back, to show my thank you to Nucor I sent them this book we did of all the veterans. They really appreciate what we did, and I really appreciated their staff.” The Oneida County Veterans Book, which lists the known service members from Oneida County along with colorized pictures, had its official release last week and promptly sold out. Another 100 copies of the volume have been ordered. “It was great to be with all those guys,” Caldwell said. He served in the Signal Corps with the 24th Infantry Division. “There was about six of us in what they called the Message Center. You had to have Top Secret clearance. I got trained down in San Luis Obispo, which took about six months. And so wherever the General was, that’s where we were. We moved up to the 38th parallel the last week we were there, and then the war ended.” As he recounts the experience, Gene has nothing but fond memories of the trip, and gratitude for the opportunity. “They treated us like kings over there. You couldn’t ask for anything better.”

Ace Grand Opening Ward’s Ace and Country Store hosted its Grand Opening over the weekend, officially opening its doors to customers. While the store has been open for business for several months, the Grand Opening serves as notice that the store is ready for business in every way possible. The Grand Opening event featured raffles for several valuable items, food trucks, outdoor grilling, in-store sales, and other highlights. The Iron Door Smokehouse, Swaffles and Cream, and Bamma Wamma’s were on hand to beat back the cold with warm food. Ace also used their Traeger and Green Egg grills to roast Thanksgiving turkey and vegetables. Brady Showell and Kendan McCullough welcomed customers to the store with the offer of freshly smoked food. The store was busy throughout the weekend, with many customers making their way in for the first time since the store’s initial opening. The product lines featured at the store were all up and running. As customers wandered around the spacious and brightly lit store, many commented on the wide selection, and the items that could not be found elsewhere in town. “Something for everyone” tuned out to be true, as the registers hummed during the evening hours on Saturday as the raffle drew closer. Store manager Enoch Ward stayed busy showing customers around the building, pointing out the store’s features and answering questions about services. One of the things that caught

people’s attention was “Larry’s Loft,” a selection of work clothes in the silo section of the building. “There really isn’t anywhere else in Malad to get clothes,” Halli Corbridge said, looking around the display. “This is awesome!” The area where the Lawn and Garden center will be in place for spring was also decked out for the holidays. The raffle winners were announced via the store’s Facebook page, which can be found under Ward’s Ace and Country store. The page has an active presence, and provides an inside look at the store and employees. IFA donated bags of feed won by James Strausser, and an outdoor stove won by Gordon Smith (“Our very first customer! He cut the ribbon”). The $100 Ace gift card was won by Jay Gregorsen. A set of binoculars was won by Tatiana Yearsley. 3 Glock range kits were won by Jennifer Blanchard, Cory Daniels, and a Melissa who left a number but not a last name. The Milwaukee Fuel Drill and Driver kit was won by Ryan Roberts. The grand prize, a $1200 Henry Law Enforcement Edition rifle, was won by Mandi Hess. Ward’s Ace and Country Store offers a wide range of home repair, outdoor, recreation, and Feed supplies. It is also the only retailer in the county offering firearms. RV storage facilities are also available for rent at the location. The posted hours for the store are 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Stop by Ward’s Ace and see what all the fuss is about.

The Music Man comes to town! There’s a reason that Meredith Willson’s “The Music Man” has been a favorite for the American stage ever since it first debuted in 1957, and the reason is that the musical is just impossibly entertaining! The Malad Valley Theater Guild’s production, directed with confidence and a fantastic sense of momentum by Sue Stevens, did a great job of scaling down a major stage spectacle to the dimensions of the Iron Door Playhouse in a way that felt rich, full, and skillfully pulled off on every front. Staging a musical with so many actors and such a frantic, nonstop pace is no small feat, and the Guild pulled it off with aplomb. Set in the fictional River City, Iowa in 1912, “The Music Man” is a quintessentially American tale. Professor Harold Hill (“Gary Conservatory Gold Medal Class of Aught Five!” as he frequently tells anyone who will listen), isn’t really a professor. And of course, he isn’t really named Harold. It probably goes without saying that the rest of it is equally untrue. Hill fits into a classic literary type in American comedy, the con man whose essentially decency is revealed as a result of unexpected human connections. As Hill becomes a part of the lives of the townspeople he initially hoped to swindle out of their money, he becomes less jaded and ultimately gives up his chance to escape and start his scheme all over again elsewhere. It turns out that he has fallen in love. Like Huckleberry Finn’s monumental decision to help Jim escape, or Moses Pray’s realization that Addie is more important to him than money, Hill’s personal journey is about learning that the most important things in life are connected to community and other people. The core message of all of these stories is the fundamental comedy principle of seeking equilibrium—the “true” selves of our characters are always revealed by the end. Brought in to inhabit the character was Jeff Richins, who played a rapid fire huckster with a very assured hand, especially given some of the verbal contortions demanded by the script. But because he’s both the protagonist and the male romantic lead, Hill’s character also requires a convincing charm and vulnerability as the plot moves toward its climax, which requires (nearly) the entire town to stand up for him. Richins sold both parts of the role very well, and was a joy to watch. From the brassy sales patter of the early 20th century to the quieter, personally revealing conversations with Marian, Richins put on a virtuoso performance. Librarian Marian Paroo is another twist on an American type, the librarian hiding a passionate side behind a stern veneer of disapproval. Marian is a small-town librarian who at the beginning of the show serves as the source of rumors for the town. Her whispered about relationship with the town founder and her promotion of risqué classical writers (“Chaucer, Rabelais,…and Balzac!”) puts her at odds with the town’s reflexive conservatism. As the plot evolves, her character becomes more complicated than she at first appears. The role requires a lot of range and dynamic control vocally, and Ne’Cole Tracy did an amazing job with her songs in the show, making them clear standouts. She was also called upon to duet with Richins as well as McCall Clark as Amaryllis, and handled the different approaches deftly. As a pair, Tracy and Richins were captivating in every scene they had to-

gether. Both were supremely assured and provided the acting and vocal talent to easily command the proceedings as the focal points. But the supporting cast was also excellent. The performances of a large cast of characters were necessary to help create an active, bustling backdrop to the actions of the leads, and they were outstanding. Many of the characters provide consistent comic relief throughout the play. Cinniman Allen, adopting an Irish brogue as Mrs. Paroo, functioned as both the emotional heart of the play, as well as a necessary comic foil to Marian and Harold. Throughout the play, Allen’s reactions and physical awareness of the needs of the scene were subtle but critical to holding the play together. As the starcrossed young romantics, Tommy (Joe Willie) and Zaneeta (Tatum Hess) did a great job inhabiting the roles of early 20th century teens, complete with the slang (“Great Honk!” “Egad!”) and energy that brought the pair to life as a model for the budding romance of the leads, and a foil to the stentorian severity of Mayor Shinn (Mike Brignone) and the town elders. Jeni Sperry’s Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn offered a middle ground between the two positions, at first following her husband’s lead at being suspicious of Hill, but gradually coming around to the joy provided by the resulting song and dance. The group of “Pick-A-Little” ladies under Shinn’s dominion also created a sense of the constant presence of town busybodies. They included Linda Randall, Marie Smith, Christine Snow, Kylee Francom, and Britta Hansen. Annie Brower, McKenna Brassfield, Cecilia Hess, Ada Campbell, and Madison Alvarez also created a running comic presence, as the Ladies Dance Auxilliary undertook their training and preparation for their dance debut. The salesman, who set the tone for the play in the opening scene, also consistently provided moments of comedy throughout the play. Kris White as Charlie Cowell was called on to act as the primary villain of the piece, the salesman whose business is constantly being ruined by Harold Hill’s shenanigans along the sales route (“the territory” as the opening vocal round would have it). While menacing in the lighthearted manner of a musical comedy, White brought a presence to the part that was convincing and entertaining. His dyspeptic mugging sold the building frustration of the character as a motivation for his vendetta against Hill. Corban Sperry, Steve Atkinson, Mike Hess, Jr., and others helped round out the salesman, and filled several roles. Jaden Hansen performed the role of Marcellus Washburn, Hill’s confidant and sometime collaborator. His clear affection for Hill helped ground the swindler’s change to an honest man. One of the visuals most associated with the musical is the barbershop quartet. Early in the play, they are depicting as constantly at odds with one another. After Hill introduces them to the concept of singing together, they become something of a Greek chorus, entering scenes to comment on events or move the plot forward. In addition to good comic timing, they also provided legitimately great barbershop harmony. George Alger, Brian Jeppsen, Louis Dredge, and Dave Harris filled the roles, and were another delight every time they appeared on stage. The Band Boys, who serve as the

unruly ruffians that transform into the exuberantly untalented band by the end were composed of Gage Brower, Asher Brower, Liam Atkinson, Levi Balazs, Jessie Balazs, William Whipple, Joe Willie, Hyrum Spencer, and Jayson Spencer. As Winthrop Paroo, Liam Atkinson also had the challenge of emoting under the conceit that a severe lisp prevented him from speaking much. Atkinson, Tracy, and Allen did a great job of creating a believable family dynamic together. The concern and affection that Marian feels for Winthrop is critical to her change in attitude toward Hill, and the pair worked very well together, playing off of Allen’s matriarch, to make that a highlight of the show. Rounding out the cast were the townspeople, who helped fill the stage and make the town seem full and busy. The townspeople included Addie Brower, Amy Giles, Caroline Whipple, Doris Young, Elizabeth Ward, Emmaline Francom, Isabella Snow, Kaleigh Worrell, Karmyn Charles, Kassidy Martin, London Hess, Natalie Webster, Nicole White, Sarah Beyler, Serena Whipple, Sofia Hess, Tabitha Webster, and Mike Hess Jr. The choreography by Kaleigh Worrell and Ada Campbell was especially impressive in this production. On the one hand, during many scenes the choreography was used to great effect to add visual comic relief to the scenes involving the Ladies Dance Auxilliary. But Worrell and Campbell also needed to manage the movement of a large number of actors on stage in a way that remained clear, but also supported the rhythm and tone of the scene. Several numbers were especially impressive in this regard, including a comic dance scene in “Marian the Librarian” and, of course, “Shipoopi,” the large dance number that opens the second act of the play right out of intermission. The music tech and light opera-

tor for the show was Laurie Richins. Along with the sets and design by Jeni Sperry, the production captured just the right later summer feeling that the musical is associated with. Mic Tech Brenda Daniels kept levels in check so that there were no issues with the large variations in range, from the show’s more intimate conversational moments to the large, bombastic crowd scenes. The sound in all of its forms was particularly impressive in the duets. The sets themselves ranged between minimal and sumptuous, with the Paroo family home and the library being standouts. The main backdrop for the town was simple and effective, and created a perfect illusion of inhabited space. The sets were constructed by Kevin Stevens, Scott Alder, and Jeff Richins. The paintings were done by Rex Lippold. Sets and costumes were designed, maintained, repaired by Ada Campbell, Shannon Worrell, and Madison Alvarez, and involved a large number of outfits. From the iconic marching band uniforms, to the early 20th century salesman getups, to a range of turn of the century fashions, the overall effect was unified and impressively coordinated. The props and set dressing similarly tied the show together in way that made the time period come to life. Ella Sperry was the stage manager. Programs were created by Anessa Gibbs, and Concession was managed by Anita Jeppsen. Once again, the Malad Valley Theater Guild put on an impressive and highly entertaining performance. The theater was nearly full during the run, with a sellout crowd on Friday, necessitating the overflow. It was a perfect way to bring a little of the warmth of midsummer to town as outside winter makes itself known. Congratulations to all the performers, crew, and organizers involved in a great show!

Not recommended for parents or kids By Gramma Dot

Grandma Red’s only sister passed away this last week. These two Bloxham girls, Sharon and Beth, grew up with two brothers, Pete and Buster, out on the Downey Flat during the 30s, 40s and early 50s. The Flat is a pretty barren area, and times were not exactly flush. There was a Depression and a World War. However, I grew up listening to their stories that made me grateful for The Flat. That barren landscape grew some hearty, good people. These kids knew how to make their own fun and there was nothing shy about any of them. Uncle Buster, my mom’s younger brother, loved to intercept mom’s letters from her boyfriends, lock himself in the bathroom which had two doors and then proceed to read the letters out loud at the top of his lungs while mom banged on the bathroom door. This carried on for a while until in the middle of one of Buster’s monologues Grandpa came in for lunch. When he heard what was happening, he hit the bathroom door, broke the lock, Uncle Buster flew out the other door and never read one of mom’s letters again. Uncle Pete was mom’s older brother and protector. According to her, he was the responsible one. I remember staying at Grandma’s when Uncle Pete came home on leave from the service. He had gifts for everyone. My surprise was a little drawstring purse that was filled with coins. I’d never seen anything so wonderful in my life. I was sleeping on the pull-

out couch that night and counted my coins until I fell asleep. Aunt Beth was a tomboy who loved to be out in the barn with the cows, horses, dogs and whatever else lived there. Mom liked to be in the house. She was tidy and organized from the beginning. Beth, not so much. They shared a room upstairs and mom could not get Beth to clean up her side. So, one day mom gathered up all of Beth’s clothes, including her underwear, tied them to a rope, one at a time, and hung that rope out the window. When the school bus dropped Beth off that afternoon all the kids got to see Beth’s “stuff” dangling from the second-story window at the front of the house. Beth bounded up the stairs, pulled the rope in and never scattered her “stuff” around again. At her funeral her grandkids talked about how neat and clean she was. Guess mom’s action paid off. Action makes for a Good Life. Solving your own problems teaches you to think, expressing gratitude with simple gifts endears you to others and stepping in when someone needs help builds bonds that weld families together. These brothers and sisters were welded. They enjoyed each other’s company, and as time went on, they provided opportunities for their posterity to mingle and do some bonding of their own. Those strong ties have extended to the next generation. That’s how you build families that last. This Thanksgiving Season, I’m thankful for Pete, Sharon, Buster and Beth. They have helped me build a Good Life.

POEMS

Cory Webster was the official bard for Malad’s Welsh Festival for several years, participating in the Welsh Festival as a musician and poet. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Webster remained the Bard for longer than his planned tenure, during which time he became quite familiar with the community. As the owner of Haywire

Ranch outside of Downey, Webster is very familiar with the area, and the seasonal ebb and flow of work on the farm and ranch. The following poems are taken with permission from his book “Haywire Ranch Poems III,” and capture both the spirit of the late fall as well as the concept of Thanksgiving.

RECIPES

Pie Recipes

Nothing is more classic for Thanksgiving dinner than following up the turkey and stuffing with pie. Whether it is a traditional apple pie, something to settle the chocolate cravings, or something with a new twist, Thanksgiving always goes right with a little pie!

SHALL WE GATHER AT THE FEEDER By Cory M. Webster

Shall we gather at the feeder-The beautiful, beautiful feeder? Heads all bowed in the fresh hay smell-We’ll all feast together on a round hay bale.

A good life fulfilled at the feeding gates; A just reward earned to sit and ruminate. Every day that passes we begin to praise; We love the sweet alfalfa and the oat hays. So shall we gather at the feeder-The beautiful, beautiful feeder? So shall we gather at the fodder,

Then wander down the hill and drink some water? At that great cattle guard up in the sky, Each life will be weighed out in that by and by. At the bars of judgment we’ll sit and wait While men consume our flesh upon the dinner plate. In the dim evening light of the setting sun, We’ll end our day just as it begun, With our heads and necks at the feeding bars, Silently drift away into the light of stars.

THE FARMER’S WORK By Cory M. Webster With twilight in the cedar hills, I see his tractor’s beam. It’s a race against the dew drops; A farmer and his dream.

This is how he feeds the masses While the city dwellers sleep. Out there in his fields, A promise yet to keep.

With his hat, coat and gloves, Holds steady to the wheel. He’s been out since 4 a.m.; He’s out there, raking still.

Once you see the dawning, How long until the sun-The farmer and his tractor; His work is never done.

GRAIN SILOS AND TEMPLES In temples saints gather To save and sanctify Prayers transcend earthly realms Temple spires in the sky From a distance I see the place Gently rising above the land Towering boldly at the edge of trees Solemnly she stands Beckoning to bring the harvest Sweet grains of our toil Wheat, barley and the oats Humbly raised in earths rich soil The scythe and thrashing The works of generations The peculiar royal workers

Victory Baptist Church

Bring in all the nations Fields are white and ready The combine harvest sure Now hear the temple trumpet sound Filling silos with grains so pure Roll those heavy laid trucks From grain fields bare and dry Roll all people t’wards that place Temple silos in the sky Come join our hands in thanks To all workers of fertile land Grain silos and temples at the edge of town Solemnly they stand

Apple Pie

By LittleSpoonFarm.com INGREDIENTS 2 (9") pie crusts 7 large Granny Smith apples peeled, cored and sliced into ½ inch slices ½ cup granulated sugar ½ cup light brown sugar loosely packed 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 tablespoon lemon juice plus the zest of half of a lemon 1 large egg lightly beaten in a small bowl for egg wash 2 tablespoons sanding sugar optional INSTRUCTIONS Place oven rack in the center position and Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice and lemon zest; toss to coat evenly. Remove the pie crust dough from the fridge and let rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll one disc into a 12" circle that is ⅛" thick. Carefully lay the crust into the bottom of a deep dish pie

plate. Spoon the apple filling over the bottom crust and discard juices at the bottom of the bowl. Roll out the second disc of pie crust until it is ⅛" thick and lay it over the apple filling. Use a sharp knife to trim the dough along the outside edge of the pie plate. Lift the edges where the two pie crust meet, gently press to seal and fold them under. Rotate the pie plate and repeat this process until edges are neatly tucked under themselves. Cut 4 slits in the top of the dough to allow steam to vent. Place the pie on a baking sheet. Brush the surface of the pie crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Cover the edges with a pie shield or a strip of foil to keep them from over browning during the first 25 minutes. Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 25 minutes. Carefully remove the pie shield, turn the oven down to 375° and continue to bake for an additional 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the juices are bubbly. Cool at room temperature for at least 3 hours.

Chocolate Cream Pie With Oreo Crust By Samantha Seneviratne on Cooking.NYTimes.com INGREDIENTS FOR THE CRUST 2 cups Oreo crumbs (from about 24 standard-sized Oreos) 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (½ stick), melted ½ teaspoon kosher salt FOR THE CUSTARD ½ cup granulated sugar 3 tablespoons cornstarch 2 tablespoons cocoa powder ¾ teaspoons kosher salt 3 cups whole milk 6 large egg yolks 8 ounces semisweet bar chocolate, finely chopped 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes 1 teaspoon vanilla extract FOR THE TOPPING 1 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar Crushed Oreos, for garnish (optional) PREPARATION Heat oven to 350 degrees. Add Oreos to the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and salt, and process until crumbs are evenly moistened. Tip mixture out into a 9-inch pie plate, and press crumbs evenly into bottom

and sides of pan. Bake until crust is fragrant and set, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Set a fine mesh sieve over a medium bowl. In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder and salt. Pouring just a little at first, whisk the milk into the sugar mixture until you have a smooth paste. Gradually add remaining milk, whisking constantly. Whisk in egg yolks. Cook mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it has thickened and just come up to a low boil, about 8 to 9 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Pour custard through sieve, pushing it through with a rubber spatula. Discard any solids. Stir in chocolate, butter and vanilla, and let it stand for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Pour mixture into prepared crust. Let cool slightly, then cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 6 hours. To serve, whip cream and confectioners’ sugar until soft peaks form. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed Oreos, if using.

Give thanks to farmers and ranchers

By Allison Eliason

Thanksgiving week is often the pinnacle point of heartfelt gratitude. The holiday helps us to slow down and take time to see all of the goodness in our lives. We give thanks for the families around us, the homes and careers we have, the opportunities for growing and learning and the many luxuries we have that we surely take for granted. High on that list of thanks should be the farmers and ranchers that help feed families around the world. This may seem like an obvious choice but I wonder how many people actually realize that without the backbreaking work of the agriculture industry, their thanksgiving would look very different. From the turkey at the center of the thanksgiving table to the stuffing and corn and mashed potatoes and even the sweet potato souffle, it all began in someone’s field. Those tasty rolls began as a small wheat seed that was cultivated, harvested,

milled and prepared into the flour you used to make great-grandma’s best ever roll recipe. That sweet whipped cream started at the dairy and made its way to the shelves for you to whip up for a tasty pie garnish. That beautiful garden salad is brought to you by the row crop farmers tending their lettuce, carrot and onion fields, just to start. There isn’t a single bit of Thanksgiving dinner you could have without the management and stewardship of farmers and ranchers. No, I take that back. In this day and age there are plenty of synthetic food alternatives and imitations that you could choose from. But synthetic foods only imitating the real flavor of a savory plate of meat and potatoes could never compare to the real thing. Besides thanking farmers and ranchers for the foods you get to enjoy, not only on Thanksgiving day, but every day, we owe them a thanks because without them, there is so much of life we wouldn’t enjoy. Imagine if you can, a world

without large operations growing masses of food products to sell around the world. Imagine what life would be like if you were responsible to grow and provide all of the food that you and your family would eat. Tending to animals and crops, harvesting the meats and vegetables, processing the farm products into kitchen ready goods would be all consuming. Think back to our pioneer ancestors and the time they gave to butcher their own animals, churn their butter and grind their wheat. If we were completely dependent on providing all our own foods we would either have very little or spend all our time growing it. With advancements in technology came great improvements in agriculture that allowed farmers and ranchers the capacity to take on more crops and more acreage to feed more families than just their own. As people could purchase foods, it in turn allowed them to use their time and energy in other

ways. People could follow their dreams and new ideas, whether it was an exciting career, traveling adventures or enjoying the arts. Today we have celebrities, stars and popular figures that do very little to provide for themselves, but rather spend all their time entertaining us. Around the world are presidents, leaders and dignitaries that work to make our countries safer to raise our families. Our children have chances to learn more things in more ways than our forefathers could have ever dreamed of. And all of these opportunities and more are afforded to us because we have an agriculture industry that takes on the responsibility to feed the world. This week as you count your blessings and all the good you have, remember that so much of it comes from the good men and women that labor in fields across the world. They deserve your thanks this season.

LOOKING BACK

5 YEARS AGO (2018) Khalil and Patsy Scott are celebrating 70 years together! They began dating on Easter of 1947 and were engaged to be married December 2, 1948 at the Price home in Samaria, Idaho and their marriage was solemnized in the Logan Temple. They have lived in Pleasantview next door to the Scott Service, the family business, for the past 66 years and have raised six children, 27 grandchildren, 65 great-grandchildren and one greatgreat-grandchild. The friends of Kola Hansen helped Malad City celebrate Arbor Day when a spruce tree was planted in her memory at the Malad City Walking Path. Beside the tree is a bench her friends donated, for people to rest and contemplate. A plaque has been set by the tree to indicate that the tree and bench were placed in memory of Kola Hansen. Friends are invited to visit the site and remember their friend. Despite the cold weather, members of the Malad Gun Club held their annual Thanksgiving Turkey Shoot on Saturday, November 17 with a good crowd attending. Because of the cold, shooters would line up to shoot and then go in the building to warm up before another round. There were many who joined in the fun at the Gun Club to try their luck at winning a Thanksgiving turkey or ham. The event started with a few warmup rounds, and then competition started and lasted throughout the day. Between 14 and 24 shooters competed in a group. The last three standing in each group were declared the winners. About 80 turkeys and 40 hams were won by those participating Saturday. The annual shoot is well attended every year, and this year was no exception. Malad residents and friends from Utah enjoyed the day. Lizzy Clark just finished her first season playing soccer at Western Wyoming Community College, where she helped her team take Region 9 NJCAA championship. Lizzy traded in her orange and black uniform to wear the colors of red and black for the Western Wyoming Mustangs, who completed their soccer season with a record of 13-7-1. Region 9 is comprised of junior colleges in Wyoming , Nebraska, Colorado and Montana. After taking Region 9 NJCAA championship, Western Wyoming was the runner-up in the Great Lakes District Finals. losing to #3 Iowa Western. 10 YEARS AGO (2013) Residents of the Oneida LongTerm Care Facility are writing their letters to Santa – or something like that!

They are all works of art and crafted with love. The Kay Higley home located at 4010 West Samaria Road appeared to be a total loss following a fire on Saturday. First reported to the Oneida County Sheriff’s dispatch as a chimney fire, deputies, firemen with four fire trucks, and Oneida ambulance services responded, but found the home’s roof caved in and the structure fully engulfed in flames. 15 YEARS AGO (2008) Shannon Ansley from the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, pictured in The Idaho Enterprise presents a plaque to Rod Tubbs and Mayor Spence Horsley in recognition of Malad City’s plan to protect the water supply.

Meeting on Thursday, November 9 th , 2023. It was decided that the quilt club will have hot lunches provided by the luncheon committee during the winter months—October through March. During the months of April through September the club members will bring their own sack lunches. 12-inch quilt blocks are needed for charity. For December’s meeting: please bring 4 fat quarters for the gift exchange and a potluck item for lunch. The meeting will be held on Thursday, December 15. During our show and tell, Brenda Daniels asked us to tell the group about our favorite quilting tool. The favorites included several ladies who enjoy their rotary cutters, a large cutting board that folds up, a fabric folding pen, several ladies really like a very sharp seam ripper—by Bernina or the seam ripper that goes over your thumb by Riley Blake and sold at Allen Drug. Other favorites include Press and Seal—a kitchen plastic wrap to use when sewing Minky fabric, a stand light to use over a rocking chair for hand sewing, favorite rulers and long measuring tapes, a stapler, a really good iron, or a rechargeable iron, and a steamer. Tammy Benson taught us how to wash and repair old, vintage, heirloom or antique quilts. Tammy worked for the Smithsonian in the quilt repair department. Her specialty was working with flour sack quilts. Things have changed in quilting fabrics. We now have polyester, poly/ cotton mixed, and 100% cotton. For your quilt repair, you can find something similar to the fabric to repair or replace a piece in your heirloom quilt. Museums want quilts in their original state, and they don’t want patched up quilts. The most important thing for you to consider in repairing a quilt, is to decide, “what am I going

to do with it? Will I be using it on a bed for everyday use? Will I hang it up as a wall hanging? How many times will I need to wash it?” A fifty-year-old quilt is an antique. Ponder your game plan: Will you put patches on it? Retire it and keep it safe? Cover it with another quilt and use it as your batting? Quick and easy quilt repair: Your seams are coming apart—You can hand stitch the seams together. The fabric rips—You can zig-zag with your sewing machine. Patching holes—Small holes: stitch over the hole, darn it like you would with socks. Or use stitch witchery to seal the hole together. Large holes: unpick and put in a new, similar piece. If you have a very damaged quilt, you can cut out the part that is still good and make that part into a mini quilt or frame it. Quilts wear out. If you tear your quilt apart, take a picture so you will know how to put it back together. Why pay someone $900 to $1000 to repair your quilt? You are a quilter, so you can do it yourself. Don’t be afraid to wash an antique quilt. Wash your quilt in the bathtub with detergent. You may need to wash more than once. Wash your quilt gently, up and down. Rinse in clear water, the same way. Then, squish the quiltagainst the side of the tub to remove as much water as possible. Do not wring the quilt. Remove the quilt from the tub by placing it on a sheet as in a sling. You can lay it out on the sheet to dry or hang it over several lines of your clothesline. Dry outside in nice weather. Do not use your dryer. Palmolive dish soap is recommended for hard water. People are afraid to wash quilts. They are dirty. Old glory is washed every three months. Storing your quilt: Store old quilts with cardboard and tissue paper. Don’t store it in plastic. Quilts need to breathe. C Y

MHS Wrestling Preview

MMS Knights Wrestling team. The girls team took first at districts!

MMS Wrestling Season ends Just as soon as it began, the Malad Middle School has wrapped up their 2023 season. The Knights wrestling team had a great season this year, coached by Allen Edwards, Josh Davis and Thomas Maddox. Debuting for the first time in MMS wrestling history, was an official girls wrestling team. Most of the lady wrestlers had not wrestled before this year, but they were quick to pick up the sport and even quicker to use their new knowledge on the mats. Ending the season on a high, the Malad girls team took first at the district tournament last weekend. The Lady Knights tallied up district champion and 4 district runner ups. Katy Carter took 1st, Aleah Seamons, Harley Maddox, Stella Merja and Paysli Chournos all took 2nd place. Commenting on their season, the Knight’s wrestling coaches shared, “It is such a great thing to see women’s wrestling growing the way it is and Malad is a part of that. The girls we have on our team have worked very hard to learn a sport that is new to them. They are great teammates and supporters of each other.” The MMS Knight wrestlers had a

strong show at district tournament as well, finishing the tournament with 9 district champions and an impressive total of 20 medalists. The team took 2nd at the district tournament, coming up just a few points behind Soda Springs. District Champions include Brecken Price, Kallen Price, Krey Keetch, Riggin Montgomery, Wade Clark, Jace Nalder, Mason Ball, Rawzen Munns, and Bronson Smith. Earning a 3rd Place finish was Joe Angell, Brady Ogelsbee, Jaxon Mills, Bastian Miller, Gavin Hooste, and Jaxton Price. Taking 4th place were Bridger Barnes, Jaxon Purser, David Leckie, Ira Carter, and Josiah Sarceda. “These kids showed up to wrestle and do their absolute best at the district tournament,” said the MMS wrestling coaches. “Everyone of them gave their all and made us incredibly proud. We are grateful to the parents that support the team and help us to make it a fun experience for our wrestlers. We are looking forward to coaching these kids through their wrestling careers.”

With their first official week of practices in the books for the 2023/2024 season, the Malad Dragon wrestling has finally kicked off. The Dragon and Lady Dragon wrestlers are already hard at work preparing for their upcoming season. 38 Dragon wrestlers and 15 Lady Dragon wrestlers have signed up and qualified to compete for Malad High School this season. Both the men’s and women’s teams have the numbers and experience to be extremely tough and competitive this season. The Dragons wrestling program is led by Head Coach Devin Morrison who enters his 13th season as Malad’s head coach. The Lady Dragons are led and coached by Russ Clark who begins his second year as he helps trailblaze the women’s wrestling program for Malad. Coach Clark brings years of coaching experience to help take the Lady Dragon wrestlers to the top. Both coaches are aided with a number of assistants that provide ample experience, knowledge and feedback to keep the wrestlers working at their peak this season. Seven seniors will be leading their team into the season, including Blaiz Wright, Jace Potter, Tommy Angell, Hunter Wray, Dylan Moss, Lex Driskel and Mason Brees. Along with these leaders, several of the Dragons wrestlers bring their own vital expe-

Lady Dragons Basketball Moving through their first week of games, the Lady Dragons have made an irrefutable statement with aggressive and dominating play- they are here to PLAY. Going three for three of their games thus far in the season, they have outshot, outworked, outmaneuvered and flat out, outplayed their opponents. By no means has the MHS girls basketball team been perfect, but what they have been is adaptable, fierce and determined, making them a force for any team they come up against. The Lady Dragons first went up against the Cougars in Firth on Wednesday, November 15. Malad came out with a bit of a rocky start, struggling to make baskets and committing fouls early on in the game. But their defense kept them in it, hustling to put on the pressure to make stops on the Cougar offense and give their own offense another look. Izzy Haycock first put points on the board for Malad, hitting a three pointer from the left wing as the clock ticked down to 5:42. With that basket, it seemed to open up the floor and they would score on their next two possessions. Olivia Nelson with the ball down on the block, started to make a move through the key where she found Mikell Keetch open. Quickly dishing it over, Nelson passed the ball to Keetch who finished the play with a quick shot from the paint for two points. On their next trip down the floor, Brynnlee Jones found an open shot on the arc for three. Offensively, the Lady Dragons had found a way to capitalize on the Cougar defensive strategy. Starting their defense at half court, the Cougars would force Malad left, making it the only way to bring the ball down. Being more than capable to work the ball down that side of the court, Malad would drive, beating the defense down the sideline. Making the most of their advantage, it became a simple game of drive and dish. As the Lady Dragons drove the seams of the Cougar defense, they would force the defense to commit to the ball and then kick back out to the open player for the shot. Alternatively, if the defense wouldn’t step in to shut off the drive, Malad would finish taking it all the way in to score the easy layup. On several occasions, Haycock and Keetch would find themselves bringing the ball down the court without a defender attempting to pick them up. They saw the opportunity to drive down the lane, weaving between the slow defenders with their sure ball handling skills to take it in for the score. It wasn’t until nearly a minute left

in the opening quarter that Firth finally put one through the hoop to make the score 18-3. Nelson added two more points for Malad as the quarter closed out as she put in two shots from the free throw line, ending the quarter 20-3. Firth slowly started making their way back into the game, finally connecting with the basket on offense but Malad made their opportunities few and far in between. Having studied their play, the Lady Dragons could anticipate their moves to either cut off the pass or intercept it. Nelson had four steals in the key as she employed that very tactic. The Cougars made adjustments with their defense, working to cut off the drive. The Lady Dragons equally adjusted, swinging the ball around the outside, making quick passes around to the open player on the outside faster than the defense could keep up. On one such occasion, Malad had the ball in the corner on the left side. They passed up to the wing and then over to Keetch on the opposite wing, wide open to flutter the net with a three pointer. The Lady Dragons also worked to maximize opportunities on their transition down the court. Nelson, quick to board, cleared the ball out to Jones who connected with Haycock midcourt. Seeing open teammate Oaklie Hebdon, Haycock passed it into Hebdon on the arc for a quick three pointer. As the half began to wind down, the Lady Dragons maintained their commanding lead. Hallie Horsley found herself at the free throw for Malad after getting fouled on the rebound putback. Sinking both shots, Horsley put the Lady Dragons up 36-17 with only eight seconds left. Horsley would go nine for twelve at the line for Malad, leading the team with a total of 21 points. As the game recommenced after the half, Firth came out with a new offensive tactic- to spread the defense out to work the ball inside. Their new game plan gave them new looks that seemed to help them gain ground on the scoreboard, but the Lady Dragons continued to hit shots and continued to dominate the game. As the final buzzer rang out, Malad claimed the win, 72-56. The Lady Dragons hosted Ririe Saturday, November 18 in a long anticipated matchup after a disappointing loss, followed by a reconciling win in their 2022/2023 season. Splitting their games the previous season, Malad was determined to come out and dominate the court. Jones led the Lady Dragons from the moment of tip off, draining a three pointer from the corner less than ten seconds into the game. Af-

Brynnlee Jones hit an impressive nine 3 pointers in the MHS matchup against the Ririe Bulldogs.

ter regaining possession after a defensive stop, Jones brought the ball down court, pulling up for a jumper at the top of the arc for another net fluttering three. After a MHS rebound, Haycock brought the ball down into Dragon territory, driving into the defense to create space for the kickout to Jones behind her to hit yet another three pointer. With less than one minute off the clock, the Lady Dragons found themselves up 9-0. Nelson kept the pressure on as she put up a rebound from the block to make it 11-0. Ririe’s coach called a timeout, attempting to stop the bleeding and reign in the Malad offense. The Bulldogs kickstarted their offense after the timeout, finding their own luck from behind the arc with a couple of three pointers. Their offense brought a unique threat to the floor by spreading players out along the outside, making room to cut in and drive or capitalize on the open shot. The Lady Dragon defense fought to shut down their play, desperate to minimize the opportunities the Cougars would have off of their well played screens. With three minutes left in the quarter, the Bulldogs managed to pull ahead, 20-16. Not feeling the least unsure of their game, the Lady Dragons battled back to come back on top. Hebdon dished into Nelson alone on the elbow, who drove down the lane and under the hoop where she put it in for two on a reverse layup. On the next RHS possession, Haycock came in for the weakside rebound and took it down to pull up for the three pointer to reclaim the lead as the quarter ended. Moving into the second quarter, the Ririe offense could have easily pushed back as play could easily lead to defensive mismatches, open looks down the lane and free shots from the outside. But with the reps down the floor, Malad was able to tighten down their defense and nearly shut down their offense, not only for the quarter, but for the remainder of the game. Playing quick on their feet, the Lady Dragon defense did well to help on the drive, come out hands up on passes and playing big on the rebounds. Malad played equally intense and aggressive on offense, posing a threat both on the outside as well as on the block. A number of times, Nelson

and Horsley found themselves isolated inside with the wings sending it in. With what seemed like an effortless move, they would step around the defense to lay it off the glass for two points. From the outside, Haycock, Hebdon, and Jones would drive or it up shots from the arc. No matter what the Bulldog defense tried, there was just no stopping the Lady Dragons. Going into half, Malad was back up 41-27. Beginning in the third quarter, Malad jumped in with the same focus and pressure which converted to a 22-11 run over the next quarter. Jones, on fire from the arc, accounted for 20 of those points. The Lady Dragons worked the ball around the court, swinging it from side to side, finding Jones open on the arc. Three minutes later, the same ball movement left Jones open again on the left wing, hitting a second three pointer. With the crowd cheering, “Give it to her!” Jones settled into her sweet spot to sink another after a MHS offensive rebound. With a 1:20 left in the quarter, Hebdon took two dribbles in before a quick jumper, grabbing her own rebound after the miss. Pivoting around on the free throw line, Hebdon found Jones open at the top of the court and connected for a fourth three pointer for the quarter. Over the game, Jones went an impressive nine for twelve behind the arc, hitting a dominating 27 points for the game. Keeping with their momentum and commanding lead to the end of the game, the Lady Dragons finished the game 71-55, playing four full quarters of intense, aggressive basketball. Head Coach Trevor Jones spoke of their games over the week saying, “These girls have really learned to come out and play. They don’t let up. We talk about changes we need to make and then they make them. They want the ball and they show that every time they get on the floor. We are super proud of how hard these girls work. They make this fun basketball and we are excited to see where this season takes us as they continue to drive and improve daily.” With the Thanksgiving holiday moving in, the Lady Dragon team will next compete in the Ririe tournament November 20- December 2.
