Fire Department Hosts 100th Annual Fireman’s Ball

Saturday night, the volunteer fireman all came out in their finest for a celebration of not just the year that was, but the century. The Malad volunteer fire department was founded over a hundred years ago, and has been a bedrock of the community ever since. Although there were no firm numbers gathered, the number of chairs set out was 240, and the number of people in attendance clearly exceeded that at times during the evening, with an active dance floor, refreshment area, and general mingling. The firemen and their dates first gathered for a picture session at around 7:00, where several awards and plaques were presented. Jason Schwartz was awarded the Fireman of the Year award. 10 year service plaques were given to Donny Hunt and Zack Blaisdell. 15 year service plaques were given to Doug Crowther, Rob Hess, and Jerry Thomas. A 35 year service award, with a special axe plaque was given to Ceylon Reeder. A 40 year service award was given to Ed Jones and Gary Shepherd. Last year’s Fireman of the Year was Deric ANNUAL FIREMAN'S BALL On Page 4

Malad Valley Community Chorus “Rings Those Christmas Bells”

After the Malad Valley Community Chorus’s Christmas concert had to be cancelled for two years due to COVID, this year’s concert heralded the Christmas season for singers and audience. The 47th annual Christmas concert began with the theme “Ring Those Christmas Bells” on Sunday, December 12, at the Malad 2nd/4th/5th Ward Chapel. Conducted once again by Ralph Bennett with Helen Ward as the accompanist, the 32-voice chorus sang old favorites, including “Carol of the Bells” and “It’s

Christmas Again,” as well as new selections, including “River Carol” and “Joy Be Yours in the

Morning!” The women of the chorus sang “A Friend in Winter,” and the men

sang “Guard, Him, Joseph.” As is a tradition in Malad, former members of the chorus joined the current group in “The Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel’s “The Messiah.” Featured soloists were violinist Hannah Anderson in “Night of Won-

der” and cellist Bobbie Ward in “Bring Us Hope.” In the middle of the concert, the president of the Chorus, George Alger, presented gift cards to Mr. and Mrs. Bennett and to Mrs. Ward to thank them for their efforts in continuing the

Community Chorus. The near-capacity audience enjoyed “Christmas Love,” the traditional last song of the Community Chorus’s Christmas concert, and left the concert, knowing the Christmas season has arrived in Malad Valley.

Seniors Display Their Final Projects The Malad High School commons was crowded December 6 as the senior class displayed their final projects. Over the last few months these students have had the assignment to select and carry out a project that would produce a final product, that would represent a learning stretch for the student, and that would be significant to the student or others that would require at least 15 hours. The students were required to document the entire course of completing their project. Along with their project they were required to write a research paper related to their project and present it. The students chose mentors to help them along their way that could teach them and work with them as they completed their projects. Mentors were required to be an expert in the area involving the student’s project. Students chose parents, friends, neighbors or other family members as their mentors. Completing a senior project is a requirement for graduation from the Idaho State Board of Education. The goal of such a project is to demonstrate the culmination of a student’s high school career, providing an integrated project-based learning experience. Through the senior project, students pull from a variety of classes, instruction and other training to accomplish their set goal and display it for others to learn from and enjoy. There were few requirements in choosing a project allowing the students to find something that piqued their interest, which led to a variety of displays and projects presented Monday at the Senior Project Open House. Students found inspiration in future careers such as learning to weld or cosmetology school. Others chose projects that taught life skills to be used throughout their life like sewing, quilting or cutting hair. Several students saw needs within the community and chose projects that would be a benefit to Oneida County. Such projects included preparing for the installment of a new running track, lighting the M with solar powered lights, starting up the new bass fishing club, providing solar powered game crossing signs and making pamphlets for the local swimming pool. These projects also required fundraising and working with other businesses, programs and departments in the community. Many students chose projects that not only taught them new skills, but were also personally meaningful. One student chose to make pillowcases from her grandpa’s t-shirts that had passed a way as a means to remember him. Another built a remembrance chest to collect stories and keepsakes to be passed on. Many students chose projects because of their interest to learn something new and try something they hadn’t ever done before but had been itching to try, such as building a C Y

By accomplishing these many projects, they spoke of how they learned many lessons along the way. First and foremost, they learned new skills to carry out their projects. But they also learned skills in problem solving and critical thinking as they ran into challenges. Many students talked about learning patients, lessons of trial and error, time management skills, and the power of sheer will and determination. Teachers and advisors shared how this project can bring feelings of stress and being overwhelmed but also great satisfaction of accomplishing such a demanding task as their senior project. Congratulations to the senior class for completing their projects and moving one step closer to graduation! Pictured with this article are some of the projects.

New City Superintendent Tyler Webster New city employee Tyler Webster is not new to the job of infrastructure management itself, but he is new to Malad. Webster was born and raised in Kaysville, Utah, the child of a 6th generation farming family whose ancestors came across the plains in the mid-nineteenth century. As an owner of a ranch in the Arbon Valley, he knows the region well. “When I was a kid, I remember playing in the road outside our house and never seeing anyone all day. The last time I tried to get out of that driveway, I had to wait ten minutes for traffic,” he says. The growth of the Layton/Kaysville area over the 30 years he spent working for the city are a good symbol of the growth that has been seen in many nearby cities. “Coming here was exactly right—the pace of things in Malad is a lot more my speed.” In his former job, he had forty plus employees at his disposal for just the roads themselves. Now he finds himself in a situation where his management scope has definitely increased in terms of the number of things under his purview. “There are a lot more hats to wear here,” he laughs. The

City Superintendent has the supervisory control over many of the city’s infrastructure elements, including streets, water issues, the city cemetery, sewer lines, parks, and more. “We take a look at everything related to infrastructure,” he says. As far as his immediate concerns, having had his feet on the ground for around a week, Webster identifies a few major projects. The reconstruction of Bannock Street west is an ongoing project he has been brought into. The street, which currently extends to the park, is in the process of reconfiguring its drainage, as well as curbs and gutters that lead up to it. The project involves not only the storm drainage, but also reconstructing the road base, and consolidating the sewer lines. In addition, the bid for new wastewater lagoons for the city’s sewer system was recently accepted. The construction on that project will begin in spring. In terms of what Webster sees as challenges for the future, he suggests that upgrading the city’s systems from those that have been in place to more integrated digital and systems is a priority. In many cases,

It is a season of joy in Small-town USA. It’s a time to give and a time to be grateful. The “stuff” has changed, but the feelings remain. Looking back, Christmases stir up images of Barbie dolls, ice skates, sweaters with matching knee socks and making the rounds Christmas morning to see what Santa had left at each friend’s home. Joy was there. Perhaps, the most lasting image in my memory was the year the downtown Christmas Ceylon Reeder receives his 35 year plaque tree froze in the manhole where Main meets Bannock. We had the joy of dodging the trunk well into February that year. This year, Hadley and Elle are into fidgets. They think fidgets are joyful. Fidgets are an array of hand toys developed to calm the senses. I first thought of fidget spinners, but they are old news. We now have popits, monkey sticks, mesh marbles, modified rubic cubes, squishy balls and the list goes on. My favorite fidget is the popit, which is an imitation of bubble wrap. Now, I have to admit, there is nothing more joyful than having your own wad of bubble wrap to pop. With a pop-it, you Fireman of the Year Justin Schwartz and his wife Nikki

Wilson. The 2020 event broke the consecutive 99 year streak when it was not held as usual due to the COVID restrictions in place at the time. This year’s winner, Jason Schwartz, has hopefully ushered in a new 100 year era of the event, which is primarily a chance to acknowledge and celebrate the many contributions that Malad’s firemen make to the community. During the Raffle drawing, a number of donated prizes were given out. Two gun safes were given out to Hayden Schwartz and Ty Berry. A custom bell, crafted by Doug Adams, was won by Sonny Blaisdell. A pair of high powered binoculars were won by Colleen Montgomery. 1000 rounds of ammo were won by Richard Allen. A cooler was won by Christine Ward. The event moved to the Event Center at 8:00, where the Ball was held for the first time. In addition to a raffle and a lively celebration, the Ball consisted of hours of dancing. The music was provided by the “Rough Stock Band,” which played a range of country, oldies, classic rock

the city’s system for notating where various infrastructure components are is based in maps and the memories of former city employees. In order for more efficient repairs and cataloging to take place, those systems need to be made more accessible and consistently described. Webster is focused on getting those systems to the places they need to be without adding any undue burden to taxpayers in the county. “I’m really excited about the challenge of getting everything going, and I’ve had a great time getting to know people here. They’re really my kind of people—I’m a country boy myself. And I’m looking forward to raising the quality of life for people here by updating the systems we use to manage our infrastructure.”

Grandparents Only see where it falls on the Joy Meter. Merry Christmas to all of you Grandparents. May you find joy this Christmas season through your giving, your gratitude and your own version of bubble wrap!

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMSSIONERS MEETING 12/13

Homeowner Exemption—Tax Cancellation As a result of the current market values for homes, and the recent homeowners tax exemption law, affects 2021 taxes for homeowners who apply for the exemption before the end of the calendar year. The total amount cancelled so far has been a little over $4,000. Boundary Line Agreement The Assessor’s office reported on a survey which had recently been conducted on a county property. There is a discrepancy between the county’s description of the property and the legal description on the part of the property owner. According to the Assessor, there are a number of property boundaries throughout the county with a similar overlap between clear boundary descriptions. The property owner in question is hoping to fence off the area in order to create a space for horses. The Commissioners felt that the question required more research and the benefit of legal counsel in order to provide an answer. One of the main issues involved is the potential of setting a precedent 911 Radio Dispatch The Sheriff reported that the dispatch car radios have not been working for the last several weeks. The Officers have been forced to use handheld radios in place of those in the vehicles. The use of handhelds in place of vehicle-based radios creates a number of logistical and response problems. The Sheriff expressed concerns about the potential for slow response times and missed communication. The contractor has explained that the dispatch system is not sufficient to handle the traffic across multiple emergency radio response networks. 911 calls themselves are not being affected by the problem, but the ability of interagency units to communicate with each other has been seriously affected. A new system has been discussed as part of ARPA grant funding, though the Sheriff expressed his belief that the current system is in more immediate need of replacement, expansion, or some other remediation, as he did not believe the current system could be fixed. The issue of a shared space for the Probation offices of the Felony and Juvenile divisions was raised. The Commission felt inclined to donate the space to Felony probation as a courtesy, and to avoid entering into a more complex tenancy arrangement. The other issue is arranging a schedule for the building use so that felony probationers will not end up interacting with juvenile probationers. TV Translator Board Harry Sherman, representing the TV Translator Board, addressed the Commission to provide an update on the status C Y

M K

of the board. According to the state code, the board requires at least 5 members. Randy Thomas has committed to staying on the board, along with Sherman, and Mike Asay who was contacted by Councilman Christophersen. There are several other potential individuals who have been suggested for the board but either not been contacted or committed to the posting. The rules say that the board should meet once a month, though the board has been meeting quarterly during their transition. This monthly meeting can be handled by a conference call or telemedia conference. The Translator system itself is what allows local TV broadcasts (including the networks, as well as other over-theair broadcasters such as MeTV) to continue to be accessed by antennas. The frequencies which are assigned to the local broadcasts need to be maintained in order to keep them assigned to the locality. The Commission expressed a desire to help expedite the process of establishing the 5 members necessary for maintaining the board, and allowing it to move forward into the new year. Idaho Transportation Board Tod Hubbard, district engineer, along with Graden Right, addressed the Commission to discuss the recent landslide at milemarker 21 at Devils Creek reservoir near the site of the dam. The engineers had placed monitoring wells near to site to determine how much water was in the ground throughout the slide area. It was determined that there is water within 5 feet of the surface on the east side of I-15. Wells have been placed on the west side as well to further monitor the conditions within the slide area. TheDept explained that their future plans included using horizontal piping to drain the water out of the system. They believed that the sides of the roadway would not need a retaining wall, and that draining the water from the subsurface should be sufficient to stabilize the situation. The ITD alerted the Commission they would most likely need to establish a right of way agreement with the state and locality as they anticipate working on the roadside area. The ITD will be working with Oneida County Road and Bridge over the future of the project. EMPG Grant Dan Williams presented the Commission with a grant that needed to be signed in order to be approved. The grant covers a broadband radio device for the Sheriff’s Office. The radio is not in place of the previously mentioned radio system. The handheld radios currently in use are limited to UHF functionality, while the radio requested through the grant operates on multiple bandwidths (UHF,

VHF, and 700mps) to allow for communication between different systems with different frequencies. This radio will serve as a multi-agency receiver. The ARPA funds will pay for roughly half of the radio’s cost. The radio would be used by a supervisor on duty. While the new system, which is under discussion, will allow for the same kind of expanded communication potential, this handheld unit would allow for a mobile mechanism for accomplishing that in the short term, and continue to be a valuable asset down the road. The ARPA grants need to either be used to fund the radio, or the grant will expire, though the SHSP grant could be alternately used to fund a similar radio under a different funding stream. Under the ARPA grant, the total which can be matched to is $5800, though the cost of the radio itself is $6300, leaving $3500 to be paid by the county (half of the grant, plus the extra cost). A motion was made to use the ARPA EMPG (Emergency Management Performance Grant) grant to support the purchase of the radio. The motion carried and the grant request was signed. The Fire Department has also requested a new Carbon Monoxide detector as part of the SHSP grant funds, and the Sheriff’s Office has requested 12 local-use radios as expenses funded through the separate SHSP grant. Pilot Gold Mine An agreement with Pilot Gold Mine for maintenance of the road to the mine. The County Road and Bridge department has agreed to grade the road and prep the road for dust-guarding from the state line to Juniper and the BLM easement, and the Mine itself will apply the dust-guarding in the spring. If the mine is unable to keep the road clear for use during the winter, the county will use its grader to clear the road, under the understanding that the Mine will pay for it. The agreement for road maintenance and the county was approved and signed. Steed/Stone Road Findings of Fact and Conclusion of Law in the case of the road validation discussed during the last commissioners meeting were approved by vote. Opioid Signatures The commissioners signed a set of documents related to the state’s settlement with opioid manufacturers. The county joined most other Idaho counties in the settlement, which will provide funds for opioid education and remediation throughout the state. Water District Funds County Vessel Fund Remittance Form. Funds from boat registration are used to fund reservoir and recreation areas around the county. There are plans to use these funds from

diving certification for responders, various repairs around the reservoirs, new safety equipment, and other items. These funds are provided through collected fees. Security System—M2 Systems A panic alarm system is a system that is in place in the courthouse, Crisis Center, County Annex, School District Office, the Library, Malad Elementary, City Hall, and other sensitive locations throughout the county. The system provides direct emergency signaling to the emergency response network. Representatives of M2, a potential contractor for a new alarm system, addressed the commission with an overview of the system. The company representatives explained that they work exclusively with counties, cities, and school districts. The model they use is a subscription-based model, which focuses on outcomes. According to the presentation, this means that the company will replace and fix any devices that are not providing the promised outcomes. The company performs quarterly tests of the equipment, as part of their yearly service agreement. The coordination and unification of the systems in place (for instance, multiple camera installations) are part of the company’s overriding ethos, as well as end-user ease of use and training. Camera systems, keycard access, and panic buttons are among their services. Their focus is on safety for employees and other individuals within the facilities protected by the services. The security system will run through the dispatch system locally. M2 quoted a price of $2,277/yr (or around $1,800 for just the county buildings) for essentially leasing the equipment and establishing a service contract. The school district and its facilities have their own system arrangement. The Commission determined to take the issue under advisement.

Annual Road and Street Report The Commission reviewed the financial report for the Road and Bridge department. The annual financial Road and Street Report was discussed and approved. Juvenile Justice Annual Report Lottery, Tobacco, and Juvenile Justice funds from the state all provide the funding for the county juvenile justice system. The report was accepted by unanimous approval. Beer Licenses Beer licenses must be purchased before January 1. The state licenses are granted in October, though the county ones reset by calendar year. Local vendors are required to apply with the county after receiving a state license. Sinclair Central, the Dude Ranch, Chat n Chew, Thomas Market, the Kwik Stop, CJ’s, Hotel Malad, Maverick, the Top Stop, and KC Oil all applied, and had their licenses approved. Cedar Ridge Road Project Diana Dredge reported on a road project on Cedar Ridge. The project involves a narrow road which is currently impossible for grain trucks to move through. The landowner is willing to give up some of his property in order to create a road through what is currently a field in order to accommodate the agricultural traffic. If the road is abandoned and the property given over to County Roads to create a new throughway, the question of what will

legally be required was raised and discussed. Essential Workers Cody Brower responded to a question about the potential for ARPA funds to be used to supplement additional pay for essential workers throughout the county. The Commission is interested in demonstrating to individuals who worked throughout the pandemic the county’s appreciation. The issue, of exactly what constitutes “essential” under the guidelines laid out by various agencies, is at the heart of whether such bonuses would be possible. Latah County was used as an example of a county who has proposed using ARPA funding to provide premium pay for county employees this year. In the case of Latah County, the employees were given a range of bonuses based on their level of risk exposure. Lewis County, as another example, distributed a flat rate to all county employees, finding that all employees experienced a shared risk. The time period on which these bonuses would based, was also an issue that was discussed. It was also volunteered that the ARPA funds were limited, and may be needed for more urgent needs. The discussion was not attached to an Action Item, so it was suggested that the Commission would call a special session to revisit the bonus issue as an Action Item on the 15th. There are 54 part time and 43 full time county employees.

First installment of property taxes are due by December 20 Oneida County Treasurer Leigh Love reminds Oneida County property owners that the first installment of 2021 real property taxes are due by Monday, December 20. If at least the first half taxes are not paid on or before December 20, they will be delinquent and a two percent late charge will be added,

as well as interest at 12 percent. Idaho property taxpayers have the option of paying their taxes in full on or before December 20 of the year they accrue, or they can pay the first half and the second half is due on or before June 20 of the following year, without penalty.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING 12/8 Minutes for November 10, 2021 were approved. Bills totaling $61,121.61 were also approved. Park Light Bid Mayor Hawkins received a $20,000 grant from Blue Cross of Idaho. With that grant the city is planning to complete the lighting project around the walking path. The city received a bid for lights from the company that provided the first phase, Mountain States Lighting for $32,630. This is just for the poles and light fixtures. The electrical to hook up the lights will be additional, but the city believe there is enough in the park budget to accomplish this. Lance Tripp commented that with this good weather, there are as many people walking as in the summer and it gets dark earlier, so the lights will be a welcome addition. Purchase of the lights was approved. New Council Member Tom Jenkins’ resignation will be official in the new year. Since this timing did not allow for his seat to be voted on

during the recent City Council election, the remainder of his term will be filled by an appointee. The Mayor asked Jamie Olsen to fill the position of Tom Jenkins as the new city council member. The council unanimously approved that appointment. Olsen’ vote total was third in the city election. Larry Thomas, who retained his seat, and Tyrell Neal, who was elected, placed first and second. Bannock Street reconstruction project Kevin Harris of Forsgren Associates said they are waiting for final approval of the design, which is about five weeks out. After the Hazard Mitigation Plan meeting last week, Mayor Hawkins contacted Forsgren and indicated that there was possibly some grant funds available through FEMA that could go towards the storm water components of that project. They contacted FEMA and said that a grant is available. We are also applying for an LHTAC grant that would fund the side-

walks for the project, but would extend the sidewalks on both sides of Bannock Street to 500 West. They need letters of support, and the city plans to ask different agencies in the county to provide those letters. For the project, the storm water right now is released in the middle of the walking path. The council has discussed the possibility of moving that area to a property that the city owns north of the walking path. The grant for the Bannock Street Reconstruction will not cover that cost and the council had asked for a cost estimate. Kevin Harris provided that, which is $130 per foot, or $32,500. If the city is able to obtain the FEMA grant, that would cover this cost and the city’s match could be in-kind. Harris asked the council if they still wanted to pursue the option of moving the storm water drainage, and was told yes. If the city receives the grant, the cost will be covered, but if it doesn’t, the city will have to pay

that additional cost. This whole project is scheduled right now for 2024, but if the city can get approval of the design and it is ready, it could happen sooner. JUB Engineering JUB provided a report on several items currently in progress. The city was notified before the meeting that Rural Development has obtained the additional funding needed for the wastewater project. The council provided approval for the mayor to sign those documents in the November meeting, and she will be signing them sometime this week. Andrea Sheppard of JUB came down and looked at the drainage problem on 700 North. The mayor is meeting with Alan Giesbrecht of JUB and Tyler, our new superintendent, Thursday morning, and we are going to go over three options Andrea provided and decide which would work the best. The city is working with Brad Hess to provide approval of Phase II of the Field of Dreams

Subdivision. He is meeting with P&Z next Thursday and the council will address that issue in their January meeting. P&Z had nothing to report, other than they were meeting next Thursday. New Superintendent Tyler Webster Webster asked if the city had a city inspector, and was told that those duties fall under his purview. He wants to make sure everything that is built regarding infrastructure is to the city standard. He indicated that he is very pleased with the city employees - he feels very lucky to have such a great crew. He is working on a plan to keep track of the employees’ time. The city itself has been looking into a new system, but he has his own system that he feels works very well. Attorney’s Report Dustin Smith reported that he had prepared a new Water Preservation Ordinance that he sent out to the council after the November meeting. That Ordinance will be

approved in the January meeting. He is sending a letter to a local business to request an Application for a WasteWater Permit, and he has a letter to send to a local business with request to adhere to a city ordinance. Treasurer Terrill Schwartz provided a financial statement for the period ending November 30. He said the city is in a good financial position. The city will receive the first of its property tax monies from the county in January. Most of the city funds are invested in the State Treasurer Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP), but the city has accounts with both U.S. Bank and Ireland Bank. The council then adjourned, and then had their Christmas Party after the meeting at the Dude Ranch Cafe where we met with the council members, their spouses; members of the City Planning & Zoning and their spouses and members of the city crew and their spouses.

Beef School Held at Extension Office The Oneida County Extension Office provided the farmers and ranchers of Oneida County “Beef School” focusing on Winter Livestock Feeding. University of Idaho Extension Educators from various universities and southeastern Idaho counties gathered at the County Events Center Wednesday, December 8 to help farmers and ranchers as they prepare to feed their herds for upcoming winter months. Bracken Henderson from Franklin County started the lecture by providing information on nitrate testing. Nitrate accumulation in forages is caused by several factors such as drought, frost, unseasonable or prolonged cool temperatures, hail, shade, disease, high levels of soil nitrogen, or soil mineral deficiencies. When cattle graze on forages with toxic amounts of nitrate, they can suffer weights loss, reduced milk production, abortion and death. Testing forages allows farmers and ranchers to be sure that levels are safe for their cattle. University of Idaho Extension Offices have some nitrate “quick tests” to help producers test both what’s growing in the field or what has put up in the stackyard. The quick tests are able to test if there is a presence of nitrates and if so how much. For additional testing and more detailed results, samples can be passed on to university labs. Such information will help farmers and ranchers ensure that they are feeding their cattle forages with safe levels of nitrates. Justin Hutch from Caribou County showed other advantages of forage testing winter feeds. By testing the levels of various nutrients in forages, farmers and ranches can see what they C Y

might be lacking and supplements should be used. Collecting samples may seem cumbersome or time consuming but knowing the amount of dry matter, feed quality, feed value, protein content and other information can be valuable for making cattle feed decisions. He advised that farmers and ranchers test their forages each year near feeding time to know the nutrient content. Fortunately for producers in our region, the nutritional value of stored hay doesn’t significantly decrease from year to year. Benton Glaze discussed body condition scoring (BCS) in cattle and how it can be used to manage herd nutrition and health. BCS is a simple means of categorizing beef cattle by their degree of body energy reserves. Thin weak cattle receive low scores while heavier cattle receive high scores. Research and experience have taught that the most important factor influencing rebreeding pregnancy rate in beef cattle is body reserve at calving (Wettemen, 2003). Determining whether cattle have sufficient reserves is an important herd management practice. Cattle that have a higher BCS will have a higher pregnancy rate and higher immunoglobulin colostrum levels. Calves born to cows with high BCS have better vigor and will get

up more quickly after birth. Research is also finding that cattle with higher body reserves as an ovum develops will produce calves with better lactation, reproductive health and overall health. Scoring cattle is a simple visual process that takes in account muscle tone, bony structures and fat deposits. Several management practices can be used to increase BCS for cattle with low scores such as earlier weaning, reducing herd numbers, and increasing feed and supplements. Oneida County Extension Education Sawyer Fonnesbeck discussed the variety of feeds farmers and ranchers can use throughout the winter, especially in times when good hay can be difficult to find or too costly. Alternative feeds can include straw, grazing CRP land, grain, and protein or mineral supplements. It's important that while looking for alternative feeds that the nutritional value remains sufficient for the cattle’s needs. Throughout the winter cattle need good nutrition to improve their body con-

dition, meet the needs of a growing calf and have overall good health. Professor John Hall of the University of Idaho’s Salmon Research Center concluded the night by shedding insight on how to meet cattle’s nutritional needs during the winter months. Several factors, such as current body condition, environmental factors, and the point of the production, influence the energy requirements for cattle which in turn influences their feed requirements. Cattle need sufficient energy and protein intake at increasing levels

during the winter as they near the end of gestation, calving, lactating and preparation for the beginning of a new production cycle. Feed should include high amounts of protein to assist in microbial production and digestion to breakdown consumed feeds. It also needs to have high fat and other energy content to increase body reserves as well as have the right amounts of minerals and other micronutri-

ents. Feed should also be highly digestible so that it can quickly pass through the cow. Feed that takes increased time to be digested causes the cow to eat less by feeling fuller longer and reduces her overall nutritional intake. The presenters and their material will be a great asset to farmers and ranchers as they move into the winter months and try to keep their herds healthy and ready for a new year.

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2016) Last year’s Fireman of the year, Lynn Price, announced at the Firemen’s Banquet held just prior to the Firemen’s Ball on Saturday night, December 10, that Zack Blaisdell was voted by his fellow firemen as the 2016 Fireman of the Year. Firemen vote on the person in the department that has gone the extra mile during the year for the benefit of the department. Zack is secretary of the Malad Volunteer fire Department. “Zack is very dependable,” said Lynn. “Even though he works out of town, he goes to every incident that he can. He’s right on the spot. A few weeks ago, Zack had his shoulder operated on. When a truck caught on fire recently, there was Zack with his arm in a sling, but on the job! Zack has been a member of the department for five years and received a five-year service award this year. He was awarded a plaque as Fireman of the Year. Recently the Oneida County EMS generously donated a gurney to the Radiographic Science Program at Idaho State University. Trevor Ward, instructor of positioning labs, said the stretcher will help students be better prepared for real-world experience taking x-rays with the patient on a gurney simulating trauma and portable radiography. On Friday evening, the Malad Interfaith Council presented three showings of a live nativity on the front lawn of the Malad First Presbyterian Church. With a narration by Jack Harwell, three different scenes from the nativity were highlighted, the manger scene, the shepherds, and the wise men. A choir by the Catholic Church Youth Choir and members of the Malad Community chorus under the direction of Art Marteney and his daughter, Sarah, performed carols that corresponded with the narration and the scenes. 10 YEARS AGO (2011) During the Malad Volunteer Firemen’s annual banquet held on December 10, Todd Jones was presented the award as the Malad Fireman of the Year by Rob Hess, last year’s recipient. Ed Jones and Gary Shepherd were awarded plaques for their 30 years of service. Brad Hess was presented a trophy by Fire Chief Jerry Thomas commemorating his retirement after twenty-three years of service to the Malad Fire Department. Weston Atkinson has been called to serve two years in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ New Zealand, Wellington Mission. Weston will leave on December 28 to enter the Mission Training Center. After serving nine years on the Farm Service County Committee, Reed Stanley will retire as of December 31. Reed has also served as the chairman the last year. The past weekend at the Iron Door Playhouse, the Malad Theater Guild presented three evenings of a real Christmas treat, “A Christmas Pudding”.

The cast posed for a picture after their Saturday night performance. Players are Kathy Williams, Anneleise Atkinson, Carol Elcock, Nicole Jenkins, Tom Jenkins, Christy Jenkins, Steve Atkinson, Eric Crowther and Julie Thomas. 15 YEARS AGO (2006) A ferocious fast moving fire destroyed a barn and its contents at the Bryan Scott residence in Pleasantview. The cause is not known at this time. The barn was a total loss, as was everything inside, which also included a snowmobile, motorcycle, and miscellaneous farm equipment. PV2 Derek McKinney graduated in the Idaho National Guard, United States Army from Basic Combat Training at Fort Sills, Oklahoma. Derek graduated in the top 10 per cent of his class specializing in Field Artillery. Derek will leave for Advanced Individual Training in May after graduating from Malad High School. Malad High School’s football team had six players named to the All-State Football teams. These teams are selected by the coaches and media from throughout the state of Idaho. Dustin Larsen was named to the First team as an Offensive Lineman. Second team selections included Devin Plowman as a Defensive End, Wren Murray as a Running Back, Alex Lewis on the Defensive Line, TJ Hattaway as a Linebacker and Aaron Cosby as a punter. 25 YEARS AGO (1996) Malad’s Daisy Girl Scouts enjoyed a Christmas activity making Christmas cards to mail to the folks serving in the U.S. Military from Oneida County. Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise is PFC Scott Clark as he is presented an envelope full of Christmas cards from Kendra Allen. Erica Hansen and Shanlynn Briggs show off the cards they made. Members of the Malad Quilt Club realized the completion of their yearly service project as they traveled to Pocatello with thirteen homemade quilts to donate to Bannock House. Making the trip to Pocatello are Leora Brown, Raona Kesler, Melba Deschamps, Judy Jones, Sarah Stocks, Barbara Williams, Jean Showell, Glenna Illum and Dellcene Hughes. Ladies that worked on the quilts but were unable to make the trip are Martha Maag, Barbara Jones, Jeanine Jaussi, Marie Gleed, Carol Eliason, Janice Egbert, Joy Cornia, Athena Boel and Belva Lene Baker. 35 YEARS AGO (1986) Malad resident Alice Edwards was a three-time winner at the annual Idaho Cutting Horse Association Awards Banquet held recently at the Holiday Inn in Twin Falls. Alice found herself the owner of three “Billy Cook” cutting saddles all engraved with silver buckles and trim. Patricia Scott was the winner of the Lazar Tag Game Kit that she won when her name was drawn from the sack at the Valley Theater in the Co-

ca-Cola/Idaho Enterprise Coloring Book Drawing and Mindy Gilgen was the happy winner of the Coca-Cola Cabbage Patch Kid. The Sears Catalog Center is open and now serving customers at its new location on Bannock Street. Owners Thayne and Margaret Barker are happy to say that they moved into their new building over the weekend and opened their doors on Monday morning. The Board of Advisors for the Outstanding Young Men of America awards program announced today that Elbert Sweeten, Jr., and Craig Harold Thomas have been selected for inclusion in the 1965 edition of Outstanding Young Men of America. Pearl Jones was recognized Monday night at the Modern Woodman Christmas Party, for her outstanding service to the Malad Community. Not only has she taught Preschool and Kindergarten she is a member of and serves in the leadership of many organizations. 45 YEARS AGO (1976) About 650 Oneida youngsters lined Main Street Saturday waiting turns to tell Santa Claus their secret Christmas wishes. The Malad Chamber of Commerce had prepared 750 gift sacks filled with oranges, nuts and candy to give away to kiddies courageous enough to climb onto Santa’s ample lap. The Chamber is donating the remaining 100 sacks to the Future Farmers of America to distribute around the Valley. One of 23 students awarded a U.S. Navy scholarship at the University of Idaho is Joseph E. Thomas, Malad High graduate and son of Mr. and Mrs. William E. Thomas. A freshman, he is majoring in mechanical engineering. Dan Anderson, Oneida Hospital administrator, has announced the resignation of Zivko Zivkovic as lab technician at the hospital. Until a replacement is found, Lynn Goodenough will serve half days as technician. She received her training at Bannock Memorial Hospital and the University of Washington School of Medicine at Seattle. Oneida County Commissioners received a favorable ruling from the Sixth District Judge Francis J. Rasmussen

concerning the Arbon Valley Road. Arbon residents Joseph Jenson, Elmer Ward and David Bird had sought an order from the court requiring the Oneida Commissioners to keep open the Arbon Road in winter months from the Oneida-Power County line to Mr. Jenson’s residence, the last home on the road in Oneida. 55 YEARS AGO (1966) Miss Lois Kent, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Kent, was chosen as a winner at the Cooking Fair of the Associated Women, which was held on the Ricks College campus as Rexburg.

The Oneida School Board, at a meeting Thursday night, appropriated $200, which will be used to initiate a wrestling program for students of the Malad High School. Once a major sport at the Malad School, the program was discontinued in most Idaho high schools several years ago but is making a comeback because it is recognized as a healthful, bodybuilding sport. The program will be under the direction of Coach Walter Holmberg.

Emergency News from Santa Claus has just come into the office! While flying over the summit on a reconnaissance mission recently, St. Nick was jostled by a stronger than usual northwesterly wind. As a result, he lost a part of his Malad City map. The North Pole Communications Office has asked the Idaho Enterprise for help locating the chimneys in question. Below, you will find a set of pictures taken from Santa’s network of the chimneys in question. He would very much appreciate the effort if you were able to help track down the addresses that go along with them. The area in question is from S Main where it meets Jenkins to North Main at 1st West. As you look for these addresses, Santa reminds you to please be courteous—don’t block any roadways or park in driveways as you look, and be aware that homeowners don’t need any extra traffic in their own lives. GOOD CHIMNEY SCOUTING! The pictures will run in the December 9th and 16th editions of the paper. Entry forms need to be submitted by the end of business on December 20th, to The Idaho Enterprise Office and the winner (the person or persons with the most correct answers) will be notified on December 22nd, and listed in the December 23rd edition of the paper. If there are multiple fully correct entries, they will be entered into a random drawing to select the winner.
