Mayor Visits Elementary School On Monday, Mayor Joan Hawkins visited with Malad Elementary School’s third grade classes to talk about the concept of cities, state and local government, and civics. The visit was in conjunction with a book created by the League of Idaho Cities, titled Friend City. The book presents a story about the creation of a fictional city, and discusses the various components of its creation and the management necessary to operate it. The book tells the story of a girl named Emma and her friends, who decide to band together in order to create essential services, bring recreation to their area, manage their resources and waste, and provide
for medical care. While the premise potentially seems a bit dry, the book uses practical, child-level examples to demonstrate the interaction of services throughout various levels of tax-payer supported governmental districts. The book addresses needs relevant to the wide range of Idaho cities and counties. Oneida county is one of the smallest counties in Idaho by population, and has the further distinction of having essentially only one city (along with Camas— Fairfield, Clark—Dubois, and Butte—Arco, all of which also have additional towns of under 100 people). As Mayor Hawkins read through the book, she stopped to ask the
students about some of the city services mentioned throughout. “Do any of you like to go the park?” she asked, to a wide round of agreement. “What do you like to do at the park?” she asked. “Play in the splash pad!” was immediately shouted, which undoubtedly sounded good to the mayor’s ears, as the Splash Pad is the most recent high-profile City project, and one specifically devoted to improving the recreational outlets for local kids. The project, funded by local support and regional grants, opened at the end of last summer’s rec season to widespread joy among the youthful set. “What else?” May-

or Hawkins prompted. “The library is right by it!” another student shouted. “That’s right,” Hawkins said. “The library is another city and
county service.” Hawkins visited the classrooms of all three third grade classrooms—Mr. Grote’s and Mrs. Lamb’s class, as
well as Mrs. Williams’ former class, now being MAYOR VISITS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL On Page 3

Alice in Wonderland Enchants the Audience On Saturday, the week-long rehearsal and workshop process for the Missoula Children’s Theatre Production of Alice in Wonderland celebrated the end of its amazing time in town. The Missoula Children’s Theatre is an arts outreach and intensive drama experience for regional children interested in learning about theatre and acting. Over 50 local students from the Oneida County School District were involved in the production, which was a professionally costumed and directed experience that was delightfully well-produced, and actor-focused. The play itself is of course based on the nineteenth century Lewis Carroll novel, though
the stageplay, adapted by David Simmons, modernizes some elements to be more responsive to the child actors, and incorporates more modern song components. Throughout the play, all of the actors involved were able to demonstrate their facility with singing, physical acting, and line memorization. The actors, ranging from kindergarten to fifth grades, had all been through an intense week of rehearsals. Auditions for the over 50 available parts were held at the Malad Elementary School auditorium on Monday after school. The auditions themselves involved acting, dance and singing elements. The students selected for parts in the production spent
Monday through Friday learning their parts and rehearsing for up to four hour a day over the course of the week. On Saturday, the play went live to the public, with full costumes, lights, and sound, at 3:00 and 5:30. The play utilized a number of interesting staging elements to accommodate the large cast. Alice, for instance, was portrayed by three different actors—Madelyn Gonzalez, Rose Butler, and Denette Layton—who took turns as Alice during her numerous size changes. The actor changes were accomplished by means of a sliding stage door and a flash of “lightning”. If on a few occasions the student assistant directors were faster than the actors in
changing out the scene, the actors and the audience took in with good humor, which added to the overall fun of the performance. The Cheshire cat was also portrayed by a variety of actors—Aleah Seamons, Dane Williams, and Tyker Hamilton (who also served as Assistant Directors during the week)—who wthemselves at different positions behind the curtain to replicate the cat’s transient nature. Some of the actors were exuberant and seemed to delight in their time on stage, while others were a bit more reserved, as one might expect, though all did a fantastic job of bringing the play to life. The marquee players— the various Alices, Margaret, the Mad Hatter,
Tweedle Dum (Heber Johnson) confers with Tweedle Dee (Jaylee Johnson)
the King and Queen of Hearts, and the Caterpillar Head—carried the show with a great deal of aplomb, and the multiple troops of actors filling out the group roles kept things moving along well and entertainingly. Throughout the play, director Dorothy Jo Oberfoell took on the role of the White Rabbit, who stood in both as a character within the play’s plotting, as well as an onstage manager for any forgotten lines,
or on the spot directing cues. In a few places, Oberfoell was able to subtly encourage line readings, or ask for a louder read, though generally the actors were on point. The arrangement allowed for a sense of comfort for the actors, many of whom were appearing on stage for their first times. As a result of the week’s worth of reALICE IN WONDERLAND ENCHANTS THE AUDIENCE On Page 2

hearsals, the actors generally seemed confident and clear on the performance demands placed upon them. During the auditions, the directors asked for actors with clear and strong voices, and those involved projected well to the back of the auditorium, with only a couple of stage microphones to help. After the first performance, the actors took a brief break for lunch, then returned for a bravura second performance. The Missoula Children’s Theatre is focused on bringing the experience of a fully produced play into the lives of the children recruited to play the roles, as well as giving the directors a chance to hone their skills at organizing and producing a play with so many moving and disparate parts.

taught by the Principal Sarah McIntyre. In each of the classes, the first portion of the book that peaked the classes interest was the mention of the sewer system. “Do you know what sewer water is?” Hawkins asked, to a predictable round of nose holding, and various descriptions of the water’s color and texture. The book explains that the sewer water in cities is generally repurposed as a result of water treatment to various purposes, including city park watering and other uses. The city has recently undertaken a new wastewater treat-
ment project that will in fact be doing exactly that—repurposing water for agricultural watering use. The second portion of the book that kids had a lot of input on was the question about what animals they would most like to see at the zoo. While Malad City is probably not in an immediate position to construct and maintain a zoo, if it ever did hippos, elephants, pandas, and ‘deadly snakes’ would certainly be very popular! Zoos generally have a complex funding mechanism, involving private bequests, admission fees, merchandising, tax districts, and various layers of public
and institutional funding, and even then they often suffer serious financial strain. While zoos may be a bridge too far, the mayor did make a point to discuss the many things around the valley that the city and county do provide. “We have our parks, and libraries, and streets to ride bikes on, and all kinds of places to go. And for all the stuff we do have, it’s important to know that if you parents own a home in the city, or rent a home here in the city, some of the money to pay for that goes into taxes. A
lot of what we have here in Malad gets paid for partly by taxes. So that makes it our stuff. And that’s why it’s important to take care of it, and keep it nice for everyone.” The final question the mayor asked was about what the students wanted to do when they were older. Most of them took the opportunity to talk about what their parents did. “My dad makes the power come on!” “My dad fixes cars!” “My mom helps people buy houses!” Among the rest, some wanted to become doctors, teach-

ers, mechanics, and a number of other things. “Those are all jobs that help the city and the county,” Hawkins said. “You are all going to be our future leaders, and we need you to learn as much as you can here in school!” Due to time constraints, there was only a brief amount of time for students to ask questions afterward, though hands were raised during virtually the entire visit.
Luckily, the workbook that accompanied the reading allows teachers to lead a discussion over the same materials and give kids a chance to chime in. The League of Idaho Cities is also sponsoring a contest, where completed worksheets can be submitted to a statewide drawing for classroom money. The contest will be taking submissions until the end of February.

DIRECTORS CORNER
Directors Dorothy Jo Oberfoell and James Buhse ready the troops for Saturday’s performance
During a busy performance weekend, Missoula Children’s Theatre directors Dorothy Jo Oberfoell and James Buhse took some time to answer a few questions about this weekend’s play, the experience, and the overall purpose of the MCT projects. What are some of the most positive aspects of the program for you both, and the kids? We think the most positive elements of the MCT program for the kids and ourselves is that we get to come into the community with no previous knowledge about the kids and cast them to be in the show. This may be a brand new experience for them in every aspect, or they may have some experience performing. Regardless, we believe in them and encourage them in the roles we have given them, and do our best to help them succeed in the short amount of time we have to work together. It is incredible to see them rise to the occasion and blossom with confidence throughout the week and through each performance. We truly believe that if the students can work with us to put the show together in a week that they can do anything. What are some of the benefits of learning Acting? Learning about Acting can provide many skills that are used throughout life. James and I talked about this in the workshops we presented to all of the elementary school classes this week. Concentration, memorization, observation, imagination, cooperation, thinking fast, and saying "yes, and..." to a new idea are just a few of the many skills acting can add to a person's life. They also learn about being responsible for themselves and their belongings, speaking confidently, how to be more empathetic to
others, and how to be silly and have fun. What are the most difficult aspects of a project like this? The most difficult element of putting together the show in our limited schedule is that we only get to work with the students for short amounts of time. We would love to spend more hours working with each group of students, but this schedule allows us to teach things quickly and efficiently and requires the students to be focused in rehearsal, even after a long day of school. We keep things moving each rehearsal and it's amazing to see how quickly the students will learn and retain information we teach them in that time. How do events like this benefit a community like Malad? We think that bringing events like Alice in Wonderland to communities like Malad brings art to the community in a new way and to a new age group that may not get similar experiences otherwise. Having a change of pace in the school day with workshops and rehearsals can be very exciting throughout the year and build confidence in the students. Teachers, families and peers have the opportunity to see the students succeed in a new way on stage, which can encourage them to be more confident in all aspects of their life going forward. MCT's mission is "The development of life skills in children through participation in the performing arts" for all of the teams it sends to communities for the past 50 years. We think that bringing art to small, rural communities is an amazing opportunity for everyone to broaden their horizons about beyond what they know. Even with Alice in Wonderland, so many students did not know the
story before we arrived, so they watched the various movies throughout the week and some may even check out the book in the future. They are now excited to learn about a new story and it may inspire their creativity in other aspects as well. What would you like the actors’ parents to know about their kids? We think their kids are incredible for wanting to do something completely new, auditioning (not an easy job coming from professionals!), and for students with the limited interaction with the performing arts, they showed wonderful interest and beautiful creativity. Even if they are not interested in being on stage again in the future, they should be proud of what they accomplished with this show and no one can take that away from them. We hope they continue to explore their creativity! What about Alice in Wonderland specifically do you think works well for kids? Alice in Wonderland offers a variety of roles for students to be creative and explore different interactions with. The characters are not "cookie-cutter" in any way so each time is a new experience with the character in the role. Alice in Wonderland encourages confidence, playfulness, curiosity, and teamwork. The message itself speaks volumes to how kids should keep trying in the face of adversity and new circumstances, because you never know what you can accomplish or who you can meet, and how fulfilling it can be. More information about the directors and the Missoula Children’s Theatre can be found at the official website as well. https:// mctinc.org/ Thank you to Oberfoell and Buhse for taking some time to speak with us during a very busy week.

January has been a month of reading! Many of the classes set reading goals for themselves. The first and second graders have started a new program to help with their reading. They get to bring home a new book every night, read it, and return it the next day for a new book. When they have read twelve books and filled up their reading chart, they are able to choose from the treasure chest in Miss McIntyre’s office. This program is being monitored by Mrs. Susan Clark. The Missoula Children’s Theater came to Malad Elementary the last week of the month. They had the students audition for parts and they spent the week in intensive rehearsals after school so they could perform for the public on Saturday, Jan. 29. It was fun and exciting for the students, and they did an excellent job. Every class in the school got to participate in a performing arts workshop one day during the week. It was an exciting time for everyone. This opportunity was brought to us by the Malad Elementary Parent/Teacher Organization, Hess Pumice and the Oxford Peaks Arts Council. The kindergarten students’ goal was to write all the numbers from 0-20. Those hard-working students that accomplished this goal are Morgan Blaisdell, Alivia Seamons, Elle Evanson, Izrael Perez, John Leavitt, Saske Hachmeister, Vivienne Atkinson, Adilynn Clark, Piper Reel, Daved Peterson, Johan Profazier, Ryken Dworshak, Kallie Munns, Macie Bennett, Trig Thomas, Cam Coleman, Lila Crowther, Liberty Charles, Lynk Anderson, Mason Tullis, Kempton Daniels, Phoebe Firth, Jacob Palmer, Kallie Nimer, Kollyns Beutler, Ridge Berry, Gunner Clark, Baylor Adams, Emma Price, Wilford Deschamps, Weston Evans, Hunter Clark, Prezli Ball, Brianna Williams, and Beckham Jones.

City Planning and Zoning Board Meets; elects new officers New Chair elected The City Planning and Zoning Board began their meeting by electing new officers for the 2022 year. Shelly Williams was nominated and unanimously elected to serve as the Chairman. She elected to serve as her own secretary for the present, though one might be elected and appointed in the future. City Council member Jaime Olsen was on hand to help with the new organization of the Board. The minutes for December were approved. Cedar Ridge Development Bryce Gooden approached the Board about the next phase of the Cedar Ridge Development. The PLAT had been submitted for
review. The next phase involves four additional fourplexes. One question raised was about the required 10% of development space which should be given over to Common Area land. The developers indicated that plans for a park in the development down the road would account for more than 10% when completed. The second phase of the project will have a similar footprint to the first phase of the project. Since public postings were not made ahead of this meeting for a public hearing, this presentation constituted an advisory hearing to apprise the Board of the developer’s intentions. The developer intends to create a buffer between the development itself and the Fairgrounds.
The Board indicated that without a more complete plan about the amount of open and common space, they were not in a position to determine whether the plan met the requirements. The developer said he was willing to change the boundaries of the current phase’s plan to ensure 10% was accounted for. A park area for the development was being planned for the south end of the development as a part of the completed project. The board requested a more complete plan for the entire development for next month’s meeting. As there was no action item, the board elected to move on until after a public hearing had been held on the phase 2 PLAT.
Rezoning South End of Simpson Property Jared Simpson is requesting that 18 acres of his land south of town across from the Industrial Park be rezoned from Residential to Industrial. This matter will also be the subject of a public hearing before any decisions can be made, and ultimately require the approval of the City Council. A public hearing on the issue will be held on the 17th of February. Ryan Summers Developer Ryan Summers spoke to the Board about a plan to develop 3 acres, with several lots, behind the high school east of Birch. He would like to create some of the lots as flag lots, as well as potentially twin homes at the
front of the flag lot area. Some uncertainty about the current status of twin homes within the city’s development code was expressed. The issue of fire truck access to a “flag lots” property was discussed. Flag lots are homes with a single long driveway access point to the residences. The resulting shape on a map resembles a flag. The issue of whether the development might be a subdivision was also raised, as well as whether subdivided units were permitted on flag lots. The board felt that it needed to speak with the city attorney and the building inspector to clarify what the parameters for twin home construction in a situation like this would be. The definition of “subdivi-
sion” under the current code was at the heart of the discussion, as well as the status of twin homes. Twin homes— are common residential building types in many cities, though there is only one existing model in Malad as a reference, and as a result no existing city code to cover them. A motion was made and approved to have the Chairman speak with Dustin Smith before any decisions were made. The issue was put on the agenda for next month’s meeting. Summers indicated that he would provide a more complete plan to the Board to supplement the discussion with the city attorney. The meeting was then adjourned.

Ag For the Winter By Allison Eliason Farmers and ranchers live by the saying, “Make hay while the sun is shining,” in essence do what you can when the conditions allow. Farming and ranching in Idaho during the winter time might seem like there isn’t a lot producers can do because, even though the sun may be shining, the snowy, cold conditions won’t allow for any type of work in the field. But such an assumption couldn’t be farther from the truth. With differing operations, commodities and overall needs, farming and ranching operations look very different throughout the year, including the winter season. But one thing that looks the same across them all is that there is

always some work to be done. That work can include analyzing the past year’s production, looking to see what worked for the previous crop, what was productive and where changes should be made. Improvements in technology have allowed farmers to get a more detailed, in depth look at their harvest each year. Not only can they calculate their overall yield as they did in the past, but they can measure productivity as they analyze the quality of their crops, map the production of individual fields, or sample and test soil for conditions. Data collected throughout the year will in turn shape the upcoming growing year as producers begin planning crops to plant, field rotations,
irrigation needs, fertilizing schedules and pest control tactics. It's been said that you can’t improve what you don’t measure. Off season plans from analyzed records and measurements is an important part of successful in season harvests. While all farmers work to get their crops in before the weather turns, not all will immediately sell or haul out their harvest. Depending on the differing commodities and contracts, many farms must store their hard earned yields. They may wait until the receiving facilities have room enough for their products. Others might watch market prices to sell and deliver when they feel the price is right. Regardless of the why, the winter months
can be the time that many producers spend hauling their harvests from their farms. With the slow down of work in the fields, farmers often put their equipment to other uses. As time allows, their semis, trailers, haulers and various equipment are often used for additional income for their operations. If equipment isn’t being put to work, the winter months offer a great opportunity for farmers to prepare it for the upcoming year. To work at peak performance with as little down time as possible for repairs, farm machinery should be well maintained. Recently, farmers have seen that new parts can be scarce or even unavailable, and that what they can order might take significant time in arriv-
ing. Ensuring that their equipment is running well, with parts on hand early in the year will help harvests later in the year be more productive. The winter months provide a timely opportunity for farmers to gather important bookwork and tax information, a necessity for any business. With ever changing tax regulations and codes, preparing taxes can be time consuming and cumbersome. Mother Nature provides just the time producers need to get the tax work done. Winter also provides opportunities for farmers to continue learning. Various schools and instruction are available through the off season for farmers to improve their businesses and farming practices as well as to
find new resources and connections. Farmers also use the time to keep licensed and certified to use various chemical applications for fertilizer and pest control. It’s true that the winter months can force farmers to park their trucks and tractors until the fields are ready to be worked again. And while farmers would like to take the time to simply rest and recreate, farming demands work all year round. Whether it is in the office doing book work, in meetings planning for the upcoming year, in the classroom learning how to improve their operations, or in the shop maintaining their equipment, producers are constantly working to ensure a product they can be proud to sell and consumers will be proud to buy.

LOOKING BACK
5 YEARS AGO (2017) On Saturday, January 21, 150 anglers braved the snowy roads to compete in the 11th annual Big Dog Ice Fishing Derby at Devil Creek reservoir. Over $7000 in cash and prizes were given out to the lucky anglers who were able to catch the longest fish. Prize money and trophies are awarded to the contestants who catch the four longest fish of the event. Cash prizes are also paid to the largest fish caught each hour. This years winners and the length of their fish were: Bridget Garrett, 20.25 inches; Denny Hill, 18.75 inches; Shawn Warren, 18.25 inches and Jeff Smith, 17.75 inches. The Big Dog Derby is one of the few ice fishing tournaments in Idaho. Bringing 150 contestants and their families to Malad is a boost to the economy after the busy holiday season. Jessica Jones, former Malad resident, is the Vice President of People and Brand for Clearlink, a marketing company located in Salt Lake City, Utah. A graduate of Malad High School, Jessica went on to attend college at Utah State University. Interested in the health and fitness arena, Jessica started a path in that field and realized after several years that fitness was a personal passion but business management was her professional passion. She stared work as a human resources assistant, and decided to go back to school and received a master's degree in business Administration from the University of Utah. Jessica was recruited to manage talent acquisition at Clearlink in 2011, which became an important move in furthering her career. Clearlink partners with the world's leading brands to increase their reach, drive and fulfill valuable transactions and deepen insight into consumer behavior. Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah and established in 2003, Clearlink employs more than 1,500 local sales, technology and marketing professionals. Jessica was named by Utah Business magazine as one of the "Thirty Women to Watch". The magazine describes these thir-
ty women as "dynamic, influential leaders shaking up Utah's business scene." 10 YEARS AGO (2012) Oneida County Commissioners nominated Regene Jones to be a member of the Eastern Idaho State Fair Board of Directors. As far as she knows, Jones will be representing Oneida, Power, Cassia, Franklin, Bear Lake and Caribou counties. Part of the curriculum for the Malad sixth graders in Tracy Ward’s class is art. She has chosen every Tuesday as “arts day”. As dancing is an art, she is having her sixth graders learn line dancing from someone who is young at heart! Charlene Jones doesn’t remember a time she didn’t dance. She is full of energy and indicates that she doesn’t feel her age. Charlene started line dancing when she joined the Boot Scooters in about 1985. The Malad High School Junior Varsity girls’ basketball team finished their season with a 13 -5 record. This team included Karsyn Willie, Saige Smith, Dani Briggs, Paige Robbins, Hunter Hubbard, Maddie Ogden and Taylar Williams. Participating in the FFA 212/360 Leadership Conference last week were: Karessa Love, Samantha Daniels, Maddie Ogden, Michael Gallegos, Trent Kotter, Natalie Felter, Shannon Williams, Carrie Christiansen, Azure Eddy, Hunter Clark and Eric Eliason. 15 YEARS AGO (2007) Upon consideration of a letter, read into the record from Dye Nally, Superintendent of the Idaho State Liquor Dispensary, County Commissioners Joe Daniels and Gerald Goodenough appeared favorable toward relaxing a law that currently prohibits local businesses from selling table wine. They decided to wait until their February 12 meeting, however, to give Commissioner Dallan Nalder opportunity to offer his views on the matter. Nalder was in Washington, D.C., during the January 23 Commissioners’ Meeting. January 11 saw the Oneida County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue hold its annual banquet where new officers were installed for 2007. Nick Gugelman was sworn in as Commander. He will be assisted by first Vice Commander Tom Williams, second Vice Commander Jed Ward
Grandparents Only
and Quartermaster/ Treasurer Sharon Hess. Four members of the unit who are retiring are Frank Madsen, Terrell Jones and Don Eliason who have served for 30 years, and Grant Weeks for 18 years. New members of the Deputies Organization are Lynn Schow, Dan Williams and Joe Thomas. 25 YEARS AGO (1997) Tyra D. Burnett achieved the Dean’s List in the college of Arts and Sciences for the Fall Semester 1996 at Idaho State University. Loyd Briggs has been made a senior vice president at Ireland Bank’s Malad Office. Loyd was hired 25 years ago as a management trainee, and he now serves as a member of the bank’s senior loan committee. Malad’s Lady Dragon basketball team increased its conference record to 3-1 with a win over Aberdeen on January 23 on the Tigers’ home court. It was a great effort as the Dragons held Aberdeen to just 14 points in the first three periods.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING 1/24; CONT'D 1/28
As a result of both Commissioner Eliason and Commissioner Lewis being under quarantine for COVID, Monday’s meeting was held partly through Zoom. In addition, the Commission completed a number of the items from the agenda on Friday morning at 8:00am. Swimming Pool Manager The commission was approached about the need to hire a new swimming pool manager, as a result o an employee being called on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Permission was sought to advertise for a manager’s position at the pool. The Commission inquired about the number of ads that would be required, and the location of the ads. The Swimming Pool management requested to advertise as long as was needed until the position was filled, with The Enterprise, Facebook, and other outlets as needed. A motion to approve the advertising was approved. Simulcast Horse Racing License A request to provide a simulcast license to the former Les Bois Park in Boise for racing simulcasts was presented. The simulcast requires a license from a track which hosts live races. Leasing the license to Midnight Racing comes with a 1% of gross receipts return. An estimated $4 million dollars in the projected handle would amount to $40,000 to the county for the transfer of its simulcast license. There are currently only a few active simulcast racing licenses in the state. The lease was requested for a 10 year time period. The simulcast license in Oneida county is reported to have been dormant for nearly 20 years. There are not any current plans to activate the license for simulcast in the county. The money would partly be routed to make small track improvements, as well as other destinations. The former Les Bois park stopped live racing in 2015, which added considerable revenue to the state racing fund. The argument was made that reinvigorating racing throughout the state as much as possible would be beneficial to the county, without any perceivable drawbacks. Cody Brower asked for a formal document to review with regard to the contract. He mentioned issues of liability, circumstances of re-acquiring the license in the contingency of the license going inactive, and other contractual details. He suggested that the county didn’t actually have a license at the moment, but rather had the ability to apply for one, which Ada County could then pursue obtaining. Brower indicated that the license needed to be applied for every year in order to maintain the simulcast license for Ada county. Failing to renew the license in Oneida County would obviate the validity of the license in the county it had been leased to. A motion to apply for a license for simulcast racing in Oneida county was made and approved. Williams’s PLAT The developer apC Y

proached the Commission about approval for the Final PLAT of the Williams subdivision. The requirements for Final PLAT approval were recounted including the road and fencing issues, which had been signed off by the Road Department. Williams was seeking the Commissioners signatures to proceed. The Commissioners deferred to Building Inspector Mick Udy and the Planning and Zoning Board’s recommendations as the whether the development deserved approval. A few of the right of way particulars related to the easements from the frontage and within the subdivision were discussed as final issues. The Commission decided to tentatively approve the PLAT on the contingency that the escrow account was put in place, and sign the documents at the Friday meeting. This ultimately had to be delayed, due to unforeseen circumstances. The PLAT finalization was moved until the next meeting. TV Translator Board Members Harry Sherman, Chair of the TV Translator Board addressed the Commission to discuss the status of the Board. Sherman reported that most of the members of the board were in place, with the exception of a member from the Holbrook area. Currently, there are 4 members of the board, which ultimately requires 5. Ken Eliason has been in contact with a potential member, but has not received a firm response. The current members are Mike Asay, Doyle Waldron, Randy Thomas, and Harry Sherman. The terms of service for the four were discussed. Since the members are essentially new to the board, each of them has an expectation of a three year term, though the Commission is interested in staggering the terms in order to create a more fluid turnover within the board. Sherman suggested that he would be providing information about the function and scope of the Translator board through The Enterprise, which might increase interest and aid recruitment for the board. The state outlines monthly meetings, though they are not mandated to be in person. Sherman plans to host in-person meetings on a quarterly basis, and teleconference meetings during the other months. This week’s meeting will celebrate the tenure and accomplishments of Norm Jaussi, long time member. SHSP 2021 The Idaho Office of Emergency Management awarded $18,984.08 in SHSP funds for the 2021 grant. A motion to approve the grant was put forward and carried. Tax Cancelation Request Kathleen Atkinson from the Assessor’s office approached the Commission about a re-appraisal that affected a tax claim. As a result, a tax cancellation of $276.13 dollars was required. The determination was to credit the amount against the second half of the year’s taxes on the property. District 5 Meeting The Commissioners agreed to attend the District 5 meeting in Boise on
February 1st. Panic Button System Dallas Jones from the Sheriff’s Department spoke with the commission to update them on the camera/security/panic button issue discussed at a previous meeting. A number of companies have been contacted about providing services to the county for a panic alarm system for the courthouse, annex, probation, and the Event Center. A total of 23 buttons were originally involved—which also includes the Crisis Center, the Library, City Hall and others. The cost for the current units would be $20,000 to remain with the same company. The original installation was paid for through a grant. In the current situation, the purchase will not be grant funded. The county specifically is considering 18 panic buttons, which exclusively cover the county owned buildings (excluding City Hall, the Library, and the Crisis Center). The 18 buttons involved in this case would have a price tag of between $3,000 and $4,000 dollars through a new bid. The system is anticipated to have a life of roughly 5 years, and replacement would not be covered by a service warranty. The previous contract discussed was with M2, which does offer a service contract and rents, rather than sells, the equipment. The bid for M2 was approximately $1,800 dollars a year. The Sheriff’s Office was especially concerned about making sure that whichever company was selected, the Crisis Center be added in to the panic button system under the contract. While the current panic buttons are still working, the system is outdated, and no longer under warranty. Commissioner Eliason raised the possibility of searching for a grant to cover the costs. Otherwise, the funding will be drawn from the contingency fund. Chairman Lewis requested an inventory of the current buttons, and which ones were active and functional. This would also allow each department to determine what a sufficient number of buttons withing their department would be. Chairman Lewis felt that a clarification about the status of the current system and future needs was essential to moving forward. 911 System The current E-911 system was purchased on a grant for over $200K in 2019 and has experienced a number of issues ever since. The need for a new system, or an effective fix for the current system, was deemed to be urgent. Probation Gabe Jimenez spoke to the commission on his recent report. There are currently 5 felons and 1 misdemeanor individuals in drug court. Drug court is a “problem solving court”. Drug testing and updates are handled by the probation office during the week, though Thursday’s official meetings with individuals are handled by Felony P and P. County Property Overlap The county’s property description overlaps with private property descriptions in several areas of the county, including near
the old St. John’s church area. In this case, the overlap is primarily on the corner sections of maintained county roads. The county generally has a 60” easement on its roads, to allow for access to plowing and other maintenance needs. The Road department felt that quit-claiming the overlapping section to private landowners who would be willing to fence the property would be the most reasonable solution. A discussion was had over the exact acreage involved, which was believed to be between a half and less than a full acre on the corners in questions, which would be reduced by the easement. The Commission did not feel that at present it had enough information to make a decision on the question, and requested a more complete survey of the property involved. Cherry Creek Development William Porter addressed the Commission on behalf of the Cherry Creek Development. JUB Engineering had completed the final review of the PLAT for the Cherry Creek development. Fencing was one of the final elements of the PLAT to be verified. Road issues related to the future Phase two element of the construction were also discussed. All of the roads in question were being constructed to the current county standards. Building Inspector Mick Udy felt that the development was suitable for county approvement under its current status. Porter asked the Commissioners to approve the PLAT map, and to subsequently approve the subdivision agreement during a future meeting. The motion to approve the PLAT map for the Cherry Creek Subdivision, which was approved. A decision to consider the subdivision agreement at a future meeting was also made for the next meeting. Public Hearing A public hearing concerning the vacation of a small right of way on the abandoned Highway 191 south of Malad was motioned, and approved. Prosecutor Report Attorney Brower explained that criminal prosecutions were down recently, but that civil matters were occupying the balance of the time. Two felony July trials are scheduled for the beginning of next month. Given that Oneida county’s current COVID numbers are significantly over the allowable limit for jury trials, Brower predicted that those trials would likely be rescheduled closer to the summer. The summer is also the time the courthouse will be undergoing remodeling and the trial docket will be managed at the Event Center. Contractor Office for City Wastewater Project While the contractor for the City Wastewater Project is in town, for a period of potentially two or so years, they are occupying a space on county property near the Fairgrounds. The County is interested in ensuring that the contractor has documented a commitment to signing a liability agreement with the county in the event of any hazards or issues that might arise. The county clarified that they

have not formally signed or approved the arrangement with Whitaker Contractors yet. A motion to accept an arrangement on the contingency that the contractor signed formal documents laying out the liability agreement was made and carried. Industrial Park Road Gift to the City During the most recent City Council meeting, the county offered the Industrial Park road’s ownership to the city, which accepted the offer. On the advice of Cody Brower, a resolution was discussed to “dedicate” the easement to the city, along with a documented description of the property in question. A motion was made to formally draft a resolution dedicating the Industrial Park road to the city and carried. Cody Brower planned to work with Road and Bridge and the Assessor to create the language for the resolution. Personnel Policy Change for Work on Holidays Brower discussed the need for all new employee hires to be familiar with personnel policies as a matter of hiring. Lon Colton explained that such a practice is a part of the standard employment process. One policy in question was the issue of holiday hours. The current policy regulates the pat scale arrangment for fulltime employees who work on holidays. Brower suggested a simpler system where any employee working approved shifts during holidays automatically be paid time and a half, rather than a mix of comp time and emergency hour designations. He further held that the policy of the county should generally explain that holidays were not intended as work days for county employees. At the heart of the issue was a desire to eliminate the trade-days mechanism. A decision was made to attempt to formulate specific language surrounding the policy issues involved before making any changes. The Commissioners planned to move forward with the discussion after laying out a clear, written version of potential changes to the holiday pay schedule. Cell Phone and Credit Card Policies The Cell phone policy outlined in 2018 was discussed as a basis for examining potential changes. This policy, currently in effect, replaces all previous cell phone policies for use and compensation. Copies of the policy were distributed to the
commissioners, who were instructed to study the regulations and be ready to discuss changes during the next meeting. Similarly, the current policy regarding credit card usage by departments within the county was also distributed, along with suggestions for potential changes. The original purpose of the credit cards in 2010 was for travel expenses, though the scope of their usage has greatly expanded since that time. The various pros and cons of using cards to centralize expense itemization were discussed. This commissioners were also advised to study the current policy for a more complete discussion at a later meeting. UP Land on Depot Road The Road department spoke to the commission about Depot road, and its status with regard to Union Pacific. The Road Department is interested in straightening the road to prevent slide-offs and other issues during the winter months. It was reported that UP had not yet spoken directly with the Road department, but rather wanted to speak with the County Commissioners themselves before making any decisions about the road. Commissioner Bob Christophersen was tasked with investigating the legal status of the property in question with the Assessor’s office. Any construction on the road would not be scheduled until after the city’s adjacent Bannock Street projects were completed, sometime after 2024. A motion was made to begin exploring the legal status of the property and contact the railroad, which was carried. 6 month review of Road Supervisor Commissioner Christophersen reported positively as a report on Diana Dredge’s six month review. She was hired into the position of Road and Bridge director during the summer, and will complete her sixth month in February. Her performance was praised by the commission, and she was given a raise. Approval of Commissioner District The decision made in a previous commission meeting to change to boundaries of the commissioner districts slightly was determined to be in need of an official resolution, which was made and carried. The districts were realigned in order to bring the population numbers into closer aligment with one another.

Leroyce Elnora Millward January 26, 2022
Leroyce Elnora Millward, 85, passed away peacefully on January 26, 2022, at Red Cliffs Health and Rehab in St. George, Utah. Leroyce was born in Amarillo, Texas, to Rupert and Opal Terry. Leroyce and her family relocated to Oregon when she was in grade school. Throughout her adult life, Leroyce lived in Idaho, Utah, Arizona, and in 2008, settled in Washington, Utah. Leroyce had her first-born son when she married her husband, Delmer Lawrance Gugelman. Together they had 3 other children. They later divorced, and she met and married the love of her life, Gordon Millward, June 1, 1971, in Jackson, Wyoming. Leroyce worked various jobs throughout her life, but being a stepon tour guide for Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, and Kolob Canyon was her favorite. For several years, she and her husband Gordon belonged to Good Sam Camping Club, which they thoroughly enjoyed meeting up with the other members for camping trips and camp dinners at many different camp grounds throughout Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah. She loved everything crafts. Everyone close to her knew she had multiple projects she was working on at any given time. Even though she stayed busy with her many hobbies, she always made time for her family, which was most important to her.

TV Translator Board Looks to Future; Norm Jaussi Announces Retirement Last Thursday’s meeting of the TV Translator board was both the end of one era as well as the beginning of another. Norman Jaussi, longtime Translator Board member, advocate, technical magician, and spokesperson, announced he was semi-officially retiring. After four and a half decades of close involvement in the broadcast space over the valley, Norm is finally ready to turn the reins over to the incoming board, as well as Becky Blaisdell, and the technical expertise of his son William. “Now listen, this guy is irreplaceable. The amount of skill and knowledge that he and his son have is just completely amazing—that’s why we’re glad William is going to stick around,” newly elected chairman of the Translator Board Harry Sherman said. “I feel like we have a great group of people here, and we’re going to carry on and make these guys proud. But I gotta say again, these guys have really been just something else over all these years.” As Jaussi explains it, there was no broadcast television in Malad to speak of in the mid 1970s. “You could get a couple of snowy channels from Utah. We— that’s Marvin Hess and I—were asked by the commissioners at the time to look into bringing TV into the valley. Good signals with clear channels. At the time, I was the only one in the county with an active FCC license. With very little money, Marvin and I went around to every mountain top in the area to try to find a signal from Idaho Falls. Eventually we found one on the east mountain above Cherry Creek, and that ‘s where we eventually C Y

started up channels 3 and 8.” After wrangling with state and federal bureaucracy, the first obvious problem was a lease on the property to install the equipment. “Our big problem was that we had no money, of course. We were able to get a lease on the property for ten years. And Marvin and I donated our time and work on the thing, and a bunch of other people donated supplies and equipment. Utah Power and Light sold and installed the antennas to us, and we had a start.” Over the years, Jaussi and others have had to perform some extreme feats of engineering, such as figuring out a way to bring the signals for some broadcasts into the valley using rebroadcast antennae. In order to bring some channels to Malad, for instance, it was necessary to build a repeater in a field in Holbrook, broadcast it to the top of the divide, and then into the valley. Beyond that, replacement supplies for existing equipment are constantly in short supply. Many of the replacement parts are either no longer manufactured, or command high custom manufacturing fees. The production plants for much of the equipment infrastructure are now owned by foreign companies, which means that replacement parts often had to be purchased on the secondary market or custom made at a much higher cost. In addition to the physical obstacles, regulations related to media communications change frequently, requiring constant engagement with federal regulators. “We’re so glad we’ve had Norm here to tangle with feds,” Harry Sherman laughed. Initially, homeowners
were charged $10 dollars a year to underwrite TV broadcasts into the valley. By 2022, the fee has only risen to $30 dollars a year. Over the years, the channel lineup has greatly expanded, from two channels to 54. The necessary changes in equipment and support services to switch frequencies to different ranges has been an ongoing concern of the board. The switch to digital broadcast signals in the 2000s constituted another major event, which required re-engineering almost all the elements of the broadcast setup. “We had to take all the equipment and basically rebuild it. We’re still using a lot of it,” Jaussi said. Cable and streaming services occupy a lot of the in-home media real estate of 21st century homes, but over the air broadcast television still fills a vital role, especially in small communities. Streaming services, for instance, rarely broadcast local news or event coverage. “Digital TV is still better than cable signals,” Jaussi said. “It’s uncompressed and looks great.” Locating the local TV offerings on most modern TVs can be accomplished by changing the “Input” setting to “TV” and “Scanning for Channels.” Many TVs have built-in antennas, but small over the air broadcast antennae can also be purchased for around

$20 at most big box stores. Currently, there are 54 channels available through local translators, including local network channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox), and Public Broadcasting channels, as well as a range of channels such as MeTV (featuring classic TV shows), Grit (focused on Westerns), Buzzr (with game show reruns), and many more. The over the air setup can also be the most reliable way to ensure a signal for major sporting events—for instance the upcoming Super Bowl and Winter Olympics. While the board itself is not responsible for repairing and adjusting TV signals to individual houses, it is an essential part of ensuring that over the air broadcasts reach Malad in the first place.

The board has had a long and storied history, and Sherman intends to make sure that free TV is available to everyone in the valley moving forward. “We think we’re in a place—with all this great knowledge from those like Norm who came before, and the people like Becky and William who are sticking around—to move forward into the future in a good spot.

Raccoons host Radio Field Day The RACOONs (Radio Amateur Club of Oneida County) hosted a Winter Field day this weekend, in conjunction with other clubs from around the region. The field day gives participants a chance to set up and run their radio equipment in a winter setting as training for a real-world emergency in which radio operators are called in to establish a parallel communication network. Throughout the year, Radio Clubs are called on to coordinate communication for various events, include bike and running races, public events, and training exercises. Last summer’s Cache Valley Gran Fondo, for instance, featured the coordination of the RACOONs with other clubs from Northern Utah and Eastern Idaho. The radio communicators are able to establish lines of contact with other operators quickly using mobile setups. This can be critical in situations where other modes of communication are for various reasons inaccessible. Police, government, and emergency services often rely on the technical skills of amateur radio operators for emergency communication situations. Amateur Radio clubs are volunteer organizations, licensed by the FCC, who serve to establish and maintain a communications network of likeminded individuals around the region, country, and indeed the world. By law, they are prohibited from accepting payment for their services, and work on a completely volunteer basis. Depending on the time of day,
a “grey line” inhabits parts of the globe, which defines the optimal line along which to send and receive shortwave radio communications. Due to the way high frequency radio signals are interacted with by sunlight, the grey line is way to identify the strongest signals available as the Earth rotates. As the evening drew on, for instance, the grey line had moved onto the west coast of the US on one side of its parabola and the south Pacific and parts of Asia on the other, allowing the Hams to begin contacting known broadcasters in Alaska, Canada, California, Japan, and even New Zealand. David Hagan, originally from New Zealand, started checking broadcasts from the south pacific as they came in. “Oh, we’ve lost him for a while,” the crew in the trailer laughed. The visual display shows peaks along the various frequencies of the spectrum. A frequency, in this case, refers to the distance between peaks of sine waves at various Megahertz bands. Everything from naval wave sounding broadcasts to pirate radio stations can be found across the possible spectrums. A form of transmission referred to “slow-wave” can even be used to send images, including those from orbit, as well as more terrestrial origins. An intimidating array of equipment is used to visualize where broadcast signals are originating from all along the spectrum, though Box Elder County’s Golden Spike Club head Bret Anderson assures that it’s more complicat-
ed than it looks. “Once you get familiar with it, it makes perfect sense.” The group on hand on Saturday all had early experiences with radio operation. Hagan was raised by a father who inculcated his early interest in communications technology. “It was in my life from early on. I love it!” he stated. Other members had gained their love of communications and technology later on, but all seemed dedicated to providing important public service through their expertise. “It’s a lot of fun,” Anderson said. “But it’s also really important. We need people to learn this and know this. Sometimes it’s the only way for people to communicate in times when everything else goes dark.” The local radio groups generally host a Summer Field Day in June, and a Winter Field Day in January. The difficulties of the different field days vary by season, with snow and winter conditions constituting the primary problems during the winter. “I’ve been snowed in a bunch of times in the winter,” Anderson said. “And even into the spring, which is why this is useful. Some of the races early in the season take place where there is still snow in the mountains, so this is a good thing to be used to doing.” Anderson has done support for races in the region, such as the Bear 100 out of Logan, and seen snow on the mountain plenty of times. “I’ve been snowed in more times than I haven’t,” he laughed. The kinds of things that can happen that need

to be prepared for during radio events are legion, and emergency events themselves are obviously not the places to try to troubleshoot for them. “Murphy’s law is always in effect,” said David Hagan, of the Box Elder Golden Spike Amateur Radio Club. “Things are always going to happen. We’re always fighting with generators, for instance. We’ve had them freeze over on us. We definitely have to trudge through snow to fix them.” In addition to support for major, large area sporting events, local radio clubs also participate in yearly readiness exercises. The Golden Spike Club, for instance, recently participated in the “Great Utah Shake Out!” event last year. The event was a way to readiness test local emergency and communication responses in preparation for a major earthquake event in the region. Utah and Idaho are located along a number of significant faults,
which are predicted to be potential locations of earthquakes in the future. Southeast Idaho and northern Utah inhabit a number of connected fault zones, including the Island Park Caldera, Grand Valley Fault Zone, Cache Valley Fault Zone, Wasatch Fault Zone, and Eastern Bear Lake Fault Zone. In a situation where earthquakes or other natural disasters have prevented the standard emergency communication network from functioning properly, radio operators would be the quickest and most reliable way to establish communication and coordinate responses between locations. A large loop antenna and pole were erected in the City Park for the duration of the event, and several mobile vehicles full of equipment camped out in the lot to attempt to contact as many other operators as they could. The local RACCOON club currently lists its
CHEERLEADING The Malad High School Cheerleaders participated in the District Cheer Competition on Saturday, January 29 where their talent and hard work shined.

VARSITY BOYS BASKETBALL The Malad boys basketball team had a big week of games on their home court facing teams from North Fremont, Soda Springs, and West Side. The week of games didn’t go as smoothly as the team had hoped, with several players being out due to illness, injury and ineligibility. With different players available to play each night, it was difficult for the team to settle into a good rhythm. Team chemistry is a big part of the game and when the team in its entirety isn’t suited up to play, that chemistry is bound to be off. With varsity players not able to play, many of the JV players had new opportunities to step up. Varsity games may be more intense and faster paced, but the dragon team was determined to play big no matter who was on the court. Malad hosted the North Fremont Huskies of Ashton Wednesday, January 26. The Huskies are currently the Number 1 ranked team for the 2A division. Throughout the game, the team's efforts to move the ball around, to take advantage of open opportunities and working together kept them in the game. Some highlights of the
game included when Ben Petersen was quick to rebound and to break down the court. Teammate Jaden Ward came down the left side of the court to cut across under the basket out towards the right corner where Ben bounced passed the ball to him and he shot it for two points. On the next possession, the Dragons patiently worked the ball around the outside when Jace Williams found an opening, drove partway down the lane and pulled up to hit a jumper for two points. Later in the game, North Fremont was at the free throw line when they missed the shot and Jaden Ward rebounded the ball. He hustled the ball down the court to pass to open Bridger Bastian to sink the three pointer. In the fourth quarter Cooper Jones and Ben Petersen used the classic pick and roll to score again for the Dragons. Cooper set the screen for Ben who managed to keep both defenders guarding the ball. Cooper rolled to the block where Ben bounced the ball in for Cooper to lay it off the glass for two points. The very next night, Malad faced off conference team Soda Springs. The team struggled to get

their shots to fall in despite finding some good openings. While things didn’t settle in for a good rhythm offensively, the defense really stepped up to hold the Cardinals from running away with the game. The coaches commented that they really want to focus on getting more rebounds. Offensively it will give the team those second chances to score to get the points up. Defensively it will keep their opponents from those same opportunities. The Dragons closed out their week of games playing West Side Saturday, January 29. Having played the Pirates earlier in the season at Dayton helped them to be better prepared as they faced off. Bryler Shurtliff, the

6’1” senior from West Side, had dominated the previous game against Malad. At the end of Saturday’s game, Bryler, number 11, had only
scored twelve points, a victory in itself. Despite a tough week of games, the Dragons have proven themselves dedicated to the game,
despite the challenges that come their way. Coach Gibbs commented, “When we get things clicking, we are going to be tough to beat.”
last week and they were finally able to have a C game and a JV game. They were facing West Side. The C team came out and showed they were ready to play together. They worked hard to get the lead, going to the end of the first quarter up 17 - 11. By half time though, the tide had changed and Malad was trailing 23 31.But Malad did not stop working hard in the third quarter and tied the score at 42. The back and forth
battled continued through the final quarter. Both teams worked hard, fighting for the shot. When the final buzzer rang, Malad fell 51 - 52. The JV team struggled with West Side from the start. By half time, Malad was trailing 11 - 23. By the end of the first quarter, the Dragons were trailing 22 - 41.By the end of the game, the Dragons feel 34 - 65. The teams have just two more regular season
games. They were at Bear Lake on Wednesday, February 2. They will play their final home game on Friday, February 4. This will be the night the Senior Varsity players are honored prior to the Varsity game. The final game of the regular season will be on Thursday, February 10, at Soda Springs. The.C team played at 4:00 p.m, when in Malad, with the JV team following at 5:30 and the Varsity at 7:00 p.m.
JV AND C BASKETBALL Illness affects JV and C teams. The Malad High School Junior Varsity and C Boys’ Basketball teams had a busy week at home, facing North Fremont on Wednesday, January 26, Soda Springs on Thursday, January 27th and West Side on Saturday, January 29. Illness plagued the teams this week with two C team games getting cancelled so all the available players could be used for the
JV game. Against North Fremont, there was not a C game. The JV team was working hard but struggled early in this game, scoring just one point in the first quarter. Malad trailed 1 - 15 at the end of the first quarter. At half time, Malad trailed 7 - 30. Despite that margin, the Dragons did not give up and kept fighting. Malad scored 11 points by the end of the third quarter to trail 11 - 44. The game
ended with Malad falling 17 - 54. The next night, with sickness still a problem, the Dragons faced Soda Springs. The first quarter was close with Malad trailing 3 - 7. By half time, Malad was trailing 5 - 13. Malad kept working and score 11 points by the end of the third quarter but Soda Springs had 25. Malad went not to fall to Soda Springs 19-39. One more night of basketball for the Dragons
WRESTLING Under the lights on their home mats for the last time of the 2022 season, the Malad Dragon wrestling team had an eventful night of wrestling as they also honored the graduating wrestlers and remembered Cal Willie, former MHS wrestler that passed away in June of 2019. Each year, Coach Devin Morrison has dedicated the final home wrestling night in memory of Cal as a mark of his legacy so that this community will never forget the impact that he had in his short life. Before the matches began, senior athletes Austin Nalder, Billy Maddox and Matt Jacaway were recognized alongside their parents and coaches. Matt Jacaway, son of Craig and Jamie Jacaway, joined the wrestling team as a junior. He also played football for the Dragons as well as being student body Vice President and plans to attend college after graduation. When asked why he wrestled he answered, Wrestling has given me the grit and confidence I need to succeed in all aspects C Y

of life. I love being part of this program. Joining was a turning point in my life.” Austin Nalder, son of Laren and Shauna Nalder, has been wrestling since the age of 10. Austin took 2nd at state wrestling both his sophomore and junior years. Austin also participates in cross country and track at Malad high school. He is hoping to wrestle in college after graduation. Austin said of wrestling, “I wrestle because it pushes me to work hard and never give up.” Billy Maddox moved to Malad and lives with aunt and uncle, Aysha and Thomas Maddox. Billy joined the Dragon wrestling team his junior year but began his wrestling career in the 3rd grade. Billy also serves the Seminary Council Presidency in Malad. His plans following graduation are to attend college in Colorado. Billy shared, “Wrestling teaches me discipline and hard work. It also has taught me how to achieve my goals. Plus, I really like to toss people.” Coach Morriosn talked about the graduat-
ing wrestlers, saying, “These three have been strong leaders for our team. They are great wrestlers but more importantly they are great young men and it has been such an honor to be a part of their lives.” Malad’s wrestling team has really looked to its upper classmen, few as they may be, to help encourage, teach and lead the up and coming wrestlers this season. No one could deny the energy and excitement that filled the gym Friday, January 28, for the final home matches of the season as the Dragons faced off against the Firth Cougars. The parents, students, and community fans showed up in a big way to support the boys and girls of the Malad wrestling team. The athletes in turn kept the fans on their feet as each of them grappled for the win.

teams from Bear Lake, North Gem, Soda Springs, Grace, and West Side. Malad’s wrestling skills were put to the test as they wrestled throughout the day. The dragon wrestling team bested each team they faced, ultimately winning the tournament. As the season is quickly coming to a close and district tournaments are just weeks
away, Coach Morrison said, “It’s good to see where we are sitting at in our district. The kids know where they are strong and what we need to work on before the district tournament.” The Lady Dragon wrestlers traveled to Burley for an all girls tournament where Dezirae Haven and Catherine Leckie represented Malad High School.
