Norman Jaussi Reflects on nearly a half century of TV in Oneida County

By the time Norman Jaussi moved to Malad in 1960, he already had an impressive amount of experience with communications technology. Along with training with the Signal Corps at San Luis Obispo for the US army, Jaussi also served a 3 year LDS mission in Germany. “It was wonderful, but it was very cold. Very cold,” Jaussi explains. “When I first got there, the snow was three feet deep. Lots of the towns were still bombed out, and of course heating was hard to come by over there.” Between the those two experiences, Jaussi developed a keen sense of making a lot out of a little. In fact, learning to deal with such privation and a lack of infrastructural resources was something of a boon to

Jaussi in his later career, as one of the themes of his work on the translator system in Oneida county has been a need to build systems from the ground up with very little outside help or materials. Over the courseof his long tenure in the valley, Jaussi has had to engineer seemingly impossible solutions out of seemingly nowhere. After his return stateside, Jaussi pursued a formal education in the rapidly growing technology fields of the 1950s at ISU, where he pursued a degree in electronics in 1956. “That was a breeze for me,” he says. “Of course, I had already had so much practical experience in the field it wasn’t a stretch.” During his time in Pocatello, Norm was responsible for setting up

the original broadcast for Pocatello’s channel 6 using a “broken transmitter” that simply needed a minor mechanical fix to bring to full working order. “That wasn’t the problem. The problem was more rattlesnakes than you can imagine.” At one point in the mid- 1970s, the county commissioners asked Jaussi to look into establishing a way to bring television broadcast signals into the valley. At the time, the only signals that were available in Malad came from northern Utah, and could only be reliably picked up in certain areas and under certain weather conditions. After looking all around the valley for a location where a reliable signal could be found, the hard work began. “After a signal is found,

there’s a lot more to do,” Jaussi says. Jaussi’s active FCC license cleared the first hurdle, but the more significant ones involved arranging for the purchase of the property on which to construct the broadcast station, as well as the construction itself. The construction was aided in large part by Marvin Hess, and the land was ultimately leased from the Idaho State Landlord at a cost of $100 a year for ten years. The County Commissioners also created a TV taxing district which charged landowners $10 a year to help underwrite expenses.

Invention Convention Brings Bright Ideas to Malad Elementary School Last Thursday, Malad Elementary School held its first ever “Invention Convention,” replacing the Science Fair of the past with a chance for students to display their problem-solving ideas for the public. This year, the 4th and 5th grade students both participated in the event, which was well attended by parents of both grades. The inventions ranged from the mostly whimsical to the eminently practical. “There were some of them that I told the kids, ‘that’s a great idea—you could actually sell that!’,” said Principal Sarah McIntyre. The idea behind the Invention Convention was to give students a way to apply a range of skills to problem-solving practical problems. The inventions themselves involved a variety of engineering, science, and math problems. The displays involved both written communication skills as well as illustrative art work. The project as whole emphasizes the STEM curriculum (Science Technology Engineering and Math). In addition to coming up with the ideas themselves, students also needed to go through the process of determining whether their ideas already existed, and adjust them accordingly to avoid intellectual infringement. As parents milled about the second floor of the school building, the students were on hand to walk all those interested through the nature of their projects. “It’s a Child Separator,” Evelynn Ward explained, pointing to a

carboard trifold demonstrating how a cushioned divider could be used to keep ‘your brother and sister from bothering you’ on car rides. “I thought of this idea when I was in the car in Hawaii. My siblings were yelling at each other and being so annoying. Also, I was in the car and spilled my food all over. It was awful,” her written display explains. The Child separator also includes a table to prevent such food disasters. “I thought it would be a good idea,” Evelynn said. And indeed, many of the inventions on display were good ideas designed with just those types of annoying real-world issues in mind. Seth Huckaby’s “Magnetic Cup and Straw” was designed to overcome the frequent issue of spilling. The cup rests atop a magnetic bar to prevent it from tipping over, and comes with an attached straw. Rebecca Nolan Nelson invented a “Squeeze Brush,” a toothbrush which contains refillable toothpaste in the handle, so that she doesn’t have to look around for a tube of toothpaste or share one with messy people. Wheeler Smith invented a “Magic Charger” that will charge by kinetic energy while inside your pocket, so that you can charge while walking around. June Talbot’s “Kid Lock” uses the idea of Roman numerals as part of its lock system to INVENTION CONVENTION BRINGS BRIGHT IDEAS TO MALAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL On Page 2

Invention Convention Brings Bright Ideas to Malad Elementary School Continued from front page

keep kids out of things that people want them to stay out of, reasoning that most kids aren’t familiar with those numbers. Halley Talbot’s “Staplasewer” uses the leverage of a stapler to initially thread a sewing needle into a fabric, rather than a standard thimble and thumb technique. Jocelynn Purdum’s “Fish Feeder” is an adaptation of an automatic dog feeder, designed to dispense a preset amount of fish food for a scalable number of fish. A lot of kids used basic engineering techniques to make existing devices more efficient. Tyce Thomas’ “Reloading Bow,” for instance, uses a pulley system to automatically reload arrows for quicker firing. Luke Schow developed the idea for a “Scrubby Sock” which is a body wash cloth which contains a bar of soap, allowing the user to scrub and soap in the same action. Ava Fesler invented a mask equipped with headphones for a complete noise-cancelling experience. A number of students proposed improvements to the standard pencil, including Bridger Barnes’ “Penpencil,” which combines the advantages of both implements. A number of students suggested changes to pencils that make either erasing or sharpening easier in various ways, such as Grayson Thomas’ “Erase Pencil” which places an eraser on the same side as the tip. Gage Steed literally “built a better mousetrap” (as the age old engineering saying goes). His trap involvedsa Habitrail style network of baited tunnels that lead to a hungry cat. Anna Chapman’s “Quick Clear Eraser” was essentially a squeeqy sized white board dry-eraser that could cover ground much faster than a standard dry eraser. Many of these modifications to existing products demonstrated an amazing amount of engineering sensibility and refinement. Dane Williams, for instance, proposed a triple insulated diesel tank to allow for quicker engine startup on cold mornings. Andrew Pickett invented “The Yeeter,” which allows individuals with difficulties throwing to beyond to toss objects using a helmet rig. Others ventured more toward the creative side of problem solving and the quixotic side of invention. Zacahary Briscoe invented an “M&M Cannon,” which would allow for the high powered propulsion of treats. Riggin Montgomery proposed a sport called “Foobockey” that involves skating on ice and throwing a football through a hoop. Tayli Hachmeister invented “Kitty Wheels,” which allows apartment cats to play outside without the danger of becoming lost. “I made this for him so he can go out and play. He is a kitten and I C Y

love him and would never want him to get hurt,” she wrote. KayDee Kim Daniels’ “Bracelet and Art Clean!” allows the user to randomize a selection of beads for use in creating art objects in new and surprising combinations. Sebastian Lazenby invented a protective cardboard shell for protecting his RC cars against such external forces as sisters. In addition to teaching the fundamentals of science and engineering, the Invention Convention allows students to stretch both their imaginative faculties along with their mechanical problem-solving skills. According to MES 5th grade teacher Cinniman Allen, “We [5th Grade teachers] learned about this project from the Istem Summer Institute offered through the Idaho STEM Action Center and Idaho State University that we went to last summer. We invited the 4th grade to join with us and teach about science and STEM through an invention project.” Over the last decade, STEM curricula have been a major focus in both primary and secondary education. STEM instruction emphasizes the kind of mechanical and technical problem solving that dominates many emerging fields for research, industry, and exploration of integrated ideas about technology and science. Describing the process, Allen explained that “All students had to come up with an invention idea, research patents to make sure it was original, create a model or detailed blueprint, and a presentation board to show their work. They also had a detailed notebook that kept all notes, ideas, brainstorming, parentsearches, classwork and anything else pertaining to the project.” The Invention Convention was a project long in the making, with students spending a lot of their spare in-class time brainstorming, fine-tuning, and workshopping ideas. “We worked on this for a few months, preparing the students for the Invention Fair. The students really bought into the project and worked very hard. I loved that they would ask to work on the project and looked forward to it. It was a huge success. Now to prepare for next

year!” Allen said. Throughout the convention, the vast majority of students were excited to show off their work and talk about their projects. There is no doubt that out of the scores of projects on display at the event, some of them have a real chance of becom-

ing things we eventually take for granted! And even if that isn’t the case, the level of creative engineering and marketing savvy of the students themselves speak very well for their future endeavors.

Fair Board Meets The Fair Board met on the 3rd to discuss a number of issues pertaining to the upcoming fair season. After approving the minutes and welcoming members, the chair proceeded with checking in on member assignments. Pat Werk reported that a potential conflict of scheduling may require a change of day for the Team Roping competition. It was determined by the Board that changing the day for team roping from Wednesday to Tuesday would be acceptable. The MotoCross event was confirmed for Monday of Fair week, and the other entertainment events were under discussion for final confirmation. The Board decided to seek volunteer workers once again. Volunteering for civic organizations, it was noted, can result in a positive resume line for school and job applications. The

Fair Board’s website is under construction, but its Facebook page and/ or website will be updated to contain information about applications and the forms necessary to apply. A motion to pursue publicizing the volunteer positions was made and carried. The issue of leasing Oneida County’s Simulcast license has been percolating through the County Commission this month. Oneida County is in a position to apply for one of the few simulcast licenses in the state as a result of its consistent history of running live races. Once the license is obtained, a group called Midnight Racing in Ada County is interested in leasing it in order to simulcast from the old Les Bois park. The discussion at the county level has been about the legal framework for the lease agreement, and the potential financial upside. County Attorney Cody

Brower has looked into the issue, and those involved with the decision feel the leasing arrangement is essentially a nolose situation, where the county stands to make upwards of $40,000 on the lease, as opposed to nothing if it forgoes pursuing the arrangement. The issue of whether such a situation would allow Malad to broadcast its own races as part of the simulcast setup was raised, though it was determined that the infrastructure necessary to establish a simulcast would be cost prohibitive. Bannock County, for instance, pursued a simulcast arrangement recently and discovered that in order to break even they needed a $90,000 handle, and their average handle was $45,000. A motion was made to change the Queen contest to June 11th in order to avoid conflict with weigh-in for the sheep show, the classic

car show planned for the same week, as well as the swap meet. The motion was carried. An issue with potential water damage in the Road and Bridge Department building, where the Fair Board’s filing cabinets are currently stored, will require the Board to relocate their records temporarily to the Event Center storage. The Fair Board moved forward with formulating an ad for a groundskeeper position

for the Fair season, to begin in April. The ad will be posted on the Board’s website, Facebook page, and other media until the position is filled. The issue of whether to contract with the company responsible for bringing “paintless paintball” to the fair last year was discussed. While the event was essentially a financial loss last year, it was noted that it was very popular, and provided a lot of entertainment for visitors,

especially kids. The tentative decision to renew the paintless paintball contract was made. Arrangements for the musical entertainment were ongoing, as the previously sought musical act was not going to be able to perform this year. A rifle for the raffle was located and purchased, with the purchase of a pistol underway. A generator has already been obtained as a raffle prize.

Jenny Oaks Baker Visits Malad Idaho Stake Members of the Oneida community and of the Malad Stake gathered for the exciting opportunity to listen to Jenny Oaks Baker joined by her son and accompanied Abby Anderson as she performed Sunday, February 6, at the Malad Stake Center. The fireside featured beautiful hymns and life experiences that helped Jenny build a testimony of the importance of being “all in: keeping on the covenant path.” Jenny Oaks Baker is a Grammy Nominated, Billboard No. 1 violinist, with eighteen albums to her credit. She and her four children, Laura, Hannah, Sarah and Matthew, comprise their musical group “Family Four.” Their group has performed with orchestras throughout the United States including the Utah Symphony, Millennial Choirs and Orchestras and the Tabernacle

Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square as well as in concert halls around the world. Jenny Oaks Baker & Family Four are also featured on many popular music videos. Their debut album, entitled “Jenny Oaks Baker & Family Four” hit No 4 on the Billboard Charts. Their Christmas album, Joy to the World debuted at No 7 on the Billboard Charts. Laura,20, plays the violin and is currently serving a mission in Lisbon, Portugal. Hannah,18, attends the Royal Academy of Music in London studying the piano. Sarah, 17, plays the cello and Matthew, 15 plays the classical and electric guitar. Jenny and her children have been performing together as a family since each child started playing their instruments when they were three or four years

old. Their husband and father Matt Baker is a business executive and is incredibly supportive of his wife and children. Throughout the fireside, Jenny told of stories and instances that built her faith in God and His plan throughout her life. Her mother’s diagnosis of cancer prompted her to ask, “How can I have faith that someone will get well... when you know that everything is dependent on the Lord’s will?” Her father, Elder Dallin H. Oaks taught her, “I believe the only true faith is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Everything we have faith in is based on trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and that he will do what is best for us.” Jenny’s mother eventually passed away but Jenny’s testimony of faith remained strong, something she demonstrated as she played “I Stand All Amazed.”

Jenny shared a story of an experience she and her family had when they visited Italy where they performed, vacationed and filmed a music video featuring songs from “The Sound of Music.” As they arrived in Italy, they found that despite their many efforts to keep their instruments safe, Sarah’s cello had been damaged and needed repair. After some time, they were able to have the cello fixed and continued on with their trip. Along one of their tourist stops, their van was broken into and they were robbed. Most of their possessions had been stolen, but Jenny’s priceless 1795 Stradivarius violin remained untouched in the car. She couldn’t help but feel God’s love as he watched over her, strengthening her understanding of being a child of God. She then played

a beautiful arrangement of, “I am a Child of God.” As she continued on with her story of their adventure in Italy, Jenny explained the efforts she and her family took to replace luggage, clothes, passports and instruments. In an attempt to find the stolen instruments, they notified those that had recently repaired Sarah’s cello what had happened. This proved fruitful as they received a call that the cello had indeed been found as the thieves attempted to sell the cello just the day before Jenny and her family returned home. They had recognized Sarah’s cello from its earlier damage. What at first had been a serious frustration had been the means of the miracle to find the cello again. As Jenny then played, “Abide With Me,” Jenny testified that through

trials, God will always remain close by and consecrate our afflictions for good. Jenny, Matthew, and Abby continue to share moments in their lives where they chose to remain on the covenant path and the miracles they witnessed as they did so. As they spoke, they also taught through their music as they played, “Nearer my God to Thee,” “The Spirit of God,” and “A Wayfaring Man of Grief.” As Jenny concluded her performance, she bore her testimony of how the gospel has led her and family along the covenant path. She said, “This is the path that leads to us happiness in this life and happiness in the world to come. The gospel is the happier way.” She then finished with an inspiring rendition of “Amazing Grace.”

Norman Jaussi Reflects on a half century of TV in Oneida County Continued from front page

tent producers in Oneida county, all of Malad’ s over the air TV broadcasts come from outside the area, primarily northern Utah and Pocatello and Idaho Falls. The antennae which have been established around the valley essentially capture signals from those broadcast areas, and then send them into the valley on assigned channels, which are “translated” for the local area. From the original channels in 1977, dozens of additional signals have been added, sometimes through acquiring them through fees (each additional channel has an average cost of $20,000 dollars), and sometimes through the fee plus the construction of new equipment to capture and rebroadcast the signal. The Idaho Public TV signal, for instance, required a new repeater station to be built in a field in Holbrook, and C Y

then rebroadcast to the top of the summit and then into the valley. If you’ve ever wondered why the translator list for PBS between episodes of “Rosemary and Thyme” and “This Old House” displays the call sign for Holbrook, you can thank Norman Jaussi for that, as well as the many people he credits for helping over the years. “We couldn’t have done this without a lot of people,” he says. “Marvin Hess and I did all the engineering for free. Well, it wasn’t free to us,” he laughs. Norman is an advocate for digital over the air broadcast TV. “We have the best TV in the country here,” he says. “For thirty bucks a year, people are getting clear, uncompressed digital signals that look great. We have a total of fifty-four channels that are always on TV and have whatever you need.” The 54 channel total is a result of channels run-

ning stacked on stations. For instance, 15-1, 15-2, 15-3, etc. In additional to local channels from Idaho Falls, Pocatello, and Utah, the local over the air broadcast feed includes national, syndicated channels such as MeTV, GRiT, Mystery, and others. For those looking to watch the Olympics without having to subscribe to the Peacock Streaming service, NBC has both a standard and HD channel available over the air, which will be airing the majority of major winter sports throughout the next two weeks. Over the last four decades, a lot of changes have happened on the TV broadcast front. Through the eighties and nineties, Jaussi and the Translator board continued to add channels to their stock. During that time, various channel realignments happened. The Federal government, for instance, took over the channel ranges from

52-83, keeping some for future use and selling others to emerging cell phone and telecommunication companies. This required reassigning some of Malad’s channels, and repositioning antennas. The largest wholesale change occurred in the early 2000s when the FCC announced a largescale change to digital, rather than analog broadcast signals. If you remember that period of time, TVs began to lose access to analog signals and require converter boxes in order to decode digital transmissions. Modern televisions are now built to avoid the need for decoder boxes. The long and short of the transition for Jaussi and local TV broadcasts was that new licenses and new equipment needed to be acquired in order to maintain “free TV”. Some of the additional issues involved having to resolve channels that broadcast on the

same frequency. Channel 3 from Idaho Falls, for instance, migrated to Channel 36, which is also where Channel 9 from Utah migrated. In order to resolve these kinds of issues, Norm was essentially called upon to engineer a solution out of nowhere, which of course he managed to do. “That was impossible, but we did it anyway,” he says. Norman credits his point person at the FCC, Hossein Hashemzadeh, with helping navigate the sometimes byzantine bureaucracy of the constantly changing Federal Communications Commission and other state and local regulations. “He’s been a great supporter of me, and of Malad—a good friend to our TV here.” Jaussi also spearheaded a project to put a TV station in the High School. The project was a major success during its first years, graduating a number of Malad stu-

dents with TV and media experience who went on to pursue degrees in those fields. Over time, the TV station was phased out as a result of some concerns about its oversight, since broadcast violations can result in fines from the FCC of up to $100,000 dollars. “Oneida County has never been fined once, and I definitely wanted to keep it that way.” Down the road, Jaussi foresees similar problems with the plan to change the broadcast format to the “AST-3” system from the current one. While Norm himself promises to stay retired for the future, he mentions that he has already retired four times, so the odds are against it. Asked what he wants people here to know about the history of TV in the valley, Jaussi says, “If people around here like their TV, why, they can thank me for it!” Then he laughs. C Y

Winter Olympics Begin in Beijing; Schedule of Events 2022 sees China as the first city in modern world history to host both the Summer Games (in 2008) and the Winter Games. In 2008, China was an emerging world power, seeking to establish itself on the world stage. In 2022, China is clearly a major player in world politics, against a current complex backdrop of international tensions. Amid a number of intervening contextual factors—such as the continuation of COD outbreaks affecting the athletes, a diplomatic boycott by the US government, and the continuation of complaints against China’s treatment of Hong Kong democracy movements and the suppression of ethnic minorities across the country, the games began in full on Thursday. COVID China has decided to limit the audiences for events (particularly those in enclosed environments like figure skating) to selected domestic audiences, as well as coaching staffs. While the overall effect has so far been less empty than the Tokyo protocols, the sparsely filled stadiums are still

a stark reminder of the current environment. Several athletes from a number of countries have been disqualified from participation due to positive COVID testing. Others have managed to find their way back into competition after early positive COVID tests, including, most notably three time-medalist US bobsledder Elena Myers Talbot, who was not able to attend the opening ceremonies due her positive test. She has, however, been cleared to participate in time for her events. American Figure Skater Vincent Zhou is one of the highest profile athletes to date to have tested positive for COVID and been eliminated from competition as a result. Zhou was expected to perform well in a number of individual events after helping the USA to silver in the team skating competition behind to ROC’s gold. "I’ve already lost count of the number of times I’ve cried today," he said. "But I’m happy to say that... I became an Olympic silver medalist." As of the beginning of the Olympics, 111 athletes had tested posi-

tive for COVID, making them partially or entirely ineligible for the games. Some have been able to be cleared in time to make it to their events, while others remain in quarantine conditions awaiting negative tests. Depending on when the athletes were infected, there are a range of possibilities as far as further competition. As a result, the IOC and Beijing officials have created a quarantined zone inside the Olympic village. A number of athletes have complained about the conditions inside the quarantined facilities, and some have decided to simply leave rather than remain on hand. Obviously, this has affected athletes with earlier events on the schedule more than those with events that begin next week. New Events Several events are being held for the first time in international Olympic competition, including a number of mixed team events. Mixed teams include both male and female competitors, including mixed aerials, snowboard cross, speed skating short track relay, and ski jumping. Free Ski

Bigair and Monobob are also new events. Freeski Bigair is similar to the Snowboard Bigair event in which athletes perform their biggest tricks off one ramp—a different one each time—and the top two scores count toward the total. Monobob is a single rider bobsled event where each athlete is responsible for pushing and steering their own sled down the track. So far in Beijing, the track has proven to be exceptionally fast, and resulted in a number of crashes in the luge and skeleton prelims. In mixed ski jumping—which combines the scores of all the participants—Slovenia won the first ever gold medal, ahead of the ROC and Canada. The event is scored on a combination of distance and form attributes. Regional Athletes While there are no athletes from Southeast Idaho specifically, there are several competitors from surrounding areas. Hilary Knight, of Sun Valley, is on the US women’s hockey team, which is expected to play for the gold medal at the end of the Olympics. Andrew Bla-

ser, of Meridian is a member of the US Skeleton team, which begins heats on the 9th, and goes to the finals on the 11th. Chase Josey, of Hailey, will compete in the men’s Halfpipe on the 10th. Caitlin Patterson, of McCall, will be in the cross country skiing event on the 10th. Scott Patterson, Caitlin's brother who is also from McCall, will also be racing in Cross county events starting on the 10th. Ken Bolger, of Sun Valley, will participate in the freestyle sprint on February 8th. There are dozens of winter Olympians from the University of Utah, as well as many competitors from elsewhere in Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. First US Medal Snowboard Slopestyle competitor Julia Marino took the silver in the women’s slopestyle event on the first day of competition, with a total score of 87.68. The slopestyle event involves a series of technical tricks—grind and rail tricks up at the top of the course, and a series of jumps at the bottom— that aggregate along with “flow” and variety for a total score. A fall on any of the elements essential-

ly disqualifies a rider, so a clean and proficient run is ideal. Marino’s second run checked all the boxes, and put her in solid first against the field until heavy favorite Zoi Sadowski-Synnott of New Zealand took her final run to lock in a 92.88 and the gold. Tess Coady, of Australia, took bronze. US Women’s Hockey The US Women’s hockey team dominated the Russian Olympic Committee in their second match, beating ROC 5-0 in something of a shellacking. This came on the heels of a victory in their group over Finland 5-2, and an astonishing 8-0 victory over Switzerland the next day. As a result of winning their group, the team will go on to face home team China, who lost to Sweden 2-1 this weekend. Most analysts predict an ultimate gold medal showdown between the US and Canada, one of which has won gold in every Olympics since women’s hockey was introduced as a sport in 1998. The US team will play a prelim against Canada on Monday the 7th.

Grandparents Only

Not recommended reading for parents and kids By Dotty Thorpe Evanson

Blod and Ed were better known to me as Grandma and Grandpa Thorpe. Now, they were grandparents, back when grandparents were, well, grandparents. Grandma was stout, curly headed and engaged. Grandpa was tall, thin and not so engaged, until you got the Rook cards out. They were married in 1921, the Roaring Twenties. Grandpa served in France during WWI and then homesteaded in Ireland Canyon. Grandma was “home-centered” before “home-centered” was even a word. Every woman was home-centered. She baked. She cooked. She had lunch ready at noon, which back in the day was called dinner. She had dinner, which back in the day was called supper, on at 6:00. Every day come rain or shine, in sickness or in health, food was ready at noon and 6:00. If noon and 6:00 came around with no food, Grandpa was sitting at the table wondering why. She quilted. She gardened. She C Y

canned everything, including fish. She fished with Grandpa up at Crowther’s Reservoir, and as far as I knew that was their bonding time. I don’t remember them ever going on a date. She wore dresses unless she was fishing, and then she got the jeans out. I took Grandma and Grandpa and their way of life for granted. They were available. When Mom and Dad went to the Wheel Inn for dinner (supper) on Saturday night, we went to Grandma and Grandpa’s. Grandma made salt dough which we rolled into the longest snakes the kitchen table could hold. She told the best stories, and we each had our favorite. Henny Penny and that falling sky was at the top of my list. We had our bath in her claw-footed tub, followed by a Turkish rub down. All this had to be done before Lawrence Welk, because we could not miss Lawrence and the Champagne Lady. About the time Lawrence signed off, Mom and Dad would come and gather us up and home we would go. Years later, prob-

ably when I was in high school, I ran into Grandma and Grandpa’s on a Saturday night for something and there they were, sitting on the couch, watching Lawrence Welk and holding hands. All was right with the world. Guess they bonded over more than fishing. Holding hands, it’s a beautiful thing and an important element of the Good Life! Happy Valentines’ Week!

January 10, 2022

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017) Friday, February 3, was a special day at hospitals around the country, as well as at Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital in Malad. Staff at Nell J. Redfield joined with hospitals across the nation in wearing red to support National Wear Red Day, which is celebrated each year to bring attention to heart disease and stroke. The Malad High School Business Professionals of America had a large group of students compete in the recent Regional BPA competitions, held at Idaho State State University. Many MHS students placed high and earned a chance to compete at the state level in March. Those participating were Trevan Downey, Damian Tiller, Cameron Wright, J.D. Wilkins, Bracken Degn, Jake Blaisdell, Stephie Briggs, Hallye Green, Ashlyn Price, Jeni Alder, Abby Goddard, Rachel Green, Jacee McClellan, Jessica Perry, Samantha Williams and Connor McClain. At a recent competition, the Malad High School cheerleaders claimed trophies in each division they competed in. Those competing included Hailee Schwartz, Sadie Giles, Bree Daniels, Kelsey Owen, Abby Timothy, Trae Hill, Ashlyn Brown, Jordan Brown, Bracken Degn, Tristan Bailey, MaTece Davis, Brenna Williams and Abby Goddard. These same cheerleaders are ready to compete for a chance to claim top prizes in the Fifth District Cheer competition and earn a chance to compete at state. The Malad High School Dragonettes are excited to take the floor this Saturday, February 11, as they compete in the annual Fifth District Drill and Dance Competition. This competition will be held at Pocatello High School with the dance portion beginning at 12 noon. Those competing will be Ashlyn Price, Marian Smith, Savanah Poulson, McKenzie Colton, Rachel Green and Kallee Warren. 10 YEARS AGO (2012) The Oneida County Veterans’ Memorial was dedicated on July 16, 2005. At that time, there was room to add many additional veterans’ names to the wall. However, in the past ten years, approximately 30 men and women

have served our county in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The Memorial only has room to add five or six more names. In order to honor our new veterans, the memorial must be expanded. The expansion will be large enough to accommodate the recent Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, plus any future veterans who serve our country. For the first time since 1982, Malad will not be holding a Junior Miss, now known as Distinguished Young Woman, program. With only three girls showing interest, it is not enough to hold a local program. Margaret Williams Jones proudly received her Daughters of Utah Pioneers membership certificate. She joined the Malad Valley Camp of the Oneida Company of the DUP as another milestone of accomplishments of her 98 years of life. The Malad High School Chapter of the BPA recently competed in their Regional competition in Pocatello. Those competing for the group were K.C. Snyder, Kylee Price, Moriah Ihler, Ciara Ward, Nicona Broadus, Lizzy Wray, Brooks Bowman, Devin Robbins, Meaghan Brown, Chris Austin, Jacob Stevens, McKenzie Willie, Ashlee Waddoups, Wyatt Perry, Chase Albretson and Cameron Watkins. 15 YEARS AGO (2007) Eli Jones, Kimberly Norstrom and Megan Raat completed their requirements for graduation from Oneida High School and were awarded their diplomas by Oneida School District School Board Chairman Ivan Jensen. After many months of renovation members of the Holbrook LDS Ward are enjoying the near completion of their newly remodeled church building. The crowning glory of the building took place last week when the long awaited steeple was placed on top of the building. Old galvanized water pipes in the original section of the Oneida County Hospital and Nursing Home have all been replaced with new copper plumbing. Liberty Plumbing of Blackfoot wrapped up the month-long project on Monday. Cheer Company performed in front of a large crowd at the Utah Jazz versus San Antonio Spurs game on Jan-

OEA president Marva Couch apprised trustees that Malad Elementary is one of two schools selected from this area to attend the Idaho Education Association’s Symposium of Quality Schools in Boise. Fifth grade student, Brady Price is the winner of the Geography Bee held at Malad Elementary School. Brady said he only missed two questions to be champion out of all the fourth, fifth and sixth grade students. First runner up was fourth grade student, Brady Robbins and second runner up was fifth grade student Michael Wallace. The Malad Stake will join members of the LDS Church worldwide this year in celebrating the Sesquicentennial Trek of the Mormon pioneers across the plains. It was 150 years ago, on July 24, 1847, that the pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley. Elder Erick Griffiths has accepted a call to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Philippines Bacalod Mission. He will enter the MTC on February 12. 35 YEARS AGO (1987) Malad City Councilmen were presented with drawings last week for a proposed new face on the City Hall and Water Office. Local contractors, Brad and Kim Hess, met with the city fathers on an informal basis to discuss the project that has been talked

Members of the First and St. John Wards, along with other interested members of the Malad Stake, gathered at their newly remodeled Meetinghouse for the dedication services of the building. President Foster Ipsen offered the Dedicatory Prayer. Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise with Thayne Barker are winners of the Sears Grand Opening grand prize.

The Malad High School Dragons claimed their first win of the District Tournament last Tuesday night as they slid past the Grace Grizzlies. They will enter the second round at 8 p.m. in the Marsh Valley Gymnasium. 45 YEARS AGO (1977) As dry day follows dry day, the possibility of Oneida County facing its worst drought in history is fast becoming reality. Snow surveys conducted by the Soil Conservation Service last week revealed overall average water content at 21 per cent of normal and snow depth at 26.6 per cent of normal. Governor John V. Evans has called this dry winter “the most severe drought situation Idaho ever has experienced.” The numerous incidents of Strep throat infections in Oneida County have recently reached epidemic proportions, according to Malad physician Dr. Thomas De Bauche. Emphasizing the importance of getting checked for the infection, the physician warned Oneida residents that Scarlet fever is caused by this same strain of Strep infection. Two cases of Scarlet fever have already been reported in the County. Another dangerous illness resulting from Strep throat is Rheumatic fever. Leland Jones, from Cherry Creek, participated and won at the Tremonton cutter races on Saturday. The American War Mothers met to enjoy a program centered around the theme “My

American Heritage.” Mrs. Beverly Head, program chairman, was pleased to note that 45 seventh grade students entered the poster contest. The following winners were announced: Miriam Jensen, first; Trisa Williams, second; Pam Bybee, third; Diana Martin, fourth; and Diana Gibbons, fifth. 55 YEARS AGO (1967) Highlighting National and District Courts of Honor held for the Boy Scouts at the Malad LDS Stake Building was the awarding of the coveted Eagle Badge to Dale Brinkerhoff, a member of the Malad Second Ward troop headed by Scoutmaster Carl Willie. Malad student named to the honor roll at Utah State University during the past quarter is Mary Alice Christophersen, according to Dean Carlisle of the Department of Arts and Humanities. Miss Christophersen is a junior majoring in English and speech. Three Malad High graduates have been named to the honor roll for high scholastic achievements during the first semester at Ricks College in Rexburg. Honored were Jim Blaisdell, Lois Kent and Terry Pierce Sorensen. After the annual meeting held last week, G. L. Jenkins, chairman of the board of J. N. Ireland & Co., Bankers, announced the election of Williams G. Jenkins as the new president of the bank and Roland T. Evans as the vice president. The Silver Beaver Award, Scouting’s highest honor, was presented to L.R. Budge at a Tendoy Council recognition meeting held at the Green Triangle in Pocatello. Dr. Chester E. Evans, chief of the Northern Plains Branch for Agricultural Research Service, Soil and Water Conservation Research Division, left this week for India to begin a three-month assignment in that country. Evans is a recognized authority on soil fertility and moisture conservation problems of the Great Plains. Dr. Evans is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Evans Evans of Malad. He is the brother of Mrs. Jennie Alder.

65 YEARS AGO (1957) Another honor in a long list came to Miss Chloe Price of Malad when she was elected president of the Iowa Future Teachers’ Association at the state convention. Valedictorian of the Malad High School three years ago this spring, Miss Price was named Miss Malad City and was first runner-up to Miss Idaho. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Price. During the past few weeks, several individuals and members of civic organizations have discussed the possibility of establishing a museum in Malad. It has been pointed out that a museum here would have a two-fold purpose. First, it would give us a permanent record of a valley that has had a very interesting history and second, it would probably prove quite an attraction to tourists if the success other communities have had with this type of project is an indication. Although still just an idea at the present, a few citizens having relics of our past history have volunteered to contribute them to a museum and there are probably hundreds of persons in the county who have items or documents that were used by the pioneers in this section of Idaho. 75 YEARS AGO (1947) Mrs. S. A. Hendricks and Mrs. G.E. Harris went to Logan where they attended a U.S.A.C. Assembly program, which the Kappa Delta sorority presented. Each year a trophy is awarded to the group presenting the best program and last year the award was won by Kappa Delta. Miss Carol Dawn Hendricks, daughter of Mrs. Hendricks, is a member of this sorority. Max Lee Call, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bertie D. Call was recently pledged to Brigadiers, one of the men’s social units on the Brigham Young University campus. Miss Nelda Ray Howard, daughter of William G. Howard of Malad was also pledged to Alta Mitra, one of the women’s social organizations.

Owen Braker, 52 born on May 9th, 1969, in Malad, Idaho passed away January 30, 2022, unexpectedly from complications of surgery in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Owen best known as Tig, Big O, or Big Red graduated from Logan high school in 1987 where he showed us all one of his many talents as he was recognized as an allstate catcher in baseball with potential of going pro. His love for the outdoors is what took him to Alaska. He got to use his outstanding skills of fishing and hunting alongside his river buddies that were like family. While Owen was in Alaska, he became a guide on a river that runs well over 100 miles and loved every moment of it. With being a guide, it gave Owen a lot of pride and he was always out to share his knowledge of the outdoors with anyone eager and willing to listen. In the time frame of 2015 Owen’s proudest achievement was being a Millwright for the overhaul of turbines on the Palisades Dam. Owen experienced many travels through his life and flew on every plane known to man, out of all of his many travels the place he claimed his favorite was Louisiana. Friends and family both describe Owen as a gentle giant but fierce

Ag Pests and Predators By Allison Eliason

Just last week I went with my husband to our winter pasture in Locomotive north of the Great Salt Lake. We were hauling in some feed to supplement the range grass that is dismally in short supply. Traveling across our land we saw hundreds and hundreds of antelope grazing and running across the fields. We also saw evidence of the large elk herds that roam across the hills of Locomotive. These animals are really incredible to see up close in their big herds as they show off their speed and agility. As they move across our land, we feel some amount of stewardship over them. Over the recent years, the herds have been increasing in numbers and frequenting our ranges more and more. While we do enjoy the wildlife, their growing herd sizes create a degree of nuisance and burden, especially for the amount of feed they eat. In a normal year, losing feed to other grazing animals is hard, but in a year of

drought where forages are diminishing quickly, any amount of feed lost can be disastrous. Pests and predators in all their various forms are constantly wreaking havoc on farm and ranch operations. Depending on the year, season and circumstances, farmers and ranchers can face a multitude of plagues. As operations face such deterrents, they have to weigh over the best options to manage pests and predators in a safe and efficient way. We are fortunate that in this area we don’t yet have predators such as wolves that directly damage our herds. Stories of other ranchers’ significant losses due to wolves have demonstrated just how destructive they are. We do, however, deal with the effects of wolves indirectly. As their pack sizes grow larger, they push other wildlife herds to roam different areas. Research has shown that the wolves of the Yellowstone National Park prey primarily on elk populations. As a result, the elk herds continue to move away from their

normal grazing lands to new areas such as our Locomotive range land. Elk, deer and antelope in small amounts aren’t a heavy burden on the land. But large herds can ruin fences, destroy and eat up stack yards of hay and overgraze rangeland. Cattle, sheep and other domestic herds’ grazing can easily be kept in check to keep rangelands healthy, but large roaming wildlife populations graze freely without any regulation. Elk herds migrating from the Yellowstone National Park pose another threat to cattle as they have been found to be carriers of brucellosis, a bacterial disease that causes abortions in cattle. The disease is transmitted when cattle come into contact with infected birth tissues. With elk, deer and antelope causing a myriad of frustrations for farmers and ranchers, they have sought solutions to protect their animals, feed, and land. They have found some success using specialty elk fences to keep wildlife from destroying haystacks and ordinary wire fences.

January 10, 2022

In some circumstances, Fish and Game is willing to help provide materials for any operations looking to put up elk fence. In areas overrun with elk, depredation tags are often given to land owners in an attempt to keep herd sizes smaller. Unfortunately, there is no clear or easy solution to keep wildlife herds from overgrazing the lands or co-mingling with cattle and ranchers are left to simply do their best to minimize their effects. On our ranch we also work to keep other predators and pests at bay such as coyotes and rabbits. Once again, in small numbers they don’t pose much of a threat, but large masses can impact our operation. Several consecutive winters, we would have colonies of rabbits move into our haystacks, eating the stacks down. During calving seasons, coy-

otes will come in close to the cattle, disturbing the herd and even preying on or killing young vulnerable calves. In the fields, farmers and ranchers deal with pests such as mice, voles, moles, badgers, ground squirrels, just to name a few. These critters ruin the fields, crops and equipment as they dig holes, mound up dirt, chew off roots, and ruin irrigation ditches. Through baiting and trapping, farmers and ranchers can work to keep pest numbers low, but often they are curbed by natural means such as cold winters, sickness and disease. Crops can also be significantly damaged by other pests, insects like grasshoppers, Mormon crickets or black grass bugs that eat the leaves, destroy the growing seeds or cut off the stalks, leaving little of value left to be harvested. Fungal

and microbial pests can also reside in and cause damage to crops in the ground such as potato blight or nematodes. Too little or too much water can substantially affect the degree that these pests will damage crops. These pests can be difficult to see and are most often detected when crops begin to fail. It may be discouraging to list and discuss some of these challenges the agriculture industry faces. All of these natural predators and pests are a part of farming and ranching and always will be. And despite the frustrations they bring, farmers and ranchers will continue to search for solutions to help their herds, lands and crops to remain healthy and productive while keeping wildlife and lands safe and protected as they provide foods to feed our families .

Ag Extension Office Holds Cereal Class

On Wednesday of last week, the University of Idaho Agricultural Extension Office hosted a Cereal Class for grain growers and those interested in local agricultural issues. The event featured a slate of presenters on a variety of issues related to the grain growing and cultivation fields. The event was telecast through Zoom, with participants able to attend the event in person, or remotely. Topics covered included the results of studies into the application of various fertilizers, reports on last year’s growing season, and updates from local organizations. Jared Spackman, a barley agronomist from Aberdeen, presented the results of a field trial utilizing different nitrogen and sulfur applications to barley fields in Aberdeen and Kimberly. The nitrogen and sulfur were added to fields growing various types of barley (malt, feed, and food), and then the yields and protein levels were compared against the types. It was determined that bulk density of the soil played a large factor in the effectiveness of the nutrient applications. The timing of nutrient applications showed no significant

difference in yields for barley, though the protein content was positively affected by split application processes. Spackman advised that taking a bulk density sample and determining the soil’s existing Nitrogen content were critical steps before determining nitrogen application during the growing season. He also suggested that taking water samples to determine current mineral and nutrient content would be a very useful step. Ultimately, he felt his study did not show a strong outcome for split application of Nitrogen and Sulfur. Juliet Marshall, of the University of Idaho, presented on the outlook for diseases affecting cereal grains in the upcoming year. She began her presentation by stressing that the number of Growing Days (which were neither too hot, cold, or wet) had been trending down over the last few years, providing more strain on some crops. She also stressed the importance of crop rotation for maintaining healthy levels of soil nutrients. Marshall’s forecast included the likely presence of Yellow Dwarf Virus for this year, with little chance of Stripe Rust, and the strong poten-

tial for Head Blight in fields which have recently been part of corn rotations. Laura Wilder of the Barley Commission announced that Idaho is still the number one barley producing state in the country, responsible for 37% of the country’s barley supply. Other presentations during the day included Albert Adjesiwor on Herbicide resistant wild oat management, Lucas Spratling from the Idaho Grain Producers with an annual update, Keith Esplin on this year’s water outlook, Ashlee Westerhold on Input Costs Supply Trends, Casey Chamrau from the Wheat Commission, Arash Rashed with an update on aphids and wireworms, Xi Liang on Irrigation Management During Drought, and a discussion of proper herbicide applications. The Ag Extension classes provide a way for experts in various agricultural areas to provide updates to producers across the state about ongoing conditions, new research, and regional situations. Idaho Ag Credit sponsored the morning break, and the Barley Commission sponsored lunch for attendees.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

The Lady Dragons played their final game of the season for their District Play-In game as they faced off against Bear Lake, Tuesday, February 1. Coach Ty Price said of the game, “We had a great 1st half, and were executing the game plan perfectly. We were trying to shut down their post player and we were doing great on her in that first half. We had her frustrated and it was affecting their offense and making other players step up. We struggled a bit on offense ourselves which hurt us in that first half from pulling away from them even more. I was very pleased though with the girls first half defense and effort.” Coach Price continued, “The second half however was not as good for us. We had some defensive struggles at times and that allowed [Bear Lake’s] post player to get rolling offensively. We also couldn't get our shots to go in- we had good looks and they just were not falling. The third quarter was rough and after a couple turnovers that led to points for them, we found ourselves down about 8 and the girls just struggled to get back in it after that. They never gave up though and continued fighting until the end, and I'm proud of that effort.” With the completion of the basketball season for the Lady Dragons, Coach Price shared, “This season was a struggle for the girls in the win column, but I think as the season went on the girls improved and battled hard. There were many games this year that easily could have gone the other way for us if we had good high percentage shots fallen, played 4 full quarters of with effort and confidence, not been missing people due to illness or injury, or had major defensive breakdowns. I truly feel that we could have easily had at least 4-6 more wins had some of those things not happened at key times in games. “These girls fought hard every game though and played until the final buzzer no matter what the score or outcome of the game was. I had several opposing coaches throughout the year tell me how hard they played and how much better they were getting every game. They are an overall young team and that leaves some great potential for the future. I am so proud of their hard work this season, for keeping a great attitude, and for being great teammates. They are great kids with great characters, and that combined with their work ethic will bring them great success in their futures.” Finally Coach Price said, “Thank you to the parents, community, student body, cheerleaders, band, drill team, and the school administration for all of your support us throughout the year. These girls couldn't do it without you and we truly appreciate that so much!” Some overall season stat leaders for the 21-22 team are as follows..... C Y

BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL Dragon fans packed the stands as they supported the MHS students and athletes for the final basketball game of the season against Aberdeen High School. At the close of the game, there was no denying what a terrific night it had been. Fans enjoyed great music from the pep band, impressive dance moves from the drill team, rallying cheers by the cheer teams, a fired up student body and an exciting ball game from the boys basketball team. Seniors of the boys basketball team, the Dragonettes, and cheer team were recognized and commended for their dedication to their teams, their efforts for learning their sport, and for the memories they made throughout their high school careers. The athletes, coaches and fans also joined together in a moment of silence to honor past MHS coach and longtime dragon fan, Bob Sorenson who passed away earlier in the week. The Dragons took to the court to face off against the Tigers having previously faced them in late January. From the tip off the game was aggressive on both ends of the court. The play was dominated by a strong defensive game from both teams. It wasn't until there was just under two minutes left in the first quarter when senior Jace Williams pulled up and hit a three pointer to finally put Malad on the scoreboard. As the quarter came to a close, the score was Malad 3 to Aberdeen 7. The Dragons were quick to come out and score in the second quarter Jace Williams shooting again from behind the arc. As the players began to drive to the basket, they could see how Aberdeen was slow to collapse in to cover the key, giving Malad opportunities to get a shot off. Malad’s defense was top notch as they played throughout the night, spreading Aberdeen thin across the court. They were quick to cover the inside with the first sign of key penetration, making the Tigers work for every chance to score. As the second quarter began to wind down, the intensity of the game went up. Riley Cluff

Jace Williams lays it in

dominated the game on the block, keeping Aberdeen from scoring and grabbing all rebounds within reach. His teammates stepped up as well, causing Aberdeen to take rushed shots and forcing turnovers. With only a minute left in the half, the Dragons were working the ball around when Baylor Bean found Braylin Tripp open on the block. Braylin went up for the shot and missed after being fouled, putting in his two shots from the free throw line. The team went on defense and began to anticipate the Tiger’s play. Braylin took a chance and jumped in, stealing Aberdeen’s pass out to the wing. He took off down the court only to be pushed and fouled from behind. The Dragons inbounded the ball and quickly passed it around the arc when Jace Williams found an opportunity to drive to the basket to work in a short jump shot for two points and to tie the game up with ten seconds left in the half, leaving the score Malad 13 Aberdeen 13. Malad got scrappy as play continued in the second half. Bridger Bastian defensively covered the court well, causing chaos wherever he played, whether it was making Aberdeen pick up the ball early coming down the court, trapping deep into the corner, picking up steals on a Tiger fast break and sneaking in for the weak side rebounds. The team’s hard work kept Aber-

deen on their heels and slowed their offensive game. Malad’s scoring was slow throughout the third quarter as well. Jace Williams once again drove into the key, working around the defense to lay the ball up off the glass for another two points. On Aberdeen’s next possession, Malad again stole the ball for another quick two points. The Dragon’s closed out the half by bringing the score to Malad 20, Aberdeen 24 as Braylin Tripp hit a three pointer with less than a second left. Dragon fans were on their feet as the last quarter play began. The boys team had been playing an energizing game, a game with fight, aggression and confidence that only got more exciting through the final quarter. Early on Baylor Bean was fouled as he drove to the basket and attempted to lay the ball in, scoring as he shot from the free throw line. Bidger Bastian, also scored for the Dragons as he was fouled bringing the ball down the court. MHS spirit and grit flooded the gym as the team, cheered on by their fans, made some big stops and sent a clear message to Aberdeen that they would fight to the end. As Jace Williams was defending deep in the key, he blocked Aberdeen’s shot to take it back down into Dragon territory. Baylor Bean was passed the ball in the corner where he drove the baseline past Aberdeen defenders to bank it in for another

JV AND C TEAM

C Boys’ Basketball team ends home season with a win

The Malad High School C Boys’ Basketball team ended their 2021-2022 season of home games on Friday, February 4, with a final win in Malad. The Dragons were able to defeat Aberdeen that night. The C team started out with the lead early, pushing out to a 7 – 1 lead by the end of the first quarter. By the end of the second quarter, Malad was leading by a slim 13 -12. In the second half of the game, the Dragons C Y

were not able to keep pace with Aberdeen, trailing 19 – 21. But Malad rallied and controlled the ball at the end of the game to take the win at 41 – 34. The Junior Varsity team started out with the lead. They found hard and were leading Aberdeen 24 – 22 at half time. But in the second half, Malad found themselves trailing 28 – 35 to end the third quarter. They could not rally back and lost to Aberdeen 35 – 50.

Earlier in the week, on Wednesday, February 2, both the C and JV teams fell to Bear Lake at Bear Lake. The final regular season game for both teams is tonight, Thursday, February 10, when they make the trip to Soda Springs. The C team will play just one half of a game, beginning at 4:45. The JV will follow at 5:30 and the Varsity will finish off the regular season that night at 7:00 p.m.

two points. One minute later, Malad again swatted away the Tiger’s attempt to score and take it down to put points on the dragon scoreboard. With time ticking down the Dragons continued to fight but struggled to catch the Tigers, Aberdeen eventually winning 39 to 32. Following the game, the coaches and athletes had a lot to share about the game. Coach Tony Gibbs said, “I couldn’t be more proud of the boys and the efforts they

made tonight. They left everything out on the court and did a great job. It was a great last game for the season.” Coach GIbbs had been stressing to the team throughout the season how important it was for them to be learners of the game, constantly studying their own play and their opponents. He could see them doing just that throughout the game as they worked to break down Aberdeen’s press, find ways to create scoring opportunities

and to tighten up their defense. The players commented on what a fun game it was to play. The energy and fun didn’t just come from what was happening on the court but also by the rallying spirit the fans brought to the game. The students of the pep band, cheer and drill teams, the ESPN spoof sports reporting crew along with those cheering along in the stands helped to make this a game to remember.
