First Semester Honor Roll, Valedictorian, Salutatorian and Cumulative Senior Honor Roll Released Malad High School Principal Michael Corbett recently announced academic honors for the first semester of 20212022 school year, as well as the graduating Seniors top 10% and 25%. In addition, Samuel Pickett was named the Class of 2022 Valedictorian, and Colton Ihler was named the Class of 2022 Salutatorian. The first semester Honor Roll includes the highest GPA earners across the school's grade levels, at the 10 and 25 percent levels. Excelling at school over the course of the semester has been especially noteworthy, as Idaho schools transition back to relative normalcy after the disruptions of the previous semesters impacted by COVID. “These are some of the best—and also most mischievous—students I’ve had the privilege of meeting,” Corbett says, with clear pride. “They’re all clearly leaders, and on their way to a lot of success in life.” The Graduating Class is also represented in the accompanying pictures by the Valedictorian Sam Pickett, Salutatorian Colton Ihler, and the Top 10 and 25 percent GPA earners over the full course of their high school careers.

Salutatorian (from “to greet”) is a designation for the second highest academic recognition, and is usually awarded to a student with similarly strong academic performance, as well as a noted ability for written and spoken commu-
nication skills. Typically, the salutatorian speaks first at a graduation event, while the valedictorian provides the final speech, or valediction. Colton Ihler plans to serve an LDS mission after graduation, and then decide which of several schools he would like to

Mayor and Council Meet with Architects to Discuss Plans for the Co-op Building On Tuesday night, the Malad City Mayor and council members held a special meeting to consult with architects from Myers Anderson, an architectural firm located in Pocatello that specializes in historic buildings. Richard Creason, the principal architect and Latecia Herzog, architect, were called in to help with the project by Jerry Myers, the owner of the firm, who has since retired. Myers will continue to act as a consultant on the project. In October of 2018, the Malad City Council approved the purchase of the historic building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, from the Don
Evans family. The building started as a oneroom log house facing Main Street in 1865 and was later formed into a cooperative, becoming a branch of Zion’s Cooperative Mercantile Institution (ZCMI). It was enlarged three times. In 1892, a red brick building was built in an “L” shape around the original building, and in 1903 the Main Street building was expanded, and the log building was torn down. In 1907, the “flat iron” building was built to fill the block. Creason explained to the council that many people believe that it is not a wise decision to try to preserve old buildings. However, he
disagrees, indicating that these old buildings were built to last. They may require a sizeable initial investment, but in the long run he believes that they are less expensive. Herzog said that in those areas that are tearing down their old buildings, they are being replaced with buildings that will only last for 30 to 40 years. Mayor Joan Hawkins met with Jerry Myers, Creason and Herzog in early February where she provided information for the formation of plans that were presented to the council during MALAD ACADEMIC TEAM On Page 8
The city and architects from Myers Anderson hope that the old Co-op building will provide a new home for the city offices

Generations of Hess Family to be featured at Evening of the Arts One of the most artistic families to have lived in Malad will be featured at the 9th annual Evening of the Arts. The late Lois Price Hess, her daughter, the late Rosemary Hess and her son Don Lee Hess have shared their artistic talents with Malad Valley for over 75 years. Lois Lorraine Price Hess was born in McCammon and graduated from McCammon High School. She married Marion J. Hess of Malad in 1939. Writing poetry was her first artistic love until she took up drawing and oil painting. Although she created many conventional and pastel oil paintings, her favorite projects (and the ones for which she is most remembered) were large paintings for backdrops for stage plays. Her large backdrops were used for church road shows, Gold and Green Balls and high school proms. She is probably best known for the 12’ x 20’ canvas murals she created for the Malad Centennial Pageant to show the history of Malad. To paint these large masterpieces, she would hang two or three bed sheets on the clothesline. She would draw the basic outlines of the focus of the picture, transfer the drawings to canvas, and then get out cans of spray paint, finishing up with all sizes of brushes. She taught several people in Malad how to draw and paint in oils. She and Marion had
five children: Marvin, Rosemary, Don Lee, Kathleen and LaReta. Lois died in 1991. As the oldest daughter in the Hess family, Rosemary became a talented oil painter as she learned from her mother, who was also her best friend. Rosemary graduated from Malad High School and then from Brigham Young University with a degree in home economics. She taught school in Leadore, Idaho; Douglas, Arizona; and Wendover, Utah. After retiring from Logan Regional Hospital, she moved back to Malad. Rosemary loved painting, needlework, quilting and cooking. Her porcelain dolls and paintings filled her home. Her oil paintings were known for their careful detail and realism. Rosemary died in 2001. Don Lee admits that he took up oil painting very late in life after watching his mother and sister paint. He enjoys painting landscapes, nature and wildlife. Don Lee graduated from Malad High School, where he was a student body officer and participated in track, baseball and football. He served an LDS mission in Southern Australia, where he learned to appreciate the artistic talents of the people and the beauty of the country. He graduated from Brigham Young University and immediately left for California to complete his military basic training for the U.S. Army. Of his art, Don Lee says,

“I’ve never claimed an exceptional talent in painting or anything else for that matter, but it’s worth my efforts to be involved in positive and worthwhile applications of life’s arts.” The Evening of the Arts will provide a rare opportunity to see some of the oil paintings of Lois, Rosemary and Don Lee Hess. Other artists to be featured that evening are Bob Crowther, Annie and Cody Brower, Tony McClain and Linda Lundquist. The students of Dianne Adams, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade art students of Christy Oja and Malad Middle and High School art students of Krystal Tavoian Fonnesbeck will also display their works of art. The culinary arts students of Sarah Robbins will provide refreshments. Admission to the

Welsh Society Celebrates St. David's Day Although it is not a public holiday in the U.S., or even the U.K., March 1st is the Feast Day for St. David, the patron saint of Wales. He is certainly celebrated by members of the Welsh Society, who met at the library in observance of the day, and to further cement plans for this year’s Welsh Festival. Saint David (c 500c 589) was a Welsh bishop during the 6th century. He was born in Wales, and is one of the best documented of the early church saints, although the exact year of his birth is unknown. He is believed to be the son of Saint Nonna, and the grandson of Ceredig ap Cunedda, King of Ceredigion. David was primarily renowned as a preacher and teacher, and is credited with founding numerous churches and monasteries across Wales. The observance of St. David’s day corresponds with the conventionally observed day of his death, on the first of March. Throughout his ministry, David was most associated with opposition to Pelagianism (the belief in original sin), and he taught that C Y
M K
children were born innocent and that the sins of individuals could not be blamed on others. His most well-known miracle (one of the requirements for canonization and sainthood), involved a hill growing up underneath him to facilitate a sermon in Llandewi Brefi. A dove (which became one of his symbols) is said to have alighted on his shoulder during the subsequent sermon. As a monastic leader, he instructed those who followed him to use no animals in their plowing, to eat only bread with salt and herbs, and to retain no personal possessions. As a result of his ascetic piousness, St. David was often referred to as the “Water Man” for his abstention from alcohol and rich food. One of the other symbols associated with St. David is the Leek, which, along with the Daffodil, has become a national symbol of Wales. According to legend, St. David ordered Welsh soldiers to identify themselves by wearing leeks on their helmets during a battle in the sixth century against the Saxons. This led to a mytho-histori-
cally great victory. It is said that the battle took place in a leek field and was known as the Battle of Crecy. David was buried at St. David’s Cathedral in Pembrokeshire, where a shrine was placed in his memory. It was a popular place of pilgrimage throughout the Middle Ages, but during the 10th and 11th centuries, the Cathedral was raided by Vikings who removed the shrine and stripped off the precious metal adornments. In 1275 a new shrine was constructed. A ruined base of that shrine is still in existence today. St. David is celebrated by the Catholic church, and has become associated over time in the United States with members of the Presbyterian faith, which is an offshoot of the Reformed Protestant tradition derived from the Church of Scotland. Many early Welsh immigrants were members of the faith, and perpetuated the remembrance of St. David in their communities. Most of the Malad Valley’s earliest Welsh immigrants were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, but the val-

ley has had a long history of Presbyterianism as well, including one of the oldest documented churches of the faith in the region, which will feature prominently in this year’s Welsh Festival, as will the 2nd Ward building of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Welsh Society discussed the final schedule for this year’s event, which will include photo and family history displays, musical performances, a quilt show, events in Samaria, poetry com-
petitions, wagon tours, and several concerts and church services. After a meal of traditional Welsh bread, the Welsh Society viewed a video about the Nebraska town Wymore which also has a long history of pioneering Welsh families. The video showcased the effect Welsh settlement had on the long term makeup of the town, and the cultural traditions and values that are still in place as a result. Those in attendance commented on the many similarities between the town and
Malad, and also suggested some of the ways Malad might increase its promotion of Welsh identity. After the loss of an in-person event for the Welsh Festival in 2020 and 2021, the Welsh Festival Committee is excited to return to the full slate of events enjoyed in the past. Most events will be at the Malad City Park and 2nd Ward building and Samaria, with the evening program at the Presbyterian church.

Stone Elementary’s Seuss-tastical Readers The students of Stone Elementary celebrated Read Across America Day, a day dedicated to the encouragement and promotion of childhood reading. Read Across America Day is celebrated on the birthday of the famous children’s author, Theodore Seuss Geisel, most commonly known as Dr. Seuss. With his stories of “Green Eggs and Ham,” “The Cat in the Hat,” “Hop on Pop,” “Mr. Brown Can Moo. Can you?” and so many, many more, Dr. Seuss opened up a whole new world to his young readers. Among his wacky words and creative characters are life lessons
of acceptance, taking a stand, trying new things and the importance of honesty and integrity, just to name a few. Students came to school ready to snuggle up with a good book with their pjs on and their favorite story-time books in their backpacks. Visitors including Superintendent Mr. Abrams, parents, siblings, grandparents and friends were invited to join the students for the afternoon’s story-time with a sweet side of doughnuts. While books from Dr. Seuss’s were the highlight of story-time, many other favorite books were shared from teachers and stu-
dents alike. Many of the beginning readers showcased their new reading talents simply by reading the sight words they have been working so hard to learn. Regardless of the books, the readers, their ages or skill, everyone enjoyed the chance to get wrapped up in a good book. The importance of reading is all too often underestimated. The truth is that reading is a gateway to a broader world. Many ask, why is reading important? Years of experience and studies have proven that reading can expand the mind, improve comprehension and concentra-
tion and can even reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s. Reading allows for greater perspectives, greater analytical skills, greater creative thinking and ultimately greater knowledge. Reading by the numbers: Reading for only six minutes a day reduces stress by 68%. Children with a home library of at least 20 books have been found to achieve three more years of schooling than children that don’t. Reading for 20 minutes a day adds up to reading 1,800,000 words in a year. Reading one book each

day to your child will add up to 1825 books by their 5th birthday. Reading exposes chil-
dren to 72% more unique vocabulary words than conversation alone does.
Time for Another Change: Daylight Savings as an Ag Issue By Allison Eliason
As much as no one wants to lose an hour of their day, especially an hour of sleep, the change to daylight savings time can be seen as a benefit to those of the farming and ranching community. Winding and unwinding the clocks is altogether frustrating and annoying in so many ways, but ag producers firsthand see some benefits of springing ahead. Seasonal time changes have had a history of starting and stopping only to be introduced again. All along the way, farmers and ranchers have been against adjusting the clock, although somewhere along the way the story got flipped-flopped, reporting that time changes were to give them more hours in the day to use for farming. The time shift was
and is still difficult for ag producers. Dairies have had the greatest difficulties with time changes. Milk trucks always come to collect the milk at the same time each day regardless of when the cows are ready to be milked. With the loss of that early morning hour, farmers would often struggle to get their crops to market early enough. It also meant getting less out of their hired help. Farmers and ranchers' opinions of the time change is the same today as when the debate first began- pick a time and stick with it. So which time is the best when it comes to farming and ranching? Honestly that can be a toss up. The sun will be shining the same number of hours whichever way the clock is set. But how it coincides with the “normal” hours
of working and sleeping makes life a little more convenient. Not sure what I mean? Let me explain from a rancher's perspective. Over the summer months we move our cattle across the range from pasture to pasture as a part of feed and grazing management. Cattle move best in cooler temperatures or at least in not in the outright heat of the day. And I agree with them. Sitting in the beating sun as the temperature peaks on those long summer days can be brutal. So for both our sakes, we wake up in the wee hours of the morning to move cows when there is enough light to make our way but not too late to be getting hot. Without the shift of daylight savings time, that wake-up alarm would be ringing closer to 4 or 5 a.m. instead of 5 or 6 a.m.

Not recommended reading for parents and kids. By Dotty Thorpe Evanson I just spent two days on bleachers cheering for Malad’s fourth grade girls’ basketball team. I do not like bleachers, but the ride home made the two-day tournament all worth it. A couple of Hadley’s friends, KaDee and Becca, piled in the car with us for the trip home. Becca, the tallest girl on the team, who plays post is usually good for a quote or two, and she did not dis-
appoint. “My goal this year was to become the point guard for our team,” Becca says. “Oh, really, but you are so tall,” I reply. “Well, after this tournament I’ve decided I really love playing post, really love it,” she responds. “And I want to be in the WNBA by the time I’m 100.” By the time she’s 100! I have more time than I thought to reach my goals. The girls continued discussing their
practice plans for the off season, which included daily baskets so they could reach 10,000 before next year. Hmmm, seems they understand it takes work to make your goals. Work toward a goal fills your days with purpose, provides time with friends and brings joy. Just think how they are going to feel when they hit 10,000 baskets. Thank you, Becca, KaDee and Hadley for teaching us how to have a Good Life!

It might not seem like getting up one hour earlier should make that much difference, but when you keep working into the evening hours it can be hard, day after day can become long and hard. With the sun going down a whole hour earlier we might manage to still get the same amount of sleep, only if we tell ourselves it’s time for bed. But it might be more realistic to admit that we would find more work to be done inside and we would ultimately hit the pillow at the same time. Of course, many careers and job shifts ask people to be working at all hours of the day and night and I think that we can all agree that working outside of the “normal” working hours is hard. On the flip side, daylight savings time in the winter months makes for a late morning
start. While farmers and ranchers work in all types of conditions, waiting for the sun to come out and warm things up before heading outside is a common thing. But waiting for the sunshine and warmth until 9 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. would seem to put the day's work behind from the get go. So which time, standard or daylight savings, is best for those in agriculture? It really depends more on how a guy wants his day to look- whether he is OK to turn in early in the evenings for an early morning start or if would rather have more time to use in the evenings. Ag producers across the country will always tell you that they work with the sun. When the sun is up, it's time to get working. As the sun goes down, it’s time to
head in. The cows and crops set their clocks by the sun and as stewards of such, farmers and ranchers do the same. On long summer days, an early start to the day can mean either more work gets done or there’s enough light left for some playtime. Shorter winter days can bring later starts to the day and earlier turn ins, but at the same time it just might mean working into the dark in order to get the day's work done. Adjusting to make it work is always the key. Right now we adjust our clocks in an attempt to keep our workday with the sun. Keeping standard time would make for adjustments just like adopting daylight savings time would. We just keep working while the sun is up and take our best rest when it goes down.

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017) The works of Doug, Dianne and Ryan Adams will be featured during Evening of the Arts, on April 13. As soon as their new house on the Divide is finished, Doug and Dianne Adams and their son Ryan will become official residents of Oneida County. Looking forward to calling Malad home, these nationally recognized artists will be featured at the 6th annual Evening of the Arts, hosted by the Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital Foundation At the March 3 meeting of the RACOONs, President Verdgil Crow opened the meeting by turning the time over to Sheriff Arne Jones, who attended per Crow's invitation. The sheriff talked about his concerns regarding communication dead spots all over the valley. He expressed his opinion that ham radio communications will be a major solution to law enforcement's communication issues in Oneida County. The annual Malad LDS Stake Family History Day, "Beyond the Names" was a great success on Saturday, March 4. The events of the day were under the direction of Gene and Sandy Jones and the Stake Temple and Family History consultants. With President Matt Wray conducting and after a musical number presented by Debra Clark, "I'll Keep The Chain Unbroken", Sandy Jones introduced Ron Tanner, a group product manager for the Family History Department for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints, who was the keynote speaker. His thoughtful and humorous presentation explained why family is so important. He told personal stories of his own family history and how it has changed his life. Malad High School's girls' basketball team finished an amazing season with the second-place trophy from the 2A Idaho State Girls' Basketball Tournament.
They also had four of their players selected as members of the 2A Fifth District All-Conference Team. The All-Conference Team is selected by the coaches of the fifth District at the 2A division. Hanah Peterson was named to the First Team. Emmah Peterson, Sadie Simpson, and Shawnee Simpson were all given Second Team honors. 10 YEARS AGO (2012) The fourth class of inductees to the Oneida County Hall of Fame has been selected and will be honored at the 2012 Hall of Fame banquet. Ralph R. Harding, former United States Representative from Idaho, will be honored for his public service. Colen Sweeten, Jr., will be honored as a nationally acclaimed cowboy poet and for his public service. Cameron Watkins has been selected as the valedictorian and Carlie Stewart was named the salutatorian for the Malad High School Class of 2012 with Commencement Exercises that will be held May 23. The top 10 percent for the Class of 2012 includes Cameron Watkins, Carlie Stewart, Jacob Stevens, Chris Austin and Moriah Ihler. Placing in the top 25 percent are Cameron Watkins, Calvin Garrett, Carlie Stewart, Debra Evans, Amanda Murphy, Moriah Ihler, Hope Murray, Jess Blaisdell, Jacob Stevens, Chris Austin, Dallas Degn and Ben Leneghen. On February 25, the General Relief Society President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Julie B. Beck, spoke to a capacity crowd in the Malad Stake Center. In her amusing and humble way, Sister Beck spoke words of encouragement to the women of the Malad, Idaho Stake and visitors from around the area. 15 YEARS AGO (2007) Allen Drug and Variety will be hosting an Open House to honor Dorothy Stayner for her
many years of dedicated employment. Dorothy officially retired the first of the year then spent time with relatives in California before returning to Malad. Dorothy stated working at the drug store the year after she got out of high school. At that time, it was the R.V. Daniels Drug, owned by R. V. and Grace Daniels. She quit for a time following her marriage to Milo Stayner, but later when Virginia Greer quit, Mr. Daniels asked her to come back. As a retirement gift, Dorothy is being given a trip to Hawaii. Nine firemen, Doug Crowther, Geoff Green, Ray Davis, Derrick Howes, Jerry Thomas and Rob Hess from Malad, Shad Nalder and Lamont Kotter from Holbrook, and EMT Dusty Edwards were among the 500 Southeast Idaho Volunteers who participated in the Southern Idaho Fire Academy at Paul on February 16, 17 and 18. Every year in February, this annual program offers fire, EMS and extrication classes for volunteers from Burley to Bear Lake. To kick off the Ag Week celebration, Malad High School’s FFA members spent Monday educating Malad Elementary students about farm life. The students could see pigs, pigeons, chickens, goats, a horse, a bottle-fed calf, a milk cow and calf and sheep. They also had a chance to throw a stick to a working cow dog that would quickly retrieve the stick and get it back to the student. 25 YEARS AGO (1997) The Malad Dragons medaled five wrestlers in the A-3 Division finals at the 1997 State Wrestling Championships held at the Holt Arena in Pocatello. Senior Jared Robbins is the State Champion in the 145-weight division. Other medal winners were Juniors Eric Buehler, Brian Schow, second place runner-ups; Senior Layne Richins, placed third; and Ju-
nior, Clint Price, placed fourth. Three Malad Elementary students emerged winners in the 1997 Americanism Essay Contest, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. The Auxiliary holds the contest annually in February, in conjunction with Americanism Month. Jesse Dredge received 1st place; Ashlee Alder 2nd and Levi Christiansen 3rd out of fifteen contestants who read their essays at a special American Legion meeting. Jean Schwartz was contest coordinator. Malad residents got an unexpected visit from Kuba and Helen Beck, whose experiences as Jews in Nazi Germany were recounted in Stephen Spielberg’s movie, “Schindler’s List”. The Becks took an hour and a half recounting their stories, which were interesting but very sad. They have spoken to many audiences throughout the nation. With great emotion, they paid tribute to Schindler for saving their lives. They ended by wishing everyone the “hope of a bright future, and peace.” 35 YEARS AGO (1987) Oneida County Hospital Administrator Jim Russell has confirmed that the county-owned Malad Valley Living Center is for sale. To date two possible buyers have expressed interest in the home, but hospital officials say that there has been no positive action taken yet by either one of them. Eastern Idaho cities and counties that received electric service from Utah Power and Light are being urged to hold advisory elections to determine if their residents would rather be served by Idaho Power. By comparison, an Idaho Power residential customer using 1,000-kilowatt-hours pays $42.21 while a Utah Power customer using the same amount pays $57.78 in the winter and $75.53 in the summer. Jackie Pfeiffer has replaced Ann Erickson as
Oneida County Public Health Nurse. She officially assumed duties on March 2. Students in the 4th, 5th and 6th grades at Malad Elementary recently participated in a “Design A Stamp” Contest sponsored by the Malad City Post Office. Chosen winners were Dee Dee Parry, 6th grade, Forest Thomas, 5th grade, and Cody Davis, 4th grade. The youngsters were awarded stamp-collecting kits for prizes. Elena Pincock and Marlene Peterson served as judges of the contest. It was coordinated by Postmaster Larry VanderMeer and Postal Clerk Jim Jones. Altogether 145 entries were submitted to the Post Office for judging. 45 YEARS AGS (1977) A 70-year old landmark, damaged by the 1975 earthquake is being razed this week at Malad. The young folks of the town are saying, “there goes the old Townhouse Apartments.” Their parents are saying, “there goes the first Oneida County Hospital.” The grandparents are saying, “there goes the Old Peck Hotel.” And the few great-grandparents left around town are saying, “that’s not the Old Peck Hotel, that’s the New Peck Hotel.” The two-story red brick building was built about 1907 and stood on Bannock Street, facing north at the intersection with Main. Meeting Monday morning, directors of the Malad Chamber of Commerce elected Terrill Schwartz as president and Bob Christopherson, vice-president, of the 43-member organization. Serving as 1977 directors are Michael Broadhead, Bob Dorius, Larry Dives, Wayne Budge, Elton Ashton, Dennis Thomas, Marvin Hess and Dale Price. Dale Ward has been selected from a field of eight applicants to serve as deputy for the Oneida Sheriff’s department. Ward started police duties reviewing files and deskwork at the court-

this meeting. The plans included the basement, which would be used for storage; the main floor, which would provide for the city clerk’s office, restrooms and areas for commercial lease; and the upper floor that would include the city council chambers, a public meeting room and commercial lease space. Initially the council had planned that the entire main floor would be for city offices and council chambers. Because of the layout of the building and the pillars on the main floor, Herzog explained that a C Y

better plan would be for the council chambers to be on the upper floor. This will require that the space that contains an old freight elevator be used for a modern elevator. The portions made available for lease on the main and upper floors, will provide funds to maintain the building. Also initially, the council had determined that the first phase of renovating the building would be confined to the main floor. However, Herzog told the council that is not a wise decision. The entire building should be considered in the renovation so that renovations that are ini-
tially made are not torn out to accommodate additional renovations on the upper floor. The council pointed out some minor changes they would like to see made in the plans, including restrooms added to the upper floor as well as the lower floor, and a hallway to extend through the entire building on the lower floor. In the council meeting to be held on Wednesday, March 9, the council will provide any additional changes they would like made in the plans. Creason and Herzog will then provide final plans, which can be made public. They assured the
council that the final plans could be modified slightly afterwards as the project moves along to completion. At the time the city receives a final set of plans, they will actively start pursuing grants. The city has had the roofs of both the hardware portion of the building and the main portion of the building replaced. With the help of Jean Thomas, they applied for and received a grant that repaired the foundation of the building. The mayor is currently in contact with a company in Salt Lake City that specializes in removing paint from old
brick with plans to have the wood portions on the outside replaced and repaired and the outside of the building re-painted.

Sheriff Wharton worked with his new deputy in the patrol car, training him on accident investigations, forms and citations and other daily enforcement activities. 55 YEARS AGO (1967) More than 200 high school students from the Intermountain West who have made outstanding records in science and the humanities will gather at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City for the Fifth Annual Intermountain Junior Science and Humanities symposium. Delegates from Malad High School will include David Corbridge, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elden Corbridge and Nick Sorensen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Myron Sorensen. Tryouts for the American Legion Auxiliary’s Girl State, to be held at Nampa will be held on March 14th at the American Legion Building. Following are the candidates: Suzanne Laws, Colleen Pilgrim, Jan Moon, Jeanetta Williams, Brenda Ipsen, Wendy Hess, Janice Jones, Christine Williams, Pattie Smith, Jill Bolingbroke, Hanna Gae Atkinson, Sherrie Sweeten, Donnette Eliason, Julie Byrd, Linda Kay Williams, Julie Parry, Janet Corbridge and Margaret Bush.

Malad Elementary Happenings The fourth and fifth graders presented their invention convention in February. It was fun to see all their innovative ideas and learn how they would create them in the real world. We are now gearing up for Grandparent’s Day. It will be held on March 24 from 9:00 in the morning until lunch time. The grandparents are welcome to visit their grandchildren’s classrooms, attend the school talent show, get pictures taken with their grandchildren, and eat lunch together. They can opt to eat in the school cafeteria or take the children out to eat that day. Further information will be sent home with the students as time gets closer. Each class is working on special projects and things to show their grandparents what they have been learning in school. This is always a fun day at our school, and we have missed having it the last couple of years. The kindergarten students’ goal was to listen and write the sounds heard in words.

Don Evans
June 26, 1944 - March 1, 2022
Don Evans, 77, of Malad, ID took his final earthly journey, this time leaving his pack at home. He was welcomed home by his best hiking buddy, Tank, his Father in Heaven, and many eagerly awaiting family members, on March 1, 2022. Don spent his final days surrounded by those he cherished, his best friend of 54 years always by his side. William “Dairy Don” Evans was born June 26, 1944, in Malad, ID to Mabel Elvira Jensen and Raymond Jones Evans. Don was the youngest of six children. His early life was spent working on the family farm, participating in scouts and exploring the hills that surrounded him. Don took any opportunity to camp out and sometimes even invite a scout leader and turn it into a scout trip. He excelled in scouting from an early age and at age 13, would earn his Eagle. It seems only natural that camping/ hiking and scouting would be activities he would carry on throughout his life. During Don’s years in high school, he was very active in FFA, band and seminary. Don graduated MHS in 1962. From there, he attended Utah State University until taking a break to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served the Southwest Indian mission as a zone leader where he developed a deep appreciation for the native heritage. Don returned home and returned to school, transferring to Idaho State University after a year. He studied agriculture/forestry and business and was enrolled in the ROTC during his time away at school. While attending ISU, Don met his future wife. The couple hit it off and began dating. A short time later, Don was drafted to the Army where he was sent to Fort Ord. As a Private, he was classified as “Sharpshooter”. He was there just a short time before being sent home following an injury that left his father unable to manage the family home and farm. Don returned to the farm his great-grandfather had homesteaded. After about a month, Don started the process of purchasing the farm from his father and that was where he spent the rest of his life. He also started the process of starting his family and his legacy. In June 1970, Don married Christine Croshaw in the Logan LDS temple. The two spent a week on a camping trip and upon their return, Don headed out for a weeklong scouting trip at Red Fish lake, a spot that would always be on his “favorites” list. Don spent his life involved in scouting and camping. You will find men in every generation younger than Don throughout the valley who

have very fond memories of these activities with him. Nearly all of Don’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren have been able to experience multiple trips to the outdoors with him. Memories they will all hold close to them, experiences that are invaluable. A highlight for him was a 4 generation backpacking trip in 2020. It was also a heartbreaking trip as it would be the last backpacking trip he would make. Nearly 10 years ago, Don received a diagnosis that would change his life. Cancer would be a battle for him. However, he didn’t let it pull him down. He didn’t dwell on it. As he was doing better, Chris was diagnosed with her own cancer. It was his turn to stand by her, to worry incessantly. His worry for her never ceased, even as his cancer progressed and took its toll. Don’s focus was on spending quality time with his family and friends, and in serving the Lord. He did both of these things in countless ways throughout the rest of his days. Don is survived by Chris, his wife and best friend of 51 years and their 4 children; Melissa (Glen) Fuhriman of Santaquin, UT, Jennifer (Jacob) Martinez of Clinton, UT, Elizabeth (Andrew) Baldwin of Blackfoot, ID, and Andrew (Christine) Evans of Wellington, CO; 14 grandchildren (4 spouses) and 7 great-grandchildren; a sister Nedra Preece and a brother Raymond Evans. Don was preceded in death by his parents and 2 sisters; Wilma Fridal and Marcia Daugherty and 1 brother, Robert Evans. Don was our compass. We will miss him terribly until we can be together again. Funeral services were held on Wednesday, March 9, 2022 at 12 noon in the Malad LDS 7th Ward Chapel. Viewings were at the Horsley Funeral Home, Tuesday from 7-8 pm and Wednesday from 10:3011:30 a.m. prior to the service.

Gas Prices Rise Across Nation; Expected to Increase While Idaho continues to have one of the lowest average gas prices in the country, the per gallon cost saw a significant increase last week, and most experts expect to see a further increase as the conflict in Europe continues. Russian gas, which has been the subject of international sanctions since its invasion of Ukraine last week, is responsible for a small amount of the fuel used in the United States. According to Energy Reports, Russia is responsible for only 200,000 barrels of the 8 million used every day across the U.S. However, any time the fuel market becomes volatile, as it is now, the price of oil increases. Countries with large oil holdings tend to hedge their reserves against future shortages, and countries that purchase large amounts of oil tend to try to stockpile it before the price rises even further, creating a perfect storm for inflated prices.

Monday of last week, prices in the U.S. saw an average increase of 23 cents a gallon, with Idaho being no exception. Prices have increased another 20 cents on average across Idaho as the week begins, with some fluctuation. As an example, Pocatello had an average price of $3.49 on 2/28, an average of $3.64 on 3/4, and an average of $3.99 on 3/8. Malad stands at an average of $3.89 as of 3/8. Generally, the first few months of the year
are the cheapest for gas prices, with low demand and fuel mixture types creating the best conditions for consumers. Summer is traditionally the most expensive for basically the opposite reasons, followed by a decrease in September. Many analysts are expressing honest uncertainty about how the situation is likely to play out over the course of this year, given the unstable geopolitical environment, though most expect the prices to increase in the near-term regardless.

Good Fences Make Good Neighbors By Allison Eliason
An estimated 8,500 cattle ranches and farms raise more than 2.5 million head of beef cows and calves across the state. Most of those operations are small, independently owned, multi-generational family businesses. In 2017 Idaho ranked 11th among all states in cattle and calf sales, valued at $1.8 billion. Beef production is the number two revenue producing agribusiness behind the dairy industry in Idaho. We can clearly see that cattle play an important part of Idaho’s agriculture industry and economy as well as an important role in the livelihood and legacy of thousands of Idaho’s cattlemen and women. Cattle do come with their own challenges that can affect more than the ranchers and farmers that own or manage them. Cattle that have made it past the fences can wreak havoc on other farm ground, roadways or private lands. Most of the time, cattle are easy to manage so long as they have feed to eat, water to drink and good fences to keep them in check. Of course, anyone who knows cattle knows that there is always that one ornery cow that will hop a tight strung fence with green grass and a full trough ripe for the taking. When cattle wander and roam into uninvited territories, the ensuing debate is always over who is responsible for keeping them out, the cattle owner or the offended landowner. And the answer is, both. Livestock and land owners have a responsibility to keep and maintain their own property boundary fences in an effort to keep their animals in their proper, designated areas. Not
doing so is careless and reckless, leaving potential harm to their own animals as well as other’s property. But it is also up to other landowners to keep and maintain their own boundary fences. Idaho is deemed a “fence out” state where, “unless in a herd district, it is the duty of landowners to fence livestock out of their land.” In essence it means if someone doesn’t want cattle or other livestock where they don’t belong, that person is responsible to fence them out. It is their responsibility to stop cattle and other livestock from roaming onto their private lands. Throughout Idaho is also deemed “Open Range” land, which is defined as “all unenclosed lands outside of cities, villages, and herd districts, upon which cattle, by custom, license, lease, or permit, are grazed or permitted to roam.” Simply put, any lands outside of city limits, not designated as a herd district and not fenced off is considered to be open range where livestock can legally be on that land. Most of Idaho, especially in the southern regions, are in “Open Range” areas surrounded by rangeland. In fact, approximately 22 million acres of Idaho are “Open Range” with 80% of it federal lands. Federal land employees and permit holders work together to ensure that fences are well maintained but it is impossible to ensure that all fences are intact. This is what necessitates Idaho’s Open Range Law. In addition it states that “no person owning, or controlling the possession of, any domestic animal running on open range, shall have the duty to keep such animal off of any highway on such range [open
range]…” and will not be liable. These statements within the Idaho fencing laws protect livestock owners from any liability when livestock roam despite best efforts to maintain fences and manage herds. This is where we all feel the frustration of cattle and other livestock getting out. As ranchers, we want our cattle to stay where we put them. We know firsthand how annoying it is to find them on a growing crop, the stackyard, or even yards and gardens. We don’t want to have to keep putting them back in any more than someone who wants them off their property, which is why we work to keep fences maintained. In all transparency, not everyone feels this way or works to make sure that fences are kept in good condition. Such attitudes give ranchers and farmers and the industry as a whole, a poor reputation. Understanding the frustrations of the situation on all sides, Senator Mark Harris is working to address and amend the section titled “Careless Exposure of Barbed Wire is Unlawful” of Idaho Open Range Law in an attempt to keep livestock and landowners liable for their responsibility to keep good fences up as a part of keeping cattle in. Currently the law reads that it is “…unlawful for any person, firm or corporation, who having barbed wire or barbed wire fences, to allow the same to be left down or strewn around on the ground in such a manner that livestock are liable to be injured…” The penalty for anyone found in violation is given “up to a $25 misdemeanor.” Senator Harris says, “This is where law enforcement and prosecutors have been frustrat-
ed. No one is going to prosecute a $25 misdemeanor for a broken fence. In addition to this, the language does not allow prosecutors or sheriffs to do much of anything. When confronted by a bunch of horses or cattle on the state highway, sheriffs can not do much but call the owner to get them off.” In an effort to protect landowners, appropriately penalize offenders and grant sheriffs the ability to rectify the situation, Senator Harris has proposed SB1345 that will better define what constitutes an offense, who is the responsible party for fixing the fences and how local authorities will more easily be able to enforce penalties. “Or in disrepair” language and “circumstances likely to injure livestock” language is added to allow law enforcement to enforce the law if they see a broken fence or a fence that does not comply with the law and livestock could be injured in some way. S1345 is written so that livestock must be present for law enforcement to act. Small but significant changes have been added in S1345 to enable sheriff’s to notify the responsible party. Upon official notification, the fence must be repaired within seven days before a penalty can be issued. Previously, the responsible party had ten days to correct the violation. Rather than the $25 misdemeanor, the bill moves to penalize violators with infraction, something more fitting for such an incident.. Senator Harris says, “This will make it simpler for law enforcement to enforce the law if after notification, the fence is not fixed. If those responsible do not comply, then there is a
tiered penalty in the bill that eventually returns to a higher misdemeanor if there is a third violation within 5 years.” The final change adds language such as “or in disrepair” and “circumstances likely to injure livestock” to allow law enforcement to enforce the law if they see a broken fence or a fence that does not comply with the law and livestock could be injured in some way. The bill is written so that livestock must be present for law enforcement to act, keeping the focus on maintaining fences on lands as they are used. This means that fences not in use can’t be cited for being in disrepair. For example, any seasonal grazing pasture that may have broken wires wouldn’t be considered in violation until cattle were in the pasture while the fence was in disrepair. Senator Harris shared, “Some have interpreted “Open Range” to mean that those that own or manage livestock do not have to fix or maintain fences. On the flip side, those that do not own livestock feel they do not need to maintain fences because they do not own livestock. This is not the case. The fact is people not fixing their fences put Idaho’s Open Range Law in jeopardy. He continued, “Does S1345 fix everything? No, it does not, but I believe it is a good start. S1345 Should help those that share a fence with a neighbor that does not fix their half of a boundary fence and it should help law enforcement as they deal with repeat offenders of allowing livestock on state highways. We have all heard the old saying, “good fences make good neighbors”. S1345 is a change meant to protect private property on both sides of the
fence.” The changes Senator Harris proposes aren’t groundbreaking but they do make large strides to keeping the integrity of boundary fences and penalizing those that are in violation. As he said, good fences make good neighbors and each of us have to make sure that we are doing our part to be a good neighbor. The greater part of the responsibility for keeping livestock, property and road ways safe sits with the owners but everyone that lives in rural, agriculture communities has a part to play. Any time you see cattle or other livestock out or fences down, take down any information you can see such as tag colors or brands. Give that information to any local ranchers, farmers or the sheriff’s department so that they contact the appropriate people to get the livestock back where they need to be. In addition to notifying and giving information on livestock that are out, the best help Idahoans can give is being watchful and careful drivers as they travel across the state, especially in areas where cattle are known to graze. With so much wildlife that criss-cross Idaho, drivers should already be watchful for clear roadways. Cattle are a vital part of the industry, economy and legacy of our great state, especially of Oneida County. Senator Harris’s proposed amendments could be a step forward to help reduce harm to livestock, property and individuals by holding those responsible parties accountable for keeping their fences in good condition and penalizing those that don’t. Only time and experience will tell if this will indeed make for better fences and even better neighbors.
