A Typical Idaho Spring In like a lion, out like a lamb. That’s the cliché we all like to associate with March, although to be fair, your mileage will vary based on your experience with the two animals. This past week, however, has been a fair demonstration of the underlying principle. From wildly vacillating temperatures and winds, to the upsetting of events calendars, the season is off to a predictably unpredictable start. While spring doesn’t officially begin until after the weekend, it’s fair to say that the long winter has whetted most people’s appetites for a change.
Snow and mud mingle at the city ballfields as winter hangs on
And so far, the signs have been mixed.

Frost Law The Frost Law is in effect in Oneida County until it is revoked by the county administration. The Frost Law is designed to save wear and tear on the county roadways during the period of thawing, when local road surfaces tend to “soften” due to the expansion and increased flexibility of the asphalt.

Cowboy Poetry Fundraiser Heads to Iron Door Playhouse March 25th and 26th Get ready to enjoy some high quality western entertainment at the Iron Door Playhouse next weekend. Cowboy Poets and Musicians from around the region will be gathered at the playhouse for a series of performances to raise money to repair and replace the theatre’s roof. The organizations involved have members that spread from Oregon to Wyoming, Idaho and Utah. Free performances are scheduled from 1:00 p.m. through 5:00 p.m. on Friday March 25th and Saturday March 26th. The free performances are open to the public, and will feature a variety of music, poetry, and storytelling styles. Performances at 6:30 p.m. through 9:30 p.m. will feature selected acts, and cost $12.00 at the door. An ad in this week’s Enterprise will save $2.00 off the door price. The funds raised
from the event will be donated entirely to the Playhouse for the roof, so come out to support your local theatre. The free events will feature sign up times for those interested. The event will ultimately feature over twenty musicians, poets, and storytellers who are dedicated to the Western tradition of Cowboy poetry in its various forms, as well as the bands Manystrings and Saddlestrings. Brian Arnold, from Hooper, UT will be performing with Saddlestrings, and says that last week’s Cache Valley Rendezvous was a major success for the Cowboy Poetry scene. The band, and the organizers of next week’s event, hope to duplicate the excitement in Malad. “This is something I do just about every chance I get,” he laughs. “We haven’t been up to Malad for a while, but we’re definitely trying
Brian Arnold and Saddlestrings will perform next week at the Iron Door Playhouse
to resurrect the event up there.” Arnold has been involved in both the poetry and music aspects of the events, though he jokes that “I’ve mostly done poetry when I broke a string and had to fill some time.” Modesty aside, Arnold recently won a trophy
buckle for his skills with words, and wide praise for his skills as a musician. “It think it’s all important. We try to preserve the Western way of life through poetry, music, and telling stories. Malad is a perfect place for it,” he says. He has been a fan of the music
since he “bought [his] first tape from Chris LeDoux” and been loving it ever since. He describes his band as covering everything from the same Chris LeDoux to Garth Brooks, and all the country ground in between. Advanced tickets for
the event can be purchased at CWC Video in Malad. The event is sponsored by the American Legion, Cowboy Poets of Idaho, and the International Western Music Association.
worked as a loan officer for 20 years and then as the Malad Branch manager for five years, retiring in 2015. Bob’s interest in photography began when his sister Jan gave him a camera that her photographer husband had used. Bob taught himself the intricacies of this sophisticated camera and became a prize-winning photographer. His yearly trips to Yellowstone convinced him that nature and landscapes were his favorite topics although his grandchildren enjoy posing for him at all family get-togethers. His photographs of local landscapes were selected to decorate the hospital lobby after its
renovation. Bob will join Tony McClain (taxidermist), Don Lee, Rosemary and Lois Hess (oil painting), Cody and Annie Brower (metal casting), Linda Lundquist (oil painting), the students of Dianne Adams (watercolor) and elementary, middle and high school art students at the Evening of the Arts. Donated baskets and other items, including weekend trips, gardening supplies, car maintenance certificates, restaurant coupons, crafts and other gifts for yourself or others will be auctioned that evening in both live and silent auctions.
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT – BOB CROWTHER
Bob Crowther's art will be featured at the upcoming Evening of the Arts
The 9th annual Evening of the Arts will be on Thursday, April 14, from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. at the Events Center at the Fairgrounds. This community event, which features some of the outstanding artists in the area, is sponsored by the Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital Foundation as a fundraiser for the local hospital. All proceeds will go to remodeling patient rooms. One of the excellent photographers in Malad is Bob Crowther, whose works will be displayed at the Evening of the Arts. A native of Malad, Bob graduated from Malad High School in the Class of 1971 and from Brigham Young
University with a degree in business management. After serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Germany, he returned to BYU where he met his wife, Anne Corbridge. He and Anne have five children and 13 grandchildren. The Crowthers recently served for 18 months in the Salem Oregon Mission. After graduating from BYU, Bob worked in retail in Texas before returning to Malad and managing the Idaho Department Store until it closed. He served as the Oneida County Assessor for three years and then was hired as a loan officer for Ireland Bank. He

Got Grasshoppers? By Sawyer Fonnesbeck, University of Idaho Extension-Oneida County Since beginning to work in Oneida county, I have heard stories about how much of a problem the grasshoppers were last year. This has not only been about agricultural land but about personal yards and gardens too. Grasshoppers have been a continual problem in Idaho and are not looking to go away. Grasshoppers and Mormon Crickets are natural parts of the environment, yet these insects can cause severe damage when populations increase to abnormal levels. Infestations usually occur in hot and dry periods or growing seasons immediately after or during a drought. Damage can be done to all types of rangeland and crops such as alfalfa, cereals, corn, potatoes, and grasses. This damage can cause extensive crop and C Y

economic losses to landowners. Due to the threat that these grasshoppers and Mormon crickets can cause to agricultural land, the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) created the “ISDA-Grasshopper & Mormon Cricket Control Program”, which provides resources to farmers and ranchers in the state of Idaho. In years past, this program has provided insecticide bait to eligible farmers and ranchers to help control the spread of these pests. Eligible individuals must have 5 or more acres of “agricultural use land” to apply. In 2020, Oneida county had 18 landowner requests for assistance. In 2021, that number increased to 58 applications for assistance, which was the highest number of applications from a single county in Idaho. What will 2022 bring? I’m not
sure, but with the water situation looking more hard-pressed than we would like, we need to avoid any other problems/ setbacks to ensure that there is a crop to harvest and pasture/rangeland for our cattle to graze. On March 25th at 6PM, the University of Idaho Extension office in Oneida county has invited the ISDA Grasshopper & Mormon Cricket control program coordinator, Kahla Montrose, to come provide information on what this program is and how to apply. This public meeting will be held at the Oneida County Events Center at the fairgrounds. EVERYONE in the community is invited to attend to learn about this program and the problems that grasshoppers can cause in our community. If you had a grasshopper problem last year, put this event on your calendar. See you then!
Spring break might seem like it’s a million year and dozens of degrees off at this point, but for the Oneida County School district, it’s just around the corner. This year’s spring break will be the week of Monday the 28th. Many people have already made appointments to board their pets, visit relatives out of town, and head to warmer climes. But if you plan to be in town—or just aren’t sure what to do—the Ag Extension office is hosting a week’s worth of events to introduce kids to the kinds of activities the 4-H is known for. With Fair season also quickly approaching, it’s never too early to introduce students to the wide range of possibilities presented through the 4-H program. While livestock and animal raising is certainly a large component of the 4-H, there are plenty of arts and crafts, cooking, and other activities that can lead to lifelong interests. Extension Educator Sawyer Fonnesbeck says, “Spring break is a time for family vacations, spring cleaning, and warmer weather. The Oneida County 4-H program will also be holding our INTRO TO 4-H SPRING
BREAK CLASSES. During the week of March 28-April 1st, there will be a variety of classes and opportunities for youth ages 5-18 to come and learn about some of the projects that our 4-H program is involved in. From horses and livestock to knitting and cooking, these classes will introduce kids to the leaders and a glimpse of what they can experience if they join 4-H. ALL youth are invited to attend whether enrolled in 4-H or not.” The week will begin with a presentation by Wildlife Biologist Chris Colt, who will be presenting a hands-on biology workshop. The day will also include an overview of the art of livestocking judging for those planning to enter animals into the fair this season. Tuesday will feature events for younger kids (5-7) to create crafts, and then “Baking with Becky,” where participants can learn to cook crepes and cinnamon sugar muffins. Wednesday, Chris Jensen from Daisy Hollow will be on hand to run a spring craft workshop in the morning, and Christine Oja will be teaching art basics of sketching and watercolor in the afternoon. Thursday, a Building and Design class for r
rocket making will start the day, followed by a Horsemanship class hosted by Ed Brangal and Toni Werk. Friday morning will involve a Livestock project covering basic information related to Beef, Swine, and Sheep. The day will end with “A Quick Knit with Mary Jean.” Some events are free, while others have a time and materials cost from $3-$9 associated with them. See the calendar of events for event specifics. The Extension Office hopes that this event will be a great way to introduce kids who haven’t had much experience with 4-H to the variety of educational and entertaining activities on offer. Kids who are already experienced with 4-H might also use the opportunity to try less familiar activities, or dive deeper into the areas that interest them. Classes will all be held at the Oneida County Extension office at the fairgrounds. See the calendar for more information on what will be provided that week. Those interested are encouraged you to call the Extension office at 208-7662243 or email oneida@ uidaho.edu with any questions or to sign youth up for any of these fantastic events! C Y

District 27 Senator Kelly Anthon visits Malad On Saturday, District 27 Senator Kelly Anthon stopped in Malad for a short visit and to meet some of his new constituents. A few months ago, Joan Hawkins met Senator Anthon at the AIC Legislative Conference in Boise. He contacted her Friday morning and indicated that he was coming through Malad on Saturday and would like to have lunch and perhaps meet some of her friends and neighbors. Hawkins quickly contacted several friends, family and neighbors and hosted a luncheon in her home on Saturday afternoon. Senator Anthon and his wife, Joelle, met informally with about 15 people and spent a few hours visiting and answering questions. Because the legislature is still in session, this trip was scheduled at the last minute; but Senator Anthon indicated that he will be back to Malad to meet more people and give them a chance to meet him. Hawkins indicated to those in attendance that Senator Mark Harris had high praise for Senator Anthon. Because Senator Harris was unable to attend the meeting, she read a text from him that stated: “Out of the senators in Idaho to leave my good people in Oneida County to, Kelly Anthon would be my very first pick. I will add, you can still call me as well. Oneida will always be one of mine.” Kelly Arthur Anthon is a
seventh generation Idaho native raised on a family farm in Declo, Idaho where his family continuously operated a farm for over 100 years. Senator Anthon is a licensed Idaho attorney, attended the University of Idaho’s College of Law where he was elected the college’s student body president and named the College of Law’s 2002 ‘Bistline Scholar’ by the Idaho Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Until 2012 he practiced law at the Rupert law firm of ‘Robinson, Anthon & Tribe’ where, as a partner, he focused on helping local farmers as well as municipal law, debt restructuring, and large business reorganization. He previously served as the appointed City Attorney for the cities of Burley, Rupert, Acequia, and Minidoka, Idaho. At the time of his first appointment, he was the youngest appointed city attorney in the State of Idaho. He stepped away from his law firm to take the position of City Administrator in Rupert, Idaho, a position he currently holds. Fluent in Japanese, he also previously worked as an event coordinator and consultant for Japanese companies. Anthon also currently functions as an intermediary between Idaho, Japanese companies, and the Japanese Consul General stationed in Portland, Oregon. In addition, he directs a large
potato fresh pack company, the Mart Group, as a member of its Board of Directors. In 2013, the Idaho Business Review and the Times News named Mr. Anthon one of Idaho’s 40 most accomplished and influential professionals under the age of 40. He currently serves as a board member with the Southern Idaho Development Organization and as a board member of the Region IV Development Corporation. He has served as an executive board member of the Idaho Municipal Attorney Association and has also worked closely with hospitals in both Minidoka and Cassia Counties where he has served two terms as President of the Minidoka Healthcare Foundation and previously held a seat on the governing board of Intermountain Healthcare’s Cassia Regional Medical Center for ten years. Senator Anthon is a member of his local Rotary Club and previously volunteered with the Boy Scouts of America and the Idaho Department of the American Legion to operate the Gem Boys State program. In 2015, Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter appointed Anthon to fill a vacancy in the Idaho State Senate. He has been re-elected three additional terms and is currently running again for that position. Senator Anthon now serves on the Senate Judiciary Rules

Joelle Anthon and her husband Sen. Kelly met with Malad residents to discuss local issues
and State Affairs Committees. He was also appointed to represent the Idaho State Senate as a member of the Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission. In 2017, after two years in the Senate. He was elected the Majority Caucus Chair by Senate Republicans. Last year, he was chosen by his colleagues to serve as the Idaho Senate Majority Leader. The Senator has been recognized by the Idaho Farm Bureau for his advocacy for Idaho’s farmers, ranchers, and dairymen. The Idaho Food Producers has named Senator Anthon an “Ag All-
star” every year he has served in the legislature based on his pro-agriculture voting. Married to Joelle (Rogers) Anthon from Rupert, Idaho, the couple has five children. Perhaps of interest to some Malad residents, Mayor Hawkins found out that Anthon’s mother was a “Ward”, an ancestor of the George Welton Ward family. All the Malad “Wards” are from this same family. George Welton Ward settled in Willard, Utah; and from there, his children settled throughout northern Utah and southern Idaho.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE declared a rule 80, conflict of interest. I voted no on this bill. There are too many process servers that would abuse this and have abused the rights of citizens. I completely understand the frustration of trying to get people served; however, I will always advocate for personal rights first and foremost. Voting yes on this bill and the passage of it would have made it easier for my business, but that is not the kind of legislator or person that I am. I do not do this for personal gain. HB 683 is a good bill, especially if you have children. It passed the House. This bypasses the requirement to use a public or private driver’s education program and allows parents to teach their kids to drive. It now heads to the Senate. HB 730 failed to pass the House. I always enjoy killing bad legislation. This would have capped renter fees. I will always support the free
market. Government shouldn’t be dictating pricing of any kind. On March 7th, my (and Representative Heather Scott's) bill to end the emergency order passed the House, HCR40. On March 8th, Governor Little announced he is ending the emergency order on April 15th. Coincidence? I certainly don’t think so. The order is ending a month before the primary election, as well. Interesting timing. I also think he is protecting the Senate from the pressure to hear our bill. In his statement, he underlined and put in bold that he did not violate the rights of Idahoans. I spoke on the floor when presenting this bill that the legislature should have stepped in when he shutdown businesses, prohibited gatherings and prevented people from attending church, among the violation of many other rights. I gathered he was responding to my com-
ment. He made the same reply to me a year ago. I don't care how it gets done. This emergency declaration, going on 2 years now, needs to be over! Governor Little made the statement, "Only the governor can lawfully end an emergency declaration." I guess the Governor has a hard time understanding simple language in code or he is being blatantly dishonest. This is taken straight from Idaho code: "The legislature by concurrent resolution may terminate a state of disaster emergency at any time." This is exactly what Representative Heather Scott and I did. When that happens, he is bound by law to end the emergency declaration. So, he is playing games and/or using semantics. Technically, he would be the one to end it, but the Legislature would be forcing him to do so. I co-sponsored House Bill 666 and it passed the
House. The number of this bill is fitting. It prohibits pornographic type materials from being in our school libraries and children’s sections of public libraries. There were examples available to us, that are currently accessible to our children. It was so sensitive it wasn’t allowed on the House floor to be passed out. We had to go into an office to view it, yet it is accessible to our children and promoted in some circumstances. Matters of free speech decisions belong to parents, not schools or government officials. I also co-sponsored HB 675 and this overwhelmingly passed the House by party lines. This prohibits minors from getting a sex change. These bills are now in the Senate, but Pro Tem Chuck Winder is refusing to hear them, and he said the Senate refuses to take up the “craziness of the House.” Are you catching the theme with Chuck Winder and the
Senate overall? Is he a conservative? HB 734 passed the House. This allows parents to opt out of mask mandates at schools for any reason. It is now in the Senate. I certainly support this and never want to see our children forced to wear a mask again. HB 728 passed my committee, the House Commerce and Human Resources Committee. It then went to the floor and passed unanimously. I am also co-sponsor of this bill. This tells Idaho PERSI (Idaho public retirement system) that we expect them to pull investments out of Russia. I understand we have about 10 million dollars invested. Leadership continues to block grocery tax repeal and fuel tax breaks. However, we (liberty legislators) will continue to push it every day. God bless you and your families, Representative Chad Christensen
By Sen. Mark Harris This has been a busy week as we rush to meet the goal of Sine Die on March 25th. The Senate has begun to hold afternoon Floor Sessions to hear, debate, and vote on bills. One bill that has been of interest to Southeast Idaho is House Bill 565 (H565). This bill does away with personal property tax on transient mining equipment. Transient equipment is equipment that can be moved from one location to another location. This would affect most equipment such as loaders, dump trucks, and excavators that are
used in mining operations and specifically gravel pits. The bill is a good idea, however, there is an unintended consequence that especially affected Caribou County. Passage of this bill as it was passed by the House would have created up to a 40% tax shift to all property taxpayers in Caribou County. Our Caribou County Assessor alerted me to this concern and a group of us began working on fixing the problem. With the help of the miners, counties, loggers, contractors, and other interested parties, I was able to amend the bill in the Senate to
include a specific definition of “salable minerals” and the bill will only apply to operations that mine salable minerals, exempting these operations from the tax exemption. Salable minerals include things like sand, gravel, cinders, pumice, limestone, and marble. Phosphate falls under the definition of “leasable” minerals. Other leasable minerals include gas and oil. “Locatable” minerals are things like gold and silver. H565 will not exempt mines that extract locatable or leasable minerals. I was successful in getting the bill amended and passed
the Senate with a unanimous vote. H565 was sent back to the House and hopefully, they will accept the changes. Representative Gibbs and I are also working on a piece of legislation to help our schools in West Side, Oneida, and Preston school districts. Currently, kids in schools with a college certified cosmetology program cannot get the full 640 hours toward the required 1,600 hours that go toward a license if they are under 16-andone-half years old. The change in Senate Bill 1354 (S1354) removes the restrictive language
and allows all juniors and seniors who are enrolled in the program to acquire the hours needed
to complete their course. The bill passed the Senate and was sent to the House for consideration.

JOB OPENING
By Rep. Chad Christensen Dear District 32 Constituents, House Bill 684 deals with free speech on college campuses. We shouldn’t have to vote on this type of legislation. The Bill of Rights already covers this issue. However, some colleges have a hard time understanding the U.S. Constitution. This will get rid of free speech zones and current prohibitions of free speech in all public areas on college campuses. It allows a path for holding entities accountable for violating the practice of free speech. Currently, many conservative students fear retribution for exercising their free speech. This passed the House. House Bill 623 would make it so legal document process servers cannot be charged with trespassing. This failed to pass the House. I still operate my business doing investigation work and process serving. I

Lessons from Ranch Life By Allison Eliason
For nearly a hundred years, the Eliason cattle have calved out in Locomotive, just north of the Great Salt Lake. Early on they learned that these range acres had little snow, great feed and plenty of space for the cows to have their calves with minimal mix ups and sickness. Following the old adage, “if it's not broke, don’t fix it”, we’ve continued to take the cows south. When the calendar allows, we will take our little family to camp out with the cows for the weekend. While there we use our time to more extensively check the cattle, their water and feed. We tag calves, sort pairs and work on improvement projects. It’s always a full weekend of work but we have a lot of fun along the way, packing all sorts of bikes and toys for the kids to make the most of the warmer weather. Our oldest son, Mason, has been buzzing around Locomotive on his little motorbike for the last few years. He took to riding in no time at all, forgetting what mom might think is smart, careful riding for a little more dare-devil style. After outgrowing his first bike and finally saving up enough for a new one, he hit the range on his new wheels. Mason had always planned for his sister,
Paige, to take over the smaller dirt bike. He talked about it like it was a done deal. He was sure that she wanted nothing more than to ride bikes like him. But in reality, Paige wasn’t quite so sure. In the past she had given the bike a spin, but being younger and smaller, she wasn’t really ready to ride it. She didn’t NOT want to ride, but she was definitely intimidated and unsure about committing to it. Before I go on, let me tell you a little about Paige. Paige wants to live life big, trying everything she can. She likes to go full tilt into whatever she is doing. And she always expects to succeed in EVERYTHING she does. Paige also wants to be totally confident and sure before she jumps into something. There are times when all of these facets of Paige just can’t jive together. Like when it comes to riding a dirt bike. She absolutely wants to do it. It looks fun and exciting and, of course, if brother can do something, she sure can too. But then she also has those thoughts like, “I don’t know how to ride...” and “What if I crash?” She doubts she can do it or do it well enough, and is afraid to give it a try because she doesn’t want to fail. This last weekend the stars aligned and
our family finally had a chance to camp out with the cows in Locomotive. As we loaded up the bikes and toys, Mason was sure to load up BOTH motorbikes because, once again, he was sure that Paige was ready to ride. She didn’t really say no, but she never said yes either. I really didn’t know which way things would go, but I did know that this was a chance for her to learn more than just how to ride a dirt bike. That first morning before we headed to check cows, Mason, with his brotherly-love, kept pushing Paige to get on the bike. She needed a little encouragement but I was afraid that too much pushing would overwhelm her and she would throw in the towel before even giving it a chance. Her dad quietly came over to her to help her get her start. They talked bike riding business for just a few minutes, reviewing how to keep balanced, to shift and to stop. Still uncertain about giving it a try, Paige asked for him to ride with her. Even though he didn’t fit too great on the kid-sized motorbike, he hopped on the back to give a little confidence boost like dads do. She put the bike in gear, gave it a little gas and they slowly took off. It was a wobbly start, but she was doing it. After
March 17, 2022
just a few seconds dad slipped off the back and suddenly she was riding alone. It wasn’t fast, it wasn’t perfect, but she was doing it. That little taste was all she needed and she was hooked. After a few quick minutes to get familiar with riding, she was all set to go out on the range. She followed behind us as we crossed the fields, coming along at her own confident pace. At first Paige was content to stay in first gear, follow someone else’s trail and even have someone kickstart the bike for her but as the day went on you could see the confidence grow in that girl. With pride she would say, “Hey mom! Check it out, I can go into second gear!” She had to show us all that she could start the bike, all on her own. Every incremental step, big or small, was a win to her that day. She was geared up ready to go the next day, begging her dad to PLEASE drive through all the cows again so she could ride the dirt bike some more. We did and she loved it, until things got a little tough. With the melting snow, there are some places on the roads that have gotten a little rough. And while her dad had explained that the roads could be harder to go down than the field, she stuck to the trail. For the most part it seemed
easy to handle, but all of the sudden it wasn’t. Leaving the heifer field, we headed back to camp and as I followed along behind her, I could almost see her lose confidence the moment she became afraid of crashing. The road had suddenly turned really bumpy with tire ruts and hoof prints. Suddenly Paige slowed down, way down, so much that she began to wobble and try as she could, the bike laid down. Fortunately it wasn’t a big crash, really not even a crash at all, but to that little girl it was scary big. She was tired, defeated and ready to be done. As I wiped her tears, I simultaneously told her that she had to get back on, even if she didn’t want to. After a few minutes of convincing, Paige climbed back on, frustrated but willingly. Over the few miles back, she went on her own slow and steady pace with her eyes fixed ahead and never deviating. It felt like a painfully long trek back and she was ready to hang up her helmet the moment she got off. But there was also a small glint of pride in her eyes for sticking to it, for climbing back on and for riding again when she didn’t want to. That little crash didn’t deter her from wanting to ride long. After a quick lunch she was ready to get back at it again, with
even a little more confidence and zip in her ride. Paige isn’t the first little girl to take the leap to try something hard. She isn’t the first kiddo to jump into something at the same time as being afraid. She isn’t the only one to climb back on after falling down when the road got bumpy. And she isn’t the only one to learn that courage becomes confidence. But I celebrate everyone she tries something new, faces her fears and becomes a little more confident because these are the moments that are shaping her into the great person I know she can be. This is the life I always dreamed for my family to have. I wanted to raise my kids in the wide open spaces where they could learn first hand about hard work, responsibility, accountability, courage, determination and dedication. I wanted to work together as a family to do hard things and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done. I wanted opportunities where they would be physically, mentally and even emotionally tested so they could prove, not to me, but to themselves just how strong they are. Agriculture and ranching has given our family the place to learn and grow, to try and fail, and to try and succeed.
from British rule, as well as a political statement about the desire to free Ireland itself from that rule. In the middle of the 19th century, Irish civic and community organizations in Boston, Chicago and New York began publicly parading to celebrate Irish identity during a time when prejudice against immigrants from Europe was peaking. (This is also the origin of the American celebration of Columbus Day.) By the middle of the 20th century, Irish-American identity was widely embraced, and the celebration had become a national day of genealogical pride for the millions of Americans with Irish roots. The library is offering adult classes on the fourth Wednesday of every month throughout the year. The last class, “Instant Pots and Air
Fryers,” taught by Kathy Williams and Carrie Jensen, was a huge success. Next month’s class will be on the subject of Zero Scaping and other gardening related issues, and taught Richard Anderson. A full calendar of events is available at the library, so be sure to check for dates and times.

Library to Host “Irish Folklore Night” on the 23rd Mammograms As part of its Adult Class schedule, the Oneida County Library will be hosting a night of information and fun next Wednesday on the topic of “Irish Folklore.” Trained folklorist and local librarian Elizabeth Kent will be speaking with the audience about a range of topics related to the deep and wideranging field of folklore from the Emerald Isle, in observation of St. Patrick’s Day. According to Kent, the discussion will involve “some of the more well known aspects of Irish folklore, like the Blarney Stone, banshees, leprechauns, and the fairy folk.” She also plans to engage in a deeper discussion of the political split in Ireland that has divided the country in the Protestant North Ireland and Catholic Republic of Ireland. Many of the legends and myths of Ireland are shared between the two factions, which have entered into a stable peace ever since the Peace Accords of the late 90s, though obviously some tensions still exist. In both parts of the island, St. Patrick is a venerated figure. Kent plans to discuss the “true role of St. Patrick, and how he is celebrated in Ireland.” While Americans primarily think of St. Patrick’s Day (St. Paedrag in Irish) in conjunction with excessive conviviality, his veneration in Ireland is much more devotional. In fact, the day is generally composed of religious C Y
M K
services, parades, and even the closing of bars. This is especially appropriate, considering his nickname on the island is “the Peacemaker.” St. Patrick’s Day as an American tradition is largely derived from Irish immigrants to the
colonies celebrating their homeland in the 1730s. The first parades were held by Irish members of the British army in 1766. After the revolution, the day was seen as a dual celebration of the freedom of the new United States

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017) Sadie Simpson and Joe Thomas have qualified as the top two scholastic members of the Malad High School Class of 2017, with Sadie being named as valedictorian and Joe being named as salutatorian. Both will represent their class and will speak during Commencement Exercises being held on May 24 at Malad High School. The Top 10 Percent for the Class of 2017 are Sadie Simpson, Joe Thomas, Shaylynn Ward, Conner Pope, Hanah Peterson, Trevon Buttars and Simiron Nesbitt. The Top 25 Percent for the Class of 2017 are Trevan Downey, Cameron Wright, Emmah Peterson, Samantha Williams, Kassy Love, Sydney Webster, BreeAnn Weeks, Abby Thomas and Bridgette Coburn. Malad High School Principal, Rob O'Neal, took a few minutes during a student body assembly, to honor fourtime qualifier to State and senior Rhett Daniels for his accomplishments at the State Wrestling Tournament. Daniels had a very successful season for his senior year, bringing home the state championship in the 220 pound class. Joining Daniels at state were 11 wrestlers who brought home five medals for the Malad team. Hazen and Riggin Smith both placed second in the 152 pound and 98 pound divisions. Chet Potter and Cody Weeks both received sixth place medals at the tournament. The team took seventh place overall. Karren Edwards, former Staff Development Coordinator (SDC) for Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital, has been promoted to the position of Chief Nursing Officer (CNO). Karren will continue to conduct the duties of her SDC role with regards to staff education including nursing certifications in ACLS, PALS, and BLS, LPN education in the upcoming LPN program, staff education and assisting with staff scheduling. In her new role as CNO, Karren will also be directly involved in assuring that quality assurance programs are being run effectively and that clinical chart reviews are being conducted regularly for all patients and residents. Karren will also be instrumental in helping to establish the hospital as a Level 4 Trauma Center. The Malad High School Class of 2018 hosted this year's Junior Prom 2017. The theme was 'A Night in NYC.' The prom was held at Malad High School on Saturday, March 11. The gym at Malad High School was transformed into the streets of New York City. The gym featured a city street complete with dotted lines, parked car, and street signs. The main color of the night was black. This year's junior class selected Prom Royalty from among the junior student body. Only members of the junior class were allowed to C Y

vote. Mattie Semrad was selected as the Prom Queen and Drew Green was chosen as Prom King. Amanda Zdroik and Mercedes Tolboe were selected as Prom Princesses. 10 YEARS AGO (2012) History was made on March 6, when Republican voters were given the opportunity to cast a vote for who they wanted to be the Presidential candidate representing the Republican Party in the November general election this year. Three hundred and thirty-two Oneida County Republican voters were part of the 44,000 enthusiastic Idaho Republicans, who made history by participating in the first Idaho Republican Party Presidential Caucus. The majority gave their support to Mitt Romney. When the deadline passed on Friday afternoon, four candidates had filed for election in the District 1 County Commissioner race. Those filing include the incumbent commissioners, Cecil Sweeten, who will be challenged by Don Paul Schwartz and Alden Neal on the Republican ticket in the May primary election. In the November general election the winner in the Republican primary will face Democrat Shellee Smith Daniels who is also seeking election to the post. Clarence and Virginia Kent are celebrating milestone birthdays. Clarence was born in 1922 in Malad and Virginia was born in 1932 in Cortland, New York. They are the parents of five children, 19 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren. Malad High School has four students enrolled this school year that are visiting from European countries. Exchange students at Malad High are Christian Anderson from Esbjery, Denmark; Gloria Borroni from Milan, Italy; Milan Henkrich from Bardejov City, Slovakia and Michael Zboncak from Bardislava, Slovakia. The Davis Sod team once again claimed the traveling trophy when they won the annual Donkey Basketball game. 15 YEARS AGO (2007) Eighty-four pints of blood were donated during the Malad Community and High School Blood drive for the American Red Cross, held in the Malad High School gymnasium. The Malad High School Business Professionals of America (BPA) had several students place high in the standings at the recent Idaho State BPA competitions. Those winning awards were Tori Hill, Mary Anderson, Matt Williams, Shane Price, Ty Price and Ryan Hannah. 25 YEARS AGO (1997) With the end of the school year now just a little over two months of, Malad High school announced its valedictorian and salutatorian for the Class of 1997 this week. Charlotte Firth, daughter of Rebecca and

Oneida’s Long Term Care Facility is no longer in the penalty box as far as the Idaho Bureau of Facility Standards is concerned. State surveyors re-evaluated the local facility March 4, giving it a stamp of approval upon leaving. The Oneida Hospital Board announced Monday that Paul Kobrzycki, RN, BSN, NHA, MSA, will take over as administrator of the county’s hospital and long term care facility, replacing Robert Kent.

Anderson, acting dean of the Idaho State University College of Education, has released the dean’s list for the fall semester of 1996. Sara Jones was named to that list. Sara is the daughter of Rod and Donna Jones. 35 YEARS AGO (1987) Malad residents were treated to a near flawless performance of “Johnny Appleseed” last Wednesday night by members of the sixth grade class. Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise in a scene where Johnny Appleseed sings to the Smith family, are Hydee Tubbs, Tori Evans, Kris Howard, John Errol Thomas, Seth Briggs, and Chris Scott as Johnny Appleseed, Jedd Smith and Leslie Jones.

The two were presented their beads, scarf and certificate after completing requirements of the Woodbadge training.

CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING/MEETING Public Hearings Mayor Hawkins began by recapping the process for public hearings for the benefit of the two new councilmembers. All public hearings in the city are opened by the mayor, after which any staff reports and legal advice are presented. Then any written material that has been submitted for the hearing is read into the record. The sides representing the issue at hand then take turns presenting their points either on favor or against the object of the hearing. The council then discusses the issue, and if possible, votes on it. Cedar Ridge PUD, Bryce Gooden The first public hearing involved Bryce Gooden, who was hoping for approval of the second phase of the Cedar Ridge development at 60 Cedar Lane. The city’s planning and Zoning Board had recommended the approval of the phase. Gooden explained the nature of his next steps, which will include an expansion to the east along the same footprint as the current Cedar Ridge development. Gooden stressed that the primary point of clarification on the part of PZ was the 10% shared/ community space requirement, which he believes will be met and exceeded by the plans. The hearing was closed as no written or oral testimony was presented by the public. When questioned by the council, Gooden stated that the buildings already completed had been rented out quickly upon completion. The Cedar Ridge PUD was approved by the council after a vote. Zoning Amendment for 760 S 300 E The second public hearing involved an amendment to the current zoning map. The amendment involves rezoning the property from Residential to Industrial for use as a lumber yard. Hess Lumber is hoping to change the property to an Industrial designation, in order to move the palette operation out of the downtown area. There were no public comments in opposition to the project. A motion to accept the recommendation was approved by the council. An ordinance will
be produced, recorded at the courthouse and published, which will make a change to the zoning map change official. Chamber/Fourth of July Eric Crowther addressed the Council on the behalf of the Chamber of Commerce. Crowther suggested that the COC was not taking the lead on the Fourth of July event this year, as a result of other obligations for many of the members. The COC is in a state of reorganization at present, and not able to take on the level of engagement with the Fourth of July events it has in the past. Crowther stated that the chamber still had funds available to contribute to the Fourth of July event, though it would not be able to support the event through direct staffing. He discussed the equipment which had been purchased through the years for event production, the eventual disposition of which was unclear. The equipment primarily involves speakers, sound equipment, and other items used for concerts and events at the bandshell. The city council agreed to find a storage location for any of the equipment that the COC will not be using in the near term. The management of the Malad’s Got Talent Show was a central subject of discussion, and it was determined that the city felt it was important to continue, whether the chamber was able to assist or not. The Chamber will, however, still be organizing the parade for the Fourth. Crowther’s primary hope was that someone would be willing to take over the running of the COC so that it could continue operation. The Car show is also under discussion. The Car Show is planned for the first week in June. The Fire Department and Ambulance District have been involved with seasonal events such as Easter Egg hunt and for a number of years, and will continue to be involved. The COC also manages the digital sign at the entrance to town. The city council expressed concern about having the sign sold to a private interest, and discussed
plans to take over the management of it, though as a municipal entity the city would not be able to use it for business advertising. Veterans Book The Veteran’s Book project, headed up by Gene and Kay Caldwell, Brent Bowen, and Kathy Kent, has requested a donation from the city to facilitate the completion of the project. The book will feature colorized pictures of Oneida County veterans across the twentieth century. The focus of the current efforts is to complete sections on the Korean War and Vietnam War. A motion was made to donate $500 to the project. The motion passed. Co-op Building The plans for the co-op building, presented to the council last week by outside architects, were discussed. Potential changes to some of the plan’s elements were raised. Possibilities for leasing commercial space upstairs, the location of a primary conference room, additional office facilities, and the location of restrooms were all discussed, but without any final recommendations at present. Industrial Park Road Agreement An agreement to take over Industrial Park road (by way of assignment of easement), which fronts 20 acres of city owned property to the north of the park, was approved by the council. The county decided to give the road to the city, as it was more in line with the plowing/traffic patterns of the city than the county. The easement will be recorded by the county. Industrial Park Rent and Terms A realtor from out of state has contacted the city with interest about building in the industrial park. The mayor felt that the potential water demands of the company may be too high for the city to feel comfortable with. Regardless, the council discussed rental prices and terms for any potential businesses. Pricing for per acre leasing fees were discussed. The council felt that researching the per acre cost in other towns located along the I-15 was a necessary first step to establishing any pricing.
Shelley, Tremonton, and Blackfoot were all mentioned as potential analogs to Malad in terms of location and pricing for Industrial leases. New Shop Payoff The new shop on 1st West was constructed using a loan a number of years ago. It was suggested by the Treasurer that the funds acquired from the recent sale of a city garbage truck might be used to pay off the balance on the shop. Other avenues for the money include the general fund, and fund designated for the Bannock Street project. A motion was made to pay off the shop using the proceeds from the sale of the garbage truck. The motion passed. Business License BC Homestead Services, located at 116 W 300 N, requested a business license for general Handyman and contractor work. A motion was made to approve the business license, and passed by the Council. City Property on highway 38 The council presented the research they had done on potential interest in the city property off Highway 38. Councilman Tripp had spoken to a developer who was very interested in the property. The mayor had heard from a company interested in the property as well. Jaime Olsen had also had interest. A notice of auction will need to be published to open the property up to any bidding. The council discussed the potential upsides to seeking bids for the property. Tripp suggested that his main interest was seeing the land be used for something useful, while the city was in a position to have control of the development aspects of the area. A bidding process would not obligate the city to sell the property, and if there were no acceptable bids, the city’s prerogative would be to withdraw the auction. The city will need to generate and verify a legal description for the property, which has been surveyed. The city’s interest is in selling the plot of land in its entirety, rather than as a series of parcels. The land is currently zoned as a Residential area, and would need to

be rezoned before any other type of development could be pursued. A motion was made to put the property on Highway 38 up for bid, with an Intent to Sell notice. FEMA Grant A grant to put in curbs and gutters on Bannock Street has been located, which is one of the engineering concerns for the project. The grant itself covers $3.2 million, with the city being required to cover 25% of it. The mayor discussed potentially speaking with the county and other entities to help cover in-kind contributions for the grant, such as excavation. The council approved a motion to allow the grant to be pursued, but did not commit to the funding itself. City Superintendent Tyler Webster supplied a list of items the city would like to sell, or otherwise dispose of. The council passed a motion to declare the items on the list no longer needed for city purposes, and therefor suitable for auction. Unlike the county, which is governed by much more stringent regulations regarding the disposition of property, the city can effectively manage its surplus inventory fairly directly. Sheriff A deputy has just completed Post, as has a dispatcher. Another officer and dispatcher are currently in Post. The Sheriff reports that his staffing is primarily full. The sheriff inquired about the status of the dog pound facility, and was informed on behalf of City Superintendent Tyler Webster that the facility had been made suitable for housing dogs, though the city is currently entertaining bids for a newly constructed building to replace the one at its current 100 W
location. 100 N.. is a trucking issue. The sheriff reports that trucks have been staging up the road on 100 N., which is not large enough to accommodate them. A request was made for signage to prevent trucks over a certain size from using the street. The sheriff mentioned a desire for a street sign near the school zones that displayed the drivers’ speed. He felt that such a sign would be a deterrent to some of the speeding issues on different city roads. It was noted that the current signs had been flashing earlier than the signs indicated, but that the time change would effectively bring them back in line. Josh and Pat The city council discussed advertising for several part-time employees for the summer. The employees will be performing maintenance and upkeep on public spaces, including such activities as weeding, weed-eating, lawnmowing, painting, and so on. The city is especially interested in making sure the cemetery is worked on before Memorial Day. Mountain West Environmental will continue doing water testing for the city until Tyler Webster is able to have his license processed. Potholes and other road issues were discussed. The Road department has been working consistently since the weather has become less snowy to address a number of street issues. Some of the more difficult current issues involve bumps caused by manholes under the asphalt, as well as road deformation from trucks.
Local SEITec Receives Donation Hess Pumice Products, Hess Napa Auto, Airgas Welding Supply and Nucor Steel, have partnered in presenting a gift of much needed welding supplies to the Malad High SEITec Welding Class. The donors are excited to see these students, under the direction of Troy Bird and Kami Willie, engaged in learning this much needed skill set in today's industrial world. They “hope that they will take advantage of this opportunity to learn as much as they can and believe that if they do, it will greatly benefit them as they move into the workforce or pursue their respective educations.” SEITec (Southeastern Idaho Technical) Charter School is a career technical regional public charter school formed by the cooperative efforts of C Y

three rural school districts who recognize the need for high-end career and technical education (CTE) programs, as well as the challenge of funding quality CTE programs. SEITec is made up of CTE students and teachers from Malad, Preston and West Side High Schools and is overseen by a Board of Trustees and an administrator whose primary focus is the success of SEITec students and programs. The donors are committed to supporting CTE teachers and programs and helping prepare students for future success. SEITec began operations in the fall of 2013. According to Kami Willie, Malad H.S. SEITec Coordinator, “Right now we are focusing on the SEITec student's internships. This is a 16-hour job shadow/internship for the
students to experience different career opportunities. We have students interning at Western Fab, Oneida County Library, Kanine Korner, Law Office, Ed Thorpe Dental Office and ISU in the Diesel Mechanics, Welding and Aircraft Mechanics programs.” She further explains that “We have completed our Senior Seminar, learning interview skills, workplace readiness and resumes. Each student will turn in an updated resume for one of the SEITec requirements. Visited the senior English class where they completed career interest surveys and discussed the different careers and what they were interested in. We have traveled to Bridgerland for a campus tour for the medical programs and Hess Pumice for an industry tour. We will

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING 3/14 Roads/Frost Law Bruce Hubbard spoke to the Commission about the Frost Law, which is currently in effect. The frost law regulates the activity of large trucks on county roads during times when thawing temperatures in the spring create the most stress on the roadway surfaces. The speed limits on roads are lowered to 30 and/or the total vehicle weight is restricted while the law is in effect. Hubbard contends that the speed limit potentially results in greater damage to the road, and creates productivity problems with large volume trucking. He asserted that slower trucks tend to drive toward the sides of the road in order to allow vehicles to pass them, which puts more pressure on the sides of the roads, which are most susceptible to wear. There was some discussion about whether school buses might not be heavy enough to be subject to the Frost Law. The Sheriff explained that the Sheriff’s office does not have the ability to weigh individual trucks to determine their actual weight, and therefore generally gives out warnings for speed in excess of the 30 mph Frost Law limit. The legal guidelines outline a 14K weight per axle requirement for large vehicles to reduce their speed to 30 in the county. Trucks and buses fit into the Frost Law restrictions if they have a total weight of 10K lbs. Without the Frost Law, the maximum weight for county roads is 17K/lbs per axle. The commissioners committed to looking into the Frost Law application for this season, as well as potentially the way it will be applied next year. The commission planned to speak with Road foreman Diana Dredge for further input. Bannock Street Construction Malad City mayor Joan Hawkins spoke to the commission about the Bannock Street project. The mayor reported that the city had applied for a FEMA grant that would remediate the storm water issues related to the project. Her reason for approaching the commission was to request a commitment to potential in-kind donations to help cover the city’s portion (25%) of the total FEMA grant. Hess Pumice has already committed to helping with an in-kind donation of excavation work on the project, using their equipment. Diana Dredge, on behalf of the Road and Bridge department, suggested that the department would commit to help to the extent its limited equipment and manpower would allow. The mayor suggested that the willingness to participate on the part of local entities was really what the grantor would consider most heavily, rather than the exact nature of the in-kind effort. The commissioners approved a motion to draft a letter of support for the city, with regard to pursuing the FEMA grant for the Bannock Street C Y

stormwater project. Joint Meeting with Power County The Commissioners spoke with the Power County Board of Commissioners about a joint drug court coordinator arrangement. Power County reported on a meeting last week during which a joint coordinator was interviewed. The issue under discussion as a joint session matter was the funding for the position, and recommendation of the applicant. Specialty Court Coordinator is a position in which an individual works with participants in Drug Court. The hope is that an individual can be located to operate in both Power and Oneida Counties on alternating days. The Oneida County Commissioners made a recommendation to hire the current applicant for the position. The wages and benefits will be funded by state Supreme Court funds, other than travel expenses, which will become the responsibility of the counties. These fees will largely be generated by participation fees from Drug Court itself. The Commission approved a motion to extend an offer to Nicholas Evans for the joint coordinator position pending the approval of Power County. Irrigation Company Flood Control/Letter of Support MVI (Malad Valley Irrigation) spoke to the commission. Tod Daniels, a consulting outside engineer, presented information on the loss of water in the system as a result of seepage. PL566 is a federal law that provides funding through the FDA for flood control, water management and conservation, energy conservation, and recreation. The funding covers 100% of a number of different types of improvement and mediation, and 75% of other types of water-related projects. MVI is planning to pursue a number of projects under the PL566 law as a way of improving the current water piping and flood control issues in the county. One of the goals will be to repair the dams at several of the reservoirs, and provide pressure irrigation to farms. A discussion of potential sources of outside funding and other sources of grants was held concerning ways to fully underwrite the project. The process will require a number of steps, including Environmental Assessment and Public Comment elements, before any of the potential proposed projects could begin. The project to ultimately update the piping, raise the dams, and perform a number of other improvements to the irrigation system was anticipated to be underway by 2025, if approved by all the involved entities. The commissioners signed a letter of support for the pursuit of the project on behalf of MVI. Approach Permits/ Modification The State Engineer was consulted on the policy for approach permits for
residential roads in the county at the time of sale. Some approach roads are narrow, and purchasers are often desirous of widening and improvement. The county clarified that the cost of those types of road improvements would be carried by the homeowner, rather than the county itself. The department drafted a letter explaining that roads at time of purchase were acknowledged “as is” by the purchasers.

Not recommended reading for parents and kids. By Dotty Thorpe Evanson March is International Women’s Month and March 8 was International Women’s Day. I’m a woman so I’m celebrating this month. Not only am I a woman, I’m also a “mature” woman. Susan B. Anthony once said: “The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world.” Now Ms. Anthony’s circle of influence was huge. Mine not so much, but I’m with her on the idea that age brings some power. The body may not always respond the way I want, the brain may not always
call up the information I need, but age has given me the power of perspective. Let me share a few insights: The power of purpose. Hadley wants to be a YouTuber. Being a YouTuber means you make videos, upload them to YouTube, try to get a billion followers so all the big companies will advertise on your channel and wah-la you’re famous. Right now, she sees making videos as her purpose. She does not have a channel yet, but she has dreams. Last night, she and her cousin were creating a script for their latest video ven-
ture. Hadley was writing. Before she went to bed, pages were filled. I mean pages. When I’ve asked her to sit down and write in her journal, not much happens. Purpose is a motivator. The power of example. Our family does Sunday dinner a couple times a month. We eat. We visit. We play Rook. We bond with our people. Often, we get busy visiting and look up to see Grandma Red at the sink getting the dishes done. We follow suit immediately. She never stops being our guide. The power of gratitude. Clyde and Louise
live across the street and age is setting in. When I run over to see how they are doing, I never leave without hearing Louise say, “Thanks for dropping in.” She has a lot to deal with, but she still manages to express gratitude. Thank you, Louise. Purpose, example and gratitude (PEG) give us plenty to ponder. At the end of the day, do you have PEG? What is your purpose? Do you follow a great example? Are you grateful? It’s worth some reflection time to see where you stand, because if you got PEG, you got the Good Life!
Malad Stake Relief Society to host party for 180th birthday The Malad LDS Stake Relief Society has been hard at work planning a special celebration for all women in the Malad Idaho Stake. They will be hosting a 180th birthday part to commemorate the birth of the Relief Society. The Relief Society was restored and organized by the prophet Joseph Smith on March 17, 1842. All women and young women in Malad, ages 11 and older, are invited to attend this special event. It will be held on March 17, beginning at 6:00 p.m. It will be held at the Malad Stake Center. A light din-
ner will be served. There will be a special program which will feature some special musical numbers. These numbers will include Christy Oja and family and the Teeples family. There will also be speakers as part of the program, including Lynn Moore, Debbie Bean and Abby Toone. Sister Vicky Kent, Malad Stake Relief Society president, will give a brief history of the Relief Society organization in the Malad Valley. Following the program, dinner will be served. The Malad Stake Relief
Presidency appreciates the work of Paula Bradford and her committee in preparing the food for the dinner, along with Kristen Horsley and her committee for the decorating. Sis. Linda K. Burton, Relief Society general president said, “We are celebrating who we are and what our work is. We are celebrating those who have gone before. And we are celebrating our purpose.” The purpose of Relief Society, Sister Burton explained, is to “prepare women for the blessings of eternal life.” That is

accomplished as sisters increase faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes as they make and keep sacred covenants, and offer relief to those in need, working in unity with priesthood holders. Sister Burton added that understanding the purpose of Relief Society will not only bless the lives of individual women, but it will also help them bless the lives of others “in their homes and families and also in their communities.”

are for vehicles with a total weight of 10K lbs (including buses, which have an average weight of over twice that limit), as well as tractor trailers, and large livestock trailers. The Frost Law also includes vehicles with a per axle weight of 14K lbs, which includes semis. The speed limit for vehicles fitting into that designation is 30 mph on county roads. The restrictions generally stay in place for the duration of the spring months with a significant amount of freeze/ thaw. Higher speeds on roads can cause a certain amount of buckling and rippling on asphalt roads, especially during braking at stop signs. Come-and-Go weather Spring is typically the season of getting back outside for sports, and baseball and softball are certainly the iconic outdoor spring sports in the area. Last week’s opening baseball and softball events in American Falls had to be canceled as a result of weather that, with the wind chill, sunk into the single digits. Luckily, this weekend’s events were able to move forward under much nicer weather just a few days later. Lingering Snow and Upcoming Flooding Once the weather makes a full turn around the corner, flooding from uphill runoff and mud from the water-logged ground will become a familiar seasonal hazard. During the warmer days of the last few weeks, anyone who had reason to visit the Oneida County Event Center or the parking lot near the city park ballfields has
direct experience with the potential for deep and clinging mud. The snow collection areas around the city have also started to melt, leaving a number of watery zones to be wary of. The water is very welcome, of course, though some of the accompanying puddles are less so. The city and the county have both been in recent discussions regarding flood abatement, with a number of projects underway that it is hoped will reduce some of the flooding issues in the future—especially on Bannock Street, which is the subject of the city’s major public works project underway—though this spring is likely to be another wet one and muddy one. Spring Break Approaches It can be hard to think of Spring Break while snow is still on the ground, but nonetheless, the yearly school holiday approaches. This year’s Spring Break is scheduled for the week of Monday the 28. Spring Break often also marks the beginning of the increasing gas prices that are a feature of modern life. This year, of course, the problem is exacerbated by the global oil market, which has led to record-high gas prices across much of the world. As of press time, Malad’s gas prices are at $4.39/gallon for Regular, which is likely to increase at least somewhat over the next several weeks. A recent announcement by OPEC about potentially releasing more oil into the market has held prices relatively steady for the last several days, but the future is nothing if not unpredictable.

If the current gas situation makes a trip to the beaches of Florida or California (or even Bear Lake) less likely, consider some of the local possibilities. The Ag Extension Office will be hosting a week of “Intro to 4-H” classes during the week, to introduce those interested to the kinds of activities and information 4-H provides. The Iron Door Playhouse will kick off Spring Break weekend with a Cowboy Poetry and Music Festival, featuring performers from the Cowboy Poets of Idaho and International Western Music Association on Friday the 25 and Saturday the 26. Regionally, Lagoon will hold its opening weekend on the 26 and 27. The park will also be open on the 2 and 3 of April. The Park officially opens full time the first week of May. Pebble Creek Ski Mountain outside of Inkom, Idaho will be holding its Kings Pond Skim event, where skiers and snowboarders can attempt to traverse the thawing Kings Pond with their gear. Even for spectators, the event is generally very entertaining.

as of April 14, 2022. • The property must have a current homeowner's exemption. • The home can be a mobile home. • There are no income limits, but veterans must apply for the benefit each year. The benefit doesn’t renew automatically. Veterans can get an ap-
plication for the benefit on the Idaho State Tax Commission’s website at tax.idaho.gov or from their county assessor. Applicants need to include a current letter from the VA confirming their 100% service-connected disability rating or their 100% compensation due to individual unemployability as of
January 1, 2022. The county assessor must receive the application by April 18, 2022. Veterans with a disability might also qualify for more property tax relief based on their income. Read the Property Tax Reduction brochure on the Tax Commission’s website to learn more.

RECIPE
Dublin Coddle
A “coddle” is a general name for a slow cooked meat dish, usually featuring potatoes and seasoned with Irish beer. While the alcohol content cooks out during the process, the Guinness is easily replaced with extra stock. Coddle is a traditional spring weather Irish dish—hearty and guaranteed to fill your house with delicious smells. Ingredients 8 slices bacon, chopped into small pieces 1 pound high-quality pork sausages (see notes) 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 bottle Guinness beer (or replace with extra cup and a half of stock) 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into bitesized pieces 2 large onions, cut into C Y

slices 4 cloves garlic, minced 4 tablespoons fresh minced parsley 3 bay leaves 1 teaspoon dried thyme Fresh cracked black pepper 2 cups beef, ham, or chicken broth Instructions Preheat the oven to 300°F. Heat a large, oven-proof Dutch oven over high heat. Add in the bacon and cook until crisp, about five minutes. Remove the bacon to drain on paper towels. Leave the grease in the Dutch oven. Add the sausages in, a few at a time (don't crowd the pan), and cook on each side until just golden brown—no need to cook all the way through. Remove to a plate and continue with
additional sausages. Remove to plate. When cool enough to handle. Slice into 1" pieces. Reduce the heat to low, and then whisk in the flour. Cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Then remove from heat completely. Whisk in the bottle of Guinness (see notes if you'd like to not use beer). Place half of the potatoes in the gravy, followed by half of the onions, half of the garlic, half of the bacon, half of the sausages, half of the parsley, the bay leaves, the thyme, and black pepper. Repeat layers with the remaining ingredients. Pour the broth over the whole thing. Place lid on, and bake in preheated oven for at least 2 hours (see notes). Notes If you don’t want to use beer, replace with a cup and a half of stock.

Baseball The Malad High School spring sports teams were scheduled for a big week of opening games to kick off their 2022 season. Unfortunately, due to poor weather and field conditions, games were canceled in American Falls and Marsh Valley for the softball team, as well as games in Malad and American Falls for the baseball team. Fortunately, the Dragon baseball team was still able to travel to Battle Mountain, Nevada to play the Longhorns in three games over Friday and Saturday. In years past the team has participated in the Glenns Ferry Tournament but Coach Bo Clark was open to new opponents for the team to play. The weekends’ games were a great start to the new season, winning two of the three games. It has been difficult for the team to get out on the field for practices as they would like with the colder weather. For many of the pitchers and catchers, the games were their first opportunity to really have a chance to MHS BMHS

throw the ball. Despite the difficult start, the Dragon baseball team was ready to play. In the second game, the team especially found a great rhythm as they beat Battle Mountain, 13-1, scoring in nearly every inning. Coach Clark commented, “The team got on a roll and really fed off each other's momentum. It was a great chance for a lot of players to have an opportunity to bat.” Coach Clark was especially pleased with the

He shared, “They were really encouraging to the younger players.” These games early in the season provided a great opportunity for the players to move around the field, playing various positions to see where each player can help the team the most.
