Planning and Zoning Commission meets; provisionally recommends special use permit for Hess Lumber
Last Thursday, the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission met for a public hearing, as well as scheduled meeting, during which language for a new ordinance regarding “twin homes” was discussed. Hess Lumber Special Use Permit The longest portion of the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting involved the request by Hess lumber for a special use permit concerning a recently purchased property on 162 N. 100 W., to be used as a parking lot for employees, as well as a potential staging/ storage area for materials related to seasonal items. In the three plus years since Hess Lumber has been operating their pallet business, the level of discomfort expressed by those residents whose homes are impacted by the operation—which involves the large scale storage of material as well as the frequent large truck traffic—has only increased. The hearing itself focused on the special use permit, rather than the larger issues involved, but many residents took the opportunity to raise some of those larger issues surrounding the ongoing situation. To open the hearing, Jared Crowther explained that Hess Lumber has seen a major uptick in the volume of business it has been contracted for. In Crowther’s view, the COVID pandemic has caused other regional lumber businesses
The PZ Commission discusses a potential new “twin homes” ordinance
to focus on large scale projects, leaving the smaller work orders to be contracted by smaller, more local outfits like Hess. As a result, both the pallet business and the general contractor services of the company have required a more significant amount of space to handle the volume. Owing to this, the delivery and storage demands have created a much busier atmosphere near the store’s location. The recently purchased property is intended to be used as an employee parking location, which will free up current commercial space for additional storage. Long term, Hess Lumber is seeking to relocate parts and potentially the entirety of their operation south of town, which will significantly reduce the amount of truck traffic in the downtown area. The outlook for such a move is on the scale of years, with the hope that it may be completed as early as 2023.
The hearing then turned to residents of the area, who expressed their frustration with the current business traffic on the street, as well as some problems with the storage facilities. Annette Elcock raised the issue of semis and large vehicles creating a potentially dangerous situation for children who often use the route to access the swimming pool during the summer. She reported witnessing a number of near-accidents involving children and vehicles on the road. Kim Jenkins, who lives near the Hess property, expressed a similar concern about the safety of the area. He also expressed his frustration with what he sees as the encroachment of Hess Lumber into the residential section of the neighborhood. He acknowledged that the growth of Hess Lumber was potentially unforeseeable and a problem that needed to be addressed, but he also stated that
The property on 100 W. which Hess Lumber plans to use for employee parking
“their business issues are not our problem to solve.” Jenkins expressed his belief that Hess had been expanding beyond what their original statements about the business expansion had indicated. “This is destroying our neighborhood,” he said. Jenkins also raised the issue of the potential fire hazard posed by the accumulation of wood products near residential dwellings.
Other residents spoke about the potential reduction in property values created by the pallet operation, although the subject was deemed to be outside the scope of the public hearing. Throughout the hearing, comments and questions were directed back to the immediate issue at hand, which was the special use permit allowing Hess Lumber to use the property on 100 W. as
an employee parking lot. Debbie Jenkins suggested that for her part she “did not want a parking lot there, because it’s one more step taking us away from a quiet residential neighborhood.” Jared Simpson responded that in his view, “They’re doing everything they can PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETS On Page 8
CANDIDATE PROFILE
Brian Jeppsen Announces candidacy for County Commission District 3 After many years of preaching from the “Community Responsibility” soapbox and at the encouragement of several local friends and neighbors, I have decided to throw my hat into the ring for the District 3 Commissioner’s race. I was born in Texas while my parents were stationed at the Laredo Air Force base. We later returned to Brigham City, UT where I was raised until I was 15 yrs. old. At that time, my parents, Brent and Jacque Jeppsen, moved their family to Malad where I graduated from Malad High School in 1975. Moving to Malad was a life-changing event for me and I have loved the people and the community spirit ever since that time. It was here that I met my
sweetheart Anita Ann Head, who waited for me while I served an LDS mission to San Antonio, Texas from 1976-1978. Upon my return we were married in June of 1979 and now have 3 amazing children; Jacob (Emily) Jeppsen, Melissa (Ty) McMillan, and Breanna (William) Charles. We are also the proud grandparents of 11 wonderful grandchildren. I am also very proud of my siblings; Tammy (Dave) Williams, Kaylene (Chad Rindlisbacher), both of Malad, Ron Jeppsen (deceased), and Chris (Jen) Jeppsen of Boise. Although Anita and I moved away in pursuit of a career in 1980, it didn’t take us long to return home to this beautiful valley. In 1983 we
came back home as this is the place we wanted to raise our children. I have been involved in many community projects and organizations as well as having served in various church assignments over the past 39 years of living here in Malad. In 1987, 6 months before my 30th birthday, and in spite of being happily married with 3 children, I felt that it was my duty and privilege to serve in the military as a token of appreciation for the profound liberties that we enjoy in this blessed Land of Liberty. I subsequently joined the US Air Force Reserve and served for 8 years out of Hill Air Force Base, Utah, achieving the rank of Staff Sargent. Upon joining, I took my Mil-
itary Oath of Office to “… support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…”. I consider that oath to be a lifelong commitment and duty to uphold. I have a very special love for this valley and its people. Now, as before, when I felt it my duty to serve in the military, the time has come for me to give back to this land and to this community that I love. My objective in seeking to serve in this capacity is to recognize and honor those who have served before, to stand upon their shoulders and to build unity and strength in our community as we forge ahead through these most interesting and challenging

times. I share one of my favorite quotes, which has become a constant thread throughout my life’s experiences. “Truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it. But in the end, there it is!” –Winston Churchill Sincerely, Brian K Jeppsen

on a 3-1 vote. Cedar Ridge Phase 2 The next issue taken up by the Commission was the matter of Bryce Gooden’s request for approval of the Phase 2 element of the Cedar Ridge development south of town. Gooden had presented the plans to the commission a number of times in the past, but was required to have a final authorization for recommendation to the city council. A motion to recommend Phase 2 of the development was approved unanimously by the commission. Language for a new “twin homes” ordinance The current construction boom in the county has led to a number of ordinance issues that are currently not covered by the city’s development code. One of these, which has emerged several times over the last year, is the idea of “twin homes.” Twin homes are essentially the same as “townhouses,” which are homes sharing a common wall, but constituting separate properties with separate owners. Since the development code for Malad City deals with single owner plots, the language regarding such things as setbacks (the amount of space between one home and another, the street, property boundaries, etc.) don’t fully apply. The shared wall of twin homes, for instance, does not physically allow for a setback at the shared demarcation. Up to present, developers building such homes

Planning and Zoning Commission meets to fix the situation, and this is just a temporary variance they’re asking for. They are actively in the process of moving it all out of town.” The number of employees who would be utilizing the parking facility if the special use permit were to be granted was estimated at seven to eight. The Crowthers further explained that the area would solely be used for parking, and no storage outside of seasonal materials would occur west of the garage, which is in place at the property. A number of residents expressed concern that allowing the special use variance would lead to an inevitable encroachment of the business further into residential areas, which is how the property in question is currently zoned. The public hearing was closed at that point to allow the commission to discuss the issue. The commission discussed potential qualifications it saw as important to accompany any recommendation to the city council for approval. Chief among them were a timeframe for the variance to be in effect, a gate to prevent open access to the street, a restriction against large material storage and semi traffic, and a restriction against commercial activity of any kind west of the garage. The motion to recommend the special use permit to the city council for approval passed

ZONE 5
Oneida County is obligated to redraw the boundaries for the zones that are used for the purposes of School Board elections. The boundaries are linked to the census—in this case the 2021 results. In the past, the zones have been somewhat unbalanced, with Zone 5 having been granted an exemption to include a population at variance from the average size. The new boundaries bring the zones into closer parity, with approximately 900 residents represented in each. The main changes to the new zone map adds population to Zone 5, which primarily includes the western side of the county, including Holbrook and Stone. The changes add population and will now include more households from the eastern and southern parts of the county. These changes will affect who is eligible to run as a representative from the zones in question. Zones 1-4 have not been significantly affected, and look similar to those from past years. None of the changes have affected the current membership of the board. Due to space limitations, the official zone map cannot be reprinted in the paper, though a scaled down map is included here as a basic overview. For the full map, readers can consult the School Board’s website at https://go.boarddocs.com/id/ osd351/board.nsf/public, which contains the complete map of the new school board zone boundaries, as well as other relevant information.

The Zone popula:ons are officially as follows:
have had to apply for a variance to account for this discrepancy. The new ordinance under discussion by the commission would clarify the setback regulations for the plots involved as well as provide a more specific set of definitions for the construction parameters. One of the primary points of discussion was the width/size of the plots involved in twin home construction. Currently, a single dwelling requires a seventy foot width, with accompanying setback requirements around the perimeter. The width requirement for each plot within the twin home arrangement was discussed, with the commission largely deciding to maintain the plot width for standard single home dwellings, with the exception of waiving the setback requirements for the shared wall. The commission planned to continue refining the language of the proposed ordinance, then submit it to the city council for consideration during the next council meeting. It is hoped that a clearer readout of the development issues involved with these types of residential structures will streamline building and development in the future across the city. A motion to recommend the completed ordinance draft to the city council was passed unanimously.

Representatives of several Malad High School sports teams were present to be recognized for their success. The Malad High School Wrestling Team was named Academic State Champions and placed 4th at State for Division 2A. Austin Nalder won the state championship at 155 pounds, Billy Maddox won the state championship at 195 pounds, Zach Mills placed 3rd at 113 pounds, Ruxton Tubbs placed 3rd at 145 pounds, Cole Willie placed 5th at 138 pounds, and Trevor Mills placed 6th at 106 pounds.

are enrolled in IHLA for next year thus far, and she hopes the numbers will be about the same as this year’s enrollment figures. Brooke Williams is working to coordinate testing for all students. Mr. Jon Abrams mentioned that the teachers and some parents in Stone have requested that 4th grade remain at the Stone School next year instead of coming into Malad Elementary School. Mr. Abrams will gather more input from parents in Holbrook and Stone before a decision is made. Superintendent Abrams reported on some of the actions of the Idaho State Legislature during the current session. More money was allocated to schools by the legislature in this session than in the past. A mandate for all-day kindergarten was not passed, but funding was approved for districts that want to offer all-day kindergarten. Bonuses of $1000 will be given to teachers, staff, and administrators to reward them for their efforts during the pandemic. Family health insurance will be offered to all qualifying employees although the details have not been finalized. Mr. Abrams presented an update on the District’s facilities: Malad High School: The bathrooms are disgusting and will be completely gutted during the summer; the walls will be painted, the flooring replaced, and all new facilities installed. The less-used halls throughout the school will be painted. The door to the Commons from the Middle School will be made secure. Malad Middle School: This school is in good shape. The carpet in the Commons will be replaced. Malad Elementary School: Until a bond is passed to replace the school, only the necessities will be taken care of; major renovations, although needed, will not be done because of the amount of money that would be required. He also reported that the high school track will be replaced and, hopefully, that softball and baseball fields will be put in during the summer. Board member Brent Evanson and Mr. Abrams
reported that the Idaho School Board Association’s “Day on the Hill” was different this year in that they felt the legislators were really listening to school personnel. They let our legislators know that they appreciate their efforts on behalf of the schools. They attended the debate that featured the three candidates for State School Superintendent. A discussion was held on non-transportation zones. The school district needs to declare some areas of Oneida County as non-transportation zones where school buses cannot travel or turn around so as to avoid liability claims. Parents would be paid to transport their students to the nearest bus stop. At this point, New Canyon is the only non-transportation zone that is formally recognized although a study will be done about other areas as the growth in the County continues. The board approved holding an election on May 17 for the Supplemental Levy of $290,000 per year for two years. The election will be held at the Events Center at the Fairgrounds. This levy has been in place for many years. The board approved an overnight trip for the MHS softball team to Glenn’s Ferry on April 8-9. It also approved the purchase of new accounting software for the school district the new software will provide better security and be more efficient and easier to use. The board agreed to continue working with GPC Architects on school building projects. Mr. Abrams and the board briefly discussed the new school zones, which have been approved by the state. (See accompanying article.) The following personnel were approved, pending their passing the State-mandated background check: Lauren Hubbard as a substitute teacher and lunchroom worker; Devin Robbins as a Malad Middle School assistant track coach; Tobin Palmer as a Malad High School volunteer track coach; Kory Kay, Jerry Goddard and Brady Price as MHS assistant football coaches; and Craig Buttars as a MHS volunteer football coach.
DEADLINE to submit items for THE IDAHO ENTERPRISE is Friday at 4:00 p.m.
SCHOOL BOARD EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
Tori Green At the monthly Oneida School Board meeting on Tuesday, March 15, 2022, Mrs. Tori Green was honored as the Oneida School District “Employee of the Month” for her work in the Malad High School Student Success Program. Mrs. Wendi Alder, Vice-Principal of Malad High School, read the following letter in support of Tori: “Tori is a dedicated employee [in the Student Success Program] and has always done whatever was asked of her and more. Tori has a way of showing she cares for our students but also demands that they do their best. She tries to make school a place where students feel comfortable and welcome. She is an advocate for students who do not have a strong support system in their personal lives and makes sure they know she is there for them. “Here are just a few of the things she has done for our students: • She monitors the grades of all students and when they have D’s or F’s, she works with the students and their teachers to do make-up work, complete assignments, etc., to improve the grade.
Principal Michael Corbett, Asst. Principal Wendi Alder, Employee of the Month Tori Green, and Superintendent Jon Abrams
• If a student has lost credit in a class or is credit deficient for some reason, she enrolls them in and monitors their work as they complete online classes to earn those missing credits. • She supervises students in the Sports Management class as they set up the gym for events and perform other tasks related to our sports and activities. • She is a member of the board of our Booster Cub and, along with the other members, donates hours of her time to provide concessions, activities, fundraisers and anything else that is needed to support our school.
• She attends most events at the school, and I often hear her discussing last night’s game or other events with specific students and giving them praise and encouragement for their efforts. “I could go on and on about Tori and her caring nature and work ethic. But, to sum it all up, I would like to give my thanks to Tori for supporting our students and staff and working tirelessly for our school and our district.” In recognition of this honor, Tori received a copy of the “Starfish” poem, a gift card, and a plaque that will hang in the District Office for the next month.

Those seven puzzles each depict one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Chichen Itza, Machu Picchu, Taj Mahal, Christ the Redeemer, the Colosseum, Petra and the Great Wall of China are not easy puzzles to put together. I can’t even imagine the engineering required to build these wonders in real life. There are also Seven Natural Wonders: Aurora Borealis, The Grand Canyon, Paricutin, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, Great Barrier Reef, and Harbor of Rio de Janeiro.

Iron Door Smokehouse Serves Up Local Fare The Iron Door Smokehouse is an institution in Malad. While not a restaurant in the traditional sense, the Iron Door is a place that has been providing high-quality food to the community for almost five years as a catering outfit, and at the storefront on Mondays since November. The Smokehouse is a family affair, run by the trio of Anita and Brian Jeppsen, and Breanna Jeppsen Charles. Anita and Brian have been providing catered food, focusing on locally sourced food, for a variety of events over the years. Weddings, funerals, birthday parties, family and class reunions, and date nights have all been graced by a wide range of foods from the Jeppsen kitchen. In August, their daughter Breanna returned to Malad to help grow the business. Since that time, the business has begun to open its doors on Monday for food pick up. February saw the addition of
an “International Night” featuring food from Italy, a tradition that the Smokehouse intends to continue. The next country to be explored will be Jamaica, which the Jeppsens hope will happen sometime in April. In addition, the trio also commits to providing food for various special days throughout the calendar. Last week, for instance, those who were lucky enough to have made their way to the Smokehouse were rewarded with an amazing meal for St. Patrick’s day. Irish Stew and Shepherd’s Pie were both ladled out throughout the afternoon to wide acclaim. The Smokehouse typically prepares enough food to account for 100 meals, and so far has sold out more often than not. Any leftover food is packaged as “Family Meals,” which have also been very popular. The Smokehouse will not be open on Monday 28, since that
week coincides with Spring Break, but they do plan to be open on April 4 with homemade lasagna. Catering orders can be placed with the Smokehouse through their number (208) 549-9856, though Breanna advises that orders for the next few months are filling up quickly. Based on the positive community response so far, the Iron Door Smokehouse hopes to be able to offer even more possibilities in the near future. “We’d like to get to a place where we can open for lunch a couple days a week, and offer an International Night at least once a month,” Breanna says. “We’d also like to be able to add a Dessert Night to what we do.” The Smokehouse is dedicated to using locally sourced food as often as possible, and creating high-quality, homestyle cooking.
Breanna Jeppsen Charles, and Brian and Anita Jeppsen have recently opened the Iron Door Smokehouse for food pickup on Mondays

We began with Tracy and Becky from Sew in Stitches Quilt Shoppe in Pocatello doing a demonstration of new items that help make cutting and quilting easier. They showed how using a multi- strip cutting ruler can help get you several strips cut at one time that are very accurate. They showed how to use those strips to make a tube that was then cut using a strip tube ruler. This produced several easy half-square triangles. After the demonstrations we had Show and Tell.

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017) The Malad Distinguished Young Woman (DYW) Committee will be presenting "Under the Lights", on Saturday evening, April 29, 2017. Seven junior girls will be participating in the 2018 program and were announced at a Kick Off Dinner on Thursday night, March 2, along with seven local hostesses who will assist the girls throughout the program. The seven girls and their hostesses are Mattie Semrad, daughter of Mike and Avis Semrad, hostess Donna Potter; MaCall Smith, daughter of Dustin and Christine Smith, hostess Shawna Daniels; Kambree Christensen, daughter of Brad and Kathy Christensen, hostess Jackie Stayner; Jessica Perry, daughter of Monica Green, hostess Nacona Smith; Kelsey Owens, daughter of Ryon and Wendy Owens, hostess Jamie Hess; Daysia Harris, daughter of Amanda Brown, hostess Callie Werk and Katie Larsen, daughter of Scott and Natalie Larsen, hostess Lacy Daniels. The Malad Lions Club recently chose four winners from Malad Elementary School in their annual Patriotism Essay Contest. The theme for this year's contest was "What Makes America Great". In a special meeting held on Thursday night, March 16, the winners were honored and presented with a certificate and checks for their winnings. Those winning were accompanied by their parents, teachers and members of the Lions Club. Winning first place in the 4th grade was Alivia Waldron, the daughter of Luke and Shayna Waldron. In the 5th grade, three winners were chosen. First place winner was Winona young, the daughter of Anthony and Mary Young, second place winner was Chloe Udy the daughter of Travis and Melinda Udy and third place winner was Curtis Huckaby, the son of Travis and Kellianne Huckaby. For the seventh year, the Farm Service Agency in Malad hosted a luncheon for "Women in Agriculture", where Oneida County women enjoyed an afternoon of cowgirl poetry, learned about estate planning and also learned of programs offered by Farm Service Agency (FSA), Idaho Farm Bureau and National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). Keynote speaker at the luncheon was Dennis Ferguson, owner and financial consultant for Ferguson Financial Group LLC, who spoke to those present about the importance of estate planning. The women also very much enjoyed listening to the original cowgirl poetry of Arbon resident JoAnn Harrison Ward. 10 YEARS AGO (2012) The Oneida County Farm Bureau Board of Directors has elected Austin Tubbs as president of the Oneida C Y
M K
County Farm Bureau, replacing Reed Stanley, who served in that capacity for the past seven years. Hospital Administrator Todd Winder apprised the board that the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare has approved the request that the Oneida County Hospital long-term care license be changed from a 41-bed facility to a 33bed facility. This will help maintain 80 percent occupancy and avoid “penalties” in reimbursement calculations from Medicaid. Welton and Trudy Ward have been called to an 18-month mission in the Nauvoo, Illinois Mission. This will be their third experience in that mission. They will be entering the Provo Missionary Training Center on April 9. The Renaissance Committee worked hard to prepare the Renaissance Assembly, which honored the students for their academics during the first semester of 2011. Members of this committee include: Hayli Tripp, Cassie Morley, McKenzie Willie, James Wright, Kristen Jones, Gaije Halstrom, Moriah Ihler, Wesley Peterson, Cameron Watkins, Jacob Tubbs, K.C. Snyder, Chance Boyer and Jacob Stevens. City Councilman Lance Tripp brought before the Malad City Council a preliminary park expansion proposal. He displayed a diagram to them of the park with added features that includes additional parking; another playground with pavilion and lights; two tennis courts; volleyball and soccer fields and additional two little pavilions; two baseball diamonds and restrooms. 15 YEARS AGO (2007) A birthday celebration for Evelyn Lucille Kerns Davis who recently turned 105 was held for family and friends at the Downey Care Center in Downey, Idaho. Meeting in monthly session, the Malad City Council approved a bicycle stage race for the last week of September. Making the proposal was Courtney Larsen of Logan, Utah, who will be the race administrator. Hailey Willie and Lacy Davis have been selected for the dean’s list at Utah State University for Fall Semester 2006. Both continue to attend USU for the spring semester. Say good-bye to the Chat and Chew, and hello to Limerick’s Bar and Grill! After more than half a century as the Chat and Chew, the enjoyable relaxation spot has a new name and new owners. The new owners are Charity Gibson, Kelly Brower and James Josephson. All are Irish and say their business name is taken from an Irish poem. Mountain Valley Realty announces four new agents. Rebecca Bronson who primarily works out of the Mountain Valley Realty, Idaho/Utah office in Tremonton; Eugene Sant is a newly licensed agent and will
work primarily in Bannock and Franklin County; John Hayes works out of Bannock County specializing in land and ranch sales and Greg Perry who has been running a home office for Century 21. They will be working with Mary Ann Reel, Broker, Marie Robbins, Associate Broker, Tom Palmer and Denton Sonke. 25 YEARS AGO (1997) One of the world’s most beloved musicals, “The Sound of Music,” is set for production the next two weeks at The Iron Door Playhouse.

The Bear River Medical Associates of Tremonton, Utah, has announced plans to locate a branch of their medical clinic in Malad. Four medical doctors who are affiliated with the clinic will take turns getting patients in Malad five days a week. In a split decision that required a tiebreaker vote by the Chairman of the Board, Oneida School Trustees voted last Tuesday to begin school on August 24. Joshua Ivan Barnes had an exciting and very
climactic ending to his mutton busting of last summer in the Idaho Junior Rodeo Association by being asked to ride in the Championships at the recently televised Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Pocatello. His winnings for the summer included three first place trophies and the district championship. 45 YEARS AGS (1977) Four Malad High students qualified for State by receiving superior ratings at the Fifth District Regional Speech Festival held in Blackfoot High School.

Thomas served Oneida County as Sheriff for one term from 19291930 and as Chief of Police of Malad from 1931 to 1966 under eight different mayors. In oratorical contests at Pocatello and Idaho Falls, Malad High senior Wendy Thomas – American Legion, Ernest W. Jones Post No. 65 finalist – earned first place at the district meet and second in area competition. Mrs. Joan Hawkins was hostess to two birthday parties this week. Ten children attended Justin’s party on Monday and on Friday Chuck had four boys who spent the night with him. 55 YEARS AGO (1967) A standing-room-only crowd saw lovely Camille Jones crowned as Miss Malad City of 1968 on Saturday evening at the Malad Lions Pageant in the school auditorium. Making the presentation was the current titleholder, Miss Anne Hargrave. DayOnna Bowen was named first attendant and Eleanor Peden, second attendant. Sheila Williams was chosen Miss Congeniality.

Excellent rating was awarded Joan Corbridge in the humorous reading division. These students are eligible to appear in the Idaho State declamation contest at Lewiston on April 8th. The annual “Most Preferred” dance was held in the MHS Gym by the journalism class. During the week, the students
voted on the boy and girl they felt were the most preferred couple. On the night of the dance, Cherie Smith and Terry Williams were crowned the “Most Preferred” couple. The theme song “My Cup Runneth Over,” was sung by Jim Davis. Among those participating in the Ricks College Rodeo Club will be Suzanne Harrison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dale Harrison and Kent Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Karl Smith.

Brothers of Steel wrestle at the “Cradle for the Cure” The Brothers of Steel had another busy weekend as they attended another Idaway wrestling tournament. The annual “Cradle for the Cure” tournament was held at the Ford Center in Nampa, Idaho where more than 1200 wrestlers from 120+ teams wrestled. The tournament is held to raise funds for cancer research done locally in Idaho. “Cradle For The Cure” tournament was founded by the Caldwell Wrestling Club when the mothers of Caldwell coaches Adam Freeman, Steven Bidelman, and Juan Peña Lforll were all battling cancer at the same time. The founders said, “In an effort to honor our moms, and do something more than just sit around and feel sorry for our situations, we decided to do the only thing we knew how to do well, run a wrestling tournament. “Each year we bring
awareness to a different form of cancer represented by our tournament singlets. Each event has raised thousands of dollars that stay home and support our local St. Luke's Cancer Institute. The gym at the New, state of the art Institute in Nampa bears the name of our event and honors our mothers who inspired us through their strength to start and grow this amazing tournament. “Over time the event has been adopted by other Idaway West clubs who donate baskets, dress in support, sponsor tables, and volunteer to work. Cradle For The Cure has become a marquee event for Idaho Youth Wrestling, one that we couldn't be more proud of! ” The Brothers of Steel had eight wrestlers enter the tournament, two wrestlers entering into two weight brackets. Collectively, they brought home nine tro-
phies, with those taking 1st also winning championship singlets. Champions were Kyler Blaisdell in the 5/6 49lb bracket, Oakley Maddox in the 11/12 112lb bracket and Drake Morrison in both the middle school 135lb and high school 132lb brackets. Bentley Maddox was the runner up in the 9/10 81lb bracket. Earning 3rd place trophies were Lily Blaisdell in the Girls 5/6 37lb bracket, Rustin Montgomery in the 7/8 HWT bracket and Oakley Maddox in the high
school 113lb bracket. Blaiz Wright wrestled in the high school 170lb bracket and earned the 5th place medal. Dekker Davis wrestled tough in the 7/8 49lb brackets but fell just short of the medal rounds. The Brothers of Steel coaches shared, “We had a great weekend of wrestling and spending time with the team.”

themselves, we want something with good structure for several reasons. From the get go we need to know that he is sound, meaning healthy, strong and in good condition. With multiple bulls with the herd, there is bound to be some fighting, and a weak bull just won’t make the cut. Where we keep our cattle on the range throughout the summer, we need a bull that has the stamina to cover the range with energy to still get the job done. As we scrutinize the bulls’ structure, we especially keep in mind that his size and frame will be passed on to his calves. Although we do want long sided, deep framed calves with good width in the shoulders and hips, this is one of those cases where bigger doesn’t always mean better. Yes, big calves with big frames means more pounds of beef, but there are several things to consider. At harvest time, overly large calves become a problem for processing
EPD data includes information of calf crop weights- birth weights, weaning weights and yearling weights, helping producers to gather what sort of gain they can expect in their calves. It also includes information useful for calving such as calving ease, milk production and stayability, or how long a cow might remain productive. EPDs can also provide information of what carcass quality can be expected including marbling, back fat, rib-eye area and even yield grade. Every ranch and every rancher has their own priorities when it comes to the genetics that they want to bring into their herd. In the simplest terms we want something that can rough it on the range, efficiently utilizing the feed to grow good calves with good beef. We need cows that can calve easily, requiring no assistance. We need cows that produce plenty of milk to put the pounds on their calves without producing so much that
AG REPORT Bull Sale Season By Allison Eliason Bull Sale Season is coming to a close, ending nearly as fast as it came. And I’m a little sad about it. Odd as it may seem, I love this little season of ranching. While the debate of whether Bull Sale Season is an actual thing is still being decided, I have unofficially dubbed March, plus or minus a few weeks, as such. If you were to come look at our bull-sale-calendar, you might mistake it for a bingo card for as many days as have been scribbled on. In fact you might even think we were going for Black Out! And while there may be so many to go to, you can be sure that everyone will be different and every one will be good. I’ve actually had the pleasure of both sides of the sale- the selling and the buying. Growing up on a small ranch C Y
M K
in Montana, we sold our own share of herd bulls. Even as a young girl, I loved a good bull sale and especially loved putting one together. From tracking the bull pedigrees, to the fitting and trimming to photographing them all, even sprucing up the sale barn and of course, staying home from school on sale day. Yep, it was this kid's dream. Even though I am on the buying side of the bull sale now, I still love it. It’s exciting to look at the prospective genetics and traits that could be added to our herd. I find it thrilling to walk through the bulls, talking over their strengths and weaknesses and narrowing down which bull is best for us. Choosing what sires to pair with our herd shapes the direction our operation is moving in the future. We believe that not just any bull will do, so we carefully look over our options to make the best decision for us. When it comes to looking over the bulls
plants with carcasses that are too big for the processing equipment. Since we keep some of our heifers as replacements, it's also important to keep in mind what sort of structure our females will have. Bigger cows require more feed and we need cattle that can be efficient with feed at home and out on the range. With improving innovation and technology, we can know more about prospective bulls than what we alone can see. For nearly the last forty years, expected progeny differences, EPDs have become one of the most useful tools for buying bulls. This data gives a potential estimate of a bull’s progeny performance from DNA analysis and performance of relative males. In essence, this information will allow us to approximate a calf’s performance by each individual sire. Each cattle breed carries their own set of EPDs to allow comparison between bulls within their breed.
it takes energy away from breeding up again or becoming ill with mastitis. We need cows that will consistently breed up again, early in the season, year after year. We need these good cows to produce calves that have lower birth weights but high weaning and yearling weights. With the information from EPDs coupled with a well scrutinized first hand look, we are able to meet the priorities and goals of our operations and ultimately meet the needs of the consumers. It really is too bad that Bull Sale Season only lasts so long. The food is always good, the rancher social hour is always a highlight and it's always great to have an excuse to step out of the grubby work clothes for something a little nicer, but the best part of the season is the opportunity to shape our herd’s future. It all starts with good genetics.

Malad musicians qualify for State
Maclaren Garrett Jaxom Whipple, Mclaren Garrett, Savanna Young, Hayes Teeples, Bridger DeJong, Lindi Young, Sarah Young, and Madelyn Shaw all competed at Districts
Malad High School was represented at the Fifth District Solo and Ensemble Contest by eight talented students. Held on Tuesday, March 15, at Aberdeen School District, the music contest was for students from all Division 1A, 2A, and 3A schools in the Fifth District. The Malad students performed vocal and instrumental solos before judges, who awarded scores and offered constructive comments to the musicians. Those who received Superior ratings were then in the running for the opportunity to go to the State competition. In each vocal and instrumental category, the two students who received the top scores from the judges qualified to go to State in April. Qualifying for State with Superior awards and placing 1st in their respective instrumental categories were Sa-

gories. Others participating in the Contest were Bridger deJong (trumpet), Lindi Young (soprano), Jaxom Whipple (vocal baritone) and Sarah Young (mezzo soprano). Earlier in the year, some of these students received other honors. Jaxom Whipple was selected for the All-
State Band for French horn. Maclaren Garrett and Sarah Young were selected for the All-State Choir. MacLaren and Sarah were also selected for a national choir that will practice and perform in Hawaii later in the year. Accompanying these students on the piano at Contest were Helen Ward, Tru-
dy Ward and Patsy Bybee. Patsy will be retiring at the end of this school year, and her talent and interest in the students will be difficult to replace. The Festival Contest for high school bands and choirs will be in April. The final concert of the year, at which the High School band, choir, and chamber choir and the Middle School band and grade level choirs will perform under the direction of Mr. Foster Garrett, will be on May 12.
Browers to be Featured at Evening of the Arts Cody and Annie Brower claim that they never had any specific aspirations to artistry, although the quality of their work might belie that. The pair has been working on a range of art projects for the last several years, including some media that may be less familiar to the average person. Cody, who spends his days as the Oneida County Prosecuting Attorney, has become accomplished at the fairly unusual craft of creating aluminum anthill sculptures. The process involves melting aluminum in a homemade foundry, then pouring it into (usually abandoned) anthills. As the metal makes its way through the existing ant tunnels, it solidifies into a three dimensional record of the habitat, which needs to be dug out of the earth. “It’s hard to wait for it to be done. We’ve definitely been burned more than once,” Annie says. “The tricky thing is once you start pouring, you just don’t really know what you’re going to end up with. Like this one here—” she says, pointing to the anthill sculpture displayed on the table, “when we dug it out it just kept going and going. It ended up being pretty enormous!” The sculptures themselves end up demonstrating the complex network of chambers and tunnels created by the colony, including food storage areas C Y
M K
and abandoned tunnel sections. “For the anthills, very few people will guess what they are right away. People think that it might be coral or driftwood, but almost no one guesses anthills,” Annie laughs. “The Idaho variety, they just build these giant chambers. We’ve wanted to go run over to Texas because they’ve got fire ants over there, and those make really cool networks, and different spots to go to. As you start digging down into what’s there, you just feel like some kind of archaeologist, uncovering all of this.” “I started it as kind of a hobby. I built a foundry, and we melted aluminum and then I just started pouring it into stuff, and somebody saw it and said ‘Hey—would you bring it down to the Art Walk, and it’s just kind of gone from there,” Cody says. “And it’s not something we really ever planned to make money on. You have to find people with a dedicated space for them.” The sculptures themselves are the size of decently grown potted plants. “Believe it not, anthill sculptures are pretty hard to sell—for one thing they’d be a nightmare to ship,” Annie adds. “You kind of have to have a place for them, which a lot of people don’t.” The process begins with heating the aluminum in a homemade foundry. While that
Annie and Cody Brower with their resin and anthill art
process is underway, the pair builds up sand around the base of the hill to keep the structure intact. “About one out of three will end up collapsing, and doesn’t amount to anything. It kind of just depends. A really busy hill will have a lot of organic material in it, which doesn’t look quite as good,” Annie says. “The abandoned hills make the best sculptures in the long run,” Cody says. “The finished product is pure and silvery. A really active anthill is going to have a certain amount of other material in it, which doesn’t work quite as well.” Annie, who teaches ELA at Malad Middle School, is an accomplished maker of res-
in-based art. Epoxy resin art can be made a number of different ways, but generally it involves adding pigment of one sort or another (Annie generally uses mica powder) to a mixture of art resin, then blowing it with hot air from a heat gun or blowtorch to create various color patterns and textures. “Annie’s stuff is a lot more commercially viable—she definitely sells hers,” Cody says. The finished product is a shiny wash of complex color interactions. “The idea is that the resin ends up with its own finish when it dries,” Annie explains. Other components can be added into the resin to further amplify the textural quality. An-
Cody Brower shows off his homemade foundry
nie, who is originally from California, tends toward beach-reminiscent colors—greens, blues, and yellows. “I love the beach ones,” she says. Many of her resin works, in fact, resemble a beach scene as viewed from above. She plans to try to generate the types of colors associated with Yellowstone hot pots and hot springs—primarily oranges and reds—in future projects. Neither of the Browers began their art pursuits with any thought of making money from them. They started as hobbies during the time Cody was finishing law school a num-
ber of years ago, and have honed their skills ever since. “People definitely like to see them at things like the Art Walk. We get a lot of people who are interested in finding out what they’re looking at,” Cody says. The Evening of the Arts is scheduled for April 14, from 6-8:30 p.m. at the Oneida County Event Center. The event is free to the public, though much of the artwork will be up for auction as part of the fundraising efforts. Proceeds will go to the Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital.

District 5 All-Star Game Three Malad High School seniors were selected to participate in District 5's All Star Game last Monday, March 14, at Pocatello High School. Madi Green represented MHS in the girls game while Bridger Bastian and Jace Williams played in the boys game. The three seniors played with the all-stars selected from Aberdeen, American Falls, Bear Lake, Century, Grace, Highland, Malad, Marsh Valley, North Gym, Pocatello, Preston, Rockland, Shoshone, Soda Springs, Snake River, and West Side. Baseball/Softball Despite less than ideal conditions, the Malad High School baseball and softball teams managed to hit the field over the past week. Amidst their practices and games, the teams enjoyed the typical Idaho spring weather of sunshine and snowstorms. Varsity Baseball The MHS Varsity baseball team traveled to Shelley, Idaho to face off against the Russets Wednesday, March 16. The game ended in a tie with the score 4 to 4 as the game was called due to a snow storm. Players, coaches and fans commented that with the poor weather, it was nearly impossible to see out on the field. Even with the hard conditions, the coaches still saw some great effort from the Dragon team. Coach

Bo Clark said, “Both Kyler Horsley and Stetson Higley pitched a great game. And we saw some great hits from Kyler Horsley, Jaden Ward and Vinny Evans. It’s hard to play in the cold—it can really affect the game.” Battle Mountain The Varsity team also played a series of non-conference games in Battle Mountain, Nevada the weekend of the March 11-12. All told, the Dragons came out with a 4-5 loss, a 5-2 win, and an impressive 13-1 win. The Dragons currently hold a 2-1-1 record. JV Baseball The JV Baseball team traveled to Logan, Utah as the Green Canyon Wolves hosted the MHS Dragons in a double header, Tuesday, March 15. The double header gave the athletes a lot of playing time and different opportunities to get in the game. Throughout the game, Malad’s coaches shuffled the players across the field to give them a chance at several different positions. Malad won the first game, 8 to 6, but fell to Green Canyon in the second game of only two innings, 3 to 2. On March 17, the JV baseball team traveled to Layton-Christian Academy to play the Eagles, winning 11 to 8. Coach Clark shared, “Their team is largely foreign exchange students. Most of them haven’t had a lot of experience but you can see

Timmy Jensen, pitching for the Dragons
their love of the game. It’s really refreshing to see a team that wants to play because they love the game, not just out for another win.” Softball On March 15, the Lady Dragons hit the field for the first time this season as they faced off against the Blackfoot Broncos on their home turf. Inclement weather kept the softball team from their games in the season's opening week. The team came out swinging and ready to play, scoring big in the first two innings, leading 6-0. Fans shared that the win was a great start to the season. The Lady Dragons finished the game with a score of 9 to 6. The JV softball team also played Blackfoot, losing 13 to 4. The lady softball team begins their week of
play at home Wednesday, March 23 against West Side and will play again Thursday, March 24 at March Valley. The baseball team heads out of town to face Century High in Pocatello Wednesday and Ridgeline High School of Cache County Thursday. On March 17, the Lady Dragons hosted West Jefferson, both varsity and JV winning their games against the Panthers, the scores 5 to 2 and 10 to 7, respectively. Both the baseball and softball teams are hard at work in their practices. The coaches shared that in the beginning of the season they will have more errors, but as they work on their defense, tighten up their play and become more comfortable on the field, those errors will go down.
