Malad Youth perform Calamity Jane for Community at Elementary Auditorium
This past weekend Calamity Jane opened and transformed the Malad Elementary Auditorium into the wild west of 1870’s Deadwood, South Dakota. Calamity Jane showcased many of Malad’s talented youth, starting with the lead, Raegan Smith (Calamity Jane), who brings an impressive level of excitement and fun to the role. Her counterpart Joe Daniels (Wild Bill Hickcok) did not miss a beat, sparring with his character's true love. All of the supporting cast, from the fun interactions between Clara Huckaby (Millie) and Loralee Teeple (Mistress Miller) to the mistaken actress Gavin Price (Francis Fryer), brought laughter and joy to the stage. Bridger deJong, the witty bartender named Joe, spread his time commanding the audience and managing the saloon. Mentioning the talent in Malad, one could not miss the talent of the orchestra led by Christine Smith, and including members Britta Sperry, Braeden Farnes, Travis Harrison, Carsyn Jacobsen, Kaylee Jones, Brinn Chipman, Connor Worrel, Austin Hepworth, and Erin Oberg. The audience responded with enthusiasm to seeing the orchestra in action and seeing all of their talent on display. Their years of practice showed in the upbeat and well-executed music. The orchestra played a fun variety of songs that the cast brought to life, from “Love you Dearly” performed by Whitney Palmer (Katie Brown) and Daniel Lenaghen (Lt. Danny Gilmartin) to a favorite, “Careless with the Truth,” performed by the ensemble. The audience was not

just given one love story, but three. Maggie Willie’s (Susan) smile and Gavin Price’s (Francis Fryer) fun loving personality were electric together on the stage as their own love story unfolded. While Whitney Palmer (Katie Brown), whose beauty wins over the town of Deadwood and the audience, has her own struggle choosing between her new friend and her new romance Daniel Lenaghen (Lt. Danny Gilmartin), who has also caught the eye of Calamity. The hard work that was done behind the scenes was obvious, a testament to Directors David and Chalae Teeples. In the playbill, the Teeples mentioned that they requested all of the teen’s parents to donate five hours per child to the production in some capacity- so this show represents many in the community.

Presbyterian Church to Celebrate 140th anniversary
The celebration of the 140th anniversary of Malad’s “Little Church on the Hill” will be held on Sunday, June 26, 2022, in conjunction with the Malad Valley Welsh Festival. Everyone is invited to the special evening program at the Presbyterian Church. The program will be presented at both 5:00 and 6:30 p.m. The Malad Presbyterian Church was the first church building in Malad. The Reverend Sheldon Jackson is known as the missionary in the 1860s who stood on the banks of the Missouri River and realized that there was no Presbyterian Church for 1000 miles. He made it his mission to establish hundreds of Presbyterian churches in little towns
all over the West. One of those churches was in the village of Malad in 1870. In 1882 Reverend Edward M. Knox arrived in Malad and started building the present church and the adjacent Mission School, which was the only school in Malad Valley. In 1908 the school closed because the first public school had opened in 1900. The Presbyterian church bell arrived in Malad in 1884 and has rung to announce church services as well as celebrations, fires and floods. Members of the Presbyterian Church, Interfaith Council and Malad Valley Welsh Festival committee are planning a program that will feature the history, memories and music of this historic building.
Oneida County Interfaith Council Presents the Easter Sunrise Service
Malad's Presbyterian Church will celebrate its 140th anniversary this year
On Easter Sunday, April 17 at 7:30 a.m. at the Covered Picnic Area at the Malad City Park, the Interfaith Council will present a program to celebrate the greatest day in history, when Jesus Christ rose from death, defeated darkness and bathed the world in stunning resurrection light. In 1732, a group of young Moravian men in Hernhut, Saxony,
Germany held the first sunrise service. They gathered at their cemetery at sunrise to worship the memory of the women who went to the tomb on the first Easter morning and discovered it empty, and to praise the Risen Lord. The Moravian immigrants brought the custom to EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE On Page 3

MALAD ELEMENTARY HAPPENINGS Grandparents’ Day was an enormous success here at Malad Elementary School! Every grade worked hard all month on projects to display and tell the special visitors about. Kindergarten students spent the month learning about chickens and hatching eggs. First graders had displays to show the guests. Second graders learned about landforms and made landform models out of clay. There were displays and activities going on throughout the school, even a wax museum was available to visit. The show talent show, directed by Mrs. Christine Smith, was enjoyed by everyone. The book fair was busy and pictures of all the students and their grandparents were available. We were so glad to be able to have Grandparents’ Day again this year. Some classes still had time to work on a goal during the month of March. The first graders set their goal to pass off 90% of subtraction facts within 10 in 90 seconds. Those math wizards are Ellie Waldron and Carter Jones, Kyler Blaisdell, Jack Coleman, Dekker Davis, Hadlie Evans, Blakely Horsley, Lafe Huckaby, Austin Moss, Aiden Ostrom, Carter Schofield, McCall Summers, Wynn Werk, Olivia Briscoe, Camden Crowther, Jaxon Kelley, Grayson Tooke, Lorynn Ward, and Claire Wright. The second graders learned about 3-D shapes and their attributes. They had to identify, with 80% accuracy, six 3-D shapes by name and by their attributes. Those who accomplished this are Jagger Abeyta, Saigelyn Cox, Avery Daniels, Mil-
lie Ekstrom, Dempsey Firth, Ali Hanks, Cash Kimberling, Haylen Kimberling, Maudee Leavitt, Gracie Nelson, Payson Price, Brittyn Venable, Russell Wolz, Caroline Butler, Alyssa Cutler, Paisley Allen, Colt Price, Whittney Roe, Maggie Schow, Olivia Shandrew, Charlotte Teeples, Treyson Ward, Dax Beutler, Londyn Jones, Macoy Luke, Lacie Palmer, Boston Schofield, and Annika Smith.

ELRP Funding Update By Allison Eliason The USDA announced Thursday, March 31, that they would be extending the disaster relief payments to livestock producers due to natural disasters of 2020 and 2021 through the new Emergency Livestock Relief Program (ELRP). As many may recall, last September President Biden signed into law the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act to provide assistance to agriculture producers that incurred losses or higher than normal costs due to natural disasters. Of the $10 billion allocated for the relief, $750 million was specifically intended for livestock producers that experienced losses due to drought and wildfire in the 2021 calendar year through the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP). Producers eligible to receive these funds were able to apply through their local Farm Service Agencies (FSA). More than 100,000 producers applied for LFP funds, receiving nearly $670 million in relief. The new payments announced last week come as lawmakers recognize that in most situations, conditions have not changed over the last
several months. Taken from the USDA’s website, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack explained, “Producers of grazing livestock experienced catastrophic losses of available forage as well as higher costs for supplemental feed in 2021. Unfortunately, the conditions driving these losses have not improved for many and have even worsened for some, as drought spreads across the U.S.” Idaho producers can attest to the declining range feed as well as the increasing feed costs. Most ranchers had to bring cattle in off the range earlier than most years, increasing their at-home feed needs and costs. As producers look to buy supplemental hay, they continue to see elevated prices. The most recent hay and forage markets price good quality alfalfa hay at $240 a ton, with premium hay averaging $300 a ton. Grains, too, have increased in price, corn up nearly 25% from last year’s prices. In an attempt to help as many producers as quickly as possible, the ELRP funds are being distributed in a two-phase program. Phase one will automatically deliver payments to eligible livestock producers that had previously applied and
been approved through the LFP last fall. With their information and data already on hand, there is no need for producers to fill out any applications or provide any additional data. To qualify for these additional relief funds, producers must have incurred feed losses in a county considered to have D2 (severe drought) conditions for eight consecutive weeks or D3 conditions (extreme drought) or higher level of drought intensity during the 2021 calendar year. In an interview with AgNet Media, Undersecretary for Farm Production and Conservation, Robert Bonnie shared that producers can expect to receive their payments in the upcoming weeks, even as early as the next few days. The relief funding will be calculated based on livestock numbers and drought-affected forage acreage or restricted animal units and grazing days used in the LFP program. For producers considered historically underserved producers, including beginning, limited resource, and veteran farmers and ranchers, payments will be 90% of their LFP payment. All other producers will receive 75% of their LFP payment. Lawmakers are first
distributing funds to LFP applicants for a number of reasons, but initially because with their information and data already on hand, the payments can easily be expedited. They also are hoping that doing so will be an incentive for more producers to utilize and enroll in these programs. However, producers not already part of the disaster relief program need not to worry that they won’t be able to receive funding from the ELRP. Phase 2 intends to find and fill the gaps of other producers in need of assistance that haven’t previously applied. The USDA additionally shared, “The FSA continues to evaluate and identify impacts of the 2021 drought and wildfire on livestock producers to ensure equitable and inclusive distribution of much-needed emergency relief program benefits.” Crop farmers can expect a similar program to be announced in the coming weeks for crops that have incurred losses or additional costs, again, due to natural disasters of 2020 and 2021. The initial relief payments will be distributed to farmers using existing safety net and risk management programs such as the Pasture, Rangeland, Forage Rainfall Index Crop
The Origin of the Welsh Festival Many newer residents of Malad Valley may wonder why the Malad Valley Welsh Festival is held here. And many people may think that if they are not Welsh or have no Welsh ancestry, the festival has nothing for them. In an effort to preserve the pioneer history of Malad, the Welsh Festival began in 2005 and does offer something for everyone, whether or not you are Welsh! This history of the Welsh in Malad Valley dates back to the 1860s when many Welsh pioneers settled in Samaria and Malad, perhaps thinking that the valley reminded them of the green hills of Wales. (They must have come in the spring.) In the 1840s many Welsh people were converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by Dan Jones, the famous missionary who was fulfilling a prophecy given by Joseph Smith, founder and prophet of the Church. The new Church promised a spiritual rebirth for the Welsh people who had been forced to give up many of their beliefs when the English took over their country and coerced the Welsh to worship according to Church of England beliefs. Seeking an opportunity to practice their new religion and adhering to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ call to its converts to gather to Zion, hundreds of Welsh converts came to the United States. Under the direction of Brigham Young, many of the Welsh converts moved West in wagon trains and handcart companies. The Welsh tended to stay together in family groups and so settled in their new western Zion in towns that became heavily Welsh C Y

in culture, tradition, and language. Many Welsh families moved north to Willard, Utah, and from there to Samaria, Idaho, in the Malad Valley. Samaria became one of the most solidly Welsh communities settled by those pioneers. The other reason for the Welsh leaving their country and coming to the United States in the 1850s was economic. The English had taken over ownership of most of the mines and iron works that had made Wales prosperous. Miners and iron workers were reduced to eking out a bare living in dangerous jobs with little hope of advancement to management positions. Small farmers were barely able to scratch out a living on tiny farms, and crop failures were common. The Homestead Act of 1862 that promised free land in the American West to anyone who would settle and “prove up” the land was very appealing to all oppressed Europeans. Even before those settlers were homesteading in Samaria, another settlement was developing a few miles north and east in the Malad Valley. In the late 1850s, French trappers had camped along the river and became ill from the water. The unnamed French trappers moved on, but the name “malade” or “sick water” stuck. The anglicized version—“Malad”—became the name of the river, the valley and, by 1864, the city founded on the river. Malad City became a rollicking “gentile” community with many bars and gambling parlors. Two sides of town developed – one populated by religious pioneers from Wales and other European nations and one known for its less-desirable ac-
tivities. Commerce developed rapidly in Malad City as it became a major stop on the freight route between Utah and Montana. When the railroad arrived in Malad Valley and a depot was built in Malad, the population of Malad overtook that of Samaria. In the 1860s and 1870s, Church settlers of all nationalities came to the Malad Valley to homestead, work for the railroad, and establish shops. The members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were joined by the Presbyterians, Catholics, and “Josephites” (the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), all of whom built houses of worship. Gradually, the Williamses, Evanses, Joneses, Thomases, Davises, Griffithses, Prices, Jenkinses, Hugheses, Bowens, Edwardses, Morgans, Parrys, Reeces, Rodericks, and other Welsh families scattered throughout Malad Valley from Dairy Creek on the north to Cherry Creek on the south. They were joined by the Swiss (Buehlers and Schwartzes), Germans (Hesses), Scandinavians (Jensens, Christensens, and Sorensens), English (Wards, Kents, Hills), and French (Deschampses and Erramouspes). Most were
seeking one or both freedoms – freedom to practice their religion and freedom to own land. In the Malad Valley, they found both and learned to live together in cooperation and peace. Today, Malad Valley continues to have the largest concentration of persons of Welsh descent per capita of any place outside of Wales. The interest in Wales and all things Welsh has been rekindled in the descendants of those pioneer settlers with the founding of the Malad Valley Welsh Society in 2005. The 16th annual Malad Valley Welsh Festival will be held June 2425, 2022, in Malad City Park, downtown Malad and Samaria’s Heritage Park and will provide an opportunity to hear presentations about Welsh heroes, history and culture, listen to Welsh music, and even eat Welsh food before the Chairing of the 2022 Welsh Festival Bard. Kids’ games, wagon rides to historic sites in downtown Malad, readings of original poetry and stories, original art works and music of all types plus food and craft/ gift booths will provide entertainment for everyone, regardless of pioneer ancestry.

Insurance Program to similarly speed up funds delivery and encourage more producers to participate in these programs. The second phase will address any producers in need of assistance that didn’t previously qualify. Participating in such programs can often come with some amount of stigma. Some might see it as a sort of crutch or bailout for agriculture businesses. And while it does keep these businesses afloat, the truth is, every person in this country benefits from these programs. Producers that receive these funds are able to better afford and offset the demanding costs of such challenging times. As more farms and ranchers continue to raise quality crops and livestock, consumers are still able to afford quality foods for their families. Imagine if such programs were not available. Many farmers would have reduced yields, decreasing the food supply. As basic economics teaches, any decrease in supply with a high demand will result in increased consumer prices. Additional-
ly, producers would have such high input costs that they in return would require greater payments for their products, making foods even less affordable in a time of already increasing prices. In some cases, farms and ranches might not be able to alleviate the demanding costs and simply have to sell out. In a year where there is already a concern of global food shortages, any relief to food producers is a relief for food consumers. By providing such disaster relief programs for producers, both farmers and ranchers and consumers can find some measure of comfort that the future still holds some hope. While it doesn’t solve the problems the agriculture industry is facing from the natural disasters seen over the last few years, it does provide options for farmers and ranchers to keep going. With a little extra funds and a lot more faith, things could be looking up.

Spring 2022 General Conference Recap Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints gathered around the world April 2 and 3, to listen to testimony and council from the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and other church leaders. Their messages varied but all centered on the blessings of living a life following the example of Jesus Christ and bringing others to Him. Russell M. Nelson, president of the church, addressed the members in the Sunday morning session where he pleaded for members to increase the influence of the spirit in their lives. President Nelson said, “With all the pleadings of my heart, I urge you to get on the covenant path and stay there. Experience the joy of repenting daily. Learn about God and how He
works. Seek and expect miracles. Strive to end conflict in your life. “As you act on these pursuits, I promise you the ability to move forward on the covenant path with increased momentum, despite whatever obstacles you face. And I promise you greater strength to resist temptation, more peace of mind, freedom from fear, and greater unity in your families.” At the conclusion of the final session, President Nelson announced plans to build an additional 17 temples around the world. The new temples announced will be built in the following locations: Wellington, New Zealand Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo Barcelona, Spain Birmingham, United Kingdom
Cusco, Peru Maceió, Brazil Santos, Brazil San Luis Potosí, Mexico Mexico City Benemérito, Mexico Tampa, Florida Knoxville, Tennessee Cleveland, Ohio Wichita, Kansas Austin, Texas Missoula, Montana Montpelier, Idaho Modesto, California. There are currently 164 operating, dedicated temples, seven dedicated temples under renovation, 45 temples under construction and 49 temples announced and awaiting groundbreaking for a total of 265 temples worldwide. Quotes taken from the messages of General Conference “The Savior Himself invites us to come unto Him and take HIs yoke upon us that we may
have rest in this tumultuous world.”- Elder Adeyinka A. Ojediran “There is no substitute for the time you spend in the scriptures, hearing the Holy Ghost speak directly to you.”- President Mark L. Pace “When we truly are in awe of Jesus Christ and HIs gospel, we are happier, we have more enthusiasm for God’s work, and we recognize the Lord’s hand in all things.”- Élder Ulisses Soares “The blessings that flow into the lives of those who follow the example and teachings of Jesus Christ, who choose to be counted among His disciples, are numerous, joyful, and eternal.”- Elder Randy D. Funk “Jesus taught that our offering may be large or it may be small, but either way, it must be our heartfelt all.” - Elder Di-
eter F. Uchtdorf “The future is always uncertain. ... But there are some things we can control, including how we spend our time each day.” - President Russell M. Nelson “[Jesus Christ] can heal broken relationships with God, broken relationships with others, and broken parts of ourselves.” - Sister Amy A. Wright “Wounds and differences can be resolved and even healed when we honor God, the Father of us all, and Jesus Christ, His Son. The Great Healer of all is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. “God sent Jesus Christ, His Only Son in the flesh, to lay down His life for every one of us. This He did because He loves us and designed a plan for each of us to return home to
Him. But this is not a blanket, catch all, hitand-miss sort of plan. It is personal, set forth by a loving Heavenly Father, who knows our hearts, our names, and what He needs us to do.” - Elder Michael T. Ringwood “Striving to be self-reliant is part of our work along the covenant path to strengthen our faith in Jesus Christ and be joyfully bound to Him by the covenants and ordinances of salvation and exaltation.” - Elder Hugo E. Martinez “Followers of Jesus Christ should set the example for all the world to follow. I plead with you to do all you can to end personal conflicts that are currently raging in your hearts and in your lives.” President Russell M. Nelson.
were announced in Modesto, Calif., Austin, Texas, Wichita, Kan., Knoxville, Tenn., Tampa, Fla., Mexico City, Cusco, Peru, Santos and Maceio, Brazil, Birmingham, U.K., Barcelona, Spain, and Brazzaville, Republic of Congo. Missoula will be Montana’s third temple, joining those in
Billings, and Helena, which is currently under construction. The Wichita temple will become the first Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints temple in Kansas. The Barcelona temple will be the second in Spain, following Madrid.
New Temple Announced for Montpelier During this weekend’s General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, plans for the construction of 17 new temples were announced. The temple locations range from a number of temples in the U.S., to Mexico, Brazil, the U.K. and the Congo. The two clos-
est temples announced were in Missoula, Montana, and Montpelier, Idaho. While the Pocatello and Brigham temples are geographically closer to Malad, Montpelier is certainly a familiar location for most people in Oneida county. The announcement brings the total num-
ber of temples (active, under construction, and announced) to 282. Last year’s opening of the Pocatello temple was a major event for faithful members, and this announcement further enforces the momentum of temple expansions in the region. The Montpelier temple will become the ninth
temple in Idaho, with Pocatello’s as the most recent. The first temple in Idaho was built in Idaho Falls in 1935. Temples have been announced in Burley and Rexburg as well, with the groundbreaking of the Burley temple scheduled for June of this year. Additional temples

Not recommended for parents and kids By Dotty Thorpe Evanson We went hiking over Spring Break at the Red Cliffs Recreation Nature Trail in Hurricane, Utah. It was a beautiful day, not too hot, not too cold. The trail was perfect for kids, physically fit people; and for some of us older hikers as well. We had lunch first and then hit the trail. The kids were enthused, but Graham, Gia’s 4-year-old grandson, was the most exuberant. Up the trail, down the trail, off the trail, in the caves, over the stepping-stones, through the water, it was non-stop adventure for this boy, including looking for batman in the caves. At the end of the trail are a series of waterfalls and some natural slides that go into the pools. The kids waded through the pools and climbed up the slides. They were getting their courage up, deciding if they were brave enough to actually slide down those slides into the cold water below. That is everyone except Graham. He was on auto-drive. He climbed to the top, immediately sat on his rear, and slid into the cold water. He didn’t even think about it. Immediately, he started up again while the others marveled. As he got to the top for slide
number two, his legs went out from under him, and he took the slide before he was ready to take the slide. At the bottom he flipped over, crawled back up and was not happy. He was through with the sliding. After a bit, we gathered everyone and started back down the trail to find Grandma Red at the picnic site. Graham was still grumbling. The trip back was not going to be quite the happy adventure coming up had been. We tried to get him back to his happies with races down the trail, but wouldn’t you know, he tripped. That increased the grumbles. Then, we found a chalk rock. Attention was diverted to a rock that could write on cement and his focus changed. He had something to look forward to. He wanted to write! When we got back to the picnic area there was plenty of curb and Graham started writing. Life was good again. When your feet get knocked out from under you, and it happens to us all, how do you get over the grumbles? I’m not sure if Graham learned that a change of focus is the key or if it is writing, but one way or the other the grumbles disappeared and life really was good.

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017) On Sunday morning, April 2, President Thomas S. Monson of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced that of five new temples to be built by the church, one of the five would be in Pocatello, Idaho. This will be the sixth temple in Idaho, including Idaho Falls, Boise, Meridian, Twin Falls and Rexburg. The other four temples announced will be built in Brasília, Brazil; the greater Manila, Philippines, area; Nairobi, Kenya and Saratoga Springs, Utah. Annie Jr., a musical licensed by Music Theatre International's Broadway Junior collection and specially edited to be performed by youngsters in a shortened version of the original, will be performed in Malad at the Iron Door Playhouse on the evenings of Saturday, April 8, Monday and Tuesday, April 10 and 11; Friday and Saturday, April 14 and 15 and Monday and Tuesday, April 17 and 18. Pictured in the Idaho Enterprise is some of the cast for Annie Jr., who practiced during spring break. They are Kouper Tubbs, Jessica Colgrove, Ashley Ward, Hailey Spencer, Kris White, Maren Sperry, Brita Sperry, Shauna Spencer, Lance Zabriskie, Clayton Howard, Cambree Howe, Riley Hammer, Adi Schow, Tyler Wilson, Porter Ward, Hannah Zabriskie, Nathan Corbridge, Collin Spencer, Meg Sorensen, Abbie Cox, Brinley Clark, Mary Zabriskie,

This team consists of players from the southern half of the state selected to compete at a statewide AllStar basketball game. The 5th annual Malad women's business bowling tournament was held March 29, 2017 with seven teams participating. Nell Redfield Memorial Hospital was the winning team with a 2286 series. Bowling on this team were Nancy Asay, Kathy Hubbard, Shauna Mattox and Lacie Jones. JRD Properties followed closely in second place with a 2282 series. Team members included JaRon Burlo, Shannon Bennett, Stephanie Crowther and Sadie Crowther. Both teams earned cash prizes and a traveling plaque will be displayed in the business for the next year. Teams participating in this year's tournament in addition to Nell Redfield Memorial Hospital and JRD Properties were Allen Drug (2276), KJ's (2275), Hess Pumice (2274), Ireland Bank (2260) and Hess lumber (2256) 10 YEARS AGO (2012) Under the direction of Meaghan Brown who is enlisting the help of the Malad High School Student Council, the Malad Area Chamber of Commerce will host their annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 7 at the Malad City Park. Among the hundreds
(or thousands) of lottery customers making the trip from Utah were two friends from Salt Lake City who braved the line at KC Oil and were rewarded by purchasing a winning $250,000 Mega Million ticket. They have already claimed their winnings. The family of Paul and Darlene Evans is pleased to announce the 50th wedding anniversary of their parents. Paul and Darlene were married on April 7, 1962. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on August 18, 1966. The Oneida County Library had a special guest on Tuesday following the pre-school story hour. After hearing the story “It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown”, the excited children were led in the Bunny Hop around the library building by the Easter Bunny him/herself!
