Drive-In expected to reopen; Change in ownership, but not much else After a period of uncertainty about the future of one of Malad’s iconic eateries, a tentative agreement for its purchase has been announced. Bryan Scott, publisher of the Idaho Enterprise, is in the process of finalizing a deal to transfer ownership of the Drive-In from the Price family. After it was initially announced that the Drive-In would be closing, discussions around town largely involved anxiety about whether the historic carhop café might be permanently closed or completely changed. The Drive-in has been a fixture of the community for generations of Maladites since 1955, and there is scarcely anyone in town who doesn’t have a connection to it. There are also a significant number of people from elsewhere who stop in Malad to grab a burger, a shake, or their own personal menu favorite. Scott has stated that his purpose in purchasing the restaurant is primarily preserving its current form and the history that it holds. His plan is to maintain the same menu and recipes that have become so familiar to Malad residents over the decades, including the Glamour burger, cheese snack, and the

dandy. Scott also expressed his gratitude to the Price Family, " I truly appreciate Holden and Mariah trusting me with the legacy business". As the transition moves forward, there are a number of practical ele-
ments that need to be put in place, such as establishing food vending contracts, updating some infrastructure, hiring, and so on. However, Scott hopes that a Grand Re-opening will be possible within the month.
Event Center Hosts the return of the Lincoln Day Dinner for Oneida County
As the war between Russia and Ukraine enters its second month, there is no clear end in sight to the conflict. Russia has been accused of war crimes for its targeting of civilians by the Ukranian government, as well as the Biden administration and a number of other western powers, most recently Austria. The port city of Mariupol has largely been destroyed, and is believed to be close to being under Russian control. The Russian plan to encircle Kyiv has shifted to a strategy of occupying the eastern towns closer to Russia’s borders.
Temporary Lifting of Ethanol Ban
In an effort to stem the high cost of gasoline, the Biden administration is temporarily lifting the seasonal ban on ethanol containing fuel, which is usually in effect for the summer driving months. This ban was also waived during portions of the Trump administration.

It has been over two decades—almost three—since the Lincoln Day Dinner has been held in Oneida County. The dinner serves as a chance for those running in Republican primaries during the election season to meet with their constituents and reaffirm their support for the party platform. This year’s revival of the tradition brought in those running for local offices, including those running for County Commission seats and the busy District 27 seats, as well as a number of high-profile statewide and national seats. The dinner was very well-attended, and demonstrated the robust interest in Republican party politics across the valley. Local candidates/races The most prominent local races for the primary involve the two County Commission positions that are up this year. Currently, Ken Eliason in District 2 and Bob Christophersen in District 3 are up for re-election. Andee Parry has announced her candida-
cy for the D2 spot, and Brian Jeppsen has announced his candidacy for the D3 position. Larry Oja opened the meeting by explaining that he saw the contests as “different people running for the position, not necessarily against each other,” and the local candidates held to that mantra, even if some of the candidates for state and national office didn’t. All of the commissioner candidates stressed their connection to Malad, and their love of the people and community they hope to serve next year. Each emphasized their unique experience with the community, and what they thought they might bring to the table as representatives of Oneida County residents. Oneida County Treasurer Leigh Love and State Treasurer Julie Ellsworth spoke to the crowd about the state’s formation of a coalition of states who have banded together to combat restrictions on oil and gas companies under new federal regulations.
District 27 District 27 now represents Oneida county after the recent realignment of districts across the state. The former District 27 included the area to the west of Oneida county, while the redrawn boundaries move Malad and most of Oneida county into its borders. As a result, it is a highly competitive race, with a number of candidates in both the Senate and two House races. In attendance were Kelly Anthon, who recently visited Malad, and Jeanie Hakes, who are running for the state Senator positions. Anthon, who lives in Declo, is currently serving as the Majority Leader of the Idaho State Senate. He explained that his primary aim was to increase the agricultural voice in state politics. Jeanie Hakes stressed that her concern was in reducing spending at the state level. In District 27A, Doug Pickett, who is running against Carl Voigt, was in attendance.
The District 27B seat, which is one of the most heavily contested, was represented by Pat Field, John Stokes, Clay Handy, and Kevin Williams. Ryan Cook is also running for the seat. As a result of the now expanded area included in District 27, the candidates clarified that they had experience working with and in the ag communities that now fall under the district's purview. Statewide offices Governor Brad Little and his most well-known competitor, current Lieutenant Governor Janice McGeachin, were not in attendance, as they were attending similar events in other parts of the state. Governor Little’s spokesperson thanked and praised the event organizers and encouraged the crowd to support their local candidates and the Republican party itself. McGeachin, who visited Malad last fall after announcing her campaign, sent a representative who had LINCOLN DAY DINNER On Page 2

Jackson appointed to bench
Last Thursday, 51- year-old Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson was appointed to a lifetime position on the U.S. Supreme Court. The vote in the Senate fell mostly along party lines at 47-53, with 3 Republicans voting for confirmation after an occasionally contentious hearing. Jackson is the first African American woman to be appointed to the highest court in the land. Jackson will replace the retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, who was confirmed in 1994 during the first Clinton administration.
Shift in COVID Focus
While mask and vaccination policies are still at the heart of immediate COVID mitigation plans, emphasis moving forward is being placed on improving ventilation/HVAC systems for interior spaces. Since the virus is most often spread by aerosolized particles, more robust ventilation systems are beginning to be explored as ongoing mediation strategies by the CDC. With a reduced demand, many COVID testing sites are closing, including a number in Southeast Idaho.

Malad Drive In- Thank You The rumors are true! We have sold the Drive In. As it came time for our family to choose a new path it was never lost on us how well the community had served us. We can only hope that we were able to serve you just as well. We want to express our thanks to the employees of the Drive In during the duration of our ownership. It is clear that without you this would have never been possible. We grew to love all of you and will always have a place in our hearts for you. To our families-THANK YOU! At the drop of a hat you would be there whenever we needed you. The phone call mid-evening was never going to be a fun one but you kept answering the call. You showed up to help and made some of the best memories in the process. We will never forget those memories and the sacrifices you made on our behalf. The Drive In has been a part of the Price family for 42 years! Dorothy, Lynn, Holden and their families spent countless hours making sure every detail was
perfect each day to be able to provide, not only for their family, but also the community. The atmosphere at the Drive In was just as important to them as preparing the perfect Glamour Burger. A place friends could enjoy a milkshake together. The place your family always knew they were going after the dance competition. Fish Sauce that brought everyone back home. The Drive In has always been more than just food. We are so honored and grateful that we were able to be a part of the legacy that is The Malad Drive In. It is because of this that it was extremely important to us that the Drive In stayed a part of this community-exactly the way it is. We believe we have found the right person to do that. We are excited to come to the Drive In as customers and enjoy all that we know it has to offer. Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts to the community for the business and support you gave to us over the years. We will forever be grateful!

much more combative words for the current governor. As has been made clear through McGeachin’s public statements, her primary campaign issue with Governor Little is the implementation of COVID lockdown protocols over the last two years. Ammon Bundy, who also recently visited Malad, is no longer running as a Republican but rather as an Independent. The Lieutenant Governor’s race, mirroring the gubernatorial race, has focused on growth and the extent of the governor’s authority. Scott Bedke, who is currently serving as the Speaker of the House for his fifth term, stated that “in my time we’ve created the best state in the union to live in—the problem is that other people have discovered that.” He committed to managing growth. Priscilla Giddings, a combat pilot, has a platform that is reflective of that of current Lt. Governor Janice McGeachin, with a strong opposition to recent COVID policy, as well as spending. Raul Labrador, a founding member of the Freedom Caucus (which was formed during the emergence of the Tea Party), was present in support of his run for Idaho Attorney General. He has been a vocal critic of the current
state administration. Debbie Critchfield was present to discuss her run for State Superintendent of Instruction. She promoted her platform of “skills development for work readiness.” She emphasized the uniqueness of rural skills within the larger state system, and promoted the idea of requiring financial literacy classes for high school students. Dorothy Moon is running for Secretary of State. The Secretary of State is the principle election official in Idaho, and also serves on the Land Board. County Clerk Lon Colton spoke on behalf of Phil McGrane, who is running for the same position. National candidates At the national level, the Dinner was visited by two candidates running against Mike Simpson for the District 2 Representative position, as well as a colorful candidate for U.S. Senate. Flint Christiansen and Bryan Smith both described Mike Simpson as “not up to the job” and suggested that he was not representing the interests of many rural Idahoans. Smith specifically referred to him as a RINO, which was met with cheers from some of those gathered. Bryan Smith, an attorney from Idaho Falls, has been a particularly vocal critic of the veteran Representative.

Just this week, Simpson declined to join Smith for a televised debate as part of Idaho PBS’ debate series. The Simpson campaign stated that “voters don’t need to see more of Smith” to make their decision for the primary. A member of the very conservative Idaho Freedom Foundation, Smith has been especially critical of Simpson’s proposal to breach several north Idaho dams in order to preserve salmon runs. “I may be a lawyer,” he said at the Lincoln day event, “but at least I’m not a dam breacher.” Scott Trotter began his two minutes of time with a song, and continued with the same energy. Trotter is a “worship
pastor” from Lewiston, who is running on a specific platform of bringing “love and Christian awareness” to Washington, D.C. The event was put on by the Oneida County Central Republican Committee, chaired by Larry Oja. It was organized by local volunteer Cody Brower and catered by the Iron Door Smokehouse. Volunteers from a number of organizations including the Northwest Liberty Academy, Lydia and Madelyn Gonzales, and others, including the Boy Scout Troop 1776, who conducted the flag ceremony and helped serve guests.

Malad Middle School did not have anyone qualify to compete at state this year with the smaller group allowed to

The Importance of Ag Programs in Schools By Allison Eliason
If there is one industry that we simply can’t survive without, it’s the agriculture industry. With the various crops farmers and ranchers grow we have our basic necessities met from the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the homes we live in and even the medicine we take. Sure, many products can be synthetically manufactured in new and interesting ways, but altogether we need agriculture to survive. And in turn, in order for the industry to keep up with consumer needs and demands, agriculture needs bright new minds ready to work. Across the nation, communities and schools have programs and classes that provide the start our youth need to be a part of the growing ag industry. Some might find ag classes unnecessary or excessive for high school students, but in an agriculture community, such instruction is a must. Let's be honest that most interest in agriculture is going to come from those that already live in a rural, farm and ranch-based community. Many people often believe that these students that already experience ag on a regular basis don’t need or benefit from ag instruction in their high school classrooms and this couldn’t be further from the truth. Students that have agriculture experience outside of the classroom should be the target audience for agriculture. Often these students are exposed to one facet of the industry. From their time living or working on various operations, they likely gain a passion for the industry and work but not necessarily an understanding of the vast career possibilities. Ag programs that include instruction including sub-

jects like agronomy, animal science, engineering, automotive, plant and soil science, vet tech and ag business provide vital information for students that intend to continue their education in agriculture studies. Without a variety of classes to participate in, students can struggle to know where to start with their postsecondary education. Oftentimes, students that have skills, strengths and talents that lie in the fields rather than the classroom often struggle to enjoy any amount of school and learning. I know this because my own dad, husband and son fall into this category. They learn best by being hands-on and doing rather than simply learning from a textbook while sitting in the classroom. There are some subjects that can’t facilitate hands-on learning, but ag programs can. These classes may be the only courses that these students see any sort of success. Without them they might feel that there isn’t a place for them to learn. With them, they see a whole horizon of possibilities. Many of these program courses teach skills that aren’t only useful for the industry as a whole but provide skills for students to be employed immediately following graduation along with skills important for life in general. Students that participate in and learn from these classes are capable, prepared and able to work many more positions than they otherwise would have. These skills are important for building them as individuals, their families and our communities. Many ag programs not only prepare students for future careers in ag, but also to be future leaders in any career or industry. Students that have learned skills in debate
and discussion, public speaking, agriculture sales and marketing, agricultural issues, food science, meat science, livestock judging, and proficiency contests learn valuable skills that will help them become contributing citizens in their communities. High school ag programs are also important for exposing students that don't have any previous experience in the industry. Inside those classrooms are always room for anyone wanting to learn more about and be connected to ag roots. In fact, the United States is seeing a decrease in overall ag literacy throughout its populations. Having an agriculture program provides important learning opportunities for those more removed from the agriculture industry. It helps them understand where their food comes from and be better connected with those that provide that great service of such necessities. Even if students don’t enroll in any ag courses, having fellow students or facilities around them provides them with greater ag awareness than they would have otherwise. Just like beginning artists need art programs, budding scientists need science programs, novice musicians need music programs, young ag producers need ag programs. The agriculture industry is constantly changing with new and exciting technology and innovation. These young minds are the future of the industry and now is the time to prepare them for the opportunities that are waiting for them. They are the future producers of all our necessities and it's never too early to begin their learning. Agriculture programs help build strong capable students who in then in turn build strong capable communities.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR The official Enterprise policy is to allow one public statement from each candidate during the cycle, after which their messages will come in the form of paid ads. The following message, however, was determined to be of importance to the general public interest and not a direct promotion of any one candidate. The information about county voting presented below has been determined to be correct and instructive for the upcoming election. Election Clarification An election year is usually one that is filled with colorful signs, interesting articles to read, spirited discussion about all points of view on all sorts of subjects. One thing is for sure—like it or not, we are all involved, to some degree, in a hands-on and active civics lesson. And what a blessing and privilege it is to be involved to the extent of knowing that
your vote is going to determine the outcome of an election. An added bonus to this lesson is that there are committed, community-minded, service oriented folks of good moral character for us to select out local leadership who will represent us. A question that has been proposed on several occasions is the question of voting for commissioners, and whether you need to vote for only the candidate within the District in which you reside. To clarify an aspect of how the voting works for local commissioners, I submit the following: Oneida County is divided into three Commissioner Districts for the purpose of voting. An understanding in previous elections has been, and still is in some circumstances, that when voting for a commissioner it has to be for the commissioner in your district of residence. So, a ques-

tion that has been asked repeatedly is: Do you just vote for the candidate over the district in which you live, as you do in the school board election, or does everyone in the county get to vote for two commissioners’ seats regardless of their “home” district? The answer is that every registered citizen in the county votes for the two individuals they think will best serve the county. The District in which you live does not affect your vote for Commissioner. Exercising the right, as registered citizens, to vote for our representation in government matters, is such a and opportunity, and one for which I am extremely grateful. Voting may seem inconsequential until we no longer have the right, privilege, or opportunity to do so. A Friend in Liberty, Andee Parry

Grandparents Only
Not recommended for parents and kids By Dotty Thorpe Evanson Carla, Rebecca and I have lunch at Carla’s on Mondays. We eat, visit and play cards. Occasionally, Carla’s neighbor, Deacon, stops by to say hi and have a bowl of ice cream. Deacon is three and according to Carla is the smartest kid on the planet. My observation is he does do some real thinking. His last visit occurred while we were in the middle of a rousing game of Five Crowns. He ate his ice cream and watched, silently. We asked him if he wanted to play, he declined. We asked what his favorite game was. “It’s the one that has black things that go up and down and you hit them. It’s a lot more fun than playing cards.” He finished his ice cream and then vanished only to return in about two minutes with his mom and Hungry Hippos. I think mom wasn’t so sure about turning him loose with Hungry Hippos on his own. She hadn’t observed his silent watching, or she would have known he knew exactly what he was doing. These ladies were about to be hustled. We should have been more observant when he flashed his huge smile and said, “Wanna play?” Well, you bet. The game was set in the middle of the table, and he explained the rules. “Whoever gets the yel-
low ball wins.” Really? There were about 20 orange balls and only one yellow ball. He assured us that was the way to play. He dumped the balls in the middle of the game and yelled, “Go!” We started slamming those black things which made the Hippo mouths open wide. The first couple of rounds went to the women. Pretty soon we noticed he started capturing that yellow ball every time. I think it had something to do with his initial placement of the critical yellow ball to start each round. Smartest kid on the planet, he got us hooked, then showed us who the real master was. So, now when we reach for Five Crowns we think about Hungry Hippos and Deacon. After all, it is a lot more fun than cards, and we had the opportunity to play the smartest kid on the planet!

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017) Four members of the Oneida County Road crew were honored at Commissioners' meeting for completing requirements to receive Road Scholar and Road Master certificates with the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) T2 Center. Federal Aid Manager for LHTAC, Scott Ellsworth, was available to present the awards. Those receiving the awards were Nick Gugelman and Brad Williams as Road Scholars and Lin Higley and Scott Blaisdell as Road Masters. The history of having EMS and an ambulance in the Curlew Valley of western Oneida County began in November 1987 when Carol Eliason, Ken Eliason and Kristy Eliason began an EMT course in Malad and became certified as EMT's in February of 1988. At that time, there was no ambulance and no trained personnel in that part of the county. Carol wanted to become an EMT so that she would be able to help people in the community; and Ken and Kristy were just beginning to have a family and raise their young children on the ranch, so all three felt the need to be trained in what to do in case of an accident and to be able to have the equipment and skills needed to treat and transport someone who had been injured. Current volunteers for the Holbrook EMS are, Allison Eliason, Brayden Eliason, Ken Eliason, Kristy Eliason, Tresie Carter, Clayton Eliason and Shannon Worrell. The Brothers of Steel wrestling group from Malad had six wrestlers compete in the Idaway State Wrestling Tournament on Saturday, April 2, at the Idaho Center in Nampa. Riggin Montgomery earned the State Championship in his division. Tayson Davis and Drake Morrison each brought home the second-place medal from the tournament. Also competing were Bridger Barnes, Gavin Reel, and Zane Komrofske. Coach Devin Morrison said all six wrestlers that competed at state wrestled very hard and made their families and coaches proud. 10 YEARS AGO (2012) While going through his father’s (Bryan Scott) attic recently, Josh Scott found an old $100,00 Confederate note. No one is quite sure how it got into the attic of the home or where it came from. Dan Odell, physical operations manager for Conrad & Bischoff, Inc. of Idaho Falls, confirmed what many of us have already heard or guessed. A new convenience store will soon replace the Kwik Stop. The American Legion Auxiliary has selected their Girls’ State delegates to attend Syringa Idaho Girls’ State in June. Selected as delegates were Nicona Broadus, Carrie Christiansen and Nicole Hubbard. C Y

They will attend Girls’ State on June 17 – 22, at Northwest Nazarene College in Nampa. Six young pianists from Malad competed in the Northern Cache Valley Performing Arts Festival held in Preston. This competition is open to any instrumentalists and vocalists from Idaho and Utah. Competing from Malad are Landon Smith, Daegon Haycock, MaCall Smith, Hailee Haycock, Raegan Smith and Bryn Haycock. Two Malad High School graduates will compete as part of the College of Southern Idaho Rodeo team in the College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) in June. Trasen Jones and Lindsay Davis have been selected to compete in the CNFR as part of the (CSI) Men’s and Women’s Rodeo Team. 15 YEARS AGO (2007) The Junior Miss program has always prided itself in shaping the lives of successful young women, but the 2007 Malad Junior Miss Committee has worked hard to raise the local program to a new level. Consistent with the core Junior Miss theme of “Being Your Best Self,” the Committee hosted six subject-specific seminars to assist participants with improving in a variety of categories and learning important life skills that will last the girls well beyond their Junior Miss Experience. Participants participating are Erin Jenkins, Kiersten Cordingly, Ashlee Blaisdell, Erin Morley, Christina Peterson, Dani Howard, Daniele Williams, Tori Hill and Mary Anderson. Supporting Malad High School next year as the new Varsity Cheerleaders for 2007-2008 are Lindzee Thompson, Dani Howard, Karen Cudney, Shay Williams, Ashlee Blaisdell, Christina Greening, Tori Hill, Talissa Neal, Brittney Tubbs and Shawn’te Davis. Brock Rose and Patricia S. Sorensen of Malad have earned places on the Idaho State University 2006 fall semester dean’s list for the College of Education. The Oneida Crisis Center, Inc., has received a grant of $10,000 from the La-ZBoy Foundation to support services provided to abused women and children in Oneida County. 25 YEARS AGO (1997) Oneida Deputy Chris Bowen and his canine partner, Roy, were winners of a gold medal at the 1997 Utah Police Service Dog Championship, held March 26 and 27 at the Utah Police Academy in Salt Lake City. Competing against 20 other teams, the local pair topped the apprehension phase of the competition. Oneida County Hospital wants to continue its affiliation with a group of southeastern Idaho hospitals that have formed a regional cooperative. However, the local medical facility is not ready to jump into managed care and other
plans the organization is offering – at least not yet. Joshua David Bird, son of David and Barbara Bird, has accepted a call to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and will serve in the Dallas Texas Mission. He will enter the MTC in Provo on April 16. Ben Ray and Skylar Richins took first place honors at the end of the Malad Youth Friday Bowling season, only one-half game ahead of second placers, Derrick Tripp and Rich Higley. The annual Idaho State FFA Leadership Conference was held April 3-5 at the College of Southern Idaho, in Twin Falls. The following members of the Malad Chapter attended: Adam Alder, Trissten Asay, Melissa Asay, Melanie Burrie, Anton Jensen, Weston Nalder, Alex Panting, Platt Price, Janita Showell and Joel Wight. 35 YEARS AGO (1987) Chris Parry, son of Gary and Andrea Parry, has been named Valedictorian for the Senior Class of 1987. The Salutatorian honors for 1987 go to Clint Rohner, son of Dale and Karen Rohner. Both of these students achieved their respected positions by accumulation of ACT and grade point averages. Following a lengthy debate by the Malad City Council and a group of local businessmen, the reconstruction of the city tennis courts was given a green light Wednesday. Jack Allred has been a scouter all his life. Recently, he was presented the highest scouting award given by the Tendoy Area Council – the Silver Beaver Award. In receiving the award, Allred was characterized as a man who truly lives up to the Scout Oath, the scout Promise and all that scouting means. Two students at Malad High School appeared in a nationally televised seminar that aired on the C-SPAN cable network, April 4. The session, produced by the Close Up Foundation, featured the Malad students and other students from across the country in a question-and-answer session on immigration. Angie Briggs and Collette Daniels appeared in that segment. Wayne P. and Pauline Kent have been called to serve a 12-month mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Sacramento, California. The couple will enter the MTC on April 22. 45 YEARS AGO (1977) At their Thursday night meeting, the Oneida television translator board approved the selection of KID channel 3 of Idaho Falls to serve the Malad Valley with Idaho TV. Cherry Creek is the site for the translator station and was selected by board member Norman Jaussi. Citing health reasons, Dan E. Anderson resigned as administrator of the Oneida County
Hospital and Nursing Home at the monthly Hospital Board meeting. Seven tuckered scouts completed a 20-mile hike from the Malad 1st LDS Ward Church to Downata Hot Springs reported Bob Colton, scoutmaster. Completing the blistering walk were Troop 458 scouts Sid Lewis, Eddie Davis, Frank Powell, Mike Miller, Mike Jensen, Curtis Reeder and David Jones. The fellows enjoyed a soothing soak at Downata following their walk. Kevin J. Williams has been named Timeway loan officer of the Blackfoot office of First Security Bank of Idaho. Mr. Williams holds an associate degree from Ricks College and has attended Idaho State University and Brigham Young University. In order to settle the friendly rivalry that exists between the high school and elementary faculty, the two groups engaged themselves in their own version of a grudge match. Last week the MHS faculty defeated the elementary team in a softball game; 8-4. Already cries of “unfair!”, “we had a bad day,” and “rematch” are echoing through the elementary school halls. To satisfy the elementary faculty, a rematch is scheduled for later this month. Three Maladians placing high in the Ogden Gun Club Round Robin Shoot this past few weeks were trophy winners Roger Goddard, John Christophersen and Lynn Jenkins. 55 YEARS AGO (1967) Lorene Jensen, Idaho vice-president of the Future Homemakers of America was special speaker and honored guest at the statewide Distribution Education Clubs of America banquet in Boise where she officially represented the Idaho FHA. Also attending the banquet were Lynette Miller, Louise
Davis, Eileen Hill, Elsie Hubbard, Melba Jensen, Karine Hill, Renae Hill, Mary Ann Call, Patti Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Smith. Among 15 Utah State University sorority coeds who are candidates for “Daughter of Paul” is Barbara Deschamps, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Deschamps, St. John. Oneida County School Board announced that Jerry Esplin of Bountiful, Utah will be the new principal at Malad High School. He will replace Thomas A. Henretty who plans to attend the University of Oregon at Eugene, Oregon, fulltime to attain his doctorate. Mr. Esplin received his master’s degree and his administrative certificate from the University of Utah. He has had six years teaching experience and is presently teaching mathematics at Davis High School. Completing Officers Candidate School at Quantico, Virginia, Kerry South, son of Mrs. Myrtle Hubbard and a 1962 graduate of Malad High School, has been commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. Lt. South entered the service after receiving a degree in education at Idaho State University, Pocatello. 65 YEARS AGO (1957) Among outstanding intermountain country teen-agers featured in a special section of the Salt Lake Tribune recently was Don Castleton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Don Castleton, Sr., of Malad. The “Top Teens” were selected because of participation in student body activities, special qualities of friendliness and maturity. Don, 18, was voted “Top Personality” at Malad High School. Active in student government, he was named best student, played on the MHS basketball, baseball and football teams. He is a member of the band
and orchestra and sang in the operetta. He has worked part-time since he was eight years old. A petition of 40 persons seeking the re-election of Claude Kent as Mayor of Malad was filed with the City Clerk W.W. Thomas. Sponsored by the building committee of the Cherry Creek Ward, the annual musical stage show of the Utah Power and Light Company will be presented in the Malad Stake building on April 26. Entitled “Upalco Show Boat”, the musical will have a cast of 55 members directed by Albert J. Southwick, Salt Lake City voice teacher and director of several choral groups. The event is one of several held by the Ward to assist in raising funds for a proposed new church building. Walter Jones announces the engagement and forthcoming marriage of his daughter, Vera, to Lowell R. Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Davis of Downey. The wedding will take place April 12, at the Malad Stake Third Ward building. 75 YEARS AGO (1947) Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise in their finest are participants in the Auxiliary Barn Dance Parade: Merle Reynolds, Sally Thomson, Sarah Tapper, Evelyn Davis, Luceal “Cec” Deschamps, Ophelia Meyers, Dorothy Evans, Alyce Jones Warner, Verna Jones, Wanda Goddard, Margaret Thomson, Jane Price, Anna Lou Jones and Wanda Jones. At a well-attended meeting of stockholders of the Malad Valley Creamery company, stockholders, dairymen and businessmen, a motion endorsing the previous action of the stockholders authorizing a new building was passed by a large majority.

COUNTY COMMISSION MEETS 4/11/2022 CWMA Cost Sharing agreement Shelby Thomas presented the commission with the documents related to the Weed Abatement Area run jointly by Bannock, Franklin, and Oneida counties. The agreement covers the dispersal of funds to spraying for weeds on public grounds, and the distribution of chemicals to landowners who request them. The funding has been approved already, but requires signing by the Board of County Commissioners to be put into effect. County Attorney Cody Brower stated that he had reviewed the agreement documents and found them to be in order. A motion to sign the agreement documents was passed by the commission. The hourly wage for those involved in the spray application was put on the agenda for the next commission meeting. Boat Check Sheriff Arne Jones approached the commission with an update about this year’s budget for boat checks at recreational facilities. The department of Agriculture provides funding to counties for inspections related to invasive mussels. Oneida County and ISP contribute 35 hours a week to inspect boats entering Idaho on I-15 to ensure that they are inspected for the invasive species, as per state regulation. Any floatable devices, including kayaks, need to be inspected in order to be used in state waters. The check station has been very effective at limiting unwanted biological material. A Memorandum of Understanding with the Ag department was approved and signed. Tax Exemption Requests Four additional tax exemption requests were brought before the commission. Tax exempt status is supposed to be renewed on a yearly basis. The Oneida Crisis Center, Victory Baptists, the First United Presbyterian Church, and the Faithful Followers of Fatima (St. Paul’s Catholic mission) all submitted their letters to extend tax exempt status for the year. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints submitted their letter at the last meeting. The county has been approving renewals of the Tax exemption for local churches as a matter of course, but it had recently been brought to the commission’s attention that state law requires an official request for the exemption by the requesting agencies. Additional entities that need to apply for the exemption include organizations such as the Masonic Lodge, water departments, and a number of others. Qualifying entities will be contacted by the commission in the near future. A motion to draft a letter explaining the need for an exemption letter and application to the remaining organizations was approved. Fee Schedule Approach/Encroachment C Y
M K
Permits Lisa Baker from the Road and Bridge department discussed the issue of citizens in the county creating driveways/ approaches without going through the full permit process. Baker is interested in making the county’s records of homeowner approaches more thorough. Kathleen Atkinson from the Assessor’s office recommended attaching permits for these modifications to property to the records related to the property itself, rather than just the name of the current property owner. In that case, any transfer of ownership would also transfer the permit number and description to the new property owner as a permanent record. The concern about approaches built without proper permit authority is primarily safety. In order for safety on county roads to be regulated, the county needs to be aware of where access points to county roads are being established. Other issues include improper sizes and positions for construction elements such as culverts. A motion to attach approach permits to the property deeds in question was made and passed. Currently, approach permits are not carrying a fee. However, it was brought to the commission’s attention that the number of man hours involved in the granting and verification of approach permits was substantial enough that a fee was warranted. The implementation of a fee schedule will require a resolution from the commission. The commission and Road and Bridge decided to develop the specifics into a resolution at a later point in time. Road and Bridge requested the balance of payment for a vehicle at $139,495.39. The payment was approved. A survey on Depot Road was discussed. Road and Bridge eventually hopes to straighten out some of the S curves on the current road in order to make it safer and easier to manage for various road projects. Some of the property on the road is owned in conjunction with or outright by the Union Pacific railroad, which is one of the larger hurdles to the overall project. UP is in communication with the Road department about sorting out any transfers of ownership of leasing that may be necessary. Road and Bridge requested a survey of the area before moving forward. This road project would take place sometime after the Bannock Road project is completed in 2024 or 2025. The commission approved a road survey for Depot Road. A motion was approved to use Steven Freiburger as the official engineer on the project. Road Encroachment by farmland The issue of farmland encroaching on county road right of ways was brought up. Lisa Baker again reminded the
commission that when county roads are inspected and found to be out of alignment with road standards, they lose their state funding. The most significant problem with the road standards is the lack of road drainage as a result of farmland having been moved to the edge of the property line, rather than left with a drainage buffer. Cody Brower mentioned the possibility of choosing one area to begin with where bar ditches could be dug along the roadside in order to begin the process of regaining the required right of way buffers for the county. The difficulty of requiring homeowners in violation of the right of way to move their fencing back was acknowledged. The commission believed that the process would be best served by sending out notification letters as a first step. The commission made a motion to vest the Road and Bridge department with the authority to reclaim roads to the state mandated 50 foot width as necessary. Cattle guards in Pocatello Valley A request has been made by residents of Pocatello Valley to install cattle guards across the main road going through the area. Under the current road standards, the installation of cattle guards is the responsibility of those who desire them. The builder of the guard will also then become responsible for the correct installation and maintenance of the guard itself. The Road department clarified that it did not have the manpower or time to maintain a series of cattle guards throughout the county. The County Attorney’s argument was that the guard essentially functions the same way as a privately owned fence, which is the responsibility of the owner. Brower pointed to the guidelines regarding cattle guards in the new Road and Bridge standards, which are fairly stringent. The issue was discussed as something that would need more specific information before being acted on. Roads by Pumice mine An agreement concerning the dust-guarding of the road from Hess Pumice to the mine was discussed. A mile of the road under discussion was initially dusted by the county for a period of three years, after which the stewardship was turned over to Hess. The language in the original grant was discovered to be somewhat ambiguous about that transfer of duties, however. The road is heavily used during all seasons of the year, and some issues related to water runoff have been brought to Road and Bridges attention. The commission determined to speak with Hess about the maintenance of the road moving forward. Repeater Lease As a part of the new communications contract in place with the county for emergency services, the company requires
a lease for one of Oneida county’s cell tower repeaters. The issue of whether the lease for the company should be automatically renewed every five years, or require a renegotiation after that same interval was discussed. The lease was approved and signed by the commission. ARPA Projects John Williams and Fire Chief John Blaisdell, on behalf of the Fire Department, addressed the commission about the FD’s request for self contained breathing apparatus for department members. One request was for fully equipping 16 members ($158,652), and another for fully equipping six members ($52,297). The SCBA allow firefighters to enter a range of potentially toxic environments with relative safety, at least as far as breathing and exposure risks are concerned. The systems function essentially like SCUBA gear, with the obvious exception that they are designed for use above water. The systems include a pressurized air system, mask, hood, and tank. “Getting six new SCBA’s would be good… it’s a special skill to use them right. Our current leadership has been great at training.” Williams explained that the ARPA funds represented an extraordinary chance to purchase these items, which would normally be a major strain on the annual budget, but drastically increase the resources available to the department. While Williams suggested that having SCBA’s for the entire department, he acknowledged that in his experience he has not encountered a situation where more than that are likely to be needed at a single time. The request was made for the department as a whole, with potentially distribution/use arrangements with Holbrook to be determined. Williams reported that the average number of structure fires in the county every year was five. In 2022, there have already been three, with the most recent having occurred on the summit. As a function of the ARPA grant, funds need to be related to COVID related concerns. Williams explained that because the masks would be assigned to individuals, they would fall within the guidelines laid out in the grant documents. The commission approved a motion to spend $53,297 of ARPA funds for the purchase of six SCBA’s for the Fire department. Purchase of four Cassi Economic Development Car A purchase of a vehicle from the 4 Cassi Economic Development team for use by the Probation office for $2,500 was brought before the commission. A motion to pursue the sale was approved by the commission, and paid out of the capital budget for the county. Probation has been seeking a vehicle for the department’s use for several months.
Fair Board Fairgrounds roads and approaches for the Event Center were brought before the commission. The Fair Board suggested that a new committee was not necessary for the discussion of these issues, and that the Board itself would be able to discuss these issues. A bid for a parking lot for the event center has been received at $44K, which was good for 30 days. As the Event Center has been an attractive site for local and regional events, it was determined that maintaining and improving the facility was a county priority. However, the Center itself does represent a new budget concern for the county, and is not factored into any existing budget lines for an expense the size of a parking lot improvement. The issue of whether the proposed parking surface would meet the newly passed county Road standard was raised. Commissioner Christophersen was delegated to look into the compliance of the Road standards as they apply to bids for the parking area. Cody Brower was uncertain whether a parking lot for a county facility would be subject to the requirements for Road standards under the current code. County Clerk Lon Colton suggested that the extent of the PILT funds would be known by the next meeting, which would undoubtedly affect the funding decisions for such as project. The current bid fits under the cutoff for a public bidding process, which is $50K. The proposed improvements would involve a road providing ingress and egress from the Event Center lot, as well as parking surface up to the third set of light poles in front of the building. The exact nature of the road surface was one of the subjects of the discussion. Extension Educator Sawyer Fonnesbeck discussed the possibility of including improvements to signage within grants for community improvement. A $5,000 grant has been located to cover landscaping improvements for the Event Center. Plants, trees, shrubbery, benches, and other improvements would fall under the scope of the grant. The commission stated that they would take two weeks to discuss the various factors related to the Event Center’s exterior and make a determination about the course going forward at the next meeting. Gem Grant for Ace Hardware Mayor Joan Hawkins approached the commission to discuss a Gem Grant for an additional 1300 feet of required water lines in the area Ace Hardware is planning to locate its store. Because the city has already received a Gem grant during this cycle, the mayor requested that the county apply for the grant in its place. It had
been determined by the granting agency that the county would be eligible to sponsor the grant, which would allow the construction of the ACE/ IFA to move forward. Applications are due at the end of April. The mayor emphasized that the Gem grant prioritizes job creation, and suggested that the ACE/IFA store would definitely bring jobs into the local economy. The commission approved sponsorship of the grant, and the mayor expressed her gratitude for the county’s willingness to help with the overall economic development in the valley. Letter of Intent for improvements to the airport The airport committee has requested a letter of intent from the county about its intention to pursue an automated weather observation system. The system has a pricetag of $180K, which requires matching funds under the grant. The question of whether ARPA funds might be used toward the project was raised. The commission approved the ratification of the application grant for the system. Juvenile detention joint powers agreement Due to the county’s bed-sharing arrangement, the number of beds used by the county for juvenile detention is at 44% of its allotment (33 of 77 days). A ten year rolling average of bed usage shows that the county uses 1.88% of the total available space at the detention facility. A new proposal would change the pricing arrangements for leasing bed space in a way that will increase the expense to the county. The discussion basically boils down to whether the county will pay for actual usage of the bed space in the facility, or will pay an “ownership” fee that guarantees more space. The potential for “selling” some of the ownership aspects of the arrangement was discussed. Cody Brower explained that the relatively small size of the county, and its commitment to using other methods of juvenile remediation, result in minimal needs for juvenile detention. As a result of the infrequency of detention, a single individual can create a significant spike in the number of bed days required. Building Inspector As a result of the resignation of the Building Inspector Mick Udy, the county is in the process of hiring a new individual into the position. The position, however, is under some discussion at present. While the county is in the process of interviewing and hiring for the position, Udy will continue to act as the Inspector for the next several weeks. Rhonda Neal will be coordinating the application process and Planning and Zoning administration in the interim.

EASTER MESSAGES FROM COMMUNITY CHURCHES An Easter Message from the First United Presbyterian Church In the church I attend, and many 'Christian churches around the world, a large cross hangs at the front of the sanctuary. Christians do not worship this cross. It is a significant symbol that represents where Jesus my Savior died, the place where sin interacted with His holiness. There God allowed His perfect Son to die for the sake of every wrong thing we have ever done, said or thought. On the cross, Jesus finished the work that was required to save us from the death we deserve (Romans 6:23). In the protestant faith this cross now stands empty, symbolizing our risen Savior, who has conquered sin and death once and for all. Because of His sacrifice He alone is worthy of our worship and praise! Jesus not only taught us about sacrifice but He also lived it by giving Himself for us. His horrible death became

The Malad Stake Presidency Submitted by K. Brandon Ward
Several years ago, on an Easter Sunday afternoon, my 4-year old daughter shared something with me that she had learned earlier that day at church. She said, "Dad, did you know that Jesus lived, then died, then lived again?" Impressed, I replied, "Yes, I do. Do you know what that's called?" Her response was priceless. She paused for a moment in deep thought, then responded… "Tricky?". Indeed, the thought of living again after death can seem a little tricky, even for adults to comprehend. In the Bible we read of a wealthy man named Job, who uttered the timeless, ageless question, “If a man die, shall he live again?” (Job 14:14) Certainly this question has been asked by many of the human race throughout the ages. On that first Easter Sunday, Mary Magdalene and the other women came early to the Savior’s tomb bringing spices and ointments to complete the anointing begun before the Jewish Sabbath. She was greeted by an open sepulchre, the covering stone rolled away and the tomb empty. Two angels stood inside and declared: “Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead” (Matt 28: 6-7). Later, Mary saw and talked with the risen Lord, whom she loved so much, and became the first witness to His glorious resurrection. That same day He appeared to Peter; to two C Y
M K
disciples on the road to Emmaus; and in the evening to ten of the Apostles. To the apostles He said, “Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.” (Luke 24:34; Luke 24:13-35; 39). He then ate fish and honey in their presence, further dispelling their doubt. Jesus had done what no mortal had ever done - return from the grave. He had triumphed over “death and hell and the devil”, and because he did, so can we! (2 Nephi 9:26). “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? (1 Cor. 15:55). Jesus, out of a love beyond comprehension, gave His life for each of us. Easter is a celebration not only of the Resurrection of Christ but also of the universal Resurrection. Because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, all people will be resurrected. Their bodies and spirits will be reunited, never to be separated again. The empty tomb that first Easter morning was the answer to Job’s question, “If a man die, shall he live again?” Job later prophesied that he would be resurrected and that in his flesh he should see God. “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God” (Job 19:25–26). Easter is a time to celebrate the promise of eternal life through Christ. It is also a time when our valley begins to show her beauty as new blossoms, flow-
ers, and grass begin to grow. It reminds me of a poem written by Leslie Nebeker titled “Easter Time”. I love the world at Easter time Because everything is new. There are blossoms on our fruit trees And in our garden too. And where the grass was dead and brown, It’s starting to look green. The world just seems to come alive Whenever it is spring. It makes me think of Jesus And that great, first Easter Day, Of how He came to live on earth To teach us to obey. He died for us upon the cross And suffered for our sins. Then, like the trees and flowers in spring, He came to life again. And now when it is springtime, I’m filled with Jesus’ love. I know He rose again so I Could live with Him above. I bear witness that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. I testify that it was no trick! He did in fact rise the third day, resurrected and perfect - and because of Him we will also rise again. He lives today and loves each one of us and will help guide us as we seek Him. We as a stake presidency wish to express our love for each of you and pray that His love and peace will be with you during this Easter Season and always. David R. Jensen Jason C. Sperry K.

The World We Live in Today Pastor Jack Harwell, Victory Baptist Church
The world we live in today is a fallen world. We have had the opportunity to live in a country that has had God’s provision and Satan’s provision at our fingertips. We have had a covenant nation, as Israel did. And Israel did, we did also—we broke the covenant (contract) we had with God. I have had the pleasure and privilege of doing a Revelation Bible study now for a few months. I say it has been a privilege because I love to look in and teach the deep meaning of God’s Word. I have seen some of the revelation into how this ends. It has also been a pleasure to have the Spirit of God count me worthy, but not in how good I am but how good He is. I have also experienced the sorrow that I see in our country in regard to where we think we are with God and the report card he gives to His churches. I see that we think all this is doing to blow over and things will be better again. I see that we hope we are not going to have the same problems the rest of the world is having to endure. We hope we will be happy, comfortable with no problems. But I see in God’s word, that it might be better for us to go through the Fire of God even if it comes from another nation that we might get broken. That our souls would cry out to God because we are hurting, uncomfortable, and persecuted. That we will be tried and tested by God or whomever he chooses to get us back to the place that we had forsaken years ago. I see in God’s word that people who have riches, pleasure, and comfort tend to forget the true blessings of God. We don’t need God when we have all we want and need—as long as we are comfortable, happy, and not having troubles. We tend to call out to God only when we are in trouble. How many people do you know that cry out to God when
they have all they think they need? They may thank God for some of what He gives, but to be without they cry out to Him for help. I see people who think they deserve all they have because they think they are good. I see some who should thank Satan for what they have is the one that gave them what they wanted. As a nation we should cry out to God and turn back to Him and repent our sins. Revelation chapters 2 and 3 are report cards to seven churches, that also should be seen as applying to all churches and all people that claim to be Christians. Jesus warns that a church and a person should not allow the influence of the world to control them or compromise God’s word. Jesus warns that we should follow the Holy Spirit of God so that we can discern the true things of God. So we can discern doctrine and theology that is not from God. So we can discern where we are personally with Jesus and make the right choices. Jesus tells us what we should do if we are not right with His truth. We should repent and turn back to the basics of God’s word and works of faith, not works for favor from God. We need the Holy Spirit to discern the difference. What kind of work do you do? The one’s trying to get into heaven, or the ones because you are His child and He is your savior? If we love the Lord then the world will see it, and if we are not the world will see it also. I love the Lord Jesus Christ because He loved me and saved me. I serve the Lord because I am His child. God’s word tells us not to be like the world, but to be like Him, and this is what He wants from us. Jesus tells us He is coming back at some point and according to His word it may be soon. How important is it to be right with God when He comes? Will He find anyone that loves Him when He
comes or will HE find only people that say they love Him without showing it with their actions? Jesus tells us His angels will separate the wheat from the weeds, and the weeds will burn in his judgement. The Bible tells us this will be just and right and fair, whether you feel like it or not. God has given all of us an opportunity to be right with Him. He has gone above and beyond any measure to allow us to come to Him, but if choose not to then we will get our own just rewards. Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. The Bible tells us Jesus is the way and the truth and the life and He is the only way we can go to heaven. We have to come to Him by faith and believe in Him that He is who He claims to be. We need to know that He said He would return someday as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords to judge the world and those in it. I think by the signs of the times that that time is very soon. He will judge the nations of the world. The people and nations that have rejected Him will be judged for their sins. Jesus came to die the first time. The Bible tells is that God so loved the world that He gave his only son that whosoever believed would be saved and have eternal life (John 3:16). Jesus rose from the grave to show us He had victory over death and the grave. Jesus wants us to come to Him and believe in Him and repent of our sins and turn from them to a life of serving Him by doing His work by faith. God bridged the gap so we could come to Him. It is up to you to make that move. I pray that this Easter you might come to Jesus and truth in Him and His grace for your salvation and eternal life. Know this is up to you and you alone. Are you a sinner? We all are!

For Christians throughout the world this Lenten Season has been a time of reflection and great sorrow. The happenings in Ukraine has brought about a time of great sadness. It seems as though we as a civilization bring one hardship upon another not having learned from the past. For all of the seemingly terrible darkness that surrounds us, we have a great light that will again shine this com-
ing Easter. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will have risen from the dead. The single greatest event that has ever occurred will be celebrated throughout the world. Why is this so important? Why for Christians is this so awe inspiring? Because He lives. Because Jesus who suffered and died for our sins has taken them upon himself that we too may live with him eternally. He rose from the dead so that
we can also rise from the dead. We have hope because of our Lord and Savior. We have hope that the endless sadness and sorrow be wiped away. Let us all pray that during this Easter Season that new life may be given to our world. A life that our Savior brings to us. One of kindness, caring, compassion, forgiveness, and above all else love for our fellow man.

COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 4/6 Building Permits Five Ag permits and six Residential permits were issues during the month of March, as well as a permit for a metal carport, and a commercial permit for a cell tower addition. Building Inspector Mick Udy stated that there were no concerns with any current or pending permits. The permits for March were approved by the commission. Tyrell Thomas Development Tyrell Thomas addressed the commission about the potential for creating a minor subdivision from existing property with the intention of selling the lots. Josh Paskett explained changes to the Development Code to cover Major and Minor Subdivisions. A Minor Subdivision can be created from an existing plot, as long as it is not subdivided into more than four resulting lots,
provided there is an existing frontage. The desired lots have various conditions related to the frontage requirements, with one of the lots clearly having a frontage, and others being located on a private road. The private road is the primary motivation for Thomas’ interest in creating the lots for sale. The commission and the Building Inspector felt that the only way to create a situation in which the lots could be sold is to have them classified as a Major Subdivision, with a wider access road and turnaround. Thomas had a number of questions about the necessary elements for the access road under the new Road and Bridge standards. In order for lots to be created under the Major Subdivision standard, an access road built to county standards is
necessary in order to facilitate garbage trucks, school buses, and other county vehicles. The commission advised Thomas to pursue an application for Subdivision. It was also suggested that a single lot could be sold off with simply a record of survey. At the time the second home was built on the property, an easement was given for access through Thomas’ property. No members of the current commission were present for any of the decision making or deliberation of the granting of the building permit, and so were not able to directly comment on it as a regulatory issue. The commission requested that Thomas locate any documents produced by the county at the time in order to determine what the legal obligations might be moving forward. It was sug-
gested by the Thomases that an agreement with the county did (and therefore does) exist, and would be binding despite the changes to the Development Code in the intervening time. The commission suggested that they would honor any prior agreement with the county regarding the road requirements, if those documents could be produced by the PZ meeting in June. A motion to that effect was passed. Update on Development Code The Development Code is still undergoing its finalization process. The effect of the new code on future development for the airfield was discussed, as some of the setback requirements for structures may be more stringent than the hangars that have already been constructed at the airfield. Mick Udy and Parker
Venable discussed possibilities for bringing the hangars closer to compliance and establishing a path moving forward for any future airfield construction to meet the requirements of the Code. The commission decided to examine the development code as individual members in electronic form and discuss them during the next scheduled meeting, rather than attempt to discuss the entire document during the meeting. Mick Udy Leaving as Building Inspector Building Inspector Mick Udy, who has been operating in the position since last summer, has resigned from his position. Udy has decided to pursue other opportunities, though he will be on hand to serve as a consulting Inspector for the next two or so weeks as the county begins the in-

terviewing and hiring process for the position. A job posting is active, and the county hopes to make an appointment as soon as possible, especially since the spring and summer are typically very busy building seasons. The Planning and Zoning office reports that it has had six building permits filed in just the last week. A farewell celebration was held for Udy on Friday at the P & Z office, where he was wished well by many members of the public as well as the county administration, who were grateful for his work over this last year and a half. In that time, it was agreed that Udy had been instrumental in streamlining and clarifying the permit process, and pursuing a new Building Code, which is just now beginning to come into effect.
APRIL 2022 NEWSLETTER April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The Oneida Crisis Center recognizes the importance of families and communities working together to strengthen families to prevent child abuse and neglect. They have plans during the month of April to get this important message out to the public. When you see blue pinwheels throughout the city and county, you will know that this is a reminder. The blue pinwheel represents innocence and is a national symbol for child abuse
prevention. In addition, there will be banners at the Oneida County Courthouse, Thomas Market and at the corner of Bannock Street and 200 West by the hospital. The Crisis Center will have information tables set up at the entrance to Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital and in the waiting room of the Oneida County Clinic that will be free to the public. They will also host a coloring contest for preschoolers through 5th grade at the Malad Elementary School, with prizes to
be awarded. This is all to bring awareness about child and family well-being and to encourage all residents to work together to make children our Number One priority. We can all help families and children by providing support to those that are struggling so that our children can grow up to be healthy, thriving members of our community. What can parents do? Here are some ideas: • Try to understand your children. Learn how kids behave and what they can and can't
