Large crowds gathered for the annual Easter egg hunt at the City Park on Saturday
Easter Activities Held Across the Valley As the weather turns warmer and the signs of life return across the Malad valley, a number of Easter events welcomed in the dawning of the season over the weekend. From Easter egg hunts to traditional Easter church services, an atmosphere of rebirth took hold. On Saturday, the traditional Easter egg hunt for the valley’s children was held in various locations, including the main event at the City Park. The Easter Bunny himself made a dramatic entrance to the event on a helicopter to survey the scene, after which ambulance sirens signaled the beginning of the hunt. Hundreds of kids showed up to participate in the mad dash for eggs, prizes, and fun. Some of the eggs contained paper that could be redeemed for a stuffed animal, donated by Malad Family Dollar. The fifty golden eggs scattered among an estimated 4,000 donated by local merchants granted the winners a milkshake from the Malad Drive-In. The Drive-In is currently planning its
grand re-opening for some time in the next few weeks. The event was supported by the Oneida County EMTs, ATC, and other local merchants. ATC provided hot chocolate and doughnuts. A full list of the 50 golden egg winners is included at the end of this article. On Sunday morning, the Interfaith Council sponsored an Easter Sunrise Service, which brought over 70 people to the City Park as the sun crested the mountains to hear the message of Christ’s resurrection. Speakers including Pastor Jack Harwell of the Victory Baptist church, Art Martinez of St. Paul’s Catholic mission, David Jensen of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and Toni Werk of the Presbyterian church were on hand to provide a range of voices celebrating the season.

Plans for Co-op Remodel During last week’s city council meeting, the council approved architectural plans for the planned remodel of the Co-op building. The building, which has largely been closed (outside of occasional events such as the History and Art Walk, and the Welsh Festival) for a number of years, has been slated to become a new focal point for city government and business. While there is an existing pool of money that has been raised through donations in place to begin the process, grants for city infrastructure will most likely become the primary source of funding. The city’s recent sale of property to Diamond Ridge also provides at least a potential source of some funding if the city council decides to use any of it for that purpose. The process of turning the building into a usable space will be a long and complex one. The city’s first concern is in restoring the exterior of the building, which is extremely weathered. In order to repaint the surface, a professional test of the bricks and existing paint will need to be performed to determine the best approach. High pres-
sure washing, for instance, will almost certainly not be possible on the surface in its current condition. The council approved $2,500 for an initial test of the building’s exterior during its last meeting. Following the test, painting itself will require a significant expense of time and resources. Again, this sort of project is likely to fall under an existing grant. After the building is updated in its outward appearance, a number of substantial internal improvements will need to be made. Of primary importance to the integrity of the building itself are lighting and plumbing. As the current infrastructure is outdated and not up to current code, the “guts” of the building will need a great deal of work. In addition to those basic elements, the Co-op will also need an ADA compliant elevator, since the Provisional designs for the Co-op building remodel were building will function as an presented at last city council meeting official governmental facilCenter several times in the renovation to update the elity.

NEWS IN BRIEF CDC Travel Mandate for masks struck down
A federal judge in Florida ruled against the Biden administration’s mask mandate for airplane and train travel, finding that it exceeded the statutory mandate of the CDC. It is unclear whether an appeal will be filed halting the ruling. If it is not, the extension of the mandate to May 3 will effectively cease to be in effect.
Priscilla Giddings drops out of Lt. Gov debate
The candidate for Idaho Lt. Gov announced that she would no longer be attending the scheduled debate sponsored by Idaho Debates. Her campaign gave the reason that they required to know the names of the journalists who would be asking questions in order to determine whether they felt the questioners would be “fair and respectful.” The names of the questioners have never been released in the past, and the rules are the same that were in place when Giddings agreed to the debate, opponent Scott Bedke’s camp responded.
Roki Sasaki throws 17 consecutive perfect innings The Japanese pitcher threw a perfect game on April 10, striking out 19 batters for the Chiba Lotte Marines. During his next game, he was pulled after 8 perfect innings during an eventual loss to the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters. In the process, he has retired a record 52 straight batters. There are strong rumors Sasaki is considering a move to the MLB.

Sunrise Service Welcomes Easter Morning Easter scriptures from the Gospel of John. Inspirational messages based on scriptures from the Old and New Testaments were presented by President David Jensen of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Pastor Jack Harwell of the Victory Baptist Church. Special musical numbers were performed by the Brian Jeppsen family and the trio of Emily Christiansen, Carrie Ann Jensen and Pennie Wolfe. The prayer of thanksgiving was given by Tina Fesler. The congregation enjoyed singing the traditional Easter hymns “In the Garden” and “Christ, the Lord, Is Risen Today.” At the conclusion of the service, Art Martinez of the Catholic Church asked those present to remember the people suffering in Ukraine and to be generous in donating to the Interfaith Coun-

giving checks made out to the Interfaith Council to any member of the Council. Latter-day Saint Charities is working closely with interna-
ed in a central location throughout the year, as well as events which might be held in leasable/rentable space in the building. While the project will undoubtedly take place over an extended period of time, the initial
steps have been taken to move it forward. If the reality follows from the plans so far outlined, it should lead to a modern and professional space that manages to retain the important history of Main Street and Malad itself.

along with Pennie Wolf, met the morning with song. During the week, the Nell J Redfield Memorial Hospital put on a “Peeps-show” at the Longterm Care Facility, featuring dioramas created by various hospital departments utilizing that perennial Easter treat, Marshmallow Peeps. The diorama was named "Residents' Choice" ranged from the nostalgic (such as Radiology’s Gilligan’s Island display) to the whimsical (the Clinic’s Peep Camping display). Awards were given for the funniest (the Clinic), Best Use of Peeps (Paula’s Peep Farm), Residents Choice (LTC staff’s Up), and Most Creative (Radiology’s Gilligan’s Island). The activity was designed to bring some Easter cheer to the Longterm Care Facility for the season, and give the staff a chance to show off their artistic and creative skills. It was organized by the LTC Activities Committee. The Easter Bunny also took the time to visit the Evening of the Arts, held at the end of last week. The event featured seasonal chorale arrangements by the MHS Chamber Choir, as well as the aforementioned special visit by the rabbit of the hour.

The sun came through the clouds partway through the Oneida County Interfaith Council Sunrise Service on Easter Sunday, April 17, warming the 70 people of all faiths who had gathered at 7:30 a.m. to hear Easter messages and songs. According to Edna Palmer, the Sunrise Service has been a tradition of the Presbyterian Church since the late 1800s with services held up Two Mile Road, at the Malad City Cemetery and now at Malad City Park. The Interfaith Council has presented the Easter Sunrise Service since 2012 to bring the community together to celebrate this solemn yet joyous occasion.

Evening of the Arts Raises Funds for Hospital The Evening of the Arts event, which was postponed over the last two years due to COVID concerns, was held at the Event Center last Thursday. The event, which featured the contributions of a number of local artists and volunteers, returned as a resounding success. The event raised several thousand dollars for the Nell J Redfield Memorial Hospital between the live auction and table auctions over the course of a lively evening. All proceeds from the event will go toward updating the patient rooms on the acute care wing. Over the course of the last month, the Enterprise has been featuring profiles of the artists involved in the event, who included Doug Adams, Cody and Annie Brower, Bob Crowther, the Hess family (Don Lee, Lois, and Rosemary), Linda Lundquist, Tony McClain, and the students of Dianne Adams, as well as the Malad Elementary School 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students of Christy Oja, and the MMS and MHS art students of Krystal Tavoian Fonnesbeck. As visitors walked into the Event Center, they were met by an impressively arranged selection of the artists’ work. The finely crafted bell created by Doug Adams greeted people at the entrance, and was eventually raffled off at the end of the night. An enormous mural by Lois Hess depicting the 1848 burning of the Nauvoo temple immediately grabbed attention on one side of the large event space, and finely craft-
Winners of the live auction were as follows: Fire ring built and donated by Josh Profraizer -- Dr. James Pickett Watercolors created and donated by Dianne Adams -- John Williams, Christina Bernal, Kathy Hubbard Steer skull prepared and donated by Tony McClain -- John Williams Three-night stay in cabin in Island Park donated by Jim Everson -- Mike Hess
ed aluminum anthills on the other. Between those extremes in size and media were watercolors, resin-works, oil paintings, taxidermy displays, photography, and other creations. The artists themselves were on hand to answer questions and discuss their work. Cody Brower, for example, ran through the process of creating aluminum anthill sculptures with many curious visitors, while Tony McClain went through the finer points of taxidermy. The MHS Chamber Choir was in attendance to add music to the affair, featuring a number of students who received “Excellent” scores at districts. The group performed several appropriately excellent renditions of chorale arrangements. Tables featuring over 60 donated gift baskets from local and regional businesses, organizations, and individuals

were set up, and saw busy traffic throughout the night. Toys, beauty products, art, overnight stays at the Malad Hotel and the Black Swan, tickets to the Hale Center, Iron Door Playhouse, and Tuacahn, decorative rock and soil conditioner, car and truck accessories, gardening supplies, and gift cards for eateries and local services all ended up inspiring a lot of last minute silent bidding. In addition to the items, many of the businesses involved made cash donations to the event, or provided other support. The main event, the live auction portion of the evening, was an entertaining sight. Emcee Steve Daniels kept the crowd lively and involved, and did his best to keep the bidding going as long as possible.

Several of the items, such as the fire ring and cabin rental, were heavily bid on. The back and forth of bidders going at each other for the prize was vocally noted as being as fun for the audience as for the participants.
The event was set up and taken down by the MHS Baseball team, and the caramel popcorn was made by culinary arts students for Malad High School. The event was put on by the Oneida Hosptial Board Foundation, whose
members are: Roxanne Albretsen, Dianne Adams, Doug Adams, Kallie Blaisdell, Paula Davis, Sandy Facer, Kathy Hubbard, Angie Ihler, Lynn Moore, Caleen Pickett, Jean Thomas and John Williams.

Kristal Ford prepares to hand her title to this year’s Distinguished Young Woman Kristal Ford will hand her title over to a new Distinguished Young Woman on Saturday night, April 23, at the end of a program where seven young women will compete in fitness, self expression, and talent. Earlier in the day they will have completed a ten minute interview with the panel of five judges, who are also the program judges. Prior to the program, their scholastic abilities were judged by a specialist chosen for their expertise in that area. Participants in this year's program are Katie Marble, Becca Ward, Kaleigh Worrell, Rayleigh Barnes, Raegan Smith, Alexis Shaw, and Journie Tovey. The theme for this year's program is "Shine." Chairman Paula Davis and Production Chairman Hailey Sweeten have been working with the girls, along with their hostesses and other committee members to make this program a chance for the girls to truly shine. Judges Chairman Pamela Mills and Interview Chairman Shawna Daniels have been hosting an interview workshop and mock interviews for the girls to increase their knowledge of interview

Government is not much different than a large gate. Three hinges of a free and effective government are: • fiscal conservatism • decisions based on Constitutional principles • protection of the individual’s rights of life, liberty, and property Today in this ad I address my fiscal conservatism standard. With inflation encroaching into each of our lives and threatening our financial welfare, I advocate tax reduction, limited government and spending, deregulation, when possible, privatization, and minimal government debt. Vision and planning ahead for what will most likely need to be addressed in the future, is critical to avoid government debt. And key to remember is that the government is us! We are the source of “government’s spending”, they have only the money they collect from us. It is critical to avoid government debt and the entangling alliances associated with it.

Kristal was able to create many friendships with girls from all over the state. They worked tirelessly every day on their different routines while also making memories, building relationships, and sharpening their public speaking skills. She values the skills that she has developed and knows they will benefit her throughout her life. Kristal is currently a member of the Malad High School Cheer Team and the Malad FFA Chapter. She is in Honors Society and in the Top 25%
of her Graduating Class. After graduation, Kristal will be attending Idaho State University in the fall where she will be finishing her associate's degree in paralegal studies. She will then proceed onto University of Idaho for three years to get her Juris Doctorate degree to become an attorney. Kristal would like to thank everyone for all their help, love, and support over the last year as she as represented our community as Distinguished Young Woman of Malad 2022.

Kristal had a fabulous experience at the state program which she attended last fall. At the state program, winners from around the state gather together for a one week intensive program with program nights at the end of the week. An overall winner is chosen to compete at the National Level.
Wisdom and prudence and discipline are vital to budgeting and saving and spending. There is no easy way, just a very disciplined one! A commissioner is accountable of those who elect them. Being accountable is a virtue that invites good management and honesty. So, let’s start with this: Do you know: • How much tax revenue is coming in? A commissioner should. • How is that revenue being spent? You should. That is what your commissioner is for!

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017) Many local arts enthusiasts took advantage of an enjoyable cultural evening by attending the Sixth Annual Evening of the Arts sponsored by Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital foundation on Thursday night, April 11. This year the display was held in the Malad High School gymnasium where the original art of Doug Adams (metal bell sculpture), Dianne Adams (watercolors), Ryan Adams (metal work), Lloyd Bush (nature photography), Troy Estep (photography), Gary Fesler (wood carving) and Nick and Harmony Jones (fantasy photography) was on display. In addition, the students of Malad Elementary School 4th and 5th grades exhibited "Close Up Cows" and "String States". Malad High School seniors Emmah and Hanah Peterson have both signed letters of intent to continue to play sports at the next level. They have committed to play for two different colleges in two different sports. Emmah Peterson signed to play volleyball at Walla Walla Community College in Walla Walla, Washington. Hanah Peterson signed a letter of intent for Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, Oklahoma, where she will play basketball The twins are the daughters of Heath and Dava Peterson. The new Malad High School 2017-2018 cheer team was recently announced at Malad High School. Tryouts were held on Wednesday, April 12. Those selected to be members of the squad next year are McKenzie Colton, Abby Timothy, Breelle Daniels, Sadie Giles, Abrielle Goddard, Brenna Williams, Tristan Bailey, Hannah Bird, Ashlynn Brown, Jordan Brown, MaTece Davis, Trae Hill, Hannah Brown, and Shannen Hudnell. 10 YEARS AGO (2012) Recently joining the ranks of the Oneida County Sheriff’s Department, Oneida County welcomes Josh Purser, a Franklin County native. Nucor Steel recently awarded $3,669 in grant funds to instructors in Malad High School, Malad Middle School,
Malad Elementary School and Oneida High School. At the Boy Scouts of America Grand Teton Council Malad District Dinner at the Malad LDS Stake Center, two Malad Scouters and two community servants were honored with special awards. Recipients of this year’s District Award of Merit were Bobbie Garrett and Michael Hess, Jr., while the “Hero in the Community” award was presented to Ralph and Lamona Bennett. Jessica Sorensen was selected to be a member of the 2012 Girls’ AllState Basketball Team. The 2A Girls’ Basketball Coaches chose Sorensen for this honor. The Malad High School baseball team finished with a 3 -1 record at the Glenns Ferry Wood Bat Tournament. Named to the Glenns Ferry All–Tourney team were Kyle Daniels, Dan Blaisdell and Bracken Gibbs. 15 YEARS AGO (2007) The Oneida County Commissioners passed a resolution April 16, declaring an official need to construct a new county jail and ask local residents to pay for it. The resolution calls for a May 22 election in which qualified county electors will be asked to approve issuance of up to $5.6 million in bonds to construct a 64-bed jail facility The bond term is 20 years. Four residents met the April 13 deadline to file their candidacy for the Oneida School Board. “Incumbents Kathleen Atkinson, Sherrie Johnson and Lisa Willie filed for Zones 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Kirk Willie filed to run against Atkinson in Zone 3. Nine junior girls at Malad High School are gearing up for the Malad Junior Miss Program, slated for April 28 in the Malad Elementary Auditorium. The theme for 2007 is “Celebration.” Participants this year are Mary Skele Anderson, Ashlee Lyne Blaisdell, Kiersten Chaylce Cordingly, Toralyn (Tori) Hill, Dani Lynn Howard, Erin Elizabeth Jenkins, Erin Rachael Morley, Christina Marie Peterson and Daniele Jordan Williams. Logan James Pfieffer has been called to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in
the Milan, Italy mission. Logan enters the MTC on April 18. He is the son of Lee and Jackie Pfeiffer. Congressman Mike Simpson, Idaho’s Representative to the House of Representatives, brought a surprise to the teachers and students at Malad Elementary when he delivered a flag for each classroom at the school. 25 YEARS AGO (1997) Malad’s new board of directors for the Malad Chamber of Commerce was introduced at the annual Chamber Banquet. Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise are Leroy Rose, president; Tammie Neal, vice president; Neil Martin, secretary/treasurer. Board members: Lisa Willie, Layne Hoskins, Bruce Jensen and Lisa Price. Not pictured are Debbie Scouten, Barbara Thompson and Larry Thomas. Stacey Robbins has been selected as the ambassador to represent Malad High School at this year’s Hugh O’Brien Youth (HOBY) Leadership Seminar. The seminar will be held at Boise State University May 29 through June 1. Members of the Malad Third Ward sustained a new Bishopric on Sunday. Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise is David Corbridge, Bishop; Larry Thomas, first counselor; and Don Hubbard, second counselor; Eldon Corbridge as ward financial clerk; Dennis Evans as executive secretary; and Larry Oja as ward clerk. Malad’s 1996 Junior Miss, Cindy Rindlisbacher, will turn over her crown to another on April 26. This year’s program, entitled “The Fabulous Fifties,” will feature thirteen participants. The Malad Area Chamber of Commerce has something new on the community horizon. A Welcome Wagon program began with visits to six new Oneida County households. Jean Erskin, Jean Showell and Iris Blaisdell comprise the Welcoming Committee. 35 YEARS AGO (1987) Soil Conservation officials are not painting a very rosy picture for the water supply outlook, especially if dry weather conditions continue into next year. According to the Idaho Water Sup-
ply Outlook Report for April issued by the SCS Office, much of Idaho’s snowpack, is the second lowest on record for this time of year. As a result, southern Idaho stream flows are expected to be near or just above the lowest on record. Malad Elementary School teacher Diane Mikesell has been appointed by the Idaho Teachers Association to represent Region 5 on the Instructional and Professional Development Committee. Karen Jones, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Jones has been named third place winner in the Z.C.M.I. Table Setting Contest in Pocatello. She was awarded a $100 set of Magnalite Cookware for her prize. Junior Miss contestants for 1987 were given their Hostesses last Monday evening at the Hostess Tea. Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise are Karen VanderMeer and Letti Rodriquez; Lisa Lewis and Dianna Marble; Lori Jones and Cami Nicholas; Lisa Baker and Roxanne Larsen; Elizabeth Williams and Michelle Bastian; Norma Braegger and Krishele Willie; Kathy Williams and Lara Hill; Christy Eliason and Fawn King; Vicky Kent and Gia Thorpe; and Charlene Saunders and Tiffany Olsen. 45 YEARS AGO (1977) Nearly 50 Oneida farmers attended a drought information meeting at the Courthouse, receiving tips from University of Idaho extension specialists on how to plant and irrigate crops in a water-shortage year. In a brief meeting, the Oneida School Board reported that 42 applicants for the position of Oneida Superintendent have been received, and that trustees have processed about half of these. Chairman Donald Vaughan noted that the Board still intends to sift through candidates, narrowing the selection down to two or three prospects. Breathing a sigh of relief, the Oneida County Free Library staff opened the new facility at Malad City Park following several weeks of carting boxes of books,
magazines, shelves, tables and files. “We’re all moved out from the Courthouse and just about straightened up at our new building,” reports Helen Price, head librarian. Library staff includes Mrs. Price, Edna Palmer, Ruth Evans, Kathryn Mills, Flossie Hamilton and custodian William M. Jones. Mark Showell, a 21-year-old from Stone, has spent a long time in a nursing home after he was disabled from a brain tumor at the age of 16. Mark became one of the few people in a wheelchair to ever live in a dormitory at Idaho State University when he became a fulltime resident of Graveley Hall this semester. “Mark is a pioneer,” says Dr. Clyde Elliott of the Human Development center in Pocatello. “What he’s done takes a lot of courage. He knew he didn’t belong in a nursing home. Hopefully his presence at ISU will encourage others like himself to stop their lives from being uneventful and unproductive.” Mark says, “I felt I was ready for college”. “But I was worried. Would it be ready for me? Would I be accepted?” Mark is working all the time. Besides his classes at ISU he attends the campus Stake LDS functions. He practices walking and exercising so he can get back the use of his legs and hands. “The main thing is confidence,” he says. “When I’ve got that, when I’m feeling good, then I do well. I think I can get back what I’ve lost. At any rate I’m willing to try.” 55 YEARS AGO (1967) Pictured in The Enterprise are the three Malad
girls who received Future Homemakers of America State Degrees and the four who were awarded chapter degrees at a Fifth District FHA Degrees banquet at American Falls. State degrees were given to Lorene Jensen, Vicki Grover and Patti Smith. Earning chapter degrees were Elsie Hubbard, Mary Ann Call, Ilene Hill and Lynette Miller. Gordon Lewis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theras Lewis, who is majoring in electrical engineering at Brigham Young University, was one of the seniors named to receive the James E. Talmage award. They went “thataway” … the three young Oneida rodeo stars, that is. And “thataway” in this case is by way of making records in intercollegiate rodeo. The two girls, Kristie Champneys and Suzanne Harrison and Kent Smith are all freshman college students – Kristie at Idaho State University, Pocatello; and, Suzanne and Kent at Ricks College, Rexburg. Setting a school record for relief pitchers, Dennis Evans struck out 10 batters in a five-inning stint for the Ricks College baseball team as they defeated Western Montana.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SCHOOL MENU
Editorial Policy Statement re: Letters to the Editor The Enterprise is committed to free speech and the free expression of voters during this primary season. We also have finite space for presenting that expression, however, and have arrived at the following policies: Following the policy formerly in place during election seasons, the Enterprise will publish Letters to the Editor for the edition weeks of April 24, April 28, and May 5. The week immediately preceding the pri-
mary (May 12), will be closed to political LTEs in the interests of A) not overwhelming the other news content, and B) allowing for a calmer pre-election atmosphere. To that end, LTEs for the April 28 edition must be submitted by April 22; LTEs for the May 5 edition must be submitted by April 29. In order to accommodate as many voices as possible, please keep letters to within 200 words. Letters which exceed that length may
be edited for length. If a large number of letters are received which express similar thoughts on the same candidate, they may be combined into a single story summarizing the contents and listing the authors. In order to promote civility, please keep messages positive and supportive of candidates. Letters must be signed.
Dear Editor, I’m writing in regard to my friend, Andee Parry, candidate for Oneida County Commissioner. I have serious concerns about business as usual politicians— they call themselves “Common Sense Conservatives”. Our government—City, county, state and federal—are already over bloated and they are continuing to encroach on our individual and community
rights. We need a representative who actually represents the citizens of Oneida County! Andee is the woman for that. She is a farmer/ rancher, 50+ year resident of Oneida County, is a grass roots woman, a constitutionalist and feels that if a subject was not explicitly documented in the constitution, it should not be hindered by law—federal, state or local. She has a local mindset and will be very
frugal with the property of the citizens. She has worked with the Oneida County Republican Party Central Committee for years. She is a woman of faith, kind, compassionate and caring. She is a team player and is intensely interested in the voice of the people. Please join me in voting for Andee Parry! Drew Pettis Malad, Idaho
In Support of Andee Parry
Good luck to all the cadidates!

Grandpa Tom was the water master for the Portneuf-Marsh Valley Canal Company back in the day. He rode the ditch bank in his trusty pick-up and worked hard to keep peace among neighbors who got along just fine, as long as water wasn’t involved. Spring has finally arrived in the valley, and the reservoirs are not full, clouds are scarce, and it seems water is going to be a major concern again this summer. So, do we plant the garden? We love the fresh and canned food. There is nothing like bottled beans, fresh raspberries, peas, and lettuce, along with the salsa made from the onions, peppers and tomatoes, which are all
FCCLA State competition
grown in the backyard. So, yes, we will plant a garden. We will plant, along with our neighbors, and the valley’s farmers and be responsible about water consumption. Kate Edwards was a neighbor when I was a kid, and she was responsible about the use of water. Kate loved flowers, but one year the water situation was so dire that townsfolk were advised to abandon the flower gardens. That was not an option for Kate. She planted her flowers and watered them with her dish water. She didn’t make a big deal out of it. She just quietly took that dish water out each evening, poured it on her flowers and had a little chat with them. Kate’s flowers were beautiful. Life
was good for Kate and her neighbors. Those blooms added much needed color during a dry summer. It's going to be another dry year, so conserving those drops is going to be important. Maybe our motto needs to be “Let’s go, Kate!” (I know the Brandon meaning. This is Kate.) We can be specific and honest about watering times. “Let’s go, Kate!” Keep the concrete and roads dry. They aren’t going to grow, no matter how much we water them. “Let’s go, Kate!” Pour a little dish water on your flowerpots. “Let’s go, Kate!” Shorten up those showers. We can do this…for Grandpa Tom and Neighbor Kate and for the Good Life!

CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4/13 The City Council met on April 13 for Public Hearings and a number of action items. Over the course of more than four hours, the council met to deal with a number of pressing issues. Public Hearings The first public hearing involved the final PLAT approval for Phase 2 of the Cedar Ridge apartments PUD. The project’s PLAT had been recommended for approval by the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission during its last meeting. The apartments, at 60 Cedar Lane, are beginning the second phase of construction on an additional 16 townhomes in four buildings. Of concern has been the shared open space outlined in the development code, which the council felt had been adequately addressed. The final PLAT passed unanimously. The second hearing (see full story in this week’s paper) involved a request by Hess Lumber for a special use permit which would allow a recently purchased property to serve as an additional parking and storage area for the business. After hearing lengthy public input and the responses from representatives of Hess Lumber itself, the council ultimately decided not to grant the permit. The vote to reject the permit was not unanimous, with one member of the four voting against. Hess Lumber will be relocating its pallet operation south of town, and suggested that it would be considering selling the property in question. Soil Conservation District After the public hearings, the council heard a request from the Conservation District to support its outreach efforts for
the next year to the tune of $1500. The funds are generally distributed by the city to help with outreach and educational actions. This generally takes the form of arranging for speakers at the local schools and other venues. A motion to approve the request passed. Transportation Plan Update Communities are required to have an updated transportation plan on record with the state. Although there are not a lot of traffic issues at play in Malad city, a grant has become available to pursue a revision to the required transportation plan, which the city determined to pursue. Impact Zone Discussion The Impact Zone, which was recently brought into focus with a proposed subdivision Brad Hess planned to build off Highway 38, was jointly discussed by the council and County Commissioners Bob Christophersen and Bill Lewis. The Impact Zone is the area outside the city limits into which the city projects its growth will eventually lead to the annexation or establishment of future holdings. Any building inside the Zone requires the joint cooperation of both entities, and is subject to the development plans of both. During the discussion over the Hess development, the exact boundaries of the Impact Zone, which were somewhat ambiguous in terms of their legal borders, became a difficult zoning problem. A new map of the Zone, with specific legal descriptions, was presented to the joint commission and council members for examination. It was determined that correcting problems
with the existing map was the first order of business, and then clarifying a new and more accurate map. Jaime Olsen is in the process of creating the relevant legal descriptions and redrawing the map, which will be reviewed by the county and city once it is completed and then put into place. Field of Dreams The PLAT approval for the Field of Dreams subdivision, Phase 2, was discussed. One of the issues raised was related to an observation recently made by the County Road and Bridge department about a number of barrow pits which have been filled in, and may constitute a problem with storm water drainage at the rear of the subdivision. The council decided to approve the PLAT with the provision that a letter clarifying awareness of the storm water issue was filed. Bids on City Property 32.6 acres of city property had recently been put up for bid. The stated reason for putting the land up for auction was to put it into productive use during a time when the real estate market was especially strong for land sales, rather than leave it unused. The land, off of Highway 38, received two bids. Diamond Ridge submitted a bid of $555,030 and offered to split the closing costs with the city. LVD Investments submitted a bid of $501,100 and the full closing costs. The council discussed the pros and cons of the two bids, but ultimately decided that without any other compelling difference, it was their duty to taxpayers to take the highest bid. A motion to accept the bid from Diamond Ridge was passed unanimously. All future projects that the develop-
er has with regard to the use of the property will need to go through the standard Planning and Zoning process. The developers mentioned that they plan to develop a range of residential and commercial elements on the property. Co-op Building Plans The ongoing Co-op building improvements were discussed (see story in this edition). A design for the reconstruction of the space into offices, city council hearing space, and leasable commercial space has been developed by an architectural firm. The council agreed to move forward with the broad outline of the building plans, and will begin the process of looking for grants to help move the process forward. The immediate issue with regard to the building is the restoration of the exterior. The full remodeling process for the painted brick has been estimated at $150,000$175,000. Before any of that process can begin, a test on the bricks themselves needs to be conducted to determine what kind of stripping and painting process will be the most successful. The council approved a motion to conduct a paint test for $2,500 to begin the testing. Arbor Day The city has procured a number of trees to be planted for the upcoming Arbor Day. In addition to replanting a number of trees in the city park, the council has decided to hold the event at the cemetery on May 3 at 6:00 p.m. Local high school students will be involved in the planting of several trees in the location to begin the process. The city has also donated two trees (which came as part of a beautification bequest) to the
county to be planted at the courthouse. July Fourth Planning Meeting The city council scheduled a meeting for April 27 in order to strategize and plan for events surrounding the Fourth of July festivities. The meeting will involve input from a number of those involved. The meeting will also be used to lay out the city’s goals for the upcoming year and discuss a number of suggestions about the use of city facilities over the summer. Industrial Park Rent and Terms After some research over the last month into the Industrial Park Rent and Fees applied by other communities along the I-15, it was determined that there are no clear analogs, as Tremonton, American Falls, and Blackfoot did not have zoned industrial parks. The range of fees in other cities proved to be potentially overly high to attract businesses to the area. After a discussion about a number of possibilities for pricing, a rate of $100/ acre per month for the first acre, and $75/acre per month for each additional acre was arrived at. While there are no lesees on the property at present, this rate will allow the city to provide specific terms to those interested in the future. A motion to approve the rates was passed. Sewer Rates A resolution to establish the sewer rate for the city at $47/EBU (Equivalent Billing Unit) and the water rate at $36.50/ EBU was passed. Proclamation FH A Fair Housing Month Proclamation was passed. This is an annual resolution passed by municipalities that asserts that the city does not practice or allow
housing discrimination based on the standard set of non-discrimination factors. Business License A new business will be coming to town this spring! A business license was granted to the Frozen Cow mobile ice cream trailer. The mobile food truck will be officially located at 137 E. 50 South. Planning and Zoning Due to the resignation of one of its members, Planning and Zoning will be looking to swear in a new member at its next meeting. Following up on last month’s PZ meeting, the council discussed the potential language for the city ordinances surrounding twin homes. As has been noted, there is currently no language in the city code about these particular types of homes, but there are a number of construction permits in the works that are seeking to pursue them. Some changes to the language presented by PZ were made, and the revised elements (primarily related to lot size requirements) will be taken back to the commission for further examination. City Superintendent Bids have been received for paving the circular path around the cemetery. A full paving job, as well as a small parking lot, was listed at $220,995 which the city is taking under advisement. An upcoming project to chip seal Samaria Lane was also discussed. A bid for fertilizing and pest control on the grounds of the park and the cemetery was approved. The Treasurer reported that the new City Shop has been fully paid off.
City Council Votes “No” on Hess Lumber Special Use Permit after Public Hearing
On April 13, the City Council held a Public hearing on a special use permit requested by Hess Lumber. The permit would have allowed for the property purchased by Hess Lumber on 162 N 100 W to serve as an employee parking lot, storage area for surplus material, and occasional delivery truck route. The permit was recently discussed by the City Planning and Zoning Commission, and recommended for approval by a 3-1 vote, with a dissenting vote based on community opposition. The City Council denied the permit on a similar 3-1 vote. Between the PZ public hearing and the City Council hearing, two major factors arosethat affected the situation. Of the two, the most significant factor was the closing on the property Hess Lumber has purchased south of town. This property has been announced as the relocation site for the Hess lumber pallet operation, which is at the C Y
M K
heart of the issues related to the special use permit. Doug and Eric Crowther, who were on hand for the meeting, both reiterated that the move of the pallet operation should be possible within the next 4-6 months, as soon as some basic site work is completed on the south of town property. The second factor, which occupied a large portion of the hearing, was the expanded public input on the potential drawbacks to granting the permit. On hand to voice opposition to the move were a number of citizens with residences within 300 feet of the permit site. Kim Jenkins, who was on hand at the PZ stage of the hearing to present his opposition, provided a written statement to the council, in which he stated “I didn’t want to attend in person, because I didn’t want to lose my temper…but they [Hess Lumber] are already doing everything they have listed in their request.” Jenkins asked that the council
commit to imposing fines on any actions that violate the current agreement. Annette Elcock expressed concerns similar to those she presented to the PZ Commission; namely, that the access to the parking area for additional vehicles might present an increased danger for pedestrians, especially children going to and from the pool during the summer months. A number of other citizens also raised concerns about potential increased traffic, as well as the fact that the council had in the past suggested that it would be reticent to approve variances for the Hess Lumber operations after approving the last expansion. Council members conducted a thoughtful hearing, in which the concerns of the residents and the commercial interests of the store were weighed against one another, and the existing ordinance which the variance would be granted against. After
Hess Lumber plans to move its pallet operation to 18 acres south of town in the coming months
public input and internal discussion, the council determined that the variance was too great a deviation from the relevant ordinance, and the public interest concerns constituted a decisive counterpoint. The decision was also in some part made easier as a result of Hess Lumber’s statement that if it were not granted they would probably begin seeking to sell the property in
anticipation of the move south of town. The final vote on the
special use permit was 3-1 against.

The Idaho Enterprise
Managing Trichomoniasis By Allison Eliason The Utah State Veterinary office disclosed an outbreak of trichomoniasis (trich) in several cattle herds of Box Elder County in the first week of April. As the state has been investigating the outbreak, they have traced it to a grazing association of southern Idaho. In the time since the original findings, ten herds have tested positive for trich, five herds in the association and five others with neighboring fences to the association group. With many Oneida County ranches in close proximity to these infected herds, it is understandable that local farmers and ranchers would have concerns for their own cattle. To get a better idea of the current trich situation and what cattle operations can do to keep trich at bay, I contacted Dr. Philip Firth, a native of Malad and veterinarian with the Bear River Animal Hospital. The vet clinic is currently working with the State Veterinarian Office to test and identify the spread of the outbreak in Box Elder County. Dr. Firth provided great insight to the disease, what steps are being taken to contain the current infection and what cattle producers can do to keep trich from entering their own herds. Trich is considered a venereal disease that will cause spontaneous abortion in cattle in
the first four months of gestation. It is a microscopic protozoa parasite that thrives in oxygen depleted environments, such as the reproductive organs of both bulls and cows. Trich is spread during breeding, a single bull infecting the many cows he will cover in a season. As cows become infected, they too can spread the disease as a number of different bulls will attempt to breed one cow. Once a bull is infected, it will never be rid of the disease as the infection will continuously multiply in the favorable environment. After infected cows have sloughed their calves, they can rid their reproductive tract of the infection and become healthy again. Unfortunately, there are no outward symptoms of trich in either bulls or cows. The first indications of a diseased herd are commonly found during preg testing when numerous cows are found unbred (open) or with short gestations. Trich is only positively identified with a certified test administered by a licensed veterinarian. Dr. Philip Firth considers trich to be “the most economically devastating disease that can infect a cattle herd.” As it causes abortions and smaller calves, ranchers see significant losses in calf sales. They will also see financial losses as they cull and replace herd bulls that
are currently averaging upwards of $5,000. The demands of quarantining a herd until the disease is cleared can also place financial hardship on those farmers and ranchers. Trich can also cause infertility in previously infected cows, causing them to be extremely costly. Dr. Firth said, “Obviously, the best way to manage trich in cattle is to prevent it from ever entering the herd. As breeding season will soon begin for many farmers and ranches, a proactive plan for healthy breeding can help reduce the chances of trich being introduced into their herds. The first management practice is to ensure that only bulls with a negative trich test are introduced to the cow herd. Many states, including Idaho and Utah, require annual trich testing for all residential non-virgin bulls and any bulls older than twenty four months. Any non-virgin bulls or bulls over the age of eighteen months brought into Idaho must also be tested. Idaho’s trich program has been mandated for more than thirty years as a means to closely monitor the disease and reduce the spread. As reported by Idaho’s state veterinarian, Dr. Scott Leibsle, of the 29,000 trich tests conducted in 2021, only one positive case was found. All cattle sold or trans-
April 21, 2022
ported across state lines require a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) which includes information concerning trich, specifically that bulls have been recently tested and have not been diagnosed with trich or have had no potential breeding contact and are virgin bulls. The second management practice ranchers should employ to reduce the spread of trich is to have a defined breeding season. In areas where seasonal weather makes it possible for cattle to stay on the range continuously, bulls are often left with the cow herd year round. This leads to increased spread of the disease which cascades to more infected cows, a greater number of aborted calves and a longer calving window with a smaller number of live calves. With a designated breeding season, the presence and spread of trich is reduced and more quickly identified. A final management practice to decrease the potential infection of trich is to annually preg test and cull open cows. Not only are unbred cows not economically productive, they often carry diseases that cause infertility. As previously stated, trich is often indicated and found in cows that test open or with relatively short gestations for their breeding season. A high percentage of cows with such findings would strongly
suggest a trich infection in the herd. Immediate trich testing of bulls covering a possibly diseased herd would provide prompt detection to more quickly manage the spread and potential losses. When trich is positively identified, a number of actions are immediately taken. The State Veterinary Office must be notified of positive findings and they will in turn begin investigating the potential spread. They will identify all animals infected and herds potentially exposed to the disease to contain the infection. Operations that find trich in any of their cattle must also notify any fence line neighbors within ten days of a positive test. All bulls with a positive trich test must be culled and sent directly to slaughter or to a certified feedlot. Cows that have been exposed to positively tested bulls must also be tested and quarantined until there are no longer any infected cows. Such quarantines may be only a few months or could take years to clear. Legal repercussions may be enforced for any farmers or ranchers with positively tested bulls that have been negligent in following state regulations. In the current case of trich identified in Box Elder County, all positively tested herds have been quarantined and are being tested to be cleared before they can
be moved to their spring and summer grazing ranges. The State Veterinary Office is aggressively investigating the outbreak to learn where the infection began and to be sure that all infected cattle have been accounted for. Oneida County farmers and ranchers may be concerned what all of this information will mean for their operations in the upcoming months and years. While many local herds run in Box Elder County and across southern Idaho, there are no bulls testing positive for trich in Oneida County. In discussing this situation Dr. Firth shared, “It can sometimes take a few years to clear out trich. But if everyone uses good herd management steps and the state is able to identify where the exposure began and all infected cattle, this will hopefully be gone this year. The state of Utah and the State Veterinarian Office are doing a good job, being very proactive and aggressive as they investigate this case of trich.” Trich can be an intimidating disease, especially for farmers and ranchers that run their cattle with other operations. These proactive management steps can give any operation the confidence that while there is an outbreak nearby, their herds have been given the best chance for avoiding infection.

The MHS JV and Varisty Softball teams, pictured with Scott Ray
It was another big week of games for the Malad Lady Dragon Softball team as they hosted the Malad Scott Ray Softball Tournament alongside their weekday game against Snake River. The busy week of games did nothing to slow their roll, but only improved their winning streak to 13-0! Wednesday, April 13, the Lady Dragons took control of the game against the Snake River Panthers early on, scoring six of their eleven runs in the second inning. Hallie Horsley and Bostyn Combs stole bases to make it around the diamond and give the Dragons their first two runs. With players on 1st and 3rd, freshman Brylee Oglesbee stepped up to the plate to hit a double, batting in Beth McClain and Riglee Petersen. Madi Green, next up to bat, then came in to hit a triple, batting Oglesbee in. On a wild pitch, Green stole home to tally up the innings runs to six. At the conclusion of the final inning, the Dragons won, 11-2.
Riglee Petersen again took the mound for the team, only giving up two runs on five hits over seven innings. Petersen struck out nine of her twenty seven opponents at the plate with zero walks. The team had a successful weekend as they hosted and ran their annual softball tournament in honor of Scott Ray. Coach Ray was instrumental in starting the traveling softball team for players age fourteen and under. In 1997, Coach Ray stepped up as the high school softball coach, earning 12 consecutive district titles and taking his team to the State Championship game multiple years. In their game against Declo, the Lady Dragons were quick to score in the first inning, Madi Green sacrificing a pop fly to bat in Riglee Petersen. Hallie Horsley followed with a double to center field. Graycee Goddard followed with a hard ground ball to right field, giving Horsley the chance to bring home another run. Riglee Petersen had a big
game hitting, with a triple in the second inning to bat in Maggie Willie as well as a home run in the 5th inning with Kaitlyn Picket already on base. The team won, 10-1. Malad opened the game against North Fremont with four runs in the first inning by Riley Petersen, Brylee Oglesbee, Hallie Horsley and Maggie Willie. Brylee Oglesbee and Graycee Goddard led the team with hits,, each with three. Madi Green hit a homer to left field in the 5th inning to score Malad’s final run of the game to bring the score, Malad 13, North Fremont 1. West Jefferson was the MHS Softball team’s third matchup of the tournament, and their toughest game of the weekend. Malad pulled out their first run of the game in the second inning when Adley Kimberling advanced to home on a ground out at first base. Madi Green scored again in the next inning after hitting a double to be batted in on the next hit by Hallie Horsley. The Lady

Each player added runs to the score, with Riley Petersen, Brylee Oglesbee, Madi Green and Hallie Horsley each having three runs. Coach Christie Schow spoke of the tournament, proud of the girls for not only playing
several great games of softball but also of how well they helped run the tournament. She share, “Not only were the Varsity and JV undefeated in the tournament, all the girls helped prep the fields in between games and emptied garbages around the fields. It was a great tournament because those girls are so great!”
Brothers of Steel Idawy State Tournament State Tournament Idaho held their USA Wrestling State Tournament on Saturday, March 26th. Seven wrestlers from Malad represented the Brothers of Steel and fought to earn the title of State Champion. At the conclusion of the tournament, Malad proudly recognized 3 State champions for 2022 year- Kyler Blaisdell, Rustin Montgomery and Austin Nalder. Bentley Maddox took 2nd place in the 3rd grade bracket as well as 5th place in the 5th grade bracket. Oakley Maddox earned the silver medal in the High School bracket and 6th place in the Middle school bracket. Zach Mills took 3rd in High School and Trevor Mills took 4th in the High school bracket. The Brother’s of Steel coaches said, “The boys had a great time and wrestled really well!” Folkstyle National Tournament Over the spring break, 3 of Malad’s Brothers of Steel wrestlers, Zach Mills, Drake Morrison and Austin Nalder and C Y
M K
their coach, Devin Morrison, traveled to Cedar Falls, Iowa to compete in the Folkstyle National Tournament. All 3 of the Malad wrestlers medaled, earning All-American status. The state of Idaho had 72 wrestlers make the trip to Iowa and to compete in the various brackets. As a team, the Idaho wrestlers won the tournament with 734.5 points. On that Friday and Saturday the high school divisions wrestled. Austin Nalder competed in the High School open 152lb bracket and placed 7th. Zach Mills placed 8th in the High School open 126lbs. That Saturday and Sunday the 14u wrestlers had their turn. Sunday Drake Morrison wrestled his finals match on the main stage and won the gold medal making him the 14u 125lb National Champion. Drake is the first Folkstyle National champion from Malad. When asked about the tournament, Coach Morrison shared, “It is an exciting experience for
these kids to compete at the highest level in their sport. For all of them to place and become All-Americans is a huge accomplishment and we are incredibly proud.” Tour of Idaho Tournament Three other Malad wrestlers competed in Burley over the same weekend. At the 3rd and final Tour of Idaho tournament, all 3 of the Brothers of Steel wrestlers won and walked away champions. Rustin Montgomery was the 8u HWT champion, Bentley Maddox the 9u 81lb champion and Oakley Maddox the 12u 112lb champion. Oakley Maddox won all 3 Tour of Idaho tournaments this year, earning himself a Tour Champion jacket. Reno World Championship In the final two weekends of the Idaway wrestling season, the Brother of Steel wrestlers have participated in some exciting and intense tournaments. April 7-10, four Brothers of Steel wrestlers attended the Reno World Championship wrestling
tournament in Reno, Nevada. The Reno Worlds tournament is an incredibly tough and aggressive national tournament with huge brackets and stacked competition. At the conclusion of the tournament, two Malad wrestlers came home with the coveted eagle trophy. Bentley Maddox and Rustin Montgomery both competed in the 8u bracket and both won 3rd place medals and trophies. Also attending the tournament was Drake Morison and Oakley Maddox. The coaches shared, “The boys all wrestled really tough and did a great job at such a brutal tournament. They are doing a lot of next level wrestling.” Idawy State Tournament Over Easter weekend, seven Brothers of Steel competed at the Idaway State tournament at the Idaho Center in Nampa.

Idaway season. State Champions were Kyler Blaisdell, Rustin Montgomery, Bentley Maddox, Oakley Maddox and Drake Morrison. Lilly Blaisdell and Zane Komrofske both brought home silver medals. When talking about the weekend’s wrestling, the coaches said, “It is awesome watching the
hard work these kids put in pay off. We practice hard, we put in a lot of hours on the mat and it shows when these kids can show up to a tournament and dominate the way they have. We have a team of great kids, they are friends and teammates and have a great time together.” C Y

BASEBALL The Malad Dragon Baseball team split their games this week, losing to Snake River Wednesday, April 13, and bringing home the win against Soda Springs Friday, April 15. Coach Bo Clark commented that he was really pleased with how the team stepped up after a previous rough week of games. They worked hard to address their mistakes and their efforts paid off. The MHS Dragon team had their work cut out for them as they faced the Snake River Panthers and their senior pitcher. Malad had four hits by Bridger Bastian, Gaiden Combs, Chase Briggs and Vinny Evans, an improvement from their 2021 matchup where they had only one hit against the ace pitcher. Stetson Higley stepped up to the mound to pitch for the Dragons, putting together a solid seven innings. In the top of the fourth, Higley went three for three, striking out Snake Rivers’ batters for the in-
ning. Coach Clark said, “Stetson pitched really well and kept their hitters off balance.” The team's defense did well to back up Higley, flagging down fly balls and moving the ball around, despite some errors. The Dragons finally got some runs on the scoreboard in the final inning against the Panthers. The Snake River pitcher walked Combs to first base. From there, Combs stole second and third base while Stetson Higley was up to bat. Teammate Chase Briggs batted him in as he hit a double to third base. Next to bat, Vinny Evans, also hit a double to bat in Briggs, to bring Malad’s score to two runs. Coach Clark said about the game, “We were able to get a few late runs but came up a little short. All in all it was a good effort in spite of a few errors.” The team hosted Soda Springs in Malad for their Friday matchup. Despite not scoring in the opening innings, Malad clearly dominated the game, scoring

seven big runs in the second inning by Braylin Tripp, Ryan Hubbard, Jaden Ward, Bridger Bastian, Gaiden Combs, Kyler Horsley and Stetson Higley. Pitching for the Malad Dragons was Jaden Ward, allowing
a few errors, but hit the ball much better. Jaden Ward pitched really well. We worked hard in practice leading up to the games and it really showed.” Upcoming games for the Dragon Baseball
