2022's DYW Kristal Ford (left) is on hand to hand the title to Raegan Smith, Malad's Distinguished Young Woman of 2023
Raegan Smith named Distinguished Young Woman of Malad 2023 A packed house filled the Malad Elementary auditorium for the return of the Malad Distinguished Young Women program. Last year’s DYW, Kristal Ford, was on hand for the handover over her title to this year’s winner, Raegan Smith. DYW Chairman Nichole Daniels has worked tirelessly along with a large number of volunteers, sponsors, and the girls' families and hostesses to ensure that the event was a showcase for the talents and dedication of the women involved. Her written introduction to the event program explains “Since the day I started working with them, they have shown their internal strength. They are proactive, responsible, dedicated, talented and kind… Because of their courage, we were
able to have a program this year which has been a time full of fun, learning, and growth. To all seven participants, thank you for sharing your light with me and those around you.” The dedication and talent were on clear display throughout the evening. Aided by the humorous emcee work of Mike and Cecilia Hess, the program moved professionally through the evening, and allowed all of the participants a well-earned place in the spotlight. After a group performance to “Girl Just Wanna Have Fun” choreographed by Kristal Ford, the competition began in earnest. The ultimate awarding of the DYW for 2023 was based on five elements, two of which had already been completed before the program
itself. The first criteria used in judging was “Scholastic,” which involves the participants’ academic record and test scores. The Scholastic portion is judged by a scholar, counselor, or another individual familiar with transcript evaluation. The Scholastics judges were chaired by Megan Price. The finalists for the Scholastic competition were Katie Marble and Alexis Shaw, who were awarded $200 by Hess Pumice, Idaho Real Estate Group, Mike, Lisa and Steve Adkinson, and Scott and Pamela Mills. The winner of the category was Raegan Smith, who was awarded $300 by the Oneida Education Foundation. The
Museum Board meets The governing board of the Oneida Pioneer Museum (the official name is The Oneida County Relic Preservation and Historical Society, Inc.) met on Wednesday night, April 20. The board meets monthly from approximately April through September and then as needed for the rest of the year. In anticipation of the museum opening, which will be held on Saturday, May 28, plans were made for the annual Bake Sale that is held every year in conjunction with the yearly opening. Visitors look forward to the sale and to stop in to see displays and reminisce with board members. JoAnn Peters and Brianne McDougal reported on the fabric preservation project that they have been overseeing since January. Peters, an Adjunct Professor at BYU-Idaho, teaches courses in the apparel design program and is an expert in vintage clothing preservation. McDougal, a
granddaughter of Norman Jaussi, accompanied Peters as an intern. The two women went through a collection of approximately 250 items of clothing, old quilts, furs and other fabrics. They evaluated the collection to determine the condition of all fabrics; determined if the item was vintage and important to the history of Oneida County; provided preservation and conservation materials so that items could be safely stored, accessed and rotated for exhibit purposes; repaired, if possible, items that had tears or other damage; advised the museum board about items that were in such poor condition that they could not be repaired or exhibited; and provided a catalog of pictures and description of all items in the collection, including pictures for the storage boxes and bags so that items can be easily identified. Through this project, all items have been cataloged

By reaching the age of 97 years, seven months, and six days, President Russell M. Nelson is now officially the oldest serving president of the church, surpassing the 97 years, seven months and five days reached by Gordon B. Hinkley, who died in 2008. Nelson is the 17th president in the history of the church. He is the second president since Joseph Fielding Smith to be called to the position in his 90s.
Elon Musk Purchases Twitter
In a move which has received criticism and praise from different quarters, billionaire Elon Musk has arranged a deal to purchase the social media network Twitter for $44 Billion dollars. Musk claims his goal is to make Twitter a “bastion of free speech.” Those opposed to the move are worried that such a high-profile owner has the capacity to exert more, rather than less, influence on the site’s content and management.

A prominent medical task force working in conjunction with the Mayo clinic has revised recommendations about daily aspirin for adults over 60 to prevent heart attack and stroke. The task force determined that the risks posed by internal bleeding outweigh the preventative effects of daily aspirin. Adults who have had heart attacks are advised to continue taking daily aspirin.

Stone Elementary Celebrates Earth Day
The Stone Elementary students took an extra school to learn and play and celebrate Earth Day! On that rainy afternoon they focused on what good things we can all do to take of the Earth and everything that lives here. To culminate the day, they made simple bird feeders out of toilet paper rolls covered in peanut butter and topped with bird seed. The students were excited to the improvements made take their feeders home to the museum building and watch what birds and to preserve the col- will enjoy their tasty treats! lections. Plan to attend the annual bake sale and see the displays. The board invites everyone to stop by the museum at least once this year to revisit the Malad City and Idaho Reg# RCE-25697 Oneida County of the past! The museum will be open from Saturday, May 28, through Monday, September 5. It is open Tuesday through Saturday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Museum Board meets Continued from front page
Thomas, reported to the board members that a determination will be made if the museum computer has enough storage to handle an updated PastPerfect software update. If so, the data and photographs can be transferred to the museum’s computer. As part of their project, Peters and McDougal also staged several areas of the museum to exhibit some of the clothing they found. Peters told the board, “You have a great collection.” One of the oldest items in the collection is a bonnet that is believed to date back to the 1820s and belonged to Jedd Jones’s mother, Rachel. Two capes are also determined to be very old. One cape had a notation that it was worn to the dedication of the Salt Lake City Tabernacle, which was in 1867. Of special interest is the Kodiak bear skin that was donated by Ralph Hadfield, who shot the bear in Alaska. After hanging for many years in the museum, it is very dusty. A lo-
cal taxidermist will be asked to help determine if the skin can be safely cleaned and preserved without damaging the fur. Also, on the agenda for the Oneida Pioneer Museum was the annual “Friends of the Museum” campaign, which will kick off in two weeks. Watch for the invitation to become a museum “Friend” with a donation. The donations, along with funding from Oneida County and Malad City and grant funding, pay for

The Origin of the Malad Renaissance Faire
How the Malad Valley Renaissance Faire and Baby Animal Faire at Heritage Square came to be. It is amazing what a group of teenagers with a purpose can accomplish. This is especially true when it comes to our first ever Renaissance Faire here in Malad, Idaho. The kids in a “Shakespeare and his Times” class decided it would be amazing to have a Renaissance Faire in the spring to celebrate everything they learned this year! They have been working on this project for months, planning, delegating, and executing all the tasks they could think of to make this Faire a reality.

The Idaho Enterprise
In this process the students asked Luke Walron of Heritage Square if he would be interested in hosting the event. He stated he was already planning a Baby Animal Festival and thought it would be a great idea to combine the two events. He has been instrumental in helping to mentor the class in this effort. So, what are these kids doing? All of them have been working hard on various projects to get ready; they have helped create and distribute fliers, write newspaper articles, create photo ops for the event, come up with digital fliers for the Facebook page, find vendors and entertainers who might be willing to come,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
In Support of Bob Christophersen and Ken Eliason
Dear Editor,
We live in such a great community! I am impressed with the calibar of people running for county commissioner. However, I feel that I need to express my support for our two current commissioners, Bob Christophersen and Ken Eliason. I have attended a lot of County Commissioner meetings. I have found in our county commissioners men who are aware of the needs of the county and yet who are trying to maintain conservative policies. I have been particularly grateful for our current commissioners working with the city. We are such a small city and county that it is prudent for us to combine our needs. We have accomplished this with our law enforcement, the senior center and with the city/county building inspections. We meet regularly for
our Malad City/Oneida County Economic Development Foundation; and we have worked hard the past two years setting goals for the city and county to make our community more attractive to its residents and to new business. I have known Bob Christophersen my entire life. He and I graduated from high school together, and I won’t say what year! Bob has been involved in this community for many years. He volunteered on the Chamber of Commerce and is a past member of the Malad City Council. He knows and understands small communities and their governments. He’s not afraid to work, and he’s not afraid to make hard decisions. I have always known him to be fair in his decisions. Many may not realize the number of meetings required of a commissioner. They do not just
attend the bi-monthly county commissioner meetings, which last anywhere from four hours to eight hours, but each commissioner has several areas of responsibility, and with those there are meetings to attend. In addition, they have meetings with our neighboring counties that they attend regularly. I know that Bob is very cognizant of the importance of these meetings and attends them all. Bob is currently chairman of 4-CASI, the four county economic development group, and he recently went through the difficult process of finding a new administrator for that group. I know that he is a hard worker and will always see a job through to the end. Sincerely, Joan Hawkins, Mayor Malad City, Idaho
Working alongside Mr. Jeppsen in Interfaith Council for the past six years, I have seen his leadership, decision-making attributes, kindness, ability to work and understand others. He attends and participates at every meeting and event, listens to those who speak, weighs the facts and opinions and makes decisions that benefit the people and community projects. At the recent Lincoln Days Event, Brian had the opportunity to mingle, “rub shoulders” and campaign with many State and Regional can-
didates and incumbents as a politician would do, but instead supported the kitchen staff by preparing and serving the wonderful meal to the nearly 200 people that attended. There are many more qualities I could list, but if you have concerns about our county like rapid growth, infrastructure, water issues and property taxes, please visit with Brian and get his perspectives. He is the man for the District 3 Seat.
for it - and is committed to helping us keep that property. He has an analyst's mindset - he listens intently to all arguments and assesses the problem with an eye toward its relationship to the rights of all citizens. He is a strong constitutionalist and is passionately averse to institutional dominion. He is also passionate about transparency. He wants to make the administration of county business as open as possible - This is more than publishing the minutes of the county commissioner meetings
- he wants the county community to see how much money the commissioners approve for the paying of fines the county is assessed. Brian is a man of faith, with years of volunteer participation in faith-based activities that benefit the entire county. As stated before, he has an ear toward listening, a heart toward understanding and a will toward the benefit and rights of all. Please join me in voting for Brian Jeppsen! Drew Pettis Malad, Idaho
In Support of Brian Jeppsen Dear Editor, I am writing to share my support for Brian Jeppsen as Oneida County Commissioner. He has many outstanding qualities that have come about from issues and experiences learned in Oneida County for 39 years and from other places outside Oneida County. Forty three years of marriage, three children and 11 grandchildren shows true commitment and devotion to family, as well as being involved in many community, church and organizational projects.
Respectfully submitted by Toni Werk.
In Support of Brian Jeppsen Dear Editor, I'm writing in regard to my friend, Brian Jeppsen - candidate for Oneida County Commissioner. I have known Brian for a number of years and have found him deeply committed to the rights of the individual. He is very concerned about the property rights of those in our community - whether real estate, tangible assets or hardearned income which is our property - because we traded our resources (time, effort and/or risk)
In Support of Bob Christophersen Dear Editor, When we find ourselves embroiled in controversies and all the accompanying disarray we need leadership that is willing and wanting to listen with prudence and sensitivity. A listening that seeks compromise and reconciliation in that deep understanding that a community thrives when we bring accommodations to pathways that cultivate togetherness. Unity born in mutual interests has always been the catalyst that affords us the abilities C Y
M K
to overcome the many difficulties challenging small rural communities. When we strive for harmony, we do see a community’s prosperity displayed in kindness, gentleness and respectfulness. Those of us who have come to know Bob over the many years of his service to others have seen his integrity, empathy, compassion, and devoted commitment to our community’s wellbeing. We are rooted and shaped by where we have been, and when we
look upon our history, we’ll find it has been the peace seekers that foster the calm forging of resilience and fashioning perseverance. And in that richness, we come to understand out Love for this community and our wanting to give back what has so graciously been given us by the peace seekers. We need peace seekers. Bob is a peace seeker. You see it in his humility. Former Commissioner Ralph Hanson
In Support of Jeanie Hakes Dear Editor,
I'm writing in regard to my friend, Jeanie Hakes - candidate for Idaho State Senate - District 27. I'd Like to start by identifying some of the troubling issues facing Idaho citizens, especially Oneida County. 1. Citizen's right to property. We are being taxed in a plethora of ways, most of which are not obvious to us as tax payers - if we knew how much of the price we pay for a gallon of milk was taken up by taxes, we would be appalled. 2. Citizen's right to a voice. I have seen constant viable and justifiable efforts by citizens to be heard, tabled and ignored by "politicians who know better". 3. Citizen’s right to determine the curriculum for our public K-12 schools. We have seen mandat3ed directives that are marginal and controversial at least and dominating at worst being implemented and proposed in our schools.
There are others, but there is neither time nor space to address them all. I would encourage all to consider Jeanie Hakes for State Senator - District 27. And here's why: Jeanie is committed to allow market forces to limit inflation (an invisible tax) and enhance wealth - which will allow property and growth in all sectors of our community - commercial, benevolent and personal. Further, Jeanie is opposed to the sales tax on food - I have seen a lot of arguments about how essential to our state sales tax on food is. Is it possible for there to be a more oppressive tax to be levied upon citizens that to tax their capacity to feed themselves and their families? The idea that an annual rebate for that taxation falls short because people need to eat every day. Think this through. Jeanie is committed to the fights of citizens over lobbyists and special interests. The reason that the sales tax on food
was tables is because of the influence of those who gain. by its retention - Please talk to me about how grocers gain from sales tax on food. Jeanie is committed to fundamental educational efforts - If our children are lacking something it is the capacity to choose their professional destiny because they are told that tradespeople have a limited place in our society. Additionally, they are not taught how to perform functional tasks like money management and critical thinking (critical thinking - something that is not being taught or exercised in our woke schooling environment today). Jeanie is a woman of faith, with years of volunteer participation in faith-based activities that benefit the entire county. She has a commitment toward you and me, the will of a champion and the fight of a bear! Please join me in voting for Jeanie Hakes! Drew Pettis Malad, Idaho
In Support of Bob Christophersen
Dear Editor,
Many years ago, Tall Bill, Big Jack, and Little Arthur handled all law enforcement in Oneida County. When a resident turned 60, he or she received a rocking chair at St. John Old Folks’ Day. The fire siren blew at noon to mark time for lunch. County Commission meetings were once a month and lasted a couple of hours. Things are different now in so many ways. County Commission meetings are twice each month and may last all day and continue the next day. Besides regular meetings, Commissioners meet with their counterparts in other counties, meet with the local Mayor and City Council, meet with regional and State officials, and meet with subcommittees of subcommittees that are
involved in the complex work of State and County government. There are 20 areas of responsibility divided among the three Commissioners. Many require multiple meetings every week. According to Bill Lewis, current Chair of the Oneida County Commission, each Commissioner ends up working 30-50 hours per week, doing research into their areas of responsibility and traveling to and participating in endless meetings-- all for very part-time pay. Bob Christophersen has the time, stamina, expertise, and interest to put in the hours and hours required of a County Commissioner today. He quit his very part-time job because it interfered with his duties as County Commissioner. The job of County Commissioner is no
longer a part-time, once a month social gathering. It is a full-time job for which the Commissioners have to have the passion, sense of responsibility, and time to help the residents of Oneida County resolve their endless lists of problems and complaints, to determine the best use of limited taxpayer dollars, to handle issues of rapid growth and development, and to ensure that the County is in compliance with its own ordinances and with state laws. Please remember to vote on May 17 for a candidate who has the time to serve the residents of Oneida County as a County Commissioner. Vote for Bob Christophersen.
Sincerely, Jean Thomas
Letter to the Editor—Larry Oja Dear Editor,
In the upcoming Primary Election, I wish to express my personal gratitude and thanks to all candidates who have filed petitions to serve “we the people” with their time and talents. I know that that comes with much commitment, unselfish sacrifice, and strong and varied opinions. That being said, I support the following candidates in the May 17, 2022 Primary Election as best representing me and my views and
understanding of the correct governing principles and the cause of freedom. Janice McGeachin for Governor Dorothy Moon for Secretary of State Bryan Smith for US House Disctrict 2 Scott Trotter for US Senate Idaho Priscilla Giddings for Lieutenant Governor Raul Labrador for Attorney General Branden Durst for Superintendent of Public Instruction Jeanie Hakes for Sen-
ate District 27 Douglas Pickett for House of Representatives District 27A Pat Field for House of Representatives District 27B Brian Jeppsen for Oneida County Commissioner Andee Parry for Oneida County Commissioner
Please register and go vote. Respectfully, Larry Oja
In Support of Bob Christophersen Dear Editor,
I support Bob Christophersen for Oneida county commissioner. A few of the reasons for this support include: Bob works 100% of the time for the commissioner’s
office. Bob understands where Oneida county gets a lot of its funding, and with this knowledge with this knowledge will avoid having to raise taxes for Oneida county. Bob has also studied and understands what it
will take to be a good commissioner by understanding essential needs for the citizens of Oneida county.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
In Support of Andee Parry and In Support of Kelly Anthon Dear Editor, ents. Because we have work, pay taxes and proBrian Jeppsen had the opportunity to vide for their families Dear Editor,
In February of last year, a petition traveled around this county with a heading that read: “We the People of Oneida County, Idaho request the Oneida County Commissioners to consider this petition to make Oneida County a Constitutional Rights Sanctuary. The Federal Government is increasingly making laws which restrict and infringe on our God Given Rights set forth in the Constitution of the united states of America. We request that our local elected representatives take a stand for the citizens of this county. The Constitutional Rights Sanctuary through the attached ordinance and resolution.” The ordinance accompanying the petition was modeled after an ordinance passed by another county in another state and was significantly longer. The petition had great response. Hundreds of concerned citizens in Oneida County placed their signatures on it. Harry Sherman, Brian Jeppsen and Larry Oja stood before the Commissioners to present supplications, and the proposed ordinance. Two Commissioner meetings were needed. At the first meeting, the Commissioners were presented with documents to review. The second meeting was primarily to discuss their decision. I attended both Commissioners meetings. The front page article of the March 11, 2021 newspaper summarized the negative reception by our Commissioners. At the 2nd meeting, I witnessed a very defensive attitude portrayed by all 3 commissioners. “We as commissioners took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Idaho, just because we don’t sign this, these papers, this Ordinance and this Resolution, I don’t think it should be construed that we don’t believe in the Constitution at all...” they said. The request to make
Oneida County a Constitutional Rights Sanctuary got dropped like a hot potato. Because our Constitution was intended for a moral people (and immorality is rampant these days), I understand the Commissioners’ concern that legal and regulatory concerns could arise if they ever had to enforce an ordinance guaranteeing constitutional rights. I am not surprised that the ordinance was rejected. However, I am disappointed in our commissioners for their non-commitment to take any action. Concerned citizens came with a plea for protection and left feeling misunderstood, insulted and betrayed. With all that has happened the past hundred years in the government of this country, we all should be concerned. Precautionary actions need to be taken to protect what God has given us. The request before the Commissioners, was an attempt to give a 2nd line of defense in protecting each person’s individual rights. We need assurances that our leaders are acting to protect our liberties. Furthermore, at the same meeting, I witnessed the Peacekeeper group get targeted with opposition. Bob Christopherson went so far as to make accusations of not having accountability to the sheriff or commissioners and of having ulterior motives. I am not affiliated with the Peacekeeper group, but my principles do align with the things they are doing for this community. They are educating, assisting and organizing people. I have lost respect with the current Commissioners for not working with them. Our Constitution literally hangs by just a thread. Every Constitutionally Guaranteed Right is under attack. Elections are being manipulated, so is the news. People are censored and restricted on Social media, lock downs occurred, rent payments have been canceled in parts of
the country and private property is being turned over to government agencies. Temporarily, we were denied opportunity to assemble at church and people were arrested for not covering their face. Even in this state, parental rights have been taken away for stopping treatment for a sick child. These kinds of atrocities should alarm every citizen. What, as citizens, are we willing to do about it? Swearing an oath should be enough, but needs to be accompanied by service and action. Officials who understand the proper role of government, will be driven to act in the interest of the people they serve, who elected them. A request signed by hundreds of concerned Oneida County Residents should have been handled more respectfully. Recording the petition or making an official proclamation are examples of actions that would have satisfied the request and relieved concerns about enforcing an ordinance. I know Bob, Bill and Ken are good men who are doing their best in a very challenging job. I value them as friends and thank them for their service. Public officials take a lot of criticism, and I’ve given plenty in this letter. But, because of the times we live in, past experiences, and the examples in this letter, my faith goes to Andee Parry and Brian Jeppson as being the most qualified candidates. I know they will show empathy, listen, and they will act in the interest of the citizens of Oneida County. I have no doubts that they will fight passionately to keep our unalienable Rights, endowed by God, guaranteed by our Constitution. Win or lose, I commend them for running for the 2 County Commissioner seats. Thank you for giving us a choice on the upcoming ballot! Sincerely, Mary Young
In Support of Andee Parry and Brian Jeppsen Dear Editor, I have put the important responsibility of learning about the people that are representing me in government a side because I was busy, to trusting or too lazy to do the work to learn about them. I would like to ask some questions and share some thoughts. How many of you have actually gone and talked with a candidate and asked them questions about their thoughts on C Y
M K
the constitution, bill of rights, sovereignty and laws that are passed in our county and state? Are you ok with accepting others regurgitation of information and the medias twist on the candidates? What about the loss of your liberties and rights? On a local level all of our candidates are good people and friends, but at this time because of knowledge gained through study and personal experiences I will be voting for An-
dee Parry and Brian Jeppsen. They have done the work needed to educate themselves on the proper role of government, issues in our county and are prepared to stand up for and listen to the citizens of Malad. They have no agenda other than to support the people, their rights, and face issues this county will have as a courageous statesman. Robyn Gamble
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the citizens of Oneida County. It has truly been an honor and a privilege to serve all of you in the Idaho Legislature. It is something we will never forget nor take for granted. As one of us has decided to retire and the other has been moved by redistricting, we wish to sincerely thank you for your support, your friendships and the experiences we have shared with you. The people of Oneida County represent the very best of our great state. We would also like share with you our full endorsement of Senator Kelly Anthon. We have known Senator Anthon since his appointment to the Senate in the summer of 2015. Both of us have been impressed with his leadership qualities and his effectiveness as an Idaho Senator. We have watched him as he served his Legislative District with dignity and concern for his constitu-
serve with him, we know Senator Anthon as a man of his word – a quality he is known for in the Capitol and around the state. Senator Anthon is a 7th generation Idahoan that comes from an agriculture background. He understands water issues and how important water is to our state, our farms, and our ranches. He understands the importance of private property rights, the importance of local government and the importance of small, effective government. Senator Anthon has been instrumental in some of the most recent and critical legislation resulting in the reduction of taxes and regulations affecting both businesses and families. Senator Anthon understands the proper role of government. He drafted and sponsored important legislation during the pandemic dealing with emergency declarations; his efforts placed in Idaho statute an assurance that all Idahoans who
are declared “essential”, thus protecting families during times of declared emergencies. He is a fierce advocate of both the First and Second Amendments to our U.S. Constitution and takes his oath to both the Idaho and U.S. Constitution very seriously. Senator Anthon’s leadership qualities have led him to be elected by his senate peers to serve as the Senate Majority Leader. This position will be a benefit to his constituents as he will have input in several critical and important pieces of legislation. Senator Kelly Anthon is a smart, effective leader and someone who will represent Oneida County very well. He will be a strong advocate for the interests of Oneida County, agriculture, water rights, business, and small, effective government.
Dear Editor,
and when he promises to keep his word or get something accomplished, he has kept it. I am on old fashioned guy, and I have always gone by a handshake. When Bob has always shaken my hand, I know it will get done honestly and the right way. Another great trait that Bob possesses is he is always willing to listen. It doesn't matter what Bob is doing; if someone stops him to talk about a problem, Bob gives them his undivided attention and treats them with the same respects he gives me. Bob has worked hard to make many improvements to our county. For example, Bob had helped purchase new road equipment such as a newer 10-wheeler dump truck that the road department desperately needed. Bob also led the fight in finishing the narrows road project as well completing our new, amazing County Events Center at the fairgrounds. Bob has worked hard and been a part of some amazing improvements for our county.
Bob is for the people of this community. I personally know other commissioners outside our county, and they have told me that they have the upmost respect for Bob. They have also told me when they are working on a regional project which includes our county, Bob takes great pride and works very hard to ensure regional projects are beneficial not just to that particular area, but to our county and citizens as well. Like I said, not only is Bob up for the job, but he is the fight man for the job. bob has a lot of experience, is a proven leader, cares for our community and is just a great guy. I highly recommend Bob Christophersen for re-election as Oneida County Commissioner, and I encourage you all for find out just how qualified and what a great person Bob is. I know you will not be mistaken. Vote Bob!
In Support of Bob Christophersen I am writing a letter of support for Bob Christophersen for re-election as Oneida County Commissioner. Not only is Bob up for the job, but he is the right man for the job. I have known bob for several years, and one thing that has always struck me is how much he loves Oneida County. Bob has such tremendous respect for our community, and that is why he has served in numerous roles. For example, Bob has served several terms on the Malad City Council and served as Vice President of the Deep Creek Irrigation Co. for over 30 years. bob has also served as a store manager for over 40 years, and he currently holds a position as an Oneida County Commissioner. As you can see, Bob is a man of service who has great leadership in which this county needs. Someone we need as a commissioner. To me, the greatest trait about Bob is he is honest. He has always told me the truth,
Senator Mark Harris Representative Marc Gibbs
Josh Blaisdell
In Support of Brian Jeppsen Dear Editor, Brian Jeppsen promises to serve District 3 as a trustworthy County Commissioner. He adheres to the Constitutions of the United States of America and the state of Idaho, is fiscally conservative, and listens to understand. He supports transparent accountability and promotes strength in unity. A long-time resident of Malad, Brian raised
his family here. He is an extremely valuable employee and takes an active role in the community, including participating in the Interfaith Council and the Oneida County Support Group. Rumblings around town portray our patriotic group as a “militia.” This is blatantly untrue. The group is unofficially known as the “peacekeepers” and our purpose is primarily supportive. The local
sheriff has approved us to function as a back-up in case of any extreme local emergency. Our main focus includes learning how to preserve our inalienable rights guaranteed by the Constitution. I urge you to vote for Brian Jeppsen for County Commissioner for District 3—a true conservative and a true patriot.

Riding for the Brand By Allison Eliason
The Old West was built on a code, the cowboys code. It was simple and included a handful of phrases that those men and women lived by, phrases like “Always finish what you start,” “When you make a promise, keep it” and “Talk less and say more.” When cowboys signed up to work for a cattle outfit, they signed on to “Ride for the brand.” It was more than just a job, it was a lifestyle that they loved and honored. Paul Harwitz explained it best in his poem, “Ride For the Brand” when he wrote “It means a lot of different things, son. It has a lot to do with what’s lost and what’s won. I ain’t talking about gambling, but earning a living, Hard work, trust, respect, taking, and giving. “It means you can be trusted, and that you trust each pard, To do the chores that are needed, no matter how hard, ‘Cause you’re all riding for the same outfit, And you’re all striving together to benefit it. “It means you keep searching for that one last stray, Even though it’s the end of the day, Even though you’d rather stop and go to town. It means you don’t lay your responsibility
down.” “It means you give an honest day’s work for an honest day’s wage, Whether you’re in the corral or out riding the range. Every job’s important, and there ain’t none that ain’t. It’s not the cowboy way to quit though it’d be easier to say ‘I cain’t.’ “That’s what it means, that, and a whole lot more. It means that you’ve got pride in yourself, your job, and the land. So saddle-up. Toughen-up. Cowboy-up. Be a man. Ride for the brand.” That same sentiment of being proud of the outfit you work for, the mark that you leave and name that you make for yourself is still alive today. For those outside of the cattle work, branding might seem like an archaic practice but truth be told, it is a vital part of our work and a rich part of our heritage. Branding can be a difficult and easily misunderstood subject for people not accustomed to the practice, but a little bit of insight as to why cattlemen brand their livestock can ease such concerns. Why do ranchers brand their cattle? It’s pretty simple, really. Branding cattle is the most efficient and permanent means to mark cattle to a specific ranch or operation and is the only lawful way to claim cattle. The brand on a
calf is its operation’s signature, return address or trademark. A legal brand is one that has been assigned to an individual operation and owner and registered with the State Brand Inspector’s Office. Are livestock owners required to brand their cattle? Yes. Livestock producers are required to brand their cattle to show legal ownership. Not only is it required, but not marking cattle with a permanent brand is risking the chance that someone could claim their cattle as their own. Without any means to prove cattle ownership, there is little anyone could do against someone else’s claims. A person could round up any unbranded cattle, place their brand on it and claim them as their own and there would be no way to contest their claim. When are brands actually used to identify cattle? Brands are important and useful for identifying livestock ownership. Whether cattle are commingled across public lands or wander through fences to join the neighbors herd, brands help keep cattle straight with their owners. When cattle are sold, cross state lines or sent to slaughter, they are required to have a brand inspection to document lawful ownership. This documentation can also help track vaccinations and health
papers in cases of infectious disease outbreaks. Brands are also vital for identifying cattle in the cases when stolen cattle are recovered. Cattle rustling is not a thing of the past and having a permanent means of identifying cattle ownership is often the thing stopping cow theft. Are there other ways to identify cattle ownership? Yes, there are other ways to mark cattle but they are considered conveniences for working them, not as a legal identification. Cattle can be marked to show ownership in several other ways besides branding. Other means for marking include ear tagging, tattooing, nose printing, ear notching, implanted ID microchips, brisket tagging and RFID tags, just to name a few. These are less invasive means of marking, but they aren’t nearly as permanent as branding. Tags can be lost or easily removed, marks can be altered, microchips and radio tags can malfunction, and tattoos can be difficult to read. Many of these methods also require animals to be caught to be identified, something much more challenging for cattle out on the range. Most operations use several means to mark their cattle to include those more simple ways of recognizing cattle owners such as ear tags and marks as well as more permanent means

like branding. With so much technology and innovation, why continue traditional branding? With greater smart technology, there are a lot of new ways to mark and track cattle. But such means can be costly or inconsistent. No other business would allow their products to wander without a surefire way to claim it and neither will farmers and ranchers. These means are also difficult to use on the range or in the pasture, which is most often when they need to be identified. What methods of branding are used today? There are two types of permanent brands used, hot brands and cold brands. Hot branding is the more common means of branding where an iron is heated and then applied to leave a permanent mark on the hide. The hair won’t grow where the brand was placed, making the brand recognizable, even from a distance. Cold branding or freeze branding, permanently damages the hair follicles where the brand is placed. As the hair continues to grow, it doesn’t contain pigment and will grow in white, contrasting the normal hair color. A freeze brand can be much more difficult to leave a permanent mark and can be challenging to see on light colored cattle. Most brand inspectors prefer livestock
owners to use hot brands because they are easier to identify and less likely to be contested. Depending on their set up, ranches will either head and heel (rope) or use a specially designed calf table to brand their calves. The small calf chute is tipped to the side to more easily hold the calf and apply the brand. Cattle out on the range can’t be branded on a calf table, which is when ranchers turn to the well tried and tested method of roping. For many operations, they choose to rope their calves instead of using the calf table, even when circumstances would allow it because they enjoy it and with the right crew, it's actually much easier. What else happens when calves are branded? When calves are brought in for branding, it is also an ideal time to give vaccinations and castrate bull calves. Both of these are good herd health management practices. Vaccinations are important to keep disease and illnesses at bay and keep calves healthy. Research has found that castrating calves early on is important as they recover more quickly the younger they are. It is also an important practice to help them put their energy towards growing physically rather than maturing reproductively.

Shown above is a “fun shoot” which isn’t part of the regular Round Robin team competition. Here they are shooting the “Annie”. A line of shooters form in back of the regular stations. When the first shooter on the line calls “pull”, a clay pigeon is thrown, and that shooter tries to hit the flying target. If he or she misses, the next shooter in the line tries to hit the same bird. If not, the next shooter can try. The shooting goes down the line and repeats. Usually a shooter needs to be shot out to be out of the game.
Trap Shoots
Malad Round Robin Trap shoot kicked off April 17. What a great group of people having fun. Stop in at the Trap Club Saturday and/or Sunday and check it out. Have yourself a good ole yummy “Trap Burger” to support the club. The concession stand is open Saturday at 12:00 p.m. and Sunday at 7:00 a.m. Week one concluded with Team 22 being high

4-H: The Largest Youth Organization By Sawyer Fonnesbeck, University of Idaho Extension Educator-Oneida County Almost everyone has seen the four-leaf clover emblem with the four H’s on it. The 4-H youth organization has an emblem that is recognized in every state in America. The four H’s stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. These come from the pledge that youth recite at the beginning of many club meetings. The 4-H organization is dedicated to providing opportunities to youth in communities to learn and gain skills in a variety of topics. We know from previous research that kids who participate in 4-H are four times more likely to make contributions to their communities, two times more likely to be civically active, and two times more likely to make healthier choices. Our 4-H program here in Oneida county is no different. We are excited to interact with the youth of this community! Our volunteers are very knowledgably and have been a valuable resource. Some may think
that kids in 4-H only raise and show livestock animals at the fair. While this is certainly a large opportunity that kids can be involved in, there is so much more. Cooking, sewing, leatherwork, art, shooting sports, horseback riding, and leadership events are just a few items on the long list of projects and clubs youth ages 8-18 can be involved in. If you are interested in signing your kids up or have questions about the projects offered through our office, please give us a call at 208-7662243 or email oneida@ uidaho.edu.

By Dotty Thorpe Evanson The Malad Drive In taught me the worth of a buck. I didn’t buy groceries back in the 60s and 70s, but I bought a lot of dandies, small fries and cherry buzzes. I can’t tell you what a box of Cheerios cost or even what you had to spend for a bag of chips, but I knew what a dandy, small fry and cherry buzz were worth. Back in the day, everyone wanted seminary before lunch, not so we could get spiritually fortified before the noon hour, but so we could call in our order to the Drive In (4316) and beat the noon rush. There were no cell phones, so we had to rely on the good will of Brother Winward and Brother Lee to get our order in. I vaguely remember bartering good behavior in class for use of the phone. That was probably the most important duty of the day. When the bell rang,

it was out to Dixie’s El Camino, and then a race to get the shady spot under the lime tree, which was not really a lime tree even though it produced green, lime-looking things. If we were lucky, we got the shady spot and lunch as soon as we pulled in. The windows were down. The music was up, and friends got to visit. We learned the critical stuff like, “Did Joe give a current events quiz today?” I remember the day when the surprise wasn’t Joe’s quiz. Brent Gilgen and friends came rolling in with Margaret Mary Evans’ car. That was a surprise. Margaret Mary was Miss Everything and a senior. Brent Gilgen was the T&I genius and a lowly sophomore. It was a big surprise. Well, lunch was rolling along when Big Rol, Margaret Mary’s dad and owner of the Co-op, came strolling up the street. He calmly asked Brent for the keys, told
the boys to get out, and drove away in Margaret Mary’s car. That was a really big surprise! All this drama right there at the Malad Drive In. So, back to the worth of a buck. That lunch was totally covered by one buck and you got change, enough to stop at Bee’s for an ice cream cone. What a deal! The real deal, however, was the sociality that took place in that parking lot. It was where we gathered, right in plain sight of the whole town, including Rol Evans. Gene Capener and family provided us with a place to be where for one hour a day our parents knew where we were and what we were up to. So, Bryan and people, you not only will be providing us with food, but your location is “the” gathering place. And, even though we can’t get lunch for a buck anymore, it’s an important part of our Good Life!

BOWLING As bowling comes to an end for the season. There were 12 bowlers from Malad USBC that attended the USBC Open Champions in Las Vegas the weekend of April 7-9. This tournament is a National Competition open to everyone in the United States. This year, Doyle Williams and Rex Williams were honored with a plaque for 25 years of participation. Way to go guys! The USBC Open Championships is widely recognized as the world's largest participatory sporting event. The event consists of team, doubles, singles, and an optional all-events competition and is conducted in an arena or convention center setting in a different city each year. The Open Championships allows the grassroots USBC members to experience competition in a stadium-like atmosphere, while combining their bowling experience with a vacation to the tournament city. The tournament was
held for the first time in 1901 when six lanes were installed in the Welsbach Building in downtown Chicago. The event ran for four days, hosting 41 teams from nine states, while offering a prize fund of $1,592. Today, it takes a team of more than 30 carpenters and laborers more than a month to transform a venue into a state of the art 48-lane bowling center before the Open Championships begin its 140-day run. The event attracts 50,000 to 70,000 participants from all 50 states and features a prize fund that exceeds $5 million. The Open Championships regularly is conducted at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nevada, and the South Point Bowling Plaza in Las Vegas as well as exciting cities such as El Paso (Texas), Syracuse (New York) and Baton Rouge (Louisiana). Open to all bowlers who hold a USBC adult membership, the Open Championships has
three divisions - Classified for bowlers who average 155 or less (310 combined doubles average; 775 combined team average), Standard for bowlers who average 156-175 and a Regular Division for those who average 176 and higher. These numbers are based on Championships (Sport) averages. Malad leagues start in September and go through April. They offer a women’s league on Tuesday nights and a mixed league on Thursday nights. If you would like to bowl and qualify to participate in some of these tournaments (state and/or Open), contact Carla Williams or Marty Hill.

APRIL SCHOOL BOARD MEETING REPORT The monthly meeting of the Oneida School Board was held on April 19, 2022, with all members present. Tammy Benson, who has been a cleaner at all three Malad schools for two years, was honored as the “Employee of the Month.” (See accompanying article.) FFA members Sheridan Brown and Trevor Mills with adviser Stephanie Whipple reported on their trip to the FFA State Convention in Twin Falls where 1525 FFA members heard talks, participated in competitions, and toured ag-related industries. Sheridan and Trevor were the official MHS delegates to the Convention. Other Malad Chapter members participated on the horse evaluation team and the horticulture team. Sheridan participated in the public speaking competition. Krystal Ford was named a District Star Farmer, and Sheridan Brown, Catherine Leckie, Kristal Ford, Maisey Potter and Addie Waldron received their State Degrees. The group toured a dairy that had 1500 cows and stopped at Shoshone Falls. FCCLA members Aubree Palmer and Page Wilson with adviser Shantel Tavoian reported on their state convention where Page made a presentation on state parks and Aubree demonstrated the use of recycled plastics in items such as handbags. Aubree earned the opportunity to go to the national FCCLA convention; the Board approved her trip. Superintendent Jon Abrams announced that Crystal Kimberling’s 21st Century grant, which will continue the after-school program for Malad Elementary and Middle Schools for another five years, was awarded by the State. The building administrators made short reports to the Board. Ms. Sarah McIntyre of Malad Elementary School reported that the Lighthouse Team is striving to improve the school and that Tina Grote, the school librarian, is promoting the “Celebrating Reading” program. The ISATs begin next week. Mr. Bob Hannah of Malad Middle School
stressed the importance of the after-school program and handed out lists of MMS events through the end of the school year. He also announced that Drake Morrison is the national wrestling champion at 125 pounds in the 14U group. This is not a school-sponsored competition but is an impressive achievement. The ISATs have started. Mr. Michael Corbett of Malad High School announced that elections for studentbody officers and try-outs for drill and cheer teams have started. Friday school is helping students complete their classes and earn credits. ISATs are underway. Dr. Teri Sorensen of the Idaho Home Learning Academy reported that 3260 students are enrolled for next year. Seven IHLA students qualified for State in the History Fair competition. A $24,000 grant paid for training in mastery-based learning for teachers. ISATs are underway in both remote and face-toface platforms. Mr. Jon Abrams reported that Stone Elementary School will likely be removed from the “needs improvement” list for next year. After much discussion with parents, he determined that the 4th and 5th grade students will continue coming into Malad Elementary School instead of remaining at Stone, mostly because of the difficulty of staffing for additional students at the Stone School. Superintendent Abrams then reminded everyone that the vote on the Supplemental Levy will be on May 17. Oneida School District is again proposing a $290,000 annual levy to run for two years. The levy is used for maintenance and operations, including minor repairs to buildings, but not for capital improvements. Mr. Abrams said that the individual tax amount would go down for most taxpayers because of the growth in the County, which spreads the levy amount among more taxpayers. Of the 107 school districts in Idaho with over 100 students, all but two districts have bonds or levies or both. Oneida School District ranks
tenth from the bottom in per student levy/bond amount with $466 per student (online students are not included in this calculation). Of those districts with levies or bonds, West Side School District has the lowest per student rate at $154 per student, and Garden Valley School District has the highest per student rate at $5351 per student. A list of facilities needs will be presented at the next Board meeting with remodeling the student bathrooms in the high school as the highest priority. Mr. Abrams gave a short report on the recently completed legislative session in relation to education in the State. Allday kindergarten may be offered by districts with funding coming from a formula based on average daily attendance, student growth and free-and-reduced lunch numbers. In Oneida School District, parents must choose to have a child in full-day kindergarten at the beginning of the year and cannot change after school has started. Idaho will no longer use Common Core standards as a base for school curricula. Schools will now use Idaho Content Standards, which were developed by teams of teachers and the Department of Education and approved by the State Board. The legislature voted to give all full-time school employees a one-time $1000 bonus to show appreciation for their efforts during the pandemic. Other employees will receive prorated amounts. Because of the pandemic, the funding formula for schools was changed from being based on average daily attendance (ADA) to being based on average daily membership (ADM). The governor vetoed the legislature’s bill to make this change permanent. In an effort to attract more teachers to Idaho, the legislature voted to give outof-state teachers credit for their years of experience earned in other states. Another bill that passed will allow teachers to be part of the State family health insurance plan. In Oneida School District, the cost
of the family health insurance plan will go from $1250 per month to $350 per month, which makes Oneida School District more competitive with districts already offering low-cost family health insurance plans. The Board heard a request from student Mathilde Dickerson to begin a Debate Club at Malad High School. She said that 24 students have expressed interest in the club and that Kory Kay and Jason Dahlke would be the advisers. Eventually, the students would compete with other schools. Action will be taken at next month’s meeting. The Board also heard a request from student Jaden Davis to begin a Gender-Sexuality Alliance Club, patterned after other such clubs throughout the nation. The bylaws presented to the Board had been adapted from a university club, which made many of the by-laws too complex and inappropriate for a high school club. The Board encouraged the student to be specific as to the purpose of the club and to write simple by-laws appropriate for a high school club. Action will be taken at next month’s meeting if new by-laws are presented. The Board approved a request for early graduation for a student, which would go into effect next December if the student completes all requirements for graduation. The Board also approved the following personnel, pending their passing the State-mandated background check: Misty Amendola and Kimberly Jeppson as substitute teachers, Jessica Smith as a substitute teacher and substitute lunchroom cook, Shayna Waldron as the District speech language pathologist and Lexi Evans as a high school ag teacher. The following coaches were approved, pending their passing the State-mandated background check: MHS girls’ basketball – Trevor Jones as head coach with Tyson Daniels as varsity assistant coach; Kory Kay as JV coach; Alex Probst as C team
coach and Bri Adams as C team volunteer assistant coach. MHS boys’ basketball – Zach Beutler as head coach with Clint Bastian as varsity assistant coach; Jordan Beutler as JV coach; Zack Jeppesen as C team coach. MHS dance/drill – Wendy Owens as head coach with Kelsey Owens as assistant coach; Wendy Hess, Lyndsie Thomas and Alyssa Ward as volunteer coaches. MHS football – Craig
Buttars as paid assistant coach; Kolter Howell as volunteer coach. For next year, Tia Talbot will transfer from Malad High School to Malad Middle School as a science teacher. Virginia Neal will transfer from Stone Elementary to Malad Elementary School as a teacher. The June meeting of the Oneida School Board will be on June 14 instead of June 21.
SCHOOL DISTRICT EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
Employee of the Month Tammy Benson (front), with Michael Corbett, Bob Hannah, Sarah McIntyre, and Jon Abrams
Tammy Benson
The Oneida School District “Employee of the Month” for April is Tammy Benson, who has worked as a cleaner at all three Malad schools for the past two years. She was honored at the School Board meeting on Tuesday, April 19, 2022. Ms. Sarah McIntyre, Principal of Malad Elementary School, read the following letter about Tammy: “Tammy is a wonderful and dedicated employee and a valuable asset to all three schools in Malad. “Tammy has worked at Malad Elementary, Middle, and High School for two years. She always has a kind word and smile. She is very dependable. Tammy is willing to take on any task asked of her and do it to the best of her ability and with a positive attitude. She ensures that our school is clean and properly supplied to help provide the best possible experience for our students. She goes out of her way
to support the schools. For example, she found couches for the teachers lounge at the elementary school and donated a microwave for the students at the high school. “ ‘Tammy is a gift to the school. She always keeps an eye out for any way to help,’ said Bob Hannah. “Mike Corbett stated that Tammy was ‘consistent, helpful and dependable, dependable, and dependable. She never balks at any task assigned and has a happy personality. She makes you feel better after you see her.’ “Tammy is a credit to the Oneida School District. She exemplifies what an outstanding employee is and we are proud to work with her.” In recognition of being the “Employee of the Month,” Tammy received a gift card, a copy of the “Starfish” poem, and a plaque that will hang in the School District office for the next month.

Tuesday, April 19, at noon. Vice-President Wayne Jones conducted the meeting, and Secretary Rhonda Neal read the minutes of the last meeting and presented the treasurer’s report. After lunch, Marcie Stocks, the lead advocate at the Oneida County Crisis Center, presented information about the role the Crisis Center plays in providing safe shelter for victims of domestic abuse, informing students at Malad Middle and High Schools about safe relationships, educating the community about the dangers of human trafficking, collecting food and other necessities for families and orga-
Sheriff Arne Jones noted the importance of the Crisis Center in assisting law enforcement, especially with the growing number of domestic violence incidents in the county. Sheriff Jones then reported on progress being made on the cold case and on the triple homicide. He informed the group that the Sheriff’s Office is fully staffed at present, but that turnover is always a problem. The number of cases investigated by the Sheriff’s Office is constantly increasing, but the new radio system will aid the Office in their work. The Oneida County Deputies is a volunteer
work of the Sheriff’s Office through providing encouragement and funding for law enforcement in Oneida County.

The Oneida County Hospital 2012 Health Fair, “Rockin Healthy” was held that day and providers were on hand to show patrons how to become healthier. On April 28, 2012, Carlie Stewart will say goodbye as Malad’s Distinguished Young Woman of 2012. Sadly, Carlie will not be able to pass her title to a successor. Hopefully the following year interest C Y
M K
will be renewed in the Distinguished Young Woman program and Carlie will be available at that time to honor another girl. Max Firth is the newest inductee into the Oneida County Deputies Organization. At the recent quarterly meeting, Firth was welcomed into the group by Darl Gleed, president. Sheriff Jeff Semrad administered the oath. Cast and crew are busily preparing for the Malad Theater Guild’s upcoming play, “Man of La Mancha”. Not a group who shies away from major theatrical productions, the Malad Theater Guild is offering this presentation of “Man of La Mancha” for five evening performances on May 4, 5, 7, 11 and 12. Malad High School FFA members who participated in the Idaho State FFA Leadership Conference were Natalie Felter, Olivia Sands, Matthew Williams, Shannon Williams, Carrie Ann Christiansen, Maddie Ogden, Tyler Ogden and Samantha Daniels. 15 YEARS AGO (2007) Malad Junior Miss Brittany Buehler is set to turn her title over to another. The 2007 program, entitled “Celebration,” will feature nine participants, vying for the chance to wear the crown. Alexis Plowman has been asked to speak at this year’s Brigham Young University Women’s Conference, sponsored by the General Relief Society Organization of the LDS Church. The theme of her address will be “Are We Enough? Of Course, We Are,” based on a talk by Elder Neal A. Maxwell. This year’s Women’s Conference, for women 16 years and older, is slated for May 3 and 4 on the BYU campus. Alexis is the daughter of Don and Carlean Tubbs. Mary Ann Jones is the College of Education and Human Services Valedictorian for Utah State University’s Spring commencement 2007. She will be recognized at the college’s Commencement Celebration on May 5, where she will be among the Commencement speakers. Mary Ann is the daughter of Jim and Judy Jones. Andrea Daniels, 15, is the new Idaho Junior Rodeo Queen for 2007. The Malad High School Freshman was crowned at the Idaho Junior Rodeo Association Queen Contest in Idaho Falls. During the competition, she was also voted Miss Congeniality. She is the daughter of Don and Brenda Daniels. 25 YEARS AGO (1997) Thirteen junior participants will be on stage at the Malad Elementary Auditorium in the 16th annual Malad Junior Miss Program. Each will be judged in panel evaluation, creative and performing arts, scholastic achievement, fit-
ness and presence and composure. This year’s program entitled “The Fabulous Fifties,” will be emceed by wellknown Malad Businessman, J. D. “Cheddar” Thomas. Participants in this year’s program are Nicole Bastian, Brooke Blaisdell, Marilyn Bott, Connie Brown, Elizabeth Crowther, JaRon Crowther, Mindy Griffiths, Emily Hansen, Sara Jo John, Bree Price, Jandy Smith, Kellie Souix Stokes and Janet Tubbs. Ashley Vanderwood Travis Gugelman and Emily Hansen finished in the top eight at the State Speech Competition in their individual categories. State Speech was held at Highland High school in Pocatello. Others participating from Malad were Mary Clark, in Retold Stories, Melanie Burrie, in Humorous Interpretive Readings and Jared Robbins, in Sales. Elder Brandon Vaughan has returned from serving an Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the South Africa Johannesburg Mission. The main business for the Oneida County Republicans at their April 7 meeting was to reorganize. Marie Neal will serve as chairman, BelvaLene Baker, vice-chairman; Pearl Jones, secretary; Louise Harris, treasurer; Dixie Bush, public relations; Cheryl Shepherd and Con Alder, state committee members. 35 YEARS AGO (1987) With petitions due May 1 for candidates desiring to run for Oneida School Board, two residents have made their intentions known. Alden Neal will be seeking re-election in District V and Sheldon Jensen in District I. Both are incumbents to their offices and are presently running unopposed. The Bear River Medical Associates of Tremonton, Utah, say that they have signed a fiveyear lease agreement on a building located at 37 Bannock in Malad for the purpose of locating their new medical clinic. The doctors have set June 1 as the target date for their opening. All of the doctors are Board Certified Family physicians and are residency trained. Although their first year to participate in the National History Fair, students from Malad Elementary School fared well during state competition in Boise. Krystal Jacaway, participating in the Youth Division came away with a First Place for the state of Idaho. She presented a Media Presentation detailing the “Driving of the Golden Spike”. Capturing second place for the State of Idaho and a Red Ribbon were Jennifer Gunnell, Amber Braker and Sara Jones for their group project in the Junior Division entitled “Liberty
Through Literacy.” Nola Jean Thomas has been selected as one of the Outstanding Young Women of America. The purpose of this program is to recognize young women who give freely of their time and talents to provide unselfish service to enrich the quality of life around them. 45 YEARS AGO (1977) The “floating” dock at Deep Creek Reservoir is firmly lodged on land this year. Water master Rowland Jones estimates the reservoir will run out of water by mid-July. In an effort to stretch water as far as possible, Malad City garden water turns have been limited to one per week. Deep Creek officials will start water down the channel sometime after May 10. If Sunday is sunny, Malad residents are encouraged to enjoy music and a picnic dinner at Malad City Park. Director Ralph Bennett has lined up a musical afternoon May 1 beginning at 3:30 p.m. that will include presentations by all the Malad School bands – the Elementary, fifth and sixth grades, Junior High and Senior High bands. Ann Ward is one of three area girls competing in the Miss Idaho National Teenager finals at Boise. Judging is based on scholastic and civic achievements, beauty, poise and personality. Each girl will present a 100-word essay entitled “What’s Right About America,” during the event at Boise State University. Attending the third annual Robert Pace Creative Piano Ensemble Workshop at Utah State University were Mrs. Trudy Ward and six of her piano students; LaRee Jensen, Brett Horsley, Lonny Ward, Donny Harding, Kathy Corbridge and Larry Ward. Each student played a solo and improvision. New Pep Club members announced the newly elected officers for next year. They are Annette Corbridge, president; Julie Ward, vice president; Anita Head, treasurer; Jill Eliason, secretary. The girls also chose the three members of the Pep Club who showed the most enthusiasm and best exemplified spirit at Malad High. Miss Spirit for 1977 is Becky Hansen. Her attendants are Terri Thorpe, first attendant and Anita Head, second attendant. 55 YEARS AGO (1967) Seven Malad High School junior boys were selected as delegates to the American Legion’s Idaho Boys State and three alternates were chosen. Delegates are Don S. Evans, Jr., Stephen Facer, Jeffrey Jones, Norval Moss, Brad Price, Nick Sorensen and Tim Willie. Alternates are Larry Elcock, Kim Hartvigsen and Danny John. Fay J. Evans was named as acting postmaster to replace Henry
W. Thomas, who will retire this month. With a perfect 4.0 grade average, Melanie Mabey was named Malad Junior High School valedictorian this week.

Attending from Malad will be Paul Willie and father, Carl Willie; John Moss and father, Bill Moss and Dale Brinkerhoff and father, Jack Brinkerhoff. ‘People Who Make Oneida’: “I just love to draw and I’m glad I can help others with it” was Mrs. Marion J. (Lois) Hess’ comment on her contributions of artwork as backgrounds for pageants and plays and table decorations. Her only training in art work consists of early practice in the “Palmer Method” writing she was taught in grade school, Mrs. Hess said. Drawing is easy and natural for her. The former Lois Price of McCammon, Mrs. Hess says being a mother has been her most rewarding career. Her family consists of two sons, Marvin and Don Lee, three daughters, Rose Mary, Kathleen and LaReta, and three grandchildren. 65 YEARS AGO (1957) Ken Wharton was named chief deputy for Bannock County by
Sheriff H. E. (Hank) Parker. Deputy Wharton has long been interested in police work. He attended two State Police training schools; one FBI stolen car school, Air Force police school, and is currently taking a correspondence course in fingerprinting and criminal investigation.

Bob Christophersen and Ken Eliason host ice cream social and Q&A In anticipation of the upcoming county commission election, candidates Bob Christophersen and Ken Eliason hosted an evening of root beer floats and conversation at the Fire Station. The candidates welcomed dozens of visitors, including friends, supporters, and those curious about their positions on a range of issues to the event. From family to former commissioners, the pair answered questions about a range of issues
that are currently facing the county, as well as those which are likely to emerge in the near and long term. Among the topics discussed with guests one on one were water issues, new zoning standards, road maintenance, and related development issues. Over the last year, the commission has dealt with the revision of the Building and Development Code to more carefully manage growth, new Road Standards, the explosion of construc-
tion across the valley, and the emergence of a number of issues that are now confronting Oneida, as well as many other rural counties, across the state. Eliason and Christophersen are currently serving as commissioners. Current Commission Chairman Bill Lewis is not up for election this year. Eliason is running against Andee Parry in the primary, and Christophersen is running against Brian Jeppsen.
Commissioners Ken Eliason and Bob Christophersen meet and greet voters over root beer floats
COUNTY COMMISSION MEETING 4/25 SE Idaho Public Health Budget Director Maggi Mann spoke to the commission about the budget for the upcoming year. She explained some of the complicating factors heading into this year, including new legislation and arrangements related to House Bill 316 and its effects on funding streams. SIPH receives a large portion of its funding from the counties involved, as well as contracts with Heath and Welfare and other governmental bodies, and fees for services rendered by the department. As a result of the HB 316, counties will be responsible for making up the deficit created by the reduction of funds from the state. SIPH is requesting a little over $2 million from the 8 counties. Health districts have been in place for around 50 years. The district is not asking for an increase in contributions to the baseline county contribution for Oneida county, which is determined by the population of the county relative to the other 7 counties in the district. Essentially, because Oneida is a small percentage of the total district population and assessed asset value of the total ($418 million), its overall share of the total is low. The total amount requested of the county to support SIPH is $67,708, which is 2.8% of the total requested of the counties in the SIPH. $33,003 is from the Idaho Code governing the county contributions to the SIPH. This number is slightly down from last year. $30,705 is the result of House Bill 316, which reallocates the funding burden from the state general funds to the counties themselves. Overall, the 8 counties involved have seen a population increase, with Oneida county below the average of that increase. The assessed market value of the county, however, has increased in a significant way. The new arrangement eliminates the need to pay the Indigent funds, which vary according to the number of claims involved. Chairman Lewis moved to support the proposed budget from the SIPH, which will be taken to the board of counties and then voted on for its final form. The commission approved support for the budget. C Y

Board Member for SIPH board of directors Commissioner Christophersen, who serves on the county boards of health, will have his term expire as a member of the SIPH board in June. Chairman Lewis moved to reappoint Commissioner Christophersen to another term on the board, and authorize him as a voting member as a proxy for the commission as a whole for the upcoming budget hearing in May. Maggi Mann expressed appreciation for Christophersen’s work on the board to date. Water Runoff Diana Dredge spoke with the commission about the situation with the final PLAT for Field of Dreams subdivision. City attorney Dustin Smith had advised that the PLAT couldn’t be approved without a letter of understanding about water runoff into county barrow pits. Dredge believed that as a result of driveways which go against county building code, the ditches will not be able to drain the water effectively. The driveways (which are technically illegal because they were constructed without permits, lack culverts, and eliminate drainage on the roadway) are an additional problem because they were not constructed by the current homeowners. The city’s building code does not permit multiple access points to homes which have not been granted permits. The issue has been an ongoing concern for the Road and Bridge department, as these driveways invalidate the roads for state funding since they violate the state road standards. The new Chairman Lewis expressed the opinion that he felt department heads, such as Road and Bridge, should be authorized to make decisions about these sorts of issues. Road and Bridge has sent letters to the involved properties advising them to remove the driveways that violate the code. Chairman Lewis read into the record a thank you letter from citizens of New Canyon, who expressed appreciation for the actions of RB and the Sheriff’s at patrolling traffic in the area, which had been deemed to be a safety hazard. Ryan Summers PLAT Bobbi Summers spoke
to the commission about splitting property into smaller parcels for sale. The resulting PLAT will constitute a minor subdivision, which requires paved approaches into the properties. County Planning and Zoning had previously reviewed the PLAT and recommended the county accept it. A motion to accept the PLAT was made and passed. Water Issues and Subdivisions Dave Jones approached the commission with concerns about the water availability in the valley as a result of the increase in building. The commission discussed various limits on what moratoriums were possible within the county structure to more aggressively regulate water issues related to the building code. The new building code, which should fully be in place by the beginning of summer, will give the county more leverage with regard to wells across Oneida county, particularly with regard to agricultural lands. Over the course of the last year, the subject of limited water resources and the tension exerted on the situation by the expansion in building has been at the heart of a number of commission and city council discussions. As long as the drought conditions which have been in place over the last decade or so continue, it is unlikely that the pressures will decrease. Fairgrounds Road Project Commissioner Christophersen reported on the progress with the Fairgrounds road project. The bid on the table was for a parking lot 160 feet wide, with eight inch compacted gravel, as well as a gravel roadway for $44,000. The bid at present does not clarify a grade/slope for the project to account for water runoff, which Chairman Lewis suggested would be necessary in order to move forward with the bid. Lon Colton mentioned the issue of melting snow and resulting drainage problems. The bid from 4 Tracks Excavation for the project was approved by the commission after the details were verified. Labor cost for weed spraying Based on fuel and chemical price increase, the rate for weed spray-
ing was requested to be set at $65/hour to cover the labor cost. Chemical fees are paid through an ISDA program. The commission motioned to establish a new fee schedule of $65/hour, effective immediately. The Weed department also approached the commission about hiring seasonal help. The commission approved an immediate hire for the department, with another hire to be made after Facebook and newspaper notices are placed. The Weed department has budgeted for the two employees. Financial Audit An audit was conducted on the county’s finances, and it was declared to be in good fiscal shape with a clean audit. Some of the federal and state funding streams will be changing in the next fiscal year, which will require some adjustments to spending outlays. The county has increased its capital assets over the year as the result of building projects such as the ongoing Narrows project, as well as the purchase of construction and medical equipment. Capital liabilities have decreased as the result of fewer leases for various equipment and buildings. The commission signed a representation letter verifying that they accept the audit. Lighting for Event Center Parking lot Sawyer Fonnesbeck spoke to the commission about progress on the project to install LED lighting in the Event Center parking lot. The project is in its initial stages, with a consultant having been located to come and inspect the area and infrastructure before presenting a bid. The lighting will be subject to grant funds to take it to fulfillment. Public Defense financial request A state program allows for up to $50,000 for counties that participate in shared public defense arrangements to receive additional financial aid under the existing Indigent Defense program. Application for the funds requires the commissioners to sign documents attesting to their eligibility and plans for the fund dispersal. Most of the funds will be used on staffing and various justice programs. Drought declaration by State
A letter from the state explained that “Oneida county has been designated a primary disaster area by the state, and may be eligible for assistance from the FSA”. The disaster declaration is the result of the ongoing drought. The governor’s office has suggested that it plans to make a regional drought declaration for counties across southern Idaho. This makes a number of state funds and grazing fee reductions accessible to the agricultural community. The commission moved to support the drought declaration for Oneida county. Senator Risch rep Renee Richardson; Local Gems initiative The “Support your local gems” initiative, sponsored by Senator Risch, is dedicated to supporting and highlighting local businesses in communities. The Initiative is scheduled to be honored on May 6. The commission suggested that they would like to support the initiative and spread the word across the valley about small business appreciation. The commission made and approved a motion to support the Local Gems initiative. Elevator construction manager authority The commission had already approved delegating the authority for change-orders up to $10K to the Building Inspector for the courthouse elevator project. However, since the former Building Inspector Mick Udy is no longer with the county, the authorization required a new resolution to invest the change-order authority in whoever becomes the building inspector in the future. Depot road appraisal of property The commission is interested in purchasing some of the property on Depot road in order to smooth the road (which requires eliminating an S curve) in order that it might be used as an alternative truck route during construction on Bannock street. The property in question is currently owned by the Union Pacific railroad. The commission decided to determine specifically how much land it was interested in purchasing and make an offer to the railroad, following a survey. Building Inspector/PZ positions A number of applicants
responded to the posting for the building inspector and planning and zoning administrator positions. Rhonda Neal was named to the planning and zoning administrator position in a fulltime capacity. Tory Richardson was appointed to the Building Inspector position on a part time basis. Mick Udy has agreed to continue in his capacity as Building Inspector during the transition. Rhonda Neal suggested that the number of building permits currently pending in the county was significant. The commission expressed hope moving forward that the process would be as smooth as possible during the changeover in staff. Opioid settlement update As a co-plaintiff of a multi-state lawsuit settlement by opioid manufacturers, Oneida county was notified that it will soon be received funds from the settlement. The funds are required to be spent in various programs or initiatives designed to reduce the abuse and harm of opioids. ARPA final rule The first report of the county’s spending of ARPA funds is due soon. ARPA funds have been assigned for use across the county for a number of projects, including the ongoing elevator project. The total ARPA funds to be allocated to the county total more than $800,000. So far, the county has okayed ARPA funds of around $290,000. There are still a number of pending projects which have applied for the ARPA funding which remain to be decided. It was moved to assign the elevator project to ARPA funding, which was passed by the commission. Clay Handy Clay Handy, who is running for a representative position in District 27, spoke to the commission about his experience as a former commissioner in Cassia county. He is visiting county commissions and other civic meeting across District 27 in order to become more familiar with the local constituencies. As a former commissioner of a small rural county, Handy explained some of the similarities he sees with Oneida and his experiences in Cassia.

It was another week of games for the Lady Dragons, first against Bear Lake on Wednesday, April 20, winning 11-1 and then again Thursday, April 21, facing Snake River, losing their first game of the season, 6-7. “We are so proud of these girls and how hard they play. And we are grateful for a loss so that we can see where we need to work. There is always room to improve. We look forward to watching what they can do over the new few weeks to hopefully get us to state,” Coach Christie Schow said.
The MHS baseball team had two games over the previous week, hosting American Falls in Malad where they won, 7-5, and traveling to Blackfoot to play Snake River again, losing 5-11. “Against American Falls, we pitched pretty well but still had some errors that allowed more runs. We didn’t start hitting until the 6th inning but were able to score enough run to take the win. We were tied at five runs with the count 0-2 when we hit a double to bring in one more run and take the lead. Jaden Ward and Bridger Bastian each had multiple hits at the plate. Braylin Tripp, Jaden Ward and Ryan Hubbard all had hit doubles to push their teammates across home
“Against Snake River, we just didn’t pitch well to start the game and still had some errors. After a bit we were able to settle in to the game and play better. Unfortunately we were later in the game before we really got some offense going. It was a tough loss. With four at bats, Kyle Horsley had the hits, including a double and claimed the most RBIs for the team. Bridger Bastian scored two runs on two hits to add to Malad’s total,” The Malad Dragon Baseball team looks to play Soda Springs, Friday, April 29 and Preston, Saturday, April 30 on their home field.
