NEWS IN BRIEF Outbreaks of Monkeypox reported in U.S.
Monkeypox is an infectious disease that results in rashes, blisters, and lesions. Related to chickenpox, it has emerged in a small number of cases in the U.S., which is prompting the CDC to consider releasing strategic reserves of an existing vaccine to minimize its potential spread. The vaccine, which is used against chickenpox, has proven very effective at preventing monkeypox.

The Lady Dragons fought hard, battled the elements, and were able to once again bring home the 2A Idaho State Softball Championship Trophy. Players for this team are: (front: left to right) Bostyn Combs, Teagan Daniels, Hallie Horsley, Kaitlyn Pickett, Anistyn Tovey, and Tylee Venable, (back) Coach Arlene Shulz, Coach Christie Schow, Brylee Oglesbee, Riglee Peterson, Adley Kimberling, Beth McClain, Graycee Goddard, Maggie Willie, Madi Green, Kaitlyn Tanner, Kaysha Beck, Hadlee Summers, Coach Aysha Maddox, and Coach Bri Adams.
The Lady Dragon softball team, once again, dominated the Idaho State Softball Tournament and returned home as the State Championship team. Of the eight teams that qualified for the double-elimination championship tournament, Malad was the only team to come into the final game undefeated. Their grit, determination, drive and skill led them to that final victory over West Jefferson to claim the title of State Champions. The road to victory was anything but easy as they battled passed opponents very deserving of their place in the state tournament, but Malad was up to the task. After traveling to Orofino, Idaho for the state games, Malad first faced off against North Fremont, a team they had faced earlier in the season. Despite feeling sluggish and somewhat low energy from their 9+ hour drive to northern Idaho, the Lady Dragons defeated the Huskies, 10 to 0. Malad was slow getting their hitting game up to speed, not getting a run on the board until in the second inning. Senior Maggie Willie managed a single hit to get on base, where she was also able to advance on an error to second. Bostyn Combs followed Willie with a hit to advance her to third base. Adley Kimberling then stepped up to bat, hitting a line drive to right field, giving Willie the chance to score Malad’s first run of the tournament. Malad’s hitting and scoring finally took off in the bottom of the fourth where the Lady Dragons scored 6 runs against North Fremont. Willie, on base after a four ball count, worked her way around the bases as she took advantage of the Huskies errors and scored as Graycee
The first war crimes trial held under international humanitarian law resulted in the conviction of a 21 year old Russian solider, charged with the shooting of an unarmed civilian on the fourth day of the current Russia-Ukraine war. Vadim Shishimarin was found guilty of a war crime and sentenced to life in prison. The Ukranian court hopes that the conviction will send a strong message to soldiers on both sides of the conflict. Russia considers the charges and conviction “outrageous.”
Dedication of Gold Star Family Memorial Scheduled for Memorial Day
As the American Legion makes its rounds across Idaho and Utah to honor service members, its stop in Malad, scheduled for 11:00 May 30, will included the dedication of a memorial to honor Gold Star Families. The memorial bell, which was created by local artist Doug Adams, was designed to commemorate the sacrifices of the families of fallen soldiers. The base was prepared by Levi Balappa in conjunction with his Eagle Scout project, and the concrete was provided by Jerry Ward.

Goddard hit a fly ball to the outfield. Combs ran in on the next play as Kaitlyn PIckett was up to bat, smacking the ball to shortstop on the first pitch. The team suffered two outs on the next play, but rather than getting discouraged, the team battled back in a big way. Hallie Horsley stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and only one out remaining. With the count two to zero, Horsley sent the ball to center field. Goddard ran in on the hit, followed
by Hadlee Summers, courtesy runner for Pickett. As the Huskies threw the ball in from center field to the pitcher, Horsely rounded first base to second. A dropped ball was just the error the Dragons needed, giving Madi Green the chance to run across home plate with Horsley on her heels to bring the score to Malad 7, North Fremont 0. The MHS softball team managed three more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Anistyn Tovey was sent in as
a pinch runner for Goddard and Summers in for Pickett as Tylee Venable was up to bat in place of Brylee Oglesbee. On a wild pitch, Tovey took third base and Summers moved on to second. Four pitches later, Venable was walked to first base. Green, up next to bat, hit a grounder to third base and Tovey went on to score another run for Malad.

Idaho Fish and Game, along with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service euthanized a sow grizzly and a one year old male as a result of their having become “food conditioned” to the area, and increasingly seeking out sources of food from humans. The two were noted many times in residential areas, and obtaining food from porches, garbage cans and vehicles. According to Fish and Game, bear conditioned to human food sources often lose their fear of people and create a high-risk environment for both.

School Board Employee of the Month—Laurie Richins
The museum's large bearskin has been restored in time for the May 28th opening
and the estimated weight was 1200 pounds. It was killed with a single shot to the neck with a 30.06. Ralph Hadfield, a younger brother of Art Hadfield, donated the bear to the Museum. The Hadfields were residents of Malad. Sid explained to Bill that this mount is unusual in that the original teeth of the bear are preserved. Now such mounts use fake teeth. Kodiak bears are a unique subspecies of the brown or grizzly bear. They live exclusively on the islands in the Kodiak Archipelago and have been isolated from other bears for about 12,000 years. There are about 3,500 Kodiak bears alive today. They are the largest bears in the world. A male can stand over 10 feet tall when on its hind legs and 5 feet when on all four legs. They weigh up to 1,500 pounds. Even though they are known as the world’s largest land carnivore (meat eaters), they are really omnivores (using

The bear is back!
A large Kodiak bear mount has long been a favorite item for children to see at the Oneida Pioneer Museum. Malad third graders were disappointed when they visited the Museum last Wednesday as part of a field trip to learn that the hide had been taken down just the day before to be cleaned. Museum Board member Bill Lewis managed to take the hide from the wall where it has been hanging for many years. Board members have commented over the years that the hide needed cleaning, but not knowing how to manage the feat, just left it to gather dust. Bill, however, did a little research and learned that you could clean hides by using compressed air. He purchased a couple of bottles of compressed air and wrangled the hide from its hanging place. Afterwards, his brother, Sid, who is a taxidermist, told him to bring the hide to him. Sid has an air compressor and has had some experience in taking care of hides. They turned the compressor on; and Bill said, “Dust blew like a storm!” The newly dusted, cleaned bear, is back hanging on the wall of the Museum. Sid and Bill also treated the hide so that dust won’t cling to the hair. It should be clean for many more years. The large brown bear, sometimes called Kodiak, was killed on September 12, 1950, at Iliamna, head of Upper Tularic Creek, Alaska by Art Hadfield. From the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail, the hide measures 8 feet 1 inch in length. The length of its hind foot is 14 inches,

a variety of foods). They actually spend more time eating grass, plants and berries than meat. Fish are an important part of their diets, but few expend the time or effort necessary to chase and kill mammals. Members of the Museum board invite all residents to come sometime during the summer to see this and other unique displays at the Oneida Pioneer Museum - and bring your children – they love the bear! A good day to visit would be on opening day, Saturday, May 28. Board members are conducting a bake sale with lots of homemade baked goods, which starts at 12:00 noon and will last until
approximately 2:30 p.m. The Museum will be open that day until 5:00 p.m. and again on Monday, Memorial Day, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. For the rest of the summer, the regular hours will be 1:00 to 5:00, Tuesdays through Saturdays, beginning Tuesday, May 31 through Labor Day. Ongoing is the Friends of the Museum fundraising campaign. The Museum board appreciates the support of Malad residents and former residents. Donations are welcome in any amount and can be mailed to the Oneida Pioneer Museum, P.O. Box 79, Malad City, ID, 83252.

Laurie Richins, who is retiring after teaching for Oneida School District for 39 years, was honored as the “Employee of the Month” at the Oneida School Board meeting on Tuesday, May 17, 2022. Ms. Sarah McIntyre, Principal of Malad Elementary School, read the following letter in recognition of Laurie’s long tenure as a teacher at the school: “Laurie [Richins] is a dedicated and hard-working teacher at Malad Elementary School. She has taught for the Oneida School District since 1983. Her depth of knowledge and willingness to share with her colleagues are great assets to Malad Elementary. “Laurie is always dependable and willing to take on any responsibility asked of her. She completes the task to the best of her ability and with a positive attitude. Laurie supports her colleagues, especially those who are new to the school. She collaborates with her team and other staff members to help provide
the best possible experiences for our students. “When asked, Dotty Evanson (former principal of Malad Elementary School) said, ‘Longest running circus room in history . . . probably could make the Guinness Book of World Records. Seriously, she was reliable. I think she will probably show up next year on the first day. It is what she does!’ “Bob Hannah (former counselor and principal of Malad Elementary School) stated that ‘Laurie has been great to work with. I found her approachable and open to change I always knew where I stood with her. Laurie doesn’t have much of a poker face. She was always good to visit with me regarding just about anything.’ “Laurie Richins is deserving of this recognition. . . . She is a credit to the Oneida School District.” Laurie received a copy of the “Starfish” poem, a gift card, and a plaque that will hang in the Oneida School District office for the next month.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING MAY 17
The regular monthly meeting of the Oneida School Board was held on Tuesday, May 17, with Board member Tresie Carter participating online. Laurie Richins was honored as the Oneida School District “Employee of the Month.” (See accompanying article.) The Masonic Lodge Teacher of the Year, Lindsay Waldron, was honored. Student Madelyn Shaw was honored for receiving the Maryam Mirzakhan Certificate of Excellence, an award for high-achieving girls in math, from the Mathematical Association of America. Student Maggie Willie displayed her original painting for which she earned Honorable Mention in the Congressional Art Competition. Several teachers were present who had received grants from Nucor. Malad Elementary School teachers Lindsay Waldron and Jordan Cook received $600 for a 3D printer, and librarian Katrina Grote received $500 for supplies to help students with dexterity and motor skills. Malad Middle School teachers Kathy Atkinson, Meagan Gleckler, and Tracy Ward received $370 for math visual aids and games, Angie Thompson received $1000 for math aids for special education students, and Annie Brower received $386 for supplies to start a hydroponic garden. Malad High School teacher Kory Kay received $2000 for a system to track students’ physical health. Brief reports were presented by the building administrators. Ms. Sarah McIntyre, Principal of Malad Elementary School noted that teachers Laurie Richins and Jean Schwartz are retiring. All-day kindergarten will be option next year.
Mr. Robert Hannah, Principal of Malad Middle School, thanked parents who had shown teachers how much they are appreciated during Teacher Appreciation Week. He reported that Foster Garrett, the Malad Middle and High School band and chorus teacher, had received a $15,000 grant from the Idaho Rural Arts program of the Idaho Commission on the Arts; $3000 of the grant will go to the music program at Malad Elementary School. The Middle School track students did very well at the District competition with the students bringing home 66 medals. Mr. Michael Corbett asked Foster Garrett to report on the results of District and State Music Competition. Individual District honors were previously reported in the Idaho Enterprise. The students who qualified for State received the following awards: Lindi Young placed 11th with a saxophone solo; Savanna Young placed 9th with a clarinet solo; Jaxom Whipple placed 8th with a French horn solo; Madelyn Shaw placed 19th with an alto vocal solo; and Maclaren Garrett placed 9th with a soprano vocal solo. Foster reported that the Malad High School band received an Excellent ranking and both the Malad High School class choir and chamber choir received Superior rankings at District Music Festival. Mr. Corbett explained the changes in this year’s Malad High School graduation plan to make the program run more smoothly. He reported that the ag greenhouse project is underway. Dr. Terri Sorensen reported that approximately 4000 stu-
dents are enrolled in the Idaho Home Learning Academy for next year. Goals for next year include providing better intervention for struggling students and improving teacher training. A short video provided by Mr. Jon Abrams, administrator for Stone Elementary School, demonstrated the hands-on learning in science taking place at the Stone School. On the students’ 24th try, a domino experiment worked perfectly with oversize dominoes falling over, releasing a large ball that fell on an apparatus that made a pencil sharpener operate. Superintendent Abrams reported that 7065 students, which includes IHLA students, are enrolled in Oneida School District. The estimate for replacing the track has risen to $800,000, which will be done with lottery funds. After receiving estimates of $200,000 each for building new baseball and softball fields, the Board is considering remodeling the current softball diamond as it is in a good location and putting the new baseball diamond across the street from the high school. The bathroom remodel at the high school will include some gender neutral bathrooms with stall walls that extend from floor to ceiling. The new bathrooms will require a contractor, not just District maintenance staff. After hearing from Kelly Hill, District Transportation Manager, the Board approved the current bus routes that serve the St. John bench, Gardner Canyon, and Power House as non-transportation zones, as required by the State. The Board approved a 5-year commitment for the District to join the Idaho State health insurance plan, which

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING 9/23 Airport Board Review The airport board spoke to the county about the rebuild of the runway. Construction on the runway began on May 23. The question of change-orders was raised. Some issues with the way that the construction company evaluated the process for grading some areas of the runway will require a change-order to increase the spending in an amount over the original. The amount was suggested to still fall within the price of the original bid. The new estimate was for the building of the ramp is $220K, which would still fall within the total allotted to the project under the grant. Project manager Parker Venable is in discussion with the contractor to reduce the height of the grade and reduce the potential cost. In his opinion, the height of the ramp is calibrated for larger airplane traffic that the Malad airport receives. It was reported that the reduction in height of resurfacing the existing ramp would result in roughly a $100K savings. The grant covers roughly $1,932,000, with the original bid coming in at just above $1 million. The additional expense will add $220K additional cost to the original total. County Attorney Cody Brower recommended that the ability to issue change-orders by included on the agenda for next meeting, and an emergency meeting to allow the additional expense, and/or change the depth of the gravel as a cost-saving measure was be scheduled for May 24 at 1:00 at the courthouse. The airport board also discussed the need to spray weed killer before the paving occurs, in order to prevent any intrusion into the surface by weeds and alfalfa. The cost for this maintenance
falls within the grant total as well. The issue of parking at the airport in front of the pilot’s lounge was raised. The Crisis Center requested a clarification of the meets and bounds between the two facilities. Airport Lease Amendment Rob Stokes originally signed a lease under his name, however, the bank is requesting that the lease be signed under the Golden Spike Aviation company name. The lease will also be amended to reflect a slightly different square footage. The amended lease was signed by the commissioners after a motion to do so passed. Soil and Water Conservation Budget Request The SWCB made its annual request for matching funds from the county to aid in outreach to schools and other community projects. The funds are routinely supplied to the SWCB, most recently at the $15K level. The state matches between 2-1 and 1.5 to one of the county’s contribution. Last year, the state contributed around $20K to the SWCB, and the city contributed $1,500. The commission approved a motion to approve the $15K funding request for the SWCB. The Chairman stressed that PILT funding is largely responsible for the ability of the county to fund such programs, and were the PILT funding to be for some reason unavailable, the funding would have to be reconsidered. SWCB also reported that it will be funding two scholarships to the high school for this year. Canvass of the May 17 Election Results The results of the recent May 17 Primary and supplemental levy election were canvassed and approved by the commission. Lon Colton reported that the
provisional numbers— published as an insert in last week’s Enterprise— differed slightly from the final numbers as a result of some of the technical tabulation issues, but did not affect any outcomes. Numbers from election night are always provisional, until they have been verified by the final canvassing process. Enterprise Visitors Guide The commission approved the placement of a county map, accompanied by a list of county officers, for inclusion into the Malad Visitor’s Guide. The Guide is an overview and welcome to the Malad valley, promoting local businesses, recreational activities, and services. The Visitor Guide is included in the May 26 edition of the Enterprise. National Level Exercise 2022 —Dan Williams Dan Williams reported on the upcoming Hazard Mitigation meeting, which will be held at the Firehouse on May 26 at 6:30 to finish the county’s hazard mitigation plan. The completed plan will allow the county to qualify for a range of FEMA funds after it goes into effect. Williams requested one of the commissioners attend a national level emergency preparedness exercise with him in June. The commissioners determined to see whether they could work the meeting into their schedules. The forest service is scheduled to speak with the commission and Dan Williams in anticipation of the upcoming fire season. Holiday Policy The subject of the county’s current halfdays for Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve was discussed. The idea of potentially using those half-days the create a day off for Juneteenth, which this year will fall on June 20. Juneteenth
is a recently nationalized holiday that commemorates the end of slavery. The courthouse staff suggested that they were interested in such a trade of days. The current half days are historically the result of the observation of Pioneer Day, which was formerly a county holiday in Oneida County. The county attorney’s office, clerk’s office, and Road and Bridge were in favor of the change. The Sheriff’s office is not affected by the change. A motion to change the county holiday policy to remove Juneteenth as a holiday and eliminate the half day holidays on Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas Eve. Commissioner Christophersen voted against the motion on the grounds of preserving the current half days. The motion was approved 2-1. A resolution to change the policy will be drafted by Cody Brower. ITD Agreement An agreement between the Idaho Transportation Department and Oneida County was recently updated. The updates essentially ask IDT to acquire encroachment permits and repair any culverts or roadways which become damaged in the process of construction. The project, A023 (471), incvolves landslide mitigation near the Devil Creek reservoir. The agreement in its final form was approved and signed by the commission. Resolution for Fees: Road and Bridge Road and Bridge spoke to the commission about the Fee Schedule for Road and Bridge, as well as the Noxious Weed Dept. The new fee schedule will go into effect on May 23. Lisa Baker reported that the Road and Bridge Dept has seen a major uptick in requests for approach permits, especially coming off of major collector roads. The number

of subdivisions currently in various stages of construction is the major contributor to the issue. Fees are being implemented in order to offset the increasing amount of time and man-hours the county has experienced as a result of the increased number of driveway permits. The fees will be used to support the work of the department. A refundable deposit for the driveway inspection process was also discussed as a security during the time of issuing permits and verifying the driveway construction meets county requirements. The resolution lays out the permit fees for a number of aspects of road and approach construction. Subdivision Fees: Planning and Zoning Review Letters ($200); Preliminary Plat Review (payable with Plat Submittal--$400); Improvement Drawing Review ($100); Final Plat Review (Payable with final plat submittal--$200); Construction Phase (Payable at Preconstruction meeting--$400); Inspection and Testing (based on LHJ estimate).

The fees for weed permits and signs were also discussed. As of May 23, the new fee schedule for the Noxious weed department will be: $10 yearly application fee; $50/per physical sign; $65/yearly application fee (does not cover cost of chemicals). Both of the resolutions were approved. Ambulance: State Grant Application, letter of support The county was asked for a letter of support for the ambulance district, in furtherance of a state EMS grant application to acquire new equipment and support funding. A motion to draft and sign a letter was approved, and the letter was signed by the commissioners. The letter will allow the ambulance district to apply for more funding through the grant than they had originally planned. Road and Bridge: Land Swap/Road improvement The county was approached about a land swap arrangement to provide an easement to the county for improvements to a rural road. Bret Leyshon was interested in deeding land to the county in order to create a safer access road through the property.

Let’s talk about being healthy. Can frozen foods be healthy? The short answer is YES, they can be! There are so many healthy freezer options out there designed to help you eat healthy in a pinch, and that can be when you have been outside working in the garden and are too tired to cook! Here are a few fun freezer food and meals to try: 1, Protein bowls. A few good brands to try include Healthy Choice, Real Good and Smart Made. With any frozen meal watch the sodium levels. Keep the sodium level amount under 250 milligrams per serving. 2. Dark chocolate covered fruit. Good for a fun sweet treat after dinner. They are full of fiber from fruit and contain antioxidants from the dark chocolate. Tru Fru is a great brand to try. 3. Steam-in-the-bag-veggies. After you have steamed them open up and toss in some whole grain pasta. 4. High protein breakfast. Prevent mid-morning crash by stocking up on some frozen breakfast. Protein waffles, breakfast burritos or egg sandwiches. Good brands to try are Kodiak Cakes, Amy’s or Real Good. Give it a try when you are too tired to cook but know you should eat healthy! When you try the attached recipe add frozen veggies to make it easier!

Not recommended for parents and kids By Dotty Thorpe Evanson The Girls got together last week. There were five of us. We have been friends for over 50 years. We all have grandkids, some have great-grandkids, but when we are together we think we are young. We are all Apple Phone people except one. She has an android, and something got into that phone. It started saying whatever it was thinking. I use “thinking” loosely. We had no clue how to fix this problem, after all we are senior citizens, whose DNA is not wired for technology. Our brains developed under Andy Griffiths’ tutelage, not Mind Craft. We ignore humans who talk without thinking. Eventually, they stop. They are not as irritating as a jabbering phone. It never stops. We couldn’t shut it down. We were helpless. Our grandchildren, who could have solved the problem were not within 50 miles. Someone suggested we call the service provider. We did, with one of the Apple phones. After a few transfers and elevator music, we
got a human, one who had been trained in customer service. She knew all about “don’t tick the customer off,” and probably had a PhD in counseling. Android User (AU): “My phone will not stop talking. I cannot power it off. It is driving me crazy!” Positive Person (PP): “We will get you taken care of in a matter of minutes. I just need to get some information before we work on your problem. What is your pin number?” AU: “My what? (Said with a little more force than PP expected.) I can give you my phone number, my birthday, my address. I don’t have a clue what my pin number is.” AU is rubbing her face and running her hands through her hair, while the chatty phone continues to chat. PP: “That’s alright, let’s keep working to get this problem solved. Just give me two minutes and I’ll be right back on the line to help you. Be sure you stay on the line.” I think PP had to get special permission to bypass the pin number. PP is pretty smart, she knew not

to press the pin number issue. At exactly the two-minute mark, she is back on. PP: “OK, can you double tap on settings?” AU tried, but her double tap was more a double punch and settings was not opening. AU: “It is not working. The phone is still talking.” This went on for more than a few minutes. You get the idea. After a while the punches actually became taps, thanks to the soothing PP who kept telling AU how smart she was. The phone responded. AU navigated through a whole string of buttons and found “talkback.” After a click, there was blessed silence, except for the perky PP who was truly elated, “You have done exactly what was needed to solve your problem.” I’m thinking, “Just don’t ask her to do it again.” Unlike the phone, I did not vocalize my thoughts. For once in my life, I’m smarter than a smart phone. I know when to keep quiet. It’s a good life when there is no backtalk!

Third Graders get historic tour of Malad City On Wednesday, May 18th, the third-grade classes from Malad Elementary went on a field trip designed to teach them the history of Malad. The field trip was planned by Melanie Coleman and Hailey Sweeten. Luke Waldrom came to give the students a tour. The students started out by taking a walk through town on their way to some historical sights. The third graders split up by class and each class went to a different location to start. Each class went to the Malad Pioneer Museum, the Malad City Office, and the Court House. At the museum the students were taught by Dotty Evanson about historical buildings in Malad and they even got to look at pictures of some of the oldest structures in the community, both buildings still standing and some that have been torn down. Next the students got to go on a small scavenger hunt through the museum looking for different artifacts. They had a hand out they would circle the pictures on once they found each item listed. The children had a great time looking through the history of the town and trying to be
the first to find all their pictures. Next the students stopped at the Malad City Office where Mayor Joan Hawkins taught them about the roles of the city council and what takes place during a city council meeting. The children got to sit in the actual seats that the members of the city council would sit in and got to play the role of each member. The students who were not sitting in as a member of the council got to play the role of the concerned citizen of Malad and bring in an idea about something that could benefit Malad. The students loved getting a chance to “make decisions” for the community and they learned a lot about what actually takes place during city council meetings. The next stop on their tour was at the Oneida County Court House where Lacey Clark showed the students around the historic building, including the court room. Here the students got to go in and sit in the chairs that are actually used during a court case. Afterwards the students went down to the dispatch area of the courthouse. They got to talk with Dispatch about
what their job is like and ask them questions. The students favorite part of the courthouse tour was getting to go and see the holding cells and get to go inside them. After going to those three locations, the students went on another tour that was directed by Luke Waldron. Mr. Waldron took the children around Malad and talked about the history and what buildings and businesses used to be a part of the community. The children also got the opportunity to go into Evans Co-o and look at the old bank and other historic parts of the building. To finish off this busy day the students went to the park and ate their lunch then played on the playground. They followed this up with a trip to theOneida County Library where they got to learn about the summer reading program that is offered there. After hearing about the
Malad Third Graders take a filed trip to the courthouse
amazing reading program, students were taught about bugs and then made a headband that had a ladybug on it. The students got to wear these headbands as they walked about to the Elementary school at the end of the trip. The Third Grade teachers are Brent Grote, Leisa Lamb, and Natalie Reiss.

STATE CHAMPS!
Lumberjacks from Saint Maries High School. The sole run of the game was awarded to Malad in the first inning. Pickett got a single line drive to center field to get on first base. Oglesbee followed with a sacrifice bunt. As Pickett took off from first base, she rounded second and slid into third as the ball came in from the Lumberjack’s pitcher. Saint Maries third baseman missed the catch and Pickett capitalized on the error to run in the one and only score for Malad. Malad’s pitcher, Peterson held off the Lumberjack’s hitting over the seven inning game. The hurler faced twenty-two at bats, throwing ninety-two pitches in the game, seventy-two of those pitches turned strikes, ultimately striking out fourteen of her opponents without a single error or walk. The defense was once again honed in on connecting with first base, getting another three outs as they threw the ball to Horlsey. The team’s solid teamwork and defense kept their opponents scoreless, allowing only a single base over the seven innings to win the game, 1 to 0. As the Lady Dragons prepared for the championship game, they faced a new challenge before they ever hit the field. Due to pouring rain, the game had to be moved, causing a delay to the game and another hour bus ride to the new venue in Lewiston. The girls managed to bring back their focus and energy as they opened up the game against the West Jefferson Panthers. West Jefferson considered this game to be a little unfinished business as they played and lossed to Malad in the championship round, just the year before. Malad and West Jefferson matched up on the field twice during the regular season, Malad taking the victory each time with a score of 5 to 2 and 4 to1. The MHS softball team proved ready to take on the game and leave everything out on the field. The final game featured stellar hitting, pitching and defense from players across the field. The coaching and support from the dugout kept the energy high to lead the girls not only to victory, but to score the most runs of all their tournament games. The team has focused on getting good hits and scoring runs early in the game. Their tried and true approach, once again, gave them an overwhelming lead as they scored six runs in the opening inning. Oglesbee, first on base after hitting a fly ball to right fielder on a full count, scored as Horsley was put out at first base. Peterson, who had advanced to third on Oglebee’s score, ran in a

Summers took off for home, beating the ball as the Huskies third baseman sailed it over to the catcher and tallying up the Dragon’s 9th run of the game. With Venable now on third, Riglee Peterson hit a sacrifice fly out to right field to bat in Venable for the final run of the game, bringing the end score, 10 to 0. While the offense was slow getting off the ground against North Fremont, Malad’s defense was as solid as ever. The opening inning featured three outs on three hits, caught by Oglesbee at second, then a quick grab by Peterson on the pitching mound and then a caught fly ball by Beth McClain on third base. Throughout the game, the team snagged four more fly balls for outs. Peterson, struck out six opponents and allowed only two hits over the five innings. The Dragon’s victory advanced them to their second game of the tournament against the New Plymouth Pilgrims who had defeated Melba the previous day. The Pilgrims defense was well played, making Malad work for each of the three runs they had at the end of the game. Malad took a quick lead, scoring two runs in the first inning. After getting walked on base, Oglesbee ran the bases when Green hit a sly bunt that allowed the first score. After Horsley was walked on a count of four to two, Peterson hit a ground ball to shortstop to bat in Green to give them a two to zero lead over New Plymouth. The Lady Dragons didn’t score again until the sixth inning when Peterson hit a triple fly ball to right field and managed to round third base and score as the Pilgrim’s center field missed the catch from the outfield. Horsley proved up to the crucial task of covering first base as she worked to put out eight of her opponents, getting the assist from teammates Peterson, McClain, Oglesbee and Green, while also grabbing two balls hit into first base territory. Horsley ended the game with a double play. With one on first, the Pilgrim batter took a swinging strike, then nicked a foul ball and managed a hit on the next pitch. Horsley quickly reached out to catch the ball off a hard line hit toward first base for the second out and then tagged the base to put the runner on first out to finish the count and claim the victory over the Pilgrims, 3-2. After their face off against New Plymouth, the Lady Dragons came up against what many considered their toughest game of the tournament as they played the

second run as Green had a hit to left field. Green rounded the bases for a third run when Adley Kimberling was up to bat and hit another fly ball to right field. Two plays later as Goddard hit again to the outfield, Kimberling ran passed third base to home plate for Malad’s fourth run. With Willie on third base, Combs hit a powerful triple to center field to get Willie another score. The Panthers couldn’t keep up with Combs as she raced around the bases to pull in a final run for the Dragons. In the top of the second inning, West Jefferson managed to get three players on base but a quick throw from pitcher Peterson to catcher Pickett got the out at home to stop the run. Unfortunately, the Panthers managed two runs on the plays to follow, to bring the score to Malad 6, West Jefferson 3. Malad responded to the scores with a great catch and put out by shortstop Green, followed by a line out by second baseman Oglesbee. Their spot on defense kept the Panthers from building momentum and racking up the runs and gave the Dragons the opportunity they needed to build their lead. The Lady Dragons hitting game went up another level as Peterson, Horsley and Green followed one another with double hits to bat in two more runs. Green scored
as Willie followed with a single to shortstop to bring in three runs for the second inning. The next innings proved to be a battle between two great defenses- both teams with flawless defense, committing zero errors. After several innings, Malad’s players and coaches were beginning to anticipate the Panther’s hitting. In the top of the fourth inning with one out to go, the coaches called centerfielder Combs to come in just a few steps. On the very next pitch, West Jefferson hit a fly ball straight to center field and into Comb’s glove to close the count and put Malad up to bat. Peterson broke the scoreless streak as she blew a triple fly ball to center field to bat in Oglesbee for another Malad run. On the next play, Peterson scored as Horsley hit a line drive to the outfield. As Green was up to bat next, Horsley took advantage of West Jefferson’s wild pitch to advance to third base. On the next pitch, Green drove the ball to center field to bat in Horsley for Malad’s final score of the game. Malad allowed a last run for the West Jefferson Panther’s in the top of the final inning as the first base runner advanced around the bases on their opponent’s only big hit of the game. Peterson reacted to the score by striking out her final batter to end the game and clench the

victory for the Malad Lady Dragons. The moment after that final pitch, the missed swing and closing catch brought cheers and screams of triumph from the players, the coaches and the crowd. After a season of hard work and dedication, the team’s efforts had taken them to that final moment of ultimate victory. All season long, Coach Schow had pushed her team to play like each game was their toughest matchup. Throughout the games, there were some frustrating moments when they weren’t hitting the gaps as they would have liked or when their opponents defense matched them with great line drive catches or pop fly snags. In the end, each game did honestly call on them to give their greatest effort and leave it all on the
field. Both players and coaches spoke of what an incredible season it has been for the team and how through the fun times and hard times, they have come together to accomplish something truly great. The team ends the season with a combined total of 308 hits, 102 of those hits being multiples, including 22 home runs for a total of 298 runs. Pitchers Peterson, Combs and Kaysha Beck threw a combined total of 1602 pitches in 26 games, allowing only 54 runs and striking out 166 opponents. While the coaches, players and fans already look to an exciting upcoming season, they are rightly basking in the glory of such a win and being the back to back 2A State Softball Champions.

Dragons fight their way to a third place trophy at 2A Idaho State Baseball Tournament
After fighting to earn the 2A Fifth District District Baseball Championship, the Malad High School Baseball team headed off to Nampa to participate in the 2022 2A Idaho State Baseball Tournament. The tournament was held Thursday, May 19th through Saturday, May 21st. It was played at Nampa Christian High School. The Dragons played three games in the tournament and ended on a win, claiming the Third place trophy after defeating Melba. The boys played and represented Malad High School well during their tournament. The Dragons started off the tournament by facing St. Maries. Pitching well for the Dragons was #22, Stetson Higley, with # 6, Ryan Hubbard coming in, pitching strong, to finish the game. Senior Vincent Evans led the Dragons in hits during the game with St. Maries with two hits in two at bats. The Dragons pulled off the win against St. Maries 3 to 2. Evans was named idahosports.com Player of the Game. Friday the Dragons battled a giant as they took on the top seeded
team in the tournament. Nampa Christian was not only the top ranked team in 2A, they were also on their home field. The Dragons did not let that intimidate them. They went to work and fought hard, scoring against Nampa Christian. They would end this game by scoring against this team, scoring against the pitcher they faced in the Championship game in 2021, only then they could not get a run. Malad lost 9 3. Brady Showell and Timmy Jensen pitched well for the Dragons. In the sixth inning Malad scored three runs. Kyler Horsley had an RBI double to lead the run scoring. The Dragons were the only team in the whole tournament to score on Nampa Christian breaking their streak for shut out games. The game with Nampa Christian came down to three plays, according to Coach Bo Clark. Without those plays, this game could very easily have gone the other way. The Dragons played on Saturday for the Third Place trophy. The Dragons played against Melba. Early on in the game,
After a hard fought season, the Dragons take home the 3rd place State trophy
the Dragons scored a run. This would be the only run of the game. Jaden Ward drew the walk and ended up making it all the way around the bases and scored the Dragons only run of the game. There were several times that there were runners in scoring position but were unable to get all the way home. Kyler Horsley hit a dou-
ble against Melba. While the hits were scarce in this battle for the trophy, Malad played great defense, according to Coach Clark. Gaiden Combs also caught well, doing a good job with his pitch calling in this nail-biter of a game. Player of the game was awarded by idahosports. com to Braylin Tripp. The Dragons were
able to win their final game 1-0 and take home the third place trophy for their school. Throughout this season the Dragons were led by three seniors: Centerfielder Bridger Bastian, #3, Shortstop Kyler Horsley, #13, and First Baseman Vincent Evans, #2. These boys were a big part of the Dragons making it back
to State for another year. Coach Bo Clark said “Even when the boys were down in that game against Nampa Christian they never gave up, they kept fighting and made them earn the win. They never let up on them even when they were down. These boys improved so much throughout the season.”
