A Patriotic Fourth in the Valley Oneida County celebrates Our Country with variety of community events As it always does, Malad put together a fun-filled weekend of events to celebrate the 4th of July weekend. The Valley was filled with many travelers this past week and weekend to participate in annual activities to celebrate America. July 2 The kids started off the weekend's events on July 2 with the Kids' Parade. Following its typical route along Main Street from the Drive Inn and then down Bannock to the Malad City Park, kids and parents packed the street on bikes, ATVs, and other recreational vehicles. Their vehicles were decked out in Fourth of July decorations and American flags to commemorate the holiday. Activities at the park began with the Snake River New Horizons Band who performed at the Amphitheater before the Preliminaries for Malad's Got Talent. The group performed covers of popular songs including Sweet Caroline, Brown Eyed Girl, a medley of Beatles songs, and many others. The Malad's Got Talent Preliminaries included many great talents with many singers, dancers and musicians, along with a drummer, and even a Color Guard Routine. Judges for the event included Tami Smith, Kevin Jeppesen, and Christie Oja. They scored participants in several categories to determine which five from each age group would advance to the final on Monday the Fourth. At the conclusion of Malad's Got Talent opening night, the crowd moved to Bannock Street in front of City Hall to enjoy music from the Rough Stock band. Band members are Harry Sherman, Jimi James Schaub, Elly Peterson, Trent Porter, and Terry Morris.

NEWS IN BRIEF Deadly parade shooting in Illinois
A mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois left seven dead and shocked the generally safe Chicago suburb over the Fourth of July holiday. The suspect, who fired at least 70 rounds from a rifle, fled the scene and was later apprehended by police. At least 39 people were hospitalized with various injuries, some of them related to the panicked stampede which occurred in the immediate aftermath. Countless lives were saved by the quick action of law enforcement and paramedics, but far too many were lost by the actions of a killer, whose motivations are as yet unknown.
Oil drops to under $100 a barrel
For the first time since April, the price of crude oil sunk below the benchmark $100/barrel mark, losing 10% of its price over the last week. Gas prices across the country have also started to see a slight decline in many areas to a new national average of $4.80/gallon, though not yet in Idaho, where average prices generally outpace the national average. Most analysts predict that the price of fuel oil and gasoline will stay fairly consistent until the fall.
Sweden and Finland on track for NATO membership
In a historic move, NATO announced that the two countries had accepted NATO’s invitation to join the organization, extended at last week’s summit in Madrid. The move by the two, which they have long been reticent about, was spurred by Russia’s aggressive invasion of Ukraine. Russia, predictably, denounced the move. The membership of Sweden and Finland would bring the total number of NATO powers to 32.
Jazz trade Rudy Gobert to Minnesota
Fireworks light up the Fairgrounds for the Fourth
They performed a fun mix of country music perfect for singing and dancing along. The Street Dance brought out many community members excited to enjoy the music and shake a leg. Swing dancing, line dancing, and even a Conga line highlighted the evening. July 4
The Fourth of July Celebration started early with the Cannonade, the Fun Run, and the Pancake Breakfast. Those in the Malad area were awoken to the six o'clock cannons that announce the beginning of festivities in the Valley. Next, members of the community had the opportunity to join
in the Fun Run held by the Malad Distinguished Young Women's program. The Independence Day Parade was filled with floats showcasing this year's theme: "There's No Place A PATRIOTIC FOURTH IN THE VALLEY On Page 2
30- year- old Rudy Gobert, who joined the Jazz nine years ago, has been traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a deal for four future first round draft picks (2023, 2025, 2027, 2029) and a number of role players. The Jazz are hoping to build a younger roster around Donovan Mitchell, and follows the trade of Royce O’Neale to the Nets. Players heading to the Jazz are Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Leandro Bolmaro, and Walker Kessler.
Volunteers of the Year Award: Dotty Evanson, Roxanne Albretsen, and Carla Williams This year’s Volunteers of the Year were the force behind preserving the historic Co-op Building as the landmark of downtown Malad. The restoration of the Coop has a long way to go before many dreams and aspirations for the building are realized, but without Dotty Evanson, Roxanne Albretsen, and Carla Williams, the restoration of the Co-op likely would have
never begun. Dotty Thorpe Evanson’s passion for preserving the Co-op made her volunteer to be the Chair of the Coop Restoration Committee. She was able to organize troops of Malad volunteers to clean out decades of old merchandise and trash from the building’s three levels. Her right-hand helpers were her sister Roxanne Thorpe Albretsen and her friend
Carla Goddard Williams. These three women made possible the vision of turning the oldest department store in the state of Idaho into future City Offices, a community meeting room, maybe an art gallery, and commercial space. Already the building has started to be used for such events as the Oneida Quilters annual show and Art on Main. Dotty Evanson was born
and raised in Malad and has lived here her entire life except when at BYU, where she met her future husband Brent, and when she served with Brent when he was the Mission President for the Macon Georgia Mission. She taught elementary school for many years until she became the principal VOLUNTEERS OF THE YEAR AWARDS On Page 9

Tom Hanks disappointed by lack of real ‘Buzz’ in ‘Lightyear’
The decision to hire Chris Evans, rather than Tim Allen, to voice the character of Buzz Lightyear in the Pixar animated film “Lightyear” was not celebrated by Tom Hanks (Woody), who regretted not being able to go “head-to-head” with Allen in the film. The film is not a continuation of the Toy Story storyline, but rather a film about the character of Buzz Lightyear (not the toy) himself, which potentially explains the descision to someone.

Like Home". Many floats focused on popular locations in Malad like Boot Lane, popular local activities such as camping, and popular local legends like Bigfoot. Hundreds of excited candy-seekers and well-wishers lined the streets as the parade wound its way through town, stopping at the Veterans Memorial to honor the flag and those who had lost their lives in its service. This year’s Grand Marshals were Gary and Sherma Shepherd. The Honored Pioneer was Janice Goddard. Bill Neal was named the Honored Veteran. Roxanne Albretson, Dotty Evanson, and Carla Williams were names the Volunteers of the Year. The Commissioner’s Award went to Hess Lumber’s Bigfoot float. Hess Pumice’s “Country Roads Take me Home” float won the Sweepstakes. Edith’s Collective won the Mayor’s Award. Daisy Hollow won the Judge’s Prize. Throughout the busy weekend, the Malad City Park hosted a variety of performers, vendors, and activities. Shoot Out This year’s shootout took a slightly different form than usual, as Jeff Richins and Brian Jeppsen opted not to shoot one another in the typical old west fashion. Richins explained that in light of recent gun violence and other events that it would be appropriate to focus on a shared belief in patriotism. Once the “sheriff” and the “outlaw” discovered they were both at heart patriots, they led the crowd in a chorus of “Proud to be an American.” Kids Races At the Malad City Park this year the annual Kids’ Races were held. There were several dif-
ferent divisions based from crawlers to 13 year olds. People gathered in a crowd to watch children run and cheered them on. There were many children who participated in the races and many family members there to support. After each racer was finished running, they received a popsicle for their participation. The winners in each age group received a gold dollar. Due to the hectic nature of the event, these results are not entirely complete. First place winners: 0-1 Aurora Ward; 1 year old (girl) Courtlyn Kent, (boy) Everett Walker; 2 year old Gwen Palmer, Jett Neal; 3 year old Indie Ray Jensen, Xavier Davis; 4 year old Kendyl Ward; 5 year old Briar Palmer, Ridge Wise; 6 year old Liberty Charles, Beckham Hess; 7 year old Brynlee Ketchell, Colton Van Damme; 8 year old Sandy McKinney, Asher Hess; 9 year old Kollins Vaughan, Declan Summers; 10 year old Maisy Geddes, Asher Morriss; 11 year old Aleah Seamons, Padden Neilson; 12 year old Mariah Redmond, Nolan Haskett. Leap Frog The Annual Leap Frog Competition took place at the City Park. The winner of the contest received the traveling frog statue that the winner will return next year. It was a great race and they had a lot of great competitors. One team pulled ahead quickly. The winners of the race were Tayson Davis, Braylin Tripp, and Jace Williams. The three boys came together after the race to celebrate and lift the trophy for everyone to see. Tug of War For this year's tug of war competition, there were two divisions. There was a children’s division and an Adult division. For the children’s division the winners

The water hockey, which was played on a soaked tarp with field haockey sticks, was used as a fundraiser by the wrestling team to help their teammate Dylan Moss. Dylan was recently in a dirt biking accident and his teammates wanted to raise money to help him and his family with medical bills. Kickball The Kickball Tournament brought teams of all ages to compete for the title. Those above 14 participated in the older division while the kids had their own game. Two young adult teams competed first, then two adult teams. The kids’ game was boys versus girls. It was a relaxed, fun event as scores were not kept officially. Spectators enjoyed the friendly competition and cheered on their friends and family.
Grand Marshals Gary and Sherma Shepherd
Softball There were two softball games one including ages 14 and up and then one for those aged 16 and older. It was a tough competition with both teams hitting and fielding well. There was a short timeout in the second game due to a disagreement with a call on the field. To settle the controversy, the two teams selected one player to participate in a short race. The second game ended with an exciting double play with a line out to the pitcher and a throw to first to get the player that was leading off. Overall, it was a great event to show Malad’s competitive spirit. Home Run Derby The Home Run Derby was held at the Malad City Park youth baseball field. Bridger Bastian gave each participant 10 pitches to try and hit
over the fence. Community members joined in the fun hitting home runs and cheering on the hitters. Brig Jones was the winner of the Home Run Derby with a total of eight home runs. He also boasted the farthest hit out of all the participants. Other Events The finale for Malad’s Got Talent brought many talented youth and adults to the stage to perform once again. The winners for the competition will be listed in a separate article. At the end of Malad’s Got Talent, the winners of the various raffles were drawn and announced. The winner of the 50/50 Raffle by the Girls Basketball team was Brad Horsley. For the Firemen's Raffle, A PATRIOTIC FOURTH IN THE VALLEY On Page 3

“The Shame of Tombstone” Melodrama Plays during the Fourth Over the Fourth of July Weekend, the Iron Door Playhouse put on Tim Kelly’s melodrama “The Shame of Tombstone” as a traditional element of the Fourth of July celebration. The play, held in the relatively cooler environs of the historic playhouse, celebrated the history of the melodrama in the history of the West. The play details the plight of Amanda Goodsort (Ada Campbell), “the most respected woman in Tombstone,” who is caught in an attempted blackmail by Judge Mortimer Harshley (Chris White) as a result of her sideC Y

line as the “Masked Canary,” famed songstress of the town’s dance hall. Peachy Jamm (Kaleigh Worrell), a dance hall girl, has teamed up with the Judge to extort Goodsort into marriage in exchange for not revealing her scandalous secret. As is typical of melodrama, the play involved a high degree of audience participation, which the crowd booing the villain and cheering the hero at appropriate turns. Distressed damsels such as Fifi (Jaylyn Green) and Little Victoria (Nicole White) were gasped for in turn, while heroes such as Lieutenant Pete Bogg
(Ty Price), Lonely Wolf (William Charles), Ole Timer (Brian Jeppsen), and his sidekick, Sidekick (Mordecai Charles). Flora Coutland was played by Shannon Worell, Unknown Woman was played by Breanna Charles, and Wing Tip, the ancient Chinese philosopher, was played by Jeff Richins. The play was a hit with the audience, and made for another melodramatic Fourth. Jeff Richins directed, Laurie Richins ran sound and lights, Kay Caldwell consulted on the sets, and the backstage help included Bentley Jones and Alex White.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Calling on all Oneida Republicans! Voice Your Vote! 1. Do you know who your Republican Precinct Chairperson is? 2. Are you aware of just how powerful this position is? Voting Precinct Chairs are the only ones, for the most part, who vote how and who represents us within the OneidaCounty Republican Central Committee. They even select who we send to Twin Falls to represent the party and create the Republican Party Platform. Believe me, they hold a lot of power! On this July 14th16th in Twin Falls, Idaho, Oneida County Republicans will send delegates, who have been selected by the
5
The Idaho Enterprise
chairpeople, to represent your political ideals and beliefs. That's what delegates do, right, represent someone else with their attendance at the designated meeting? It was my conclusion from attending the last GOP meeting in Malad, that we have delegates who wish to "vote their own conscience" and support their own beliefs, even if those beliefs run against the interests of the Republican party. In fact, some of these delegates are actively campaigning for Ammon Bundy, who is running against the Republican Party! If you would like our delegates to support and celebrate conservative values and support our selected Republican candidates, then please contact
your precinct chairperson and ask them, in turn, to contact the delegates from Oneida County and pass along to them how you wish to be represented. I also encourage you to ask who they have selected to represent you in Boise, you might be surprised! If you do not know the name of your precinct voting chair, contact the Chairman of the Oneida County Republicans. Also, if you are interested in uniting and supporting the Republican Party in Oneida County, come to the July 20th meeting of your party at the Malad Library. Put a Voice to your vote!

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017) Members of the Association of Idaho Cities (AIC) elected Malad Council President Tom Jenkins as Third Vice President for 2017-18. Jenkins was elected and took the oath of office on June 22 during the 70th AIC Annual Conference in Boise where over 400 delegates representing cities from around the state were in attendance. On July 7, 2017, Ireland Bank will celebrate 125 years as Idaho's oldest chartered bank. Late in 1892, on December 1, J.N. Ireland & Company Bankers, was incorporated by some of the progressive leaders in Oneida County who had faith in the new community. The incorporators were David L. Evans, farmer and merchant; Joseph N. Ireland, farmer and stockman; Lorenzo L. Evans, farmer and stockman; William G. Jenkins, merchant and Drew W. Standrod farmer, attorney and later judge of the Fifth Judicial District of the State of Idaho. It is the oldest state-chartered bank in Idaho. A birthday celebration for Joan Potts will be held at the Malad 2nd/4th/5th Ward building to celebrate her 90th birthday, on Saturday July 8, 2017. Joan Williams Potts was born in Samaria, Idaho on July 7, 1927 to Oliver and Esther Williams. She had one sister, Ruth (Chugg), who was seven years older. Oliver was a farmer, a County Commissioner, and a School Trustee. In 2016, Joan was able to fulfill a life-long dream. She travelled to Wales with her daughter, JoDel, and three of her grandchildren, Nichole, Allen and Mariann. A guide helped them find the church her grandparents were married in. It was a beautiful place! they were able to go in the church and view records. There, in that little church, were the wedding documents for her grandparents signed in their own hand! 10 YEARS AGO (2012) Crews responded June 26 to a wildfire about two miles north of Malad along the frontage road, which aligns northbound I-15. The fire started along the county roadway and quickly moved onto private land and spread onto government land, with no structures threatened. The fire charred 351 acres of land. Oneida County is saying goodbye to Marc Porter, who has been the senior conservation officer assigned to Oneida County for the past nine and one-half years. Taking the place of Porter, covering all of Oneida County and a portion of Franklin County, is
Nathan Stohosky, who has worked as the senior conservation officer for Grace for the past seven years. During an emergency meeting of the Oneida County Commissioners on June 29, they adopted Resolution No, 2012-0604 that declares a ban on the use of fireworks within Oneida County but outside the Malad City limits. The emergency measure was taken due to the extremely high fire danger facing the county at this time. The eighth annual Malad Valley Welsh Festival was deemed a success by the organizers, participants and those who just came to visit! From attendees learning about their Welsh heritage to the music that filled the air at the Festival, you may have thought you were actually in Wales. The historic Malad Presbyterian Church as the hosting site for the conclusion of the Festival. 15 YEARS AGO (2007) The “Welcome to Malad: Where Idaho Begins” sign got a needed facelift. The new sign is vinyl laminated on aluminum sheeting. The sign was made by THE SIGN HUB. Aside from some fresh coloring, the city’s website has been added to the bottom left corner, and “Home of the Welsh Festival” is in the bottom right. The Oneida County Commissioners passed a declaration of drought emergency. The resolution that followed recognizes that Oneida County is largely an agriculturally based county, with a significant number of its citizens deriving their livelihoods either in or from agriculturally related activities. The First Presbyterian Church of Malad got some long distance help last week. Seven teenagers from Boise, their leaders and chaperon spent Friday and Saturday cleaning up, painting, weeding, potting flowers, and anything else that needed to be done. Challis J. Sweeten, son of Denver and Lucinda Sweeten, has been called to serve a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Tacoma Washington Mission. Great Performance!! Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise are these Iron Door Players who have two remaining performances of “Finding The Fickle Fortune,” a delightfully scripted musical melodrama that is equally well performed and directed. The cast are: Ty Price, Jentry Friedli, Gene Bullcreek, Casey Steffenhagen, K.S. Lewis, Sara Christiansen, Christina Peterson, Jessie Corbridge, Amy Atkin-
son and Josh Wray. 25 YEARS AGO (1997) A 1997 Ford Ranger pickup, now on display at Marc’s Auto Sales, in Malad, will be the grand prize in next month’s Malad Area chamber of commerce “Last Man Standing Raffle” drawing. Adding to the fun will be Earl Thomas Conley in concert in the fair grounds arena. The famous country/western singer, with eighteen #1 singles to his credit, will bring a little bit of Nashville to Malad, Idaho for a night. The United States Achievement Academy announced that Riley Larkins has been named a United States National Award Winner in Mathematics. Riley, who attends Malad High School, was nominated for this national award by Julie Willie, a teacher at the school. David and Gayla Bastian have a dream, one that they’re working hard to make come true. New owners of the Deep Creek Inn, the couple is planning a Malad Village – a pioneer village built on the edge of the freeway, visible to all passing by, with an open invitation to stop and visit. Carrie Hess and Teri Nieffenegger took a giant step and combined their talents as “Carrie and Teri’s Homespun Delights”. Not only are there consignment items in their store, craft supplies and sewing notions are also available. They have a growing selection of material and quilting supplies. 35 YEARS AGO (1987) The Malad High School Pep Squad would like to announce the addition of a new member – a colorful and fiercely loyal Dragon mascot, well, Dragon mascot uniform that is. The body to fill it has yet to be found. The new mascot uniform made its debut appearance for fans and supporters of Dragon athletics in the 4th of July Parade. Dr. Gerald Goodenough, former Malad physician and surgeon, was among the more than 1,100 individuals awarded advanced degrees recently at the University of Utah’s 118th commencement exercises. The doctor was awarded a Master’s of Science Degree in the field of Public Health and Education. After nearly twenty-six years of greeting customers from behind the desk at Utah Power & Light, Hope Price retired and turned her job over to another, Peggie Dahle of Preston. 45 YEARS AGO (1977) Winning first place in the July 4th Parade was the Hess Pumice Products float, entitled “Ancient Materials for Modern Man.” With a theme of
“Malad City – A Honey of a Place to Bee” the colorful Malad Second Ward float featuring a graceful arching hive, queen bee Laurie Willie, and helpers Heather and Holly Hansen, earned the second place prize. Williams Irrigation Co.’s imaginative pipeline American Flag – “Stars and Pipes Forever” drew judges nod for third place. The newly renovated Malad City swimming pool opened Wednesday morning, but was closed later that afternoon by the State Health Inspector who said that the chlorine count was too low. Forty-two years of Oneida law enforcement was represented in the July Fourth Parade by Grand Marshals John A. “Big Jack” Evans and Arthur T. “Little Arthur” Williams. At ages 84 and 87 respectively, Mr. Evans and Mr. Williams are two of the oldest lawmen in the Idaho Peace Officers Association, and both honorary lifetime members. Mrs. Mae Carter had a special weekend last week when all of her children arrived home for the first time in 15 years. 55 YEARS AGO (1967) Kent Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Karl Smith, Holbrook, has been named the All-around Cowboy for Ricks College for 1966-67. ‘People Who Make Oneida’ – Always generous with his time and talents, Dr. Thomas W. Richards, has contributed much to our community. A native of Malad, Dr. Richards has practiced dentistry here from 1913 until last year. During this period, he found time to devote many hours to his Church, serving as Malad Stake President, in the ward bishopric, as a mission president in the Eastern States, and also on a short-term mission. He worked diligently in the Scouting program, earning that organization’s highest honor, the Silver Beaver Award. Married to Hilda Merrell in August of 1907, Dr. Richards states, “We’re still happy.” They have enjoyed a family of four daughters and a son – Cleopha Probst, Grace Williams, Elna Bischoff, Kathryn Powell and Dr. Melvin M. Richards, also a dentist; 15 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Carl H. Case, Lawrence, Indiana, announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Catherine, to Stanley Karl Jensen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Royal B. Jensen. Pfc. Charles Don Atkinson, who is stationed in the U.S. Army at Brimisen, Germany, has been promoted to specialist fourth class.

Verlin Moon has been named brand inspector for this area. He succeeds LaVern L. Jones, who has been brand inspector here for four years and was employed at Ogden for 17 years in that capacity. 65 YEARS AGO (1957) Thousands of American servicemen stationed in foreign lands will be coming home as a result of a policy announced by President Eisenhower. The withdrawal of all United States ground combat forces from Japan will begin promptly. This group is said to number 30,000 men. The total American force in Japan is made up of some 100,000 men. The remaining 70,000 will be reduced further by June 1958. Herman Miller, Jr., and the following boys left for Valley Forge, Pennsylvania to attend the National Scout Jamboree: Dennis Baker, Don Lee Hess, Michael Madson, Lewis Dredge, Douglas Castleton and Elden Nielsen. Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise is the first group of teachers to be employed in the first building constructed on the present Malad School grounds: R. N. Hill, Edward W. Colton, T. D. Jones, Mabel Waylett, Maggie Jones (now Mrs. Edwin R. Jones), Steven L. Richards, principal (first counselor in the L.D.S. Church Presidency); Esther Evans (the late Mrs. R. B. Davis), John O. Thomas. The two-story brick building, located on the southeast corner of the school
grounds, was erected in 1899 and school was first held there in 1900. The building was used continuously for 52 years and then torn down in 1953 and replaced by the present elementary building. Before construction of the building in 1899, Malad pupils attended school at several different places including the Presbyterian Church, the old opera house, upstairs above the Evans Co-op, the vestry of the old First Ward, in the community’s old log meeting house and at the Reorganized L.D.S. Church. 75 YEARS AGO (1947) One of the oldest buildings in Malad’s business section is being torn down this week. The old frame structure, located on Bannock Street and lastly occupied by the S and H Body Shop, has seen service as a garage, apartment house and saloon. Though its exact age isn’t known, an old Weekly Sun, dated 1874, was found between the walls by workmen removing the building. A new cinder block building will be erected on the site by the Jones Hardware Co. The front part of the building will be used as a display room and the rear as a shop for overhauling machinery, according to B. A. Jones, manager of the Hardware Co. Mr. Jones expects the new building to be completed about September 1.

Volunteers of the Year Award: Dotty Evanson, Roxanne Albretsen, and Carla Williams continued from page one
of Malad Elementary School. Besides her service to over a generation of elementary students and teachers, Dotty served on the Oneida Education Foundation and as Stake Relief Society President and is currently on the Oneida Pioneer Museum Board and is the Co-Chair of the Malad Valley Welsh Festival. She and Brent have four sons (Brett, Brandon, Bo, and Brad) and currently have Brett and his two daughters (Hadley and Elle) with them after the passing of Brett’s wife Shannon.
Roxanne Albretson was born and raised in Malad and has lived here her entire life except when attending cosmetology school. She and her husband Shawn were high school sweethearts, and she has been Shawn’s righthand aide on many of his creative woodworking projects, including the Malad Valley Welsh Festival’s Bard’s Chair. She has served on the Oneida County Hospital Foundation as chair, as secretary of the Oneida County Airport Board, as a Relief Society and Sunday School teacher, and as Secretary/Treasurer and Chair over
vendors for the Malad Valley Welsh Festival. She is the Accounts Payable Administrator for Hess Pumice Products. She and Shawn have three sons (Quade, Chase, and Keeton). Carla Williams also was born and raised in Malad and has lived here for her entire life. She worked for 38 years as the Administrative Assistant for Oneida School District back in the day when the District Office had just three employees. Carla’s bookkeeping and secretarial skills are legendary. Carla has served for 23 years as secretary of the Malad
Women’s Bowling Association and is an avid bowler herself. She has always been one of the top bowlers in the Malad Women’s Association and you see her name often as the highest scratch game or series and very often as the Women’s Association yearly highest scratch average. She chaired Malad’s Junior Miss program the year it won an Idaho State Junior Miss Best Program Award and went with past chairman, Joan Hawkins, to Mobile, Alabama, in 1987 to receive that award. As an accomplished organist, Carla has played
the point that subdivisions are required to have named roads, and that the numbered roads currently in use in the subdivision don’t run in straight East/West or North/South directions, which also means they should be named. Olsen submitted a set of new road names to clarify the situation, but wanted the commission’s counsel on the required steps. The commission suggested that the process might require a public hearing. County Attorney Cody Brower was not present to provide legal advice. Sheriff Jones suggested that the changes would not interfere with the 911 system. Commissioner Christophersen felt that a public hearing was necessary. The commission supported the move to redo the addressing for the subdivision, but requested that Jaime Olsen speak with Cody Brower before moving forward, and holding a public hearing if necessary. Olsen also raised an issue with Hwy 38 addresses, which are inconsistent with the county numbering system. The commission expressed the opinion that those with addresses out of alignment would best be contacted individually. The primary problem is that the numbering doesn’t easily correspond with emergency services information. State Insurance Fund John Witt, a safety consultant with the Idaho State Insurance Fund, met with the commission to discuss the Workers Compensation Policy used by the county. Since 2015, Oneida county has had 28 claims with the SIF, 8 of them being indemnity claims, 17 medical claims, and 3 incident only claims. There is currently one active claim. Witt explained the differences between the various types of claims, ways to most effectively prevent and deal with injuries, and how the county’s incident reporting affects the overall SIF and the county’s role within it. Information was presented about what types of injuries are most common, what parts
of the body generate the largest number of claims, and how those injuries can best be protected against. By years of service, employees with 1-4 years of service have the highest rate of injuries, primarily as a result of lack of experience, though employees with 10-19 years of service tend to have more severe workplace injuries. February and September are the months with the highest number of injuries, and Friday is the day with the highest number. “Violence by another” and “violence by object” were the two most common sources of injury. Since the SIF for Oneida county includes the Sheriff’s Office, most of the “violence by another” claims involve physical altercations during arrests. “Violence by object” includes any machine or materials based incident. Witt explained that the most important elements to reducing claims were to create a safe working environment through awareness and inspection, and to cultivate safe work practices and behaviors among employees. Dianna Dredge of Road and Bridge explained that her office holds weekly safety meetings. Sheriff Jones explained that officers are required to go through yearly training, as well as be familiar with a variety of safety equipment. Witt requested a copy of the county’s safety policy, copies of safety inspections, copies of safety meeting minutes, and any safety plans currently in place, as well as an emergency action plan. These materials will be used to provide information to the SIF underwriters as they evaluate the county’s safety profile. Road and Bridge A request for a lease for grazing on county owned land near the landfill was discussed. The land would be fenced off and keep the area near the M from being encroached upon. It was motioned to explore fair lease pricing for the land and take the issue under further consideration.

The R&B Department approached the commission about the roads through Arbon Valley and Stone for a 129,000 classification on the state map, which would open them to potential state grants for improvements. Currently, the roads are recorded as open to that weight, under a freight permit, but not recorded as such on the state map. The consideration that this might open a freight corridor through the state without a port authority was raised, which would require legal input. The commission determined that RB should pursue an application with the state about adding the roads to the map to see what the state authorities considered necessary as any next step. This would allow freighting of product through the corridor from shipping concerns in the county, and also place the roads under state regulation for the weight limit. Board of Equalization Property evaluation appeal by Ken James was undertaken by the commission. Mr. James explained to the commission that the recent assessment of his property was significantly higher than the original price paid for the land. $97,275 was the recent assessment value of 5 acres on the summit. The original price was many thousands of dollars less. Mr. James indicated that the property was largely hillside land, though there was some discussion about that fact. The property is inspected every five years, though it is supposed to be adjusted to the market every year. When five acres are sold, the property is automatically designated as a residential area, unless used specifically as agricultural. The change from its original agricultural designation to a residential one resulted in an assessment increase, which is correlated to sales in the area of residential areas. Mr. James explained that he had attempted to sell the land at $40,000 and had not had any interest. The total of the original sale worked out to just over $16,000 an acre based
on the sales records. The current average per acre was noted out over $19,000 an acre for similar land. The extent to which the slope of the lot should affect the evaluation was discussed. A neighbor described the lot as sloped enough that levelling the property enough to install a septic system for residential construction would be costly, in addition to the drainage on the property. Mr. James contended that the value of the land was the result of inflation rather than real value. The Assessor’s office explained that state law determines that the value has to be within 90-110% of the market value at the time of assessment, which is based on the sale value of neighboring properties. The office further explained that Oneida county was listed as second to Ada county as the highest percentage growth in Idaho. Kathleen Atkinson further stated that the original sale price of $10,000 immediately preceded a significant increase in appraised values and a redesignation of the land to another category. Assessor Salaries The assessor’s office discussed a number of issues related to the office budget, including hourly wages/salary adjustments for employees, as well as expenses in the operating budget. Repairs to the office’s county car were discussed, as well as a plan to create a searchable index of digital files for the office. A replacement or repair to the large map printer, as well as some building repairs for the office area outside the office were also discussed, though not resolved during the meeting. Road and Bridge A contract for materials and engineering expertise with Paragon consulting was approved. Budget lines for potential new hires to replace some of those lost to retirement in the department were also discussed, as well as a number of other issues.
COUNTY COMMISSION Access Idaho Credit Card Processing An agreement with the county’s credit card processing service to allow transactions between the county and customers online as well as in person was discussed. The DMV, Clerk’s office, Assessor’s office, and Treasurer’s office all currently use Access Idaho as their in-office credit card processor. Proclamation on World Elder Abuse The supervisor for Adult Protective Services for the region spoke to the commission about a proclamation from the Area Agency on Aging which has encouraged the signing of a proclamation acknowledging awareness of vulnerable adult abuse across the counties in Idaho. The tri-county guardianship board is often responsible for mediating and aiding elderly individuals in vulnerable positions. The Agency on Aging seeks to raise awareness of the role of social services in promoting support systems for elders throughout the community. Adult Protective Services themselves is based in Pocatello for this region, and handles the seven counties in the southeast corner of the state. Working with police and other services, the APS investigates reports of harm being perpetrated against elderly and vulnerable adults, including physical harm, financial exploitation, and even self-harm. The APS is part of SICOG. A motion to support a proclamation declaring World Elder Abuse Awareness month for the month of July was passed and signed. Lighting for the Event Center Parking Lot Sawyer Fonnesbeck spoke to the commission about the lighting project for the parking lot. He explained that his position as an extension officer meant that the scope of his job including aiding the community is whatever ways he could. In this case, the lighting improvements are generally to the benefit of the Fair Board, as well as the many patrons of the C Y
M K
Event Center throughout the year. The Fair Board does not have the funds in its budget this year for the maintenance and improvement of lighting. The Board received a grant for improvements to the Event Center, but the grant only covers landscaping improvements which are horticultural. The Board requested funding from the commission to complete the lighting project. Fonnesbeck has been working with Rocky Mountain Power on pricing for the project. $3,110 was listed as the least expensive project total, with offsets resulting in around $907 as a final cost to the county for supplies, and around $1,075 for labor. Other, more expensive options included newer, photocell-based lights with programmable output, as well as new poles. A concern about having to redo the RV hookups in replacement poles was raised. The options for lighting were at the stage of estimated cost at this point, to provide a sense of tradeoffs between cost and longterm value in the lighting system. A third option of placing new lights on existing poles was also discussed, which the commission felt was the best option. Fonnesbeck agreed to pursue a more detailed bid for the project before it was approved. Change Order for Elevator Project The electrician for the elevator project requires a change order, due to the fact that the electrical schematic submitted for the project did not note a need for new panels as part of the improvements to the building’s infrastructure. In order for the extra cost to be added on top of the original bid, the commission is required to sing a change-order, which was approved. Assessor’s Office Jaime Olsen spoke to the commission about address changes near what is currently known as The Malad Summit Subdivision near 900 E and 11000 N. The subdivision was originally built in 1974. At that time, the roads were not named. Olsen raised

Safety on the Farm By Allison Eliason
Of all the farming and ranching operations around the nation, 98% of them are family owned and operated, with multiple generations living and working together. These operations provide a great opportunity to raise and teach agriculture’s youth as they work alongside their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. They provide not only a space to work but also a space to live, learn and grow. While this is one of the greatest blessings of farming and ranching, it also poses challenges that require planning and forethought to keep everyone safe. Approximately 33 children are injured in farm related accidents every day and about every three days, a child dies from an agriculture related incident. 25%
of these injuries involve machinery, 17% involve vehicles, including ATVs, and 16% involve drownings. More than half of these accidents occur while children are not working. The nature of agriculture can be dangerous with heavy equipment, livestock, ATVs, water and ever changing conditions. This can be especially dangerous for children and youth that are inexperienced, unaware of potential troubles, and overly confident of their own abilities. With so many moving parts, both literally and figuratively, it is impossible to completely reduce the hazards on a farm or ranch, but careful planning can help to minimize the risk of injury. Here are some tips to consider to make your own operation a safer place to work as a family.
Establish good safety habits yourself. Children and youth watch and learn from your own actions and will follow your lead when it comes to safety. Never leave children alone on idling equipment. Whenever possible, turn off machinery when leaving children and consider removing the keys. Always double check where children are when moving equipment to be sure they are in a safe area. Identify safe zones and hazard zones, talking about where children can play and why they should avoid dangerous areas. Properly store equipment, for example, leave hydraulic loaders in the down position and lock parking brakes. Reduce access to any heights by removing ladders or other means for

climbing and teach children to not climb. Have youth let others know where they are going when using or driving any equipment. Always wear closed toed shoes when working, especially around animals. Never allow children to play in grain in grain wagons, bins or hoppers because it can act like quicksand. Never leave a running or moving equipment unattended, such as an auger, PTO or swather. Be mindful of areas where you are spraying chemicals that children might play in later. Mark off areas that have been sprayed and that children should avoid. Keep all containers clearly marked to avoid mistakes of using the liquids in the wrong way. Never ask children or youth to do something
they are uncomfortable doing or beyond their capabilities. Teach and supervise them as they begin something new before leaving them to the work. Fence off potential dangerous areas such as manure pits. Appropriately stack or secure things such as loose panels, hay stacks, wood piles or tires that children will want to climb on. Reduce access to water such as troughs, ponds, ditches or canals. Understand that visitors, young and old, have less experience with potential agriculture hazards and will need more assistance and supervision to stay safe. Most importantly, constantly teach children and youth the right way to use equipment. Knowing how, when and why to use the different ma-
chinery, equipment and tools will help prepare them to be safe in any situation. Not only is it important to teach when to use equipment but to also teach conditions that would be unsafe to operate various machinery and tools. Ag operations can be dangerous and there is no way to avoid all the potential hazards, but by establishing good habits and teaching children and youth how to properly use equipment, farms and ranches can be a great place for families to learn and grow. Teaching children and youth how to make smart decisions as they work and play on the family farm will keep your operations safer, your families happier and your businesses stronger.

Not recommended for parents and kids. I have always loved Theodore Roosevelt’s “The Man in the Arena.” Basically, it celebrates those who “do” rather than those who “watch and criticize.” Great-grandma Elsie Bloxham was the woman who walked out to the barnyard, grabbed a chicken, wrung its neck on the way to the house, stopped at the garden, gathered the vegetables and had it all on the table, along with fresh baked bread in time for the hay crew’s lunch. She was the best cook in southeastern Idaho according to that crew. Great-grandma was definitely “in the arena.” Five generations later, Elle Evanson, also spends a lot of time in a different arena. She can find dirt and/or mud if there is any within a mile, so she generally looks like she has been in an arena, quite literally. One beautiful evening at the girls’ softball games, Elle decided to hang out with Hadley’s team in the dugout. If you are familiar with dugouts on the southeast corner of the old football field you will know they are really chain-link cages in the dirt. Elle played in the
dirt, rolled in the dirt, dug in the dirt, dumped dirt in her own hair and basically had a glorious time. When the game ended, the girls headed to the truck and Elle’s dad realized just what a glorious time she had had. She was given instructions to strip in the garage and go straight to the tub. I got home as she was finishing up. She had been in the tub long enough to turn the dirt into mud. She thought she was done, but when Grandma Dot (that’s me) saw the streaks on the towel and then looked in the bottom of the tub, it was determined she had only finished round one. Well, when cleanliness was finally achieved, and we were watching a show, I asked, “Why in the world would you dump dirt in your own hair?” “I don’t know,” was her reply. I got to thinking. Why did I play another round of solitaire? I don’t know. Why did I eat another piece of pie? I don’t know. Whose arena am I in? Seems the difference is thinking! Here’s to “thinking” and “doing” in the “Arena of Life!” But..there are times when you just have to get in the mud, even if you don’t know why!

Sharing the Trail on the Range By Allison Eliason
Every once in a while we have those unique opportunities to be a part of finding solutions to some of the frustrating challenges we face. Not long ago I had one of those opportunities to sit in and discuss an ever increasing problem that ranchers are facing with those people that can actually make the solutions a reality. Each summer, the Idaho Cattlemen's Association (ICA) hosts a trail ride where they invite members of the ICA board, individual Idaho ranchers and government officials, providing a time and place for both parties to connect and discuss some of the challenges the agriculture industry is facing. I had the privilege to attend the 2022 trail ride with my husband who is currently a member of the ICA board. The trail ride was held in eastern Bingham County where several ranches participate in a privately owned grazing association. The morning of the trail ride, we saddled up horses and headed out with nearly thirty riders, nearly half of them directors and representatives from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Idaho Fish and Game, Forest Service, State Lands, Department of Parks and Recreation, State Controller and
members of the Idaho Legislature. Leading the trail ride and discussion was Idaho’s Governor, Brad Little. In my personal experience as a rancher, a discussion between ranchers and government officials can be tense to say the least. It can feel like the government establishes limiting regulations and in turn, don’t listen to the expertise and advice that ranchers provide. It can feel like a vicious battle where neither side is willing to give any ground and wholly determined to make the other side see things their way. With this sort of background, I was interested to see firsthand how such a discussion would go. Not long after we started our trail ride through the association’s private range, we paused on the side of the mountain when one of the local ranchers and member of the grazing association pointed out a 4-wheeler trail cut into the side of the mountain. I didn’t think much of the trail until he began to explain how that trail only came to be just less than a year ago and that they, the members of the association, never used that trail. It had, in fact, been made by other ATV/UTV users, primarily hunters, that had no permission or business being on that land. That rancher also
WEDDING
shared how other riders drove their ATVs/UTVs in and along the creek beds, ruining the grass and banks all along the way. Discussing the situation before us, I could really see the frustration the association members were facing with these riders and their blatant indifference for their land. As ranchers and leasees of public lands, we are held to a certain standard of care of the land. If there are places where cattle overgraze, springs that slow or creeks that become injured, we are either to make reparations or move our cattle out. In fact, some areas are fenced off from use to keep them from being destroyed. If we are held to such standards on public lands, how is it that those users can cause the same damage on private grounds without any consequences? If there is anyone that understands the love for working and playing in the great outdoors, it’s ranchers. If they didn’t have a love for the land and animals, they would never be in the business that they are. So while they understand and want people to enjoy the beautiful lands of Idaho, they also want them to respect the land and leave it so everyone can have the same opportunity. The association mem-
bers shared how there are times that other campers and hunters set up on their private lands, innocently unaware that they had chosen a spot that wasn’t for public use. They use the roads as they should and take care to leave the area clean and in good condition. And in these times, no one felt the need to explain the mistake but rather let them continue to enjoy the land. These sorts of users prove that these lands can be used in a multitude of ways when everyone chooses to be good stewards of the land, using it and preserving it for others to use as well. This isn’t the only experience that ranchers have with other people destroying their property. We have our own experiences where people have taken out fences, cut locks or even taken gates off hinges to go across our private land without permission. And I know there are hundreds of more stories like this. The issue at hand isn’t about ranchers versus outdoor enthusiasts but rather about using the land in a way that we can all live with, especially when it comes to motor vehicle use. Since the pandemic, more and more people are getting outside and playing with bigger and better toys and, unfortunately, they are leaving their mark.
In a rare moment for ranchers and officials, we all were in agreement. Something has to change so that we can all keep using these lands to their fullest potential. The wheels of change take time and the small solutions that we walked away with won’t be the big answer we need, but there are still things we can all do as a part of the solution. For anyone heading out to conquer the trails on public lands, take the time to plan out your route so you know where the various public and private lands are. There are sections of private, state, and federal lands all checkerboarded across the state so it is easy to make the mistake of going on someone’s land without knowing it. As you follow the trails across the range, be sure to close any gates that you come upon. They are there to either keep something in or keep something else out. They are there for a reason so put them back where you found them. Please treat the land how you would want someone else to treat your own property. Keep it clean and in good condition so it can continue to be used. There are places in our state that have been closed to public use because they have been disrespected. If you want to use it, don’t abuse it.
In fact, leave it better than you found it. Clean up where you can. Improve the conditions where you. Make it better where you can. As the old saying goes, if you pack it in, pack it out. Just because it is easier to leave trash or junk out on the range rather than bringing it home, doesn’t mean it's right. Do the harder right. I walked away from this new opportunity a little inspired. Not necessarily because we solved all of the problems but because we had a chance to find common ground and share our story with those that can make changes. I was inspired that I could come to the table with my own limited experience and still contribute to making things better. I was inspired to see that we can all be a part of the solution, from the lowliest of ranchers to the state’s governor. Let me say that last part again- we can all be a part of the solution. All too often we see the problems before us and we think that if we shed a little light on them and shout them to the world, something will happen. But that’s not how it works. Changes happen when people work towards solutions, you just have to choose to be a part of the solution not the problem.
Did Jesse James really live in Malad Valley for a few years? While the answer is not clear, the marriage license for Sarah Palmer and a man using the same alias used often by Jesse James
does exist, leading many in Malad Valley to believe the notorious outlaw did try to settle down and run a ranch in Pleasantview. The cabin lived in by Jesse James and Sarah
Palmer is being restored on the Palmer Ranch. To raise funds for the project, Ernest Palmer, son of Edna and the late Tom Palmer, will present a “Christmas in July” Concert on Friday,
July 8, at 7:30 p.m. in the Malad Presbyterian Church. The concert is free although everyone is invited to make a donation toward the cabin project.

Zach Beutler to take over as Malad High School Head Basketball Coach For the 2022-2023 Malad High School Boys Basketball season, a new coach will lead the Dragons. Zach Beutler has been selected to be the new head coach for the Malad Boys Basketball team. Coach Beutler has been a part of the MHS basketball team for two years now. He assisted the previous head coach. Coach Beutler has a very extensive background in basketball. He was introduced to the sport of basketball at the age of five and immediately loved the game. Beutler grew up in Dayton, Idaho, and was very fortunate to have parents that supported him with opportunities to pursue his passions. His father, Wesley, invested hours coaching his youth teams and giving them a solid basketball foundation. Coach Beutler continued his basketball career as he became old enough to play on the middle school teams. He was coached by Van Woodward (Owner of Woodward's Country Store in Weston) and Scott Adams (Firth High School's Head Boys Basketball Coach and Athletic Director). Beutler said “These individuals uniquely encouraged and contributed to my skill development and basketball IQ. Van was a very passionate and invested coach. Scott has become arguably one of the best and most decorated boys basketball coaches in the state. He currently holds the record for the most state titles in our classification - winning 7 state basketball titles in a 10 year span.” Coach Beutler attended West Side High school. Beutler spoke very highly of this experience. “ I will always be grateful for the amazing mentors in the community, including: teachers, coaches and administrators who made such a positive impact in my life during those formative years. They embodied and taught me discipline, accountability, resilience and what it means to be a contributor. During this time I played 4 years of varsity basketball under the direction of Lee Ralphs and Tyler Brown (Current WS head boys coach). These individuals took my competitive spirit and passion for the game of basketball and with patience and persistence taught my teammates and I numerous basketball and transferable life skills. This helped us achieve great success including two Fifth District titles and success at state tournaments.” Along with a great amount of time playing the sport, Beutler also has a lot of coaching experience. His coaching experience began in high school when he helped coach his siblings’ little league teams. He spoke of this experience as “an invaluable experience as a player – it broadened C Y

my perspective of the game and helped solidify principles that I was learning. This experience also initiated the process of building my own philosophy of the game and peaked my interest in a love for the game through a different lens.” This coaching experience continued while he attended Idaho State University. He had the chance to be a part of the coaching staff for Pocatello High School under the direction of Lee Ralphs. His primary responsibility was coaching the post players. The team ended up placing third at state that year. This opportunity added experience and IQ to his coaching foundation. In 2010, employment opportunities took the young and growing Beutler family from Pocatello to Middleton Idaho (a rural community outside of Boise). Beutler jumped on the opportunity to coach his own boys in little leagues in that area. He also coached for Idaho Inferno (an AAU team in the area). During this time Beutler was hired on staff to coach at Middleton High School under Dale Karst. “ I coached as both an assistant and head coach for the freshman and JV teams. Each year I was there we were atop the 4A SIC district and competed at the state tournament with great success. This was a significant learning and growing experience for me to spend time in roles as a youth coach, assistant, and eventual head coach. Each of these opportunities continued to shape and mold my philosophy of the game and approach to my communication and interactions with players/administration/fellow coaches and parents of players.” Beutler continued, “We moved to Malad in 2020. As we were transitioning this direction I received a call from Tony Gibbs, who approached me about joining his staff. I coached Malad C-Team during
the 2020-2021 season and JV 2021-2022. I add the Malad staff to the long list of aforementioned individuals who have all contributed to my knowledge and experience. I will always be grateful for their unique insights and experiences that have aided in my growth and development. I’m a firm believer that we should always be growing and learning. “My experience in coaching encompasses youth of all ages and of varying athletic ability and potential. Although the variance can be difficult or frustrating at times, I’m grateful for that opportunity, because it has taught me how to adjust my approach from team to team and player to player, as I focus on helping individuals and teams maximize their potential. Our theme for the year comes from the Legendary John Wooden: “The definition of success is peace of mind in knowing that you did your best to become the best that you’re capable of becoming.’” Beutler plans to provide the youth with opportunities to learn the game of basketball. In order to do that the coaching staff will have a focused objective that is transferable to all facets of life. The focus of the staff will be to aid these young men in developing sound character, work ethic, discipline, and an understanding of what it truly means to be a good teammate and human being. They want to teach about how basketball is a team sport. “ It is not about the individual. It is about preparing the individual to fulfill their unique role to the best of their ability in order to be the best teammate they are capable of becoming. This is a major life skill that we all have to learn to function contently in families, community, school and work.” “One of the critical components to building a successful program is to have a solid youth
program,” Beutler added, “In my opinion, it is even more critical in a smaller division school. Youth need to enter a high school program with a solid skill set because of the smaller pool of consistent athletes. Last year Trisha Beutler took point on initiating a youth program. This program focuses on individual skill development through teaching and repping basic principles and continually building on these skills as kids mature and develop. We encourage all youth interested in the sport to become involved with this program as early as possible.” Beutler stated, “I want to be clear – that I have no personal agenda with regards to accepting this position. I sincerely love the game and love spending time teaching these skills to the youth. My plan is to coach and invest for an indefinite amount of time and spend that time giving my best efforts in building a solid program and environment where participants can exit as better and more prepared individuals than when they entered. “Good things take time, as they should. We shouldn’t expect good things to happen overnight. Actually, getting something too easily or too soon can cheapen the outcome.” -John Wooden” “I would like to provide you with an outline of opportunities that we are providing locally for anyone with a son or grandson that is interested in participating: October Preston League 6th-8th graders December - February - Middle School Seasons for 7th & 8th graders January and February - Weekend Tournaments in Malad for 5th & 6th graders January and February - Friday night games in Malad for 3rd - 4th graders Month of April - Clinics for all 1st - 6th graders There will also be other opportunities for
spring tournaments at surrounding schools and league play in Smithfield, Utah, and Pocatello, Idaho. Beutler added, “We are currently looking for coaches for the incoming 4th and 6th grade boys. Our focus with the youth is firmly based in fundamentals with an emphasis on teaching them how to play the game rather than teaching them plays. If you have an interest in coaching, please contact me at (208)251-8839.” When asked what he is going to bring to the program Beutler said, “My life experience and time are invaluable to me. I plan to bring and give my best of both. Two very formative parts of my youth were playing sports and working on the family farm. These experiences had their moments of extreme difficulty both physically and mentally, along with success came disappointment. I learned to navigate through these feelings and emotions. A very pertinent lesson I gleaned from these experiences is that if we consistently work hard and smart, we are more likely to achieve our goals and experience success.” Beutler is looking forward to seeing the progress the boys will make and the culture change. “My observation has been that many individuals show up to tryouts in November with an extremely poor skill set. They come having put no extra effort into the development of their skill or IQ but yet have high expectations of not only making the team but seeing a significant amount of playing time. This attitude of entitlement is no longer enough to make the basketball team. My experience has taught me that effort and commitment contribute to progression and improvement. Concerning youth it has been said that we overestimate their experience and underestimate their ability. We are
giving our best efforts to provide opportunities and experience for boys of all ages to develop skills. Effort and commitment will naturally contribute to progress and progress will be the reward.” “This summer as we have implemented opportunities, we have seen progress with the boys that have shown commitment and effort. My hope is that we will see an upward trend with the number of boys with the desire and willingness to prepare themselves to be good teammates. Part of my job is to prepare those I coach to be successful in life. If rewards are artificially manufactured, I will not be doing my part to help them understand how to prepare for life. When it comes to getting accepted to a program of study after high school and starting a career they will not be rewarded if they have not prepared themselves.” The coaches who are assisting in the high school are: Clint Bastian. Zack Jeppsen, and Jordan Beutler. In the Middle School Trisha Beutler and Marshal Martinsen are the coaches. “We are a team with different strengths and hope to emulate what a healthy team looks like so the boys can learn & see by example,” Coach Beutler said. Zach and his wife Trisha met in high school and eventually married in 2004 She was raised in Malad and Zach was raised in Dayton. They have six children ranging in age from 14 to 4. They have three girls and three boys. They love and cherish family time. They enjoy the outdoors, hunting, hiking, fishing and anything ag related. They love sports, especially basketball, and enjoy their “intrasquad scrimmages”. “Trisha and the boys enjoy running and Coach Beutler said he “enjoys watching them run and Trisha compete in marathons.”
