NEWS IN BRIEF Former Japanese PM Assassinated

Former Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe, 67, was shot during a speech last week, by a disaffected man who believed him to be connected to an unknown group. The man, who apparently manufactured or acquired a homemade shotgun, was arrested afterward. Japan has an extremely low incidence of fatal shootings (nine in 2018; 2 so far this year, compared to over 39,000 in the U.S.), making this a particularly shocking incident. Abe was known for his economic push to stabilize Japan’s economy through aggressive stimulus to all sectors of the economy and historically low interest rates.

Malad's support station is a crucial anchor in the 100-mile Gran condo race, which begins and ends in Logan

Gran Fondo returns to town over the weekend The 11th annual Cache Valley Gran Fondo made its annual halfway stop in Malad once again on Saturday, July 9. Due to the intense heat predicted by weather services for the weekend, the race began slightly earlier than usual as the sun began to rise in Logan. The earliest riders, who had started at between 6:00 a.m. and 6:15 a.m. averaging 19-25 miles per hour, made their way into Malad around 8:00 a.m., where they were greeted by the volunteers from Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital. The hospital is going on its ninth year of involvement with the race, which sees well over a thousand participants each year in four divisions, including the signature 100 mile round trip from the Cache Valley, up through Weston canyon, and back down to Logan. Although no exact count of the racers who stopped off in Malad was kept, roughly three hundred or so riders were anticipated. Along the course of the race, support services such as hydration stations, medical assistance, and road safety updates are critical to the successful functioning of the event, which is nationally

Racers take a much needed rest at the race's halfway point at Malad City Park

recognized on the Gran Fondo circuit. This year’s race brought over 1,300 racers out, with several hundred of them participating in the longest circuit, the grueling 104 mile loop. Malad sits almost exactly halfway through the race, making it the most important stop along the arduous path. While the most elite athletes typically spend little time off the road

itself, by the time most riders make their way into town, they are more than ready for a brief rest, some hydration, a quick bathroom break, and a bit of refueling. The spread of available refreshments featured tables full of carbohydrates in the form of baGRAN FONDO RACE On Page 2

Champion Wrestler—Malad’s Drake Morrison He may not be Hulk Hogan or Rulon Gardner, but Malad has its own champion wrestler to cheer on and take pride in his accomplishments. It's well known that it takes incredible talent, drive and passion to become champion in any arena. That same talent, drive and passion that has taken Malad’s own Drake Morrison wrestling across the nation to go head to head against the country’s toughest opponents, where he has not only competed, but dominated the wrestling brackets and became a national champion with a final season record of 100 wins and only three losses. Most recently, Morrison participated in the USA Wrestling Kids Na-

In the press conference to announce the release, NASA administrator Bill Nelson quoted Carl Sagan’s famous line “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” He followed it up by adding, “I think those words are becoming reality.” The images reveal a “star nursery” called the “Cosmic Cliffs” where baby stars are shown in their early stages of formation, over 7,600 light years away, as well as images of whole galaxies interacting with one another.

The value of the U.S. dollar and the British pound have reached the same point for the first time in over twenty years. While this is good news for Americans planning to visit Britain in the near future (generally the pound trades above the dollar), it represents a potential problem for future global markets, as foreign investment in the dollar against a sliding pound will potentially increase inflationary pressure and decrease the overall stability of the dollar as an international currency.

Chad Christensen sued by constituents over Facebook

Representative Chad Christensen of Iona, who formerly represented Oneida County before the legislative districts were redesigned for the next election, is being sued by five constituents from his current district for blocking them from being able to view his Facebook page. Those involved in the lawsuit claim that the block constitutes an abrogation of their Constitutional right to free speech, and to be able to engage in a public forum on governmental issues. Christensen claims in response that the page is primarily a campaign oriented resource, and not an official governmental one. There is not a great deal of case law on public officials and social media, though former President Donald Trump did lose a lawsuit brought by those blocked by his Twitter account. However, Rep. Cheri Reisch won a ruling from the federal court using a similar argument to Christensen’s in 2019.

Weather for the Week

While not quite as hot on average as last year, July’s temperatures are living up to their reputation. For the upcoming week, temperatures will range from the mid to high nineties during the daytime hours, and reach an almost uniform nighttime low of 63, according to the most recent forecast from the National Weather Service.

Farmers Market at the Park The City Park is the home of the Farmers Market every two weeks for the duration of the summer season, and features a range of vendors, booths, and farm commodities. While this weekend’s attendees were somewhat down after the back to back events of the Fourth of July celebrations and the Welsh Festival, the Market has seen a fairly brisk attendance so fair this year, according to the vendors on hand. According to Ginny Edlefsen of Kool Kids Dairy, who organized the Farmer’s Market together with Lexi Conger, next week should see a return of farm produce to the market, in addition to the craft items, baked goods, dairy products, and animals on display over the weekend. “We’re usually hopping on Saturdays,” Edlefsen said. “We’ve got produce, food, crafts, and most of the time the Iron Door Smokehouse is around.” Kool Kids Dairy is based on Malad, and proudly offers fresh raw cow and goat’s milk. Kristi B Neilsen from Baking by Kristi was on hand to sell baked goods, including fresh sourdough bread, which has been a feature of the Farmer’s market over for the last years. “I usually sell out down here. I’d say it usually goes amazing for me!”

she said, when asked how business at the market has been during the weekends. Kristi can be found on Facebook at “Baking By Kristi.” Meridee McDermott, who sells a range of home crafts and other items, was attending her first Malad Farmer’s Market as a vendor. “It’s a great place for it,” she said. The weather’s been great this morning, and so far so good!” Autumn Mello and her son Damien were on hand to sell Color Street nail products, which they have been doing “since the beginning.” The nail strips they sell

from the stall come in a variety of colors and styles, and last two to three weeks. Ffynnet Farms was also at the market, with an adorable bunch of AKC puppies, as well as other items. The Farmer’s Market is scheduled to run twice a month from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the weekends. The next market will be held on July 23 and 24, and then August 4 and 5. Those interested in vending at the Fair can contact Lexi Conger at (208) 244-8787 or Ginny Edlefsen at (208) 766-7730.

gels, cream cheese, and granola bars, protein in the form of deli meats and cheeses, and a wide range of fruits, melons, and vegetables. As has been the case over the past few years, another table was entirely devoted to the racer’s best friend…pickles. “It was kind of an accident,” Alicia Bell explained. “A couple years ago we were dumping out the juice to set pickles out and one of the riders said ‘Oh! Pickle juice!’” It turns out that pickle brine is an excellent source of electrolytes, which is extremely useful for preventing cramps over long bike rides. Ever since that time, the hospital has come prepared with dozens of jars of pickles, complete with cups of the ever important juice. While some riders still prefer formulated sports drinks to manage cramps and hydration, the popularity of the pickle table can’t be ignored. “I swear by it now,” one hurried racer said while quickly draining a glass. “It seems nuts, but it works.” “You can only get pickle juice like this in Malad,” Kathy Hubbard said. “You definitely don’t get it in Utah,” one rider laughed. During the event, it’s also helpful to have hospital staff on hand to deal with any potential medical and first aid issues that arise. Typically, the race sees a small number of cuts and scrapes from falls, as well as dehydration C Y

and minor intervention cases. This year, at least one rider was provided with treatment for a migraine, and provided with a ride back to the race start by race officials. Volunteer Sue Evans greeted those who made their way to the tables during the morning with a welcoming smile and encouragement. “It’s a great thing to be involved with, and I’m happy to serve here. I’ve found that the more service you put out there, the more good things come back to you,” she smiled. The smiles were mutual, as the most commonly heard comments from the racers were along the lines of “Thank you, Malad! This is amazing!” As the morning wore on, the number of riders making their way into town became a trickle, down from the earlier flood. Regardless of when the racers appeared during the morning, they were all thrilled to find a cool spot and a friendly face. The last riders of the morning lingered a bit to enjoy the hospitality before heading out to temperatures that had entered the 80s by 10:30. “We can’t thank you enough,” a late morning rider waved as she headed back out onto the blacktop. “This is just awesome!” “It’s funny to see the people that are coming to Malad for their first time, and seeing all the stuff we have for them,” Sue Evans stated, as a new batch of riders approached the tables. As

if on cue, one woman remarked “Oh wow! Where do I even start?” The race itself uses the entrance fees and donations from a large number of sponsors to contribute to many charitable causes. The race raises thousands of dollars for the Logan Regional Hospital Cancer Center, the Huntsman Cancer Institute, and a number of other organizations that provide support and assistance to individuals and families in the area. The race is also a qualifying race for the World and National Gran Fondo racing events. As a reflection of the mixed nature of the event, many of the racers are simply out for exercise and a great ride to support charity. On the other end of the spectrum, many of the elite athletes compete around the world, and on bikes that cost more than many people’s first cars. “Some of them are up to nine thousand dollars,” hospital director John Williams said, refilling the water bucket. “And if you get a chance, you should lift one up. They hardly weigh anything.” While weights are generally within a set range, the top line rides routinely weigh a bit under 15 pounds, the average weigh of a small Jack Russell Terrier. Performance racing gear and aerodynamic clothing are also central components of elite competition, and result in an average winning finish of a bit over four hours and twenty minutes,

Alicia Bell keeps the table well supplied with pickles and pickle juice, while Luvia Shannon preps protein for the racers

which works out to a pace of 23.6 miles an hour. Regardless of whether the racers were working at breaking records or just beating their own personal best, all racers recognize the importance of at least a quick stop in what the race organizers on site contended is the best stop on the route. The local ham radio club, RACCOON, provided communication and logistical support, along with volunteer radio clubs from surrounding counties. This allows the race organizers to be made aware of where the racers are within the course at any given time, to update road, traffic and weather conditions during the race, and to provide emergency support services whenever they are needed. After the final racers are verified by the radio team and race organizers to have passed through Malad, many of the refreshment pro-

visions are packed up and moved on to the next station in Riverside, while others are taken to be used at the longterm care facility and other locations in town. This year’s event was once again a massive success. According to Gran Fondo Race Director Troy Oldham, “This year we hosted riders from 8 different countries, 28 states, and have riders representing most of the race clubs in Southern Idaho and Northern Utah. Of the 1400 riders, about 1/3 come to ride the 104-mile course.” For racers, the event is one of the highpoints of the circuit during the summer racing season. Oldham further expressed his appreciation for local support. “With the support of The Neil J Redfield Hospital and Thomas Markets, our riders rave about how friendly, helpful and supportive the Malad support staff are to the riders. With-

out the support from our friends in Malad, and our ability to purchase all our supplies from Thomas Markets, we would not be able to offer this beautiful and challenging ride to our cyclists.” “We also support and raise donations for local charities like The Family Place, Common Ground, Huntsman Cancer Foundation and Cache Valley High School Mountain Bike team. Each year donating thousands of dollars to these worthy charities that support healthy lifestyles in our community.” Given the event’s continued popularity and Malad’s important role as a support station, organizers foresee a long and successful future for the event, which shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. “Two shouts for Malad!” one racer yelled, pumping her fist as she headed back down the road.

4-H Clubs Prepare for the Fair With the Oneida County Fair less than five weeks away, the 4-H leaders, youth and parents are busy making progress on their many projects. The various 4-H clubs from market animals to cake decorating, have been meeting to learn the skills necessary for their numerous projects as well as to learn about leadership and service in their community. The market beef, sheep and swine youth have been working on their livestock animal projects since the weighin in March (beef), May (swine) and June (sheep). They have been busy working at home to feed and prepare their animals for show day, as well as meeting as clubs to learn more about their market projects. In their meetings they have learned things such as body structure, how to provide proper nutrition and what byproducts are produced from their animals. Several 4H youth participate in the various levels of leatherwork. As they meet, they learn about the different techniques and tools to be used while working with leather. Their projects range from knife pouches to wallets or money clips. The dog club has been working with their four legged partners to learn important steps towards

agility, obedience and showmanship as they prepare for the county fair. The mini-horse club has been meeting regularly to develop their knowledge of horse care, training, handling and showing. While they aren’t permitted to show with a cart, they are learning the skills for hand driving. Hopeful babysitters have joined the babysitting club and will begin meeting soon to begin learning important points of childcare, such as healthy snacks, learning games and how to keep children safe. Throughout their project they will assemble their own babysitting kits. The crochet club has been enjoying their meetings as they have been working on those beginner basic stitches to turn their yarn dreams into pot holder realities. The photography club has been gathering to first learn how to use their cameras, compose photos and make the most of the lighting at hand. After learning the basics, they have been putting their new skills to work as they capture photos in their own simple photoshoots. Cake decorating is well underway for the cake decorating club as they learn the skills of turning food into art. They work to learn tasks such as spatula icing,

Everyone loves spiders, right?

piping and fondant work to take their cakes to the next level. The various rocketry levels have been meeting to assemble their rockets in preparation for launch day leading up to the fair. It's always an exciting accomplishment not only to build their rockets, but to successfully blast them off as well. Youth ages five to seven have enjoyed participating in the Cloverbud 4-H Club, learning the foundations of 4-H, interesting facts about Idaho and participating in fun learning activities. Most recently they enjoyed learning about bugs from Jason Thom-

as, entomologist and U of I Educator from Minidoka County Extension office. Young horse enthusiasts have come together in their 4-H club to advance their skills and knowledge in all sorts of equestrian avenues. The club is looking forward to their equine day camp coming up July 21st as they are set to learn about horse health and care, dentistry, massage therapy and farrier services. Many other clubs have been meeting around the county to teach skills in art, knitting, baking, sewing and woodworking and other livestock animals including chick-

WEDDING

Not recommended for parents and kids By Dotty Thorpe Evanson Maggie is seven. She lives in the Houston, Texas, area in a beautiful home which is in an HOA. I didn’t know what an HOA was until a few years back, but among other things, they tell you what color your front door can be and when your Christmas decorations must be down. (Lois Lower would never have lasted in an HOA.) They also get very testy if you leave your garage door up for more than a minute and, get this, you pay a monthly fee so someone can make sure you are painting your door the right color and following all the other rules. You might get a few bonuses like a clubhouse and a community pool,

July 14, 2022

but basically, they want the neighborhood looking good. Well, back to Maggie, she has loved cows since she could say, “Moo.” She carries a doll dressed in a cow suit and a stuffed cow with her everywhere she goes, one under each arm. Her family calls her Maggie Moo. They recently visited for the 4th of July, so we took her and all the cousins out to see Nicona’s minature cow. Maggie fell in love. On the trip back into town Maggie says, “I want to be a farmer when I grow up, and I would like a cow for my birthday.” Her mom, being the practical person she is, answers, “Well, Maggie, the HOA won’t let us have chickens, so I don’t

think they would go for a cow.” Maggie was not deterred, “Well, we will just have to move some place where they will let us have a cow. Somewhere like Malad.” Somewhere like Malad. If you want a cow or chickens or if you want a bright front door, you need to find a place like Malad. Well, guess what? You can still have a beautiful neighborhood, too. Our doors don’t match. We love Karlie Lewis’ cheery yellow door which matches her personality. We have lots of chickens and even larger fowl. I remember when Mike Williams’ ducks waddled to town every afternoon. Currently, there is the peacock by the mill. All beautiful. Lois Lower’s

Christmas decorations were always up until at least February, and we all knew why. Lois liked her Christmas tree. What it boils down to is the people, not the matching doors. The Good Life is made up of good people. People who keep their yards tidy, without the HOA telling them to. People who celebrate important holidays for as long as they want. People who paint their front doors whatever color speaks to them! People like you and me who know our neighbors and try to get along. Do a selfcheck…adjust as needed and remember, we build the Good Life right here together without the help of an HOA!

In spite of soaring temperatures outside, Ernest Palmer brought Christmas in July to Malad at a concert on Friday, July 8, at the Presbyterian Church. To a full house of family and friends, Ernest sang such favorites as “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire,” “Let It Snow,” “Do You Hear What I Hear?” and “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” Breaking away from Christmas classics, Ernest also sang “They Call the Wind Maria”

and “How Great Thou Art.” In between numbers, Ernest recounted a short history of Malad’s Presbyterian Church and provided evidence that the outlaw Jesse James did, indeed, spend a short time in Malad. After Jesse married Sarah Palmer (the alias William Cole is on the marriage certificate), the couple lived in a cabin on the Palmer Ranch. All proceeds from the concert will go toward restoration work on the cabin.

MALAD CITY NEWSLETTER JULY 2022

Recently Mayor Joan Hawkins, Councilmen Larry Thomas and Lance Tripp (with their wives, Wendy and Staci), Clerk Susan Wittman, and Treasurer Terrill Schwarz and his wife, Peggy, attended the annual convention for the Association of Idaho Cities (AIC) held in Boise, Idaho. At this threeday conference, sessions were made available for us to learn how to run our city more efficiently and effectively. We each decided on which sessions we would like to attend, based on our assignments with the city. Together we all attended breakfast and luncheon sessions. At the Thursday breakfast session, we were all very impressed with the speaker Ed McMahon, a Senior Resident Fellow at the Urban Land Institute in Washington, D.C. The Urban Land Institute advocates progressive development, conducting research and education in topics such as sustainability, smart growth, compact development, place making and workforce housing. Mr. McMahon spoke to us about the importance of place. I would like to share with you some of his thoughts, because we are all faced with the fact that Malad City and Oneida County are changing and growing. We want it to change for the better, and some of the thoughts he shared pertain not only to those who lead your city, but to you as citizens. The following are the notes that Mayor Hawkins took of his presentation. We wish all of you could have heard

his inspiring talk about why some places thrive and some places fail. See what comes to your mind when you read these short notes: • No place will stay special by accident. Everything is changing and you can have planned change or unplanned change. • Quote by Abraham Lincoln: “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” • Economic Development is about choices. • Companies consider access to talent and the quality of the community • The “place” is often more important than the salary • Most important – Infrastructure development NOW • Provide education for the world we are moving into • “Successful cities and towns think small in a big way.” –Roberta Brandes Gratz, award-winning journalist and urbanist. • Spend money in local stores rather than chain stores – the money remains in your community. • What makes more sense – providing a subsidy for businesses or investing in a great place? • Make downtown a place that is inviting. • Don’t try to be like everyone else. • Mark Twain quote: “We take stock of a city like we take stock of a man. The clothes and appearance are the externals by which we judge.” • Community image is critical to economic viability and quality of life. • If every place is like

everyplace else, there would be no reason to travel anywhere else. • People stay longer, come back more often, and spend more money in places that attract their affection. • Downtown plays a decisive role as an icon. If you don’t have a healthy downtown, you don’t have a healthy town. • Investing in downtown is investing in our entire community. • A city without a past is like a man without a memory – saving historic buildings is important. • The story of your town is an economic asset. • Successful communities ALWAYS have a vision for the future. • Pick and choose development! • Inventory the assets of your community. What are our assets? (This is a question for each of you to think about.) • Vision counts, but implementation is priceless. Last year the Mayor and Council approved a new brand for the city – “Everybody’s Hometown”. We believe that this describes Malad, and we want to develop our town and our attitudes to reflect this brand. In Everybody’s Hometown, we treat one another kindly, with respect for different opinions. We help one another and work together to solve problems. We all pitch in to make community events successful and fun for everyone. We work together to accomplish long-term goals for the successful future of our town. We realize that

we, as adults, will probably not be around to see the finished vision, but we do it for our children and grandchildren, our friends’ children and grandchildren, and new residents who want to make Malad their home. We hope that our vision for Malad City is your vision, too. As your city leaders, we are trying to serve our community in the best way that we know, with the key word being “trying.” We are willing to make hard decisions for the best outcome for the future of the city. We have always tried to educate the public on what is going on in the city through our local newspaper and for the past two years with monthly newsletters. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact the Mayor and Council members. Their names and contact information are included on the city’s website: www. maladidaho.org. By the time you receive this newsletter, we will have celebrated the Malad Valley Welsh Festival and the Fourth of July celebration. We hope that you all participated in activities at these events; and even more importantly, we hope that you all will commit to help with future activities. It is the hope that these events will become traditions that the younger generation will be willing to continue; and that through them, they will value the importance of “place”, our place - Malad, Everybody’s Hometown! Regarding issues with the city’s water systems: The city has a very old

ship win in the national Folkstyle wrestling competition in April, where Morrison was ranked #1 in the 32 man bracket, earned him the rare title of National Triple Crown Champion. Across the nation, only five 14U wrestlers, including Morrison, won the triple crown title this year. Morrison is the first of Malad to win such a title. After Morrison’s great win’s and exciting accomplishments, his father and coach, Devin Morrison commented, “We are so proud of Drake and the work he puts in. He is always working to be the best. This title is something he has been working toward for years and to see all of that hard work pay off is amazing. “We have incredible coaches and teammates that support each other. We are so grateful for the love and support of our wrestling family here in Malad.” Brothers of Steel teammates Kyler Blaisdell and Oakley Maddox also wrestled at the Greco-Roman and Freestyle national tournament in June. Blaisdell wrestled in the 8U, 56lb bracket, winning 3rd place in the Greco-Roman tournament and 2nd place in the

Freestyle tournament. Maddox wrestled in the stacked 14U, 119lb bracket taking the 8th place medal in the Greco-Roman tournament. Placing at the national tournament made all three Malad wrestlers National All-American wrestlers. The week prior to the national tournaments, Morrison competed with Team Idaho in the Turf War Duals as well as the Western States Tournament. Over the two day dual tournament, Morrison again went undefeated in his 10 duals. Team Idaho wrestled against other teams from Utah, Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon and Montana. At the Western States tournament which featured all three wrestling styles, Morrison again won all first place in each style, making him the 14U tournament triple crown winner.

culinary water system. The mayor and council found out, about one year ago, that issues with the city’s booster pumps and the alarm system were very outdated and were not working properly. We found out that the superintendent and other crew members were having to “babysit” the system, because they were not being notified by the system of when water pressures were going down. Because of that, they check the city’s pumps daily, several times a day, including weekends and holidays. As soon as the mayor and council found out about the problems with the system, they met with engineers for a plan to bring the system up to date. We were able to obtain a small grant, and because of funds received through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), we have the funds necessary to repair the system so that there will be no raises to homeowner’s water rates. Bids went out and a contract was awarded to Advanced Pump and Equipment in November of 2021. Since then, issues have arisen that have needed to be cleared. When working with water or wastewater systems, the city must have an engineer, and the Department of Environmental Quality must approve all projects. The latest issue was a change order to comply with requirements of Rocky Mountain Power. With that issue resolved, it is hoped that work can begin very soon on the system, which will also provide a SCADA

th 70th 65 Annual

system for both the water and wastewater systems. With a SCADA system, alerts will go to the city superintendent’s telephone if anything is not working properly with either the water or wastewater systems. Members of the city crew have put in many overtime hours during the summer watching the system. The lows in pressure are due to the failing system and will be corrected as soon as the repairs can be made. The crew can adjust pressures to a certain extent, but they do not want to adjust pressures so that a sudden raise would damage water heaters and other home devices. We all share the concerns of citizens about low water pressure, but we ask that you continue to be patient until this work can be done. Yes, we do understand that with low water pressures, fire is a huge concern. We are all as anxious as you are to have this work done. Regarding Deep Creek, again our city crew is working with a very old system. Since turning on Deep Creek, they have had numerous leaks that have had to be repaired. Some areas of the city have received their Deep Creek water, but those with multiple leaks are still being repaired. The city will meet with engineers at the next council meeting to see what the answers are for our needs, whether we need an additional well to provide the water required to water lawns and landscapes or if there is another option for secondary water.

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017) Chosen as Community Volunteers of the Year for 2017 are Jeff and Laurie Richins. In presenting the award on Monday evening, July 3, Mayor Joan Hawkins said that the Richinses were unanimously chosen for their many years of volunteer service to the Malad community. "Travel the USA" was the theme chosen by the Malad Area Chamber of Commerce for the local Independence Day celebration. Residents and visitors enjoyed the traditional hometown festivities everyone has come to love in our community. The latest production of the Iron Door Players was a fun melodrama, "The Ballad of Gopher Gap" or "Sticky Fingers won't wash!" The play was presented three times, with the final showing held on the afternoon of July 4, a nice respite from the hot weather. Many took advantage and filled the playhouse. A lot of fun was had, booing the villain cheering the hero and oohing and ahing over the heroine. The cast for the melodrama was Tamen Whipple, Jeff Richins, Shauna Spencer, Russell Elliot, Moriah Sands, Hailey Spencer, Marcia Stocks, Edson Whipple, Brenda Daniels, Jen Sperry, Kris Whit, Corban Sperry. 10 YEARS AGO (2012) The Annual Samaria Days Celebration has been cancelled for this year, primarily due to illnesses among the committee members. “Pieces (of this event) are just not coming together,” stated Sharon Atkinson. Despite the difficulties, Sharon said the committee tried to work things out, but without success. They hope to resume the celebration again next year. The 2012 DEKALB Agricultural Accomplishment Award sponsored by Monsanto Company, was recently presented to Tyler Ogden of Malad High School. Ogden received the award for excellence in academics, leadership and agricultural work experience. Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise, Sadie Jensen throws candy to a crowd of waiting children as she rides on the Sweepstakes Award float created by her parents, Chris and Nicole Jensen, of Daisy Hollow Floral and Gifts, and Just Imagine. Other float winners were Hess Pumice Products, Inc., with the theme “United We Stand”, winning the Mayor’s Award; Oneida County’s 2012 Farm Family, the Nolan Blaisdell family, and the Oneida County Farm Bureau Woman of the Year, Debra Clark, ride on the Judge’s Choice

Award float, entitled “Farm to Shelf” and The Dr. Richard Jones Family Farm won First Place Non-commercial honors during the Malad July 4th Parade. 15 YEARS AGO (2007) Samaria will be hosting its tenth annual Samaria Days on July 20 and 21. Willard and Kay Higley have been selected to serve as the Grand Marshals for the parade on July 21. Over 50 entries wound through residential and downtown areas celebrating the nation’s birthday on the 4th of July. The theme for the 2007 parade, in keeping with the spirit on which the United States of America was founded, was “Celebrating A History of Freedom. Ryon S. Owens, of Malad, has earned a place on the Idaho State University 2007 spring semester dean’s list for the College of Technology. Kip David Price and Thomas Daniel Price both graduated Magna Cum Laude from Stevens-Henager College in Logan, Utah. Both received their Bachelor of Science Degrees in Accounting. Trevon Lee Tap of Malad has been called to serve a two-year mission to Des Moines, Iowa. Trevon will enter the MTC on July 11. Eighteen-year-old Karen Moss was named the new Malad Idol during the final round of the senior competition held at the Malad City Park on July 4. Deziray Grote, 16, was named the Junior Idol. 25 YEARS AGO (1997) Malad swelled last Thursday and Friday as visitors flocked to town to enjoy the community’s old-fashioned Independence Day festivities. Over 45 entries wended their way through the parade route in the historic 4th of July Parade that dates back to Malad Valley’s early days. The theme this year – “An Old-Fashioned 4th of July” – focused on holiday traditions of the past. Malad’s Volunteer of the Year, Myra Jean John, was Grand Marshal. Hess Pumice entered the 1st place float titled “Patriotism Never Grows Old.” Coming in 2nd went to the Malad City float, entitled “Music in the Park.” The 3rd place float was entered by the Oneida Farm Bureau organization, entitled “Holiday in the park”, the entry carried the Farm Wife, Stephanie Briggs and Farm Family, Dave and Sharon Harris. Mary Alice Telford, the English, Drama and Speech teacher for Raft River High School was named Idaho Drama Teacher of the year. She

was nominated during the Idaho Speech Arts Teachers Association Fall Conference. Arland Royal Jensen, age 12 was the winner of the Fair Book Cover Contest sponsored by the Oneida County Extension Office. His original drawing will decorate the 1997 Fair Book, plus he earned $50 for his first place entry. Frank Madsen wasn’t expecting any recognition when he went to the 22nd annual Idaho Association of Pupil Transportation Convention in Boise. In fact, when he was announced as Transportation Supervisor of the Year, he was out back looking at a bus motor and had to be summoned to the platform. 35 YEARS AGO (1987) Newly elected officers of the Malad Lions Club for 1987 are pictured in The Idaho Enterprise: Joe Dennis, president; Jack Allred, 1st vice president; Elbert Sweeten, 2nd vice president; Veryl Henrie, secretary; Thayne Barker, Lion Tamer; Sterling Phillips, Tail Twister; Hubert Gleed, treasurer; Dan Perkins, board of Directors; Tom Parry, Program Director. The possibility of returning 4-Points to a fourway stop was once again a matter of discussion at the Malad City council meeting last week. This intersection at Bannock Street and 100 West has been the topic of many lively debates since it was changed from being a four-way stop two years ago. Mayor Terrill Schwartz expressed concern about changing the intersection back and forth. “Whatever we do,:” he said, “will make some people happy and others upset, but we’ve got to decide one way or another and then leave it alone.” Local taxidermist Sid Lewis was the recipient of two awards at the second annual Idaho Taxidermy Art Show recently. The Malad Stake will present the musical comedy, “Lumberjacks and Wedding Belles,” for the enjoyment of family audiences on July 27 and 28, in the Malad Elementary Auditorium. The play is the delightful story of Asa Mercer, who travels from Washington Territory in the late 1800’s to the city of Boston to bring back some wedding belles to marry the lumberjacks in an effort to bring civilization to the territory. 45 YEARS AGO (1977) Two 10-year-old Cub Scouts are credited with saving the life of fiveyear old Brooks Tovey on June 27 at the Tovey home. Roger Tovey and John Wakley were inside the house when they heard screams of pain and panic, and dashed outside

to find little Brooks on fire and flames leaping all over the sidewalk. Roger tackled his brother and made him roll over to smother the flames. At the same time, John reached through flames to the water hose. Together the older boys soaked the clothes of Brooks and put out the gasoline fire. The boys explained that they had learned about fires and what to do when you found a person on fire in their Cub Scout meetings. Doctor Goodenough later told the family that it was the quick action of Roger and John that saved Brooks from severe burns and death. Brooks was transferred from Malad to the Intermountain Burn Center at Salt Lake where he has undergone surgery three times to remove dead tissue and receive skin grafts on his legs and left hand. Highlights of the 59th Annual Department Convention of the Idaho American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary held in Blackfoot will be the installation of Joan Leavitt, a longtime leader in local, district and state activities, as president of the Idaho Department. 55 YEARS AGO (1967) Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise and reigning over Oneida’s 21st Rodeo is this trio of accomplished young horsewomen – Queen JoAnn Harrison; Maureen Briggs, first attendant; and Colleen Neal, second attendant. They will ride in the parade preceding the first night’s rodeo and in the grand entry both evenings at the Oneida Fair Grounds. Mr. and Mrs. Rex Schwartz received word recently that their son, Ernest Glen Schwartz, had been advanced from Airman Second Class to Airman First Class. Stationed on Taiwan (Formosa), A1C Schwartz is a chief programmer with the USAF Computer system. Arriving in Malad this month to make their home here are Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Esplin and their sons, Jayson and twins Tim and Todd. Mr. Esplin is the new principal at Malad High School and has taught in the Vernal and Bountiful schools. A car owned by Kay Alder was recovered after a group of young people from Malad saw the car parked behind the Grange at Downey. The car was reported stolen sometime during the night of July 2-3 from the Alder residence at Malad. 65 YEARS AGO (1957) Paul M. Evans, son of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Ev-

ans, has enlisted for three years in the United States Navy and left Monday for San Diego where he will take boot training. Paul is a 1957 graduate of Malad High School. Mrs. Boyd Thomas was hostess to 12 youngsters at a party for her daughter, Lucille, on her fifth birthday. A beautifully decorated cake was featured. Games were played and refreshments served. Dr. and Mrs. D. C. Hyer are combining business and pleasure while visiting Malad. Mrs. Hyer is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Corbridge, and other relatives while Dr. Hyer is making arrangements to establish a dental practice here in October. Lt. Cleve S. Bolingbroke, who received his Master of Science Degree in Civil Engineering at Utah State last month, is now taking primary pilot training at Bartow Air Force Base, Florida. Weldon L. (Ren) Jensen is receiving six weeks of ROTC summer training at Fort Riley, Kansas with members of the Colorado A. & M. College cadet program. Cadet Jensen, a physical education major at A. & M. is scheduled to complete the training in August. S. A. Hendricks has been recalled to serve temporarily at the West Central States L.D.S.

mons, who succeeded Mr. Hendricks when he was released last March. 75 YEARS AGO (1947) The Malad High School band was selected for the honor position of leading the Cache County Independence Day parade at Logan on July 4th. It was one of the largest and most colorful parades ever held in this area. Fifty-five members of the band went to Logan. A big celebration at Malad on July 23 was planned at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. Highlighting this sports festival will be a bicycle race from Malad to Downey. Steve Stayner, local manager of Globe Mills, announced the completion of a new 50,000-bushel grain elevator in Malad. The elevator is equipped with a 50 foot Ferguson type registering beam scale, 4,000 bushel per hour leg, ten bushel Richardson Automatic Scale and a Gerber distributor. This machinery and storage capacity along with the 2,000,000 bushel terminal storage in Ogden, Mr. Stayner feels he can give the farmer excellent service.

Grant Awarded to Local 4-H Program

By Sawyer Fonnesbeck, Extension Educator The Oneida County 4-H program has had the opportunity to apply for some grant funds through the Idaho State 4-H program. Since January of this year, we have submitted applications to receive money through a “Building Capacity” grant and as a result, we have been awarded $10,500. Our office has not received grant money in this amount for a very long time according to our 4-H coordinator, Sherry Moeller. Since the Extension/4-H office was moved to the Fairgrounds a couple of years ago, we have realized that some supplies and equipment necessary for our 4-H clubs were either missing, out-ofdate, or in disrepair. Our faithful volunteers were being asked to bring some of their personal equipment to help with club projects because the office did not have sufficient means to purchase these items. These newly acquired funds will allow our office to purchase new supplies

so that our clubs may run more efficiently and put less of a strain on our volunteers who already provide so much support to the youth in our program. The $10,500 have already been put to work in our county. Updated curriculum books on topics ranging from livestock husbandry to knitting and cooking have been purchased to provide our youth with the most up to date information available. With the availability of a new kitchen at the Event Center for our program to use, we have purchased a lot of cooking/ baking items that will ensure that those youth in these clubs can have a substantial learning experience with good equipment. Updated tools were purchased for our leatherworking and woodworking clubs so that creativity will not be impeded as these youth work to create projects that they can personally use and submit to the fair for the public to view. The horse clubs will now have a new bridge, gate, and other equip-

ment to use during their trail class at the fair and practice shows. Helmets were also purchased for youth to allow them to be in compliance with safety rules. Other clubs benefiting from this grant include the Rocket club, Sewing club (new sewing machines), and all the Beef, Lamb, and Swine cubs. I want to give my thanks to our office manager, Kelly Sorensen, and our 4-H coordinator, Sherry Moeller, for their help in organizing the purchases involved in this grant. The 4-H youth program is thriving in Oneida county, and we are privileged to have the opportunity to work with the youth. Our office has some great things planned for the upcoming months and years, so stay tuned for further great news from our 4-H organization. If you have youth ages 5-18 and have questions about what the 4-H program can offer them, please contact our office at 208-766-2243 or email oneida@uidaho. edu.

FAIR BOARD MEETING 7/7 Groundskeeper The organizer of this weekend’s upcoming Monster Truck event at the Fairgrounds was contacted by phone for a discussion about preparations. The board was concerned about whether the organizers would be bringing in dirt, or utilizing dirt from the area. In the past, there have beensome issues with the dirt being brought in containing rocks and other items that create problems, especially with regard to horse racing in the facility. On the phone call, the organizer clarified that they would be returning the arena to the same shape they found it, so they would manipulate the existing dirt rather than bring new dirt in, and would use tarps to minimize the impact to the arena. He expressed a desire to establish a continuing relationship with the county for future events and promised to leave as little trace as possible in the arena. The question was raised as to whether the monster trucks might be parked at the arena overnight, so they didn’t have to be hauled to Cherry Creek every night for storage? After the board clarified that someone would be monitoring them in the arena, they approved the idea. There will be a camper there parked near them. The event organizer communicated that he was impressed by the parade, and was gratified by a lot of local business support. A friend of his—a pro racer for the Hot Wheels circuit in Europe—had

One of the recently assembled planter boxes at the Event Center. Benches will soon be joining the frontage as well

"Monster Madness" will be held at the Fairgrounds on July 16

just moved to the county, and wanted to be sure to make a “good impression on my new hometown.” The event is planning to use the existing concession stands and the sound system. The Monster Truck “Soldier” will be driven by a soldier with 5 deployments, and an army ranger. There will be a military and first responder tribute at the beginning of the shows. Travel Reimbursement The flower beds are ready to be picked up in Preston, so there was a request for fuel money to go pick them up. The beds were purchased with a landscaping grant as part of a beautification initiative for the frontage of the Event Center building. They will be placed, along with benches, at the entrance. Queen Contest The Fair requested that the Rodeo Queens serve as a flag bearers before each race, work

at the raffle booth, and distribute blankets at the end of the fair. The buckles which weren’t ready for the queen contest will be handed out on the Thursday of the Fair. Above and Beyond Award Names for the plaque to honor those who have helped with the fair and rodeo were submitted and discussed. The plaque is intended to be hung in the events center, but has not been placed there yet. The honor will be presented to the recipient during Fair week. Last year’s winner, Deon Jones, was honored at beginning of the Stock sale. Bounce Houses Bounce houses requested sufficient power supplies to maintain the bounce houses. Chairman Ken Moss, Jr. recommended the grass area next to the parking lot, as the power supply to the back was insufficient for the needs of the vendor.

Vendors Pricing and arrangements with vendors for the Fair week were discussed. The current arrangements involve a profit split between the vendors and venue, though a flat fee was discussed as an alternative for next year. The vending of tamales during the races was approved. Fair assignments The process of securing concrete barriers to close off road near animal sheds, and by the sales arena was initiated. The barriers should limit traffic through the event location and minimize the effect on livestock. Prizes for second chance race tickets were discussed. Second chance tickets come from any non-winning race stubs. The drawing keeps those who haven’t won interested in the event, and makes for a convenient way to reduce littering at the event. The arena project continues apace, with

the board hoping to mostly complete it on Saturday. New panels and fencing were to be added to the return alley. Five Year Plan The board was asked by the County Commissioners to continue developing a five year plan for expenses that need to be planned out on a longer term basis. One that was brought to the board’s attention by the Ag Extension office was the potential need to start looking at adding a new barn, or adding on to the existing barn structures. Ag Educator Sawyer Fonnesbeck explained that 4-H enrollment is up 40 kids this year, and will continue to keep growing, resulting in a need for a new livestock barn eventually. Also in the plan was the arena project (which is underway); new roofing on the pig barn; replace horse barns 2023; landscaping 2024; parking lot/ RV hookups. The board felt that

the purchase of property at edge of grounds north of horse barn was an immediate priority, followed by new electric/RV hookups in back, work on the livestock barn, various arena projects, landscaping, and a water line upgrade (to prevent having to repair line so often). Misc. The board was updated on the Stone Rodeo, planned for the 22 and 23 of July. The board opted to have this year’s Fair book handled by a printer, rather than attempting to do it out of the office again. The current set schedule includes: Monday—Motocross/Fireworks Tues—Team branding/concert Wed—Team roping/Talent Show/steer weigh in 6 hog weigh in 7 Thurs—Rodeo Fri—Slack/Rodeo Sat—Family Fun

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 7/11 IT Contract for Services TJ Burbank from IT Services approached the commission about renewing the contract with county for the provision of IT services. He mentioned that the labor costs had increased as a result of general rising costs. The IT contract is set to automatically renew for each year, but the contractor announced that they plan to meet with the county each year before the renewal takes effect. A motion to approve IT Specialists’ contract with Oneida County for the next year was approved. Bannock Street Construction/Depot Road Detour Mayor Joan Hawkins spoke with the commission with an update about the Bannock Street Construction project. At issue was adding an overlay to the Bannock street project to prevent damage to Depot Road as a result of the detour which will take place during the construction. At this time, the city is uncertain whether there will be any impact to Depot Road, though the analysts who have looked at it suggest that due to the narrowness of the road, the sides may experience some damage as a result of rerouted trucking during the construction on the project. Because the construction project is a an ITD project, wages will increase the price several times over the current estimate. Right now, the cost of the project is estimated at 3 million, with the city’s investment at 7%. Without assistance from another funding source, the project will experience problems coming to completion. Commissioner Christophersen discussed the county engineer’s findings on the road. According to Christophersen, the first big culvert on Samaria Lane needs to be replaced at a cost of roughly $10K, as well as some widening of turns and an S turn that needs to be straightened, for around $13K plus purchasing land from the railroad, the price of which is as yet undetermined. The commission asked whether money might be set aside in escrow when the road is under construction for its impact on the county roads, to the tune of $200K set aside, which would be returned if the road is not affected. Commissioner Lewis suggested that he had been told that a two-inch asphalt overlay to the road would be a preventative measure, rather than an after the fact repair, at a similar cost to the requested escrow. The importance of maintaining the freight corridor for local shipping was stressed by both the county and the city. Both entities determined to work out a solution to the issue, but felt that there was not enough specific, relevant information on the table at present to make an informed decision on how to proceed with the C Y

plans moving forward. Removing the Depot Road issue from the Bannock Street project and making it a separate arrangement between the county and city was suggested as a way to clarify and isolate the two elements. Reworking the original contract for the Bannock street project was also discussed as an option. The county commission expressed a desire to facilitate the project in whatever ways were feasible, but a further work meeting on potential options for the project were felt necessary by all. Idaho Public Safety Communications Grant Application The Idaho Public Communications Commission has an available grant covering costs for two years of communication line coverage, which would total around $30K over two years. This would cover emergency 911 system network bills through ATC and Century Link. The Sheriff’s office requested permission to apply for the grant. A motion to grant permission for the grant application was approved and was signed by the commissioners. Access Idaho Agreement for building inspector to process credit cards An agreement for the credit card processing company to process credit card transactions in county facilities for the building department and establish online payments was presented to the commissioners. The motion was approved. Kyle Phillips Minor Subdivision A final plat approval for a minor subdivision was presented to the commission. Kyle and Heather Phillips have a minor subdivision application for a property off the Old Highway. A question about the order of acceptance for approach permits and minor subdivisions was raised, as the approach permit had not officially been approved yet. Cody Brower suggested a contingent approval could be issued and not fully signed until the permit had been received. Part of the new road standards includes the requirement to create an asphalt approach to all roads coming off county roads. The issue of the county’s responsibility for maintaining or becoming involved with creating those approaches was raised. A motion for the commissioners to sign after the other required signatures had been added was made and passed. Planning and Zoning Training Rhonda Neal spoke to the commissioners about training for Planning and Zoning. A consultant, formerly of Caribou County, has quoted a price of roughly $350/12 hour class for employees of the PZ department covering operations and strategies. A motion to fund the training out of the PZ budget was approved.

Court Ordinance Review Cody Brower spoke to the commission about a couple of ordinances that were under review as an attempt to update the county code. The first ordinance, from 1985, involves curfew and loitering. In 2005, another ordinance was passed updating the curfew ordinance. Curfew was officially set at 10:00 p.m.-6:00 a.m. in 1985, and 11:00 p.m.6:00 a.m. in 2005. The newer ordinance never actually repealed the older one. The Sheriff, the Attorney, and the Commissioners determined that 11:00 p.m. made more sense, given sporting events, job situations, and the lateness of sunset during the summer. It was decided to retain the “parents’ responsibility” section of the newer ordinance, which makes parents legally responsible for remediating any issues raised by their children. The newer ordinance also articulates a number of other nuisances, including noise violations and disturbing the peace. Brower suggested that the newer and older ordinances might be updated and streamlined to be more efficient and effective. He recommended removing sections pertaining to elements already covered in Idaho code, such as sections 9 and 10 (disturbing the peace through public acts such as profanity, for instance), as well several others. Section 18 covers littering. Currently, Oneida county code regards littering as a first-time misdemeanor, while Idaho code regards it as an infraction in the first two instances. Section 22 covers the avoidance of entrance fees at events, which is also covered under Idaho code under petit theft. Attorney Brower was designated to rewrite elements of the ordinance to include the discussed changes and merging of elements from the existing ordinances. Seth Scott; Juvenile Detention Seth Scott spoke with the commission about the District 6 Juvenile Detention Center. A joint powers agreement was presented. Beds at the D 6 facility are shared by a number of counties, through a cost sharing arrangement. Oneida county used to have a half bed allocated at all times, which was still above average occupancy for the county. The cost is now billed on actual usage without a specific bed allotment, which equates to around 2% of the total facility usage as a minimum, based on a 10-year rolling average of usage. The maximum number of beds available is 16, with an overflow arrangement with St. Anthony and Mini-Cassia facilities. Bannock County typically is responsible for the largest share of bed usage at the facility, which is located there. The joint powers agreement lays out the changes to pricing structure and terms of

the contract. The commissioners moved to approve the joint powers agreement between the six involved counties and signed it. The commissioners expressed appreciation to the probation office for their work. BOE Hearing During a recess from the main meeting, a Board of Equalization hearing was opened for Charles Thurber. Both Thurber and Assessor Kathleen Atkinson were sworn in for the meeting. At issue was a property on North Main. Thurber explained that the property is currently assessed as three separate smaller properties according to the minimum lot value for each, but he believes they should be assessed as a single property for assessment purposes. One of the businesses involved is Penny Wolf’s studio, as well as several adjacent and related properties, which are not currently occupied, but owned by Mr. Thurber. Atkinson explained that the buildings were assessed separately because there are two distinct buildings, which should be assessed under the minimum lot value for each. Cody Brower asked whether the sales deed contained legal description of each property, and whether Mr. Thurber had attempted to have the properties combined under a single tax ID or property number. Atkinson suggested that the lot might be combined with the property it was associated with, but not all three, as the two buildings were distinct buildings. Mr. Thurber held that the combined minimum lot values when combined are much higher than the amount would be if they

were combined into a single lot value. He also held that the primary issue was equity with other property owners with similar lots. Atkinson held that the assessment was fair under comparison with similar properties in the area. As a result of the few sales of downtown properties, there is little data to establish what comparable buildings might have on the market. Inspections of property take place every five years, though market values are established every year based on sales of equivalent properties. A property on 17 Bannock was also discussed. Mr. Thurber suggested that the property should qualify for the homeowner’s exemption, since the building is only used as a residence, though it is designated as a multi-use structure. A physical inspection of the building prior to a rendering of the implementation of the exemption has not been conducted. The homestead exemption allows for 50% off the assessed value up to $125K of a qualifying structure. Atkinson’s position was that the exemption would actually increase the tax burden on Mr. Thurber. Mr. Thurber contended that allowing an inspection of the building would not be able to clearly verify the status of the building as a residence, but the absence of an active lease for any part of the building should determine that its use is not commercial. Atkinson contended that leaving the building valued as a multi-use building but providing a homestead exemption was not equal to the other valuations in the county. The poten-

tial to re-evaluate the property as an entirely residential building was discussed, which would increase the tax burden on the property. The regular meeting was resumed in order to make a decision on the BOE Tax assessment appeals. The commissioners ultimately decided to support the value originally determined by the Assessor’s Office on the downtown properties. The BOE also decided that without being able to verify the current use of the second property in question, there were not grounds to change to appraisal of the multi-use building. Adjusting the minimum lot appraisal to last year’s amount was also discussed and approved. Hess Lumber Hess Lumber is planning to discontinue its involvement in cardboard recycling, which the county had previously engaged in. Hess Lumber cited the increased cost of fuel and processing in their decision and announced that they would cease collecting and recycling at their site. The cardboard collection had mitigated a large amount of cardboard from entering the landfill. Recycling facilities are available in surrounding counties. The commissioners were interested in looking for alternatives for cardboard collection. The commission decided to consult with local businesses who deal with bulk cardboard disposal. The potential for a private contractor was discussed. IDAWY budget A representative from IDAWY spoke to the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS On Page 11 C Y

PLANNING AND ZONING 7/6

Two new members were announced for the Planning and Zoning Commission, Steve Daniels and Bucky Reeder. They will be replacing former members Gene Bingham and Eric Crowther. The Commission wished to extend appreciation to the former members, and to Eric for filling the role for three terms, and to welcome the new additions. Building Inspector Tory Richardson reported that the county had issued five home permits, two ag building permits, and a permit for a cell phone addition on an existing tower.

The Commission had questions about proposed signs to be placed on private property on the Frontage road for the purposes of promoting a local business. They resolved to seek clarification of the request. Minor subdivision. The owner desired to split 5 acres into 3 lots. The commission had questions involving the use of water on the property, and reiterated the part of the development code which stipulates that culinary water can only be used on a single acre. Jaime Olsen approached the commis-

sion with a concern about a plot that was split in a sectional way that had resulted in some difficulty due to its irregular shape. A legal description of the resulting properties had not been included, though one is required under the code. Because the resulting splits in the property will result in 4 total lots, the board determined that the owners would need to apply for a minor subdivision permit. Davis Idahome Hess Sub Preliminary Review. JUB engineers’ recommendations have been received by the PZ about the subdivision,

which included several notes. The accompanying letter says the project should move forward under the code from last November, though Hess believes that the development should be under the regulations that were in place during the original applications. Paskett believes that the final plat would determine the road standards that were in place. Another concern was a recorded administrative lot split, which complicates the process of the development. The four plots that will be combined into a subdivision from the separate sections need to be labeled

individually. Roads and the fees attached to building were discussed. Hess’s opinion was that taxpayers essentially pay a portion of the road maintenance fees as part of property taxes. Hess had withdrawn his request to make the access road into a county road, but the plat had an area designated as such, which was agreed to by the group as a whole to be a simple clerical error. Some details, such as the width of turning radius in cul de sac and approach spacing needed to be increased. Many of the other errors reviewed by the engi-

neer were deemed to be clerical. Hess asked for clarification on which set of regulations to proceed with. Paskett said that he would look into it and communicate with Hess the following day. Assuming the questions are resolved, the remaining process will involve the scoring and final plat review. Tory Richardson presented a plan for building a series of structures on a piece of his property. A public hearing was set for the 3rd of August. PZ motioned to request a vicinity map, in time for the hearing.

commission about the budget for the landfill and related services. He was asked by the commission for any suggestions about potential use for the cardboard collection bins Hess Lumber will no longer be using. The commission was advised to retain the collection bins for potential future use, though IDAWY did not have plans in the near term to expand a cardboard baling operation. IDAWY reported that it has seen tremendous growth over the last six months, commensurate with growth in general in the area. It was also reported that the facilities for the multi-county landfill were proceeding apace, and a num-

ber of improvements were nearing completion. Collection services are also reported to be expanding in the western part of the county, and potentially expanding into Downey in the future. IDAWY is a not-for-profit solid waste district, which covers a large area in the southeast Idaho/Northern Utah region. IDAWY will be receiving ARPA dollars from the DEQ to support its operations and solidify its business model. IDAWY expressed thanks to the county for allowing it to be made aware of Planning and Zoning issues as well as local concerns. Prosecutors’ Office The issue of raises as a means of accounting for costof-living issues, specifically as a component of the current

high level of inflation, was discussed, though Attorney Brower also discussed in general the concept of COL as a component of salaries across the county. Also under discussion were travel and membership fees, as well as software subscriptions, which led to a general discussion of software services across the county which potentially could be streamlined and shared. Fair board Commissioner Ken Eliason discussed the five-year plan for the Fair board, which involves the construction of a new horse stall. The Board is interested in the potential purchase of remaining property bordering the fairgrounds, which might potentially be used for expansion. The majority of the property

surrounding the grounds has already been sold either to the school district or for subdivision development. Chairman Lewis discussed the benefit of placing large expenses on a 5-year plan, which allows for long-term budget management. The property was determined by the Fair board to be their most important 5-year plan “want/need.” The commission asked for more information regarding the specifics of the purchase plan. 9/11 Day of Service The commission began to look forward to this year’s “Day of Service,” which will be undertaken nationally on 9/10. The commission has been approached about potential county projects for the day. The Day of Service was first officially observed last

year and involved a number of different projects across the county, including park and road cleaning, painting and repair projects, and others. The Interfaith Council was one of the primary organizers of last year’s event, and they plan to be equally involved this year. EMPG Grant Emergency Manager Dan Williams spoke to the commission about the EMPG grant for the upcoming year. The grant is split between the county and the Idaho Office of Emergency Management. Some additional items for remaining SHSP grant money were discussed as well, including the backup generator for the Event Center and the printer/plotter for the Assessment office.
