A Night at the Haunted Elementary? Readers may recall that last year’s Halloween edition of The Enterprise carried a story on a possible Bigfoot sighting near Weston canyon. In the year since, the story has been the most frequently asked about in our offices here, without question. In what we hope may become something of a yearly trend, we decided to seek out another seasonally appropriate story for this year. After asking around about possible supernatural stories people in town are familiar with, the resounding winner of the most commonly cited story was the haunted elementary school. There are other potentially haunted places around the valley, of course. Both two-mile and four-mile were mentioned as possible locations for the otherworldly, though we were strongly cautioned to avoid them after midnight. It has also become very cold outside at night, which affected our decision to try the city’s top claim for paranormal activity—Malad Elementary. Built in the early 50s, the school has seen a lot of history in its time. There are no recorded deaths at the school over the time that one might imagine would lead to a haunting, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a lot of sto-

ries about what people may have experienced there in the meantime. With the gracious permission of Principal McIntyre and Superintendent Abrams, a small group of us was allowed to spend the witching hours inside the school last week to see what we could see. “Are you going to stay and investigate with us?” I asked Principal McIntyre. “Absolutely not,” she said. “First, because I don’t like staying here at night. Second, this is basically my Friday. Have

fun, and watch out for the red-headed girl in a white dress!” Among our crew—owner and publisher of the Enterprise Bryan Scott, employees Cambrie Christophersen, Sherrie Wise, and her daughters Bailey and Kelsey—everyone but me was familiar with stories of this elusive girl in white. Throughout town, an informal survey of locals makes it clear that the story is very widespread. A number of current and former school employees who wished to remain off the

record reported hearing unexplainable noises, seeing unexplainable images on the school’s cameras, and even directly seeing shapes that may or may not have been ghostly. Some staff allegedly refuse to go in certain areas after dark, or stay in the building alone. There are also persistent rumors of an “old man” figure who walks the halls at night. The old man has reportedly been seen on the school’s security cameras HAUNTED ELEMENTARY On Page 10

ElderGrow program brings therapeutic horticulture to Longterm Care As the result of a three year grant from the Idaho Helath Care Association secured by Nell J Redfield employee Cindy Dawson, the Longterm Care facility officially kicked off a new ElderGrow program based on the principles of therapeutic horticulture for its residents. A representative of the organization, Customer Success Manager Jen Oliver, was on hand to help kickstart the program. The local program director will be Katy Maughan, who was not available for the initial opening of the program. “Therapeutic horticulture is an amazing idea,” Oliver said. “It engages all the senses, and it’s been found to help reduce a lot of the negative outcomes of aging. It’s been shown to reduce dementia, increase memory and fine motor skills, among other things.” The program essentially creates an indoor structure for culturing and raising a variety of plants, many of which were turned over to the residents for initial planting. The indoor planter box allows for the growing of herbs, vegetables, starts, and a whatever plants the residents are interested in growing. Other than the provision that the plants need to be non-toxic (which means unfortunately that tomatoes—a

One Idaho angler took the top place in the state record books for an astounding 36 inch rainbow trout pulled out of Henry’s Lake in east Idaho. Hailey Thomas of Rigby landed the monster fish on October 4 after a lengthy fight. Henry’s Lake is famous for its large rainbow and cutthroat trout, though this one surprised everyone. The catch beats the previous record for a 30-inch specimen caught by Ryan Ivy in the Snake River.

Search for habitable planets narrows

A recent study of an M dwarf star planet suggests that such stars may actually not be ideally suited for the conditions necessary for organic life, as had been previously thought. M dwarf stars are the most common in the universe. Scientists had theorized that such stars might allow for earth-sized planets to exist in a zone where they could be warmed by the sun, but kept free from atmosphere destroying radiation. New data shows that the areas in which that might be possible are fewer than they had previously suspected, lowering the number of potential life-sustaining planets to a number that is still in the billions, including 1,000 sunlike stars relatively near home.

Local mascot ranked second in national contest

Scorebook Live, a website devoted to high school sports news, recently started a poll to find the best mascot in America. After over 100,000 votes, Shelley’s mascot “Boomer” is rated 2nd in the nation, with 20,958 votes. Boomer, a proud anthropomorphic potato, is of course the face of the Shelley Russets. The voting will continue until Novermber 1, and can be found at news.scorebooklive.com.

Someone walking their dog in New Plymouth Idaho (northwest of Boise) had a surprise when they encountered a three and a half foot long alligator. Idaho Fish and Game responded to the call and confirmed that the animal was indeed an alligator, raising some fairly obvious questions about how exactly it had come to be there. Alligators are not even remotely native to Idaho, and would not thrive here in the wild. F&G believes that the animal had broken loose from a private owner and made its way into the bush. They remind people that alligators are illegal to own in Idaho without a permit, and are hoping to locate where it may have originated.

Halloween on the Farm By Allison Eliason

Raise your hand if you love fall! There aren’t too many out there that don’t enjoy the festive fun of fall and Halloween Haunts. From the pumpkin walk pleasantries to the spooky tricks and candy corn treats, there is something for everyone to enjoy throughout the season. Most, if not all, of the season’s fun starts at the farm and it is thanks to the hard working farmers that we can enjoy Fall to its fullest. Before the magic of the season runs out, take a moment to park your brooms and see what harvest and Halloween fun farmers bring you. It’s not quite Halloween without picture perfect pumpkins. Some are big, some are small, some are warty, some are tall but they ALL come from the patch a farmer grew all summer long. Those hard earned pumpkins turn into jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll and even the crowd favorite, pumpkin spice. Haunted or not, it's easy to get lost in fall fun in the midst of a C Y

M K

maze. Farmer’s corn fields and straw stacks turn into eerie entertainment as folks move past the dead ends and monster misdirects to make their way out of the cursed course. Those corn stalks and straw bales serve for other holiday fun as demented decorations and thrilling flourishes. That trip to the pumpkin patch isn’t quite the same without a little hayride. Those bales, intended to feed the farmer’s critters through the winter, make a mighty fine seat for you and all your ghouls and goblins as you enjoy fall at its finest before they hit the manger in the months to come. If pumpkin spice is the flavor for fall, it can only come with its counterpart sweet apple. Those delectable fall treats come in a variety of ways to be enjoyed, thanks to those dedicated apple farmers. You can have apple pie, apple, crisp, or apple cider. You can dip ‘em, you can sauce ‘em, you can even fry ‘em! It’s not Halloween without a caramel-ed apple and apple bobbing, for sure!

Those spectualarily spooky costumes just wouldn’t happen without farmers at work. The very beginnings of every zombie, werewolf or vampire costume is with field grown cotton. Beyond the chilling disguises we love so much, cotton is used to make other decor much like spider webs and more. Before scarecrows became fashionable fall fun, they were functional must haves for farmers in the fields. As the name implies, they were intended to scare away crows and keep them from ruining crops. These days we see them more as front porch visitors than field workers, but it's thanks to farmer ingenuity that we have these seasonal icons. Trick or treating would be all tricks without farmers and their products. Those tasty treats handed out on Halloween night are full of farm field fixins. Sugar beets and sugar cane are refined into, yep, you guessed it- SUGAR, a staple of all those holiday sweets. Peanut farmers have their hand in those fall favorites like

Reeces, Butterfingers, Pay Days, and Snickers, just to name a few, while dairy farmers help make that delicious milk chocolate. It may sound especially spine-tingling, but animal byproducts play a big part of making fall fun. From the Friday night football games to the ghastly face paint and makeup, those animal inedibles are well used to support our seasonal favorite activities. The cool weather fashion favorites would never be the same without the work of farm hands as they help bring us stylish wool sweaters, scarves and caps. Leather jackets and gloves are just a few others we love to slip into as we grab fall by the horns. In the days of old, fall festivities were a celebration of the years’ harvest. While we may not celebrate in the same way or with the same purpose, the fun of the season will always be rooted in the farmer’s field and the goods they produce. Happy Halloween and Harvest Season from farmhouse to yours!

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH

Welcome to the Herd!

Special Education Director Jill Daniels, Employee of the Month Jamy Corbett, and Superintendent Jon Abrams

Oneida County School District Employee of the Month—Jamy Corbett During the School Board Meeting of October 19, Jamy Corbett was announced as the Employee of the Month. Corbett was introduced by Special Education Director Jill Daniels, who read from the following letter: “Jamy Corbett came to Oneida School District in 2017 where she worked as the secretary for the Alternative High School and an assistant to Dr Sorensen in IHLA. Jamy was an amazing asset to the alternative program. She was the loving but structured support those students needed. Within IHLA, she took every task assigned and conquered it. The following year, Jamy used her teacher certification and transferred to being a special education teacher for IHLA. She was one of four SPED teachers that year. She, along with the others, endured some really rough days and kept a resignation letter at the ready in the top drawer of her desk. Everyone pushed through and came out conquerors. She never submitted the letter. Two years later, IHLA had growing pains which created the need for additional help in administration and Jamy took on the challenge of filling those shoes. She was told her job description was “Keep Jill from quitting.” Once again, Jamy fulfilled her responsibility. Jamy is much respected by her peers and associates. She is knowledgeable about the SPED process and always seeks to gain more knowledge she can share with others. She is dependable and hard working. She does a lot of “handholding” for those who are struggling and is an amazing support to everyone. Here are some sentiments from her team members: • ‘Jamy has been a huge supportive member of

our Sped department for me, since day one. She is my go to when I have questions or I am unsure how to respond to parent questions, laws, or IHLA ‘ways.’ Jamy is one of the many heartbeats of the Sped department that help keep out program growing and moving forward.’ • ‘Jamy is so helpful and quick to respond to any questions I have. I am impressed with how much she accomplishes, especially with learning new programs this year. She leads by example and offers so much support to all staff.’ • ‘Jamy is amazing. She was and is so deserving of this honor. She has been a great help to me being a new teacher. She is always happy to help and replies to my questions quickly. She is a definite asset to our Sped team.’ • ‘Jamy is a wonderful support. She has given me so much guidance and does so without hesitation. I appreciate her quick responses and ‘onthe-ballness!’’ • ‘Jamy is dedicated to doing things right. She is not the kind of person who says, ‘Well, this is how I do it, I hope it’s ok.’ She finds the right way, and does it like that. I love that she puts so

much thought and effort into PLC and plans ahead. She has always answered questions and walked me through iTrack/Special programs reports at the drop of a hat. She is the best!’ • ‘Jamy is always so willing to help, to do anything that needs to be done. She is always happy and positive at work, and I really enjoy working with her. She is always great to step in and help when I know that her plate is full. She has a lot of knowledge and helps me know what I need to do an explains why what we do is the way it is. I know that without her support I would not be as successful as I am at doing my job!’ • ‘She is always willing to go above and beyond to help in any way she can.’ Jamy is truly the heart of the Special Education department. We appreciate her dedication, hard work, endless hours, listening ear, and never-ending support. Because of her, our teachers are able to provide great services for the students in our Special Education Program." Sincerely, Jill Daniels”

Author Carla Kelly Visit Library Award winning author, Carla Kelly, was a speaker at the Oneida County Library on Wednesday, October 19. Carla described how she became a writer, beginning with her slight stammer when a child. Because she knew she did not speak like her classmates, she listened to how they said things and tuned into differences in voice inflection and vocabulary. Later in high school, her journalism teacher, of whom Carla was terribly intimidated, told her she could become a writer when she turned in a perfect paper. Throughout her life, Carla has observed people as she has lived in many places in the United States, including now in Idaho Falls. Carla’s college degree is in history, which has influenced her writing of over 40 books and

more short stories than she can count. While she is probably best known for her romance novels, Carla’s first love is historical fiction. Carla said that to write historical fiction, the author has to make the fictional characters “run up against” historical figures and events so as to make the fictional people seem as real as the historical people and places. Using her own books as examples, Carla told about creating Sergeant Major Ramsey Stiles and having him meet President Theodore Roosevelt at the dedication of the entrance arch on the north side of Yellowstone National Park in 1903. Courting Carrie in Wonderland tells the story of the Army’s supervision of Yellowstone through the eyes of Sergeant Major Stiles and other fictional characters that

interact with the Wylie Camping Company, a real company that provided an outdoor camping experience for early visitors to Yellowstone. She also used her two historical fiction novels about the mine explosion disaster in Scofield, Utah, on May 1, 1900, that killed over 200 Welsh and Finnish miners to further explain how she used the real-life Jesse Knight to make her fictional characters, Della Anders and Welsh miner Owen Davis, seem real. Carla’s latest work is comprised of two shorter stories combined into one book that is about World War II. Until We Meet Again is based on real-life stories that Carla solicited through Facebook from people who told her how their parents met during World War II. Carla

ELEMENTARY NEWS SEPTEMBER We are excited to welcome students back to school this year. September has us quickly back to work and fun. We have enjoyed our new classes and new expectations. WE were super excited that the Malad PTO brought us the magician Jason Fun to our school. He wowed us with Stem magic. He connected for us how tricks can many times be explained with science, technology, engineering, and math. Many students were invited to the stage to volunteer with the magic show and students were sent home with many tricks to wow their parents. Each grade is again working on a specific goal. We call these PIG goals (Pretty Important Goals) in our school. The kids and teachers work hard each month to achieve this goal.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Go Republicans!

Dear Editor, In July of this year, Oneida County Republicans sent five delegates to Twin Falls, Idaho, representing the Republican Vote in our county and were to add to the building of the platform of the Idaho’s Republican Party. It wasn’t an easy selection of “delegates” and several who were voted on by the Precinct Chairs were not able to attend; therefore, alternates were selected. That is where the problem began! 1. Two delegates are listed as Adam Bundy’s campaign managers for Oneida County for this year. 2. Another is the Vice Chair of Oneida’s Republican Party and posts an Ammon Bundy sign in his yard. 3. One posts on facebook regularly and expresses disdain for those who vote for Little and Bedke claiming they would not be good members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints if they did so. 4. One stood before precinct chairs and asked before giving the required speech, “What am I running for ?….” 5. The fifth delegate

is new to the county and no one seems to know too much about his allegiance. My point is, did we really expect that Oneida County’s Vote would be anything other than in support of the Independent Ticket, Ammon Bundy. Out of the five ballots Oneida County would cast, 4 of them were sure bets for Bundy; however, Bundy was not directly on the ballot! What was on the ballot was the election of the State Republican Chair and it was not going to be for Tom Luna. The Bundyites showed up in force and Oneida County’s were not the only

ones. They joined others across the state who had the same ulterior motive: Oust the Republican Luna and support Dorothy Moon. DONE! One more grip on the power control of a subversive movement riding in disguise of the Republican Party. Now, my call to action: BE WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE and True Republicans show out in force at the polls and vote these people and their archaic philosophy out of power! LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD AND VOTE in the coming November election. Go Republicans, Mary Alice Telford, COCR

These are 3 main types of diabetes: Type 1 (often appears in childhood), Gestational (occurs during pregnancy), and Type 2 (most common type and develops later in life). If you consistently experiencing 1 or more of the following symptoms, it could be beneficial to discuss with your doctor. • Constantly thirsty, unable to quench thirst • Frequent urination, especially when it keeps you up during the night • Blurry Vision • Excess feelings of hunger • Feeling tired or fatigued Taking good care of yourself, being on the move (exercising), and eating a healthy balanced diet can help maintain blood sugars throughout the day and help battle fatigue. Two main areas of focus to maintain blood sugars whether you are diabetic or not are to consume: 1. Complex Carbohydrates a. Whole grains – wheat bread, brown rice, steel cut oatmeal, etc. (less processed) b. Ancient grains – quinoa, wild rice, chia, barely 2. Protein rich foods/snacks a. Meats, canned fish, cottage cheese, yogurt, milk, peanut butter, eggs, beans, tofu, etc.

Hadley started shaving her legs a while back. She also wanted to shave her arms and thought I was up in the night when I told her that really wasn’t an option. So, obliterating hair has been on her mind and was the topic of conversation at the dinner table last night. “What other parts of my body can I shave?” was her opening question. “Well, your arm pits when hair starts appearing there,” I reply. Brett looked up from his spaghetti, while Grandpa Brent just looked down at his. “That makes sense,” Hadley concurred. Then she hit me with this, “What about those hairs on your chin? When do you start

shaving those?” Brent looked up on that one! Dinner conversations can be brutal. “I don’t think you will need to worry about that for a long time, like until you are a grandma and maybe never. Not everyone gets chin hair.” That launched us into a discussion on genetics and the odds of growing chin hair. Her Grandma Mary doesn’t have chin hair, and Hadley wanted to know what her odds were. Gregor Mendel probably had a more complicated formula involving dominant and recessive genes, but I just went with the 50/50 split. That got her thinking. Thinking about what makes her the person she is. We all have

some quirky genetics. Some things we like and some we aren’t too sure about, but we don’t let that interfere with building a Good Life… not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin we don’t! In fact, I kind of hope she sprouts a few of those chin hairs down the road…bet she will think of me every time she plucks!

COUNTY COMMISSION MEETING 10/24

Outdoor Lighting for Event Center

Extension Educator Sawyer Fonnesbeck spoke to the Commissioners about the outdoor lighting for the Fairgrounds/Event Center. He had been asked to get a full bid for the outdoor lighting project. As of Friday afternoon, Fonnesbeck had not received any bids for the project. The two options on the table are to 1) replace solely the lighting on the existing poles and 20 replace the entire electrical system, the poles, and fixtures. Commissioner Christophersen raised the question about whether the existing infrastructure had a reasonable lifespan left, or whether it might be more prudent to look at replacing it for future functionality. As a result of the new land purchase related to the Fairgrounds, Fonnesbeck was hopeful that any new wiring for RV accommodation would be installed in a new area, rather than the existing light poles. Fonnesbeck also spoke to the commission about a series of programs designed for winter activities. During the winter season, the 4-H clubs meet much less frequently, and Sawyer would like to see a more consistent level of activity for kids during all seasons. He requested the Dog 4-H club permission to hold practices and events on the Fairgrounds and Event Center during the winter. Emily Rossow has volunteered to oversee the cleanliness and suitability of the environment for the club. The commissioners expressed the concern that cleanliness of the indoor arena area was an ongoing issue that the commission was looking

to improve. The commission felt that provisionally, they would be willing to see how the dogs were managed before making a longer term final decision. Fonnesbeck reaffirmed his commitment to making sure the 4-H programs were devoted to thoroughly cleaning the area after such uses. The commission decided to delay the decision until later in the meeting when they had had a chance to discuss the scheduled agenda item on Event Center cleanliness. After the later discussion of some of the cleanliness issues, the commission spoke with Kelly Sorensen. Emily Rossow has expressed to Sorensen that the situation would be tightly regulated, and only involve advanced trainers who were capable of exercising a high level of trained control over their animals. The animals would also be restricted to a prescribed area of the Event Center floor, and not other areas of the facility. The commission moved to allow the 4-H dog program to use the facility with a two month trial period, and the understanding that the dogs would be leashed and well-regulated.

value and the tax value in error was determined to be $627.40, which the commission moved to convert to a tax credit forward on the total tax bill.

Firemen’s Ball

Justin Schwartz approached the commission about potentially having the rental fee for the Event Center waived for the fireman’s ball. The Fireman’s Ball serves as the primary fundraising event for the volunteer fire department for the year. The commission had recently passed a policy exempting many programs, including mostly not-for-profit organizations, from fees for the use of the Event Center. The policy allows for other organizations to request such waivers from the commission directly. The commission’s primary concern was with the cleanup responsibilities for the waived organizations. It was determined that the Fire Department should be added to the exempted list of organizations, partly as a result of the fire department’s willingness to provide event space for a number of county functions throughout the year. Schwartz also spoke to the commission about whether there was any ARPA funding available to purchase radios, which would allow the department to communicate more efficiently with the sheriff’s new radio system. The commission reported that the ARPA funding for such projects had been exhausted. The commission and representatives of the fire department discussed various avenues for requesting the funding outside of the ARPA funds. The commission requested a more detailed

Tax Cancellation

Treasurer Leigh Love spoke to the commission about a request for tax cancellation. The applicant had a jump in taxes on his property for one year, 2020, which increased his tax burden by more than 300%. The Treasurer feels that the 2020 taxes were likely the result of an error which misidentified the parcel of land in question as having an improvement on it which it did not. The difference between the land

financial itemization, and suggested that it might be able to find some source of money to help with the purchase, in addition to support from the fire district and the emergency planning office.

Paragon Agreement

Dianna Dredge and Rhonda Neal spoke to the commission about the contract for Stephen Freiberger to be retained as the county’s engineer. The engineer will be working on a number of projects throughout the county, including grant applications, project supervision, studies, classes, and a variety of other services. The Road and Bridge and PZ representatives both expressed their satisfaction with the way Paragon Consulting has led the two groups to coordinate more closely than in the past on joint projects. The commission was concerned that the contract did not specify an hourly rate. Commissioner Lewis also expressed his impression that Freiberger brought significant value to the community. Later during the meeting, Paragon provided the hourly billing rate for services of roughly $150/hr. The consulting agreement between the county and Paragon Consulting for engineering services was approved by the commission.

Backup Generator for Road and Bridge

Dianna Dredge spoke to the commission about the department’s desire for a backup generator, primarily to run the belt stacker for sand, which is essential to road clearing. The department is currently renting a generator for $250/day. A 35kw generator can be purchased for $40,000,

which would be the ideal purchase. Other alternatives range from $25,000$38,000, but will not be available until spring. The requested generator would be able to run 90% of the shop’s needs, according to Dredge, and would have the added benefit of being portable so that it could be used for other tasks around the county. There are several used equipment sales coming up soon, at which Dredge feels there may be some equipment that would serve the needed purposes. Commissioner Eliason expressed the belief that a new generator would be better in the long run. A version of the same generator that the department is currently renting can be purchased for $25,000, and may be available as early as February. The commission was concerned about the additional costs necessary to hook up and wire the generator. The commission delayed the decision about the purchase until after an estimate for the other surrounding costs could be provided.

Resolution to Open Budget/Transfer PILT

Lon Colton explained the system by which the budget is opened after it is passed, but before it can be finalized for the fiscal year. A number of departments exceeded their initial budgets for holiday/ overtime pay during last year’s holiday season, as well as essential worker pay and other unforeseen expenses. Other expenses throughout the year also led to some differences between the initial budgets and the final numbers. Money from PILT is often used to supplement the justice fund

and other areas within the budget which ended up with cash shortages.

Event Center Rental Concerns Commissioner

Christophersen raised the issue of the Event Center cleanliness. During a recent public event at the Event Center, the advance team for the event felt that the level of cleanliness was not sufficiently prepared for the event. There have been reports of other events with similar complaints about the cleanliness of the facility on other occasions. The fall and winter are noted as the most problematic seasons, with accumulations of leaves, mud, and water throughout the building and entrances. Tory Richardson, Building Inspector, was very recently put in charge of the maintenance of county buildings, but the duties related to the position have not been fully clarified. The commission felt that coordinating a more specific plan for the maintenance as a part of those responsibilities was an important next step. The potential for a cleaning deposit requirement was discussed, as well as an upfront rental fee. Commissioner Lewis felt that it was important that a financial payment should be required in order to secure the event for the desired event, rather than paid after the fact.

EMPG grant acceptance

The EMPG grant goes partly toward the funding of the county’s Emergency Planner, as well as a number of projects throughout the year. The grant was accepted and approved by the commission.

5 YEARS AGO (2017)

Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital (NJRMH) has been approved as a Level IV Trauma Center by the State of Idaho Time Sensitive Emergency (TSE) Council. This means that the hospital has demonstrated an ability to provide high quality trauma care in emergencies. The State of Idaho began the Level IV designation process with a focus on rural hospitals to help improve patient outcomes for one of the top five causes of death in Idaho: Trauma. Participation is voluntary. As part of the application process, State auditors completed a thorough inspection of Nell J. Redfield Memorial Hospital and the emergency room. The application process was overseen by Karren Edwards. Chief Nursing Officer. She adds, "All of our RNs working in the ER are certified in the Trauma Nurse Core Course. The TSE does not require this course, however NJRMH has had the foresight to institute this training as an added resource for our nurses. All of our medical providers are certified in the Advanced Trauma Life Support Course."

Farrell Williams left Saturday to return to San Francisco after spending an 18-day leave with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Farrell Williams. He started a cruise of the Pacific area Monday morning. Oneida County received during the past week $34,756 as its share of the second installment of the state’s 1957-58 school aid program. Loren Talbot won the prize offered by the Wheel Inn for the deer with the widest antler spread. His trophy, measuring 33”, was shot on Second Creek on Oxford Mountain.

auditorium. Two of the top teams in the intermountain junior college circuit will meet at Malad on Armistice Day, when Snow College and Ricks play in a game scheduled by the Malad Junior Chamber of Commerce. Several former Malad high athletes will be in the Snow College line-up and the squad is coached by Jim Williams of Malad. Former Malad High students on the Snow squad are Glen Vaughn, Dan Williams, Dean Parry, Ed Williams, Glen Gibson, Sheldon Jones, Robert B. Williams, Dean Clark and Don Williams. Marking “the beginning of a new era in Naval weapons,” the United States Navy fired a captured German V-2 rocket from the flight deck of the 45,000-ton aircraft carrier USS Midway. This was the first time in history such a bombardment rocket has been launched from ships or a moving platform. The primary purpose of the experiment, held at sea several hundred miles off the East Coast of the United States, was to ascertain if large bombardment rockets could be fired off modern aircraft carriers without modifications affecting flight operations. The rocket traveled six miles and exploded.

Haunted Theater at the IronDoor Playhouse

This past weekend The IronDoor Playhouse presented Haunted Theater. A horrifying tour through dungeons and passageways filled with terror and death! Directed by Ada Campbell, her team created a multi-level adventure for all ages. The main level of the theater was turned into a kid- friendly, spooky adventure with trick or treating stations throughout. Perfect for smaller children, and those who don't wish to be terrified. Beginning in a cornfield, guests proceeded past a ghost town, then a cemetery, where they crossed a bridge over a swamp, and into a ferry forest. From here they entered the grand opera house and were delighted by a scene from phantom, a mommy in her tomb, Dr. Frankenstein and his monster, passing into a haunted attic leading through a bat filled cave. Emerging into pirates cove, they then ended their adventure in Diagon Alley. Guests who wished to experience the terror of the basement were then directed back through the adventure to the creepy stairs leading downward. We don't want to give it all away, but in the basement, gutsy adventurers saw scenes such as a haunted nursery, a blood covered hallway, a mad scientist in his lab, and much more! Filled with the screams of tortured souls, lots of fog and flashing lights, the basement is not for the faint of heart. Cast and Crew consisted of: Director Ada Campbell. Assistant directors: Jeni Sperry (who designed most of the main level adven-

ture), Travis and Donna Whipple, Shannon Worrell, and Dalton White. Our main level cast includes: Kaleigh Worrell, Doris Young, William Whipple, Maren Sperry, Caroline Whipple, Ella Sperry, Jaxom Whipple, Sarah Young, Nicole White, Shannon Worrell, Jeni Sperry, Travis Whipple, and Donna Whipple. Basement cast includes: Edson Whipple, Alivia Waldron, Charlie Briscoe, Makiya Shulz, Shandie Facer, Dalton White, Randy Worrell, Jaylynn Green, Kris White, Alex White, and Conor Worrell. Taylor Hess is helping with ticket sales. Throughout the month of October, the volunteers met almost

every night to design and build walls, creating scenes and chambers, working right up until the doors opened Friday night. More spooky details were added prior to Saturdays showing and the crew hopes to have even more added before they open again this Friday night. The Haunted Theater will be open Friday the 28th, Saturday the 29th and Halloween Monday the 31st. 7-9 p.m. each night. We hope Malad will enjoy all the fun Halloween events in town, including the Straw Maze, the Trunk or Treat at Thomas Market, and our Haunted Theater!

Malad’s Co-op gets the spooky treatment

If you’ve been downtown lately, you might have stopped to marvel at the co-op window displays, which are decked out for the season. Thanks to Melanie Coleman, Becky Cox, and Chris Jensen, the downtown streets have a bit of extra Halloween flair this year. As a service to the community, the three have filled the inside space of the co-op building with a series of tableaux perfect for the season. In the main co-op window, a series of skeletons are gathered to relax and watch a

24-hour loop of classic Munsters episodes. On the south side of the building, a young skeleton mother does her best to get her kids to eat their Frankenberries. Farther down the street, a series of ghosts protrude into the outside of the windows. The entire project was constructed out of materials acquired and repurposed by Coleman, Cox and Jensen. A thank you to all three goes out for making Halloween a more fun and spooktacular time of year!

Museum window honors Oneida County Veterans It is worth a trip downtown to see the Oneida County Museum windows, which are decorated to honor Oneida County Veterans. In the side window are several displays, one telling the story of friends Glen Vaughan and John Erramouspe who both served in World War II, and the two unopened bottles of beer. Another display tells the story of Elizabeth Ann Bywater Jones. During World War I, she was made chairman for the knitting for the soldiers. Come see the display and read her story! A placard explains The American Gold Star Mothers, Inc., an organization of American mothers who lost sons or daugh-

ters in service of the United States Armed Forces, and a second placard with a touching poem by Sharon Ann Harris entitled “Your Star Has Turned to Gold”. In the front windows are displayed uniforms of Oneida County veterans Elmer (Bud) Evans, Army; Elbert Sweeten, Navy; George Parry Jones, Marines; Gene Caldwell, Army, Korean War. Placards also provide the numbers of deaths, wounded and missing from World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan. The window display will coordinate perfectly with the plans of Troop 1776, the

sure to get your light bulbs! They can be purchased at Malad City offices or from Tony McClain. The committee decorating

the windows were museum board members Sharon Harris, Janice Vaughan, Dotty Evanson, Elizabeth Kent and Hailey Sweeten.

AfterSchool Program keeps kids busy As the result of a grant, School District 351 is able to offer After School activities to students from Malad Elementary and Middle Schools, which allows them to catch up on any homework they need to complete, as well as engage in a number of activities to socialize, learn, and simply enjoy some extra time in school outside of classwork. Crystal Kimberling is the district director for After School Programs, Paula Hannah is the site coordinator for the elementary school, and Jackie Stayner is the site coordinator for the middle school. At the elementary school, a number of teachers volunteered to

stay after the closing bell to work with students and provide additional help with homework. Whether students needed help with assignments or just understanding some of the concepts involved in that week’s instruction, teachers and administrators were on hand to answer questions and add on to inclass instruction. At the elementary school, students begin with an outdoor activity, then spend the first 45 minutes working on homework assignments. The last 45 minutes of the session involve games, activities, and a chance to socialize with other kids outside of school time. During the same ses-

sions, the Library and Extension Office provide a range of activities, including reading hour, for middle school students. The program includes partnerships with the Oneida County Library and the local 4-H and Extension office. Two groups of elementary school students visit the library in alternating shifts every two weeks, while the middle school visits the library once a month. The elementary visits the Extension office once a month. Teachers and librarians are assisted by volunteer students from Malad High School, who work with students on projects and answer questions during the events.

The Afterschool program gives students a chance to catch up and schoolwork and enjoy time with other students This week’s library session started with a craft project, and then turned the time over to Jeni Sperry for a read-

ing of the H.G. Wells classic “The Time Machine.” The sessions are a great way for students to spend productive and

educational time after the school day officially ends.

Sherrie Wise makes the face we all did when we saw this the electronic thrum of the giant wall-mounted routers along the halls, and the ever-present hiss of the heating system, there were noises that we agreed as a team we had no good explanation for. Cambrie, Bailey, and Kelsey all reported hearing the sound of a chair moving in a distant hallway. There was a certain amount of discussion among them as to whether it was scraping, being pulled, or something else, but it was agreed by all to have been…something. Numerous attempts at communicating with any available spirits netted mixed results. Bailey instructed us on a means of using a flashlight as a sounding board for any free floating apparitions. By balancing a mag light

between the on and off positions on the floor, the light can allegedly be used by a spirit to respond to questions. On the balance, our attempts were not successful. However, there was one distinct incident when the flashlight lit up at the same time as a loud knocking was heard at the back door of the stage area after a question to any potential visitors. Some argument about what exactly had happened were undertaken, but it was finally assigned to the “maybe” pile. The most provocative incident of the night happened, as you might expect, almost immediately after midnight. Sitting in the auditorium in the dark, the girls emphatically agreed that they had seen a shadowy shape as-

cend the stairway under the emergency lighting. Although it was agreed that Bryan had gone to look for a bathroom around the same time, there was enough of a gap in the timeline that it also made the “maybe” pile. While we did not end up with any definitive proof of the afterlife, the red-headed girl in a white dress, the old man, or any else of the extra-normal variety, we did all come away with a strong understanding of why no one wants to stay in the building overnight. As we were deciding whether to call it a night, the clear sound of a chair scraping across a distant floor cut through the auditorium. And that’s when we left.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING 10/19 District 351 School Board met last week for a regularly scheduled meeting. After the approval of the agenda, the first order of business was the swearing in of new board member Shane Howard. Kirk Willie resigned from the school board as a result of a family member’s recent hiring on to the district payroll. After the approval of last month’s minutes, Jamy Corbett was recognized as the Employee of the Month (see full story in this week’s edition). There was no public input during the comments section of the meeting. Principal Sarah McIntyre of Malad Elementary School reported that this week will be busy, as the school will be observing Halloween events on Thursday, including the traditional parade past the hospital beginning at 1:20 p.m. The school will also be observing Red Ribbon Week this week, as well as the “Great Idaho Shakeout!” which prepares students for the event of an earthquake. The school shared test results from the first trimester, which were lower than the last trimester of last year. All of the principals joined in explaining that that was usually

the case, as new student intake and the summer gap generally resulted in lower performance at the beginning of the school year. It was also noted that for many of the youngest students, it was their first official test, and designed to create a baseline. Principal McIntyre also reported on the PTO Halloween Carnival, which was a great success. While firm numbers were not gathered of attendance, it was universally believed to have been the most well-attended to date, and brought in a significant amount of money for the PTO, which relies on the proceeds for its yearly operations. Malad Middle School Principal Robert Hannah explained that MMS would be holding themed Halloween days all week. “I’m not going to try to limit these kids to just one day of Halloween,” Hannah laughed. He also reported that if there were one thing he would like to improve for the year it was attendance. Although attendance if often an issue, the COVID year has somewhat aggravated attendance concerns across the district. In fact, IHLA is also considering instituting changes to its attendance policy, according to IHLA director Terri Sorensen.

A new document was created for student membership in school clubs. The form provides parents with information about the bylaws and nature of the clubs their kids are seeking to join. This would not apply to students 18 or over. The track around the MHS football field are reported to be completed, other than the final painting. The greenhouse on the west side of the high school building has been completed. Several students representing a potential MHS Powerlifting club approached the board about granting them club status. After reviewing the submitted bylaws, it was determined that the club needed to more specifically outline its formation documents before the board would approve the club, though the members felt it seemed like a worthwhile organization. Some issues of what the membership requirements and liability issues were remained to be clarified. Jon Abrams asked the board for permission to form a Policy Review Committee to undertake periodic reviews of district policy. The Committee would be formed from students, board members, teachers, and administrators,

and would look at policies that may be in need of updating, revision, or additional clarification. After some discussion about how the committee would function and interact with the board, Abrams was given permission to begin its formation. The graduation policy for the upcoming year was approved by the board, which primarily streamlines the process for applications for early graduation. The policy regarding visitors to District Property (4420) was also approved. This policy more clearly outlines policies regarding those on national ofNew School Board member Shane Howard was fender registries.

Bugstravaganza brings the creepy-crawlies to Malad

The bugs are back! Last Friday brought Jason Thomas and his collection of bugs—insects, arachnids, and others—back to the Oneida County Event Center to the delight of kids and the horror of some parents. The Bugstravaganza, a grant-funded event, brought in a number of extension educators and multi-legged visitors in for an educational experience highlighting the wide and diverse world of bugs. Jason Thomas, extension educator from Minidoka County and son of Larry Thomas, spear-headed the event. Thomas was largely responsible for introducing kids and their accompanying parents to the Curly-Hair and Pink-toe tarantulas, which were undoubtedly the biggest draws of the afternoon. Thomas spent much of the afternoon with a long line of kids who wanted to hold the animals, and parents who had to be coaxed into it. As he explained, tarantulas are technically venomous, but rarely cause any kind of painful bite to people. Sawyer Fonnesbeck, Oneida county’s own extension educator, was in charge of the African Giant millipede (or shongololo). The African Giant is the largest existing millipede, with an aver-

age number of 256 legs, though that number can change with each molting. While intimidating in a shower or kitchen cupboard, the millipede is generally harmless. Its primary method of defense is curling into a small defensive coil. It can, however, secrete an irritant from its pores that can affect the skin or eyes. Luckily, the millipede who attended the event on Friday remained well-behaved and kept its fluids to itself. Kelly Sorensen, also of the Oneida County Extension office, was in charge of the western Hercules Beetle. The beetle is a species of rhinoceros beetle that primarily lives on dead and decaying matter. The species is sexually dimorphic, which means that the males and females have different body designs. The one on hand at the Bugstravaganza was a male, which means that it had the large horns associated with the rhinoceros beetle family. Sherry Moeller, of the Oneida County office, had a set of Death Feigning Beetles, also known as desert ironclads. The beetles mimic death when confronted with danger, which of course makes them difficult to demonstrate to large

groups. At least a couple of them remained frisky throughout the afternoon, however, and kids were delighted to watch them “come back to life” after a period of time. Retired extension educator Rauhn Panting had possibly the hardest task of the day, convincing people to handle the Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, which is one of the largest cockroaches in existence. The hissing is caused by air being forcefully expelled through spiracles on its fourth body segment. Most insects make noise by rubbing their wings or legs together, making it unusual in terms of its ability to create sound. The roaches can hiss for a number of different reasons, from communication to mating, to aggression. The roaches on hand were on the whole fairly hissless, which is probably for the best. The Bugstravaganza is an event that the Extension office is happy to present as an outreach and educational opportunity, primarily for the younger set. Jason Thomas’ primary work throughout the year involves research and discussion of the ways insects and bugs interact with agricultural concerns across the state.

Volleyball

By Brylee Oglesbee, Katie Coatney, Marinn Brown and Kylee Tanner

The Malad Dragon volleyball team had their district tournament on Wednesday against West Side and Bear Lake. They lost to West Side in four sets. They fought hard but were super tired. Right after that game they played Bear Lake and they beat them in three sets. On Thursday they played West Side again for the chance to take district but lost in

four sets, taking second place. Then on Saturday they had a state playin game against Firth. They played super good and fought hard, winning in three sets. Camia Bean stated, “this season, how can I even describe it? This season and team have contributed to one of the best experiences I've ever had. It has been amazing to see how we have transformed from the beginning of the season to now. Not only have we grown individually, but we have also grown as a team. Throughout the season we have been able to show that we can compete and now, we are ready to show that at State.” The volleyball teams play in Shelley for the state games on the 28th and 29th. Show the volleyball girls some support

and go watch them at state!

WRESTLING

The Knights wrestling team have started their season. “We have a great team with wrestlers of all skill levels, some are just starting this year and learning the sport while others have been competing for several years. It is fun to watch these boys help each other and grow as athletes” The Knights kicked off the season with a takedown tournament against all of the other schools in our districts. The purpose of a takedown tournament is to help kids build their confidence and learn the basics of wrestling. Wednesday the Knights dueled with Soda Springs, American Falls and Grace in American falls. The Knights did a great job and wrestled really well against the other schools. Thursday the Knights C Y

Malad Ends Football Season against West Side After a season plagued by injuries, the Dragons ended their season on a 6-60 loss to the West Side Pirates last Friday. Despite a lot of play on both sides of the ball, especially from players who stepped up to fill for unexpected injuries, the Dragons had a frustrating season, ending with a 1-7 record overall, and a 0-4 record in the conference. Over the eight weeks of the season, a number of Malad players put forth their all for

the team. Kole Willie, Brady Showell, Ryan Hubbard, Sawyer Poulsen, Braylen Tripp, Hesston Harrison, Zade Scott, Jaden Ward, Joe Daniels, Hunter Wray, Blaiz Wright, Dylan Moss, Roper Higley, Mayson Brees, Timmy Jensen, Semaj Walker, Blake Williams, Caleb Williams, Cael Seamons, Preston Bird, and Thad Hawkes should all be congratulated for their hard work this season.

and exciting for the middle school team while they learn the basics and develop their wrestling skills.” The Knights have a busy week ahead of them, they travel to

Snake River on Wednesday, Bear Lake on Thursday and head back to Idaho Falls on Saturday for the Bonneville Duals.

VOLLEYBALL

After a long, hard fought road, the Lady Dragon volleyball team has their ticket to the state games following the District 5 double elimination tournament held in Malad over the previous week. The MHS team played a series of five matches as they played teams from Aberdeen, West Side, Bear Lake and Firth. Malad’s opening game was played Saturday, October 15 against the Aberdeen Tigers. The Dragons easily swept the match, winning the three games 25-8, 25-4, and 25-7 to advance to their next match. Adley Kimberling stood out from the service line as she alone tallied up seven aces against the Tigers. In the back court, libero Brylee Oglesbee covered the court earning 14 digs to lead the team for the night. With their win over Aberdeen, the Lady Dragons were set to face off against the West Side Pirates. The two teams had played each other several times throughout the season but their game Wednesday, October 19, was sure to be a tough match. Malad jumped

out to a quick lead in the opening game. The Lady Dragons worked to keep every ball alive as the Pirates kept attacking, taking the win with a score of 25-20. Throughout the night, Riglee Peterson stepped up on the back row and at the net as she led the team in digs with 19 and added 17 kills. West Side came out in the second game intense, focused and driven to win, stealing the second game, 15-25. Unfortunately, that drive was kept alive as West Side won the final two games of the match. Throughout the games, the Lady Dragons would pull ahead and seem to take control of the game and then just as quickly, the Pirates were back again, inching past the Malad lead. Directly following their loss against West Side, the Lady Dragons were set to play Bear Lake. Despite having already played four intense games with West Side, Malad was up to the task and quickly defeated the Bears in three games. By no means was it an easy game, but the Lady Dragons never gave up and continued to

push to the end. Outside hitter Hallie Horsley led the team with 18 kills, followed by Peterson with 9, Kimberling 5, Camia Bean and Abby Rosenquist with 2 each and Izzy Haycock with 1. Defeating Bear Lake put the Lady Dragons back on track and in the championship game Thursday night, to battle it out against West Side. There was no doubt that Malad would have to play at the very top of their game to win over the Pirates. From the very first serve, the two teams competed for every point, switching leads on and off throughout the night. West Side took the first game, leading 21-25. The Lady Dragons answered back in the second game, winning 26-24. West Side wasn’t giving up and managed to win the third (21-25) and fourth (20-25) games to win the match and come out as the District 5 champions. With the Lady Dragons second place finish, came a final opportunity to win a spot in the Idaho State 2A Volleyball tournament in a play-in

match against the Firth Cougars in Pocatello on Saturday, October 22. Malad had previously played Firth in the regular season in a tri-meet along with Grace High School in Malad. Having bested the Cougars before, the Lady Dragons were confident that they could once again, come out on top. Malad came out Saturday afternoon, ready to play and ready to win. Hitters across the net stepped up to attack, as Kimberling set up their game against the Cougars. Middle hitter Bean moved across the front line well as she not only brought in 8 kills, but also 11 digs and 6 blocks. From the outside, Horsley had 24 kills with her counterpart, Peterson, bringing in another 15. It was this sort of intensity that led Malad to win the first game, 25-22. The Lady Dragons pushed on in the second game, covering the court as the Cougars refused to give up. Peterson tracked the ball well to earn 28 digs with Horsley and Journie Tovey passing up another 26 digs each helping Malad

win the second game, 25-20. Down two games to none, Firth wasn’t ready to give in yet and rallied back in the third game to win, 22-25. The last few points lasted several minutes as each team was able to keep the ball alive and bring the attack over and over again. To no surprise, the fourth game was a dog fight to the end, but through it all the Lady Dragons came away with the victory. The final set featured long rallies, big digs and unpassable hits. The MHS volleyball team watched their opponents closely and found ways to tip the ball to the open spot, push it to the deep corners and force the Cougars to send the ball out. After setting her teammates across the net all game, Kimberling took a hit for herself as Firth sent an overpass Malad’s way, earning the kill and bringing her team to game point. With Oglesbee up to serve, the Lady Dragons were set to receive what they hoped would be their final rally. In what seemed like one simple and powerful play, Pe-

terson dug the Cougar hit, sending a great pass to Kimberling who set the ball high and outside for Horsley to come in swinging for the kill and the winning point of the game. With their win over Firth, the Lady Dragons advance on to the Idaho State Volleyball Tournament set to be played in Shelley, Idaho October 28 and 29. The team’s first game will be against West Side Friday morning. Looking ahead to the state games, Coach Camie Tripp shared, “We are excited to be back at state and we’re going to work hard to take our game to the next level.” Coach Tripp continued that although the team didn’t play their best through the district tournament, they still competed well and that gives them confidence that they will be strong contenders in their upcoming matches. Leading up to the state tournament, they plan to address those weak areas so they can come back stronger than ever as they meet up with West Side.

CROSS COUNTRY Malad High School had the honor of hosting the District V Cross Country Meet on the beautiful fall afternoon of Wednesday, October 19. The Dragons played host for both the 2A schools- Malad, Soda Springs, West Side, and Bear Lake, and 1A schools- Rockland and Grace. The runners from the six schools put it all on the line to see which teams and individuals would qualify to move to compete at the Idaho State Cross Country Meet. The meet began with Women’s 5000 M run with both 1A and 2A runners racing together. The course began atop Malad’s soccer field, wound down and around the track and up onto the South Cherry Creek Woodruff Road. The runners then went across the fairgrounds and back again before returning up the road, over to the soccer field where they ran the length of the field and found the finish line part way up the far side of the field. As the racers came into view of the finish line, it was Malad’s Cally Coleman leading the way and taking first place with a time of 20:41.08. Teammate and sister, Cortlyn Coleman followed just seconds behind in 4th place with Brynlee Bastian coming in not long after in 8th place. The places and team points were tallied up as the racers continued to run in across the finish line. Malad was hoping for a victory over Soda Springs who had won the district race the previous fifteen years, but unfortunately fell short by just four points as they trailed Soda with a total of 37 points. The C Y

top two teams, Soda Springs and Malad, qualified to race at the state meet, as well as the top ten individual racers. Following the women’s race, the MHS Men’s team took to the course. Brycen Talbot led the way for the Malad Men’s team, taking fifth place with a time of 18:01.81. Baylor Bean and Boston Burbidge set new personal records as they raced the course, earning 13th and 18th place respectively. The Dragon race team trailed behind Soda Springs and West Side with a total of 77 points to earn third place. Talbot, with his top ten finish, alone qualified to race at the state meet. As every race and every course is run differently, the Malad Cross Country coaches could only hope that their runners would give it their all and do their very best. After the races were run, Coaches Tia Talbot, Tylee Skinner and Erin Hawkes
