Green lightbulbs for Operation Green Light to honor Veterans across the county were distributed over the weekend at several locations, including Central Sinclair and Thomas Market.

Delphi, Indiana is a small town about 75 miles north of Indianapolis. In 2017, two teenaged girls were abducted and murdered along a hiking trail. The case has been closely followed across the country in the intervening years, becoming a subject of dozens of true crime podcasts and television programs. The suspect, Richard Allen of Delphi, has been charged with the murders of Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14.

State Controller investigating “Don’t Vote” signs Signs which have recently sprung up around the state bearing the phrase “Don’t Vote” and a QR code are under examination by the state controller. The QR code directs visitors to sites which promote the campaign of Ammon Bundy. Whether the sings are connected to the campaign itself or not is unclear, and the issue is actually the reason for the controller’s investigation. Campaign signs in Idaho are required by law to provide information about how they were funded, and whether they constitute a direct campaign expense or an “in-kind donation”. The expense should show up on the campaign’s records by November 10, if properly filed.

HOW IDAHO RANKS Malad's costumed kids take to the streets for the annual parade

Halloween Events across the county MES Halloween Parade

The signal event for many kids in Malad for the Halloween season is the parade from the school to the hospital and back. This year, the weather made for a perfect day for kids to show off their costumes to friends, family, and the public at large. While state health restrictions made it impossible, once again, for students to visit the inside of the longterm care facility, students took a path around the hospital so that residents could still see the display through the windows of the facility. As always, a wide array of costume choices, from the classic witches, ghosts, and pirates, as well as the more contemporary were in full force. As the students giggled and played their way through the parade, parents smiled on from the parade route, snapping as many pictures as possible.

Pumpkin Contest

MES also hosted a pumpkin contest, sponsored by Thomas Electric and Farm Bureau, and organized by Becky Cox and Elsie Maughan. The contest, which has been very popular with kids in the past, was brought back in full force for this year’s Halloween. See separate story and pictures in this edition.

Scales and Tails Visits MES

In conjunction with Halloween week, Utah’s Scales and Tails founder Shane Richins visited Malad Elementary for a presentation to MES second graders. If you don’t think second graders care about lizards, spiders, turtles, and snakes, you’ve clearly never met second graders. From the second Richins took the stage, hands were in the air nearly the entire time, despite teachers’ attempts to get them lowered. Scales and Tails is a family-owned public education and entertainment company, which C Y

takes their love and knowledge of animals on the road to help bring a clearer understanding of sometimes misunderstood creatures to the public. Always a big hit at the Fair, the company also attends corporate events, fairs, birthday parties, and in this case school assemblies. Richins, clearly a practiced hand with the animals involved, led student through a parade of animals from the smallest—a curly-haired tarantula and Asian forest scorpion—to the largest—a sulcata tortoise and a reticulated python—with rapt attention from the audience throughout.

Halloween in Curlew Valley

Despite the weather turning cooler, the Curlew Valley ghouls and goblins came out to play for loads of Halloween fun. Spooky festivities may seem like a frivolous celebration but it's just the right trick for a little community comradery. The eerie excitement kicked off with the annual EMS sponsored Holbrook TrunkR-Treat Friday night. Friends and neighbors gathered to show off their charming costumes, share tasty treats and enjoy a hot bowl of soup or steaming cup of hot chocolate. The night may have been chilly, but there was nothing chilling about the fun these friends, young and

old, have with each other. Poulsen Farms of Snowville hosted the usual ghastly gathering to enjoy an enchanting night of disguises, dinner and dancing at their annual Fall Ball Saturday evening. Halloween haunters came from near and far to line up their cars for the monsters and mummies to parade around while asking for treats instead of tricks. The friends gathered first for some frightfully yummy food and then a boot stomping good time on the dance floor. The Desert Rose fancied the crowd with their very best country tunes as the dance floor was filled with everyone from the farmer and his

cow to Disney princess favorites and the everyday spooks. On Halloween day, the festivities continued on as the students, teachers and parents of Stone Elementary had a paranormal party of pepperoni pizza, costume parades and pumpkin decorating. The culmination of the celebration was the airborne treats dropped by Rob and Aimee Stokes as they buzzed passed the Stone Elementary in their plane and let loose Halloween parcels. While the season calls for pranks, spooks and tricks, the greatest treat of it all is a community that takes time for a little fun for one and all.

Spooky Night at the Library Last week, the library hosted its annual Spooky Night, featuring tales of local folklore presented by Elizabeth Kent, and recent tales from author John Olsen. Kent, who has a degree in Folklore from the University of Aberdeen, discussed many of the local tales that might be familiar to residents of the Malad Valley. John Olsen, who has authored a number of books over the past decade, spoke to the assembled crowd about a number of experiences underlying his most recent work “Stranger Paranormal,” which has recently been named a bestseller on Amazon’s Paranormal book list. Kent began her discussion by relating the tale of “the man with two C Y

M K

headstones.” The tale, recounted in this year’s “Welcome to Malad” edition, involves Ben Waldron, who lost a leg in a farming accident. After insisting that his leg be buried under its own headstone, Waldron began to complain that his (missing) leg ached, and was twisted. After months of attempting to convince others of his sensations, Waldron finally convinced his family to unearth the leg and check its status. According to legend, the excavators discovered that the leg was indeed twisted. After having it set straight, he never complained about leg pain again. Elizabeth Kent then dove into the area’s most persistent legend, the Iron Door. She began by reading a version of the leg-

end, which most agreed sounded like what they had heard. Afterward, she revealed that the version she had related was in fact from Oklahoma. Kent made the point that many legends are known to spread from place to place, and there was at least a chance that the local legend had origins elsewhere, though she wouldn’t swear to it. Kent also discussed legends of the potentially haunted elementary school, “the man under the lampposts” who follows drivers through town underneath lightpoles, UFOs in Weston canyon, the “woman in white” in St Johns cemetery, the Bear Lake monster, and of course, Bigfoot. John Olsen, author of the popular “Stranger Bridgerland” series of

books on the paranormal, focused on some of the subjects of his new book. One of the stories Olsen related was of figures he referred to as the “Watchers.” These are reported by those who have seen them to be large, shadowy figures who keep watch on mountain tops surrounding campsites in the Wyoming and Idaho areas. He also told the story of “mimics” which lead people into the woods. “A lot of times I’ll interview someone and assume that it’s just a one off story. But then I’ll go on a radio show or somewhere else, and other people will contact me and say ‘I thought I was the only one’,” he said. This was the case with a story of a camper who had been led up a hill and into the woods

John Olsen discusses paranormal events with a captive audience

by what he thought was his relative, only to find her later on at the campfire having never left. “It turns out a lot of people have had experiences like this.” Olsen ended with a discussion of UFOs. “Utah and Idaho for whatever reason tend to have a lot of UFOs,” he said. He then related several of

those from local areas, including several potential encounters with figures from vehicles that should not have been able to be in the places they were encountered. Afterward, the crowd was treated to Halloween baked goods, and given the chance to speak with the presenters and have their books signed. C Y

Malad High Lunch

Ambidextrous: able to use the right and left hands equally well. Fewer than 1% of humans are ambidextrous. I am in the 99% non-ambidextrous group, which has become painfully evident as I have been recovering from rotator cuff surgery on my right arm. Most tasks require both appendages. So, tying shoes, pulling hair back in a pony or getting dressed require help, but even one-handed jobs like brushing my teeth, eating and writing are no walk in the park, because I am not ambidextrous. Why in the world can’t this left arm/hand perform like my right? It has the same physical structure. It is run by the same brain, although opposite hemispheres do the directing. I’ve had conversations with my left hand about stepping it up, but it continues to lose food off the fork, run my toothbrush through my cheek and make illegible marks on my shopping list. While discussing the awkwardness of this left-handed life with friend Cathy Daniels Peterson, who recently had similar surgery, I learned all this practice with my non-dominant hand was actually fighting off dementia. I decided to do

a little research. Functional connectivity (FC), it turns out, is increased when you are forced to practice precision drawing with your non-dominant hand.* This happens not only between the right-brain and the non-dominant left hand, which would be expected; but also bi-laterally between the sensorimotor hand areas…that means both sides of the brain. The researchers concluded these new neural pathways in the brain helped the body function more seamlessly than before. Others have concluded that these connections not only keep the brain more nimble but could prevent other signs of aging such as general forgetfulness or even degenerative diseases like dementia and Alz-

heimer’s.** I want to increase my functional connectivity, maybe we need a practice session before Friday Night Bingo each month or after every Senior Citizen dinner! So, while I’m convalescing and working my non-dominant hand, I am building neural pathways which increase my functional connectivity and help ward off dementia. Who knew? It is a Good Life, especially when I can get someone to tie my shoes! *Neuropsychologia. Benjamin A. Phillip. Scott H.

NOTICES Idaho Constitutional Amendment SJR 102 Legislative Council’s Statement of Meaning, Purpose, and Result to Be Accomplished Currently, the Legislature may meet in a special session only upon call of the Governor. The proposed amendment would allow the Legislature to convene itself in special session if 60% of the members in each house submit a petition to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The petition must specify the subjects to be addressed in the special session, and only those subjects could be considered during the special session. The amendment also requires the Legislature to hold an organizational session in December following a general election. The purpose of the organizational session is to prepare for the upcoming regular session. The proposed amendment would formalize in the Idaho Constitution the Legislature’s longstanding practice of holding an organizational session. Statements FOR the Proposed Amendment 1. This constitutional amendment is needed to correct an imbalance of power among the three branches of government. The executive and judicial branches of government have no restrictions on their ability to conduct business when and as they deem appropriate, and the legislative branch should have the same power. 2. Idaho is one of just 12 states whose legislature has no power to convene itself into a special session under certain circumstances. The Idaho Legislature should not be dependent on the Governor to call it into special session when extraordinary events occur. For example, in 2020, the Idaho Legislature wished to convene to consider Covid-19 matters and the expenditure of federal funding related to the pandemic but the Governor delayed convening the Legislature. Idaho should join the 38 states (including all of Idaho’s neighboring states) that recognize the legislative branch of government’s right to determine independently when it should convene and conduct the business of the people it represents. 3. Authorizing the Legislature to convene itself into special session will prevent the need for one or both houses of the Legislature to defer adjourning sine die indefinitely as happened in 2021 when the House of Representatives wanted to preserve its right to take up anticipated issues later in the year. Deferring the date of adjourning sine die results in numerous administrative problems such as delaying effective dates of legislation and administrative rules. If the Legislature is able to convene itself, there will be no need to avoid adjourning sine die. 4. The proposed amendment contains sufficient safeguards against any potential abuse of power by limiting the subjects of legislation to be considered during a special session to those listed in the petition, just as a special session called by the Governor is limited to the subjects listed in the Governor’s proclamation. Statements AGAINST the Proposed Amendment 1. The Legislature has conducted its business for over 130 years without needing the ability to call itself into special session. This constitutional amendment is not necessary because the Governor has called and can continue to call the Legislature into a special session when necessary. Passing this amendment would remove a check and balance from the Idaho Constitution.

2. The Idaho Legislature is a part-time citizen legislature. The proposed amendment provides no limitations on how often special sessions may be called or how long they may last. Idaho should not move toward having a full-time legislature, and Idaho’s parttime citizen legislators with other careers should not be burdened with sudden, unpredictable special sessions.

3. Idaho businesses and citizens need the stable, predictable, and routine timeline of the regular legislative session to communicate with legislators regarding the effects that pending legislation may have on businesses and citizens. The ability of the Legislature to convene itself into various special sessions may result in the passage of legislation that has not been properly vetted and could result in unintended consequences for Idaho businesses and citizens.

4. The proposed amendment requires a petition signed by only 60% of the members of each house of the Legislature. This threshold is too low. Many states require a higher percentage, such as 67% or 75%. A higher percentage would deter the Legislature from convening itself for subjects that may be trivial, vague, or not widely agreed upon.

Amendment Text Section 8. SESSIONS OF THE LEGISLATURE. (1) The regular sessions of the legislature must be held annually at the capital of the state, commencing on the second Monday of January of each year, unless a different day shall have been appointed by law, and at other times in extraordinary sessions when convened by the governor and in organizational sessions commencing on the first Thursday of December after the general election, unless a different day shall have been appointed by law. (2) The legislature, while remaining a part-time, citizen legislature, must also be convened in special session by the president pro tempore of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives upon receipt of a joint written petition of at least sixty percent of the membership of each house, specifying the subjects to be considered. Such special session must commence no later than fifteen days after the petition is received by the president pro tempore of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives. At a special session convened pursuant to this section, the legislature shall have no power to consider or pass any bills or resolutions on any subjects other than those specified in the petition and those necessary to provide for the expenses of the session. #5458-9-29-22, 10-20-22, 11-13-22-T3

The October 27 issue of the Enterprise made me realize how much is going on constantly behind the scenes to bring joy to others. With the whimsical spooky displays inside the Co-op building, the Boy Scouts selling

green lightbulbs to honor Oneida County veterans, the ever-changing museum displays, the Elder Grow program at the LongTerm Care Facility, pictures of the Oneida Co. youth’s successful fall hunts, wonderful programs and speakers at the library, and even the Bugstravaganza to share with children and adults of the community, it is evident to see how every-

LOOKING BACK 5 YEARS AGO (2017)

Malad Elementary's PTO committee are sleeping better tonight knowing that their hard work for the last few months was worth it. Parents and kids attended the Howl-a-baloo at the Oneida County Fairgrounds this year. The carnival was moved there to allow for more attendees, games, and opportunity for growth each year. A featured part of the family carnival this year was the Disney themed pumpkin walk organized by Kami Willie. Businesses and community members were invited to decorate pumpkins representing movies created by Disney. There were displays representing Alice in Wonderland, Finding Nemo, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, The Lion King, Planes, as well as several other uniquely decorated Disney movie scenes. Private Brett Schow, 19, of Malad, graduated from United States Marine Corps Boot Camp at Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MRCD) San Diego, on September 15, 2017. Private Scow successfully completed 13 weeks of intensive basic training at MCRD San Diego as one of 87 recruits in Training Platoon 3243. While in recruit training, Private Schow earned Expert Shooter and was appointed as Platoon Prayer Leader. After ten days home on leave, Private Schow reported to Camp Pendleton for one month of Military Combat Training, graduating on October 24, 2017. Private Schow will continue his Military Occupational Specialty Schooling at Camp LeJeune in North Carolina. Private Schow is the son of Lonny and Camille Schow. He is a 2017 graduate of Malad High School. The Oneida County Deputies, in a quarterly meeting for 2017, honored recently retired Sheriff's Deputy Leland Ward for 17 years of service with the Oneida county Sheriff's Office and thanked him for his service to local law enforcement. Leland and his wife, Christine, were guests for the luncheon held that day. Ben Waldron, Malad's only cross-country runner entered into the 2A Idaho State Cross Country meet last weekend in Boise, finished his final race with his personal best time. The race was held on Saturday, October 24, at Eagle Gate Park in Boise. Waldron was one of 72 runners in the state competition. He finished with a time of 18:05.61 and was 27th in the pack of runners. He also finished ahead of three runners that placed higher than him in the district meet. "He ran really well," said Coach Tia Talbot. "He didn't go out too fast, had a good pace, and a good kick at the C Y

end. He passed two boys in the last 400 yards. He also beat three of the boys that beat him at district. That was just proof to me that he deserved to be there." Talbot added, "You can't feel bad about a personal record! He gave us his best and I'm really proud of him. He worked hard and it paid off." Waldron is a senior at Malad High School.

10 YEARS AGO (2012)

The public is invited to the dedication of the new expansion of the Veterans’ Memorial in downtown Malad City. The memorial now has room to accommodate names from the Persian Gulf Wars and names of veterans of future wars. The USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) recently welcomed Brett Feichtinger to the Malad Field Office. Not only is this his first engineering position since receiving his civil engineering degree from Boise State University, but he is also the first engineer that the Malad Field Office has had on staff in a number of years. Numerous family members and friends were in attendance at the Sixth Ward Building in Malad in order to witness 15 yearold Houston Gerald Thomas, son of Wendy and Larry Thomas, be awarded the Eagle Scout rank. He successfully completed his Eagle Scout project, the installation of a cement 12-foot wide handicap/ vehicle driveway located from the parking lot behind the Oneida County Library to the pavilion at the Malad City Park, with the help of Ferris Hess and many other volunteers this past summer. Offense dominated as the Malad High School football team faced Salmon in the 2A Idaho State Playoff game in Holt Arena. The Dragons came up just short and fell to Salmon 48 – 45 in the offensive battle.

15 YEARS AGO (2007)

The Oneida County Library held an open house to showcase the beautiful facility and celebrate its 30-year anniversary in the present location.

Serving with him in the Bishopric are Ralph Bennett, first counselor; Mike Atkinson, second counselor; Everett King, executive secretary; Rick Griffiths, assistant ward clerk; Brad Thorpe, ward clerk and Mike Cornelius, assistant clerk. The Malad High School FFA Chapter had several students attend the National FFA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. Members going were: Patrick Evans, Devin Skidmore,

25 YEARS AGO (1997)

Announcement was made that a new permanent administrator for the Oneida County Hospital/Long Term Care Facility has been hired. Todd Winder, of Boise, arrived Monday to fill the vacancy. Junior High Principal Sheldon Vaughan told school trustees, that students’ first day in the new middle school will be Monday, November 10. This will be the first day of the nine weeks. Jana Davis, 11 yearold daughter of Mary Jo and Kelly Davis, is singing the part of Savannah in the new release of “The Music of the Work and the Glory”, volume 2, written and composed by Lynn and Gerald Lund. Steve Bybee will conduct a special women’s self-defense class in Malad on November 1. Bybee, head instructor of Wasatch Kenpo Karate, began teaching Kenpo in Malad three years ago. Some of his Malad students are Layne Moeller, Josh Blaisdell, Blake Wise, Jeffrey Smith, Trevor Jones, Kenny Garrett and Brandon Peterson. Andrea Parry won the judge’s vote in the Malad Area Chamber of Commerce Chili Cookoff. Andrea was sponsored by Hess Lumber. Second place honors went to Brenda Scott and Lindsy Cox, sponsored by Scott’s Service and third place to Art Terry. Twenty-two entries greeted judges at the annual Chamber of Commerce Halloween Pumpkin decorating Contest. This was the most entries in several years, and some very clever pumpkins were turned out. Skylar Dorius was the “Best Overall” winner with Tasia Hobson coming in second; Wendy Weeks received the “Best Painted” award with Lindsy Cox coming in second; Judy Hobson earned the “Best Carved” with Abbie Gamble coming in second; and Bob Hobson

received the “Biggest Homegrown Pumpkin’ award.

35 YEARS AGO (1987)

It was a super team effort that brought home the State Championship Cross Country trophy for the Dragons last Saturday, the second time in four years. Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise are Kelly Scott, Toby Conley, Scott Mills, Tim Naugler, Cory Bybee, Tony Perkins, Todd Mills and Tyler Hill. On the Girls side, freshman Shanna Nalder made the All State Team, finishing No. 15. Pictured in The Idaho Enterprise is the lucky winner, Lou Ann Thomas as she proudly shows off the quilt she won in the Modern Woodman Quilt Drawing. The quilt was made and donated by Cathie Jensen and her daughters. The Oneida county Hospital is sporting an array of new equipment these days purchased with money presented them from two charitable grants. A CMS 8000 patient monitoring system was purchased with funds contributed by the Redfield Foundation, along with two MOBLVAC II portable suction units and a new patient transport table. In addition, money donated from the Laura J. Cunningham Foundation was used to acquire a new range for the kitchen and a training program for hospital personnel, including VCR and television set. 41 – 45 – 56 – 60 – The numbers are different, but the name is the same. When Coaches Craig Buttars and Stewart Portella shout directions to an Atkinson kid on the Malad High School football team they have learned to use first names along with the last. Otherwise they’d have four players responding to their orders. Doug, Bill, Dee and Alan Atkinson all play on the Dragon Football Team and all are brothers. They are double sets of identical twins, born just one year apart.

The Walt Jones ranch near the Malad airport is not only one of the most picturesque scenes in the Valley, but is certainly the most uniquely decorated. Besides the 275 gallons of red and white paint the barn and corrals get every six years, the ranch sports windmills, miniature cowboys and horses, and even a handmade five-foot tall bell, all constructed by Walt Jones.

SPORTS

State Volleyball “They may be tiny, but they are FIERCE!” shared Lady Dragon volleyball Coach Camie Tripp with great pride as she spoke about her team following the 2A Idaho State Volleyball Championship tournament October 28 and 29. It could be easy to disregard the somewhat smaller MHS team compared to their opponents that demonstrate the typical height and size of a state championship team. But when the Lady Dragons take to the court and show their grit and determination, they prove just how fierce they truly are. From the very first match, the Lady Dragons relied on that grit, intensity, fierceness and desire to help them through their tournament games. Malad’s first matchup was against their district counterpart, the West Side Pirates. This matchup brought many pros and cons for Malad. In essence, the Lady Dragons knew exactly what it would take to beat the Pirates, but they also knew just how tough it would be. The MHS team came out ready to play and took it to the Pirates from the beginning, winning

the first set, 25-19. To no one’s surprise, West Side answered back by stepping up their game and winning the second, 16-25. With the sets one to one, it was anyone’s game and Malad was there to fight to the end. The Lady Dragons battled back to win the third game, 25-17. The fourth game went to the Pirates again, 21-25. With only one set of the match left to play, the Lady Dragons were determined to win. Playing such an intense and equally matched team required every player on the MHS volleyball team to step up and give their very best, and step up their did! Adley Kimberling not only led as the team’s captain and offense as setter, but also led the team in digs with 26, while also adding 3 kills and 7 blocks. Powerhouse hitter Hallie Horsley brought 23 kills and 22 digs. Outside hitter Riglee Peterson, with her intensity and consistency, had 3 aces, 13 kills and 22 digs. With the Pirates bringing a strong attack, the Lady Dragons depended on their back row to pass up whatever they dished over to set up their own offense. Anistyn Tov-

ey, Brylee Oglesbee, Journie Tovey, and Izzy Haycock worked together to dig up another 50 digs to put a stop to the Pirate’s play. Middle blockers Camie Bean and Abby Rosenquist covered the net well to direct and bring in 7 and 11 blocks respectively. This sort of big play not only kept the Lady Dragons in the game, but helped them defeat West Side in their final set, 17-15, and ultimately win the match. Defeating West Side sent them on to face the undefeated and number one team of the tournament, the Melba Mustangs. In a game that could have been considered the championship match of the weekend, Malad and Melba went back and forth over a grueling five sets. Melba jumped out to win the first game of the match, 22-25. Malad learned from their play and took the second set, 25-19. The two teams fought long and hard through the third set, with Malad coming out on top, 2826. The Mustangs were far from being done and came back to win the final two games, 18-25 and 13-15. The Lady Dragons

MHS vs West Side at Districts, on the way to State were next paired to play the Lumberjacks of St. Maries. Despite having already played two intense matches of five games already that day, the MHS volleyball team made quick work of their match against St. Maries, sweeping the games, 3-0. Like some odd version of “Groundhog Day,” after their win over St. Maries, Malad was once again set to play West Side for the eighth time this season. Just as in past games, the two equally matched teams went back and forth leading on the scoreboard, having the momentum and winning games. This mentally and physically tough game

demanded a lot from the Lady Dragons. In those moments when their teammates needed an assist, new players stepped in to give some fresh energy. Coach Tripp was so proud of how her team jumped in wherever they were needed. “Katie Allen helped bring some big blocks against West Side. Kaitlyn Pickett jumped in there too and added a lot of spirit to the team. Every one of those girls rose to the occasion.” Malad won the first set of the match, 2519. True to the existing trend, West Side won the second, 20-25. The victory swung in the Pirate’s favor again in the third game, 25-27. The Lady Dragons rallied to

win the fourth set, 2523. The final set was a battle to the bitter end where the Pirates eventually pulled ahead to win, 18-16. While it might not have been the ending they were hoping for, Coach Tripp had nothing but praise for her team. She shared, “Through all the ups and downs of the game, you just could never count us out. In that last game against West Side, we were down, 2-8. But they fought and battled back. Time and time again they bounced back. We played our very best volleyball of the season at State and that is the best way to end the season.”

Ag Update—Russian-Ukraine War Fallout By Allison Eliason Nearly nine months after Russia began its attacks on the Ukraine, rippling effects of the conflict continue to bring fear and uncertainty around the globe. As the conflict first began, it was well anticipated that there would be food shortages, global inflation and volatile market fluctuations that could prove difficult, if not devastating. All had hoped the far reaching effects of war might have been curtailed in the United States but such hopes were highly unlikely. After months of promising negotiations to help mitigate some of the cascading global effects, progress has been stopped in its tracks and the echoes of its ramifications can be heard worldwide. Mid-July brought the first looks of any headway for relief as Russia and Ukraine came to an agreement to allow grains to be exported from Ukraine’s Black C Y

Sea ports. Despite the conflict and the significantly reduced productions, Ukraine still had considerable stores of grain to be delivered around the world. As one of the world’s largest suppliers of wheat, soybean, and sunflower products, the news of the exports was a huge step towards food securities, stabilizing markets and economic recovery. Although Russia agreed to the deal, its hesitancy and aversion to the arrangement didn’t go unnoticed. So it came as no surprise when Russia backed out of the agreement after claims of Ukrainian sea-bourne attack drones were recently found. The claims are largely unsubstantiated and clearly seen as the excuse Russia has been looking for to close down the ports and halt grain exports. While the pull out was not unexpected, the effects will be devastat-

ing as the more than two millions of tons of grain had the capabilities to feed more than seven million people. Experts weigh in that in a good year of normal global growing conditions and stable world markets, the loss of Ukraine’s products would be a difficult loss. With drought across several nations, countries with falling markets and overwhelming inflation, the continued food shortages will have disastrous effects. The news of the halted exports comes as farmers throughout the United States are coming to close of the 2022 harvest season. Most contracts have been drawn up, if not already fulfilled for farmers selling their products and as many are looking to the next season's crops. There is very little, if any, corn or wheat that the American agriculture industry can afford to export before creating food defi-

cits on the homefront and there is the lingering concern of how the United States will respond if and when the crisis will come knocking at our door for aid. These new circumstances we find ourselves in leaves many questioning what the next year will look like for both American producers and consumers alike. Will food costs continue to increase for families across the nation? Will costs rise for producers and make it difficult for the upcoming growing seasons? Will this bring a spike to the US grain markets that will help alleviate some of the financial burden both farmers and hungry families are facing or will it only bring more hardship? As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to unfold, the rippling effects continue to lap upon our shores. Farmers across the country are trying to navigate

the ups and downs they are facing locally as well as globally. Worldwide crisis have seemed to become par for the course for the ag industry after managing the effects of the pandemic, drought, and now war. All that can be done is to put our hope and faith in our farmers that they will continue to give their all to feed our families like they have done for generations.

State Cross Country The final weekend of October marks the final meet for cross country runners across the state as they race in the Idaho State Cross Country Championship meet. This is the weekend Malad’s racers have been working towards far longer than the few months of the cross country season. This is the weekend they have kept in mind as they have pushed through injuries and upsets along the way. This is the weekend the MHS runners have prepared to showcase their very best mental and physical form and leave it all out on the course. In preparation for this season and ultimately, this race, the MHS team has put their sport and their time at a high priority. Long before summer started, the team began their training to literally hit the ground

running when the season officially began. As a team, they have logged more than a combined 1,000 miles of running before the season even began. Head Coach Tia Talbot says about her team and their dedication, “They know what it takes to win and they go out and do it!” The 2022 State Cross Country meet was run in Lewiston, Idaho where 71 teams with 863 racers from the myriad of 1A to 5A schools gathered to see who would claim fame and glory for themselves and their team at the conclusion of this season. Coaches, parents and fans proudly joined the Dragon runners to cheer them on for their final race. Malad’s racers were up to the challenge and ran their very best races of the season. The course historically has

6th Grade Football Eighteen of Malad’s finest football players competed in the 2022 South East Idaho Youth Football, 6th grade American Conference league to face off in the championship game against the Soda Springs Cardinals in the Holt Arena MiniDome October 26th. The Dragons began the game in possession of the ball and were determined to score on that very first drive. They immediately began moving the ball down the field and scored the first touchdown of the game on that opening drive. Soda Springs was set to retaliate and answered the Malad touchdown in kind, scoring their first touchdown in the next series. Those first scores set the pace of a true gridiron game for the duration of the night. The boys from Malad fought hard on every down of the game. The Cardinal’s defense C Y

forced Malad to largely play a running game to which Bronson Smith and Riggin Montgomery were happy to take the ball down the field, one yard at a time. The offensive line stepped up with big blocks, allowing Smith to run in and score two touchdowns. When the ground game slowed, Montgomery turned to the air, connecting on multiple passes with Bastian Miller, Tyce Thomas, Grayson Thomas, and Brecken Price. Soda Springs brought their own hard-fought running game to which Malad’s defense held strong. The defensive line consistently made crucial stops at the line. Not to be outshined, the backfield stepped up to the challenge with good coverage across the field to put a stop to the Cardinal’s passing game. As in most football games, it only comes down to a

The Cross Country and Volleyball teams take to the halls of MES for a pre-state run been fast paced, giving all the runners a better footing for faster times. On top of the favorable circumstances, the Dragon runners were looking and feeling fresh and ready to race. “These runners have peaked at just the right time for this race,” shared Coach Talbot. Every MHS runner set a new personal record or season record as they crossed the finish line of the Lewiston Orchard course. Prior to the 2A Women’s race, the coaches reminded their team to encourage each other, work together as a team, and ultimately run their own race. It was easy to see the team take these words to heart as moved around the course. As some runners fatigued or dealt with injuries, other racers picked up their pace to move up just a place or two. Despite anything that might have held the team back, every runner put on the gas and ran flat out. One racer shared that in the midst of the race, in that moment when exhaustion had started to creep and they felt at their lowest, the thought that fueled her was that “we drove ten hours to compete and we would let nothing get in our way!” Another shared that there is nothing that beats the feeling of com-

The MHS Womens Cross Country team cap a great season at the state tournament ing across the finish line, seeing their progress from race to race, and especially the friendships they have established over the season. Brycen Talbot, the only qualifying member of the MHS Men’s team to race at state, came out strong and held his own all throughout the

way. Talbot medaled in 14th place and set a new personal record. Three members of the MHS Women’s team earned a place in the Top 20, including senior Cortlyn Coleman in 14th place, Cally Coleman in 16th place, and Brooke Isaacson in 17th place. After a great race at

the conclusion of a great season, Coach Talbot easily summarized, “All I can say is that I am so proud of them. That really doesn’t seem like enough but they have worked so hard for so long. They put in what it takes to win and they have proven it over and over.”

Malad's 6th grade team played in the 6th grade American Conference League Championship at Holt Arena over the weekend few plays. Unfortunately, Soda was able to get a couple of those plays passed Malad's defense to have the lead at the end of the game for a final score of Malad 12 - Soda 20. Despite the final score of the game, this Dragon football team has a lot to be proud of throughout the season, all of it culminating in a hard fought championship game. The coaches and parents

spoke of how pleased they were with what the team was able to accomplish. “Many of the boys didn't know how to put a helmet on at the beginning of the season. By the end of the season, they were confident in their skills and knew their positions well, allowing us as coaches to have confidence in them when we needed to move them around and make changes.

“The team has grown really close this season as the boys supported and encouraged one another. We hope that they continue this and their love of football goes on into Jr. High and High School. “ Playing on the team this year was Brecken Price, Kallen Price, Hyrum Hanks, TreySean Clemons, Bridger Barnes, Beck Green, Grayson Thomas, Riggin Montgomery, Jace

Nalder, Tyce Thomas, Kall VanBebber, Bronson Smith, Bastian Miller, Wyley Jeppsen, Kendon Ward, Hank Ward, Trustin Palmer and Liam Donnan The team was coached by Hayden Montgomery, Brian Thomas, Joe Miller, Joey Barnes, Laren Nalder, and Kade Price.
