Pioneer Day in Caribou County
The familiar cycle hit its midway point last week, as Bancroft hosted Pioneer Day festivities for Caribou County, following Soda Springs’ stewardship of Independence Day and preceding the start of the Caribou County Fair next week in Grace. For those who love festivals, spectacles, events, and food trucks the five or so weeks are an endless series of delights. And for those who love parades, Caribou County’s got you covered.
The Pioneer Day parade made its way around the downtown blocks of Bancroft, dispensing candy as it went (except for Highland Milling, who gave out bags of oats). In addition to the traditional Fire Department, EMS, Sheriff’s, Rodeo Royalty, Elected County Officials, Senator Mark Harris, City Council, North Gem Cheer, Caribou Medical Center, Bayer, Bancroft Humanitarian, Advantage Plus, and Guardian Realty, the parade also saw entries from less common sources. The Class of 1974 was one such float, honoring the memories of Kirk Larsen, Gary Welch, Date Yost, and Maggi Obrien, all of whom passed too young. Nu Holsten Ranch, the Water Car’s Max Ellis Toolie, HydeA-Way Wagons, and RMSHA 2023 Junior Points Champion Roper Spencer all made entertaining entrances. A handcart crew lugged their eponymous conveyance around the square, and the young men of Bancroft were called out for their allegedly wild hair. The Joseph Glen Hogan Mail truck made an appearance, as did Bryant and Donna Smith, celebrating 60 amazing years together. The
parade was overseen by Grand Marshal Craig Wilker, and lent distinction by the Distinguished Young Women of Caribou County, who greeted the crowd.
The Bancroft Rodeo (results in a separate story) filled the afternoon on Pioneer Day, as folks from close to home and farther afield descended on Bancroft for one of the oldest and most venerated rodeos in the region. Action was heavy, but the weather for once cooperated and kept things much cooler than they could have been. In attendance was the family of Chance Dimick, a local rodeo rider who was recently injured. A Venmo account has been set up for him as well, and further information will be forthcoming in a later edition.
Kids’ races at the football field are something that everyone can enjoy. While a holiday race in the mid-90s seems like a good time to take it a bit easy, the competitors in Bancroft poured it on, leaving nothing on the field other than some sweat and a few scattered knee scrapings. As parents cheered them on, the kids from the youngest to the most competitive made for quite a sight as they chased their own personal gold.
Vendors set up near the Trading Post downtown, offering a wide variety of items, from jewelry and books, to food and treats. The Trading Post itself was open for the day, as it has been on recent Pioneer Days. Not only were people able to grab a seat, get some food, play a few games of pool, and chat out of the heat, but they were also able to see the progress that Mike Ackerman and a crew
from Coburn Customs have been making. Owing to Mike’s work schedule and other obligations, the remodeling process has been a long and slow one, but a tour inside makes it clear that the dream is within reach.
Ackerman hopes to have the Trading Post open for daily use before the end of the year, and that prospect seems absolutely achievable in its current state of completion.
Trenton Dexter with Coburn Customs in Grace agrees. “I started this as just a job, but now it’s a lot more than just a jobsite to me,” he says. “This is the fourth year, and I think we’re getting really close.”
IN BRIEF
Friends identify a woman and two boys killed in Lake Powell accident
Two 4-year-old boys, Gabriel Hart and Zeniff Cox, along with 72-yearold Missy Hayhurst Cox Bean died in a pontoon accident in Lake Powell on Friday, July 26. The National Park Service said, “The 25-foot privately owned pontoon vessel was being towed by another boater, when waves contributed to the towed vessel capsizing. Several of the eleven passengers became trapped under the overturned vessel”. Rangers responded and found one passenger on top of the pontoon, some in the water, and some unaccounted for. Two other passengers have been hospitalized, 7-year-old Audrey Cox, and Missy Bean’s husband, Roland Bean. The accident is still under investigation by local authorities and the National Park Service.
Officials confirmed humans caused the Bench Lake Fire, Redfish Lake starts reopening As of Monday the Bench Lake Fire is 85% contained and has burned 2,595 acres. The U.S. Forest Service confirmed the fire was human-caused. No further information was included in the release. Visitors must remain 300 feet away from the west bank shoreline in Redfish Lake to ensure public health and safety. This also allows firemen to be able to continue to work in the area. Now that the fire is reaching total containment some areas are reopening to the public. Redfish Lodge guests with prior reservations are now allowed to stay. Smoke is still affecting the area, but officials say a lot of the smoke in the region is coming from the Oregon and California fires.
Dollywood theme park floods
Thunderstorms through eastern Tennessee dumped rain and caused flash flooding in Dolly Parton’s theme park, Dollywood. According to officials one person was injured. Dollywood Parks and Resorts said, "With the assistance of Pigeon Forge Police and Fire Departments, park personnel directed guests to safety during the storm. At this time, one minor injury has been reported”. Dollywood was scheduled to reopen at 12:00 p.m. on Monday. The park is giving tickets to Sunday’s guests for admission on Monday, or providing rain checks for a future visit.
Plans announced for medical school at BYU
The first presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints announced that Brigham Young University will be getting its own medical school. The school will focus on international health issues that affect the church’s members. The church said, “It is envisioned that unlike many medical schools, the BYU medical school will be focused on teaching with research in areas of strategic importance to the church".

According to their current estimates, the company and Mike believe that they in fact may be done by the time school starts this fall, though no one is being held to that.
In addition to the vendors, the families of Hayden Frandsen and Bryan Egley were raising funds to send the two to Italy on an agricultural tour to see farming practices in that country with a group associated with the FFA. @Alice-Egley is the Venmo account that was posted for the fundraising. Tickets for a quilt raffle were also
for sale.
As the afternoon wore on, anticipation for the Hatch Band and Dance picked up, and the evening found the streets full of dance and music, which continued until well into the night when the fireworks took over, bringing another memorable Pioneer Day in Caribou County to a close.
Bancroft may not be a huge town, but it certainly knows how to put on a good celebration, and its pioneer roots are on clear display from predawn to the last ember of fireworks.
The Pioneer Day Parade is rich in spectacle. And candy.

Olympic Recap
Nearly a week into the 2024 Paris Olympics and Team USA is leading in the medal count. With 20 medal finishes already secured, the prospects of a dominating finish is looking good. Here are the highlights of all the excitement happening for Team USA across all the events that are taking place.
The first Team USA medal was earned by Kassidy Cook and Sarah Bacon in Saturday’s 3-meter synchronized springboard competition at the Aquatics Centre. The American duo scored 314.64 points to earn the silver placing, the first US medal in team diving since 2012
Team USA has continued its rivalry in the pool with Australia as the two teams lead out with total wins. However, Team USA pulled ahead Monday, July 29 to take a commanding lead- 11 medals to Australia’s 6. Contributing to Team USA’s tally are Ryan Murphy’s bronze in 100m backstroke (his 7th olympic medal), Katie Grimes silver medal in the 400m Individual Medley with teammate Emma Weyant following to win the bronze, Luke Hobson’s bronze medal with PR of 1:44.79 in the 200m free, Katie Ledecky with a bronze in the 400m free s and Carson Foster with the bronze finish in the 400m Individual Medley. Winning silver for Team USA was Nic Fink in the 100m breaststroke, Gretchen Walsh in the 100m Butterfly, and the Women’s 4 x 100m freestyle relay team. Torri Huske’s elite performance in the 100m butterfly earned her a gold medal placing as well as the Men’s 4 x 100m freestyle relay team.
Team USA’s third gold medal was won by Lee Kiefer in the women’s foil individual fencing event, making her the first USA woman to win gold at two consecutive Olympics. Teammate Lauren Scruggs secured the silver medal in her Olympic debut. The two competitors look to team up in the team fencing event, a finish that is surely worth watching for. In the men’s fencing division, Nick Itkin won the bronze medal in the individual foil.
The Men’s gymnastics team stepped up to win the bronze medal, the first medal since 2008. Their final performance began with a stellar routine by Brody Malone on the rings and was clinched by Stephen Nedoroscik as he crushed his final routine on the pommel horse.
Team USA’s cycling team won their best medal ever as Haley Batten earned the silver in the women’s Cross-country event despite a punctured tire partway through the race.
Chloe Dygert added a bronze medal in road cycling to the count as well, battling through a slick, rainy day in Paris that caused several cyclists to fall, including her.
Jagger Eaton and Nyjah Huston added a silver and bronze medal, respectively, to the medal table in men’s Street skateboarding. Both competitors had the gold medal in their sights but without landing their final tricks, they unfortunately came up short.
While they haven’t yet competed in the final medaling games, a number of USA teams are working through their brackets with high hopes of a gold medal. The women’s rugby team is nothing short of fierce as they have dominated the field. With their 17-7 finish over Great Britain, they look to play New Zealand, the 2020 gold medal winner.
Team USA beat Germany 4-1 to advance to the quarterfinals, playing next on Saturday, August 3. In their two wins, striker Mallory Swanson has put in three of their seven goals, proving what a vital asset she is to the team effort.
In their first game of the Olympics, the women’s basketball team won with an overwhelming lead of 102-76 over Japan. Thursday the team will take on Belgium before playing Germany on Sunday to finish out their pool play. The top two teams from each pool will advance to the single elimination tournament that will begin Wednesday, August 7.
Team USA’s beach volleyball duos have both advanced with 2-0 wins. The women’s beach volleyball team of Sara Hughes and Kelly Cheng defeated the Czech Republic in their first match of the Paris Olympics while the men’s team of Miles Evans and Chase Budinger took the win over France.
All eyes are on Team USA’s gymnastics team of Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera who are the heavy favorites to win gold after a dominant qualifying round. Beginning with routines on the vault, they lead the competition with a commanding lead that they are unlikely to relinquish in their Tuesday competition.
With events happening around the clock, the Paris Olympics are a non-stop show of elite athleticism. Team USA is proving that they are once again a force to be reckoned with. To stay up to date on the medal count go to https://olympics.com/ en/paris-2024/medals.
New method estimates Idaho wolf population
Idaho Fish and Game
Idaho Fish and Game researchers have developed a new genetics-based method of estimating the state’s wolf population. The method uses genetic and age information taken from every harvested wolf checked by Fish and Game. Researchers then use that genetic information to understand relatedness among the harvested wolves and a computer modeling process that uses the pattern of relatedness to estimate the total number of wolves that produced that pattern.
The estimated wolf population for summer of 2023, after the breeding season, was 1,150 wolves. That estimate is near the high-end of the annually fluctuating population because wolf litters are born in the spring, then mortality from hunting, trapping and other causes occurs throughout the fall and winter, which typically cuts the statewide population by nearly half before the next breeding cycle.
The new genetic-based method uses data that Fish and Game staff have collected for years from harvested wolves, and with that historical genetic data, researchers produced estimates for previous years. They worked for more than a year to produce the genetics-based estimates, and then compared them to camera-based estimates of statewide wolf populations from 20192023. Although there were slight variations between the two methods, they produced very similar results.
“We recognize that the camera-based method is likely to become less reliable with a smaller wolf population,” Fish and Game Wildlife Bureau Chief Shane Roberts said. “Therefore, we’re planning to move forward with the new genetics-based method that will be more dependable at lower population sizes. We will work with the scientific community to have this new method peer-reviewed, and we will continue to fine tune it as we move ahead.”
In the early years after wolves were reintroduced to Idaho, the state’s wolf population was estimated by capturing and placing radio collars on wolves in almost every pack in the state. Those collared wolves were later used to locate and count the packs from the air.
As the number of wolves and packs grew in Idaho and became more dispersed throughout the state, it became unsustainable to maintain collared wolves in enough packs to accurately estimate the state’s population. This approach was further complicated because hunters and trappers frequently harvested wolves after being collared, and wolves became more difficult
to capture and collar. In 2019, Fish and Game researchers, along with university collaborators, pioneered the camera-based method to estimate the state’s wolf population. Since then, Fish and Game crews placed and retrieved hundreds of cameras each summer, which generated millions of photos that had to be analyzed before the annual population modeling could begin. The camera method has produced reliable results to date, but Fish and Game researchers predict its reliability will decline if they get fewer pictures of wolves, which would happen if the state’s wolf population was smaller.
To ensure a reliable replacement was available before discontinuing the camera-based monitoring, Fish and Game staff developed the new genetic-based method, and then produced five past-year estimates for direct comparison with the camera-based estimates. After seeing similar results, Fish and Game staff is confident to move forward with the new genetics-based method.
“We believe this new method will provide us with reliable and repeatable wolf population estimates,” Roberts said. “By getting accurate annual population estimates, we can see whether the statewide population is decreasing or increasing, so we can adjust our management accordingly to meet goals.”
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reintroduced wolves into Idaho in 1995-96 with a goal of establishing at least 15 breeding pairs and 150 wolves in the state before the Fish and Wildlife Service would remove federal Endangered Species Act protections and transfer wolf management to the State of Idaho. That population goal was exceeded in 2003, and Fish and Game took over wolf management in 2009. Between 2019 and 2021, the midpoint of the annual cycle of the statewide wolf population averaged 1,270 wolves. That “midpoint” number is roughly midway between the high point of the annual population in the spring and lowest point in late winter before new litters are born. In May 2023, the Fish and Game Commission approved a six-year wolf management plan that outlined goals and strategies to manage the wolf population to fluctuate around an annual midpoint of about 500 animals. Population estimates since 2019 suggest the state’s wolf population is on a declining trend and moving toward meeting that management goal.
Fish and Game officials believe reducing the state’s wolf population will decrease wolf conflicts with livestock and reduce predation on elk herds in areas where they are below population objectives.
Minnetonka Cave will close early for renovation work
The last day to visit the cave this year is August 19
Jared Fisher, Forest Service
The popular Minnetonka Cave site will be receiving a renovation to the exterior facilities at the upper parking lot next month. To complete this project before winter hits, the cave will close two weeks early. The last day to secure reservations on www.recreation.gov is August 4, but the cave will remain open through August 19, for first-come first-served visitors.
“I am excited we can finally implement this project,” said Mike Duncan, Montpelier District Ranger. “These needed upgrades will enhance the experience for visitors as well as provide a better environment for those working at the site.”
Three structures that will be replaced include the upper parking lot ticket booth, bathroom facilities and a building which houses the generators that power the facility. Additionally, an overlook deck will be added next to the parking
lot to provide a scenic view of St. Charles Canyon.
This project is funded through The Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA). Enacted into law on August 4, 2020, GAOA continues to provide new opportunities for the USDA Forest Service to deliver benefits to the American public through major investments in infrastructure, recreation facilities, public lands access, and land and water conservation. “Each year approximately 40,000 individuals visit Minnetonka Cave. GAOA funding is a great opportunity that we are able to utilize to improve many of our local facilities and enhance access to popular areas across the Forest,” said Duncan.
It is anticipated that the project will be completed this fall and will not impact the timeline for the spring 2025 opening.

Community Asked to Take Survey About the Future of Enders
Unless you moved to Soda Springs within the last week, you are probably aware that the Enders Hotel is a matter of local discussion with some heat on multiple sides. Even if you did move here last week, someone might have mentioned it. The short version is that the city was given the building by its prior owner, and has been trying to figure out how to move forward with it ever since. Currently, it is under a leasing arrangement with its management, who are operating it as a hotel, event center, gift shop, coffee counter, and historical museum. The cost of updating the hotel so that it can be used has been carried by its owners, the city, and defrayed in part by the lessee. Various possibilities moving forward include converting the building into city offices, continuing the leased management arrangement, or selling the building to a third party outright.
Arguments about the potential future of the building revolve around its effect on surrounding businesses, its importance as a historic landmark, its important niche as a housing facility for representatives of the local industrial concerns and visitors to conferences and meetings which it is able to host, its attractiveness as a tourist hub, and its maintenance and improvement costs. As the set of issues that surrounds any decision about what to do with the building are complex and involve many potential stakeholders, including residents of the city which currently owns it, members of the City Council months ago raised the
possibility of seeking public input on the hotel.
To that end, while City Council wrestles with what to do with the Enders Building, Debbie Dumont and JoAnna Ashley have created an independent survey to collect citizen input. As is explained below, the result of the survey will be given to the City Council, but the council itself is not involved in designing, collecting, or evaluating the survey. The survey takes just a few minutes to take and can be taken by simply scanning the QR code with your cell phone camera. You must be 18 years of age and either live or own property within Soda Springs city limits or have a business within city limits. To maintain integrity of the survey, it can only be taken once from a single electronic device. The survey will be open through Monday August 12th. The results will be shared with City Council at the August 21st City Council Meeting and also shared with the public with another write-up in the paper. Those who need help taking the survey or who have questions can call Debbie Dumont at 208-521-7024.
LOOKING BACK AT PAGES FROM THE PAST
The following stories are summarized from past issues of the Caribou County Sun over the last fifty plus years. The Enterprise thanks Mark Steele for permission to use the contents, and the Grace Public Library for access to the archives.
10 Years ago, 2014
Youth from the Soda Springs Stake walked a trail with handcarts in honor of the pioneers, up hills and over rocky terrain. At one point, all the men and boys were taken away and the girls and women had to pull the carts on their own—this symbolized the moment when the 500 men from the company were conscripted into the army to fight in the Mexican American War. Participants worked hard during the days, and were treated to uplifting spiritual messages and music during the evenings spent around Dutch Oven dinner and cobbler.
The Caribou County Fair announced that the Double D Pig Wrestling from Geybull, Wyoming would be returning to the fair again. In Pig Wrestling, teams have one minute to catch their pig and place it into the barrel in the middle of the pen, rear-end first. The catch is that the “pen” is filled with slippery clay mud, so it is a challenge to catch the pigs. There are four age categories, ranging down to the 5 to 8 year old set, meaning that there is a chance for almost everyone to wrestle pigs should they so desire. The rules for pig wrestling were printed separately within the Caribou County Sun
Brenda Erickson of the Caribou Mud Racers asked for use of Kelly Park for the 25th annual Mud Challenge in August. The group holds mud races and entertainment at the entrance of the Kelly Park complex. Erickson said that because it was the 25th anniversary, they were planning to bring in a monster truck that is designed for rides for $5 a person. The mud racing group is a charitable all-volunteer group devoted to the sport of mud racing and uses any proceeds for families that may be in crisis. “We appreciate these events that bring people into the community,” Mayor Jim Smith said, after which the City Council approved the event.
Monica Williams-Murphy, MD, from Alabama presented a seminar at Caribou Memorial Hospital about issues faced by all patients and caregivers at the end of life. In her job working in busy hospital rooms, the doctor has seen many deaths, as well as witnessed many patients and their loved ones struggle over long periods of time with very difficult end-of-life situations. Her recent book “It’s OK to Die” was designed to help people navigate that territory. During the seminar, the doctor provided an account of her experiences with end of life care. Dr. Williams-Murphy and her husband Kris Murphy are friends with PA-C Brett Smith and his wife Angie, and while visiting the couple, the doctor offered to provide the seminar, which was very well received. Dr. Nita Weber said that she was so impressed with Dr. Williams-Murphy that they would try to get her to come back for another seminar in the future.
The 2014 Kid’s Day Parade announces that Shirley Christensen had been named as the Grand Marshal. She was born and raised in Chesterfield, and graduated from North Gem High School. Shirley has spent the last twenty years as the North Gem School District #149 Food Supervisor. Many in the community recognize her as a lady in the lunch room who knows how to cook! She is the mother of 11 kids, and raised many of them as she worked. She is also the grandmother of 30 kids. Shirley also volunteers in classrooms and with the school’s concessions. Being at school “is like a home for her because she is a lifelong learner.”
20 Years ago, 2004
Sgt. Zachary Prahl of the 116th Cavalry Brigade, 148th Field Artillery deployed Saturday for mobilization training at Fort Bliss, Texas. They would be training further before deploying for “Operation Iraqi Freedom.” Prahl spent time with parents Diane and Charles, brother
Jared Carver, sister Kimberly Carver, daughter Faith, aunt Teresa Beck, cousin Derek Beck, cousins Sandy and Doug Braun, grandparents Jay and Lorraine Allred, and uncle Chad Allred and son Bradley Allred of Soda Springs.
Caribou County announced that it would once again be sponsoring the “increasingly popular” quilt display at the fair again this year. The display is not a part of the competition, but is housed in the art building. The popularity of the quilt display was such that it was considered a no-brainer to bring it back for a repeat performance. The Caribou Quilt Guild will also be presenting a trunk show during the fair.
Ralph Peterson of Bancroft returned from a study visit with the Fulbright Memorial Fund. The program is sponsored by the Japanese government to thank the U.S. for the Fulbright Act. The program is funded by the Japanese-United States Education Commission. Six hundred teachers from across the U.S. are invited each year to travel to Japan for three weeks, with each state being awarded six teachers for the year. Peterson spent time in Tokyo, and then Tokamachi in Niigata prefecture. He stayed with a host family while on the visit.
30 Years ago, 1994
School district 150 voted to spend around $100,000 for new computers, printers, software, and special electronic equipment. Stuart Meiron, member of the district’s technology committee, said that bids have been received that would provide the middle school with 28 computers, printers, software and networks. The high school would be getting a new network that would make the system more reliable and avoid downtime, which had been a problem in the past. The funds largely came from a school bond specifically for technology for the middle school, as well as a donation from Monsanto.
Due to dry conditions and the low level of the springs, the Grace City Council implemented water restrictions in July. Odd house numbers can water on odd calendar days, and so on. Notices of the restriction were delivered to each residence and the Sheriff’s office has been notified to enforce the ordinance. A $25 fine will be given out for violations. The council asked for cooperation from the community, and stated that if pumping the springs was required, water bulls would see a concomitant rise.
Swimmers from Idaho, Eastern Nevada, and Eastern Oregon gathered at the Snake River Summer Championships, including 10 year old Lindsey Dehl from Soda Springs, and 17 year old Glen Washburn from Grace. Dehl competed in 10 events, and Washburn competed in 5. Both athletes completed with the FAST Aquatic Swim Team from Pocatello. Dehl has been swimming with the FAST team for the past year, and Washburn recently joined. The two swimmers have been travelling to Pocatello every day to practice, and the practice paid off. Dehl placed 2nd in the state with her Individual Medley Relay team, with her swimming the Freestyle leg. She also placed third with the Freestyle Relay team, and did well in the other events. Washburn took 4th in state for his 100 meter breaststroke and a 5th place in the state for his 200 meter breaststroke.
The Grace High Cheerleaders returned from a National Cheerleaders Association summer camp workshop where they received the NCA “Team” award (Together Everyone Achieves Miracles). Over 260 cheerleaders from around were in attendance at the event. The team also received four superiors and two excellents.
40 Years ago, 1984
Winona Lowe: “The will to live is as strong as any force on earth and creates miracles every day. The blight that has killed so many evergreen trees had pretty well done its work of destruction on one of the pine trees that the Hollingsworths had planted in front of their home. The spot is now owned by the Caribou County Fair. As the inroads of
destruction the disease made on one of these beautiful trees, my heart felt the grip of sadness as the dead branches started from the top to the bottom. After a while, there wasn’t much to see but brown dead limbs. Time marched along, and as the seasons changed, tender evidence of life began to emerge from the center of the tree trunk from top to bottom. Each time I observed it more life began to come into the brown dead branches. Now there is definite hope for the ultimate full restoration of the tree as it was. In time it will match its sister tree growing next to it. Brown branches and grass don’t always indicate final death, but a time of sleeping and restoration. When you drive by Center Street in Grace near the Fair Grounds, take a look at what nature has done. I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree—especially one resurrected.
Laura Duren and friend Jerry Boldt of Rochester, Minnesota visited Soda Springs to attend Laura’s five year SSHS reunion for the class of 1979 at the golf club pavilion. Also at the Durens for the weekend were Marjean’s brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde McNeal of Boise, and Ed’s aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Duren of Port Angeles, Washington. Terry Sorenson of Grace won a second place silver medal in the diesel mechanics program at the 1984 VICA National Skill and Leadership Competition in Louisville, Kentucky. Sorenson is a graduate of the diesel program at the ISU Vo-Tech program. He is currently employed by the Sorenson Construction Co. VICA competitions represent a major means of measuring skills acquired by vocational-technical students. All eight ISU students who took part in the national competition were first place winners in Idaho.
44 Years ago, 1980
Jon Rosdahl recently returned from Boys State. While at Boys State, he was elected senator and also served as a committee chairmen in the Senate. He was a citizen of Dempsey and served as a city councilman. Jon was chosen the outstanding citizen in the City of Dempsey. There were 10 cities, each city having 30 or more boys. Ten outstanding citizen awards were presented.
54 Years ago, 1970
Democrats: “The Democratic Party in Idaho specifically demands that immediate action be taken to conclude out involvement in Southeast Idaho.” Republicans: “The Idaho Republican Assembly supports the President of the United States, Richard Nixon, in his action entering the Cambodian sanctuaries to protect American forces in South Vietnam and to further the program of Vietnamization of the war in Southeast Asia. We urge defeat of the Cooper-Church Amendment now pending in Congress.” The Cooper-Church Amendment would restrict funds for U.S. troops in Cambodia after July 1.

City and Ranch Realty of Soda
IDAN-HA THEATRE
Springs announced late yesterday that the new Bailey Creek Acres subdivision located at Bailey Creek about 4 ½ miles south of Soda Springs, has been recorded and accepted by Bear Lake County, and work is slated to begin early next week.
Several contracts have already been finalized and other bods let for the buildings of homes. The subdivision consists of 148 acreage units, and is being developed due to the great demand for country type living.
78 Years ago, 1946
The first of a series of tests entitled “the Baker Tests of the Atomic Bomb” were conducted June 30, 1946, when five ships were sunk, nine ships were wrecked and 45 ships were reported damaged. The second blast will be set July 25, and will be like dynamiting fish in a pond. The bomb will be submerged some 75 feet beneath the surface in about 30 fathoms of water (180 feet) and detonated in the midst of the target fleet. There will be no atomic cloud, which is characteristic of atomic bombs exploded in the air. What is likely to happen is that the intense heat will generate steam in the water and the terrific force will expend a part of its energy in a waterspout with a cloud of steam and vapor shooting into the air.
Intent of this test is to measure force of atomic energy upon the hull structure of naval ships spaces at various distances from the center of the explosion. These tests were conducted in Bikini lagoon.
79 Years ago, 1945
Since 1892, in Paddington Station, London, a mongrel dog named Tim has collected nearly $10,000 for the widows’ and orphans’ fund of a British railroad, says Collier’s. For 11 years, Time met all trains and begged for coins to be dropped in the tin box fastened to his collar. When Tim died of old age in 1902, his body was mounted and placed in a glass case in the station, where he still continues his work, collecting coins through a slot in his stand.
117 Years ago, 1907
It is now definitely settled that Soda Springs is to have a bank, the “First National Bank.” Professor A.L. Bramhall was thrown from a horse last Saturday afternoon and quite badly bruised. Bronco busting is not his line.
L.S. Marriott made the trip to Alexander last Saturday, a distance of six miles over a road that is known too good for automobiles, in 19 minutes in his Reo runabout.
The Ladies of the Maccabees are having a contest for new members and th foar is being fed on a barb wore, horse shoe nails and giant powder for the initiation, which takes place on August 7.
C.L. Toyer, Uther Davis, George Gorton, and Bert Rudd went to the Upper Narrows last Saturday morning on a fishing trip and returned Monday morning. One of the horses fell into a spring and drowned, and they had quite a time getting home.

North Gem’s New Superintendent set for new year
The following letter was drafted by North Gem School District’s new Superintendent Kyler Miller. At the end of last school year, Superintendent Todd Shumway announced that he would be leaving the area to serve in a position with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints BYU-Hawaii International Teacher Education Program in New Zealand. Miller has officially taken over in the position, and will welcome this year’s students to classes in less than a month. The Enterprise welcomes Miller to his new position, and wishes him well on this exciting adventure!
Dear North Gem Community,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Kyler Miller. I am so excited to be the new superintendent at North Gem. Prior to coming to North Gem I taught computer science at Irving Middle School. As well as coached girls’ basketball at Highland High School. I loved teaching and will always cherish the time I spent in the classroom, and the lessons I learned being on the sidelines coaching. I love education, and building relationships with teachers, students, and families. I have a deep respect and passion for the work that goes on inside the classroom and cherish the time and experiences that I had as a teacher. There is no greater work than teaching. Being able to see students grow and change is amazing.
Education is universal and eternal, we are all lifelong learners, whether that is formal education or life experiences. Education is ubiquitous. I have been a formal student for several years and will continue to learn and gain as much education as I can through my life. I truly love learning. I graduated from Idaho State University with a Bachelor’s in History and
a minor in Political Science. I continued my education and graduated with a Master of Arts in History and a Master of Arts in Teaching, as well as a graduate certificate in Geo Spatial Information Science, and my K-12 principal endorsement.
I have made it my goal to gain as much understanding of teaching pedagogy, curriculum development, and student engagement strategies as I can. I am excited to share my experiences with the students, faculty, and each of you. I have been impressed and love the support and dedication for the school that I have seen in my short time in your community. I am inspired and humbled, to share in this wonderful work of educating young people with you.
I have a passion and vision for fostering a culture of excellence, equity, and innovation that I know will continue to build upon and propel North Gem to even greater successes.
I am beyond excited and grateful for the opportunity to work within this wonderful community. I look forward to getting to know the wonderful families and community members as we strive to build the best possible educational opportunities for the students at North Gem.
If you have any questions for me, please do not hesitate to email, or make an appointment to meet in the school. I promise to strive to be open and available to you and any concerns and questions that may arise. I value and welcome input and feedback from the community.
Thank you for your dedication and commitment to the students, teachers, support staff, and families at North Gem, without each of you we limit our ability to create the best possible environment for learning. Go Cowboys!
Kyler V. Miller

Back-to-School Shoppers May Get a Recess from Inflation
As families prepare for the 20242025 school year, forecasters are penciling in a drop in back-to-school spending. Total K-12 spending is expected to decline from $41.5 billion in 2023 to $38.8 billion this year, with back-to-college spending falling from $94 billion to $86.6 billion, according to the National Retail Federation.
Families stocking up on school essentials plan to shell out an average of $875 for primary and secondary school students and $1,365 for college students, the NRF reports. That’s slightly down from $890 and $1367, respectively, in 2023.
The projected dip may be a sign of weakening consumer demand coupled with slowing inflation. Overall prices dropped from May to June for the first time since the start of the pandemic. And over the past 12 months, wage growth has outpaced inflation. Average unadjusted weekly earnings grew 4% over the past year, compared to 3% annual inflation. This means families are finally regaining some of the purchasing power lost to pandemic-era inflation.
When it comes to back-to-school expenditures, you might notice greater price relief in what you pay for goods — physical items like textbooks, computers and smartphones — compared to the cost of services — intangible offerings like tuition and haircuts. That’s because goods prices have largely stabilized, while service prices continue to climb.
Some examples of services that have become more expensive over the past year include elementary and high school fees, daycare and preschool tuition, and haircut prices, according to Consumer Price Index data. Meanwhile, goods like smartphones, computers, children’s shoes and college textbooks have gotten cheaper.
Will the cooling prices of early summer continue? If so, back-toschool shoppers may get a longer recess from inflation. The July Consumer Price Index, which will be released on Aug. 14, will provide more insight. If the index continues to slow, it would be a strong case for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in the next few months. Here are a few ways to sharpen your budgeting skills and help keep back-to-school spending in check: Make a plan. Before you hit the stores or shop online, have a clear idea of what you need and how much you want to spend. Budget for the big picture. Don’t budget for each item individually. Instead, decide what your child will need and pick a dollar amount to cap your overall spending.
Involve children. Use back-toschool shopping as an opportunity to teach kids about budgeting. Letting children have a say in shopping decisions can help them learn invaluable money lessons.

We want to thank you for publishing our article about the celebration of our 60 years of marriage. We had such a perfect day visiting with friends and family at the beautiful Enders Hotel. Tara and her staff were exceptionally helpful and delightful. Caleb, Oakley, and Holly had wonderful ideas and provided everything we needed with happy smiles. Tara has done an outstanding job of curating the old and new to make every room unique. We are glad to see the opportunities for gatherings that The Enders Hotel offers our community! We can't sufficiently thank those that helped make our day happen. Stacey and Joseph Meldrum helped with the slideshows, photos, and all correspondence. Stacey even made us a guest book with pictures of friends through the years. Todd and Becky acquired the soft cone ice cream machine that was so tasty and popular and made the chicken salad croissants, and popcorn for the popcorn bar! Becky also delivered the cakes from Pocatello. Good friends, Tami Christman and
Lynda Lee, helped with all the extras that needed done in the kitchen. Tami and Granddaughter McKenna baked lots of delicious cookies. The slush was very popular and if someone requested the recipe that I have forgotten please reach out for a copy. Lastly, Mindy gifted us with the beautiful "grazing table" of fruits and nuts. She arranged it beautifully with her amazing talent. Sam and Monica Barnes made the wonderful signs announcing the party, Jason Ashley did the beautiful signage on the rails Todd built for our 1930 Model A that we used in the 4th of July Parade. Didn't Soda have a wonderful turnout for all the festivities? We threw 900 rubber ducks and wished we had that many more to share. What a fun day. We feel so blessed to live in this community. We hope our friends know how much their friendship through the years has meant to us. They have made our lives full and richer. Thanks for your kindness and good examples all these years.
We love you all. With warm regards, Donna and Bryant Smith
War on Weeds—weeds are everybody’s problem
THE ISSUE: Scotch broom
Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius) is a perennial shrub native to northern Africa and parts of Europe. It was introduced into the U.S. in the 1850’s as an ornamental, later it was used for erosion control. It invades roadsides, pastures, and other disturbed sites. Scotch broom is unpalatable and can be toxic to livestock.
Scotch broom can grow 3-10 feet tall. Leaves are small oblong, pointed and grow in groups of three. It is well known for its bright yellow flowers that look like ‘pea’ flowers. Seed pods are hairy and green when young, as they mature, they turn black to brown. When ripe they explode, launching the shiny greenish-brown-black seeds. Seeds can remain viable in the soil for up to 30 years. Scotch broom has special characteristics that enable it to outcompete native species. It loses its leaves under dry conditions, but stem tissue can perform photosynthesis helping it to thrive under adverse conditions. It also forms a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen fixing bacteria allowing it to prosper in nitrogen depleted soils.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Options:
• Prevention— Learn to identify this plant. Never transport unknown plant material. Always plant clean seed!
• Mechanical—Mowing plants at the end of the summer can help reduce scotch broom populations if done regularly. Do not try to remove this plant by digging soil disruption will allow more plants to germinate.
• Cultural—Establish healthy stands of desirable vegetation that will compete with scotch broom. Reduce disturbance and use proper grazing techniques.
• Biological—Scotch broom bruchid (Bruchidius villous) and scotch broom seed weevil (Exapion fuscirostre) are both larvae that cause damage to developing scotch broom seeds.
• Chemical— There are several herbicide options available to use on this weed species. For more information on products and rates visit: https:// pnwhandbooks.org/weed. Then search “broom”. Then select “broom, scotch”. Always read and follow herbicide label directions!

Julie Holbrook named 2024 Kids Day Parade Grand Marshal
This year the Caribou County Fair Board would like to honor Julie Holbrook as the 2024 Kids Day Parade Grand Marshal. Born and raised in Cody, Wyoming, Julie grew up in a large family with four sisters and eight brothers. She graduated from Cody High School in 1974, where she shone in choir, drama, women’s sports, and as a majorette. Her fast-pitch softball team clinched a state championship during her high school years.
Julie pursued higher education at Rick College before transferring to Brigham Young University-Provo, where she earned a degree in Recreational Management. Her life was further enriched by serving an LDS mission in Cordoba, Argentina, which significantly influenced her future path.
After returning from her mission, Julie felt a calling to become a teacher. She enrolled at Utah State University, majoring in Elementary Education, and graduated in the spring of 1984. Her teaching career began in Grace, Idaho, where she taught second grade and coached volleyball. During this time, she lived with her sister in a farmhouse west of Grace.
In 1986, Julie’s life took a new turn when she married Todd Holbrook, a North Gem Cowboy, and moved to Ten Mile Pass. The couple wel -
comed three daughters—Chelcey, Sherida, and Chynna—before Julie took a break from teaching to focus on raising their family, which grew to include Aspen, Trieste, Caston, Race, and Bronx.
Julie later resumed her teaching career at North Gem, where she became a cherished member of the Cowboy community. Watching her children excel in school and life has been a source of great joy for her, further amplified by the arrival of seven grandchildren.
Beyond her teaching career, Julie has been deeply involved in the community, coaching softball and baseball, leading 4-H cooking and sewing clubs, organizing the Easter egg hunt, and serving as American Legion President and the chair of baked goods at the Chesterfield Memorial Day Celebration. She has also played an active role in her church, leading various women’s organizations and teaching the 4-5-year-olds.
Although Julie retired from fulltime teaching last year, she continues to contribute to the school in various capacities. The community extends heartfelt thanks to Julie Holbrook for her countless contributions and tireless dedication, acknowledging that her efforts have not gone unnoticed.

SHARC Running Camp Comes to a Close - 2024 Season Set to Begin
July 19th marked the end of an era so to speak. The SHARC running camp, hosted by SSHS Cross Country, came to a close, which also marked the end of a 20 year run of the Summit View High Altitude Running Camp. The camp, started in 2005, is put on by coaches from Soda Springs and Star Valley, WY, with guest host Dan Grimes who formerly helped coach at ISU and Pocatello High. For the last 20 years, campers participated in high altitude trail running, clinics on various running topics, running form and technique analysis, and games for two nights and three days. The camp is typically held in mid to late July and is a great way to complete the summer and kick start the new season.
As with all things, good things must come to an end and it was time to "graduate" and try something new. The coaching staff of SSHS would like to thank the countless hours that volunteers put in to help the camp succeed for so long as well as the support of spouses that allowed them to disappear into the mountains for a few days each summer. Nearly 1500
runners from various schools around the State ,and surrounding States, as well as a runner this summer from as far away as Arkansas participated in the camp. "It was a tough decision," commented Coach Jeff Horsley from Soda Springs about the conclusion of the camp. "But it's time to move on and try something different in the summer, I'm so thankful for everyone that helped make my vision a reality and to do it for 20 years...WOW!"
As it has for the last 20 years, the conclusion of camp marks the start of the new season and the SSHS XC Teams will be starting things off with their annual Midnight Madness on August 12th. High School runners will meet at the high school at 11:45 pm on August 11th with a run to start at midnight August 12th. Those high school runners not able to participate in the Madness, as well as Middle School Runners can meet at the high school at 9:00 am on the 12th as well. Physicals, Questionnaires, and paperwork need to be completed before the first practice. Contact the HS or MS coaches with questions.

The rodeo is a much anticipated highlight of the Pioneer Day festivities, and provides a nice segue from the morning’s parade to the evening’s fireworks.
