The Idaho
Another Amazing Fair week in Oneida County!
Last week, the Malad Valley held the last big fling of the summer at the Oneida County Fair. Ribbons were won, animals were sold, people saw friends they hadn’t seen in months, and fried food was on the menu for a lot of hot and tired people by the end of it.
This year’s market sale was dedicated to the Daniels family, who have been supporters of the Fair and the community for many years. The assembled members of the family were on hand on Saturday morning prior to the sale to receive the appreciation of participants past and present, and everyone who appreciates the family’s tireless dedication, hardwork, and good nature.
Joining the plaque of Above and Beyond volunteers were two familiar faces and names in the world of the county fair, Donna Potter and Patrick Werk, both of whom served for many years as official Fair Board members and still contribute a lot of hours during the fair season.
Patrick Werk was approached by Leigh Love and Diane Skidmore to join the Fair Board in 2012, and he served from 2012-2023, an amazing eleven years. He missed one year due to a trip to Germany, but was still active in planning during it. He started his tenure in charge of team branding, and moved on to being the chairman of the classic rodeo. Pat was instrumental in getting the back pens redone as well as the arena, panels, and gates and roping boxes so that everything was updated, and safety issues and concerns were fixed. As well as getting the new roof on the pig barn, and sheep barn replaced, he was part of getting the newer tractor and water truck which the fair board purchased. For eleven years, his parents Steve and Toni donated four tickets to the NFR to help with the Fairboard raffle. Patrick is now on the indoor arena committee, and finding time being a part of 4H helping his kids with their projects.
Donna’s family wrote that: “Donna served six official years on the Fair Board. She has always loved the fair and what it represents, and that is projects. She turned her dining room into a workshop on many occasions for various things relating to the fair. She enjoyed her time with her fellow board members and consistently maintained a positive outlook on the many different fair improvements she was a part of. She was even able to rope her family into a few summer evenings every year when extra hands were needed. To this day, there is residual white overspray on her pickup from painting the livestock sheds, and I’m sure many other marks and reminders can be traced back to when Donna was on the Fair Board. As her family members, we are proud of her accomplishments in her time on the board, however we are now taking our Mom, Wife, and now Grammy back, because we have some projects too!”
A moment of silence was held for Rauhn Panting, a fixture of the Oneida County Fair and the local ag and ranch communities for many, many years. Rauhn passed away during Fair Week after an illness, and more than once it was overheard that “Rauhn’s probably still out there at the sheep show” by those who remember him fondly. Rauhn moved to Oneida County in 1979 to begin serving as the extension agent, which he did for an amazing 34 more years. His kindness and knowledge made an impact on generations of young showmen and 4-H members, as well as local farmers and ranchers.
Beyond the livestock components of the fair (which are being foregrounded this week), the week also contained both the Cowboy Classic Rodeo, as well as the muchloved Family Fun Rodeo. A Horse Pull night was added to the schedule in place of motorsports this year, and while not as loud was deemed to be just as exciting by many who attended.
Scales and Tails made its always popular return, with its creepy complement of reptiles and other creatures that never fail to delight the young and old alike.
Mini-golf, a lazer maze, several craft classes, a concert by Rough Stock, magician and hypnotist acts, vendors, raffles, and food trucks helped round out the days, which for the most part stayed tolerable, heatwise. The wind kicked up during the afternoons on several days, requiring some battening down of the hatches, but otherwise it was a lovely send off to the summer.
The open class categories were competitive as always, although entries were somewhat down in number. Despite that, there was a lot to see for those who came to find it.
As the books close on the 2024 Oneida County Fair, we will bring you some additional stories and pictures we weren’t able to fit into this issue. There’s no sense in rushing into the Fall, after all!
Full results of the Market Sale are on page 4 of this edition and additional animal show results are on page 11.
NEWS IN BRIEF
Phil Donahue dies at 88 Legendary talk show host, Phil Donahue, passed away after battling a long illness, his family announced on Monday. His family said in their statement, “Donahue died at his home surrounded by his family, including his wife of 44 years, Marlo Thomas, his sister, his children, grandchildren and his beloved golden retriever, Charlie”. For nearly three decades, Donahue hosted “The Phil Donahue Show”. In May, Donahue received the Medal of Freedom award from President Joe Biden. The award is the nation’s highest civilian honor.
650-acre wildfire west of Pocatello is contained The 650-acre fire started around 4:30 p.m. in the Michaud Creek area. Both lanes of I-86 were initially closed but reopened around 6:20 p.m. The fire briefly jumped the interstate, but the firefighters were able to push it back. The fire is believed to have been caused by lightning. Strong winds blowing through the area caused the fire to quickly spread, which led to evacuations in the area. Around 50 homes were originally evacuated. According to authorities, the fire was fully contained around 10:00 p.m. and people were allowed to return to their homes. No homes or structures were damaged and there were no reported injuries.
First Tater Tot Festival celebrates the history of Idaho snacks while raising money for child abuse prevention
According to East Idaho News, Community members gathered at Sandy Downs in Idaho Falls on Saturday to raise awareness and money towards ending child abuse. The Greater of Idaho Falls Chamber hosted and organized the festival, and also celebrated the history of the tater tot. Leslie Grigg and his cousin Steve Grigg recently formed the nonprofit Protect Your Tots Foundation. “Protect your tots” was the theme for the day, with all proceeds going to a new Family Justice Center, a central location for the Domestic Abuse and Sexual Assault Center to process cases. Steve and Leslie’s fathers, F. Nephi and Golden Grigg, founded OreIda, the company that invented the tater tot. According to Steve, F. Nephi and Golden Grigg were victims of child abuse, and their family is using their platform to stand up for all victims.
1 dead and 7 injured in Baltimore shooting Police said, one man was killed and seven people were hospitalized in a shooting in Baltimore on Sunday. Richard Worley, the Baltimore Police Commissioner, described the deceased as a 36-year-old man. Six of the injured were also men and one woman, ages 22-45. Worley said some of the victims were in critical condition, and others were stabilized. The shooting was reported just after 8:00 p.m. “At some point it looks like multiple people opened fire,” Worley said. Police quickly arrived on scene and were able to mark evidence. Worley said, “We’ve got a lot of evidence…and we’re looking for a lot of video.”

There is almost nothing cuter than a Bucket Calf show, which was a big hit this year.

The event that many people—4-H members and meat-eaters alike—look forward to all year took place over the weekend, as the Oneida County Market Animal sale commenced.

Grandparents
By Gramma Dot
Summer is winding down. Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with two carloads of preteens at Lava. They have more energy than they can use and more than I can keep up with. So, I sat on a lawn chair and watched the action. I had the food, so they checked in regularly. Today, I’m at the Oneida Pioneer Museum. It’s a little more my speed; calm, cool and quiet. Life is full of contrasts.
While at the Museum, four patrons from the Griff Davis Family came in. I called their cousin Annette, and she came down to say hi. They enjoyed wandering around, looking at the antiques and visiting with one another. The tranquility got me thinking about the contrasting atmosphere with the third graders in May. They come at the end of the school year and only want to hear about Old Eph and Gerald’s Fish. They barely keep the energy under wraps while they listen to the stories.
Dean, one of the visitors, told me one of his grandchildren didn’t know what a telephone was. We started talking about the importance of history and he went on to say their neighborhood put up flags on D-Day and even his own children didn’t understand what that meant. I told him how emotional I got just watching the Olympic Gold Medal-
ists stand on the podium and sing the Star-Spangled Banner. The last words, “the land of the free and the home of the brave,” always bring tears. I never served in the military, but I do understand it took a lot of sacrifice to create this country. We talked about our responsibility to pass that to future generations. So, kids love swimming, biking, running, hiking and just moving. We grandparents generally like sitting, visiting, eating, puttering and telling stories. Contrasts! Grandparents, let’s work on passing down some of the stories we hold dear. Maybe even some of our ancestors’ stories. If you are at a loss for a story, come to the museum, bring a grandkid and find something they don’t have a clue about. An old phone, an oxen yoke, a bellows or something else can spark a conversation and help our children understand that life wasn’t always as it is now. It took some work to create the “land of the free and the home of the brave” that they enjoy today. In hindsight, I should have brought those preteens to the museum before we went swimming and shone them the picture of the 1920 swimmers. It’s on the organ behind the stairs. Talk about contrasts in swimming attire, and yet the smiles in the picture matched the girls’ faces while swimming and sliding at Lava. The 1920s to 2024 all enjoying the Good Life!

Superintendent Abrams welcomes parents and students to new school year
Dear Oneida School District Families and Community Members,
As we embark on a new school year, I want to extend a warm welcome back to each and every one of you. I am thrilled about the opportunities and events that lie ahead and am eager to share a few highlights as we kick off this academic year.
First, we are excited to announce the upcoming move into our new elementary school. Throughout the month of December, we will be transitioning to the new facility, with students beginning their classes there when they return from Christmas break. This new space will provide an enhanced learning environment for our youngest learners, and we look forward to seeing them thrive in their new surroundings.
In addition to our new building, we have been diligently working to enhance safety measures across our district. We are implementing improvements to the entrances at both the middle school and high school to ensure a secure environment for our students and staff. During the school day, the doors will be locked, and visitors will be required to check in at the offices to gain entrance. We are not quite
there yet but hope to have the systems in place within the next two weeks. We also want to extend a reminder to all drivers to be vigilant and adhere to the bus arm stop signs when following school buses. Last year, we experienced several violations, and it is crucial that we all do our part to keep our children safe on their way to and from school. This year, we will have school on three Fridays in September. As our state funding is closely tied to student attendance, we encourage families to ensure that students attend on these days. Your support in maintaining regular attendance is vital for our district’s success and the continued financial support of our educational programs. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your ongoing partnership with and commitment to the Oneida School District. Together, we can make this school year a fantastic experience for our students. Here’s to a successful year ahead!
Warm regards,
Jon Abrams, Superintendent

A Fair Value
Allison Eliason
Just as quickly as it came, the 2024 County Fair has suddenly gone. In a single week, youth from all around the valley presented, exhibited, shown, and displayed their various projects that have ranged from coffee cakes to market pigs. Filling the barns and the exhibit building, they showcased the hard work they have dedicated so much time to. Some might ask, is it worth it?
As a mom and as a leader, I can tell you without a doubt that helping youth participate in the 4H program takes diligence, commitment and a lot of patience. There are hours spent on every project whether it is carefully constructing a rocket just right or feeding out a steer for 5+ months. And not all of those hours are happy hours. With projects that are meant to be challenging, there are so many moments that are hard and even feel impossible to work through. It all begs the question again, is it worth it?
I can’t answer that question for everyone and maybe I shouldn’t try to answer it the week after fair. But I can tell you that if all you are working towards is a final ribbon, a final premium, or a final check then it probably will never be worth it. There are easier ways to make a dollar or have someone tell you that you make good cookies. You can collect a pile of ribbons much faster by ordering them on Amazon than working to earn them one at a time.
If participating in the county fair is about learning something new, taking on challenging projects, and experiencing life lessons, then the fair will always be worth it, regardless of the outcome. The participating youth usually say they do it because it’s fun or because they want to make some money, but nine times out of ten, those kids have parents that are looking for something so much more.
I can’t count the number of times that my kids have said they wanted to just quit their projects. There comes a
point in all of their projects that it just seems too hard, it isn’t fun or there is something far better they could be doing with their time. It’s hard to see the growth and progress when it comes incrementally and when they can’t see it, their efforts hardly seem worth the work. But then the day comes when they are ready to present their final projects and they do it with excitement and pride for what they have done.
By no means was our 4H experience perfect this year. We got poorer ribbons on some projects than we had hoped for and heard some criticism that was tough to take. But my kids did some of their best work along the way to the show ring and the exhibit hall. Winning the top spot would have been an incredible accomplishment, but I feel like a winner when I see the growth my kids have had as they raised their animals and made their home good projects from scratch.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m as competitive as any and we play to win. But when asked if all the hard work is worth it, the ribbons and the placing have nothing to do with my answer. Is it worth it to have a single judge give their opinion after just a few minutes of looking over my kid’s work and critiquing everything that they see? It is because along the way, my kids have had experiences that have taught them resilience, courage, commitment, responsibility, sacrifice, and dedication.
Is the time, energy, and exhaustion spent on fair worth it? Are the many months of training, learning and practicing worth the few minutes in the arena? You bet your boots they are, at least to this momma.
The ribbons will get dusty and fade and the money will be spent far too quickly, but the confidence and sense of accomplishment will never go away. The knowledge that they didn’t back down from a challenge will always be there that they can tap into the next time life is hard for them.
We would like to wish our Father Albert D. Jones a Happy 70th birthday.
Albert was born to Clifford and Ramona Jones on August 22, 1954 and was welcomed as the sixth child of eight.
Those first 70 years of childhood are always the hardest!
Wishing you many more with lots of love. Nichole, Allen, Chris, Mariann, and Sean
OBITUARIES
Rauhn R. Panting
April 5, 1953 ~ August 14, 2024
Rauhn R. Panting, born in Soda Springs, Idaho, on April 5, 1953, passed away on August 14, 2024, in Malad, Idaho, after many courageous battles with illness. Rauhn was a man who deeply cherished the time spent with his friends and loved ones, always valuing the moments shared in their company.
Family was the heart of Rauhn’s life. His wife, children, and grandchildren were his greatest treasures, and he dedicated himself to them with unwavering love and devotion. He eagerly anticipated their annual camping trips, where they created memories that will be cherished for generations.
Rauhn’s roots ran deep in the soil of the family ranch in Soda Springs, where he grew up with a passion for the outdoors and a love for animals. From an early age, he was surrounded by horses, sheep, dogs, and cows, and at just 11 years old, he began raising and showing purebred Suffolk lambs. In high school, Rauhn balanced his time between ranching, driving tractors, and playing basketball and football. Whenever he had the chance, he was out hunting and fishing, enjoying the natural beauty of Idaho.
After high school, Rauhn attended Utah State University before serving a two-year mission in the Alabama-Florida Mission (1972-74) for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His love for the people he served and the experiences he gained during his mission strengthened his faith and testimony.
Upon returning to Utah State University, Rauhn rekindled a relationship with Nancy Jackson, whom he had known before his mission. They fell in love, and on July 16, 1976, they were married in the Logan Temple. Together, they built a life filled with love, family, and service. Rauhn completed his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Animal Science, with a focus on Livestock Nutrition, while Nancy worked as a school teacher.
Rauhn knew early on that he wanted to be a county extension agent, a role that would allow him to work closely with people in agriculture. After spending a summer on his wife’s family ranch along the Bear River in Wyoming, he began his career working with the 4H program in St. Anthony. In the summer of 1979, he was transferred to Oneida County in Malad, where he would spend the next 34 years serving the community and people he loved as the University of Idaho County Extension Agent.
Throughout his 35-year career as a county extension agent, Rauhn
was a beloved figure in the Oneida County 4-H program and livestock shows. He judged livestock shows across Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and Oregon. For many years, he and his friends ran a successful livestock ultrasound business that took him throughout the Pacific and mountain west.
Rauhn was a faithful and dedicated member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in many capacities, including in bishoprics, on the High Council, and with the Young Men program. Of all his callings, teaching Sunday School was his most cherished role, where he served until he passed away.
Rauhn was preceded in death by his father, Farrell Blaine Panting; his mother, Margaret Ida Roper Panting; and his brother, Chad B Panting. He is survived by his loving wife, Nancy; his sister Mary (Matt) Jensen; his children, Rochelle (Jarad) Van Wagoner, Alex (Sarah), Amanda (Matt) Piccolo, and Brett (Kaitlyn); and his beloved thirteen grandchildren.
Rauhn’s legacy of love, service, and dedication to family and community will be remembered by all who knew him. He will be deeply missed.

New Windows at Stone Elementary
School is cool in a whole new way for the students and staff of Stone Elementary as they begin a new year. If there has been one priority over the last several years for the aging building, it has been to replace the decades old windows. Thankfully, this summer has been the summer to get it done. Windows might now seem all that big of a deal when it comes to learning, but on a hot August day, a little breeze is just the ticket to keeping students, and maybe even teachers, on point. A number of the old windows were stuck shut with paint and rust. Many others had been vandalized and broken and several screens were broken. In their condition, opening them was impossible and everyone had to simply deal with the old dilapidated windows.
Stone Elementary principal Mrs. Jeannie Reeder commented, “Replacing the windows has been a much needed improvement that has been on our list for years. We are so excited to have it done this year. Every window was replaced and they look amazing.” One of the students shared, “We can see through all the windows and they open now!”
With new and improved windows, the classrooms are much brighter, hap-
pier and comfortable, providing an environment that is sure to help promote learning.
Sitting out on the western edge of the Malad School District, it could be easy to overlook the needs of the Stone Elementary. The twenty or so students plus staff are just a drop in the bucket when compared to the other schools in the district. Making improvements to their school helps them feel seen.
With so few staff, the teachers, aids, lunch ladies, and principal have to take on more duties outside of their normal responsibilities to keep the school in running condition. While the old school has its charms and is a great place for learning, it also has its own hiccups that often require more help than what they alone can do.
A big thanks for the new windows goes to the school
board, Superintendent, and building maintenance who were able to get the project approved, funded and completed. With the window project behind them now, the students, parents, and staff look forward to more projects that can help the Stone Elementary provide the best learning opportunities for the students that come through its front door year after year. Because after all, school is cool!
