Homecoming Week in Malad
The Orange and Black returned to town for this year’s MHS homecoming over the weekend. Alumni were treated to a great week of Malad Sports, as the hometown Dragons lived up to their pre-game boasting by programmatically cooking, burning, and consuming the visiting Soda Springs Cardinals in a 35-6 offensive display on the gridiron, and dominating in a similar fashion on the volleyball court, beating Grace and Soda Springs on consecutive days. MHS soccer played hard fought games against a tough Snake River team, and held them to just a few goals.
During the week, the high school buzzed with a full schedule of events for students, from theme days to field events, a bonfire, and ultimately the Homecoming dance.
As is usually the case, class reunions were also part of the festivities, as the vaunted class of 1969 gathered on Saturday to take in the hometown air.
The Seniors won Homecoming week, as one might expect, followed by the Sophomores, Juniors, and Freshman in school points gathered over the week. The floats were ranked differently, with the Freshmen “Burn the Birds” float being named first place, the Seniors “Consume the Cardinals” second, the Sophomore’s “No Fly Zone” taking third, and the Juniors “The Cardinals are Cooked” rounding out the list.
In addition to the class floats, the parade saw the partici-
pation of the football team atop the traditional fire truck, the cross country, volleyball, soccer, dance, and cheer teams, as well as the Band, FFA, Student Council, MHS Faculty and Staff, School Board, and of course Homecoming Royalty. The parade followed its normal route past the hospi-

NEWS IN BRIEF
Kris Kristofferson dead at 88
Kris Kristofferson, a country music superstar and Hollywood actor, has died. Kristofferson died at his home in Maui, Hawaii on Saturday according to family spokeswoman Ebie McFarland. Kristofferson was a singer, but many of his songs were performed by others including “For the Good Times” and “Me and Bobby McGee”. He starred opposite Ellen Burstyn in the 1974 film “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”, starred opposite Barbra Streisand in the 1976 “A Star is Born”, and Wesley Snipes in “Blade”. Kristofferson alongside Willie Nelson, John Prine, and Tom T. Hall represented a new era of country singers. Nelson said in a 2009 award ceremony for Kristofferson, “There’s no better songwriter alive than Kris Kristofferson… Everything he writes is a standard and we’re all just going to have to live with that.” According to East Idaho News, he was a Golden Gloves boxer and football player in college. He received a masters degree in English from Merton College at the University of Oxford in England. He later turned down teaching at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York. He instead chose to pursue songwriting in Nashville. Some of Kristofferson’s hit songs include “Why Me,” “Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do),” “Watch Closely Now,” “Desperados Waiting for a Train,” “A Song I’d Like to Sing” and “Jesus Was a Capricorn.” In 1973 he married fellow songwriter Rita Coolidge; they later divorced in 1980. He retired from performing and recording in 2021. Thousands told to stay home after chemical plant fire
Thousands of people were told to stay home with their windows closed after a fire at a Georgia industrial plant caused a chemical reaction and released potentially harmful chlorine in the air. Businesses and residents were told to evacuate in nearby areas around the BioLab plant. A shelter-in-place advisory is ongoing for over 90,000 people in surrounding Rockdale County. The plume from the chemical reaction could be seen for miles. Officials advised to close windows and turn air conditioners off. According to CNN, air quality surveys “revealed the harmful irritant chlorine” coming from the facility. Exposure to chlorine can cause burning eyes, nose and mouth. It can also cause nausea, coughing, choking, vomiting, headaches, and dizziness. Nearby counties have also reported the smell of bleach or chemicals in the air. The fire started on the roof around 5:00 a.m.. Firefighters were able to contain the fire but it reignited hours later, Rockdale County Sheriff Eric Levett said. The fire was extinguished around 4:00 p.m. but the roof later collapsed.
Former ISU football coach pleads guilty to murder
DaVonte’ Neal was the assistant coach for the Bengals when he was indicted and arrested in 2022 for the 2017 shooting death of Bryan Burns. Neal pled guilty to second-degree murder after he was initially charged for first-degree murder according to Maricopa County Court records. He will be sentenced on October 4th, 2024. According to previous Statesman reporting, Neal was also charged with drive-by shooting and discharge of a weapon at a structure.

Halloween talks are set for the Oneida County Library
As a part of its yearly Halloween tradition, the Oneida County Library is once again planning for its Halloween night event. For the past several years, the library has hosted the talents of folklorist and librarian Elizabeth Kent and noted Cache valley author John Olsen, who have brought the creepy to town with stories from fact and fiction, as well as their own personal experiences. Halloween night will be October 23.
Elizabeth Kent is trained in Folklore, and studied at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, where she earned her Masters degree in Folklore and Ethnology. She also has a Masters in Library Science from the University of Kentucky, and is a practiced researcher. In past events, Kent has presented talks on Welsh folk traditions, supernatural stories related to Malad, and the history of Halloween itself. This year, she plans to take on a story that is based in reality, but has become heavily mythologized—the story of Jack the Ripper. Often viewed as the first “modern serial killer,” the unknown perpetrator of at least five murders in high Victorian London’s Whitechapel district has become a much larger than life figure in the intervening century and a half since the events that made history.
The Ripper murders were a culmination of the fascination with crime in late nineteenth century England that coincided with the peak of newspaper, magazine, and other written content. The time period overlaps with the writings of Arthur Conan Doyle, for instance, as well as the beginning of modern forensic science, and the concept of scientific policing. In many ways, it was the combination of the two forces that shaped what we think of as the “true crime” space today, and “Ripperology” is a worldwide phenomenon. Although the murders themselves were very real, Jack the Ripper has become the subject of fictional tellings spanning from the extremely low-budget (Lucio Fulci’s “New York Rip -
per” for instance) to the awarding (the Hughes Brothers’ “From Hell” and Alan Moore’s graphic novel it was based on ), as well as countless novels, TV episodes, comic books, and even Scooby-Doo outings.
John Olsen, for his part, has treated Malad to stories collected from the Cache Valley and surrounding areas, including southern Idaho. As a writer, his best selling “Stranger Bridgerland” books have covered a lot of bases as far as the unknown and unexplained go. He has spoken to spellbound audiences in the past about his own experiences in the haunted house he grew up in, as well as some of the experiences he has not been able to explain in his adult life. More than anything, Olsen focuses on presenting stories told to him by the many people he encounters who “swear you won’t believe what I’m going to tell you…”
Some of those stories deal with topics such as bigfoot, ghosts, puckwudgies, shadow people, black eyed children, skinwalkers, and more.
While the presentations will not be graphic or overly grisly, the event is planned with teens to adults in mind, rather than small children. Refreshments, and a chance to mingle and chat with the speakers will be available to those in attendance.
The Malad High School Class of 1969 held its 55th class reunion on Saturday, September 28, 2024, with 32 class members present. The event was held in Malad Middle School where Marla Jones served a baked chicken dinner.
Along with visiting, class members and guests had a chance to reminisce about the 23 class members who have passed away, peruse memorabilia from their school years, and look at a display of magazine pictures depicting events from 1969 that was prepared by Lael Christophersen.
With Stella Sandquist as emcee, the program began with small ceramic dragons and the orange and black wooden floral centerpieces awarded as prizes during a quiz about events and people important to the class. The main part of the program was a video prepared by John Moss. Pictures of those who
have passed away brought back memories, especially one of Stan Palmer singing. Each member of the class had sent in photos, and the video progressed through all members of the class, ending with the demolition of the old high school, which this class attended. The program concluded with everyone singing the high school song, accompanied by Janice Palmer. Almost all class members and guests then drove to the current elementary school where Superintendent Jon Abrams guided tours. The Class of 1969 was the fourth class to enter the current school that was built in 1954 and that will be demolished in the spring of 2025. The class then toured the new elementary school and were impressed by the layout, size of classrooms, security provisions, and construction plans.

City Council Report—September
The Malad City Council met for a regular meeting on September 4. The meeting was moved from its conventional time in order to allow for a hearing on the budget to be completed by an early enough point in the calendar.
Sheriff Sheriff Arne Jones spoke to the city council about the sheriff’s budget. The budget for the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office is divided between the county and the city. A service contract is in place for the city. The sheriff noted that the department is down two employees at the moment, but that the contract is for services rather than a particular number of employees. Sheriff Jones also stated that a percentage of the total budget would be significantly higher on a per employee basis.
Sheriff Jones presented data regarding the amount Aberdeen pays the Bingham County Sheriff’s department to provide fewer services for fewer hours at a higher rate.
The exact amount of the total budget paid by the city was discussed. A percentage of the total of around 25% of the department’s budget was considered by the city and the sheriff. The county portion of the budget is set separately, and there was some discussion of making the process more streamlined in the future.
The salaries for employees not currently on the payroll is included because it is necessary to have the money allocated before hiring for a position into a fiscal year. Brett Evanson examined the contract between the school district and the Sheriff’s Office, and explained that a similar arrangement could be made with the city, such that any unexpended funds would be returned to the city.
The way that tickets are recorded from infractions on the electronic ticketing system was discussed. The system requires the officer to indicate the agency to whom the infraction is assigned. The default setting of “Oneida County” resulted in many citations being assigned to the county rather than the city, and vice versa. The problem is being examined, and it is believed that a solution is in place, and the citations will be double-checked by the sheriff’s office in the meantime as an added measure.
Doug Williams spoke to the council about some of the issues raised by the sheriff. Williams won the Republican primary for the office for Oneida county, and is running against Dave Murphy in this November’s general election.
Williams has been working to present a monthly report to the city council detailing the nature and number of cases that are being worked by the office. He discussed some of the trends he was seeing in local crime, which included internet based crimes involving children, among others.
Brett Evanson
During the last meeting, potential compensation for the chair of the planning and zoning commission was discussed, and Evanson was asked to look into it. After examining the statute and asking other representatives in other counties, he was unable to find evidence of a stipend, or similar mechanism for compensation, but he did find examples of per diem pay for meetings and other events, at a rate of $60, which is below the IRS rate of $65 for per diem expenses. Evanson suggested that a stipend might be more problematic, but that city could pursue a route of per diem or other compensation. The PZ Chair position was recently provided with a phone, which is designated for the specific use of the PZ Chairperson. Over the last few meetings, the city council has discussed an excavation ordinance, which would require anyone digging under city roads to do a bond in order to protect the city against any damage. The first draft of a city ordinance is being worked on by Evanson. In researching the issue, City Clerk Susan Wittman found a similar ordinance recently proposed by the city of Soda Springs. Evanson used the same amount, $1500, as the bond amount. The grant administration contracts were reviewed by Evanson, who found Forsgren and SICOG’s grants related to the trees and pathway through the park to be good. Trevor Robinson’s contract as the city’s arborist for the purposes of the grant was also considered to be in good shape. Robinson will be paid out
of the grant funds, and will specifically work with a tree committee established for the purpose of overseeing the tree project in the park.
Notice letters for ordinance violations were sent out from the city attorney, responding to situations noted by Code Enforcement Officer John Christophersen.
Code Enforcement
John Christophersen noted that the letters sent out by Evanson were generally very effective at getting ordinance violations attended to, though there were still some properties in the city that had become ongoing issues with regard to compliance. The steps for the city’s remediation involve a verbal warning, a letter, and then an infraction citation. Beyond that, the remedies are more serious, and Christophersen hoped that it would not come to any further action beyond the issuing of infraction citations.
Violations can be appealed to the city if the recipient feels they have been improperly issued.
A grant to potentially fund a new dog pound for the city is currently being pursued.
An MOU between the Sheriff’s Office and the Code Enforcement Officer about sharing information between the two departments was discussed. Reports of raccoons on the east side of town have been received a number of times.
Lance Tripp
A recently approved Recreational Board member did not take the position, leaving a vacancy in need of appointment, though that was not possible in time for the meeting. Soccer has started, and the rosters are reported to be full, with around 16-18 teams involved. Scott Ray reported that the meetings will be the first Thursday of the month.
Tripp informed the Sheriff that the cameras in the park would be in place soon, and a meeting would be held between stakeholders.
Tyler Webster
Webster reported that the wastewater treatment plant is nearly completed, and just awaiting some final adjustments.
Summer help will be over by the end of the month, and Webster congratulated them on the good job they’ve done.
Webster reported that the city had failed a bacteria test in the water system. The last time the city encountered a failure, it turned out to be an issue with the way the sample was taken. Webster stated that the process for testing the tanks can last up to a week. Webster asked whether the city was interested in pursuing a drone inspection of the tanks, which are much less disruptive. The tanks are supposed to be drained and cleaned every five years, but Webster was unsure exactly how long it had been, as he had only been in the position for three years and could not locate records regarding it. In the meantime, Webster will be shadowing the testing company to make sure the city is performing the testing correctly.
Ed Jones
Ed and Wendy Jones spoke to the city council about a drain problem on Bannock street near the hospital. After examining the water runoff from first street, and some of the trees surrounding the ditches that complete the drainage system, Ed discovered a pipe that potentially was out of place, allowing vegetation to occlude some of the flow-through area. The Joneses suggested that cleaning out that ditch area might at least help mitigate the problem. City Superintendent Tyler Webster was surprised that the drainage involved a ditch at all, as he was under the impression that the collection led to the city park. The split to the lots behind Bush avenue was not on the crew’s radar. Webster said that given that information, cleaning out the ditch and alleviating the problem should be fairly easy, and would be eliminate an ongoing headache.
Kay and Gene Caldwell
Kay Caldwell spoke to the city council about the need for a speed limit sign on 70 E. Caldwell told the council that cars drive much too fast on the road, and that the traffic was dangerous on the road. At present, there is no post-
ed speed limit. While there was some agreement that the sign may not make a difference, it was also agreed that it couldn’t hurt the situation. Caldwell reported that there were often situations where families were walking the street with small children, and that the driving was at times unsafe.
The city council encouraged the public to contact the Code Enforcement Officer to report ordinance and code violations, including traffic issues as well as nuisance issues.
Tyler Webster said that he would check to make sure putting the sign up was okay with the relevant authorities and move forward to install it.
Molly Besaris
Besaris explained that during a recent weigh-station closure officials were in the area weighing trucks to make sure they were on the correct routes for their weight. Trucks in the category up to 129,000 pounds require specific routes.
The officials who were weighing trucks during the recent period found that the number of trucks needing the 129,000 pound route was large enough that the issue required further exploration. She approached the council with a proposal to pursue a grant to cover a $10K traffic study of a possible 129K route, which would be the first necessary step toward pursuing one.
The areas of the city that the largest trucks utilize, which goes from Bannock out to St. John area.
In 2009, legislation was passed that gave the counties time to submit a freight route but the process had not been completed. As a result, some of the routes through the county have been approved, but others have not.
Keller is the only local company can perform the study and design the route 129 plan, and provide the information needed to get the city and county roads within compliance.
During the recent period in which DOT was in the county, they held up a number of vehicles for inspection as a result of compliance issues, which resulted in lost time and revenue. As some of the county roads are not in compliance, according to Besaris, this will continue to be a problem until it is corrected.
Besaris is one the freight advisory committee for the state, which has an allocation of funds for the state. Funds should be available in 2027 for road and construction upgrades, but will not be available unless the city and county are on the freight plan.
Besaris asked for approval to fill out an application for funds to pay for a study for the 129K route plan. The
application would result in a study by an engineer, but should not result in any drawbacks for the city and county.
Tyler Webster asked what the study would look at specifically.
Besaris stated that she believed the study would perform core samples of the road and the aprons and culverts, as well as weight capacity on bridges.
Councilmember Tripp motioned to approve Molly Besaris to pursue an LHTAC grant to study the route.
Grants
Grants related to a gravel walking path around the north part of City Park, as well as a sprinkler system, and trees, was discussed. The walking path will go east to west. The south half of the south part of the park will be reserved for ball diamonds. Grass for the north park and the south part of the park are not included in the grant, and the city council needs to determine whether they will plant grass or not, though not as a part of the grants in question.
The contract with Forsgren to engineer the walking path for the Forest Service grant was passed, with Tyrell Neal voting nay. The contract for the SICOG administration of the funds was approved, with Neal again voting nay.
The contract with the arborist Trevor Robinson was also approved, with Neal a nay.
Misc
Lance Tripp updated the council on progress toward acquiring an app for the Recreation Department to facilitate registration, scheduling, and other necessary elements of the program. A motion to approve a one year trial of the “Team Sideline” app was approved for up to $768 annually.
The Hungry Heifer applied for a roadside business license, which was approved.
The question about when the pallet operation would be fully moved to the new location south of town was raised. The city council was not completely sure, but it was noted by a number of people that downtown traffic related to the pallet operation had significantly decreased as a result of the move.
The issue of painted arrows for race direction was raised. Tyrell Neal suggested that temporary marking, such as chalk, would be a better alternative than paint that can last many months before it fades or weathers away.
Speed limit signs on 100 West were in stock and ready to be installed.
Possibilities for projects to qualify for city beautification grants were discussed.
Malad City Newsletter October 2024
The month of February is National Random Acts of Kindness Month. August is National Civility Month, and November 13 is World Kindness Day. However, in these weeks leading up to the General Election, it seems that there is so much contention in our country. October is such a beautiful month in Oneida County. Let’s make it our Kindness Month. See if you can reach out to one person a day during the month of October and render an act of kindness, whether it’s an encouraging word or just a smile. It doesn’t take a lot to brighten someone’s day.
I really like this quote by Eric Hoffer, “Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.”
I have noticed that members of our community are very loving and come together when friends or neighbors are going through a difficult trial. That is when there is an obvious need. Maybe we can take it a step further and show kindness when there isn’t an obvious need. Another quote, by Wendy Mass, “The Candymakers”: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.”
Here are some ideas garnered from various sources of easy ways to show kindness:
• Share a snack – a good one for students!
• Pick up litter
• Give others the benefit of the doubt
• Thank a teacher
• Read with a child
• Compliment with reckless abandon!
• Acknowledge someone who deserves praise
• Support locally owned businesses
• Open doors for others
• Text or send someone a positive message
• Share a favorite song or poem with someone
• Give an unexpected gift
• Encourage a friend
• Refrain from gossip
• Visit someone who is sick or who is a shut-in
• Post something positive on social media
• Smile!
Enjoy a month of showing kindness! And don’t forget to be kind to yourself!
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
Deer hunting has always been a big part of life for many residents in Oneida County. Many of us have very fond memories of hunting excursions with family and friends in the surrounding mountains. Further, we hope to make memories this hunting season and in the future that we can cherish. That being stated, I am writing this letter to share with you a relatively recent discovery of mine and to seek your help in conducting a research project about mule deer antlers and antler quality that could prove beneficial for hunters and game management agencies.
To be brief, a colleague of mine has been collecting shed antlers from the same individual mule deer bucks for the last nine years. This has provided a treasure trove of antler data that he and I have been able to analyze. We have compared the annual antler growth rates for each individual buck (roughly 60 different individual bucks). The results show certain antler measurements change at a relatively predictable rate each year. We believe that these growth rates make it possible to determine the age of harvested bucks by their antlers and that the age of shed antlers can also be determined with a high degree of confidence (Currently, the only way to age a mule deer buck is by pulling teeth and sending them to a lab or by making an educated guess based off teeth attrition). Furthermore, antler characteristics allow us to predict how large the antlers of an adolescent buck will become once he reaches maturity. Whether a person is a meat hunter or a trophy hunter, such knowledge should prove valuable in harvest selection and allow each of us to be more informed in our harvest decisions.
While much effort has gone into our research project, we have one critical step that we cannot accomplish without your support. That step is: utilizing our aging methodology to compare with deer of known ages. This can be best accomplished with your help. I have placed fliers around town with the following information soliciting your assistance: Your help is requested in completing a research project on mule deer age and antler quality.
Project Goals:
1. Defining correlation between antler measurements, deer age, and antler quality.
2. Recognizing antler characteristics that identify antler growth potential of individual deer.
3. Refining methodology for aging mule deer via antler measurements.
Benefits to Participating Hunters:
1. Will receive an accurate age of your harvested buck at no cost.
2. Provide important data for utilization by Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
3. Assist in furthering our understanding of deer age and antler quality.
Requirements of Hunters:
1. Willingness to loan antlers for measurement and analysis.
2. Deliver antlers and front incisors (front bottom teeth) of your harvested mule deer to 220 West 600 North Malad, ID 83252 on any evening between October 10th and October 24th, 2024 or anytime on October 25th, 2024.
3. Fill out a proxy statement that will be provided at drop off including: name, phone number, address, license number, tag number, hunt unit, date killed, and signature.
4. Please call one of the following individuals to schedule a drop off time.
Logan Pfeiffer (208) 766-3310
available October 10th-12th, 25th
Lee Pfeiffer (208) 851-1264 available October 10th-12th, 20th25th
McKay McKinnon (208) 604-2331
available October 13th-19th
Process:
Antlers will be analyzed on October 25th and 26th, 2024. Incisors (teeth) will be sent to Matson’s Lab in Manhattan, MT for aging analysis. We will let you know age results once teeth analysis is accomplished. Antlers can be picked up at the same address or will be returned to the owner as soon as possible after October 26th, 2024. Antler measurements and teeth analysis results will be given to Idaho Department of Fish and Game for further research.
All antler sizes are NEEDED and WELCOME.
It should be noted we have shared our findings with Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG). Conversations with them have been encouraging and informative. I have made them aware that I would be reaching out to the residents of Oneida County seeking your assistance in this project, and that I would be giving them our results.
I want to emphasis two important items. First, I do not represent IDFG in any way and am doing this project on my own accord. However, I am extremely grateful for the service rendered by IDFG and have great respect for many of their employees. Secondly, I am doing this project because I recognize the potential benefits that it has for mule deer, buck quality, and hunters. This is my way of trying to be a good steward of the land and give service to our community. Additionally, I believe the results of this project may give further insight into how each of us can be better decision makers when it comes to harvesting mule deer.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
Sincerely, Logan Pfeiffer (208) 766-3310 or pfe06001@byui.edu
War on Weeds—weeds are everybody’s problem
THE ISSUE: Tall hawkweed
Tall hawkweed (Hieracium piloselloides) is a perennial herb native to Europe. It was originally introduced on the east coast of the U.S. It invades disturbed areas, pastures, and meadows. It can even grow well in poor soil that contains sand, gravel and rocks.
Tall hawkweed produces flowering stalks that can grow up to 3 feet tall. Early in its lifecycle it forms a rosette of leaves that are about 1.5 inches long and ¼ to 1inch wide. After it bolts yellow ray flowers like that of a dandelion are produced on leafless stems. When stems are cut or damaged, they weep a milky latex sap. Tall hawkweed reproduces mainly by seed but it can reproduce through rhizomes (underground stems) as well.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Options:
• Prevention— Learn to identify this plant. Never transport unknown plant material. Always plant clean seed!
• Mechanical— Hand digging or pulling can be effective on small infestations. Remove as much of the roots as possible. Tillage is not recommended because it can reproduce from rhi-
zomes, allowing it to spread.
• Cultural— Establish a healthy stand of beneficial plants that will compete for essential resources.
• Chemical—Refer to https:// pnwhandbooks.org/weed then search “hawkweed”. Always read and follow herbicide label directions!

Pheasant stocking delayed to reduce congestion
Idaho Fish and Game Dept.
To avoid conflicts with deer hunters and to reduce hunter congestion, Idaho Fish and Game will once again begin stocking pheasants at the Portneuf Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in southeast Idaho after Oct. 24, the final day of general deer season in the Southeast Region.
However, pheasant stocking will take place at Sterling WMA near Aberdeen in time for the youth pheasant season which kicks off this Saturday, Oct. 5, and runs through Oct. 11. For a full list of pheasant stocking areas for the fall and number of birds to be stocked, go to the Pheasant Stocking Program webpage (https://idfg.idaho. gov/hunt/pheasant/stocking) and click on each location.
As a reminder, youth pheasant season allows licensed hunters 17 years and younger to get out in the field to pursue pheasant during a special week set aside just for them!
Young hunters must have a valid Idaho hunting license or an Idaho Hunting Passport, and they must be accompanied by an Idaho-licensed hunter aged 18 years or older. Anyone 18 years or older cannot hunt during the youth hunt.
Youth hunters do not need an Upland Game Bird Permit to hunt where birds are stocked, but they are required to wear at least 36 squares inches of visible hunter orange above the waist during the pheasant season while hunting at those locations. A hunter orange hat meets this requirement.
Pheasant hunting for all ages starts Oct. 12 or Oct. 19, depending on which part of the state you plan to hunt. As a reminder, there is a five-day delay for nonresident participation in general pheasant seasons; however, this does not apply to the youth season.
For full pheasant hunting rules, refer to the 2024-25 Idaho Upland Game, Turkey and Furbearer rules booklet (https://idfg.idaho.gov/ sites/default/files/seasons-rules-upland-game-2024-2025.pdf).
There’s More to “Farm to Table” than you’d think
There are very few inventions or advancements that have changed the cattle industry. For centuries, cowboys have herded cattle on horseback, branded with a fired hot iron, doctored sick cattle by heading and heeling, and driven cattle on foot for miles to turn out on the summer range just like they did when the west was settled. But there is no denying that the industry can’t boast of its boom without giving credit to the revolution of transportation.
The first and greatest revolution began with the railroad. The ability to transport cattle beyond where they could get by hoof created possibilities cattle ranchers had only dreamed of as the railways began crossing the country in the late 1800s. Beef markets began to open up in new ways, making the industry far more profitable.
As technology continued to change transportation with far more fast moving vehicles in the 1900s, new problems arose that spelled the end of the rail-car cattle transport era. In short, it was becoming harder and more dangerous for large herds to trail to stockyards with the growing traffic of speeding vehicles. Instead of hauling live cattle, the refrigerated rail-car made it possible to transport beef to markets across the country without the long cattle drives.
With the changing times, growing cities, and new highway systems, there became an even greater need for the means to haul livestock. Whether it was transporting cattle to new owners, summer pasture, or to be processed, hoofing it was hardly an option anymore. This necessitated a creative solution and before long, the first livestock wagons were created.
Most wagons were homemade but eventually the stock trailers made on the assembly line were far superior to what could be with scrap wood and metal on the farm. The old cowboys working through the transition recalled how the sturdy, yet lightweight trailers were a dream to pull around, whether it was across the range or on the highway.
Continued development brought with it livestock trailers on a large scale. Known as “bull wagons” or “cattle haulers,” these semi-truck driven trailers once again expanded just how far cattlemen could take their business. With the possibility of moving hundreds of cattle thousands of miles with ease, ranchers could ship to feedlots or stockyards across the country or run large herds on far off ranges.
It isn’t an uncommon sight to see bull wagons full of cattle running up and down the freeway, bouncing across a dirt road or navigating through a busy city. Fall often brings a surge in cattle
hauler traffic as they are bringing home cattle from summer range or shipping out calves headed to feedlots in the midwest.
Hauling cattle long distances by these means is not just a quicker, more efficient means to get the work done, but it can be a far less stressful endeavor for the cows and the cowboys. I say “less” stressful intentionally because there is no denying that there is some stress on cattle hauling them. But it is far less than hoofing it so many miles or the myriad of other risks that arise with long cattle drives.
Bull wagons might appear to be massive trailers used to shove as many animals in as possible, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. They have been carefully designed with the health and safety of the livestock and the ranchers loading them.
Overcrowded trailers run the risk of injuring cows and cowboys alike, an outcome nobody wants. When loading cattle, careful planning is used concerning the condition of the cattle, their size, the distance they are traveling and even the weather to ensure a safe haul. The cattle numbers are also decided on the weight they can haul as the trucks are regulated based on the size of their trailer and number of axles.
The inside of a cattle hauler is designed with non-slip flooring, several
partitions, secure latches, heavy duty gates and a series of ramps to easily move cattle through it. It is divided into four major sections- the nose, the deck, the belly, the doghouse, and the back.
The nose is the very front of the trailer where it is hooked to the semi. The deck is the top half of the middle section with the belly on the bottom half. The dog house, named because it is a smaller space, is on the top of the back end. As it has less vertical space, it is reserved for smaller cows usually under 700 pounds.
Once the cattle are loaded, the priority of cattle haulers is to them where they are going. Their goal is to make it to the final destination with as few stops as possible and to have the cattle off-loaded in a timely way. All in the attempt to cause as little stress on the cattle as possible.
The growth, progress and technology of our present day continues to expand the possibilities of the cattle industry. Many clever, creative, and capable hands and minds have forged the means to take beef from the backroads of the range to the streets of the inner city grocery store for families across the country to enjoy. The next time you pass a bull wagon coming down the road, give a little shout out to crucial part they play in helping put food on your table.

Today is September 26 and as I sit down to write, there is only one topic that fills my head, Ann Alger. Today would have been her 68th birthday and we would have had cake, a really good cake. She would have baked it herself, because she was the best cake baker and she wanted the best cake, which was just fine with the rest of us. Mrs. Alger was a personality. She was famous for lots of things: singing, baking, stating her mind and loving the people around her were a few.
She could sing. It came naturally and from her heart. She shared her voice and her opinions about music readily. I have always loved the Beatles, and she never appreciated the Fab Four, which was a point of contention between us. But somehow the friendship endured.
We did agree totally on her baking talent though. She made about a million cupcakes and decorated each one for Brett’s wedding reception. Those cupcakes not only looked fabulous, they tasted even better. She worked hard for her friends.
Back when our kids were in elementary school History Fair was a big deal. Our sons, Toshi and Brandon, were the same age and decided to do a project together. Their topic was the Bill of Rights. Well, I was pretty hands on. I understood the process and jumped right in with the boys. Mrs. Alger, on the other hand, was “If they want to do it, they can figure it out.” She warned me

from the get-go there would be no intervening on her part. I could live with that. So, there were a couple weeks of intense build-the-board, research-the-topic, practice-a-presentation…. you get the idea. The boys were ready. Mrs. Alger hadn’t shown up for a single session and reminded me often that it really wasn’t my project but the boys’. Well, the Regional Fair in Pocatello arrived and so did Mrs. Alger…along with her protest sign. “Down with History Fair, Too Much Parent Involvement.” I could have smacked her. She just grinned and walked around with her sign all day. I grinned right back at her when the boys qualified for the state competition. Friends don’t always agree!
So, Ann, you were one of a kind. We caught Mormon Crickets together, had retro dinners, played Bubkas, grilled shish-ka-bobs, took the kids to LaaaVaaa (your pronunciation) and spent countless hours Living the Good Life. I think of you often, and always on September 26. I hope we get to have cupcakes together again! And just for the record, I have enjoyed writing this little tribute to my friend. It makes me feel good. So, think about a loved one who has moved on, take a minute and write your thoughts down. Writing about the Good Life, preserves the Good Life. If you really want to do some preserving enter it in Memories on Family Search. Come to the Family History Library and we’ll teach you how. Really!

BLM to conduct prescribed burns in John Evans Canyon west of Malad
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Idaho Falls District in cooperation with Idaho Department of Fish and Game will conduct two prescribed burns in John Evans Canyon, 8 miles west of Malad in October and possibly into November. One burn will be 190 acres and the other will be 264 acres. Smoke will be visible from Malad and the I-15 corridor.
The planned burn windows are Oct. 1 through Oct. 7 and Oct. 16 through the end of November; this is to minimize impacts during the first week of the unit 73 antlered deer hunt. Actual ignition date and times will be determined by weather and fuel conditions.
“The planned prescribed fires will target 454 acres of Douglas fir and aspen stands,”
said BLM Pocatello Field Office Manager Blaine Newman. “Our objectives are to provide for public and firefighter safety while improving wildlife habitat, promoting aspen growth, and reducing fuels for future wildfires.”
Fire managers will ignite the prescribed burns over a multiday period. After the active burning is finished, crews will mopup, patrol and monitor the fire area.
This prescribed burn is a “broadcast burn,” which means once crews have ignited the burn, low to moderate intensity fire will be allowed to consume fuels across the forest floor within the unit boundaries.
For more information on this project, please call the BLM Pocatello Field Office at 208-478-6340.

Lady Dragons VB continues strong season, beat Grace; Soda
Allison Eliason
It may have felt like a slow start for the Lady Dragons as they began their 2024 volleyball season, but they are in their swing now as they add two more wins to their record. Their defeat over the Grace Grizzlies and Soda Springs Cardinals kept their home winning streak alive, a streak they have no intention of letting go.
Hosting Grace on Wednesday, September 25, the Lady Dragons jumped to an impressive lead to begin the first game. Riglee Peterson led the assault from the service line, pounding over a series of serves that the Grizzlies just couldn’t handle. Over the three games, Peterson led out with service aces, tallying up 6. On the occasion that Grace was able to respond in kind, the Malad defense was quick to pop up the ball with passes setter Izzy Haycock pushed across the net for her high-level hitters to attack. Despite the rally happening on the court, the scoreboard favored only the Lady Dragons as they pulled ahead 11-0.
Eventually the Grizzlies were able to ease back into the game, but it was too little too late as game one closed out 25-8.
Grace wasn’t going to be caught on their heels to begin the game again as the two teams moved into game two. Suddenly, the Grizzlies were bringing a challenging game as they began putting up blocks, digging the big hits, and returning them with scoring hits of their own.
Outside hitter Brinley Clark faced down a relentless double block that was present with nearly every attack she sent across the net. Rather than feeling frustrated or defeated, Clark turned strategic to outplay her opponent. In one instance, after pounding through two hits that were passed up, Clark went up for the third, approaching just as she had before. But just as she made contact with the ball, she pulled power to tip the ball over the block and short of the back row defense. Clark tallied up 19 kills against the Grizzlies.
Clark wasn’t the only hitter to challenge Grace. Middle hitter Olivia Nelson added another 9 kills, Brynnlee Jones with 5, and Paityn Ward and Mady Vanbebber with three each. The five solid Malad hitters make the battle at the net a contest difficult for any opponent.
Despite their great play, the Lady Dragons faltered as they started into game two, giving the Grizzlies a flicker of hope. But digging deep, Malad settled back into their usual groove of quick reflexes, gritty dives, and clever
plays. From the sidelines, Head Coach Camie Tripp could be heard encouraging her team with comments, like “Great clean up!” and “Yes! That’s how we hit!” The Lady Dragons pulled ahead in a significant way to win the second game, 25-12.
With two games behind them and pushing through their small slump, Malad was confident that they could win out the match in their third game. But Grace wasn’t ready to give up quite yet and was determined to put everything out on the court. The Lady Dragon defense was ready for whatever the Grizzlies would attempt and demonstrated their prowess play after play.
One of Malad’s greatest defensive strengths is their grit, their determination to give the game everything they had. This grit lends to scrappy play that not only appears to be a valiant effort, but is an effort that allows them to dominate their opponents.
Haycock and Ward showcased Lady Dragon grit when the Grizzly’s outside hitter managed to tool their attack off the Malad block. Knowing that her teammate had last touched the ball, Ward dove to pop the ball back into play. While Ward kept the ball up, it still shanked haphazardly back into the court. To give her team the best chance to send the ball across the net, Haycock dove again to stop the ball from sailing out of play and send it high enough to be played with a more intentional hit.
Back row defenders Peterson, Jones, Anistyn Tovey, and Brylee Oglesbee displayed similar efforts throughout the game, making it nearly impossible for Grace to bring down a successful attack. Libero Peterson led the team with digs, totalling up 26, with Jones adding 21.
The Lady Dragons swept the night as they won the third game 25-11.
Thursday, September 26, appeared to be just a continuation of the domination that had taken place just the night before as Malad hosted Soda Springs. The Cardinals found their greatest success of the match in their opening game. Unfortunately for them, they were only able to post 13 points to Malad’s 25. From there, it seemed like hardly a contest as the Lady Dragons continued to win out over and over. Game two concluded with a final score of 25-9, followed by a matching winning 25-10 in the third game.
The Lady Dragons have a full week of volleyball ahead of them as they host the Aberdeen Tigers on Tuesday, October 1 and then Declo on Wednesday, October 2. Over the weekend, they will hold their annual two day tournament on Friday and Saturday.

A Fun FCCLA Recap
Aubree Palmer
The members, old and new, of Family Career Community Leaders of America have been taking advantage of every opportunity to become better leaders and friends with those around them! September 20th featured the 2024-2025 FCCLA opening social which supplied delicious caramel apples and popcorn with Disney’s Hercules playing movie theater style in the commons. The next day, the FCCLA Chapter Officers gathered together to partake in some fun team bonding activities! These activities included a large and fun scavenger hunt around Malad, training from Malad’s local state officer Aubree Palmer, and pizza to finish the fun day off. Finally to close September’s FCCLA’s fabulous activities, Idaho FCCLA’s State First Vice President Aubree Palmer traveled to the executive council to deliberate important matters on a state-wide level.
When asked about highlights of her two-day trip to Boise Idaho, Aubree remarked, “It was truly one of the best times I’ve had yet in FCCLA. Not only did I get to jump into the arms of my state team, whom I love very much, but I was also exposed to some amazing once-ina-lifetime experiences. Traveling through the Boise tunnels to get to the state capitol, conducting in the capitol, leading committees with experienced advisors and adults in FCCLA, and appealing to the FCCLA State Board were experiences that I will forever cherish. Being a state officer gives me the chance to expand my horizons past what a normal teen does. Having to lead committees of adults and present them to the board was nerve-wracking, yet it was an amazing situation in which I feel incredibly lucky to have taken part.”
well with a winning score of 56-6 for the JV team, and 35-6 for the Varsity team. Brady Showell scored three touchdowns as well as a two point conversion. Matt Briscoe scored a single touchdown, as well as Holdyn Tubbs who also scored a two point conversion on top of his touchdown. We also had Brycen Howe score our first point after touchdown in several years. Many of the players thought they did really well as a team on communication and moving together to score. They thought it helped them to beat the opposing team a lot better. Our next game will be October 4, 2024 against Wendell @ Malad.

Homecoming Dance!

On September 28th, Malad had their Homecoming dance! The commons were packed with mosh pitting, refreshments, and a DJ! Lights and balloons surrounded the DJ, Jeff Olson, to make a lively ambiance. He had a request list that students could write songs to dance to. Lemonade and treats made the bustling crowd even more excited. It was a great way to end the 2024 Homecoming festivities!

Dragons Cook the Cardinals 35-6 for Homecoming
Allison Eliason
The Dragon football team ended homecoming week in a big way as they dominated their third home game of the season against the Soda Springs Cardinals on Friday, September 20.
The game didn’t take long to turn in Malad’s favor as they scored their opening drive that consisted of just two plays. Starting at the thirty yard line after returning the Cardinal’s kickoff, the Dragons converted their first drive into their first touchdown. Brady Showell, receiving the snap, stepped back to throw the short pass to Justin Toone. Toone scooted to his right before busting down the sideline. Soda Springs were desperate to bring him down and only put a stop to the play when he was just short of the goal line.
Setting up on their next down, Malad’s quarterback called a keeper, pushing his way through the defense and into the endzone for the first Dragon touchdown of the night. The MHS offense lined up for the PAT, scoring the two points after Holden Tubbs grabbed the pass after running a square route across the endzone.
Up 8-0, the Dragon defense was charged and ready to go, managing to thwart the Cardinal’s attempts at a successful drive. On their first down, the MHS met the ball hard, taking down the running back for a loss of yards. Attempting a run up the middle on the second down, Soda Springs were caught up in the Dragon D-line that didn’t give an inch on the play. Seeing that their running game wasn’t working, the Cardinals moved to pass. As their quarterback dropped to pass, the Malad defense broke through and sacked the quarterback for another loss. Soda Springs had no other option than to punt on their fourth down.
Malad began their next drive on the
38 yard line, running the ball up the middle for a seven yard gain. They easily earned first down as they moved the ball to the twenty-five yard line. The Dragon offense found great success over and over with plays pushing straight up the middle. Putting up strong blocks and creating holes for the MHS running backs to run through, Malad was nearing the end zone once again.
Snapping the ball straight back to Drake Morrison, he wound his way down the left sideline, keeping out of reach of the defense until they brought him down within three yards of the goal line. A quick snap and push up the middle scored the Dragons their touch down in as many drives. Scoring on the two point conversion, Malad led 16-0. With time of the first quarter expiring on the Soda Springs drive, the Cardinals returned in the second quarter with a renewed effort. Connecting on passes and making forward progress rushing, they marched their way straight into
the endzone for the touchdown. Keeping them from scoring on the PAT, the Dragons found themselves up 16-6.
The Cardinals attempted an onside kick but failed to recover the short kick. With their toes on the 50 yard line, Malad was set to make another touchdown scoring drive. Moving the chains with nearly every down, the Dragons couldn’t be stopped as they headed for the endzone. Showell, getting the long snap, ran between defenders for a twenty two yard gain. The run was only made possible because of the excellent blocking by Showell’s teammates.
In only four more plays, Malad added another touchdown and PAT to push the score to 24-6. Soda Springs seemed to be making progress on their returning drive but it was quickly shut down, once again by the Dragon defense before the first half ended.
The defense dominated the third quarter as neither team was able to string together a scoring drive. But things picked up for Malad as they began the
fourth quarter, moving the ball with small and steady gains. Their greatest gain came as quarterback East Green faked the handoff to the right only to deliver it to his left. Scooting up the left sideline unbeknownst to most of the defense, the MHS running back managed more than a ten yard gain before being tackled.
The Dragons scored one additional touchdown to end the game. Matt Briscoe received the handoff with a wide open field ahead of him to the right. Taking off in that direction, the Cardinal defense began to shift towards him and were suddenly between him and the endzone. Instead of attempting to outrun them around the outside, Briscoe lowered his shoulder to take on two Soda Springs players. Busting through the tackles, he inched his way to the goal line when one defender reached up to trip him. Before coming down, Briscoe reached out with the ball to move it across the plane and score.
Looking to score one point on a field goal PAT, Dawsyn Peterson held the ball for kicker Brycen Howe. Sailing straight through the goalposts, Howe’s kick tallied up a final point to put the Dragons up 35-6. Across the game, Malad totalled 247 rushing yards on 51 carries, 67 passing yards on 5 of 9 attempts.
Chalking up a win for their homecoming week against their first conference opponent of the season was just what the Dragon football team needed. Coaches and players commented that the fan turnout and support from the MHS pep band and cheerleaders to the fire department made their homecoming an extra exciting win.
The Dragons will play at home in their next scheduled game as they host the Wendell Trojans on Friday, October 4.
Lady Dragons soccer edged out in close contest with Snake River
The record might look like they are in a bit of a slump, but their field play looks anything but. The Lady Dragon soccer is holding their own despite playing against teams that have previously far outplayed them. In back to back games, the MHS soccer team was able to hold the Snake River Panthers to only two goals in each of their matchups.
Malad hosted the Panthers for their Friday afternoon game. Going into halftime, Snake River claimed the only goal of the game, an indication at the high level play from both teams. The Lady Dragons were able to kick up a goal as senior Kencie Miller booted one past the Panther keeper. Unfortunately they were unable to keep Snake River from scoring a second goal before the second half concluded, leaving them trailing 1-2. MHS goalkeeper Aubrey Shulz thwarted 19 of the Panther’s goal attempts.
The two teams had their second matchup of the season just days later on Monday, September 30 in Blackfoot, Idaho. The Panthers jumped to a quick lead, getting two goals in the opening half of the game. The Lady Dragon defense tightened up their play going into the second, forcing Snake River to remain scoreless over the second half. But it was a defense dominated half resulting in no goals for Malad, despite their efforts. Miller led in
with
4, followed by Joni Beck with 3, Jaezie Jensen and Halie Palmer with 2, with Aubrey Corbett and Emmy Coatney each attempting one shot. Shulz successfully blocked 15 Panther attempted goals.
The Lady Dragons will next play at home as they host Aberdeen on Wednesday, October 2. Thursday the team will travel to American Falls to take on the Beavers before playing in Preston on Saturday.

There was no shortage of offense in the Dragons’ lopsided win over Soda Springs.
As the clock wound down, MHS prepared to cheer the hometown victory. The passing game was strong as well, and there were no real weak spots in the homecoming effort.
The Dragons played well on both sides of the field, and the game could have gone either way.
Setting up for a corner kick, the Lady Dragons defended well. Aubrey Shulz had an amazing 19 stops.
The full rotation throw-in is always a sight to see, and an impressive feat.
