Malad “Painted Red” to Raise Awareness
BY CRYSTAL STEED
In March St. Luke’s Hemophilia Center and Children’s Cancer Institute joined the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) in celebrating Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month. Bleeding disorders are relatively rare and not talked about a lot. Bleeding Disorders Awareness month is a great way to spread awareness about different bleeding disorders such as hemophilia, von willebrand disease, rare factor or platelet disorders, and more. Local Malad Elementary School student Gannon Steed was diagnosed with Severe Hemophilia B in 2014, when he was just 2 weeks old. Hemophilia B is a bleeding disorder caused by a lack of blood clotting factor IX. Without enough factor IX, the blood cannot clot properly to control bleeding. Hemophilia B occurs in approximately 1 in 25,000 male births. 20% of all hemophilia cases are spontaneous, meaning someone has the disease even though there is no family history of abnormal bleeding. Gannon’s Hemophilia was spontaneous not genetic. Hemophilia is treated by boosting clotting factor levels or replacing missing clotting factors. People like Gannon who have severe hemophilia receive prophylactic factor infusions to prevent bleeding. At the time of Gannon’s diagnosis, we were approached about participating in a research trial for a new medicine. Hemophilia patients have to be infused either in a central line port or in their vein multiple times a week. The study we were asked to participate in changed treatment from every other day for some patients or three times a week for others… to just once a week. As a family we ended up taking a leap of faith by choosing to participate in the study. As a result, Gannon became the first patient in the world under 5 years old to receive a new drug called Rebinyn. The Research program ended up being a huge blessing, and Gannon has had amazing success on
this medicine.
Just last week Gannon was talking to me about his hemophilia, telling me that kids at school didn’t believe that he had hemophilia or the ones that did, just didn’t understand what it was. I knew that we needed to help fix this. When I saw St. Lukes was doing activities to help spread awareness about bleeding disorders, I knew this could be a way to help my son. We decided to bring their “Paint the town Red” activity to Malad!
On March 5th with help from Malad Elementary School, Tiny Tots Daycare and Preschool, community members and social media we were able to “Paint Malad Red”, by having everyone wear red, hanging red ribbons and signs all around Malad. On social media people from Malad and other cities posted photos of themselves wear-

Weather condition increase flooding concerns
City officials, neighbors, and yes, the newspaper office were flooded (no pun intended) with calls about the water running down 1st West last week. Some were convinced that a water main had burst, leading to the increasingly deep channel of water that made driveways inaccessible briefly on Thursday, and created a mess in the roadway.
City officials were on notice once the water started running, and worked throughout the end of the week to mitigate the issue as much as possible.
According to City Superintendent Tyler Webster, the cause of the flooding was the snow/thaw conditions that created ideal conditions for the melting snow to channel into the shoulder of the road near the top of 1st west.
“The water is runoff from the field north of 700 North on the East side of 100 W. This has happened quite often—often enough that Dale Hobson placed 3 inch rock down 100 W from 500 N down toward 400 N,” Webster said.
“I think the reason this year is much worse is our weather pattern—warm, then low freezing temperatures and warm snowy/wet conditions that turns off the warm. The warmer weather melts the snow but the ground is frozen so no water is getting into the
ground. This causes a large amount of water for runoff.”
The weather cycle can also allow the ground to become maximally saturated, as the soil becomes soft enough to absorb melting moisture, which is then locked in when it freezes. The ice layer also creates an especially frictionless medium on top of which melting snow heads downhill quickly.
At the end of last week, the city crew worked to “get the residents’ driveways accessible.” This
week, the city has plans to repair the damaged roadway with rock and roadbase.
The conditions that led to this (and the familiar annual flooding in general) are predicted to continue for the next weeks, with another freeze/thaw cycle currently in the forecast for the end of this week.
We will update you when sandbags and other mitigation items are available from the county, as they have been during past years’ flooding.
NEWS IN BRIEF
Tension with Canada escalates
Against the backdrop of on-again off-again tariffs on Canadian products, what had started as a purely rhetorical battle has begun to inflict real damage. A number of Canadian businesses have reportedly begun to pull American products from their shelves and replace them with domestic alternatives, or imports from other countries. Energy producers in Ontario have announced that they will raise the cost of energy to the United States in a continuing trade war as a response to threatened 25% import tariffs on Canadian products, which will for the most part be passed on to consumers. The markets have reacted negatively to the tariffs themselves, but many analysts expressed the opinion on Monday that the market implosion was as much a reaction to an unclear and changing U.S. policy as the specifics of the plans. As markets are generally conservative in their risk aversion, the potential for a U.S. recession affecting global markets, compounded by inflation resulting from tariffs, is causing a sustained panic in stocks across the board.
Utah to ban municipal fluoridation
Fluoridation is a process whereby the element is added to drinking water supplies to help prevent cavities and strengthen teeth. Since the process was introduced, it has greatly improved the dental health of Americans ,especially children. A recent episode in Utah where a malfunctioning fluoride pump released excess fluoride into the water supply led to medical issues for hundreds of people. A bill in the Utah legislature is on its way to Governor Cox, who has said he will sign it. The bill does not ban fluoride, but it does prohibit municipalities from choosing to add it into their water supplies. The reasons cited were the foregoing pump malfunction, the cost of the process, and “personal choice and freedom.” The saving to municipalities were not specifically estimated, and neither was the potential cost to residents as a result of reduced dental health. At present, only 66 of the state’s 484 municipalities choose to fluoridate their water. Those 66 will lose the option to choose to do so after passage.
Lincoln Day Dinner
The Oneida County Event Center will host the annual Lincoln Day Dinner on Saturday, March 15. The doors will open at 6:00 p.m., and events will begin at 6:30 p.m. Single plate admission to the fundraiser dinner are $25. This year’s featured speaker will be Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador, who will be addressing guests, along with Idaho GOP Chairperson Dorothy Moon. The event will be catered by the Iron Door Smokehouse, and will include a silent auction along with a live auction and a Shotgun Raffle. Auction items have been donated by Ward Ace Hardware and a number of other local vendors. Sponsors include Ace Hardware/ Ward Feed, Allen Drug, and Hess Lumber. Any member of the Oneida County Republican Central Committee can be contacted about reserving a table.
Intermittent snow is part of the problem causing runoff around town.
When the snow melts, channels can quickly form.

Peter Pan brings the magic
Last week’s performance of Peter Pan Jr. by the cast of primarily middle school students had a good run, playing to packed audiences of friends, family, and entertainment-seekers. With the Missoula Children’s Theatre production having been unexpectedly canceled at the Elementary School, the Iron Door Playhouse play was a much-needed dose of drama.
Younger actors, even if they tend to be shy in their “normal” lives, also tend to be willing to try things out and take chances in their roles, and it was fun to see the energy and personality the actors injected into their characters. Enthusiasm was certainly a byword of the play, with the actors seeming to enjoy their time on stage as much as the audience did watching them.
Liam Atkinson was the right sort of optimistic and mischievous as Peter Pan, and Anna Chipman brought just the right sort of grounded maturity as Wendy to play against Peter’s whimsy.
Maverik Lewis was sneeringly great as Captain Hook, clearly relishing the villainous turn. The role works best with a strong second, and Bentley Teeples did a great job as Smee. The pirates—Sara Reiss, Ava Felser, Cali Whipple, Rose Butler— did a great job with their stage busi-
ness and choreography, and helped lend the whole play a kinetic sense of constant movement.
The play involves a number of foils—that is, characters who can be compared with one another—and the pirate gang is foiled on the one hand by the Lost Boys, played by Sofia Hess, Levi Balazs, Jace Call, Hyrum Spencer, Danielle Pettis, and Cumorah Carter; and on the other by the Brave Girls, played by Nicole White as Tiger Lilly, Karmyn Charles, Mariah Price, Brynlie Geldhill. Both groups demonstrate different attitudes about childhood and growing up, which is of course the central theme of the the book and musical.
Captain Hook, ostensibly an adult miscreant, secretly just wants to return to childhood. It turns out that the Lost Boys are ready to move in the other direction and start growing up. Peter Pan continues to occupy that nebulous zone in-between adulthood and childhood, and that’s why he’s an indelible cultural figure to this day.
The rest of the cast all performed fantastically, and included (with some overlap) Seth Huckay as John Darling, Alyssa Seamons as Michael Darling, Nicole White as Liza Darling, Caroline Butler as Nana, Hannah Anderson as Mrs. Darling,
Maverik Lewis as Mr. Darling; Ensemble: Saige Blaisdell, Hannah Anderson, Wesley Asay, Jaxson Snow, Jersyn Shulz, Caroline Butler, Ambria DeJong; Stage Crew: Rylee Dunn, William Whipple, London Hess, Dot Teeples.
Production credits include: Director Jeni Sperry, Assistant Director Jaden Hansen, Stage Manager AdaMarie Campbell, Lights and Sound Director Jeff Richins, Lights Britta Hansen, Sound Elizabeth Kent, Laura DeJong, Costumes Shannon Worrell.
Director Jeni Sperry notes: “These kids have been a joy to work with. I love their energy, curiosity, and imagination. We’ve discussed the ins and outs of Neverland, the Darling family and how to create your own character. I’m excited for you to see the world that they helped create. A special thanks to all the parent and grandparent volunteers! We couldn’t put on these shows without you. And thank you for letting your children participate. I really have grown to love each and every one of them.”

Painted Red
ing red to show their support with the hashtag #GannonRocksRed. We had such a positive response doing this! So many children wore red to help support. I have had many people approach me saying they had no idea these disorders existed. I also had the opportunity to go into my son’s fifth grade class and teach the children about Hemophilia.
11 years have passed since Gannon’s diagnosis. Yes, it’s been a hard road, but he is worth it! I am grateful to Malad Elementary for taking such good care of Gannon, for watching out for him and help -
ing us spread awareness. I’m also grateful to everyone else that helped make this day possible so that we could raise awareness about bleeding disorders in our area.
Editors’ Note: The St. Luke’s article detailing Gannon’s case and providing more information about his care can be found on the St. Luke’s website at https://www.stlukesonline.org and searching for Gannon Steed. The article makes it clear how much the medical staff has taken to Gannon, and how much the Steeds have benefitted from the research and care provided by the facility.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Our Flag
I remember the first time I really noticed how beautiful our country’s flag was. I was serving a mission in a foreign country under military rule; the people were depressed. I hadn’t seen our flag in almost two years. One day, my companion, who was new in the country, and I turned a corner in the capital city, and there, flying proudly over the US embassy, was our flag. It was the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen to that point in my life. I stopped and, with my hand over my heart, sang every patriotic song I knew. Embarrassed, my companion kept nudging me, trying to get me to stop. I turned to him with tears on my cheeks and said, “When you’ve been down here as long as I have and come to love these people as much as I do, you’ll understand what she means.”
After I returned, I entered the Army. My military career spanned 37 years and took me all over the world. I loved standing at attention every morning at 8 am and every evening at 5 when the post flag was raised and lowered each day.
Growing up, people flew our country’s flag daily. They put it out each morning and took it down each night. Those flags never seemed to be tattered or torn in any way. Then, something changed. Flags were allowed to be flown 24/7 if there was a light per-
manently shining on it. At first, this seemed to be a great idea. Many people bought flagpoles and positioned lights to shine on them.
Unfortunately, this has caused us to become casual and forgetful. When we had to put it out each morning and take it down each night, we looked at the flag. If there were any signs of wear, the flag was replaced. Since we no longer have to handle the flag each day, it seems to have been forgotten. I see tattered and worn-out flags flying in yards, over businesses, and even public buildings. What a sad sight it is to see this beautiful emblem of our country disgraced in this way and forgotten.
I understand that we may not always have the funds to replace the flag once it starts to fray. It’s better not to display the flag if it’s showing wear than to fly it. Wait until you can afford to buy a new one; don’t keep flying a tattered one. It’s so disrespectful to us all. I know this isn’t anywhere near Memorial Day, Flag Day, or Veterans Day, which is when most people seem to remember her. But I see a lot of flags out right now whose time has passed. Let’s remember what the flag stands for regardless of any political affiliation. All servicemen and women have or are willing to sacrifice their lives for what she represents. Thanks.

Just finished Saturday morning breakfast with Tam and Grandma Red. Today, we ate at my house because I’m trying to clean out my refrigerator’s bottom freezer and I found a package of sausage that needed to be consumed. I don’t think I’ve seen the bottom of that freezer in years. So, it is a lofty goal.
Now Tam is a Malad personality. Known to some as the Cat Lady, she walks multiple miles a day, keeps the most beautiful yard on the north side of town, and has strong opinions on most subjects. I like her a lot. I have learned she is one for telling it like it is, or at least how she thinks it is; Grandma Red is just the opposite, although as she ages the filters have dropped off a bit. Maybe that is because she hangs out with Tam. We got to my house, and I started the sausage, scrambled some eggs and popped some English muffins in the toaster. We were doing fine until Tam had to butter her muffin. The butter was hard. Oh boy, did I hear about that.

In fact, she prefers her butter melted so she can just dip the muffin in. So, I melted the butter. She isn’t one bit concerned about her arteries. Next, they opted for hot chocolate over OJ. Now, if there is anything I do have, it is a huge variety of hot chocolate options. I hauled out the Swiss Miss packets, the Stephens Gourmet options, Nestle Quick and a few other varieties. Tam was excited to see the Swiss Miss envelopes but come to find out the grandkids (I guess) had opened, and half emptied each envelope. Mostly what was left behind were rock hard mini marshmallows. Tam was not amused! However, using about every variety on the counter she was able to create an acceptable beverage. I think she could have been a bar tender.
Luckily, the honey was out and with the melted butter and warm muffins Tam was in her happy place. Life is Good when friends are comfortable enough in your home to insist on melted butter and have no problem sorting through the hot chocolate! Invite a friend and see if you get to melt the butter!

The school opening is just one of many projects we are currently working on. This new school has four classrooms, an enclosed courtyard, a storage room and an Administrator’s room. The school is painted a pinkish color, so it really stands out in the town. Before we built this school, the children met in just a few small rooms that had dirt floors. After the opening ceremony we handed out coats, book bags, shoes, blankets and school supplies to each child. The children; they were smiling, laughing and just loved having their picture taken. This day made all the hard training, long hours and the separation from my family much more bearable”.

Well I came out of it in one piece so far and guess you could say I’m ready for more whether I like it or not.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Con-
sider moving beyond the usual methods to find a more creative means of handling a difficult on-the-job situation. Avoid confrontation and aim for cooperation instead.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A seasonal change creates a new look for the outdoors. It also inspires Taureans to redo their own environments, so this is a good week to start redoing both your home and workplace.
Enjoy!
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
A misunderstanding needs to be straightened out so the wrong impression isn’t allowed to stand. If necessary, offer to support the use of a third party to act as an impartial arbitrator.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A career change offering what you want in money and responsibilities could involve moving to a new location. Discuss this with your family members before making a decision.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Feeling miffed over how you believe you were treated is understandable. But before you decide to “set things straight,” make sure that the whole thing wasn’t just a misinterpretation of the facts.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Showing you care makes it easier to build trust and gain an advantage in handling a delicate situation. What you learn from this experience will also help you understand yourself better.
tion. Broulim’s is honored to uphold that tradition. With over a century of experience serving rural Idaho communities, Broulim’s Fresh Foods is committed to providing excellence in services and selection. They look forward to welcoming Thomas Market team members, engaging with the community, and enhancing your shopping experience. Stay tuned for more details!
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Planning for the future is fine, especially if you include the roles that family members may be asked to play. But don’t be surprised if some hidden emotions are revealed in the process.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Making choices highlights much of the week, and you have a head start here, thanks to your ability to grasp the facts of a situation and interpret them in a clear-cut manner.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Carrying a torch can be a two-way situation: It can either keep you tied to the past or help light your way to the future. The choice, as always, has to be yours.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your watchwords this week are “focus, focus, focus.” Don’t let yourself be distracted from what you set out to do. There’ll be time later to look over other possibilities.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A workplace opportunity might require changes that you’re not keen on making. Discuss the plusses and minuses with someone familiar with the situation before you make a decision.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Love and romance are strong in your aspect this week. If you’ve already met the right person, expect your relationship to grow. And if you’re still looking, odds are, you’ll soon be finding what you want!
BORN THIS WEEK: You approach life in a wise and measured manner, which gives you a competitive edge in many areas.

Never too soon to choose an instrument
When Foster Garrett came to Malad as the Middle and High School Band and Chorus teacher, the school music programs were suffering from lack of interest by students. The high school band had 7 students registered when Mr. Garrett arrived. His enthusiastic approach to band and chorus led to higher enrollments in all music classes and performing groups by the end of his first semester.
To promote the band program, Mr. Garrett began having all 5th grade students go to one room at Malad Elementary School where they could try to get sounds from instruments such as a trumpet, trombone, clarinet, and flute. The program was very successful, as can be seen by the beginning band now having more than 30 students enrolled every year. When the beginning band has a lot of students, more students are likely to want to go on to the intermediate and advanced bands and to continue their involvement in music even after high school.
This year’s instrument demonstration event was held in one of the vacant classrooms in the new elementary school on Wednesday, March 5. All the 5th grade students gathered first to hear Mr. Garrett talk about
the various instruments and the benefits of participating in music.
Then each classroom of students came back into the room where the students were able to hear and see the trumpet, trombone, flute, and clarinet demonstrated; then they were able to blow into the horns to try to get a sound from the instruments. Instruments were provided by Summerhays Music in Utah, and high school band students assisted by sanitizing each instrument after a student blew into it. Mr. Garrett demonstrated the trumpet, Jean Thomas demonstrated the clarinet, and Dante Clavere from Summerhays demonstrated the trombone. High school flute players helped students with the flute when Ralph Bennett was unable to be there.
Assisting the 5th graders and the adult musicians were Aubrey Kennedy, Tavin Barnes, Mary Zabriskie, Hannah Zabriskie, and Kayla Wilson. The students filled out forms to take home so that their parents can see what instruments they preferred and enjoyed blowing into. Students will be able to enroll in beginning band in the 6th grade, the first year of middle school.

Admission is free to this event that provides an opportunity to see works of art by some of Oneida County’s outstanding artists, including Robert Bullcreek and Stephanie Jones.
Robert Bullcreek
Robert Bullcreek and his family moved from Weiser to their home north of Malad in 1999. He has worked with metal for at least 40 years and enjoys turning his thoughts and ideas into works of art. He says, “The more you work with metal, the more you want to make it come alive and be both useful and beautiful.” Robert is a certified welder and worked in machine shops prior to coming to Malad. He is also a farrier and uses horseshoes in some of his works of art. He appreciates everyone who assists him in turning a piece of metal into a work of art, including those who do the finish work on his pieces. He and his
Stephanie Jones
Stephanie Jones, her husband Kevin, and their two sons moved to Malad three years ago when the Ogden area became too crowded. Stephanie began making floral arrangements about eight years ago when her stepmother persuaded her to work with silk flowers. She soon realized that making floral arrangements that would last far beyond the event – be it a wedding, funeral, or family reunion – was very rewarding. She next ventured into making arrangements with wooden flowers made in Thailand and Indonesia. She says, “I enjoy knowing that I am helping an entire village when I buy my wood in rolls similar to toilet paper rolls. The men have harvested the tapioca roots; the women use machetes to make the flowers; the young people take the wood and flowers to markets.” Stephanie has roots in Malad. Her grandmother was Katherine Willie Jones from Holbrook, and her grandfather was Stephen L. Jones.

BY ALLISON ELIASON
As March begins, there aren’t many that aren’t hoping for the cold days of winter to be behind us and the sunny warm days of spring to take their place. But none are more hopeful than the athletes and coaches of the spring sports season. With softball, baseball, and track practices in full swing with games and meets in the near future the spring season is here whether Mother Nature agrees or not. Thankfully, the weather has cooperated enough for the various teams to take their training outside. The fresh spring air and warm sunshine have only energized the athletes, bringing an excited anticipation for their upcoming games.
Lady Dragon Softball
The Lady Dragon Softball team is chomping at the bit to get their season underway. Head Coach Bri Adams said, “Ending last year with the silver when they had been working for the gold has left them hungry. They have been pushing themselves harder at practice this year and I can see it in their eyes- they want it this year. They aren’t leaving any T’s uncrossed or i’s undotted.”
Coach Adams and her team are taking a very intentional and focused approach as they begin this season. From putting a large emphasis on fundamentals, setting a strong foundation to their play that will be helpful at every level of the game, to instituting new throwing routines, the MHS softball team is looking to make the adjustments that will bring the improvements they need to play at a high level.
Aside from their play on the field, the Lady Dragons are also focusing on building connections and relationships among their team. “We have a
big group of seniors and a huge group of freshmen and a few in between. We’ve been doing things at practice to bridge the gap and the girls have been running with it. They have been so amazing to be willing to get to know each other. Our upperclassmen have stepped up as leaders and it has been truly awesome to see as a coach.”
Looking ahead at their schedule this spring, the Lady Dragons are taking on a number of new teams. “Our schedule is tough this year,” said Coach Adams. She continued, “We scheduled mostly bigger schools. Sugar Salem and Bonneville are new schools in addition to playing bigger schools from Logan and Snake River. They will all be good competition for us.”
Taking on more competitive teams will only help the softball team as they set big goals this season. Hitting against better pitchers, seeing more strategic runners, and playing longer, more physically and mentally taxing games will make them into a stronger team.
The Lady Dragon will play their first game on their home turf as they host the Snake River Panthers on Wednesday, March 12 at 4pm.
Dragon Baseball
It’s nearly time for the long awaited “Play Ball” roar to announce the beginning of the 2025 Dragon baseball season. With a new season comes plenty of “new” to a team, and this year is no different for the MHS team. At the top of their list of new things is a new coaching staff, led by Head Coach Jeff Snow, assisted by Ty Price, Chad Maroney, and Tyrell Hubbard.
With a new coaching line up come multiple changes in style, philosophy, training, and strategy. But whatev-
Cookie Season, Week 3
BY KRISTY ZAHN
Closing out the third week of sales, the girls sold 416 packages in town this past weekend. These are great numbers considering they have been selling in town for the last two weeks. Now, we are in the final stretch of cookie sales, with only two weeks left to sell our remaining 249 cookies. As of Monday, the Juniors had 35 packages left, the Brownies had 108 and Daisies had 106. The Cadettes sold out while at On the Run last weekend. We will mostly have Thin Mints, Caramel delites (Samoas) and Peanut But-
ter Patties (Tagalongs), though we may have other varieties available, just ask. We have a couple of determined girls that would like to reach their goals of 200, 375 and 625 packages. They will most likely be selling cookies this weekend near Exit 13. Check our Facebook page Malad Girl Scouts of the Malad Valley Personal Classified for our Pop Up locations this weekend.
Along with the $0.70/pkg that comes back to the troop, the girls earn rewards from council like a patch, color changing cup, flashlight, bandana, etc. Though the other part of the rewards, the one that the par-
er “new” the team experiences, the Dragons are ready to bring their game when they take the field.
The MHS baseball team will be competing against several new teams this season, taking on teams from Century, Box Elder, Bear River and Clearfield in addition to several local teams. These teams will provide a different challenge for the Dragon team in many aspects. First, most of these teams and programs are larger which makes them much more competitive and will push Malad to step up their own game. Secondly, a number of these teams have warmer conditions that allows them to get out on the field earlier than the Dragons. Keeping up with their early season experience could be demanding, in a good way, for Malads’ teams.
First on their list to compete against are the Panthers at Snake River High School on Wednesday, March 12.
Both the MHS softball and baseball teams are looking forward to the new facilities this season. While the fields won’t be ready for their opening games, they are hoping and anticipating that they will take the new diamonds mid-April. Coach Adams shared, “We are crossing our fingers and toes that it will happen sooner than later.”
The new ball fields, located across from Malad High School, are a highly anticipated and long awaited upgrade. They will provide better seating, parking, concessions, and an all around better experience for the teams and fans. On days that feature home games by both teams, fans can easily move back and forth to support all their favorite Dragon athletes instead of having to choose between the two.
MHS Track & Field
The Malad track is abuzz once
again as the MHS track team has begun practices for their new season. Patiently waiting for a little sunshine and warm weather, the athletes let out a cheer as they took their first laps of the season around the track.
Taking over the coaching helm of the Malad track and field team is Head Coach Caleb Williams. Coach Williams, already serving among the track staff, stepped into the role after Coach Crozier left Malad for a new teaching and coaching opportunity. Looking at his staff and team, Coach Williams shared, “We are going to have a great season this year. I think we will see great individual and team wins this year.”
Over 50 athletes have joined the team to begin this season but Coach Williams shared, “I’m still working to recruit a few more.” The team includes handfuls of seasoned tracksters as well as new athletes that are willing to give it a try. The coaches are excited to see the talent before them, even wishing for some athletes they could turn back the calendar and draft them to the team seasons earlier.
Only into their second week of practice, the MHS track team is first focusing on strength, endurance, and agility before zooming in on the distinct demands of each event. Getting a benchmark and an understanding of the individual talent will help both the coaches and athletes know what events they should be competing in.
Malad will compete on their own track for their first meet of the season as they hold the Malad Invitational meet on Thursday, March 20 beginning at 10 am.
Rain or shine, snow or not, the spring Dragon athletes are ready to take on another season. It may only be the beginning, but the energy of the 2025 spring season is sure to be promising for the MHS teams.
ents actually appreciate is Program Credits. They are an individual reward, acknowledging the hard work and entrepreneurial success of Girl Scouts. Once a girl sells 100 packages of cookies she has earned $15 in Program Credits that can be put towards their Girl Scout membership for next year. For every additional 50 packages sold, they get an additional $15 in credits. If the girl sells 300 packages then they have paid for their membership for next year with $5 left over to spend within our council. In theory girls only need to pay for their first year of membership and then have the opportunity
to earn it each year forward. Thank you to all of the leaders, volunteers and parents that volunteered their time so that the girls could sell cookies. Stacey Clark (Leader), Brittany Donnan (Parent), Laura Dickerson (Volunteer), Katy Maughan (Leader), Makinzie Shandrew (Leader), and Kristy Zahn (Leader).
Cookies are $6 a package. If you cannot make it to one of our pop up sales, please email maladgirlscouts@ gmail.com or call Kristy at 714-7266687 to get an order delivered to your house.
