On December 23, Idaho ESGR proudly presented the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Patriotic Employer Award to Doug Williams, Jenny Hawkes, and Dallas Jones of the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office.

They were nominated by ARNG Sgt. Luke Zitting, who shared how their unwavering support made it possible for him to meet his military obligations — even on short notice — during a time when the agency was already short‑staffed.

Their flexibility, understanding, and commitment to Sgt. Zitting’s service exemplify what true employer support looks like. Thank you for standing behind those who serve our nation both at home and abroad.

School has been in session for 9 weeks. In that time we have issued 9 citations, some of which were close calls and a student was almost injured. If you see the yellow lights activated be prepared to stop. There is no roadway in Oneida County where you are permitted drive past a school bus while its red lights are activated and the stop arm is out.

Malad City has put up new crosswalk signs on 400 North, 300 West, 200 West and 100 West. When these signs are activated by the pedestrian, the sign will flash and a digital message will post requiring traffic to stop until the crosswalk is clear.

Also the street signs on 400 North and 100 West have changed from Yield signs to Stop signs.
