Kelton Enich

President

English Teacher at Kellogg High School

Kelton.Enich@kelloggschools.org

I moved to Kellogg about two and half years ago after growing up in Missoula, Montana. I attended the University of Montana for a degree in teaching and then moved to the Valley to work at Kellogg High School (KHS) as an English teacher and teach Creative Writing and Public Speaking as well. Since moving to Kellogg, I have helped organize numerous school and community events including KHS Homecoming, prom, Brawl for the Ball fundraisers, and multiple poetry readings. I love to bridge the gap between school and community and hope my involvement with the Chamber helps bring more students to community events. In my time serving on the Chamber board, I have become the race director and organizer for the Jackass Half Marathon, helped with multiple community events, and serve on the marketing committee. In my spare time, I like to go to the Farmers Market, ski at Silver Mountain, cook, run and hike with my dogs, and spend time with my family and friends.

My daughter Jainah and I have lived in the Silver Valley since 2014. Currently, I am working as Remediation Manager for the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. I also serve on the boards of the Silver Valley Economic Development Corporation, the Shoshone Medical Center, and the Central Shoshone Water District. I am interested in increasing the efficacy of communication between Silver Valley businesses, organizations, and governing bodies and fostering new business growth and development. I really appreciate what this area has to offer in terms of wilderness. I enjoy hunting, hiking, and camping as well as photography.

Melinda Parks

Owner and Operator of Smelterville Grocery Outlet

I was born and raised in the Silver Valley and chose to raise my family here as well. I graduated from Kellogg High School in 2002, and settled down in the quiet Silverton neighborhood. I enjoy everything the outdoors has to offer, throughout all the changing seasons. After growing my retail career for 20 years, I was given the opportunity to become a business owner and bring a brand new location right back here to share with the Silver Valley! I am committed to serving the community and helping it grow!

Scott Albrethson

Secretary

4-H WISE After School Director at Kellogg Middle School

Scott.Albrethsen@kelloggschools.org

I grew up in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and graduated from Coeur d'Alene High School before attending the University of Montana. I have been in Kellogg for 3 years and enjoy directing the KMS After School Program. Our program is a multi-faceted, grant funded program that provides middle school students with opportunities to access tutoring, learn hands-on, engage in their community, and participate with their families in sponsored community events.

In my free time, I prefer to spend time in the outdoors with my wife, Kelton and dog Etta. In the winter, I spend as many days as possible on my snowboard at Silver Mountain and Lookout Pass! I have loved getting involved with the Silver Valley Chamber to help promote the growth of local events that shine a light on what the Silver Valley has to offer.

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I have been living, playing, and volunteering in our delightful Silver Valley community for more than 13 years. I believe the Silver Valley is a special place which deserves our devotion to not only preserve its history, but also to enhance its future and grow its economy! I am a local Realtor and florist and I enjoy sharing our area and delivering smiles. When I'm not busy at work you'll find me skiing, mountain biking, paddle-boarding, gardening, and hiking endless trails with my pups.
