News New Library & Senior Center
by Ryan Foster
The town of Wendell is proposing the renovation of a vacant building to be turned into a new library and senior citizens center. The vacant building is located next to the City Hall and across the street from the city park. Both the current library and the senior citizens center are in need of more space and updated facilities. “Our library is falling apart, the floors are buckling and there is not enough space,” said library director, Annie Burke. Along with the structure falling apart, the building was never insulated resulting in a very high cost to keep the library heated throughout the winter. Elsie Aslett, assistant library director said, “We can’t put all of our books on the shelves because there isn’t enough space.” The problems for the Senior Citizens Center are also significant. Technically, the seniors have to pay rent just to have a space for use. Margaret Presnell said, “We need more room for meals and a place to host activities for the seniors.” She also said, “Some of the activities we would like to have room for would be card games, a pool table, an exercise room and possibly enough extra space for a coffee and social room.” Laverne Silva would like to also implement a commercial grade kitchen and possibly a full time chef. Silva said,
Current Wendell Library
Building to Renovate “We need a better kitchen and larger area to feed the seniors, also we want to be able to offer food more than just once a week like we are now.” “It’s all up to the public to get this facility renovated and updated,” said Brad Christopherson, City Administrator. He also said, “The new building is in a perfect location adjacent to the park and will have enough room to rent out events to people in Wendell.” The only obstacle in Brad’s mind to getting enough votes for the facility is the time frame. Although Brad said, “We will be getting the word out around Wendell more significantly in the weeks to come.” For more information, call 536-5161.

Adelaide Webster Gerard Here’s to the celebration of a life well lived. Adelaide Webster Gerard passed peacefully on August 8, 2014 at 98 years. Adelaide was born in Jerome, ID on April 12, 1916 to John and Edith Webster. Her childhood and early years were spent on the family farm in Jerome where she lived until graduating in 1934 from Jerome High School. From 1934-36 Adelaide attended Albion State Normal School and received a Teaching Certificate. During the war she taught in various country schools around Eden and Jerome. She married Morris Gerard on May 7, 1946 after waiting 4 years for him to return home from a WWII Japanese prison camp. They were members of the Wake Island Survivors Association. Together they homesteaded North of Shoshone and raised three children, Gene, Steven and Echo. After 28 years of marriage the love of her life passed away and Adelaide never remarried. In 1956 Adelaide started teaching 5th Grade in the Gooding School District which she did until 1977. In 1958 she received a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Idaho State College. To say Adelaide was a people person would be an understatement. She loved to be surrounded by people and participated in many organizations. She belonged to the Gooding First Christian Church, was a 60+ year member of the Order of Eastern Star, PEO International and enjoyed playing cards, especially duplicate bridge. She also enjoyed traveling with friends and family, by car, on tours, and on cruises from Alaska to Panama and many places in between. Adelaide was preceded in death by her husband Morris, daughter Echo Tilson, infant baby Jackie Gerard and brothers Fred Webster, John Webster and Bob Webster. She is survived by her brother Dene Webster, sons Gene and Steven, 9 grandchildren including Ace Tilson, Erik Tilson, Tami Meyer, Jana Pennington, Darren Carraway, Shon Gerard, Morri Gerard Hall, Andrew Gerard, Crystal Gerard Shipman and 16 great-grandchildren. A celebration of Adelaide’s life was on Saturday, August 16, 2014, at the First Christian Church in Gooding
with burial at Elmwood Cemetery. The family would like to thank the ladies of the Christian Church for providing the after-services luncheon and the Order of the Eastern Star, Gooding Chapter, and PEO International for their special services. We would also like to offer a special thanks to the staff at DeSano Place for their never-ending love, support and care. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to the First Christian Church or a charity of your choice. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family by visiting the obituary link at www.demarayfuneralservice.com.
