Potential Long Island Serial Killer arrested

After years of attempts to identify and apprehend the perpetrator of at least 18 killings in the Gilgo Beach area of Long Island from 1996 to 2011, a man has been directly connected to at least three of the victims. The killer, who primarily found his victims on Craigslist, was referred to as the Long Island Serial Killer (LISK) but has now been potentially identified as Rex Heuermann, 59. Heuermann’s DNA was discovered on at least one of the victims of the series of crimes, and DNA matching his wife was discovered on two others. Police believe the second DNA most likely indicates that the murders took place at Heuermann’s residence where DNA transfer occurred, and no other members of his family are considered suspects. Connections to a number of other victims are being explored. The case has been one of the highest profile unsolved national serial killing cases for the last 20 plus years.

Florida ocean temperatures reach record heights

The ocean water off the coast of Florida has been recorded at temperatures above 97 degrees Fahrenheit over the last two weeks, breaking records for heat at this time of year. The excess water temperatures are causing the coastal coral to “bleach,” which can ultimately lead to its death if the heat remains in place. The coral reefs provide sources of food and shelter for the ecosystem on the coastal shelf, and any loss of coral habitat will likely have large ripple effects on the local fishing economy and biome health.

Youth Football camps and games

The lights at the Dragon football field aren’t waiting for the fall season games to shine a little light on the moves of Malad’s finest. More than 100 participants signed up to take part in the football camp put on by the Dragon high school football team and led by senior Dylan Moss, focusing on learning foundational skills that they then put to use in a series of flag football games that just recently, culminated in a fi-

As part of a new law that took effect July 1, the Idaho Transportation Department is offering free state identification cards for Idaho adults who do not have a driver’s license to use for voting. The no-fee IDs were part of House Bill 340, a new voter registration law that Secretary of State Phil McGrane sponsored during the 2023 legislative session. The cards are available free to individuals who are 18 or older who have not had a driver’s license for at least six months and who indicate on their application that they need the ID for voting requirements. Individuals will need to prove they are a U.S. citizen or have U.S. citizenship documents scanned on file with the Department of Motor Vehicles to obtain the free ID card. The IDs are valid for four years, and applicants who obtain a free ID are entitled to one free replacement card and free renewals for as long as they meet the eligibility criteria. The free IDs are not valid for driving.

Powerball expected to reach 900 million by Monday

If you’ve noticed the increased traffic at Exit 13 lately, it’s at least partly related to the Powerball jackpot, which is on its way to almost a billion dollars again. If predictions are accurate, next week’s drawing will be for the third highest Powerball payout on record, approximately $461 million after taxes. This will be the 37th consecutive drawing without a winner, and the odds of winning are one in 292 million.

So far, no winner has been announced from Monday's drawing, which means that the jackpot will continue to grow until at least the next drawing on Wednesday evening.

Summer Reading Celebration in the Park

This year’s Summer Reading program through the Oneida County Library came to a celebratory end at the City Park on Tuesday, July 18. After a busy summer of reading, awards were given out for those who read the most hours, and all the participants and their parents were treated to a lunch provided by Liberty Meat and Schreiber Cheese. Over 331 kids signed up for the summer reading program, and 225 of them submitted final hours for the contest. After lunch, kids enjoyed a Foam fountain, carriage rides, train rides, the splash pad, and other fun activities. The library staff, who have been hands-on with the project all summer, were on hand to help facilitate the event.

This year’s overall winner by hours was Brian Young, who read an amazing 228 hours over the course of the event. The remaining members of the top 5 were William Whipple (225 hours), Hannah Anderson (133), Jaquelynn Young (130), and Thatcher Sweeten (117).

The readers were also divided into age groups,

with the top 5 0-4 year olds being Olive Thomas (36 hours), Max Baer (35), Uriah Monico (34), Sully Alder (29), and Lucy Clark (25). In the 5-11 year olds, the top readers were: Brian Young (228), Thatcher Sweeten (117), Orson Rogers (110), Sam Rogers (90), and Caroline Whipple (84). The top 5 12-18 readers were: William Whipple (225), Hannah Anderson (133), Jaquelynn Young (130), Winona Young (116) and Doris Young (115). This year’s summer reading was funded by a number of grants. The Idaho Commission for Libraries provided $2,000 for supplies, the Bistline Foundation provided $5,000, and the

Future Fund provided $10,000. This money was used to purchase books distributed to the readers, supplies for the creation of their own books, and art supplies. During the course of the summer, the participants wrote and provided art to accompany their own stories using the supplies. Play Doh and sculpting clay were used to create art in conjunction with the writing projects.

Last year, participants read a total of 5,091 hours. This year’s total was more than twenty-five percent higher at 6,614 hours. The number of kids involved also increased from last year’s totals.

0-4 year olds who

read at least 20 hours were recognized: Olive Thomas (36), Max Baer (35), Uriah Monico (34), Sully Alder (29), Lucy Clark (25), Oakley Denning (23), Glorianna Monico (23), Wyatt Kidder (22), Harold Young (22), Tabitha Young (22), Julie Clark (20), Tylee Clark (20), Dallas Hansen (20), Brixten Price (20), Janelee Probst (20), and Makai Probst (20).

5-11 year olds recognized for reading at least 40 hours were: Brian Young (228), Thatcher

nal game on the field, played under the big lights.

Since Tuesday, June 20, football has been on the brain for over 100 of Malad’s future football stars from 1st to 8th grade. Over the three day camp, the players had the opportunity to learn and improve their foundational football skills. Split into their respective age groups, each participant moved through the various positions played on the field.

They focused on a solid offensive stance,

blocking to protect the quarterback and blocking to create holes for the running back. They continued their offensive skills as they practiced throwing, catching and running with the ball. Then they turned their attention to defense, spending time learning proper tackling technique to not only wrap up for a solid tackle but to do it in a way to keep them safe.

On the final day of camp, the players competed in a range of games and challenges from seeing who could punt or throw the ball the farthest to see who

could race down the field the fastest. The games put their newly learned and honed skills to the test in a new and challenging way.

At the conclusion of the camp, the players began a series of flag football games, a new addition to the summer youth camp. Breaking up into age groups, the teams played games over five nights throughout July, with the final game being played under the lights, a standout way to end their summer football.

For each game, the coaches would mix

things up, shifting players between the different teams and to positions. The coaches wanted to give each player a chance to be the one to throw the pass, run in the touchdown or make the big tackle. While some players might be suited for a particular position, the camp and the games were the perfect time to give the players a little fun trying out something new.

Senior football player Dylan Moss helped organize and lead the camp as a part of his senior project for his final high school year. When asked why he chose this for his project Moss answered, “I love football! And I wanted to give back to this community and program that has meant

so much to me.”

Moss has had a unique perspective over his football career as both a player on the field as well as coach from the sidelines. Just weeks before the beginning of the football season in his junior year, Moss was in a motorbike accident that left him with a crushed knee cap, broken ankle, broken ribs, punctured lung, broken wrist, and a concussion. With such severe injuries, Moss’ hopes for his upcoming season were brought to an end.

But despite his injuries and not being able to take the field, Moss didn’t let his injuries stop him from being a part of the Dragon football team. He supported his team from the sidelines, helping his

coaches and encouraging his teammates in a time that would have been easy for him to feel bad about his circumstances. “I could have just sat around at home,” said Moss, “or I could’ve joined my team. Seeing the plays from the sidelines, doing the mental reps and helping the coaches has helped my own game even when I couldn’t play.”

That perspective from the sideline coupled with his love of the game was the perfect pairing for Moss’ senior project. Coach Brady Price, who helped lead the camp and games, shared, “Dylan loves football. He doesn’t just want to play the game but teach it as well.” Coach Price applauded Moss’s work as he led out in the drills, skills, and competitions. He pointed out what a difference it makes for the kids that participate in the camp to be led by the Dragon football team, saying, “These kids look up to them. They want to be them someday. Getting to do the drills with them, be on the field with them and play the game with them makes them even more excited.”

The youth camps and games are an important part of building a strong football program. The MHS football team and coaches are looking to create a team built on a strong foundation of sound skills and a love for the game from a young age. There’s no denying that a night of football under the lights is a great way to light that fire for future Dragon football stars.

The hay fields are hard at work as the weeks of summer are rolling by. Whether it is grass, alfalfa, grain or some mix in between, the hay coming off of those fields is a precious commodity for the farmers and ranchers that count on the feed for the upcoming winter season. The hay markets have remained high for another year, proving just how profitable it can be to be in the hay making business.

In theory, putting up hay sounds like a simple job- cut the hay, bale it up, and save it for later. But putting up good quality is much more complex, a mixture of art and science held together with the glue of quality experience.

There’s a lot to consider when it's time to start cutting down hay. Ideally, you want a lot of tonnage with the highest quality of nutrition from a field that will continue to produce a strong vigorous stand for years to come. Unfortunately, when it comes to hay, you have to pick and choose your priorities.

The nutrition found stored in hay, especially those like alfalfa, are found in the leaves of the plant. As the plant grows, there comes a time that the nutrients and energy stored in the plant are used to produce

season for hay concerns

buds which will flower and create new seeds. This being said, there is a balance of letting the stand grow long enough to have a significant amount of hay but before the nutritional value declines. If a farmer is looking to put up top quality hay, hay that might be used for dairy cattle or feed cattle that require more energy and protein from their feed, will begin cutting hay when the plants are just beginning to flower. A farmer putting up hay for cattle that simply need feed to maintain their condition, don’t need the same high protein and energy in their hay so they can allow their stand to mature to nearly full bloom before cutting, which will allow them a higher yield.

A final thing that farmers and ranchers need to consider when it comes to the timing of their cuttings is the effect it will have on their crop as a whole. For an operation that prioritizes having as many cuttings in a season as possible or to have young high quality, nutrient dense hay, it's important to recognize that there is a trade off that comes in the form of the crop as a whole losing its persistence.

In addition to storing energy needed for plant growth and maturation in the plant leaves, alfalfa and similar plants will

store energy reserves in the crown and the root of the plants in preparation for growth in the spring and again after each harvest. Ideally, there are high energy reserves in the root as a plant is first beginning to grow. The energy is then used for the plant growth, depleting the root reserves. As the plants begin to mature, the root stores begin to rebuild again. If the plants are cut too young when there are little root reserves, the new growth will come back with less vigor and the stand will last closer to three years instead of five or six.

It’s difficult to know just when the nutrient quality is at its peak or when the root energy reserves are refilled or when the tonnage gained has outweighed the nutrition. Soil, weather, and other conditions can change the timing of hay growth. This means that hay cuttings can’t be calculated out or simply written on the calendar. The science can tell us what is happening and what to look for, but it is experience that computes what is being seen into quality hay or not.

Quality hay doesn’t just come from cutting a stand of hay at the right time but baling it at the right time as well. Typically speaking, it takes about three days for hay to dry enough to be bales, but once again, it’s that

experience that dictates just what the right time is.

How and when hay is baled has a lot to do to preserve the nutrition stored in the plants. If hay is put up too dry, the leaves are much more fragile and likely to be crushed, losing all of its protein and energy stores. But hay baled too wet can also be damaging.

Allowing hay time to dry or cure allows time for the natural respiration that takes place inside the plant cells to stop. Respiration in the plant will use up the stores of nutrients, decreasing the energy and proteins intended for the livestock eating the hay on a later day. Moisture content below 30% is considered to be low enough to inhibit cellular respiration to preserve the plant nu-

trition.

Like anything left warm and wet, hay baled to moist can develop mold, which can lead to a myriad of problems from poor palatability to toxicity in some animals. The microorganisms of mold will use the nutrients found in the hay, decreasing nutrient levels. Mold can lead to mycotoxins, which if found in significant levels can be toxic and in extreme circumstances, cause death. The more common, moderate side effect of ingested mold is decreased ruminant function which in turn leads to slower growth. Mold dust in significant amounts can also be dangerous for farmers and ranchers to breath in, causing diseases such as farmer’s lung that can result in permanent lung damage.

As the microbes that thrive in warm moist environments continue to break down the hay plants, they also put off heat. With the right circumstances, bales can overheat and eventually combust. Internal temperatures as low as 190 degrees have been found to catch fire.

Putting up a stack of high quality hay is indeed an art, a juggling act of timing, science, and experience to find just the right mix of conditions. Of course, Murphy’s Law will always play a part in putting off a well intended timeline with breakdowns and pop up thunderstorms. But even then, farmers and ranchers keep a keen eye and skilled hand at the ready to fill the hay sheds with the best hay of the season.

4-H Practice Horse Show

This year, the Extension Office held a practice horse show in order to give participants a chance to work in the ring with a judge on hand to observe and comment. According to Kelly Sorensen of the Extension Office, “our practice show judge was local horse trainer Dave Kent. He did a great job by giving feedback to the youth on things they

could use some work or improvement on in their riding. They went through all the show classes like the fair so to help them prepare. The Classes were Showmanship, Bareback Equation, Equation, Horsemanship, Trail, Reining and Ranch riding. We had 6 youth participate. It was a huge success!”

Participants in the practice horse show

were Kendrey Bywater, Tayvia Bywater, Maudee Leavitt, Lyndee Nimer, Cassidy Schrenk, and Sam Schrenk.

This year’s fair is scheduled for August 13 through August 19 at the Fairgrounds, with the Eastern Idaho State Fair to follow from September 1 through September 9.

Awesome Lambers Report

The Lamb club at the 4-H/Extension Office has secured the services of one of its members as a reporter this summer, and provides the following reports:

June 26:

The last week of June, we started off with demonstrations. We also learned how to show our sheep and what to wear during the show. We also earned how our sheep pen should be.

BRAIN TEASERS

There is also more presentations next week. There are also more presentations today, such as how to worm our sheep. We also learned how to clean and wash our sheep. We also practiced how to show our

sheep.

July 3: 13 Attended. Austin Wangsgard told us what products to use on our sheep. McCall Clark told us what the Judge is going to ask

us. This week, Annie Wangsgard, our leader, taught us about different products. We also learned what to use the products we use to groom or get them ready for the fair.

July 10: Today we learned what ringworm is and we learned how to use record books.

Few people could stick with one job for 58 years, but H. Ward Thomas has done just that, serving the people of Malad all those years as City Treasurer. Thomas, who is 85 years old, took the position in October 1940. At the time, Malad wasn’t even considered a city. It was the Village of Malad City. It wasn’t until May 1942, that Malad was given the distinction of becoming a city of the second class.

Childhood memories aren’t prevalent in my mind, but I have a few. One involved drawing, coloring and cutting out American flags. Then, Jean Castleton and I peddled them around the neighborhood. We were quite the entrepreneurs. Mrs. Clabby bought every single one. I’m not sure if she was trying to save the rest of the neighbors or if she really liked our flags. The world needs more Mrs. Clabbys. I don’t recall planning to make paper flags. We just did it, and that memory has lasted sixty something years.

Some of the best times during my teenage years were meeting friends at the Drive In and then figuring out an adventure such as finding the best green apples in town, hypnotizing each other, toilet papering a friend’s house, hooky bobbing on a snow-packed road, or whatever came to mind. Sometimes we just rode around, but we enjoyed spending time together. Few things were planned.

Zoning Hearing

The council opened a hearing on the zoning issue related to Bryce Goodin’s proposed subdivision south of town on Highway 38. The rezone request is from its current status as Industrial to Residential.

Brad Coleman reported on the PZ meeting of June 22, in which the zoning change was discussed. The effects of the zoning change on any future boundary adjustments were discussed. PZ unanimously recommended approval of the zoning change for the property. Bryce Goodin was present to explain the purpose for the zoning change.

The change is preparatory to developing the area from industrial to residential in order to provide housing within proximity to town.

Bryce mentioned that the development of the area into residential land would avoid the problems of industrial noise and traffic from affecting the neighbors currently in the area. He also mentioned that the area falls within the city’s comprehensive plan for development.

Scott McMurtry, who lives adjacent to the property, spoke to the council about the need to assure that the development was approached “right,” especially with regard to traffic. Scott was not opposed to the development in general, but wanted to be certain that it was handled well. Scott asked about the future of the old sewer plant, which is no longer in use as a result of the city’s new sewage system. Bryce explained that approximately 6065 homes will eventually be built on the property, although that was not a part of the night’s hearing, which was specifically focused on rezoning. Councilmember Tyrell Neal expressed a concern about monitoring the size and type of growth within the city. The hearing was closed after comments were taken. A motion to approve the rezone of the property to Residential R was approved.

Bryce Goodin

Goodin also presented a development pre-application notice for the development. The mayor stressed that the city needed to make sure to require development agreements from developers. Bryce was asked for a timeframe for completion of the subdivision. He stated that tentatively a plan to complete the development sometime within 5-10 years was in effect. He mentioned that the pace of growth/sales had slowed down recently.

The lots average around a third of an acre. Bryce stated that his plans were primarily to sell the lots, rather than necessarily houses, although he would also take contracts for homebuilding. The city’s contracted engineers have been contacted with the plans, but have not responded to the council yet. The application will be submitted after

the pre-application is approved within 15 days of the July 12 meeting. The preliminary plat for the mountain valley subdivision was approved.

Brad Coleman raised the issue of the subdivision’s outlet roads. He suggested that a collector road, rather than three separate exit roads, would potentially be safer. A motion was made in the PZ meeting to have a hearing on the application when it moves forward.

Mike Hess, Jr.

Mike Hess, Jr. spoke to the council about an incident in May when the water was shut off to the industrial park, causing a loss of production to the Hess Pumice plant. He requested that the council think about potentially lifting the moratorium on well drilling to allow for a production well on site in the event of future such incidents. The mayor suggested that she would try to set up a meeting with the regional director of water resources to discuss the issue. Hess also mentioned that there was a water leak in the industrial park that was potentially leaking a gallon a minute and in need of repair. Hess also mentioned the condition of the road going into the industrial park, which was stated to be in disrepair.

Audit

The auditor contracted by the city reported on the city’s audit. The city’s finances, and budget outlay were all considered to be within normal parameters, though the auditor did call attention specifically to the sprinkler budget, which was a money loss for the city. Otherwise, there were no areas of concern or causes for alarm in the audit. The audit for 2022 was approved by the council.

Tory Richardson

A representative of the software company Cloupermit spoke with the council remotely through Zoom about the potential for software to aid in development in the city. He specifically mentioned the utility of having a website for the collection and submission of required development documents, such as applications, plans, etc. Cloudpermit is the software he recommended. The software would allow the city and county to coordinate the activities of the building inspector and track the various elements of the application processes in both jurisdictions.

Building Inspector Tory Richardson spoke to the city by way of clarifying the sequence of the building permit process. Most of the buildings he inspects are sheds, garages, and houses, which follow a typical pattern. Sometimes the inspected buildings fall outside the normal parameters, however, and don’t easily fit into situations described by the city’s ordinances.

The building that was formerly occupied by the Burger Shack is at-

tempting to convert into a storage unit facility.

Richardson expressed some concern about the fact there isn’t a process in place for the approval of applications for buildings or improvements.

As the building inspector, Richardson would like assurance that the issues that come to him for inspection have been somehow vetted for legality and compliance.

The council suggested that in the past, those activities have been part of the inspector’s job, but they would be willing to work through planning and zoning to clarify some of the less common potential issues.

Kevin Harris— Bannock Street

Kevin Harris spoke to the council about the Bannock Street project. In 2018, the city first put in for funding to redo Bannock Street. The original beginning date for the start was 2023, though it has been pushed back. An opportunity for alternative funding through a program called TAPS was recently obtained to cover curb and gutter to 3rd West. Another recent grant is a possibility, but won’t be available until potentially 2027. The project is likely to get underway by 2024. Governor Little approved a project SIGP for rural communities with a total of $50 million for 25 projects. The state would like the money spent in 2024. The grant is competitive, and geared toward projects that can be completed quickly.

Applications are due on September 1, and essentially require a plan in order to remain competitive. The number of various grants may have the potential to be combined and streamlined, which would prevent a gap during the construction/ project cycle. A motion to let Forsgren apply for the Strategic Initiative Grant Program was approved.

Sheriff Report

Sheriff Arne Jones provided his report to the council. The issue of traffic on 400 West on to 700 North was raised. The sheriff suggested signs on 400 West and 700 North to alert drivers to the fact that semis are not permitted on residential streets.

The sheriff next raised the issue of animal control, especially the management of dogs.

The call volume has increased from about 25 calls a week to about 65 a week over the last few years. Due to the volume, the sheriff reports that the department is struggling to keep up with the ordinance and animal control tasks.

The contract under which the sheriff’s office has been tasked with animal control and ordinance enforcement has technically expired, though it has verbally been extended through informal agreement.

According to the sheriff, 65% of the calls are from the city. In the early 70s, the city council dissolved the city police

department and contracted the county sheriff’s office to police the city.

Dustin Smith asked the sheriff whether he would prefer to take on animal control and ordinance responsibilities. The sheriff stated that he thought the situation worked smoothly with a dedicated animal control/ordinance officer.

The mayor and council took the issue under advisement, and planned to discuss a way forward on the issue. The council discussed putting together a job posting for a code enforcement officer. The position would free up resources for the sheriff’s office, and allow for a number of nuisance complaints and other violations to be managed. Code enforcement deals with the various nuisance and other ordinances in the city’s limits, such as fencing regulations, parking issues, animal calls, noise complaints, etc. The sheriff explained that often other issues, such as domestic disputes and other potential criminal concerns, take priority over the ordinance and animal issues. A dedicated enforcement officer would allow both parallel sets of issues to be managed at once.

The council thanked the sheriff for his department’s help during the Fourth of July.

The sheriff also mentioned a number of dangerous driving reports about ebikes and other motorized vehicles. Regulations regarding non-licensed motorized vehicles are fairly new in the state, and the sheriff expects to see further legislation covering them sometime in the future, given their

prevalence and some of the issues that they have created with regard to traffic and safety.

PZ Report

Shelly Williams reiterated several of the points made earlier in the meeting regarding the zoning hearings.

JustService Committee

A representative from the JustService group would like someone from the city council to sit on the committee to help organize service projects in the area. The group works to help organize volunteers and volunteer-run projects in local communities, and plans to be involved in the Day of Service that takes place in conjunction with 9/11 Patriot Day.

Striping on South Main

The lanes on South Main are in need of re-striping. The council determined that the road needs to be repainted sometime before school starts.

Co-op Painting

The city has been approached by an individual who asked about painting the co-op. Due to the building’s historic nature, there is some question about whether painting the building is in the best interest of its preservation. The state historical preservation society advised against painting the building, but to work toward restoring the wood and metal elements. The council decided to meet with the representative from the historical society sometime within the

next few months before making any major decisions on the exterior of the building.

Museum Jean Thomas from the Museum provided an info sheet to the city showing the museum’s activities over the last year.

Business License

Malad Ace Hardware applied for a business license. The business license was approved.

Reports:

One issue brought up to at least one of the council members was that of people being sprayed with water guns during the recent parade. The individuals who had commented on the situation understood the harmless intent of the floats with water guns, but asked that they be advised not to spray elderly individuals, or infants in strollers.

Work will start on North Main on July 17.

The City Superintendent and his crew will fix two hydrants and a flower box on Main while the street is being repaved. The hydrants are reportedly not working correctly, and leaking into adjacent properties. This was recently an issue as a result of the filling of the swimming pool from one of the hydrants, which affected nearby basements.

The issue of water running all day at outside the dog pound was raised. The property is also used for cattle, and the watering trough is constantly in use. The City has a contract for leasing the space.

OBITUARY SUBMISSION INFO

North Main Street is undergoing construction beginning Monday. The project is anticipated to take until the end of the week for completion. Hydrants are being repaired in addition to the replacing of the road surface.

Museum continues restoration work

Over 60 crayon portraits hang on the walls of the Oneida Pioneer Museum and bring to memory some of the pioneers of Malad Valley. According to the Idaho Heritage Trust, the Oneida Pioneer Museum has one of the best collections of pioneer-era crayon portraits in the State.

Crayon portraits are not done with Crayola-type crayons but were created through a photographic process used from 1840 to the early 1900s. Faster, cheaper, and easier to make than a painting, a crayon portrait was a weak photographic image that provided the base for extensive handwork by an artist in charcoal or pastel.

The drawings were often nearly life size. The prints blended the accuracy of a photograph with the artistry of a painted portrait with the finished piece often giving the appearance of a drawing or painting.

All of the local Museum’s portraits have been professionally conserved by DiAnne Iverglynne, an expert on preserving crayon portraits. DiAnne carefully repairs scratches and tears in the portrait, removes stains and streaks, and then wraps the portrait in a

UV-ray resistant pack that will protect the portrait for 100+ years.

DiAnne also seeks period frames and glass if the portrait is not already in an appropriate frame.

DiAnne has spent two weekends in Malad, first evaluating the condition of seven additional portraits and ordering needed frames, glass, and preservation paper. Then she has worked to preserve the recently donated portraits so that they can join the others on the walls of the Museum. The portraits that are new to the collection are of Jesse N. Ward (1874-1955), Julia Ann Moon Ward (18681958), Sarah Elizabeth

Dives Daniels (18561939), Thomas D. Daniels (1855-1917), George Ward (18441901), Eunice Alice Nichols Ward (18531933), and Mary B. Evans (1910-1958).

If anyone has a crayon portrait of an Oneida County native that dates back to the early 1900s or earlier, please consider donating it to the Museum so that it can be displayed as part of the collection. Sometimes old pioneer portraits are considered too old or in too bad of shape to be of value, but conservationists can work miracles on these priceless portraits of people important to the history of Oneida County.

Local Women compete in USA Senior National Championship tennis

The USA senior national championships were held the past two weeks in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Sylvia Williams (Cherry Creek) won the national championship in tennis in Albuquerque New Mexico in 2019 in the 70-74 year old age group and is representing Idaho and Utah this year in the 75-79 group. The Senior Games National Championships are normally held every other year, but because of COVID they were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 so this year is back to back.

Sylvia's daughter, Marrianne Squires from Lehi,

BOYS MAJOR

Utah attended with her. Marianne won the Gold medal in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in tennis in 2022 in the 50-54 age group and was defending her championship in the same division. Marianne and Sylvia were also playing doubles together in the 50 - 54 age group, the only mother - daughter team in the tournament, which required Sylvia to play in the younger age group. Both Sylvia and Marianne played very well in doubles but lost their 2nd match to the team from New Hampshire that went on to win the gold. Marianne and Sylvia went on to win their two matches and win 5th place. Sylvia in her singles matches, in the second round she played the number one seed (the eventual champion from Brattleboro, Vermont) and lost to her and fell back into the consolation bracket where she won against her last two opponents and won the bronze medal and 3rd place nationally. It was a marathon match of over 3 hours and ended in a 10 point tie-breaker that was very close as the lead changed back and forth many times. Sylvia was down 7 - 9 and came back and won 5 of the next 6 points for a 12 - 10 victory.

DelMar Williams, husband and father, attended with them and was their biggest fan!
