America 250 (Wikipedia)
The Native Americans in Maryland were a peaceful people who welcomed the English. At the time of the founding of the Maryland colony, approximately forty tribes consisting of 8,000 – 10,000 people lived in the area. They were fearful of the colonists' guns, but welcomed trade for metal tools. The Native Americans who were living in the location where the colonists first settled were called the Yaocomico Indians. The colonists gave the Yaocomico Indians cloth, hatchets, and hoes in exchange for the right to settle on the land. The Yaocomico Indians allowed the English settlers to live in their houses, a type of longhouse called a witchott. The Indians also taught the colonists how to plant corn, beans, and squash, as well as where to find food such as clams and oysters.[12][13]
The recorded history of Maryland dates back to the beginning of European exploration, starting with the Venetian John Cabot, who explored the coast of North America for the Kingdom of England in 1498. After European settlements had been made to the south and north, the colonial Province of Maryland was granted by King Charles I to Sir George Calvert (1579–1632), his former Secretary of State in 1632, for settlement beginning in March 1634. It was notable for having been established with religious freedom for Roman Catholics, since Calvert had publicly converted to that faith.[1][2][3] Like other colonies and settlements of the Chesapeake Bay region, its economy was soon based on tobacco as a commodity crop, highly prized among the English, cultivated primarily by African slave labor, although many young people came from Britain sent as indentured servants or criminal prisoners in the early years.
In 1781, during the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), Maryland became the seventh state of the United States to ratify the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. They were drawn up by a committee of the Second Continental Congress (1775–1781), which began shortly after the adoption of a Declaration of Independence in July 1776, to 1778. Later that year, these articles were recommended to the newly independent sovereign states via their legislatures for the required unanimous ratification. This long process was held up for three years by objections from smaller states led by Maryland until certain issues and principles over the western lands beyond the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River. These objections were resolved with the larger states agreeing to cede their various western claims to the authority of the new Congress of the Confederation, representing all the states, to be held in common for the laying out and erection of new states out of the jointly held federal territories. Maryland then finally agreed to join the new American confederation by being one of the last of the former colonies ratifying the long proposed Articles in 1781, when they took effect. Later that same decade, Maryland became the seventh state to ratify the stronger government structure proposed in the new U.S. Constitution in 1788.

Magpies
Magpies are one of my favorite birds. They also inspire strong emotions in humans. They are familiar in the Bear Lake valley and
across the West. They are not found in
the eastern states. Magpies are intelligent, adaptable and bold. These attributes they are both admired and
loathed. They are considered an
annoyance and inconvenience by some they're also highly social may leave gifts
for humans that feed them. Like other
intelligent opportunistic corvids (ravens, crows, jays) magpies take advantage
of resources whenever they can find them.
Magpies are probably known to scavenge garbage, eat carrion, and steal
poorly guarded pet food and raid picnics. This gives the birds a bad reputation
and many people consider them as pests. People
used to believe that they drank cow’s blood but in fact they were up on the
back of the cow just picking ticks off it.
They have a special place in mythology as well. Magpies are recognized as messengers by numerous
indigenous cultures in North America. They would spread air to humans or carry news
within the Creator. A widespread story is how magpies were helping humans and
birds alike and were given the honor of the wearing the rainbow of iridescence on
the bird's tails and wings.
They are interesting birds with a complex life history. They build reusable, large, dome shaped nests and parents aggressively protect their young. The young birds are vocal and may drive you crazy with their squawking. A group of magpies may come together with other family groups to “mob” other birds and animals. Magpies are one of the few species that hold funerals. When one of them dies, it will be surrounded by up flock that makes a ruckus of sounds for fifteen minutes before becoming silent and flying off. Take some time and watch their antics and behavior. You may even learn to like them as I do.

Scholarships
CentraCom is giving away six scholarships.
It’s the time of year when high school seniors are thinking about the next great step in their lives—college. They are thinking about where to go, where to live, and what classes to take. College is a wonderful experience, but it can get expensive in a hurry. Application fees, tuition, student fees, housing, books… the list goes on and on.
We are committed to helping the students in our service areas achieve their goal of a college education. For the past 23 years, CentraCom has offered scholarships to eligible high school seniors planning to attend college. This has been a great opportunity not only to serve our community but to get to know future leaders of America.
We are pleased to announce that we have again partnered with Snow College to bring even larger scholarship value. We will give away six scholarships with an initial value of $750. If the recipient chooses to attend Snow College, the scholarship from CentraCom will be $1,500 and Snow College will match $500 raising the value to $2,000. The scholarship may be used for any college expense, such as tuition, books, housing, etc.
But hurry. The application deadline is April 10, 2026!

Town of Woodruff Minutes for Jan. 20, 2026
Woodruff Town Board Meeting
January 20, 2026 Minutes from the Woodruff Town Board meeting held January 20, 2026 at the Town Hall at 5:00 p.m. Those present: Board Members: Monika Schulthess (435) 881-9098, mayor@woodruff.utah.gov Briton Brown (801) 243-2238, briton259@gmail.com Tyler Walker (801) 589-4588, tylerbrianwalker@gmail.com Joel Marler (801) 567-1195, joelmarler@me.com Allie Deru (435) 793-4201, clerk@woodruff.utah.gov Travis Hobbs Paul Webb Monika Schulthess' family for swearing in Absent: Raymond Frandsen (801) 448-1545 Monika Schulthess opened the meeting. The meeting started with the swearing in of the new Mayor, Monika Schulthess and the new board members, Tyler Walker and Briton Brown. Travis Hobbs, the county fire warden, came to discuss the Cooperative Wildfire Systems to the board. This is basically insurance for the town and its residents if there was ever a wildfire inside the town limits. The entity is billed on previous fire behavior and Woodruff has a very low risk assessment. Therefore, Woodruff will not have to pay anything towards this insurance fund. House Bill 48 was recently passed that requires every entity to adopt the Wildfire Urban Interface Code. Any development being built will have to meet requirements enforced by this code. Travis Hobbs is going to help the town with developing a wildland map to help meet the requirements. BRAG is helping with this and is a good resource for the town. Travis is planning to come to next board meeting where the town will plan on adopting this new ordinance into the town code. Paul Webb came to discuss what siding the board wants to do for new siding around the new doors he installed in the Town Hall garage. He suggests white vinyl or wood because it's easier to maintain and replace when needed. The doors work really well. It was suggested that everyone look around and come to next board meeting with an idea about what to get. Paul is working on sanding and painting the tables that are at the park pavilion. He will work on getting the new playground slide done in the spring. Mayor Schulthess brought up the discussion about increasing the clerk's wage. There was discussion about increasing the wage during certain times of the year when it is busier but determined that may be hard to manage. There was a suggestion of raising the wage by $500 a month. Joel Marler suggested keeping a rough count of how many hours Allie does spend and can revisit the discussion at the end of the year. Briton Brown made a motion to approve a $500 raise for the clerk. Joel Marler seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Allie Deru presented the board with bids for the new playground equipment that will be purchased with the TRT grant money. One bid includes the playground structure and wood fiber blown in. The other bid includes the playground company doing the prep work, concrete curbing, installation, wood fiber and playground structure. The grant money covers basically just the playground structure. The town will have to put up money for the remaining work. The company does not have to install the playground structure to keep the warranty on the playground structure so it could possibly be installed by whoever the board decides to. Joel Marler wondered about any local companies that we could pay to do this work instead of the playground company. The area of where this structure can go was discussed. The plan as of right now is to put it in front of the swings. Allie Deru is going to bid out the job and a decision will be made next meeting on how the work will be done. Allie is going to ask the playground company about the wood fiber, what it consists of and whether other materials could be used. There were two business licenses discussed. Joel Marler made a motion to approve Terri Knudsen's license. Tyler Walker seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Tyler Walker made a motion to approve Amanda and Mitch Jessen's license. Briton Brown seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Ray Bradshaw presented paperwork to Monika for her to sign so that he can move forward with his Freedom Wall project. The wall will be prepped and ready for him to start whenever he is ready. Tyler Walker is on the fire board for the town board. He went to their meeting this month. Joel Marler made a motion to approve December minutes. Tyler Walker seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Briton Brown made a motion to approve the January bills. Joel Marler seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting was adjourned at 6:10 p.m. _______________________________________ Clerk

Meeting Report
Reporter: Randall
Knight
The meeting
started on time with all board members present. Others in attendance were Tiffany
Wahlberg and Chief Mike Wahlberg
Board members
have to complete state required training courses every year. Most of them have completed the training.
Additional
Compensation for Board Members was discussed for duties beyond job description continued and the board felt that the amounts
already being paid are adequate.
The board feels
there should be a description in the
Employee Policy Manual regarding the personnel performance and a planning tool
for the Department to utilize for strategic planning. A policy draft and forms was sent to the board members to review.
The Winterfest
Support went well with 293 jumpers and firefighters were available for any in
need of rescue or assistance getting out of the water. One rescue suit was damaged and needs repair.
The county fire
marshal sent a grant opportunity for a slide-in unit for a small truck to
consider. Because it is a slide in unit it
would not fit the trucks that have already been outfitted or ordered. The Chief thinks it might still be worth
putting in for as a secondary light truck or trailer project. He is also
working on another grant that would allow up to $10,000 for wildland PPE.
There are 5 new
recruits, some with previous experience. The station organization is
progressing well. The new truck (Brush 42) will be getting decals put on and
the Chief’s truck IC 40 is at the dealership getting the rear end repaired.
The were 4 fire
alarms, 2 CO calls, 1 propane leak, 3 medical calls, 4 business inspections, 2
fire pit inspections, 6 burn permits, 33 short-term rental inspections.
