MARRIOTT-SLATERVILLE CITY HISTORY OCTOBER 2001 Residents expected Indian Summer to arrive with October; after all, our calendars told us Autumn commenced on September 22. Summer weather, dry, sunny and warm continued through the month, keeping gardens growing and lawns green. While we enjoyed the beautiful days, concern mounted as cloudless skies brought no rain to ease the drought. Conservation of water has been urged at all levels of state and local government. Jerry Goodspeed, USU Extension Service Horticulturist for Weber County, published excellent information concerning conservation in the care of our lawns and gardens. This information was sent to all City residents as part of the October issue of The Pioneer Post. The second annual Good Neighbor Awards were given to five members of the community. Vickie Butler, Kenneth Little, Darrell Mecham, Les Syme and Myron Stevenson were the recipients. Thanks from all of us to them for making Marriott-Slaterville a more beautiful community. William M. Morris was sworn in as the City Attorney on October 17, 2001. Special recognition is extended to the sponsors of our 2001 summer activities.
