NEWS IN BRIEF Mar-a-Lago searched by the FBI
Former President Donald Trump’s estate in Florida was searched by the FBI on Monday, leading to immediate reactions from both sides of the political divide. Many Trump supporters rushed to denounce the actions of the DOJ, while the department itself has remained silent on the nature of the search. The former president has been accused of the removal of classified documents from the White House, which is the primary speculation about the source of the raid, as well as potentially criminal actions in the ongoing investigation into the events leading up to January 6 at the Capitol building.

Malad Stake Trek 2022
After months and months of planning, Trek 2022 has finally come and gone. It came with much excitement, anticipation and even a little anxiety for the participating youth and leaders that enjoyed the three day spiritual adventure at Sellars Creek Ranch, a church welfare ranch that aside from raising cattle, is dedicated to be used as a trek facility. Hundreds of youth, parents and leaders gathered at the Malad Stake Center Thursday, August 4, in the early hours of A much needed rest during the long haul the day to begin their trek experience. As the youth entered the parking lot, they were divided into their adopted trek families for the weekend. Twenty-five couples from around the stake had previously been called and set apart to serve the Ma’s and Pa’s to lead each family over the next few days. After the families had all gathered, their first task was to decorate their flag that would later be hung on their handcarts along the journey. Each family had chosen a motto, slogan, scripture or quote that was meaningful to them and would hopefully inspire their trek experience. Before leaving for the trek site, all of the families gathered together to begin with a few words of direction and instruction from members of the youth council that had been working to plan and prepare the MALAD STAKE TREK 2022 On Page 9

Tech giants seek minerals in Greenland
Trekkers find a new perspective at the peak of the same name
Horse Races Canceled over weekend Due to heavy rainfall on Saturday, the scheduled pari-mutuel races were cancelled for the weekend. While rainstorms in August are not unheard of in Oneida County, they certainly aren’t common. In this case, the timing and the accumulation simply meant that the ground was not suitable for racing, even on Sunday. Director of Racing Todd Thomas made the determination early on Saturday that it was not going to be possible to get the track in shape for races on Saturday even if the rain were to stop, which it didn’t until just before scheduled post time. The question was closer on Sunday, but after several owners were invited by Thomas and other HORSE RACES CANCELED On Page 9
As the ice sheets have retreated in Greenland over the last several years, a number of tech entrepreneurs have begun operations to seek for what is believed to be large deposits of Nickel and Cobalt, which are both critical for electric cars and other green technology. The irony of the fact that these deposits have been opened as a result of climate fluctuations, but present a good method for combatting those fluctuations has been noted.
