NEWS Preserving Idaho's Winter Wonderland

While it is an exhilarating rush slicing through pristine powder, navigating open meadows or between trees, the thrill of jumping off trail and "boondocking" can damage trees, fences, and gates. Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) is actively working to keep this beloved recreation open by collaborating with snowmobilers. "Accidental or careless activities such as running over young trees emerging out of the snow can stunt tree growth," said Todd Wernex, IDL Recreation Program Manager. "Trees provide product for the forest industry and help fund Idaho's public schools." One dollar from each Over Snow Vehicle (OSV) tag now goes to IDL to provide snowmobile opportunities and to repair impacts directly related to snowmobile use on Idaho Endowment Land. IDL, Idaho Parks and Recreation, counties, and private landowners are joining together to maintain access. "The OSV fund allows us to build kiosks, purchase snow poles for grooming, and assist with brush clearing on trails," added Wernex. "We are also developing maps and signs to guide snowmobilers away from vulnerable areas." While signs and maps are being developed, snowmobilers are urged to:

Reuben Otis Donaldson

On December 30, 2023, Reuben Donaldson, age 91, passed away in peace at his home in Gooding, Idaho. At the end he was surrounded by his loved ones as he was throughout his lifetime. Reuben was born in Sundance, Wyoming on April 28, 1932, to parents Glenn and Ida Mae Donaldson. In 1942 his mother passed away and the family relocated to Casper, Wyoming where he later attended Natrona County High School. He was the eldest of three, with a brother, David, and a sister, Glenneta. Always ambitious, he took on various jobs from an early age. In his teens he worked for a local butcher shop cutting, wrapping and delivering meat to nearby residents. At age 17, Reuben enlisted in the United States Navy. During the Korean Conflict, he served aboard the aircraft carrier, USS Kearsarge, as a Damage Controlman (fireman). He completed his service honorably and was discharged in 1953. During his stint in the Navy, he was stationed for a time in Monterey, California. It was there where he met the love of his life, Beaudine “Skeet” Gaunt. Reuben and Skeet were together until her passing in 2012, a good run of 60 years. Married on January 12, 1952, their union produced 5 sons: David, Matthew, Daniel, Benjamin and Ronard.

Larry Sam Simis

obit ua ry

Larry Sam Simis, 79, a resident of Gooding passed away on Monday, January 8th, 2024. The son of Sam O. Simis and Anna Marie Casch, Larry was born on November 13th, 1944 in Gooding, Idaho. Growing up, Larry learned responsibility by working on the family farm feeding animals and milking cows. While he was in high school, he took great pride in restoring, detailing, and painting his beloved 1957 Chevy. As a senior he served as student body president proudly representing his school and classmates. His high school friendships lasted a lifetime. After graduating from Gooding High School, he attended the University of Idaho for a short time. He decided to come back home and propose to his sweetheart Lana Larsen who he had his eye on since he was 12 years old. On Christmas Eve at his parents' home, Larry asked Lana to marry him. They married on April 17th 1965, in Gooding, Idaho. They settled in Gooding and their marriage brought them three children – Todd, Michael and Shelley -- who have given them more joy than words can ever express. During this time of raising their children, Larry worked long hours for 18 years at the Beakon Bean Company providing for his family. Larry then took a job at Gooding Seed Company working with his brother Don Simis and Larry Roberston until his retirement. Larry felt honored to assist the farmers with needed services and he enjoyed taking Lana on rides to check out the farmers crops. Over the years, he liked to fish, hunt, and spend time with family at the cabin near Redfish Lake. Larry loved watching his children and grandchildren compete in various activities and sports and was always proud of them. Larry and Lana cherished their family vacations creating memories that will last a lifetime. He loved the game of golf. It was a lifelong sport for him playing with his family in the Father's Day tournaments where he was known as the "Shark". Special memories were made in the annual Member Guest tournament that he looked forward to every year. Larry and Lana enjoyed their friendships through poker club gatherings, cruise and travel vacations, golf tournaments, and sporting events. Travels after Larry's retirement included many trips to Arizona in their 5th wheel to gather with friends. He immensely enjoyed his daily coffee gatherings with his buddies and Thursdays were always reserved for seniors' golf. During his lifetime he served on the Gooding School District Board, as a Gooding Booster Club President, participated in Optimist Club activities and was currently serving as Board Chairman of the Gooding Cemetery District. Larry was like an oak tree, ever so strong, sturdy and stable. He endured many health struggles including a heart attack, a pacemaker implant, lung cancer, and every time he fought back to overcome these challenges. Of course, his stubbornness prevailed, never bending much...just like the oak tree. He will always be our Captain America fighting through until the end. Dad loved watching football and he and mom enjoyed watching the national championship game on the night he passed. We will love you always and forever. He is survived by his wife – Lana Simis; his children – Todd (Lissa) Simis, Michael (Holly) Simis, Shelley (Chris) Comstock; his grandchildren – Makena (Katie) Simis, Peyton Simis, Preslie Simis, Shae Simis, Bryson Comstock, Riley Comstock, and Taylen Comstock; great granddaughter - Avery Simis; and sister - Nancy Mortensen. He was preceded in death by his parents - Sam and Anna Simis; and sisters - Minnie Krahn and Dorothy Lutz; and brother - Don Simis. Funeral services were held on Friday, January 12th, 2024, at the Methodist Church in Gooding followed by lunch and celebration at the Gooding Country Club. Memorial contributions may be made to the Gooding Golf Course.

Sharon Lee Smith

Sharon Lee Smith, 75, from Fairfield, Idaho passed away peacefully at her Boise, Idaho home on Monday, January 15, 2024 after a short yet difficult battle with brain cancer. Sharon was born on May 18, 1948 in Bakersfield, CA to Marie and Alvin Actis. She grew up in a loving home with an older sister (Margaret) and a younger sister (Stevie), and had many happy memories from her childhood. She was very active in high school and involved in many activities. She met the love of her life (Dale) at the Sear’s Candy Department. She was working there, and Dale’s younger brother, Ed, brought him in to meet her. A wedding followed in June 1969, and two daughters later joined the family - Bridget in 1973 and Tricia in 1980. The family continued to live in Bakersfield until 1985 when they made the big move to Idaho. Sharon was very involved in being a room mom and planning parties for her daughter’s classes, being a 4-H leader and active member of the community, while also working on numerous craft projects. After moving to Fairfield, Sharon started working at the local bank - Idaho State Bank - and worked there for over 15 years. After retiring from the bank, Sharon continued her craft projects - she loved to sew and quilt and was an avid collector of fabric. She was also very involved in the Fairfield Community Church - volunteering for various food donations and activities, and working with the Women’s Ministry group. In retirement years, she and Dale enjoyed many trips to warmer southern states during the winter, also fitting in stops to family and friends along the way. In 2016, Sharon became a grandma for the first time, and it was the greatest joy of her life. Three more little girls joined the family over the next few years, and Sharon took great pleasure in babysitting, buying gifts and spending time in Emmett with her four granddaughters. She loved helping out with holidays and birthday parties, helping to make them so fun and memorable for the girls. Sharon is survived by her husband (Dale) of 54 years, her 2 daughters, Bridget of Fairfield, ID and Tricia (Don) and 4 granddaughters of Emmett, ID, her two sisters Margaret (Jack) Ewing and her family of Palm Desert, CA and Stevie (Dave) Nelson and her family of Bishop, CA. She is also survived by her sisters and brothers-in-law and many nephews, nieces, grandnephews and grandnieces, and so many good friends who were like family. A celebration of life service will be held for Sharon on January 27, 2024, 10:00 a.m. at the Fairfield Community Church.
