After being closed for the last couple of months, the little vape store just west of Idaho Street on West Main Street in Wendell has reopened with a new name... Taste of Vape.
Sonya Barnhill in partnership with her husband Clayton (Taste of Ink) is building up her supply of disposable e-cigarettes, with and without nicotine.
Better known as vapes, these battery-operated devices heat a liquid and produce a vaper (smoke) which is inhaled like regular cigarettes. They come in many shapes and sizes, and a large variety of flavors.
Originally developed for smoking cessation, these devices have become a popular alternative from smoking tobacco. Vaping is generally less harmful than smoking because they contain far fewer toxins than cigarette smoke, and can have a much lower concentration of nicotine. Vaping has also spawned a renewed interest in the sport of blowing 'smoke' rings.
Located at 120 West Main Street, Taste of Vape is open 10 to 8 most days. Call ahead to (208) 944-0343 to make sure.
Increased Grocery Tax Credit Proposed for Idaho
Purchasing food-related groceries in Idaho could soon become more affordable under a new bill. HB 61 (Food tax credits and refunds) proposed by Rep. Jason Monks, would increase the Gem State's grocery tax credit from $120 per Idaho resident to $155.
The current grocery tax credit of $120 per Idaho resident equals $480 for a family of four. The new proposed credit of $155 would increase the credit to $620 for a family of four. According to Rep. Jason Monks, that means after claiming the increased tax credit, a family of four would be able to purchase approximately $10,000 worth of food-related groceries tax-free during the year.
The bill also has an alternative option of itemizing receipts which illustrates the complexity that would occur if the grocery tax credit was repealed as some have called for. The challenge is trying to define what qualifies as food for taxation purposes and how to define candy or soda. Instead of repealing or exempting the tax for all, grocery tax credits or rebates may offer lowincome households better savings.
Most policymakers believe sales taxes are more stable and pro-growth than other forms of taxation – especially income taxes - and citizens are better served by adopting higher yearly grocery tax rebates and focusing additional tax relief on reducing income taxes.
News from the Heart of Idaho

By adopting both the increased grocery tax rebate proposed by HB 61 and the income tax relief proposed by HB 40, Idaho lawmakers have the opportunity to continue to build on the tax relief efforts they've been enacting over the last several years. January
Soldier Mountain Hosts Snowmobile Hillclimb Race
This past weekend (January 24-25) 100 of the country's top professional snowmobile teams gathered at Soldier Mountain as the Rocky Mountain Snowmobile Hillclimb Association kicked off its 2025 racing season. According to the ski resort's manager David Alden, this is the first hillclimb race at Soldier and... it is likely the biggest event in Soldier Mountain's 78-year history.
The snowmobile course ran directly under Chair 1, the same area recently converted into a training camp for U.S. Ski & Snowboard's slopestyle teams last month. The ski resort used the snow leftover from the training camp to create jumps for the snowmobilers.
"It was a great time for both skiing and nonskiing families to watch something really exciting and unusual," Alden said. "Lots of people brought their lawn chairs and friends to enjoy this rare opportunity to watch a high caliber race, up close right here in their own backyard."
The RMSHA races ran from 8 to 5 both days, with the mountain's chairlifts operating for normal skiing operations from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Rocky Mountain States Hillclimb Association creates, operates, and manages snowmobile hillclimb racing events in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States. It is the largest and longest-running hillclimb association and the only sanctioned hillclimb organization in the U.S. Visit rmsha.net for more details.

Gooding County Youth Shine at National Livestock Quiz Bowl
Gooding County proudly represented Idaho at the national 4-H contest held in Denver, Colorado, this January. A team of students from Hagerman High School, all members of the Gooding County 4-H program, achieved 5th place overall in the highly competitive Livestock Quiz Bowl Contest.
The team, consisting of Gus Hooper (12th Grade), Saree Hillstead (12th Grade), Mahala Hall (9th Grade), Katherine Kinder (10th Grade), and coaches Heidi Hooper and Glenda Knight brought their dedication and expertise to the national stage after competing at the state level for two years. Their journey reflects years of preparation and study, encompassing topics such as the origins of livestock, management practices, and advanced breeding techniques.
The quiz bowl itself challenges participants in three intense rounds, requiring quick thinking as team members have just ten seconds to answer after buzzing in. The team's performance highlighted their deep knowledge and teamwork under pressure.

Mid-Year Letter from the Gooding School District
Dear Gooding School District Families, Staff, and Community Members, I hope this letter finds you well as we reach the midpoint of the school year. It has been a privilege to serve our community the past year and a half, and I am pleased to provide you with an update on the progress and achievements we have made together.
Academic Achievements:
Our students continue to grow and excel academically, showcasing their dedication to learning and the commitment of our exceptional teaching staff. Interim assessments have shown improvements across all grade levels, reflecting the effectiveness of our curriculum and the hard work of both students and educators.
In response to the ever-evolving educational landscape, we continue to provide meaningful professional development for our staff. This includes mentoring for new staff members and training on curriculum and programs used within each school. We also have a process for updating curriculum that integrates the use of technology within classrooms. Pacing guides and course outlines have been developed and can be found at https://gsd231.org. Our focus on fostering critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills remains steadfast, preparing our students for success in an increasingly complex world.
Safety and Wellbeing:
The safety and wellbeing of our students remain our top priorities. We continue to implement and revise comprehensive safety measures, including enhanced security protocols, emergency preparedness drills, and ongoing mental health support initiatives for staff, students and their families. Our dedicated team of administrators, counselors, psychologist, and support staff are committed to ensuring that every student feels secure and supported throughout their educational journey.
Community Engagement:
Our district thrives on collaboration between schools, families, and the broader community. Over the past year and a half, we have hosted concerts, parent meetings and family events, Dia De Los Muertos and booster club activities. These types of events, and many others, are important to continue fostering that "Senator Pride!"
Infrastructure and Facilities:
Investments in our school infrastructure and facilities continue to be a key focus. Some examples include replacing the roof and redesigning the parent pick up/drop area at the elementary/middle school. Purchasing a new minibus and adding the Senator Street Market and Bistro, a new food service option at the high school. We will always be striving to improve the overall learning environment for our students.
Looking Ahead:
As we enter the second half of the school year, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. One of the biggest is revisiting plans put on hold during COVID to update and/ or remodel our school buildings.
Our commitment to continuous improvement remains unwavering, and we are dedicated to addressing any challenges that may arise.
We will continue to explore new ways to engage our students, support our educators, and strengthen our ties with the community. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our district office.
With great pride, David Carson, Superintendent

obituary
Florence Kay Condie
We regretfully lost Florence Kay Condie (68) on January 20, 2025 in Boise, Idaho. She passed quietly at home, surrounded by a loving family.
Born in Hastings, Michigan, on May 18, 1956, to Danny and Phyllis Ritter, who preceded her in death. A 1974 graduate of Escanaba High School, she was raised in northern Michigan with her brother, Tom and sister, Shelly. She had two children, Lisa and Matthew LeMire, and two grandchildren Isabelle and Kaislee.
She relocated with her children to Idaho in the 1980’s where she met, and later married Zane Condie in 2013. Zane and Florence built a beautiful life that was focused on each other, family, friends (of which there are many), love and honesty.
Following in her father’s footsteps, Flo was a dedicated Detroit Lions fan. As a lover of nature she never passed up an opportunity to go camping, fishing, hunting or on a trip back to Michigan to see her family. She effortlessly made friends, family and complete strangers fall in love with her beautiful smile and her enormous heart. She became a second mother to many of the kids in Gooding, ID in the 90’s. In keeping with that sentiment, Flo decided to go back to school and become a certified drug and alcohol counselor so she could help steer people in the right direction. She expanded her work as a counselor, working in behavioral health and crisis intervention. Flo touched so many lives and brought so much light to this world that even now, after she’s gone, that light remains a beacon of hope and love.
Florence is survived by her husband, Zane Condie, brother Tom (Karen) Ritter, sister Shelly Heack, stepmother Barbara Ritter, daughter Lisa LeMire, son Matt (Hannah) LeMire, numerous nieces and nephews along with their granddaughters.
A celebration of life will take place at a later time.

File Income Tax Returns
Starting January 27th
The Idaho State Tax Commission and the Internal Revenue Service start processing 2024 individual income tax returns on Monday, January 27. Idaho expects to process over 1.03 million income tax returns in 2025.
New this year, Idaho is participating in the IRS Direct File program, which will launch on January 27. An estimated 210,000 Idaho taxpayers will be eligible to use the free program.
With Direct File, taxpayers begin by filing their federal return on the IRS tool at directfile.irs.gov. The tool walks them through interview-style questions to prepare the return.
Once the federal return is completed, the taxpayer will click a button taking them directly to Idaho's FileYourStateTaxes tool to prepare their Idaho state return. Much of the information from the federal return will be populated into the state tool, creating a quick, seamless experience.
Direct File is another option taxpayers have to e-file their federal and state taxes based on their eligibility and tax situations. To use Direct File, taxpayers must have lived in Idaho for all of 2024, and they must use the standard deduction. They can't itemize, but they can take some credits and deductions. See directfile.irs.gov for more requirements. (Click on Check eligibility now, then select Idaho.)
Taxpayers can also see if they qualify for the Free File program that features offers from tax software developers. Most people qualify if their adjusted gross income is $84,000 or less.
