Music Parents Form Booster Group in Gooding
The Gooding Association of Music Parents (Gooding AMP) was created this year as a booster organization for the Gooding Music Program. The goal is to help provide more opportunities for music students in the Gooding community through fundraising and volunteer efforts. All funds raised by Gooding AMP will be used to purchase new music equipment and music, assist with travel expenses, give individual scholarships to music students, purchase and repair instruments, and much more! Gooding AMP is excited to see all the great things the new music instructor is doing for the Gooding Music Program. Mitchell Tilley came to Gooding in 2017 and since then he has restored many traditions -- one of the most exciting for the community is having the pep band (Red Thunder Band) back at our local games to display our Senator Pride loud and proud! He is also providing opportunities to the students that have not previously been available. Last May, Mr. Tilley took several music groups to Utah to compete in the Music in the Parks Festival. Every group had an award-winning performance and the Gooding Music Program walked away with five trophies. This year, choir groups will have the opportunity to attend VoicePlay: Live! Red Thunder Band students will attend the ISU Marching Festival, as well as marching band camp next June. As the Gooding Music Program continues to grow, they will need community support. Becoming a member of Gooding AMP is a great start, or you can become a sponsor and help provide the much needed funds to keep this program strong and healthy. You can also donate music equipment and other items to the program. To find out what they might need, contact the Gooding Music Program by sending a message to:

U.S. Highway 20 Closure This Week
Today and tomorrow (October 16th & 17th) the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is planning to close US-20 between mileposts 164 and 173 near Fairfield as crews pave the newly constructed Willow Creek and Rock Creek bridges. Closure is expected to begin at 11 a.m. and is anticipated to last approximately three hours each day. This is part of the Willow Creek Bridge and Rock Creek Bridge construction projects underway since April of this year. Crews replaced aging and corroded culverts with new bridge structures, which are expected to have a longer lifespan. It will also allow the streams in both locations to be restored to a more natural condition, which should have a positive effect on the surrounding ecosystem. “We are making every effort to minimize impacts to motorists in the region,” said ITD south-central Idaho Project Manager Brock Dillé. “With the unexpected drop in temperatures this past month, we have a very narrow window to complete work on these structures. Briefly closing the highway will allow us to work more efficiently, and hopefully prevent us from having to return to the area next year to complete the project.” ITD will place barricades and signage at area intersections to alert travelers. Flaggers will also be present to inform motorists and assist them with determining the best path of travel. Knife River is the general contractor for both projects.

Without robotic assistance, surgeons must often employ a bit of “artistic” finesse to make things fit. With the robot arm, the angle of every cut is exact, and the resulting surfaces are perfectly smooth. Robotic assistance improves the safety of joint replacement by using the computer screen to show the surgeon the exact location of the saw blade. In conventional knee replacement, there are blind areas that usually require the surgeon to dislocate the joint to complete a cut. This causes additional trauma to the joint and adds to recovery time. With robotic assistance, the surgeon can make cuts with minimal disturbance to tendons and ligaments. This system also turns off the saw if it gets to close to places it not supposed to be. The Orthopedic surgeons at North Canyon Medical Center (NCMC) have been wanting to bring this technology to Gooding for several years. While the Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology from Stryker is expensive, the improvement in results and recovery time is more than worth the cost. NCMC is currently the only hospital in the Magic Valley to offer this type of surgery.

Come join the discussion of Temple Grandin’s Animals In Translation. Temple has written multiple books about animal behavior, and is well known for her work in helping meat packing plants produce better meat products by treat their animal more humanly. Her struggle with autism caused her to gravitate towards animals, but it was only in the last few years that she started to see the similarity between autism and the way animal behave. The book is a fasination read for both those who are interested in helping children (and adults) with autism and those want to better understand their animals/pets.

Gooding Library District Now Official
October 1st was the official kickoff of Gooding Public Library becoming a library district. Voters approved the establishment of the district in May of 2018, but the change officially became legal earlier this month. The Gooding library also has new hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Tuesday and Thursday), and 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. (Saturday). The increased business hours will offer more opportunities for patrons to visit the library for programs, activities, and to check-out materials. They are looking forward to continuing and enhancing the services they provide to the community. To commemorate the new Gooding Public Library District, the Gooding Public Library Foundation commissioned a donation wall be built. Tom Woodland and Frank Kiska created a beautiful wooden bookshelf featuring sculpted metal artwork. When donations are made to the library, the name of the business, family, or individual will be placed on a wooden “book” that will be placed on the shelf. Community members wishing to contribute to the library or looking for more information may contact the library at 208-934-4089, or better yet, stop by the Gooding Public Library at 306 5th Avenue West (next to the City Office).

Carmen Garmendia Cook
101 Years Young, Carmen Garmendia Cook, of Boise, passed away on September 27, 2019. Carmen was born in Boise, Idaho, on November 21, 1917 to Bonifacio and Juliana Garmendia. She was the second of three children and is preceded in death by her parents, her older brother, Joe Garmendia, and her younger sister Regina Dukas. Carmen attended Boise schools and graduated from Boise High in 1936. 1936 was a very eventful year for Carmen. That year she met Joe Cook; the love of her life, and she was asked to work for KIDO radio, an NBC affiliate. She stayed at KIDO for several years boasting it was the best job in the world. Joe and Carmen married in 1940 and lived a short time in Seattle before Joe was drafted into the Army Air Core. In 1945, after the service Carmen and Joe moved to Fairfield, Idaho, and purchased a small grocery store which they owned and operated as Cook’s Grocery for 25 years. Carmen and Joe loved Fairfield and lived on the Camas Prairie for 52 years in total before moving back to Boise. Carmen and Joe had two children; son, Michael and daughter, Janet. Their enthusiasm for Mike and Jan’s activities was infectious and they skied, skated, and entertained all sorts of activities and events for their kids. Both Carmen and Joe were very active in the community working with other business owners and friends to build a loving and nurturing environment to live in and enjoy. The expression, “It takes a Village” was the perfect description of Fairfield, and Carmen and Joe fit right in to that concept. Carmen stayed very involved in the community as a member of the American Legion Auxiliary, the Camas Club, the PTA, and for many years worked as a volunteer for the Red Cross. She and her wonderful group of friends enjoyed hosting parties, playing cards, fishing, and going to Jackpot for a little slot machine action now and then. In years of late, she was very disappointed that the machines no longer took coins or insured arm exercise. In 1998, Carmen and Joe moved back to Boise and lived on Logger’s creek. Carmen did some modeling, learned to use a computer; until her vision was compromised, and remained very interested in politics and world events. Mom was proud of her Basque heritage, and in recent years received wonderful accolades and honors from the Basque Center and Museum. In August of 2010, after 70 years of marriage, her loving Joe passed away. Losing Joe certainly changed her life, but not her zeal and zest for her own. Carmen had a wonderful life and wonderful friends. She was loved and admired by many and never took that for granted. She is survived by her son Michael of Denver, CO, daughter, Janet of Boise, ID, her grand-daughter Sarah, along with nieces, nephews, and their families. A celebration of her life will take place at 11:00 a.m. on October 19, 2019, at Summers Funeral Home (1205 W. Bannock Street in Boise). Mom’s request, “In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite charity.” A heartfelt thanks to mom’s wonderful caregivers over the years. You helped her enjoy her long and exceptional life.

Rodney Michael Pridmore
1-888-934-1862 • Wednesday, October 16, 2019 • The Courier NEWS
Rodney “Rod” Michael Pridmore, 68, of Fairfield, Idaho, died October 5, 2019 of injuries sustained in an accident, while flying his powered parachute. Rod was born May 4, 1951 in Gooding, Idaho to Harold and Margaret (Rutherford) Pridmore of Richfield, Idaho. He grew up on a dairy farm with his three sisters, as his dad’s right-hand-man and his sisters’ fun-loving antagonist, mischievous tease, and idea man. It was in those early years that he began a lifetime as a true grit cowboy, a man with more vision, determination, and common sense than most. He married his high school sweetheart and lifelong love, Sally Patterson, on August 28, 1969 and they moved to Boise to start their adventures together. They were blessed with four daughters and eventually settled in Camas County, where they spent many wonderful years together enjoying the beauty and blessings of living in God’s country and the journey of 50 years of marriage. Living a simple life as a cowboy in the Idaho Mountains allowed Rod to focus on loving and leading his family in a life centered in the truth of Christ, leaving a legacy of Christian faith for generations to come. Rod was a man of many talents and titles, at last count around 40 different jobs or businesses owned. He has been a farmer, rancher, dairyman, welder, pipe-fitter, garbage man, accountant, elected official (tax collector), government disaster relief employee, and a working cowboy to mention a few. His most recent venture was to purchase a herd of Scottish Highland cattle. For him, going back to his ranching roots and owning a piece of Camas Prairie was a dream come true. He was always a good and faithful provider, a trusted friend, and loving Papa to his grandkids. He also enjoyed the simple pleasures of life: a good chuckle, a hot cup of coffee with friends or family, and an afternoon nap. His love for flying began when he became a pilot in 1979. When age and health made renewing his pilot’s license difficult, he took up powered parachutes. Flying low and slow over the Camas Prairie gave him great pleasure. He shared several videos of his flights and poetry on his website www.commonsensecowboy.com. Rod was preceded in death by his son-in-law, Andy Frostenson, his parents, Harold and Margaret Pridmore, and his grandparents, C.M. and Priscilla Pridmore and Fred and Elnora Rutherford. He will be forever missed by: his wife – Sally; his daughters and their families – Bobi and Bria Frostenson; Darci, Todd, Hunter, Riley, and Graci Gill; Jessi, Steve, Parker, Tristan, and Dylan Webb; and Angie, Chris, Elijah, Gabe, Eden, Anna, Isaac, Mercy, Ava, and Daniel Pickering; and his sisters – Sheri and Rick Giesler, Kelly and Butch Edwards, and Lori and Toby Dayley. Funeral services were held on Saturday, October 12, 2019, at the Camas County High School Gymnasium in Fairfield, Idaho. A private family interment took place at the Manard Cemetery near Fairfield. Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.

© If a child hasn’t had a help in the process of washing clothes, they find many alarming situations once they are on their own. Too much soap and there is over-flowing suds. Not enough soap and there is still dirt. Mixing bleaches and detergents come out with tie-die dresses and pants. Wrong temperature and clothes are miniaturized. At the laundrymat the machine will eat your last dollar, sit there, and wait for more. Long ago our ancestors learned to do basic things to the clothes they wore. (The job of clothes was to protect skin and keep out the weather.) The act of washing clothes probably dates back 4500 years. The earliest washing machine was pond or stream with a collection of rocks and sticks to break away dirt. Human launderers relied on sand to break away stubborn stains. The first major laundry innovation, the washboard, came along in the mid 1800’s. Women no longer beat clothes against rocks in the river, but now could hunch over a large wash tub and rub their laundry against a heavy wooden scrub board. Not much progress in 4000 year. Another labor saving device, appearing a little after the washboard, was the wringer (so called in America) or the mangle (so called in Britain). It consisted of wooden rollers that were connected to cogs, a handle, and a frame. They allowed launderers to wring out excess water

and soap. Early soaps were bars of soap, where they had to be sliced into pieces before use. Proctor and Gamble researcher developed a powdered laundry soap in 1933 call Dreft. It was okay on light stains. In 1946 they developed a heavy duty laundry soap, and Tide became such a success that retailers had to limit quantities to keep from running out of stock. Mondays has been the traditional “wash-day” for centuries. It is believed that women began to do laundry on Monday because it was easier to accomplish the back breaking task while still rested from a day off on Sunday. On most occasions guests would come on Saturday or trading was done in town. Tuesday became the most common ironing day. Electric washing machines were mass produces in the United States in 1908. They really gained popularity after WWI. The Great Depression made it difficult to purchase washer for most families. In 1956, the Koret Company developed permanent press, but it didn’t catch on until 1964 when Levi Strauss used the material for Sta-Prest men’s pants. Wash and wear was then in. Once again, moms, we can’t thank you enough for all the labor you have put in through the years so we could have clean clothes. It’s been no picnic with strawberries. This is my “Cup of Tee” with a 1/2 cup of laundry soap.

The Future of Work in Idaho
1-888-934-1862 • Wednesday, October 16, 2019 • The Courier NEWS
by Governor Brad Little
Today’s students are tomorrow’s workforce, and they will have to adapt to change in their careers more than any other generation before them. In a word, they will have to be agile. Technological advances and the anticipated automation of more jobs down the road mean families, schools, and colleges must push students toward a lifetime of embracing technological changes, problem solving, and continual training. During lunch one day this week, I spoke to leaders in Idaho education and business at my summit on workforce development about how we can prepare today’s students for jobs of the future. Four hours later, I moderated a panel of four university presidents at Boise Startup Week on ways to create an environment where innovation and entrepreneurs can thrive. Two common themes emerged at both events: students need us to connect their education to the needs of employers, and employers need workers who have the capacity to grow and adapt to change. Families, parents, schools, and colleges must work together to introduce not just skills in critical thinking and how to collaborate in diverse groups, but life skills as well. Together, we must teach kids to make good choices, show up, be curious, be disciplined, and roll with the punches. Working together, we can point and incentivize students onto the right path. And we have a strong foundation on which to work. We are focusing our efforts on improving literacy, especially among the most challenged segments of our population, so they have a strong bedrock for future learning. We are getting our kids college- and career-ready. More and more, our education system is focusing on soft skills and total wellbeing – physical, mental, and social – while at the same time pairing students with job prospects and teaching them nuts-and-bolts skills they can use in jobs every day. The “talent pipeline” is already working, and there are numerous examples across the state in which business is proactively working with community colleges and universities to train students in programs that meet their specific industry needs. Business organizations are taking on a bigger role in shaping the discussion and priorities around education that leads to employment. State programs are bridging the gap between business and student by facilitating internships and apprenticeships because, after all, the best way to learn a job is by doing it. Additionally, there is a greater focus on STEM skills now than any other time in Idaho’s history. And the outstanding research taking place at our universities gives entrepreneurs and innovators an outlet to come up with new products, services, and ideas. In fact, the $20,000 winners at Boise Startup Week were the founders of self-cleaning toilet seat Washie, a product that originated from a grant awarded to Idaho State University from the Idaho Department of Commerce’s Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission program. It is the perfect example of the program having the desired effect. In America, we do not take our children at an early age and assign them a profession. The magic of American free enterprise is that we all have the freedom to choose and, yes, freedom to fail. I choose to join many partners in working together in Idaho to keep the momentum going in the direction of success. Families, business, educators, and government in Idaho are all committed to working toward the same thing: to prepare today’s young people to be happy, productive, and of course, agile, into the future. ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~

GhostMatic Adventures & Consequences
in the Paranormal
The darkest of human endeavors and our history often come back to haunt us. Questions of the past and the circumstances surrounding death may never be answered, but our young travelers and a device they possess, sheds light on a world that few have seen or experienced. GhostMatic is a short story (60 pages on Amazon Kindle) by Hjalmer Danielson, who grew up on a ranch just outside of Fairfield, Idaho, and currently lives in California. The story, set in northern California, recounts a ghost hunt at an abandoned farmhouse in northern California that involves exotic locations, fame, fortune and a demon that looks to exploit the efforts of the adventurers.
