BE OUTSIDE IDAHO
The Gooding Public Library was one of eleven organizations to receive funding for a “Be Outside Idaho” project. Their project is called “Learning in our Backyard.” Be Outside, Idaho is a grant program supported by IRTI alongside additional statewide partners. For years, Be Outside, Idaho has helped facilitate the growth and creation of outdoor education programs that connect children with nature in Idaho, from backyards to mountaintops. IRTI (Idaho Recreation and Tourism Initiative) is a partnership among state, federal, and non-profits that share resources to support collaborative projects in Idaho communities and schools statewide. This year, Be Outside Idaho was able to fully fund or partially fund eleven out of 26 total projects. The total funded amount this year was $13,000. The grant committee would like to encourage everyone to try again in the 2020-2021 grant cycle. For more information about IRTI and Be Outside Idaho, visit beoutsideidaho.gov

Digital Skills Training at Hagerman Public Library
Today, the American Library Association (ALA) announced that Hagerman Public Library is selected to participate in Libraries Lead with Digital Skills, an initiative of ALA and the Public Library Association (PLA), sponsored by Grow with Google, the tech company’s economic opportunity initiative. Hagerman Public Library will use the funding to initiate ongoing Digital Skills programs aimed at adult learners. “The classes will be free to the public. Initially we will focus on basic skills such as email and working with a computer. From there we will have lessons aimed at people seeking work, how to look online for jobs and write a resume. The third phase will be focused on small businesses who want to create an online presence including an info or sales website. The library will also collaborate with CSI through their TRIO or Educational Opportunity Center for adults who want assistance with advising and employable skills. We are planning to run classes Thursday evenings November through December. Our new library has been remodeling a classroom with the help of volunteers and a generous donation from the Carl Hayden Trust. We are ready to share our facilities with the public to help enrich their lives. Desktop and laptop computers are available for participants to use during class,” said Geri Omohundro, Director of Hagerman Library. “Libraries have long been America’s gathering place for learning. From learning new digital skills for the workplace, to creating a résumé or growing your business online, people are going to libraries as resources for professional growth now more than ever,” said Nicky Rigg, program manager for Digital Skills outreach at Google. “Grow with Google is excited to support library programs across the country to help ensure that economic opportunity exists for everyone.” This program is funded by Libraries Lead with Digital Skills, which was created so that local libraries can combine their own program offerings with Grow with Google training materials to offer community workshops or other activities aimed at empowering small businesses to grow online or assisting job seekers to prepare for and find work. The Grow with Google initiative draws on Google’s 20-year history of building products, platforms, and services that help people and businesses grow. Through this initiative, we aim to help everyone across America – those who make up the workforce of today and those who will drive the workforce of tomorrow – access the best of Google’s training and tools to grow their skills, careers, and businesses. Grow with Google has made a commitment to deliver free, in-person workshops for job seekers, small businesses, and library staff in all 50 states.

I am running as a write-in candidate for Fairfield City Council. As a vested property owner and home owner I care about the future of our City. I want our community to “thrive not just survive” by being active in planning for the future. As a member of the Camas Chamber of Commerce, a Board member of Southern Idaho Tourism, a former County Commissioner, and a business owner I understand there are multiple challenges unique to every situation. I am willing to do the homework, ask the difficult questions and make the decisions that the majority want and makes sense for our City.

Tony Palacio
Tony Palacio, 93, a longtime resident of Shoshone, Idaho, passed away on October 17, 2019, at his home while on his daily walk. He was born on September 7, 1926, in Charleston, Nevada, to Marcelino and Gregoria (Lopez) Palacio, the youngest of eight children. Tony was born at home, in a small cabin a short distance from the banks of the Big Bruneau River. His early education was in a one room school just walking distance from home. The greatest part of his education was from the “School of Hard Knocks”, which served him well through the years. At a very early age, Tony would do day work for the Prunty’s and the Shively’s when he was not needed at home. Tony and his three brothers purchased the home ranch from their folks and they worked together for a few years. In 1949 they sold the ranch in Charleston and each went their separate ways. Tony went to Clover Valley, Nevada, to work on a ranch for Dr. Valenta. In 1952 the ranch sold to an Easterner and it became the Longenecker Ranch and Tony became ranch manager. In 1955 Tony married Jean Camino from Lamoille, Nevada, and for the next five years they managed the ranch together. In 1960, Tony decided it was time to go on his own and they were able to purchase a small ranch in Shoshone, Idaho. As time went on, he was able to acquire more acreage and finally purchased his “dream place” in Fairfield, Idaho. Livestock were always Tony’s passion, especially cows. A real big “outing” for Tony was a drive to Fairfield and walk through his cows and calves as they grazed on the lush, green pasture. Tony is survived by his wife, Jean, of 64 years; his three children, Bill (Teena) of Gooding, Betty of Meridian, ID, and Tom (Shelley) also of Gooding; his four grandchildren, McKayla, Nathan, Brandon and Shawn; as well as many nieces and nephews throughout Idaho, Nevada and California. Tony is preceded in death by his parents and his seven brothers and sisters: Alex, Mary Bilboa, Elena Ruiz, Albert, Alice Corta, Frank and Julian. The family would like to thank Dr. Gies and Tony’s home health nurses, Mishell and Connie, for their great care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Gooding Basque Center, 285 Euskadi Lane, Gooding, ID 83330, or Huntsman Cancer Foundation, 500 Huntsman Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84108-1235 or to the charity of your choice. A celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 26, 2019 at the Gooding Basque Center (285 Euskadi Lane in Gooding). A private family inturment will take place later at the Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding. Funeral and cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Condolences, memories and photos may be shared with the family by following the obituary link at www.demarayfuneralservice.com.

Denise Clark Morrison
Denise Clark Morrison, age 61, passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones on October 15, 2019 in Tucson, Arizona. Denise was born July 11th, 1958 in Gooding, ID to Deloris Leavell Gormley and Keith Clark. She graduated from Gooding High School in 1976 and went on to cosmetology school and stayed in the profession for 40 years. Most of those years were spent working in her home salon. She developed many long lasting friendships from her clientele. As a young person, she developed a great love for the Lord. She enjoyed going to church on Sundays and she loved music. Denise had a beautiful singing voice and sang in the high school choir and in church. She also played the piano and harmonica. Denise loved to ski, her sports cars, and traveling to her Dad’s cabin at Soldier Creek, among many other things. One of the great highlights of Denise’s life was the adoption of her beloved son, Keith, with her first husband, Mike Byce. They flew to Honolulu at a moments notice to bring home a beautiful baby boy and Denise loved to share that story with her friends and family. Denise married Ty Morrison October 19, 2001, at her 100+ year old Boise home and they spent 18 years together. They traveled to Hawaii several times and the Cayman Islands, among other places. Their goats, chickens, cats, and dogs were very important to Denise and she spent much of her time with them. She was very passionate about the property she purchased and renovated with Ty in Boise, which is listed on the historical registry. Denise loved to host gatherings for her friends and family. Denise is survived by her husband, Ty Morrison; son Keith (Ann) Byce, grandsons Jaden and Asher; mother Deloris (Dave) Gormley, uncle Lonnie (Charmy) Leavell, uncle Ben (Suzanne) Leavell, sister Marlene (Howard) Shields, nephew Jerek Richardson, niece Tifini Stratton. She was preceded in death by her father Keith Clark, sister Christy Stratton, brother-in-law Kevin Stratton, mother-in-law Jan Morrison and father-in-law John Morrison. Denise was a very thoughtful, compassionate, and loving person with a heart of gold. She will be sorely missed, but we know she is in the arms of her Father in Heaven. A celebration of Denise’s life will be held at her home at 825 W. Victory Rd Boise, ID 83706 on November 9th from 12 to 4. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Denise’s name to your favorite charity.
