Gooding Football’s Special Game
by Kailana Featherston
Gooding High Schools football team had their last home game against Buhl High School. The final score was 59-0. Wyatt Williams’ 5 passing touchdowns, 3 of which Bryson Comstock caught. A recently new freshman student from Gooding High School, Noah Spencer, was asked to be an honorary captain for the Gooding football team against Buhl. Noah is a 15 year old student with Down syndrome. He was given his own black and red number 31 jersey. He was able to walk out on the field and meet Buhl midfield for the coin toss. Noah did so well on the first play of the game, the Gooding high school football team came together and supported and encouraged Noah’s exciting moment. This Friday, October 30th, Gooding will host Weiser for the first round of the State Football Tournament. Game will kick off at 7:00 p.m. Also on Friday, Wendell will be at Melba, Hagerman will be at Valley, Dietrich will be at North Gem, and on Thursday Richfield will be at Clark County.

Arnaud Borda
Arnaud Borda, 87, a Gooding resident, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 19, 2015 at his home in Gooding with his grandson at his side. Arnaud was born on August 31, 1928 in Macaye, France, the son of Antonie and Helene Borda. In 1948, at the age of 19, Arnaud moved to the United States to pursue the American dream. He started as a sheep herder in the mountains of Wyoming, Utah and Montana. Later, he worked on several construction projects in Idaho and Utah. In 1959, he bought his first truck – a milk truck – which marked the beginning of his entrepreneurship in commodity brokering and trucking. His no-bull business tradition continues still today, stronger than ever after 56 years. He is survived by: two sons, John Borda and Jim Borda of Gooding; his grandchildren, Kurtis (D’Arlyn Johnson) Borda and Jenniece Borda; his siblings, Maite (Dominique) Irigoyen and Guillaume (Eulalie) Borda; his nieces, Marguerite Irigoyen and Amy (Ron) Allred; and dear friend, Carol Johnson. He was preceded in death by his parents, Antonie and Helene; and his siblings, Pierre Borda, Marianne Goujon, Marguerite Soule and Bertrand Borda. Mass of Christian Burial was held on Tuesday, October 27, 2015 at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church with Father Jose Ramirez officiating. Burial followed at the Shoshone Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made in Arnaud’s name to North Canyon Medical Center in Gooding, Idaho. Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service.

Debra Jean (Hall) Ashford
Debbie Ashford died at her home in Nampa, Idaho on October 13, 2015. Debbie was born November 18, 1971 in Pocatello, Idaho to Dennis Hall, of Gooding, Idaho and Linda Olsen Hall Christensen, of Preston, Idaho. Debbie was always very active in her life. She loved animals and her pets, from gerbils, hamsters and her dogs. She raised miniature schnauzers and it always broke her heart when she had to sell the puppies. Her best friend and companion was Jenny, her miniature schnauzer. Debbie was very active in sports and excelled in basketball, volleyball, track and swimming in both Gooding and Buhl. Debbie loved working on her Grandpa Olsen’s farm and especially milking cows. She would get up early on her own and ride her bike out to the dairy to milk. When she was old enough to get her driver’s license she began working on some of the larger dairies in the Magic Valley. She moved to Boise with her daughter, Jessica and worked various jobs from janitorial, waitressing, and as a cook for McDonald’s, Applebee’s and other restaurants while attending BSU, majoring in Biology. Debbie married Scott Ashford of Boise and they had 2 boys, Brandon and Scotty. They were later divorced. Debbie became ill and visually impaired and was disabled and unable to work. She married James Trendler of Nampa in July of 2012. He died July 10, 2015. Debbie is survived by her father, Dennis (Ann) Hall; her mother, Linda (Clare) Christensen; her children, Gregg Hollon, of Surprise, Arizona, Jessica Duffy, Brandon and Scotty Ashford, all of Boise, Idaho; her brother, Jason (Jennifer) Hall; and niece, Ashlee, all of Boise, Idaho. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Albert and Rena Hall, and Blaine and Mardelle Olsen, and her husband, James Trendler. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Tom and Karrin Archer, and Paul and Shelley Monterroso, and others who were her brothers and sisters in Christ in Nampa. They were always there to help her spiritually and with other needs she had because of her disabilities. A graveside service was held on Monday, October 26, 2015, at Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding, with Reverend Andy Morris officiating. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service - www.demarayfuneralservice.com.

Last Tuesday I got up thinking it was Monday. Who wants two Mondays in one week? By thinking it was Monday I wasn’t writing my letter for the week. Small situation noted once I realized I never had two Mondays. At any rate, I was outside and noticed the neighbor across from me. He was working in his yard. Knowing that the rain gives his joints fits, I hollered across the field, “Keith, I know today is a little wet, but have a blessful day whatever you do, even if it is inside.” He waved his cane at me and said, “Tee, this weather isn’t over today. My body tells me more rain tomorrow, but thanks for the good day wish.” I was in my yard doing miscellaneous. The garbage collectors had picked up at Keith’s. I heard him tell them to have a good day and thanks for their service. As I went into town I was looking over some thrift stores. I came across a book written about some of my friend’s grandad. They had lost their signed-by-author copy, so I bought this one to give to them. At least they wouldn’t be without one. I tried to present the book to them. They appreciated the thought, but were going to wait until their upcoming family reunion to quiz everyone to get back their borrowed original copy. Later in the afternoon someone gave me a book to add to my collection. Very good day to pay things forward I thought. While driving through Meridian, Idaho, I was having a good day. First of all, I was off from my daily job. That alone was good, but to pay it forward made it even greater. I looked in my rear view mirror to see a policeman coming up behind me with some speed. I thought something serious was wrong for someone. I pulled into a parking lot of a nearby store, and the officer followed me in. Another officer pulled in front of me in the parking lot. Did I accidentally run a red light? Did I not use the proper turn signals? The officer greeted me and told me my front license plate looked like it was going to fall off. The plate was firmly wired on and had been for six months. Then he asked me for my drivers license and proof of insurance. Both were good to go! The officer asked me if I was in the habit of not wearing a seatbelt or if I had forgotten somewhere. I told the office that by my personal choice I didn’t wear one. (I have been over the bank in a logging truck. If I had worn one, I wouldn’t be here to write you a weekly letter.) He gave me a ticket for not wearing the seatbelt (at eighteen you have the choice whether you wear a helmet for a motorcycle). Did the officer use the excuse of my license plate to pull me over for not wearing a seatbelt?! Was it the out-of-town plates? Whatever the reason for the miniature high speed episode, I paid my ticket forward. I didn’t give someone a seat belt ticket, but a lottery ticket instead. Paying forward ended my day with me paying for a ticket in a few days. This is my “Cup of Tee” tomorrow. Tee Hurd

It was a great was for the residents of Camas Prairie to welcome them into the community. We are so glad to have them here. Letter under the door ----Dear Editor, Did anybody catch the Solider Mt. Ski area story in last Friday’s Mt Express? Am I the only person who feels Claude’s negative remarks were unnecessary? While much of which he stated is true, we need cheerleaders not pessimists. This community will benefit from any additional jobs and economic growth provided by a viable and prosperous ski area. Lets all get behind it’s sale in a positive manner. Our Chamber, Elected officials and Forest Service could all provide letters of support and encouragement. Let prospective buyers know, “we want a prosperous ski area!” Claude, as self appointed Mayor of “Hinkleville” you of all people have the most to gain by its revitalization. Why did you shoot yourself in the foot? Jeff Kreyssig Charlie Luther was born with a cleft palette. Therefore, he suffered the ridicule of many thoughtless peo-
ple. He was a little odd. Charlie was an aerial engineer and crew chief during WW2. They put the planes together. He knew where every bolt and screw went into the plane. According to the pilot, Charlie went out on the wing, while in flight, and made emergency engine repairs on the malfunctioning remaining engine. The other one had been shot off. Charlie saved the life of everyone on board. They didn’t think him odd. They knew CHARLIE WAS A HERO.

...National Guard continued viable today. The average age of Idaho’s readiness centers is 44 years. Size, safety, energy efficiency, maintenance costs and location were some of the factors considered. The 54 states and territories submitted their results to the National Guard Bureau and the final report was submitted to Congress on December 19, 2014. The Idaho Army National Guard’s study determined that all but two of the existing readiness center sites — Mountain Home and Gowen Field in Boise — have insufficient acreage for expansion. That means 24 of the 26 sites do not suitably accommodate soldiers and unit equipment, and as a result are being considered for closure. The proposal would leave Idaho with nine readiness centers in the vicinities of Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Twin Falls, Post Falls, and the Lewiston-Moscow area, as well as four in southwestern Idaho’s Treasure Valley. Encroachment is another factor. Many of these facilities were built on remote tracts of land donated to the Guard by the city or county and away from town centers. But in many cases the communities have grown and now envelope the sites, limiting their ability to expand. Additionally, federal guidelines now include new mandates regarding storage, square footage per soldier, and distances between perimeters and structures – all requiring additional space. Current personnel and future recruits also are considerations, and the demographics have changed. Recruiting populations have shifted over the past 50 years to larger regional population centers. The plan attempts to establish sites within 50 miles of these population centers. In some cases the Guard’s study found readiness centers located in communities without a single local soldier being assigned there. South-central Idaho’s Magic Valley is considered the first to undergo consolidation because that region spans such a large area. Each transfer of property during the transitioning process for readiness center sites will be individually evaluated. The arrangement between the State and federal governments in funding readiness center sites requires the State to provide at least 25 percent of the cost and the land, while the federal government provides 75 percent of the total cost. That amounts to a community getting a $20 million facility for a State investment of $5 million. The Idaho National Guard now has facilities in St. Anthony, Rexburg, Idaho Falls, Blackfoot, Pocatello, Preston, Burley, Twin Falls, Gooding, Jerome, Hailey, Mountain Home, Nampa, Caldwell, Emmett, Payette, Grangeville, Orofino, Moscow, Lewiston, Post Falls, Bonners Ferry, Rigby, Driggs, Twin Falls, Wilder, and Boise.
