Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation Awards $40,000 to Lincoln County Youth Commission
On Friday, November 5th, Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health awarded $40,000 to the Lincoln County Youth Commission to increase services and make improvements at the youth center in Richfield. The Lincoln County Youth Center is a 7,500-square-foot building that currently houses low-cost preschool and free after-school programming. Future plans include full-service child care. "We're excited to support the Lincoln County Youth Commission," said Kendra Witt-Doyle, Executive Director of the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health. "These programs and services will be transformational for families and children in Lincoln County." Lincoln County, located in rural South-Central Idaho, has a high poverty rate, and nearly 80 percent of residents work outside county lines. "The long commutes, long hours and economic hardship put children at risk," said Karma Metzler Fitzgerald, chairman of the Lincoln County Youth Commission. "Our goal is to provide a safe and sustainable community center for Lincoln County children to learn, grow and find the resources to achieve their dreams," Fitzgerald said. The Lincoln County Youth Center is funded through a 21st Century Learning Center grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The center's after-school A young man explains his project programming includes experiential exposure to agriculture/STEM, theater and music, lifetime sports and for the cardboard challenge. humanities. Children visit the center 4-6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and all day Friday. The center also provides free transportation for Lincoln County students who attend the College of Southern Idaho in nearby Twin Falls. The Lincoln County Youth Commission is thankful for the support from the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health and other organizations. "It's collaborations like this that allow us to provide a healthy, sustainable source of community-based learning and support to meet the needs of our children and their families," Fitzgerald said.

Election Results
This year's general election generated a lot attention nationwide, however, several local contests brought changes to our communities with change to city governments, and Revenue Bond that passed in Shoshone. Typically, bonds require a twothirds majority to pass, but because the cost of this bond will be paid with revenue from the project rather than from taxes, only "50% + 1" of the votes were needed to pass. Here are the unofficial results... Lincoln County: Shoshone Revenue Bond: Yes 96 - No 76 (passed) Richfield School Trustee Zone 4: Hope Hughes 29, Acee Lucero 23 Richfield Fire District Zone 1: Mark Whitesell 87, Ashley Lezmmiz 71, Josi Loughmiller 20 Richfield Fire District Zone 3: Jason Braubuger 84, Tommy Standee 53, LuAnn Swainston 39 Joint S.D. #331 Supp. Levy: Yes 7 - No 2 (passed) Gooding County: Gooding Mayor: Diane Houser 256, Jeff Brekke 168 Gooding City Council: Jerry Pierce 313, Lai Lonnie Rogers 200 Chuck Cram 176, Aubrey Cheney 79 Wendell Mayor Rebecca Bunn Vipperman 109, Brad Christopherson 84 Hagerman School Trustee Zone 1: Dagny Bogaard 43, Monte Osborne 42 Buhl School Trustee Zone 2: Les Harper 32, Melissa J.

Police Officer Sjuni
My dad is a police officer. He has been doing it for many years now. What my dad likes most about being a police officer is "Being able to help people", which I thought was nice. Did you know that horses can be police animals too? The crime that my dad attends is mostly drug related. The reasons my dad pulls people over is that they text and drive, speeding, and drinking while driving. I feel good when my dad gets home, but when he leaves for work I miss him. I worry about him too. I love him and I hope he is safe every day. He likes his job and that's what I want to hear from him. When my dad gets home from work I give him a big hug because I love him and am proud of what he does by keeping us safe. By Peyten Bunderson The Gooding police department will again be conducting its “No Shave November” fundraiser. Last year, in tough times, we were able to raise $625.00 and with a match from the Modern Woodmen, we doubled that amount to $1,250. We have a commitment to match our donations again up to $2,500. Typically, we raise just over $1,000, and hope to do so this year to have the best year yet. Donations may be dropped off or sent to the Gooding Police Department or the Gooding City Hall, 308 5th Ave West, Gooding, Idaho 83330. These funds are used to give gifts to our local families here in Gooding, and may also be used to provide assistance during this time of year that should be full of happiness but, in many cases, results in depression for those who may be less fortunate or for a multitude of other reasons. Please enjoy the holidays and make it a better time for someone you care about or even those you may not even know.

2022 Reservations Open for Idaho State Parks
All Shapes & Sizes Grooming
The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) would like to remind visitors that the nine-month reservation window is now open for the 2022 season. The window is always available for stays beginning up to nine months from the current date. For example, on November 8, 2021, guests can reserve stays beginning on August 8, 2022 or earlier. “We’ve had a lot of people ask when we are going to open the reservation window. The short answer is that the window is always open. Guests can reserve stays into August 2022 now,” explained Seth Hobbs, Registration and Reservations Program Manager. In 2020, IDPR transitioned to a new reservation system, causing a temporary shutdown in reservations. Once the system was back online, the reservation window reopened in December. The department does not predict the need to shut down reservations again for the foreseeable future. Sites are filling up fast. Reserve yours today at idahostateparks.reserveamerica.com

Brad Astle
Brad Astle, 60, of Hagerman passed away after battling cancer on October 22, 2021. He was surrounded by his family. Brad was born in Spanish Fork, Utah, and raised on the family farm in Dietrich, Idaho. Brad loved sports, especially football, attending Shoshone High School so he could play. While there, he met his first wife, Barbara Berriochoa and had three children. He was an involved parent in all their activities. Soon after being married, he began working in the cattle industry. He became very skilled and good at what he did, raising cattle in Dietrich, Eden and Jerome. Brad loved the outdoors, being in the mountains, bird watching, riding four-wheelers, playing card games, and taking pictures. He eventually bought a cabin and could be found there most weekends. Fall was his favorite season with the changing leaves, cooler weather, and football! He loved Nebraska Cornhuskers and Pittsburg Steelers. Brad really enjoyed the holidays, especially Christmas. He spent numerous hours each year designing his own holiday light displays and cooking large meals for family. Brad eventually bought a home in Hagerman. He lived there with his lovely girlfriend, Alicia Sanchez, who helped care and love him until his passing. Brad is survived by his children: Brock (Danielle) Astle, Kyli (Eli) Gough, and Taylor (Joe) Cottonoir; his grandchildren - Hatcher, Hayes and Brecken; his mother - Gerry Astle; and siblings - Debra (Kelly) White, Brenda (Matt) Bunn, Doug (Janice) Astle, Rick Astle, Sherrie (Ben) Coon, and Jed (Leslie) Astle; and many of those he called family. Brad is preceded in death by: his brother – Jeff; and father - Sem. Everyone that knew Brad will miss his honesty, sarcasm, handy nature, and kind and giving heart. A celebration of life will be held November 12, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at the Basque Center in Gooding, Idaho. Cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Share condolences, memories and photos at www.demarayfuneralservice.com

LaVor R. Jackson
obit ua r ies
LaVor R. Jackson, 87, of Hagerman, died October 27, 2021 at his home of natural causes. He was born Feb. 17, 1934, in Ogden, Utah, son of Ray LaVern Jackson and Fern Chadwick. He married Dorothy Mary Hasebrink on May 18, 1956, in Kanesville, Utah who preceded him in death on January 8, 1995. LaVor is also preceded in death by Rita Sligar, whom he married on July 22, 1996. LaVor was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, greatgrandfather and friend. LaVor enjoyed helping his children, vegetable gardening and watching bull riding and rodeos. The family moved to Hagerman from Roy, Utah, in March of 1980. He was a true cowboy and a lifelong dairy farmer. He came from multiple generations of dairy farmers and had a passion for the animals on the farm. When he was young, he enjoyed chariot racing and bull riding in the rodeo. If you're a big football fan, imagine loving the game ten times more than you do and that's how much LaVor loved watching rodeos. On TV or in person, he was a huge fan of local and national rodeos. LaVor was the family prankster; scaring, surprising us and joking around. Most of the children spent years recovering from all of his pranks. Firecrackers in the barn was his handiwork. After Dorothy's passing, LaVor became the center of the family by keeping family traditions alive. He baked and most importantly made all the Christmas candy to share with family and friends. The cookies and candy were excellent, but his English Toffee was unrivaled. One of our favorites was his Jell-O Salad he brought to various events. Everyone loved it and the bowl always came home empty! He was old school but in the best ways; hardworking, neatly shaven, well dressed and family centered. He was accepting of people in all walks of life, gender and race. He was also open minded to new ideas even if he didn't quite understand them. LaVor was genuine to everyone in their own specific way. He took the time to know his grandchildren and expressing love for them in many special ways. He is survived by his children, Kent (Jolene) Jackson of Layton, Utah, Brent (Rochele) Jackson of Clearfield, Utah, Craig Jackson, Anna Marie (Sam) Briggs of Hagerman, Idaho, Shanna Jackson of Ogden, Utah, Scott Jackson (Shane Mills) of Lima, Montana, Shayne (Vonia) Jackson of Twin Falls, Idaho, Tom (Phyllis) Vudhivadhana of Ogden, Utah, Gera (Rosario) Vudhiwat of Bedford, Texas; 24 Grandchildren; 49 Great-Grandchildren; two sisters, LaVern (Bob) Larkin of West Richland, Washington, Elaine (Tom) Udink of Plain City, Utah and all of his very good friends. In addition to Dorothy and Rita, he was preceded in death by one daughter, Patricia Ann Jackson. A celebration of his life was held at Saturday, October 30, 2021, at Demaray Funeral Service Gooding Chapel. Interment was held November 2, 2021 at the Memorial Gardens of Wasatch, Ogden, Utah. Funeral services were under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Condolences, memories and photos can be shared with the family by following the obituary link at www.demarayfuneralservice.com
