Gooding Senators off to State Football
The Gooding Senators are headed to Pocatello this Saturday for the 3A State Football Championship game against the Emmett Huskies. The Senators are the definite underdogs in this game, but the Gooding team has garnered a great deal of respect from sports commentators this year. Quarterback, Wyatt Williams, has been a driv-
ing force in the success of the Gooding team. In last Saturday’s game against Homedale, he threw four touchdowns and ran in for a fifth. Gooding’s strong passing game will be in stark contrast to Emmett’s running game. Emmett’s Mason Farnsworth has run close to 1300 yards this year, and has contributed greatly to
a season that includes five games of 50 points or more (an average of 56.9 points per game in their last seven games). The Gooding Senators will have to put their defense in overdrive to contain the Huskies. The Championship game begins at 4:00 p.m. at the Holt Arena on the Idaho State University campus.

Marjorie Alice Brookshier
On October 9, 2015, Marjorie (Marge) Alice Brookshier passed away at home after a courageous battle with cancer. Marge was 91 years young. Marge was born Marjorie Alice Collins in Garland, Arkansas, a small farming town of 200 on the Red River, on May 15, 1924, to Charles W. and Thelma (Crank) Collins. In 1949, Marge graduated with a Masters In Dietetics from Texas State College for Women (now TWU) in Denton, Texas, completing a thesis on the efficacy of a newly evolving technology- freezing foods. That same year she married Ralph A. Brookshier of Healdton, Oklahoma. Due to Ralph’s career in heavy-construction estimating, they enjoyed living and making many friends in numerous locations across the U.S., including Houston, TX, San Francisco, CA, Cleveland, TN, Cleveland, OH, Charlotte, NC, and Seattle, WA. They retired to the family farm in Fairfield, ID and made their final home in James Place, an active, over-55 community, in Meridian, Idaho. Marge was an accomplished and adventurous southernstyle cook who enjoyed refinishing furniture, remodeling and sewing. While primarily a homemaker, busy raising her two children, Gary and Janice, Marge enjoyed work outside the home on several occasions as a representative for Owens Corning Fiberglass and for the introduction of Jello 1-2-3 to the marketplace, and as a regional representative for the National Rifle Association, which included trips to the Camp Perry National Matches. After Ralph passed away in 2006, Marge became a global traveler with her daughter,
Janice, touring the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, Central America, New Zealand and Australia. Most of all, Marge loved people, was a surrogate mother, mentoring young women and enjoyed teaching her cherished grandkids to cook. Her home was known as the social center of the community, wherever she lived. She was always ready to throw an impromptu dinner and her house was a revolving door for five o’clock drinks. She did like her bourbon! In 2005, Marge renewed her commitment to Jesus and was baptized at the Ten Mile Christian Church which started her on a faith walk that carried her through her battles with cancer with courage and an unfailing sense of humor. When it was time to go though, she knew where she was going and couldn’t leave fast enough - and told the nurses so! Marge is survived by her brother, Charles (and Janet) Collins of Greenwood, SC; daughter, Janice Brookshier of Seattle, WA; son, Gary (and Judy) Brookshier of Eagle, ID; grandchildren, Monte Brookshier (and Shauna), Robin Rissell (and Matt) and six great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank the wonderful folks at St. Luke’s MSTI clinic and Hospice, her loving caregivers Ophelia, Toni and Susie and her steadfast friends at James Place, who surrounded her with love and attention. Marge will be cremated and interred with husband Ralph at the Idaho State Veteran’s Cemetery. A service will be conducted at the veteran’s cemetery in the spring of 2016 followed by a vibrant life celebration party (which Mom would love to host) at the James Place Clubhouse in Meridian. The family is not expecting flowers, yet memorial contributions, if desired, can be made to the American Cancer Society.
John Ralph Hoobery, 83, of Twin Falls and formerly of Gooding, Idaho and Santa Maria, California, left us peacefully on Saturday November 7, 2015, of natural causes. He was born February 3, 1932, in Arroll, Mis-
souri, the son of Earl Oliver Hoobery and Anna Margaret House. His family settled in Gooding, Idaho, where John attended local schools and met his beloved future wife, Alta Casey Porter. They were married April 16, 1949, and moved to Santa Maria, California, where they raised three wonderful children; Judy Ann, James Casey and Patricia Marie. John spent most of his working years with Douglas Conoco. He enjoyed playing golf at the Santa Maria Country Club and was an active member of the Santa Maria Roping and Riding Club and the B.P.O.E. Elks Lodge #1538. John was civic minded and generous and would do anything to improve the quality of living in his

If any of you missed me to get onions or potatoes last week, I apologize. If you were able to find me, thank you. I started out in Weiser, Idaho, getting some onion, and onions I did have. As I neared Emmett, Idaho, I discovered a cap coming loose on one of the truck’s tires. Not only does the port of entry or any scale frown on the tire situation, but I feel it is unsafe. Once I had the tire situation taken care of, I was on the road again. But sorry to say, I was about three hours behind schedule. The first stop of Fairfield, Idaho, was about three hours late. My refrigerated trailer is generic, with no name, so you may not have seen it around town. While in Fairfield I was suppose to be in Hamer, Idaho (near Dubois) to load up some potatoes. As you can see, I missed my loading time in Hamer. My potatoes were bought fresh from the field and I had to sack them myself. My original plan was to load and I would have the whole evening to sack potatoes, so I would be on schedule in Fairfield the next day. Not being able to load until the following day (Friday) it again caused me to be about three hours late. Once again, I apologize to all of you in Fairfield we were unable to hook up with me on a scheduled time. My next destination was to be in Meridian, Idaho, to deliver potatoes at the same time I arrived in Fairfield. A phone call to Meridian put me on schedule for Monday. The same went for the late night scheduling in New Phymouth, Idaho. How could a tire issue put me on such a roller coaster being consistently the same amount late at every stop? I am truly thankful that the time stopped to redo the tire was probably to my best benefit, as well as the safety of others. I was also behind the rains. Listening to noisy windshield wipers for three hundred miles was not on my plan list either. Remember the little three minute hour glass with the sand in it? Did you every play a board game and had to do certain things in that allotted amount of sand (equaling time)? You would always say, “I didn’t get the task done because I was out of time.” or you would really hurry watching the sand in the hour glass and mess things up more. No matter how we plan things, they may not go as we have planned. I always like to keep plan C dusted off because you may have already use plan B executing plan A. They tell me the best laid plans are always under constant change. But, whatever the situation, if we do the best we can, we are still on schedule. In our little hour glass, if we can live in the present, learn from the past, and still plan for the future, we’re on course. This is my “Cup of Tee” minus three (hours).
