In 2017, Jason and Emily Pollard decided to return to their hometown of Burley and purchased the Farmer's Corner con venience store. They transformed it into small grocery store complete with fresh produce, a take-out deli and more. In 2019 they were offered a chance to buy the Sawtooth Market in Shoshone, but because they had just expanded their busi ness with a store in Oakley, the declined the offer.
Then, just a year ago, they had another opportunity to take over the Shoshone store. This time they were ready, not only for Shoshone, but to get out of the convenience stores and go all in with the grocery business. Jason even became a mem ber of the Board of Directors for Associated Food Stores, a company that supplies food to over 400 independent grocery store throughout the Intermountain West.
As member of AFS and the owner of the Farmhouse Grocery, Jason is committed to helping the local economy by supporting and marketing local artisans, growers, and producers who in turn hire more local workers and infuse money into the local economy. At the Farmhouse Gro cery you will see butter from High Desert Milk, milk & cream in glass bottles from Cloverleaf Creamery, Sun Valley Idaho Potatoes and other locally grown produce. They are also starting their own bakery department with fresh baked goods. And... what would a grocery store be without a top notch meat department.
Jason and Emily, along with their three children: Beckham, Lily & Layla, are excited to become part of the Shoshone community. It is a great place to be. Oscar Hernandez is the store manager, but you will see Jason there everyday making sure the Farmhouse Grocery is serving your needs.
Recently, my daughter shared her thoughts with me regarding Thanksgiving. Like many of our college students, she will not be home for at least three more weeks, but reading her insightful words makes a world of difference.
-- -- --
As a college student, I often find myself caught up in schoolwork and rarely having time to read books (a favorite pastime). Nevertheless, I managed to get my hands on a book here recently and have been reading it for enjoyment.
For curious minds, the book I have been reading is Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It is a heavy story about a man who tells of his spiteful nature (for light reading, you may want to pass on this recommendation).
In relating the book to my understanding of the world and my eagerness for the holiday season, I can note a few commonalities between Dostoevsky’s social commentaries and modern attitudes toward American holidays - in particular, Thanksgiving.
Dust off your running (walking) shoes and register today for this year's Thanksgiving Day 5K Run/Walk in Gooding. Race begins at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday Morning at North Valley Academy (906 Main Street). Medals and Prizes for the winners!
Registration is at 7:00 a.m. Forms are available at the Wild Mane salon (124 5th Street West) or online at www.eventbrite.com Entry Costs are: $25 (13+), $10 (6-12), and 5 & Under are Free.
If you have questions, contact Emily Graybeal 208-539-1235 or find them on Facebook at the Gooding Gobbler.
One specific theme that I have gotten out of the book, so far, is the idea of gratitude or the lack thereof. While I understand some of the controversy surrounding Thanksgiving, I think it is a shame that people can no longer be bothered to set aside one day out of the year to reflect on one’s blessings. So many are preoccupied with the issues of the world. Often to the point where the notion of being thankful is seen as an idealistic and naive practice.
On the contrary, it seems to me, true thankfulness comes in knowing the fullness of reality and its harshness by which people learn to be appreciative of the simple things in life. Not that I wish for anyone to endure tragedy, but it certainly helps one to understand the significance of gratitude.
In short, thankfulness is born out of realizing that life has the potential of being absolutely unbearable, and yet, I know I smile and laugh each day. How can I not be grateful?

The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is advancing three water quality improvement plans—known as total maximum daily loads (TMDLs)—designed to control pol lutants in the Beaver-Camas subbasin, Lower Clark Fork River, and Spokane River. These efforts will help ensure that the three water bodies meet Idaho’s water quality standards and support their beneficial uses, including aquatic life, recreation, and domestic water use.
The Beaver-Camas subbasin is one of the several “sinks drainages” in the Upper Snake River Basin, meaning all streams naturally flow subsurface into the Snake River Plan Aquifer rather than flowing into the Snake River. The Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout is a native species of concern in the subbasin.
In 2005, DEQ developed temperature and sediment TMDLs to address water quality criteria exceedances in eight different stream segments, including the...
© I guess I’m caught “talking turkey.” English is hard enough to understand without trying to incorporated some other language. Even Benjamin Franklin (one of our fore fathers), who had many inventions credited to his name, was blamed for talking turkey. He was believed to be quoted as saying, “the turkey should be our national bird.” The truth of the matter was he thought any bird, a turkey for example, would be a better choice than the eagle. He said the eagle was of bad moral character. It would sit in a tree and steal the pray caught by a fishing hawk because it was too lazy to hunt for itself.
The Navajo were probably the first native Americans to domesticate turkeys. It was losing battle to keep the wild turkeys from devouring their crops. Tables were turned on the turkeys when they were fenced, fed, and fattened. This provided more meat, and the feathers were used as ornamental decorations for the Navajo.
Big Bird, one of the beginning stars for Ses ame Street, has a costume made of real turkey feathers. The company, American Plume and Fancy Feather, selected white turkey feathers, dyed them yellow, and attached them to Big Birds costume. Turkey feathers are, in gen eral, too stiff for pillow stuffing and are usually turned into compost.
Turkeys can fly, but are very fast runners. Try to outrun one; you’ll come in second place. The “Turkey Trot” was a fast paced dance in the early 1900’s. The dance was four sideways hop ping steps on one foot, then four back on the other foot. The “Trot” was probably named for the procedure of trying to catch a turkey when one was needed as a meal.
Kings, knights, and knaves, didn’t dine on turkeys as shown in the movies. They dined on peacock or swan. The turkey, native to America, didn’t make it across the Atlantic until the mid 16th century.
To label something as a turkey (mean ing something that was inferior or a failure) dates back to the 1920’s. In vaudeville, an act that failed to sell tickets or one lame enough to be booed off the stage, was labeled a tur key (presumably due to the bird’s reputation for stupidity).
For the past 60 years, many home cooks have been under the impression that Butterball Tur keys are turkeys with butter injected into them.
The real truth is that the Butterball is a specific breed of turkey. They all have white feathers and extra broad breasts - oops, good marketing. Hopefully the gobble, gobble you hear will be the sound of turkey being eaten at Thanksgiv ing, Christmas, or any other meal.
This is my “Cup of Tee” talking turkey.

Mike Owsley, 68, of Hagerman, passed away in Twin Falls, Idaho following a sudden and unexpected illness.
Mike was born on June 29, 1954 in Jerome, Idaho, to Bud and Reva Owsley. Mike was the oldest sibling to his brothers and sister - Diane, Mark, Doyle and Wes.
Mike was born and raised in Hagerman and lived directly across the street from the elementary school. Anytime there was a game that involved a ball at the school and no matter who was playing, Mike would join them. That is where he developed his love of sports that continued throughout his life.
Mike's father Bud instilled a love of nature very early in Mike's life. His very favorite times were spent with family and friends in the mountains enjoying the outdoors. He enjoyed many hunting trips with his Dad and family and many fishing trips to Alaska with family and friends.
Mike graduated from Hagerman High School in 1972 and married Katie Choules on De cember 30, 1971. Mike and Katie would become parents to Jennifer Renae, Rachelle, Tami, Randy and Teresa. Mike and Katie recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a special trip to Oregon with their family. These memories will be cherished forever.
Mike worked for Idaho Power for 37 years primarily in the Hagerman area. Mike retired from Idaho Power in 2009 and spent his retirement years serving his church and community and also gardening. Mike was a hard worker with many talents who loved his family and was most recently named "Paka Mike" by his great grandson. Mike's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were the pride and joy of his life. Mike loved all children and children were drawn to him.
Mike was also an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints. Mike served in many capacities as a leader, but his favorite and recent calling was in the primary with the youngest members of the church. Mike made many friends in the primary and would talk often about the children he loved.
Mike leaves behind his wife - Katie Owsley, her mother - Kliss; daughter - Rachelle and her husband - Jack Ruffing; daughter - Tami and her husband - Val Parke Jr.; and daughter - Teresa and her husband - Paul Bellis. Mike was probably the saddest to leave his grandchildren - Alexis Snapp and her husband - Kelly Snapp, Randy Ruffing, Jessica Ruffing, Adri Ruffing, Katelyn Poulsen and her husband - Reece Poulsen, Sadie Wach and her husband - Mitchell Wach, Brook lyn Bellis, Christian Bellis, Ethan Bells, Hudson Bellis and London Bellis; and great grandchildren - Wade Jackson Snapp and Harper Lee Snapp. He also leaves behind one brother – Wes and his wife - Vicki Owsley; his aunt - Rosie Bingman; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Mike is preceded in death by: his parents - Bud and Reva Owsley; his brothers - Mark and Doyle Owsley; sister - Diane Owsley; and two children - Jennifer Renea and Randall Lea.

On August 12, 2022, DEQ submitted the Beaver-Camas Subbasin TMDL to the US Envi ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) outlining steps to manage temperature, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and sediment. EPA approved the plan in September 2022, which outlines the maximum pollutant levels for 16 water bodies to ensure the subbasin supports cold water aquatic life, sal monid spawning, recreation, and domestic water supply.
In its review, EPA determined that DEQ’s criteria will protect the most sensitive beneficial uses, as well as less sensitive beneficial uses, and protect water quality downstream and adjacent to the subbasin.
