Cup of Tee

Last week found me looking into a 1879 cookbook comparing pointers on cooking turkey. One of the mentions in the book was to cover the turkey with writing paper to keep it from becoming hard and dry. I did some looking to see why writing paper - there were no real answers. I am guessing they didn't have the Gooding Concerts internet in Virginia in 1879. I can understand The Gooding Elementary School will present their Christmas that because the hill in Virginia are rolling hills Concerts on December 12th and 13th at the GES Gymnasium. with dense trees. Not many people had roof 1st Grade @ 1 p.m. - 2nd Grade @ 2:30 p.m. & 5th Grade @ mount receivers either. 6:00 p.m. The writing paper used in the recipe may have been written instructions for the cooking of the turkey. Then again, it may of been a last will and testament of the turkey being cooked. Such a testament may have said something like, "Sticking one's neck out too far could get you 5 p.m. Caroling and a visit from Santa at the in hot water... folded wings won't allow you to Gooding County Courthouse. 6 p.m. Tree Lighting at the Gooding County Fairgrounds. fly... too much heat in the kitchen could leave one cold... when spending the night at a guest 6:30 p.m. Holiday Light Parade—Mainstreet house, be sure of their next day motives... talk Entries for the Light Parade are still being accepted. ing turkey doesn't make you one of the singing Please contact the Chamber at 208-308-4763 for trio - the Coldcut Club..." more information.

recommend the parchment to cook with it. It's a good way to release more chemicals into your turkey. And to cover your paper turkey with writing paper, I don't see that one at all. I probably won't leave a Houdini note on my turkey explaining how to escape and turn into a pickle. I looked again through that old cookbook to see if it had any recipes for mashed potatoes. I was curious if they had a message about putting writing paper on the potatoes to make them perfect. There wasn't any such page to be found or at least I see one. I just about goofed on the mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving day. Yeah, I know that is a pretty bad sin. At my house, the mashed potatoes and gravy are usually the last two items to be ready together to get that dinner bell to ring "It's Ready!" In the haste to get the potatoes cooked and ready for their appointed time, I almost cooked them too long. They were almost potato soup. The potatoes were mashed and a little thin in texture, whereas the gravy was a little thick. Not the perfect match. Close call, minutes away. This is my “Cup of Tee” with a writing paper cover.

LaVaughn Stephen Helsley

LaVaughn Stephen Helsley, 50, a recent resident of Mullan, Idaho and formerly of Shoshone, Idaho, passed away on Monday, November 22, 2021 at his home in Mullan. Vaughn was born May 8,1971 in Gooding Idaho to Bruce LaVaughn Helsley and Beth (Healy) Dusel. On July 25,1975 Bruce and Janice joined families which gave him three sisters and soon a younger brother to keep life on the farm always interesting; full of hard work but there was always time for riding horses, swimming in the ditch or water skiing along the canal. In school, he enjoyed football, rodeo, FFA, and the social part of life; graduating from Shoshone High School in 1990. On June 16, 1998, his daughter, Bailey, was born. She became the light of his days and never was there a better surprise. He married Angela Martinez in August of 2000 and became a stepfather and grandfather. He later divorced but truly loved the relationships he built. Vaughn enjoyed jobs that took hard work and grit. Starting his adult life, he worked construction for Steve McClure then headed to Hawaii for a few months drilling wells. Then moved to Ironside Oregon to cowboy for the Wilcox family. Over the years, he drove truck, drilled and mined. He enjoyed truck driving for Pat Pierson, Kelley Enterprises, A & L Trucking, and Crespo Trucking. He worked in the drilling field in Nevada, Washington, and Alaska and mined at Big Timber Montana and Lucky Friday Mine in Mullan. Vaughn is survived by: his daughter - Bailey (Mike) Hoskins and their children; Harper, Colt, and Opal, and Heather Fitz, Ashley Martinez, Liz Jordan; his parents - Bruce (Janice) Helsley; sisters - Nancy (Ed) Elder, Linda (Colin) Belnap, Kelly (Tim) Chapman, Amanda Dusel; brothers - Gary (Mandy) Helsley, Brian Dusel; two grandmothers - Norma Rapp and Donna Montgomery. He was preceded in death by: his mother - Beth Dusel; stepfather - Lynard Dusel; grandfather - Roy Rapp; and grandparents - Martin and Charlotte Jauregui. Vaughn was a character. He was a Big Sky Country, roping, riding, fighting, fishing, truck driving, hardworking, dog loving, stereotype. He could tell stories that would make you laugh til you cried. The whole time he would swear it was the truth, even though he may have been exaggerating. A visitation for family and friends will be held on Friday, December 3, 2021from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at Demaray Funeral Service – Shoshone Chapel. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, December 4, 2021 at 11:00 am at Demaray Funeral Service – Shoshone Chapel. Services will conclude at the chapel.

Donald Taylor

Donald Taylor was born on June 15, 1937 in a three room log home with no electricity in McClure, Virginia to Bessie Mae Sexton and Joseph Taylor. Donald was one of thirteen siblings, including his twin brother Arnold. He attended school at the deaf and blind school in Staunton, VA. Don and Arnold were inseparable and shared that special twin bond their entire lives. They loved to argue and cuss at each other. They got into a lot of mischief in their 83 years together. The two of them together were a redneck comedy show, always entertaining the group. If you met Don, imagine the two together. A piece of Donald went with Arnold when he passed away in April of 2021. They are now back together causing trouble. The twins left Virginia together when they were only 19 and hitchhiked to Idaho for work. He talked mostly of his job in the coal mines and farming. Donald met his wife Marilyn Bennett Paris in 1965 in Blackfoot, Idaho and the two married quick. He loved and raised her three children as his own. Don had a daughter Linda from a previous relationship also. They lived in the Blackfoot area until the late 70's and then the family moved to Bliss, Idaho for a farming job for Don. They finally settled on a farm north of Gooding for many years, where they loved to have their family and friends visit and created many memories. Although if you visited the farm you were probably sent to milk a goat, collect chicken eggs, or gather vegetables from the garden. Don loved his grandchildren more than anything and loved to spoil them. He never told them no, until his later years when he was a little bit grouchier. He may not have had much, but whatever he had he would happily give them. He and Marilyn divorced after nearly 40 years together but remained good friends and talked almost daily until Marilyn passed away in 2016. Donald shared a special bond with his two grandchildren Joey and Rosey, whom he and Marilyn helped raise. Rosey poured her heart and soul into caring for Don and battling his health conditions for the past thirteen years. Donald was the true definition of stubborn and Rosey was usually the only one who could get him to listen. The bond between the two will forever be unbreakable.Don loved to fish and teach his grandkids to fish and expected them to gut it if they caught it. Many Fishing Trips with his in-laws, kids and grandkids were made during his life. They loved to drink Grandpa's favorite pepsi or mountain dew with peanuts in it as a special treat during the fishing trips. Donald loved music and loved to dance and sing and play the guitar, he couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, but he never listened to anyone's opinion and played his guitar for hours a day making up songs as he went anyway. Don has resided at the GraceHill Apartments since 2009 where he made many special friendships over the years. He might have thought he was the boss there most days. He picked up the game of pool while there and loved spending hours playing. He was ornery and loud until his very last day, but he truly had a heart of gold. If you had the chance to know him, you loved him. He loved to flirt with the younger ladies. If he didn't give you a hard time, he didn't like you. Donald is survived by his Granddaughter Roseanna (Rosey)(Gabriel) of Wendell and their children, Keegan, Kaleigh, Kyah, and his little sidekick Jaxon. His Grandson Joey (Leslie) of Twin Falls and their children Haylee and Jacob. He leaves behind his daughters Linda(Samba) of Blackfoot, Barbara(Eddie) Wendell, Lily (Robert) Twin Falls and his son Alvin( Marjorie) Eden. Grandchildren Mary(Jason), Virginia(Matt), Jennifer(Martin) Nicole (cody) Chrissy (Roy), Trey, Cierra, Bobbie, Lisa, China, Elijah, Robert, along with many more great grandchildren and Special nieces who he adored, JoJo, Jamie, Laura all of Blackfoot, and many special friends who helped look out for him as his health failed. The dash between the day Donald was born and the day he was called home was truly lived to the fullest with a lot of love and laughter along the way. Crazy Grandpa will be missed beyond measure and our hearts are broken here, but we are happy that he is free of pain and now fishing in the best ponds in heaven. Celebration of life will be held Sunday December 12, 2021 at 1 p.m. at the new Hummingbird Event Center, 125 7th Ave West in Gooding. We welcome all to come share a story, laugh, and a meal. Please visit Donald’s memorial webpage online at www.bowmanfuneral.com
