News Soldier Mountain to Open
A week ago, opening day for the ski resort north of Fairfield was still a mystery. Last Friday’s snow storm removed all uncertanty with nearly a foot and a half of new snow at the base and more on top. Opening day for Soldier Mountain’s 2016/17 season is this Friday, December 16th. The lodge will open at 8:00 a.m. and the the lifts will start running at 9:00 a.m. Lifts will shut down at 4:00 p.m. but the lodge continue to serve customers until about five or so. The mountain plans to be open everyday until January 1st. After that, they will be open Thursday thru Sunday. Day passes are $15 to $40, with $10 senior tickets for
those 70 and over. For the more adventurous skier, Cat Skiing will begin on New Year’s Eve. Online reservations begin this Thursday, December 15th.
USDA Rural Development State Director Wally Hedrick is excited to announce the ribbon cutting ceremony for North Canyon Medical Center Medical Plaza on Monday, December 19, 2016. The ceremony celebrates the completion of a 33,000 square foot expansion to NCMC, funded by USDA Rural Development direct loans totaling $21,720,000. USDA Rural Development provided low interest direct loans totaling $21,720,000 to Partners in Healthcare, Inc. to construct a 33,000 sq. ft. medical office building to provide staff and patients the full suite of medical services, including MRI, at one convenient location. The project also included, along with an owner cash injection of $2,425,000 and the issuance of Tax Exempt Bonds through the Idaho Health Facilities Authority of $15,000,000, the refinancing of the existing high interest
NCMC indebtedness with HUD. “In essence the hospital is able to expand services and become more efficient in delivering programs to their service area and still increase cash flow from lower debt service payments – with yearly savings on the debt service including interest payments approaching $200,000,” stated Liz Geiger, Community Facilities Specialist. Rural Development’s Community Facilities Programs offer Grants and Loans designed to develop or improve essential public services and facilities in communities across rural America. These programs help increase the competitiveness of rural communities in attracting and retaining businesses that provide employment and services for their residents. This event will highlight one of the many community projects Rural Development is proud to support in the state of Idaho.

Don’t Get Scammed for Christmas
We all know how to avoid scams in our email... or do we? The basic rule of email safety is, “if you don’t know the sender, don’t open it.” Sometimes, though, messages come to your computer that look like they come from someone you know. This past week Diana Rowe (Chief Deputy Assessor for Lincoln County) reported receiving several emails with “county” addresses - ***@lincolncounty. us. Fortunately, in a small office like the Lincoln County Courthouse, everyone knows each other and it is easy to tell real emails from the fake - walk across the hall and ask. But, it’s not always that simple. Every so often I get an email from someone I know saying they are “Stranded in Rio” (or some other exotic place) and they have lost their wallet/purse with all their identification and money. First, if they really are in Rio, I’m not that sorry for them. However, if they continued on page 6...

Stanton Crossing Bridge To Be Replaced
Bridge work in Blaine County continues with the reconstruction of a second structure over the Big Wood River. Replacement of the bridge along U.S. 20 in southwest Blaine County, also known as Stanton Crossing, began on Monday, December 12. The existing bridge, built in 1956, is considered structurally deficient and carries an average of 1,500 vehicles each day. The project will reconstruct and widen the bridge at milepost 176 (about two miles west of Timmerman Junction), reconstruct the adjacent roadway, and realign the highway access at the Stanton Crossing campground. With a short window to complete work before spring runoff begins to fill the Big Wood River in a few months, the first stage of construction to replace the bridge will quickly move into the river channel to begin installation of a center pier and abutments on the river’s edge. The first stage of construction will build the northern half of the bridge and is expected to be complete by midsummer 2017. Construction of the southern half will begin with work in the river channel starting in July. Final roadway paving and project completion is expected by the end of 2017. When complete, the new structure will be longer (274 feet long vs. 237 feet) and wider (43 feet wide vs. 32 feet) than the current bridge. It will also have wider shoulders and provide for additional river clearance and stabilize the river bank. Crews plan to close one access to the Stanton Crossing campground and improve the other existing access by reconstructing the approach, realigning the county roadway and campground loop. During construction, traffic will be limited to a single lane through the construction zone, with a 35-mph speed limit.

obit ua r ies Phillip White
Philip White, 63, of Gooding passed away Thursday, December 8, 2016 following a brief illness. Phil was born in 1953 to Frank and Audrey White in La Jolla, California the youngest of five children. The family relocated to Mountain Home, Idaho where Phil grew up and graduated. After high school Phil traveled extensively finding a second home in the Caribbean where he was a charter member of a sailing club. He returned to Idaho and went to work for the Idaho Transportation Department. Phil was highly respected in his work by coworkers, other agencies, and the contracting community. He quickly gained a reputation for playing practical jokes on his co-workers and family. It was also at ITD that he met his wife Lynn whom he married in 1987. They had two daughters who he was very proud to watch grow into adult women. The family moved to Gooding in 1999. Phil will always be remembered as a loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend to all who knew him. His loss is felt deeply by them. Phil is preceded in death by his father, Frank and brother Gene. He is survived by his wife, Lynn White (Gooding, ID), two daughters, Amelia (Moscow, ID) and Grace (Boise, ID), mother, Audrey (Phoenix, AZ), siblings Kathy Albert (Phoenix, AZ), Lorraine White (Phoenix, AZ) and Frank White (Henderson, TN.) A family service will be held in El Cajon, California on December 16, 2016 under the direction of Paris Frederick Mortuary.

Alen Eugene Patterson
Alan Eugene Patterson, age 84 of Gooding, Idaho went to be with the Lord December 5, 2016. Alan was born in Dietrich, Idaho July 30, 1932 to Harry and Ethel (Holloway) Patterson. He was raised in various places in and around the Gooding area. Alan grew up on a horse, which influenced everything he did the rest of his life. This included working for both the Camas, Gooding and Thorncreek cattle associations, and the Gooding Livestock Commission Company. He managed the Leo Rice Ranch at Tuttle and Fairfield from 1955 until it was sold in 1961. He did horse shoeing part time including the famous talking horse Mr. Ed when Ed was the specialty act at the Gooding County Fair. Alen began to rodeo at a very young age, starting with barebacks, then saddle broncs, later giving that up for calf roping and team roping. His rodeo career was interrupted at age 19 to serve three years in the US Marine Corp during the Korean War. After returning home to his rodeo lifestyle, he married Leona Weaver. This narrowed his focus to calf roping and team roping which lasted well into his 70’s. He helped form the Gooding Roping Club and was a member until it disbanded many years later. Early in their marriage, Alan and Leona had four children: Larry (Jayne) Patterson, Pendleton OR; Lori (Wayne) Bellamy, Gooding; Andy (Beckie) Patterson, Kuna; Amy Woolley, Meridian. More rodeo then later. Alan put his dreams on hold to do High School Rodeo with his kids serving as 5th District HS Rodeo President when 5th & 6th Districts were one district with over 230 competing. All four children grew up in the home arena and as Larry puts it, he had no choice but to come home from school, saddle his horse and rope. Besides his children, countless friends that shared Alan’s love of roping were welcomed to come and rope as well. Alan also worked at the Idaho State School for over 13 years, taking his roping dummy to work and giving lessons to his little captive audience. In 2007 he was inducted into the Idaho Legions of Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame at the Gooding County Fair. Alan and Leona sold and distributed livestock feed for the Moorman Manufacturing Company in the late 70’s and early 80’s. A highlight in his life, Alan foaled race horse colts for Judy and Donnie McFadden at Billingsley Creek Ranch, Hagerman, making several trips to LesBois Park in Boise to watch his babies run. Alan is survived by Leona, his wife of 61 years; his four chil-

Darlene married Duane Jacobson on April 23, 1952 in Idaho Falls. They had 4 sons and 3 daughters. She worked at the Lincoln Inn, Beacon Bean and with Reese Dixon.

The Courier News ~ 888-934-1862 ...Scammed for Christmas continued
need my help getting home, I going to be a little suspicious, especially if I saw them walking across the street this morning. A quick phone call can clear up many such questions. This time of year, many of us are ordering gifts on the internet, and often those packages come to you by UPS and/or FedEx. As you wait for your goodies to arrive, you may get an email from one of these shipping companies saying, “Your Fed Ex delivery has been compromised” or “UPS was unable to deliver your package.” The message then asks you to “please confirm attached invoice” or “log on and update your address.” DON’T DO IT! If you are concerned about a package, go directly to their website (don’t use any links in the email) and use the tracking number provided to you by the seller. Clicking on an email link can take you to an annoying web site trying to sell you something, or it can infect you computer with a virus. Don’t assume an email address is real unless you know it is real. I know it is against the trusting nature that many of us have, but it is okay to be suspicious when it comes to email. In fact, you need to be a lot suspicious, and don’t get scammed for Christmas.

For this week’s letter I have found myself waiting to catch a plane home in Tennessee. My friend, Jim and I were going to take his newly purchased motor home back to Tennessee for a visit. With our cold weather, the motor home had to be winterized. With that, some airplane tickets were investigated. We were able to get some at a good rate and Tennessee was still a go. Nice to know. In Denver our plane was delayed due to a flat tire and some engine work on the plane. We were finally able to board after some time on the tarmac. Once in the air, the only stewardess was serving the full meal course consisting of pretzels and soda. She had started in the front and was heading to the rear of the plane. The plane was exceptionally warm. The sun in the distance didn’t help much either. In fact, all the window shades were closed at each window. When the stewardess was at my position I asked her if she thought it was hot. All of us in the rear of the plane were cooking. She told me that they forgot to turn down the heat from trying to stay warm during the engine and tire repair. Nice to know. A few questions as the rental car center were answered and we were nearly on our way. Instead of driving in circles to get started, I asked for some general directions at the car rental place. It seemed that I fly all the way to Tennessee to get some directions and the gal giving me the jump start direction was from no other than Pocatello, Idaho. All that way and I’m getting local information from an Idaho lady. Good information, nice to know. Where I was in Tennessee, there were a lot of empty houses throughout the countryside. The families have since passed on or have moved on to work elsewhere. Even the tobacco industry for small farmers has gone by the wayside. It is always bad when small communities die because of the availability of work and other resources. It’s not always nice to see, or nice to know. My cousin toured me around the hills where my dad was from. He showed me a lot of places I had never been before. Locals sometimes do have that ability. A few families cemeteries were visited, filling in a few missing links. Updates on your relatives is always nice to know. As I am still in Tennessee, my friend calls me to tell me when he checked my refrigerated unit on my truck where I’m storing potatoes, the unit was off. I had told him to check my fuel earlier, but apparently he was late. While absent and visiting, I had my refrigerator going to protect some of my remaining potatoes. I was hoping to come back from Tennessee to finish my potatoes. At this writing my refrigerator wasn’t yet running. This week is my “Cup of Tee” with information not so nice to know. Tee Hurd
Thank A Landowner this Season Classified Ads by Jennifer Bruns, Regional Conservation Educator the Courier News ~ 888-934-1862
...but never Compromising the Truth.
As each outdoor recreation season comes to a close and our hunting, fishing and wildlife watching experiences become memories, it is time for us to remember the landowners who generously helped to make these experiences possible. Remember that access to private land is a privilege provided to us through the generosity of the landowner. The following are but a few ways to say thanks to those who allow us to access their property. Be thoughtful, considerate, personal and sincere in expressing your appreciation, always treating the landowner, as you would like to be treated. If you are mentoring a young hunter, include thanking the landowner as part of the process. • • • • •
• • •
Visit the landowner in person to express your appreciation. Offer them some of your harvest. Offer to assist with tasks around their property. Send a personal note to the landowner thanking them for the opportunity to access their land. As a token of your appreciation, you may wish to provide them with a small gift such as a gift certificate to a local restaurant/store, gift basket, a good book or a wildlife themed gift such as a bird house, bird feeder, or woodduck box (available from $5-$25 at the Fish and Game regional office , 3316 16th St. in Lewiston). Assist them in protecting their property through documenting and reporting suspicious activities to them. Offer to clean up and properly dispose of illegal dumping that has occurred on their property. Respect the property as if it is yours. Tread lightly and leave nothing behind.
Remember that access for wildlife related outdoor recreation is an Idaho tradition that will only continue if we all follow the basic principle of landowner relations. Treat the landowner as you would like to be treated and treat their land as you would like yours to be treated.
