USDA Launches Webpage to Address Opioid Crisis
Assistant to the Secretary for Rural Development Anne Hazlett today unveiled a new webpage featuring resources to help rural communities respond to the opioid crisis. “While no corner of the country has gone untouched by the opioid crisis, small towns and rural places have been particularly hard hit,” Hazlett said. “The challenge of opioid misuse is an issue of rural prosperity and will take all hands on deck to address. The webpage we are launching today will help rural leaders build a response that is tailored to meet the needs of their community.” “Idaho, like the rest of America, has felt the effect of this epidemic on our small towns,” said Layne Bangerter, State Director for Rural Development Idaho. “Opioid misuse has negatively impacted the health of our rural residents, has put a significant strain on families, and has hindered prosperity within our communities. We will continue to collaborate with state and local government leaders and key partners to attack this problem throughout Idaho.” The National Center for Health Statistics estimates that more than 63,000 Americans died from drug overdoses in 2016. More than half of those deaths involved opioids, continued on page 3...

Helping Hearts & Hands Receives Grants From Idaho Community Foundation
The board and all volunteer staff of Helping Hearts & Hands, Inc. of Gooding is excited to acknowledge two grants that were awarded to us by the Idaho Community Foundation. The ICF is Idaho’s only statewide public foundation administering funds on behalf of a variety of donors to support Idaho charitable organizations. One grant comes from the Gladys E. Langroise Advised Fund. The second grant comes from the Kissler Family Foundation Philanthropic Gift Fund. Both grants come through the Unrestricted Southwestern Region Fund in the Idaho Community Foundation. Both grants are being used to increase the amount of protein and fruit products given in our Food For Kids bags. Each week, HH&H volunteers take bags of food to the schools in Gooding to be given out to food insecure children identified by the school. Each weekend bag contains three days of meals plus snacks. The food must be kid friendly in order for the child to fix it himself in case a parent is not available. During the summer, we give out a weekly bag to children in Gooding, Wendell and Bliss containing three days of meals. The family comes into our HH&H office to receive the bag. We thank the Idaho Community Foundation for its continued support of our programs! Their generosity allows us to improve and to continue our programs!

Bobby Leon Rogers
Bobby Leon Rogers, just three days short of age 91, passed away peacefully on Sunday morning, February 18, 2018, at North Canyon Medical Center in Gooding, Idaho, surrounded by his family. He was born on February 21, 1927 in Ignacio, Colorado to Adolphus an Eva Belle (Hunt) Rogers. When Bobby was two years old, his family moved to Idaho where his father farmed. Growing up on a farm, Bobby learned the value of hard work starting at a very young age and acquired a great love for horses. When Bob was twelve years of age, his mother passed away leaving his father with ten small children (three girls and seven boys). Later, Bob graduated from Richfield High School in 1945. During high school, he lettered in baseball, basketball, football and boxing. He excelled in boxing! He shared his love of the sport by coaching his sons and many others in the community. Following graduation, Bob joined the US Navy where he became a medic and was eventually assigned to the Corona Naval Hospital at the end of WWII. While he was stationed in Corona, he worked on the paraplegic ward and was assigned to assist the paraplegic basketball team that competed all over the western United States. Upon returning from military service, he met up again with his high school sweetheart, Vona B. Dodge, and they were married on April 9, 1948 at his father’s home in Richfield, Idaho. This marriage was later solemnized in the Idaho Falls, Idaho Temple. His loving wife passed away thirteen years later from cancer leaving Bob with six small children to care for. As good fortune would have it, he found true love again with Caroll E. Brown and married her on June 1, 1962, in Gooding, Idaho. She brought with her to the marriage one son. Later, Bob and Caroll added two more children to their large growing family. This marriage was later solemnized in the Idaho Falls, Idaho Temple. Following the war, Bob secured work at Harbaugh Motors in Gooding, Idaho, under the G.I. Bill where he became the auto body shop foreman. When Harbaugh Motors sold out, Bob went to work for Leo Rice Motors where he ran their auto body shop. Finally, Bob went to work for himself opening the Rogers Paint and Body Shop in Gooding which remained in business for 45 years. Bob was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He led a lifetime of service to others and touched many lives. He was the Bishop of Gooding First Ward for many years. During his service as bishop, the church building burned down and he was very instrumental in building the chapel that now stands on Main Street in Gooding, Idaho. Bob and his wife, Caroll, served as ordinance workers in the Boise Idaho Temple for 16 years. They also served a mission together in the Virginia Richmond Mission. The people he left a legacy to and that are left to honor him are his nine children: Dean (Bonnie) Rogers, Tooele, UT; Dale (Tammy) Rogers, Boise, ID; Dennis (Debra) Rogers, Gooding, ID; Diane (Ed) Burton, Preston, ID; Andrew (Sherry) DePew, Kona, Hawaii; Doyle (Valarie) Rogers, Gooding, ID; Debbie (William) Perron, Boise, ID; Dawna (John) Flora, Gooding, ID; Douglas (Lara) Rogers. Lindon, UT; 49 grandchildren; 119 great grandchildren; and one great great grandchild; one brother Hal (Kathy) Rogers; one sister, Darlene Bartlome. He is preceded in death by Vona B. (Dodge) Rogers, Caroll E. (Brown) Rogers, 2 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild, 5 brothers, and 2 sisters. Funeral services were held on February 22, 2018, at the Gooding LDS Chapel.

LaDru Sorensen
1-888-934-1862 • Wednesday, February 28, 2018 • The Courier NEWS
Heaven gained a “tough as nails cowboy” this week. This tender to the core husband, dad, grandpa and friend left us February 24, 2018 at his home in Dietrich, Idaho surrounded by family. LaDru C Sorensen, 92 years of age, was born in Mt. Carmel, Utah February 13, 1926 to Effie and Earl Sorensen. He was the third child after twins Earl and Earlene. He was soon followed by brothers Demoin and Dale. LaDru, or Duke to family and close friends, grew up in the Red Rock country of southern Utah learning early to work hard and tend the family’s cows, sheep and horses. His earliest recollections are of driving teams of horses or tending sheep on the Arizona Strip. His father often rented their horse teams to the growing movie industry that filmed in the community. Duke was a skilled horseman at an early age, at twelve years of age, he drove a team of horses and wagon 91 miles to a western movie set being filmed at Glen Canyon. He stayed 2 weeks, by himself, on the set while driving the team and wagon and even acting in the movie. Upon graduation from high school, LaDru answered his country’s call and enlisted in the United States Army 187th Infantry 11th Airborne Division. He participated in the bloody fighting in the liberation of the islands of Leyte and Luzon. His airborne unit was scheduled to parachute into Japan shortly after the atomic bombs were dropped. The unit’s airplanes were circling an airfield when news came of Japan’s surrender. The airplanes landed at the airfield and the starving Japanese troops surrendered. LaDru was recognized with the ‘Philippine Liberation Ribbon with 1 Bronze Star’ for his distinguished service. He was discharged two years and one month from the time of enlistment. “I was glad to be home and get on with my life.” Returning to Utah, LaDru met LaRue Spencer of Orderville, Utah. They were married December 18, 1947 in the St. George Temple. LaDru’s favorite author Zane Grey best described their seventy years together: “Love grows more tremendously full, swift, and poignant, as the years multiply.” In December of 2017, LaDru and LaRue celebrated their seventy years of adventure, ranching, family and serving their community and church. The Sorensen family made their cowboy adventures and memories in the Red Rocks of Southern Utah; the sagebrush black rocks of Dietrich, Idaho; the North Rim of the Grand Canyon; the high desert plains of Weiser, Idaho and eventually back to Dietrich, Idaho where they have resided for the last 24 years. Dad was an easy role model to follow. He taught us to drink upstream of the outhouse, that rocky mountain oysters were not seafood of any type, a surefire way to cure chapped lips, you should always check your own cinch, always make straight rows of loose hay, and to tend the animals before you tend yourself. But he mostly taught us that family is everything. A lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Brother Sorensen was Bishop of his Ward for many years and has served in many capacities throughout his life. LaDru is survived by his wife LaRue Sorensen, his 10 children, 48 grandkids and 79 great grandkids, and his brother Dale Sorensen of Mt. Carmel, Utah. He is preceded in death by his parents Effie and Earl Sorensen, his brothers Earl and Demoin, his sister Earlene, four grandkids- Jordan McCowan, David Sorensen, Stephanie Baldawald and Arcadio Rocha Jr. and two great grandkids - Triston Harris and Strat Sorensen. Services will be held at the LDS church in Dietrich, Idaho on Wednesday, February 28, 2018 at 11:00 am. Burial will follow at the Dietrich Cemetery in Dietrich. In lieu of cards and flowers, the Sorensen family requests that family and friends call upon their neighbors to continue Duke’s compassion and care for family and neighbors.

Cup of Tee
As I look into the mirror this morning I see my nose looks a little flat. Did I run into a wall somewhere? Was I sleep walking? Sleep walking isn’t one of my physical traits exhibited. (If we were not meant to have a midnight snack, why is there a light in the fridge?) As I started to write a letter this morning, my mind went blank as if I had run into a wall. It seems like if I had any thoughts at all they were on a trip to the moon without me. Hopefully, they are not on a one-way trip. I put my pen on the paper and it rolled off onto the floor. That definitely doesn’t help me to write. Looking at the coo-coo clock to focus on a time factor, I discovered that the clock had not been wound and time was standing still. It was the same time it was... probably yesterday (just spent 15 minutes searching for my phone in the car, while using my phone as a flashlight). Maybe I’m experiencing “The Twilight Zone” (remember that show on TV?) where I am actually paralleling another time. Maybe I need to go on a vacation to see new ideas and obtain new thoughts. Okay, I guess I’m in for that idea (beam me up, Scotty!). It’s like knowing someone all your life - or twenty years at least - and you are introducing them to someone else and you forget their name. You stand looking with a seemingly long period of time lost. Sometimes you don’t bounce back and can’t introduce the person you have

known forever. (if you can’t remember my name, yell “chocolate.” I’ll respond.) Maybe I’m experiencing withdrawal symptoms from the Marie Callendar restaurant closing in Boise, Idaho - a lack of homemade pie. Maybe I need ice cream ala mode, which is a scoop of ice cream (ala mode) on a scoop of ice cream. When we kids were at home and you were talking and you forgot what you were saying, mom would say, “Must of been a lie.” Sorry, mom. That wasn’t the answer then and still isn’t. (I’m not forgetful or lazy. I’m on energy saving mode.) When does one get the recall to end the run into the wall syndrome? That is a good question. I’m currently trying to answer that in my mind. Normally, one can sit things down and come back in a short. The lost thoughts somehow lose themselves and your brain can go on to something else. This works real well if you step outside in the freezing air. It don’t take long for you to want to be back inside. The brain freeze thing is more commonly coined when you eat ice cream too fast (cold water cures that). If you are not on a time schedule, you can leave things over night. But if you are on a term paper type schedule, that is not such a good plan. Mental block may be cured by a good western or slapstick comedy. This is my “Cup of Tee” saying, I’m not slipping, my sock is sliding in my shoe.
