Main Street Program Organizational Meeting March 5th at 6:30 p.m. 145 7th Ave E. ~ Gooding
This Thursday, March 5th, an organizational meeting will be held at the Gooding County Planning and Zoning office (just south of the County Courthouse on 7th Avenue East) to discuss projects for the Gooding Main Street Program. Main Streets are the traditional centers for social, cultural, and economic activity in our communities. They tell us who we are and who we were, as well
as who we will become. Over thirty years ago a national program, named the Main Street Program, formed with the purpose of providing resources and the framework to preserve these main streets and downtown business districts. To date this program has touched over 2,000 communities, brought in 115,000 new businesses, and gathered more than $65 billion in reinvestment into local communities. Over the last several years, these “Main Street” areas have also shown a remarkable ability to weather economic
hardships. Gooding recently announce a plan to launch their own Main Street Program in conjunction with the national program in order to preserve Gooding’s rich traditions and attract new residents and businesses. If you are a business owner or just a person who loves their hometown, you are invited to attend this event. If you would like more information about this program, please contact Jason Neil at 208-227-3389 or email Jason.neil@edwardjones.com

Schubert Theatre Now 501c3
by Charmy LeaVell It is with GREAT excitement we announce that GREAT, Inc. (Gooding Restoration for Entertainment, Arts and Theater) a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization has been formed for the purpose of restoring the historical Schubert Theatre. New board members are President Karolyn Gaines; Vice President Lonnie LeaVell and Secretary/Treasurer Charmy LeaVell. The Theatre underwent remodeling in 1946 and 1983 to accommodate patrons in the changing times and changing décor; but, more recently, restoration efforts failed and the theater has remained un-used or underused for several years. The property was later acquired by Charmy and Lonnie LeaVell and they are committed to the protection and restoration of this important piece of Gooding County history. The LeaVells’ focus has been to ensure the restoration of the theater not only because of its historical sigcontinued on page 8.....

Local businesses are being asked if they would like to sponsor either a 1/2 of a train car at $75.00 or a whole train car at $150.00. Those who choose a half car will get their name put on one side of the car and if a whole car is chosen they will get their name on both sides of the car.

Veta Ann Cooper Roseberry was born December 13, 1925 in Mountain Grove, Missouri, the daughter of Joseph B Cooper and Bertie Upshaw Cooper. The family moved to Idaho when Veta was 5. She grew up in Richfield on an 80 acre farm with four sisters. They helped in the fields, stacked hay, fed the animals and milked the cows. Veta graduated from high school in Richfield in 1943, lettering in softball and basketball. She loved and continued to play softball even after she married and had her four children. After high school, she attended telegraphy school. Veta married her high school sweetheart, Bud Roseberry, on June 9, 1945 in Shoshone, ID and they renewed their wedding vows December 15, 2012 in Ketchum, ID. Together they raised four children. They moved to Jerome in 1954. She retired as a bookkeeper for Cal Gas where she worked for 30 years. Veta was a remarkable seamstress, sewing clothes for her family as they grew up, including western yoked shirts for Bud, prom dresses and cheerleading outfits for her daughters and their friends. She also was a master quilter and left each member of her family with a quilt too beautiful to use. Mom also made beautiful wagon wheel rugs and was a very crafty lady who could reproduce anything she saw. Through all the tears and sadness, there is a sense of calmness knowing she is free and at peace with her husband Bud of 68 years, who preceded her in death in 2013. Veta resided at Hospice House in Jerome for the past 10 months. We thank the extremely competent staff for their kindness and care of our mother. Veta is survived by her four children, Karen Roseberry of Ketchum, Karla Roseberry Gonzalez (Felix) of Ketchum, Blake Roseberry (Robyn) of Albion, PA & Steve Roseberry (Ann) of Middleton, ID. She is also survived by 5 grandchildren, her favorite granddaughter Jennie Gridley (Greg) of Meridian, ID; Ben & Bud Gonzalez of Ketchum; Joe & Sam Roseberry of Boise and three great-grandchildren, Jake, Madison and Ella Jo Gridley of Meridian.

from School District #121
Don’t Forget the Supplemental Levy Election on March 10th The 2015-2016 school year will continue to be a challenge to the commitment of educating our most precious asset, and in many ways the future, the children of Camas County. The slow economic recovery and the destabilization of State of Idaho revenue have created great challenges for the Joint Finance and Appropriation Committee and their ability to adequately fund Idaho’s public education system. At this time the FY 2016 appropriation has not been set, however early rumors indicate that there will be an attempt to set the Public School Appropriation to match the 2009 appropriation level. This is a step in the right direction but certainly doesn’t meet the challenges facing Idaho’s public schools. The student population across Idaho is 15,000 students more than it was in 2009 and many more charter schools have been approved. Simple division would indicate that the “appropriation pie” will be significantly diluted by more Idaho students and more charter schools, not to mention 7 years of inflation. The bottom line is that we cannot continue to provide a quality education without the communities continued support. With this in mind, please note that we are one of the very few Idaho school districts that remains committed to not increasing the dollar amount of the supplemental levy! Let me assure you that our elected School Board members have been involved in the planning and management of the district. The Board of Trustees is very aware that Camas County School District is a district with limited financial resources and a concentrated effort is being made to make each and every tax dollar stretch as far as possible. Like many of you, we are committed to do more with less. That is why this year’s supplemental levy is asking for no more than you have approved in the past. That’s right, even though we are receiving far less state support than we have received in previous years, this supplemental levy will be for the same amount that you approved two years ago. Approval of the supplemental levy will not increase your taxes over this year’s levy rate. Once again, rest assured that the Camas County School District will do everything in our power to not undermine our educational programs, including extra-curricular activities. Jim Cobble Superintendent of Schools

death & service notices
Last week as you recall, I was in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to help a friend, Phil (the weather forecasting ground hog). He had predicted six more weeks of winter and the people of Baltimore, Maryland, had nearly ten feet of snow. For doing his job, people were mad at Phil. When I tried to leave the Pennsylvania area undetected, I was put on alarm status at the airport. Did someone slip and identified me before I could leave the state? I approached the airport security check point. I was asked to take off my vest, coat, hat, shoes, and of course, my nickel belt buckle. Then my carry on bag was set on the x-ray conveyor belt. I walked through the scanner with not a problem. When I got to the other end of the conveyor, the TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) agent told me they would have to check my bag. I said, “Go ahead, check it out. I just have my camera in there.” They replied to me, “You have an issue other than your camera. You have ammo in your bag. It appears to be .22 rifle shells.” That was a surprise to me. I had boarded in Boise, Idaho, a few days before with not a detection one. I had used the same bag at a couple of more airport flights previous to this one. The TSA agent unloaded my bag. She found two .22 shells in the seam of my bag. She told me the machine showed a third, but was having a hard time finding it. Finally it showed up. At this time the sheriff’s office was summoned. The sheriff arrived and the ammunition was placed in their custody. As this process was taking place, my scheduled flight was getting closer to leaving. Another TSA agent came back to me to get my drivers licence and ticket for that flight. After a while he came back to get the rest of my flight itinerary. I was given a two minute warning by the gate attendant which was around the corner (and visible) from the check station. Finally, with more waiting the check out process had used all my time, and my plane was able to leave with seat 13B empty. During the process of being checked out, I had called my friend to came back to the airport. Being a fair share down the road, he was able to return to the airport during my waiting spell (I might him, I thought). As I was released, a few things came to mind. Be sure to check your carry on bag before boarding a plane. Recheck your carry on bag if used somewhere else. Triple check your carry on bag before boarding a plane... Just because you are from Idaho and usually carry ammo in your truck, and perhaps in your pocket, other people are not going to understand your life style... Having friends is priceless... The sky is not always the limit... Chewing gum doesn’t taste as good the second time around... Each person who does their job well makes for a perfect world (including weather forecasters and TSA agents). This is my “Cup of 22¢ Tee” Tee Hurd

Many people have shared the days when they went to the theater to watch movies, meet with friends and have a great time with their grandparents as kids and it is GREAT, Inc.’s vision to see that the community has all these opportunities revived and the theater preserved for future generations. Title to the threatre has been donated and passed to the nonprofit by the LeaVells. The Schubert Theatre is located at 402 Main Street in downtown Gooding, Idaho, a small farming community of approximately 3,300 people in southwestern Idaho. Built by Frank R. Gooding, for whom the town is named, the building was designed by Hugo Clausen. This historic site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. A fundraiser is being planned the 1st week in May. The community is invited to participate in a community garage sale and pie social with a silent auction to raise funds for a badly needed new roof. Restoration cannot begin on the inside until a new roof is in place. GREAT is calling for volunteers, grant writers and asking the community to begin saving their garage sale items by placing them in a box designated for the GREAT “roof raising” fundraiser. Details as to location, exact date and time will be announced soon. In the meantime, be sure to follow GREAT, Inc. and the Schubert Theatre on Facebook, like them, friend them & follow them.
