Remembering a Friend Like many of you, I had a conversation with a dear friend this past week or so. Today, that man is no longer with us. And yet, his words of encouragement and his love for Jesus Christ still ring in my ears. When I was a young man, he was an inspiration - he was a man I wanted to be like. Not because he was a dedicated, hardworking farmer, a loving father, or a man the whole community spoke well of... but because he loved God. To be certain, he was not perfect - he had many faults. His heart had a multitude of burdens to carry - burdens, that I am sure, broke his heart day after day. Fortunately, he had a friend who helped him carry those burdens - his Lord and Savior. The world would like to define us by our successes in business, with money, in our families, by our power and influence. While all those things may be true of my friend (to one extent or another), his true success in life was to find forgiveness in the arms of his Creator. If he was still here and we could hear his voice, he would remind us that the only words worth listening to, are the words found in God’s Word - the Bible. Do not be afraid to sorrow over his passing, but make certain that when your time comes, there is no doubt in your heart that you will see the joy that he now sees in heaven. Written for a dear friend, Marvin France

Richard Grover Richard “Dick” Lorenzo Grover, 68, passed away March 9, 2013 at a care center in Gooding, Idaho, after a long struggle with health problems. Richard was born on December 28, 1944 in Ogden, Utah to goodly parents, Alma and Persis Grover. Richard was the eldest living child with two brothers and one sister. During his childhood he lived in New Plymouth, Weiser, and Middleton, Idaho where he graduated in 1963. On August 30, 1963 he married his eternal sweetheart, Glenna Despain, in the Idaho Falls L.D.S. Temple and would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in August of this year. He loved telling people that he had two and a half dozen children-two boys and a half-dozen girls. He was very proud of each of his children and grandchildren. Richard worked in the construction business until 1970 when he went to work for Building Services for the State of Idaho. In November 1977 he was hired as maintenance director at the Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind in Gooding. He loved his job at the ISDB and was very dedicated to excellence in everything he did. He retired from ISDB in 2007. Upon retirement, Richard and Glenna were desirous to serve a full-time mission for the L.D.S. Church, which had always been their goal. However, Richard’s poor health would not allow this. They felt great joy when Richard was called as Director for the Family History Library in Twin Falls. They felt this was their mission and served together faithfully for 18 months until Richard’s health began to fail and he was released. His love was family history, and he was thrilled to assist many people in searching for their ancestors. Richard was always an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He served valiantly in many callings throughout his life including stake missionary, bishopric counselor, high priest group leader, family history consultant, and teacher. Richard is survived by his loving wife, Glenna, and his children Sheryl (Dale) Dille, Kaysville, UT,; Karen (Vance) McHan, Gooding, ID; Ann (Thad) Marvin, Nine Mile Falls, WA; Tom (Tammy) Grover, Emmett, ID; Carol (John) Haken, Filer, ID; Faye Grover, Gooding, ID; Pam (Charles) Cook, Vancouver, WA; and William (Erin) Grover, Boise, ID. He is also survived by 36 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, as well as his brothers, Kenneth (Elva) Grover, Lynn Grover, and his sister Marilyn (Tim) Tiffany, all of Utah. He is also survived by many in-laws, cousins, nieces, and nephews who loved and respected him. He was preceded in death by his parents, twin infant sisters, and one granddaughter, Thalia Marvin. He was a vital part
Shirley Gene Grimm Shirley Gene Grimm of Gooding, Idaho left this life and continued on to the next on March 2, 2013 at St. Luke’s Hospital in Twin Falls, Idaho. She was born in Long Beach, California on March 25, 1931 to Pearl and James Blackwell. She spent her growing up years and early adulthood in California until she met and married the love of her life, Harold Burr Grimm, a Navy boy from Idaho. After his discharge from the Navy and the birth of their first son in 1953, Shirley was transplanted to Idaho where her roots grew wide and deep and she has been home here ever since. Harold and Shirley spent the next 35 years sharing time in the Boise area as well as Fairfield, Harold’s hometown. Harold passed away in July of 1988. Since that time, Shirley continued to call Fairfield home for a while and Twin Falls also for a short period of time. She is a long-time resident of the Gracehill Apartments in Gooding, Idaho where she was residing at the time of her death and she enjoyed the love and companionship of many wonderful friends there. Shirley is survived by her two sons, Roy and his wife Kris of Taipei, Taiwan, Jay of Twin Falls, Idaho, 11 grandchildren and an every-increasing number of great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sweet little dog and constant companion, Pandi. She was preceded in death by her parents and older brother, Roy, her precious husband, Harold and her daughter, Beverly who was also her very best friend. A memorial service was held on Thursday, March 7, 2013. Cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.

Marvin Robert France Marvin Robert France, 78, a resident of Corral, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, March 10, 2013 at his Home at Corral, Idaho. Marvin was born March 2, 1935 in Gooding, Idaho to Earl and Alice France. The sixth of eight children, his childhood was spent on the family farm north of Gooding where they raised livestock and row crops. Theirs was a close knit, loving family. Marvin met Shirley Graves on a blind date October 6, 1956. In this case, blind refers to the fact that Marvin was struck blind to all other girls from that day forward. They married one year later - October 6, 1957. Marvin and Shirley had three children: Teri Ann, Ray Allen, & Clayton Glen. Marvin had many occupations throughout his lifetime, including ranching, farming, bank loan officer, tire repairman, contractor, school board member, county commissioner, & Sunday school teacher. Of all the things that he was involved in, the one that always drew him back and was an undeniable part of him was farming. Marvin loved dry land farming on the Camas Prairie and was often heard to say that he never planned to retire. Marvin impacted many lives with his smile, his generosity, and his heartfelt compassion. He lived his convictions. He didn’t just talk about doing good things; he did them, quietly, expecting nothing in return. He simply made the world a better place, following the example of his savior Jesus Christ. Marvin is survived by his loving wife of 55 years - Shirley, of Corral. ID; three children: Teri (Ken) Backstrom, of Corral, ID; Ray France, of Tulare, CA; and Clay (Graham McReynolds), of Portland, OR; four grandchildren: Stephanie (Dan) Telford; Annika Backstrom; Grayce (Ben) Wagner; and Kayme Backstrom; and three great-grandchildren: Cameron, Connor, and Kellon.

Camas Public Library Bits & Bytes A new book for the Camas County Public Library is Honolulu by Alan Brennert. This story takes place in the 1900’s in Korea and Honolulu, Hawaii, and is historical fiction at its best. It is a moving epic about a young woman having nothing, but is determined to have a better life and through many struggles achieves this. This book could be called a five star read and one you wouldn’t wasn’t to put down. Another new book at the library is The Witness by Nora Roberts. This is book with many twists and turns including suspense, mystery, and romance….another good Nora book.

...but never Compromising the Truth.
Cup of Tee
Sunday morning I awoke with an idea in my head. Looking at my cell phone, I thought I needed to add an hour to my time. I started hustling around because I thought I wasn’t on the schedule I needed for my idea. Then somewhere, I turned the light bulb on... “Gee, Tee, your cell phone has already changed the time.” Daylight Savings Time in the spring always goofs my life process up. Enough said about the change in time - back to the original thought. I call my younger sister and told her I wanted her to help me with an experiment. Her instant reply was, “No, you are not going to color my hair.” That wasn’t what I had in mind. I told her I wanted to try Dutch Oven cooking for the first time and would she be a guinea subject. She said that her husband, her son, and herself would accept being experimental subjects. If something went wrong, she had some chicken nuggets in the freezer that would suffice for emergency fixings. I have been told that only a few catastrophes happen with Dutch Oven cooking - namely: it is not done, it is burnt, or you didn’t cook enough good eats. Sounded easy enough for me. To ensure a little better success, I did a few prep things. First, I put on my western shirt with the low neck line collar (unlike my usual high collared one). I felt this would make me look more like one of those master chefs. Second, I put on my John
The Courier NEWS - 9 Deere, wide brimmed, summer hat. If any thing helps one, it’s having proven, high quality, test driven thoughts to back your endeavors. In addition, I put my running shoes on in case of Dutch Oven failure so I could run. I gathered my pork roast that I had taken out of the freezer for another meal, some potatoes, onions, carrots, briquettes, a couple of my acquired Dutch Ovens, and headed to my sister’s house. Still looking for the edge on my first trial, I stopped at the grocery store and grabbed some chocolate covered donuts bars and some ‘Cool Whip.’ Maybe the treat would help with the pain and agony of a Dutch Oven disaster. Upon arriving at my sister’s, she took one look at my dress and immediately had her doubts. “You aren’t going to burn my house down or make something that explodes are you?” she replied. I said, “Do I look like that kind of character?” I immediately changed the thought process with chocolate bars(the back up treats). With my brother-in-law’s ingenuity, we build a make-shift kitchen in the driveway complete with sitting chairs. The cooking and prepping process should be a letter (story) continued to next week, but I know you are wanting to know how the food turned out. Well, thankful to say, no one had to have 911 services, and with all the fears gone, the meal turned out good over all. This is my “Cup of Tee” saying, “Tee, that wasn’t so hard!!!”
