Gooding's River Wall Project Begins
After 20+ years, the rehabilitation of the Little Wood River channel through the City of Gooding is finally beginning.
On Thursday, March 28th, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Walla Walla District) and the City of Gooding signed a Project Partnership Agreement for the project. The agreement defines the shared responsibilities and cost-sharing commitments of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the City of Gooding as they jointly work to rehabilitate the Gooding Canal that provides a channel for the Little Wood River as it flows through the city.
As the first step in the project, USACE will perform a topographical/geotechnical survey and model flow through the channel. USACE will use this information to develop a conceptual design for the project before contracting it for construction.
The river wall was originally constructed in the 1930's and early 40's by the Works Progress Administration’s Civilian Conservation Corps, with the intent of protecting the city from flooding. Over the years, high water and ice jams have caused severe deterioration of the lava rock walls resulting some areas failing and falling into the channel.
In 2009, Congressman Mike Simpson started the process of funding this project by earmarking $100,000 in funding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for this project. This initial investment in the project was due in large part to the efforts of then Mayor Duke Morton who passed away in 2013 and retired Public Works Director Todd Bunn.
Fifteen years later, Mayor Diane Houser and Public Works Director Larry Bybee continued the effort of bringing this project to fruition. “The City of Gooding is excited to begin work on the River Wall,” said Mayor Houser. “We appreciate the hard work of Congressman Mike Simpson and his staff, as well as the Army Corps of Engineers, and those who kept working this project over the last twenty years.”

"I want to thank the snowmobile community for respecting the closure during snowcat skiing operations over the past winter.”
Snowmobilers are asked to park in the north end of the ski area parking lot. Motorized access will be temporarily authorized along a marked corridor through the ski area or via the South Fork of Soldier Creek to get to the snowcat skiing area.

Tunnels by Rebeca R.
April is... National Poetry Month!
If you have a bit of poetry in you, and you want to be brave, share it with our readers.
Railway Tunnels, are the underground passages, which leads the traveler, through the deepening darkness of a perilous gateway. Into strange new lands, filled with unknown wonders and visions.
A mysterious empty world beneath the mountains born of black powder and steel. Chiseled through with a miner's sweat, muscle, and bone. A near-certain death beneath the crushing earth is their only reward.
Some present with pride their smooth walls of polished brick, or tile, and others show their darker face of jagged points of blasted rock and bits of stone. Many give the illusion, of safety, giving the weary traveler, a reassuring view of both lighted ends. Yet, others can give you the shivers, for they are as long as the foreboding mountains they attempt to traverse.
Covered in White snow, steel frozen by ice, or cold melting rain, the train's steel wheels roll on through the darkness. The endless tracks barely illuminated, by the train's halogen lights. Moving ever deeper into the maw of the mountain, with only a glimmer of light deep within, offering the merest possibility of escape.
Pulse quickening through a sheet of blinding white light, your train is spit back out into the normalcy of the Sun or Moon's illumination. but to where or to what new wondrous adventure are you in-barking upon?
No matter, it is always a joy, shudder, and wonder to observe as you pass through tunnels.
Apply For Property Tax Relief
Monday, April 15th, is the last day for certain homeowners and veterans with disabilities to apply for relief from their 2023 property taxes. They must submit completed applications to county assessors by that date.
This program reduces property taxes by as much as $1,500 on an eligible homeowner's primary Idaho residence and up to an acre of land. You might qualify for a property tax reduction if all of these are true:
● You're an Idaho resident
● You own and occupy your home, and the value doesn't exceed a limit set by law and that will be calculated in June 2024.
● Your total 2023 income, after deducting medical expenses, was $37,000 or less.
● You're any of the following as of January 1, 2024:
▪ 65 or older
▪ Former POW or hostage
▪ Motherless or fatherless child under 18
▪ Blind
▪ Widow(er)
▪ Disabled as recognized by the Social Security Administration, Railroad Retirement Board, Federal Civil Service, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, or a public employment system not covered by these agencies.
Homeowners can get an application for property tax reduction on the Idaho State Tax Commission website at tax.idaho.gov or from their county assessor.
Homeowners who don't qualify for the Property Tax Reduction program might qualify for the Property Tax Deferral program, which has an application deadline of September 3rd.
Lincoln County to Open Community Daycare
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners is proud to announce the county is the recipient of a $450,000 grant to create a daycare center. “This is a tremendous opportunity for the families of Lincoln County,” said Commission Chairman, Rebecca Wood. “We hope it’s a great start to providing the needed childcare for our community.”
The plan will add a total of 30 spaces for children aged 0-3 over the next two years, Wood said. The funding is made possible by a grant from the Idaho Work Force Development Council and contributions from local businesses. “We have generous support from Lezamiz Dairy, ETS Technologies, Ironwood Industries and others, for in-kind contributions that will help make this project successful,” Wood said.
The day care project is scheduled to open in phases until all 30 spaces are available. Transportation to and from the center will be provided. “We know 30 spaces won’t fill the full needs of the county's families, but it’s a start, and we hope it will open the door to more opportunities.”
Wood said the current plan is to open the day care center on the existing Lincoln County Youth Center site in Richfield, but Wood said she hasn’t ruled out other locations. “We have to run some numbers for the other locations to find the best investment for our community.”
Under Wood’s direction, Lincoln County has invested heavily in childcare over the last three years. Wood, along with Lincoln County Youth Center Co-Founder, Karma Metzler Fitzgerald have acquired more than $2 million in grant funding and donations to provide a county-owned facility where pre-school and afterschool programs for Lincoln County residents happen daily. According to Wood, the economic impact of that work will result in nearly $20 million in return on investment back to the community.
“At this point, all of that has been done without directly using Lincoln County taxpayer dollars. Some of our funding comes from federal and state grants, some from personal donations, but it’s all been done with grants and donations.” The goal is helping Lincoln County parents be able to enter the workforce if needed. Right now, she said, far too many families need the extra income, employers need employees, but without childcare, it’s just not possible.
Wood hopes to have the new daycare center open by the end of 2024. She said the new center will be fully licensed and able to accept Idaho Child Care Program payments, which help some families cover costs. She said she’s still looking for more corporate sponsors and in-kind donations to ensure the success of the program.

obituary
Anita K. Renner
Anita Kathleen Roseberry was born in Marley, Idaho on September 27, 1929. Anita was the oldest daughter of Thomas and Jeneveive Roseberry. Tom and Jennie moved to Idaho from Indian Nation now known as Oklahoma. They settled in the Richfield area where Tom worked for the railroad. Anita was the 5th Roseberry child. She had four older brothers: Chester, Don, Jerry, Bud and a younger sister Roxy. Anita attended Richfield schools with her siblings.
She remained in Richfield after school until she met Albert Renner through one of her brothers. They were married in 1946 in Elko, Nevada. Albert and Anita moved to Albert’s families homestead North of Shoshone, Idaho. Albert and Anita had 3 boys. Don, Leroy, and Jesse Renner.
Anita helped on the ranch with cattle, farming the fields, and raising her boys. She lost Albert October 2, 1983. Anita stayed on the ranch with the help of her boys and their families until 1985 when she moved into town.
Anita was fiercely independent. She retired to Gooding, Idaho where she took great pride in taking care of her home and working in her yard. Anita was very active and would go walking in the mornings with friends. You could catch her reading the paper with her morning coffee or doing a word search. She loved watching cowboy movies or a good picture show. She was very proud of her Native American heritage which she loved to share with her family and friends.
Anita spent countless hours sitting in the stands at her grandkids sporting events. If her granddaughters had a game, you could bet that she would be in the stands cheering them on and taking them to dairy queen for ice cream after. This later extended to many days at the ball fields cheering on her great-grandsons. Anita opened her home to all her granddaughters’ friends and treated them like her own.
Anita loved to go dancing with her friends and enjoyed playing bingo with her granddaughters at the fair every year. Anita was very active in retirement and spent a lot of time with her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great great-grandchildren. Anita was affectionately known as Grandma Nita and Nene.
Anita touched the lives of many people with her joyful spirit and love of life. She was a prominent and impactful figure in many people’s childhoods. We will forever cherish the memories she bestowed upon us and ensure that her memories live in our hearts forever.
Anita is survived by her son Leroy (Tina) Renner of Hagerman, ID; grandchildren Shawna Jones of Deer Park, WA; Toby Renner of Deer Park, WA; Katrina Telleria of Sidney, MT; Tarcie (Kyle) Carter of Sidney, MT; and Karole Renner of Dexter, MO; 9 great-grandchildren; Orin, Cody, Brandon, Robbie, Makenzie, Brandon, Isaiah, Elias, and Tillman; and 3 great great-grandchildren; Bentley, Paisley, and Jovi.
Anita is preceded in death by her parents, husband, 2 sons, and 5 siblings and their spouses. A funeral service will be held on Thursday, April 4, 2024 at 11 a.m. at Demaray Funeral Service - Gooding Chapel. Burial will follow at the Richfield Cemetery. Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service.
Ronald Earle Gillett
March 21st, 2024 our beloved husband, father, and grandfather Ronald Earle Gillett, 83, (most recently) of Hagerman, Idaho passed away peacefully after a rapid decline in health. And in doing so left our hearts broken.
A proud native son of Idaho, Ron was born on August 15th, 1940 in Buhl to Robert “Earle” and Jacquelin “Jackie” Jessie (Neal) Gillett. He was raised as their only child.
During his eighth-grade year, Ron moved with his parents who purchased a ranch in Hailey, Idaho along Broadford Road south of what is now the airport. He would have an idyllic life growing up in the Wood River Valley attending high school, making lasting friends, fishing, hunting of all kinds (occasionally skipping school to do so), and becoming an exceptional skier while his dad oftentimes helped work and maintain the ski lifts when not farming and ranching. These pastimes would become some of Ron’s favorite throughout his lifetime, while adding more along the way and sharing these with his kids.
After graduating high school in 1958, Ron started his college career as a freshman at Idaho State University, eventually transferring to Utah State to finish his Bachelor of Science double majoring in Social Studies and Physical Education in 1965. While finishing his undergraduate studies, he and his best friend from high school supported themselves by starting a mobile cleaning company out of a ’47 Chevrolet white-paneled truck. It was during this time cleaning inside homes and businesses, that Ron began to come across—and develop a keen eye for—cowboy antiques and western memorabilia.
After finishing college, he started off his career by first hiring on at Jerome High School as a Social Studies teacher, and as the freshman basketball coach and assistant football coach. This began a progressive series of professional opportunities teaching social studies/history and coaching basketball at high schools in places like Buhl, Aberdeen, and Holladay, Utah. He was head basketball coach at Aberdeen, coaching his varsity team to a 24-4 record, and taking them to state while there. Players on that team recall, “He was an incredible teacher and coach. He was always ‘in it to win it’ every day of his life.” And “Coach Gillett was our greatest cheerleader. He corrected us and even put us in our place when needed, but he praised us and was so excited for our successes as a team.”
During this time, Ron looked for adventure over the summer months while not teaching. In the summer of 1968, he and his long-time friend decided to hop into Ron’s old Volkswagen beetle and make the drive to Petersburg Island, Alaska and work on a commercial salmon fishing boat called the Bellboy in a crew of six plus the captain. It was physically exhausting work with everyone spending 18–20-hour days in dangerous conditions and a rowdy ship where tempers flared and the occasional knuckle sandwich was served up. The Idaho boys more than held their own with the Alaska crew. By the end of the summer, upon leaving Alaska, both Ron and his friend had each earned in just 3 months the equivalent of a full year teacher’s salary which in 1968 was $6,000.
For the summer of 1969, Ron had the opportunity to go on a teaching exchange to Sydney, Australia during their winter months where he continued to make enormous impact on young lives in the classroom and on the court. And when he finally returned to the States, his absence in Australia was sorely felt by faculty and students alike. Said one student in a letter mailed to him, “Please next time you have your summer holiday try to come back to Australia and visit us at Picnic Point High School again ‘cause you’re the most welcome visitor we’ll ever have.” A faculty colleague wrote him, “Dear Ron, I’ve been plagued by kids ever since you left to get you back to teach them.” In life, Ron never mentioned to his loved ones how much he touched the lives of those kids a half world away and has since only become evident to us through the discovery of multiple saved letters.
In 1971, Ron earned his master’s degree at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah majoring in Physical Education—Athletics, and minoring in Education Administration. Not a member of BYU’s sponsoring faith, he was somewhat of a peculiarity. Of this time, Ron would say he was always treated well and loved the free Wednesday night home cooked dinners he and his roommates would never miss at the local church. To support himself during his graduate studies, he taught skiing lessons nearby at Sundance ski resort.
Upon finishing his graduate degree, he continued to teach and coach high school basketball for Minico and Burley High schools. It was at Burley that as head coach he took his team to
state championships during a season of packed gyms where people were almost hanging from the rafters to see the games.
It was also during this time that Ron discovered a new passion during the summers—whitewater rafting and commercial guiding.
Ron started as a hired river guide in 1970, working for Eldon Handy’s Expedition Whitewater Company on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River where, in 1972, the going rate for a six-day float trip was $285 per guest. Scratching that entrepreneur’s itch, it wasn’t long before Ron had his eye on owning and operating his own river outfit. With a lot of grit and vision, and significant support from his parents Earle and Jackie, in 1975 he bought a two-acre bare piece of property on the west end of Stanley, Idaho from which to base his operation. Triangle C Ranch Whitewater Float Expeditions was born. Using a 1953 Ford truck that Earle converted into a massive log crane, Ron and crew cut their own logs, skidded them, hauled them, and hand-peeled them—eventually erecting 13 log buildings that included a shop for the river equipment, a bunk house for guides, a house for himself and family, and 10 log cabin rentals.
In 1988, Ron pulled off his greatest sales pitch, convincing the love of his life Linda to join him at Triangle C Ranch where she managed the cabin rentals and ran a successful catering business for the duration of their time there. Over the 35+ years of running both the Middle Fork of the Salmon and the Upper Main Salmon, as well as the cabins rentals, the business helped forged friendships between the Gillett Family and many guides, employees, and guests that have passed through Triangle C. He also served in leadership roles for the Idaho Outfitters and Guides Association, the regulating body for the industry in the state.
Ron championed balancing both tourism and conservation of the Stanley area in which he lived and operated. Often this entailed opposing federal government overreach—and he never backed down from a challenge. In 1998, he was invited to prepare a statement in front of a U.S. Senate Committee for Energy & Natural Resources in Washington D.C, defending the rights of outfitters and small business owners to operate responsibly on the Salmon River. A lover of the big game herds of Idaho, Ron also opposed the unilateral reintroduction of wolves into the state and spent years galvanizing a grass-roots effort of Idaho citizens to enact laws that would allow for wolf populations to be managed through hunting and predator tag programs. Anything Ron believed in; he threw his whole heart into. You could comment on the nice day, and he’d steer the conversation to wolf legislation.
Ron’s passion for cowboy antiques and western memorabilia intensified. Even after Ron and Linda retired to Hagerman, Idaho from the river business in Stanley, he continued to amass a collection and reputation as the foremost expert on high-end spurs, chaps, bits, bridles, saddles, and guns of the cowboy era. True to his history teacher beginnings, he would give interested listeners a tour of his collection, and a master class in western collectibles and history, his eyes lighting up and the passion evident in his voice the entire time.
His children cherish memories growing up learning to ski, hunt, fish, and run the river with him. Accompanying him on cross-country drives around the West in search of cowboy collectibles, or delivering restored wagons to buyers, and attending antique shows and auctions are some of our best memories with him.
Ron was predeceased by his mother Jacquelin Neal Gillett, who died July 4th, 1984; and his father Robert “Earle” Gillett, who died December 10th, 2010.
He is survived by his wife - Linda Jo [Brownlee] Gillett, as well as his children from previous marriages—son Josh Gillett, daughters Larke Gillett and Colt Gillett. Also step-children who he treated as his own—Bill Sargent, Adam Sargent, Madelon Gerety, Cortney Gillett. Sons - and daughters-in-law: Gary Adams, Mike Gerety, Cathi Sargent, Nichole Sargent, and Mary Gillett. He also leaves eleven grandchildren (and spouses) behind including Sage (Alicia) Sargent, Morgan Sargent, Maddy Jo (Nole) Thompson, Lane (Abigale) Sargent, Henry Gillett, Jane Gillett, William Gillett, Suzy Gillett, Cooper Gerety, Taylor Lawford, and Nick Lawford. Aria Sargent is Ron’s great grandchild.
We wish to invite ALL of his family and friends to a memorial in his honor on Saturday, April 6th, 2024 at 11:00 am at the Demaray Funeral Home on 737 Main Street, Gooding, Idaho 83330, with stories to be told.
