News New Life at Gooding Greenhouse
Out on the east side of Gooding sat a collection of old greenhouses with broken glass and tall weeds. After more than a decade of neglect, what was once a state-of-the-art facility had become nothing more than distant memories. Then, a couple of years ago, Keith Balmer drove by the dilapidated property and saw the potential of bringing the greenhouses back to life. Next Friday and Saturday, April 29th & 30th, you are invited to the Grand Opening of Floral Avenue Gardens at 1891 Floral Avenue
in Gooding. To get there take 10th Avenue East (just south of North Valley Academy) to Oregon Street, jog north to 9th Avenue East, and travel about a half a mile (just past the cemetery). It’s hard to miss. The owners hope to make
“Spring Festival 2016” an annual event to help support local non-profit organizations. This year they are supporting RELAY FOR LIFE. This will be a great opportunity to see the fruits of their labors, and to do some spring plant shopping. On Saturday, April 30th, the Gooding Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribbon-cutting for the new business at noon. Come help welcome Keith Balmer and his son, Eli, the the Gooding Business Community. ---

Everett Lloyd Aplet
Everett Lloyd Aplet, 77, passed away peacefully on March 23, 2016 in Shoshone, ID after a long battle with cancer. He was born March 10, 1939 in West Fir, OR to Lloyd and Frances Aplet. He grew up in small towns in Oregon. He excelled academically throughout all of his schooling. He was a member of TAU BETA PI. Everett served in the U. S. Air Force becoming an electronics engineer as well as an instructor in that field. He was instrumental in creating repairs and advances in Air Traffic Control. He was an inventor. Other accomplishments included the development of Deep Water Pipe Laying which aided in underwater oil pipelines, Deep Water Heavy Lift Systems, the development of the Electronic Control Systems for the current windmills, and advances in Military Ordnance. He was a passionate and constant researcher with accomplishments years ahead of their time. His careers took him around the world which was another great adventure to him. He loved roller skating and then ice skating, concentrating on dance in each sport. Fishing and gardening were also occasional pastimes. Everett and Patty were married on February 29, 1976...... yes, Leap Year! He gained an instant family; Patty’s two young children, Rhonda and Scott. He became a positive influence in their lives. Architecture became another passion. He designed and built several unique, one-of-a-kind homes while living in the Pacific Northwest. Other job opportunities required a move to the deserts of Southern California. Upon retirement 25 years later he and Patty moved fulltime to Shoshone. He lived long enough to celebrate 40 years of marriage. Ten actual anniversaries.....yes, the Leap Year thing! Another goal accomplished. Everett was an extraordinary man who lived an extraordinary life. He will be greatly missed by his surviving family members and many friends. A celebration of his life will be held at the Golden Years Senior Center in Shoshone on Saturday, April 23, from 2-4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations for Cancer Research to MSTI at St. Luke’s Hospital in Twin Falls in Everett’s name would be appreciated. The address is MSTI at St.Luke’s Hospital 725 Pole Line Road W. Twin Falls, ID 83301 Attn: Carol Springer His ashes rest on the wings of an angel, his soul with his creator.

death & service notice Christine Diane Carpentier
Christine Diane Carpentier, 43, a resident of Menomonie, Wisconsin, formerly of Gooding, passed away Thursday, March 31, 2016 in Menomonie. A memorial graveside service will be held at 11:00 am, on Monday, May 16, 2016 at Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding, with Pastor Roger Johnson officiating. Local arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.
When cars first came out, they slowly made they’re way to the Camas Valley. One of the first to take the plunge was Hyrum Lee Sr. He ordered a Model T Ford thru Harry Giesler, the local Ford dealer. Hyrum was quite excited, greatly anticipating his new automobile. He read through the manual to learn how to operate this new invention. He built a garage to house his investment. The much anticipated automobile arrived on the train. Hyrum went to town, took delivery and drove home. He knew how. He had read the manual. Upon arriving home his wife, and a good showing of his ll kids, greeted him. He proudly drove straight to the garage, that’s where the car belonged. I don’t know if Hyrum missed the part of the manual that explained how to stop the car, or he might have forgotten, or had a panic attack. It was soon learned that pulling hard on the steering wheel and shouting “WHOA”, didn’t work. Into the new garage and out the other side, making the garage into a drive thru, across the back yard, burrowing into the haystack. The contraption was unhurt, the black paint was still shiny, but the excitement over having a car was lost about the same time the back wall of the garage came down. Hyrum was not alone. The learning curve on autos was quite steep for most of the elders of that era. Just like now, when we have to have our grandkids teach us how to use our phones.

Every kid of years ago would do anything to win a trip to Disneyland, California. I guess I was no different than any other kid. The local newspaper, where I lived in Emmett, would sponsor a subscription contest - the grand prize being a trip for four to Disneyland (with a family of six, one would only ponder who would get to go). In the subscription contest (which was about four weeks long) there were special points for new subscriptions, renewals, and out of state subscriptions. In the seventh grade I felt confident enough to try to win that trip to Disneyland, and I took off on foot to sell subscriptions. I knew Gem County enough to be a map maker because I walked a lot of miles. Each time I got to a house, however, the reply was “Sorry kid. I’ve already bought from someone else.” The weekly points announced in the paper showed my lacking subscription sales, but I didn’t give up and kept walking. As the contest neared the end, the leading girl had enough points to lend me some and still win. Everyone gathered at the newspaper office on the closing evening to hear the results first hand. All of our scores were announced with points in the new, renewed, and out of state subscriptions. I kept thinking I should fit in there somewhere, AND THAT I DID. I ended up sixth from the bottom. I got an honorable mention with a picture in the paper, and a metal Idaho Potato bank from Idaho First National Bank. In eighth grade I was bound and determined not to score like I did the year before. Ten Speed bicycles were a hot item and I bought myself one to cover Gem County, AND THAT I DID. I rode that bicycle, sometimes with two hand, sometimes with one, and mostly with none. Boy what an improvement. I was beating kids on foot to subscription sales. I was able to gather new ones as well as the renewals. The out of state ones rolled in nicely too. Competition was tight; it sure looked like I was going to Disneyland. Once again everyone was gathered at the paper office to hear the winner announced. Things were tense! The winner was announced. My name wasn’t called. It wasn’t called second, third, fourth, or even fifth. There must be a mistake. Then, sixth from the top, was Tee Hurd. His prize was a bicycle and a picture in the paper. At one of my former jobs, I was once again in the same situation. I put in twenty years of service and my name was mentioned in the company newspaper. I received a catalogue of prize choices including the standard watches, calculators, rings, and binoculars. Then there were the abnormal ones like luggage, silverware, digital camera kit, golf clubs, and... a bicycle. Did I say a bicycle? I had to read it twice. Twenty years got me no trip to Disneyland, but a way to show miles covered. My choice was only fitting and THAT I DID. This is my “Cup of Tee” for two feet - two pedals.

Field-In-A-Day at Minidoka National Historic Site
During World War II, baseball was a welcome respite from the hardships of war for the entire nation. Baseball played a key role in sustaining the 13,000 Japanese Americans who were incarcerated at Minidoka War Relocation Center, also known as Hunt Camp. In reading articles from the camp newspaper, it is clear that baseball served as a glue to bring people together and provided bridges to communities outside the barbed-wire fence. Baseball helped bring a sense of normalcy into their lives. Now get ready for a special project...

Idaho Conservation Youth Camp
Imagine your child on a week-long adventure where they learn to hunt, fish, and enjoy the great outdoors. If you have a child 10 to 12 years old who wants to learn outdoor skills, become certified in hunter and bowhunter education, and experience a wide variety of other fun outdoor activities, register them for the Youth Conservation Camp, August 8-12, at Trinity Pines Camp and Conference Center in Cascade, Idaho. Campers participate in hands-on learning activities in firearm safety and shooting, wildlife conservation and identification, fishing techniques, archery fundamentals, introduction to trapping, and much more in a scenic outdoor setting. The camp also includes a float down the Payette River. Idaho’s Youth Conservation Camp is sponsored and directed by the Idaho Conservation Officer’s Association and Idaho Fish and Game - the same people who manage Idaho’s fish and wildlife. Conservation officers and biologists direct the camp and lead learning opportunities in the classroom and in the field. The overall goal is to help young people learn about and cultivate a respect for Idaho’s natural resources and the people who work to protect, preserve, and perpetuate those resources. Registration is first come first served to the first 45 youth. Cost per camper is $270.00; which includes food, lodging and equipment for the week. To learn more or to register, visit the Idaho Conservation Officer Association’s Facebook page, or contact your nearest Fish and Game office.
Take Me Fishing
To help get kids excited about fishing, Idaho Fish and Game’s “Take Me Fishing” trailers will soon be making appearances at fishing holes across the state. Wrapped with vibrant fish illustrations, the trailers are stocked with fishing information and basic fishing equipment that can be checked out for free on a first-come, firstserved basis. Fish and Game staff will also be available to answer questions and help those new to the sport. “All kids and their parents have to do is show up; we’ll get them geared up and on the water,” said Evin Oneale, Fish and Game conservation educator. People of any age, whether they are residents or nonresidents, can fish without a license during the hours of the events if they register at the trailer. All other rules such as size limits and daily bag limits apply. Idaho children 13 years old and under can always fish for free. These events give any angler, youth or adult, the opportunity to try fishing without first buying a license or investing in equipment.
