May 19th Election
This Friday, May 1st, Idaho will start to open up from the Covid-19 shutdown. However, this will NOT change the “Vote from Home” primary election. You still need to apply for an absentee ballot by May 19th, but you have until June 2nd to return the ballot. Along with several contested races for elected officials, there are levy elections voters will be considering. The Hagerman Fire Protection District is requesting a temporary override levy in the amount of $125,000 for two years. The estimated annual cost of this proposed levy is $70 per $100,000 of taxable property value. In 2013 the HFPD agreed to take on the Hagerman Quick Response Unit (QRU), but no extra funding was provided for the added service to the community. Over the last ten years, the HFPD has averaged 4 to 5 EMS calls and about 2 fire calls per week. Without coverage from the Hagerman QRU, the average response time from the nearest hospital ambulance service is at best 25 minutes (once a call is made to 911). Average response time for the Hagerman Fire Department and QRU is 5 to 8 minutes. This levy will provide funds needed to continue and improve QRU and fire protection services. If approved, the increase in the levy will be used to pay for: 24/7 QRU staff, coverage for firefighters and wages, training, new and updated equipment, medical supplies, etc. In Wendell, School District 232 is asking for a two-year supplemental levy in the amount of $600,000 per year. This is a renewal of an existing levy and will not increase current taxes. Part of these funds will be used for salaries/benefits and curriculum needs. The majority of the funds ($355k) will be used for maintenance of school facilities (heating & AC, fire suppression, floors, paint, parking lot, etc.) as well as security needs - cameras, lighting and fencing. The supplemental levy provides for the short term needs, but the Wendell School District is also facing long term concerns. While most of the district’s buildings are in fair to good condition, the gymnasium and the high school welding/mantenance shop are in desparated need of improvements. According to their “Ten Year Facilities Plan - 2019 to 2029,” the district will need almost $7 million to update district buildings and bring them up to required standards. Enrolement in the Wendell School District has been sporadic over the last few years - five years of 1% growth along with one year of 4% loss - but with building capacities at 94%, there is concern that the district will not be able to provide space for students if the community grows. The Ten Year Facilities Plan can be found on the district’s website: www.sd232.k12.id.us click on the community tab at the top of the page.

Controlled Hunt Applications Open May 1st With New Rule for Elk Hunters
by Roger Phillips, Public Information Supervisor
Applications for controlled deer, elk, pronghorn and fall bear hunts run May 1st through June 5th. Elk hunters are reminded that new for 2020, there is a five-day waiting period to buy capped elk zone tags for any resident who applies for a controlled elk hunt regardless of whether the person draws the controlled hunt tag. Some controlled hunts are exempt from the waiting period, including Super Hunts, extra elk hunts, depredation hunts or Landowner Appreciation Program hunts. Establishing a waiting period for elk controlled hunt applicants is designed to reduce the initial demand for first-come, first-served capped zone elk tags when they go on sale in July. Sales history shows many elk hunters who bought capped elk zone tags had previously applied for controlled hunts.

Cup of Tee
A few weeks ago, when we got our snow the weather forecasters overlooked, I was mowing some pasture in Fairfield. It was around 4:00 in the afternoon when the temperature dropped and it looked like a possible short rain/snow storm. I said, “Tee, be patient and wait before you mow. It will blow over and you won’t be wet, you’ll miss the snow.” I waited and I missed the rain turned snow. I worked until about dark. Then I stopped in town to get a hot sandwich to go. While eating the sandwich at the park, it started to rain. Then it turned to snow. Once again I missed the snow. I was nice and dry. Upon finishing my sandwich, I headed toward New Plymouth, Idaho - a few hours away driving time. As I went down the canyon at Cat Creek, I ran out of the snow. That was good. I once again missed the snow, and now I am ahead of it. From nowhere, a cow elk came up onto the road. I locked up the brakes on my little Ford Ranger pickup and was laying black marks to stop. We both shared the same piece of road. It looked like she was coming through the windshield. I hit the elk and my headlights and grille were taken

out. The truck hood was bent up at one corner. I got back up on the flat and the authorities were called, as well as my friend, Marc Schmidt, to help me get back to Fairfield. As we were going down the road near Corral, Idaho, Marc swerved. I thought, “Oh no! I’m going to hit another elk, or a deer” since I was following him. Marc bumped a skunk and by the time I passed by, the skunk was upright and poised for action. The “Oh No” was me thinking I going to get sprayed. The skunk sprayed the whole side of my truck. The smell made me want to vomit. Once in Fairfield, to borrowed one of Marc’s vehicles to go to New Plymouth, I forgot to roll my driver’s side window down. Because my driver’s door handle is broken, I have to open the passenger door to get in to get my stuff out of the pickup. I had to go to my knees because of the spray. By the time I was able to leave, it was snowing hard. It was a white out with snow all the way to Mountain Home. I guess I was bound to get the snow that I thought I beat several times. Since my elk and skunk endeavor, the guys at work call me STRIPED ELK. This is my snow cone “Cup of Tee.”
Last week, I said I didn’t have a winner for the 25# of beans. I had overlooked an entry from Beverly Boyer in Gooding. She had used the letter, stamp, and postal method, and still had her entry in on time. Old school still works. Once again... my apologies. The question for this week was, “I have been an instructor for many things, but I have NEVER been this: A. Swimming Instructor B. Dancing Instructor C. Roller Skating Instructor If you answered any of the choices, you were right. I have not instructed any of these things. 63% of you answered “swimming” instructor, 27% “dancing” instructor, and 10% roller skating. All of the entries were thrown in a hat, and this week’s winner (drawn from a hat full of winners) is Ben Hulet. Thank you all for the little “Pad Your Pantry” contest. It has been fun for the last few weeks. Tee Hurd

US-93 Traffic Change This Week
1-208-246-9999 • Wednesday, April 29, 2020 • The Courier NEWS
SHOSHONE - Traffic flow is expected to change Monday, April 27 on US-93 between 200 S Road and 300 S Road in Jerome County. This is part of the ongoing US-93 widening project, which will see the highway transition from two lanes to four to increase mobility and traffic flow in the area. “We will be placing temporary traffic signals at both ends of the project early next week,” said ITD South-central Idaho Project Manager Sam Purser. “While these signals are in place, crews will tie the newly constructed southbound lanes into the existing highway.” Temporary signals will be utilized for approximately three to four weeks. The intersection at US93/200 South will also be closed during this time to allow for the construction of new turn bays. Motorists can anticipate minor delays and are encouraged to plan ahead if commuting through the area. In addition to the signals, construction signage, candlesticks, and barrels will also be in place to safely direct those traveling through the work zone. Drivers are advised to use caution and watch for workers and heavy equipment entering and exiting the highway. “This project will improve safety at the US-93/200 South intersection for both passenger and commercial vehicles,” explained Purser. “The end result will be a divided highway similar to what drivers encounter two miles south of this area.”

"Gratitude Changes Everything" from First Lady Teresa Little This is a time of trial, tribulation and uncertainty; no doubt about it.
We have come to fully realize the severity the coronavirus and the impact of its shock wave on our health, families, Idaho, the United States of America and our world. The rhythm and certainty of our lives has changed. During this time, when someone we love dies, we are not able to grieve and celebrate their lives with family and friends. We are unable to share the joyful celebrations of marriages, birthdays and graduations. Jobs have vanished, businesses are closing, and many may not reopen. Years of economic progress have disappeared. There are hungry children. There are frightened individuals. However... hope, faith, strength, gratitude and love are found in abundance. Individuals, institutions and companies are working tirelessly to figure out our best path forward: to understand COVID-19 and to develop tests, treatments and a vaccine for it. They are doing the same on the economic and social services fronts. All best practices and creative solutions are being explored. Our own intellect and imagination are part of the solution. Please do not hesitate to put your helpful idea forward. Let me share a few stories of inspiration I have come across in recent weeks. In early March, Jeanne Helmich Combest could see the need for masks was looming. Her daughter found a link with a pattern and video at that time. A 90-year-old quilter friend donated a lot of fabric to Jeanne. Her first 19 masks went to her niece who is a nurse. The second 15 went

Patrick James Riley
Patrick James Riley (Pat) passed away on April 15th, 2020, following complications from a surgery. Pat left us to join his beloved wife Laura, who passed away in June, 2019. Pat was born August 24th, 1946 in Gooding, Idaho to Venna and Ralph Riley Jr. of Richfield, Idaho. He was raised in Richfield, Idaho where he lived most of his life. He graduated from Richfield High School in 1966 and attended Idaho State University as an engineering and drafting and design student. Pat married Patricia Mary Jacobson in 1968 and they later divorced. They were the parents of Mary-Shannon Riley. In addition to his studies and his family life, Pat worked full-time as a night watchman at S&A Fabrication in Pocatello, where he was later hired as a Draftsman. Pat enjoyed the focus and precision required by that work, qualities he would later carry with him as he formed his own drafting and construction business with his son Shean Riley. In 1970 Pat returned to Richfield to work on the Riley family ranch, and later took up farming his own land. He married Laura Rae Anderson in 1971 and they were the parents of Casey, Gabriel and Shean Riley. In addition to farming, Pat worked for a time for the American Breeders Association, a job that took him around the country and to Europe, in addition to supporting ranchers close to home. He worked for Mountain State Construction and with his Sluder cousins, before starting his own business around 1995. During this time he built many homes and buildings throughout the Magic Valley. He was well known for his beautiful cabinetry work which is the centerpiece of his own home in Richfield, where he lived with his wife and son Shean for the last 20+ years of his life. He served many years as Building Inspector for the cities of Belview, Fairfield and Richfield. Patrick loved the Idaho landscape. He was happiest exploring the desert, and knew where to find the most interesting caves and rock formations. His siblings and cousins have fond memories of Pat’s pranks. He never minded his younger siblings tagging along with him and they enjoyed many adventures aboard makeshift rafts on the farm pond, or water skiing behind a pick-up truck on the canals. Pat was a cheerful morning person, saying that the best things happened before the rest of the world was awake. Pat was an excellent cook and gardener and enjoyed growing and canning his own food. Many kitchen projects were orchestrated by he and Laura over the years. He was an avid gun collector and fisherman and formed many memories with his kids and grandkids fishing and hunting critters in the desert. He was always helping out with projects, and loved to show others how to do things and was (usually) patient and encouraging. In the final years of his life, Pat continued to work for the City of Richfield as Inspector and Planning and Zoning Administrator. He always kept his connection to the family ranch, regularly helping his brother Rod with his cattle. The most important work of Pat’s life was his devoted care of his wife Laura, whom he lovingly attended until her death less than one year ago. Patrick was a devoted family man who always let us know we were loved. He had a deep intelligence and humor that he carried with simple, down-to-earth grace. We are grateful for the time we had with him and the memories he left us. He leaves behind four children, Mary-Shannon Riley (Jonathan Edwards), Casey Riley (Tami), Gabriel Riley and Shean Riley; four grandchildren, Kelsi Jo Heath (Griffin), Brett Riley, Jade Riley, Chase Riley and Caleb Edwards; two great grand-children, Vynn and Enzo Heath; four siblings, Linda Jaynes (Charlie), Kathleen Loynd (Gail), Rod Riley (Kate), and Joanne Duffin (Stanley); sister and brother-in law Rex Anderson and Yvonne Gage; his beloved parents Venna and Ralph Riley Jr.; and many cousins, nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grandnephews, extended family and friends whose lives he touched and who will miss him deeply. His wishes were for cremation arrangements and inturment at the Shoshone Cemetery. A celebration of life memorial will be announced for a date later this summer.

Ward Clifford Toone

obit ua ry
Ward Clifford Toone, 71, passed away on Friday, April 17, 2020 at his home in Gooding after a hardfought battle with cancer for eight years. He was born on March 18, 1949 in Wendell, Idaho to Clifford and Rose (Meyer) Toone. He spent his childhood years living in Gooding and worked on the family farm at Willow Creek and Fairfield area. When the farm work was completed for the day, he spent a lot of his time at the city pool. He graduated from Gooding High School in 1967, where he participated in 9th grade basketball, and four years of football and track. After high school Ward attended the University of Idaho and played football his freshman year and graduated with a B.S. degree in Education. In high school he met the love of his life, Joleen Giese and they married on August 13, 1974. On October 9, 1987 Ward and Joleen brought their daughter Brittanie into the world. Ward and Brittanie had a special bond, she was a bright light in his life. He was her biggest supporter and #1 fan in all of her sports and activities. He taught math and coached football and wrestling at Gooding High School for 25 years, along with working at the state wrestling tournaments. Having a love for farming and ranching landed him a job at Sliman and Butler as a parts salesman. He worked there for 18 years and was still going to work as long as his health allowed which was a week before his death. Ward was an early riser and would get to work to have coffee with the farmers and employees. Ward’s hobbies included riding his bike, running the score clock for the middle school and high school football games, and reading western, history of the area, and every Louis L’Amour book more than once. He also enjoyed camping trips with fishing and hiking at Redfish Lake and Anderson Ranch Reservoir. Holiday gatherings were another favorite time, Thanksgiving with trap shooting, Christmas in Sun Valley with the sleigh ride, games, and sleepovers. Family trips to Seattle, Salt Lake, and Denver to watch professional sports, as well as trips to Alaska, Texas, Florida, Arizona, Tennessee, New York, Boston and Philadelphia. Ward was a quiet, laid back, gentle soul but if you happened to make him mad, he let you know about it. He was quick witted and could joke with the best of them. Ward was a man of few words but he always let you know he cared. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Joleen, and daughter, Brittanie Toone. Survivors also includes his sister, Nancy (Rod) Hohnhorst, his brother, Mark (Sally) Toone and their children Cliff and Tara Toone (Payton and Brad), Steven and Melissa Toone (Tripp and Weston), In-laws Jerry (Julie) Giese and their daughters Morgan Giese and Alix Giese, Johnny Giese and his children J.R. Giese and Rachell Giese, Joyce (Ken) Pratt and their children Nicole Pratt and Kenny Pratt. He is preceded in death by his parents, Clifford and Rose, in-laws Jack and Joan Giese, brother in-law Jim Giese, and nephew Boe Toone. A celebration of life will be held at a later date during the summer with details to come. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Gooding High School Athletics. 1050 7th Ave West, Gooding, ID 83330. Arrangements by Demaray Funeral Service - www.demarayfuneralservice.com

Kenneth Brown, 78, a resident of Wendell, passed away on Saturday, April 18, 2020 at his home in Wendell. Kenneth Raymond Brown was born in Los Angeles, California, on June 23, 1941, to Lorraine Eleanor Morris Brown. Two years later, Ken's younger brother, Ronald Vernon Brown, was born. Soon afterwards, Ken and Ron's parents divorced. Ken had no memory at all of his mother. When Ken was 10 years old his father married Florence Pascoe, who loved and cherished Ken and his younger brother. A devoted son, Ken was always eager to be of any help to her; and true to his nature, was always kind and thoughtful of her. Ken and Ron had a very special relationship, which developed during their early childhood years when they both experienced feelings of uncertainty, confusion, and insecurity. They were protective of each other and grew up enjoying a very close companionship which continued for the rest of Ken's life. Ken frequently gave his siblings counsel that proved very helpful in their lives. Ken's dad and new mom had two children together: Gary Stanley and Susan Florence. Ken was the best big brother to them. From the very beginning of Ken's life, he worked very hard. He and Ron had a paper route together. Later, at the age 18, Ken worked for Mr. Garmin, who operated a business manufacturing stencils. Ken drove all over Southern California selling stencils to businesses and schools. is work ethic produced some success for Ken and Mr. Garmin. When Ken was 19 years old, he married Sharon Jo William. They had four children together: Kenneth Robert, Charles Louis, Brenda Jo, and Daniel Evan. They have 9 grandchildren. Ken and Sharon later divorced. The aerospace industry was booming in the Los Angeles are in the early 1960's and Ken went to work for Rocket Dyne where, with some training, he began his career as a machine programmer. He possessed a strong gift of understanding everything mechanical. He was truly brilliant, ingenious, creative and meticulous with anything mechanical. He loved machines of all kinds. He could repair anything, and if he didn't know how, he would learn how. Always generous with his time and means; he was happy and patient sharing his expertise with others. His career took him to Bountiful, Utah, in 1981, where he worked for E-Systems (Raytheon). In March of 1993, Ken married Karlee Hopkin Ellison, where he became a father to Joel Ellison, Brian Ellison (deceased), Doug Ellison,Chris Ellison, Julie Cooper (Kim), and nine grandchildren. Upon Ken's retirement in 2001, he and Karlee purchased the Wendell Laundromat and moved to Wendell. Using his mechanical skills, Ken kept all the machines in running condition. Wendell was a comfortable place for Ken and Karlee, and he loved the local residents. Ken was fortunate to have Karlee by his side. She has been his loving, hard-working, devoted companion - just an amazing and faithful soul who cared for Ken wisely and lovingly to the end. Ken accepted his nearing death graciously. Ken was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was his responsibility to lock up and secure the meeting house every night. True to form, he was the epitome of reliability and thoroughness. Ken was a good man. He lived his life with unfailing integrity, a generous heart, kindness, frugality, self-sufficiently, and a hilarious dry with and sense of humor. More than anything, he loved his family. He is loved dearly, and we will miss him until we meet again. A private family service was held on Friday, April 24, 2020, at the Wendell Cemetery.

...Gratitude Changes Everything continued
to an assisted living facility. Family, close friends, military families and cancer patients have been given masks. She has made 80 masks to date. Terri Curry, President of the Boise Basin Quilters, a group with 400 members throughout the Treasure Valley reports they began sewing masks the middle of March to fill a need at the VA Hospital (500 masks). They have currently supplied over 4,000 masks to hospitals, nursing homes, hospice workers, surgical centers and police officers. A member who lives in McCall is filling the need there. The quilters donated four bags of fabric to the Idaho Department of Correction for the mask sewing they have begun. Terri has personally made 683 masks! Anita Allex aka “Rosie The Mask-inator” is the descendant of Revolutionary War Patriots. She is the spouse and mother of former Army and police officers. She fully appreciates the need to protect the health of men and women who serve us daily. She has helped coordinate the efforts of women within her church and her chapter of the DAR. Anita has sewn over 500 masks and prepared over 200 kits to distribute to people without the needed supplies but the desire to help. The VA Medical Center, St. Al’s Hospital, family and friends have been the beneficiaries. Her DAR Eagle chapter, church friends and others total is 2700 to date. The contributions of time and talent by these and the multitude of other mask makers across our state are being met with much gratitude. Uncertainty should not be a reason for inaction. Ask yourself what you might do that is meaningful, helpful and productive and then do it. Accomplishing a concrete task helps us feel in control; even at a time when many things remain out of our control.
Gratitude, love, strength, faith, hope and patience to you ... and to all.
