Real Estate Trends At the Gooding Chamber meeting last Thursday, real estate experts from the Gooding area spoke about what they see happening in our area. With interest rates at a historical low, there has never been a better time to buy property. Yet, the housing market continues to limp along. To be certain, there are areas where people are buying real estate, but the overall market is disheartening. The problem is a lack of consumer confidence. People are concerned about a number of issues including unemployment, the economy, taxes, etc., and the uncertainty of these things is causing a lack of conficence in the future. This is particularly true when it comes to taking on a 20 or 30 year home loan. Mrs. Jensen from Jensen Real Estate in Hagerman said the election is having an affect on the market as well. During the last three or four Presidential elections, she has observed a significant slow down in the market during the months before the vote, and this year is no exception. On the positive side of things, the implication of this observation is that the real estate market will look better after the first of next year regardless of who is elected. Long term confidence, however, will depend on who wins. Another positive aspect of the real estate industry is that there are fewer forclosure properties on the market. These properties have been selling at rock bottom prices and that has kept market prices low. Fewer of these properties in the mix continued on page 3.....

Letter to the Editor To the person who “found” my black purse in front of the house in Fairfield. I know that no one is all bad, so think of the money as a gift. But, the rest of contents mean a lot to me, especially the keyring that has my post office key on it. My father made that keyring and he has passed away - I can’t replace it. Please return the purse, no questions will be asked. To make it easy, just leave it in the post office lobby or take it to the newspaper office. Again no questions will be asked.

Do you love Southern Gospel music? Then plan to attend the Sunday morning service (10:30 a.m.) at Gooding’s First Christian Church (334 4th Ave. West). The Blackwood Legacy is a twelve-year-old ministry carrying on the work of the late Cecil Blackwood, and the singing tradition of the original Blackwood Brothers Quartet. Headed up by Gospel Music Hall of Fame member Rick Price, a former member of the Blackwood Brothers Quartet, this group places ministry above all other priorities in their recordings and concerts. Other members include: Luke Yates, a talented pianist and baritone singer; Daniel Childs, grandson of the late Cecil Blackwood; and, the latest addition to Blackwood Legacy, tenor singer Paul Secord.
...Real Estate continued should cause prices to slowly increase. For those looking for home loans, the days of easy (little or nothing down) lending are gone due to federal regulations. This might be difficult for some, but bankers are hoping that the long term affect will be more resposible borrowers. The more equity a person has in a home or business, the less likely they will walk away from their financial obligations. Overall, the real estate people at the Gooding Chamber meeting were optomistic that things are getting better... slowly.

Tommy Webb Tommy L. Webb, 80, of Wendell, Idaho, passed away Thursday Morning June 21, 2012 at his home. Tom was born in Hugo, Colorado December 1. 1931, he was the fourth child of Russell and Hila Webb. He grew up and graduated high school there. He married Ruby Pepper in 1952; they moved to Wendell, Idaho in 1962 and raised three sons, Kirk, Monty, and Todd. Tom loved to rodeo, roping, riding rough stock, and steer wrestling. Rodeo was very important to Tom, and it’s something he would instill in his boys growing up. Tom was a rancher his whole life. He took great pride in the cattle he raised on the land permits he acquired in Wendell and Fairfield. The ranching was always a family operation. Kirk and his wife Stevia; Monty; Todd and his wife Holly; and the grandchildren all took part in ranching with him. Yearround the Webb family operated over 500 cattle on the family ranch. Tom enjoyed his family and all their help, he even joked one spring while everyone was gathered at a branding that he and Ruby had “started quite the mess 40 years ago” as he chuckled and gave a big smile. All that ranching made some very handy boys and Tom was proud to say all three sons won All-Around Cowboy honors in high school rodeo. He loved roping and rodeos and was very proud that all the grandkids followed the Webb footsteps rodeoing in High School and College. If any of them were entered at a rodeo chances are he was sitting in the stands, but if he couldn’t go he would wait by the phone for the rodeo report.

New Alanon Meeting at the Gooding Walker Center (605 11th Avenue East)
Every other Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. All are welcome! Questions? Call MaryLou 934-5380 The Al-Anon Family Group is a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope, in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness, and that changed attitudes can aid recovery.
Tom and Ruby were also very successful in the chariot races, traveling many miles and winning many races. Tom would race the horses and Ruby would make sure the team was outfitted to impress, even winning “Best Groomed Team”. Tom loved his teams and knew each one so well he even had one horse he could get to stretch his nose out just before the finish line, some announcers deemed him Ol’ Eagle Eye. Along with his ranching Tom kept very busy. He worked for the Twin Falls Livestock Commission as field man and yard boss. Tom and Ruby also lead a local 4-H group for 10 years. He was a member of several associations including the Southern Idaho Draft Horse and Mule Association, Idaho Cattle Association, and BLM Grazing Advisory Board. Tom’s years of service did not go unnoticed, in 1995 he was inducted into the Southern Idaho Livestock Hall of Fame. And in 2007 all the years he dedicated to the rodeo arena were recognized when he was inducted into the Idaho Legends of Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame at the Gooding County Fair. Tom and Ruby spent many winters down in Arizona and one of his proudest moments came when he was 70 years old and he won a saddle in the team roping! He is survived by his wife Ruby of 59 years, Kirk & Stevia, Monty, and Todd & Holly all of Wendell. Also surviving are six grandkids; Dan, Rob, Nichole, Amy, Ty, Garrett, and seven greatgrandchildren. He is also survived by two sisters, Betty Vance of Salt Lake City, Utah and Margie Huff of Columbia, South Carolina and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and one sister. The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, a memorial be made to the 5th district high school rodeo scholarship fund. Funeral services will be held today (Wednesday, June 27, 2012) at 10:30 a.m. at the New Life Community Church in Wendell. Burial will follow at the Wendell Cemetery.

Stock Up On Information & Good Supplies For a Busy Home Canning Season TWIN FALLS - It’s looking like this might be one of the biggest years for home food preservation we’ve seen in recent history. The slow-and-local food movements are growing and more and more people not only want to grow their own food, but preserve it too. Home canning can be complicated if not done correctly and local food safety experts are urging fledging canners to be prepared and do some research before starting. “This time of year we see people start picking up canning supplies at yard sales with hopes of starting to can,” said University of Idaho Extension Educator, Rhea Lanting. “That can be a great way to get started, but the equipment needs to be safe.” Lanting recommends pressure canner lids be tested before beginning every canning season. Most of the Magic Valley counties will host pressure canning testing events throughout the next few months. Lanting asks that consumers clean the lids so they’re free of dirt before bringing the lids for testing and make sure the rubber gaskets are brought in for inspection as well. Water bath canners don’t need testing, but should be clean and free of rust and holes. Jars and rings should also be clean and free of rust and chips. Lids should be new with soft rubber seals. “Sometimes we see people trying to recycle their grandmother’s 30-yearold canning lids. They simply aren’t safe to use anymore,” Lanting said. Also not safe: wax paraffin seals, or canning without processing in a water bath or pressure canner. Lanting said research improves every year and technology changes. She recommends finding new, USDA tested recipes. “We can usually find something comparable to the old family recipes,” Lanting said. There are “Master Food Preservers/Food Safety Specialists” in each county. They are volunteers available to answer questions or to teach canning to small groups – usually for only the cost of supplies, if needed. She also cautions finding recipes on-line. While there are great Web sites with safe recipes out there, there are also a lot of really dangerous recipes out there. Lanting recommends checking those recipes with the Extension service or one of the Master Food Preservers. “We’re expecting this to be a busy canning season,” Lanting said. “We’re telling folks to stock up on good lids and other supplies. But more importantly, we want them to stock up on good recipes and information.” Call your County Extension Office for more information or to get in touch with the Master Food Preserver in your county.

To promote a safe means of ingress and egress for vehicular and emergency vehicles to and within hillside areas while at the same time minimizing the scarring effects of hillside street construction. Roads shall follow natural topography wherever possible to minimize cutting and grading. d. Imaginative and innovative building techniques should be encouraged to create buildings suited to natural hillside surroundings. SECTION B. APPEARANCE AND PRESERVATION 1.
