News Gooding Veterinary Clinic
Gem Veterinary Clinic has been at 238 Main Street in Gooding since the 1960s. The clinic building has gone through several renovations over the years, but it has always been a reliable and safe place to bring pets in need of a little help. In 2009, Jack Amen took over the clinic from Fineas Hughbanks, and in March of this year, Dr. Aman retired after turning over the clinic to its newest veterinarian, Dr. Amber Parish. Dr. Parish graduated from Washington State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2016, and immediately landed a job in Mountain Home with Knight Veterinary Clinic.
Dr. Parish and Abigail Burk with their arms full of new friends.
When her husband, Jake, took an accounting job with France, Basterrechea, Wagner & Bunn in Gooding (now Eide Bailly LLP), Amber was approached about purchasing Gem Veterinary Clinic. It took about a year of planning, but it was a great opportunity to move their family closer to home. To make it her own, the business now has a new name - Gooding Veterinary Clinic. On the inside, however, very little has changed. Animals of all kinds still receive the best care possible thanks to skilled staff who know the best medicine for our small furry friends is just a little love.

West Nile Virus Found In Gooding County Mosquitos
South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) officials and the Twin Falls County Pest Abatement District (TFCPAD) confirm traps, just south of Hagerman, collected several mosquitos last week that are known to carry the West Nile virus and it is likely virus-positive mosquitos are in surrounding areas. Health Officials are also investigating a possible human case of West Nile virus, if confirmed this would be the first human case in the area this year. The patient has not yet required hospitalization. “Our surveillance of mosquitoes helps provide an early warning of West Nile virus in the area. It serves as a reminder to people to eliminate mosquito habitat where possible and avoid the insect when they are most active at dusk and dawn,” said Kirk Tubbs, Twin Falls County Pest Abatement District Manager. Public Health officials remind residents to protect themselves and their families from mosquito bites by: •Using insect repellents, especially at dawn and dusk when mosquitos are most active. •Wearing loose-fitting clothes with long sleeves and pants. •Installing screens on all windows and doors. •Checking for, and draining, any standing water around the home every three to six days. Typical symptoms of the virus include fever, headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, and rash. People over 50 years old or with serious medical conditions, are at greater risk for serious illness from the virus. More severe infections may involve the central nervous system, or even death.

Tommie Lewis Patton
Tommie L Patton passed away peacefully July 17th, 2018. Tommie was born October 29th, 1934 to Lewis & Lucie Dean Harbert Patton in Concord, California. He married Connie Reeves December 18th, 1955 in Merrill, Oregon. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Los Angeles LDS Temple. Dad did many things during his life time; everything from participating in rodeo - riding bulls and bareback horses, serving on the local school board while living in Montana, to being a certified softball umpire - spending many evenings on the softball field. Dad worked on Purebred cattle ranches in Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho, Nebraska and Virginia. He showed cattle from Baltimore to San Francisco, Calgary to Mississippi and all points in between. He showed many champions including National Champions in multiple breeds. One of his greatest accomplishments was being the first person to earn Herdsman of the Year in both the Angus and Polled Hereford Associations, a feat rarely duplicated since. After suffering a broken neck in a ranching accident, Dad became a long haul truck driver for almost 20 years and traveled many, many miles across the United States. During this time he discovered his talent of writing and memorizing cowboy poetry. He had an amazing gift to not only write poems but to memorize them as well. He often did this on his long road trips. He was awarded the Silver Quill Award from the Cowboy Poets of Idaho for his skills. He loved sharing them with others; when people came to visit they would often request a poem from him. He continued to entertain people with this special talent until the end. Dad was an avid sports fan and was a devoted supporter of his children and grandchildren’s sporting events. He loved attending and when circumstances wouldn’t allow, he called after every game for a recap. Dad also served faithfully in his church callings, and especially loved teaching the youth of the church and has kept in contact with a large number of those he taught. Tommie is preceded in death by his parents and wife, Connie. He is survived by his 4 children, Becki (Brian) Teerlink – Waynesboro, VA, Mike (Julie) Patton – Gooding, ID, John (Karen) Patton – Spring Creek, NV, and Don (Valerie) Patton – Roy, UT; 11 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren and 1 brother, Jerry (Jeanie) Patton. The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Hospice Visions for their loving and kind care. Services were held on Saturday, July 21, 2018. Interment was at Gooding’s Elmwood Cemetery. Condolences, memories and photos may be shared at demarayfuneralservice.com.

Marvin Wageman
Marvin Wageman, 77, of Gooding, was called home on May 29, 2018 in Boise. He was born on July 31, 1940, the youngest of seven children born to Chris and Kate Wageman. Most of his growing years were spent on the family farm located in North Shoshone. While gaining knowledge of the agricultural world from hands on experience he found time to pursue his lifelong love of hunting, fishing and horses. The love and knowledge of horses came from his Uncle Fred Wageman. Marvin met Norma Gentry, his childhood sweetheart in 7th grade science class. They were married October 30, 1959 at the First Baptist Church in Gooding, Idaho. They welcomed three children to their family: Dirk, Tammy and Randy. Life was busy supporting the children in their various sport endeavors and family fishing trips. After living in California and Washington respectively they relocated back to Gooding and lived on the Gentry family farm. Although Marvin worked a full-time job, he and Norma helped Grandpa Harold and Grandma Rose with the farming. It was during the hay season (when Marv and family friend Jerry Roby were hauling hay) it was discovered that while Grandpa rocked and rolled them almost off of the back of the truck, Norma had a hidden talent of being a smooth operator of said hay truck. Sorry Grandpa but you are fired! Marvin worked at Blincoe Packing Plant until its closure. He then went to work at the Volco Building Supply which became Franklin’s until his retirement. He continued to manage the small farm raising hay and horses. Marvin and Norma suffered the loss of their son Randy from a farming accident in 1975. He became a caregiver to his sweetheart during her fight with cancer. That fight ended in May 2006. He is survived by: his son, Dirk (Kerry) Wageman – grandson, Josh (Christa) Wageman and great-granddaughter, Mia; his daughter, Tammy; his very loving sister, Loretta (Bob McDowell - brother of his heart); his oldest brother, Harold (Velma) Wageman; his kind-hearted brother-in-laws, Gene (Marge) Gentry and Dale (Cynthia) Gentry. A celebration of life was held on Tuesday, July 31, 2018 at the First Baptist Church in Gooding, Idaho. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a contribution to the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund, justincowboycrisisfund.org or First Baptist Church Stairlift Chair Fund. Cremation arrangements were under the direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.

Cup of Tee
As I was flat out of time to fix my flat at Les Schwab’s in John Day, Oregon, they decided to stay late and help get my tire fixed on my Kenworth truck. In the last couple week’s “Cup of Tee” you found my semi-truck had been stolen from Idaho, found in John Day, and released to me to take home. After I had my flat repaired, I found that Canyon County, Idaho, had not followed up with my paperwork release, and my truck was still registered as stolen and that my trailer wasn’t registered as stolen at all. Now I was driving a truck stolen from me, still being looked for, and leading me into the dark of night. Somehow, this combination of events isn’t anything I planned on. Once I was going down the road, I got the call that my truck was released out of the stolen vehicle system. That took about two pounds of worry off of me. At least I would not be going to jail because thieves caused me problems with my own truck. Things seemed to be rolling along fine until I was crossing over the grade outside of Prairie City, Oregon. All of a sudden I heard a loud bang. My air to activate the functions of my truck was completely gone and my trailer breaks were locked with smoke boiling out of them. I was able to get my truck/trailer off the road in a corner of the road. I couldn’t find any leaks anywhere (and of course, it was at right at dark). I thought I blew and air compressor. My friend Fred and my mom who were following me, drove back to Prairie City to find some services. None were available on Friday night! Roadrunner Towing Service out of Baker City, Oregon, was called for me. They were told where we were and that there was no cell service where I was. Hours went by - NO wrecker service! Did they get lost?! After all they were only 60 miles away. A couple of County officers put the lights on my truck. This was not good since all my safety triangles were stolen out of my truck as well. They said, “You must be the lost truck we are looking for.” “I’m not lost,” I told them. “I have been sitting here for multiple hours waiting for a wrecker.” “They called us and have not left. They have some questions for you.” The officers loaded me into the car and we went over the

mountain to get cell service. I called the wrecker company and asked them where the dickens they were, and that they were told I would have no cell service.” Their reply was, “Did you smoke your trailer brakes?” I told them smoke was boiling out of my trailer up until I came to a stop. They they replied, “We don’t feel we could stop you truck and trailer with just one wrecker. We suggest one wrecker for the truck and one for the trailer.” I told them, “I have a safety issue with my truck sitting in a corner. I need to be safe. If I need two trucks, get them here!” Hours later two semi wreckers arrived. We charged my truck with air and found only a blown fitting I couldn’t feel or see in the dark (perfect reason to leave originally in the daylight). When they arrived, I ended up with more problems. I now had a broken radiator hose and my truck was pouring water like a waterfall. I got water in my truck and took it, and the trailer, on the truck’s own power about 5 miles down the road to the junction to Baker City. The wreckers followed me to the junction where I found my service charge was $1000, and they wanted another $1000 to tow my truck to Baker City. For fixing an air leak and following me for 5 miles after being on the roadside for 6 plus hours, I couldn’t deal with anymore of their expense. I sent them down the road. I filled my truck with water headed to Unity, Oregon. Once in Unity in the early hours of the morning, we got motel rooms and assessed situation after a few hours of sleep. With close inspection I found my water pump was pouring water out a weephole and I had a broken hose in addition to my alternator cutting one of my metal radiator lines. Once again my truck was having issues getting home. Left the truck in Unity and came home. Two days later I came back, fixed the metal line, and found the water pump bolts were rusted in. I wasn’t going to be stranded there by breaking bolts. I drove a piece of wood I whittled into the weephole on the water pump and drove it home to repair with adequate tools. It’s been a long road until my truck was stolen until it was home. Although the contents of my trailer ere gone, I was thankful for my truck’s return. This is my “Cup of Tee” by the truck load.
