Custom Soaps & Lotions Just for You
It use to be that everyone made their own soap, at home, from the things they produced themselves - lard or vegetable oil, water, lye (sodium hydroxide), and something to make it all smell good. Today, most people don’t have the knowledge or the time to engage in that sort of activity. Fortunately, there is now a business in Gooding that will do it for you. Bath N Body Boutique has been in Twin Falls for the last four and half years, but the prolonged reconstruction of the downtown area prompted the owner, Debbie Carter, to move her business to Gooding. It was also a good opportunity to include her sister-in-law, Mary Carter, in the business. When you first walk in to the little shop located next to El Cazador (534 Main Street), it might look like any other bath supply store. The difference is that everything in Bath N Body is made on site and customized just for you. With over two hundred different fragrances to choose from, you can have soap, lotion, bath salts, massage oil, and more, all with the perfect scent to complement your personal style. They even have the body powder grandma use to apply with a
small round piece of lamb’s wool. If this all sounds a little too “girly” for you men out there, Bath N Body has a special corner just for you. Come in and check out their shaving products - creams, soaps (with containers and brushes), beard oil, mustache wax, and cologne - all customized with manly aromas to set your lover aflame!
Shopping for scented gifts can be hard, but Bath N Body offers gift certificates and custom gift packaging to help you make sure your gift is something unique. Debbie and Mary are open Tuesday through Friday from 11 to 6:30 and on Saturday from 11 to 4. You can call them at 208-721-2207 or check out their facebook page.

Idaho Transportation Board Seeking Additional Information For District Office Location
The Idaho Transportation Board has approved a resolution and directed staff to investigate property options for relocating the Idaho Transportation Department District Four administrative office in the vicinity of the Interstate 84/U.S. 93 junction located in Jerome County. The direction was provided at the board’s monthly meeting in Shoshone last Thursday. The board voted 4-1 in favor of the resolution that authorizes District Four staff to develop plans to negotiate for trade or to secure property. Additionally, staff will conduct a technical review of economic data, process and conclusions of economic and social impact reports conducted over the last two years. Board member Dwight Horsch of Pocatello was the dissenting vote with Julie DeLorenzo absent from the meeting. The resolution is preliminary to a final decision by the board but will offer necessary information for discussion. “Along with all that we’ve heard today, I think we need more information to make a decision,” Transportation Board Chairman Jerry Whitehead said. The board heard from several community members, including Lincoln County Commissioner Rebecca Wood, Shoshone City Councilor Mike Wallace and District 26 Legislators, including Sen. Michelle Stennett (Ketchum), Rep. Steven Miller (Fairfield) and Rep. Sally Toone (Gooding). Testimony focused on the positives of Shoshone and Lincoln County, specifically its education system, recreational opportunities and historical significance. “I’m very sympathetic to the testimony we’ve heard today,” said Board member Jim Kempton of Albion. “This motion keeps the process open. It is not final. This will provide clarity and transparency to the process.” A timeline when the additional information will be presented to the board was not decided. The board has supported the need for construction of a new administrative office and funding for the facility is scheduled to be part of the FY2019 budget. The budget is subject to Legislative approval.
