RT Automotive in Wendell

After spending several years in Mountain Home with the Air Force, Rick Parker spent nearly 30 years with Lithia Dodge Chrysler in Twin Falls. While working his way up the ladder of the repair shop and learning all the ins and outs of being a dealer mechanic, he gathered a close-knit group of friends that shared his passion for automobiles.

Along with making friends, the desire to move away from dealership repairs and step out on his own opened the doors to a new repair shop in Kimberly. In the summer of 2021, RT Automotive was born. Work poured in and they soon discovered the Kimberly space was too small. A year later they found the old Harbaugh Motor building in Wendell and made the move to smaller town and bigger building.

Between three guys, they have over 60 years of combined experience in the automotive service and repair industry - including domestic, import, and exotics such as Porsche and Lamborghini. A recent addition to the team has increased their combined experience to nearly 80 years. More importantly, their reputation for honest reliable work has kept customers coming in from far and wide.

The Wendell shop is located at 465 North Idaho Street (across from the Napa store). While the front lobby is full of old trucks, they don't do restoration work (unless it's their own), nor do they do body work. But... everything else they can handle - from little cars to your big pickup - the RT Automotive team is ready to make sure your vehicle can go the extra mile.

Fairfield Planning & Zoning

Drafting New Comprehensive Plan

It has been nearly 20 years since the City of Fairfield has officially updated their Comprehensive Plan. Next Tuesday, January 10, the Fairfield P&Z Commission will hold a public hearing to consider changes and to hear public comments on the document.

Over the last ten years, Idaho has experienced tremendous growth in it's urban areas. Our smaller Idaho communities have been affected by that growth as well, but the challenge of providing services is harder in small towns. Even a small subdivision can create difficult problems if there is no Comprehensive Plan in place for community development. Unfortunately, planning documents are often set on the shelf to gather dust until someone walks in with a big idea. That's when we discover those documents are out-of-date and inadequate for the community's needs. Fairfield's Comprehensive Plan is not totally inadequate, but it needs updating.

The Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan for short) is not law, but is a required planning document under Idaho Code 67-6508. Idaho Code outlines 17 areas of local land use planning that need to addressed, although, not all of these components are applicable to cities the size of Fairfield. Some of the components include: Private Property Rights, School Facilities, Economic Development, Public Services, Hazardous Areas, Community Design, and the big one... Land Use.

Comp Plans are designed to be a snap-shot of where things are today along with ideas on how to maintain the good things in a community, as well as addressing the needs of the future (i.e. planning). A Comp Plan is often looked at as a roadmap to community growth, and frustratingly, growth that may or may not happen. This sometimes leads to the belief that growth will never happen. However, the downside of not having a good "roadmap" is that growth is often dictated by developers rather than the people living in the community.

Residents of Fairfield can view a copy of the Draft Comp Plan at the Fairfield City Office (407 Soldier Road), or online at: www.cityoffairfieldidaho.com. Goto the "Planning & Zoning Department" tab under departments and click on the words "Click Here to View". Written comments can be sent to the P&Z Administrator at pandzfairfield@frontier.com or mailed to: PO Box 336 - Fairfield, Idaho 83327.

Cup of Tee by Tee Hurd

© Just prior to Christmas, I was driving through Ontario, Oregon. My eyes were drawn to a cafe tucked away in a little mini-mall. I had noticed its whereabouts earlier, but before I had driven by and never saw it. I decided to stop and give the cafe a try.

Snow had fallen the night before and the parking lot was covered with snow. Finding a specific parking space was a little hard. I parked the truck in what appeared to be some kind of order and walked up to the door. Table were full of customers. I grabbed the door handle and it was locked! Maybe today was a private party.

I tried the door again only to see a sign, "Please use other door." Things were a little easier when I did the right procedure to get in.

I stopped to look at the round rotating pie rack, then sat at the counter and asked for a breakfast type menu. When I asked if the pies were homemade, the answer was yes. I said, "While I'm waiting for my breakfast, I will eat a piece of banana cream pie." The pie and breakfast were good. Not many mom and pop type restaurants are around any more.

The next day I had some more business to do in Ontario, but first on the list was a trip to the diner. I walked in, using the correct door this time. I stopped and looked at the pie counter. It was full of choices with many being full pies. An elderly gentleman was sitting at the counter near the rotating pie holder. I told him, "Boy, there

is a lot of choices. It's kind of hard to chose a single one I want."

The elderly gentleman dressed in nice western wear said to me, "I have worked throughout the years at a lot of ranches. Many served a pie that was to die for. Even on my own ranch, I had a small way to make the best pie choice."

At that moment I knew I was about to get some old cowboy wisdom. I was open to hear it, afterall, a good pie is the product of one's harvest and labor of love. To me a good pie is what holds a ranch's kitchen together.

The older cowboy type figure proceeded to tell me, "Always go for the round pie. There is so much more flavor to be enjoyed."

I ate my meal and ordered my pie in reverse (to be eaten last instead of first). I got up and place my hand on the guy's shoulder and thanked him for the best decision on choosing the correct pie... the round one.

As we are in a new year, one should enjoy the whole year as opposed to a slice of it. Let the round (or whole) pie be a helping decision in your events for the new year.

This is my “Cup of Tee” with my eye on the round pie for the upcoming year.

Happy New Year!

obituary

James Albert Rowe

James Albert (a.k.a. "Jim" or "JR") Rowe, 83, of Gooding, ID, passed away on Friday, December 16, 2022, at home, with his loving daughter by his side. JR was a friend of many words, few strangers, full of love, and an unforgettable soul. As badly as he wanted to finish his book about trucks, send truck photos across the country, and make it to the next truck show, he just ran out of miles.

James was born on January 25, 1939 to John Oliver and Lillian Barrett Wood Rowe in Woodland, CA. Along with his two brothers and three sisters, he grew up on the family dairy "Innisfail" in Davis, CA showing their prized Milking Shorthorns across the nation. Many stories have been told about traveling by train, show barn shenanigans, and even a monkey hiding out with the cows.

James received an Honorable Discharge from the United States Air Force Reserves as an Airman First Class after serving a total of 3 yrs 10 months 30 days during the Vietnam War as an Airplane Mechanic for the 314th Troop Carrier Squadron based out of McClellan AFB, CA.

After his discharge, James began hauling sheep for Valley Livestock Transportation in Dixon, CA, when a blonde waitress caught his eye at Baxter's Café on Donner Summit in 1961. No words were exchanged at the time, but he recognized her immediately a few years later, when he met her officially at his brother's boarding house, where she was renting a room while teaching at a nearby high school. James Albert Rowe and Marian Anita Blake were married on August 1, 1964 in Rio Linda, CA, and started their lives together in Dixon, CA. In 1967, their daughter, Diana Ruth Rowe, was born. Alan Blake Rowe was born in 1968, making their little family complete.

By 1970, they moved to Twin Falls, ID where James began hauling cattle for Wagner Transportation, pulling his doubles throughout the west (if they were allowed). He loved the places he went and the people he met, sharing stories of farmers, ranchers and ranch life with family and friends. He could tell stories for days about his adventures with mud, snow, and feral desert beasts.

A few years later James and Marian bought a few acres in Hansen, ID and then a few years after that, they moved to Gooding, ID near Dog Creek Reservoir where they added a few more Milking Shorthorns to their little herd.

By 1986, James and Marian separated, and James moved to a tiny little house in the country in Jerome, ID. The house may have been tiny but there was room for his growing truck collection and James had his priorities straight. He kept them parked in orderly rows and the weeds faithfully mowed between them.

In 1999, James married Sharon (Wilson) Drake Hall and began downsizing his full-size collection (keeping what could be kept inside the house) and moved to Twin Falls. Over the years, in between traveling to truck shows across the country, James also worked at United Oil in Twin Falls and picked up Wilson Trailers from the production plant for this area.

At a very young age, James had a fascination with trucks. He drove the family truck on the farm and that's where his lifelong love (some might say "obsession") with everything truck-related, especially Fords, had begun. In his official capacity as a "truck expert", James joined the American Truck Historical Society in 1983 and served as the Regional Vice President for Idaho, Montana, and Eastern Washington from 1986 until 2005. He received the Golden Achievement Award in 2018. Unofficially, many have described James as a walking encyclopedia of the trucking industry, with a library of over 200 books, 300 models, and tens of thousands of photographs—all about trucks. During road trips with his daughter, she learned quickly that they would be driving around the parking lots of various truck stops along the way, James with his ever-ready camera, looking for that unique truck or a familiar truck with a history which he could recite ownership (and even paint colors) pretty much since it rolled off the production line. With his depth of knowledge,

James has written articles and provided photos that have been published in books and multiple issues of trucking magazines. He was even featured in a Times-News series, "The Collectors" in 2015 ("Man Behind the Wheel: Jim Rowe").

To know James or Jim or JR (it all depends on where you met him) was to know a kind, gentle, caring man who never knew a stranger, they were just friends-in-the-making. He would not pass by someone in need, whether it was a flat tire or just someone who needed a shoulder to cry on. He was a true gentleman who did not curse, drink, or smoke... but did not judge those who did. He could see the goodness in everyone, even when it may have been hidden deep where the rest of us struggled to see it. James had as many stories as he had miles and not much made him happier than to share them and a laugh with others.

James was preceded in death by his cherished son, Major Alan Blake Rowe, who was killed in Iraq in 2004. He was also preceded in death by his former wife and mother of his children, Marian, and his second wife, Sharon.

James is survived by his daughter Diana Rowe; daughter-in-law Dawn Rowe; his granddaughters Destiny Pauls and Caitlin Rowe; grandsons Zachary (Breanna) Pauls, Levi Pauls, Blake Rowe, and Nathan Pauls; his sisters Evelyne Rominger, Marda Henry, and Ruth "Bink" Eason; his brothers Stuart (Emily) Rowe and Charles (Joan Dean) Rowe; along with many loving nieces, nephews, and family of the heart. We are also comforted to know that James is holding his first great-grandchild before the rest of us will meet her when she arrives in April 2023.

Services were held at the Gooding United Methodist Church on Tuesday, December 20, 2022 at 2:00 pm, with burial to follow in the spring. A celebration of life and graveside service will be held at Mountain View Cemetery in Fairfield at 2:00 pm on May 27, 2023.

Funeral services are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the "James Rowe Truck Museum FOB Diana Rowe" at any First Federal Bank or mail to Diana Rowe, 1134 Washington St, Gooding, ID 83330.
