Nov 2, Near wreck on Monument

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:50:12 GMT

To the person driving the tan truck with a water tank in the bed, my life flashed before my eyes when you came around a blind corner on the Monument straddling the yellow line. Luckily my Subaru Forester was small enough to go between your truck and the rock wall without crashing into either. My theory is that you had water in the tank, and you went around the corner too fast, and the water sloshed to one side and the weight made it hard to get the truck through the turn. A reminder to water haulers, and everyone. Slow down stay in your lane, and also do not pass bicycles on blind corners. I like living, and hope you do too.

Oct 11, Saturday, Oct. 3 was a big day on Glade Park!

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:24:09 GMT

It all started with a good turn-out for the Coates Creek Pancake Breakfast. Thanks to all who attended or sent donations. Then at 1:00 PM the action moved to 16 1/2 and DS Rd. for Glade Park's second parade (when was the first one?). Then the parade ended up at the new Glade Park Community School for their Fall Fest. The weather was beautiful, and Pinon Mesa was decked out in fall color. Thanks to all who helped to make things happen, and those who came out to support the activities.

Sep 28, Art show for Pinon Mesa artist Harold Bryant

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:52:58 GMT

On Oct. 2 Chuck and Patti(Brouse) Shear are sponsoring a showing of 11 paintings by a famous cowboy artist who came to Pinon Mesa for inspiration:
"In 1926, Bryant purchased 40 acres and a cabin on Pinon Mesa but continued his work in New York. After losing his savings in the stock market crash of the 1930s, he returned to Pinon Mesa for good in 1938. For the next two years, he painted but almost starved and was lonely. He married Ruth in 1940, and she and her sister began to earnestly market his work. His big break came in 1941 when he was juried into an exhibit at the Grand Central Art Gallery in New York City."
--Free Press
Patti is the daughter of Howard Brouse, who spent part of his childhood on Glade Park.

Aug 4, GMC truck borrowed by a hiker or biker?

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 00:38:46 GMT

According to Theresa, the GMC truck reported missing in the DS Blotter turned up at the Knowles Canyon trail head. It appears that a hiker or mountain biker must have "borrowed" it to get to the trail head. Borrowing without permission is still theft. Not advisable. But at least it is back with it's rightful owner.

Jul 21, Farewell to Glade Park pioneer Betty Ann Morse

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 05:27:38 GMT

Betty Ann Lutz Morse went to her rest on Saturday, July 18th. It is the loss of one more piece of our pioneer treasure. In addition to being a dear friend, she has been a collaborator in collecting Glade Park history for the book we are working on. My biggest regret is that she will not see it in print, but I hope that she enjoyed the research trips and interviews of old timers as much as I have. Her funeral will be at Calahan-Edfast Mortuary, Saturday, July 25th at 10:00 am.
