Downtown Construction
Open for business - Adapting to the construction, it’s business as usual as work continues on the downtown streetscape project in Johnstown. The goal is for businesses to be able to remain open throughout the project. Work is currently taking place on the west side of Parish Avenue. Access to businesses on that side of the street can be gained at either end of the block. Businesses on the west side of the street can also be accessed, and parking found, from the alley behind the stores. Construction representatives say work is proceeding along schedule. Preparation is being completed this week to begin pouring curb and gutter next week. Weekly update meetings on the project are held at 11 a.m. each Wednesday morning in the old Building Department facility just north of the Johnstown Community center, and are open to the public.

Fresh coat on town hall
By Martin B. Hamilton/The Johnstown Breeze
MILLIKEN – Armed with one long paint roller, and another you could hold in your hand, two local girls joked they should be on “America’s Got Talent.”
Jamie Curry and Siria Benzor, both 12 and seventh-graders-to-be at Milliken Middle School, were among about two dozen youngsters painting the hallways recently at town hall.
“We should be on TV,” Benzor said to Curry, whose arms were stretched out as she covered a long swath with the extension roller.

167 years ago this week, Fremont camped out beside the Thompson confluence
By Stephen C. Schell/For The Johnstown Breeze
Very few individuals know the identity of John C. Fremont, but they recognize his name Fremont when it’s associated with a street and hotel in Las Vegas, a peak in Wyoming, counties in Colorado and Iowa, a pass and butte in Colorado, and banks, libraries and schools throughout the west.
In fact, John C. Fremont slept in more places than George Washington.

Post 70 baseball team wins Legion D state crown
By Martin B. Hamilton/The Johnstown Breeze
Achieving a break-even season is sometimes all a young team of baseball players can do after a slow start.
Roosevelt Post 70’s American Legion D team did just that this summer, coming on strong late in the season to finish 17-17 overall.
But there’s much more to the story than that for the 14 Rough Riders who played in last weekend’s Legion D State Championships in Woodland Park. They were the No. 5 seed in the eight-team, double-elimination tournament, and they entered with a sub-.500 record.

Members of the Big Thompson Canyon Flood Memorial Board of Directors recently issued a press release stating, “It is so important to keep the memory of the ones who lost their lives, along with the memory of the flood, so that people are aware of what happened and lives will be saved if it ever happens again.”

School supply lists
School supplies being collected
Crisp new notebooks, multi-colored folders, crayons with untouched tips, pencils to sharpen, glue sticks, scissors, spiral notebooks, and a new box of Kleenex.
These are items that prepare students each year for the first day of school. The average cost for school supplies for a student is $50, and there are children that are not prepared for the first day of school – simply because they do not have the means of purchasing these items.
The current economic crisis impacts us as adults; but what about the children?
