Ronald J. Cameron
Ronald J. Cameron was born on March 10, 1961, in Whittier, Calif., to Les and Jane Cameron. He went home to his Savior on Feb. 16, 2013, at the age of 51.
Ron married Michelle on Nov. 14, 1981. The couple set up home in Anaheim, Calif., where they lived until September 1997. They were blessed with three children, Deryk, Daniel and Stacia. The Camerons moved to Montezuma County in 1997 to be closer to family, settling on the Frazier ranch in Lewis.
Ron began his professional career as a truck driver, but quickly moved on to carpentry, which he continued in until his death. Skilled with his hands, there wasn't anything Ron couldn't do or fix.
A fisherman to his core, Ron's passion was the water. While the mountains of Colorado worked their way into his heart, he never lost his love for the ocean. Known to his friends as "Captain Ron," his fish tales and stories of his time on the water, be they in California, Mexico or Southwest Colorado, were an ever-present part of conversations, stories his friends and family loved to hear.
Ron didn't recognize his need for the saving grace of Jesus Christ until later in life, finally turning from his sin to his Savior on Nov. 5, 2010. From that moment on, he was fervent in his relationship with Christ, committed to loving his family and friends in a more godly way and relying on his faith as the steadying force in his life.
Ron was preceded in death by his parents, Les and Jane Cameron.
He is survived by his wife, Michelle; his children, Deryk and Bri Cameron, Daniel and Sarah Cameron and Stacia Cameron; his brother and sister-in-law, Rich and Diana Cameron; niece, Gina Cameron; nephew, Chris Cameron; and the children he considered to be part of his family, Emily, Esther and Ben.
A celebration of life will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23, at Arriola Bible Church. Cremation has already taken place.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Christian Discipleship Center, 24826 Road L, Cortez, CO 81321.
Arrangements are being made through Ertel Funeral Home. For further information or to send condolences, log on to www.ertelfuneralhome.com and click on the obituary section.

ED ANDRIESKI/Associated Press
DENVER – House Republicans strained their vocal cords Friday in an attempt to derail four Democratic gun bills.
Democrats said they would let Republicans talk as long as they wanted, but they intended to take votes on the bills even if they had to pull an all-nighter.
They took nearly six hours to debate the first bill, to ban the sale of ammunition magazines of more than 15 rounds. It won preliminary approval on an unrecorded voice vote.
"I really believe high-capacity magazine clips have no purpose except for in the theater of war," said the sponsor, state Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora.
But Republicans strenuously opposed the idea and said two firearms companies will leave the state if the bill passes.
House Minority Leader Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, said there's no evidence that banning certain magazines will prevent violence.
"Does this bill in any way enhance public safety?" Waller said. "It's nothing more than a hunch that it's going to have an impact on public safety."
Republicans need to turn five Democrats against the bills to defeat them. They were hoping Durango Rep. Mike McLachlan would be one of them after he sponsored an amendment Tuesday to raise the bill's original ban on magazines of more than 10 bullets to 15.
But McLachlan stuck by the bill and lamented the lack of an effort to compromise.
"As far as I can tell, there seems to be no appetite on one side of this debate for any type of magazine limitation whatsoever. I think that's unreasonable. I think 10 (rounds) is unreasonable," McLachlan said.
The Durango Democrat said the 2008 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that affirmed the Second Amendment right to own a gun also set limits on the right.
"No constitutional right – even the Second Amendment – is absolute," he said.
Southwest Colorado's other representative – Republican Don Coram of Montrose – said rural, pro-gun voices were being drowned out.
"Our voices deserve to be heard," Coram said.
Coram said he does not use high-capacity magazines, but he does carry a .45-caliber pistol when he works in remote areas.
Debate and voting was expected to continue into the night Friday. Final votes in the House are scheduled for Monday.

20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

Wilbur E. Rossmiller
Wilbur E. Rossmiller, a resident of Durango for nearly 45 years, died of heart failure early Christmas morning, Dec. 25, 2012. He was 89.
Mr. Rossmiller was born June 16, 1923, on a farm near Hebron, Neb., the 10th of 12 children born to Fred and Mary Rossmiller. He grew up with eight sisters and one brother.
Mr. Rossmiller left Chester, Neb., where the family had moved, after high school. He joined the Army at the end of World War II, rising to the rank of staff sergeant.
After mustering out, he met Bonnie Schweitzer. The couple married Dec. 3, 1950, and made their home in Lincoln, Neb., where Mr. Rossmiller was employed by the university as a roofing foreman. They became the parents of three sons.
In 1962, Mr. Rossmiller persuaded his wife that it would be much better to raise three active boys in the mountains of Colorado than in the city. So they sold their home, loaded a U-Haul and moved west.
The Rossmillers lived in Cortez and Dolores for a short time, but finally settled in Durango in 1968 and never left.
Mr. Rossmiller worked in construction for many years and eventually devoted his time to selling and repairing garage doors and openers. He continued that line of work until he retired around 2000.
Mr. Rossmiller was a member of Christ the King Lutheran Church for more than 40 years. Pastor John Knutson called him his wizard because of his ability to repair anything quickly and efficiently. He often devoted his time and talent to the church and was pleased to offer his assistance in any way he could, his family said.
Mr. Rossmiller was a good friend to everyone and his cheerful attitude throughout his illness endeared him to his caregivers and everyone he came in contact with, his family said.
Mr. Rossmiller is survived by his wife of 62 years, Bonnie Rossmiller of Durango; sons Mark Rossmiller of Leicestershire, England, Scott Rossmiller of Hilliard, Ohio, and Chris Rossmiller of Martinez, Calif.; two grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Mr. Rossmiller was cremated, and his ashes will be interred in the Christ the King columbarium. A memorial service will be held on the occasion of his 90th birthday June 16. In lieu of flowers, donations to Alpine Hospice, 691 County Road 233, Suite A4, Durango, CO 81301, or the Durango Food Bank, 194 Bodo Drive, Durango, CO 81303, would be appreciated.

Skip to comments.Conservatives removed from financial committees by GOP House leadership
Posted on 12/04/2012 5:59:49 AM PST by CaptainKrunch
The fissure between the GOP establishment and Tea Party members in Congress blew wide open Monday evening when conservative members of Congress were suddenly removed from House financial committees.
RedStates Erick Erickson was the first reliable source to share that conservatives were reportedly being removed from the Houses finance related committees by Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio).
Shortly after, Roll Call reported that Rep. David Schweikert of Arizona had been removed from from the Financial Services Committee for bucking the party line too often.
This morning Congressman Schweikert learned there was a price to be paid for voting based on principle. That price was the removal from the House Financial Services Committee, Rachel Semmel, Schweikerts spokesman, told POLITICO. We are obviously disappointed that Leadership chose to take this course, but Rep. Schweikert remains committed to fighting for the conservative principles that brought him here.
Keep reading...
(Excerpt) Read more at redalertpolitics.com ...
Who needs leftist enemies when conservatives have representatives like John Boehner?
Counting down until the weak sisters on FR show up to mewl that we can't abandon the GOP and start a real Conservative Party. 3... 2... 1...
Boner doesn't want to be Speaker for more than 2 more years, it appears.
Time send a loud message to the "leadership".
America can NOT survive a battle between liberal and liberal lite.
Contribute to, and support ONLY conservative candidates and NEVER fund the party.
So war back and remove Boehner and his friends.
Then try to put in place from the ground up conservative tea party types in both the Democrat and Republican primaries till both parties are properly influenced with fiscal conservative representatives.
Better to take them over after they are defunded and crash and burn. Short term abandonment of Party funding and caucus support could facilitate that.
Might as well elect Pelosi Speaker in Jan.
No, we need to control the GOP as effectively as the Progressives control the DNC. Third party = political oblivion.
"Boner's war on conservatives heats up"
He hasn't even begun to see the hatred of the real conservatives that is about to be unleashed on the self appointed a$$e$ like himself. He might as well apply for his lucrative pension now that he's is so intent on screwing the real base of the party.
Well then, I guess there's no need for the Republican Party. We have two years until the 2014 election. Time to destroy the GOP and replace it.
Think of it as our own version of "Repeal and Replace."
I'll get that done right after I catch this Unicorn that been eating my Golden Apples.
just taken for granted and told they have nowhere else to vote
Threaten Boner. It's time to get serious.
Bohner is preparing for that big 'compromise' next year. Seriously!
And how exactly do you think you're going to do that? Really. I'm interested in hearing how you think you're going to "take back" a party whose "leadership" - who MAKES the rules - is completely set against conservatives who might try.
It's time to repeal and replace the Republican Party. Burn it down and build on the vacant lot.
"Third party = political oblivion."
You mean like this past election when supposed members of the gop didn't even bother to come out and vote because of the choice that was offered to them? Let's give real conservatives real choices and see what happens—even if that means a third party.
Paging Sara Palin, paging Sara Palin.
Do the EVER want to win another election?
The same crowd who were pushing the "severely conservative" Willard Mitt Romney onto us...
Third party = political oblivion.
The GOP is a third party. They replaced the Whigs.
I believe Pelosi has been Speaker "ad litem" throughout Boehner's term.
Oh might as well be strong and suicide the country, permanently delivering it to a party that has long taken leave of the last of its senses.
At this point, I'd settle for having a second party, know what I mean?
I tend to agree only I personally believe the ballot box is a lost cause. If conservatives can't win another election, we alteast have the numbers to deep six moderates.
Republican Party - an extinct American political party which went into rapid decline after trying to reposition itself as a left-of-center party in the wake of the 2012 General Election. Known briefly towards the end of its existence as the Other Democrats, the GOP suffered a rapid decline after a series of leadership miscalculations led Conservatives to flee the party and form today's dominant Tea Party. The last known Other Democrat to hold office was elected Dog Catcher in Crawford County, Kansas in 2043.
"Do we EVER want to win another election?"
Depends on what your deffinition of "winning" is.
You can bet the Dems will not "tea up."
Frankly, this is just one further step in what he did in 10. He wants a centrist party, give him one, vote present for all key votes and let the dems carry the day. The sooner this demented two party system goes over the edge, the better for the entire country.
Where have the men of principle in the Republican party gone? How much longer do we have to wait before these so called Republicans are declared as dead as Whigs and we can have a conservative party with unwavering conservative principles?
A two party system will at most be replaced by another two party system, until the EC is finally banished.
Where have the men of principle in the Republican party gone? How much longer do we have to wait before these so called Republicans are declared as dead as Whigs and we can have a conservative party with unwavering conservative principles?
Boehner must be loved by Democrats in Ohio. They didn't even bother to run a candidate against him. He got elected unopposed this year.
Is it any wonder?
No, we need to control the GOP as effectively as the Progressives control the DNC.
And how exactly do you think you're going to do that? Really. I'm interested in hearing how you think you're going to "take back" a party whose "leadership" - who MAKES the rules - is completely set against conservatives who might try.
It's time to repeal and replace the Republican Party. Burn it down and build on the vacant lot.
Lets get Ross Perot to run again.
Look what that got us last time.
The only way to control the republican party is to never ever donate one penny to the RNC.
Donate only to the PAC's of the individual candidates that you support. Go for the conservative that will live up to his promises.
I donated a lot of money this past election and it went only to PAC's. I get letters weekly from the RNC asking for money. They go directly to the trash can, unopened.
Tea party needs to infiltrate the GOP like the progressives did to both parties. Take it back.
Jon Tester might be the only blue dog left in the entire USA. Good luck infiltrating the Rats with more conservatism.
yeah, why undermine a friend.
How could you tell?
No... republicans want to remain losers and progressives.
I say we just keep the name of the TEA Party and grow that. Already somewhat established and some elected Representatives, plus it has a simple tenet of Restoring Fiscal Discipline.
That is the answer right there. These guys pointing at the Whigs are delusional. Too much has changed in 150 years.
After which (not immediately after, mind you, but later on), the Republicans and Democrats came up with ways to tweak the system so that no other third/minor party could upset the two-party apple cart.
Or to put it another way -- if conservatives don't have the numbers and resources to take over the GOP, then they don't have the numbers and resources to take on the GOP and DNC combined.
I am pissed at the conservatives in congress...
why, you ask?
because, if they ever decided to band together, they would rule the roost..
without their votes, nothing passes... period..
with their votes, the libs can get what they want..
they are the so called "swing" votes, and do indeed hold all the power, if they banded together and stood together..
they will not, because they value power and money just as much as the liberal pubs do...
definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result each time..
TEA as a sub-movement in the GOP makes sense.
You know, no GOP person, not even the most looie liberal of them, has EVER called TEA, "Tea Baggers." That is a crudity reserved to Democrats.
Hensnarling...now where have I heard that name before?
Oh yeah...
House GOP walking fine line with Tea Party in effort to keep Bachmann and her antics out of leadership
...he's the party-first guy who Boehner used to freeze Michele Bachmann out of the House leadership circle.
Time to abandon the corrupt, decrepit GOP-E once and for all.
KaptainCrunch is right. This fight needs to take place in the primaries. We might lose some seats that Republicans should have won, but we will eventually change the views of the Republican party.
I will add one caveat. We still need to elect candidates that can win. In conservative districts, we need conservatives on the ballot. In more liberal districts, we can support our more moderate candidates.
Conservatism is not an ideology: it is a way of life.
There are plenty of honest conservatives in the house.
The problem is that there are not enough to replace boner with one of their own.
The solution is to support those that are there and elect more like them until they have the votes to replace boner.
It might take a couple more election cycles, but if it does so be it.
The trouble with repubs is that they do not think long term. Dims, dim as they are, think long term. They have put their rats in everything from schools to congress, from your local courthouse to every bureaucracy in DC.
Look on it as a war. Wars are not won by Rambos. They are won by logistics....in other words supply lines that have the right stuff and more of it than the enemy. Of course, the French are the exception.
The endless chain of local politicians are our supply line and we neglect them.
I would just vote no on everything and not work with anyone from the establishment, which would free up my time to go and advocate like crazy. I'd work with vast right wing conspiracy revolutionaries and anyone else who would work with me in Congress or elsewhere on many fronts, working to bolster the cause of Christianity, the rule of law, a strong America, personal freedom and responsibility, free enterprise, etc.
And every month or so introduce some right wing bill that they would ignore.
I'm not someone who would or could run for Congress, but for those that are there or thinkin about runnin... just sayin...
These actions by the establishment GOP leaders are reminiscent of FDR packing the Supreme court to further his agenda, only this is the exact opposite, unpacking the various finance committees of Tea Party types so as to not to impede "reaching across the aisle" and compromising with Obama.
Vive le Resistance !
To the Barricades !
4 post, that didn't take long.
We are called the T.E.A. Party but we're really not a party at all.
We are part of a party that despises us.
Anyone still not getting the point?
What conservatives call "RINO"s ARE the GOP - the Geriatric Old Plotters.
The REAL Republican Party is the party of Rockefeller, Ford, NWO Bush, McCain, Castle, Murkowski, Boehner, Graham, Romney and court jester Rove. That party is paleo-Progressive and detests the 'simple negro' conservatives whose stoop labor is grudgingly accepted, but who in no way may enter the house.
Goldwater, Reagan, Palin, West and so on are anomalies. Only Reagan succeeded in breaking through that GOP gray wall of gray men with gray ideas.
Drive a stake through the revenant hearts of the Geriatric Old Plotters and their apparatchiki. Until enough of us leave this designed to fail plantation, liberty, prosperity and American culture will continue to wither before our eyes.

My name is Bonnie Keller, and I am 59 years old. I live alone and, for a long time, did not know why I feel the way I do. In September 2009 I finally went to the doctor. He put me in the hospital and ran some tests, sent me home with oxygen and told me to visit his office again.
He gave me all the results. He told me I had pulmonary hypertension. I thought to myself, "No big deal. What is it, high blood pressure?" Since I have had high blood pressure for years, I asked him if we needed to change medication again. He told me, "No, you need to have a sleep apnea test." By then my 15 minutes were up, and the nurse arranged for the test. I thought to myself, "All this for high blood pressure?"
I'm the kind of person who needs to take charge and go to the source. So I went to the library computer, researched and made numerous copies and went home to read. The first thing I read was: no cure, disease of the lungs, a disease not much was known about and five to seven years to live if untreated. Well, panic and hysterical crying set in. I thought, "What do I do? Where do I go? Oh my, oh my, I'm dying. I live alone with no one to turn to for help."
That week in the Sunday paper I was reading the "Feeling Fit" section and saw a support group for PH right here in town. I called, and the next meeting was a couple of weeks away. It was one of the best and most important calls I have ever made. At the meeting, I was greeted by Linda Milo, the leader of the Port Charlotte Pulmonary Hypertension Support Group. A warm, friendly, active person, she made me feel instantly welcome. I was given a folder loaded with information, a pin, a bracelet and a business card. I was introduced to other PHers and realized I am not the only one with PH. I had something in common with all the other PHers at the meeting. The two other co-leaders, Mary Anne Jones and Teresa Wells, were also there for a helping hand.
I've been to many meetings now. Each meeting has a guest speaker with different topics of interest to PHers. I have gone to meetings totally depressed and in tears, only to leave all smiles and ready to face things again. I have learned so much about this disease — how to cope with it, different medications and good doctors — through the leadership of the group, the guest speakers and the other patients. One of my best decisions was going to a PH support group meeting.
Thank you, Linda Milo, Mary Anne Jones, Teresa Wells and thank you, God.

A sizable crowd attended Thursday night's session of the Harrisburg City Council, though there was little action taken.
The topic that appeared to be of greatest interest to the crowd was the agenda item "liquor sales hours." Mayor Eric Gregg as liquor control officer has said at past meetings he has concerns about businesses being open late on some Sunday nights. A new ordinance intended "to alleviate the problems we've been having" is still in the process of being drafted by Gregg and City Attorney Todd Bittle, Gregg said. Gregg said he would present it to council at the next meeting 6 p.m. Jan. 17.
"We're going through it sentence by sentence," Gregg said.
There was little comment by commissioners in open session other than praise from Street Commissioner Ron Fearheiley for city crews who cleaned up the streets from the Dec. 26 snow storm that dumped about 14 inches of snow on the city. He praised the crews and apologized for the inconvenience to those whose driveways were blocked out of necessity.
"I know it made some of the people mad, blocking their driveways. Sorry Commissioner Crank. They blocked yours. They blocked mine, too," Fearheiley said.
The council approved $22,610 be paid to Bryan's Concrete for Feb. 29 tornado repair work. The money is paid through the more than $2 million federal CDAP grant administered by Roy Adams Services.
Commissioner John McPeek said a $400,000 CDAP grant for housing renovation and a $100,000 CDAP grant for home renovation for the disabled acquired by Adams would be utilized in a targeted area on the north side of town, roughly behind the Bar-B-Q Barn. Houses on Rose Street, Midkiff Street and part of North Webster Street will be eligible until the money runs out. McPeek invited those interested to contact him or Adams at 713-8409.
Historic preservation
Citizen Bill Wright who was on the agenda asked for the city's help in saving the historic Harrisburg High School from demolition, should the school board decide to take that route in building a new school.
He also asked the city to initiate the creation of a library of records or some central place where people could get seek grants for historic preservation.
"It would help with trying to maintain the buildings of Harrisburg," Wright said.
Wright said he contacted the Landmarks Illinois organization of Chicago that declared HHS one of the state's endangered landmarks and offers $300,000 grants to help with restoration of historic buildings.
"I feel the high school should be saved," Wright said.
Gregg suggested Wright look to the Southeastern Regional Planning and Development Commission for information on grants for historic places.
Page 2 of 2 - Gregg said the city has an interest in preserving its historic downtown and is interested in funding for that. He cited the city of Springfield's project of placing its downtown in a tax increment finance district and using the increment generated to restoring building facades.
"If we tear down the old buildings around our square we lose a lot of history," Gregg said.
Gregg said the council was preparing to enter executive session, but taking note of the large audience opened the floor up to any citizens with comments.
Michael T. Shaw addressed council with a grievance. He said Nov. 14 he was assaulted at Poor Boys Lounge and City Attorney Todd Bittle dismissed the ordinance violation citation against his attacker. Shaw said he paid $2,000 in hospital bills due to the incident, wanted to know why the charge was dismissed and why he has never gotten a phone call back from Gregg though he has left messages five times.
Gregg told Shaw he would look into the matter with Bittle and gave Shaw his personal cell phone number to call.
Council went into executive session for the stated purposes of discussions on personnel and litigation, but took no action once back in open session.

… this amazing mountain continues to exhibit such various scenes of sublimity and beauty at exactly the distance one would chuse to observe it from; a distance which almost admits examination, and certainly excludes immediate fear … columns of flame, high as the mountain's self, shoot from its crater into the clear atmosphere with a loud and violent noise … a thick cloud, charged heavily with electric matter, passing over, met the fiery explosion …
Hester Thrale, 17891
Mount Vesuvius was especially active in the late eighteenth and for most of the nineteenth century.2This fact, along with a growing awareness of the natural sciences in this period, meant the volcano attracted a great deal of interest. Indeed images of Vesuvius in various states of activity, as well as other scenes of uncontrollable nature – avalanches, storms, fires – became synonymous with the Sublime and with Romantic art. In the 1770s the English artist Joseph Wright of Derby, Frenchman Pierre-Jacques Volaire and German Jacob Philipp Hackert all produced views of Vesuvius, establishing the conventions for subsequent images. They presented the erupting volcano as a spectacle by moonlight, rivers of lava observed by tiny frock-coated gentlemen, juxtaposed against the built environment or surrounded by calm harbours. The paintings produced by later Romantic artists tended, on the other hand, to portray the volcano with as much precision and more emotion.
In 1818, Dahl, Bergen-born and Copenhagen-trained, set out for an extensive study tour of the continent – although he didn't make it very far. Travelling via Poland and then Berlin, he settled in Dresden where, apart from his 1820–21 sojourns to Italy and frequent trips back to Norway, he remained for the rest of his life. Dahl witnessed some of the 1820 eruptions while in Naples; he sketched Vesuvius on the spot, subsequently producing many paintings based on these experiences. Dahl shares this fantastic composition with his friend and compatriot, the Viennese painter Josef Rebell.3In both paintings, the profusion of colour, audacity of the scene and its sheer extremes – the gleam of the bright moonlit sky, the glow of molten lava tumbling into the sea, the treacherous waves set against perilous rocks – convey 'not a sense of fear but a sort of ecstasy'.4
Much of the fascination of Eruption of Vesuvius is a result of the combination of the opposing elements of fire and water. Usually a stormy sea such as this would be enough in itself to engender a sense of awe. Here it is pitted against a volcano, which shoots flames into the sky, fills the sky with black smoke and scatters fiery girandoles far and wide. The debris even reaches a stone monument adorned with a cross, on the rocky shore opposite – dangerously close to where we are standing! On the right-hand side, soot merges with the silhouetted coast. The moon ventures through the darkened clouds, just enough to cast light on the foreboding scene below. This is Sublime Nature. We feel the power of Vesuvius and anticipate its destructive forces.
