I have found over the years these make getting the naper out much easier. It helps if you keep a pad handy that is for the paper only, then as you hear of items that would be good stories for the paper, make yourself a note. True you end up with lots of notes, but it helps to jog your memory on whom to ask for those special stories. I put out a memo, usually right after the 15th of the month, on when the next paper would be out and what the deadline would be for turning in news items. I tryed toremember to remind people verbally of the deadline whenever I saw them. I put a memo in each departments box in the City Managers office and in each Ftility Departments box. I also roBde sure the following people received the memo, writing their name in top left corner, usually hand deli v~xed wheneil.'.er possible; Karm Sunday, Cy Leiker, Jeff TerAvest, Sandra Kailey, Jim Perry, Cel Schenfeld, Duane Tinsley or Jim Keller, Al Smith, Genny Pierce, Devere King and anyone else I thought might give me a story. I would s ome t.i-nes write a r-e-ni.nder' 2t the top of a memo to a particular person to jog their memory of a particular story they might write. There is a fine line between encoura?ement and enthusiasm,and harassment. Be careful. The most frequently heard cormnent from emnloyees when asked for news items is thev don't know how to write the stories or don't have time to write the stories. I always assured ne oo Le to just T)Ut down the facts or get them to me and I would t2 ke i_ t from there • Be very c~reful to nroof, correct and rewrite if necessary, all stories submitted for the naoe r , You don't want any emoloyee embrassed by printing something tret is awkward or in bad form. This also holds true for department heads, oarti.cularly in cas ua L stories. Try to feel what the writer Lnt.ended to say or convey, straighten the story out and retain as much as possible of the original story.as submitted. Depending on iWhen the paper was due I tried to arrange the following schedule; deadline- 5:00 p.m., 3 days before the oaner was due. I took all items home where they could be read and proofed in peace and quiet, (I could never find time to do this at work). Have everything ready to 5ive to Li.nda , Mi1G operator, next morning, having previously alerted her to when I would be expecting the paper to be typed. Having Linda tyne the paper is the answer to getting it printed in an efficient manner. I have always found her to be co9perative and most helpful. This schedule allows the entire day for her to type the 1:irst draft, return it to you for getting it into final form, and return it to her for final typing. Arrange for so7eone (usually the part-time high school girl) to run the paper and staple it together. If all goes smoothly, (and sometir.1es it does) the paDer can be tvped, run off on the Xerox and -stapled all in one day. Usually it takes two days. The naner' s bou.Ld be given to Lucille Miller, Finance Clerk, the afternoon before the last Daycheck of the month is due. This s cheduLe allows for such things as malfunction of the MAG or Xerox machine, L> te de.I i.very of naner, absence of ner's ons who normally help with the paper due to illness or vacation or those times when all schedules are interrupted by an edi.ct f rom the admi rri.at.r-a t i on to stop a11 routine matters and do thus and such r-r ojec t., Be f Lexab.Ie , do the best y ou can and don't worry about what you can not c0ntrol. Don Krugrnire will provide you vii th a list of birthdays for the following month w-i..thout you hav Lng to ask. It's on his schedule and he never fails. �2. A little history on the paper. We were stuck w i.t.h the name when it was decided to have a contest to name the paper. The submittals we received were not too imaginative. The 1Voice of Thornton Employees' was added to help overcome the rather cas~al name of the paper. Volume denotes year, J.2 issues per year, and date is the day employees will receive the paper. (You might want to read Ue first issue of the paper which had artioles from the Mayor and City Manager for some idea of what was originally planned for the paper) o Select the stories for the front page and then arrange all other stories for spacing. Astericks will denote top 2nd finish of each article. Ar~anging the paner for typing is really very simnle once someone shows you how ij~o~e. T:te qnickest method to learn how is to ask someone to show you how it is done.
