Injuries9 vacations and snift wc rk have inte:i."f~red ,-,'Ji th po t h .pr-acz i ce .·and regular games. It is a little hard to play a game when you can only field 5 players9 which is what happened recently. All was not lost9 how ever9 because the other team loan ed 4 men, and a practice game was played. This paper also takes issue with those persons who when told of our first win asked9 11Who did they p Lay ?" Donvt forget the next game!!!! July 28th9 at 9:30 P.M. at the F. M. Day Field9 69th & Pecos St. The name chosed from entries submitted for naming the paper was Bill Knobelochvs choice. He won the portable mixe:c and fishing reel. Bill said he could really use the mixer and his wife would appreciate the reel. The staff9s thanks to all of you who entered the contest. YOU HAVEN9T SEEN ANYTHING YET If you are seein6 new faces in new places9 they are probably :not new employees. There have been many chan0es in the last montL. Elaine Stockton has moved into the Utility Department from City Hall9 Don ~ohrbaugh9 who heads up t.he City vs computer sy at em , now 9 has his desk over in the city side. Lucile Pacifico now has a desk in with the buildin~ depart ment and has assumed some additL ional duties for· that -.office. There is one new face in City Ha LL, our' new City Clerk. Penny Conlin9 who sta:rted July 17th in her new duties. VJ'elcor11e Penny. We are a gr owi.ng City and this is all part of the ef'f'cr-t to meet todays needs. JEALLY GREAT We hear so much about aTitifeelings and how hard it is to get aloni with one another in tLis world 9 that when people fail to disagree it is not nev.s , Well1 this is news because it is so great!!!!! The co-operation of everyone in get t.Ln ; out this paper has been t.r-emendou s , The reporters1 the gals who did the typing of the stencils end the gals who put it together and got it to you were just great and you wLo took time to comment on the paper9 are great1 too. We do need some more help from you readers. If you see or hear something that you think should be in the paper1 please turn it in. The re~orters can9t be arounf in the right p l a ;e a_t the right time all the time. 9 GLAD YOUR BACK It is nice to see Bob Carman back at his desk after being off ill but hope he will take it easy and not overdue. Bein6 sick isn9t tLat mucL fun. �PROMOTIONS 'THE THING' Congratulations to Ron Strachan on his promotion to investigator and to Ed French on his promotion to sergeant. Good luck in your new duties. Did you hear about the box that sat in the Utility Department for over a week before Jerry Groothuis found out what it was doing there? We heard that Jerry asked justaboot everyone in City Hall if 'The Thing' belonged to them. 'The Thing' being ateletype typewriter. He couldn't find any one who knew anything about 'The Thing' About the time he thought that 'The Thing' was going to sit there forever he found that Sherry Meier (utility book keeper) had some of the answers. Seems that a transport company had delivered and Sherry had signed for some valves for the treatment plant. The only problem being that the box they left did not contain valves but 'The Thing.' The last we heard was that Sherry states that she is going to see ever1 box she signs for and Jerry swearing if he never sees another 'Thing' it will b2 too soon. Jerry, Phil Harris told you abou:. :. what would happen, you just didn't heed his advice. SCHOOL D1WS One of the reasons for the excellent job our Fire Department does is the fact that they are always in training. This past month Greg Sheehan and Ed Conrad attended emergency medical technician school at Colorado General Hospital and Carl Stanley and Jan Bowers attended this training at Valley View Hospital. Attending command officer school at C.S.U. in Fort Collins were-Grsg,Sheehan, Ken St. Onge and Jim Wilson. ANNOUNCEMENT The maintenance department announces that Jake, 'Duty Mouser' gave birth to 6 kittens, in the attic no less. This has to be an all time high for Jake. Anyone want a free kitten? There is an assortment of colors. VACATIONS APPARANT Vacation time was apparant in the Thornton Police Department in the last month. Among those enjoying a short summer vacation were Charleen Isbell, Ed French, and Ronald Rotella. Taking over on dispatching duties for awhile in July was Charles Brucker, who returned to patrol duty July 18th. Vacations do require some shifting of jobs, don't they? NOW REALLY Have you heard about the·City employ ee who lost, in one evening, a new book, her bra and some cash? She says she was at home. For the curious, more details may be obtained from Louise. She won't let us use her first name. ------------------·----- - --···- PROUD OWNER'S Danny and Mrs. Cercone are the proud owners of a '72 Oldsmobile Cutlass. They had had it 2 days when an incompident driver smashed in the rear end and for what it is worth, Danny, we are sorry. Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed. -----·---··-----PERHAPS YOU'VE NOTICED Around the Thornton area .new firE hydrants are replacing the old ones. These new, sleek, modern styled hyd r'arrt s are the ultimate in the fashion world of fire hydrants. WHO WOULD EVER BELIEVE Bob Gorsline reports that we are net able to receive water from both Westmi:1ster and Denver.

The prospective groom is Jerry Sanburg. Becky and Jerry, who both graduated this year from Southern Colorado State College, are planning teaching careers. A little girl living in Denver called the Thornton Fire Department to report that her mattress was on fire. It makes us feel proud to have Thornton Fire Department singled .. out over Denver Fire Department. Thanks Sweetie!! Best wishes to both of these young ladies. It's been a joy to share their happiness. REST AND RELAXATION FROM: THE LIVING WORDS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN, E. LEWIS & J.

Fishing was the prime activity but Lennie spent one day climbing Tin. "Cup Pass with his son, Larry. Sounds like a great way to get away from it all!!! Would you believe that there is some one who picks movies by the title? They thought 'The Biscuit Eater' was rated X. !ILL P,BOARD The Castrodale family recently spent a week camping and sightseeing in the southwestern corner of the state. Highlight of the week was a trip on the narrow gauge train between Durango and Silverton. Jim tells us this is a wonderful way to see some of the most spectacular scenery in Colorado. -----·-··-··- FORESIGHT We believe in foresight and preparation but how about the guy who called the fire department for an ambulance before he beat up on a fellow he didn't like. Guess this is pure confidence. Then there was the guy who -.thought that water breaks should be reported. in advance. VACATION? YOU BET!! Assistant Fire Chief Jim Scott is getting his camper all ready for a vacation trip to California. Lamar Whitney and Carl Stanley are gone - on vacations from the Fire Department. Jim Randall returned reluctantly from his vacation, and reported that it was just too nuch fun. PUT OUT THE FIRE The Thornton Fire Department received quite a few calls reporting a truck on fire. It turned out to be .the truck spraying for mo~quitoes. �--~ .. ~ >-! . ...1 '.-:,· 0 • ('J UJ ct5 r::-L., :-'-1 ,. .. , ~' • r-1 r,J ..,.,, Q;; •,-l ::., ~ 0 0 (i) .D • ::..i '-,l • ·I • '·1 (!) r:.: f-1 0 0 _, (!) ,.'·-·! .,.) .µ 0 rl ,,, I • {j} (lJ ::., ,., ,,,,: ("; •rl r-1 ;-11 :=:.: (\j ,.., 0 r, • ~) ..-~1 ,, -:--> ., , ~> .;..) :.1 ,••-\ ;...
