CITY CHATTER

Vol. 1

No. 5

'The Voice of Thornton Em.e.1£y_ees'
MORE PARKING

THEY REALL ti DID

It is obvious to all of us that the
parking lot behind City Hall is being
re-done. Whether you're a sidewalk superintendent or one of the employees involved in the actual work or just trying
to find a parking place, YOU ARE AWARE.
The really big problem has been that
there hasn't been enough time as a spectator to enjoy all the . interesting
things going on.
From the tim€ dirt is
moved and changing the landscape started
this project has been a subject of much
conversation around City Hall.
There are a great many reasons for
the present project, better utilization
of land, improved drainage and
other
important factors.
Of interest to most
employees is the fact that there will be
approximately thirty additional parking
spaces when completed.
As laymen, we know lines have been
moved, the grade changed and old pavement removed but are aware that what
looks so simple---isn't.
Cross your fingers that it doesn't
rain or snow until the paving on the new
lot is completed.

If you happened to be in City Hall
the afternoon of October 6th you witnessed the number of people lined up in
the halls waiting to register to vote
before the books were closed at 5 P. M.
The City Clerk's office was hardpressed to register the 449 people who had
waited until the last minute. All available personnel were pressed into service
to get the job done, including Mr. Castrodale.
To say that October 6th was a long
hard day in City Hall is an under statement!!!!

Much has been written over the years
on 'hideaways'. Celebrities, lovers and
children have long used them.
The mind
congers up many fantasies in conjunction
with this word.
What this paper would like to know is
how you can have a hideaway such as the
one existing in City Hall, behind half a
wall? We suspect that Don is having his
cake and eating it too. A little privacy
and a little view.

NOTICE
Be it known to all persons that the
departure of two Thornton employees, one
male and one fema~. for California
at
the same time was purely accidental and
not planned.
This notice is being published due
to the fact that the female employee did
not want to see anything in print that
would lead people to false thoughts.

CONGRey~ULATIONS
~

On October 16th, Kevin Meier 15 year
old son of Sherry Meier, was awarded the
rank of B6gle Scout in an impressive
Ccurt of Honor ceremony at
Abraham
Lincoln High School. The Honorable John
p. Vanderhoof, Lieutenant Governor was
the Eagle class sponser.
·
To attain the highest rank in Scouts
is an achievement that has meant many
hours of hard work for Kevin who is a
9th gr.::idc student at Shaw Heights Junior
qigh. It is estimated that out of every
100 boys who start scouting only 2 will
complete Eagle rank.
TrJhen Eagle rank is achieved the scout
will have completed Tenderfoot,
2nd
Class, 1st Class, Star and Life rank and
will have finished 21
merit
badges.
Eleven of these badges will be required.
Everything necessary for approval of
the scouts completion of requirements
for Eagle rank must be submitted in
writing to the Denver Ar e a Council which
will submit the project to National
Headquarters.
Accompanying his written
project must be character references
from 5 men of his community who know him
well and have high regard for his personal integrity and his value to the
community as an individual.

After being approved by the National
Headquarters, still to come is the Board
of Review a scout must pass. This board
of two men who are qualified by District
Headquarters and do not know the scout,
will question the scout 0,.n many subjects.
The scout's feelings toward God, country
and his personal values are all taken in
to consideration as well as those skills
and knowledge necessary for the completion of the Eagle rank.
Kevin is a member of the Order of the
Arrow, White Hawk Chapter-Brotherhood.
His Troop #408 is sponsored by American
Legion Post #52.
We know that Kevin's
Scoutmaster, Elie Musick is very proud
of him.
We know how proud Sherry is of her
son and we share her pride. We know too
that it takes a certain kind of a parent
to raise the kind of a young man who
attains Eagle rank.
The worries and
tears that are a part of raising a child
must have seemed very dim to Sherry as
she particapated in the Eagle ceremony.
OUR
CONGRATULATIONS
TO BOTH
KEVIN
AND
SHERRY

THANKS AGAIN

WORK AND PLEASURE

The Building Department wishes
to
express their thanks to the firemen for
assisting on mobile home inspections.
Those nice guys always seem to be
around when you need them, don't they?

Sunglasses worn during the day can
Jelp your night· vision!
According to a
»ook l e t from Bausch and Lomb, a few hours
,f outdoor exposure on a bright day with
~ut sunglasses that insure glare protec·:ion could impair night vision as much
·s 50 to 90 per cent .

Wayne and Margo Monson were in Anaheim, California, for the National Parks
and Recreation Conference during the 1st
week in October.
Mr. Monson reports it
was a very good conference.
In what little spare time they could
muster, they took in some of the excellent tourist attractions offered in that
area, the best known, of course, is
Disneyland.
Also, while he was there
Mr. Monson took advantage of the situation to interview for a Parks and Recreation Director which the City is
planning to hire early next year.
The
interviewees were quite excited about
the prospect of living in Colorado.
We
can understand that, can't we?

DID YOU KNOW?
Safety belts are now available to
about seven out of eight of all passenger occupants, but the belts are being
used only about 40 per cent of the time
on the average, says the National Safety
Council. In other words, apparently only
about one out of three occupants are using the safety belts in their cars at
any given time.
Current information indicates that if
all passenger car occupants used belts
at all times, such use would save 8,000
to 10,000 lives annually.
From 1900 through 1970 motor vehicle
deaths in the · United States
totaled
more than 1,800,000, says the National
Safety Council.
Deaths of U. S. military personnel in all wars (from
1775
through 1970 totaled 1,152,000).

�SUMMER PLEASURES
Did you get a chance to enjoy some
of the beautiful roses that appeared in
our City Hall during the last month?
There was the red rose that Carl
Stanley brou?,ht in. It was on display at
the switchb0~cd and was almost too perfect to be real .
Freda Davis brought rose bouquets to
share with the water department.
Although Freda professes to be an amateur
when it comes to growing roses, we find
it hard to believe.
Her roses ranged
in color from deep red to almost white,
were very large and resembled the pictures you see in seed catalogs.
Of course, Bob Gorsline has
been
sharing his special water department
roses with Gel and Doris all summer.
Seeing a beautiful f l owe r s e ems to
lift the spirits and mRke t\~ day more

While there are undoubtedly many
specific factors of Hork which, if not
proper or in balance, would cause product defects, attention to detail in
real work output itself;is basically inspired by those who demand that output,
and it is with them that the ultimate
responsibility for any lack of such attention must lie.
That, however is another comment.

Comments, especially written ones,
quite often are hazardous to make.
No
matter what their content, they cannot
please everyone, and so may draw toward
their makers much undue abuse, particularly from large audiences. Worse, because they are so often extemporaneous,
such comments may well leave
their
authors, away from the moment of context
and amid the smoke and flame of controversy, wondering just how they'd happened to have said what they said to begin
with.
Thus, it is with some feeling of
risk that I offer this comment to you.
It is, that an attention to detail,
which once was both satisfying as well
as sought-after seems more and more to
be lacking from real work output.
This
is evident among such familiar commercial products as new automobiles and
tract housing, whose shoddy assembly and
construction, despite outrageous pricin&amp;
now seems to be the rule, rather than
the exception. It is also evident among
such less familiar commercial service
products as survey plats and land descriptions, as well as legal documents
including deeds and contracts, which if
drawn with error, can cost the consumer
at least as much financially, and in
time wasted, as the price of car repairs
or home improvements.
This apparent
lack of attention to detail is further
evident in other products which, though
they be not commercial, are nevertheless
the results of work effort; governmental
legislation, for example, for which, as
Sen. John Bermingham once estimated, the
direct cause of failure in nine occurances out of ten is drafting error, not
related to the potential worth of the
