OUR SYMPATHY If you've been wondering lately why you're so tired, says Capsuled Comments, here's why. "No matter how tired you may be, your exhaustion is fully justified, as can be proven by simple arithmetic. The U.S. has a population of 200 million. Of these, 72 million are over 65 years old, leaving 128 million to do the work. When you subtract the 75 million people under 21, you get 53 million. There are also 24 million employed by the Federal Government, which leaves 29 million to do the work. The 12 million in the Armed Forces leave only 17 million to do the work, and, when you subtract from this the 15, 765,000 who are in state and city offices and 520,000 in hospitals, mental institutions and similar places, the work force is reduced to 715,000. Fine, but, 462,000 are vagrants, leaving only 253,000 to do the work. There are 252,998 people in jail, leaving--you guessed it--- just two people, you and me, to do the work. And I'm getting tired. Passed on by Ike Clair All employees were saddened by the news of the death of the son of Alex Lopez on April 15th. Our sympathy and condolences to the entire Lopez Family. ***""k*;\-**;"***··k;~·-k***;\-·k;',*"'i~·k;\-;'r-k·k;\-*;~..,~k******* BITS AND PIECES FROM THE POLICE DEPT.

City Manager, Jim Castrodale, will do the honors and throw out the first ball at 2:30 P.M. at York Jr. High School, 9100 York Street. This First Annual Game will be umpired by Bill Knobeloch and Sherry Meier. Word has it that Ruth Mccullah is heading up a special cheering section (complete with porn-porns?).

ENTHUSIASM PLUS Despite the blizzard conditions of April 7th, several girls were present at an organizational meeting of the Girls Softba 11 Team, at which Team Captains Linda Wollert and Kathy Martinez- were elected, as well as Cecilia Schenfeld as Team Secretary.

As the feminine half of the roster of umpires, I assure you that the final score will reflect th8 talent and athletic ability of both teams and all decisions made by myself and my esteemed colleague will be fair and without prejudice. In closing, I would like to remind everyone that Chanel #5 is less expensive than brandy. Sherry Meier As an official umpire of the Men'sWomen's Softball Game, I felt it my obligation to scout the teams. Contrary to popular opinion, the girls know which end of the bat to hit with, had their gloves facing the right direction and ran the bases in the correct order. Hits were mostly Texas league singles, throwing arms were surprisingly accurate, team work and team spirit very good. As per the rules of this game, the men come into it unpracticed. (Although I did see some cheating one noon hour in back of the treatment plant.) The team brings into the game a not too spectacular record from last year but plenty of spirit (team?). I anticipate many sore arms and legs, overthrows and strikes. I also predict a final score of Women 5 - Men 8. Remember that umpires are above bribery, but for thou who still wish to try, brandy is my favorite.

Peanuts roasted or in the shell, peanut oil, peanut flour and the great all-American standby--- peanut butter. It is amazing how many ways peanut butter turns up in things we eat; in candy, cookies, cake, icing and on sandwiches. In conducting an informal survey on how people used and liked peanut butter we came up with the following do . it your, self favorites. Peanut butter on: warm toast, fresh bread and on crackers. Combined on sandwiches with: hamburgers, hot dogs, mayonnaise, j~lly, fried bananas, honey, broiled tomatoei, fried bacon, bologna.

The purpose of this sketch is to enable all employees to get to know the "boss" better. This month's subject is our newly named Assistant City Manager, Bob Wilson. As you all know, Bob has been with the City a little over a year now and was originally hired as Director of Personnel and Finance. Originally born in Hollywood, California, Bob spent a good P?rt of his high school years in both the Los Angeles and Atlanta, Georgia areas. After graduating from UCLA in January, 1961, with a degree in Public Administration, he immediately started on a management Training Program, however, the Berlin Wall was built and he found himself, a couple of months later, with the U. S. Army in Heidelberg, Germany. After discharge from the Army in June of 1963, Bob went to work as a Securities Analyst for a large West Coast stockbroker. While there, he met his wife, Linda, and after a whirlwind courtship, they eloped to Las Vegas and were married in March of 1964. Later that year, he joined the Management Training Program of Proctor and Gamble and spent eighteen months working with that firm until he moved on to greener pastures with Honeywell, Inc. in S2ptember of 1968. Starting as Assistant Manager in the Los Angeles branch of Honeywell, Bob moved on as manager of his own office, eighteen months later in San Diego. After setting up housekeeping in their first home in the San Diego area and just getting settled, Bob was transferred again, after only five months in San Diego, to the Denver branch of Honeywell where he also assumed responsibilities for the New Mexico, Montana, and parts of Texas areas. After three years of rather extensive travel throughout the Rocky Mountains Bob decided to look for something that would allow him to put down roots in one spot. He started looking in the field of his original study, Public Administration, and the rest is history. Bob, his wife Linda, and daughter, Amanda, have recently moved to the Woodglen area in Thornton and have put down what they hope to be permanent roots. B.

A well-built chick in a pink bikini, sun bathing. (One of those seldom mentioned job benefits?) Don't bet with Mary Bodine if you don't want to lose your money. Barbara Taylor and Bev Lane lost 50c each to her on the spelling of Jean Claude Killy's name. So we thought it had an e in it, you can't win them all. Would you believe that Sherry Meier found a Christmas present hidden away in her closet that should have been given to her son, and wasn't. But in April? Your editor is waiting for that day when all the bosses take a good look at all the employees on the job and decide that everyone should have an unscheduled vacation and tell them to go home, at full pay. Spring effects people that way. Starting next month the biographical sketch of management personnel will be written by Mr. Wilson. Not fair to ask him to write it this month. Is there anyone besides your editor and Don Krugmire's son who is bent out of shape when Channel 4 pre-empts Emergency for one of their specials?

The need for space in which to preform their jobs has been an employee and department problem since the City was incorporated in 1956. It is facinating to listen to stories of the ingenuity used in coping with the need for space and still staying within the well known budget. We ran a short history of the Fire Department in September of 1972 which told of the struggles this department hQd until their present quarters were built in City Hall. Work has been started on a 2nd Fire Station at 92nd and Huron Street which will be ready by May 1st. The new modular building in back of City Hall is a temporary answer to the crowded conditions of several departments. The investigative staff of the Police Department occupies half of the building with the Planning and Recreation Departments occupying the other half. No comment on the quarters they had before the modular was erected. A feature of the modular building is that it could be moved from its present location to elsewhere in the City and adapt to almost any use in the future. Another department with a history for coping is the Maintenance Department of the Utility System. Devere King agreed to write a history on the quarters of this department for this month's issue of the p3per but it does not include any of the many interesting sidelights which occurred. You will find no mention of high water, or rodents or skunks. The detailed history WATER MAINTENANCE SHOP BY DEVERE KING 1966- Office located in the Clearwell. Undersized for maintenance, with no shop or inventory space. 1967- Moved to present location, old sewer plant. We had to completely renovate the interior of the building, removing pipes, pumps, hot water heaters. We repaired the floor and ceiling as well as we could, built an office, employee lunchroom and installed the heating. After completion of our present location and bringing in the required inventory and machinery for proper utility maintenance, we were agaj_n buldging at the seams. 1968- We realized that we had already out grown ourselves and directed our thoughts to a maintenance and meter shop combination and preliminary plans were drawn up. Then the idea was presented that since the City Shop was also overcrowded why not combine all shops into one large complex, with a paved area throughout. 1973- Should be the year for the new complex. We have all experienced our share of shortage of space. At the time it is happening it is a consent source of grip~s, daily complaints and a first class pain in the neck. Given time it becomes one of the lines of a department's history.

Now let us meet the vivacious personality that is busy recording all the action. She is Penny Conlin our City Clerk, an intelligent, witty individual with an infectious laugh. Her presence at council is a treat for all. Penny keeps busy during the meeting testifying in City matters and trying to keep up with amendments amending the amendment to the original motion. You should see the expression on her face when she is asked to read it back. Ask Penny what she'd say if no one was at Council to give the invocation and she was called on - Amen, Penny - Amen. The last 3 months have been busy ones at council with the approval of several apartment and townhouse developments, and single family subdivision and zoning changes. Appropriations were made for street lights, stop lights and for improvements in most departments. Appointments were made to the Planning Commission and new positions were authorized. The City Awards program was put into effect and also training programs for the City Staff. Public hearings were held for liquor license applications and other licenses were renewed. Maintenance agreements were authorized and maintenance equipment purchased. A special feather in council's capwas the re-negotiation of water bonds. Several Utility Policy Contracts were approved as were funds for new water tanks treatment plant expansion and additions to the Croke Lake Pump Station. One meeting will find the agenda finished at 8:10 with Mr. Castrodale standing on a chair setting the clock to 8:15 so public hearings can start. By the way that clock is still 5 minutes fast! The next meeting finds everyone yawning at 1:00 A.M. while ordinances are being read in their entirety. Both of these are extremes with most of the monthly meetings adjourning by 10:30-11:30 P.M. There is a lot happening at council and the invitation is extended to you to attend council meeting and observe. Roberts rules of order are in force and the meetings run smoothly, humor is injected making it a pleasant, interesting and informative meeting. Next month we will take a closer look at resolutions, ordinances and zoning matters.
