Lane ·k*******--.1.:******~~******7'****************~ �EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH FOR MARCH At last Monday night's Council session, Evelyn Utterback was presented a plaque and Savings Bond as the City's Employee of the Month for March. Evelyn was nominated by Terry Cole. Terry's winning nomination, which was read before Council, pointed out that every department within the City has appreciably benefitted from having Evelyn "aboard" for more than eight years. She has been an invaluable aid and an inexhaustible source of information to all employees. Over the years, Evelyn has readily accepted many additional duties not related to her assigned tasks, including work in the City Manager's Office, Personnel Department, Fire Department, Police Department and Building Department. Please join the City and City Council in expressing a very meaningful thank you to Evelyn for such outstanding day to day service. Bob Wilson Asst.

Four City Departments were involved in the moving process, a task that required 4 hours to complete. The most extensive move resulted in transferring the Building Dept. into the modular unit located behind City Hall. To provide the necessary space for the Building Dept., the Planning Dept. was moved from the modular unit into the office space previously occupied by the Building Dept. The Director of Parks and Recreation was moved into the office space occupied by the City Clerk. However, to accomodate the secretary for Parks and Recreation and Planning; it necessitated the moving of Don Rohrbaugh of Data Processing into the Planning office. Overall, a total of 12 staff members from the various departments were involved in the move. Other than some minor moments of confusion and a few sore backs, "Moving Day" was carried out quite successfully. W.

I think most people have seen the new signs on the highways and in other cities. ~ r---, Most of the new signs are symbols instead of words. For in KEEP RIGHT stance, the old signal ahead sign had the words "Signal Ahead" on them but the new sign is simply a picture of a traffic signal The main reason for these new signs is that you don't have to read them. When you have to read a sign you have to take your ~ eyes off of the road for a longer time than if you just have to NO RIGHT TURN glance at a symbol. These signs also bridge a language problem and similar signs have been in use for some time in other parts of the world a~d found to be very successful. At first people might have trouble understanding the new ~ signs but it won't take long to learn them. There will be a supplemental sign under the symbol to tell you what it means ~ for a while, which will be removed later. Also another small change but a big job is the changing of the street name s i gns, As you probably know the street signs in ~ _the City of Thornton have a blue back-ground with white letters. The new code requires a green back-ground with white letters. ~ It sounds like a lot of trouble and money to change all signs, but it has a good purpose. It will make all the signs in the United States uniform and possibly this summer or next when /you vacation from state to state, the signs you see will be just like the ones here at home where you live. -~ George Stanley muutEJ Street Dept.

They are doing a good job down in those muddy leak holes, as all the men over the past two weeks have done, we have a break every day. Our vacations are in full swing now with Devere King family hiking, fishing and sleeping in our snowy Rocky Mountains. Doug Scheffel and family are, I hope, enjoying the sunny skies of California and avoiding high gas prices. The George Keil family had a nice vacation, they went visiting and worked on their ranch. Ike and Mary Belle Clair· are getting their trailer ready to leave the 29th of June for that good fishing land in Wyoming. Don DeRenzo & family are also heading for Wyoming (I think) that is if his new truck that he has had on order for over three mont.hs is delivered. The railroad lost it for a month or so but he received word that they had found it. His reaction was: Hurry, hurry!! The family hopes to leave the 29th with the Clairs. Shorty Spears and family are heading for the Blue Grass Country of Kentucky and Tennessee on July 12th to visit relatives and friends. Have a good time!! Jack Armentrout is feeling almost his self again. He had open heart surgery June 7th to replace some· arteries and he can hardly wait to get back to work. He is crazy. Why would anyone want to get right back to work? Jack, take it easy and relax, everyone said, 'Hello, Jack,' and Jack said to tell everyone, 'Hi.'

The mind of a child is a wonderful place Where wishes and dreams are so real, Where kittens and puppies and gingerbread men Can talk and can actually feel.

So many times, the way a particular situation is handled on a police call, can mean the difference between safety and injury, life and death. Early this month, when a distraught young man seemed determined to "shoot it out," police officers and citizens were endangered. Sgt. Jim Allen, and his team of officers, Mike Silva, Vincent DeForest, and Joel Sidell re-acted as a well co-ordinated team, protecting citizens, and finally arresting the party. It was an extremely dangerous situation, but due to the calm team work, no one was injured~ How about a special thanks to Louise Vicory. Due to the loss of one of our dispatchers, Sherry Dysert, Louise took over temporary dispatch duty. She is doing an excellent job and her dedication is an inspiration to all of us. D.

Flag Day was really observed in City Hall this year as it was Beverly Lane's birthday and she passed out small flags and then we all had cherry pie and ice cream instead of the usual cake to help celebrate her birthday. Jack Armentrout is home and recovering from heart surgery. We're all hoping to see him around soon. Terry Jerman is back on the job after a short stint in the hospital for minor surgery. We surely welcome Bill Adams, the ·new custodian. Let's all help him by cleaning up our own messes where we can. June 11th was "Moving Day" in City Hall with people being moved out, in and to and from. Needless to say the switch board had quite a time keeping up with where to reach which person; ask me, I was helping that morning. Wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July but drive carefully. Grace Lindner The clerk tells three men who want to check into a hotel together that the bill will be $30.00 so they split it and pay $10.00 each. The manager later asks the clerk to refund $5 becaus& the true bill is $25.00. The clerk, finding it impossible to split this up evenly among 3 men, decides to keep $2 and give each man back a dollar. This means that each man paid $9 or a total of $27.00 ($9 x 3) for the room. They paid $27 and the clerk kept $2.00 for a total of $29.00 ($27 + $2). Where did the other dollar go?

A victory over the Jefferson County Action Center of Arvada was one positive result of a 38-14 loss by the Thornton Men's Softball Team to Patrolman Jim Smith's P. D. Team the previous week. Following this game, by mutual agreement the two teams merged and will, beginning July 12th, represent the Thornton Employees in the newly formed Slow-Pitch Softball League. The game with Arvada was a see-saw battle which was decided in the last of the ninth inning by a towering home-run. A small but enthusiastic crow~ was treated to a number of sparkling plays as well as several moments of comedy as both teams, trying so hard to win, would really goof on an easy play. The final score was 9-8. It is worth noting, that this game was 'mixed,' with both the Men's and Women's Teams participating and besides adding 'beauty' to the line-up, the girls showed they too have talent on the ball diamond. You can watch both these teams practice, each Wednesday night at Woodglen Elementary and watch for the league schedule to be released soon, YOUR support will be very much appreciated. *******************~k************~k***** ******"'k-k******--lrl:*******~****-!ri:********* SPORTS FEATURE TWO PLUS TWO EQUALS SIX For the past two years Bob and Doris Donaldson have been active in a Golden Colorado Bowling League and recently brought home two trophys which they now proudly display along next to the four they won last season.

Jim Wellman tells us that as of June 26th his department had used 3,990 TONS of overlay on city streets. Larry added the conrrnent that 300 gallons of white paint and 600 gallons of yellow paint has been used so far for striping and for making a whole bunch of little dots. Do you ever feel that some things are too wild to be true? I have proof that Sherry Meier cooks dirt, freezes shoes and bakes records and tupperware. Vic May will be on vacation the week of July 2nd from the meter shop and we understand that he might take a fishing trip up to the Flaming Gorge area. Get a good rest Vic, because we have a busy summer in front of us. If you haven't been to the Police Dept. in a while it's worth your time to stop in and see all the changes that are being made. You wouldn't recognize the old place. Had you noticed that Smitty shaved off his mustache? A long time ago-----extension 51 in City Hall was assigned to the 'Reproduction Room' and is now assigned to Ron Rote1lo. Any conrrnent on this Ron? Genny Shake took a two weeks vacation recently and traveled to Iowa to visit her son and family. She reports it was a great vacation. Mary Beth George, meter reader, was asked to explain the notation CB L she made on a meter book. She gave this explanation to the office. It meant-----Come Back Later. Two butterflies were mating on the meter lid and she didn't want to bother them. Very simple. Mary Kay Hayden informs us that the people living in the apartment above her have a baby boa as a pet and she is a little concerned about it getting loose and crawling around the building. Jim Carpenter's resignation from City Council came as a real surprise to almost everyone. If you know him or have ever met him, you have an opinion about him because he isn't a neutral person. We have been lucky to have had someone with his ability lending a hand these many years. Jim, we hope to still see you around City Hall now and then. A brighter note on the Carpenter's is that Jim Carpenter, Junicr, Universityof Colorado student will be going with the C. U. Basketball Team on a 3 weeks tour of Brazil in August. Sounds great. Evelyn, congratulations on being named Employee of the Month for March. We're all very proud of you and know how much you help us in our day to day work.
