The cool, early afternoon temperatures prevented any swinnning and steady breezes kept anyone from playing Badminton but many participated in other activities that were available, including Volleyball, Tennis, Tug-of-War and Softball. There was no shortage of food either, as there was an ample supply of salads, casseroles, fried chicken, relish dishes and desserts to suit everyones taste. Off duty firemen were kept busy dispensing liquid refreshment to both the young and old. An added feature of the day, for both the young and young-at-heart, the rides given by the Fire Department on one of the Department's trucks. were Another highlight of the day's activities was the awarding of over $100 in door prizes to lucky employees who were present and Service Awards to a number of employees. Many departments and individual employees were responsible for the success of the picnic "(which we hope will become an annual event) and though the list is too numerous to name everyone, we sincerely thank all who participated.

Linda Wollert submitted a cute story, Cy gave me a timely story on checking your home to prepare it for winter. I'm still holding a story that Dee turned in last month and Wayne Volkman promises he will write a story for sure 'next' month My thanks to all of you for being so patient. B. Lane **-k-k***~~k~***************************** �~IC:}°iieD:W~r~ SEASON'S END It's with mixed emotions that the 1973 Employee's Softball games have come BOWLING BLUES A disappointing turnout to form an .Employee Bowling League, coupled with news that there were no alleys available until 1974 for league play, might have made some people think there would be no bowling this year . However------we do intend to go ahead with some of our plans so that we can enter a league team next season. Many did not come to the last meeting as they were on vacation or were working and since we do have almost 20 people wanting to ~owl, we will plan some bowling dates, to begin Friday, Oct. 5th at 6:30 P.M. Watch your department bulletin board for further details. . ., ,* .k**************--1::**7rl:*********~******* ATHLETE OF THE MONTH This month's award goes to Don Krugmire. Though Don was unable to play Softball this season, he did provide some much needed equipment, that made it possible to have a team play. · Don has always been active in sports and while serving in the armed forces in Japan, was very active in the Little League program. Our thanks to Don for his help and our congradulaticns at being selected Athlete of the Mouth. *~k************************************* YOUR HELP IS NEEDED Do you know someone ,cl,o deserves the Athlete of the Month Award? If so, get in touch with Bob Donaldson, Ext. 56 **"k-k****~************"k'-k**************** · to an end. It was a good. season overall (9 wins - 1 loss) though we do hope that next year more players will attend; both men and women. There was no one star, as everyone who played did so to the best of their ability and each win was as a team. There were many who assisted in a capacity other than playing and to all, my sincere thanks for making this season a success. *****~-k********************************* PICNIC BITS AND PIECES Don Krugmire (Computer Dept.) saved the day, when he returned to City Hall during the picnic, to run off the 'employee listings' used in the door prize drawing. We were happy to have visiting with us at the picnic, both the parents of Bob Donaldson, Mr. & Mrs. John Donaldson of Mass., and Beverly Lane, Mr. & Mrs. Charles Coon of Tampa, Fla. Sherry Meier was in such a hurry to participate in the Tug-of-War, that she tripped over a rope on a lawn canopy and then got stepped on during the competition. Vic M2.y, one of the Softball game 'managers,' forgot to include his own name in the line-up for his team, until after 4 innings had been played. Jeff, son of Jerry Groothuis, was selected to draw the names for the door prizes. Unfortunately, Jeff was unable to participate in any sports that day, due to an injury received playing football. The hottest foursome on the tennis courts were Bob Wilson, Wayne Volkman, John Bliss and his wife, Kathy. Warming up for Bobby Riggs? Special thanks to Chuck Alver, for his help in cleaning up the area after everyone else left (and in a downpour at that). ********~-k************~~**************** �lo>-~ TREATMENT PLANT NEWS BITS & PIECES FROM THE POLICE DEPT. Jerry Bender and wife are now on va. cation touring the state of Wyoming. Ron Ewig will be starting his vacation the 25th of Sept. Ron says he will work around the house and find time to do a little fishing. We are pleased to announce that Ray Zink is back home after a two week stay in the hospital. Ray will be resting and getting his strength back befor~ returning to work. Ernest Hafner will fly back to Minneapolis the latter part of this month to attend the wedding of his son, Thomas. Ernie has four daughters and three sons. All will be married now except for one daughter and one son. Max Nicholls Well, the picnic was one smashing success! Needless to say, anyone who did not attend missed a real "smashing" good time. Speaking of picnics, does anyone know the whereabouts of a tupperware bowl and lid-----large, white, last seen with a small amount of potato salad in it and the name Rankle on the bottom with masking tape. Once again, Thornton was the scene of a tragic, fatal accident, when a woman was killed at 96th and Colo. Blvd. The investigating Officer, Bruce Luedeman did a fine job in a difficult situation. How about the motorcycle patrolmen currently gracing Thornton's streets? Officers DeForest and Clanton are doing a fine job. There are many more officers doing excellent work (all of them as a matter of fact) every day but they modestly keep feats of bravery hidden from the newspaper reporter.

Thanks, gals. Most of us would never think that television cormnercials had any religious value, or that they could help us in our thinking about God. However, I have heard recently of a school teacher who suggested to the children in her class that they.take some phrases from the commercials and see if they could make them applicable to God. She was amazed at the results, and I have shared her amazement. Here is a new version of the faith of a child. God is like -Bayer Aspirin. He works wonders. God is like Ford. He's got a better idea. God is like Pan Am. He makes the going great. God is like -- Dial Soap. He gives you 'round the clock protection. God is like -- Coke. He's the real t-h. - ·- ing. God is like Scope. He makes you fee 1 fresh. God is liker -- G. E. Bulbs. He lights our path. And how is this for a climax: God is like -- Hallmark Cards. He cared enough to send the very best. · k1'.:,'{*;!. :**--,~***-)~****'': ·k*********-lri'* .k*******'"k-k BITS & PIECES FROM THE FIRE DEPT. Thornton Fire Dept. Station #2 held 'Open House' on Saturday, Sept. 1st and considering it was Labor Day week-end we had a fair turn out to see the new fire station. Approximately 80 people showed for the opening and all persons seemed well pleased with the entire station and equipment. Soda pop, doughnuts, and coffee were served and everyone, especially the young children enjoyed the special demonstrations by fire personnel. Come see us soon if you missed our open housa Now it can be told 'or admitted. 1 Yes Station #2 does have a love seat in the T. V. recreation room and what's really disconcerting about this love seat is Little Richie and Bubbles generally have it occupied so no one else has had a chance to use it. BITS AND PIECES Vic May wanted me to be sure to say thanks to the Fire Dept. for the rides given the children on the fire trucks at the Employee Picnic. It was the high light of the day for many of the kids. Sherry Meier is now Court Clerk and seems to be enjoying her duties. Welcome to Camela Nation, Merritt Hutton High School student who works afternoons for the City. You can meet her from 12:30 to 2:30 at the switchboard and from 2:30 to 5:00 at the Bldg. Department. The Northglenn Utility Office is moving to new quarters in the Northglenn Mall about the first of October. Jeff TerAvest was married Sept. 14th and we wish the new couple the best of luck and much happiness. Lucille Miller and husband have purchased a new home which they hope will be ready to move into sometime in Oct. Elaine Stockton took some well earned ti~e off to vacation in Coal Creek Canyon with relatives and planned a trip to Durango for the train trip to Silverton. Elaine, hope you had a wonderful vacation. Glad to hear that Ray Zink is out of the hospital and at home. Ray, take it easy and remember that we all think of you. I have a feeling that when this summer is over, most employees will wonder if it really happened. I can't remember a busier· or more hectic summe r , B.
