JOE'S LAST DAY

THE NEW PHONE SYSTEM

Today will be the last day of work as
a City of Thornton Treatment Plant employee for Joe Padilla, for he is retiring.
Joe has lived in his home on Utah Ct.
for almost 20 years, raised 2 children
and has seen the City of Thornton begin,
grow and expand.
He became a City employee when the utility system was purchased from General Water Works,
(for
details, we refer you to the History of
the Utility System, printed some months
back in this paper).
There is a lot of living and working
to do in a lifetime and Joe has done his
share of both. He is a veteran of World
War II,
is a member of the local V.F.W.
and can tell you about how it was when
he worked in steel mills and coal mines.
Joe worked in many areas of the
utility system, before and after he became a City Employee.
He worked in the
meter shop back when it was in Western
Hills, has operated both the Western
Hills and Thornton Treatment Plants, has
headed up operations at the sewer plant
and has also run the softening plant.
It is impossible to summarize a man's
lifetime by writing a few lines about
his past, but possibly there are a few
things that can be written about his future.
It is hoped Joe will now have
time to do those _things he never had
enough time to do before,
that he enjoy
his retirement and that he won't forget
all his friends and fellow employees
who will miss him and who wish him well.

As most of us know,
the City is converting to a· private telephone system
separate from the Bell system.
The administration recommended this new system
for 3 basic reasons:

*******************"k-k****************'':**
SAFETY IS GOOD BUSINESS
Safety is an operational function.

An. accident is an operational failure.

**,"**********~"*****~"*****,'&lt;**************

1. The private company's equipment is
cheaper than Mountain Bell's on a
monthly basis.
2. The private company's equipment is
more advanced technically and offers more overall features.
3. Within five years,
the City would
own this equipment and would begin
saving many thousands of dollars
each year.
The new system is to be ready for
service on Friday, March 8th.
We can
undoubtedly expect some confusion at the
time but hopefully only for a short time
thereafter.
Training for use of this new system
will begin on Thursday and Friday prior
to the change over. During that time, be
patient, it will only get better.

Administrative Asst.

****************************************
ATHLETE OF THE MONTH
One of the newest members of the Administrative Staff has been selected for
recognition as Athlete of the Month. He
is Bill Fox (Personnel Director),
who
has, in the short time he has been with
the City, shown great proficiency on the
Basketball Court (at the Wednesday night
recreation hour), as well as outstanding
sportsman-like conduct. We look forward
to having Bill
participate in
other
sports programs in the future and there
is every indication he will be one of
our local "stars."

NEWS FROM WATER &amp; SEWER MAINTENANCE
We are all anxiously awaiting. Spring,
~hen the sun shines all day, with
temperatures in the mid~70's and all the
gals in their spring clothes.
We are
tired of the sun hiding behind clouds,
with temperatures in the 20's, fixing
water breaks in freezing weather and not
seeing gals wearing anything but .s Lacks ,
February 15th is the last chance you
will have to pick up your large &amp; small
game hunting license at Water &amp; Sewer
Maintenance Shop. You'll get two shots
with a sling shot. Oh, yea! The game,
well we have RATS, which are the large
game and MICE which are the small game.
If you should need any expert tutoring,
contact Jeff TerAvest, he'll show you
how to get them with one shot.
(All
joking aside, the problem we have with
rodents is one reason we are looking
forward to the new quarters that are to
be built).

A CONTINENTAL MISTAKE
T.P.D. has some gallant knights in blue
And this I can readily attest to.
Sir Bowland, in uniform and all that,
Was so chivalrous as he changed my flat.
Cavalier Larry did not hesitate at all,
When in the parking lot I did stall.
And when my starter went clink, clink,
Princely DeForest rescued me in a wink.

GREASY SPOON AWARD
This month's Lunch Room
Follies
features our well kno~m Base One Radio
Dispatcher, Ruth McCullah, who uses her
lunch hour, not to eat lunch, but to
write letters, books, shopping lists,
log sheets, etc. She is the only person
who sends out a perfumed letter which
smells like a peanut butter and jelly
sandwich. Ruth also takes a lot of kidding about her pocketbook, which looks
like a TWA flight bag, but when it comes
to dispatching, she's Number One and no
one will make fun of that.

HIS SHARE OF PROBLEMS
Jim Hogan, Police Officer, has had
his share of problems with his pets. He
had a beautiful, pedigreed fewAle dog,
and at the proper time made arrangements
for a "fine relationship" with a male
dog of the same pedigreed, hoping for a
litter of pedigreed pups. But---before
Jim could put his arrangement into effect, a wandering hobo male took a fancy
to Jim's female dog and nature took its
course. No one has any doubt that Jim
Hogan is a fine officer and equal to any
situation that might arise but it seems
that in spite of all Jim's efforts, he
ended up with a batch of half-breed pups.
It seems that Jim has also had a problem with his cat, who spurned the sand
box provided~ for it. We understand that
Jim came up with a sure fire method for
training cats in the use of the sand box,
ask him for details.

�BITS &amp; PiECES FROM THE POLICE DEPT.
Ron Strachan is presently supervisor.
over detectives and dispatchers and is
remaining in the investigations department division. Now, no one would go so
far as to say that Ron doesn't enjoy his
desk job but we are all wondering about
the fact that he broke out in a rash after an armed robbery had occured in the
City and suspects were being apprehended.
It seems the rash miraculously disappeared when he was able to leave his desk
and respond to the scene of the apprehension. We have also wondered why it
was necessary for Charlene Isbell to explain to Ron that he is not allowed to
hit women, ju~t before a dispatch meeting.
Have you seen the pretty hose Muriel·
Scally sometimes wears to work?
Officer Bob Martin and his wife became parents of a baby boy in the middle
of December. Congratulations.
It is rumored that
Sgt. Horst has
wanted to mention that a female resembling one of the Dispatchers is routinely
featured in Playboy Magazine --the
"Granny" cartoon.
(For those of you
familar with this risque magazine). Now,
what are you gonna use for blackmail to
keep your nickname out of the city newspaper, Sarge?
Nicknames to figure out:
BOBSIE I,
BOBSIE II, BOOT, CRAMPS, and BALDY.
Officer Bowland is pleased
to announce that his engagement has now been
broken --- by marriage. Congratulations.
ON THE SERIOUS SIDE
As of this writing, the Police Dept.
still does not have a new Police Chief
or Assistant to replace Matlock or
Rotella.
The recent annexations and increasing growth of residences,
apartments and so forth
has increased the
normal work load heavily but the Department is operating smoothly and efficiently. The fine teamwork shown by Officers,
Office Staff and "Acting" Command
Personnel is a real credit to the department. Presently, Sgt. Wells is Acting
Chief,
Sgt. Horst, Acting Lt. and Officers Hogan and Sidell are Acting Sgts.

acres and a population of approximately
15,000. This will include single family
multi-family and mobile home residences
as well as coI11IT1ercial
establishments.
Equipment to be housed in the new station will be highlighted by a new quint
recently purchased but yet to be delivered to the City.
Alsa in residence
will be a 1250 pumper truck and one ambulance.
The quint will serve all districts of the City, particularly, when
the need deals in high rise, concentrated commercial and school sites. Average
run time for members of the districts
served by the new station will be cut to
four minutes.
The new station will be under the
competent direction of Assistant Chief
Jim Scott.
In addition to the dedication and

Sex and Related Crimes and Self Defense
Tactics.
Again, good work by our fine
department. Instructors from this department were: Ron Strachan, Joel Sidell

�THE HOURS MIGHT BE STRANGE

BUT THE FOOD'S TERRIFIC

Most of us look forward to weekends, as a period of relaxation from our normal work loads.
If you're a Thornton Fireman, however, a weekend is often
no different from any other day.
If you're
one of those who grumble about
the
sound
of your
alarm clock disturbing your slumber,
picture yourself
being awakened at 2 a.m. by a screeching tone alarm,
alerting you to a fire

call.
While most of us can generally select a convenient time to eat our
weekend meals, as a fireman, that choice is always dictated by events which
are as unpredictable as the weather.
The commonly accepted idea that a
fireman spends his idle time watching T.V. or playing cards is totally
inaccurate, as this reporter can testify to after spending three weekend
shifts at Stations #1 and #2.
During each 24 hour tour of duty, each fireman is responsible for a variety
of duties, directly and indirectly connected to fire fighting.
They secure
City Hall after normal business hours, prepare coffee for Planning Commission and City Council meetings, do outside ground maintenance when weather
permits, review construction plans to insure adequate fire protection, inspect existing buildings to insure conformance with safety codes and are
responsible for addressing of all buildings within the Thornton City Limits.
Each shift begins at 7:30 a.m. sharp with roll-call and dress inspection,
during which time all events of the previous shift are discussed. Following
this, is an immediate check of each piece of apparatus, to insure peak operation.
Thirty-two seperate items are checked each day (from tire pressure
to seat belt operation), plus an additional 18 items once each week and
another 18 items once each month.
Assuming there have been no alarms up to this point
(which is roughly 10:30
a.m.), it is time, which this reporter looked forward to most; meal time.
Irregular as timing may be in preparing a meal, the end result is always
worthwhile. Each fireman contributes to the costs with selected individuals
chosen as chefs.
Though not an admitted fact, we understand these selected
few were chosen after some rather unappealing results by others. Though
most firemen have hardy appetites, there are a few who's food consumption
would give others heart-burn just thinking about it, such as one individual
who, after eating a full supper, proceeded to down five peanut butter sandwiches and several cups of coffee.
Fire calls are received by the Police Dispatcher, with the actual voice
communication automatically transmitted over intercom speakers located at
various points in both fire stations.
This allows the firemen to be ready
to roll to the alarm moments after the caller has hung-up.
In timing
several calls, the apparatus was leaving the station an average of 33
seconds after the alarm, including one which was received at 1:00 a.m. on
Sunday morning.
Besides the required training each fireman must participate in each shift,
nearly all of them were witnessed practicing beyond the required time,
because, as was stated in the December 14 issue of City Chatter, each man is
dedicated to the lifesaving responsibilities he has assumed.
This dedication has made the Thornton Fire Department, one which we may all be proud
of.
This reporter would like to thank Chief Carl Nelson and all the office~s and
men under his command for their assistance in making this series of Fire
Department articles possible.

�EMPLOYEE RECREATION
If you enjoy Basketball and Volleyball,
then the Wednesday Employees Recreation
Program is for you. It begins at 5:30 pm
each Wednesday (at Woodglen Elementary)
and with your support, it will be one of
the top employee programs ever. To date,
few have taken advantage of this program
which, while helping us keep fit, also
affords us the opportunity
to unwind
from our daily tasks as well as meet
with other City err;ployees with whom we
do not have regular contact. If there is
an activity other than the above sports
which you would like added, contact the
Parks &amp; Recreation Department.

OPEN UP YOUR HEART-LET THE SUNSHINE IN
Isn't it a wonderful thing when we
can make the sunshine out also? I would
like to tell you about a little seven
year old Thornton boy.
His name is
Robin and at this moment, even though
there are clouds surrounding him, he,
radiates sunshine. Those clouds I speak
of are named cancer but the sunshine is
an insight and appreciation of life that
few of us achieve.
How many of us,· when we see a tree,
can look at it as Robin does and see not
just a tree but the leaves
with their'
intricate veins or the bird building its
nest in that tree and the spider spinning its delicate
and
beautiful web.
That tree for
Robin
now is bare of
leaves as he courageously faces each day
of treatments, new shots and their side
effects.
It is my hope that,
as you
read this, we can help that tree bud again and leaf out this spring for Robin
and his family.
There has been a Robin
Daly fund established at the North Valley Bank, Will you be a part of helping
the sun shine and open up your heart and
give?
Love wasn't put in the heart to stay,
For love isn't love until we give it away,

PROFESSIONAL BOWLERS TOUR NEXT?
Each week an increasing number of people
are giving their all at the Friday night
Bowling at the Westminster Lanes at 6:30
(73rd &amp; Lowell Blvd,), with some rather
k~en competition developing, John Purkey
(Bldg, Dept.) and Al Smith (Util. Eng.),
are giving Bob Donaldson (Planning) some
worries, as they close the gap between
1st and 3rd place. Vic May (Meter Shop),
put on a rush last week which put him in
4th place among the male bowlers. At the
same time, Elaine Stockton (Bookkeeping)
hangs onto high average for the women
with Peggy Carroll (P &amp; R) and Connie
Swain (Util. Office) close behind. Below

NEW DANCE?

There is a new form of body motion
which has been witnessed at the Friday
night bowling, referred to as the-----"Purkey Shuffle".
Chief Building
Inspector, John Purkey is the_ originator
of this movement and if he ever decides
to trade-in his bowling ball for a guitar, Elvis will havi some real competition.

�EME RGENCY ME DICAL TECHNICIANS
Wh ile the Th ornton Fire Department
has always been very proud of the men who
man the ambulances, the Emergency Medical Technical Technician Program has served to
further increase this pride.
To obtain certification as an E.M.T. the man must attend ~lasses at the sponsoring hospital one day per week for 58 weeks.
At
the end
of this schooling he spends a period of time in the
hospital emergency room and operating rooms for further training.
Th en he must pass a rigid written
and practical examination.
When you see the small blue and white patch on a fireman's sleeve,
you can be assured this is a man who has dedicated himself to helping others.
Our men have
further distinguished
themselves
to a point
that they are constantly being called
by the
course directors to act as evaluators at practical examinations or to lecture at E.M.T. ciasses.

BIT.S &amp; PIECES FROM THE UTILITY DEPT.
Congratulations
are in order for
Genevieve Shake, who became Mrs. Floyd
Pierce on
Saturday, February 2nd. We
wish them the greatest happiness and joy
that two such nice people deserve.
As most of you are aware, Mr. Leroy
Knipe, (City Purchasing Agent and Office
Yianager for the Utility Dept.) is in St.
Anthonys North Hospital.
He underwent
surgery on Sunday, February 3rd. He is
reported doing well and barring any complications, he should be back with us on
February 20th. We all wish him a speedy
recovery and send our best regards.
We're glad to have Penny Young back
to work after spending a week in the

BITS &amp; PIECES FROM THE ST~EET DEPT,
Things at the Street Department have
been pretty busy lately.
We just finished tearing down the old Highlander
Building and moving it to the City Shop
Area, It took many hours and a lot of
them in very cold weather,
We also have been doing a little snow
removal, If you have ever wondered how
much it costs the City to maintain the
streets during a snow storm, here are a
few facts.
It cost the City $3,185.04
to sand and plow the streets during the
storm of February 5th and 6th.
From
4:30 p.m. the 5th until 8:00 a.rn. on the
6th, a total of 15~ hours, so just think
what the cost of the storm was we had
just before Christmas.
