HE DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB Sgt. Wells was presented with a plaque for services as our Commander during the time we were without an official Chief of Police, at the personnel meeting on March 30th. He did a great job and we all appreciated his leadership-very much. Dee Rankle **-kk*************************************************~****************-:rk************ �.,"l'· I DID IT AGAIN Last month's paper contained more errors and egg-on-face items than ususal and once again I offer my apologies and no execuses. Probably the most unforgivable error was to leave Cel Schenfeld's name off the Directory List. Celis one of the most important members of the City Chatter staff, typing the final copy of the paper each month. Utility No. 2 should have been listed as Cel Schenfeld, Secretary to Assistant Utility Director. Utility No. 3 (which was shown as Util. No. 2) is the Eng. staff and the names were correct. There_was more than one misspelled name. Correct spelling is: Tom Carrillo, Duane Tinsley, Glenn Donharl, Penny Young and Ray Zink. The correct address of Fire Station II is 770 West 92nd Avenue (765 W. 92nd Ave. is Pony Storage, now under construction just east of Fire Station II). The address of the Meter Shop is 2291 E. 88th Ave. I called Vic for the correct address and then failed to enter it on the final copy. Water storage tanks locaced east of the Western Hills Plant were shown as three tanks with a total of 3,000,000 gallons capacity. There are three tanks there with a total capacity of 300,000 gallons which will be replaced by a 3,000,000 gallon tank. The Parks and Recreation Department offers a variety of activities taught or su- pervised by part-time employees, not just taught. Le s Ermold, new Parks and Recreation Director received his Bachelor degree in Physical Education, with a minor emphasis in Parks & Recreation, from Colorado State University and received a Masters degree in Recreation Administration from.the University of Northern Colorado in 1970. Leaving out an entire sentence did make his education sound somewhat different. As my memory serves me, I think I was doing a monthly report, my day to day job, and trying to finalize the paper, worrying about the fact the Xerox was not working, and therefore made more than the usual amount of errors. Agai~, my apologies to all. B. Lane . **********~k*******-k-k**-irl:***********~**~******irl:*********************************** -----. ,, @ .

It reads: CERTIFICATE FOR YOUR VERY OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE YOU ARE AWARDED: "ONE ATTABOY" One thousand "Attaboys" quaiifies you to be a leader of men, work overtime with a smile, explain assorted problems to management and be looked upon as a local hero. NOTE: ONE "AWSHIT" WIPES THE BOARD CLEAN AND YOU HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN I think they are trying to tell me something because everytime I put out the paper I ·would lose any "Attaboy" I had earned. Everytime I do not have enough room for the word I need on one line and cannot divide· it or come out one line short in matching columns, it tends to be my favorite expression. Sorry about that. THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT . · I suppose the only way to really know a department and how and why it functions is to work in it. There are many departments and many jobs in the City, all with their own responsibilities. The 7 months I have been working in the Building Department have taught me a great deal about the reason this department was established by the City Council Chapter 16, Section 20 of the City of Thornton Zoning Ordinance states; A. ESTABLISHMENT. There is hereby established the position of Building Inspector. It shall be the duty of the City Building Inspector to enforce these regulations and the Building Code of the City currently in effect. One of the first things I learned was that the Building Department constantly refers to books, either the Zoning Ordinance Bo~k or the Uniform Building Code book or the Uniform Mechanical Gode book or the National Electric Code book or the Uniform Plumbing Code book. These .are the rules that govern the department and one of the standard statements you hear in the Building Department is "It's in the book." I do admit that a-t times the department becomes a little hectic what with 5 fellows and 2 gals trying to answer questions and explain the rules. I wish I had t~me to learn more about all departments and the rules and responsibilities of each, but at this time I am knee deep in trying to learn the rules of the Building Department. Maybe in ten or twenty years I'll have a good idea of what is in the books. B.

Since I promised John Purkey I would send him the paper each month this seems like a good way to tell him that he is missed very much and to notify him that we found the MEDA file. It was filed in Vine Street instead of Washington St. I think the fellows were doing their own filing way back then. B. Lane " ******-kk********************-k-k********** BITS AND PIECES 0 I understand work is progressing on the Corrnnunity Building (temporary headquarters of the Parks & Recreation Department) but working conditions sound somewhat different. Remodeling dust is a constant problem, the restrooms (to heck with building inspectors, I have called them restrooms all my life) are still not working and the water is yellow. It sounds like duty above and beyond. Kay ,and F~ed Wilson, longtime residents of Thornton, on York Street, are leaving the City for travel and retirement. I haven't talked to Kay for a long time, but in a way I will miss her. She never presented me with any problem that was simple but every city needs someone like her, just to keep them on their toes and thinking. A beautiful note: Mary Kay Hayden has set the date for her wedding. June 2nd!!! Best wishes to both. Late items no one told me. Penny Conlin was off for a few days the week of April 8th for minor surgery. Linda Wollert was on vacation the week of April 8th. No details. B.

SORRY ABOUT THAT Ruth Mccullah didn't appreciate the change to daylight savings time, it ruined her beautiful view of the mountains and the new street lights and also ruined a story she did for the paper. ****-k-k****************-k-k**************** P'IUtirT'COINU.A.A, e11ATIONAL IAPITT COUNCIL �BITS AND PIECES BOWLING OFFICERS SELECTED 1·have had some interesting comments on the iast issue of the paper, on other than the errors noted elsewhere in this issue. A single gal said the City Employee Directory was great but she wished we had noted the marital status of each male employee. I was not surprised when a male employee suggested_ that we should have included the martial status of all female ~mployees and the editor has only one comment: No comment. I added my personal comment on the facilities by the switchboard and got in to trouble by not writing my comments correctly. Honest, I don't use the men's room, but do use the ladies room and it also does not have shelves, etc. I think the Xerox machine has a real personality. I thought it only stopped working when the paper was about to be run, as it did on March 14th, but found it also stops running anytime it's faced with anything important and lengthy that needs to be out on time. Ask the gals in the City, they can tell you about how it feels to tell the boss the report won't be ready. At a_recent meeting of employee bowlers, the following officers were selected for the forthcoming Summer Mixed League; Al Smith (Util. Eng.), President; Connie Swain (Util. Office), Vice-President; Barbara Taylor (Util. Office), Treasurer and Bob Donaldson (Planning), Secretary (who by the way says he will not accept the suggestion that he wear a mini-skirt to be in line with the job). The league, scheduled to begin WEDNESDAY June 19th and continue for 10 weeks, requires 8 teams of 4 bowlars each, with the cost to each bowler around $2.50 per week, part of which will be used to purchase trophies and end-of-season party. Non-employees will be permitted to bowl, with the restriction that only 2 be permitted on any one team. Interested persons should contact any of the above officers on or before May 17th, at which time an organizational and rules meeting will be held. Watch for the details in the next issue of the City Chatter. *-lri<-lri<********-k-k*******-k-k**************** Mr. & Mrs. Gerald Groothuis spent one delightful week in Hawaii during March.

When she told me most people don't realize how complicated a broken leg makes life, I challenged her to write a story for the paper. Her husband and 4 children, ages 8 to 17, all pitched .in to help in the running of a busy household, but there were problems, which she outlines in the following story. SO YOU BROKE YOUR LEG! The accident has happened and you are taken to the hospital and finally end up home with a cast encasing your leg from your toes to your hip. Yo~ endure the comments of friends and relatives on how a 41 year old woman, a mother of 5 (grandmother to one) broke her leg learning to ride a motorcycle. The entire family makes adjustments and the days go by. The persona 1 problems. you face are many and new to you. You find you can't carry anything heavy. You can't sit on the toilet straight. The sheets on the bed can't be tucked in because they weigh down your toes. You can't take a bath and you can't drive your car. After the first couple of weeks you get around better and are able to move your cast without help. Depending on the type of person you are, you can get very depressed and begin to feel sorry for yourself, and only you can solve the problem. You have a lot of time to think, and you remember things you could have done for others who have been laid up and didn't. You appreciate the many things people do for you. If you have always been an independent and active person, you find it very hard to get used to asking someone to do things for you. Life takes on a new perspective and you have a better understanding of other people and you eat a little humble pie. As time goes by, everything you learn to do is really an accomplishment and you are as proud as a small child. Then comes the big day. The cast is coming off. While you have worn it all you can think of is when it is off I can do this and that and so forth. When it does come off, you find you can hardly lift your leg, let alone walk on it. So home you go, to exercise your leg and foot and get the muscles to working again. Painful but worth it. Ten days pass and you take your first unaided steps. Word of advice------stay off motorcycles or suffer the consequences.

Changes are being made so rapidly at the Police Department, one wonders from day to day what will be "new." The Communications area sports wall to wall carpeting, electric locks on the doors and a large map. Although those responsible modestly ask that they not even be mentioned for their efforts, it seems only fair to name a few. (Those I know about, that is.) Larry McGlothlin did a very "professional" job of laying the carpet and Sgt Allen spent hours shopping and working in the Dispatch area; painting, pounding and improving. I understand that Sgt. Rickenbrode did the work and shopping on the electric locks. From all of us---Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Our Police Department now has several new officers. We're very happy towelcome one and all. Also Margie Veselik now has joined our Dispatcher team and to Margie, --- welcome. Dee Rankle Mr. Edward Volkman arrived in Denver April 10th from Black Creek, Wisconsin for a month long visit with his grandson and family, Wayne Volkman, Planning Director.
