THANKS I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Thornton Police and Fire Departments for their very fast response on my recent accident at 84th Avenue and the North Valley Shopping Center entrance. Less than four minutes is moving, fellas, thanks! A special thanks to Jim Randall for the expert, professional care given to a certain item that I vaguely remember telling him and possibly a couple of other people about. Vic May Meter Shop PltWffl. OtNU.~ i&:1 • A T I O ll A L SA f( T Y CO U N C IL *********************************************************************** BITS & PIECES FROM BEVERLY Gene Hunter, Electrical Inspector, underwent surgery February 19 at Valley View Hospital for removal of a malignant tumor in his throat. We are praying for Gene's complete recovery and will let you know when he is able to have visitors. Dennis Kuckelman noted that on February 5 Cary Palmer wore socks that were the same color. I wonder if that means Cary doesn't usually wear matching socks or if Dennis was just making conversation? I hope to be able to say in the near future that the wall in the Building Department has been finished. Work is progressing very slowly. Changes again in basement personnel: Jim Keller moved to the 2nd floor and Tom Haynes moved to the basement. I understand (via the grapevine) that we can expect more new faces in the basement in the near future. If anyone has the idea all the Building Department does is to issu~ permits and make inspections -- think again. We have the most interesting conversations with citizens and contractors, sometimes in person and sometimes on the phone. On one day during the past month our conversations covered the following topics: requirements for C.B. antennaes, fences on corner lots, two inquiries regarding room additions, two inquiries regarding requirements for homeowners finishing basements, four calls ftom contractors who were bidding on a $200,000 new church and wanted to know our requirements for licensing and permits. Things are rarely quiet in the Building Department. Probably the most interesting two calls this past month was one with a young lady concerning our requirements for a health studio, which, after a ten-minute conversation, turned out to be a proposed massage parlor, and one concerning Building Department requirements in connection with the drilling of an oil well. Both calls found us scrambling for copies of ordinances and doing some serious reading before answering questions. But if anyone should call in the future on massage parlors or oil wells, we're well versed on the subject and know exactly what to tell them. B.J. Lane *********************************************************************** �------------------------ - -· ·-·· ·- ... ' •·-·---- -- - ---- THE BALLAD OF THE BRONCOS The Denver Broncos of A.F.L. sham~, Entered the N.F.L. to seek their fame. With a coach as well-known as Lou Saban, They were sure to enter Super Bowl Haven. But the team under Saban showed no grit, And they were soon at the bottom of the pit. They had Rich Jackson and a back named Little, But they weren't enough to solve the riddle. The fans' spirits were sinking low, So 'ole Lou left for Buffalo. Then along came Ralston with just one goal, To take the Broncos to the Super Bowl. His first season was just the same, They weren't ready for Super Bowl fame. The next year they came oh so close, Next year was their year, that was no boast. The fans just couldn't wait for the upcoming season, An expected Super Bowl visit was the reason. But again the Broncos came up short, They just weren't the Super Bowl sort. In '75, with Armstrong out for the year, The Super Bowl dream was dead, that was clear. The fans became very irate, For their team was second-rate. So the Broncos are back in the same old groove, With nothing to lose, and everything to prove. Jerry Groothuis submitted this short poem for us. His son, Jeff, wrote it just for fun. *********************************************************************** VACATION NEWS FLU BUG HITS CITY HALL One of the worst flu epidemics has hit City Hall. It seems that nearly everyone either has come down with it or is recuperating from it. To mention only a few of the people it has hit: Bob Donaldson, Tom Clouser, Jerry Groothuis, Jim Keller, Jim Castrodale, Sherry Meier, Elaine Stockton, Lucille Miller, Ruth McCullah, Evelyn Utterback, Gel Eggers, Cary Palmer, Al Smith, Dennis Kuckelman, Duane Tinsley, and Mary Winterhof. It seems like everyone above came down with the flu at the same time. Also, Bob Donaldson's 2½ year old daughter, Tracy, came down with the flu and was admitted to Valley View Hospital Friday, February 20, We all hope she will be well soon. Penny Conlin took time off to go skiing over the holidays. She reported the slopes were so crowded that she didn't get in very much skiing. Jim and Karen Perry and Sandra and Gary Kailey also went skiing over the holidays in February. Doris Rohret has returned from her two week vacation. Doris spent her vacation at home with company from Canada. She also got some of her daughter's wedding preparations out of the way. Lucille Miller will accompany her husband, Bill, to Oklahoma City on March 10, 11 and 12, where Bill will be competing in a bowling tournament. Good luck, Bill. Jim and Karen Perry will be on vacation during the week of March 14. They will stay in Bre6kenridge and will be skiing all the ski areas with part of Karen's family and friends from Texas. Jim says they will either be dead or at least broken when they return. *********************************************************************** �WHO'S KEEPING THE ,l STORE?

On February 14 at 11:30 a.m. the Air Force Academy Falconairs rock and jass ensemble performed. Their performance was followed at 1:30 p.m. by the Flag Dedication ceremony dedicating the 50 state flags. Immediately following the dedication was a concert by Today's Generation, the official Adams County Centennial-Bicentennial Chorus. Estimated crowd for the concert and the dedication ceremony was five thousand people. The keynote speaker at the Flag Dedication ceremony was Mayor Richter. Bob Donaldson made two presentations of official Colorado Centennial patches to the Today's Generation and the Adams County Chamber of Commerce Executive Club, officially recognizing them for their contributions to the Committee. After the concert by Today's Generation, Ruth Blackburn, ventriloquist, gave a performance that was viewed and enjoyed by about one hundred youngsters. Later in the day, another concert was given by Northland Choral and the Foothill Wanderers Trio, both of which gave well-received performances. The Highland High School Band was formally designated as the official Thornton Centennial-Bicentennial Band at ceremonies (February 13) Friday evening at the Mall, which was preceded by a one-hour concert. This 130-member band will lead the Festival Days parade on June 26 in which there is anticipated over one hundred marching units. Anyone wishing to serve on any of the committees, please contact Bob Donaldson, extension 214. Just a reminder, Bonanza Sirloin Pit is still having a Steak-A-Thon Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights, through the end of February with the proceeds going to the Centennial-Bicentennial Committee. *********************************************************************** HAPPY BIRTHDAY ' Don't forget to wish the following nice people Cel Eggers - - - - - Utilities Adm. - - Fred Davidson - - - Water/Sewer Mtce.
