I feel the city of Thornton has an outstanding fire and police department, and I was happy to see these departments are appreciated by other members of the community, as well: t •' - ..! Special praises to a group of people who provide an exemplary program of assistance to everyone in this school, Thornton Fire Department and Thornton Police Department. In the four years that I have been at Meritt Hutton, we have hadphenomenal general support and emergency service from these agencies. Within the past two years, the rescue unit has arrived at the doors of this school within three minutes of the time the call requesting service was completed. We have had several painful and ugly injuries of youngsters at school and the careful, compassionate emergency treatment provided by the members of the rescue unit is a warming human experience. These men know the terror of shock and the nagging fear faced by the injured youngster, and their calm, deliberate action relieves the fears of concerned friends and relatives. The fire inspection service has provided us with valuable information which has been used to correct situations which were dangerous. The Police Department has provided speakers in drug education, special counseling for serious situations, legal advice and immediate response to requests for assistance. There has been evidence of only one attempted break-in at the school since September, and that must set some kind of record in effective patrolling since our isolation makes us an easy target and a difficult area to "cover" effectively. It is indeed reassuring for a!l of us to have the superior services of Thornton Fire and Police Departments. To all of you guys and gals my sincerest thanks for helping us build an even better America. Members of fire and police departments have been referred to as pigs by some groups. Somewhere, in the past, I recall reading the following: PIGS - Pis Pride, I is Integrity, G is Guts, and Sis Service. I hope that I am one of the American PIGS. Vernon R. Smith, Principal Penny Conlin City Clerk *********************************************************************** �THANKS ATTENTION BIKERS I would like to t~ank, on behalf of my wife, Jackie, and myself, the city administration for the beautiful flower arrangement and all the wonderful cards from the employees.

Our reserve unit, located at Buckley Air National Guard Base, is called Area Analysis Unit 2118. We are an air intelligence outfit which falls under the direction of FICPAC or Fleet Intelligence Center, Pacific located next to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Our mission is that of support for FICPAC in the analysis and interpretation of aerial photography associated with the Pacific theater. As reservists, we must annually perform two weeks of Active Duty, either attending one of the Navy's top-notch schools or performing onthe-job training with our sponsor organization, FICPAC. Unlike most reserve organizations, we have a choice as to where we would like to go and, to some degree, when we would like to go. We are also unique in that we don't perform our Active Duty as a unit, but individually or with one or two others from our unit. This year I elected to take O.J.T. at FICPAC. Although I had been there two years ago as a reservist, I really looked forward to it once more. I flew to San Francisco on a Thursday evening and boarded the military airlift, a C-118, the following morning at Alameda Naval Air Station. For those of you who don't know what a C-118 is, picture an old four-engine propeller job that cruises at about 200 m.p.h. and there you have it. Oh, don't forget the box lunches! It was a long 11-hour flight to Hawaii and needless to say, a quite boring one. We landed at Barbers Point Naval Air Station around 1800 hours (that's 6:00 p.m. for you sand crabs) Hawaii time. From there we proceeded to our quarters, which were brand new, showered and headed down to Waikiki Beach for some good chow. After about a six-course meal, we changed to our swimsuits (in the car) and took a midnight dip in the Pacific Ocean. We had that entire weekend to ourselves and reported to FICPAC Monday morning at 7:30 a.m. Contrary to popular belief, we did work while we were stationed at FICPAC, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., five days a week. The weekend found us frying in the sun, sailing, surfing and scuba diving. I have some great underwater pictures of the aquatic life around the island. We also played a lot of tennis and handball during our noon hours and after work. By the end of the two weeks I was more than ready to come home, and I flew out on Saturday morning on Continental Airlines (sure beats a military airlift). If anyone is planning on going to Hawaii in the future, I would be more than happy to tell them some of the good places to go and more important, what places aren't worth seeing. Aloha!

When you pay too much, you lose a little money, that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot -- it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better. Devere King ********************************** FOR SALE Four rims & tires to fit Jeep or½ ton Ford pickup - $40.00.

See or call * On Monday, March 22, 1976, George Stanley from the Street Department received a $100 savings bond for a suggestion. George suggested that minor repairs on traffic signals, such as replacing burnt out bulbs and broken lenses, be made by the city instead of by the contractor. George felt that this type of program would save the city a considerable amount of money. After some discussion of the matter, the suggestion was accepted; and it has been estimated that this new system of minor maintenance on traffic signals will save the city about $2,000. According to the suggestion program, George was awarded a $100 savings bond. Congratulations, George! Bob Young Personnel Director * 1967 International Travelall. $850.00.

Mayor Richter presented Dennis with the award nomination at the March 8 City Council meeting along with a plaque and a $25 savings bond. Dennis has worked for the city since July, 1974. During this time he has contributed greatly to the efficient functioning of the Utilities Engineering Division. In addition, he has contributed much time and effort to additional duties such as the Wage and Salary Survey Committee, Utilities Safety Committee and the 1976 Bicentennial Committee. During his relatively short time with the city, Dennis has earned the respect and loyalty of all those with whom he has been associated. His "can do" attitude and congenial personality make him a definite asset to the city. Congratulations, Dennis! ********************************** �NEIGHBORS AGAINST CRIME TOGETHER (ACT) Neighbors Against Crime Together (ACT) is a new program aimed at reducing impact crimes in the Denver area. Impact crimes are crimes against persons -- burglary, robbery, rape and assault. Through Neighbors Against Crime Together you can learn how to prevent these crimes from happening to you. If you eliminate the opportunities, you can prevent the crimes. Neighbors ACT will teach you to eliminate these opportunities. You can also learn how to work together with your neighbors to make your home and neighborhood safer and more secure. If you are interested in protecting yourself (and who isn't?), call 534-1671. There is no sell job, no high-priced gimmicks. Neighbors ACT will send you a pamphlet, at no charge, giving information on how to prevent burglary, robbery, rape and assault; such as how to secure your home; exchanging information with your neighbors and keeping an eye on each other and their property; and a lot more. There is no way a police officer can be put on every street corner and more equipment is not the answer. Let's help the police to help us. All it takes is a little common sense. We're all in this together. Together we can put thugs, thieves and rapists OUT OF BUSINESS! The number to call again, is 534-1671. Linda ********************************** HELP!!

The plans were prepared by Key/Fletemeyer and Associates of Boulder, the City's parks and recreation consultant. The park is a joint effort between the city and School District #12. City residents will use the park for recreation purposes and School District #12 will utilize it for recreation and instructional purposes. Construction work will include a playground, two tennis courts, a basketball court, bike paths and a large nature area. Also, external landscaping is planned throughout the park and existing trees and shrubs will be retained where possible. The nature area will be retained in its natural state insdfar as possible. However, the area does include a small pond that can be filled to a depth of approximately four feet. In the winte~, the pond's water level will be lowered to a depth of two feet to provide a safe area for ice skating. A shelter and fire ring will be constructed overlooking the pond. Existing plant and animal life will be retained for environmental studies by students of School District #12. Theirrigation ditch which passes through the property will be widened and its banks will be sloped and grassed. The city staff is now reviewing the construction documents prior to advertising for bids. Construction is scheduled to begin this spring. A construction completion date has not been established. *********************************************************************** NEW EMPLOYEES Since the beginning of the year the city new employees.

One week to be devoted to geology and the other to anatomy. He believes that way, rookie officers could tell their rears from a hole in the ground. Captain Baldwin is being sent to the FBI Academy so he can learn to say "Incredible!" and "Isn't that amazing!" instead of "No kidding!" Officer Sidell informed Officer Schutz that smoking made him sick. Schutz responded, blowing smoke rings, "Joel, if I were you, I'd give it up." QUESTION: ANSWER: "How come the church is so crowded?" "There's a fireman down there confessing his sins." People interested in a City river trip this year are requested to contact Joel Sidell, 287-6591, soon to arrange a date for the trip. Joel says the best time to run is in June, because the water is faster. Therefore, we have to hurry. All weekend trips, except the Gore Rang~ which runs off the Colorado River, have already been sold out. The Gore Range is the river the City trip went on last year. FUN FOR ALL. We would like to welcome the newest dispatchers aboard. There has been a tremendous improvement in morale, work output, and people available to dispatch on given shifts. We are equally thrilled to have the new cadets aboard. So, to Mary Blagg, Arlene Stapp, Sandy Zellner -WELCOME, WELCOME. The four new cadets are Dave Hayes, Lynn Hinshaw, Dale Holden and Kathy Vlaanderen. These cadets work approximately thirty hours per week, along with attending college classes. They hopefully will be training to become police officers in the future. They ride occasionally with the officers, take reports at headquarters, will learn dispatch duties, and other diversified duties will be assigned to them. The Dispatchers' newest motto is: We the willing, led by the unknown, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much for so long with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing! Karm Sunday *********************************************************************** �BOWLING TRIP BITS & PIECES FROM UTILITIES After driving through Kansas and Oklahoma in the dead of night, my husband, his brother, his brother's wife and myself arrived in Oklahoma City about 10:00 a.m. on Thursday morning. Bill and his brother weren't exactly wide awake and ready to participate in the ABC Bowling Tournament, and I am afraid their scores showed it. Although they did not do very well in the tournament, they were glad to have the experience and are already talking about next year's tournament. I think my sister-inlaw and I may be looking forward to next year's tournament a little more, since there are more things to do between bowling in Reno than in Oklahoma City! Lucille Miller Freda Davis took two days off recently to look at the property in Boulder that she and her husband have a chance to buy for $1.00. Nancy Vincent took a nice sevenday vacation the 22nd to the 31st of March -only to enjoy a week of remodeling their house. Maybe she will be glad to come back here tomorrow. Bert Kaspar was ill with the flu the week of the 15th. Hope everyone has come down with it and gotten over it so we can all get back to the old routine. We would all like to give a warm welcome to our new office manager, Mr. James Lease; and we wish him a lot of luck! Well, that's all for March. *********************************************************************** BITS & PIECES Our sincere sympathy to Art Pontow whose father passed away during the month of February. We understand that Art's father had been ill for some time. Jim Perry attended a three-day conference on Colorado City Management at the Brown Palace Hotel on February 25, 26 and 27. One of the featured speakers on the program was Jim Castrodale. Vic May's wife, Jackie, had emergency surgery on February 24. We hope she is feeling better now and is well on the way to recovery. At a luncheon on Thursday, February 26, at the Botanical Gardens, Mayor Tony Richter accepted a Blue Spruce on behalf of the city of Thornton. The Blue Spruce was given to the city for placing third in the contest sponsored by Keep Colorado Beautiful during the year 1975. The tree will be planted at City Hall. Also attending the luncheon was Tom Clouser. Beverly Lane went to Florida on March 9 to visit with her father before he went into the hospital for surgery. Welcome to Mr. James Lease who will be taking over as new Office Manager. Mr. Lease is a long-time resident of Thornton and was formerly a member of the Thornton Planning Commission. Congratulations to Dennis Kuckelman on winning the Employee of the Month Award for March. Tom Clouser has the perfect way to get rid of obscene phone callers. He just tells them they are doing it all wrong. It makes the caller so mad that he hangs up first! Welcome to Ward Horton, the new Parks and Recreation Director. It's nice having you aboard. We were all sorry to see Aileen James leave the city. Aileen has been with the city for the past two years. Good luck, Aileen. Tom Clouser's sister, brother-in-law and nephew are spending a few days visiting Tom. They are on vacation from Rockford, Illinois. Tom reported that after a few days, his nephew has his apartment in such a state that it could be declared a disaster area. *********************************************************************** �1976 SALARY SURVEY COMMITTEE The first meeting of the 1976 Wage and Salary Survey Committee will be held on Friday, April 9, in the second floor conference room of the main City Hall building at 2:00 p.m. This year, the committee will be made up of non-supervisory personnel only, and supervisors will not be involved. Each of the following areas will elect or designate one representative for the Wage and Salary Survey Committee: Police Fire Utility Maintenance & Meter Shop Plant Operators Engineering & Building Inspection to include Utility Engineering Plant & Vehicle Maintenance Parks & Recreation Street Maintenance & Sanitation Administrative & Clerical to include Clerks, Keypunch Operators, Dispatchers, etc. I am confident that the 1976 committee will do as excellent and responsible a job in recommending a pay plan for 1977 as the 1975 committee did. I look forward to meeting with you on April 9. Bob Young Personnel Director *********************************************************************** IN ANSWER TO "A JANITOR, A JANITOR, WHAT'S THAT?" I had the best intentions of getting this article in the February issue, but, as usual, even though I started writing it in my head the minute I first read the article about the city's Custodial Division, I'm running late again! I, too, am proud of my profession. I, too, have taken many continuing education courses, some college, and have spent 20 years at my job trying to improve myself. But, I, too, have been called by many things other than what I consider my rightful title; such as, THE girl, MY girl, the clerk, the receptionist, etc., etc. I haven't been a girl for some time now, much less anybody's girl in particular except my husband's; I haven't been a clerk for 18 years and I was never a receptionist! But, I know that when people call me by these other miscellaneous titles, they mean no disrespect. It's like calling a policeman a cop. I've called them cops since long before it became a dirty word, and it's just too much of a habit now to change. Just because the word has taken on a different connotation over the years, it doesn't mean that it has changed my opinion of them, or our janitors (custodians), since I still feel they are great. Les, when I think before I speak, I would never refer to you as a janitor, only because I know that for some reason, it is offensive to you. By the same token, when I get stopped by one of the city's "men in blue," I take the time to remember they do not like to be called cops. I've learned over the years, though, not to listen to what I'm called, but the way they call me. You see, we all get touchy once in awhile, but I've learned to accept Shakespeare's philosophy: ''What is in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE WORLD'S MANY PROFESSIONAL SECRETARIES *********************************************************************** �BITS FROM THE BASEMENT There have been many changes made in the basement during the past month; the first being the forming of this column, which it is hoped will be one of the best turned in for the monthly employee paper. One of the first changes in basement personnel occurred just before the 15th of March when Will Fisher moved into his new office in the old City Shop building. Next month there will be a story on Will's new office and lab. The lab is very complex and will mean a great deal to the city. Will's move was followed by some shifting of furniture and office assignments; and Ward Horton, new Parks & Recreation Director, was wel- comed aboard, as was Joe Mirandy, new Planning Technician. After several days of juggling incoming phone calls, some phone changes were made, and we are able to provide you with the following list of basement personnel and their correct extension numbers: UTILITIES PARKS & REC.

Someone, during the week of March 21, took better than a thousand feet of six-foot chain link from the fence around Croke Lake. Beverly Lane wants to thank everyone for their prayers and concern on behalf of her father who had major surgery March 19. She reports he is doing very well but will need more surgery in two or three months. Libby Leopard took a mini-vacation starting March 24 and took her son, Doug, to Disney World in Florida. He is graduating from high school this spring, and this trip was Libby's gift to the senior. Mary Winterhof, Beverly Lane and Libby Leopard have started on a new concept of clerical staffing, under the direction of Mr. Wilson, which is proving to be a great help to all basement employees. More on this next month. Gene Hunter, Electrical Inspector, is home and recovering from his recent serious surgery. He has lost a lot of weight but looks good and slowly but surely is getting his strength back. the second Ralph Derr, Building Inspector, became a grandfather for Ask to see time and now has two granddaughters to take pictures of. his pictures, they're really good.

No comment. *********************************************************************** �SALARY SURVEY COMMITTEE • . N As we begin to start into the Salary Survey process to recommend salaries for 1976 in the city, it might be worthwhile to review the past performance of this committee. The committee was originally started~ 1972, and was made up of representatives elected from various areas in the city. Since that time, the representation of the committee has remained pretty much the same with the exception of 1975 when the supervisors were allowed to participate. For 1976, the supervisors will not be involved. The past performance of the Salary Survey Committee has been excellent and it might be worthwhile to review the quality and responsibility of their recommendations. In 1972, the Salary Survey Committee recommended a total salary increase package of 11%, 5% was cost of living, 2% was in salary adjustments, 3.2% was in fringe benefits, and 2.6% was in merit increases. According to the Consumer Price Index, the cost of living in the Denver Metro area went up 9.9%. · In 1974, the Salary Survey Committee recommended a total package of 12.4% of which 8% was cost of living, .1% was in salary adjustments, 1.7% was in fringe benefits and 2.6% was in merit increases. During 1974, the Consumer Price Index went up 13.1%. In 1975, the committee recommended a cost of living increase of 12%, salary adjustments of .1% and merit increases of 2.6%, for a total of 14.7%. During 1975, the cost of living Consumer Price Index went up 5.4%. The recommendations for 1976 included 4.5% for cost of living, 1.1% for salary adjustments, 2% for fringe benefits and 2.5% for merit increases, a total package of 10.1%. Naturally, at this time how much the cost of living will increase during 1976 is unknown. This year's Salary Survey Committee will be attempting to estimate this factor. Basically, all the information above means that during the years 1972 through 1975, the cost of living in the Denver Metro area has gone up a total of 31.7% and the Salary Survey Committee has recommended total salary increases of 48.2%. Thus, the committee's recommendations have exceeded just the cost of living by 16.5%. Of course, a portion of this 16.5% is related to upgrading salaries into a competitive level which is precisely the purpose of the committee. These figures show that the Salary Survey Committee is an extremely important part of the past and future of the city of Thornton. Its recommendations are based on facts and its effect has been to improve considerably the salaries of employees in Thornton. It is unlikely that any other city in the Metro area can offer a system that is fairer or more responsible than this committee. As we enter into the 1976 Salary Survey program to determine the 1977 pay package, you all are encouraged to support the efforts of this committee. It has performed superbly in the past.
