LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
February 10, 19??
Dear Editor:
I wonder how many people watched the movie ROOTS.
More interesting, how many saw the close similarity between the black
slaves and white masters of the past,
and the white slaves and great
white government master of today?
The negroes were bought and soZd by wealthy landowners.
We are
bought and soZd by wealthy, greedy or crooked politicians.
They were
beaten with whips; we are beaten with government controls.
They were
run into the ground by cruel masters; we are run into the ground by
cruel taxes and regulations.
They were denied reading and writing; we
are denied freedom of speech by biased or controZZed news media.
They
were not aZZowed weapons for fear by masters of rebeZZion; we are Zosing
our rights to firearm ownership for the same reason.
The white masters
could use, abuse or misuse black slaves, to any degree,
at any time or
place.
Our great white government master can and does do the same.
It was sometimes possible for slaves to earn or buy their freedom,
which was verified by a paper, which many times was not honored or respected by other whites.
We are guaranteed our freedoms and rights by
our Constitution, which, many times our great white government master
wiZZ not honor, and is bit by bit, reducing to something Zess than what
ZittZe rights the slaves had.
Think about it.
Times have changed, circumstances are different, the roles of master
and slave have changed,
BUT, are we any different, any better, or any
better off than the poor black slaves of 200 years ago?
People who watched the movie and Zove freedom would do weZZ to attend
the Wyoming Patriot Convention to be heZd at Casper March 4 and 5.
The
fight for the Constitution and freedom is everybody's fight.
Think about it!!!!

HUNKS AND CHUNKS FROM THE STREET DIVISION

~

.•

This month I have some good news and some bad news to talk about.
First,
I would like to congratulate Dick Gerbitz, our employee of the
month for January. Dick has been with the City for eight years, starting in the Sanitation Division picking up trash for the first year;
then transferring to the Street Division.
In the Street Division he
has worked his way up to Crew Leader.
One of Dick's most recent projects was the painting of four 0£ our
trucks.
When the project first began he knew very little about painting, but as luck would have it, our very own Kevin Salman is a body and
paint man.
So, together they showed us how to sand them down and get
the trucks ready to be painted.
Then Kevin showed Dick how to use a
spray gun, how to mix the paint and how to finish the job.
We all had
some part in sanding or using a brush to paint the frames, but the most
time and effort put into the first two trucks (Units #861 and #841) was
by Dick and Kevin.
Kevin showed me a few basics on Unit #838 and when
he became ill and couldn't continue the painting, Dick and I painted
Unit #837.
As everyone will see, Unit #837 didn't come out as nice as
the other trucks and we have taken a lot of teasing about it; but all I
can say is, -"There's one truck to go - - 1 et' s see what some other people
can do!"
We're glad Dick made employee of the month and are proud to have him
in our division.
Some of the bad news I mentioned was about Kevin.
The doctor found
two spots on his lungs, so he had to give up smoking and painting.
We
hope this will clear up his situation.
My bit of bad luck happened about three weeks ago.
I was sitting on
the couch with my wife watching TV when we heard a very strange noise
right outside our house.
So, I went running out to see what was going
on.
All I could see was flames shooting out of my attic around the
fireplace.
Well, to make a long story short -- no one got hurt; I had
a week's vacation coming, so I got the worst of it back together; and
last Saturday, I got my new chimney up.
Now, all I have left to do is
a little painting and everything will be replaced and in better shape
than when I bought the house!

NEWS FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT

WELCOME!
We would like to welcome Mr.
Bob Weeks to the Sanitation Division.
Bob was born and raised
in Denver and will be 26 years old
in March.
He attended George
Washington High School where he
met his wife, Debbie. They have a
10-month old son, Derke.
He and
his wife enjoy snow and water skiing and in his spare time, Bob
likes to work on cars.
Let's give a warm welcome to
Steve Blanford who is our new
Sales Tax Auditor. He comes to us
from Osoro &amp; Associates, a consulting firm in downtown Denver.
He
and his wife, Nancy, have one son,
Jeff, age 6. Steve enjoys playing
and listening to music, reading,
camping, and he also grows a few
plants.
It's nice to have you
with us, Steve.
Jay Simmons started his duties
as CCAC Director on February 14.
Jay didn't seem to be the least
bit disturbed with the mountain of
work that was waiting for him. We
sure are glad to have you aboard,
Jay.

The Fire Department has added a
new firefighter to its forces. He
is Jim Bourn. Mr. Bourn, his wife
and two children reside in Longmont,
Colorado. Firefighter Bourn comes
to our department with previous
firefighting r .p e r i eric e with the
Longmont Fire epartment and last
year was er loyed by the Kodak
Company in 1eir fire protection
division.
Training is proceeding rapidly
on the aer 11. The new truck will
be placed into service around the
first of ~he month.
Now that the Police Department
has moved into its new offices,
construction is expected soon on
the remodeling of Station #1 and
the administrative offices of the
Fire Department.
Due to the lack of moisture in
the area, the department has been
busier than normal with a rash of
grass and field fires.
Employees
are reminded to be very careful
with any possible source of ignition due to the extremely dry conditions.

***********************************************************************
BITS FROM THE BASEMENT
A warm welcome to Eric Pahlke, our new Public Works Director, who
started work February 22.
Bob Kochevar, Traffic Engineer,
is already at home in the basement
after starting work the first part of February.
Congratulations to Gene and Jane Hunter on the birth of a granddaughter February 17.
Gene says he'll be calling her Daisy June.
Of
course, he calls his grandson Beauregard Fitzwolf, which is not what
his parents call him so maybe Daisy June has another name.
I would like to suggest that we all practice turning off lights in
City Hall.
It only takes a moment to turn off lights in an office,
over your desk, etc.
It seems a shame to see so many lights on where
no one is using them when electricity is so expensive and in
short
supply.
The candy dish on the counter in the basement has proved to be great
fun and if you enjoy a small sweet treat now and then, you're invited
to contribute either some candy or cash.

THORNTON OPENS NEW PARK

~

•

On Saturday, January 8, 1977, the City of Thornton dedicated Phase I
of the first major park the city has ever designed and built as an integral project over a short period of time.
The Woodglen Nature Park,
located~ Woodglen Boulevard and North Madison Street, was a joint project with Adams County School District No. 12. The school district became interested in the project because Woodglen Elementary School is
directly adjacent to the park. The park will also be used as an outdoor
laboratory for the district's science classes.
The active area of the
park near Madison Street features two lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, a large open grass area and an innovative playground. Toward
the back of the nine-acre park is a pond ringed by many old Cottonwoods
that are the homes of many birds. A pathway along the Union irrigation
ditch is a connecting link in the Woodglen bikeway that comes out of
Northglenn and will eventually lead to the South Platte River bikeway
corridor.
Phase II of Woodglen Nature Park is now in the final design stage
and will be built this summer with the help of a grant from the Bureau
of Outdoor Recreation. Phase II will contain a restroom facility, picnic shelter, tot playground and more landscaping.
The park serves a
subdivision containing over 1200 single family homes and townhouses.

CITIZENS PARTICIPATE IN PARK PLANNING
The residents of the Yorkborough subdivision, located in southcentral Thornton, have a real voice in the nine-acre park that will
soon be a reality in their neighborhood. Yorkborough is a new subdivision containing 570 single family homes. The park area, with an adjoining three-acre future school site,
is completely surrounded by the
homes.
The City of Thornton commissioned the Landplan Design Group of
Denver to design the park area and develop an effective means for the
residents to participate in the process. Other communities in the area
have held public park planning meetings that have been dominated by
special interest groups.
This method was deemed to be unfair to all
the citizens and discarded by Thornton.
It was the City's desire to
create pride and cohesiveness in this new neighborhood by bringing the
citizens together with the city in a common effort -- their new park.
The LDG retained Dr. Bernie Jones, of Social Change Systems, Inc., to
develop a questionnaire that would reflect the true desires of all the
citizens.
Dr. Jones developed a short but comprehensive questionnaire
with a special section for the children.
Citizen volunteers carried
the questionnaire to each home in Yorkborough and returned several days
later to collect it.
After the data was tabulated, all residents were
notified of a meeting at the Thornton Recreation Center (several blocks
south of Yorkborough) to discuss the questionnaire, physical site limitations and general programming. Ward councilpersons, City staff members and the Landplan Design Group met with the citizens.
Future meetings will be held for continual citizen input in the design process.
The final product will reflect the leisure needs of the Yorkborough
neighborhood.

I DON'T HEAR AS WELL AS I USED TO
I don't hear as well as I used to, God.
People have to shout and repeat things.
Frankly, a lot of what they have to say
Isn't worth repeating,
And the world's too noisy anyway.
The important thing is, I can hear,
What I really want to:
The children, when they were little,
Saying, "I love you, Mama."
Dan, when we lost all our savings,
Saying, "Hold me, Anne."
Stephen, in front of all 'those people,
Saying, "My mother should be receiving this honor
Instead of me."
My father-in-law, dying, laying his hand on my hair,
"You're a good gel, Annie.
Carry on."
It's no fun going deaf,
But there are worse things,
And I do have a lot of good memories
To listen to.

BITS FROM SANITATION
"Better late than never!"
It's a poor excuse, but the Sanitation
Division would like to welcome Doyle Weeks to the force.
Doyle started
with us November 22, 1976, and is doing an outstanding job for both
Larry Simpson and Steve Young, his immediate bosses; and more importantly, the City.
Another newcomer is Richard Wynne who started February 10, 1977.
Rich will be a floating man being utilized by both the Sanitation and
Street Divisions. Welcome aboard, men!
Congratulations are in order for the ever-versatile Chuck Alver
(C.C. Whitehorse, his C.B. handle) who was promoted to Maintenance
Specialist I effective January 1, 1977.
After eight years with the
City, Chuck was finally rewarded his dues.
Keep up the good work,
Chuck, on your very own Shu-Pak.
In the early weeks of April the Sanitation Division will be receiving
a new Wayne street sweeper to add to its fleet.
This new machine will
be quite an improvement over what we already have in that it will have
an automatic transmission, a quieter muffler system (we hope) and the
gutter brooms will be hydraulically operated to keep the brooms operating separately from the engines.
This will replace the old yellow
monster, which will be used only as a standby vehicle in case ·of breakdowns or emergencies.
As C.C. Whitehorse would say, "That's a big 10-4, while standing by
the side!"

***********************************************************************
NEW EMPLOYEE

...

I would like to introduce Mr. Bob Kochevar
(pronounced Ko cha'v~r),
the City's first Traffic Engineer.
Bob will be working on and implementing the traffic engineering study which the City was awarded by the
State of Colorado.
Work on the project will be done in six phases to
prepare a roadway and traffic improvement plan covering hazardous conditions, deficient traffic control devices, and major projects requiring priority assignment.
Once the project is complete (hopefully by
the end of June), he will be responsible for implementing all recommendations resulting from the study.
Illinois, where he attended
Bob was born and raised in Joliet,
Joliet Catholic High School.
He went on to the University of Illinois
where he graduated in 1971 with a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering.
He was employed as Assistant Traffic Engineer for the City of Joliet
for one year before receiving a graduate fellowship at the University
of Colorado where, in 1975, he received his Masters degree in transportation engineering.
While working on his degree, he was employed in 1973 by Adams County
as Traffic Engineer.
He worked there for three and one-half years before coming to the City of Thornton as Traffic Engineer.
Bob is a bachelor and is 28 years old. He enjoys all kinds of
sports, photography and plays the guitar.
A HEARTY WELCOME TO YOU,
BOB!

This is an indispensable item
for everyone.
For years, people
have been saying, "I' 11 do it as
soon as I get a-round tuit."
The above is a round tuit. Cut
it out, keep it handy and you will
have no more trouble getting all
those extras done.
You finally got a round tuit!

COUNCIL

***********************************************************************
EMPLOYEES' EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH FOR MARCH, 1977
The following letter was submitted to me nominating Penny Conlin for
the Employees' Employee of the Month:
I would like to nominate Penny Conlin as the Employees' Employee of the Month.
Penny spends hours and
hours working to get ready for City Council meetings
and then spends more hours transcribing the minutes.
The Council meetings
usually
take
three to five
hours,
and there have been
very few meetings that
she has missed.
Even after all the
time she puts in getting ready
for Council,
she is always
cheerful and ready to
help
anyone who needs
to look up anything in the
Council Documents, Ordinance Books or Minute Books.
I think Penny is one of the people who is constantly
overlooked when it comes to passing out praise and
pats on the back.
Cel Eggers

I heartily agree!
Linda
