Any and all persons working for law enforcement agencies in Colorado were invited to participate. The races were held slalom style on the Gold Peak Course . (expert's course). Each team consisted of three members and all the teams were divided into three categories: expert; intermediate, and beginners. Thornton was represented by Marilyn Hoskins, Joel Sidell, and Jay Steele, who entered in the intermediate category. Marilyn, Joel, and Jay placed 4th and were shy 1/l0Cth of a second from placing 3rd and winning a trophy. Since the times were so close, the judges were going to verify the final ti_mes and get back to everyone, so we are all keeping our fingers crossed awaiting confirmation. Marilyn had the third fastest time for women and Jay was the fifth fastest man racing. Not only that, but Thornton had the only coed team out of all the participants.Have som~ new additions to the force this month. They are: Dona Maloy, Frank Green and Thomas Manka to the ranks of Patrol and Jane Barton in dispatch. ~ Mary Blagg has turned in her resignation effective April 8th. She and Bim are moving to Huntington Beach, California to live on the shoreline and bask in the sunlight and show us all up with the fantastic tans that Mary gets. Mary and Bim are expecting their first child sometime the first part of September. We hate to see you go Mary, but good luck! Have a few changes going on in the department as far as training is concerned. Every two weeks one of the detectives works patrol { in uniform nonetheless) and a patrolman becomes a wandering detective for the same two weeks. The program was instituted to make everyone more aware of every phase of an investigation. Summer's just around the corner and we can't wait for the wet and wooly experience of shooting a rapid in a rubber life boat, camping along the river and, of course, sitting around a camp fire late at night. The first t~ip takes off the first week in May and is being put on by Rocky Mountain River Expeditions. If you would like more information, do not hesitate to get in touch with Joel Sidell. I know you would have a blast. Judi ***************************************************************** NEWS FROM UTILITY DISTRIBUTION Mike Mestas Meter Shop. luck.
