City Manager Jerry Hagman welcomed approximately 300 guests to the ceremony site on the hill on 96th Avenue overlooking the city. Mayor Margaret Carpenter introduced many of those present for the event, including former Councilman Mike Schoenberg who had come from Florida for the groundbreaking ceremony. Mayor Carpenter spoke of the development of Thornton since it's beginning in 1953 and of the citizens, councilmembers, and staff who have worked long and hard to create the present city of nearly 45,000 people. Jerry Seracuse of Ser~cuse, Lawler & Partners, the project architects, presented the Mayor and the City with an artist's drawing of the new complex. (The drawing is now hanging in the front stairwell of City Hall.) After the ceremony was concluded by the traditional turning over of shovelsful of dirt by the Mayor and Councilmembers, the City hosted a reception at The Ranch. Special thanks for the success of the event should be given to the Public Works employees who made the site usable after several days of rain; the police officers who handled parking and traffic; and the City Manager's staff who planned and coordinated the ceremony and reception. Planning for the City's new municipal complex began in 1978 with the acquisition of the site. It was chosen because of it's prominence, magnificent view, and the City's belief in the development potential of the surrounding area. The complex~ designed by Seracuse, Lawler & Partners, will consist of 96,000 square feet of space. One building will contain offices for the Mayor and City Council, the Council Chamber, and offices for City Departments. Three stories will be above grade and one below grade. A second building will house the Police Department, Municipal Court, and Fire Department Administration. Access to the site from 1-25 will be provided by a recently approved interchange at 94th Avenue. Financing for the $6.5 million project will come from current revenues and from sales tax revenue bonds. I �NEWS FROM LJ[}{]~ ro~o©~ [Q)~[¥)L%~U~~~U Hello from the Police Department. Welcome mat this month goes out to LOLA EADS, our newest dispatcher and APRIL --- SANDERS; our newest Grdina-nee Officer. Hope you-all like us. Adios to DAVID GRUSSING, who got drafted. Congratulations are in order for Sgt. STEVE BARGER and his wife, Karen. On September 30, at 10:44 p.m., they became proud parents of a little boy (not so little!)--Philip Steven entered this world weighing 8 pounds 2 ounces, and measuring 19 inches long. Mother and baby are doing fine. Technician ROBERT C. MARTIN, of the Detective Division is having approximately an 80% success rate in recovering items taken in burglaries and returning them to their rightful owners. Due to his daily rounds of taking pictures of items sold at the gold and silver shops, victims are able to come in and view the photos and identify --------their property.--·Good job, R.C.-! This RW would like to thank Captain WILLARD, Sergeant HORST, and the Detective Division for their efforts in trying to track down her stolen wheelchair. Even though it wasn't found, I really appreciate what they did. Hey, George--found any lunches lately?? Marji .. ~tartin8 on Monday" Starting on Monday I'm living on carrots and boui l.lon Starting on Monday I'm bid.ding the bagel adieu. I'~ switching from Hersheys with aZmonds to gaunt and anemic, And people will ask me could that skinny person be you. I'll count every calorie from squash (half a cup, 47) To Life Saver (8), stalk of celery (5), pepper ring ( 2). - Starting on Monday Starting on Monda,y I'll jog for a mile ~n the morning (That's after the sit-ups and push-ups and touching my toes). The gratification I once used to seek in lasagna I'll find on the dau that I have to go buy emal: Le» clothes. I'll turn my attention from infantile pleasures like Clark Bars To things like the song of the bird and the scent of the rose, Starting on Monday Starting on Monday my uri LI. will be stronger than brownies, And anything more than an unsalted egg will seem crude. My inner-thigh fat and my upper-arm flab wi U diminish. -2- My cheeks will be hollowed, my ribs will begin to protrude. The bones of my pelvis will make their initial appearance-A testament to my relentless abstention from food, Starting on Monday. But on Tuesday a friend came for coffee and brought homemade muffins. And Wednesday I had to quit jogging because of my back. On Thursday I read in the paper an excess of egg yolk Would clog up my vessels and certainly cause an attack. On Frida,y we ate at the Goldfarbs', she always makes cream sauce, And always gets sulky if people don't eat what she makes. On Satu:r>da,y evening we went with the kids to the drive-in. I begged for a Fresca but all they were selling were shakes. On Sunday my stomach oozed over the top of my waistband, And filled with self-loathing I sought consolation in pie And the thought that Onassis could bribe me with yachts and with emeralds But still I'd refuse to taste even a single French fry ... Starting on Monday. JUDITH VORST �NE~Ws FROM ~[g©~[g&LJO@~ NEWS FROM· TODDY and Steve WOBBEMA have become parents--a baby girl, Sara Ruth, entered their lives on October 3, 1981.

We flushed all theTf r e hydrants in the system and now we are making repairs on the ones that aren't working properly. The only person who wasn't busy was DON DeRENZO, our Sewer Crew Leader, who just returned from a month-long vacation. He went back east, up to Canada--even visited Niagara Falls. He had a marvelous time, but we are sure glad to have him back. It seems like our Water Crew Leader (a Safety Committee member, incidentally), JEFF TerAVEST, is taking out his frustrations on one of his men, ROD JOHNSON, by hitting one of Rod's fingers with a hammer, breaking it! (It really was an accident, but we like giving Jeff a hard time about it.) Come down to the shops and see the improved Conference Roo~--Utilities painted it and cleaned 1t up a~d we go~, new chairs.
