It's hard to believe we are completing our millennium year 2000. And, what a great year this has been for the citizens of Euless. We have celebrated with planting the first tree anywhere at the stroke of midnight 2000. Then we followed with the most wonderful Arbor Daze Millennium 161 Event with outstanding guests and another bronze statue for the city hall complex. So many children and adults as well stop by to enjoy the statue and we hope all of you will come and see. We finally got started with our police and courts facility on Hwy. 10 and the building is beginning to take shape now. We expect to be in the facility by next fall. The Citizen's Police Alumni is raising funds to have a bronze statue in front of the building entrance by selling bricks. Our voters approved the renewal of the Crime Control & Prevention District 1/4 cent sales tax which enables the Police Department to expand and continue crime safety programs as well as help pay for the police and courts facility. .. - We completed Hwy. 157 infrastructure and have begun the Mid -Cities Boulevard widening as well as the Harwood Road widening. Both of these major thoroughfares will be completed this year and we will immediately begin con- struction of Main Street from Harwood Road to Hwy. 10. We completed the renovation of the Himes Log Cabin and a celebration will be held on December 9. It is a look at how our citizens lived one hundred and fifty years ago. Bill Marquis did such a great job restoring the cabin and bring- ing history to life. The cabin is located in the Heritage Park. Our Texas Star Conference Centre and Golf Course and Parks at Texas Star and Softball World are all doing well. The Golf Course is ranked in the top 15 municipal courses in the U.S. Our staff is doing such a great job. We hosted the Dixie World Series for the second year and still get raves from the teams that came. Euless, Texas has a great name in so many places. We also hosted the Collegiate Golf Tournament in August — more accolades — and several tour- naments at Softball World. We had tremendous crowds for our amphitheater musical "West Side Story." The weather was good and the show the best ever. Again, terrific staff and vol- unteers. Our library continues to do such innovative programs. From poetry night for teenagers to sleepovers for teenagers to special story times, Texas literary night, special musical events, even a birthday party. There are so many educa- tional programs as well. And, the Library Foundation continues to volunteer and add to the collection of art work. Just last month the Foundation gave another bronze statue to the library. Do come and enjoy. The Friends continue to have great book sales and use their monies for more special additions for the library. Again, terrific volunteers for our city. We have completed selections for our new and continuing Board and Commission members. We appreciate all those citizens who strive to make our city better and volunteer their time and talent. They will begin their term of office in January. Police Captain Joey Ziemian will be retiring after 30 years with the city of Euless in January. Do read about his many accomplishments and wish him well in his new adventure. It is with sadness that we bid farewell to another long tenured police officer who passed away in October. Officer Gary Kopecky served his city and citizens well and will be remembered for his special talent with our youth. We are looking forward to an exciting year 2001 with the development of the new Target Superstore, the Krispy Kreme distribution center, the new residen- tial subdivisions in north, east and south Euless and the developments along Hwy. 121. Enjoy all the holiday festivities and we wish you a healthy, happy holiday season. Your city council and city staff spend many working hours making this city the best there is, but we could not do as much as we do without the many work- ing hours our volunteers give to the city. Each of you is a shining star and I know together we are Building a Better Tomorrow for our Future.

Town Hall Meetings scheduled for 2001 uless Town Hall Meetings were started in 1984 by Deputy City Manager Gary McKamie, when he was the Chief of Police, for the purpose of introducing Community Based Policing to the citizens and receiving feedback from them about their concerns. The program started with eight different meeting sites around town and a panel of police personnel from different divisions of the department to answer questions. It became evident very early on that the citizens had concerns that went beyond the scope of the Police Department. Since its inception, the Town Hall Meeting has evolved into four meetings a year and a panel with members from all city departments. The focus of the meetings is to bring the citizens up to date about ongoing projects, city development, special issues and to provide citizens with an informal opportunity to address city officials face to face with their questions and concerns. The Town Hall Meetings for 2001 are at 7 p.m. on the following dates: Thursday, January 11– Lakewood Elementary School, 1600 Donley Dr. Thursday, January 25 – Central Junior High School, 3191 W. Pipeline Rd. Thursday, February 15 – South Euless Elementary School, 605 S. Main St. Thursday, March 1 – Wilshire Elementary School, 420 Wilshire Dr. Prior to the meetings, a questionnaire will be sent out at random to citizens, allowing them the opportunity to rate every city department and make written comments. The comments from these surveys help the meetings' panel partic- ipants address those issues important to the citizens. Make plans to attend the Town Hall Meeting nearest you. Police Captain retiring after 30 years of service he beginning of a New Year will also be the begin- ning of a whole new life for Captain Joseph John Ziemian, Jr. Along with his wife, Cynthia, and three Chinese Pugs (Bandit, Samantha and baby Bartholomew), Captain Ziemian will be retiring to Central Florida to start a "new adventure." Captain Ziemian, better known as Joey, will be retir- ing from the Euless Police Department on January 31, 2001, after 30 1/2 years of service. Motivated by a never- ending desire to serve, Joey's career began on August 17, 1970. During his tenure with the Euless Police Department, he has performed a variety of duties including: Patrol Officer, Criminal Investigator, Patrol Sergeant, CID Sergeant, Patrol Lieutenant and will be ending his career as Captain. He has also spent several years involved with different task forces, including serving as Commander of a multi -agency countywide narcotics unit. Along with his many promotions, Captain Ziemian has received several awards and recognitions throughout his career including Officer of the Year, Supervisor of the Year (for two years) and Employee of the Month. Looking back over the years, he believes the most rewarding part of his job has been working with the young people. He finds it uplifting to see the youth he has worked with being involved in the community. He also enjoys it when they recognize him on the street and say hello. He also credits the advancement in technology as the most useful improvement to law enforcement since he started in 1970. When it comes to a career, Captain Ziemian believes that the first stage of any career is to "take" until you learn enough. Then, in the second stage, you begin to 2001 Town Hall Meetings Thursday, January 11 at 7 p.m. Lakewood Elementary School 1600 Donley Dr. Thursday, January 25 at 7 p.m Central Junior High School 3191 W.

He advises today's young recruits of law enforcement to remember a few objectives: "Citizens are the most important item you deal with," "YOU can make a difference," and "Remember why you're here — to help others." Although he is looking forward to his retirement in Police Captain Joey Ziemian Florida, it was with much soul-searching that he and his wife chose Florida. Their first choice was Costa Rica, then Mexico. But after finally deciding on Florida, the couple began making plans to build their dream home in Leesburg. The house is located on a golf course and his plans for the first several months of his retirement include becoming club champion at Pennbrooke Fairways. He also plans to explore the unseen areas of Florida with his wife. After settling into the "retirement life," Captain Ziemian plans on using his love of teaching and police work to help the local police department with writing grants and teaching Law Enforcement courses at the local community college. Joey and Cynthia will miss their friends and co-work- ers they are leaving behind, but they are excited about the new adventure they will embark on during his retire- ment. We at the City of Euless wish them both lots of luck and lots of fun. by Penny Carrillo The City of Euless Parks and Community Services proudly presents the Star -Telegram 40b'1 RT December 31 New Year's Eve Bash Pop/folk/rock duo Trout Fishing in America and offbeat band the Austin Lounge Lizards Texas Star Conference Centre 8 p.m. Tickets are $60.

After a brief stint in the Public Works Department, Gary followed a family tradition by com- mitting to a career in law enforcement. His tenure with the Euless Police Department was marked by a sincere heart for com- munity service, particularly service to the children of our community. Gary served our children through his many years as the school resource officer of Trinity High School and as a D.A.R.E. officer in our elementary schools. Gary touched the lives of many children. While Gary's career as a police officer was outstanding, his most important role was service to the people who meant the most to him — his family. Gary was a totally com- mitted husband to Diane and father to Amy, Casey and Justin. It was this role he would want to be remembered for. Gary Kopecky passed away October 14, 2000.

The 27.5 acre site is located at the southwest corner of State Highway 121 and Glade Road. The SuperTarget, which includes Archer Farms Market, will be 180,000 square feet of retail space. The retail site also includes subsidiary retail spaces located to the east of the SuperTarget nearer Hwy. 121. This additional retail area is proposed to be structures of 25,670 square feet and 47,446 square feet as well as space for additional development in the future. The possible tenants of these spaces have not been presented to the City of Euless Planning and Development Department at City Council Profiles Police Cpl. Gary Kopecky this time. A new spine road coming off of Glade Road approximately half way between Hwy. 121 and Heritage Avenue will separate these two retail areas. The site plan meets all of the City of Euless codes for parking, landscaping and site conditions. The architec- ture of the structures will be constructed of 100 percent masonry with an upscale appearance. The primary drive entries to the retail areas will include enhanced paving with brick pavers as well as median plantings adding to the aesthetic quality of the project. After breaking ground this past October, the opening of the SuperTarget is scheduled for October 2001. n the next few issues of Euless Today, we will be profiling the members of our City Council.
