Every page has something to offer. We say goodbye to Councilperson Bob Edwards and thank him for his three years of service on our council. We welcome Linda Martin and look forward to serving with her in an exciting new year. �I Wealso send best wishes to our retiring staff members. Captain Ronnie McClendon of the Fire Department and Captain Roger Mangum of the Police Department are retiring after more than 25 years with the city. Our warrant officer, Forrest Babb has retired after many years with Euless. We will miss these very special members of our staff community. Our Main Street was completed ahead of time and now we look forward to the landscaping in the fall. We give special thanks to all the businesses that participated with the new monument signs. They look wonderful! Euless has received two awards recently. The Tree City award has been given for eighteen years. We are the second longest Tree City in Texas. The North Central Texas Council of Governments honored Euless and seven sister cities with the Regional Cooperation Award. All the cities worked together to get the Northeast Transportation Services on track again. This is a tremendous advantage for those that need rides for various activities. We are the only city to receive the Regional Cooperation award three times. The Euless Library Foundation is working diligently to raise the monies necessary for the future art piece for the library. "The Blooms of Enlightenment" will be the first of its kind in any public facility and will be a show piece for our city. The Foundation welcomes new members and also welcomes donations for the art work. There is a mock-up of the piece in the library. Do take a look and participate in the purchase of this magnificent piece of art. Our future cityark called The Preserve at McCormick Park will begin construction in the fall. We had 98 young people participate in thepark's design and we thank them for such vision. It was a great group and a fun group of students working together on such an interesting project. All of our city services and personnel are so special and we hope you read about the fairly new service provided b our Emergency Medical Service in our city ambulances. Our EMS personnel work diligently to provide the best and most efficient medical response possible. The Games of Texas will be here soon and that means over 10,000 students will be in our area going for the gold. Many adults will be accompanying them and we need lots of volunteers. It really is fun to meet and greet Texans from everywhere and to display the spirit we have in our area. Do sign up now and volunteer and make this the best Games of Texas ever. There are so many activities listed in the edition for every age and interest. The new Outdoor Adventure packages sound terrific and such a learning experience for our oung people.

Many of you have walked by him and not even realized it. You may have even sat next to him and enjoyed his comforting silence. Lloyd passed away at the age of 88 on April 13, 2004 from a stroke, but he will always be remembered fondly by Euless residents for his contributions to the city, especially at the library. In 1999, in an unprecedented honor, the Euless Library Foundation acknowledged his dedicated service by erecting a statue in his likeness and placing it in front of the library. "It was such an honor when the Library Foundation called and told us that they were going to create a statue that looked like him," said Lloyd's wife Sybil Baldwin. "He loved to go to the library and spend time reading." Sybil and Lloyd met through a singles church group called Single Adult Club (SAC). Lloyd later created a new club titled Mr. & Mrs. Adult Club (MAC). There was a rigorous initiation process to become a member of this club. He would require new members to walk across obstacles blindfolded or go into grocery stores wearing a monkey costume and purchase bananas. They were married on July 20, 1962 at her mother's home. The couple moved to the Morrisdale neighborhood in Euless in 1965. Sybil recalled the days when Lloyd Baldwin drove a Renault Caravel with a removable top. Their church congregation used to line up in the parking lot just to see the couple along with their six children emerge from this tiny car. Lloyd worked as a radio announcer and band vocalist early in his career. He sang tenor with the Baron Dakin Band in the Corpus Christi area and then worked for A.C. Neilson Marketing Research for 41 years. He retired from Neilson in 1983. An active member of the COP (Citizens on Patrol) for the Morrisdale Neighborhood Association, he also graduated from the Euless Citizens Police Academy and was the oldest member of the alumni association. He then became involved in the Euless Library Foundation. Lloyd truly enjoyed meeting the Euless citizens and talking about opportunities to help the library. "He was an absolute gentleman and a joy to be around," remarked Library Administrator JoAnn Rogers. "He loved it when kids made the connection that he was the statue and came up to talk to him. He did so much for the library. He laid a lot of groundwork for the Foundation when it began." * The Euless Animal Shelter recently underwent renovations to improve its facility. The shelter was originally built in 1977 and this winter the animal shelter received a well deserved face lift. Alt -new tile, carpet and paint were installed, as well as a new office area with desks and counter tops. A completely new kitchen was set up and the entire kennel area is epoxy coated which assists with sanitary issues. The shelter's new appearance is phenomenal, if we don't say so ourselves. Please stop by to see the nice new look of the shelter. While you're there, go ahead and adopt a dog or cat for your family. While our shelters are nice to visit, they'd much rather come live with you. Euless residents Kennia and Lilibeth Sepulveda sit with the Lloyd Baldwin statue in front of the library. Lloyd was always looking for new volunteers to join the Euless Library Foundation. He managed to talk Curtis Brown into simply attending some meetings of the ELF to see if he liked it. During his third meeting, unbeknownst to Curtis, Lloyd stood up to welcome their new guests and announce that Curtis would be the new Christmas Parade Float Chair. "I'd been had. I will probably always be traumatized by that moment," Curtis joked. "However, I am proud to say that our float won 2nd place last year." Boyce Byers, a founding member of the Euless Library Foundation said, "Whenever he said he was going to do something, you might as well forget fighting him on it and help him out because it was going to get done. We all have lost a wonderful person who did lots of work in our community that no one ever knew anything about. He was the backbone of the Foundation and still is." "He's still sitting in front of the library and we don't dare do anything wrong because his eyes are on us." In September 2003, Lloyd was named Director Emeritus of the Euless Library Foundation and a lifetime member for his dedication and service. Lloyd Robert Baldwin was a Euless treasure who will always be remembered for his caring for Euless and everything about it. The legacy he leaves with the Library is with people who care as much as he did.

Ron recently experienced first hand the quality of work that the Euless Fire Department performs. One Saturday, Ron was doing some yard work in the front yard and started seeing spots. He decided to sit down and take a break and the next thing he knew his neighbors were waking him up to see if he was okay. After a brief conversation, they called 911 and the Euless Fire Department was on the scene in three minutes. The Fire Department hooked him up to a defibrillator. His blood pressure was 50/30 and the paramedics started IV's in both his arms. He was up to 136/70 when he arrived at the hospital, but it started to fall again and due to the severe muscle damage to his heart the drug agents were not working. The type of heart attack Ron suffered is known as a Posterior Myocardial Effusion, which basically means a severe heart attack in the backside of his heart. The Fire Department recently activated a new protocol called Rapid Cardiac Intervention Protocol, which allows the paramedics to transmit the vital signs of a patient directly to the hospital and into the hands of a cardiac surgeon. While the patient is en route, the physician is able to review the statistics and determine whether or not they will require surgery. If surgery is deemed necessary, the cath team is able to scrub up and prepare during the hospital transport. Within 30 minutes of arriving in the ER, they can be sent directly to surgery, whereas before it would have taken anywhere from 90 minutes to two hours. Once taken to Baylor Medical Center of Irving, Ron was immediately admitted to the ICU wing and went into surgery within 30 minutes to repair damage to his heart. Euless is one of only a handful of EMS medical control systems that is currently administering the Rapid Cardiac Intervention Protocol. "The care that was started in the field made all the difference, all the way to the rapid cardiac intervention protocol. To go from doing yard work to being in front of the surgeon for open heart surgery in two hours is phenomenal," said Jeff Morris EMS Division Chief. "He was in extremely critical condition and from an EMS chiefs perspective, I can't say enough about how well the response team worked together on him! The difference they made in this guy's life is unbelievable. It just gives you goose bumps." "The fire department has a great group of people there," said Ron. "I know they would say they were just doing their job, but their job is saving lives and they do make a difference. I'm glad that we have the latest technology in place and I hope it helps to save someone else's life too." www.euless.org It is both a happy and sad day with the announcement that after nearly 29 years with the Euless Fire Department longtime employee Captain Ronnie McClendon has decided to retire. Ronnie began his career with the Euless Fire Department in 1975. Working his way up through the ranks to Captain, his official retirement date was April 10, 2004. His contributions to this organization have been invaluable and he will be missed by all. You will never replace the experience and knowledge Ronnie brought to our organization and we are all indebted to him for all that he has done for this City and the Euless Fire Department. Good luck, Ronnie Mac! -by Lee Koontz Police Captain Roger Mangum retired in June after 27 —! years of service to the City of Euless. He joined the Euless Police Department in 1977 and was promoted to Sergeant within 4 years. He then moved up to Lieutenant in 1985 and Police Captain in 2000. put it, During Roger's tenure with Euless he received the 1993 Blackie Sustaire Memorial Award and Supervisor of the Year in 1998. His goal is to spend as much time with his family as possible and enjoy o spend with them. As Roger "When you're retired, everyday is like a Saturday." •--------------------------------------------------- The annual City of Euless Water Quality Report has been completed and is available for viewing on the Euless web site www.euless.org.

The day you've been waiting for is finally here. The construction on Main Street has been completed, ahead of schedule, and looks great! Main Street was widened to include medians for left -turn lanes and masonry walls were added on both sides. Walking trails were installed and utilities were relocated so that the road between Highway 10 and Midway Road could be widened to accommodate a continuous left -turn lane. We are now ready for the last phase of the Main Street project. Decorative trail lighting will be installed and landscaping will begin in September for optimal planting conditions. The streetscape design and engineering were completed entirely by City staff. The design along the pedestrian path will be plant masses incorporating shrubs, canopy trees, small trees, ornamental grasses, site furnishings and smaller decorative pedestrian lighting. The medians will also have plant massing and ornamental tree plantings. The plant material being selected is native and will help reduce maintenance requirements. The City of Euless thanks you for your patience during this project and devotion to our Main Street Merchants. We would like to extend a special thank you to those merchants that participated in our sign program.

A neighbor saw this and came over to check on him. After a brief conversation between the two, the Euless Fire Department was summoned to help and within 3 to 4 minutes, Euless Firefighter/Paramedics were at the man's side. He was quickly connected to state-of-the-art electro- cardiogram equipment and the data gathered was instantly transmitted to a cardiac team at a nearby hospital. An intravenous line was placed in the man's arm and life-saving drugs were administered at the direction of physicians 10 miles away. All of this drama occurred in the man's yard. The man had suffered a serious heart attack, causing a tear in the wall of his heart. He was in critical need of emergency cardiac care, which resulted in immediate surgery at the hospital. The men who were providing the care were not medical doctors, but rather extremely well-trained City of Euless Fire Department Firefighter/Paramedics working as members of a team providing real-time care. The Euless Fire Department had its start many years ago simply as a group of volunteers equipped with only buckets and burlap bags. They often fought grass fires, but had no equipment to fight a structure fire. Their first vehicle was a donated truck chassis on which the volunteers built a pump and tank. The tank was filled from local stock ponds, as there was no water system in place. As the area began to grow and Euless became a city in 1953, the need for additional fire service became more demanding and a more organized volunteer fire department evolved. The fledgling city acquired some very basic fire equipment through local bank loans and donations. The fire department became a paid, professional department in the late 1960's. Their main purpose was to fight fires as ambulance service was provided by private companies within the region. For many years, an Arlington funeral home sent ambulances to Euless as needed. These were primarily station wagons with a driver and a person trained in first aid. The response time was about 15-20 minutes at best. A private ambulance provider later provided service from Richland Hills with similar equipment and response times. A critically injured or ill person stood little chance of survival with such response times and minimally trained attendants. In 1983 HEB Hospital began providing professionally trained and equipped paramedic ambulance service to Euless, which significantly reduced response times and lives were saved. In 1988 the Euless City Council authorized the Euless Fire Department to begin providing paramedic level ambulance service. Today, highly skilled, trained, and dedicated Firefighter/Paramedics staff 2 Mobile Intensive Care Unit ambulances around the clock. They work under the direction of a medical doctor and have the capability to perform a wide range of technical procedures normally associated with an emergency room. Their equipment allows a physician in the emergency room to see the patient's vital signs and heart rhythm before the patient is even loaded into the ambulance. Their intervention within minutes provides a critical patient, particularly cardiac patients, the best chance to make it to the hospital alive and stable. The paramedic's contact with the emergency room physicians allows the cardiac team to be assembled and prepared to take action as soon as the patient is rolled into the hospital. This teamwork and technology saves lives that 10 years ago would have been lost. The man in the yard is a friend to many in Euless. His survival is a story of miracles, a story of skilled surgeons and hospital personnel, and last but certainly not least, a story of what those dedicated people who are called to the fire service do for the people of our community each and every day. Local government provides many different services to citizens, however, there is none more important than to play a part in saving a life. ----------------------------------------------------------- Ciof Euless --------� 1 ty T H EMC I T Y O F T H EMC I T Y O F � I 1 EIW SS 2004 Volunteer of the Year SS Nomination Form 1 1 1 Help us honor a resident/business of our city for outstanding volunteer service.

The project will be made up of glass art created by art professor David Keens. Professor Keens studied in Italy and is an instructor at the University of Texas at Arlington. The multi -colored glass blooms, leaves and vines will weigh around 2 tons and will be designed to evoke images of growing, blooming and floral elements. The project will be installed in the south window of the Library which is ideally suited for a sculpture of this design and magnitude. Professor Keens has studied how the sunlight hits the glass throughout the day so that the colored blooms will be placed in just the right spot.

The City of Euless Parks and Community Services Department encourages families, neighborhoods, civic groups, businesses and even individuals to get involved in the preservation and enhancement of the City of Euless parks system. The parks system and its facilities are enjoyed by many residents and appreciated by all. It contributes to the quality of life enjoyed by residents and provides a foundation to foster ongoing economic and commercial development of the community. Continued vigilance is needed to maintain a high quality of Parks and Community Services facilities and programming that our residents have come to expect. By participating in the "Adopt-A-Park/Trail Program," volunteers can donate time and resources to give special care to a City park by helping maintain, beautify, enhance and keep our parks safe for all to enjoy. Eligible Sites The City of Euless parks system includes over 600 acres and nearly 8 miles of trails throughout its 17 parks. Any park or trail recognized as a City of Euless park and/or recreational facility as detailed in the City of Euless parks master plan is eligible and worthy of an "Adopt-A-Park/Trail" partner. If you need assistance in selecting a site, please contact the City of Euless Parks & Community Services Department and we'll be happy to work with you to identify the perfect match! How it Works Once a park/trail has been selected, the group will commit through the Parks & Leisure Services Board to help maintain the adopted area for a minimum of two years. Within those two years, the group will perform maintenance a minimum of six times per adopted year, scheduled through the Parks & Community Services Department. Maintenance will include, but is not limited to such things as litter pick-up, debris removal, minor park/trail maintenance, etc. The Euless Parks & Community Services Department will provide support for each group during the adopted period and coordinate "on-site" staff support when needed. We will continue to provide regular maintenance to each group's adopted area but, with your help we can accomplish more. 14 Community Pride Your commitment to the community is crucial in keeping our park system clean, safe and beautiful. As a special "Thank You", the Euless Parks & Community Services Department will acknowledge your commitment and dedication with a sign in your adopted park or along your adopted trail and a certificate of appreciation upon fulfillment and completion of the adopted period. By becoming a Euless Parks & Community Services "Adopt -A Park/Trail" Partner you can: • Help beautify our parks and community. • Gain a sense of community and park pride. • Help preserve our natural resources. • Enjoy the benefits of outdoor activity. • Help reduce crime and vandalism. • Lead by example. • Meet new people. • Help in recruiting more groups to participate. • Contribute to the "Quality of Life" in Euless. • Help us build a better tomorrow.

Heritage Park features two homes that provide a glimpse of life as it once was in north central Texas. These homes are two of Euless' most cherished landmarks. Fuller House The Fuller House provides an unusual glimpse of a Euless residence at its prime as the Mid -Cities area evolved from a rural environment to a bustling business economy. At a time when most Euless residents lived in wooden farmhouses, the Fuller House was unique because it was the community's first brick house. The graceful structdre is typical of fine homes of the 1920s and 1930s. The house is named for the family of Homer and Edith Fuller, who built the home in 1932. After the family sold the house, it fell into disrepair and was scheduled for demolition. Fortunately, in 1995, the City of Euless and the Historical Preservation Committee launched a campaign to save this symbol of Euless' history. As a result of the united efforts of Taco Bell, Saebit Baptist Church, the Fuller family, Euless city officials and concerned residents, the house was relocated to Heritage Park. Himes Log House The Himes Log House, the oldest structure in Euless, stands as a rustic testimony to the pioneers who settled North Texas. Among the finest examples of mid -19th century residences in North Texas, the one -room house with loft was built in the 1850's by early landowners. Elisha Adam Euless, who gave his name to a growing local village, purchased the land in 1879 and probably lived in the house. In 1888, Euless sold the house and 100 surrounding acres to Andrew "Andy" Jackson Himes, a farmer. Needing to accommodate his growing family, Himes enclosed the log house in milled lumber and added several rooms, thus assuring its preservation throughout the next century. The house remained in the Himes family for 112 years. Shirley Himes Melson, great-granddaughter of Andy Himes, donated the log house in 2000 to the citizens of Euless to preserve the community's rich history of early settlers. The house was moved from its original location on Himes Drive near the present Euless Municipal Complex. Bill Marquis, log house restoration expert, supervised the relocation and authentic restoration.
