Steve Hinman decided not to accept the position of Firefighter after the "City Chatter" had been put to the presses. We did hire Gary Wilmes for the position of Firefighter and are glad to have him aboard. He is now working out of Station No. 3 on 'A' shift. Good luck Gary! The Fire Department is now going through extensive ?hysical testing of all personnel to determine the exercise needs of all participants. The testing was administered by the Department of Physical Education and Recreation of the University of Colorado at Boulder. .Some of the testing included: blood tests (the 12 nour fast was the most difficult for some members), pulmonary f un c t i on test (where we really got a chance to see who had the biggest lungs), electrocardiograms at rest and at stress, and blood pressures taken at rest and at stress. The stress tests were taken after running, in the true sense of the word, on an electric driven treadmill. By Monday, February 26, we will have all bee~ given our "p r e sc r i p t i oris " for exercise. The results s hou Ld prove quite interesting. After three months we will have to go through the testing again to analyze our progress. The Thorr:. ton Fi re Department is the first fire department in the state ~o have this type of testing done on their firefighters. Wish us all luck! Candy Radke ***************************************************************** EDITOR NOTES On the front page of last month's iss~e, the date Goofed Again! Just checking to see if you were indicated was Dec. 29, 1978. alert! Because of a mixup, the March birthdays will not be included in this issue. SORRY! ***************************************************************** �BITS AND PIECES FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT The Police Rodeo was held last Saturday, February 17, 1979, in Longmont, and everyone fared very well. Bob Martin, Jim Martinez, and Kirn Moore's team took first place in the steer dressing. They made a new record of pantsing the steer in just a little over 14 seconds. Jim Allen, Chris McLellan and Randy Nelson's team took fourth place (out of six) in the steer dressing. The girls' team consisted of Gail Gold, Coralee Covert and Jody Andrews, who is from the Denver Police Department. They placed second out of four in the calf dressing. This was their first attempt at anything like this. From what I hear, they had a little trouble at first getting the calf to stop; but I think they did excellent for the first time. I only wish I could have been there to watch it all; but, as they say, duty calls. Joe Bowland and Larry Aulgur have left the department just recently. We wish them the best in their new endeavors. Montana sure is cold this time of year, Joe. I hear long underwear is the style right now. Glenn Miller's little girl just underwent a serious operation last week. We all wish her a speedy recovery! kidney There's been a rumor going around that a few of the wives were going to get together to print a newspaper. The titles suggested sound really interesting. I can't wait to see the first issue!

Pam has recently become a permanent employee and was working at City Hall for Devere King. She has finally graduated from the CETA Program, and it is really great to have her here at the City Shops. Welcome aboard Pam!! Our tapp call will water ng. ng on prove and sewer crews have recently started their own This will enable them to tap themselves instead of a contractor. We certainly hope that this program to be very successful. All of us would like to welcome two new CETA employees. They are Phil Henderson and John Hady. Hope you _will both be with us a long time! ! Congratulations to Dave Lindquist who is a proud papa. Dave and his wife have a new addition to the family. Erik Daniel decided to enter this world on the 14th of January, 1979, and weighed in at 7 lbs. 3 oz. Again, congratulations to Dave and Tammy!!

Dick Bitzer discovered an aggravating knocking noise under the hood. From then on, the sound grew persistently louder while the car lost power and acceleration. Within a month, the distreugh: car owner was scurrying to repair shops and expertmenting with a half-dozen brands of gasoline in a desperate attempt to make the car run properly. "But nothing seemed to do any good," recalls the 38-year-old Atlanta construction worker. "So now I'm stuck with an expensive albatross that knocks like a pin- ball machine and drives so poorly my wife is afraid to take it out on the highway." Complaints like :\1r. Bitzers are becorning increasingly common these days. That's because, to operate correctly, more and more late-model cars-by some estimates as many as half-seem to needa hifiler-qua!ity unleaded gasoline than their owners can buy at most filling stations. If the cars don't get it,-their engines may turn sluggish and give - off a distinct, high-pitched knock when the driver steps down hard on the accelerator. Also, they often sputter on for a few moments after the ignition key is turned off. Severe cases of knock can lead to engine damage. A Controversy Results This mismatch between car and gasoline is provoking a gTo\ving controversy among the nation's auto makers. oil producers and government regulators. Trapped ill the middle, hapless car owners are being forced to find their own remedies; most of these remedies are costing- the drivers extra money and run counte, to national energy-saving goals and at least one is downright illegal. Obviouslv, no one planned things this way. The interests of two of Amcricas largest industries. autos and oil. have long dictated that their products be compatible. And in strict terms ti.ey still are-today's cars do. in fact. run 0n today's gasoline.

People are becoming "d.senchanted with today's cars." agrees Arvid Anderson. . a Seattle Chrysler-Plymouth dealer.

But the de•.-ices \,ould orJy work with leadfree gasoline, ,;:hich almost na one produced at the iime. dino.ry unle8.cled gasoline.

And recently some staffers of ,hE Fec!er2l Trade Commission have started p.1slling- ~c,, an investigation of whether cons"mer-~ are being misinformed. The resul.ts of running a c2,r on iower octane gasoline than it really nf'eds ca:: va~y widely. The worst case is wheJt se, e~e are An Unwritten Compromise Oil companies cringed at tlle thought of eliminating kad from their gasoline. Lead additives·a!lowed them to produce gasoline cheaply for powerful, highly tuned amo engines that wouldn't knock, or ignite prema. turely inside the cylinders. VVlthom lead, the only way to make such high-octane gasoline (octane is a measure of antiknock characteristics) was to invest millions, if not billions, iii new refinery equipment, they complained. So an unwiitten compromise was reached. Oil producers ag1·eed to market, in time for Detroit"s 19;5 modeis, gasoline that · was iead-fr2e but of reduced octane so that big new investments wouldn't be nredect. In turn. auto makers agreed to adjust their engines to run smootr:!y on the lesser-quality fuel, even though it :-neant sacrific:.ng some pep and Iuei economy. · Everyone s2erned happy, ai,d the federal government cfficialiy sealed the deal by making ·it illegal to put anything but unleaded gasoline in catalyst-equip;ied cars. But now the ba:-ga.in seenJS to be corning apart.
