Upaate The weekend of Sept. 9-10 was a busy one for the firefighters with an automobile accident resulting in the death of a 20 year old woman and then a fire in a mobile home park. When the call for the mobile home fire was received, the firefighters were awa r e that there was the possibility of persons being trapped inside the home. Upon arrival, the lifeless body of a man was found. After searching with the other firefighters, Fir·ef ighter Specialist Paramedic Jack Patton found the body of an unconscious 4 year old girl. He then took the child out of the home and proceeded to apply mouth to mouth resucitation for approximately 4 minutes until the child began breathing again. The child and her mother were both transported by the Flight for Life Helicopter to St. Anthony's Central in Denver. Congratulations to all of the men on 'C' shift who were on the call and did such a fine job, and of course, to Lynn Rotz and Karol (Buth) Schmidt who have the job of the follow-up investigation. �Page 3 From the desk of.. EDITORIAL e The Building and Maintance Division was hard at work on the second floor of City Hall the past few weeks, tearing out and replacing piping, w±ring, and whatever else that has been hidden in the walls and ceilings. The dynamic duo of Ken and Del proceeded to pound away adjacent to the new Word Processor's office (welcome to the City Sharon). Sharon and Pam weathered the pounding storm quite well. Then both the word processing machine and the saxon copy machine went on the blink. They were exiled to standard typewriters wherever one was available. Penny Conlin and Nancy Vincent have been busy with people registering to vote for the November election. Penny now has a big bright pink and purple map to help people identify what ward they live in. Unfortunately, however, none of Penny's clothes match the new map, so she's got to go out and buy a new wardrobe. . Most of us on the second floor at City Hall have been buying Marcia's lunches since we are too lazy to brown bag. Sandra has the lettuce dieter's special each day, and we are beginning to fear she may turn into a rabbit. I asked her if there was any truth to an impending metamorphosis, but she would only twitch her nose at me. Yours truly is planning a long three week auto trip to the East coast. I will reveal all next month. TOM CLOUSER by T. Wobbema In a concerted effort to have the "Chatter" appeal to all employees, this reporter plans to amend the format.
