BOSTON - Federal Consumer Protection describes the Platinum Gas Saver as “an effective fuel saving device which brings about more complete combustion and better gas mileage in automobile engines by means of platinum catalysis.” Their five year study concluded that “Independent testing shows greater fuel savings with the Gas Saver than the 22% claimed by the developer, National Fuelsaver Corp. of Boston.” With a simple connection to a vacuum line, the Gas Saver adds microscopic quantities of platinum to the combustion process inside your engine. Since platinum has the unique

Local officers make arrests

An Etna Green man was arrested for possession of marijuana on March 2 by Nappanee Police. Shawn D. Smothers, 24, Etna Green, was driving a gray and silver Dodge Caravan with a headlight out. Patrolman Tony Schmucker stopped the vehicle and found during a drivers license inquiry that Smothers was driving while his license was suspended. After a citation was given to Mr. Smothers, he was allowed to walk to a phone booth nearby to call for a ride, since the vehicle would be impounded. During a standard inventory of the vehicle’s contents, three partially-burned, hand-rolled cigarettes were found which had an odor associated with burned marijuana. Mr. Smothers was still in sight when this was found, and was arrested for possession of marijuana without incident. He had a prior possession of marijuana arrest, making this a class “D” felony. PUBLIC INTOXICATION Nappanee Police arrested Leonard S. Bindel, 40, Hiawatha, Kansas, March 10, on a charge of public intoxication.

ability to make non-burning fuel bum, the Gas Saver’s platinum increases the percentage of fuel burning inside the engine from 68% of each gallon to 90% of each gallon, a 22% increase. Since unbumt fuel leaving an engine is pollution, that 22% of each gallon would normally bum when it reaches the platinum of the catalytic converter. Unfortunately, the converter’s platinum bums this fuel in the tail pipe, where the heat and energy produced from burning this fuel cannot be harnessed to drive your vehicle. But when the Gas Saver adds platinum to engine combustion, 22% more of each gallon

Patrolman Tony Schmucker was on patrol for the local department when he noticed a male subject walking southbound in the area of the 100 block of S. Main St. The subject, later identified as Bindel, was stumbling and nearly fell before Officer Schmucker could stop to speak with him. Officer Schmucker offered Mr. Bindel a ride to the house where he was staying. After Mr. Bindel gave directions to several areas around the southern part of town for approximately 10-15 minutes, Officer Schmucker stopped the vehicle and arrested Mr. Bindel for public intoxication. He was later transported to the Elkhart County Security Center, where he began to become belligerent. ARREST HUFFMAN A Nappanee man was arrested on a charge of operating while intoxicated by Nappanee Police Officer Tony Schmucker. Harold F. Huffman, 61, Nappanee, was driving a pick-up truck eastbound on Market St. when Officer Schmucker noticed the truck had a brake light out. Officer Schmucker followed the

bums inside the engine so that 22% fewer gallons are required to drive the same distance. In addition to this study, the Gas Saver has received patents for cleaning out the carbon and raising octane, making premium fuel unnecessary for most vehicles. Joel Robinson, the developer, commented: “We have sold over 400,000 Gas Savers. To our surprise, as many people buy the Gas Saver because it extends engine life (by cleaning out the abrasive carbon deposits) as buy it to increase gas mileage or to raise octane.” For further information call: 1-800-LESS-GAS 1-800-537-7427

vehicle to the 400 block of W. TJncoln, where it was stopped. During the initial interview with Mr. Huffman, it was fond that he was intoxicated. He was transported to the Nappanee Police Department when he began complaining of heart problems. An ambulance was contacted and transported Huffman to Goshen General Hospital. During his treatment, a blood test was given which showed a blood alcohol level of .23936, over twice the legal limit in Indiana. Mr. Huffman was treated and released to reserve officer Sherm Yoder, who transported him to the Elkhart County Security Center on a charge of operating while intoxicated. Mr. Huffman had a prior conviction within five years, making this charge a class “D” felony. DOMESTIC BATTERY Nappanee police arrested Steven R. Hon, 42, Lot 22 Meadows, Nappanee for domestic battery, in the early morning of March 12. Officers were dispatched to the address following reports of a domestic fight taking place. Upon
