CapeCodToday Blog Chowder

There is always one who asks dumb questions!

Can you not read or comprehend bvista? The cruiser was RAMMED by these scumbags!
"The other two men drove off at a high rate of speed in a 2001 Chrysler Town and Country van through the crowded parking lot smashing through a Yarmouth Police cruiser and traveling out on to Station Avenue northbound towards the Mid-Cape Highway."

The other incident earlier this Summer was caused another idiot driving under the influence of drugs and failed to stop at a stop sign hitting the cruiser! Get your facts straight before you start bashing the Police!

Are you the same person that's posting this over at craigslist? I worked the scene wishinguwell. Local company, name not worth mentioning, if you were there then you know the name as the truck and trailer were the last towed. There were no fatalities, we use blankets and sheets to protect people when using extrication equipment.

First does it matter what landscaping it was? They were NOT at fault. Second the only sheet people saw was the blankets the firefighters were using to protect the injured people in the car while they were using the jaws, capice ?

ted, looking through your past comments, you seem to always have a biased negative opinion about public safety personnel. To me sir you are the one who lacks common sense.

And you know that was the cause of the crash how, capecodted50?

SCUMBAGS at best! Hopefully while they are spending some time in jail,"they will be taken care of"!

Good morning capecodchica, I take it you are a Yarmouth resident. I am not sure if have been following the news recently since Sept. of '08. YPD is down 6 Officers since the override lost last Summer and faces to layoff 2 Officers, for a total of 8, if the override that passed Monday night at the annual Town Meeting, doesn't pass next Tuesday the 12th at the polls.

Your comment about checking pawn shops in wrong, I personally know for a fact they do, as I had jewerly stolen as was found a pawn shop thanks to YPD and Barnstable PD. If you do not think they are working hard, then you contradicted yourself posting here as the previous blog showed their weekly Activity the previous week with callls and arrests.

usps02651 [Member]= MORON!

Anybody think it could have been a medical condition that caused it or are you 2 just inclined to think bald tires, cell phone, texting, caused it?

The injuries WERE life threatening by the way!

Wishingwell, I read your posts over at the Times and today I noticed that you spoke well of the FF in Harwich who has cancer. Then you come here and complain about Ladder trucks on why and heights of buildings not having a clue why they have them. Then you spout off on salaries, what gives?

Well Al, it's good to know you got your facts straight, because obviously YOU know more than the UNION and Mr. Lawton. Great idea to leave the stations unmanned while calls are going on! I blame Carol Woodb ury for the the current mess as well!

So Alby, YOU are saying the greedy UNION is responsible for the town's fiscal crisis?

anluke, I am not quite sure were you are going "call backs at the Fire Dept."
After the 3rd Override attempt, Schools got $1.5 Million, that caused the town to CLOSE the brand new fire station in West Yarmouth. There are NOT call backs everytime the Ambulance goes out despite what the Madam Chairwoman and Dr. Marasco say. This depends on their shift manning. Also the VOTERS passed that the 3 stations be covered ALL the time. The FIRE UNION presented to the board a concession to NOT cover Sta.3 when the AMBULANCE went out.

Headline is wrong, The COMM FD responded to this fire. Cotuit FD assisted at the scene then covered COMM's Sta. 3

Tom & Albert, New Chief starts 1st week of Feb. I expect you will fill him!

Well, Dr. Marasco just made a complete fool of himself at the Selectmen's meeting in regards to the Ambulance service! He baffles the other selectmen with absolute BS on EMS topics that he does NOT have a clue about of how it works. They buy it because is a "Doctor"

Gee, pretty quiet here from RV, I mean YTP!

From 4am this morning on it was slippery. Haven't seen like it was this morning in a very long time, rain freezing on contact!

As Chairman of the Board, Suzanne McAuliffe says, "Sometimes we don't deal with logic, we get involved with the emotions and the politics of a situation."

Looking at this site, though it is 2006, Yarmouth is pretty cheap to live in!

Good work.

Wait until the Spring when D-Y Schools ask for more $$ and the Selectmen find "other" priorities other than Public Safety.

Hey Taxpayer, you forgot to print the part. The town agrees to pay the cost of the option change!

Albert, again talking out of your....!
Let's see where to start - You say;"WE keep the ambulance $.IF you attended the Spring town meeting Randy EXPLAINED the Ambulance receipts. The FD has NOT been in captial budget for over 10years thanks the Ambulance. It does help pay some salaries, building maint. for the 3 stations, and yes the ladder truck. Let me educate you on the ladder. The prior Chief Dennis Brown was a big proponant for a new aerial truck for the FD. He wanted to purchase a truck with a bucket called a tower. He stated the reasons behind the purchase, such as the FD traded in the old ladder truck and a fire engine to offset the price. The Tower Truck is actually 2 trucks in 1. They call it a quint. IT is a fire engine, carries water, hose, has a pump, aerial device, etc.
This apparatus also helps the toen's ISO rating which in turns bedefits you the homweowner in your homeowners inurance rate.
You seem like a very angry man and for that I am sorry. Maybe IF you went and talked with the guys and Paul ( still don't believe you have) then maybe you would change.

Why is that people feel to write erroneous posts? Barnstable PD has NOT closed ALL businesses after midnight. The town has ordered Christy's and any other business such as 24hr gas stations, convience stores to close from 0100-0300.

YADA, YADA, GuardianAngel8! You are a broken record and are in a very sad state of affairs girl! Stick to your Somerville business not the business of what happens here on the Cape.

You are right lookbeforeuleap! I believe they have been working the first schedule taxayer referred to since January of this year.

Again I say how does the FINCOM feel about this hummm.......??

So RFP? Who is WE? Go for it, I'll bring the popcorn! If you ran a business, would want to give up close to 2 million in revenue?

Man albert, you are a piece of work! POST FACTS NOT ASSUMPTIONS!

Princealbert is right, Randy is still there, he has given NUMEROUS dates on his pending retirement, but is still on the job. Why is the town paying for 2 Fire Chiefs? I agree Kelleher may have had a better shot at becoming the Chief, if Randy retired when he said he was going to!

Bosnia not Russia, Barnstable Village not Hyannis.

crusader(GuardianAngel8), The incident in Barnstable Village you are referring to happened in 2003, NOT LAST YEAR!

http://www.capecodtoday.com/blogs/index.php/2008/12/17/burned-body-removed-from-scene-in-hyanni?blog=80

Word has is the FINCOM is not to happy about the proposes money to be spent. Seems that they may have been mislead by the board that the schedule NEEDS to change.
The talks of Private Ambulance has been going on for decades and it is proven that Fire Based EMS provides the most reliable and effficient serivice, so good luck with your venture.

So let me get this right, JUST because it is in the contract in regards to the schedule, makes it right to do in these tough fiscal times? I mean Lawton has been quoted saying there is only $10,00 free cash. The Selectmen voted to keep the 3 libraries open by re-adjusting money, WHAT MONEY? It is not so much the change of the schedule Tom, where does the $17,000-$20,000 come from? I tell why they are doing it, SPITE, nothing else period! They have no reason outside of they can, find, but in these times of fiscal crisis? I can cal say there have other possible solutions to Sta.3 that falls on deaf ears.

Find a Private Ambulance Co. that is willing ot set up shop and get back to me.

It's AXE not AX. I can not answer for him, HOWEVER he was NOT preventing people attending attending. FF promotions?

So, you are a friend of Randy and that's find, I do NOT believe you have spoken with Mr. Holmquist and if you did you are narrow minded. You basing your comments on your opinion and not fact.

Albert writes:"RFP for ambulance service save the town some $$ and lay off most of these greedy union members! "

Here's a job for you Albert, try finding a PRIVATE Ambulance Co. to set up shoop for single town based EMS! Those companies are in for making a profit ONLY, and go see how much they will CHARGE Yarmouth to set up here and the town will lose that $$ they currently make now. Again, I ask Albert have YOU spoken to the Mr.Holmquist or any other Union Officer wiht your concerns?

If the town wishes the chiefs to sit in on negotiations they can, BUT they do NOT have to. The Unions bargain with the TOWN NOT the Chiefs.

To clarify something here, the POLICE or FIRE CHIEF does NOT have to negotiate

You know RetiredVeteran(Blog name at Cape Cod Times)and Albert, you folks should really get some of your facts straight before running off here with your banter. In fact have either one of you attempted to speak to the Mr.Homquist personally or do you two just take what this one says or that one says? Do you take what's printed in news stories as gospel? I don't se you two poating anything about how the SELECTMEN want to psend your dollars to change the schedule, because they can.

It's called having PIO (Public Information Officer)

Also you clueless fools, we also are your EMS as well.

You must feel proud and tough behind a keyboard teaticket and smahkcep, huh? I'll challenge you anytime to what we do for a living, name the place and time.

Care to enlighten us where you see someone with their hands in their pockets? I see what appears to be a firefighter with purple gloves on and if for your information, Med-Flight assigns personnel on the litter with the patient that is being carried to the helicopter.

Where on 28 is this such Police Station? The last I knew I saw and visited a new Station being built on Sisson Rd. You say waste? Well that bond was passed ahile ago, old news. Also as a point of information, the PD and FD are combining dispatch essentially connecting the old PD to the esxisting PD to better serve Harwich.

busebabe312,"think clearly enough to incapacitate the suspect instead of killing him."

Do you have a point you are trying to make here?

teacher x, If in fact your a teacher, you are a blatent liar and should be held accountable for your actions. Why would the fire dept. lie about the response times? The Lt.'s statement can be backed up by the recorded tranmissions and the intial receipt of the alarm. I also have a concern aobut the inappropiate actions of one the teachers who on their decision against policy to NOT have his/her students evacuate. Also why didn't school notify the Fire Dept. about what was going on after the fire alarm was sounded? Don't try to say they did either.

How many should there be cckel?

Congrats Dave!

Hey possee, I feel there is a time for "humor" absolutely! However, given the events that has happened in Yarmouth regarding the PD, emotions are still up and maybe, just maybe acting like an adult for awhile will stop the negative and in my opinion immature posts.

karent, Was your post some sort of sick joke or comment?

Or maybe you have this,

"ICD-10 Criteria for Dissocial Personality Disorder
Specifically, the dissocial personality disorder is described by the World Health Organization by the following criteria:

Callous unconcern for the feelings of others and lack of the capacity for empathy.
Gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules, and obligations.
Incapacity to maintain enduring relationships.
Very low tolerance to frustration and a low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence.
Incapacity to experience guilt and to profit from experience, particularly punishment.
Marked proneness to blame others or to offer plausible rationalizations for the behavior bringing the subject into conflict.
Persistent irritability"

Crusader, Guardianangel8, Angelguardian8, Iceberg, Bittersweet, Stickybuns, Muliple Indenities is a serious medical concern.

"Dissociative Identity Disorder, as defined by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a condition in which a single person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment.[1] The diagnosis requires that at least two personalities routinely take control of the individual's behavior with an associated memory loss that goes beyond normal forgetfulness; in addition, symptoms cannot be due to substance abuse or medical condition."

Crusader, GA8, Same people!

Gee, I wonder what her statements to the police were after she was detained and interviewes at the PD.

I see that Crusader is the famous GuardianAngel8 over at CCT's blogs! Yep, you are a idiot here as well!

A serious question here, What makes anyone an expert here to determine the facts? None of you here are any part of the investigation, I am sure.

Whatever happened to respecting each other? Why do you usps02651 have to disrepsect Fire & PD? I just do not get it.

Come on usps02651, you know you have something to say about this horrible accident.

Nice Answer usps02651!

What no questioning of how Eastham FD treated the lady of if med-flight was called or if they flash their lights?

Me thinks he failed the test!!!!

Hey usps02651, I'll call your bluff, prove to me Med-Flight was called for a papercut!Stick to what you do best, deliver the mail. Can't you read? EMT's and Paramedics have to follow protocols mandated by MA. Are you aware that those EMS personnel are under the supervision of the Head ER Dr. @ CCH? What if it was one of your love ones involved in a serious medical situation?

possee, Are you in the Medical Field?

I agree wahhmbulance.

usps02651, Has it occured to you that you have NO idea what the hell you are talking about? Please answer what "qualifies" for a Med-Flight in your world. Waiting for your answer.

ups02651, What DO you know about EMS on Cape Cod? Are you an EMS provider? Are you aware that the EMT's and Paramedics have to follow protocols mandated by MA law? Are you aware that those EMS personnel are under the supervision of the Head ER Dr. @ CCH? What if it was one of your love ones involved in a serious medical situation?
