Drug shortages worry Tampa Bay emergency medical providers
By Anne Lindberg, Times Staff WriterTampa Bay Times
In Print: Tuesday, December 27, 2011
A nationwide shortage of some lifesaving drugs has hit Tampa Bay emergency medical responders, forcing them to find other ways to care for their patients.
Paramedics regularly use many of the drugs to relieve pain, to help with a heart attack or to calm combative patients. So far, the EMS systems have been able to substitute one drug for another — for example, morphine instead of the painkiller fentanyl, which is in low supply.
The shortage is hitting especially hard in Pinellas, where most medications are back-ordered, EMS medical director Laurie Romig said. The problem is especially critical for pain relievers, sedatives and heart medications. Pinellas is down to its last doses of fentanyl. And Valium, used to calm combative patients and for seizures and pain management, is back-ordered.
"We're talking lifesaving drugs," Romig said. "I think it's going to get worse before it gets better."
Tampa and Hillsborough also are facing shortages of some commonly used medicines.
"It is problematic, yes, but it hasn't hit critical mass," said Nick loCicero, assistant chief of administration and rescue for Tampa Fire Rescue. "We're all in kind of the same boat."
The Tampa department has seen shortages of such drugs as Terbutaline, which helps asthmatics to breathe; Labetalol, used to regulate heart rhythm; and Cardizem, used for high blood pressure and other heart problems.
Karen Davidson, rescue division chief for Hillsborough Fire and Rescue, said the shortage has not centered on one drug but "changes daily." The department is finding it hard to get Versed, which can be used as a sedative or anesthetic. EMS paramedics frequently use it to make it easier to insert breathing tubes. Also back-ordered is magnesium sulfate, used as a muscle relaxer.
Sporadic drug shortages are not unusual, but the number of reported prescription drug shortages in the United States nearly tripled between 2005 and 2010, according to the federal Food and Drug Administration.
The shortages appear to be caused by several factors, according to a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Among those: a lack of production capacity and expiration of patents, which allows other companies to make generics. It takes time, the HHS report said, for manufacturers to gear up to make the drugs.
Complicating the issue, Romig said, are the problems faced by Hospira, the Illinois company that makes many of the generic medications Tampa Bay emergency medical agencies use.
The FDA has criticized the company for inadequate quality controls. Hospira has said it is fixing the problems, but Romig said the situation makes things difficult for consumers.
"Right now, we don't know whether we will be able to continue getting drugs from that manufacturer," she said. "It could be very much worse if Hospira goes down."
In the short term, Tampa Bay area EMS systems have been substituting one drug for another. They also order different dosage sizes that are more readily available.
Romig has created a committee to study creative solutions to the problem.
Romig said no one calling 911 for help should worry: "We're doing everything we can to preserve our ability to treat our patients as we always have."

Reply Report Abuse 2 2 jezjames92 Dec 27, 2011 8:47 AM About 10 hours ago Valium and versed are anti-anxiety drugs, not "life-saving"drugs. Fentanyl is a pain killer stronger than morphine not a "life-saving" drug. Terbutaline, labetalol and cardizem have other substitutes. Why would anyone want drugs from a problem manufacturer. There are other drugs manufactured by reputable drug manufacturers. This sounds squirrely.

I am watching to see if Diovan (for BP) will take the same tack. What exactly remains illegal anymore??? Reply Report Abuse 0 0 ej033 Dec 27, 2011 11:51 AM About 7 hours ago Don't forget the ever increasing regulations drug manufacturers have to meet and the DEA adding icing to that cake. That is the main reason it takes so long for makers to actually start to make a drug product. If the free market could operate, then there would be astronger drug supply. The goverent is fostering a shortage environment.

sandyo Dec 27, 2011 6:09 PM About 21 minutes ago WHAT "new regulations" other than the scheduled phases development have always existed. Please? Pharma has ALWAYS complained that R & D costs were what jack up the prices. It's not so, when you consider the longevity of the prices post-market. Again, Big Pharma's obscene profits off our backs should make speed of delivery ever so easy nowadays! Another scam. Everyone know that your docs or nurse practitioners should be writing prescriptions for generics where they exist? You save tons $, Another tip: the expiration date so sanctimoniously inscribed on the bottle is very often shortchanging you--most meds last in a cool dry environment at least 2 yrs longer than they claim. Only a very few change after that, and 99% of the changes are only in loss of potency! I write a 1000+ pg pharm resource text w/international distribution but you can sure compare prices via internet or your favorite pharmacists. You can also ask about actual loss of potency of yr meds, if you can trust them. Reply Report Abuse 0 0

Thanks, idiots !!!!!
Henry...................................................... looks like another of your churchy friends??????????????????
Cause that ho Jessica sho nuff be a lil Christian like you and your "renters" and Colin's buddy, FITZ the preacher.
THIS IS AWESOME THOUGH: Nothing like bringing it to me.
There is also YA5LD and YA5L1 ?? I believe which belonged to spence roberts until the fat chicken shit changed it. NOT JESS. She's GOT PROTECTION. LOL !!!
With all proceeds going to fund the needs of the St. George Island volunteer fire department and first responders, Shepard made a push this year to spread word that the department's ladder truck was instrumental in quenching a devastating fire at a downtown Apalachicola bank last November.
"I knew it was going to be tough, with the way the economy is," he said.
In a letter to last year's participants, Shepard provided a link to Howard Reeder's video of the fire, complete with images of the ladder truck helping prevent a widespread conflagration downtown such as what leveled the city in 1900.
"The ladder truck was purchased three years ago with proceeds raised at the Chili Cookoff," he wrote to last year's field. "Without you guys, there would be no cook-off. In a roundabout way, you all helped save Apalachicola. That's your fire truck. Our people are responsible for that truck being there."
Highlighting the cook-off's returnees are 2001 and 2004 winner Diane Melancon, of Double D Chili, out of Gonzales, LA; 2005 winner Ron Judson, of Great American Chili Co. Too, out of Red Bluff, CA; 2006 winner Bruce Gaylor, of Dead Serious Chili #3, of Tampa; 2007 winner Doug Smith, of Dead Serious Chili, out of Clearwater; and last year's champ, Paul Nunn, of Nunn Better Chili, out of Ft. Pierce.
The cook-off has expanded mightily since it started 27 years ago and, a few years following that, decided to draw more participants by becoming official within chili circles.
"We joined the ICS as a way to get chili cooks to come," said Shepard. "And that worked out and this became part of the steppingstone for serious cooks to go on to the national championship.
When he considers the field of contestants, Shepard said it ranges from purists, looking for a win that will propel them to the world championships, to those who are on the island mainly to have a good time, and savor the frivolity and camaraderie the cook-off brings.
"And there's like the Parrotheads," Shepard said, citing a boisterous group with chapters in both Atlanta and Tallahassee that each year takes part in the cook-off.
"Those guys are here to party," he said. "They're not concerned so much for the actual chili competition. But they bring five to six carloads of people, they rent places and they shop at the local grocery."
With one foot in both camps are groups like Tampa's Dead Serious chili teams, who bring a casket and cut flowers as a playful, macabre touch to their efforts, and who won last year and are usually among the top finalists.
In addition to a ticket to the world championship, competitors compete for a $500 prize for first place, a $300 check for second place, and a $200 prize for third place. Plaques are also awarded to the best booth, best showmanship and high yield, which means most money raised from $1 cup sales that benefit the fire department.
The weekend gets underway Thursday morning with a golf tournament at St. James Bay Golf Course, with tee time at 11 a.m. Golfers are welcome to show up on day of tourney; entry fee is $100 per golfer.
Friday's activities begin with an art preview from 5 to 7 p.m. in the civic hall of the Jay Abbott fire house on East Pine Street. Admission is a $5 preview donation.
On Saturday, the 5K Red Pepper Run gets underway at 8 a.m., under the direction of Susan Bassett.
Booth set-up begins at 8:30 a.m., followed by the 9:30 a.m. start of the amateur crock pot chili competition. These are chilies prepared at home, minimum one gallon, with no rules for competition There is a $5 entry fee, and all proceeds go to the charity cook-off.
The formal competition begins at 10 a.m. with chopping, slicing, marinating, and the like, with stoves lit officially at 11 a.m. Rules in effect include no beans, pasta, etc. chili prepared on site from scratch, no prepackaged chili mixes, meat may be cut, sliced or ground in advance, but not treated or cooked except during competition.
The charity auction, conducted by Wade Clark and Harry Arnold, begins at 11 a.m. followed by booth and showmanship judging beginning at 11:30 a.m.
Ticia Lipscomb, the cookoff's treasurer, said the list of items to be auctioned off include a 2002 Ford Explorer "in excellent condition, with all the records from the day it was bought."
Also being auctioned are a 1987 23' Proline fishing boat, a 22' sailboat, and a 17' aluminum canoe, as well over a hundred items ranging from unique art to gift certificates to vacation stays and more.
The Miss Chili Pepper and Mister Hot Sauce judging is between noon and 1:30 p.m., with chili judging at 2 p.m.
The "King Cotton Blues Band" will start playing at around 3 p.m., once the auction stops.

Firefighter stalking hearing Friday
By: Darrell Todd Maurina
I've been reading this gentleman's articles since I found this firefighter stalking one and he appears to be an exceptional talent.
More here.
SAINT ROBERT, Mo. (Aug. 22, 2011) — A Rolla-area judge has been assigned to handle a request for protection orders between the St. Robert assistant fire chief and the former emergency response coordinator for the American Red Cross’s Phelps-Pulaski County unit.
According to court records, Phelps County Associate Circuit Judge Bill Hickle will hear the two cases at 9 a.m. Friday in the Pulaski County Courthouse in which Assistant Fire Chief Gregory D. Polk and former firefighter Joseph P. Krill Jr. accuse each other of various stalking-related offenses and say they’re afraid of each other. The case was assigned by Presiding Judge Tracy Storie to Hickle because Associate Circuit Judge Greg Warren, who knows both men, decided on Aug. 3 that he couldn’t handle the case.
In addition to their roles on the St. Robert Fire Department, Assistant Fire Chief Gregory D. Polk and former firefighter Joseph P. Krill Jr. are both well-known as community leaders. Polk’s volunteer work with the St. Robert Fire Department began while he was still a drill sergeant at Fort Leonard Wood and he’s served as a Missouri National Guard recruiter. Krill, a medically disabled veteran, received the 2006 Waynesville-St. Robert Chamber of Commerce citizen of the year award for his numerous volunteer activities, which have included the Pulaski County Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, and Fort Leonard Wood Thrift Shop. Krill also ran for Waynesville city council several times, but was defeated.

Hillsborough deputies shut down drive-through drug operation near University Mall, expect more arrests

Hillsborough deputies stand in the courtyard of the Pines I Apartments, 11720 N 14th St., near University Mall in Tampa on Wednesday where a drug “drive-through” was discovered.
TAMPA — One by one, motorists arrived, rolling down windows and giving up cash, as they would at a fast-food restaurant.
This drive-through opened at 11 a.m. some days, but lunch was never on the menu.
Instead, customers could order cocaine, oxycodone, ecstasy and marijuana. Guns, too.
At a news conference Wednesday, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office announced that it had broken up a drug trafficking ring that caught even investigators by surprise.
About 11 months ago, deputies began building cases against two men reputed to be dealing drugs in a neighborhood near University Mall.
Investigators thought Zavien Brand, 28, and Joseph Nurse, 35, might lead them to a few more people, maybe six or eight, said sheriff's Maj. J.R. Burton.
But the small undercover probe soon turned into a larger investigation — dubbed Operation Pandora's Box — as deputies realized the area's loose-knit group of dealers included dozens of people.
On Wednesday, sheriff's officials announced they had 54 warrants and, as of 4 p.m., 32 arrests, most on drug and gun possession charges.
"We had no idea this was going on," Burton said.
They focused on several addresses in the neighborhood near Nebraska and Fletcher avenues. The drive-through was at the Pines I Apartments at 11720 N 14th St., deputies said.
Deputies took 29 guns off the street, including seven assault rifles and two weapons believed to be linked to shootings in the area.
Also seized: about 1.3 pounds of crack cocaine, 0.64 ounces of powder cocaine, 0.25 ounces of oxycodone and some ecstasy — valued at about $75,000 total, Burton said.
Burton hopes the operation sends a message to an area that has long struggled with crime, and he wants residents to know that deputies aren't done.
Brand was charged with dealing crack cocaine and being a felon in possession of a gun. Nurse was charged with dealing crack cocaine, marijuana and stolen property.
Deputies planned to continue executing search warrants until they arrest all 54 suspects.

firefighters whiz by spt updates .... loser firepigs
He was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital.
McCoy, an 11-year veteran of the agency, was assigned to administrative duties.
In 2008, McCoy was awarded the Governor's Medal of Heroism, an award presented to first responders who knowingly risk their lives in the line of duty.
On June 7, McCoy shot and killed murder suspect Jorge Bello Garcia, 54, as Garcia struggled to wrestle the gun away from a wounded deputy.
Deputies surrounded Garcia's truck at Linebaugh Avenue and Henderson Road after being warned that he had just killed three people. Garcia shot and injured Deputies Ray Wilson and Arthur "Art" Lence before McCoy fired the fatal shot.
In September, McCoy received the Sheriff's Office Medal of Honor from Sheriff David Gee for his actions.
McCoy is an expert marksman.
When McCoy joined the force in 2000, he wrote on his application that he has "high proficiency" in firearm use. Then-Sheriff Cal Henderson praised him for getting the "Top Gun" award for his handgun proficiency at the law enforcement academy.

Typical Firefighter MEDIC death penalty THUG
I find it VERY uncomfortable a medic having such death wishes for his fellow citizens. It's a short leap from being judge jury and executioner in the back of an ambulance.
You DO SEE these thugs, right? Look at the people at your fire station and in your ambulances.... THUGS. Make no mistake. And many are also short clearly opening the door for short guy syndrome.
BEWARE and read down to south suwannee county.

A Tampa man was wounded Sunday night after he pointed a shotgun at officers who responded to a domestic dispute, police said.
The officers approached a home in the 1300 block of W Grace Street about 9:15 p.m. after a woman's 911 call, Assistant Police Chief Marc Hamlin said. During the 911 call, the woman was whispering into the phone and said someone in the house had a gun.
Three officers went to the house, and the woman came outside. That's when the officers saw a man with a shotgun, Hamlin said. The man pointed it at one of the officers, who shot him in the arm, Hamlin added.
Christopher Labrado, 34, suffered wounds that aren't life threatening, police said. It was Labrado's wife who made the 911 call, according to Hamlin.
Hamlin identified the officer involved as Carlos Houston, a six-year veteran who has been a Tampa officer for three years.

Or turn to look towards them? ergo gun moved with him? TPD cops are in serious need of more training. I've read their manual searching for why they don't know what drug houses look like. I've seen little tiny cops like bill dill call out nine cops over a boundary dispute where no one was armed or even angry. WTF? Only three cops here for a shot gun?The lady was walking around freely and using the phone. Something more to this story. It's a bad neighborhood and street but labrado has no record. Houston is a six year vet but only 3 years as an officer? I agree it was probably an accidental shooting in the arm. But there is much hyperbole when guns are involved. Get a grip. The man if distraught, did not deserve to die for being stupid or troubled. Reply

Perhaps you're just a much nicer person than I am. I don't think pointing a shotgun at a law enforcement officer is just "a stupid mistake" and yes, you SHOULD have to die for it. The man got off lucky. I assume the officer was shooting at center-mass but a man holding a shotgun has his arms in front of his chest.

A Tampa man was wounded Sunday night after he pointed a shotgun at officers who responded to a domestic dispute, police said.
The officers approached a home in the 1300 block of W Grace Street about 9:15 p.m. after a woman's 911 call, Assistant Police Chief Marc Hamlin said. During the 911 call, the woman was whispering into the phone and said someone in the house had a gun.
Three officers went to the house, and the woman came outside. That's when the officers saw a man with a shotgun, Hamlin said. The man pointed it at one of the officers, who shot him in the arm, Hamlin added.
Christopher Labrado, 34, suffered wounds that aren't life threatening, police said. It was Labrado's wife who made the 911 call, according to Hamlin.
Hamlin identified the officer involved as Carlos Houston, a six-year veteran who has been a Tampa officer for three years.

I've seen little tiny cops like bill dill call out nine cops over a boundary dispute where no one was armed or even angry. WTF? Only three cops here for a shot gun?The lady was walking around freely and using the phone. Something more to this story. It's a bad neighborhood and street but labrado has no record. Houston is a six year vet but only 3 years as an officer? I agree it was probably an accidental shooting in the arm. But there is much hyperbole when guns are involved. Get a grip. The man if distraught, did not deserve to die for being stupid or troubled. Reply

Perhaps you're just a much nicer person than I am. I don't think pointing a shotgun at a law enforcement officer is just "a stupid mistake" and yes, you SHOULD have to die for it. The man got off lucky. I assume the officer was shooting at center-mass but a man holding a shotgun has his arms in front of his chest.

Eric Rapp Wants to Counsel Teens Check the Record

Former firefighter with record opens community center for teens in Land O'Lakes
By Lisa Buie, Times Staff Writer
In Print: Sunday, August 14, 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric Rapp, 33, is opening the Program, a nonprofit community center at Impact Sports Academy in Land O’Lakes.
[SKIP O’ROURKE | Times]

LAND O'LAKES — On paper, Eric Rapp has the right resume for starting an after-school program for teens: Local graduate and former star of the Land O'Lakes High wrestling team with multiple state titles under his belt. Former member of the elite Army Rangers. A licensed paramedic and former Hillsborough County firefighter. A guy with a clean haircut, pressed pants and a bright smile.
"I want to give kids a safe place to go after school, where they can do their homework and work out," said Rapp, who is opening the Program at Land O'Lakes, a nonprofit community center at 21434 Carson Drive behind Village Lakes shopping center. His business is sharing the 20,000-square-foot building with Impact Sports Academy, a separate, for-profit business that helps teens hone their athletic skills with batting cages, weights and personal training in a variety of sports.
Though separately owned, parents must pay one monthly fee that must include both the after-school care and access to the sports programs. Extra services, such as professional tutoring and training, also are available for additional fees.
Rapp, 33, said he was inspired to open his center after rescuing teens as a firefighter. "I've seen them with pills coming out of their mouths," he said. "I'm glad I had people in my life who kept me on the straight and narrow."
In addition to that resume, however, Rapp also has a record — one that prevents him from working with children at Pasco schools.
"He applied numerous times, but he is not allowed to volunteer because of the incident with the police," school district spokeswoman Summer Romagnoli said. "His name is on a list that says 'Do not use.' "
That incident happened in 2003, when Rapp faced criminal charges after a bar fight and confrontation with Hillsborough deputies. Records show he fled from police a different time two years later and was subdued with a Taser. And earlier this year a neighbor filed for a restraining order, alleging Rapp was watching his house and threatening to kill him.
Rapp admits that he used poor judgment at a few key points in his life. He says he paid the price with debilitating back pain from that 2003 incident that improved only recently after surgery. But he said the decisions that led to trouble were influenced by his own high moral standards and a refusal to accept anything less from others — beliefs for which he owes no one an apology.
"I've made plenty of mistakes in my life," he said, "but I wouldn't change anything."
• • •
Rapp was in a festive mood the night of Aug. 16, 2003, when he, his future wife and some paramedic friends went out to the Tampa Brickyard for some appetizers and drinks.
Life was good. Rapp, then 25, had been a firefighter for about 10 months. His supervisor had written a glowing review that praised his "enthusiastic attitude" and "great eagerness to learn."
"(Firefighter) Rapp is a hard worker who takes his job seriously reflecting a respectful and professional impression," Capt. B. Kostopoulos wrote. "My only regret is that I no longer work with (firefighter) Rapp due to a station transfer."
Rapp said he ordered a round of drinks for the seven people in his party. A woman had just sat down beside the group at the bar. The bartender returned with eight drinks.
"Being in a jovial mood, I paid for the drink," Rapp said. A minute later, Rapp recalled, a man approached him and angrily questioned why he bought a drink for his girlfriend.
"He was using foul language, and my wife was there," Rapp said. "So I reached back and popped him in the mouth," he said demonstrating a light swat.
A brawl broke out. Rapp said he went outside, only to be followed. He remembered someone cutting his face with a beer bottle.
"At that point the decision was run away or stay and fight," he said. "I admit my best decision-making skills were not on showcase that night."
The bar manager later told a deputy that Rapp had been asked to leave but kept coming back in and fighting. A sheriff's report said that Rapp had struck the bar manager in the face, "causing him to bleed."
By the time Hillsborough deputies arrived, the fight had broken up. Rapp sat in his truck, belted into the passenger's seat. A shirt covered his face.
Deputies at the scene described Rapp in court statements as "extremely intoxicated" and "very aggressive" toward deputies who were trying to inspect his injuries and sort out what happened with the crowd outside the bar.
"He was throwing punches," said Deputy Randolph Lewis, who took Rapp down in a bear hug. "He was completely out of control."
But Rapp said he wasn't trying to resist — he just couldn't see who was outside the truck because his face was covered to stop the bleeding. He said the deputies then interpreted that as aggression and got rough with him. He said one hit him in the back with a heavy flashlight, causing his back injury. However, he did not file any complaints about the deputies' behavior, and said his attorney told him no one would believe him since he faced three counts of battery on a law enforcement officer and one count of violently resisting arrest. He said the fact that prosecutors agreed to drop the charges if Rapp enrolled in a pre-trial diversion program showed their case was shaky.
"They said all this would go away if I just took four weeks of anger management and did some community service," he said.
So Rapp did, and the case was dismissed in 2005.
During his participation in the pre-trial program, however, Rapp had another run-in with officers on April 24, 2005. This time they subdued him with a Taser, according to a letter from Rapp's attorney.
Rapp said he was trying to break up a fight at a swimming pool when police showed up. Given his prior incident at the bar, Rapp said he decided to flee the scene. He was ticketed for disorderly conduct, but the charge was later dropped.
Rapp didn't have any more problems until this March, when neighbor Robert Reeher filed for a restraining order.
In the petition, Reeher said Rapp threatened to kill him on two occasions and put him in a choke hold after Reeher unsuccessfully tried to use pepper spray on him. He said Rapp was angry that his babysitter was at the neighbor's home.
"We are afraid to go outside," Reeher wrote in March.
Rapp called the allegations of violence "B.S." and said he was concerned that the 18-year-old babysitter, his wife's cousin, was at Reeher's house "in the middle of the night."
Records show Reeher dropped the request for the restraining order a month later. He would not comment for this story.
• • •
Rapp, who has invested at least $35,000 into opening the after-school center, said all his life experiences — being raised in a broken home by an alcoholic mother, being taken in by parents of friends who insisted he accompany them to church — will help him relate to hurting teens and put them on a straight path.
His center will fill a void in central Pasco, where day care centers cut off service after kids finish elementary school. The area also lacks a YMCA, which offers after-school programs for teens.
Rapp plans to rely mainly on church volunteers for staff and will bus students from area middle and high schools to his center, which will have computers and a lounge. He envisions his center as an overall community resource, perhaps even a headquarters for the local Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
"It's a good fit with us," said Michael Snow, co-owner of Impact Sports Academy, the separately-owned business sharing space with Rapp. He said while Rapp's aim is to keep kids out of trouble, his goal is to get them off the couch.
Snow said he has no trouble working with Rapp.
"It was eight years ago," he said of the bar arrest.
Now almost a decade older and the father of two preschoolers, Rapp said he's no longer the same man who got into a bar brawl.
"There was a time when I thought I could go head to head with a locomotive and still have the upper hand," he said.

Initially I had reservations in the back of my mind. Fortunately time had healed their "imperfections" ... they grew up.
The fellow in this article made a very low level infraction, on the giant scale rules. After nearly a decade of issue free life, a little common sense should be applied.

This statement reveals this freak to be a psychopath of the highest order. Really? Were the deputies ALSO below his high standards?? These are not minor infractions. He's a control freak who will eventually end up impacting some impressionable kid's life in the wrong way. But this is the firefighter tradition. Never let one go. They're still trying to get George Lewis out for murdering his neighbor across the street for having a black boyfriend. WTF is wrong with you people? What connection does Michael Snow have to the firefighters? Any parent who actually pays for this is stupider than he is.

Former firefighter with record opens community center for teens in Land O'Lakes
By Lisa Buie, Times Staff Writer
In Print: Sunday, August 14, 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric Rapp, 33, is opening the Program, a nonprofit community center at Impact Sports Academy in Land O’Lakes.

LAND O'LAKES — On paper, Eric Rapp has the right resume for starting an after-school program for teens: Local graduate and former star of the Land O'Lakes High wrestling team with multiple state titles under his belt. Former member of the elite Army Rangers. A licensed paramedic and former Hillsborough County firefighter. A guy with a clean haircut, pressed pants and a bright smile.
"I want to give kids a safe place to go after school, where they can do their homework and work out," said Rapp, who is opening the Program at Land O'Lakes, a nonprofit community center at 21434 Carson Drive behind Village Lakes shopping center. His business is sharing the 20,000-square-foot building with Impact Sports Academy, a separate, for-profit business that helps teens hone their athletic skills with batting cages, weights and personal training in a variety of sports.
Though separately owned, parents must pay one monthly fee that must include both the after-school care and access to the sports programs. Extra services, such as professional tutoring and training, also are available for additional fees.
Rapp, 33, said he was inspired to open his center after rescuing teens as a firefighter. "I've seen them with pills coming out of their mouths," he said. "I'm glad I had people in my life who kept me on the straight and narrow."
In addition to that resume, however, Rapp also has a record — one that prevents him from working with children at Pasco schools.
"He applied numerous times, but he is not allowed to volunteer because of the incident with the police," school district spokeswoman Summer Romagnoli said. "His name is on a list that says 'Do not use.' "
That incident happened in 2003, when Rapp faced criminal charges after a bar fight and confrontation with Hillsborough deputies. Records show he fled from police a different time two years later and was subdued with a Taser. And earlier this year a neighbor filed for a restraining order, alleging Rapp was watching his house and threatening to kill him.
Rapp admits that he used poor judgment at a few key points in his life. He says he paid the price with debilitating back pain from that 2003 incident that improved only recently after surgery. But he said the decisions that led to trouble were influenced by his own high moral standards and a refusal to accept anything less from others — beliefs for which he owes no one an apology.
"I've made plenty of mistakes in my life," he said, "but I wouldn't change anything."
• • •
Rapp was in a festive mood the night of Aug. 16, 2003, when he, his future wife and some paramedic friends went out to the Tampa Brickyard for some appetizers and drinks.
Life was good. Rapp, then 25, had been a firefighter for about 10 months. His supervisor had written a glowing review that praised his "enthusiastic attitude" and "great eagerness to learn."
"(Firefighter) Rapp is a hard worker who takes his job seriously reflecting a respectful and professional impression," Capt. B. Kostopoulos wrote. "My only regret is that I no longer work with (firefighter) Rapp due to a station transfer."
Rapp said he ordered a round of drinks for the seven people in his party. A woman had just sat down beside the group at the bar. The bartender returned with eight drinks.
"Being in a jovial mood, I paid for the drink," Rapp said. A minute later, Rapp recalled, a man approached him and angrily questioned why he bought a drink for his girlfriend.
"He was using foul language, and my wife was there," Rapp said. "So I reached back and popped him in the mouth," he said demonstrating a light swat.
A brawl broke out. Rapp said he went outside, only to be followed. He remembered someone cutting his face with a beer bottle.
"At that point the decision was run away or stay and fight," he said. "I admit my best decision-making skills were not on showcase that night."
The bar manager later told a deputy that Rapp had been asked to leave but kept coming back in and fighting. A sheriff's report said that Rapp had struck the bar manager in the face, "causing him to bleed."
By the time Hillsborough deputies arrived, the fight had broken up. Rapp sat in his truck, belted into the passenger's seat. A shirt covered his face.
Deputies at the scene described Rapp in court statements as "extremely intoxicated" and "very aggressive" toward deputies who were trying to inspect his injuries and sort out what happened with the crowd outside the bar.
"He was throwing punches," said Deputy Randolph Lewis, who took Rapp down in a bear hug. "He was completely out of control."
But Rapp said he wasn't trying to resist — he just couldn't see who was outside the truck because his face was covered to stop the bleeding. He said the deputies then interpreted that as aggression and got rough with him. He said one hit him in the back with a heavy flashlight, causing his back injury. However, he did not file any complaints about the deputies' behavior, and said his attorney told him no one would believe him since he faced three counts of battery on a law enforcement officer and one count of violently resisting arrest. He said the fact that prosecutors agreed to drop the charges if Rapp enrolled in a pre-trial diversion program showed their case was shaky.
"They said all this would go away if I just took four weeks of anger management and did some community service," he said.
So Rapp did, and the case was dismissed in 2005.
During his participation in the pre-trial program, however, Rapp had another run-in with officers on April 24, 2005. This time they subdued him with a Taser, according to a letter from Rapp's attorney.
Rapp said he was trying to break up a fight at a swimming pool when police showed up. Given his prior incident at the bar, Rapp said he decided to flee the scene. He was ticketed for disorderly conduct, but the charge was later dropped.
Rapp didn't have any more problems until this March, when neighbor Robert Reeher filed for a restraining order.
In the petition, Reeher said Rapp threatened to kill him on two occasions and put him in a choke hold after Reeher unsuccessfully tried to use pepper spray on him. He said Rapp was angry that his babysitter was at the neighbor's home.
"We are afraid to go outside," Reeher wrote in March.
Rapp called the allegations of violence "B.S." and said he was concerned that the 18-year-old babysitter, his wife's cousin, was at Reeher's house "in the middle of the night."
Records show Reeher dropped the request for the restraining order a month later. He would not comment for this story.
• • •
Rapp, who has invested at least $35,000 into opening the after-school center, said all his life experiences — being raised in a broken home by an alcoholic mother, being taken in by parents of friends who insisted he accompany them to church — will help him relate to hurting teens and put them on a straight path.
His center will fill a void in central Pasco, where day care centers cut off service after kids finish elementary school. The area also lacks a YMCA, which offers after-school programs for teens.
Rapp plans to rely mainly on church volunteers for staff and will bus students from area middle and high schools to his center, which will have computers and a lounge. He envisions his center as an overall community resource, perhaps even a headquarters for the local Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
"It's a good fit with us," said Michael Snow, co-owner of Impact Sports Academy, the separately-owned business sharing space with Rapp. He said while Rapp's aim is to keep kids out of trouble, his goal is to get them off the couch.
Snow said he has no trouble working with Rapp.
"It was eight years ago," he said of the bar arrest.
Now almost a decade older and the father of two preschoolers, Rapp said he's no longer the same man who got into a bar brawl.
"There was a time when I thought I could go head to head with a locomotive and still have the upper hand," he said.

He's a control freak who will eventually end up impacting some impressionable kid's life in the wrong way. But this is the firefighter tradition. Never let one go. They're still trying to get George Lewis out for murdering his neighbor across the street for having a black boyfriend. WTF is wrong with you people? What connection does Michael Snow have to the firefighters? Any parent who actually pays for this is stupider than he is.

He was dishonest about his record and made up weak and stupid lies about his VERY BAD ACTIONS. Always excusing his violence. Imagine what his wife goes through

Report Abuse RagsTTiger Aug 14, 2011 10:55 AM About 2 hours ago I taught in another community for 33 years. I recall a number of students whose judgement was questionable at best. As years went by they went to college and matured. Surprisingly a few received their teaching licenses, coming back to the area to teach.
Initially I had reservations in the back of my mind. Fortunately time had healed their "imperfections" ... they grew up.
The fellow in this article made a very low level infraction, on the giant scale rules. After nearly a decade of issue free life, a little common sense should be applied.

TotallyPrevaricatingReports Aug 14, 2011 1:06 PM Less than a minute ago Did you read that part about this March? How are all these incidents low level infractions? A low level infraction would not involve several people left bleeding and a neighbor who was twice threatened by this guy.

TotallyPrevaricatingReports Aug 14, 2011 12:55 PM Less than a minute ago But he said the decisions that led to trouble were influenced by his own high moral standards and a refusal to accept anything less from others — beliefs for which he owes no one an apology... This statement reveals this freak to be a psychopath of the highest order. Really? Were the deputies ALSO below his high standards?? These are not minor infractions. He's a control freak who will eventually end up impacting some impressionable kid's life in the wrong way. But this is the firefighter tradition. Never let one go. They're still trying to get George Lewis out for murdering his neighbor across the street for having a black boyfriend. WTF is wrong with you people? What connection does Michael Snow have to the firefighters? Any parent who actually pays for this is stupider than he is.

TotallyPrevaricatingReports Aug 14, 2011 12:59 PM Less than a minute ago This guy and those around him who allowed him to make up so many weak and stupid lies to cover extremely bad behavior shouldn't be around HIS OWN KIDS never mind around others. And lo the firefighters of such high moral fiber they allowed a woman to die while three of them laughed will be dropping in to help the kids learn the right stuff. LOL. And so we don't need to wonder any longer how Pasco and LOL and surrounding communities make the news so often. Thank your local firefighter. Wow. You can't make this stuff up.

TotallyPrevaricatingReports Aug 14, 2011 1:01 PM Less than a minute ago If he had a problem during pretrial diversion he should have been prosecuted on the prior charges. Was Samantha Ward (wife of firefighter Al Suarez fired for jamie the hooker in the firehouse) his judge? Or Daniel Sleet? I could name a few others so I'll just go look and settle the question. Firefighters equal GOD because they know an awful lot about this and that, yknow what I mean?

He doesn't even CONNECT to how terrible the underlying behavior is. WTF? I pity his neighbor, his wife, his children and any child or person he comes across. I regret the neighbor backed down. In essence another person who bowed to pressure from the local firefighters extortionist ways no doubt. I would love to talk to this man.

ONLY in this case they dismissed felonies (I was mistaken above due to the sneaky way they did this) while the pretrial intervention was GONE BAD. And eric sorta forgot to mention the 2001 incident same thing obstructing and opposing an officer. But the fire dept happily hired him on anyway. How many of your paramedics have had eight felonies overlooked??? LOL. On all of us. A big joke. Where did he get 35 grand is the better question.

However, like the paramedic's wife who beat her baby to a pulp cherrrryl lynn barnett tuggle davis (still being arrested for doctor shopping STILL having half the charges dropped) he got PTI with prior charges and she got PTI with prior violent charges and failures to appear. Quite the syndicate they have going here. Reporter, can you please correct the statements of Mr. Rapp's lengthy record? It's available at pat frank clerk of court.

TAMPA — He didn't have any enemies.
Sean Buchanan, 26, of Temple Terrace spent his time working two restaurant jobs, caring for his daughter and pursuing his dream of singing, said his mother, Mary Buchanan.
On Friday, his mother, father, brother, two sisters and aunt pleaded with the public to help identify Buchanan's killer.
"This was completely random as far as we know," said his father, Gary Buchanan, 63, of Tampa. "It's a tragic loss, not only for our family but for everyone who knew him."
Buchanan went to the movies at AMC Regency Theaters in Brandon and was found in his car down an embankment behind the theater hours later. An off-duty paramedic found him after 1 a.m. and called for help.
He had upper body trauma not consistent with a car accident, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. Deputies are calling his death a murder.
Mary Buchanan, 58, said she went all over the world to find her children. Sean came to her from South Korea when he was 3 months old, she said.
"He loved to share his talents. He loved to sing," she recalled.
His sisters, twins Katie and Kelly Buchanan, 23, said their brother was an amazing person who lived for his 10-month-old daughter, SheaLynn Joon McMullen. "That was his joy," Katie Buchanan said.
Detectives are short on leads in the case. Buchanan had no criminal history and worked jobs at Chipotle and Chick-fil-A to support his daughter.
Only one man was seen walking toward the area where Buchanan's car was found at the time deputies believe he was attacked. Investigators released the grainy surveillance photo of a man in a baseball cap in the hopes someone will know him.
"He could be a witness," said Detective Larry McKinnon, a sheriff's spokesman.

As well, yesterday they mentioned grey shirt, etc... along w/baseball hat. I did throw out there that fire dept personnel wear grey tshirts MOST OF THE TIME. A fact of general knowledge. Now today THAT bit of info is gone. SOMEONE KNOWS. Is your property valuable? If you have something to steal right there is where Hillsborough or Tampa Fire Rescue will enter your world and ruin it. Be very suspicious of why and how this paramedic found your child. And again .. from one who knows: I'm deeply sorry for the loss of someone so irreplaceable. It will get MUCH worse before it ever gets better. A terrible thing. I wish you well.

Deputies: Brandon man found in crashed car was murdered
By Jessica Vander Velde, Times Staff Writer
Posted: Jun 02, 2011 11:37 AM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BRANDON — Deputies say they believe a man found in a Brandon car crash early Tuesday was murdered.
After pulling Sean Michael Buchanan from a car that had driven into a nearby wooded area, authorities found upper body trauma they say happened earlier.
Deputies initially announced they were investigating the death and asked for the public's help. On Thursday, they said they're now pursuing it as a homicide investigation.
Buchanan, 26, of Temple Terrace, went to see a movie at the AMC Regency 20 in Brandon on Monday night, deputies say.
About 1:26 a.m., a passerby discovered Buchanan in a Toyota Corolla. The man was conscious but incoherent when he was found by an off-duty paramedic and had no idea what had happened, said spokesman Larry McKinnon. Buchanan later died at a hospital.

RIP young man.

BRANDON — Deputies say they think a man found in a Brandon car crash early Tuesday was murdered.
After pulling Sean Michael Buchanan from a car that had driven into a wooded area, authorities found trauma they say that happened earlier.
Deputies initially announced they were investigating the death and asked for the public's help. On Thursday, they said they're now pursuing it as a homicide.
Buchanan, 26, of Temple Terrace went to see a movie at the AMC Regency 20 in Brandon on Monday night, deputies say.
About 1:26 a.m., a passer-by discovered Buchanan nearby in a Toyota Corolla. He was conscious but incoherent and had no idea what had happened, said Sheriff's Office spokesman Larry McKinnon. Buchanan died at a hospital.
Deputies are looking for anyone who might have seen Buchanan or his Toyota in the area Monday night or who can help identify a man captured in the area on surveillance video.
The man is partly obscured by wearing a dark baseball cap. Deputies say he is between 18 and 35 years old with a thin build, and wearing a gray T-shirt and blue jeans. Anyone with information was asked to call the Sheriff's Office at (813) 247-8200.

If there wasn't ALWAYS a paramedic around more people might live to see tomorrow.

BRANDON — Deputies say they believe a man found in a Brandon car crash early Tuesday was murdered.
After pulling Sean Michael Buchanan from a car that had driven into a nearby wooded area, authorities found upper body trauma they say happened earlier.
Deputies initially announced they were investigating the death and asked for the public's help. On Thursday, they said they're now pursuing it as a homicide investigation.
Buchanan, 26, of Temple Terrace, went to see a movie at the AMC Regency 20 in Brandon on Monday night, deputies say.
About 1:26 a.m., a passerby discovered Buchanan in a Toyota Corolla. The man was conscious but incoherent when he was found by an off-duty paramedic and had no idea what had happened, said spokesman Larry McKinnon. Buchanan later died at a hospital.
Deputies ask anyone who might have seen Buchanan or his Toyota in the area between 9:50 and 10:30 p.m. Monday to call them at (813) 247-8200.
