Thanks, idiots !!!!!

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.

Lawrence, Ind.—
A Pike Township firefighter died in an accident involving a semi-truck Thursday afternoon.

According to officials, a box truck rear-ended a semi-truck on Pendelton Pike. The box truck then went across the road and hit a pickup truck. The driver of the pickup, Pike Township firefighter James Shelly, 35, was killed.

According to authorities, two of Shelley's four children were in the pickup at the time. There's no word on if they were hurt. Shelly's wife, who was driving behind her husband, saw the whole thing happen.

According to the Pike Township Fire Department, Shelly joined the department in 2009 and was a member of the PTFD Honor Guard.

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.

How do they KEEP missing the drive thru fire stations??

Hillsborough deputies shut down drive-through drug operation near University Mall, expect more arrests
By Jessica Vander Velde, Times Staff Writer
In Print: Thursday, September 8, 2011


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Times news researcher John Martin contributed to this report. Jessica Vander Velde can be reached at (813) 226-3433 or jvandervelde@sptimes.com.

Guarantees a slam dunk with layers upon layers of charges to ensure something sticks.

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.

So perhaps you enjoy some bias towards death. As well, wtf you talkin bout? Florida prisons have no rehab. Reply

WTFIUWSPT Sep 5, 2011 2:36 PM Less than a minute ago mr/ms ssc, I am normally the last one to point out spelling. I just wonder if you are aware of your very frequent misspellings? I wonder where you were a ff/medic because here in tampa they require at LEAST a GED. Please don't take this as an insult as I said I don't personally care if y ou misspell your own name. I just wonder if there is a place for ff/medics where the standards are even lower than Tampa and Hillsborough County? As well, are you employed again? Just curious. And not in a mean way. Please don't misconstrue my comments.

WTFIUWSPT Sep 5, 2011 2:31 PM Less than a minute ago whoo. BIG surprise there. I love that lust for the death penalty from a supposed "first responder" responsible for "saving lives". So incongruous.

Report Abuse lanienus Sep 5, 2011 10:35 AM About 4 hours ago It's always smart to be walking around with a SHOTGUN when police arrive on domestic calls. Perhaps a machette in the other hand would add to the fashion statement. This keeps officers alert and lets hem know you are not just another brick in the wall.
