  1. The issue has always been, to me, the "prompt service" that you state is important to you. I live in the NE portion of the county and prompt has never been used in the same sentence when requesting an ambulance. Only based on my own, personal experiences as well as backed up with response data provided by the state. It will be my hope that the new service reallocates resources to provide better service for my area and decrease overall response times for the entire county.
  2. The first of August I was told by a Clark employee that the was an agreement to sell out to Metro (who is currently running the business operations.)
  3. I honestly thought the middle school basketball program was closed down several years ago due to budget cuts.
  4. Ordered something from out of state retailer and did not get sales tax applied. Went to Amazon and put something in cart and went to check out - no sales tax shown. I guess maybe this may be delayed with some online stores.
  5. So if are elligble for coverage elseware and it cost more with possilby lower benefits, is that seen and an increase in coverage costs?
  6. luckily congress has nothing to worry about. Hope I don't see anything higher than 4% average increase in my costs this year
  7. I use domion 2L, ordered off of Amazon or from http://store.doyourownpestcontrol.com/ Also the Ortho Home Defense product at Home Depot works well in doors
  8. but your property values will most likely show an increase...
  9. I simply teach my scouts that you should only be in the woods with someone that you are faster than in the case that you run into an angry bear.... But, seriously, in the thousands of miles of hiking in my life time I have run into 8-10 bears. The majority of them are hauling-ass away from me. Only once, in the Shenandoah National Park, did I find myself in between a mom and two cubs. Of course, I was the one hauling-ass in that situation.
  10. One thing to consider for a firearm is if you can even get ammo for it. I have had a very hard time finding 9x18 Makarov and 7.62x25 Tokarev. Pretty makes my guns useless - I guess that was the Fed's plan all along.
  11. I guess the big question is why the amber alert was so delayed?
  12. as far as I know the amber alert is still in effect and came out shortly after noon.
  13. Have not seen any relationship of the 22 yof - only that her name is Samantha Barrett and is described as white with red, medium length hair, and blue eyes. She is 5'5", and weighs 190 lbs.
  14. Kaidyn Stover (8 months old) Vehicle: 2003 Ford Taurus, GrayGeorgia license plate #PAT8423 The 8 month old child was abducted by the 22 year old abductor. They were last seen at 4367 Commanche Drive in Acworth, Georgia. Believed to be traveling in a 2003 Gray Ford Taurus with GA tag PAT8423. IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THE WHEREABOUTS OF KAIDYN STOVER CONTACT BARTOW COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE AT 770-382-5050. If you have information, contact: Bartow County Sheriff's OfficeCall: 770-382-5050
  15. I would suggest the news media asked to come do a story. With our scout trailer theft, the local news channels monitor Cobb police reports and they requested interviews with our scouts. That brought on several gracious people that helped out our scout troop financially as well as with equipment donations. I am sure if the word got out there a local business that has equipment would make a donation.
  16. no on the scout trailer- Cobb PD stated the trailer probably ended up in Alabama due to their lack of registration requirements and the $5000+ worth of gear dumped in a land fill. Apparently the enclosed trailers are popular with construction crews.
  17. back in may our scout equipment trailer was stolen - from a church parking lot. It is amazing what people will steal. I hope someone comes through for the school.
  18. somewhere in my profile settings I disabled even seeing signatures in posts - so I don't even know nor care if I am being attacked.
  19. I own two Toyotas and the few times I have used a dealer Cobby County has been very good and reasonable (price wise) to work with. What is the code the computer is providing? I guess she is chasing an emissions issue. Could very well be that the shop she is using does not realize there is more than one upstream O2 sensor.
  20. You can take it to the paulding transfer station off of Seven Hills Blvd. I would pull the drive and connect to an external appliance that I have to format the drive. Otherwise, just pull it and bash with a hammer.
  21. try right click on desktop and go into the video properties. Mine has a feature to rotate. Maybe you hit some keystroke sequence that rotated the screen.
  22. I think I have been around since May of 2004. I've mostly enjoyed learning more of county news. Living in the north end of the county we are more a part of Acworth than Dallas/Hiram. Learning news about Paulding made me feel more a part of the county. Probably my best memories were learning of SO/FD activities and trying to keep up with the posts in the scanner forum. The bus accident where Mrs. Wright lost her life, a suicide just down the road, Emory flight landing for rescue for a serious MVA. All gave me a better appricieation for law enforcement and our EMS workers. I do recall
  23. make sure the unit has good circulation. I just upgraded to a EA-6500 for increased speeds.
  24. Clark owns the Zone EMS service contract for Paulding which is issued from the state. They can meet their obligations with 1 truck and one crew. There is a budget line item of $250K in the county's FY2104 budget and I believe the county still pays for all their fuel costs. Last year they received $225K. While they have made improvements in coverage by bringing on additional staff , brought on newer equipment, etc. I still don't feel that they cover the north end of the county adequately enough. One would think that there will be economies of scale that management of a larger company
  25. Still no water. All I know is that Austin has had 5 years. Where's the beef?
