I have heard of some roads getting water across them and the SO closing them. It has been steady for many hours here in NE Paulding.

ah, pubby, you are bringing up a sore subject in this county that has tried to keep itself below people's radar. It (extend EMS response times) only becomes an issue when it affects your family. I often hear SO units being dispatched to CPR in progress cases as they may have a quicker response than fire or the EMS unit.

it is called North Paulding Dr off of Bob Grogan Rd, which is off of Harmony Grove Church Road

Pubby, the moral of the story is that you should be trained and understand the procedure. As noted, many in the county experience 10 minute reponse times for EMS. The continuous compression method will be not as beneficial as standard method, agreed? If you pull the person from drowning, standard CPR should be used. You have done a service getting others to think about CPR - many have outdated training. The BSA is holding a CPR class in early December. It is much cheaper than the RC class.

the magazine must be hurting for publicity.... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091009/ap_en_...y_marge_simpson

hope the punks are tracked down and auto recovered

when do you NOT use continuous chest compressions? At what point would you stop the continuous chest compression method and start standard CPR, if you were qualified to do so?

several of you need to take the CPR refresher course - updated count is 2:30 (when school gets out) remember that in Paulding, EMS response times are longer than in the big city, averaging around 9 minutes for a EMS unit with paramedic to arrive. I'd advise that you stick with standard method unless you are in Hiram or City of Dallas.

I think Bosco was probably a special case. He was ill from cancer. The dog's expenses like food may be taken care of in their retirement. They are probably viewed as "resources" or "assets" that have served their useful purpose and are deposed of. I am sure the officer that has served with the dog for many years would have a hard time "sending him to the glue factory" or whatever is expected to happen to the asset that has been used up. I don't know the facts....

I can't answer for Chico. When K-9 Bosco retired, then Capt. Gullege went before the the BoC and asked that they "keep him on the payroll" so the county would cover vet bills, etc. He died a few weeks later. The only other K-9 that I know of that has retired is K-9 Rudy, who as far as I know, still lives with his handler, SGT Ritch, and his replacement K-9 Grizz. I would guess that Chico is at home with Dep. Hurst enjoying his retirement.

surepip, why couldn't those turkeys just stay home for 24 hours and get extra rest and increase fluid intake?

Details from article in the 10/8 Paulding Neighbor. K-9 Office Chico retired 9/23. Chico, a 9yo Belgian Malinois, served the citizens of Paulding county for 7 years as a dual purpose officer. His handler, Dep. Billy Hurst (SO 146), tracked and apprehended over 30 fleeing felons and seized hundreds of pounds of illegal drugs and US currency. Ailments due to age and the stress caused by being a working dog attributed to his retirement, although Sheriff Gulledge noted that Chico served the county well for 7 years. The county purchased K-9 officer Major who has been training with Dep.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091007/ap_on_...h_care_overhaul can someone explain how spending 8.29 billion per year will save 8.1 billion in deficit spending? "The measure would be paid for through a variety of tax increases and spending cuts, including savings of hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare, the federal health care program for seniors." It seems to bank on the fact that people requiring insurance over the next 10 years will decrease....

I had not heard the outcome - that is why I asked.

lack of support? I thought today was decision day on either moving forward or canceling it.

did the event get canceled?

wow - in my day 1600 was highest for SAT - some of those schools are really blowing that number away
