You should all know by now that any time I have a problem <BR/>I speak my mind and do not need to hide behind a blog. I also don't need to ask permission before I speak or decide to run for office. Some people say that I run my mouth too much but I've been taught to speak my mind, especially when standing up for what I believe is right. I certainly am not going to cower down or kiss some ones ass. Especially if they have't earned it. At least everyone always knows my opinion on a subject. And yes I do change my mind if someone can show me a better way. Traits I learned from my father and which we both are criticized for.<BR/><BR/>No one can accuse me of being afraid to go against what's popular. Its more important to fight for what you believe in than simply going with the flow.<BR/>That's what you get with me, I speak for what ever I think is right. I don't have to suck any ones ass!<BR/>I'm me and I don't plan on changing. I stand behind what I say and am not afraid to speak my mind. I have yet to write a blog <BR/>but now is as good as any time to start. Considering all the trash talk that goes on around here I'm surprised its taken so long to throw us in. You all mock my father and Mr. Seeley but you sure kept your lids shut at the company meeting. Was that to convince Mr Seeley that everything is great at the CFC, or were you trying to keep something from him? Well, considering I've had my gear doused in diesel fuel, have officers who refuse to speak to me, have had hose lines shut down on me while inside of burning structures, had the feign hearted refuse to follow me into a burning building, or one of those who can only write a blog. I guess after all this that I can take a little jab here or there without crying. I recognize the absolute need for some to utilize a blog as it may be the only way they have the courage to speak out. Considering the demonstrated willingness of our current leaders to address anything unless forced to, its kind of comical in a sick way, but oh so sad. <BR/><BR/> So I might as well tell you how I feel about all of this. Lets see <BR/>where<BR/>should I begin. Sad to say it, but a lot of what is on this blog site is actually true, it doesn't mean I agree with it or like it being publicized. Its obvious that the blog site has generated more action than the CFC board has accomplished since its start up. It would have never reached this point but enough people had simply stood up and said enough is enough. In fact many of you have never said anything openly,. You simply bitch up a storm behind close doors. But lets face it, you haven't ever stood up so the crap continued to escalate. As I stated at the January meeting what harm has been done if we are simply being forced to do what we should have done in the first place. The CFC will only get better. Its the crap behind the scenes being orchestrated by a few who still think that Hose 1 is the only fire company in the world. Why shouldn't we have to follow the same rules as any one else?. This simpleton mentality has created all these problems. You claim that my family and I are nothing but die hard Hose 5 members to try and discredit us, but we fight on for the CFC. Even when our own officers and some of our Chiefs despise us. Volunteering for the community in a professional manner is more important than bowing down to your childish attacks. <BR/><BR/> Yes I I ran for a<BR/>lieutenants position this year against 1st LT. John Darling. I lost 23 to 14<BR/>in a fair election. I had previously spoken to 2ND Lt John Dees numerous times about running and wanted him to move up and run for the 1st Lt. position. We were both tired of the 1st Lt and Capt never showing up to calls and John was always complaining about doing all the work. I'm for anything that betters the CFC. John told me that all the line officers made a pack together that no one would run against anyone else and he was afraid of breaking it. John said he wouldn't run against Darling so I said fine and I put my name on the ballot for first LT. I didn't conspire or lead a campaign to simply oust him and I did not jump John Dees accept out of respect to the fact that he didn't want to run for a higher position. Its no different than 1st Asst Chief Prince not wanting to run for Chief. He had 25 years of service and experience as a Chief, Capt and Lt. yet he allowed an individual with with less than half the years experience to take over as Chief. Randy also jumped from a bogus district position to 2ND Asst Chief to Chief with out following the lines of progression. I don't remember anyone crying foul back then but Hose 1 members are always given an easier standard than everyone else.. Where was the childish mentality of the officers saying to him You should have asked permission to run? Give me a break, that's the kind of crap I was subjected to.! What else can I say. I ran against JD because I do not believe that he makes enough alarms. Primarily because of the fact that he lives in Palenville <BR/>which<BR/>is 2 fire districts away from Catskill. I feel that line officers should be leading the way from the fire house directing man power for the<BR/>first arriving trucks to be affective. How ever, I never said <BR/>that he<BR/>was a bad firefighter or line officer or anything bad about him <BR/>outside of<BR/>him not being able to make enough alarms to hold an office. If john <BR/>doesn't<BR/>like me because of that then it's his loss not mine, I've never did<BR/>anything to him. In fact he hasn't spoken three words to my entire family in some six to eight months. <BR/><BR/> To be honest I also feel that Neal Russell should<BR/>resign as captain because he doesn't have enough time to <BR/>properly<BR/>do his duties as captain. Not saying he's a bad officer but I don't <BR/>feel he<BR/>has enough time to dedicate to being captain at this time. I am also <BR/>upset<BR/>with the intimidation captain Russell tried to put on me when he got in <BR/>my<BR/>face for no reason at a recent board meeting. It took 3 to 4 people to <BR/>pull<BR/>him back when he attempted to assault me. This is not the way an <BR/>officer<BR/>should act when dealing with someone. Especially when I came forward to the Fire Company Board with a serious safety violation involving two probes who had run a stop sign and a red light with out any regard to fellow FFs or the public. I'm not referring to a controlled look all ways and proceed with caution drive through, but a I'm invincible and I can run straight through with out stopping carefree drive through. Four FF's saw this occur and three of us wrote supporting letters as requested by the board president. We reported it to the Chiefs etc. and followed every ones recommendations. Only to be attacked within the first minute by the Fire Chief followed by others. <BR/>This was an intentional vendetta led by the Chiefs and officers against the complainants. I was shocked that we were attacked for doing what was right, but this has been a consistent pattern around the fire house.<BR/><BR/> I also feel we have a <BR/>couple of members on the board of director's who are in it for the wrong reasons. I believe that<BR/>Harold is<BR/>doing a good job as president, and the same for John Dees. I am a <BR/>certainly<BR/>upset that john voted against me when he was the one always complaining that <BR/>he was<BR/>the only line officer who did anything around the firehouse. John sorry <BR/>if<BR/>you get mad at me for saying this, but you can't deny it. You said it to <BR/>me<BR/>and several others numerous different times.<BR/>Randy's not the worst chief but then again he's not the best either. I <BR/>don't even<BR/>dislike Randy as a person but I don't care for the way he treats many of us <BR/>who I feel do a lot around the firehouse. I definitely don't like the fact that<BR/>Randy sat at the bar in the firehouse and told a group of people that <BR/>he<BR/>wishes my fathers house burned down when he had a small electrical fire <BR/>in<BR/>the wall. That's a hell of a thing for the Chief of the Village of Catskill Fire Department to say. It can't <BR/>be<BR/>denied either, I was told by three different people who sat their and <BR/>heard<BR/>it. That's OK I won't hold it against you, you've hated my family for <BR/>years. I also don't respect the fact that you went to a fireman's funeral in Cairo and was bragging about when you become a paid Fire Chief your going to kick my family out of the department. Once again reliable sources from different departments informed about these conversations. Unbelievable but true, and yet we keep serving the tax payers because we understand the importance of doing our civic duty to volunteer and have no hidden agendas to form a paid fire department.<BR/><BR/>Chewens, he's not my favorite person but I don't hate him. Feel sorry that he is so infatuated with his Hose 1 and the fact that by all standards they lost the real competition. I do think <BR/>potato<BR/>head is funny, it makes me laugh. Kind of humorous in its own way.<BR/><BR/>The bar being closed down isn't that big of a deal I'm here to fight <BR/>fire's<BR/>not drink beer. Maybe the bar should only be open for special <BR/>occasions,<BR/>lets not deny the fact that we have had a lot of drinking related problems. The <BR/>3-11<BR/>issue, I think it's stupid, the truck belongs to the village and it <BR/>should<BR/>say Village of Catskill Fire Company on the side. The village has been ignoring <BR/>this<BR/>for years and enough is enough. The new rescue is a cool truck but I <BR/>feel<BR/>the company should decide the color, not the truck committee which I <BR/>agree<BR/>is made up of too many people that are related. E3-1 being posted for sale on the Web Site is being done simply because the Chief and Fire Commissioner want to punish Hose 5. You might have convinced the board that moving E3-1 was entirely to insure all apparatus gets off of the floor. But in all honesty it was to fulfill statements made by the fire commissioner and the chiefs that they would teach us a lesson by moving the truck up the hill. Go ahead and sell it, because I don't worship it. Just don't expect us to quit the fire house because of the childish games that are played. Selling it makes more sense than leaving the truck rotting away in the corner due to simple childish ignorance. You could never stop the East Side response so you attacked us the only way you could. Yes I also do support having <BR/>a<BR/>truck on the "east side". The whole reason 3-1 was moved was so we <BR/>could use<BR/>it more with more manpower on it. Funny because the truck never gets <BR/>used any more.<BR/>As far as more man power excuse, trucks a always rolling with two to three guys <BR/>even in a<BR/>ten man cab. How come the Chief never asks for the manpower status of anything from the West side? What's even funnier is that there are usually people<BR/>pulling up in the parking lot when the trucks pull out and leave them. So if your not<BR/>going to use 3-1 put it back on the east side and allow it to<BR/>respond<BR/>with 2 and three guys. <BR/>That brings out another item of interest. Its pretty sad when The Fire Chiefs, The Fire Commissioner and the Captain state at a Fire Company meeting that they are moving E 3-1 back to the East Side temporarily during the 9w construction because they are afraid that not doing so they will not get their rescue truck. BUT emphasizing that it could only be used for a confirmed structure and anyone responding to anything else would be suspended from the company. The Chief stated that it was strictly a move to pacify the tax payers until they get their rescue truck purchased.<BR/> .<BR/>Health problems, that's a touchy subject. I feel people should be <BR/>careful at<BR/>pointing fingers. There are several people with health problems and I <BR/>believe that they probably don't have medical clearance to be doing the things they <BR/>are. As far as a medical officer making the kinds of comments that he did were inappropriate and out of line. If someone has a possible condition that needs too be appropriately addressed then do your job and address it. Don't come out in a Blog and make accusations or threats and then state your the Medical officer. The high street fire was the first one I remember seeing you at in months if not longer. If you had a an issue with someone you should have addressed it then. Not a year later and in a blog as a veiled threat. You certainly never heard me tell anyone that you froze or hesitated in the door and was using the hose issue as a reason for not entering the structure fire. Hesitation can cost lives and yes I grab a nozzle when ever someone demonstrates timidness or slowness at attacking a fire. <BR/>I did speak up at the last monthly meeting with Mr <BR/>Seeley about issues that bothered me so there's nothing to hide. <BR/>Just<BR/>because I had balls to speak out in front of a lot of the people who <BR/>sat<BR/>there like scared little kids doesn't mean I turned you in to the state<BR/>agencies as some have accused. You should be more afraid of the people <BR/>who<BR/>act like your friend until you leave the room then talk shit about you. They are the ones that hate you not me. I also <BR/>feel<BR/>that people should make a certain number of alarms a year in order to <BR/>vote<BR/>or hold office or have any firematic say. Well now that I have sunk to <BR/>the<BR/>level of writing blogs you can feel free to attack, harass, intimidate, <BR/>and<BR/>slander me. These are my words like them or not. But remember one <BR/>thing,<BR/>just like when I wrote letters to the editor I will sign my name to it. <BR/>So<BR/>go ahead and do what ever you want to my truck or house, I have <BR/>insurance.<BR/>And if you think your going to run me off I have news for you, I'm here <BR/>for<BR/>life. By the way if you have any problems with me be a man and feel <BR/>free to<BR/>call me at home 943-0502.<BR/><BR/>Dissaponited with my brother firefighters behavior,<BR/><BR/>Joel ShanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1137372208687405232006-01-15T19:43:00.000-05:002006-01-15T19:43:00.000-05:00sounds like dolan to mesounds like dolan to meAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1137368128380188212006-01-15T18:35:00.000-05:002006-01-15T18:35:00.000-05:00This is what I have to say about the the health is...This is what I have to say about the the health issue.I need to take a healthy shanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1137301787780204162006-01-15T00:09:00.000-05:002006-01-15T00:09:00.000-05:00Information ProtectedAll medical records and other...Information Protected<BR/><BR/>All medical records and other individually identifiable health information used or disclosed by a covered entity in any form, whether electronically, on paper, or orally, are covered by the final rule.<BR/><BR/>With few exceptions, such as appropriate law enforcement needs, an individual's health information may only be used for health purposes.<BR/><BR/>Ensuring that health information is not used for non-health purposes- Health information covered by the rule generally may not be used for purposes not related to health care- such as disclosures to employers to make personnel decisions, or to financial institutions- without explicit authorization from the individual.<BR/><BR/>Federal criminal penalties- Under HIPAA, Congress also established criminal penalties for knowingly violating patient privacy.

CAT...News Flash!<BR/><BR/> We'll volunteer if we are paid.<BR/><BR/> CATSKILL - While still in the fact-finding stage, a committee appointed to look into creating an incentive program for volunteer firefighters hopes to provide an initial report to the Catskill Village Board in February.<BR/><BR/>Harold Rivenburgh, president of the Catskill Fire Co., said the committee he appointed plans to meet this month to discuss what it has learned so far, and determine the best direction to proceed. He said the committee is currently gathering information, has spoken to other departments with similar programs, and has also been in contact with the Firemen's Association of the State of New York.<BR/><BR/>"We're just in the fact finding right now," Rivenburgh said last week. <BR/><BR/>In October, the Village Board introduced the idea of creating an incentive program to help recruit and retain volunteer firefighters for the Catskill Fire Co. At the time, trustees provided a list of three possible incentives, which included a tax break for village residents, a college fund incentive and a retirement fund. The fire company's board of directors agreed to look into the program on behalf of the village. <BR/><BR/>"I think the pension program would work the best," Rivenburgh said. With the current makeup of volunteers in the department, he said, everyone would be able to use the pension incentive. Some volunteers live outside the village, so they would not be eligible for the tax break, and others do not have children who could use the college fund incentive. <BR/><BR/>Rivenburgh said it's best for the committee to focus on creating a program with one incentive to start and then look into adding others in the future. <BR/><BR/>When they introduced the idea of the program, trustees said they would like to have it in place by Jan. 1, 2007, and for the program not to be an added burden on taxpayers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1136168411733611132006-01-01T21:20:00.000-05:002006-01-01T21:20:00.000-05:00Boy if you were to see how dedicated these Hose 1 ...Boy if you were to see how dedicated these Hose 1 guys are now!

Drain the money and assets and it dies.

Since these corporations no longer engage in fire fighting activities they are being used contrary to the constructive trust that they are held in.<BR/><BR/>I will check to make sure each company has filed a report of assets and debts with the Greene County clerk by January 15th as required by section 1402 of the Not for profit corporation law. If you have not, I will report you to the state of new york. <BR/><BR/>If you don't liquidate your assets, I will also report that you are not active fire corporations to the Comptroller, the new york department of taxation and finance and the IRS. Ask your lawyer what the consequences are. <BR/><BR/>The taxpayers do care and if you don't end it we will. Someone suggested let these corporations have a dignified death. If you get reported the death will be anything but dignified.

The device is currently selling online as a home based business in Leeds, NY and we are hoping that our invention helps motorists across the country prevent auto accidents. <BR/> <BR/>Thank you for your time.<BR/> <BR/>Sincerely,<BR/> <BR/>Marlon Munoz<BR/> <BR/> <BR/>DEC 12, 2005 <BR/>For immediate release.<BR/> <BR/> <BR/>(openPR) - (Leeds, NY)- Driving will never be the same. <BR/>Leeds resident Marlon Munoz unveils The Co-Pilot. The Co-Pilot is a safe voice warning system that generates safety warning messages that will help drivers around the country prevent a car accident, regardless of the type of weather condition. The gadget contains over 50 safety related messages that can be played in sequence or at random in intervals of 2, 4 and 8 minutes or 4, 10, and 20 minutes. The messages come standard or can be customized to fit geographic locations or driver preferences. Another feature of the Co-Pilot is the lack of a on and off button.<BR/>When asked about this particular feature, Mr. Munoz explained that some people might want to turn the device of because it might be too annoying. But that's the point. We feel that in order for people to pay attention to their driving, they need constant reminder. Specially for newly trained drivers or elderly people that still enjoy driving but may need a reminder here and there. <BR/><BR/>Mr. Munoz sites a 2004 report that shows the state of New York having 1,493 traffic fatalities compared to 42,636 in the nation. He reiterates that people are not paying attention on the road. He states that distractions like the cell phones are part of the problem. He also points to a 2002 DOT report that found <BR/>"over a half a million drivers are holding cell phones at any given time." Just think, he says, that was in 2002, imagine what the number is today. <BR/><BR/>Mr. Munoz's web site www.SafeCoPilot.com offers some driving tips: <BR/><BR/>1) Always be aware of your surroundings when driving<BR/>2) Always drive defensively<BR/>3) Concentrate on the road, don't call and drive!<BR/>4) Be courteous<BR/>5) Always keep your distance regardless of the weather conditions<BR/><BR/>The Co-Pilot can be used by anyone that drives a vehicle. Parents, teens, grandparents, even commercial drivers and machine operators.<BR/><BR/>For more information contact Marlon Munoz or visit the web site www.SafeCoPilot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1136002695579833102005-12-30T23:18:00.000-05:002005-12-30T23:18:00.000-05:00DICK, I'M WAITING FOR YOUR NEXT DOCUMENT!

John M. BUTLER, of Ocean Grove, N.J., entered his one hundred and first year last Sunday. He was born at Tottenville, S.I., January 16, 1810, and grew up on the farm of his father, Thomas BUTLER, who was a sea captain and slave owner. Mr. BUTLER walks five miles every day, gets up at 7, goes to bed at 9, eats oysters heartily and has a good appetite. He drinks coffee three times a day, has an astonishing memory and has always been a lover of fast horses, owning several in his time. A short time ago he had a severe attack of cold in his bladder, and was given up to die by three doctors, when he cured himself by taking Warner's Safe Cure. Until a few months ago Mr. BUTLER made regular business trips to New York. He has an only son, John, who is now 78 years old.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1135970438239057132005-12-30T14:20:00.000-05:002005-12-30T14:20:00.000-05:00Way to go Harold, now if we can only get our Villa...Way to go Harold, now if we can only get our Village Board to stand up and recognize their are serious problems and not just accept a Blackcoats opinion simply because he CHAIRS the Fire Departent seat on the Village Board!

I do believe ...Wishing everyone a happy New Year .. I do believe that our Village of Catskill, and adjoining communities, will prosper in the year ahead. When I first arrived in the area, I remembered Catskill as a vital, 'down-home' retail destination (1984). Since then, we've had some rough years, but the energies of many are transforming our Village as a welcoming place to live and work. To my thinking, reconciliation and an openness to finding a common ground on a range of issues, including fire safety, will advance these positive changes.<BR/>Let's find a way to talk to each other.<BR/>Harold M.

I will leave the name of the writer out in order to protect him! This shows how upset the members are at all the hose one crap going on, and the direct disregard for firefighter safety!!!!<BR/><BR/>"Brothers,<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Just when I thought I have seen it all. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>It totally amazes me that people “THINK” that they are qualified to do a job. The sad part is that those people who “THINK” they are qualified have baffled others into “THINKING” the same. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>It cannot be stressed enough the importance of the people that are put in charge of firefighters be qualified to do such. It is utter negligence by any organization to install (vote in) anyone into a position who doesn’t have the credentials to fulfill the job. The village of Catskill Fire Department has such in place in the OPERATIONS – BOOK 1, SECTION 6.0. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>PESH / OSHA / NFPA, etc; are written in plan text and in ENGLISH. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Fire Department training instructors must receive a higher level of training and education than the Fire Dept. members they will be teaching. This includes being more knowledgeable about the functions to be performed by the Fire Dept. and the hazards involved. <BR/> <BR/><BR/>The Village of Catskill Fire Department Safety and Training Division MUST be proactive in it’s adherence to the required regulations set forth. We will be starting the mandatory 8 Hour OSHA (PESH) Safety Training early in January 2006. Your input and suggestions are always welcome and will be taken under consideration for the Safety and betterment of the members who diligently serve…"<BR/><BR/>viva the CFC!!!!!!Down with hose 1!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
