Billy Joel: “ALLENTOWN”

 

FEATURED VIDEO: “ALLENTOWN” by Billy Joel.

DEDICATED TO THE REPUBLICANS (WHO SOLD ALL OF OUR JOBS OVERSEAS SO THEIR CORPORATE PALS COULD MAKE EVEN BIGGER INSANE PROFITS)

KEEP VOTING FOR THEM!

 

JAN 27, 2012-taking a few days off from the blog. Anyway D told me he had audited some of the businesses in East Haven-SOME ARE NOT REGISTERED WITH THE STATE OF CT SO THEY PAY NO TAXES. NICE ONE! A LOT CLAIM A LANGUAGE BARRIER. OK!

HE ALSO SAID THE MAYOR OF EAST HAVEN IS REALLY A NICE GUY. I GUESS HE HAD CONTACT WITH HIM YEARS AGO WHEN HE TRIED TO COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT BUT WAS DEEMED INELIGIBLE. THIS WHOLE INCIDENT IS UNFORTUNATE- POLICE PROFILING AND HITTING PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE. GROW UP AND GET A LIFE. SOME PEOPLE SHOULD REALLY DO A DNA TEST. BOY WOULD THEY BE SURPRISED.

I DON’T SEE WHERE SOME OF THESE PEOPLE GET THEIR ATTITUDE. ITALY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A COUNTRY OF MIXED RACES. STILL IS. NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. I COULD BET IF SOME OF THESE “PEOPLE” WERE LYING ON THE STREET BLEEDING TO DEATH AND THE ONLY CHOICE BETWEEN LIFE OR DEATH WAS A BLOOD TRANSFUSION FROM A LATINO PERSON-BELIEVE ME-THEY WOULD NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT RACE OR LOOKS OR ANYTHING ELSE. THEY WOULD GLADLY TAKE THE TRANSFUSION.

IF YOU ARE ITALIAN-YOUR ANCESTORS SPOKE AND READ LATIN.

I JUST SPOKE WITH A LOCAL BUSINESS PERSON IN CHESHIRE CT WHO WAS SPEAKING ABOUT OWEN’S DELI CLOSING. THIS IS ALSO AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION.  WHEN I ASKED WHY HE THOUGHT THE BUSINESS WAS CLOSING, SOME LADY BUTTED IN A SAID “OH THE ECONOMY.”

I SAID “NO”-HAWAII 5-0″ THAT IS WHY. LIKE OR OR NOT-THIS TOWN HAS AN UNWELCOMING REPUTATION AND NOW THAT IS BACKFIRING.

THIS LOCAL BUSINESS PERSON TOLD ME HE SEES THE POLICE SIT IN A PARKING LOT ON RT. 10 ACROSS FROM HIS BUSINESS AND PULL CARS OVER ALL DAY LONG. IN FACT, HE SAID HE MENTIONED IT TO AN OFFICER WHEN THE OFFICER CAME IN TO FREQUENT THE BUSINESS. HE SAID HE TOLD THE OFFICER THEY PULL OVER AN LOT OF CARS. AND WHAT ARE THE RESULTS. OH, GO CHECK MY POST ON THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE MONTHLY REPORTS. THAT IS THE RESULT OF ALL OF THESE PULLOVERS.

KEEPIN IT REAL.

 

FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH: ARE ITALIANS “WHITE”?

THIS IS FOR THE COMMENTS ALLEGEDLY MADE BY THE MAYOR OF EAST HAVEN. BETTER DO SOME RESEARCH BUDDY. A FAMILY MEMBER THOUGHT THE SAME THING  SAYING “TOWEL HEAD” AND EVERYTHING. UNTIL HE RESEARCHED HIS LAST NAME (IZZO):

Italian: nickname from Sicilian izzu ‘slave’ or directly from Latin aegyptius ‘Egyptian’, or from the same word in the sense ‘dark-skinned’.

INTERESTING VIDEO BELOW ON THIS SUBJECT:

YOU MAY NOT AGREE-BUT THAT IS YOUR PRIVILEGE. AND I AM 100% ITALIAN.

FYI: The United States Census Bureau defines White people as those “having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who reported “White” or wrote in entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish.“[5] Like all official U.S. racial categories, “White” has a “Not Hispanic or Latino” and a “Hispanic or Latino” component,[5] the latter consisting mostly of White Mexican Americans and white Cuban Americans. The term “Caucasian” is often used interchangeably with “White”.

I AM PROVIDING A LINK TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE’S REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE USE OF “TAKE HOME” VEHICLES BY MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES (TAX WISE). D ASKS ME ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME AND WHETHER THE CHESHIRE CT MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE THE TAKE HOME VEHICLES ARE BEING TAXED. APPARENTLY, THEY ARE.

HOWEVER-THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THE TAX-THIS IS ALSO EXPLAINED.

REMEMBER D-IS   CONSIDERED A FEDERAL AGENT HIS POSITION IS FUNDED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT-REVENUE EXAMINER WITH THE CT DEPT OF LABOR. REMEMBER-WHEN D IS IN HIS OWN VEHICLE-HE CAN’T HAVE A STATE TAKE HOME CAR BECAUSE HE IS A FED AGENT-HE IS ON DUTY-ANY INTERFERENCE IS CONSIDERED “INTERFERING WITH A FEDERAL AGENT”-A FELONY.

OH BTW-WHEN IS THE CHESHIRE CT POOL OPENING? THAT BUBBLE IS JUST HANGING ON ONE SIDE-PROBABLY WILL END UP STRETCHING AND RIPPING.


THE INFORMATION YOU DESIRE REGARDING THE TAKE HOME VEHICLES CAN BE FOUND ON PAGE 8.

CLICK HERE FOR INFO.

 

OF INTEREST: REALLY SAD ABOUT EAST HAVEN PD. REMEMBER, THIS PROFILING HAPPENED IN TRUMBULL INVOLVING BPT RESIDENTS YEARS AGO. IT REALLY TORE THAT DEPT APART. THINGS ARE FINE NOW BUT WERE NOT FOR A LONG TIME.

THAT IS WHY I ASK FOR INFORMATION FROM THE AUTHORITY ALL THE TIME. IT IS TO PREVENT THINGS LIKE THIS FROM HAPPENING. A PARA MILITARY ORGANIZATION  HAS TO BE SCRUTINIZED EVERY DAY! THESE PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF POWER AND THEY MUST BE QUESTIONED. IT IS NOT PERSONAL-IT IS WHAT I WOULD DO ANYWHERE IN ANY OTHER TOWN IF I RESIDED THERE AND PAID TAXES. IT IS A RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITIZEN TO QUESTION THE GOV’T. THAT IS WHAT I WAS TAUGHT-I BELIEVE IN FROM MY HEART AND I DON’T CARE WHAT THE AUTHORITY TRIES TO DO TO SUBVERT IT-THEY WILL FAIL AND HAVE FAILED  BECAUSE I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES.

MY BELIEFS ARE SO STRONGLY ROOTED IN MY SOUL-THEY CANNOT AND WILL NOT EVER BE SUBVERTED.

A FEW YEARS AGO, IRAN THE TRAFFIC STOPS IN CHESHIRE CT-I RAN THE RACES THEY PULLED OVER. MOST WERE WHITE AND MOST WERE MEN. I DON’T EXPECT TO SEE RACIAL PROFILING IN CHESHIRE CT. DID THEY IN PAST? I DON’T KNOW-BUT I KNOW THEY DON’T NOW. AND WE ALSO DON’T USE OUR BADGE TO BULLY  OR INTIMIDATE PEOPLE DO WE,

ALSO: AS YOU KNOW-I REALLY DON’T LIKE THESE “COMMUTER” CARS BECAUSE THEY CAN BE MIS-USED. WHEN I WAS A REPORTER WITH THE NORWICH BULLETIN BACK IN THE STONE-AGE-WE DID NOT USE OUR OWN VEHICLES. WE HAD COMPANY CARS BUT WERE NOT ALLOWED TO “COMMUTE.”

TOO MANY TIMES I HAVE SEEN A FEW PEOPLE WITH THESE “COMMUTER” CARS USING THEM FOR PERSONAL ERRANDS-DUNKIN DONUTS-STOP AND SHOP. AND I AM SORRY, BUT DON’T TELL ME YOU ARE ON CALL 24-7. YOU ARE NOT GOING ON A CALL WITH YOUR KIDS IN THE CAR!

IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT TOWN OR CITY-ALL THESE “COMMUTER CARS” NEED TO GO. D DOES NOT HAVE  A “COMMUTER” CAR. HE HAS TO DRIVE HIS OWN VEHICLE ON FIELD AUDITS FOR THE STATE OF CT LABOR DEPT. SO I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO SYMPATHY FOR THESE “COMMUTER” CARS.

BREAKING NEWS: U.S. SUPREME COURT SAYS (POLICE) NEED WARRANT TO TRACK PEOPLE USING GPS–HOORAY!

Don’t stand with the flag in front of the Town Hall and then justify police misconduct or violations of our U.S. Constitution. I AM a U.S. Citizen ALSO remember-(THANKS DAD). THAT GOES FOR CELL PHONE TRACKING TOO.

“OH THIS WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT” TOO FUCKING BAD. SOME OF THESE “LAW ENFORCEMENT” PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER FOR YEARS.

LIKE THE LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSON FROM A CERTAIN TOWN (NOT CHESHIRE CT) BUT THE LOWER NEW HAVEN AREA-WHO WENT AND SHOT A BUNCH OF GEESE IN A RESERVOIR AND LEFT THE DEAD CARCASSES FOR PEOPLE TO FIND AND CLEAN UP. REAL GOOD. THIS MORON IS CARRYING A GUN.

OR THE ONE WHO WENT TO ANOTHER CERTAIN TOWN (NOT CHESHIRE CT) OPEN SPACE AND SHOT RABBITS ILLEGALLY AND GOT OFF BECAUSE A COP PROTECTS ANOTHER COP. I HAVE NAMES AND LICENSE PLATES (IF NEEDED).

YOU ENFORCE THE “LAW”–OBEY THE LAW YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ENFORCING FOR STARTERS. TRY IT. IT DOES FEEL GOOD TO SET AN EXAMPLE. WHY ARE YOU IN LAW ENFORCEMENT-TO GET AWAY WITH THINGS?

Click HERE for details.

I did go, as I stated previously, to the Cheshire CT Public Safety Commission meeting a few weeks ago. I asked about the Monthly Reports which are supposed to be appearing on the Cheshire CT Police Dept. website. Well, the last posting of these reports occurred in May 2011. It is now the end of January 2012!

I called around-this one said that one had it-the printer didn’t work-whatever. I finally received a call from the Cheshire CT Police Records Dept which does a miraculous job considering what they have to put up with (and I don’t mean me).

I usually get a narrative-but I did not receive one this time. Well, anyway-I will summarize it instead of scanning it in.

The highlights: THIS IS FOR DECEMBER 2011.

BURGLARY- (now remember I said there was at least one a month over the past year)-for December 2011 there were TWO. The same month last year  (2010), there were SIX.

(DID YOU KNOW THIS). NO-because the Press doesn’t print it or ask for this information. It is all motor vehicle because that is what they want you to see. Why don’t any of these people from the press print this?

So, with BURGLARY-this year to date  (2011) there have been 56. Last year to date there were 35 which translates into a 60% change from the previous year.

BURGLARY RESIDENTIAL – there was ONE this month (DECEMBER 2011) compared to TWO the same month last year. There have been 31 residential burglaries this year to date as compared with 18 last year resulting in an increase of 72.2%.

LARCENY – There have been 33 this month (DECEMBER 2011) compared to 20 last month. This year to date (2011) there have been 242 larcenies  compared with 209 last year (2010) to date resulting in a 15.8% increase.

EIGHT fradulent checks were written in December 2011 compared to ONE in December 2010. For 2011 there was a total of 96 fraudulent checks compared to 67 last year (2010) to date resulting in a 43.3% increase.

DWI- There were 8 arrests for December 2011 compared with 7 in December 2010 for a total of 80 this year (2011) to date compared with 98 for 2010 resulting in an 18.4% decrease.

MOVING MOTOR VEHICLE – for December 2011 there were 123 compared to 147 in December 2010  for a total of 1,295 this year (2011) to date compared with 1,704 last year (2010) to date.

MILES PATROLLED – This month (December 2011) – 28,062 compared with 24,593 for December 2010 for a total this year (2011) to date of 322,489 MILES PATROLLED. LAST YEAR  (2010) THERE WAS 326,386 MILES PATROLLED which is a 1.2% decrease.

IN OTHER NEWS-I notice the pool bubble in Cheshire CT is on the way up. Well, if they had the SPRUNG INSTANT STRUCTURE-IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UP IN A WEEK, MONTHS AGO! WHAT CAN I SAY-PENNY WISE AND POUND FOOLISH-EMPHASIS ON THE FOOLISH PART.

ALSO, YES GOOD NEWS-ANOTHER LIQUOR STORE HAS CLOSED. GOOD! THE LIQUOR STORE NEAR YET ANOTHER NAIL SALON IN  THAT UGLY GREEN BUILDING NEAR THE TOWN HALL THAT HAS NO PARKING-HAS CLOSED. I WONDER IF ANYONE REALIZES THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO BACK OUT INTO TRAFFIC?

CHECK IT OUT.

JANUARY 20, 2012: OK I am getting really tired of hearing all of these weather forecasters beat us to death over a few inches of snow. WEATHER ALERT-CANCEL EVERYTHING. OH GROW UP!

HELLO-IT IS JANUARY NOT JULY. WE SHOULD BE GETTING SNOW. WE LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST NOT FLORIDA. WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED?

NOW LET’S LOOK AND LISTEN TO THE WEATHER FORECAST FOR MONTREAL AS SEEN ON CTV.  NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE DEMEANOR. IT IS JUST MATTER OF FACT-IT IS WINTER-IT SNOWS.

REMEMBER-THE TEMPERATURES ARE IN CELSIUS. ALSO TEN CENTIMETERS IS FOUR INCHES.

MONTREAL WEATHER

 

I just read where a local woman was arrested in Cheshire CT for embezzling. You read more and more about these types of things nowadays- caregiver assaulting an elderly person-teacher having sex with a student-WHY? These businesses don’t do reference checks anymore-THEY DO CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS. FAIL!!

DID YOU SEE HER PHOTO IN THE PATCH? THIS WOMAN MUST BE BRAIN DEAD. YOU DID NOT THINK YOU WOULD GET CAUGHT? THIS PLAYED OUT BITCH WILL BE LUCKY IF SHE CAN GET A JOB CLEANING TOILET BOWLS. STUPID!! ESPECIALLY IN THIS ECONOMY. WHAT WAS SHE THINKING? I BET SHE DID NOT HAVE A CRIMINAL RECORD. SO WHAT? I AM TELLING THESE BUSINESSES BETTER START CALLING AND GETTING REFERENCES AND GETTING WORK HISTORIES AND WORK HABITS FROM PAST EMPLOYERS.

Remember, Al Capone did not have a criminal record-HE WAS EVENTUALLY ARRESTED FOR TAX EVASION BY THE IRS!  You see, it is too much trouble to call references or former employers. Maybe these people should start.

Also, I noticed in the Cheshire CT Herald that local resident’s accident report was published from Nov. 19, 2011. Funny, I did not see where the “Creating a Public Disturbance Charge” was. Well, what can I say, another lawsuit-Defamation of Character.  And don’t think for two seconds this person is giving up-the local resident said he will give up or settle when he is dead! This whole  accident issue is sketchy, so I will leave it at that.

I also read the Cheshire CT Town Council will be meeting on Tuesday, January 24. I wonder if they will make the decision on the who will be the next Town Historian. Should be an interesting night. WELL I AM READY TO MAKE A STATEMENT TO THE PRESS-ANY WHICH WAY. BELIEVE ME-THE OTHER WAY WON’T BE PRETTY ESPECIALLY WHEN I HEARD SOMEONE MAKE NOISES THE NIGHT I WAS DOING THE INTERVIEW. I HEAR REALLY WELL-FROM IN FRONT AND BEHIND!

MORE ON THAT LATER

A few years ago, I did a “list” of businesses that had closed in Cheshire CT over the past few years-there were quite a few. Now three more high profile businesses are closing: Brix-ToyZ-and Hallmark. Someone made a comment on another thread that there is no real gathering place for people here-nothing is centrally located-it is all the same sort of businesses-why don’t we have a wing place or good rib place-RED ROBIN-YUM!!

NO-WON’T HAPPEN-WHY? THESE PLACES WILL ATTRACT THE “WRONG” PEOPLE. DO YOU GET IT PEA BRAIN? GROW UP AND GET REAL. THIS IS CHESHIRE CT NOT MONTREAL. WE DON’T WELCOME PEOPLE HERE-WELL, CERTAIN PEOPLE. LOOK AT WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH MIXVILLE. A CERTAIN FEW PEOPLE “HAVE CLAIMED THIS TOWN AS THEIR OWN AND YOU ARE JUST A VISITOR OR GUEST. THEY MAKE ALL THE DECISIONS-NOT YOU. THEY DECIDE WHAT NEWS YOU WILL READ-WHAT TYPE OF RESTAURANTS YOU WILL EAT AT-AND WHAT TYPE OF RETAIL BUSINESSES YOU MAY FREQUENT. GET IT NOW?

AND AS I HAVE STATED TIME AND TIME AGAIN-HAWAII 5-0 HAS RUINED IT FOR THIS TOWN AND I DON’T CARE IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. THEY HAVE AN ARROGANT BAD ATTITUDE FOSTERED BY THE LOCAL PRESS AND THE FEW PEOPLE WHO CONTROL THIS TOWN. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO COME TO CHESHIRE CT AND GET HARASSED FOR GARBAGE MOTOR VEHICLE VIOLATIONS. PUTS A REAL DAMPER ON VISITING THIS TOWN. THIS TOWN HAS BECOME A CUT THROUGH FOR PEOPLE COMING AND GOING TO WORK. NOTHING MORE. THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THIS TOWN-ARE CALLED “TOWNIES.” THAT IS THE ATTITUDE HERE. “OUR TOWN IS OURS AND NOT YOURS-YOU DON’T BELONG HERE-YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE YOU WEREN’T “BORN” HERE. I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU-YOU WEREN’T “BORN” HERE EITHER UNLESS YOU HAD A HOME BIRTH!

CHESHIRE IS NOT YOUR LAND. YOU DID NOT ENTER THE EARTH IN CHESHIRE CT-IT PROBABLY WAS ONE OF THE  HOSPITALS IN ONE OF THE TOWNS YOU CAN’T STAND-MERIDEN OR WATERBURY OR GOD FORBID NEW HAVEN. PHONY. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE BORN IN THE TOWN YOU ARE FROM-I DO!!

YOU HAVE RUINED THIS TOWN-HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY. (THERE IS STILL HOPE- BUT WE WILL FIND OUT IN A FEW WEEKS WHETHER CHESHIRE IS A LOST CAUSE OR NOT) AND YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. DO THEY HAVE THE BALLS?

STAY TUNED.

Finally, I did want to leave you with a video we did when we were in Montreal recently-of the Montreal Metro system STCUM-which models itself after the Paris Metro-it runs on rubber wheels. I hope you take notice of HOW NICE AND CLEAN THE STATIONS ARE.

Also, Montreal, city of over four million people-over 500,000 are college age students and the rest are mostly under 35 years of age, had a murder rate of 30 in 2011. Most of these murders are domestics -where the people know each other. Very little victim on victim crimes-but they do have a problem with car thefts. Montreal Police are fairly inconspicuous-UNTIL YOU HARM SOMEONE. THEN FORGET IT BUDDY!! I openly see people smoking pot, drinking-the police basically look the other way. DON’T HARM SOMEONE-THEN THEY COME DOWN HARD.

ALSO DO NOT PARK IN A NO PARKING ZONE-IMMEDIATE FINE AND TOWING. BTW THE COURT IS IN FRENCH ONLY.

 

 

 

 

More Municipal Gas Usage

  • By: Cindy

As promised, although a few days late, here is the information for the municipal gas usage at the Public Works gas pumps for December 2011. The post below has the gas usage for the Police Dept. pumps for December 2011.

 

Municipal Gas Usage

  • By: Cindy

JANUARY 13, 2012-I DID ATTEND THE “TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT HISTORIAN” INTERVIEW. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE TOWN HALL. THIS WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THE RECORDING SECRETARY FOR THE TOWN COUNCIL WAS IN ATTENDANCE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS GOOD.

VERY FEW THINGS THAT TRANSPIRE IN A MUNICIPALITY SHOULD BE HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC I BELIEVE.

WHEN I ENTERED AROUND 8:20 p.m., I SAW THE TOWN MANAGER AND THE PERSONNEL DIRECTOR IN THE HALLWAY. THE TOWN MANAGER LOOKED WORRIED LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES. HE NEEDS TO CALM DOWN AND RELAX. IT IS WHAT IT IS. WHAT GOES ON IN TOWN IS A REFLECTION OF LIFE AND DOESN’T NECESSARILY REFLECT ON HIS ABILITIES. MICHAEL MILONE IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BETTER TOWN MANAGERS I HAVE KNOWN AND I HAVE KNOWN QUITE A FEW. THE TOWN MANAGERS IN BERLIN  AND WINDSOR ARE GOOD ALSO.

SO I WENT INTO THE INTERVIEW. THREE TOWN COUNCIL MEMBERS-TOM RUOCCO, SYLVIA NICHOLS AND PETER TALBOT WERE SITTING AT THE TABLE. THEY MADE ME FEEL WELCOME AND COMFORTABLE. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD SIX QUESTIONS (I ANSWERED ALL SIX AT ONCE I THINK). I WAS PREPARED-I DID GO OVER POSSIBLE QUESTIONS A FEW DAYS BEFORE.

I FOUND THE INTERVIEW TO BE QUITE GOOD. IT LASTED ABOUT 15 MINUTES. WELL, THAT IS ALL I WILL SAY. I WANT EVERYONE WHO APPLIED TO HAVE AN EQUAL CHANCE. OF COURSE, I HOPE I GET THE POSITION-WE WILL SEE. BUT, YOU CAN’T KILL A GIRL FOR TRYING AND AT LEAST I TAKE THE BALL AND RUN WITH IT-THEY CAN’T FAULT ME FOR THAT. I PUT MY MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH IS.

I WILL GET TO THE OTHER MUNICIPAL GAS USAGE. I HAVE A WACKY SCHEDULE. I GET UP AT 4 a.m. EVERY MORNING AND START MY DAY ASSISTING AN ELDERLY LADY IN CHESHIRE CT. SHE IS SO SWEET AND KIND. I ENJOY DOING THIS TYPE OF WORK. I HAVE ALWAYS DONE THIS-WORKING WITH ELDERLY AND DISABLED. NO MATTER HOW MANY JOBS I HAVE HAD AND HOW GOOD THEY PAID, I ALWAYS FOUND TIME TO DO THIS. THE PAYS SUCKS BUT IT IS REWARDING. MY DAY DOESN’T END UNTIL 10 or 11 p.m. SO I AM ALWAYS TIRED. BUT THAT IS HOW IT IS-I AM SURE YOU ARE TIRED ALSO FROM YOUR WORK.

MORE LATER.

Also, I did attend the Cheshire CT Public Safety Commission meeting on Wednesday January 11 in Town Hall. They were very welcoming which has not been the case in the past. I think I make them nervous but whatever-I do what I do. There were some interesting topics discussed-especially the Police Monthly Reports which I do not see updated on the Police website anymore. I wanted to hear the questions the commission asked. They did ask a few so that was good. I did find out there were 52 burglaries in Cheshire CT last year and that drunk driving arrests were down something like 18 percent.

Also, that new police/fire department computer communication system that was approved by the Town Council last year is scheduled to go on line in March 2012.

There was a small discussion about this situation in Prospect with Senor Pancho’s Restaurant-especially at night. If you have ever traveled at night on RT. 68 from Prospect CT into Cheshire CT you may have noticed some of the lighting they have in their parking lot blinds you as you approach the restaurant. I noticed it a few years ago, but because I have not been driving RT 68  again until a few weeks ago, I had forgotten about it.

Apparently, the Cheshire CT PD is going to try to get in touch with Prospect to see if they can improve this situation which is really annoying.

The CPD spokesperson did discuss this task force arrest of several people for breaking into cars at the Lock Park, and different parking lots throughout Cheshire and other places. Apparently, the break-ins occurred on Saturdays at 9 a.m. That is weird because I though the press release the CPD put out said the break-ins were occurring weekdays from 9 a.m. to noon.  Whatever.

I enjoyed going to the meetings and will attend again.

I WILL POST THE REST OF THE MUNICIPAL GAS USAGE ON FRIDAY.

OH AUNTIE CHESHIRE-I AM NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE!

As I stated previously, I did receive the Municipal Gas Usage for the Cheshire CT Police and Cheshire CT Dept of Public Works-how many gallons were used at their pumps and price paid. I received several documents, so I will begin with the Cheshire Police Dept (CT), their usage and the other departments that used gasoline from their gas pump.

ALRIGHT-THIS IS ALL I HAVE ROOM FOR RIGHT NOW. I WILL RUN THE REST OF THE DOCUMENTS IN ANOTHER POST ON THURSDAY. CLICK TO ENLARGE THE DOCUMENTS. THERE IS A GAP BETWEEN DOCUMENTS-I CAN’T HELP IT-SO SCROLL DOWN.

I did want to include part of the e-mail sent to me by Jim Jaskot Finance Director regarding this gas usage.

Cynthia,

I have attached the Town of Cheshire’s December 2011 gas invoices and accompanying departmental allocation sheets, one for the Public Works pumps and one for the Police pumps.  The Fire Department has pumps for super unleaded, but is for their use only and there are no allocation sheets for them.  The allocation sheets for Public Works and Police show the invoiced expenditures being allocated to the various departments based on their usage (in gallons) for the month.

Cynthia,

You asked about Chesprocott.  They use Town of Cheshire gasoline since their office is located here in Town.  We bill them for their usage so there is no cost to the Town.

I have requested the breakdown of December gasoline usage for employees using Town vehicles for commuting.  I will forward this as soon as I can.  The Town has 7 individuals that commute with Town vehicles and get taxed for this benefit as part of their compensation.  I am also checking with the Police and Fire chief who do not get taxed as there are special rules for public safety vehicles on 24 hour call, as long as the vehicles are clearly marked.

OOPS (WE) DID IT AGAIN

  • By: Cindy

JANUARY 11, 2012-I DID RECEIVE THE MUNICIPAL GAS USAGE FOR CHESHIRE CT FOR DECEMBER. THEY SAID IT WAS TOO COMPLICATED FOR ME TO GET JUNE 2011 THROUGH DECEMBER 2011 SO BE IT. I KNOW THE POLICE DEPT USED ALMOST $5,000 WORTH OF GAS DURING DECEMBER 2011. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THIS IS THE NORM BECAUSE THAT IS A LOT OF GAS USAGE.  THE PUBLIC WORKS ALSO USED OVER $5,000 WORTH OF GAS IN DECEMBER 2011 BUT THEY WERE DOING THAT BRUSH PICKUP SO THAT PROBABLY EXPLAINS IT.

I DO HAVE THE COST OF THE GAS WHICH IS AT A LOWER RATE THAN YOU AND I WOULD PURCHASE IT FOR. I AM ALSO TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH GAS THOSE TAKE-HOME CARS USED. I WILL UPLOAD THE DOCUMENTS LATER ON WEDNESDAY. SO STAY TUNED.

ALSO-IF THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT HAD PUT UP THE SPRUNG INSTANT STRUCTURE THAT I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED ON THIS BLOG TIME AND TIME AGAIN, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE LOST THREE MONTHS WORTH OF REVENUE. SPRUNG INSTANT STRUCTURES IS OUT OF ALBERTA CANADA AND IS SNOW AND WIND LOAD TESTED. WELL AS THEY SAY IN FRENCH-C’EST DOMMAGE!

 

JANUARY 9, 2011- I did request the  Cheshire CT municipal gas usage log from June to December 2011. You know this issue really burns me because D who is a Revenue Examiner for the CT DEPT of LABOR and does FIELD AUDITS, HAS TO USE HIS OWN VEHICLE!! NO TAKE HOME CAR NO STATE CAR AT ALL FOR THAT MATTER.

POINT OF INTEREST-TAKING YOUR TOWN VEHICLE TO DUNKIN DONUTS OR STOP AND SHOP OR HOME FOR LUNCH-WHICH IS CONSIDERED PERSONAL USE-IS CONSIDERED TO BE TAXABLE BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. WELL MAYBE THE REVENUE EXAMINER SHOULD START EXAMINING. THEN AGAIN, IT HAS BEEN QUIET FOR QUITE SOME TIME. A GOOD DEFENSE IS THE BEST OFFENSE I ALWAYS SAY.

DON’T TELL ANYONE “YOU ARE ON CALL” THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE THE TAKE HOME CAR. YOU ARE NOT ON CALL WITH YOUR KIDS IN THE CAR-YOU WOULD NOT TAKE THEM ON A POLICE OR FIRE CALL BELIEVE ME. THIS WHOLE ISSUE WITH TAKE HOME CARS AND FREE GAS FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE HAS GOT TO STOP. IT JUST SENDS THE WRONG MESSAGE. ALL ARE EQUAL. NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. IF YOU JUST WENT TO WORK IN CERTAIN FIELDS TO GET “PERKS” AND ARE REALLY NOT DEDICATED BECAUSE IT WAS A CALLING FOR YOU TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE-THAT IS REALLY SAD AND DISTURBING.

MORE LATER.

JANUARY 8, 2012-OK-WELL IT IS 8 p.m. ON SUNDAY JANUARY 8 2012 AND I AM ABOUT TO KILL MY DAUGHTER-SOMETIMES I WONDER.

MY DAUGHTER STARTS TELLING ME HER NEW GARMIN 1490 LMT WHICH I PURCHASED FOR HER FROM QVC FOR CHRISTMAS DID NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL GARMINS AND NO PROBLEMS. I DID HAVE A FEW ISSUES WITH UPDATING BUT I GOT IT RESOLVED. THE UNIT ALWAYS WORKED-WHEN YOU USE IT OUTDOORS!!!!!!!

MY DAUGHTER APPARENTLY TRIED THE UNIT OUT INSIDE THE HOUSE WHICH I DID NOT REALIZE. FYI: IN ORDER FOR A GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM) TO WORK-IT MUST RECEIVE SIGNALS FROM AT LEAST THREE SATELLITES. YOU MUST BE OUTDOORS WHEN YOU TRY THE SYSTEM OUT. YOU CANNOT RECEIVE A SATELLITE SIGNAL FROM INSIDE A BUILDING. CASE IN POINT-DO YOU HAVE DIRECT TV OR DISH NETWORK? THIS IS WHY YOUR DISH IS UP ON THE ROOF (OUTDOORS).  UGH!

 

I AM GOING FOR THAT INTERVIEW FOR THE TOWN HISTORIAN IN CHESHIRE CT THIS THURSDAY AT 8:30 p.m. IN THE TOWN HALL. WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES.

 

JANUARY 6, 2012-I wanted to run this video to remind everyone (like you forgot), what was happening this time last winter. This is from WTNH last January-Cheshire receives 30 inches of snow. I understand this Saturday, January 7, it will be something like 55 degrees. What a difference a year makes. No snow anywhere and believe it or not-some people in the news media ARE COMPLAINING!

WHERE IS THE SNOW YOU ASK?

WHO CARES!

OH, SEE IF YOU NOTICE WHAT I DID ABOUT SOMETHING TOWARDS THE END OF THIS VIDEO.REMEMBER, THE SPEED LIMIT ON THIS SIDE ROAD IN CHESHIRE CT IS 25 MPH.

UPDATE: K-STATE LOST TO ARKANSAS 29-16. WASN’T A BLOWOUT BUT A COSTLY FUMBLE BY K-STATE QUARTERBACK COLLIN KLEIN DIDN’T HELP. OH WELL-IN TWO YEARS KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY WILL BE ONE OF THE TOP 50 RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. THERE ARE OVER 2,500 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN THE U.S.

 

OK, I found out the Waterbury CT Republican-American newspaper had run an article on Wednesday, January 4, 2012 about the local resident’s lawsuit against  the Cheshire CT Police Dept. I went to the Cheshire CT library and guess what? THAT EDITION WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!

Do you remember a few months ago there was an article about the police in the Meriden CT Record Journal. I spoke about this same situation on the blog then. I went to try to read the article in the library only to find the LOCAL news insert where the article appeared TO BE MISSING!

A SCANDALOUS PATTERN?

Well, I went to WATERBURY AND GOT THE JANUARY 4, 2012 edition of the paper and lo and behold the article about the local resident’s lawsuit was in there under Section B (Local News). But this time, the attorney representing the Town of Cheshire CT rebutted some of the accusations.

I read further and the article went on to say something to the effect that this was not the local resident’s first brush with the Cheshire CT Police Dept. since  the death of his mother in 2009.  The article said he was arrested on Nov. 19 at 1074 S. Main Street for creating a public disturbance.

OH REALLY?

I CONTACTED THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE RECORDS DEPT. THEY TOLD ME INITIALLY THE CASE WAS NOT DISPOSED OF YET AND COULD NOT RELEASE INFORMATION. I WENT HOME TO DISCOVER A VOICE MAIL ON MY ANSWERING MACHINE STATING THAT THE PUBLIC DISTURBANCE CHARGE WAS AN ERROR!!

I called back the Records Dept. They said that charge was from 2009. I said no, the article states it was Nov. 19, in fairness, the article doesn’t state the year. But, if you remember, the “accident” the local resident had occurred on NOVEMBER 19 2011 at 1074 S. Main Street and the local resident was given a ticket for “FAILURE TO YIELD TO A PEDESTRIAN.”

HERE IT IS ON CT JUDICIAL BRANCH.

I KNOW I HAVE THE ACCIDENT REPORT. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE OFFICER GIVING THE LOCAL RESIDENT THE TICKET AND CLEARLY STATING IT WAS FOR FAILURE TO YIELD TO A PEDESTRIAN.

IF THE CHARGE WAS INCORRECTLY PUT IN ON THE POLICE ARREST LOG-WOULDN’T IT HAVE SHOWN UP “INCORRECTLY” ON THE JUDICIAL BRANCH WEBSITE? I MONITOR IT AND DID NOT EVER SEE “PUBLIC DISTURBANCE.”

THE REPORTER DID NOT MAKE A MISTAKE. SHE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE PUT THE YEAR IN-BUT THE REPORTER GETS INFORMATION FROM THE POLICE DEPT ARREST LOG. PUTTING IN THE “WRONG CHARGE” IS NOT THE REPORTER’S FAULT. CAN YOU IMAGINE? BEYOND UNBELIEVABLE!

BESIDES, CREATING A PUBLIC DISTURBANCE IS AN INFRACTION. IT WOULD NOT TAKE FROM 2009 to 2012 TO RESOLVE IT. SO WE KNOW FROM THE STATEMENT MADE TO ME BY THE POLICE THAT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A RECENT EVENT (LIKE WITHIN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS IF IT WERE NOT RESOLVED YET-NOT NEARLY THREE YEARS). MAKE SENSE??

BESIDES, I NEVER SAW THAT PUBLIC DISTURBANCE CHARGE MISTAKE OR NOT, OR EVEN THE ACCIDENT ON NOV. 19 2011 LISTED IN ANY OF THE MEDIA AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT ALLEGEDLY HITTING A PEDESTRIAN WOULD BE FAIRLY BIG NEWS, ESPECIALLY IN A TOWN THE SIZE OF CHESHIRE CT.

WHAT IS GOING ON? I KNOW THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE RECORDS DEPT IS VERY THOROUGH. I HAVE DEALT WITH THEM MANY TIMES AND THEY ARE PROFESSIONAL AND ACCURATE. THEY DON’T WRITE THE REPORTS AND COME UP WITH THE CHARGES-THE POLICE DO. THIS DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL-THINK ABOUT IT. THE ARTICLE (WITH THAT “CREATING A PUBLIC DISTURBANCE)  MAKES IT LOOK AS IF THE LOCAL RESIDENT IS A TROUBLEMAKER AND HE IS JUST BEING VINDICTIVE BY SUING. I NEVER SAW THIS CHARGE IN THE ACCIDENT REPORT-I HAVE THE REPORT AND THE VIDEO OF THE ISSUANCE OF THE INFRACTION FOR FAILURE TO YIELD TO A PEDESTRIAN. THAT CHARGE IS ON THE ACCIDENT REPORT-WHERE DID CREATING A PUBLIC DISTURBANCE COME FROM?

NO ONE CHECKED THE REPORT BEFORE IT WENT OUT?  THAT IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

EXAMPLE: YOU GET TICKETED FOR JAYWALKING AND IT IS LOGGED IN AS “PROSTITUTION” OH IT WAS MISTAKE? THAT IS SOMEONE’S REPUTATION ON THE LINE-IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW MINOR OR WHAT YEAR IT OCCURRED IN, A MISTAKE IS A MISTAKE. WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN???

“OH I OVERREACT AND FIXATE ON THE POLICE” I WAS TOLD-GOOD THING!! LOOK AT WHAT IS GOING ON? NOW HOW CAN ANYTHING THEY WRITE BE CREDIBLE? GETTING A CHARGE WRONG AND THE PUBLIC SEEING IT? YOU’D BE BEYOND FURIOUS AND SUING FOR DEFAMATION AND YOU KNOW IT.  THIS IS WHY I CARRY A VIDEO CAMERA WHEN I DRIVE THROUGH CHESHIRE CT. YOU SHOULD ALSO.

GOD ALMIGHTY!

LIKE THIS INTERVIEW FOR THE TOWN HISTORIAN-YOU DON’T CHECK THE CALENDAR? COME ON. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE?  LOOK, YOU KNOW ME-I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY THROW AT ME, I OVERCOME IT. WHEN I GET SOMETHING IN MY MIND-I DRIVE UNTIL IT IS COMPLETED. I DON’T CARE IF THAT INTERVIEW WAS IN A MINE FIELD IN AFGHANISTAN. I WOULD BE THERE!
