January 22nd, 2006 admin No comments

TWO paramedics have been suspended over claims they failed to attend a 911 call on time after arguing it was not their turn.

It is alleged the pair, who work at the Kempston station, argued with the controller who had sent them to attend a category A incident.

All calls made to Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Ambulance and Paramedic Service are graded A, B or C, with A being the most serious call-out.

Cop Discovers Internet

January 21st, 2006 admin No comments

LISBON – Parents need to be on their toes and keep their eyes on what children are viewing on the Internet. Salem Township Constable Dan Valentine issued a warning to parents in the county: Be familiar with what children are looking at on the Internet and limit what they are doing.

He said that a Web site called myspace.com was brought to his attention by some parents. After investigating myspace.com and a few others, he agrees this site and others are nothing but dangerous for children.

“Web sites themselves are not dangerous, but non-supervised ones, where children can post whatever they want, present serious and dangerous issues for kids,” Valentine said in a press release.

Myspace.com is a popular site for children to post online Web pages. There are no regulations or requirements for people wanting to post information so young people post what they want. Unfortunately, some of this includes personal information, family information and pictures. There are no parental controls for the Web site.

Sex Offender tries to attend High School

January 16th, 2006 admin No comments

Some at Stillwater, Minnesota Area High School had their doubts from the beginning. Joshua Gardner was able to get inside the school on multiple occasions — that is, until some student journalists uncovered his past. At first, his interest in the school didn’t seem terribly strange. He called himself a prospective student.

“He was pretty quiet,” sophomore Frank Carlson said. “But he seemed to talk with a little bit of an accent.” Caspian, as the visitor called himself, came to the school three times, according to a police report. “I ended up hearing he was a duke from England (who) was visiting America,” sophomore Reid Gilbertson said.
