OSWEGO FIRE DEPARTMENT PLAYING GAMES AGAIN!!!!!!!!

[user7777]

MAKE SURE YOU READ THE OSWEGO PALL TIMES TODAY, FRONT PAGE. THE OFD DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO KEEP THEIR FACES CLEAN!
MAYBE SOME OF THEM NEED TO BE FIRED!!!!!!!!

[outraged]

I just read the article. I can not believe what these "adults" did? They need to be let go. Unacceptable actions. Its out of hand and city officials better now be looking hard at this and suspend the Chief at a minimum.

[aguest]

This was on-line at the Pall-Times and I feel the same way.


What embarrassment! Not to a local alderman but the behavior of Oswego City Firemen. A total lack of professionalism points to serious problems within the department. These are the leaders of the department? God help us! I call for an immediate resignation of the two mentioned in the Pall-Times today and their inappropriate behavior in the handling of the 911 emailed distress call. I hope to see the Mayor step up and take this necessary disciplinary action.

Just a little something for your information.

I have to be honest. (I have no reason not to be). I am a reader of the three BBs, Oswego Chats, LION, and IO (Inside Oswego). I am a shut in, physically challenged.

As a rule, Oswego Chats is pretty well balanced with minimal use of gutter language. For the most part, the LION is preytty clean mouthed. Once in a while, barracks language is used, but not as a rule.

As for Inside Oswego (IO), forget it. It appears to me that a certain group of low life scum try their best to outdo each other with potty mouth language. Cute, real cute. I learned, years ago, that people who aren't sure of themselves resort to cursing and off color language to emphasize what they are trying to say. That's IO in a nutshell.

For some time now, the IO has had no substance. The majority of the posts are from a few snivelers who continually whine and cry in their beer because one or two city councilors continue to upset their applecarts and expose them for what they are and what they try to do. The latest sob story is to snivel about the mayor for not censoring the actions of those who expose the bottomfeeders.

If only they would get some new material to whine about. It's the same old baloney, day in, day out. Same old same old. On and on and on. Yackety yack, yackety yack. Sniff, sniff. Sob, sob.

Two days ago, I sent in a post to IO asking if anyone knew anything about the hearing on the Oswego Fire Department. I mentioned that I wondered if this would get stonewalled and put on the back burner until after local elections.

Guess what? The letter was never printed. I can't imagine why. Anyone have any thoughts about this?

[user7777]

I think you are talking about the audit. No it shouldn't, I think it has already started or will soon. I can't wait until they see the latest things that have come out on the OFD!!
Yeah IO, the no IQ, has the same whiners, most probably don't even know what is going on in the real world, as their world is IO, sad isn't it!
To think they would exalt the OFD like they do is a shame, especially after the were slamming them for many,many months.
Sue Sweet's husband is a retired OFD member. I wonder if he is in on it, he's as ignorant as she is.
Ask her co-workers at work, she's a back stabber and they know some of what she thinks are secrets!!

[notme]

Your life must be this site as you do a lot of complaining about the same things that are on IO.
What makes you any different than the people who post on IO?
You whine just as much as the IO posters.
The only difference between you and the posters on IO is what or who you complain about. You complain about the same thing over and over, every chance you get.
Also the no IQ remark coming from you is a joke. I tend to think your IQ isn't all that high if its even measurable.
GROW UP

[aguest]

I have yet to see one of my posts there. I think its because I ask the posters to act more responsibly with there posts. I must be wasting my time but there is always hope.

I bet mine is higher than yours, but I would like you to know that I don't judge others by their lack of brain cells or disabilities. Go have another beer. ;D

[notme]

From what I've read from you, taking your bet that you have a higher IQ would be like taking candy from a retarded baby.
FYI I don't drink, so why don't you take a flying leap.
You just can't admit you bitch and complain as much as anyone else.
Get over yourself, and grow up moron.

[YOURNUTS]

NOTME
GO BACK TO THOSE LOW LIFES ON IO,I KNOW THAT TRUTH DOESN'T REALLY WANT ASSHOLES LIKE YOU OVER HERE.

[notme]

I was here long before you, and until I'm banned I think I'll hang around for a while longer.
why don't you crawl back under your rock until you think of something intelligent to write, and take usedup7777 with you.

[YOURNUTS]

YOU MUST BE BERR ;D OR ::)WHATS HER NAME,OUCH?

[notme]

Still haven't found anything intelligent to write yet?
Have you always been a moron or are you making a special attempt at it today? I'm thinking you've always been one.
Time to up your medication sparky.

[The Silver Fox]

I hate to tell you, but the Oswego Chats is starting to get just like the trash that's on IO.

Someone mentioned the other day that IO has no substance at all. They are not satisfied staying in their own gutter, now they're starting to bring their brand of BS over to the Chats.

Their game plan might be to start controversy here like they snivel and sob about anything and everything over at their own sewer.

Those losers thrive on attention. I say ignore them and maybe, hopefully they will realize how stupid they sound and go away. Totally ignore the idiots. Don't lower yourself down to their level.

[Buzzy]

Yeah thats what I say. Dont pay no attention to Not Me. Hes just another loser.

[notme]

You can't admit to yourselves that there is just as much complaining on here as there is on the other sites.
You think your complaints have MORE SUBSTANCE. The posts on here are no different than on IO or the Lion.
Making references to IO about the posters on there to make yourselves feel like you're better shows you are no different than them.
Get over yourselves, you are no better than the other people who post on IO, and you whine just as much if not more.
You folks just can't deal with it when someone does not follow along with your illusions.
useless7777 gets offended when someone disagrees with her and then resorts to the No IQ remark, just like the lion does and just like IO does. NO DIFFERENCE.
FYI I was not the one who started with the name calling, so get your facts straight.

[innocent bystander]

Hi, I haven't been around the PC too much lately but holy moly it has been busy here. ;D

Let's tone down the name calling please. I don't mind the bickering too much, but it is starting to get childish. I will lock the thread and delete posts if it gets too ugly. Lets get back on track.

For the record, I'm a guy.

911 LEAK PROBE: SECRET PROCESS WRAPPED IN SILENCE

By COLIN KENNEDY, Staff Writer, Pall Times 7/21/07

The investigation into the leaked 911 call made by City Councilor Ed Harrington on July 1 remains clouded under a veil of secrecy with city officials continuing to be tight-lipped.

And despite possible legal ramifications stemming from the incident for Oswego City Fire Chief Ed Geers and Tom Amedio, spokesman for the firefighters union, the investigation continues to be spearheaded by Personnel Director Nancy Sterio.

It is unknown whether or not the police department is assisting with the investigation. Calls made to the department were directed back to Sterio’s office, without any additional comment.

Even Harrington, D-3rd Ward, has been left in the dark as to the progress of the investigation. “I don’t know where they’re going with it to be honest,” he said. “I asked one question last Friday and was told it can’t be discussed until it’s over with.”

When asked where the investigation stands and if city police are involved in any capacity, Sterio said: “I can’t comment on what the police are doing. I don’t know what they’re doing.”

Similarly, City Attorney Gay Williams was silent on the issue, saying only, “I’m not willing to comment on it.”

Mayor Randy Bateman echoed similar sentiments, saying that no information will be provided until the investigation is complete. “I tell (Sterio) I don’t want to know anything until all the facts are in,” he said, noting that Sterio has told him that she “keeps uncovering more stuff.”

“I don’t care how long it takes,” said Bateman. “I just want a thorough job.”

Most city councilors had little to add or were unavailable for comment. City Councilor Dick Atkins, D-7th Ward, however, said the investigation is “definitely warranted. ... If these two individuals did what I see in this e-mail I have, they should be disciplined up to being discharged.” He later addressed a rumor that the hard drive on Geers’ work computer had been removed for examination, but said, “That’s all conjecture.”

As for Harrington, he said he recently talked to the attorney general’s office in Albany and Syracuse and is preparing a letter for the attorney general in Syracuse to notify him of what’s been happening. “This is a serious matter,” he said. “If it’s illegal to release information and the law says you can’t do it and you do it, you’ve broken some sort of law. ... If someone has done something illegal they should be fired immediately.”

An audio recording of Harrington calling 911 to report a fire in a lot at 114 W. Second St. behind his house was circulated among city officials and members of the media after it was sent to Amedio by Geers. In it, an agitated Harrington becomes fed up with the 911 dispatcher who attempts to ask him questions about the fire. While waiting for fire officials to arrive, Harrington had the wherewithal to extinguish the small fire with a garden hose.

Laws on 911 calls seem to indicate that it was legal for Michael Allen, the county’s top 911 official, to send the recording to an emergency official such as Geers. However, it is unknown whether it was legal for Geers to send it to Amedio, or for Amedio to send it to media outlets.
