365
You have to love this one. No, really, even the mainstream is covering this story.
An alert went out in EMS and Fire that response times for different parts of the EMS and Fire territories would be delayed. In fact, really delayed. Like to the tune of 25 to 30 minutes on the north side of IH 10 and throughout the Highway 365 area. Why?
Well, it seems that in their wisdom, nobody planned on 911 service being interrupted during the taking down of the Highway 365 bridge at IH10 in West Jefferson County, Texas. No, we are not kidding. So the China Fire Department and a private service would have to respond, as all three fire stations from Winnie to Beaumont cannot cross IH10 now to get to accidents, ems and fire calls.
Who screwed this up? Well, everyone is passing the buck right now.
“They didn’t forget. They just didn’t care, as we had been telling them for months that the bridge closure crossing the highway would hold us back from response,” said one of the firefighters to the Review this past evening.
So we called our source over at TXDOT.
“Uh, they didn’t tell us that China and Nome fire stations and private EMS would have to cover this. Not a word out of them. I blame the Fire Departments,” said our source.
And then the spin came today (we sometimes sit around and wait for the spin to come). Now Texdot is spinning that during the time of construction, everything will be safer? Are you kidding? Try telling that to a rural fire department that has to go 13 miles out of their way to get to a fire that usually takes around 24 minutes to get to. NOW it will only take about 40 minutes? And things are better. And now that the bridge is down, nobody can obviously cross, so?????
Again, the government does great things with stupid judgment. Mark this all down as stupid.
Nederland Dairy Queen Troubles
Well, there goes your chance of enjoying an ice cream cone after school with friends. If you live in the city of Nederland.
So the story goes, around 3 to 4 p.m. every day, a group of kids (latch key) arrive at the Dairy Queen store. This is after the powers that be screwed up the traffic patterns around one of the Middle Schools. So mommies and daddies tell their kids to walk to the Dairy Queen store, and they will pick them up. Some of the parents don’t show up until around 5 p.m., as their children have sat around for an hour and a half.
Talk about girls gone wild? How about KIDS GONE WILD, where they have taken over the store, and employees have had to take everything from drink cups to napkins away and put them in the back as the children have thrown things at the employees and used horrible statements to the staff.
Well, it ended up that (get this) the Sr. Management of Dairy Queen had to step in. Here is what one executive wrote on Facebook:
” I am the Director of Operations for both the Nederland and Pt. Neches DQ’s.Yes, signs have been posted at both stores concerning the rules of behavior. Yes, things had gotten better. We made it through Heritage Festival without an incident. Unfortunately, we have pinpointed a few individuals who tend to ramp up rowdiness while in the store. Those individuals will be banned from our store unless with a parent. We will institute a “Dining room monitor” during after-school hours. This individual will be tasked to temper loud behavior and asking the ones not following the rules to leave. This person will also have a cell phone at the ready to call the Nederland police for those who do not comply. We understand our facilities are used as a pick-up point for many parents. We appreciate the business those kids generate in the afternoons. We understand kids will be kids. They laugh, joke, and sometimes get loud. But, as I commented on the post by Terri Osgood, we want all guests to have an enjoyable visit to our restaurant. We have posted signs and will now implement the Dining room monitor. We will continue to provide the best service we know how for all customers. Thank you, and we appreciate your business!=====This is a long one, but if you live in Nederland and know someone who can possibly help, please read until the end. I had an appointment this afternoon, so I made it back to Nederland in time to pick up Alex from school. We decided to grab something to eat at Dairy Queen right after, and Anthi ended up meeting us there too. Before I go on, let me say this…I’ve worked in public education for 20 years, all of those years in Port Arthur. I was a site director for the YMCA After School Program in The Woodlands when I was 18, and I also worked with school-aged kids at Wee Care Daycare in Port Arthur around 19–20. I’m a mom of an 18-year-old and a 12-year-old, and over the years, I’ve been around plenty of kids and their friends. Long story short…I’m very familiar with kids and their behavior. With that said…What I witnessed at Dairy Queen this afternoon was UNBELIEVABLE. A group of middle school students, who I assume attend Central, had completely taken over the restaurant. They were loud, disrespectful, and completely out of control. Food was being thrown. Employees were being harassed. Some even had their feet up on the counter near the drink machine.”
What did he just say? The kids are out of control. The parents are nowhere to be seen. And another business is having issues in Nederland with out-of-control children.
The solution? Obviously, the multi-million dollar bond is not going to do anything. Right? The parents (mostly) in Nederland have raised brats just like they were raised. However, to their credit, this set of brats is worse than all of them combined. But in the end, Dairy Queen must now put a manager in their restaurant dining room to keep the peace. And that is sick, and you wonder why we have so much violence in the cities in Southeast Texas.
Here is our take. Cuff and stuff these brats for disturbing the peace. Then arrest the parents for their childrens behavours. That will solve things really fast. No beer money for daddy, and no koochie money for mommy. Ah, yes, we can feel the change now.
Nederland, Texas, the once quiet and peaceful town, has been ruined by spoiled man/women who have sucked the money out of the city and have no idea how to run a city (business). It is an open checkbook, and it is sad.
Go, dogs – right?
Justin’s Second Complaint
Welcome to the “other shoe drop” in the continuing saga of what many call the “pervert judge” in Hampshire Fannett. As well, he is still the fire chief, as nobody will step up and have him removed for his obvious criminal issues.
So, we have reported on this a little before; however, we did not have the entire story as we do now. And here it is:
There was a family that had a daughter out of control. They wanted to take their daughter to the judge, plead guilty, get her punishment, and get a lecture from the judge. Well, that is not all she has gotten. The girl and the judge started a long-term affair. Sometimes, screwing at the office, we are told, and meeting up all over the Hampshire Mafia’s nooks and crannies.
Well, the judge’s wife found out and posted this:
Well, that started a big war in Hampshire. Did the judge step out on his wife, with a person that he sentenced (so many ethical issues surround this)? If he was giving her the stiff one, is that legal, and what is wrong with his wife that would lead her not to divorce him? And does the family have a lawsuit against the Judge and the County?
And thennnnnnnnnnnn she goes nuts:
Now we are told that there are private TEXT MESSAGES from the judge to a citizen questioning him about his lifestyle, where he ADMITS to the investigation against him for failure to report a sexual assault.
No, really, we are not kidding.
The Review was promised the text messages; however, the person who has them states that the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department was given the text messages, and they say it has nothing to do with the charges that may be filed against the judge and the constable who was involved in the berating of the little girl who made the outcry. And the failure to report the outcry.
According to this witness, the judge in the text messages admits to the crimes. Is this the cover up begining by the powers to be? We have no idea. However, we do know that the Commission is watching Jefferson County on how they handle this obvious crime.
We will again continue to cooperate and watch this case creep through the justice system. Two young girls, one very corrupt judge who seemingly has a sex addiction.
