Sunday Rapid Fire

Brent Holtman saw the Harley-Davidson Road Kings sitting forlornly in the corner of the Quincy Police Department garage.

Unused and dirty, the bikes hadn't been ridden for at least a year. Holtman decided it was time to do something.

QPD leases the FLHPI Police Road King motorcycles from TNT Action Sports in Quincy for $200 a month.

So. Two bikes sat for a year, not being used. Were the taxpayers leasing them for $200 a month during this time?



From the looks of the 2007 COQ Annual Report, TNT was paid $5075.20.



Guess we were.

Gather 'round the good stuff......

A Pizza Hut restaurant near downtown was offering pizza and “pot” to go before the manager was arrested Friday, according to a police news release.

Fort Smith Police Department narcotics officers assisted Arkansas Beverage Control agent J. C. Rider’s investigation into reports that the manager of the restaurant at 1813 Grand Ave. was selling marijuana from the drivethrough window.

Investigators were told that several employees were smoking marijuana inside the restaurant.

A search of the business uncovered about 6 ounces of marijuana and a set of digital scales in a briefcase.

Police called to ‘stand by’ after
student removed from QND


A Quincy Notre Dame High School student was removed from the school’s campus Thursday morning and Quincy police were called to “stand by in the area.”

Quincy Police Lt. Dennis Bingheim said QND administrators asked for officers to “stand by in the area” when a student was told to leave. No arrests were made, Bingheim said.

Of course, it's QND.

No police report was made, and Bingheim referred further questions to the QND administration.

No Comment Please. Please.

Principal Ray Heilmann said he could not comment about the case or confirm that a student was removed.

Well somebody did.

He denied reports from some students and parents that the school was locked down and students were not allowed to leave the building or enter the school gymnasium without being escorted by a faculty member because of the incident.

Stop. Please stop asking questions. This is bad press!

“There was never an issue of concern or safety,” Heilmann said. “It was just more proactive.”

QPD is always called for "stand-by in the area". These also include Bomb threats, Hostage situations and Bank hold ups. Never an issue of safety or concern here either.

Heilmann acknowledged that students were kept inside the building during lunch from 10:53 a.m. to 12:33 p.m. Thursday, in part “because of the pouring rain.”

NWS at Baldwin International Airport in Quincy reports that weather conditions Thursday between 10:54am and 11:54 was overcast, 61 degrees and only received 0.17 inches of rain.

Pull my other leg and it plays Jingle Bells.

Experts don't live here.

Texas firm hired for Washington Theater renovations.

Nebraska firm hired for Adams County zoning.

Tookie mentioned of this a while back on his blog.

It has some real truth.

Coffee Anyone?

QHW and Dilberts Office both getting new coffee machines at the same time?

Coincidence ?
