<div><br></div>Thank you Gary for taking the moral high ground: Vilify and
denigrate the whistle blowers, ignore the seriousness of the complaint, ignore
the egregiously wrong headed initial and continuing responses of Carscalen and
Button. You are indeed a wonderful role model for young Republicans
everywhere.<br><br>w. <br><br>

<div>
<div>Donovan,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The investigation at this point should be made at the personal
integrities for the command officers. The article in the Lewiston Tribune made
that very clear. It had a lot of double speak and finger pointing. They were
essentially agreeing with the complainants then at the same time, blaming them
for the result of this being brought to the attention of the public. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If the woman in possession of the drugs had a prescription, she would
have not been asked to take a drug test. She could have easily explained that
it was rightfully hers...but instead she admitted and claimed it was
oxycodone, and willingly dumped it. If she had the right to have oxycodone she
would have fought throwing it away. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Evidence is "tainted" because the officers in charge did not come to the
station to address the problem. They asked the firefighters who found the
drugs to deal with the situation. If those officers truly believed it could
have been explosive or hazardous, then a hazmat team should have been
activated and police and fire response would have been necessary, but instead
those fire officers stayed at home in their own beds and did not address this
serious problem.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, I would like to know where you are getting your information
concerning complaints against Dan Carscallen? Most people are too concerned
for their positions in the MVFD to speak up but there are many volunteers who
are concerned with his management style. The assault complaint was not bogus.
He found it his duty to respond to the hospital in the short amount of time it
took the ambulance to drive from Wal-Mart to confront a former MVFD member
about riding in the quick response vehicle...not the ambulance. Ben Dill did
not have any patient contact, he was merely with Shambaugh at the time of the
call and rode in the vehicle like so many other members have in the
past. Yet Carscallen felt it was ok to forcefully grab (not some light
elbow touch) a former member and citizen and significant other of a paramedic
to demonstrate his anger for proper paperwork?! The lead paramedic, and only
paramedic on the call was Bonnie Shambaugh, who was operating the quick
response vehicle to respond to the call. What federal law did Dill refuse to
follow? Again, this event happened AFTER the drug discovery. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Furthermore, Dan Carscallen does not have 10 years of public service. He
has been a Basic level EMT for approx 5 years. He has been a firefighter for
even less. Yet he has politically won the position of Ambulance 1st Lt and
Fire Captain. He has the authority to run EMS operations when he have never
sought higher level EMT or firefighting certications. As far as I know, he
took the captains position without ever fighting a fire. He is unfit for more
reasons than what has been recently apparent in the newspaper. He has proven
he cannot think on his feet and he does not have the integrity to admit when
he was wrong and instead forces blame on those who reported the problem with
the expectation that he would do the right thing too.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To go more into your claim about the discovery of the drugs...what makes
you think you know what the intentions of these firefighters were and what
they were doing at the time of the discovery? Obviously there is a lot that
was left out of the newspapers. To my knowledge the firefighters were all
friends, spending time in the room together on that night. A jewelery box was
spotted in the top desk drawer of one of the firefighters and thats when it
became a serious matter. Are you suggesting the firefighters should have
returned the jewelry box and not report the incident? Allow the firefighter to
potentially run calls, drive the fire engine, fight fire or assist with
medical calls under the influence? I dont know about you, but most college
aged young women do not ask permission to open jewelry boxes and what happened
was not a crime. There was no snooping in personal belonging or searching
while the other firefighter was asleep. That is an assumption on your part.
These girls were all friends, hanging out and despite that relationship knew
they had the duty to report the drugs.</div>
