Barnstable Patrtiot – A former Cape Cod Hospital doctor had her license to practice suspended indefinitely on Nov. 19 after she admitted to performing a colonoscopy on a patient while she was drunk.

The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine said Friday that it took action against Dr. Kathleen E. Koehler after she admitted to the ethical breach in the medical procedure. The complaint against her says she performed the drunken colonoscopy on March 4, 2013.

Koehler is a graduate of the Albert Einstein School of Medicine Yeshiva University and has been a licensed physician in Massachusetts since 1985. She is board certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology. Her most recent employer was Cape Cod Hospital, according to the board.

Wait, is there a better time to do a colonoscopy than after a few drinks? Listen, there’s a ton of medical procedures I want my doctor sober for, but a colonoscopy just isn’t one of them. Have some drinks doc, smoke a little weed, light some incense and dim the lights. If you’re gonna stick something up my butt I’d much rather you make yourself comfortable and set the mood first. Who wants an uptight sober person putting something in their anal cavity in some bright, stale room? I’ll take my colonoscopy from a buzzed up doctor in a dark room with tapestries and lava lamps every time thank you.

Yup, I’m siding with the doc on this one. If we start firing people every time they get a little tipsy and try to perform a colonoscopy, we’ll have a bunch of unemployed husbands when they get home tonight after the Pats game.

CapeCodOnline.com – Two Mashpee residents have been ordered held on $2,500 bail each on charges related to an alleged shoplifting incident Wednesday at the Radio Shack at Patriot Square in South Dennis, according to Orleans District Court records.

At around 11:25 a.m. Wednesday, the pair is alleged to have taken about $650 in products from the electronics store in the Route 134 plaza, a Dennis police report says. The couple were seen leaving the area in a dark green Chevrolet Cavalier. Yarmouth police, who had learned of the alleged shoplifting incident, stopped the car on Long Pond Road in South Yarmouth. The products missing from the South Dennis store are alleged to have been in the pair’s possession.

The most surprising part of this is that Radio Shack still exists. I would have thought they went out of business once the days of shoving coat hangers in rabbit ear antennas were over.

I’m not so sure that I believe the numbers in this report. How do you even steal $650 worth of crap from a Radio Shack? What did they take, a Texas Instruments calculator, a universal remote, and 578 cable splitters?

Hey guys, 1983 called and they want their prime shoplifting location back.

Eastham Library – The Turnip Festival House Band, also known as the Higher Ground String Band, will entertain us throughout the day. The culinary cornerstone of the Fest is the ever popular Turnip Cook-Off. Who will be crowned Turnip Queen or Turnip King? Who can peel a turnip the fastest?  Mr. Turnip Head Contest (decorate a turnip for a chance to win prizes).

This celebration of all that is turnip will be held rain or shine, so join the festivities! ADMISSION IS
FREE!

Saturday, November 22, 2014
1:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Nauset Regional High School
100 Cable Road, Eastham

Let me tell you a little something. The residents of Eastham are darn lucky I can’t make this event, because everyone who’s anyone knows I was born in a turnip field with a turnip in my hand. I would turnip peel circles around the competition at this thing, turn right around and take first place with my turnip casserole.

Then by the time we were done dirty dancing to the Turnip Band, the Turnip Queen would be pregnant with turnip twins. They don’t call me ol’ turnip toes for nothing . It’s just a damn shame that I’m going to have to miss out on what is certain to be the party of the year in Eastham.

P.S. Not gonna lie, it moved a little when I first saw the photo of that Mrs. Turnip Tranny with the hair weave.

CBS – Erosion is a bitter enemy to many residents along the coast of New England. But in the Cape Cod town of Sandwich, erosion has taken on the role of archaeologist.

“It’s bittersweet,” says Sandwich Historical Commission member Lisa Hassler, “Because we’re losing land, but at the same time, we’ve just found a very significant historical site.”

The erosion has exposed the old Sandwich brickyard. Red bricks can now be seen buried in clay and sand – it’s a mystery solved. The location of the brickyard has been unknown for at least a hundred years. And the brickyard played a prominent role in the War of 1812.

original article HERE by George Brennan

The location has been unknown for at least a hundred years huh? I’ve got news for the historical commission and these reporters. There’s at least one person that has known EXACTLY where that brickyard was for a while now. Namely, the guy that excavated the hole for that house that’s sitting right on top of it.

That dude and half of his friends probably have sweet brick fire pits in their yards that were built out of pieces of Sandwich history that he dug up. Little do they know that they’ve been drinking beers next to two hundred year old Cape Cod relics all this time.

I’m going out on a limb and guessing that the excavator guy didn’t realize he found the brickyard that saved Sandwich from invasion during the war of 1812. Does anyone that’s not a historian know anything about the war of 1812?

BPD Facebook – The Bourne Police Department is looking for information regarding the identity of the male in the attached surveillance images. These images were taken this morning at Gallo Ice Arena on Sandwich Rd.

The male in the video is suspected of entering the ice area, removing car keys from multiple lockers and proceeding to the parking lot where he used the keys to gain entry into the vehicles and steal items from them. The male is then seen leaving the area in what appears to be a new model dark colored Honda Civic Coupe.

GR – An offshore wind farm that could be the nation’s first has gotten its final lease and permits from state coastal regulators.

The Coastal Resources Management Council last week unanimously approved the paperwork for Deepwater Wind’s project off Block Island.

The five-turbine project is three miles off Block Island and is competing with the larger Cape Wind off Cape Cod to become the nation’s first offshore wind farm.

Deepwater Wind CEO Jeff Grybowski (grih-BOW’-skee) tells Rhode Island Public Radio that the company now has all the leases and permits it needs for the project, and they can start construction next year.

He says more than 20 local, state and federal government agencies had to approve the project.

Agree or disagree with Cape Wind, the bottom line is that the writing is on the wall and it’s going to happen. Now all sides should just band together and pass everything to get it started. I don’t even care about the electricity at this point, we just can’t lose a race to Rhode Island. That’s like getting beat up by your little brother.

These people elect felons to public office. We are talking about a state that gave $75 million to Curt Schilling. Let me repeat that a different way, they gave a baseball player that doesn’t believe in evolution seven-tee-frickin’-five-MILLION dollars to make a video game!

Now they will forever be known as the birthplace of wind farms in The United States. Even though Cape Cod has been working on it for 67 years, they are going to jump in and beat us to it at the last second. Remember that chick that won the Boston Marathon but really only ran like the last few miles? That’s Rhode Island, they are the Rosie Ruiz of wind farms.
