My God? Our emergency response Team sure moves fast!
I went for my little walk and once at the corner of Regent and King’s Street.
I heard sirens coming from all over the place. It happened so fast that I didn’t take a picture.
All were heading toward the Legislature and quickly turned left. The only place they could go was the old Beaverbrook Hotel.
I began to run toward the area. < I got to quit smoking! >
Once there, I notice they were all near the Saint John River.
I guess someone from the 11th floor saw someone going through the ice.
I might add there were emergency personnel across the river also.
My God? They sure move fast!
I decided to carry on my walk and these three youths told me they saw a snowmobile racing on the Saint John River an hour earlier.
I saw the firemen in the middle of the Saint John River looking through a hole in the ice.
I was certain that a body would be found.
I began to make it to the other side and many citizens began to gather in the area. It was very dark.
I noticed a guy going to the scene with a fancy camera so I decided to follow the guy.
Hey? If he’s allowed to take a pic? Why not the blogger???
At the end, the firemen came walking toward the shore but they couldn’t locate a body.
From what I’m told it was a fake alarm but I learned that our emergency response team sure moves fast!!!!
Good work!!!!
I called Ridgewood on Friday for some much needed help with a gambling addiction. I was told they have beds up there for that as well. I had to leave a message on the in-take worker's machine. The message line said she would be there until 4:30pm on Friday. I called around 2 pm. No one got back to me. I waited and waited.
Finally today, Tuesday, I called again and left another message. Then I called another line and got a live person. The live person told me if I need someone right away like that to call Mental Health. I called Mental Health, the receptionist said we have no gambling support people here, but I will give your name and number to our in-take worker and the worker will call you back.
I waited several hours then I went out for a walk. When I got back there was a message on my machine from a worker, she left no number. By that time the Mental Health was closed.
My point being, it's no wonder people are committing suicide with this gambling affliction. If there is help out there, where is it? It's darn long getting to you!!
It will soon be a week since my initial call and I have received no support counselling as yet. Awful!
