The
issue of Air Ambulance service to and from Grand Manan will be brought
to the floor of the Legislature by Liberal M-L-A Rick Doucet of
Charlotte-The Isles because people are concerned.
Doucet
tells CHSJ News Ambulance NB is in damage control after the latest
incident involving a 60 year old man who suffered a heart attack and
waited 2 hours and 40 minutes to be airlifted to the Regional Hospital.
Ambulance
NB C-E-O Alan Stephen has told Tide News the patient needed care on
board the plane that was beyond what could be provided by the Atlantic
Charters plane and that's why they waited for the Air Care plane to fly
in from dropping off a patient in Halifax.
Doucet
says he's hearing so many different stories, it's time to get to the
bottom of what's going on and if the system has to be fixed, then get it
done.
City police are looking for a 24 year old man they say is dangerous and has a history of violence.
William Edward Hayward is 6 foot 1, 272 pounds with a shaved head, blue eyes and many tattoos.
Hayward
may be in Saint John or Moncton.
If you see him, you are asked to
contact City police or Crime Stoppers at 648-3333 or 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

If you like a dark twist on classic nursery rhymes then you might want to check out this Haunted House.
The Simonds Fire Department is hosting its 5th annual Haunted House at 184 Range Road tonight and tomorrow night.
Deputy Chief Bill Peacock tells Tide News you expect to see a different version of the 3 little pigs and more
He says Goldilocks cut the heads off three bears and mounted them and the house has a clown theme as well.

Runners of all ages will be getting in the Halloween spirit this morning!
The 4th
annual "Creepy Crawl" fun run will be kickin' off at Beaconsfield
Middle School in Saint John at 9:30 am. There's a 1 km kids run, 3 km challenge for
middle school students and 5 kilometre run/walk for adults.
Organizer Connie Coffin tells Tide news there's lots of fun Halloween decorations along the course and suggests
runners wear costumes.
Coffin
says every year their run club votes on where the money should go. This
year proceeds from the run are split between PRO Kids and the Carlton
Community Centre on the west side. Coffin says those two were picked
because the centre gives their run club space to meet and PRO kids helps
kids in sports and recreation. Last year the group raised just over
$1,100.
They'll also be collecting non-perishable food items for the food bank.
The run is $10 for adults, $5 for kids and little ones are free.
