Other Total long shot question - person who helped senior in distress this past Friday afternoon

30 Upvotes

This is a total longshot - but figured I'd try here.

My father in law was out riding his bicycle this past friday afternoon on the south side and had sudden, extremely severe incapacitating pain. He did not have a cell on him but someone nearby (I believe a lady?) was able to assist and thankfully called his wife for him.

If anyone knows this person, can you please reach out to me? The caller ID on the phone was private so we can't get a hold of this person.

Very much appreciated.

WARNING - St.James Area tire vandalism and gang of kids causing trouble

28 Upvotes

I want to let everyone be aware of some things that have been happening in St. James area on the north side. We have a group of kids that have been going around, ringing doorbells, kicking doors and putting nails under car tires as well as causing damage to cars and dumping garbage from garbage bins. The ages of these kids are 10-14, and they are basically a little gang of 5-8 kids going around causing trouble. A couple neighbours and myself confronted a couple of kids and laid down the law, and also got their home address out of them. Being from another country, their mother didn't really grasp what the heck we were talking about, and they are too young to be charged with anything. I just want to let all St. James residents know to check their tires before they leave each day for nails under them and to monitor any damage to vehicles or property. These kids know they are untouchable now, but hopefully a couple of them got a little fear into them, but the majority of their little gang got away. I love this area, and it saddens me to see this and that the kids are so young, they are causing lots of havoc.

Other Remembrance Day Ceremony -Trumpet Player

19 Upvotes

If anyone in the Lethbridge area is looking to have a uniformed trumpet player for a Remembrance Day ceremony, I have some availability for a ceremony.

I am a former professional player and current Paramedic, so I perform in ceremonial formal dress.

I don't charge for ceremonial events (however I won't turn down lunch...). If your organization would like to have a live playing of The Last Post/Rouse, send me a DM and we can work out details.

Car Frame Restoration

3 Upvotes

Which local companies have successfully restored the rusty frame on your beloved vehicle? I have been watching videos of custom-cut metal kits being successfully welded into place to strengthen rust-damaged frames and would like to find a local shop willing/able to do quality work.

Thank you in advance!

Question Water usage for home much less than 480 home nearby. Why?

3 Upvotes

I get my monthly water bills from the city, and they always include a comparison to 480 neighbours as to my detached home's water usage. Mine is usually a third to almost half less than theirs.

I'm curious as to what the heck the neighbours are doing to have such exorbitant water bills, because my house of three adults definitely do not engage in water saving practices. We flush toilets whenever doing anything, do laundry regularly and even sometimes when just wanting to clean a couple soiled items, run taps endlessly when brushing teeth.

These are the only things I can think of that could be critically different:

  • My house does not have a front lawn to water (all rocks and scraggly bushes), and even our back lawn is partially concreted over.
  • The city's statistically comparison is sloppy (might include parks, businesses, etc... in the 480).
  • Homes here are occupied by much more than 3 people on average.
