Another delay in dealing with the former Grace Hospital Site.

     Council wont' deal with the issue as planned on Monday, Mayor Eddie Francis says they are now waiting on test results for asbestos.

     A special meeting will be called for some time next week.

     The former Auditor General in Windsor says he regrets ever taking the job. Todd Langlois says his office was constantly undermined and met with resistance. 

     Langlois says the CAO didn't want an A-G office and he wanted to review the books at Enwin Utilities but was blocked.

     Langlois was fired Tuesday after being on the job for 10 months.

     The Mayor denies the allegations and says Langlois was fired because he didn't live up to his contract

    The Chair of the city's Audit Committee won't commit to opening up the Enwin books and says he'll assess the need for it first.

     Bill Carter says  "we've gone in and done a lot of audit work based on concerns of some individuals and there's nothing there that's as bad as they make it out to be"

     Carter also says there's no connection between the firing of former Auditor General Todd Langlois the same day his draft work plan was to be introduced.

     Ontario Minister of Health Deb Matthews is not in favour of charging patients to force them out of acute care beds.

     Matthews was in Windsor today to talk health care and visit the home of an east-side resident who is wheelchair bound, but lives at home with the support of home health care.

     Matthews says she's working to alleviate hospital over-crowding but thinks charging patients to coerce them to leave is the very last resort.

     The former Auditor General of Windsor is setting the record straight. 

      At a news conference heard live on AM 800, lawyer Jim Cooke who is representing Todd Langlois says Langlois was given no reasons for his termination.

      Langlois requested to review the books at Enwin but was told by Mayor Eddie Francis that Enwin wasn't in his scope of responsiblities.

     Cooke called city hall a "toxic workplace" and that there is a culture of control emanating from the mayor's office.

     At this point, Langlois has not filed a lawsuit.

     Cooke says Langlois will not receive a severance unless he signs a release or 'gag order'.

     The Electro-Motive plant in London is closing.

     American-based Caterpillar is closing the plant where 465 workers have been locked out since New Year's Day.

     The CAW and labour leaders are expressing frustration and anger over the move.

     President of the Windsor and District Labour Council Dino Chiodo says he is disgusted.

     He says this is a company that took advantage of a weak government that didn't want to get involved.

     The company argued the cost structure at the plant was unsustainable.

     Windsor Police have released more details on the local arrests following a massive province-wide child pornography investigation.

     Of the 60 people charged in Ontario, 5 are from Windsor and a Scarborough man was also arrested in Windsor.

     In one case, a man was seen viewing the child pornography in public (at a book store and on a bus).

     Two of the suspects were charged after chatting on-line with an undercover police officer posing as a 15 year old girl.

     Windsor Police Staff Sergeant Bill Donnelly says officers have to go through thousand and thousands of images as part of this investigation.

     The charges range from accessing, possession and distribution of child porn as well as luring a child for sexual purposes.

     Police say two of the suspects have had previous convictions, one for a similar child luring case and another for a bank robbery.

     Windsor's jobless rate has inched higher.

     Stats Canada says the rate rose four-tenths of a per cent in January to 10.9 per cent.

     Across the country, the unemployment rate rose one basis point to 7.6 per cent as just 23-hundred jobs were created.

    Another group has weighed in on the future of the St. Clair College woodlot.

    The College wants to buy it under an agreement with the city to build a long-term care nursing home on College property.

     Phil Roberts of the Windsor-Essex County Environment Committee is suspicious of college motives and fears development is planned at some point in the future.

     The College says it wants the space for its horticultural program.

     City councillors want to lease the land instead of selling it as a way to protect if from development.

     A decision is expected Monday night.

     Protesters at a rally planned for this afternoon in front of the old Grace Hospital building are hoping to help city councillors make a decision on the future of the building.

     Today's rally starts at 4:30.

     Councillors decide the fate of the building on Monday.

     The unusually mild winter has brought some early visitors to an area north of Sarnia.
     About 400 tundra swans have landed near Kettle Point.

      It's about 6-weeks earlier than their usual arrival time.

     Each year the birds migrate some 65-hundred kilometres from the U-S east coast to breeding grounds in the Canadian Arctic. They stop in the Sarnia area to rest and feed for 2 or 3 weeks.

     We get the other side of the story today from Windsor's former Auditor General.

     Todd Langlois has called a news conference at his lawyer's office to talk about his dismissal by Windsor city council on Monday.

     Under an agreement with the city, Langlois will get 6 months salary.

     He was hired less than a year ago after a 3-year search by city council.

   A suspect has pleaded guilty following a series of brazen robberies in the city's east-end last year.

   18 year old Anthony Pompa has pleaded guilty to one count of robbery.

   His sentencing takes place on April 12th.

   Back in July, a group of men would jump out of a minivan and rob and assault innocent by-standers.

   Residents in the neighborhood of the old Grace Hospital want to send a message to Windsor Council.

   They're holding a rally Friday to tell council it wants the dilapidated structure torn down.

   Crawford Avenue resident Mark Dana is putting the rally together and hopes a lot of people show up.

    Windsor council is to vote on a recommendation on the fate of the building Monday.

    The rally at the Grace site starts at 4:30 PM.

  A bit less cargo moved through the Port of Windsor in 2011.

   The port handled over 5-million tonnes of material through the year.

   But that's a decline of almost 5-percent from 2010.

   Port Authority President and C-E-O David Cree points to a slowdown in construction aggregate shipments.

   He says fewer major construction projects is the main reason.

   Cree believes the wet spring meant a later start to the construction season last year.

    Harsh words used today against the Ambassador Bridge company at Michigan's Court of Appeals.

    The legal counsel for Michigan's Attorney General stood up to tell the 3 judge panel that today's appeal attempt by the Bridge company's lawyers was "an attempt to make a mockery of justice".

     That volley was launched in the battle to force Bridge owner Matty Moroun and bridge president Dan Stamper to get road work done at the Detroit bridge plaza.

     Their lawyers are trying to keep them out of jail after they spent one night there last month. They were ordered there until they completed the Gateway project.  Moroun and Stamper were not in court today.

      The 3 judge appeals panel adjourned after the hearing to make a decision. It's expected it will be handed down before the end of next week.

     The United Way of Windsor-Essex is making an urgent appeal for donations.

     C-E-O Penny Marrett says they're currently projecting a $100-thousand shortfall of their $5-million dollar goal.

     At Herman Secondary School today, the public, Catholic and French school boards announced a donation of nearly $294-thousand.

     Marrett is optimistic the community will come through for the United Way.

     She says they were in the same position last year and ended up raising more than $5-million.

     Traffic is moving normally again across the Windsor-Detroit border but that wasn't the case last night.

     A backlog developed when Canada Customs officers walked off the job at both the bridge and the tunnel over what's described as a health and safety issue.

     AM800 News has been told a dispute over the treatment of people considered to be 'armed and dangerous' is behind the walkout.

     Local Union President Ace Essex doesn't expect any disciplinary action because employees have the right to refuse work if they consider it to be unsafe.

     Transit Windsor is being asked to run an after-hours shuttle bus on weekends to help university students get back to campus from the downtown core.

     Councillor Fulvio Valentinis wants the bus company to extend service past 2 a.m. so students get home safely after the bars close.

     Valentinis thinks the service would also cut down on violence that sometimes erupts while revelers are waiting for cabs.

      On the job for less than a year, Windsor's Auditor General has been terminated.

      Sources tell AM800 News, Todd Langlois has been let go for refusing to outsource his staff even though he originally agreed to do so.

     The city will pay him 6 months salary.

     Langlois was hired last April.

     A fire in west Windsor overnight has left a 69-year old woman in a Detroit hospital.

     It started just before midnight at a home in the 1000 block of Wigle Avenue.

     Firefighters arrived to find smoke and flames coming from the  house and, while they had the fire out quickly, the woman suffered 1st and 2nd degree burns and smoke inhalation.

      The Ontario Fire Marshall is on the scene investigating the cause.  Investigator James Gillespie says it looks like the fire started in the living room. 

     Damage is pegged at 75 to 80-thousand dollars.

Canada Customs officers in Windsor have walked off the job at the tunnel and the bridge.

Local Customs and Immigration Union President Ace Essex tells AM-800 News officers walked out around 6-pm because of a health and safety issue although he wouldn't elaborate any further except to say he's trying to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

He doesn't expect any disciplinary action to be taken against those who walked off the job because they have the right to refuse unsafe work.

Labour talks are also underway but Essex says they have nothing to do with this situation.

   Windsor Mayor Eddie Francis says it's his job to find a solution to keep the 256-bed long term care project moving forward at St. Clair College.

   The 35-million dollar deal between Schlegel and the college is in jeopardy because of decision of city council.

    The city was suppose to "sell" a woodlot to the college in exchange for the college land to build the new facility.

   But council voted Monday to "lease" the woodlot for 99 years for one dollar, which the college won't accept.

   Francis has been burning up the phone lines to work something out.

   He admits the hiccup is a "significant hurdle" but he hopes to have some sort of solution by the end of this week or Monday.

     Ward 1 City Councillor Drew Dilkens is defending a decision by the city's executive committee to lease a woodlot to St. Clair College.

     Dilkens says the 99 year lease for one dollar is reasonable and protects the future of the woodlot.

     As AM 800 news reported this morning, College President Dr. John Strasser said the city was suppose to "sell" the woodlot to the college in exchange for college land to build a long-term care home.

     Strasser says the committee's decision on Monday jeopardizes the long-term care deal.

     Dilkens admits initially the plan was to sell the woodlot, but after receiving further information, council felt leasing the property was the best way to protect it.

     Two men from Windsor have been arrested and a storage locker in Lasalle has been seized.

     A report on phasing in the system and its annual operating cost is expected in a few months.

     Deal or no deal?

     That's the question in a dispute between St. Clair College and the City of Windsor.

     An agreement to build a $35 million dollar long-term care home on college property hinges on the sale of a city-owned woodlot to the college in exchange for land to build the home.

     Windsor is now thinking about leasing that land instead of selling it.    

     College President, John Strasser says, no sale, no deal.

     City councillor, Alan Halberstadt , says leasing the land is the only way to ensure it remains green space.

      Construction on the 256-bed facility is scheduled to start next month.

     "In Honour of the Ones We Love" supports cancer patients care in Windsor-Essex.

     Imperioli has also worked for many other agencies, including Hospice and the Red Cross.

     The death of a woman in Ford City last year has been ruled.."accidental."

     The woman's body was discovered in a home in the one-thousand block of Henry Ford Centre Drive last July.

     With utilities to the house cut off, investigators believe the woman had used a space heater to keep warm, likely got too close and caught her clothes on fire.

      Windsor is working on a bylaw dealing with e-bikes on city roads, sidewalks and bike lanes.

     Anyone 16 and over can drive one as long as they're wearing a helmet but they aren't considered a motor vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act and don't need insurance.

     City Engineer, Mario Sonego says the wording of a bylaw needs to be just right so other motorized vehicles such as wheelchairs aren't impacted.

     A report on e-bike bylaws drafted by other cities is expected soon.

     Scratch an aquarium off Windsor's wish list.

     The once-talked-about $50 million to $100 million project is off the radar because new aquariums are being built in Toronto and Toledo and the market can't support one in Windsor. As well, the University of Windsor has already served notice that it doesn't have the funding to enter into an aquarium partnership.

     Other projects under consideration as part of Windsor's 2012 capital plan are a transient marina and a new city hall.  A report is being prepared on how long the current building will last.

   When construction on the downtown Windsor Aquatic Centre begins in March, the pool will be the priority.

   Project Manager Don Sadler says they won't be able to complete the entire $77-million complex in time for the July 2013 International Children's Summer Games.

   He says the pool will be finished in time...but they'll have to reclose the facility in the fall to complete the family water park.

     The investigations into 2 local used-car dealerships has wrapped up. And Windsor Police say it's one their biggest indictments, with 146 charges laid against 3 men.

     Mary McConnell was Peter Kambas's girlfriend back in June 2008.

     McConnell testified she spoke to Kambas on the phone while he was at Carter's home on Moy Avenue.

     She also smelled gasoline or propane.

     It's back and it's more annoying than ever.  After seeming to die down in recent weeks, the Zug Island hum has returned with a vengeance.

     Ward 10 Councillor, Al Maghnieh got several calls from frustrated residents on the weekend.  Saying he doesn't ' ...buy into this cross-border crap anymore', he plans to fire off a letter to the federal government demanding that something be done. 

     Testing last year determined the low frequency sound wave was coming from the Zug Island area but the exact cause has not been determined.

      The noise is blamed for vibrating doors and windows and keeping residents in west Windsor, Lasalle and elsewhere awake at night.

     Jurors in the Shafia family murder trial have reached a verdict, finding each of the three accused guilty of four counts of first-degree murder.

     Mohammad Shafia, 58, his wife Tooba Yahya, 42, and their son Hamed, 21, had pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the deaths of Shafia's three teenaged daughters and his first wife.
