I just wanted to give a heads up to people living in East End Windsor. I live in an apartment off of Lauzon parkway between Wyandotte and Tecumseh, and sometime between late Jan 17-early Jan 18, some lowlife drained my car of gas by drilling into my gas tank.

Initially I thought that something was wrong with my car because there was gas all in the parking lot, but my mechanic showed me the obvious drill hole in my tank, so I called the police to report it and there were at least 2 other reports of this in the area at around the same time. So keep your eyes peeled and hopefully this loser gets caught.

We just went to city hall square, where we were verbally attacked by a disgruntled and Rude parking enforcement employee. There is construction there and it's hard to get through as it is all closed off, we had to turn around so we pulled into a driveway area where you can't clearly park. But you can't get through and traffic was busy. We have a truck and my husband didn't want to back up because people were walking and cars were coming and going so we had pulled into this space to turn around. We couldn't back out now because people were in the way yea u know you have to wait till it is clear. All of a sudden there was a parking enforcement guy just yelling at us. I mean extremely rude a little excessive actually you can clearly see we had reverse lights on and we were attempting to back up. He wasn't like you can't park here he was yelling just so you know I took a picture of your truck! You just won yourself a 110.00 fine for parking there. At first I was trying to be professional and explain the situation but he wasn't having it he continued to yell at us. I asked him what his name was and he was like you don't need to know my name!! If I ever see you here again I'm going to get you!! Get us how?? With the ticket? I feel like it was really threatening. My husband said it won't happen again we were just turning around and I told him there is no reason to be so mean about it and I asked his name because I feel threatened and I wanted to make a complaint. After that he was like your getting the ticket in the mail. Why couldn't we have It then??? So I definately have to make the complaint because I don't feel I should have to pay a 110.00 ticket for turning around??? I stopped to take a photo of the car he came from because there was a number on it. I would like to make a complaint. When I called an automated service comes on about having 0 tolerance for anyone who is yelling or mean or abusive. What about 0 tolerance for employees acting like that? I'm actually really up set and kinda scared because now this employee has all our information. It's hard to even explain how upset he was. I can understand if we parked there but we were really just trying to turn around. I took a photo of the car because he wouldn't give me any information and I figured it had a number on it that I could use that to complain. I just wanted to let people know there is a disgruntled employee working for parking enforcement and we as citizens shouldn't have to put up with that. They should have better training because their job can be stressful but they shouldn't be taking it out on the citizens.

To the man who stopped his car at the busy corner of Goyeau and Erie. (on wednesday) and got out to assist a man in a wheelchair who was struggling to get across the street and pushed him all the way to safety up on the sidewalk...WAY TO GO...YOU HAVE BEEN SPOTTED!

It was an extremely long day at that point, we had logged 12 hours in the ER between two people in two days. He was small and hooked to an IV pole convinced if it was removed that his arm was going to fall off. You were there when it was put in and he screamed like he was being tortured by feral cats. He begged them to leave it in, take it home, to begin life with the IV pole. In his head it wasn't coming off, ever. He claimed the arm no longer worked that he has a "sad puncher arm" that he could only give "one handed hugs" and his love of Minecraft was finished because his now hooked up arm had ended his career. We got transferred to the TC chairs, from a nice comfy bed, he cried. Then promptly fell asleep exclaiming "don't touch my arm" as he wholeheartedly wagged his little finger at anyone who came close. You were kind hearted, first offered your seat to move over, so we could sit together. Then we met you, the teller of jokes with the golf ball sized elbow and a smile for days that makes everyone else smile because you just have too. The fist bump was nice, he liked that. We talked about you long after you left and your begotten elbow of doom. I've assured him it’s going to grow back, that you’re really a super hero with awesome regrowing powers. To the nice lady, with her mom who had a broken finger but ended up in the full arm cast, he loved you too it made the night go by easier. From one tired mom to another, I get you, more than you can ever understand. As we stand on the front line with our children.
And finally to the last woman standing as they removed her IV and she went home with her mom. Thank you, thank you for showing him that life didn't end when they took it out. That your arm, although in a cast, stayed on. Because life at six is hard enough, If only. #autismtimes
To the most amazing staff at Met ER, thank you. Although he screamed, it was short. But in the end, I explained to him that your superhero capes were just at the cleaners. Your squeaky hospital shoes and magical stethoscopes made life better for loads of people that night.

Please help by posting this to your page. She's a local mama and a good friend of mine. We are all devastated. Someone out there could be her miracle.



This is Madalayna Ducharme our daughter. She is 5 months old and has recently been diagnosed with malignant infantile osteopetrosis. It is a genetic disorder that doesn't allow the bones work properly and they become too dense. This disorder is awful, it attacks vision, hearing and is life threatening. Madalayna is in need of a bone marrow stem cell transplant.

If you are in the age bracket of 17-35 and are healthy we encourage you to sign up to be on the one match registry. It is a quick swab of your mouth to register. If you match up with someone it could be as simple as a blood donation because science has come a long way and has discovered new easier methods for collecting stem cells. You may be the only person in the world who could save a special someone, like Madalayna's, life.

If you are not able to register for any reason, word of mouth to spead awareness to people who can, is greatly appreciated.

Lost my small grey and white striped change purse either Jan. 12th or 13th likely while waiting at McDonald's, Tim Horton's or Brews and Cues on E.C. Row Expressway to complete my school bus run. It is a little grey and white change purse with all my license, health card, credit cards, bank cards in it., Have cancelled all credit cards but am most concerned about my license and health card. Both are hard to replace without any id. If you have found it, my name is on cards...phone number is listed under Amherstburg. Thank you.
