Hamilton police say they have found slightly more than 1,000 marijuana plants in the plant.

The value is being estimated at more than $1 million.

Police spokeswoman Catherine Martin said the plants were found during a search of the building at Wentworth and Burton streets earlier today by police and members of the vice and drug squad.

Vice and drug officers remain at the scene at this hour. The site is in between Barton Street East and Burlington Street East.

Police said they were alerted to the situation through a tip to Crime Stoppers.

Martin said no charges have been laid following the discovery, but the investigation is ongoing.

Hydro to the building has been shut down and Martin said there is indications of illegal electrical hookups on the site.

Liam has been playing the East Coast fiddle style since he was 51/2 years old.

He is taking part in several music festivals over the summer months in both Ontario and Prince Edward Island.

He is especially excited about attending the Leahy Summer Music Camp in Lakefield, just north of Peter-borough, where he'll continue to learn more about the fiddle music that he loves so much.

Her children, 14-year-old Abbie and eight-year-old Leif had been swept away by the swollen waters of nearby Tuck Creek in Burlington.

"I just threw off my shoes and started running," said Ramsay, 39. "I thought they were gone."

Leif and his stepsisters had been playing in the creek Saturday when Leif dropped his flip-flop into the water. But the creek -- which is usually ankle-deep -- had swollen and was nearly two metres deep because of heavy rain.

When Leif tried to grab his shoe, the current took hold and swept him downstream. Abbie jumped in after him and was also carried away. Eleven-year-old Bailey ran to her mom for help.

"She was pretty frantic," Ramsay said.

Ramsay ran down to the creek, immediately got into the water and was also swept downstream. She had several moments when she struggled to keep her head above water as she searched for her children.

Marino Rakovac, who owns property near Bay and Barton streets, has created a website that provides extensive details about the proposal.

The plans, detailed at hamiltonbay.blogspot.com, include hotel and condo towers, a bayfront village with restaurants and shops, and a retractable roof on the stadium that "consists of four arch truss frames covered in synthetic fabric or solid panels." The proposal also includes walkways connecting the stadium to Liuna Station on James Street.

Rakovac's website proposes the new stadium should be managed by the City of Hamilton, the Katz group -- the company of Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz, which has expressed interest in operating the Pan Am stadium -- the Tiger-Cats and "perhaps others."

Rakovac could not be reached for comment about his proposal.

David Adames, the city's Pan Am point person, said he has met with Rakovac and the man brought "lots of enthusiasm" along with his ideas.

"We welcome creative ideas and get a lot of proposals and concepts about the stadium. This one is a little more developed than others."

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats, facing the prospect of an 0-3 start, used a series of clock-eating, yardage-killing drives to avenge a season-opening loss with a 28-7 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last night at Ivor Wynne Stadium.

Quarterback Kevin Glenn was ruthlessly accurate, completing more than 80 per cent of his passes -- including the first 14 straight -- on his way to a 340-yard, three-touchdown day. Receiver Dave Stala led the way with nine catches for 124 yards and Maurice Mann had two touchdown grabs.

"Everybody understood the ramifications of the game," Glenn said in a near-jubliant locker-room after the game. "Everybody knew we had to get this win."

The Ticat D contained Bombers' quarterback Buck Pierce and then drove him from the game in the third quarter after the last in a series of hard hits. Pierce finished with 119 yards on 10-for-19 passing and, perhaps more importantly, a big fat zero in the rushing column. Ticat linebacker Markeith Knowlton also had a key interception.

Redemption was evident elsewhere on the field. The offensive line, much maligned after giving up seven sacks in week one, gave up just one this time around.

The incident began as two cars were exiting a King Street East Tim Horton’s parking lot, across from the Hamilton police east end station around 8:20 a.m., said Sergeant Terri-Lynn Collings.

A 27-year-old man driving a Chevrolet Cavalier alleged that a 35-year-old man driving a Chrysler Intrepid cut him off, she said. They both drove westbound on King stopping beside each other at stop lights and yelling.

At Quigley Road the enraged 27-year-old stopped his car and pulled out a crowbar and started waving it around, Collings said. He had another male passenger in the car who also exited the vehicle.

Then the 35-year-old pulled out a carpeting tool from his vehicle, she said.

The Scottish Rite, Liuna Station and St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church on Locke Street are just three Hamilton locations for the $20-million to $25-million television production The Kennedys, starring Katie Holmes as first lady Jacqueline Kennedy.

The eight-hour miniseries is slated for broadcast on the U.S. History Channel next year.

It also stars Greg Kinnear as John F. Kennedy, Barry Pepper as Robert F. Kennedy and Tom Wilkinson as patriarch Joseph Kennedy Sr. The film covers the period 1960-1968, but features flashbacks to earlier years.

Filming was taking place this week at The Scottish Rite and Holmes -- the wife of Tom Cruise -- was on the set wearing a pink outfit with black lapels. This was the outfit the real Mrs. Kennedy was wearing in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, when her husband was assassinated in a motorcade by Lee Harvey Oswald.
