New Waterford robbery case

A Glace Bay man will go to trial at the end of January on robbery charges in connection with a holdup at a taxi company in New Waterford.

23 year old David Clifford MacLean-Devoe remains in custody on remand for now.  He and a co-accused are alleged to have robbed the cab company at knifepoint on October 25th.

CBU meeting

The Board of Governors at Cape Breton University meets today to vote on a tentative contract with the faculty association.

The Board will also discuss the situation with university president David Wheeler, apparently over the way he handled the contract negotiations.  Nobody is saying much about that.  Wheeler was placed on a paid leave pending the outcome of an independant investigation into what the board called governance issues.
