Stephenson, who has been credited as Winston Churchill's wartime master spy, grew up in Point Douglas, not far from the corner of Main Street and the renamed road where Deputy Mayor Justin Swandel and a host of dignitaries will gather for the ceremony. He also assisted in the organization of America's wartime intelligence operation, the Office of Strategic Services -- forerunner of the CIA -- whose head, Maj. Gen. William J. 'Wild Bill' Donovan, later said: "Bill Stephenson taught us all we ever knew about foreign intelligence.
When he was at Dieppe, I was at Grand Beach with my mom and dad," recalled [Peggy Moore], who figured [Bill] was safely in England during the raid. A week later, one of those terrifying telegrams arrived, the ones that always began with: "We regret to inform you.... "My brother was killed half a mile from me," said Bill, who only learned about his brother's death when Peggy told him weeks later in a letter. Peggy lost her own brother to the depths of the North Sea, a 19-year-old gone forever. Peggy says the government was not kind to veterans in the late 1940s: "They wouldn't admit he had any medical problems. Both his eardrums had burst."

It doesn't sound like much but a year later when we tallied our annual heating bill, we were surprised to find that we saved $300 over the previous year. That's a considerable amount for a weekend's work and less than $100 in materials. Jeff Beckman, marketing specialist for Manitoba Hydro's residential program, says many homeowners, like myself, don't realize that minor improvements can lead to big savings. * If your furnace is more than 15 years old then it is likely reaching the end of its life expectancy and is not very efficient. Older standard-efficient furnaces are about 50 per cent efficient while today's Energy Star High Efficient natural gas furnace is 90 to 98 per cent efficient.
To woo disapproving Calgarians, city officials waved a chart which shows that the new bridge costs $30,400 per square metre as compared to $50,000 for Winnipeg's Esplanade Riel. The citizens remained stubbornly unconvinced (they don't like to compare Calgary's civic costs to Winnipeg's unless it's in their interest to do so, such as when they cite Winnipeg's snow-clearing budget to show that Calgary's own is pathetic). If the bridge design caused tempers to flare, the public's blood pressure had spiked before that, when the Calgary Herald obtained documents revealing the intriguing ways in which aldermen spent part of their office budgets last year. The tally came to $4,014 for 11 aldermen's drycleaning bills, $70 for [Andre Chabot]'s golf lesson, $13,600 on building personal websites, ...

Getting authentic German beer shipped to Brandon in time for the annual Lieutenant Governor's Winter Festival later this month has been a struggle for organizers. Bill Gould, president of WETT Sales and Distribution said that part of the challenge of transporting beer from Germany to Canada is the time of year.
Australian author and feminist Dale Spender once described [John Howard] as a man who wanted Australia to be the way it was in the 1950s where the wife "didn't move past the front door. [Bill Heffernan], a plain-talking farmer from rural New South Wales, later apologized but has been on the record saying anyone who doesn't have children doesn't really understand what "life is all about." [Julia Gillard] played down her first day as the nation's most powerful politician, telling the Brisbane-based The Courier Mail she didn't feel the need to give "a little speech" as power was officially transferred to her.
For many years, the PUB has focused its regulatory oversight of Manitoba Hydro's gas delivery service on preventing householders from being directly affected by volatile wholesale market prices for gas. The PUB has ordered prices smoothed using financial averaging methods. In its last major decision on gas rates, the PUB decided that charging customers the real price for the energy they were consuming would constitute "rate shock" that "would have a deleterious effect on all residential customers. Paradoxically, the regulatory trap was created by the Public Utilities Board following the advice of the Manitoba branch of Consumers' Association of Canada and the Manitoba Society of Seniors but over the objections of the marketers who, to their credit, have steadfastly advocated before the...

I told her she could be one of the oldest people in Canada and she said, 'That's nothing to be proud of!'" says her granddaughter Linda Bostick, 60. The first are the "genetically well endowed" who come from long-lived families and reach 100 remarkably healthy because they simply don't get diseases such as cancer and heart disease. This group defies the notion that people only get sicker as they age and offers living proof that "the older you get, the healthier you've been," according to the New England study. The second group of centenarians eventually develops life-limiting diseases but their internal clocks delay the onset a decade or two later than most people's, Dr. [Bill Dalziel] says. "These are people who have great biological clocks, and their clock is set for 110 where yours...
My transportation loan is almost $5,000," Nada said. "I can't pay the whole amount during the three years. Is there any way I can repay this for a longer time? Nada was sponsored by her sister and arrived in Winnipeg in September last year. Six months later, this month, she received her first transportation loan bill. "I was shocked to see the bill and the time frame to repay my loan as well as the interest rate if I do not pay it within the period of three years," she said. In some special situations like Nada's, however, it is quite hard to repay within the period of three years. She has to focus on her resettlement needs first: attending language classes, finding employment once her sponsorship is over and, meanwhile, taking care of her children's needs. She will not be able to re...
