The Winnipeg Airports Authority plans to knock down the airport's existing glass-and-steel passenger terminal, which architects consider a rare example of mid-20th-century modern design, when the airport's new passenger terminal opens later this year. The airport is in the midst of a $672-million expansion that includes a passenger terminal designed by Cesar Pelli, whose credits include the Petronas Towers in Malaysia. The Winnipeg Airports Authority decided to demolish the existing terminal after a request for proposals to reuse the building failed to yield a single plan. Last year, the WAA cancelled plans to assess the historic and artistic value of the terminal after the private corporation learned it was not subject to rules that require federally owned buildings to undergo heritage...
Two long-suffering women are at the core of [Naipaul]'s life, his late wife Pat and his mistress Margaret -- at least until a third woman surfaces in the terminal year of French's bio, 1996, when Naipaul was 64. (Why French arbitrarily stopped there is unclear.) When Pat died, Margaret, naturally, thought she'd finally become the new Lady Naipaul (Naipaul was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1990, thus becoming Sir Vidia). American writer Paul Theroux's celebrated feud with Naipaul also surfaces in this volume. In 1998 Theroux published Sir Vidia's Shadow, an unflattering portrait of the rise, decline and fall of his friendship with Naipaul.
The initial response is, this is a huge invasion of privacy," Winnipeg lawyer and privacy expert Brian Bowman said. "People are just aghast. There are very few things (more personal) than your naked self when it comes to privacy. What is not known is whether the installation of the scanners will be delayed in Winnipeg to coincide with the completion of the new airport terminal later this year. [John Baird]'s announcement came one day after the U.S. Transportation Security Administration directed airlines, effective Monday, to give full-body, pat-down searches to U.S.-bound travellers from Yemen, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and 11 other countries. For the moment, it doesn't matter. Soon the full-body scanners will be a normal part of air travel and will likely replace metal detectors and the ...

The marketing campaign is also being run on two websites, the WAA's site (waa.ca) and James2010.ca. In addition to arrival and departure information, the first site -- geared to the 35-plus crowd -- features pictures of construction and diagrams of the building. The latter, which targets the younger demographic, is blog-based. [Barry Rempel] said James2010.ca is a key element of the strategy because it's speaking to future frequent flyers. He said since its launch in January, James2010.ca has had 110,000 distinct hits from surfers in 75 countries. Rempel said he's optimistic the construction of the new terminal building will be completed before the end of next year, giving the WAA some time to test systems prior to going live. Even with labour and materials costs rising steadily over th...

We welcome anything they want to do to make things safer," said Lynne West, while she waited in a line that snaked to an Air Canada check in counter in Toronto's Terminal 1 . "It's probably the safest day of the year to fly," she added. At the Winnipeg airport, the Tim Horton's outlet posted the "Increased Security Measures" notice on its counter to let airplane passengers know they can't board with a coffee to go. "It's a big deal," said a Winnipeg employee at AerRianta, which has duty free shops in airports including Winnipeg's and Edmonton's. Big sellers like designer perfume and liquor are verboten on flights to London. "We have one flight from Winnipeg and four from Edmonton tonight. "About all we can sell is T-shirts and cigarettes.
So, before Christmas in late December of 1946, with $10,000 of his own money and $75,000 borrowed against his name, [] began his car rental business: Avis Airlines Rent-a-Car System. The company was the world's first car rental operation located inside the boundaries of an airport. Almost simultaneously, an Avis location opened at Miami International Airport, then the country's busiest rent-a-car market. Avis expanded his business at a steady pace primarily by licensing local independent operators to do business under the Avis name at airports. New York, Chicago, Dallas, Washington, Los Angeles and Houston soon joined the Avis System. The company continued to change ownership through the 1970s and '80s, becoming employee-owned in 1987. That same year, Avis introduced the Rov...

Dr. Robert Stark reviewed Sheilah Roy's surgical biopsies in March 1997 and determined she had aggressive pancreatic cancer. According to court documents, Stark did not consult any of his colleagues about Roy's complicated case, despite being aware of the difficulties in distinguishing pancreatic cancer from pancreatitis -- a chronic inflammation of the organ. In a statement of claim, Roy said she was initially told she was terminal and had one year to live. After Stark's diagnosis, Roy's physician, Dr. Jeremy Lipschitz, prescribed intensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy for Roy's cancer along with surgery to remove portions of her pancreas. Less than a year later, Lipschitz asked Stark to review his diagnosis. In a letter dated Feb. 16, 1998, Stark told Lipschitz that Roy's original ti...
