Since its 1947 inception, the Hockey News has been essential reading for hard-core fans. Ken McKenzie, its co-founder and long-time publisher, died in an Ontario hospital. His son, John, a New York-based correspondent with ABC News, wrote this tribute to his father and his achievements. Ken McKenzie--along with Will Cote--started the Hockey News in 1947, and the paper that came to be known as the bible of hockey. After the Second World War, Ken, who grew up in Winnipeg, moved to Montreal, where he got a job as a sportswriter for the Gazette. Within months, he approached the president of the National Hockey League, Clarence Campbell, and suggested that the league needed a full-time publicity director. Campbell gave him the job, and more. For Ken, whose father had died in his early 50s, Campbell became a surrogate parent. Campbell supported my father's dream of starting a newspaper devoted exclusively to hockey. There is a picture of my father taken at his induction in the Hockey Hall of Fame, which shows him at the podium, arms outstretched, fists clenched, wearing this big, beautiful smile.

The use of fiber-reinforced composite materials for the construction and rehabilitation of civil engineering structures is relatively new. Structural members are routinely joined by bolted connections. Bolted connections are relatively easy to assemble and maintain, and are capable of transferring the high loads that typically occur in civil engineering structures. Currently there is a serious lack of knowledge on the behavior and design of bolted connections for fiber-reinforced composites. In light of this, a comprehensive experimental and analytical investigation was conducted at the University of Manitoba to study the behavior of bolted connections in composite materials appropriate for civil engineering applications. A total of 102 single-bolt connections were tested up to failure. The various parameters investigated were the width of the structural member, the edge distance, the thickness, and the direction of the fibers with respect to the applied load. The experimental program also included comprehensive material testing to determine the various in-plane material properties. This paper discusses the experimental program, test results, and various modes of failure as affected by the foregoing parameters. From the test results an analytical model and design procedure were developed as proposed in a companion paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The housing difficulties facing many low income Canadians today is well documented. For newcomers, and particularly refugees, these challenges may be amplified. This paper considers the influence of legal status and place in the housing outcomes of government-assisted refugees and refugee claimants in Vancouver, BC and Winnipeg, MB. Results from the study indicate that while claimants in Vancouver face a more difficult 'pathway to permanent housing' than do government-assisted refugees, the same is not true in Winnipeg. More alarmingly, certain refugee groups face barriers beyond legal status and place, owing to characteristics of the group itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: An extensive research project is currently being carried out at the University of Manitoba, Canada, involving the development of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) wind turbine towers. The towers consist of multi-cell segments, each segment constructed from eight filament wound cells jointed together with resin applied over their interface. The present paper mainly addresses the static and dynamic characteristics, such as failure static loads, modes of failure, fundamental frequencies and periods of such segmented composite towers. Both experimental and numerical results are presented. The experimental investigation involved the testing of two jointed scaled towers. These specimens had a total height of 4.88-m (16-ft) and were tested as cantilevers under static and dynamic loading. The testing was conducted at the W.R. McQuade Structural Engineering Laboratory of the University of Manitoba. Finally, finite element models were developed to analyze the structural behavior, static and dynamic, of single and multi-cell composite segments and towers. The results from the finite element models under static loading were validated through comparison with the experimental results. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Background: research has reliably demonstrated cardioprotection from regular alcohol use. Heavy episodic drinking (HED), however, negates these beneficial effects and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The impact of age on the health effects of episodic drinking has not been evaluated. Objective: to examine the association between alcohol volume and pattern of consumption on the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality across the lifespan. Design and Setting: prospective, community-based cohort study of adults in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Subjects: a total of 1,154 participants (580 men and 574 women) aged 18-64 surveyed at baseline (1990-91) on alcohol consumption levels and pattern of use. Methods: usual alcohol consumption was measured using a quantity-frequency approach. HED was estimated by asking participants how often they consumed eight or more drinks in one sitting in the past year. Questions were asked separately for wine, beer and spirits. Surveillance for cardiovascular events was conducted for 10 years (i.e. up to age 74 years). Diagnoses of CVD were obtained via health utilization records. Cox proportional hazard models were derived for both genders and for `young adults' (baseline age 18-34), `middle-aged adults' (baseline age 35-49) and `older adults' (baseline 50-64). Models were adjusted for marital status, cigarette smoking status and educational level. Results: Reduced risk of CVD was associated with usual consumption, whereas an increased risk was associated with RED. Among male usual drinkers, cardioprotection was afforded only to middle and older age groups. The benefits of regular consumption were seen only in the youngest age group among women. The heaviest usual consumption category was associated with a decreased risk of CVD in men. Heavy episodic drinking increased the risk of coronary heart disease in middle-aged men and was marginally significant in middle-aged women. Risk of hypertension was elevated in older men with heavy episodic drinking. Conclusions: The well-established relationship between regular alcohol consumption and decreased risk of CVD may not become evident until middle age or older in men. Women may benefit from usual consumption at a much younger age. In both sexes, however, these beneficial effects of alcohol use are negated when alcohol is consumed in a heavy episodic drinking pattern, particularly for middle-aged and older men.

EMIGRATION & immigration ,JEWS - Abstract
This article reports on the relocation of Jewish families from Buenos Aires to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Winnipeg is the buzz around Jewish circles in Buenos Aires these days. The reason is GrowWinnipeg, a community project started back in 1996 that aims to renew the city's aging and shrinking Jewish population by bringing in young families from abroad. While the project and the city it serves were previously little-known in Argentina, all that changed when the economy collapsed in December 2001 and people began looking for a way out. In stark contrast to Buenos Aires, the Manitoba capital offers relative peace and quiet in a stable political and economic environment. With Winnipeg's more intimate Jewish community, many of the families have found themselves more involved in community life than they had been in Buenos Aires.

SALE of business enterprises ,CHIEF executive officers ,DEPARTMENT stores ,BUSINESS failures - Abstract
The article profiles Gendis Inc. chief executive officer Albert Cohen. More than half a century after opening its first Saan store, Gendis Inc. is finally exiting the retail business. The Winnipeg-based company announced July 9 it has signed an agreement to sell the junior department store chain to investors, headed by Avalon Group of New York, for an undisclosed amount. Saan interim-president James Cohen, son of Gendis founder Albert Cohen (a hale 90-year-old who came out of retirement in 2002 to take over again as Gendis president and CEO), admits there is an "emotional attachment" to the business, but it's easy to understand why he's selling the chain, which has 240 stores coast-to-coast under the Saan and Red Apple Clearance Centre banners. The division has been losing money in recent years--$23 million since it posted its last profit, a modest $2.2 million for the year ended January 2002. That's despite closing underperforming stores and opening new concept stores that focus on clothing and footwear. Among the reasons for Saan's troubles is increasing competition from the likes of Wal-Mart, Zellers and Giant Tiger, the latter a successful retailer in small-town Canada, where Saan is also a fixture. Founder Albert Cohen has described Saan as "one of my babies." His hope undoubtedly is that, with new parents, the retail child he brought into the world will be around long after he's gone.

The article focuses on Winnipeg, Manitoba and its mayor Glen Murray. In a national poll, Winnipeg ranked last of seven cities as a fun place to be. In the business section was a Canada West Foundation study showing Winnipeg has the worst "infrastructure deficit" of any city in Western Canada. By one modest measure it is spending $188 million less every year than it needs to spend on its streets and parks and drains. Murray is spending his autumn selling a "New Deal" for Winnipeg, a soup-to-nuts overhaul of the city's tax system. It is compatible with his friend Paul Martin's proposed "New Deal" for Canada's cities, an orderly transfer of federal cash into local coffers.
