Eviction Threat
- By
Charles McGregor
Virgil
Knapp said it for the family. His rangy, six-foot eight body
is stretched out in a chair on the back deck of this
100-year-old house, dog Cody resting motionless in the late
afternoon heat and oppressive humidity. Angela, his mother,
sits beside him, father Wesley sits opposite as the
24-year-old, looking evenly, steadily into the middle
distance where the neighbouring farmer loads bales of hay.
He then says, very softly, “This is home, this is the
building I was born in. I’ve lived my whole life here.”

Press Release from
International Air Transport Association (IATA)
May 4, 2004
Read their scathing report on the GTAA.
Including... "The
airport's continued capital expenditure based on inflated
traffic forecasts will only exacerbate the situation in the
coming years," said Mackay.
And...
"...its mistakes and miscalculations..."
And...
"...the GTAA's
ill-conceived business and expansion plans must be reviewed
against the current air transport business environment."
