blast to divert police from St-Anicet Police are stilling searching for two suspects in connection with an August 2 armed robbery in St-Anicet and a bomb which exploded earlier in the parking area behind Ormstown\u2019s Barrie Memorial Hospital.A third suspect, captured in St-Zotique on the day of the incident, remains in custody in Valleyfield and will next appear in court on August 21.Some $100,000 in cash, taken at gunpoint from an armored car outside the St- Anicet Caisse Populaire in the 2 p.m.heist, was recovered.In piecing together evidence at the two sites, police believe the explosion ¢ of ; a home-made bomb under a minivan parked behind the Ormstown hospital was intended to divert regional police to that location while the robbery was carried out at the other end of the

the van\u2019s roof and sent pieces of shrapnel into nearby vehicles.Police from the Montreal-based SQ bomb disposal unit said it was fortunate that no one was in the vicinity at the time of the blast since the device was definitely capable of causing injury.Forty-five minutes later, the robbery of the Sécur armored vehicle outside the St- Anicet Caisse Populaire took place, when three armed men attacked two guards emerging from the building.The guards were forced to lie on the grounds while the thieves took a bag containing $100,000 and searched the van for more.Escape by boat After disabling the guards with pepper spray, the trio fled in a stolen van.Shortly afterward, they continued their escape by boat across Lake St-François to the St- Zotique area, where one suspect, 33 year- old Robert St-Onge of Longueuil, was arrested and a bag containing firearms, pepper spray and the stolen money was recovered.The other two suspects escaped using the boat, which was later found unoccupied and drifting in the Grand-lle area.Meanwhile, security precautions at the Barrie were increased immediately following the incident, just in case there as any connection between the hospital and the explosion other than the intended decoy operation.St-Onge, who has a lengthy criminal record, appeared in Valleyfield Court on Thursday Aug.3 to face a total of 11 charges in connection with the robbery, although none was related to the explosion.Bail was refused, and a hearing date of August 21 was set.(PLT) SQ officer Manon Gaignard indicates spot on the pavement where the bomb

nursery, 18 months to three years; three-year-olds; and four-year-olds.Once a child is accepted into the program, at whatever age, his or her place is guaranteed until kindergarten age is reached, at which point the child enters the regular education system.So a large group of infants moves up to become a large group of nursery-age children, and so on through the program, leaving little or no room for newcomers, Wilson explained.For the first time this fall, Quebec is including all the pre-school age groups in the $5-per-day subsidy program for day care.\u201cAfter starting with four-year-olds, the program moved down each year, with two-year-olds becoming eligible last year,\u201d said Wilson.\u201cNow it covers all the youngest children as well.\u201d Mrs Lise Poirier of St-Timothée received from Mr Denis Castagnier manager of Ameublement Maheu Inca 500$ gas certificate from the promotion \u201cÀ plein gaz\u201d initiated by: LE Here's the winner of 500° of gasoline MEUBLEUR _ \u201c478 chemin St-Louis St-Etienne de Beauharnois 450-429-4303 Local Development Centre in co-operation with community oi ve with the river, went off like clockwork on Sunday Aug.6.Balloons added to the festive atmosphere at the launch site below the Ormstown soccer field.Paddlers ended up at Ste-Martine after stops at Allan\u2019s Corners and the Turcot bridge.(Photo: PL) out on July 16 or the biggest such event held in this area each year.And in a good cause.IN HUNTINGDON \u2014 the 175th anniversary celebrations in late June included a pavement-art contest for kids.Some 20 young artists gathered on Dalhousie St.and gave the street a new face, temporarily at least.Judge John Ryan and Culture & Loisirs Hunting- don awarded prizes to the following: Line drawing: Kurt Mueller, Marie-Eve Caza, Gauthier;

Still, the rehearsals, the lights, the directing and the live audiences awakened the dormant ham in me.I finally called Andrea Kenyon, the honest customs-paying casting director, and followed her advice on putting together some demo tapes and finding an agent.Soon | was chugging off to Montreal every week to audition for commercials, television, print media, and the odd movie role.After some two dozen failed casting calls, I finally hit the little big time by winning a spot in a corporate video, which made me feel a bit like a Harrison Ford.or at least a Harrison Chrysler.I was selected to play a photographer in 1914 Paris, but was soon reminded of the fleeting nature of show-business success, however small.No make-up needed I arrived on the set and was fairly well- pampered betore being sent off to the dressing trailer to don my period clothes.Then I was escorted to the hair and make-up room.where a beautiful woman was being made even prettier for her role as my photo subject in the film.As they began working on me.a head- Maximizing your retirement income People used to live an average of 8 years in retirement.Today, you can expect fo live 20-30 years after you stop working.This means there is a very real risk of outliving your capital or not have enough money tocov- er cost - of - living increases.It makes more sense to allocate part of your money to the generation of day-to-day income and set aside the remaining money for growth.For example, say two-thirds of your portfolio-invested consevatively - would produce enough income to cover your basic living expenses.The remaining third could then be invested for growth over a longer period.Call me today, find out bow an allocation strategy cannin- crease returns, while mainain- ing risk at acceptable levels.RBC DOMINION SECURITIES Professional Wealth Management Canadian protection Investors founds MARIE-ANDRÉE (450) 373-4179 or 1-800-824-6052 Lu *This article is paid in part by Aim Funds Management Inc.FONDS g1144vv000800 set-wearing fellow with a clipboard came in, looked at me and said, \u201cHe doesn\u2019t need any make-up.\u201d This indication of almost perfect looks, of course, made me quite smug, until we were escorted out before the bright lights and ! was directed to my spot, behind an old tripod camera.\u201cNow put the camera cowl over your head and let's go,\u201d said the director.And there | stood, motionless, for two hours, as they filmed10 takes of my backside, and \u2014 in the distance \u2014 a very beautiful woman with great makeup.The director, though, did say that I stood there as well as anyone he\u2019d ever worked with.Thanks to my civil service background, perhaps.TV drama In the fall of 1999, I was scheduled to audition for the role of an Amsterdam police inspector in the ma- de-for-television movie Task Force Caviar.A little short of Dutch acquaintances to learn from, I was lucky enough to have a week-long run of tourists from the Netherlands at the border.So by the time of the audition.T had concocted at least a passable European sound.I also rationalized that never did the script actually say that the inspector himself was Dutch.He might.I decided.have moved to Holland from Estonia.When director Richard Ciupka selected me to play Jon Engelsman.I was twice whisked off to Halifax.where 1 found things to be pretty much like our town's Shoestring Theatre, except for the pay.the limousines.the personalized dressing rooms.the crowds.the technical wizardry, and the exactitude.I mean.it was still acting.Robert Jadah.In my first-ever movie scene, I sat at a bar and talked about some people.Hell, I'd been rehearsing that for years.And in my second-ever scene, I appeared with actor Clarke Johnson, whose Meldrick character in TV's Homicide: Life on the Street had long been a part of my Fridays.So nothing seemed too extraordinary.Back to real life After returning to real life, | went back to the comparative drudgery of weekly auditions and the Shoestring Theatre.I've done some little paying bits here and there \u2014 notably multi-media website voices - but continue to perform in my long-running customs role.As they say.don't give up your day job.And now, my wife Katie and | are expecting a new baby any day, which means I have two major productions appearing at about the same time.And 1 had a small part in both of them.Needs.Accounting Automobile Mechanics Business Technologies Hairdressing Interior Decorating and Display Residential and Commercial Drafting Starting a Small Business Welding & Fitting High Pressure Pipe Welding Accounting Construction Carpentry Landscaping Starting a Small Business program.Nova Career Centre 214, McLeod, Châteauguay Tel: (450) 691-2540 Fax: (450) 691-0643 Our Goal is to Train YOU in a New and Exciting Career!

Therefore, questions must be asked: Were the stone wall and trees within the road allowance, or were they further in from the road and thus the property owner's business ?Hard to say when all the evidence is gone.If they were within the allowance then the mayor was not honest with the citizens.If they were not in the allowance why was the township removing it for a private property owner?Either way, this action was inexcusable and provocative.It is regretable that a citizen has to take the town to court because it has allegedly not followed proper procedures with regard to project planning.The governors of Hinchinbrooke have lost credibility with citizens who care about conservation.The sad commentary in all of this is not that there are \u201ccamps\u201d or divisions between groups, as a recent Gleaner editorial suggested, but rather that those who are elected and have the machinery and manpower at their disposal can, for now, do as they want with impunity.Evidently, little in their path is safe.It is a sad state of affairs indeed.David Duchow Hincbinbrooke 150 gather at Ormstown to mark H.Kerr's 90 years Summer is the time for family gatherings, and Saturday July 19 saw Harold Kerr's family and friends gather at the Ormstown Curling Club to help him mark his 90th birthday.Celebrations began in early afternoon with the arrival of Harold's four children and their spouses, grandchildren, his sisters and many members of his extended family from Dover, England; Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, New York, British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario as well as the Ormstown area.In all, about 150 family members attended.During the afternoon, Harold's son Norman, acting as Master of Ceremonies, gave a brief account of Harold\u2019s 90 years as a family man and active community member.Two of Harold's sisters, Janet and Florence, shared their reminiscences and presented Harold with an award for 72 years of safe driving: a CD/cassette player and some of his favorite music.Family history This branch of the Kerr family also took time to recall their ancestors\u2019 arrival in the Chateauguay Valley 175 years ago.Harold's niece Heather Moon, who had helped prepare the Kerr family genealogy, told of William and Mary Kerr leaving Beith, Ayrshire, Scotland in 1825 by sailing ship for the seven-week voyage to Montreal.The couple then went up the Chateauguay and cleared land on the Scotch Concession, helping to build the churches and schools and establish toady\u2019s community.Wanda Goundry entertained with traditional bagpipe music while Jean Brocklehurst and helpers prepared a cold buffet.Later in the evening, Lindsay Cullen and the Ormstown Band played lively dance music, and more friends and neighbors came to join in the dancing and visiting.The evening was topped off with refreshments and a very large birthday cake.Harold was most grateful to everyone who came from near and far to help him celebrate, and also to those who sent best wishes by mail.i (FB/jt) pa ms + - \u201d Community & Local seniors can learn more about how to use medications in St-Chrysostome (450-826-3161, or 1-
