This was where the corn theme came along, Dubé added.Aboriginal peoples were the first to cultivate corn, a crop that didn’t exist in Europe until settlers brought it back.By drawing upon the ideas of

that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific and to the Arctic.The town and the local St.Lawrence and Atlantic railway propose to build the line on one half of the trail and install a fence to separate hikers and cyclists from the train cars.Opponents of the plan have argued the line will create noise, pollution and traffic jams in town and discourage hikers and cyclists from using the remaining half of the trail.The line’s link to the main line near the former station could also disrupt business at a restaurant and hotel which now use the station building.The town and the railway argue the inter modal system is needed to attract industries to Richmond and other parts of the St.Francis Valley.They believe the industries will be attracted by the system, which will ease the transportation of their merchandise to far-away clients.The new industries and the inter modal station will also create permanent jobs in town, they say.Martin said the system will cost over $1 million to build and require the town to borrow $400,000 for infrastructure work.“The railway belongs to the town, so we will be obliged to put in our share for the costs,” he said.“We will also get money from the provincial and federal governments under their shared infrastructure grant program.We do not know how much money that will be, but the two governments have assured us we are eligible.Lafleur said the date and time of the public hearings will be announced next week.Familiar Sight Total sales: $12,202,060 Next grand prize (approx.): $2,000,000 w Draw 2003-08-23 02 19 25 2Z

Philipsburg church mm t%: CAROLINE KEHNE/CORRESPONDENT This spectacular stained glass window was among the items stolen from the church.mjjmm Missing treasures include historical items By Caroline Kehne @pl:Record Correspondent Philipsburg Last Wednesday night, thieves entered St.Paul’s Anglican Church in Philipsburg and removed church treasures estimated at more $30,000.The missing objects include a carved eagle lectern, central stained glass window and other portable items, many of which, according to church rector Brian Evans, have as much historical as monetary value.“For as long as anyone can remember, the church has been unlocked, 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week,” says Reverend Evans, rector of St.Paul’s for the last 15 months.Local residents were free to enter at will for a quiet moment of solitude in the tranquil sanctuary, entering by the unlocked side door.Evans says that as a result of the break-in, he has been forced to do what many churches, including the neighbouring Anglican parishes of Farnham and Bedford, have already done: lock the church when not in use.Rev.Evans said Saturday he believes that the break-in occurred some time late Wednesday night.At noon the following day, he received a phone call from glazier John Newton, who had arrived to continue repair work on the central stained glass altar panel.Newton had removed the panel, which features the verse from the St.Matthew’s Gospel, “Let the children come unto me,” from its exterior frame to repair the lead joints and discovered it missing from his workbench.Evans notes that without the frame for support, the window is extremely fragile and likely to be damaged in transport.“Every day, I find something else missing,” says Evans.Thus far, he has identified over 30 missing objects in addition to the stained glass altar window and eagle lectern, including memorial wall plagues, four candlesticks, a server’s chair, a prayer kneeler, the lectern Bible, collection plates, urns, a chalice, wafer boxes and glass.The thieves appear to have come prepared for the job, equipped with wire cutters to snip through wires connected to a thermostat mounted on the missing lectern.Only the altar and organ remain.In a fortunate twist, all of the church’s treasures had been photographed about ten days prior to the theft by representatives of the provincial Religious Heritage Foundation as part of an ongoing restoration project.Some of the objects also have engraved inscriptions, which would make them easily identifiable if they come up for sale in the legitimate art or antique market.Although the missing objects are insured, some were donated in the name of town residents and thus, have historical and sentimental value beyond the monetary value of the losses.The stolen stained glass panel, the work of Montreal craftsman John Spence, was donated in memory of Reverend Hugh Montgomery, a member of a family with deep roots in the Missisquoi Bay community.The panel, donated in 1892 for installation in an earlier church, was removed and reinstalled in the present brick church five years later.(The dedication panel, which had not been removed to the workbench, remains in place, as do the two other altar panels.) Evans said that in the weeks prior to the break-in, the church had some suspicious visitors, including a couple of young men in their late 20s who looked around and left, and a second unidentified man and woman who entered the church during the service and left prior to the end.He holds out hope that the perpetrators were local and says that if all of the objects are returned undamaged, he will not press for police action.Anyone with information regarding the theft is urged to contact Corporal Christian Gagné of the Sûreté du Québec at (450) 266-1122.Husk: Cont’d from Page 1 In addition to Stavert, Husk’s legal actions were also addressed to diocesan chancellor David Blair, treasurer Rev.Rodney Clark and accounting firm Price Waterhouse Coopers.Husk said at the time of the injunctions, he was concerned about legal claims against the Anglican Church by Canadian natives abused in church-run residential schools.Husk feared the claims could drain the church of funds and force parishes across Canada to recoup the losses by emptying congregational funds and selling assets such as churches, rectories and cemeteries.Husk’s injunctions and resistance by the Diocese to respond to his queries, caused rancor and division within the parishes of the Diocese, especially those in the Eastern Townships.It resulted in the firing of the archdeacon for the St.Francis deanery, Rev.Lynn Ross and the withdrawal of ministerial privileges from retired minister Rev.Keith Perry- Gore through the use of a precedent-setting ecclesiastical court.The Diocese was later sued by both ministers for damages.The rift also upset many church members who were forced by the Diocese to pay an extra tax to cover its legal costs.Husk’s injunctions were challenged in court by Diocesan lawyer Serge Bel-leau, who argued Husk had no legal interest in the matters and that the St.George’s parish corporation that he represented was not recognized by the Diocese.In October, 2001, Belleau asked Justice Blondin to have the injunctions thrown out.On Aug.15, after some 22 months of deliberations, Blondin rejected Belleau’s request.In her 16-page decision, Blondin said the parish corporation had been active for close to 150 years and had been recognized by the Quebec Diocese for a similar amount of time.Despite later changes to the roles of the church wardens of the Anglican churches, Blondin used excerpts from church cannons to argue the wardens of the parish corporation still had a duty to represent parish interests.“The duties of the office have been, to some degree, modified by the action of recent legislation, and hence some of its responsibilities lie dormant,” read one excerpt.“But church wardens are still the true represen- tatives of the laity of their parishes in all ecclesiastical matters, both as regards rights and responsibilities.” Blondin went on to quote other cannon excerpts to show that church wardens, along with the parish minister, “shall constitute a corporation for the purpose of managing the property belonging to the Church or congregation.” In so recognizing the legal status of the corporations, Blondin also recognized Husk’s right to challenge diocesan actions through his injunctions.The Record was unable to contact those involved in the court action for comment at press time.Individual -

JŒCORD: Monday, Aügust 25, 2003 t»AGE 5 Railway vows to keep speed limits low By Debbie Tacium Ladry Record Correspondent It’s been two years since the abandoned railway between Sherbrooke and East Broughton, in the Beauce, was revived by the Quebec Central company.So far, no accidents have occurred (in railway lingo, these are not referred to as “accidents” - they are called “tragedies”), but the potential is always there.This was heartbreakingly illustrated by the recent accident in Bury when a woman and her car were incinerated after colliding with a passing tram - not one of the Quebec Central fleet, however.Jean-Marc Giguère is the owner of Quebec Central.“As long as I’m alive,” he says, “our trains won’t go over 20 mph (33 km/h).I learned as a young boy that speed kills, and I’d rather pay the additional man-hours and go to sleep at night knowing that I haven’t killed or hurt anyone.” Giguère’s railway transport company owns the railway line between Sherbrooke and East Broughton, St-Georges-de Beauce and Quebec City, as well as the line which goes all the way to Lac Frontière near the Maine border.He's also owner of Marco Express, a trucking company whose reach extends all the way to California.These activities give him a unique perspective on the various problems associated with transporting merchandise across North America.In addition to transporting merchandise, the Quebec Central lines host trains that shuttle tourists to various sites in the Haut-St-François region such as the Dudswell centre, East Angus’ La Vieille Gare du Papier, and Lac Aylmer’s attractions at the eastern edge of the Townships.In so doing, Quebec Central has revived a line that was abandoned for 10 years and is contributing to developments in this region’s economy.This is where Father Donald Thompson comes in.Thompson is a priest, but functions as railway engineer with Quebec Central.Recently, he was spotted just off Highway 112 beside the rail line, near Lac Aylmer, transferring control of a freight train returning from East Angus to the engineer charged with its transport back to East Broughton.He graciously offered to recap his two years of experience with the Quebec Central line with regard to public safety.“For several years, people were using the railway tracks for walking, riding ATVs, skidoos, cross-country skis, you name it.People need to refamiliarize themselves with a working rail line: from now on, trains will pass by.It’s the safest means of transport there is, but people need to get used to its presence again.” Thompson has an obvious passion for trains, but it doesn’t supersede his concern for pedestrians - especially children.“People who try to challenge us with their cars (trying to pass in front of the train) - that drives a railway engi- mm» ’ s V* page 18 Monday, August 25, 2003 ci Ci o ci Ci ôooooo Sports Notebook Alonso wins Hungarian GP Spain’s Fernando Alonso won the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday to

of the game succumbs to cancer.The event, obviously has affected Bobby’s son Barry, as he has taken an indefinite leave of absence from his outfielder job with the San Francisco Giants to mourn his passing.But the talk across North America by columnists and sports radio talking heads has been more on son Barry, and his popularity within the media and fans alike.I don’t like Barry Bonds, that’s no surprise to anyone who knows me.In fact, I loathe Barry Bonds.1 didn’t want Barry to break Mark McGuire’s record of 70 homers in a season and I don’t want him to break Hank Aaron’s all-time homerun record.But why is that, and why do so many others around the globe have the hate on for big Barry Bonds?He has never had any legal problems outside of the game, and although his forehead has grown 300 per cent since his early years with the Pittsburgh Pirates, nobody has any proof that Barry has ever taken a drug in his life.But Barry is aggressive, cocky and is argumentative with the media.He doesn’t give interviews, doesn’t get along with teammates in the locker room and generally appears as a loathsome human being.The public, it seems, would rather have someone at least be nice publicly and put up a facade regardless of their private life.People loved O.J.when he was smiling for cameras and shilling Hertz rent a cars to a demanding public, regardless of the fact his private life was such a mess.People want humility from their superstars: you can be the best but don’t you dare say it.Shifting gears.In Montreal on Saturday there was a definite buzz around the Old Port, one of the most heavily visited tourist destinations in the city.Posters for this week- ends CART race were everywhere and the smell of gasoline was definitely in the air.Hopefully, Norman Legault, head of the FI in Montreal, will put on his best display of salesmanship to Bemie and the boys, and get Montreal back on the FI schedule for, at the very least, 2005.Could there be a worse sport than FI, a sport that would rather put a race in China, a country that will push tobacco and has some of the worst civil rights problems in the world, rather than a proven hot spot like Montreal.Pointless preseason The preseason in the NFL is almost over, thank God, and if you are one of the few select teams who got through it injury free, you can breathe a sigh of relief.You can’t win the Super Bowl by going undefeated in the preseason, but you sure can lose it when Michael Vick breaks his tibia in a meaningless first quarter of a meaningless game.Now the Falcons are behind the eight ball for the first four weeks of the season, relying on a quarterback who didn’t even win the starters job outright in Florida when he.played university ball.I was in New York last week, and had the chance to watch preseason football between the Giants and Carolina Panthers, and after the first half of the first quarter was over, and the first team offence and defence left the game, it was Tiger Cat football time.That’s not quite Gigli bad (where you wouldn’t pay to see it, ever) but bad enough that if you were watching it on television you would be wondering in the back of your mind if a Will and Grace rerun was on.Scott McLean Bonds a legend before his son By Mike Hickey Special to the Record While Bobby Bond’s stats do not match those of his son, the elder Bonds was an exceptional player who excelled at every aspect of the game.He was one of the first major leaguers to blend home-run power with base-stealing speed, hitting 30 home runs and stealing 30 bases in the same season on five separate occasions.From his first game in which he hit a grand slam, Bonds played with passion determination and grace.He was a three-time league All-Star (capturing Most Valuable Player honours in the 1973 game), hit 332 home runs and stole 461 bases for the Giants, New York Yankees, California Angels, Chicago White Sox, Texas, Cleveland, St.Louis and the Chicago Cubs in a much traveled career.Bonds suffered for nearly a year with lung cancer and a brain tumor but managed to attend a game was at Pacific Bell Park on Wednesday night just three days before his death.Bonds played seven seasons with San Francisco, and he was with the organization for 23 seasons as a player, coach, scout and front-office employee.But beyond the stats he played with respect, for himself, his opponents and the game itself.In a time when baseball is saturated with personal stats, Bobby Bonds should be remembered as a team player who would do whatever it took to win.“It’s a very sad day, but I want to remember him the way he used to be, having a good time and making jokes,” said Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda, Bonds’ longtime friend and former teammate.“I’m happy that he’s resting in peace.” “I remember he was the best-looking runner I’ve ever seen,” Cepeda said.“Nobody stole second base as easily as Bobby Bonds.” Bonds spent his final years watching his son develop into one of baseball premier home run hitters.Barry Bonds, returned to the Giants after taking a week off to visit his father and promptly hit extra-inning, game-winning homers against Atlanta on Tuesday and Thursday.He rushed from the clubhouse after each blast to be with his father.“Maybe Bobby could have had Hall of Fame numbers and maybe he didn’t reach his potential, but Barry Bonds will always make people remember that name," Yankees manager Joe Torre said That’s probably true, but Bobby deserves to be remembered for his own accomplishments. : ¦¦¦THE —I - RECORD Monday, August 25, 2003 page 19 News and

Trials compounded bv tribulations By Phillip Alder • Last June, the secona stage of the United States Team Trial was held in Memphis, Tenn.The winners would represent the United States in the Bermuda Bowl world team championship, which begins November 2 in Monte Cario.(The first trial was contested in the same venue last year, when the winners were Nick Nickell -Dick Freeman, Jeff Meckstrotn - Eric Rodwell and Bob Hamman - Paul Soloway.) After five days of play, four teams re-mained.This deal, no.100 of 120, caused considerable controversy in the semifinal between Maicolm Brachman -Marc Jacobus, Eric Greco - Geoff Hamp-son and Mike Passed - Eddie Wold; and Roy Welland - Bjorn Fallenius, Steve Garner - Howard Weinstein.In the first room, Fallenius (North) and Welland stopped in four hearts after the given auction, missing an excellent slam.When the spade finesse worked, Welland won all 13 tricks: two spades, six hearts, one diamond, one club and three club ruffs in the dummy.In a tight match, this was a potential gain for Brachman.(Both teams bid six hearts in the other semifinal.) However, at the second table, the board was incorrectly marked with South as the dealer.After South had opened, an official noticed the error.Usually, boards come in sets of 32.But the American Contract Bridge League had produced sets of 120 (one for each table).And the person who did the labeling made one mistake.There was no option — the deal had to be thrown out and a substitute played.On that, the Welland team gained seven points — and won the match by five.Please overlook this flaw Dear Annie: My husband’s parents and I have a decent relationship.They live 4,000 miles away, so we try to keep things as pleasant as possible when they visit.My mother-in-law (I’ll call her Donna) is rather pushy, but she’s quite lovable, and I like her.However, for the past two years, she has been buying cards for us to give to other people.She bought a Father’s Day card for my husband to give to his dad.For my birthday, she bought a “For My Wife” card for my husband to give me.It doesn’t stop there.She’s given us cards to sign for our own child’s birthday.Last week, one of her friends passed away, and she selected a sympathy card for us to send to the family.We did not know this friend or her family.1 know this isn t a Pig deal, out it’s be come quite annoying.We have never tor-gotten birthdays or nolidays, and are perfectly capable of selecting our own cards.How do 1 get her to stop doing this?— Wife in Kentucicy Dear Wife: Mom probably spends a lot of time in the card shop.When she finds something useful, she believes she's doing you a favor by buying it on your behalf.Since she is otherwise “lovable,” please overlook this flaw.When she gives you a card, say “thanks,” and put it aside.Whether or not to use it is up to you.Dear Annie: 1 am a 65-year-old Annie’s Mailbox woman, and my boyfriend, “Oliver,” is 70.We have been living together in his home for the past 20 years.He’s made it clear that he has no interest in getting married.In all the years we’ve been together, Oliver has never taken me out to eat, nor does he spend any money on me.1 buy all of the groceries, clean the house, do the laundry and cook.The problem is, I am getting older, and I’m afraid if something happens to Oliver, I’ll be left out in the cold.The man is not poor.He has lots of money and owns a couple of houses, including the one we live in.He was kind enough to tell me that I can stay in his house as long as 1 want after he is gone, although it will legally belong to his children.He is leaving everything to his children.I thought he’d at least leave the house to me.I have invested a lot of years ana iove in this relationship, if he really loved me, shouldn’t he be concerned about how I will be cared for after he is gone?I have tried talking to him and even threatened to leave, but nothing changed.He still continues to be a tightwad.I actually hear him squeaking when he walks.This letter should open the eyes of couples who live together without committing to marriage.I feel like an old fool.— Imminent Bag Lady Dear Bag Lady: Talk to a lawyer about your legal rights and your financial situation.Have the lawyer put in writing that you can live in the house after Oliver dies.As it is, you help support Oliver in exchange for living rent-free.Only you can decide if the dubious pleasure of his company is worth your peace of mind.Dear Annie: I am tired of co-workers borrowing my daily newspaper.It costs only 50 cents.Why can't they buy their own?When 1 suggested to one person that we alternate buying the newspaper, he never asked to read it again, nor did he come back to my office.Was 1 wrong?— Annoyed in Ottawa, Ontario Dear Ottawa: No.Perhaps the office staff would be willing to chip in for a subscription to the Ottawa Sun that everyone could enjoy.If not, tell your coworkers you would be happy to give them your newspaper when you are finished with it.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Please e-mail your questions to anniesmail-box@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.Box 118190, Chicago, II.60611.To find out more about Annie's Mailbox, and read features by other Creators Syndicate writers and cartoonists, visit the Creators Syndicate Web page at www.creators.com.Nifty, Nifty Look Who’s 50 !!

Selfdoubts can be your biggest enemy today in achieving success in the business world.If you don’t believe in yourself or your abilities, why should anyone else believe in you?SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) -Don’t put all your eggs in one basket today.If you get caught off guard and experience confusion, you’ll have nothing left to fall back on.Alternate plans should be a necessity.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) -
