Ryckman, holding a knife, was on the floor with the man as he pleaded for his life, Ms. St-Pierre testified. Ms. St-Pierre said she did not see Mr. Ryckman stab Mr.

Taylor. During much of yesterday, defence lawyer Jean Legault questioned Ms. St-Pierre on her testimony from the trial of Mr. Langevin and other hearings, contending that the woman has given different stories. Ms.

St-Pierre this week said that Mr. Ryckman had wrapped Mr. Taylor's body in a blanket after he was stabbed. Mr. Legault suggested that previously, Ms.

Legault testified that she never saw Mr. Ryckman do that. "Yes, I agree it's different, but I'm probably mixed up," the woman said. Mr. Legault later suggested that it was Ms.

St-Pierre's idea to put the bloodied clothes of Mr. Langevin and Mr. Ryckman in a garbage bag. "It was Robbie who said get a garbage bag," Ms. St-Pierre asserted.

The exchanges between the defence lawyer and the woman were at times sharp, and Ms. St-Pierre twice told Mr. Legault, "This is not over." The trial continues today. BY PETER HUM A murderer's ex-wife admitted yesterday that she had lied in giving earlier court testimony. At the beginning of a day-long cross-examination, Annette St-Pierre stated that she had not been truthful when discussing her sexual past.

St-Pierre and Mr. Taylor, a 23-year-old transient, was stabbed to death in the kitchen of her King Edward Avenue apartment. Ms. St-Pierre has testified that before the murder, her husband and Mr. Ryckman, a recovering cocaine addict, spoke of selling drugs together in the Byward Market.

ANOTHER BEATITUDE Blessed are they who understand my faltering step and shaking hand, Blessed, who know my ears today must strain to catch the things they say, Blessed are they who seem to know my eyes are dim and my mind is slow, Blessed are those who looked away, I spilled my tea on the cloth that day! Blessed are they who, with cheery smile, stopped to chat for a little while, Blessed are they who know the way to bring back memories of yesterday, Blessed are they who never say, "you've told that story twice today!" Blessed are they who make it known that I'm loved, respected and not alone, And blessed are those who will ease the days of my journey home, in loving ways. by Elizabeth Clark HAPPY 80th Birthday Prendergast Nancy Wishing you all the best on this special day and throughout the years to come. Love, from your family. If you need funding for a project to help Canada mark the new millennium, consider hitting up the Canadian government. Deputy Prime Minister Herb Gray announced the details of the Millennium Partnership Project this week, designed to help Canadians ring in the new millennium in style.

About $150 million is up for grabs and will be distributed evenly every year for the next three years. "Partnership is what we look forward to doing. Working with local community committees and organizations as well as national organizations that have projects that will have local impact," said Mr. Gray "I hope it will support projects developed in partnership with the private and not-for profit sector." The Millennium Bureau of Canada will accept applications from organi zations five times over the next three years, with the first application deadline kicking in on June 19 and the last deadline ending the project in March 2000. Interested groups from across the country can check out the program's web site or call 1-888-774-9999.

Mr. Gray said the program's focus will be on projects and activities planned for the year 2000, but adds the program will broaden its funding to other projects. For example, Mr. Gray cited the application of the TransCanada Trail, a 15,000 kilometre hiking and nature trail already under construction. The project is part of the federal government's millennium initiative unveiled last March.

Mr. Gray said the partnership program intends to support non-commercial projects by providing partial funding. yj: John Margaret Stiles 50th Wedding Anniversary June 5, 1998 Congratulations, Mom and Dad on your special day.

God looked upon his garden And found an empty space Then He looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest, God's garden must be beautiful For He only takes the best.
