(CP) — A policeman posing as a Highways Department flagman stopped a brown pickup truck in the early hours of Jan. 20, 1983, a B.C. Supreme Court jury was told Friday. Court was then told of the circumstances of the arrests of Ann Hansen, 30, Juliet Belmas, 21, Gerry Hannah, 28, Douglas Stewart, 28, and Brent Taylor, 27, who are charged with conspiracy to rob a Brinks truck. The indictment contains nine other charges, including theft and weapons offences, how- ever, not all are charged with each of the 10 counts. The jury learned that Const. Kenneth Gates, a member of an RCMP Emer- gency Response Team, was dressed in a yellow rain slicker and an orange hard hat as he walked to driver's side of the vehicle and spoke to Hansen. As the two spoke, a High- ways Department vehicle containing two other members of the response team closed in behind the brown pickup truck. Cpl. William Chaytor and another officer, both dressed like Gates and each holding gas guns, jurmped from the highways vehicle and ran to the back of the pickup truck. TEAR GAS ‘The two officers smashed the rear window of a white canopy mounted on the pickup truck and fired tear gas cannisters, containing a chemical eye irritant, into the back of the vehicle. At that point, Gates opened the driver's door of the pickup, placed his revol- ver against Hansen's head and ordered her out. As the door flew open, Chaytor ran up, threw Hansen to the ground and handcuffed her. As she was thrown to the ground, the gun at her head, Hansen said: “Please don't kill anyone.” In their descriptions of the arrests of the five, Gates and Chaytor both described the loeation as the “take-down zone” and referred to “taking down” the suspects. Earlier Friday, Cpl. Wil- liam Biden, an RCMP member attached to the Co- ordinated Law Enforcement Unit, continued telling the jury about his role as leader of one of the three surveil- lance teams that observed the five suspects for hbout six weeks) prior to their arrest.

(CP) — Unlike the Kellys of Brantford, Ont., who are still looking for ways to spend their $14-million lottery jackpot, Anthony Carrato spends his time contemplating the bitter legacy of his 1977 lottery win — a $620,557 tax bill from the U.S. government. “God bless them, I'm happy for them,” Carrato, 50, said about Lillian and Stuart Kelly, who received their record setting jackpot Monday. “My greatest fear was that the Lotto 6-49 winners would be Americans. “When we found out who won, we were so relieved. We knew they would never have the same problems we did.” On Oct. 9, 1977, Carrato and his wife Patricia won the $1-million Loto Canada prize along with Patricia's mother, Anna Pecoraro. They opened a coin shop in Niagara Falls, Ont., bought a house, a vintage car, took a few trips and helped out some friends. But the U.S. tax man eventually came after Carrato, a Buffalo, N.Y., native, and is still on his trail.

HE'S BROKE NOW Today, Carrato is broke. He might have stayed rich if he hadn't boldly driven across the U.S. border to see friends, one day two years ago. Until then, he had only received what he considered to be mild warnings that he owed the U.S. tax department a hefty portion of his lottery winnings. U.S. citizens who win foreign lotteries must hand over at least half their winnings to the Internal Revenue Service, depending on the state they are from, even if they move outside the United States. When Carrato crossed the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls on Jan. 22, 1982, a routine computer check alerted customs officers to who gi was.

The bank soon sold the shop and a court order prohibits the Carratos from selling off the contents of the vault. Carrato has lost his job in a newspaper mail room and works only occasionally. His earnings in excess of $100 are automatically seized by the U.S. revenue department and a U.S. court ruling prohibits him from working in a managerial capacity in Uanada. ALL TIED UP “They have us tied up all the way around,” Carrato said at his home in this community near Fort Erie. “All the fanfare of winning was replaced by heavy weights on my shoulders.” His wife, 46, is seriously ill with hepati' nd attributes her condition to the stress caused by the tax department. “They don't really want any money from me,” Carrato said. “They want to crush me, that’s all. They want to use me as an example to scare people into paying their taxes.” Mis. Carrato’s mother has died, but the Carratos say the revenue nt is tracking down her other children still living in the United States and trying to get them to pay taxes, on their mother’s estate. The department isn’t after Mrs. Carrato because she has become « Canadian citizen and also won a court order two years ago prohibiting any U.S. agents from seizing assets that belong jointly to her and her husband. Carrato now says the day: he won the lottery was the beginning of a life plagued with sickness, fear and finally hatred. Yet he still buys lottery tickets.” Except the tickets are always in my wife's name,” he cn Pat os enc gala dp ring there and I say: ‘Come on, jst once more.

ON TV TONIGHT Reagan to tell if he’s running WASHINGTON (AP) — President Reagan plans to end America’s longest-run- ning _ political tonight in a $400,000 vised speech in which he plans to announce whether he will seek re-election. “rm sure he's going to announce” his candidacy for a second term, Michael Deaver “deputy chief of White House staff, said Saturday in coming as close as any to a flat declaration that Reagan will run. The 72-year-old president has been coy himself, telling people to tune in at 7:55 p.m. Castlegar time to find out. But the establishment of an extensive re-el were invited to a private hite House reception late this afternoon, and a party at a downtown Washington ho- tel several blocks from the executive mansion was planned during the evening. The Reagan-Bush ‘84 committee, in operation on two floors of an office building at the foot of Capitol Hill for several months, budgeted $500,000 for the announcement, which will be broadcast live. However, actual costs are expected to bé*$400,000 said campaign committee spokesman Jim Lake. RONALD REAGAN . +.

Gallup said it found the number of countries where at least 40 per cent of the population thought 1984 would be better, worse, or much the same as the one ended four weeks ago. The most spectacular turnaround came in Argentina where 83 per cent of those polied said they thought 1964 would be better than 1983, an increase of 49 per cent from last year. The reason for this surge of optimism, said Gallup, clearly has a great deal to do with political changes since Argentina's war with Britain over the British colony of ‘Falkland islands in the South Atlantic and the Latin American country's return to democracy late last year. The United States came close behind Argentina on the list of optimists, with 70 per cent who thought 1984 would be bettet than 1983, followed by South Korea's 66 per cent and Canada’s 59. BETTER ECONOMIES The United States and Canada show an increase of 20 and 26 per cent respectively over the last survey. Gallup attributed the increases to the two countries’ improved economies. Other optimists were Australians, 57 per cent; Greeks, 50; Venezuelians and Indians, 42 each; Brazilians, 40; and Chileans, classified as optimists with only 23 per cent but 51 per cent expressed no opinion. Filipinos head the list of pessimists with a score of 60 per cent, compared with 23 per cent last year. Gallup attributed the change in mood to the turn of events in the P since the late last year of opposition leader Benito Aquino. Bolivia followed the Philippines with 59 per cent. Next came Ireland, 55 per cent; Belgium, 53; Costa Rica, 49; Sweden, 47; the Netherlands and France, 45 each; Austria, 42; Italy, 41; and Portugal 40. Britain barely qualified as pessimistic. Gallup said 36 per cent of its population were pessimistic, only one percentage point more than those who were optitnistic. Norway headed the category of neutral countries, where people thought 1984 would be neither better nor worse than the year before. This group has changed tittle from last year, except that it has heen joined ‘by Luxembourg and Denmark, who were among the pessimists in the last poll. Behind Norway with 62 per cont came Swityeriand and West Germany, 52 per cent each; Ln Denmark, 47; Japan, 46; Finland, 43; and Uruguay, 82.
