Friday.Student orgs.supports SEE SU S By Evan LePage Both the Université de Sherbrooke and its union of support staff SEESUS have been quiet about their labour conflict since they agreed on a new negotiating strategy last week.But while both parties agreed to stay tight lipped and let their representatives talk it out, a student organization has loudly voiced their support for the striking staff members.A representative of the general association of students of the faculty and arts and sciences (AGEFLESH) at UdeS was on hand at the picket line last week to express their organization’s support for SEESUS.In a statement posted on the AGE- FLESH Facebook page, the student organization’s coordinator Etienne Bélanger-Caron wrote that the decision to support the strikers was taken during an administrative council meeting on Oct.4.“It was motivated primarily by the need to act and also by the mission itself of AGEFLESH, which aims to promote the values of solidarity and social justice, and this, to all workers,” the statement reads.“Improved living and working conditions of employees in the university sector concerns us directly.The support of students is a positive symbolic act that we hope will accelerate the resolution of the conflict.” AGEFLESH invited all of its members to take part in a day of picketing in solidarity last Friday.The support of this student group came less than a week after the larger student federation of Université de Sherbrooke (FEUS) expressed its own opinions on the conflict.The FEUS expressed its support for the goals of the striking employees but focused on how students were being negatively affected by the conflict.Many UdeS students had been complaining of reduced lab times and reduced gym hours, among other services cut as a result of the labour conflict.According to a statement posted on the organization’s website last Friday, representatives of FEUS, as well as the school’s association of masters and diploma students, met with the university administration who agreed to reim- burse students for services not received during the conflict.The statement also says that, according to a report filed by the deans and directors of programs, academic training will be adapted to the situation at hand and that the fall and winter sessions will not be compromised by the conflict.The strike has compromised the university’s open house however.The school announced last week that its open house day, originally scheduled for November 5, was cancelled because of “exceptional circumstances linked to the SEESUS strike.” Prospective students will only have the second open house day, February 11, 2012, to go visit the university.Jean Rousseau, NDP oppose toll bridge While many residents of Quebec and of the Eastern Townships were glad to hear of the construction of a new Champlain Bridge, Compton-Stanstead’s member of parliament Jean Rousseau released a statement denouncing the decision to run the bridge on a toll system.“For residents of the Eastern Townships, this bridge is the extension of Highway 10,” the NDP MP said in a statement released last week.“A toll system will penalize our residents as much as the residents of the South Shore.The Champlain Bridge should be equally accessible to every Canadian since we all benefit from it, whether it is directly or indirectly.” According to the statement, the NDP as a whole believes that it is unfair to place “the burden of its construction on those who use it to get to work” since the economic benefit of the bridge is shared across Canada.The NDP did state their support for the construction of the bridge.But aside from the toll issue, the statement also questioned the lack of a place for public transit in the bridge plans.“Also disappointing is the fact that there is currently no plan to include public transit in the new infrastructure, even though this means of transport is essential for any modern society,” the statement reads.“With a five billion dollar investment in a public infrastructure, one would expect greater seriousness, more concrete planning and less improvisation.” W1K1MBDIA Compton-Stanstead's Rousseau member of parliament Jean Manoir des Sables: Agreement in principle reached |-|-|he end may be in sight for the I labour conflict at Orford’s Manoir .A.des Sables hotel, as the two parties involved reached an agreement in principle last weekend.The steelworkers union representing the strikers and the hotel representatives were able to reach the agreement during negotiations Saturday night, the eve of a big picket day planned by the locked-out workers.“We increased the pressure over the last few weeks.It proved fruitful,” said union representative Guy Gaudette in a statement released on Sunday, confirming that the agreement had been reached.With the agreement in principles completed, the parties still have steps to take before this conflict is actually resolved.“There is still a protocol for the return to work to conclude and the members need to decide (on the agreement) in a general assembly, Gaudette specified in the statement.The union statement specifies that the general assembly will be held in the Revenu Québec stays put next few days.No details about the agreement will be revealed until the employees vote on whether to support or oppose it.The 120 or so unionized employees have been on lock-out from the hotel since Sept.15.The lock-out was ordered by the employer following a one-day strike by those same employees Sept.14.The employees have been without a collective agreement since the fall of 2010.The locked-out workers were initially planning a parade through the streets on Sunday, but fol- - lowing Saturday night’s progress _______________ they opted instead for a barbeque in WIKIMEDIA Orford’s Manoir des Sables hotel front of the Orford city hall.A representative from the Manoir des Sables could not be reached for comment on Monday.CONT’D FROM PAGE 1 in mid-August the council put forth a zoning regulation change that was to limit the construction of all buildings of 750 square metres or more to a specific area of Sherbrooke.The plan quickly drew the ire of certain city councilors and property owners in Sherbrooke who did not agree with the tactic of forcing the agency’s hand.The initial regulation was modified to exclude certain types of services and all private enterprises, but still did not receive unanimous support in council this past September.Of the nine offers received to the call to tenders, the cheapest offer that met the city’s requirements came at a cost of over $9.6 million, approximately $2 million more than the cheapest total offer.It is not for certain at this time whether Revenu Quebec will launch a new call to tenders in time or how long they plan on remaining where they are, currently split among two buildings in the Place des congrès and at 2144 King Street Ouest.No representative from the city or from Revenu Quebec could be reached for comment on Thanksgiving Monday.Serving the entire Eastern Townships with three publications Jo-Aww Hovey Advertising Consultant Townships Qytlct One number

McGill University in the second and final year of studies.The group ranges in age from 22-32 years old and come from different regions of Canada and the U.S.They have diverse educational and experiential backgrounds.The Master’s program is focused on group work in a studio setting where they collaborate with clients from across Quebec to generate plans and programs that meet the social, environmental and economic needs of various communities.These projects are mutually beneficial, as they help students to develop skills as planners, and the communities to enlist outside support in meeting their needs.In this project, they have been brought on board by the Mansonville Revitalization Advisory Committee to develop a community-based Revitalization Plan for the community of Mansonville.The project will last from September 2011 to January 2012.The “Imagine Mansonville” project is now underway! The group has conducted three visits to Mansonville to familiarize themselves with the community and the region, and to meet a number of citizens.“We have been absolutely blown away by the beautiful scenery, welcoming residents and numerous exciting community initiatives already underway,” said Lindsay Wiginton, a member of the group.“The next step is to actively en- gage all citizens in visioning and brainstorming about issues, challenges, and potential solutions for revitalization.Feedback from the community will be used to inform and guide the planning process to ensure the final plan is embraced by all,” she concluded.The Five Urban Planning members cannot do this project without the input and ideas of Mansonville and Potton residents! Five Urban Planning has two exciting community outreach initiatives coming up.On the evening of Tuesday October 11, the group will be canvassing door-to-door, accompanied by volunteers from the Centre d’action bénévole, to talk with residents about their vision for the community.Then, on Monday, October 17 they will be holding a formal Community Ideas Fair from 3-7 p.m.at Potton Town Hall.The public can drop in anytime throughout the evening to take part in interactive activities and discussions.You may see the group in Town over the next few weeks.In addition, they have an online blog and an email address where they can be reached with ideas and questions at any time.They will respond to emails or online comments as quickly as possible -

Susan Mastine Energy levels within us seem to be falling like the leaves around us.A sense of lethargy and the temptation to hibernate are settling in.Why can’t we do as the pioneers did - follow the schedule of the birds, getting up at sunrise and going to bed at sunset?Eastern Standard Time should be returning now, rather than in another few weeks.That extra hour’s sleep is something our bodies seem to be craving.How did this biannual time change get started in the first place?The concept of switching to Daylight Saving Time in the spring was first put forward in 1784 by Benjamin Franklin, who had energy conservation in mind.His philosophy was: why waste those early morning hours of natural brightness during which most people were normally asleep?The 1907 proposal by Englishman William Willett never came to see the light of day.He argued that the clock should be put ahead 20 minutes each of four consecutive Sundays in April, not only for Franklin’s reasons, but also to improve health and happiness.The powers-that-be didn't listen to either man.It wasn’t until 1917 that time change was first implemented.The goal was to reduce the consumption of energy used to provide light.Forcing people to wake up an hour earlier in the spring - when daylight hours were lengthening and it was already light outside - would reduce the time they would be awake during the hours of darkness by 60 minutes.Then, when the days started getting shorter and the sun rose later, clocks would be turned back an hour to provide more morning light.In 2007, the date on which Canadians shift to Daylight Saving Time was moved to the second Sunday in March (rather than the first Sunday in April) and back to Eastern Standard Time became the first Sunday in November (rather than the last Sunday in October).The justification was that our time has to correspond with that of our neighbours to the south.Heaven forbid that our time pattern differ from that of the US of A.The Americans made this move once again for energy savings reasons.A 2006 analysis by the US Department of Energy estimated that with this extra hour of natural daylight, consumption of electricity would drop by four-tenths of a per cent per day: the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy predicted this plan would reduce carbon emissions by 10.8 million tonnes.Whether this move has proven successful has yet to be confirmed.The transition from one season to another in itself affects mood and behaviour according to psychologists.It also increases appetite and sleepiness levels.Advancing the time in spring and rolling it back in the fall has been scientifically shown to have its consequences too - more accidents immediately after the loss of an hour’s sleep in the spring and fewer heart attacks right after the gain of an hour’s extra slumber in the autumn.Is that surprising?Hardly, since we tend to ignore our natural body rhythms.The availability of light whenever we want it means that we work and play both day and night, regardless of the pace that seems to be instinctive to us.If the ultimate goal is to save energy, consideration should be given to shorter work hours in winter and longer hours in the summer when personal energy levels are higher and the hours of natural light are longer.Instead of having one Earth Hour (8:30 to 9:30 p.m., the last Saturday of March) in darkness per year devoted to life without artificial light, we should step up the frequency of such an approach to energy savings.We should be working during daylight hours only - with the exception of emergency personnel, of course.Businesses should take individual preferences based on the person’s biorhythms into account when determining employee schedules.And efforts should be devoted to making the transition from Daylight Saving Time to Eastern Standard Time and vice versa much easier on the body.i n—THE — i RECORD P.0.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 5L6 or 1195 Galt Sherbrooke JIG 1Y7 Fax for

Sunshine Theatre Laura Teasdale Dear Editor Office of the Prime Minister Ottawa, ON Re.: F-35 Fighter jets at the current “estimated” cost of 9 (nine) billion dollars On the assumption that Canada is sti 11 a peace-loving and peace-keeping country, is the current Canadian government able to explain and rationalize an expenditure of 9 (nine) billion dollars on military equipment?Is the Canadian government getting the country ready for a major offensive somewhere, or are there other reasons for making a commitment of this magnitude of which the general public must not be made aware?Is the Canadian government still operating according to democratic principles, which demand that the “people” have a voice in decisions such as the one under scrutiny?To pre-empt a lecture on the fact that the Canadian government cannot consu t the plebs for everything it does, let me just point out that the expendi ure of 9 (nine) billion dollars is not a bagatelle, which, without any dou t in the majority of the people’s minds even in the United States of Amei ca, is only a fraction of the eventual total cost.Is the Canadian government aware that there are ample projects within the boundaries of this beautiful ountry that are in need of funding for the benefit of its citizens?Or, is it that the Harper government deems economic issues to be more imp rative than the wellbeing of its citizens?To help you understand why I am sending such a disrespectful letter, let me explain to you that I was borr in Germany in 1944.I have a swastika on my birth certificate: a syir >ol of murder and destruction.Therefore, you may potentially understand why I despise the abuse of perceived power, be it by an individual, a g< vemment or religious group.In the case of the matter at hand, you are juite safe in assuming that I regard the governing party to be outside tl e boundaries of its mandate and it should seriously and carefully consic er and reconsider its decisions.Failing that, I can very easily see the h retofore docile, not to say apathetic Canadian public to rise up.It has happened in the Middle East, it is happening in the United States now ,.nd it will happen in Canada.A country where a hockey game can incite riots should also be able to rise up and fight for democracy and proper government.I am looking forward to receiving your Executive Correspondence Officer’s response to this communication.D.Ted Lender Sherbrooke The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, October 11, 2011 Page 7 Linking Lennoxville and the surrounding communities The men hope the small gesture of a community dinner will help defray some of the costs the family incurred.Spaghetti supper support for Kwasny family By Corrinna Pole Thanksgiving focused on being thankful, now Robert Nutbrown and Robert Pinkston want Town-shippers to shift to being generous in support of the family of Bishop’s Gaiters Kevin Kwasny.Platefuls of pasta will be served up for dinner Thursday evening in exchange for donations that will be sent to the family whose son suffered a brain hemorrhage during the university football game against the Concordia Stingers on September 10.Through the Church at the Elm and Bell Christian Student Ministry, the Lennoxville residents want to help bridge the gap between the university and borough communities and show their united support for the 21-year-old student and his family who returned to their hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba, late last month.Motivated to follow their biblical instruction of “do onto others,” Nutbrown and Pinkston, both fathers, have found themselves thinking often of Kwasny’s parents Gregg and Geraldine and wanting to do something proactive.“Myself being a father of three football players, it makes you think of how easily it could happen,” said Nutbrown.“Really it could happen to any of us.We are all one slip and fall from something like that.” The men hope the small gesture of a community dinner will help defray some of the costs the family incurred.“I’m a parent and I’ve tried to put myself in their place of not only having to help their son but to have the added expense of flying to Quebec then staying in a hotel, this will hopefully help to make that burden a little easier,” said Pinkston.In addition to helping the family, they hope the event will also remind the W1KIMED1A Bishop’s Gaiter Kevin Kwasny.student population that Bell is there for them if needed.The dinner will take place at the student church at 18a Conley Street.Informally known as the BCM house, the building is accustomed to feeding large groups.Every Tuesday evening, a free meal is served up to roughly 60 students.Townshippers have a pretty good reputation for lending a helping hand when needed.Fellow event organizer Bill Ellis is confident that with the word getting out, the surrounding community won’t disappoint.“We’re very optimistic that people will show up.Just talking to people around town and getting together to pray for the Kwasny’s, people are very positive about wanting to help.” The spaghetti supper takes place at 18a Conley Street, across from Wards Garage, Lennoxville, from 5 to 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, October 11.Those who would like to contribute but can’t attend the supper are invited to drop off their donations at 18a Conley.Cheques can be made out to the Eglise Renaissance with amounts of $20 and more to be given a tax receipt.For more information contact Robert Pinkston at 819-569-2761.Adam Gyorgy at Centennial Theatre Pianist Adam Gyorgy makes his Quebec debut at Centennial Theatre on Saturday, October 22 at 8 p.m.In one of only 3 concerts in Canada on this current tour, Gyorgy’s performance will coincide with the birthday of Hungarian virtuoso Franz Liszt who’s music will be the feature of the evening: Sonata in b minor, F.Liszt: Ballade in g minor (Op.23), F.Chopin: Rigoletto Paraphrase, F.Liszt; La Campanella, F.Liszt; Hungarian Rhapsody No.2, F.Liszt.Other Canadian performances are scheduled in Ontario and New Brunswick before Mr.Gyorgy returns to Carnegie Hall by invitation in November.Adam’s extraordinary musical talents were realized at an early age.At merely 12 years old, he was accepted to the prestigious Bela Bartok Conservatory, where he flourished under the tutelage of piano teacher Katalin Halmagyi, who continues to be his mentor and a key member of his creative team.At age 18, Adam won Hungary’s Pianist 2000 Award and was accepted at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest and Cont’d on page 8 ‘Super-duper-excellent’ Cont’d from page 1 By June, two weeks before his 16th birthday, he started working the weekend shift in Sherbrooke and stayed on for the next 18 years.When the Lennoxville location was opened in 1992, the predominately English speaking Philbrick was asked if he would like to relocate.He jumped at the chance and for the next 20 years commuted to work from Sherbrooke by bus.In all that time Philbrick has found himself at home maintaining the restaurants lobby’s and he’s made it clear he wouldn’t want to do anything else.“Making people happy makes him happy.He likes being with the customers, opening doors, clearing their trays, he’s very polite.I guess that comes from his parents and now he is transferring his values to others,” said lannuzzi.With his infectious smile, Philbrick fondly recounted some of the many “fun” memories he’s made over the years, like going to an exclusive employee only concert in Montreal featuring Glass Tiger and Sass Jordon.“I have been employee of the year when I was in the west location and I’ve been employee of the month, oh, many times,” Philbrick rightly brags.After proudly displaying a ring he says he was given for being named as the best employee in the Eastern Townships by the Dixville Home Foundation, Philbrick lists the other mementos he has at home, such as the clock he received for a decade of service, and the barometer given when he reached his 15 year mark.The 52 year old could easily be referred to as an exceptional community treasure and for many he is.Outside of his restaurant work, Philbrick volunteers to record the religious services of St.Andrew’s Presbyterian Church for those who can’t attend, he participates in prayer chains and lends a helping hand when needed.lannuzzi recalled recently seeing Philbrick help an elderly woman onto a bench while waiting for the bus.Compassionate and helpful, Philbrick never let his intellectual disability slow him down and lannuzzi believes it is an advantage that makes him “hard working and reliable.” That reliability was seen last Thursday when The Record found Philbrick working his shift as usual even though his father had just passed away.Manager Carole Gagné adds that Philbrick’s disability has made him adaptable to change, strong and determined.Gagné praised Philbrick for taking pride in offering customers “the most enjoyable experience” each day and checking in regularly to make sure he’s done a good job and that everything is, in his words, “super-duper-excellent." “Craig is well liked by his customers and co-workers, he is also well respected.He is always willing to help customers that need a hand,” said Gagné .“The restaurant is like home to him, everyone loves him and that makes him feel good.Many regular customers ask where he is when he is not there.” lannuzzi and Gagné both believe Philbrick’s a valuable member of the team whose workplace contribution is a “very positive experience” for customers to see while making a noticeable difference to his fellow employees.“Craig leads by example and that’s what we ask for from our employees and I think that everyone asks that you’re known to be a dependable person and reliable.It [also] teaches our younger employees how to work with people with an intellectual disability and shows them that, despite having a disability, they can contribute,” said lannuzzi.“By working in the community they are choosing to make a difference so why not let them and encourage them.” Philbrick is currently one of the longest working employee in the lan-nuzzi’s Sherbrooke restaurants.With over 80,000 employees across the country, more than 13,000 of them in Quebec, and several recent retirements, McDonald’s Canada was unable to confirm if Philbrick is currently one of the company’s longest working staff members.However lannuzzi believes that, in addition to being in the top one per cent across the country, Philbrick is the oldest working employee with a handicap. Pages Tuesday, October 11, 2011 LINK newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record A pond in Lennoxville that was on the chopping block for over a year has been saved by the City of Sherbrooke.The cost: approximately $55,000 in tax dollars.The pond, commonly known as Duck Pond by locals, was at risk of being turned into a housing development as reported in The Record in early August 'Duck Pond' site acquired by the city of 2010.As the pond, which is situated on College Street across from the Oxford apartments, is not a natural body of water the minister of sustainable development, the environment and parks was not willing to protect the site and authorized its destruction.The news that a developer was interested in expanding Watson street at the expense of the pond caused local residents and environmentalists to come forward asking the city to take action.Those citizens will now be among those whose tax dollars will be put towards various fees associated with the preservation of the pond, including the transfer of an electrical wire that crosses the lot.The city was able to acquire the area on which the pond is located by giving the developer, Luc Elias, a different lot of the same size, around 6,200 square metres, in the same sector of Sherbrooke where he will be able to build the residential properties he had planned for.As for the pond, it will now become a park though the details of that project are not yet nailed down.Sherbrooke unemployment rate goes up slightly Canadian Press The national unemployment rate was 7.1 per cent in September.Statistics Canada also released seasonally adjusted, three-month moving average unemployment rates for major cities but cautions the figures may flue- i il i RECORD has 2 pair of tickets to give away for 'Wies, Thursday November 24 at the Palais des Sports Sherbrooke Drawing will be held on November 3, 2011 at 11 a.m.The winner's name will be published in The Record on November 4, 2011 Mail this coupon to JAMES BLUNT CONTEST c/o The Record 1195 Galt St.East, Sherbrooke, QC J1G 1Y7 tuate widely because they are based on small statistical samples.(Previous month in brackets.) _ St.John's, N.L.6.7 (6.5) _ Halifax 6.2 (6.3) _ Moncton, N.B.7.1 (7.1) _ Saint John, N.B.5.7 (5.8) _ Saguenay, Que.6.6 (7.1) .Quebec 4.4 (4.8) .Sherbrooke, Que.7.1 (7.0) .Trois-Rivieres, Que.8.7 (8.4) .Montreal 8.0 (8.4) .Gatineau, Que.6.3 (6.3) .Ottawa 5.0 (4.9) _ Kingston, Ont.6.1 (6.7) _ Peterborough, Ont.10.9 (11.2) _ Oshawa, Ont.7.2 (7.6) _ Toronto 7.9 (8.1) _ Hamilton 6.7 (6.9) _ St.Catharines-Niagara, Ont.8.3 (8.4) _ Kitchener, Ont.6.7 (6.2) _ Brantford, Ont.9.1 (8.9) _ Guelph, Ont.4.3 (4.7) _ London, Ont.9.0 (8.9) _ Windsor, Ont.9.6 (8.1) _ Barrie, Ont.10.7 (9.6) _ Sudbury, Ont.6.3 (6.7) _ Thunder Bay, Ont.6.0 (6.2) _ Winnipeg 6.0 (5.8) _ Regina 4.4 (4.7) _ Saskatoon 5.7 (5.1) _ Calgary 5.9 (6.0) _ Edmonton 5.3 (5.3) _ Kelowna, B.C.7.3 (7.3) _ Abbotsford, B.C.8.0 (8.2) _ Vancouver 7.1 (7.3) _ Victoria 6.3 (6.2) Adam Gyorgy ConTd from page 7 studied under Professors Gyorgy Nador and Balazs Reti.He went on to win the Vienna Classics Prize in 2002 with his outstanding interpretation of Haydn’s Sonata in G major (No.54).In 2003 he won the Special Prize at the San Remo International Piano Competition and in 2004, all Prizes (First Prize, Grand Prize and Special Prize) at the First International Chopin Piano Competition in Budapest.Adam graduated in 2006 and is currently doing his doctoral studies at the Liszt Academy.In 2005, Adam was invited to join the Steinway community, a single honour that places him in the company of the greatest pi- anists of all time.This critical acclaim earned Adam his debut at New York’s famed Carnegie Hall in 2008, where he played to a full house, and most recently, Singapore’s Esplanade Concert Hall, also a sell-out crowd and a postconcert 90 minute autograph queue.Adam continues to delight the world with an awe-inspiring program of classical works by Chopin and Liszt as well as his own improvisations of well-known melodies, unique in the classical music community.Regarded as one of the best Liszt players in the world and the Liszt ambassador in his home country of Hungary, Adam’s 2011 concerts honour the 200th birthday of this genius composer as well as the beginning of the Hungarian Presidency of the European Union.From prodigy to Liszt ambassador to philanthropist, Adam Gyorgy enchants audiences everywhere he performs.His virtuosity and his sensitive interpretations have won him critical acclaim and built him a fan base worldwide.Visit www.centenni-altheatre.ca for audio and video excerpts of Gyorgy’s performances.Submitted by Sonia Pate-naude spatenau@ubishops.ca 8i9-822-9600 extension 2617 Name: Address: Phone: Record Subscriber: Y_ N NDP tables bill to protect French language rights in Quebec Nt ; Tickets must be picked up at The Record’s office By Tobi Cohen Postmedia News -ow the voice of Quebec in the House of Commons, the New Democratic Party has introduced legislation to preserve French language rights for federally regulated workers in the province.The private member’s bill introduced this week seeks to harmonize Canada’s labour code with Bill 101, Quebec’s French language charter which de fines French as the province’s only official language - the language of “work, instruction, communication, commerce and business.” As it stands, the law only applies to provincial workers - for instance, those who work at a caisse populaire, not employees of a chartered bank.The bill seeks to protect the rights of employees to carry out their activities in French and receive communications, job offers, collective agreements and other documents in French.It also prohibits employers from dismissing or demoting staff who ask that these rights be respected.“This legislation has received unanimous support from the NDP caucus which, as you know, is a pan-Canadian caucus," Trois-Rivieres MP Robert Aubin said Friday.Outremont MP Thomas Mulcair said the bill is an element that’s been missing since the French charter was adopted in 1977 and that this is the NDP’s attempt to listen to the “hundreds of thousands of workers” in telecommunications and interprovincial trucking, among other jobs, who are stuck under the Canadian code.

There is a good chance that neither you nor your mate will be using your best judgment today.Put off making any major decisions until you have plenty of time to thoroughly suss things out.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - Use both self-discipline and common sense when it comes to anything that has to do with health matters.You know what you shouldn’t be eating, drinking or doing.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) -Don’t allow yourself to be caught in the middle of a situation where a friend is trying to use you as a pawn in his or her political maneuvers.Speak up and put a stop to it.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - Be on guard when on the job, because there is a good chance someone will attempt to take credit for your accomplishments and the good work you’re doing.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — Don’t be caught off guard by someone playing a game of one-upmanship.If this individual catches you napping, he or she will make sure you come out second-best.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Be ex- ceptionally diligent about your financial affairs, especially if you’re involved in a joint endeavor with another party.If she or he misfires, it could cost you plenty of the green stuff.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If it seems like everybody you know disagrees with your point of view or way of doing something, it’s time to review your thinking.You could be afflicted with tunnel vision.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Be cooperative and do your part, but don’t be a doormat for anybody who tries to palm off his or her chores onto you.Let that person fend for himself or herself.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You shouldn’t need to wager in order to make a competitive sport or activity more exciting.In fact, it can work against you if you place more attention on it than on the enjoyment of the events at hand.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Life is tough enough without adding self-imposed penalties on what you’re attempting to do.Instead of taking the line of least resistance, you might do everything the hard way.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — If you and the party whom you’re addressing are each interested only in your own thinking, you’ll never hear a word of what the other is saying.You’ll miss an important exchange of information.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) - Don’t act impulsively on a business proposal that is being offered you without first examining it thoroughly.It could be better for the other guy than it is for you.Tuesday, October 11, 2011 Page 15 Tuesday, Oct.11, 2011 The bidding points to the points By Philip Adler Joe E.Lewis, a comedian and an actor who died in 1971, said, “I’ve been on such a losing streak that if I had been around, I would have taken Gen.Custer and given points.” If Lewis had been a bridge player who counted high-card points, his losing streak would have ended.Tracking points often turns apparent guesses into certainties.This deal offers a relatively simple example.South is in three no-trump after East opened one heart.West leads the heart three (low from his worthless tripleton because he did not support his partner’s suit).How should declarer plan the play?South was about to open one no-trump.So, when East bid one heart in front of him.South was right to overcall one no-trump.And North should immediately raise to game.Be aggressive in these situations because declarer should — will! — know from the bidding where the missing high cards are located.He will play more accurately.South starts with six top tricks: three spades, one heart, one diamond and one club.Three more tricks are available from either minor as long as the finesse North io-i i-u ?6 4 3 V 4 2 ?Q J 10 9 ?A Q J 10 East ?J 10 V K Q J 8 7 ?K 7 4 2 ?K 9 South ?A K Q V A 10 9 ?A 8 5 3 ?7 6 4 Dealer: East Vulnerable: Neither South West North East i r 1 NT Pass 3 NT All pass Opening lead: V 3 West ?98752 V 6 5 3 ?6 ?8 5 3 2 is winning.But which finesse should declarer take?South only needs to count the points.The dummy has 10 and he has 17.That leaves 13 for the opponents, yet East had sufficient to open.The club finesse must fail and the diamond finesse must win.Therefore, when declarer wins with his heart ace, he should play a club to dummy’s ace and take the diamond finesse three times.No sweat!
