her ethical beliefs.The director of McGill’s Centre for Medicine, Ethics and Law is a firm believer that people in pain have a right to have that pain eased by medical professionals.She also strongly believes that children have a right to be born through natural methods, through one man’s sperm and one woman’s ovum.The issues of human pain and artificial insemination, often polarizing topics among the general public, will be the subjects of Somerville’s lecture at Bishop’s University Wednesday night, as part of the Donald Lecture Series.“Using ‘human rights talk’ to embed ethics in law: the cases of people in pain and children’s biological heritage,” is the lecture’s lengthy title, which in summary means she will be using the above-mentioned controversial issues as examples to illustrate why she thinks ethical considerations have a place in Canada’s legal framework.“What I argue is that the courts are using the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom as one way to bring ethics into law,” she said, saying that this is something she is in favour of.The issue not only combines Cont’d on page 3 By Evan LePage Officials from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) seized nearly $2 million' worth of cocaine from a vehicle’s spare tire at the border in Stanstead last week.Officers at the Highway 55 border crossing found 16 kilograms of pure cocaine in the car on November 2, one of the biggest seizures of drugs on the Canadian-American border this year.“(The cocaine was) distributed in 16 packages and they were concealed inside the tire of a spare wheel that was mounted underneath the vehicle,” said CBSA communications advisor Jacqueline Roby.Roby said that they could not reveal what factors caught their attention and lead them to search the car as it would obviously

building owner after fire A Sunday fire in the former Maysen Pub in downtown Sherbrooke has the building’s owner in hot water with the city.The owner will apparently be forced to board up the building, which has been for sale for approximately a year, in order to come in line with municipal regulations.The Sherbrooke fire department was phoned at around 1 p.m.on Sunday.When they arrived on scene on Wellington Street they determined the fire started inside the building, which was unoccupied at the time, leading firefighters to begin an investigation into the cause.“The cause has not been determined yet but it’s definitely under investigation,” said the fire department’s chief of operations Daniel Gingras.“The area was not occupied, that’s why it was under investigation.” The department is considering all possibilities for the cause of the fire, including that it was set voluntarily.The three-alarm fire required the work of approximately 30 firefighters on the scene and took around 90 minutes to be brought under complete control.“This is a complex building, there has been lots of renovations,” said Gingras.“This is what slowed the firefighters a bit.” Residents of buildings beside the Maysen Pub building were evacuated as a preventative measure.Traffic was also closed between King Street West and Aberdeen Street for much of the afternoon.Gingras estimated the damage to the building at approximately $15,000, likely more for windows that were broken during the fire EVAN LEPAGE -i-JLLJ Sunday’s three-alarm fine on Wellington Street took place in the old Maysen Pub building and was started inside the now-unoccupied space, prompting the fire department to launch an investigation into its cause.Citizens take Huntingville Dam issue to city council The Friends of the Huntingville Dam and Ascot River did their research and brought it all before the Sherbrooke city council last night in an effort to garner the support of municipal politicians in trying to save the dam from alteration.The community group offered the councillors four potential uses, relating to historical, ecological and touristic as- pects of the site, for the dam in its current state.Solutions include turning the site into an educational facility of sorts for the faculty of engineering, creating a historical information and preservation centre at the site, and creating a bicycle path to the dam that joins with the Mas-sawippi trail to turn it into a greater tourist attraction.As previously reported in The Record, the current plan of the dam’s owner Bo-ralex is to lower the dam in order to be in accordance with provincial regulations but not have to maintain the structure.The Friends of the Huntingville Dam emerged in the late summer as a group of citizens who are concerned about the potential effects this lowering would have on the site and surrounding areas.The community group consists of about 60 members.As of Monday, 470 signatures had been collected on their petition against the lowering, which they presented to the city council.More details about their presentation, and the response of councillors, will be available in tomorrow’s Record.Correction: In the article "Lennoxville residents want more resident Scott Daignault's name was misspelled from the parks plan," which appeared in the as Scott Daniel.The Record regrets the

but they are fresh on her mind having just returned from a conference called “The ethicalization of law” at the prestigious Max Planck institute in Germany.Somerville chose pain and biological heritage as examples, as these are two issues she is very closely connected to and interested in.In the early 1980s, Somerville described how her father was in severe pain due to the spreading of his prostate cancer.When she flew back to her native Australia and assured that he be given the best available pain relief, she says her father gave her the mission before his death of improving access to pain-relief treatment for the general public.The issue of biological heritage and artificial insemination has come to be associated with Somerville, due to her controversial stance that it is wrong for gay couples “to transmit human life in that way.” “What I argue is that children have a fundamental human right to come from natural human origins,” she said.“This WIKIMEDIA Mimnni Margaret Somerville will be speaking in Ban-deen Hall at Bishop’s University at 7 p.m.on Wednesday.is where I get into trouble from the gay community.” It was her stance on this issue that put her in the nation’s eye when she was awarded an honourary degree from Ry-erson University in June of 2006, and gay rights groups made their discontent known.Still, while her beliefs may be controversial, Somerville’s research and writ- ings have assured her place among the country’s most respected ethicists.No stranger to big lectures, having given the annual Massey Lectures on CBC Radio in November 2006, Somerville said she enjoys trying to communicate her ideas to the general public.“1 very much believe that it’s the role of people who have the enormous privilege of working in a university to communicate with the people who support us, and that’s the Canadian general public and the taxpayers,” she said.“I also believe they’ve got a really important role and a right to have influence on the decision making.and they can’t do that unless they understand how these things are working.” The respected ethicist and researcher also explained that part of her research is interaction with people, since she often learns surprising things in the process.“When you try to explain things to people you often learn more than you teach,” she said.Somerville will be speaking in Ban-deen Hall at Bishop’s University at 7 p.m.on Wednesday.Admission is free and the lecture is open to everyone in the community.Travel Vaccination Service • Hepatitis A and B • Typhoid • Update your immunization

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Nexkemia Petrochemicals in Potton encourages nutritious snack program for youth The Scoop : Mable Hastings The Missisquoi North Youth Centre in Potton has been offering youth free fruits and vegetables during snack time in the various weekly groups held at the Centre over the past few years.A lack of funds and the cost of fruit and vegetables have made it difficult for the Centre to afford to maintain this vital initiative.Recently, while volunteers were soliciting donations for the upcoming “rock-a-thon” fundraiser held at the Centre each year, a discussion with Pierre Beaudry (Plant manager) for NexKemia Petrochemicals Inc.brought to light the concerns about the cost of the “healthy snack” program.Pierre was quick to emphasize NexKemia’s support in promoting initiatives to improve the health and well being of the youth in Potton and felt that NexKemia would welcome the opportunity to help maintain and improve upon the program offered by the Centre.NexKemia Petrochemicals Inc.was es- PH0T0S BY MABLE HASTINGS “'¦1 ¦ tablished in Mansonville in 2008 after its president & CEO, Maurice Barakat bought the idle Huntsman facilities.It has

packaging.The site currently employs 40 full time employees and is servicing a pool of customers located all across North America.NexKemia’s actions are governed by a sincere desire to provide good quality products to its customers, a safe work place for its employees and environmentally safe practices for its neighbors.The funding received from NexKemia will enable the Centre to offer the free fruit and vegetable platters two nights a week rather than one.Since the snack is offered free of charge, many youth who might not otherwise'choose this type of nutritional snack, are more likely to do so.For NexKemia Petrochemicals Inc.this is just another initiative in support of the community and its youth.The Nexkemia Petrochemicals Plant Manager, Pierre Beaudry and Maurice Barakat, President

tongue as the Com-JL \plexe Roger-Crevier, which will offer 58 residences to families and the elderly, was inaugurated in Magog on Monday.The residences were constructed thanks to a joint investment of $2.4 million from the provincial and federal governments, and a total investment of $4.8 million.The money was contributed through the federal government’s Economic Action Plan and the provincial government’s AccesLogis Quebec program in conjunction with the Quebec Housing Society.Of the rest of the money raised for the project, over $1 million was put forth by local partners, including almost $990,000 by the City of Magog itself.“The Complexe Roger-Crevier is a great example of what can be achieved when the community comes together, and it is perfectly natural for our government to support this initiative that provides families and seniors with quality housing units that meet their needs at an affordable cost,” Orford’s MNA Pierre Reid said in a statement.Senator Suzanne Fortin-Duplessis also participated in the official inauguration.Of the new complex’s tenants, 29 will also be able to benefit from the Rent Supplement program “which provides financial assistance to low-income individuals who would otherwise have to spend more than 25 per cent of their income on housing,” the statement specified.Also, the provincial government committed a grant of $127,000 to assure the building meets the Novoclimat standards regarding energy efficiency, as is the case for all AccesLogis projects.Traffic alerts Sherbrooke King Street West will have lane reductions today, between Grandes-Fourches and Cathédrale Streets, as city workers carry out horticultural work on the median.The centre lane on either side of the median will be closed from 7:30 a.m.until 3:30 p.m.on

The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, November 8, 2011 Page 5 Bishop's to host Top Girls Turner Studio Theatre, November 9-13 STEVE HORTON Top Girls features an all-female cast of senior students under the direction of Laurel Thomson.In photo, L to R: Alyson Wener as Isabella Bird, Renee Myers as Marlene, Jenna Peacock as Lady Nijo.The Bishop’s University Drama Department presents Caryl Churchill’s influential play Top Girls, from November 9 to 13 at 8 p.m.at the Turner Studio Theatre.The production features an all-female cast of senior students under the direction of Laurel Thomson.Admission is $10 adults / $8 students and tickets are available through the Centennial Box Office by calling 819-822-9692.Top Girls is a groundbreaking portrayal of women and power in the workplace.Set in the dawn of Margaret Thatcher’s Britain, Top Girls opens with a dinner party hosted by Marlene, newly appointed managing director of the Top Girls Employment Agency.To celebrate her new position, she has gathered five other “top girls” around a table, drawn from history and myth.As they begin to feast on fine cuisine, their tales of love, betrayal, travel and adventure unveil the cost of what it takes to be a Top Girl.The playwright exposes just how little women have come and how little has changed, and Marlene’s life-long pursuit of power and prestige comes at a price.Born in London, England in 1938, Caryl Churchill is one of the most critically acclaimed playwrights in the English-speaking world.She is also regarded as one of the most controversial and experimental contemporary playwrights.Mixing acute political insight with theatrical experiment, her plays are always both intellectually and dramatically thrilling.According to Dr.Peter Buse, “Churchill’s dramaturgy is above all the staging of desire, and more particularly the desires of those members of society who are least able to realize them.They are desires which social and political structures are unwilling to accommodate - the desires of the oppressed, and most often, of women." Churchill has received a number of awards during her career, not to mention four Obie Awards, including one for Top Girls in 1982.Other works include Cloud Nine, Serious Money, A Number, The After Dinner Joke and Crimes for the BBC, and most recently, Seven Jewish Children - a play about Gaza in 2009.A graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada, Laurel Thomson recently completed her MFA in Theatre at York University where she trained as a Voice instructor under David Smukler.Thomson is a seasoned actor with numerous directing credits under her belt, including Cocktails at Pam’s, The Dispute, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream for Champlain Drama, and The Importance of Being Earnest and Arms and the Man for Dog-Cart Pro- ductions.As an actor, she performed with the Stratford Festival, Theatre SKAM, Bard on the Beach in Vancouver, and the Piggery Theatre in North Hatley.In 2005, she starred in Theatre Lac Brome’s acclaimed production of The Tall Girl.Thomson is currently teaching Acting at Bishop’s University.Set design is by Mike Sinnott, the lighting is designed by Michel Charbon-neau, and the costume designer is Candace Herring.Assistant director is Jean-Benoit Vanier and the play is stage managed by Emily St.Aubin.Tickets are $10 for adults / $8 for students and can be reserved at the Centennial Box office at 819-822-9692.Stanstead border cont’d from page 1 however.“They use sort of a versatile approach to evaluating the risk; there are a lot of anomalies that can incite an officer to perform a more extensive search.” Roby added that advanced technology is used by CBSA agents and that in the case of the Stanstead seizure a drugsniffing dog was also utilized.According the Roby, the largest seizures by border officials are usually in Canadian ports where drugs are concealed in the much larger shipping containers.The CBSA performed over 1,800 drug seizures in 2010.The Stanstead case has now been handed over to the RCMP, who will be dealing with the suspects and any criminal charges in relation to the seizure.An RCMP media representative said that the only information they can provide at this time is a confirmation that they are investigating the case and that if they do press charges more information would then be released to the public.“Usually we have to gather the evidence [.] that could be a long process before bringing everything to court,” the representative said.“As soon as we have enough evidence to lay charges against these or that person at that time this person will appear in court.” They also confirmed that the RCMP’s drug unit in Sherbrooke would be in charge of the investigation.Siffipip The 16kg of cocaine found at the Stanstead border crossing, valued at nearly $2 million, was hidden securely in the spare tire under the vehicle, as shown in this photo.PHOTOS COURTESY CBSA The drugs were divided into 16 packages of about 1kg each.Hey, Snowbirds!

Page 6 Tuesday, November 8, 2011 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record 7 DITQRIAL Bullies traditionally target those who are different - in size, looks, belief, social stature, power.Coming out and bullying Susan Mastine CBC comedian Rick Mercer’s recent rant, calling on gays and lesbians in the public eye to come out, caught news headlines across the country.And it has generated much debate.Yes, gay young people should have more role models, but do people in the limelight have to be open about their personal lives?Individual rights to privacy must prevail, but the controversy on this one continues.The saddest thing of all is that this is even an issue.It’s a crying shame and a very real societal flaw that homosexuality is not regarded as a normal part of life.It’s a disgrace that the reaction to learning someone is of a different sexual orientation is still all too often not one of openness, respect, and caring acceptance, but one of fear, rejection, and worse.And it’s a grave injustice that gay people cannot feel at ease to openly live their lives and that they often fear reprisals for expressing joy, sorrow, or romance with their partners in the vast majority of places and situations.The responsibility for changing that lies with us all, whatever role we play in society - parents, friends, teachers, teammates, caregivers, coaches - the list is endless.Those of us who are not gay need to be open about the gay people in our lives, to give them affection and support, to feel strong and comfortable about standing up and sharing information about our loved ones.I have a cherished son and son-in-law who are gay, and a long-time dear friend who is gay, all of whom I love deeply and of whom I am very proud.1 know their roads are not always easy, yet I have no idea of the struggles and issues they have had to deal with, and I am so sorry to have done virtually nothing to pave their ways through this aspect of their lives.Rick Mercer’s Rant has moved me to speak up, and I salute him for insti- gating dialogue around this issue.Mercer’s TV piece, in reaction to the suicide of Ottawa teenager Jamie Hub-ley who was gay and had been the victim of bullying, interestingly was aired just before Bullying Awareness Week -next week, November 13 to 19.A Canadian initiative, this awareness-raising week is the brainchild of Bill Belsey, founder ofbullying.org, an educational Web site on bullying prevention.Bullying Awareness Week describes itself as being “increasingly recognized by schools, individuals, organizations and communities as a time to celebrate and promote solutions to the problems of bullying.” In its ninth year and spreading around the globe, it strives to instil in today’s young people a firm conviction that bullying, in addition to being harmful, is just plain wrong and unacceptable.It also promotes the concept that bullying is a community health and wellness issue that we can do something about.Bullies traditionally target those who are different - in size, looks, belief, social stature, power.Its impact can affect all aspects of life, including the will to live, and its emotional scars can last a lifetime.Bullies come in all shapes, sizes, and ages, and can be found everywhere from school playgrounds to seniors’ homes, from private households to major corporations.For a glimpse of a few types, pick up Nick Fonda’s bold new book of short stories.Principals and Other Schoolyard Bullies.This is not heart-warming reading, but an excellent literary work that courageously raises awareness of the problem of bullying.As the fictional stories demonstrate and the Bullying Awareness Week Web site states, bullying is the result of relationship problems.The key to preventing bullying is to focus on relationship strategies that encourage respect and empathy for others.“Everyone has the right to be respected and the responsibility to respect others, in person and online.” (http://www.bullyingaware-nessweek.org/) Bullying Awareness Week challenges us to not accept bullying behaviour as a behavioural norm.It invites us to be inspired by the following quotes: “Be the change you want to see in the iim i Ht: «in RECORD P.O.Box 1200 Shflbrookr JtH 5U or 1195 Gtk E.Sherbrooke JIG 1Y7 F« r* Nfwooom mr.1195693945 e-KAii: newsnwnwisherbrookfreatrd.mm Wvjsm: wRAY.sherbrookerecord.com Sharon McCuixy PUBUsm* .(819) 569-6345 Danibi Couiombe News EorroR .(819) 569-6345 Stephen Biake Corresp.Editor .(819) 569-6345 Serge Gagnon Chief Pressman.4819) 569-9931 DEPARTMENTS AcroHwnNC.(819) 569-9511 AiWEimsiNG .(819) 569-9525 Circiiiation .(819) 569-9528 Newsroom .(819) 569-6345 Knowiton omet SB Victoria Street, Knowiton, Qoebec.JOE 1 VO Tec (450) 242 1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 MAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST TOTAL Canada: 1 yea» 120.00 6.00 10.71 $136.71 6 months 63.00 3.15 5.62 $71.77 3 MONTHS 32.00 1.60 2.86 $36.46 Out of Quebec rrsidmts do not include PST.Rates for other sendees available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 9, 1897.and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record.1195 Galt East.Sherbrooke.QC JIG 1Y7 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA world.” -Mahatma Gandhi “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, determined citizens can change the world.Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” -Margaret Mead “If you share this vision, thank you!

he has size, can catch and no one realizes how fast he is.” Doyon-Roch joined Sherbrooke in January after a stellar CEGF.P career during which he led the Vanier Cheetahs to a provincial title last year as he was named the league’s Player of the Year.While many young quarterbacks need a few years to adjust to the university game, Doyon-Roch stepped into the starting job in training camp and never looked out of place.He completed 177 of 313 attempts for 2,383 yards, a new school record, and tossed 15 touchdown passes.The 19-year-old business student was also named a league all-star.“I thought the transition from college to university would be difficult but 1 worked hard every game and every practice and I still have a lot of work to do,” Doyon-Roch said.“The coaching staff, especially (offensive coordinator) David Lessard helped me a lot and I was surrounded by a lot of talented players." He added that Saturday’s defeat, a game in which he threw three interceptions, would serve as a motivating factor during the off-season.Gaiters down Brock to win Baggataway Cup for first time a hat trick by Mike Dubé (Brockville, Ont.) and a six-point afternoon by X \josh Crone (Cambridge, Ont.) led the Bishop’s Gaiters to the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association championship, as they defeated the Brock Badgers, 11-6, in the league final on Sunday afternoon in London, Ont.The win gives the Gaiters their first Baggataway Cup in the team’s 11-year history, and marks the first time that the trophy has been won by a team from Quebec.Dubé scored a pair of first-period goals, as the Gaiters took a 3-0 lead after the first 20 minutes.Both of the veteran attackman’s markers came as a result of Brock penalties, as the Gaiters’ special teams were the difference-makers early in the contest.Brett Conway’s (Cornwall, Ont.) extraman goal early in the second put Bishop’s up 4-0, but the Badgers did not go away quietly.Brock responded with four unanswered goals, including three in the last six minutes of the second, to go into halftime tied at 4-4.In the second half, the teams traded a pair of goals each before Dube’s third goal of the day with 4:14 left in the third quarter gave the Gaiters the lead for good at 7-6.Bradley Haddon (Coquitlam, BC) put Bishop’s up 8-6 at three-quarter time.Crone’s two goals, with 8:28 and 6:35 left in the game, settled matters and confirmed that the Baggataway Cup would leave Ontario for the first time.The Gaiters’ other goals came from Joe Laleune (2) (Halifax, NS), James Malloy (Uxbridge, Ont.) and Greg Harnett (Caledon, Ont.).Bishop’s took 6:30 in penalties, on four personal and five technical fouls.Brock was called for 12 minutes in penalties, as they took ten personal and two technical fouls, with most of their penalties coming in the last three minutes, after the game was well out of reach.Veteran goalkeeper Keegan Durovick (Regina, Sask.) faced 16 shots and allowed six goals for the Gaiters.For Brock, Cameron Watts spent most of the time in goal, and faced 21 shots.The win is the first league championship in any sport for Bishop’s since 2004, when women’s basketball won the Quebec University Basketball League.The Gaiters finish the season with a record of 13-1 (9-1 CUFLA).From Bishop’s University NASCAR fines Busch $50,000, threatens suspension for more disruptions By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press NASCAR fined Kyle Busch $50,000 on Monday and placed him on probation through the end of the year for wrecking Ron Hornaday under caution at Texas.NASCAR also warned Busch that he will be suspended indefinitely if he is involved in any other action “detrimental to stock car racing or to NASCAR, or is disruptive to the orderly conduct of an event.” Busch was scheduled to run only in the Sprint Cup Series race this weekend at Phoenix, it’s not clear how many events he had planned to enter in next week’s season finales at Homestead.Busch and Hornaday were racing each other early in Friday night's Truck Series race at Texas when Busch deliberately wrecked Hornaday, a championship contender, under caution.“I lost my cool, no doubt about it," Busch said after the wreck.NASCAR, which pulled Busch off the track after the wreck with Hornaday, parked Busch for the Saturday and Sunday races at Texas as further punishment.Busch became the first driver since Robby Gordon in 2007 to be suspended from a Cup race.Kevin Harvick was suspended in 2002.Harvick and Gordon were fined $35,000 each after their suspension, and both were placed on probation through the end of the year.They were also warned with the exact same language used in Monday’s warning to Busch.Busch could still face additional dis- cipline from Joe Gibbs Racing or sponsor M&Ms.Michael McDowell replaced Busch in Sunday’s Cup race, and Busch watched it from atop the JGR pit box.“I understand why I was taken out of the car for the rest of the weekend.NASCAR officials had to act, and I accept their punishment and take full responsibility for my actions,” Busch wrote Saturday in an apology letter posted on his website.“As a racecar driver, the hardest thing to do is to sit on the sidelines listening to cars on the track when you know you should be out there competing.For this, I have no one to blame but myself.” Busch was a title contender at the start of the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, and he opened it tied with Harvick as the top seed.But he faltered through the first few races and has not been a threat.He’s had a good deal of drama this season, too.Busch was on probation earlier this season following a post-race, pit-road confrontation at Darlington with Harvick.He was cited for careless and reckless driving, and speeding after driving 128 m.p.h.in a 45-m.p.h.zone.He later lost his North Carolina driver’s license for 45 days as part of sentence that included a $1,000 fine, 30 hours of community service and a year of unsupervised probation.He clashed in the garage with rival team owner Richard Childress at Kansas in June and intentionally wrecked Elliott Sadler during the truck race at Bristol.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Avoid getting involved in social situations that are replete with people who make you feel very uncomfortable.Don’t open yourself up to misery and feelings of exclusion.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Unless you are truly motivated to do something in particular, you could have trouble getting into gear, making this day an extremely boring one for you.Find a fun goal to chase after.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — Take care not to think of yourself as an underdog, especially when in a challenging position.What you envision is what you’ll unconsciously bring into being.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — The family budget will suffer considerably if you or other family members ignore your pledge to be prudent, and needlessly spend monies you can’t afford.Be watchful.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — If you’ve been pushy, uncooperative or moody with friends lately, you could find yourself with an open dancing card.The gang isn’t likely to tolerate spoilers; get back in character.TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2011 The deceptive play to recognize by Phillip Alder Sir Arthur Conan Doyle of Sherlock Holmes fame said, “There is nothing as deceptive as an obvious fact." It is obvious to me that the right line of play in this deal is deceptively difficult to see.South is in four spades.West leads the heart queen.What should declarer do?To reduce the options, I will let you know that the trumps are breaking 3-1.North’s rebid showed a balanced hand with 18, 19 or a poor 20 points.South bid what he hoped he could make.Declarer starts by counting losers.He sees none, one or two in spades; one in hearts; one in diamonds; and none or one in clubs.The club play will be governed by the spade break.South takes the first trick with dummy’s ace (otherwise, West can shift to diamonds) and draws two rounds of frumps to get that news.Now comes the tough part.Declarer must get his diamond loser away on a long club.But he must establish the club suit without giving West a chance to ruff in.Here, if declarer cashes his club king and plays a club to dummy’s Jack, he North ?A 5 2 IP A 8 ?A J 6 ?A J 7 4 3 11-8-11 West ?Q J 9 V Q J 10 6 ?K 10 7 3 *98 East ?10 V K 9 7 3 2 ?Q 9 8 4 ?Q 10 5 South ?K 8 7 6 4 3 *54 ?52 ?K 6 2 Dealer;
