Stephen McDougall Special to The Record Asbestos A$60,000 artistic fountain will be built in the Asbestos hospital’s new outdoor garden early next year because of a condition in a Quebec government grant used to build a longterm care wing, hospital director Mario Morand said Thursday.“One of the conditions of the grant was that one and a quarter percent of the money be spent on an artistic work for the new wing,” he said.“I could find better things to spend that money on, but it’s the law, so I can’t.” Morand said the fountain will be in the form of an oversized tulip, made out of granite and ceramics.It will stand close to 10-feet tall and shoot a stream of water from its centre.“We decided not to have a basin for the fountain because a patient or resident could drown in it,” he said.“So the water will be collected up by a drain.” The artist, he said, is from Montreal and won the contract in a bid tendered by the government’s culture department earlier this year.Morand said the fountain will be installed in a $46,000 garden that was built behind the new wing this past summer.Please see fountain Page 7 RCMP busts indoor marijuana operation in Eaton Township ' ¦-l'IiV1 PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL RCMP officer Jim Moffat with seized plants.By Maurice Crossfield f | jhree Bromptonville men will ap- I pear in court in Sherbrooke today .X.on charges of running a marijuana growing operation in Eaton Township.“Since yesterday we had been waiting for them to come over here,” said RCMP spokesman Cpl.Jimmy Moffatt from the scene at 250 Route 108 in Eaton Township.“When they showed up at noon we busted the place.” Inside the bungalow RCMP officers found 481 marijuana plants growing in soil.Moffatt said about half of the plants were nearing maturity, while the other half were fairly young.The outlaw growers had bypassed the electrical meter, so that the high energy consumption wouldn’t be noticed.The facility used a number of high powered lights, requiring lots of electricity.Arrested at the scene were Pierre Blouin, 40, of Bromptonville, who was also wanted on a warrant from the Sherbrooke Police.Police also arrested René Coté, 45, also wanted on a warrant from police in British Columbia.A third 40-year-old man from Bromptonville was arrested, and his name was not released.Moffatt said the three will appear in a Sherbrooke courtroom today to be charged with cultivating marijuana and possession of marijuana with the intent to traffic.PQplotting to abolish access plans: Williams By Rita Legault Sherbrooke Liberal MNA Russell Williams fears that Health Minister Rémy Trudel’s secrecy about a report on anglo access plans is a clear indication the Parti Québécois will attempt to dismantle the plans that guarantee access to health care services to English-speaking Quebecers in their own language.For weeks, Trudel and his top bureaucrats denied the existence of a document entitled, “Les enjeux de l’accès aux services de santé et aux services en langue anglaise” which was delivered to Williams in a brown envelope.Williams, who describes the document as “a deliberate and planned attack on our community and our services”, had attempted to get a copy through access to information legislation in September, but the health ministry would not hand it over.At first, the ministry denied it existed, Williams told the Record.Later, minisüy officials said the document could not be handed over be- cause it was a power-point presentation on a computer.Then someone pointed out a hard copy of the 68-page document was handed out to members of the Larose Commission looking into the future of the French language in Quebec during an in-camera meeting with health ministry representatives.Williams said the reason bureaucrats were trying to hide the document is pretty clear.The report, presented to the Estates General on the French Language by senior bureaucrat Pierre-Paul Veilleux, suggests dismantling access plans and removing legislative guarantees for services in their own language to English-speaking Quebecers.According to law, access plans must be reviewed in January 2002.The revision is obligatory every three years under law 142, which was passed by the Liberals under Premier Robert Bourassa in 1986.From the start, the PQwas opposed to the law, Williams said.They voted against it Please see plans P.18 Pilsen Restaurant & Pub

at the Magnola Metallurgy plant will be bilingual, company spokesman André Martel said Thursday.The Record reported yesterday that Magnola will test its emergency siren system next week on Dec.5.But The Record could not confirm whether the French radio station would be able to communicate instructions to Asbestos and Danville residents in both languages if a real gas leak did occur.“We have an agreement with CJAN to broadcast a prerecorded message that will be as much in English as it will be in French,” Martel told the Record.If a gas leak does occur, a local emergency committee has told resi- dents to get inside the nearest building, close all doors and windows, shut off any ventilation systems and tune into CJAN at 99.3 on the FM dial for further instructions.Danville to honour

it.That’s because nutrition is a science that is constantly evolving.But while we may not have all the answers, the one thinq we've always known for certain is that when it comes to healthy eatinq, variety is our best option.And that refers to fat as well.When we eat a variety of wholesome foods, we benefit from a variety of different kinds of fat that occur naturally in them.For example, although people have been drinking milk and eating dairy products made from it for centuries, scientists are only now beginning to discover the potentially beneficial substances in milk fat.So if your efforts to cut down on fat have you cutting out dairy products, you could be doing yourself a disservice.Because as knowledge about the science of nutrition expands, so does the understanding that the fat in dairy foods is probably there for a reason.Series on fats sponsored by Dairy Farmers of Canada. page 18 Friday, November 30, 2001 i ¦¦¦THE» Record U de S brings jobs to Cité des Rivières Ties with new city and businesses to be enhanced: Béchard By Daniel Huot Sherbrooke Université de Sherbrooke Principal Bruno-Marie Béchard couldn’t have chosen a better place to present his vision of a renewed partnership between the city and the local private sector.Wednesday night he outlined his goals in front of roughly 140 people attending the Chamber of Commerce’s dinner, including Sherbrooke Mayor Jean Perrault.Béchard brought a smile to Per-rault’s face by announcing the university will now begin an ambitious research plan in conjunction with the notorious Cité des Rivières project.“I gave the vice-principal responsible for research the mandate to enrich the recreational and touristic Cité des Rivières project with a strong university component, perhaps the establishment of a new university institute for the environment and sustainable development, which could involve more than 40 professors and attract a national centre to the region whose expertise is water,” said Béchard.He acknowledged the centre would be federally run.Plan: Cont’d from Page 1 when it was first passed, and every time party members get together there is a new call to quash or weaken it.“I’m convinced this is government policy,” Williams said, adding that it was prepared by a senior advisor who re ports directly to the deputy minister of health.Williams said the report begins with a biased history of access legislation, and complains the law allows for freedom of choice by opening it up to “personnes d’expression anglaise” and not just anglophones.Williams said Liberals deliberately wanted to avoid anglophones having to prove they are English-speaking before they can get access to services in their own language.“Bouchard said himself that when people go to the hospital they should not get a language test when they need a blood test,” Williams recalled.The MNA also complains the report is filled with misleading facts and statistics.For example, it states that in 1989 decrees designated 25 per cent of health and social service institutions to provide services in English.Fifty-two per rent of establishments were designated in 1996 and 45 per cent were in 1999.Université de Sherbrooke Principal Bruno-Marie Béchard brought a smile to mayor’s face PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL “Researchers would work as a team to improve water technologies, the environment and water purification,” said Béchard.“Cité des Rivières will not only be a tourism project, it will have a research component.” Perrault said he’s thrilled with Béchard’s announcement, especially since he was put on the hot seat during the recent municipal campaign to prove the project can bring benefits to the region.“This will just reinforce the project,” said Perrault.“The region needs struc- “But it fails to mention that half the hospitals - including Sherbrooke Hospital - were closed causing the percentages to go up,” he said, adding Veilleux also complains there is no correlation between the number of anglophones and the demand for services.One table shows 100 per cent of institutions on the North Shore are designated to provide English services despite the fact that only 1.2 per cent of the population speaks English.“What they fail to mention is that there is only one health care establishment, and that not all services there are provided in English,” Williams said.In the Estrie region, it states that 74 per cent of institutions are forced to provide services in English, but some provide few services to anglophones.“Not all services are indicated,” Williams points out.While the bureaucrat complains the debate on English services has been politicized, he suggests the bureaucratic rules used to set up access plans be replaced by ministerial guidelines.“This is very serious,” he said.“They say the debate has been politicized yet they want to replace the rules with policies at the whim of a minister!” Worse yet, the PQ.report questions the very need for such a law, says Williams with statements like: “Why is a linguistic right added to a professional obligation that is already guaranteed” tured projects.Like I said during my campaign, Sherbrooke will continue thriving with a new city, businesses, two universities and three colleges.It’s exceptional.” The second important project Béchard announced is the creation of a 4,000 sq.-foot structure in the city’s Biomedical Park.“We founded the IPS four years ago,” said Béchard.“Start-ups can use the facility, but must go out on their own within five years.Right now, the IPS building is overcrowded.” The principal noted many pharmaceutical start-ups are extremely successful and require additional floor space if they are to thrive in Sherbrooke.“Néokimia is a start-up company that got on its feet very quickly,” Béchard noted.“It already occupies half the ISP building’s space.” Business people and city representatives listening to Béchard’s speech rewarded him with a warm round of applause when he announced the creation of a new public relations officer position at the university.That person’s duties will be to promote campus positions among the private and public sectors at the local level.“Hundreds of university employees participate at every level of community life,” said Béchard.Béchard noted a university employee already sits on the board of directors of and “Why the is a right not included in the Charter of the French language?” The report also questions the need for access plans when the rights are already guaranteed by the health care law.But what has shocked and outraged Williams the most is the final comment in the report that health care clients and workers “be liberated by this foreign body” so that Quebec’s health care law “can recover its virginity”.“That’s disgusting!” exclaimed Williams.“If that doesn’t clearly indicate the intent of this document, what does?” “This shows you what the government is thinking and that’s dangerous,” Williams said.“This makes my skin crawl.These are the same people who will be recommending changes to access plans in January.That does not make me feel warm, cuddly and secure about our legislative guarantees.And outside the language issues, Williams is concerned that the government was not even willing to respect access to information requirements by attempting to deny the document existed.“That’s against the law.” Richards responds Former Townshippers’ Association president Gary Richards, who sat on the Estates General on the Future of the Cité des Rivières and that it’s time to eliminate internal strife and overlapping.“At one point, it was published it was either a stadium or Cité des Rivières.At another, it was Néokimia (chaired by Professor Mario Deslongchamps) or Cité des Rivières,” noted Béchard.“We can’t afford to pit our own projects against one another.It’s not a question of one wins, the other loses.” Attempts to retain university staff will also be reinforced by improving the structure to help employees’ spouses to find jobs in the region.Béchard noted four medicine faculty professors have quit their jobs within the last six months because their spouses couldn’t find jobs in the Sherbrooke area.“It’s a catastrophe for the university,” Béchard complained.“We invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in their work.The university lost $2 million when it lost those four professors.” He said a project called Concertation-Emploi Estrie is on the verge of being completed.It would focus on finding jobs for spouses.“I could have given their spouses a wage and it would have been cheaper in the long run than losing those professors,” Béchard quipped in front of his packed audience.Mayor Jean Perrault noted Bishop’s University faces a similar staff retention problem.French Language, said commissioners did not seriously consider what was reported to them by a senior health care bureaucrat who suggested scrapping health care access plans for the English community.“When Pierre-Paul Veilleux appeared before the commission, we tore him to shreds,” Richards told the Record.“If you look in our report, we didn’t even consider what the guy was saying,” he said.Richards said Veilleux appeared at one of more than a dozen in-camera meetings the commission held with government bureaucrats.Richards said the commission unanimously agreed that no one except the community involved knows what services are required by the English-speaking community and who can best administer them.“I think if the PQ.endorses Veilleux report over the recommendations of the Larose commission, it will regress even further into irrelevance.” “I think it’s just a group of senior mandarins trying to advise the minister,” he said, adding that he does not believe it reflects how the government or Quebecers feel about language and health care issues.“I can’t believe the government would adopt the plan,” he said.“It is so stupid.It is against everything the commission heard in all of its hearings.” INSIDE Gaiters baskeball squads host McGill at homecoming weekend .see Pages 20-21 Jamie Zachary, Correspondents’ Editor NEWSROOM@SHERBROOKEREcoRD.coii MBKR 30, 20 rji'p'iy HHH si ÊHÊ iB Stipe named best defensive player in Canada By Arash Madani Special to The Record You can hear the pride in Marc Loranger’s voice when he talks about a player who in 2001 did everything right on the football field and has subsequently been awarded for it.In fact, the defensive co-ordinator of the Bishop’s Gaiters speaks so highly of Dave Stipe, you’d think he was the best free safety in the Quebec Interuniversity Football Conference.Oh wait, he is.Well, he’s All-Conference.That’s great.But it’s not like the fifth-year senior is the best safety in the nation or anything.Oh wait, he’s that too - after being named first-team All-Canadian on Monday following his best year ever in a Gaiters uniform.All right, all right, so he’s good.Really good.And he’s so good that Canadian Interuniversity Sport is bringing him to Toronto for Vanier Cup week, complete with the major awards dinner and the ‘test for the best’ competition and all the hoopla that surrounds Saturday’s national championship game between St.Mary’s and Manitoba.But it’s not like Stipe is the best defensive player in the country or anything.It’s not like of the near 30 athletic programs in the CIS, there was no other defender in the nation better than him?Oh wait.Think again.Thursday night at the annual football awards banquet in Toronto, Stipe was awarded the President’s Trophy, emblematic of being the finest defensive player in Canada.Nobody was better in 2001.Nobody.Not spectacular Regina linebacker Jeff Zimmer and not outstanding Ottawa ’backer Mark Pretzlaff.Stipe stood tall, with the flashbulbs and the realization that after one of the best careers in recent Gaiters memory, the Burlington, Ont.native received the awards to prove he is the best.“He’s the example of the guys you want to have on your team.Athletes not only with athletic ability, but here you have a guy who made himself better over time,” says Loranger.“He’s basically the guy who represents what you want in a player, in fact he’s a perfect example of what you would like to be as a football player at this level.And as a coach, he’s the guy you want to have.Give me 12 Dave Stipes and the other team won’t score too much.” The six-foot-two, 202-pound defensive back, who shuf- fled back and forth from halfback to free safety over the last two years before settling in at the safety spot this season, was outstanding in his final campaign with the Gaiters.He finished second in the QIFC in tackles (83), behind McGill linebacker Mike Mahoney.However, the 26-year-old led the conference with 56 unassisted tackles and was sixth in the country.He also had an interception and five knockdowns.“He was a standout in our conference.We struggled at times and defensively it wasn’t a good season,” admitted Loranger.“If there was one standout, it was Dave Stipe.He was always ready for the task and he was tackling some of the best players you can find.” One man who really pushed for Stipe to get the award, in addition to outgoing Gaiters head coach Tom Allen, is Glen Constantin, the former Bishop’s assistant and current head coach of the Laval Rouge et Or.The man that initially began the re cruiting process to get the honours sociology major to the Gaiters program had nothing but praise for a player who could have a career in the CFL.“You take a look at Dave, and the first thing I see is that he is a pro-type, CFL linebacker.If he gets an opportunity to go to (training) camp and the team commits to him, then he’ll have a chance to be an impact player,” said Constantin, sitting in his office.“Dave polices the intensity on the football field, he wants to be the best.” This is praise coming from a coach who has sent many players to the pros.And as for his knowledge of the linebacker position, well that’s pretty good too.Late last fall, Lloyd Carr, the head coach at the University of Michigan football team, wanted Constantin to come be his outside linebackers coach with the Wolverines.“I look at a Kelly Wiltshire in Montreal, Jason Kralt at B.C., (Stipe) is a lot like them,” said Constantin.“Except Stipe is more physical than these guys.” By virtue of being the first Gaiters major award winner since 1994 - when Paul Connery won the J.P.Metras trophy for best down lineman - the exposure will definitely help the Bishop’s program.“People will hear about this a hell of a lot,” continued Loranger.“This is going to help us on a national basis.He’ll be on television and in the media and a lot of student-athletes will hear his name associated with Bishop’s University.” So now it’s easy to understand the pride, joy and the prestige that Stipe is bringing to the Gaiters program.The best defensive player in the land has finally been recognized.Forino is

their 2001-02 seasons in October, but tomorrow will be their first time local fans will get a chance to see the Gaiters in action, as the two teams square off in a doubleheader with the McGill

men’s Gaiters put together a 5-4 preseason record, and proven that when they stick to their game plan, the team can play with the best teams in the country.“The fans that come Saturday will see a hard-working team," said head coach Eddie Pomykala.“We have been getting tremendous efforts each game, and now we need for each player to have their best game Saturday, and then we will have a chance to beat McGill.” Another focus for the team is in the turnovers department.Despite the ability to score, in both regular season games, costly miscues have really hurt the team.“We had 23 turnovers at the half last week against Laval (they finished the game with 37 errors), and a lot came from being tentative,” said Pomykala.“We need to attack the basket more and take advantage of scoring opportunities when they present themselves."

the Dawson Blues tonight in Montreal and host rival Sherbrooke Saturday.By Arash Madani Special to The Record Lennoxville Look no further than the two guys on the Champlain Cougars men’s basketball team who are not from the Eastern Townships and that pair -Tyrone Fells and Chris Blackwood - will tell you how key Saturday’s home affair is against the CEGEP de Sherbrooke Volontaires.While almost the entire roster, save these two talented stars and one other player, is from the local region, even Fells, the starting power forward, and Black, an extremely talented point guard, acknowledge that Saturday night’s ball game against the Volontaires is an important one.“It’s a must for us to get a win,” said Blackwood, sipping a can of Sprite while reading the Bishop’s University Campus newspaper on Thursday afternoon.“We need to get a win on Saturday and we need to get a win at home.” In the friendly confines of Mitchell Gymnasium, the Cougars have struggled - dropping decisions to Champlain St-Lambert, Vanier College and CEGEP de Ste-Foy last Friday.Winless on its home floor, Champlain is hoping that its luck will change against their cross-town rivals.“It’s all about establishing who is the better basketball team in this area and I’ll tell you, we’re hungry for a win,” said Fells, a Yarmouth, N.S.native, who played on the Nova Scotia provincial hoops team at the Canada Games this past summer.“To beat Sherbrooke, we’ve got to rebound and dominate the boards and we know that.” While the Cougars were losing games early in the season, both Fells and Blackwood were out of the lineup.Fells, a second-year man who helped the Cougars capture their first provincial crown ever last March, was inactive due to academic difficulties, and Blackwood was idle due to injury.Now both are back and are expected to make a key impact on the squad.Blackwood has proven he can deliver from the perimeter as the rookie gunner from Toronto knocked in 13 points in the 88-80 loss to Ste-Foy last week.Not only is the explosive point-man a tenacious driver, but he can bomb from downtown and proved it by hitting some big three-point shots for the Cougars last week.“That’s my shot,” admitted Blackwood.“I look at whatever defence that’s being thrown at me and I’m willing to take the deep shot.” Fells, who poured in a dozen points in his 2001-2002 debut last Friday added: “Chris is our floor leader.He is the leader on this team and brings a lot of intensity.We all know he is smart with the ball so we are happy with the decisions he makes.” Fells is a recipient of many passes from the tiny five-foot-five freshman, who has the ability to dribble out of pressure with ease.Establishing his position in the post, Fells, a six-foot-five threat inside, is the main target Blackwood looks to.Not only can Fells drain the short jump shot, but his presence at the offensive and defensive rebound is vital as well.“Tyrone’s overall offensive presence is important and man, he can do a lot,” said Blackwood of his teammate.“Defensive rebounds come to him like water and he’s the No.1 guy I look to.I’m happy when I go to him because I know I’ll be building up my assists total.” Saturday night’s game (7 p.m.) is the tail end of two games in two nights for Champlain.On Friday they travel to Montreal to face a very strong Dawson College Blues team and then will come back to host Sherbrooke.Blackwood, who is still receiving physiotherapy treatment to overcome his knee injury, says that the tilt against Dawson is the game the club is focusing on right now, especially because the Blues are a perennial favourite in the division.“Our focus is on Dawson,” he said.“How great would it be to come out with two big wins?” NOTES: The Champlain women’s team, on the heels of a three-game losing skid, hits the road for an away game in Granby tonight.The squad will be back home on Dec.7 for its final regular season home contest of the season when the Cougars face Drummondville. i TH E i Fr.iDAY, November TO, 2001 page 23 Obituaries CLARENCE BURNHAM Clarence Burnham was born the sixth child of Alfred Burnham and Margaret Armstrong in the village of Foster on

Friday, Nov.30,2001 You just know the lie of the land By Phillip Alder What is the a priori probability of winning one finesse out of two?Half the time (50 percent) the first finesse will win.And half the rest of the time (25 percent) the second finesse will work.So, the answer is 75 percent.(To stop a flood of mail, it is actually 76 percent because a 1-1 division of two cards is 52 percent, not 50.) How would you try to deliver four hearts after West leads the spade queen?The deal occurred in Napa, Calif.South saw nine top tricks (two spades, six hearts and one club), so decided he needed either the club finesse or diamond finesse to work.After winning with his spade ace and drawing trumps, declarer ran the club queen.However, East produced the king and switched to the diamond queen.After finishing one down.South complained about his bad luck.North, though, .vas unsympathetic.He had noticed that the :ontract was cold.South should have lucked trick one! (If West had seven spades, he wouldn’t have passed over South’s one-heart opening.) Declarer wins the next spade with his ace, draws trumps ending in the dummy, and cashes the spade king, discarding a dub from hand.South continues with dummy’s club ace and club jack (or nine).If East plays low, declarer discards a low diamond.Even ifWest can win with the club king, he cannot profitably attack diamonds, so the contract is safe with two spades, six hearts and two dubs.Here, if East covers with the club king.South ruffs, enters dummy with a trump, and cashes the established dub winner.North 11-30-01 A K 5 4 ¥ J 10 8 7 ?7 5 4 A A J 9 West East A Q J 10 3 A 8 7 6 2 ¥ 9 4 ¥ 3 ?A 8 2 ?Q J 10 9 A 8 6 4 3 * K 7 5 2 South A A 9 ¥ A K Q 6 5 2 ?K 6 3 * Q 10 Dealer: South Vulnerable: North-South South West North East 1 ¥ Pass 3 ¥ Pass 4 ¥ Pass Pass PaBs Opening lead: A Q E> » 5T ~~T Lennoxville Curling Club Mayor’s Bonspiel Nov.5-10 - the sixth edition A bonspiel organized in Conjunction with the town and Curling Club.Chantal Carrière is the town representive and Bill Roarke’s Curling Committee.There were 24 teams this year.Prizes and donations come from businesses in town.Prizes were given to the 16 finalists and the other 2000 so gifts were given out by drawing names.Teams were drawn from the Lennoxville Club and from organizations and town businesses.Finals were held Saturday, Nov.10, a wine and cheese, organized by Derek Heather-ington, brought the event to an end.Many thanks to Lennoxville Businesses and individuals who lent a hand or donated gifts and money.This was the 6th Annual Mayor’s Bonspiel.Winner.Town of Lennoxville Trophy Won by Lennoxville Club Juniors Left to right: Brad Lassemba, Matthew McCrea, President Charles Ross, Andrew Hatch, David Millar.The runner up team skipped by Bunny Smith, Bob Fitzsimmons, Debbie Pellerin, Rachel Hosteteler.y - - %:¦ mSB Winner: Lennoxville Curling Club Trophy A.NA.F.The Hut (Army-Navy) Left to right: Wendy Patrick Ladies Pres., Bruce Neil, Carol Guthrie, Danny Comeau, Gordie Nobes.Runner’s up: A Lenn.Curling Club team made of John Pille, Sondra Neale, Ken Neale, Denis Singher.Card party Richmond St.Anne’s Anglican Church renovation committee held a successful 500 card party in the church hall on Friday evening, Nov.9.There were 12 tables in play.High score for the ladies, 6680, was held by Marie Berthe Skerry; second, 5840 by Marion St.Onge, and low, 3100, by Marie Cassidy.Vivian Pollock, playing in gents place, held high score of 6480; second with 5620, Ronald Jones; low, 2220, Hazel Fleck, playing in gents place.The floating prize for the nine-of-hearts bid went to Ray Lancaster and the nine-no-trump bid went to Helen Knowles.The two grocery boxes were claimed by Richard Goodfellow and Fran Dewar.Door prizes were claimed by Lauretta Irwin, Hazel Fleck, Gertrude Watson, Marion St.Onge, Vera Hughes, Cathy Watson, Patsy Millar, Vivian Pollock, Bev Jones, Clara Boisvert, Lawrence Clark, Marie Berthe Skerry, Ray Lancaster, Winnie Paterson, Rita Simpson, Archie St.Onge, Alton Mills, Hazel Carson, Geo.Lancaster, Gerald Skerry, Helen Knowles, Mary Goodfellow, Laurette Pre-mont, Mildred Holliday, Doreen Findlay, Allan Banfill, Patsy Biggs, Audrey Millar, Daisy McGee, Jake Kydd and Alison Watson.Many thanks for your support, to all who brought in prizes and/or helped in any way.It was all much appreciated.Mrs.C.McCourt i ¦THt» Record .Friday, November 30, 2001 page 25 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and present.Each letter In the cipher stands tor another.Today's clue: N equals K ‘WT JGX EHGPFKV ICVGMO GHH OWT OFLT, IRO WT JGX MTGHHP SRXO G I F V XHCEEP ICJH CD L R X W .’ - XOGKHTP NMGLTM CK WRLEWMTP ICVGMO PREVIOUS SOLUTION: "The most important thing is to appreciate what you have.You can wake up tomorrow and it's gone," — (Singer) Juanes ®2001 byNEA, Inc.30 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms ate created trom quotations by famous people, past and present Each letter In the cipher stands tor another.Today's clue: S equals C 'JBGFTLNPW WXYYWT AMWYXUBLT.’ - KTGLV OMUTZ SBWBLMFB XZ M ELMGF ZTMY YB ZTT YKT JBLWF N L B U .' - JXWW LBETLZ os OUI V3N *q 1002® sauenr (taBuis) — , euo6 s,j| pue mojjoujoi dn e^e/vi ueo noA wen noA iei|M ajeioajdde 01 si 6uii|) tuepoduti tsoiu em„ :NOIimOS SflOIAELd Kit n’ Carlyle ^ A/0 $1i(M THIa^ -fcç ^1 fty 40 I WWT You If ^fop vt&/y) riHrow! © 2001 by NEA, Inc.www.comlcs.com MS lives here.Multiple sclerosis usually strikes people aged 20 to 40, in the prime of their lives.Multiple Sclerosis irlw Society of Canada 1-800-2687582 www.mssociety.ca Alley Oop Hev/ enough or that; LOOK.AT THE TIME.'
