By Michelle Lepitre Since the inception of the Townships Leaders of Tomorrow Awards in 2005, we at Townshippers’ Association have had the pleasure of meeting so many great young leaders that we have realized the title “Young Leaders of Tomorrow” is no longer fitting for our youth leadership awards initiative.The number - and quality - of the candidates nominated over the past three years has made it abundantly clear that our young Townshippers are much more APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS,' MACKENZIE WROTE Five-year-old MacKenzie Achilles of Stanstead has given The Record this masterpieces depicting your weather forecast.If you would like to depict the Townships weather via a drawing, send them to 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, Qc, JIG 1Y7.Don’t forget your name, age and address.Weather Today: Cloudy with 60 percent chance of flurries or rain showers.High plus 3.Tomorrow: Cloudy with 40 percent chance of flurries or rain showers.Low minus 1.High 7.Friday: Cloudy with 30 percent chance of flurries or rain showers.Low zero.High 6.Saturday: A mix of sun and cloud.Low minus 6.High 7.TOWNSHIPPERS' ASSOCIATION Joan Thomson, one of the 2008 Outstanding Townshippers award recipients.Who will they be in 2009?than just the leaders of tomorrow.they are already leaders, today!

in the year ahead will be mostly devoted to the advancement of your self-development and interests.It won’t be selfish because you will willingly share with those you love.ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Don’t hesitate to form an alliance with a person with whom you’ve never previously partnered.Even if you put the endeavor together loosely, it should work out rather well.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Do all that you can to keep everyone in a happy mood, because the attitude of your co-workers will affect you.When the mood of the place is good, your job will be made easier.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Because you haven’t been playing favorites with your friends, it will prove to be a helpful tactic in getting along better with everyone.When all are equal, no one has to compete for attention.CANCER (June 21-July 22) - What makes you such a good mediator is the ability to review any testy situation or development from all sides.If something should develop, step up and keep warring factions in their place.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — In order to win others to your point of view, you need to have a fair-minded and unprejudiced outlook in your presentation.When others see that you are unbiased, they’ll be receptive.Across 1 Summon the genie 4 Stacy who played Mike Hammer 9 Fischer man?13 Greek goddess of discord 15 Parcel out 16 Pentathlon event 17 Almanac tidbit 18 “Show me" state?20

extras VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Because you’re apt to be extremely clever and resourceful when working with financial figures, this is a better-than-average day to put your monetary affairs in balance.UBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — If others ask you to oversee something important, they’ll have some valid reasons for doing so.Even though you may not realize it, your leadership qualities will be very much in evidence.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - To the casual observer, you may appear to be subdued, but, in reality, you’re likely to be hard at work observing all that is going on about you and getting a good handle on things.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) - You are one who always likes to bé where the action is, and group activities could be your cup of tea.In fact, the more integrated the activity, the more fun it is likely to be for you.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - Instead of trying to step over others to achieve your objectives, you’ll invite them to join you, knowing they’ll have much to offer.You’ll let it be known that all will share in the coffers.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) —¦• Some kind of arrangement in which you are presently involved can be better adjusted to everyone’s benefit.If you have some improvements in mind, make your suggestions at this time.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Most endeavors or ventures you share with others are apt to be the ones that will offer the greatest rewards, so it behooves you to be a team player.What you do on your own won’t be as gratifying.Wednesday, April 8,2009 With a double fit, you should declare By Phillip Alder Confucius, who died in 479 B.C., said, “The scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar.” We have been looking at hands with a good trump fit and how this generates extra trump tricks.Even better than a fit is a double fit, with at least eight cards in two suits.Then you will win more tricks than your combined point-count would normally imply.The basic rule for a double fit is: overbid and declare.If you have a double fit, so do your opponents, and they will also win more tricks than their point-count suggests.This deal, which occurred many years ago, is a spectacular example.The auction was involved.But note some key points: South did not use the Unusual No-trump, because he had a two-card disparity between his long suits.When West heard about a spade fit, he showed his second suit, allowing partner to judge what to do at the five-level.And North, who knew both sides had a double fit, was happy to bid six diamonds with two key honors in his partner’s suits.Now West misjudged.He knew that his side had the balance of points, so he North 04-08-09 A V ?* West A 9 4 3 2 9 3 2 K 7 6 A 9 8 East A Q 10 8 7 6 A K 8 7 J 5 K K J 5 J 10 6 Q 5 4 3 2 5 4 South

diamonds doubled and made was worth 1,090.West should have taken out insurance, bidding six spades.Yes, six spades doubled goes down one, costing 200, but that is a lot cheaper.CROSSWORD 37 40 42 43
