‘Thank God it's over for another year' Audrey Stanger feted at 100th birthday party One year old neighbour’s granddaughter Emilie McCaully came to Audrey Stanger’s 100th birthday party PHOTO: PERRY BEATON ; By Christina Parsons Special to The Record MAGOG - With her sense of humor still intact, Audrey Stanger celebrated her 100th birthday yesterday with family and friends who had come from all directions to spend this special day with her.The birthday girl, who lives in Magog, received cards from tire Governor General of Canada, Romeo Leblanc, and Queen Elizabeth II.Deliveries of flowers inundated the house and well-wishers stopped by.Mrs.Stanger’s secret to longevity is simple: “Just to live I think and do everything I was told not to do”.Her daughter, Joan, agreed her mother has always been stubborn.Mrs.Stanger, who was born Gertrude Audrey Thorne, grew up in Montreal and lived in Cote des Neiges.She had one sister, Mona.She attended Miss Edgar and Miss Cramp’s school in Montreal.Before she was married, she picked fruit in the Niagara valley and drove an ambulance in Montreal during World War I.Mrs.Stanger isn’t entirely sure of her exact wedding date, and when asked she responded wittily, “Before I had children.” She had four children with her husband, Edward Arthur Stanger: Joan, Peter, David and Michael.Joan came from Portland, Maine, for the birthday celebration, Peter drove out from his home in St.Anicet, Que., and David didn’t have to go far since he only lives a mile down the road.Michael is now living in Victoria, B.C.and couldn’t make it.From this brood, came 10 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.Mrs.Stanger’s husband worked as an electrical engineer with Hydro Quebec while she stayed home to raise her family.The youngest, Michael, was born 19 years after his sister Joan.“I remember driving my mother to the hospital (when she was in labor),” said Peter.The woman who went on a trip around the world when she was close to 80, said she feels about 70 now.“I’m usually alright,” she said when one of her visitors asked how she felt.Joan bought her a cane sev eral years ago and Mrs.Stanger was not happy about it: “Why are you trying to make me old?” Only in the past year has she started using it.“She has been in good health, she falls down and nothing happens, never any broken bones,” said Joan.Mrs.Stanger is still living in her own home, but a nurse’s aide is always present to look after her.One of the women takes her into Magog occasionally so she gets out.What did she think of all the hoopla over her birthday?‘Thank God it’ over for one whole year.” Amis Lapierre comforted his sister Brigitte as she watched the-amily’ s home burn.For story see Page 3 photo: paul cherry Chretien criticized by U.S.for being too cozy with Cuba By Julian Beltrame and Aileen McCabe Southam Newspapers WASHINGTON - The controversy created by Foreign Minister Lloyd Axworthy’s visit to Havana has prompted the toughest comments to date by Prime Minister Jean Chretien on the Cuba issue.As Axworthy wound up a two-day visit to Havana on Wednesday, Chretien hit back hard at U.S.criticism of Canada, which has for decades refused to join in Washington’s attempts to isolate President Fidel Castro diplomatically and economically.“I’m quite happy that Canada can have this special relationship with Cuba,” Chretien told reporters during an official visit to France.“Of course, in the United States, they have a problem with that since a long time, but I’ve always said, and I believe, that I don't agree with their policy.“You know, they’re just making it possible for Castro to stay in power because he has an excuse.He blames the Americans.Let them normalize the situation between Cuba and the United States and I don't think that Mr.Castro will have it easier.” Chretieri's strong words came in response to remarks by U.S.Senator Jesse Helms, who labelled the Canadian visit “shameful.” In Cuba,- Axworthy’s trip ended with a Cuban declaration of intent to improve the country's much-criticized human rights record - part of a 14-point joint communique that also included trade and economic aid.During six hours of talks with Castro, Axworthy specifically raised human rights in Cuba, where political dissidents have been routinely harassed and arrested for years.Axworthy acknowledged he had failed to achieve a break- SeeCHRETIEN: page 2 The RECORD — Thursday, January 23, 1997 - 2 Religious schools at centre of linguistic conflict No conflict in Canadian history has caused more division between Catholics and Protestants (code for French and English) than has that of religious schools.Quebec’s favorite racist, Lionel Groulx, set his infamous novel L’Appel de la Race, in World War 1 Canada.The conflict, however, is not conscription but rather the quashing of French (code, Catholic) education in Ontario.The villain of the novel is not a Protestant Briton, but an Irish Catholic, who has been assimilated by the “anglosaxon race.” An earlier Canadian novel, Francis Grey’s The Cure of St.Philippe, details the Quebec reaction to the Manitoba Schools Question whose outcome allowed for non-sectarian education (code, no Catholic schools in Manitoba (code, the Rest of Canada).This policy confirmed the general Quebec interpretation of the Riel execution.Quite simply the winning side was doing what it always had done.It was imposing its language and religion upon the conquered.In return, the losing side was resisting, waiting for a better dav.And some are still wait- CHRETIEN: mg.Though the Catholics of Quebec were always responsible for the education of their flock, the various elites of French Quebec were never very enthusiastic about popular education.The Roman Catholic Church assumed that a limited education for the majority of the population would allow for a continued control of the majority of the population.A variation of this philosophy continues today: it is illegal for a public school in Quebec to teach English as a second language before Grade four.Individual schools and their boards have been taken to court by the provincial government for this infraction.Strangely enough, the Eastern Townships School Board has benefited for years from a special subsidy which allows for all-day bilingual kindergarten.Thus, the Quebec government funds a program which allows English students to learn French, but a similar program for French students to learn English would be against the law.Until fairly recently the school situation in Quebec was fairly simple.There were Catholic schools for Roman Catholics (generally in French and in English where numbers warranted).There were Protestant schools in English for everyone else.Despite inventive conspiracy theories about the assimilating English school system, this historical French-Catholic rejection of the immigrant class explains why “ethnics” are attracted to the Protestant and English-Catholic schools.The fall of the English-speaking business class in Quebec led to the fragmentation of the Protestant system.Worried that anglophone par- ents would do the obvious (enrol their children in French schools so that their children would be perfectly bilingual), Protestant school boards, particularly those in the Montreal area, began offering French immersion classes.The success of these schools, wherein many anglophone teachers were retrained to become “francophone” teachers for the immersion classes and where only the “slower” students were kept in an English stream, is highly questionable.Francophone Protestants were also demanding a denominational education in French, which Protestant school boards have had to provide.So much so that the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal (PSBGM), by far the largest Protestant board in Quebec, has almost as many students in its French system as in its English system.This divided loyalty explains why the PSBGM and the Montreal Teachers’ Association (MTA) take absolutely no lead in any debate about education in Quebec.This division also explains the ludicrous situa- tion that the MTA found itself in when a small group of its members hijacked the Executive of the MTA and tried to force a cancellation of a speech at last year’s teachers’ convention by Mordecai Richler, Quebec novelist, defender of individual rights, and a former graduate of the PSBGM.There seems to be a general political consensus that it is time to change the school board structure from a religious basis to a language basis.The Protestant side, in particular, seem anxious to deal.The transfer of English Catholics to English school boards would just about equal the transfer of French Protestants to French boards.This fact is of utmost importance to anglophone bureaucrats and administrators, whose jobs are dependent upon a certain student population.However, the Catholic side is not quite as willing to abandon its zealots as the Protestants are.Next week, a look at school-board reorganization and the constitutional problem.Continued from page one through in human rights, but he said Castro had shown a willingness to begin opening up the harsh, Stalinist-style system in place in Cuba for more than three decades.Axworthy said Cuban officials had agreed to set up, with Canada's help, an ombudsman's office to allow citizens' grievances to be aired publicly.But the results of the Canadian visit are not likely to impress the U.S.government, which has for years criticized the regime's human rights record.“Cuba doesn’t change its stripes after 37 years,” said State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns.Inside Ann Landers ., .13 Entertainment .9 Births and Deaths .10 Farm and Business ., .7 Classified , .11 Living , .8 Comics , .14 Opinions .6 Crossword .13 Sports .15 “Frankly, the United States remains skeptical that the Cuban government is, in fact, prepared to take systematic and meaningful steps that would lead towards a transition to democratic rule in Cuba” or improve the human rights climate, Burns said.He said U.S.skepticism is founded on 37 years of dealing - or not dealing - with Castro, and claimed the arrest of “several prominent Cuban democracy activists” prior to Axworthy's visit as evidence.He refused to name them.While neither U.S.sanctions, nor Canada's and Europe’s engagement with Cuba on the issues, has had dramatic impacts on Castro, Cuba watchers note that at least Canada has the advantage of consistency.“With every other country in the world, the U.S.agrees with Canada,” says Wayne Smith, a Cuba expert with Washington-based Johns Hopkins University.John Kirk, professor of Latin American Studies at Halifax's Dalhousie University, notes that Canada's policy with Cuba is supported by most of the world and that by seeking to isolate Cuba, the U.S.has merely succeeded in isolating itself.But Kirk believes it would be a mistake for Canada to believe it can dramatically affect Castro's policy on democratizing the island.Regional forecast Low High Sherbrooke Morn Cld 0 0 Thetford Mines Morn Cld 0 0 Cowansville Clearing 0 0 Richmond Clearing 0 0 Stanstead Morn Cld 0 0

The RECORD - Thursday, January 23, 1997 - 3 Townships iFwf.Morning blaze leaves Hatley family homeless Firefighters from Hatley, North Hatley and Sherbrooke worked to contain the blaze.HATLEY TOWNSHIP(PC) -A morning fire destroyed a home in a rural part of Hatley yesterday.Gaetane Lapierre discovered the fire in her home around 10 a.m.She said she heard a strange buzzing noise coming from the telephone and went into the kitchen to check it out.When she realized the fire was out of control she warned the rest of her family and ran out of the house.Gaetane, her son, and her husband Aimé all escaped unharmed.“She starting screaming that there was a fire and we all got out of there as fast as we could,” said Louis Lapierre, Gaetane’s son, as he looked on helplessly as the fire consumed his home.Firefighters from Hatley, North Hatley and Sherbrooke all worked to contain the blaze, but by 11 a.m.more than half the house was burned to the ground.“We’ll just have to start again from zero,” said the son, standing on his family’s farmland while North Hatley firefighters pumped water out of a nearby well.“We’ll be all right.We have places to stay while we get our lives back together again.It’s not like we have to clear a space in the barn and sleep with the animals,” Lapierre said.His father worked busily trying to keep a dirt road to their home clear for the emergency vehicles that were coming and going to his house while Louis comforted his sister Brigitte, who lives in a house nearby, as she cried while watching her family’s home burn down.An inspector from the Sherbrooke fire department said the fire was possibly started through electrical lines.The fire apparently started at the back of the home, possibly in a garage, and worked its way quickly through the rest of the house.Barbecue bandit convicted of robbeiy COWANSVILLE - A 20-year-old man has been convicted of robbing an all night dépanneur in Cowansville Dec.8.Renaud Ouellette, a repeat offender, appeared in court in Cowansville Tuesday where he was found guilty of armed robbery.Quebec Court judge Pierre Bachand sided with the Crown Prosecutor, sentencing Ouellette to 18 months in jail for his role in the late-night robbery.Ouellette’s defence attorney had requested a nine month sentence.Ouellette is convicted of having entered the Church Street dépanneur on the night of Dec.8 with an accomplice.Pulling out a large hunting knife and a barbecue fork, two men demanded the contents of the cash drawer, which contained about $200.Grabbing a case of beer and a couple of cartons of cigarettes, the two then fled the scene.Police arrived on the scene within minutes and followed the footprints of the two in the new fallen snow to Ouellette’s nearby apartment.Along the way they found the knife and fork used in the robbery.Ouellette’s alleged accomplice is a 17-year-old youth, and is still awaiting trial in youth court for his role in the robbery.His name cannot be made public because he is a minor.CORRECTION In a Jan.16 article entitled ‘Tory fundraiser preparing for comeback’, it was reported that Peter White, chairman of the fundraising wing of the Progressive Conservative Party, anticipated making gains in Quebec, but not in Ontario or the Atlantic provinces where the Liberals now hold a majority of seats.In fact, White said he expects Conservative candidates to win many seats from the Liberals during the next federal election, including those in provinces where a majority is held by the Liberals.The Record regrets the error.Got comments about The Record?Share them with us.Call 569-9511.They're talking about i in the restaurant coming February 7 ^ Now, more than ever.More community coverage LOCAL NEWS • VIEWS • PHOTOS Record it's all about us! Townships 4 - The RECORD - Thursday, January 23, 1997 Heavy equipment robbers crash through Caisse By Paul Cherry SHERBROOKE - Members of three different police forces in the Eastern Townships are looking for some very gutsy bank robbers.Early yesterday morning the Caisse Populaire in St.Hérménégilde, a village near Coaticook, was broken into by two or more thieves armed with a tow truck.Quebec Police Force spokesperson Serge Dubord said the thieves smashed through the side door of the Caisse Populaire at around 1:30 a.m.The truck knocked out the door leaving a hole large enough for the robbers to take off with a safe.“The officers who responded to the alarm must have come just minutes after they took off,” said Dubord.“There were still some fresh tires tracks on the road for the officers to follow.” The QPF officers followed the tracks to Barford where they found the tow truck, which had been stolen from a garage in Lennoxville Tuesday evening, parked next to a pickup truck - which had been stolen from QPF property in Weedon on January 10.“The people who stole the safe must have seen the officers coming because it looks like they took off in a hurry into a wooded area next to the road,” said Dubord.The officers found the Caisse’s safe unopened in the stolen pickup truck.“This must have been well planned because it appears the robbers ran through the woods and got into another vehicle that was waiting for them,” Dubord said.He said both the Sherbrooke Police criminal investigation division and the Coaticook Police Force are investigating the break-in but do not have any suspects yet.Last summer the Caisse Populaire in East Hereford was broken into in a similar fashion.In that break-in, one or more individuals stole a payloader from a nearby construction equipment site and rammed it through one of the Caisse’s walls.In that robbery the individuals made off with the safe in a pickup truck.Three weeks before the East Hereford robbery, someone knocked a wall in a Saint-Elie-d’Orford IGA and made off with two safes.In the IGA robbery a payloader was used as well.“So far there is no evidence to indicate that the robberies are all connected,” Dubord said.“But there are definitely similarities in the way the robberies were committed.” Truck slammed through front safe.Mr W'\ X il 'I 1 ! ____ifc •».~ : i of the Caisse and thieves fled with RECORD PHOTOS: KATHY MERCIER Learning is fun with Mr.C at Princess Elizabeth Following a busy December, and the well attended Christmas play, “Slapshot Santa”,students have settled into a much quieter January.A solid term of academic work is on the agenda.Doug Buchanan, a social worker with the C.L.S.C., began what is to become a monthly seminar on Positive Parenting.Attendance for the first session was good, the topic was homework.Mr.Buchanan gave a brief talk on ways to establish a homework routine and then gave parents a chance to ask questions and discuss their own problems with getting their children to do homework.Some of future topics will highlight areas such as selfesteem, chores and routines and getting along with their peers.These sessions are open to all parents at P.E.E.S.Watch for notice in February.Geordie Theatre Productions of Montreal entertained the students on Friday, Jan.17th with their production of “Dawn Quixote”.Julie Lorranger and Nora Gilday, will be leaving for a six month sabbatical at the end of January.We hope they will enjoy a well deserved rest and we look forward to seeing thema gain in the fall.The P.E.E.S.School Committee will hold its annual flea market in the school cafeteria March 22.This is a great chance to support the school and pick up a few bargains at the same time.If you would rather sell than buy, tables can be rented by calling Debbie at 868-1805.This month we are highlighting Mr.Clowery and his Grade 5 class.Mr.Clowery, known as Mr.C.came to P.E.E.S.from Sherbrooke where he taught for a number of years.He has enlivened the halls here for the last 11 years.His sense of humor has made him quite popular with his students, as well as parents and staff.When not entertaining with his singing in the halls, Mr.C.finds timefor a variety of hobbies.An avid sportsman, he enjoys softball, skiing and fishing.He is known for his fishing flies he ties himself.That must account for those great catches! The students in Mr.C.’s class have been learning some interesting words in spelling this week.Words like Nordic, binding and herringbone among others.Finding definitions and writing sentences using these words was a prelude to the practical part of the lesson.Students have snapped on their skies and hit the hills in the back yard of the school.Mr.Clowery holds five such clinics at P.E.E.S.teaching manoeuvers such as the herringbone, snowplow Christie, and stem turning.As a grand finale to this teaching unit on skiing, the whole class tries out their newly acquired skills on a three day trip to Parc du Mount Orford, where they ski like seasoned veterans.They spend the nights at the Round Hearth in Eastman where they warm their toes around the fire and then, if they have any energy left after a day of skiing, they can challenge the parent volunteers to a rousing game of dodgeball round Hearth’s gym.To make this trip possible the students are involved in a number of fund-raising events.A Christmas hamper raffle, chocolate bar sale, and a rummage sale to help to cover the costs of this educational trip.Mr.C.has completed this teaching unit on skiing for the last nine years, and students agree no one makes learning as fun as Mr.C.There is a class picture hanging in the display case near Mr.Clowery’s class.Look closely and you’ll see, that it is not the P.E.E.S.Grade 5 but rather that of the Ecole St.Jean Bosco, a French school in Magog* and sister class of P.E.E.S.The St.Jean Bosco’s Grade 5 class have had a tour of our school as well as been invited to a special presentation of "Slapshot Santa” our Christmas play- RccorH salute ïmmm Cookshire Elementary School Fundraising Project: A Real Success!

narrow roads of my youth, The little house in the woods.I’m back standing outside die old home, Puffs of smoke rise slowly to the sky.My Dad and brothers working the fields, The bay horses pulling the plow.I step once more into the kitchen door, The old smells rush back to me.Smoke from the cook stove.Homemade bread rising on the counter, Freshly waxed floors.Sun dried clothes on die table.I weep from the empdness I turn as if I hear voices, I call out Dad, John, Tom aie you there?Only in my memories 1 smile as I once more hear Mom singing.As we prayed at night.Her kiss good night.Ikying once more in my little room.I hear the night sounds.The creaking of the house.The cows in the field, the night bird song.I weep from the emptiness I’m old and alone now, and all I have are my memories.By

A.Helping Circle and Canusa Units hold meeting The RECORD — Thursday, January 23, 1997 — 9 Arts & Entertainment New book offers a good glimpse at the Armed Forces What is the matter with the Canadian military?By Major-General (ret) Robert Gaudreau SUTTON - The title of this article should have caught your attention as it seems that not a week goes by without some scandal rocking the military.Well, someone has found out and managed to express it eloquently in book form.The book is titled Significant Incident and is written by David Bercuson, a well known historian, commentator and author, who has published or edited more than 30 academic and popular books.The murder of a young Somali and the ill-fated demise of the Canadian Airborne Regiment are used as a vehicle to review the history of Canada’s army and through it, provide what I consider a totally correct state of affairs in the Department of National Defence.Bercuson explains in a clear and concise fashion what armies are all about and how the Canadian army gained its excellent reputation in the major wars of this century.The second part of his book is devoted to describing today’s soldier by explaining current structures including the place of Regiments and families.The last part of the book reviews the 27-year history of the Canadian Airborne Regiment, describes what it is to be a paratrooper and provides details on the circumstances surrounding the deployment to Somalia which have not received enough public attention.The underlying message in Bercuson’s book is that the crisis in the military has been long in coming and is in large part due to the unification of the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces in the late '60s and early ’70s.This exercise done with a view of improvingadministra-tive efficiency and imposing civilian bureaucratic control of the military is the root cause of the cancer eating For the Record away the military ethos.This ethos, not well published in the first place, is seriously threatened by a country, a government and its own military structure, who no longer understand, much less value, military virtues.The issues raised in this book should not be a revelation to the Department of National Defence.The Commanders of the army have been concerned about the erosion of the military ethos for the last 20 years.All of these Commanders have locked horns with a series of deputy ministers over issues related to the ethos and funnily enough none of these Commanders was ever appointed Chief of the Defence Staff.Those army generals all understood the seriousness of the disease creeping in as the army, of the three services, was the most vulnerable to its ravages.It took unfortunately the murder of an inno- cent in a politically sensitive time to have the illness recognized.The sooner we separate the military and civilian components of DND, the sooner the military and the army in particular will be on the way to full recovery.The recently announced shut down of the Somalia Inquiry will most likely prevent the aforementioned rec- ommendation from becoming a conclusion in it’s final report.The good news is that Defense Minister Young has set-up a blue ribbon panel to restructure the military and David Bercuson is part of it.Significant Incident, published by McClelland and Stewart is compulsory reading for anyone concerned about our Armed Forces.Entertainment notes — HOLLYWOOD - The 1942 Casablanca has been named the best movie of all time in a survey of film critics conducted by the Internet magazine Mr.Showbiz.Other movies making the top 10 are, in order of priority: The Godfather Part II (1974), North By Northwest (1959), Citizen Kane (1941), Lawrence Of Arabia (1962), Manhattan (1979), Gone With The Wind (1939), Chinatown (1974), The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), and City Lights (1931).• • • There’s a tight lid of secrecy on the filming of Eyes Wide Shut, the latest film from reclusive director Stanley Kubrick.It stars Tom Cruise and wife Nicole Kidman.When Kidman was in New York recently doing interviews for her new movie, Portrait Of A Lady, reporters tried to get her to talk.But Kidman smilingly refused.“My lips are sealed." she told reporters.However she did hint at the subject matter: “It’s about sexual obsession and jealousy.” t I » SATURDAY, JANUARY 25 9:30-11:30

The RECORD - Thursday, January 23, 1997 - 13 “No power” to incestuous couple Dear Ann Landers: A while ago, you reprinted a letter about an incestuous couple.I'm writing to object to the wanton attack you made on that brother and sister.He was a 60-ish divorced man, and she was a widow in her late 50s.They had sex twice a week.You said they were sick.I think your attitude is overly judgmental and narrow-minded.If a pair of unmarried senior citizens, even a brother and sistei; can find sexual satisfaction in a monogamous relationship, I say more power to them! Since the woman is past child-bearing age, their genetic background is totally irrelevant.As for your charge that they're denying themselves the "opportunity to have normal relationships," both parties have been married before and are fully cognizant of what they're supposedly missing.If the writer had said, "When we were children, we were next-door neighbors," I'll bet you, too, would have said, "Congratulations, and more power to you." — A FRIEND OF HUMANITY IN REISTERSTOWN, MD.DEAR FRIEND OF HUMANITY These two are a bit more than "next-door neighbors." They are brother and sister, and I am not about to tell them, "More power to you." If it is the need to release sexual energy we're talking about, a far better alternative is solitary sex.I recommend it.Dear Ann Landers: I am a 14-year-old girl, and I have noticed something about the letters you print.So many people who write seem to think skinny people have it easy.What they don't know is that being skinny is not all that wonderful.I have been asked how much I weigh by complete strangers.This is very rude and hurtful.I have never heard of anyone going up to a fat person and asking, "How much do you weigh?" I get comments from relatives about how I need to put on some weight.Ann, for a couple of years now, I have been trying to add pounds to my 5-foot-7-inch, 95-pound body, but no matter how hard I try, I can't gain an ounce.The overweight girls in our school get asked out a lot.So far; no guy has asked me anywhere.So, for those people who think being skinny is terrific, please let them know they are wrong.Tell them that it's a lot easier to take off weight than to put it on.- A GIRL IN SANTA ROSA DEAR SANTA ROSA: More people in America are overweight than underweight.Thank you for being an eloquent spokesperson for the silent minority.Dear Ann Landers: I have enjoyed reading your columns on ridiculous lawsuits, and I would like to add another example to your fine collection that I read in the Rockford, 111., Register Star.The sad thing about this example is that the courts are tied up wasting time on nonsense and the taxpayers have to foot the bill.- R.E.B.IN CHERRY VALLEY, ILL.DEAR R.E.B.: Thanks for sending the article.Here it is: "A man is suing Michigan for $1 million because he says he Crossword Ann Landers caught a cold in the drafty Capitol rotunda in Lansing.Chris Morris filed the suit, saying he caught 'a cold and a hard cough' while visiting an art exhibit in February "Chris DeWitt, spokesman for Attorney General Frank Kelley, said the whole thing is 'ridiculous,' but 'one of our assistants will have to spend time on this lawsuit, so it does end up costing taxpayers money.’ A clerk at the Ingham County Courthouse said the $90 fee for filing a suit was waived because Morris is broke."John Truscott, spokesman for Gov.John Engler, said, The irony is we've heard for years the Capitol is full of hot air.I don't know where the cold air is coming from.”’ North 01-23-97 * A 5 2 v Q 7 6 ?A K * 8 3 J 10 5 West East * K A J 10 9 V A 5 4 V K J 10 9 8 3 ?9 7 4 3 ?8 2 * A Q J 6 2 A 10 9 South A Q 8 V 2 7 6 4 3 ?Q 7 6 «fc K 5 4 Vulnerable: East-West Dealer: West South West North East 1 * Dbl 1 v 3 A Pass 4 a All pass Opening lead: v A Think, pause, think again By Phillip Alder “Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse.It’s a bum’s life.Quitting acting, that’s the sign of maturity.” Who said that?At the bridge table, “maturity” is keeping your eye firmly on the ball.I know from painful personal experience that when something unexpected happens, it is easy to continue fatally with one’s original plan, when a change of course is needed.Don’t be impulsive: Quit playing momentarily and reconsider.Take this deal as an example.You are in four spades.West starts with the ace and another heart.After ruffing, how do you continue?There is debate about the meaning of South’s jump to three spades.Some treat it as stronger than two spades, but I disagree with this.A jump to two spades shows about 9-11 points.With more than that, you cue-bid.The jumps to three spades and four spades show long suits (at least six-baggers) and offensive, not defensive, values.After ruffing the second heart, declarer played a trump to West’s king and dummy’s ace.He continued with a spade to his queen and started on the diamonds.However, East ruffed the third diamond and switched to the club 10: one down.When the spade king pops up, South should pause.There is only one danger to the contract — that East gets on play for a club lead through the king.Here, just duck from the dummy, letting West have the trick.South wins the return, draws trumps and runs the diamonds in peace.Marlon Brando made that comment about acting.But I cannot help thinking he is glad that he didn’t follow his own advice.©1907 by NEA, Inc.BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER 0 Transports Québec DRIVE CRHEFOLLV!
