it was a done deal from our standpoint.” The Leadership of the SRC is voted on annually, with presidents serving a oneyear term.Responding to borough councillor Mark McLaughlin’s comments this week in The Record that the construction delays are increasing the risk of serious damage due to the arch bridge over the Massawippi River, Peabody said simply that were the bridge to be closed, “we wouldn’t have any way to get to school.” The vast majority of students who live off campus face a significant barrier in the rivers that border the Bishop’s campus, with the only viable route across being the bridge.“You can feel the bridge shaking when a transport truck passes over.” Peabody shared, stating that while students might not necessarily be aware of exactly how damaging the high traffic volume is to the bridge, many do not feel that it is safe.“This is a risk not just for students, but for community members and drivers as well.” He said, adding that the SRC strongly advocates for the “speedy completion” of the 410, out a contract since August 2011.Primary issues in the dispute were wages and changes the company wanted to make to the pension plan.The issue of the pension was at the heart of the dispute.“The employer had decided to terminate the defined benefit plan, but we managed to maintain the status quo for current employees of the company,” said USW representative Guy Gaudette.New Waterville TG employees will be entitled, for their part, to a defined contribution plan.Regarding the issue of wages, the new agreement provides for an increase of 3 per cent retroactive to Aug.1, 2012 and of 2.5 per cent and 1.5 per cent for the next two years.City looking for water projects Sherbrooke TJie City of Sherbrooke is launching a call for proposals from local organizations operating in its territory in connection with the quality of surface water.Some $70,000 awarded by the Regional Conference of Elected Officials in the Eastern Townships (CRE) to the MRC and the City of Sherbrooke (as a separate entity from the MRC), through its intervention strategy on water quality.Activity carried out with the assistance of this grant should be part of a master water plan (PDE) established by a watershed organization (OBV) in- volved in these territories.Projects must be carried out on the territory of Sherbrooke and priority will be given to projects within the PDE of the Magog River, but related projects for the Saint-François are not excluded.Projects chosen will benefit from financial assistance that will cover 50 per cent of costs associated with its implementation.The City of Sherbrooke may add a supplemental amount.Organizations interested in this grant must submit their proposals by 4:30 p.m., Monday, Jan.14, 2013.To download the procedure for the submission of projects, see sher-brooke.ca / qualitedeleau.out of interest for public well being.Even without considering hypothetical bridge construction, though, Peabody echoes concerns already voiced about the volume of traffic on College Street, especially in the morning and late afternoon.Asked how the SRC would face this prolonged risk to safety, the SRC president mentioned that the school, in collaboration with the borough council are already lobbying for a time delay to be installed on the college crosswalk.“ (The Transport Ministry) has agreed with the idea in principle, but they have yet to make any firm commitment.” Michel Caron, Bishop’s University’s Director of Buildings and Grounds, was a part of the team that helped decide the proposed route of the 410 around Bishop’s.He highlighted the original goals of the project as being the reduction of traffic on borough streets for the purposes of health and safety, a reduction of noise pollution related, again, to heavy traffic and a general maintenance and development of the beauty of the campus and surrounding community.Asked about the schedule change, he said that he had no particular comment except to say that, “we have to live with it, it’s the government that decides.” Representatives for the MTQ could not be reached for comment.^ Spaghetti Fundraiser Supper ^ for Sarah & Zachary Haseltine’s Trust Fund Michel Puval Advertising Consultant Serving the entire Eastern Townships with three publications RECORD Townships Outlet Brnme Comity NEWS One number 819 569-9525 mduval@sherbrookerecord.com V SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17 4:30 p.m.to 7:30 p.m.Cornerstone, 102 Queen S., Lennoxville Prices: $8/adult, $6/child (5 to 12 years old) SPECIAL: Family of 4: $25.00 (2 adults & 2 children) Additional children: $3.A great way to enjoy a delicious home cooked meal and support Sarah and Zachary!

When West sacrificed in four spades.North was sure that his side could defeat four spades doubled (they would have gotten 300), but guessing that that would not be enough to compensate for a vulnerable game bonus, he raised to five hearts.At first glance.South needs East to have at least one club honor.But whenever you have this holding (or A-QIO or A-Q-9), think elimination and endplay.South takes the first trick with his spade ace, plays a diamond to dummy’s ace, ruffs a diamond high, and returns to West North 11-15-12 4 8 3 ?K Q 10 ?A 7 6 4 ?8 5 3 2 East * J 9 5 4 K Q 10 7 4 2 V 6 3 V 2 ?K 10 9 2 4 Q J 8 3 ?K Q 9 7 * 6 4 South 4 A 6 VAJ98754 4 5 * A J 10 Dealer: East Vulnerable: North-South South West North East 2 4 4 V 4 4 5 V All pass Opening lead: ?5 dummy with a trump.If hearts break 3-0, declarer takes two club finesses.Here, though, he ruffs another diamond high, crosses to dummy with a heart (drawing West’s remaining trump), and ruffs the last diamond.Then declarer leads his last spade.East will probably take the trick and shift to the club six, but South finesses.West wins but is endplayed.He must either return a club into declarer’s tenace or lead his last spade, which South ruffs in the dummy and sluffs a club from his hand.CROSSWORD Across 39 In 24 Subway addition?44 Golf hole’s edge 1 Elegant trinket 40 Before, to the Bard 25 Club with the motto “To Make the 46 Uniformed forces 6 Yam or taro 42 “Actually, that’s not true” Best Better” 47 WWI German vice admiral 11 “Talk of the Nation” airer 43 Reasons for returns 26 Beset 50 USAF stealth plane 14 Not proximate 45 Easily identifiable teams, in casual 27 Milan’s La 51 “ to do it!” 15 “The Princess Bride” kidnapper _ games 28 Fully committed 52 Trail Montoya 48 Shared currency 29 Traveled down the Grand Canal, say 53 Brangelina, e.g.16 Rivière contents 49 Really quiet, in music 30 Has met before 54 Tic-tac-toe option 17 Negotiator’s assets 50 USS Missouri nickname 31 JFK listings 55 Quash 20 Textbook updates, e.g.: Abbr.52 Digital image unit 32 College srs.’ tests 56 Element in hemoglobin 21 Pricey screens 55 Through 37 Soup with a bento 57 Egyptian dangers 22 Nuts for soft drinks 58 1885 Van Gogh painting (whose sub- 38 Named for a prez, Philly public 59 Dick 23 Stage signal jects may have appreciated the ends of square also known as Love Park 60 Philosopher Mo- 24 Synthesizer pioneer 25 Utterly squashed 32 Come undone 33 Be just too sweet 34 Inkling 35 __Lopez: chess opening 36 Mickey D’s breakfast item C A P E R O M E G A A E S O P T N T S S T C H 1 C A R A D A rJ A V O N M E L R lC O M P ¦ s T E W A L E E P E A R L E N D 1 L A T E L O U 1 S A R M S T G E T S E T BARES D E T R 1 N S A N E W Y D R A 8 1 D L E E Y E E E K I T E V E N E 1 R K J E R A 1 N E L B E J' E E Sl 17-, 25- and 45-Across) 61 Angkor____: Cambodian temple 62 Die (out) 63 Trio with notable beards 64 “Star Trek: DSN” role 65 Below-average Joe 66 Eternities Down 1 Big screen pig 2 Third-generation release of2012 3 24-Down containers 4 Part of ILO: Abbr.5 Pacific-12 Conference member 6 Windshield application 7 Pac-12 member, e.g.8 Some troughs 9 It’s usually broken before use 10 “You da man!” 11 Author of “The Sandman” graphic novels 12 Respected Smurf 13 Muscovite, e.g.: Abbr.18 Think tank product 19 Cheap sauce 23 Keep frojn going higher 41 Master card?M W 0 W L 1 M A r O K E R L O 1 N S O T T S R A pf A P 1 R E X 1 S T D E c K S i 12 13 6 35 40 50 51 58 61 64 1 ‘T Page 16 Thursday, November 15, 2012 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record caRavaH Kips ¦5mnn iii!^ fli t — ®~ «¦s HOLIDAY EVENT lüïîlsf1 MlülliL iî|il|ÜI!
