Reed picked up the mill to fuel its own expanding publishing operations, which ironically would include eventually the Daily Mirror, long divested from the Rothermere porfolio.So Stadacona has more or less seen it all from fascist newspaper tycoons to corrupt towers of American industrial might.Meanwhile the mill keeps motoring along, turning out more and more paper, and always turning a tidy profit.parents, minor league players, and coaches how to develop a positive attitude that fosters healthy competition, co-operative teamwork, fair play and grace under pressure.The three-day camps are conducted in partnership with the Canadian Hockey Association and include on-ice and office sessions focusing on skills development, drills, games, and safety instruction.The camp at the Rock Forest Recreation Centre will take place from Aug.16-18,2002.On Friday evening, Aug.15, Bossy will hold a session for parents and coaches at the Delta Hotel in Sherbrooke.Anyone associated with minor hockey is invited to attend this important session at no charge.Quebec Affairs Peter Black Mike Bossy to host hockey camp in Sherbrooke Weather Today: Cloudy with clear periods and 40 per cent probability of showers.Risk of thunderstorm.High near 28.Winds southwesterly 15 to 30 km/h.Saturday: Variable cloudiness.Low near 17.High near 27.Sunday: Showers.Low near 16.High near 27.Probability of precipitation 60 per cent.Monday: Scattered showers.Low near 18.High near 25.Ben by Daniel Shelton .CO YOU \ HAVE TO BRIN6 IT BACK N OYJlJ I'M RETURNING THIS 0ATHIN6 v SUIT ^ I MEAN, C0ULPNT YOU WAIT TIL TOMORROW?I PONT KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME-I PONT THINK 1 ACTUALLY MEANT ID EVEN WEAR IT IN PUBLIC.YOU WERE RKSHT.ITS TOO SMALL ANP REVEALING- Friday, August 16, 2002 page 3 — THE ¦!

the meantime, Sûreté du Québec arson investigators are combing the ruins to determine the causes and circumstance of the fire that raged out of control for hours before it was put out.It took seven hours to bring the flames under control, said the chief of operations for the Waterloo volunteer fire department Bruno Massé.Massé said the call came in around 2:30 a.m.Waterloo firefighters were at the scene within minutes, but the fire was already raging out of control.“As I left the house 1 saw a yellow-orange dome downtown,” said Massé whose Robinson Road home overlooks the town about 1 /2 kilometer away.Masse said the hardware store was a total loss.He estimated damage at about $3.5 million.Masse said the fire department had to call in reinforcements from the half dozen volunteer forces it has a support agreement with.Aside from its full force of 20 volunteers, the Waterloo department called in partners from Brome Lake, Sutton, Farnham, Bromont, Shefford Township and Cowansville, and each sent between six and ten firefighters.Masse said an extra team from Bromont was called in to man the fire department in case of another fire, and the Granby fire department was put on alert in case more reinforcements were m> W DAVID ANDERSON/SPECIAL The last fire truck left the scene around 1 p.m.All that remained of the huge building were charred rubble and puddles of sooty water.Massé said the fire does not appear to be related to a small fire behind the Metro grocery store earlier that night.Massé said that SQ patrollers, who were called to a fire around 11:30 p.m.Wednesday, doused it with a fire extinguisher.^ Firemen were called back to the scene shortly before 3 a.m., but Massé said it was likely that the fire was not fully extinguished.“The fire index

the peak of the conflagration, between 4 and 5 a.m., firefighters were spraying some 3000 gallons a minute.“That imperiled the town’s water supply,” he remarked adding that firefighters had to go directly to the Yamas-ka.Masse said firefighters used a system of four-inch hoses and pumper trucks to draw water from the river.“We had to set up an above-ground water main system,” he explained.Foster Street, which was a maze of fire hoses, was closed till after 1 p.m.Thursday.Masse said the inferno threatened two nearby buildings, including the Malouin industrial supply warehouse and lumber yard as well as a nearby store.“The store owner came by during the night to warn us the place was filled with chemicals,” Masse said, adding that the information caused firefighters to redouble efforts to ensure it was not engulfed in flames.Because the fire was in a hardware store that houses a variety of paints, chemicals and PVC tubing that can cause toxic fumes, Environment Quebec was called in around 3 a.m.Environment Quebec spokesman Gérard Cusson said that because the plume of grey smoke was not heading towards a populated zone, no emission tests were necessary.He said police officers were asked to check the surrounding territory, but no odor of smoke was detected in inhabited areas and no evacuations were necessary.Cusson said the runoff heading towards the Yamaska River was also checked, but because there was nothing floating on the water, no tests were necessary there either.Cusson said Environment Quebec will ensure no contaminated runoff flows into the Yamaska and inspectors will oversee the cleanup of the site to ensure that charred remains are sent to a sanitary landfill and that the land is not contaminated.89 Queen Street, Lennoxville Cinéma page 4 Friday, August 16, 2002 Record Danville residents must continue to boil water By Stephen McDougall Special to The Record Danville Faced with another high accumulation of coliform bacteria, the town of Danville has advised its residents to again boil their tap water for five minutes before drinking it.“The boiling advisory had to be issued about four days after it was lifted, which means early last week,” said town manager Michel Lecours.“We are now meeting with people from the provincial environment department to find out why our coliform levels are remaining high.” Mayor Charles Noble said the town has made several attempts in the past week to find the source of the bacteria, but have so far been unsuccessful.HomeCentral' Use your Sears Card and take 2 years to pay interest

and when that didn’t do it, we increased the amount of chlorine in the water, but the coliform levels remained high,” he said.“We hope the government experts can help us find the problem, but it will take time.” The most common form of health problem caused by coliform in drinking water is diarrhea.Residents were first advised to boil their water on July 12, just prior to the annual two-week construction holiday period in Quebec.During that time, the town offices were closed down and the boil advisory remained in effect.On July 31, two days after the offices were reopened, the boil water advisory was lifted.Lecours said the town is continually testing the water this week and should know by Monday if the present boil water advisory is still needed.At the town’s monthly public council meeting last Tuesday evening, some residents asked Lecours why the town was still having water problems.Lecours response was that the town’s filtration station is in need of an overhaul, a project he said the town is considering for next year.“But that does not solve our problem now,” he added.The filtration station is set up near the Danville river, close to the intersection of highway 116 and DuCarmel St.Lecours said the filtration station was built in the early 1960s and re- quires the upgrade of several key components, including filters, water compartments, meters, chlorinators and backwash pipes.Lecours said the town has applied for a federal-provincial infrastructure grant to pay for the majority of the station’s upgrade costs.The cost of replacing some of the water system’s components can be expensive.At the same meeting, the council approved the spending of $11,000 to replace an aging pump at pumping station 1.The alternative was to have the pump rebuilt at a cost of $7,000.The council also approved the spending of $450 to set up and program an automated telephone calling system to notify each resident of future water problems.Noble said the system would automatically call residents if a boil advisory is called for, or if there was an interruption of service for a certain sector of town.“The system will know which residents to call depending on the situation,” he said.“We expect it will be a bilingual message given the number of anglophones in this town.It’s a better system than having to put up notices at the post office." In other council news, the council approved the spending of $18,037 to pave the Nicolet Falls road from Forest St.to the intersection with the Highway 255 bypass road.The paving contract went to Sintra Inc., the company that built the bypass road.Fire Bombers on Orford COURTESY THE OUTLET Magog Township firefighters unable to locate afire on Mont Orford Tuesday night were aided yesterday by two fire bomber planes who not only found the fire but put it out.Memphremagog police Capt.Yves Denis told The Record that efforts to find the fire's source, reported around 8 p.m.near the Rond Point restaurant on Rte.141, were fruitless because of the mountainous terrain.Denis said there were in fact two spots where fires were reported.The first was at Pic de l'Ours and the second at Pic du Corbeau.The two CF-215fire bomber planes finally put out the fires around 3 p.m.The extreme dry conditions make the risk of forest fires very high. Friday, August 16, 2002 page 5 ttprnpn Farmers eager to donate hay, but lack transport Quebec farmers have been blessed with an abundance of hay this summer, while their western colleagues have been choking on dust.The problem is, how do you get the hay from here ", ’¦ .jzm Vv *:.MAURICE CROSSFIELD ***** 1 Wanted: Trains, trains and more trains By Maurice Crossfield Brome Lake farmer Tony Roux is on the growing list of farmers wanting to donate hay to their parched western colleagues, but officials can’t find the transportation to do so.“They were supposed to get back to me, and I’m still waiting to hear from them,” Roux said Thursday.“I wonder how many people are in the same boat, jammed up waiting.” Actually the list keeps growing every day, says Luc Chartrand of Hay West, the organization collecting hay to send to western farmers.“We have more hay than we know what to do with,” Chartrand said.“Actually we know what to do with it, we just can’t ship it to where it’s needed.” The need is indeed enormous.A severe drought in Saskatchewan and parts of Alberta has left some 15,000 cattle farmers with no hay crops to speak of, putting the future of some 6 million cows into question.With no rain there’s little available grass now, and definitely nothing to put away for the coming winter.Abundance Meanwhile eastern Canada has been blessed with an abundance of hay this year.A wet spring that led to a hot, drier summer has meant that every farmer has more hay than they need.Faced with this situation Navan Ont.farmer Wyatt McPhail came up with the Hay West idea.“It started at his kitchen table and it just snowballed from there,” Chartrand said.Calls to Liberal government leader Don Boudria resulted in getting ten flatbed rail cars for the hay.The number of cars, donated by Canadian National and Canadian Pacific railways, has since grown to 187.Meanwhile hundreds of farmers from Manitoba to Prince Edward Island have called the toll free number (1-866-HAY-WEST) to offer their excess.Seeing the media reports, Roux decided to pitch in and do his part.“(Paul Lauzière) already offered me the hay, he said if I wanted it I could take it,” he said.“I’ve got enough hay for myself, so I said I’d go cut it and send it out west.” The end result was 200 round bales, or about 80 tons of hay.Baled up over the last three days, it’s ready to go.But Hay West has fallen victim to its own success.The 187 rail cars have been filled, but only with a small fraction of the hay western farmers need.Meanwhile the number of farmers calling to donate hay keeps climbing.“We’ve exhausted the generosity of CN and CP, which was very much appre- ciated,” Chartrand said.“We’re sort of on our own now.” The 6000 bales that have made their way out west are prized possessions.Chartrand said the bales are given out through a lottery system, with the winner getting four or five.“It can tide them over for a couple of months, maybe,” he said.“But there are still all kinds of people waiting.” Goodwill Gesture “Unless the government steps in and puts some trains together, this won’t work out to much more than basically a goodwill gesture,” said Hugh Maynard, executive director of the Quebec Farmer’s Association.“The amount of hay that’s actually getting out there is small potatoes compared with the need." Maynard said hay is far too bulky, and normally it isn’t financially feasible to ship it any significant distance.So when the idea came up, it was new territory.One snag was the need to fumigate the hay before it left to ensure an alfalfa beetle found here doesn’t hitch a ride out west.Maynard said one idea that has been discussed informally at the QFA is having the cattle shipped east for the winter.That would require farms here where the cattle could stay and be fed for the winter, with the aim of returning them to their respective ranches next spring.“Again that’s organizationally a pretty big effort to undertake,” Maynard said.Maynard noted that a lot of farmers are willing to help out, but that they, and the organizations that represent them like the QFA and the Union des Producteurs Agricoles, don’t have the resources.He cited the example of the Trois Rivières branch of the UPA.“They could coordinate hay coming into a depot, but they haven’t been able to figure out how to get it on a train out west,” he said.Over at Hay West, which has set up an office in donated space in Ottawa, efforts are underway to try to solve the transportation dilemma.Cash donations are now being accepted at all Scotia Banks, and through the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (1-888-678-2347).Donations are tax deductible.Chartrand said professional lobbyists are also on the case, looking for either government help or private donations to get more trains.So what does a farmer do if they want to donate hay?Chartrand says call and get your name on the database.And then be patient.“All donations are entered in our database.Then when we get more in one area we’ll send a train to that area as soon as we can,” Chartrand said.“Keep on bringing dona- tions and we will do our best to ship it out.” For Roux, he’d like to see his hay make its way out west, where it can make a difference.He’d like to see Que bee’s bumper crop going where there’s no crop at all.“We have a tremendous supply of hay, it’s unreal,” he said."Maybe it’s not the nest quality hay, but it’s better than sucking dust.” MAURICE CROSSFIELD Some 200 round bales cut over the last three days are ready to go.URGENT!

GIMMB SOMETHING TO BAT! GIMMB SOMETHING FUN TO VO!! ««K-MEf LsaiSSBy Little less nationalism, lots more patriotism Dear Editor, In Canada it is amazing that when we have a crisis of major proportion our politicians have difficulties in working together.Partisan interests too often seem to lead over genuine concern for national unity and the well-being of all Canadians from sea to sea to sea.All Canadians means to me regardless of creed, color, religion, language, province or territory.Regionalism that we have lived over the last ten years, or so I believe, is counter-productive to a strong and united country.A vivid example of that is when we nearly lost the country through a referendum.The prairie provinces do not belong only to the westerners, they belong to all of us Canadians, just like the province of Quebec does not belong only to Québécois, it belongs to all Canadians.We need to think united and work to help each other, especially in time of crisis.A case in point is the shortage of hay for cattle in some areas of Western Canada.I can feel for these Canadian farmers watching their cattle starve and farmers themselves going into bankruptcy or out of business.Why couldn’t all our federal leaders agree in a two-hour meeting to lay down immediately rail transportation to all areas of Canada where Canadians are offering to help out by donating hay.Make a phone call and get going.For example “if you will donate the hay and load it on rail cars we (fédérais) will pay for the transport to the western farmers in need.” I bet you that with electronic communication tools we have today Internet, telemarketing centers etc., a GIMMB BACK MY WATER PISTOU!

a time to broaden its powers.Identifying the nature of the problem and arriving at the best plan of action possible for the overall good of society, all things considered, is the Conservative approach.Both right and left-of-centre views are brought to bear in internal debate and more often than not consensus, when reached, is the better for it.Loyalty to Party, not ideology is what binds Tories together.This loyalty will lead to rejection of his call for folding the PC Party into the CA at next week’s General Meeting.Stephen Harper’, his first loyalty being to ideology, is unable to see loyalty to party as a force to be reckoned with.Consequently he erroneously brands all opposing his aim of uniting the right as “left-of-centre ideologues”.Joe Hueglin, Niagara Falls : ' >V % V* ¦> TV Ws Pi •> PIÜ: • Vv • • .—’¦ V ÜÜÀLmSMSEM ALBERT BRANDI A F H U AUD REAL ESTATE AGENT corn •;• -•.- -

Record Eriday, August 16, 2002 page 9 Orford to become next Tremblant?Massive development proposal submitted to government By Tom Peacock A Montreal-based limited partnership, has submitted a proposal for a $900 million recreational, commercial and residential development in the municipality of Eastman.“It’s in the pipes,” said Francesco Fio-rillo, president of Domicycle, yesterday.“We have submitted our proposal to the government.Now we are waiting for them to process it.We should know within one or two months.” If the provincial government approves the plan, then the group will approach the municipal authorities.Eastman mayor Gerard Marinovitch told The Record the plan for the massive project was news to him.“Usually someone with a project like this will come by town hall, or submit a written proposal, but we haven’t received a line about this,” he said.“We were quite surprised to hear about it.” Fiorillo said the plan is to build a second,'larger Mont Tremblant; a futuristic community of residences, high-end boutiques, recreational facilities and perhaps even an amusement park.The new community would also include elementary and secondary sclipols, a CLSC, and possible a post-secondary institute of technology.The development would occupy an 1100-acre area of what is now forest in seeing the proposal.Since articles appeared in the French press announcing the plans for the development adjacent to Mount Orford, Fiorillo has been inundated with calls and e-mails from citizens and potential investors-up to 700 a day, he said.“The calls have been very positive for the most part.Many of the people have been saying it is a pertinent project, since it will provide jobs for the Sherbrooke area,” he said.Fiorillo estimates the centre could provide up to 7000 jobs, mostly for young people.Fiorillo has been busy stirring up potential investment for the project.With at least $200 million already promised, he said the financial situation is good enough to go ahead.Construction could start as soon as a year and a half from now.Sixty per cent of the investors are American, 15 per cent Canadian and the rest international.The Americans have been the most enthusiastic respondents, Fiorillo claimed.There are two main reasons the limited partnership chose the Sherbrooke area for the development, according to Fiorillo.“First, there are less mosquitoes and black flies, and also it is a very beautiful region that could be recharged by such a project.” Not only will the development create its own wealth, but it will provide a boost to nearby towns such as Magog and Sherbrooke as well, Fiorillo insisted.Francesco Fiorilio, president of Domicycle says he has a plan to turn this quiet hamlet into another Tremblant.zoned for light industrial development

writers leaving their mark w :/-V Km ~ rrm.More than a dozen sites were tagged with the acronym BTC, Bomb The City By Kate Shingler Lennoxville Parents dropping their kids off at Lennoxville Elementary School earlier this week were alarmed by what they saw.The school’s new playground, a picnic table and a nearby CLSC sign were just a few of the 16 sites where graffiti writers, or vandals -depending on who you ask- wrote BTC, Bomb The City, in spray paint.In graffiti lingo, the term bomb means to paint or write.The world of aerosol art is a kind of cool unmarked club and the scene’s graffiti terminology is the best bouncer, letting in those who get the joke and successfully screening out the ones who don’t, according to sometime graffiti writer (artist) and freelance journalist for the graffiti magazine Under Pressure, Jacob Gavin.Bomb is an obvious term for spray painting to those in the know, a cliché at this point, said Gavin.By using the word bomb, he adds, graffiti writers are recognizing that what they are doing is against the law.“Legally speaking it’s a crime, and that is not a value judgment,” he said.Other terms for spray painting a venue suggest equally violent or invasive acts.Graffiti writers might also say they’ve “destroyed that spot”, he explained.Visibility, location and attention to detail are a big part of whether a writer CAREER Customer

total novice.‘Tags’ are simple letters written in one colour, usually the name of a writer or graffiti crew.‘Throw-ups’ have two shades and are often bubble letters, they are more time-consuming and require skill.‘Productions’, ‘pieces’ or ‘burners’ are the most elaborate with multiple colours and lots of attention to detail.Paint for a really big project can cost up to $500.Some graffiti writers are using markers, paint and rollers, stencils, stickers and ink but spray paint is still the most common material used.The latest graffiti in Lennoxville was done overnight and likely by the same

start somewhere.Whoever's doing this doesn't have much of an idea of graffiti aesthetics,” he said.“A friend of mine who publishes Under Pressure was up North in an Inuit community and saw some

through and very few stick with, because it's just not worth the commitment for most people.On the other hand, those who do stick with it can get pretty amazing.” Gavin, who travels around Montreal photographing some of the city’s elaborate graffiti pieces says the scene is closely linked to hip hop, urban culture and skate boarding.Montreal graffiti writer Maotze, one of the founding members of the graffiti crew Kop, and the first girl in the group, endorses street art.“Most graffiti artists think of vandalism as art, making the city more beautiful - putting something de Jeux creative on a completely drab public space.Tagging is a way of saying I was here, it’s a way of getting your name up, getting recognition.Everybody in some small way wants to get recognized.” An elementary school caretaker surveying the damage Wednesday morning immediately recognized the familiar symbols, BTC.Several sites were targeted on school property including the CLSC entrance and sign, the pavement, playground, and picnic table, he said.Co-owner of Aqua Pro-jet, a high pressure-wash company in Sherbrooke, Julie Laporte said in recent years there has been a higher demand for graffiti removal washes in the area.Fees run from $1 to $3 per square foot, she said and the length of jobs depend on the constitution of the wall, or material written or painted on.“Bricks and wood is easy enough, but we have to use stripping gel and wash it with hot water at different pressures.” Vinyl is the most difficult material to remove graffiti from.If fame and underground communication motivates graffiti writers, venues like an elementary school or medical clinic are easy targets.Gavin said that freight trains, and originally subways are constant mediums on which writers communicate with each other.The freight train tag in Brooklyn that might be spotted by an aficionado in Seattle the following week excites a graffiti writer, who is always looking for a larger audience.On a biking tour through Latin America, Maotze spotted a familiar Montreal tag on the front of a public bathroom door in the middle of the Peten region of Guatemala.She was impressed.“Tagging is a way of communicating, like the cavemen.” PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL The BTC acronym should not be taken literally as Bomb The City according to a graffiti specialist.

ready to give it all I’ve got, so I was more confident.” After being dominated in the first set, Sugiyama took a 5-2 lead in the second before Capriati roared back.Capriati, 27, the Australian Open champion, is seeking her second Canadian title after winning in 1991 in Toronto.While Capriati advanced on Thursday, another seeded-player fell as fourth-ranked Kim Clijsters of Belgium was upset 6-4, 6-4 by Austria’s Barbara Schett in the matinée match Schett, who beat Chanda Rubin 6-4,6-4 Wednesday, advanced to the quarter-finals, where she will meet eighth-seeded Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia.Hantuchova won in straight sets over Amanda Coetzer of South Africa 6-1,6-3.In a late afternoon tilt, Yugoslavia’s Jelena Dokic outlasted Henrieta Nagyova of Slovakia 6-3, 7-6.Dokic now faces the winner of the match between Martina Hingis and Clarisa Fernandez, who played last night.Results were not available by press time.Also on Thursday, France’s Amelie Mauresmo, the seventh seed, came out on top over American Laura Granville in a marathon match, winning 7-6 (9-7), 7-6 (7-5).Granville had 6-4 and 7-6 leads in the first set tie-breaker but wasted three set points.WTA Rogers AT&T Cup,

breakfast (either a bowl of oatmeal, bagel and lox, a turkey sandwich, pancakes or tofu scramble).Today, I was again sluggish after my night’s rest.I haven’t been doing anything out of the ordinary or hyper-exhausting other than my twice-daily training runs and eight-hour workdays.During the rest of the By Ed Blonz, day, I am usually energetic.I take a daily PH- D-multivitamin.I’ll stick to fruit for breakfast, even though, as a 145-pound, 5-foot-ll-inch, 31-year-old competitive male runner who runs twice a day and burns 3,000 calories a day, I’d love a bigger breakfast.I don’t drink coffee, either, so perhaps it’s something else?Hypoglycemia?An insulin surge?Low iron?— P.C., Portland, Ore.Dear P.C.: Self-diagnosis can be problematic, as incomplete information can set you down the wrong path.Consider speaking with your physician to rule out an underlying medical condition.Your twice-a-day routine, however, sounds exhausting.I am not a specialist in sports nutrition, but, from my understanding, overtraining could be an issue here.I have some questions for you to consider: Do you ever vary your training routine?What happens when you give yourself a day off to rest, recover and regenerate?What time do you go to bed?If you slept without an alarm clock, how late would you sleep?With your routine, your body might be building up a sleep deficit that has finally begun to rear its ugly head.These are just some of the issues that came to mind.You might benefit from consulting with a certified trainer.Here are a couple of good resources: “Nutrition for Serious Athletes," by Dan Benardot (Human Kinetics, 1999) and “Ultimate Sports Nutrition” (2nd Edition), by Ellen Coleman and Suzanne Steen (Bull Publishing, 2000).DEAR DR.BLONZ: I’ve read some of your columns about partial hydrogenation, and I have been avoiding foods with partially hydrogenated oils.Occasionally, I come across foods that list hydrogenated (not partially hydrogenated) oil on the nutrition label.Can you explain the difference, in terms of health risk, between hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils?Should hydrogenated oils also be avoided?- V.S., No City or State Available Dear V.S.: I have also seen the word “hydrogenated” (as opposed to “partially” hydrogenated) on food labels.This terminology is somewhat confusing in that if something is fully hydrogenated, then it becomes a saturated fat.The hydrogenation process is costly, so why not start with the less-expensive saturated fat in the first place?You could check with the manufacturer, but my guess is that the term “hydrogenated,” by itself, really means “partially hydrogenated.” DEAR DR.BLONZ: You recently answered a question regarding sulfites from someone who is allergic to them.I would like to bring your attention to another reaction to sulfites that plagues me and several others I know.For years, 1 have had to rush home from dinner in a restaurant, or even stop on the way, because of overwhelming diarrhea that won’t wait.It comes on very suddenly - within about 20 minutes of eating.It is very distinctive - not like diarrhea brought on by stomach flu, food poisoning, etc.I have written to the Food and Drug Administration, and they have confirmed that sulfites can affect some people this way.From material the FDA sent, I discovered that there are several kinds of sulfites, and the kinds used in preparing restaurant meals can be mixed in different strengths.The stronger the mix, the worse and longer lasting the problem.I know I may be more sensitive to sulfites than many others, but you would be doing a service to those who haven’t yet made the connection by publicizing this reaction.Also, in your column, you mentioned that the FDA has outlawed the use of sulfites in restaurants on everything but potatoes.Unfortunately, that ruling is not universally followed.- J.S., Wheaton, 111.Dear J.S.: Thanks so much for bringing this information to our attention. — — - ' ¦¦¦THE — » i =RECORD= CROSSWORDS

and skill, you will be very difficult to beat.This deal occurred during the Grand Master Pairs, played in Coventry, England, earlier this year.Cover the East and West hands.How did Peter Czerniewski, an English international, play to make four hearts after West led the spade queen?First, though, some comments on the bidding.If an auction begins one spade -pass — pass, a balancing one-no-trump overcall is weak, with some 12-14 high-card points.However, against a weak two-bid, a two-no-trump overcall is always strong.How, then, does North investigate a 4-4 heart fit?(Agreed, here he might settle for three no-trump, which is makable.) Some pairs retain three clubs as Stayman, but most use Cue-Bid Stay-man, bidding three spades.Czerniewski won with the spade ace, cashed the heart ace, and played another heart, luckily seeing the king appear from West.After winning the next trick with the spade king, Czerniewski was confident, based on the bidding, that East had the club ace and was now void of spades.So, declarer crossed to dummy’s heart queen, finessed his diamond jack, cashed the diamond king, and led a diamond to dummy’s ace.Although diamonds were not 3-3, Czerniewski called for dummy’s last diamond and discarded a club.East was endplayed with the diamond queen, forced to break open the clubs, conceding a trick to dummy’s king.Multiple sclerosis never hits just one person.It affects the entire family.MS Multiple Scierais Society of Canada V800-268-7582 «mww.mtaocMy.ca ¦i&U.pS©; impi on all models Until Sunday, August 18th " © - .;V 'mMm illfll » *1* : ,., Thit’W*'6 "ft* ** Thibault PONTIAC • BUICK • CMC New cars in stock.Subject to financing and credit approval by GMAC.44-month lease; 20,000 km per year.Except CYAN and 2500 fr 1500 SHERBROOKE • 3839, rue King Ouest .563-7878 | MAGOG .1761.rue Sherbrooke .843-5767
