50 locations to spot, adapt and transform; more than 300 roles to distribute between over 250 actors and extras from all over who needed to be coiffed and made-up; finding and adapting roughly 500 period costumes to fit three centuries;

Page 4 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2013 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com | The Record Sutton campground debate heats up Gordon Lambie Special to The Record of a piece of land currently owned by the town and intended for use as a campground is ongoing, with pressure mounting from the community members standing opposed to sale.A petition that was presented to the town council on August 5 with 302 names on it has swollen to nearly 500 of Sutton\u2019s roughly 3900 citizens, but petition organizers report that the mayor has called their petition inconsequential and is moving forward regardless.As mentioned in the Record on July *26, The lot in question sits just to the south of the village, and is composed of 105 acres of mainly undeveloped woodland acquired for $32,000 in 1985.At the time of purchase, the Commission for the Preservation of Agricultural Land (CPTAQ) stipulated that the terrain was to be used only as a campground, and not for any other development.According to local residents some work has been done on the lot, and it has seen use from some community groups, but the original plan has gone largely unrealized.The municipal evaluation of the land now values it at $182,406, with a minimum price for sale set at $207,000.John Hawley, who co-wrote the petition with Winston Bresee, former Te debate in Sutton over the future email that in the days after presenting the petition to the council, he was accosted by Sutton Mayor Pierre Pelland, who allegedly stuck his head in Haw- ley\u2019s car window and attacked the petition, calling it invalid, and questioning why Sutton would need three campsites.Hawley maintained that the bottom line of the petition was that the citizens of Sutton do not want to see the land sold, and that it is the responsibility of the council to listen to the will of the people.The wording of the petition demands that the town of Sutton stop the disposal of a \u201cvaluable asset for the citizens of Sutton\u201d or that the council enter into an agreement with a third party to realize the potential campground project.Concerned, at the same time, at a perceived lack of transparency regarding the intent to sell the land, residents have also filed a complaint with the MAMROT, the Ministry of Municipal af fairs, Regions, and Occupation of Territory.In the wording of the complaint, filed on August 21, concerned citizen Diana Dyer pointed to the lack of council vote or open consultation regarding the intent to sell as examples of what is being perceived as an effort to hide the sale from the general public.She accused the council of undermining democracy of the process by burying notices in \u201cpubli-sac newspapers.\u201d A representative from the MAMROT BU\u2019s Principal Goldbloom gets new mandate SHERBROOKE

that Principal Goldbloom has agreed to serve for a second term.He has an outstanding record of achievement during his first term, including a 40% increase in full-time enrolment, a renewal of the professoriate, an improved labour relations climate, the reform of governance structures, significant improvement in the financial position of the University, major infrastructure investments and the implementation of the U4 League, an innovative collaboration with three other Canadian, primarily undergraduate, universities.We look forward to continuing strong leadership during Principal

could benefit from the major event\u2019s presence in ways that last.Indeed, there are four main areas that benefit from the legacy left by the 2013 Canada Summer Games: sports planning and promotion, social awareness and community development, educational programs were established with the help of Coordinator of Community Relations Mireille Roberge integrating material about the Canada Games into elementary and high school curricula.À total of $19.4 million was invested in local infrastructure, which included the creation of eight new outdoor tennis courts in Rock Forest, a special diving pool at the Université de Sherbrooke and many adjustments to venues in order to make them fit for elite events.Following the Games, $1 million left over from the operational budget was used to create the Canada Games 2013 Fund to promote sporting excellence in the area.Bruno Vachon, President of Sherbrooke\u2019s Sports Committee, said the infrastructure was an important part of the legacy as it allowed the city to go after other sporting events of national caliber.\u201cThe Canada Games are 20 national championships in one and that\u2019s the infrastructure we now have.The athletes were staying at Bishop\u2019s, but next time, it means hotels will be used so the economic potential is great,\u201d said Vachon.Sherbrooke\u2019s Excellence Sportive, an organization that helps promote and develop local high-perfor- mance athletes and plan for major sporting events in the region, has established a committee with the sole purpose of going after other sporting events that is now in full swing now that the Games are over.\u201cIt\u2019s really the expertise that is most beneficial.We The eight new tennis courts built at the centre récréatif de Rock Forest and cost $2.1 million

people who are trained [in all aspects of a sporting event] readily available for what's next.\u201d said Vachon.The committee is hoping to go after the Jeux de la francophonie and the World University Games.Excellence Sportive created specially for this year\u2019s Games called Impulsion 2013 that helped local athletes aspiring to participate in the Games achieve that goal.Team Québec Chef de Mission Martin Cléroult deemed it a, \u201creally great program and such a great initiative.It\u2019s something the Fédération Sportive should mimic and that other regions should take on as well,\u201d said.Over 20 Eastern Townships athletes (part of Impulsion 2013) participated in the Games, many of whom - Samuel Wang, Emilie Simard and Elisabeth Albert\u2014 took home medals medals.With one of the first Canada Games to have three ombudsmen (Ralph Farley, Jean De Francesco and Jean Brousseau) acting as mediators to help solve problems and deal with requests for action or complaints from volunteers, any issue that was to occur was easily re- mediated.\u201cWe definitely brought the bar up in terms of the quality of Canada Games.It'll be hard for future hosts to compare,\u201d said Fournier.\u201cIt looks like there were no serious issues reported.Some [volunteers] would have liked to work more!

They worked really hard and made sure everything was going smoothly.There were problems here and there, but nothing that wasn\u2019t taken care of on the spot,\u201d said Lennoxville Burrough President David Price.There is also a strong legacy left behind for the borough stemming from the amount of people going in and out of Bishop's University.\u201cWhen parents saw that everything is close at hand, some said, \u2018well, you know, it could be nice if they could go to Bishop\u2019s for three or four years, and then go to University of Toronto or wherever,\u201d said David Price.Price also noted the paving of College Street that was completed just in time for the Canada Games, a job that probably would have extended itself into the beginning of the school year, causing roadblocks and increased traffic congestion. 5 [ L ; The Record | newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2013 Page 5 Prize encourages youth cooperatives businesses The Cooperative de developpement regional de l\u2019Estrie, in conjunction with the la Fondation pour l'education à la cooperation et à la mutualite is offering a prize of $ 000 to highlight, recognize and encourage collective youth entrepreneurship projects in schools and in the community.Eligibility must be ages 5 to 18 years * Projects must be in preparation, ongoing or have been realized during the last school year.* The rules of operation and project management must be democratic and cooperative and use a formula of collective entrepreneurship as proposed by the following programs: Ensemble vers la réussite, Jeune Coop et Coopérative jeunesse de services (CJS).* Projects should stand out by their original and innovative aspect in response to a collective need.* Youth must be accompanied by an adult from the school, the community, or by an youth entrepreneurship agent.* Deadline * Project folders must be submitted before January 31, 2014.For all information necessary to enter the contest, please contact agent for promoting cooperative youth entrepreneurship clarouche@cdrestrie.com or 819-566- 0234 ext 108.* The award will be presented to the winner during an activity within cooperative success week February 16-22, 2014.* The majority of project participants Megantic \u2014 CONT'D FROM PAGE 1 The Minister of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy as well as Minister of Transport, Sylvain Gaudreault, further assured the municipality that everything possible would be done to speed up procedures at the legislative level.He said that there are many applications to modify laws or regulations to enable things to go ahead and he hopes to obtain the cooperation of all parties in the National Assembly so re-building can begin quickly.Mayor Colette Sutton campground debate -

the disturbing public sluttishness of Miley Cyrus.For those of you who missed out on this breaking news trend, (probably because you were wasting your time reading or becoming informed), the 20-year old former Disney starlet\u2019s performance at MTV\u2019s Video Music Awards Show on Sunday has been the talk of the town ever since with observers commenting on the performance\u2019s bad taste, bad judgment, bad dancing and generally bad news.The climax, if the pun can be pardoned, came as the barely dressed munchkin ground her rear end onto the crotch of another beacon of good taste, Robin Thicke, 38 and married, whose own claim to fame is a summer ditty with a video resplendent with nearly- naked women and lyrics that have been described, kindly, as \u2018rapey.\u2019 It isn\u2019t at all uncommon, of course, for former child stars to announce to the world their adult status by doing something undeniably adult, like getting arrested for drunk driving, going to rehab, or beating up a photographer.If they are female, the mandatory option is to declare their adulthood by stripping down and getting dirty, as did Disney starlets Christina Aguillera and Britney Spears, the latter in a rather disturbing combination of a porn-style \u2018schoolgirl\u2019 video aligned with a Pepsi commercial with a drooling 130-year old former presidential candidate Bob Dole who, while ostensibly watching Ms.Spears \u2018work it\u2019, says \u2018down boy,\u201d to no-one in particular.Some of us are still in therapy over that one.Enter Ms.Cyrus, who became the idol of millions of prepubescent girls during her spin as Hannah Montana and who is aggressively trying to leave her \u2018good little girl\u2019 image behind as she struts onto the modern world of grown-up entertainment.Sex, as we know, sells, and presumably, the young Ms.Cyrus assumed that what she was doing up there on stage constituted something akin to sex, with the express purpose of getting tongues wagging, jaws dropping, and perhaps gaining some of the \u2018cred\u2019 that is difficult for a very white, very, very rich and privileged white girl to attract in the \u2018gangsta\u2019 world.One supposes that it was worth the effort as Ms.Cyrus and Mr.Thicke have each garnered more attention, criticism, analysis, and condemnation, than either one of them could ever attract by talent or useful works.We shouldn't be blaming them, however.These people, and those like them, are geeks, not like the guys in Big Bang Theory, but in the tradition of the carnival midway, where geeks bit the heads off chickens for the amusement of the masses.That these things go on, particlarly at the VMAs, should not surprise any of us, of course, as that entire production is just a garish marketing scheme.This year, we found out that the flavour of the month will be Justin Timberlake, trying to regain relevance with his old boy band, and that sex - even awkward, disturbing, and inappropriate sex - sells.We knew that.That this remarkable piece of non-news has dominated headlines for most of the week, however, says more about us than the \u2018artists\u2019 who feed us the garbage we demand.It appears our civilization ends not with a bang, but with a \u2018twerk.\u2019 We might have hoped for better.; | their adult status by doing something undeniably adult, like geiting arrested fi \u2018 \u2018 OA 81 ee day beating up a photographer.\u201d AUDITOR-GENERAL TO EXAMINE SENATE EXPENSES.\u2014\u2014#E me PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS RECORD 5 rons QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 12000 6.00 1197 $137.97 6 MONTHS 63.00 3.15 6.28 $72.43 1195 Galt Bast, Sherbrooke, Quebec JIG 1Y7 3 MONTHS 3200 160 319 $36.79 Fax: 819-821-3179 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com Quessc: 1 YEAR 5500 275 549 $63.24 1 MONTH 499 025 050 $5.74 HARON M ER oan 9- > HARON MCCULEY PUBLISHER on LA a Seeds Rates for out of Quebec and for other services available on re- STEPHEN BLAKE CORRESP.EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 quest.SERGE GAGNON CHIEF PRESSMAN .(819) 569-9931 The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 9, 1897, and acquired DEPARTMENTS the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sher- ACCOUNTING .aaa (819) 569-9511 brooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published ADVERTISING .22220000000 0000 (819) 569-9525 by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.CIRCULATION FR (819) 569-9528 PM#0040007682 EWSROOM -ceoeeeemeeeees (819) 569-6345 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, KNOWLTON OFFICE 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, QC J1G 1Y7 SB VICTORIA STREET, KNOWLTON, QUEBEC, JOE 1VO TeL: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA letters I just would like to point out that the deplorable track condi tions started and questionable practices started long before the MMA c came \u2018into existence.Été wei Et AEE a TE east i Sai DEAR EDITOR: deplorable condition.It has been a result of non-maintenance since C P Rail and its subsidiary Canadian Atlantic Railway left the area.It is very easy to say that this is all MMA and Ed Burckhardt\u2019s fault, and a good portion of this is.I just want to point out that between Canadian Atlantic railway and Montreal, Maine and Atlantic, there was another company that, I believe, initiated the current poor condition of the railway.That company was Iron Road of Virginia that owned the Bangor and Aroostook, Canadian American.Quebec Southern and Vermont Northern.From stories that I was told by employees, there was very little maintenance done to the tracks during this regime.In Maine, local auto parts stores and gas stations that had done business with the previous railroads for years, with no financial problems, suddenly found themselves having to sue Iron Road for payment.Another article concerned the non-payment of property taxes to communities.One town in Vermont was advised that Vermont Northern did not own any property there but another railroad might.As I recall, even the Town of Sherbrooke found it necessary to send the constable into the railroad yard to seize and chain-to-therail a leased Quebec Southern locomotive for school taxes.During this time, there were a number of derailments in Greenville, Maine.After the third derailment, an Iron Road manager was sent to reassure the residents.The cause of the 3rd derailment, this person said, was really the fault of the Canadian Pacific because they had \u2018installed passenger train tracks\u2019 that caused freights trains to fall of the elevated curve.The fact that the CPR hadn\u2019t had anything to do with the tracks for years was never questioned.(Any of the above came from newspaper clippings from the Bangor Daily News, Piscataquis Observer or The Record that were sent to me.) I do not know Ed Burckhardt and I am not connected with any of this companies.I just would like to point out that the deplorable track conditions started and questionable practices started long before the MMA came into existence.I was born and brought up in Farnham.My family was well represented on the CP and in the area and I spent many a summer at Megantic.It is heart breaking for me to think of what the carpetbaggers did to the people and the railroad!

use of poison gas in Syria.All the options may be \u201con the table\u201d, but none of them are good.Nobody denies that poison gas was used in rebel- held parts of Damascus on 21 August, not even the Syrian government.As many as 1,000 civilians may have been killed.That's a whole week\u2019s normal death toll in the Syrian civil war in just one day.After that, however, we run out of facts.The rebels claim that the Baathist regime was responsible, while the Syrian government says that the rebels did it themselves in the hope of triggering foreign military intervention.Sending United Nations inspectors will not settle that argument: the gas must have come from government stocks, but that doesn\u2019t mean that the regime did it.The rebels have not overrun any of the known storage sites for Syrian chemical weapons, but they could have secret supporters inside those sites who smuggled some out to them.If you apply the old test of \u201cwho benefits?\u201d, the rebels, who are currently losing ground, have a strong incentive to get the Assad regime blamed for using illegal weapons.If that gets the United States and other Western powers to impose a nofly zone, or bomb the regime\u2019s military bases, it helps the rebel cause.So maybe they acted to provide the necessary \u201cevidence\u201d: some of them are certainly ruthless enough.The regime is certainly ruthless enough to use chemical weapons, and it actually owns them.But it is manifestly not to its advantage to do so.President Bashar al-Assad\u2019s troops are winning the war with- No good options in Syrian dilemma out them, and the last thing he needs is foreign military intervention.On the other hand, armies and regimes have done exceptionally stupid things in the past, particularly when they are isolated and under great pressure.The emerging consensus among Western governments is that Assad was responsible, however stupid that seems.What should be done about it?US military intervention is unlikely to lead to the outcome American foreign policy really desires: the preservation of Syria's existing secular state, with a change of leadership at the top.If Assad is overthrown, he'll probably pull the whole edifice down with him.If the rebels win, Islamist radicals will take over.So if a Western military intervention is bound to end in tears, why not just skip it?Because chemical weapons are classed as \u201cweapons of mass destruction\u201d, and there is an international treaty banning their use.If you let Assad get away with this, goes the argument, he will have breached an important international taboo on the use of WMD.Well, not really.Biological weapons (\u201cgerm warfare\u201d) are truly horrifying weapons of mass destruction, banned by treaty, and nobody has ever used them.Nuclear weapons can kill by the billions; they have never been banned, but they haven't been used in war for 68 years now.Poison gas, however, is not really a weapon of mass destruction at all.Napalm, fuel-air explosives and cluster bombs are just as nasty as poison gas, and perfectly legal.The historic ban on poison gas is a valuable deterrent, but it has survived some previous breaches, and preventing this one is not worth a war.Especially if it is, from the point of view of the potential interveners, an un- winnable war.Sciuto, founder of www.failingup- wards.com), joined

\u2018pathetic\u2019 in coverage of Parti Quebecois minorities plan: ex premier By Martin Ouellet THE CANADIAN PRESS e media of English Canada are to | blame for pathetic, unfair coverage of the Parti Quebecois\u2019 controversial minorities plan, according to prominent Pequistes.A former premier called the coverage pitiful.And a current cabinet minister took to twitter to condemn it Tuesday.The complaints about the Anglo fourth estate came amid a furor over an impending plan by the PQ government to restrict public employees\u2019 right to wear religious clothing.In an interview with The Canadian Press, ex-premier Bernard Landry said he can\u2019t accept some of the complaints directed at the Quebecois.\u201cI take pity on some of Canada\u2019s English newspapers,\u201d Landry said.\u201cIt\u2019s infuriating but it\u2019s so pathetic to go and say that Quebec is xenophobic and racist \u2014 when from the start of our national adventure we intermingled with Amerindians.The majority of us have Amerindian roots, one-quarter of us have Irish roots, we have had six premiers of Irish origin.What are these people talking about?Why are they so misinformed in the rest of Canada?.\u201d Landry made a prediction: that the rest of Canada will one day \u201cdeeply regret\u201d having embraced the doctrine of multiculturalism.He says it leads to a lack of integration that harms social cohesion and, pointing to Europe, he says that ultimately risks feeding right wing extremist politics over time.\u201cMulticulturalism will lead to more and more problems, like in Great Britain.In Holland, in Germany, same thing.Angela Merkel came out against this doctrine a while ago.Immigrants themselves are the first victims of multiculturalism,\u201d he said.\u201cThe rule is, when you change country, you change country.They can\u2019t expect to find everything here that they had in their country of origin.Integration is a powerful signal that they need to adjust to a new nation.And the majority of them do it wonderfully.\u201d The PQ says it will put forward its Charter of Quebec Values within several weeks, and seek to get it through the legislature.Critics have called the plan unconstitutional, or worse.A leaked version of the proposal says the government would bar public employees from wearing religious clothing \u2014 such as turbans, kippas, hijabs and visible crucifixes.The plan may have enough support to be adopted in the legislature.The opposition Coalition Avenir Quebec says it would support parts of the plan, although it would apply the rules to far fewer public-sector workers.The idea has majority public support in Quebec, according to polis, but it\u2019s far from clear that such support would translate into more votes for the PQ.Landry, 76, was briefly premier after he replaced the retiring Lucien Bouchard in 2001.He lost the 2003 provincial election.AJesuir-trained former lawyer.economist, civil servant, university professor and cabinet minister, Landry was best known in politics for a sharp tongue that once \u2018compared the Canadian flag to \u201cbits of red rag.\u201d It\u2019s not only Anglo pundits blasting the idea.Although the editorial writers in French have been less unanimous than their Anglo counterparts on the subject, numerous columns have denounced the PQ plan \u2014 a minority in the Journal de Montreal, but especially in Montreal La Presse.One Tuesday in La Presse, by the newspaper\u2019s chief editorial writer, called it an extreme measure that smacks of intolerance.He compared it to Maurice Dup- lessis\u2019 persecution.of Jehovah's Witnesses in a piece titled, \u201cThe Tyranny of the Majority.\u201d A column in the same newspaper last week compared the PQ approach to Mc- Carthyism and, using the crude eight-let- ter English term for bovine droppings, pointed out the government\u2019s incorisis- tency in preaching state secularism while keeping the crucifix in the legislature.Some federal politicians have also weighed in to blast the plan, including Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney and NDP Leader Tom Mulcair.County

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com | The Record I sometimes become so obsessed with it that I suffer horrible anxiety WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2013 Dear Annie: Earlier this year, I was caught up in a liability issue with my high school track coach.I had a knee injury and was being treated by a sports chiro practor, with the full approval of the superintendent of the school district.My coach, however, rejected the note from the chiropractor and caused me horrible stress and anxiety with the unnecessary demand that [ see an internist.The principal said I had to do it.The internist said that the school and the coach were being ridiculous.Several months later, I am still thinking about everything that happened, and I sometimes become so obsessed with it that I suffer horrible anxiety.Every time a friend asks what happened, I become emotionally and mentally unstable and relive it.This former track coach treated my parents and me with hostility, and I am worried about returning to school.How can I move on?My mind is taking a beating.\u2014 Still Reliving the Misery Dear Still: Any trauma can lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which causes the sufferer to relive the event over and over.You need to find a way to break the loop in your thinking.If you can do this by imagining a different, more empowering outcome, great.It\u2019s also possible that once school starts, your coach will simply Annie\u2019s Mailbox ignore the incident, and you can do the same.Or you could approach him in a mature fashion and ask to put this behind you.If he mistreats you, report it to the principal.If you are still traumatized, please consider short- term counseling.High school doesn\u2019t last forever.Dear Annie: Last week, I walked into our computer room to see my husband trying desperately to hit the delete button and get rid of an email he did not want me to see.I managed to glance at the woman's name, however, and asked him who it was.Well, she is the one I suspected he hooked up with at his 50th class reunion.There were about five hours during the weekend that he could not account for.His 95-year-old mother knows this woman and says, \u201cShe\u2019s such a nice girl and married.She would never do such a thing.\u201d And she says the same about my husband.I don\u2019t believe this.My husband suddenly can\u2019t keep his hands off of the waitresses at our favorite restaurant, and he ogles every woman who walks by.I won\u2019t be going to my 50th class reunion.I can\u2019t leave him alone for a second, and I certainly don\u2019t want him - running off with one of my classmates.I don't want to go out of my house anymore.What should I do?\u2014 Humiliated Wife Dear Wife: Your husband is in his late 70s.In some instances, as a person ages, early signs of dementia start to show up, and one of them is the loss of inhibition.Unless your husband has exhibited such behavior during your entire marriage, we believe his problem is age related.This doesn\u2019t make it less irritating or worrisome, of course, but it\u2019s possible he could be helped by seeing his doctor.Insist that he make an appointment, and go with him.If the doctor is not experienced in this area, ask to be referred to someone who is.Dear Annie: My sympathy for \u201cShady Family Business,\u201d who wants to change his name because some of his family was engaged in not quite legal doings.It is very likely that the majority of us have forebears who have engaged in activities that would humiliate and horrify us.Even those who discover that they are related to the rich and famous could easily uncover shameful doings in those illustrious backgrounds.Let the dead past lie.If your family has done things of which you are not proud, your lifetime can show that the bloodline is also capable of good.\u2014 Life Is a Mixed Bag Annie\u2019s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.cont\u2019d from Page 11 |

His book is a small, handy guide to commonly available chilies, from the \u201chot stuff\u201d of Mexican and MesoAmerican cooking, to the peppery cuisine of the Caribbean islands, to the fermented hot sauces of Louisiana and the international chilies of Asia.His book explains why every homemade hot sauce I've ever tried to make failed, and offers recipes for successful sauces.The key, it turns out, is to ferment the pepper mash.One of the revelatory recipes in this book is hardly a recipe at all, more an afterthought kind of dish you\u2019d throw together as a nosh to accompany a cold beer.It\u2019s for sauteed chili peppers, and once you start making them you are unlikely to stop anytime soon.The coconut-chili Fire and Ice ice cream \u2014 the winning entry in a hot sauce contest \u2014 is a conversation piece, as well as a great end to a summer meal.The Pepper Vinegar (also called \u201cpique\u201d) is an easy and quick homemade condiment that does not require fermenting and can add that endorphin rush.Hurts so good!

To be honest, although it was best here, I disapprove of West\u2019s opening lead.With no side-suit entry, he should have led his spade.(The last time I did not lead partner\u2019s suit, diamonds, they made three no-trump vulnerable instead of going down three.) South has eight top tricks: three spades, one heart and four clubs.He does not have time to play on diamonds, so must get four spade tricks.With silent opponents, declarer would cash his ace and queen, but that does not rate to work here, needing West to have a singleton jack.CROSSWORD North 08-28-13 ® K1043 v 92 + J85 & AQI07 West East ® 8 ® J9652 ¥YQ10874 YA653 ® 7632 ¢ AK S652 &43 South ® AQ7 ¥Y KJ ¢ Q1094 æ®KJ98 Dealer: East Vulnerable: Both South West North East 14 1NT Pass 3NT All pass Opening lead: ¥ 7 South should hope that West has a singleton eight or nine.Declarer plays a club to dummy's 10, then leads specifically the spade 10.If East plays low, South runs the 10.If East covers with his jack, declarer wins with his ace (or queen) and happily notes the fall of the eight on his left.He returns to the dummy with a club, plays a spade to his seven, and can claim.Across 1 Stockpile 42 The Matterhorn, e.g.43 Plumbing concern 6 A.L.West player 45 GI entertainers 11 Place to see reeds 46 British __ 14 Like some trains and anesthetics 48 Put down thoroughfares?15 \u201cGigi\u201d star Leslie 52 Hook's sidekick 16 Pollution-policing org.53 Caesarean rebuke 17 Put down toddlers?54 \u201cMe too!\u201d 19 It\u2019s in many poems 57 Pay, as expenses 20 Wirehair of whodunits 59 Russian assembly 21 Start of a morning diner order 63 Fuss 22 Hunt illegally 64 Put down a rock genre?24 Petty of \u201cA League of Their Own\u201d 67 Spruce cousin 26 Sediment 68 Soothing application 28 Put down formal education?69 Cockamamie 33 Handle the helm 70 Comics cry 35 They're not from around here, briefly 71 Ancestral diagrams 36 Ship of Greek myth 72 Dumas swordsman 37 Rand who created Dagny Taggart 38 Went by Down 1 \u201cThe West Wing\u201d Emmy winner BII|L|IGIE RIE| 1 |G|N SIE |W| 1 Homer's hangout AID] 1]O}S U|IBIOJA|T OlLIE 3 IRA part: ADDL.4 Big name in frozen (SXOIF|T|C]A[PISTULXENMMUIKIE] Seis EIL|E|C S|E|E|S S|T{R[{A|P| scrafty o|L|S|EINJ QT [Pll 6 Thorny shrub 7 \u201cElephant Boy\u201d actor SAMIE E AJUISIS|I EIS 8 Rare sights in nurseries SXOJ F A|TI|A|BALKE CIP] 1] 9Lobstereggs SIT/A|Y|s rR[u|E s/A|K|E|s| 10 How many writers work AlLIP SAO) Y|C|A|NID 11 Greek salad topper W|O|B{E|G|O|N D| IM 12 Larger thandife male s Rambler maker I UITIEIS AMIALT] 18 Virologist who worked D}U|B|A|1 S}LJ|AJG T with Epstein EI|B|B SITIUIFIFIE S 23 Worker protection agcy.M]ELL HJE|N|R]!
