cloned-card fraudsters Record Staff SHERBROOKE igilance and quick ac- \\ / tion by an employee led to the arrest of three young Montreal-area men for using cloned credit cards.Louriachi Farouk, 21, Omar Tacher, 21, and Shawn Antonio Lamothe-Perez, 22, appeared in Sherbrooke court Friday to face charges of fraud.Lamothe-Perez was also charged with possession of narcotics.The three men visited five stores in Sherbrooke Thursday evening.\u201cThese suspects used cloned prepaid credit cards.The employee of a convenience store noticed something unusual while completing a transaction worth over $100,\u201d said Sherbrooke Police spokesperson, René Dubreuil.The store employee asked to see some identification from one of the suspects, who began by removing items to bring the total below $100.By this point, the employee had noticed that \u201cEveryone had started removing items to lower the total bill under $100.The cashier, however, noticed that the numbers on the credit card and those appearing on the terminal did- n't match.She demanded identification again.The suspect pretended he needed to get his identification from his car.He never came back,\u201d Dubreuil says.Seeing the suspect leave, the clerk took down the vehicle\u2019s license plate number and contacted police, who were able to locate the vehicle on Rte 220.\u201cThe suspects were trying to accomplish the same ploy,\u201d says Dubreuil.With the allegedly cloned cards, the men were buying cigarettes and prepaid credit cards.\u201cWe found several effects related to these frauds in the vehicle.People who believe they have been victims of these men can contact us.They were driving a dark Honda,\u201d Dubreuil says Any information concerning the fraud or attempted fraud may be communicated to the SPS at

Clocher gets facelift funding MAGOG e Vieux Clocher in M: \"og is celebrating its 40th anniversary and is receiving a gift of $230,000 from the Quebec government to purchase new equipment.Sherbrooke MNA Serge Cardin announced the grant, from the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles (SODEC) on behalf of Culture and Communications Minister Maka Kotto, Friday.The acquisition of the equipment will provide optimum conditions for the dissemination of the arts, for both producers and viewers.\u201cOur government is pleased to support this room with this investment.The Vieux Clocher de Magog is a launching pad for many Quebec artists who choose it to kick off their tours.I cannot overemphasize the brilliant history of this venue, which has seen many famous artists perform there,\u201d said Kotto.\u201cI have the privilege to announce an investment in a place that is considered an institution in our region.I am more than happy that our government is affirming its commitment in promoting our national culture in the Eastern Townships, particularly in the area of Magog,\u201d added Cardin.The funds will be used to upgrade sound and lighting equipment, rearrange the loges, a new stage design, and new seats for spectators, and will meet the technical requirements of artists and producers, to ensure an improved experience for the audience and to help promote better access for citizens to Eastern Townships culture.Nearly 130 performances are presented annually at the venue.Hamm succeeds Marcoux at CLD MAGOG th the position vacant W / following the defeat of Jacques Marcoux in municipal elections in November, the Chair of the Local Development Centre (CLD) of the MRC Memphremagog is now being filled by the Mayor of Magog, Vicki May Hamm.Hamm served previously as Chair of the CLD but left after only a few months, shortly before the former Director-General, Ghyslain Goulet, also announced his departure.\u201cMr.Marcoux did a good job at the CLD.He is a very dynamic man who has a vision of regional development.Without taking anything away from his successor in Potton, it is a loss that he is no longer involved in the municipal world.It will not be easy to succeed him.These are big shoes to fill,\u201d Hamm concedes.Hamm says the CLD will need to do more prospecting and marketing,\u201d she says.She added that the organization is better today than it was three or four years ago.\u201cDifficulties have been identified and have been addressed.On the other hand, there is still work to be done.\u201d Hamm also marked the arrival of two

allowed to die a natural death but made to suffer, possibly By Ronald Ewing that an unknown entity has more claims upon an individual\u2019s life than the individual him/herself.Why do some people believe that their religious beliefs should decide that an individual who meets the proposed criteria of Bill 52 should not be allowed the kindness of assisted suicide?Kevin Richard begins his article (The Sacred Right, Dec.3) by contradictorily arguing that atheism is a form of theism.This is like saying that anarchy is a form of government when it is actually the absence of a government.From that confusion he is then able to argue that, \u201cEveryone\u2019s worldview is based on their individual theistic faith, whatever it may be,\u201d which reminds me of the joke: \u201cThank God, I'm an atheist.\u201d A worldview, by definition, can be based upon the study of the world and man\u2019s role in it without any reference to a God.This does not mean that the person is an atheist; just that he does not presume that he is in personal contact with God and knows His mind.The problem with referring to a Supreme Commander is that S/He says different things to different people.I: is quite amazing how people argue My life, my right S/He tells some men that their women have to wear burkas.S/He tells other men that their women have to dress modestly.And S/He tells the rest of us that S/He no longer cares what women wear.If God cannot be consistent on this matter, then why would we turn to this unknowable entity for advice about important matters?How can the government be accountable to such \u2018a higher moral authority?\u2019 Kevin Richard argues that the constitution, I assume that he refers to our Canadian one, guarantees our rights and freedoms \u201cbecause they are understood to originate from a supreme being referred to as God.\u201d This is malarkey.There is no reference to God in the original 1867 Constitution.The reference to God in the preamble (therefore having little legal weight) of the present Constitution was added because some religious minded people demanded that it be included.In order to gain general support, the government acquiesced.The ever-reliable Wikipedia states, \u201cThe prime minister of Canada at the time, Pierre Trudeau, called it \u201cstrange\u201d that some of his colleagues wanted God referenced in the Charter.Trudeau told his MPs, \u201cI don't think God gives a damn whether he\u2019s in the constitution or not.\u201d The constitution was already written before the reference to God was added as an afterthought, to appease a segment of the population.Our rights and freedoms exist unilaterally.They are not dependent upon a deity who either no longer interferes in human affairs or who seems unbothered by massacres, natural disasters, wars, and a multitude of daily acts of violence.The idea expressed in Richard's article that everyone including healthy children may demand the right to assisted suicide and that an elected government will feel compelled to agree to such a ridiculous demand carries the slippery slope argument to its illogical and outrageous conclusion.Some people assume that their God insists that heroic measures be used to keep people alive.They are not allowed to die a natural death but made to suf fer, possibly for years, because their family\u2019s interpretation of their Holy Book demands such an act.The Supreme Court of \u2018Canada recently ruled in favour of such an extension of life and against the doctors and the Toronto hospital that wished to remove a patient who had been on a life-support system consisting of a breathing machine and feeding tubes for the previous three years.| have not heard anyone argue that this legal decision will lead to a - slippery slope, that now we will all be forced to be hooked up to life-extending torture treatments.In like manner Bill 52 is clear and will not lead to indiscriminate killing.Times change and so does morality.The admirable movie, 12 Years a Slave, includes a number of scenes wherein slave-owners use the Bible to justify slavery.Many Christian and other religions continue to use their beliefs to subjugate women and in extreme cases to justify murder or mutilation upon them.Not so many years ago a divorced woman in our Canadian society was considered a fallen woman.It is unfortunate that some would continue to impose their religious beliefs on others who do not share them and who do not agree with the commands of their supposed deity.Nobody is being forced to request assisted suicide.Surely those who are suffering from an incurable and serious illness and have decided that enough is enough should be granted their final wish.I.think that a compassionate God would agree.The

put into place.And it was even worse then, because the children were taken away at age six, and they were not brought home for holidays.They were there for 10 years.In Kahnawake near Montreal, the father of one of my good friends was one of those children who were taken away at age six.He never saw his parents once, because his parents could- n't afford to come to the school (in Brantford, Ontario).So when they told him to go back home to Kahnawake, he arrived and his mother had died.His grandparents and his aunties had passed away.Nobody had bothered telling him.In the meantime, he had lost his language.He spoke only English.The elders who were there didn\u2019t know him.He was a total stranger on his own reserve.So NS we had all these genera- Thev voice of E Ena Greyeyes, Part 3

is represented by a large black crow who is leading away innocent doves that symbolize the children.Their parents and families, totally helpless, can only watch in pain and despair as their children are being stolen from them.\u201d he went back to the school again.He spent two more years there, until he was 18, and they sent him back home again.So that happened to hundreds of children.The same thing for my parents.In those days, they allowed the children to go to school up to Grade 5.If you wanted to do any kind of secondary school, forget it.My dad begged and begged to go on to Grade 6, and they did- n\u2019t allow it.So he was sent home.They kept on the more robust children and they did the farm chores.Because most of the schools were self-suffi- cient.They had farms, they had animais, they had gardens.So the children were the ones working the fields and so on.It was child labour.So all these schools were actually built on the blood of the children, in more ways than one.And they were unpaid on top of that.But you know, the spirit is very resilient, and you become hardened to things.At least I did, anyway.You interiorize a lot of your feelings, and you learn to hide, to pretend a lot.It becomes a question of survival.Because just about anything that you did, you got punished for it.So you learn to keep a very low profile.I had a very strong will, looking back on it.Our parents sent us two dollars, my sister and I, a dollar each.My sister bought candy with hers.But my cousin told me, Ena, there\u2019s hula hoops in the village, they\u2019re.selling

n\u2019t have to be hungry all the time.I started renting out my hula hoop.Of course nobody had money, but they did have extra portions of food, and so I used to trade for dessert, or extra plates, and l\u2019d share with my sister.So we always had extra food.And this hula hoop was my salvation.It\u2019s unbelievable, when you think about it.I had permission to store it in another room, so the other kids wouldn\u2019t break it.So that hula hoop, I think, opened the door for me, how to become a survivor.It gave me a little bit of power.It also introduced me to the possibility that in life, even if you have nothing, there\u2019s always something that you can create.My mother had this expression, \u201cSomething will come up.\u201d She was a great optimist.So when I'm at my worst, 1 say, \u201cMom, you hear me?Something will come up.\u201d And it always does.Without realizing it, even at that young age, I'd become a survivor.I used what I had to survive.{Next week: From survival to

contemporary artists: Montréal-based Geoffrey Jones and Thomas Kneubiihler, Toronto-based Jim Holyoak and the London, England-based collective The Otolith Group (Kodwo Eshun and Anjalika Sagar).Together, the artists and the collective explore the theme of energy, while reflecting on its socio-political and philosophical implications, as well as its uses and abuses.This exhibition combines sculptural installation and large- scale drawings as well as photography and video project.Energy is an exhibition co-curated by Gentiane Bélanger, Vicky Chainey Gagnon and Genevieve Chevalier.The opening reception will take place on Thursday, Jan.9 from 5 p.m.until 7 p.m.with the artists and curators.Also from Jan.9 to Mar.15, the Foreman Art Gallery presents its eighth video work in the Videotank exhibition series, Satellite by Nelson Henricks, created in 2004.In the video Satellite, the artist combines found footage and techno beats to question western society's ongoing obsession with science, technology and the future.Juxtaposing images derived from old educational films with absurd, aphoristic slogans, Hen- ricks offers up a witty, entertaining and provocative commentary of our need to make sense of everything, at any cost.The video art series Videotank shows the work of high calibre Canadian and international artists in a dedicated space inside the Foreman Art Gallery.The opening reception will take place on Jan.9 from 5 p.m.until 7 p.m.- Born on Bow Island, Alberta, Nelson Henricks is a multimedia artist, curator, musician and writer based in Montréal.He is best known for his videotapes, which interweave typical texts, sounds and images that work on our minds to construct the physical and virtual spaces we call home, work and politics, often offering collaborative narratives.Henricks has participated in major international and Canadian group exhibitions and festivals, including The Quebec Triennial, the European Media Arts Festival in Osnabrück, Germany (2009) and INVIDEO (International Exhibition of Video Art and Cinema Beyond) in Milan, Italy (2004).Source and information: Karine Di Genova.Foreman Art Gallery of Bishop\u2019s

is just waiting for the right investors _ or \u201cpower hitters\u201d as he puts it _ to step up to the plate in the city and hit one out of the park.\u201c'There are two things in baseball that never change: history and numbers,\u201d said Cro- martie, who is spearheading a diive for Montreal to get a Major Pe wry fc mw wee League Baseball team.\u201cMontreal, we have the history for baseball in this town.We have the numbers now.The numbers don\u2019t lie.It\u2019s an amazing day.\u201d The Expos left after the 2004 season to become the Washington Nationals amid dwindling attendance at the concrete and much-maligned Olympic Stadium in the city\u2019s east end.The reason for Cromartie\u2019s unbridled enthusiasm at a news conference Thursday was an « 4 ee ewe oo Ernst & Young feasibility study that suggests baseball could thrive in Montreal if the city had a new stadium.The study was commissioned by Cromartie\u2019s group _ the Montreal Baseball Project _ and the Montreal Board of Trade.Ernst & Young cited a strong demand for season tickets, the team\u2019s salary cap but especially revenue-sharing and increased TV rights as the reasons it reached its conclusion.The report said the project would cost just over $1 billion _ $500 million for the facility and $525 million for the franchise.Ernst & Young based the $525-million figure on the average price of the 10 MLB teams that, according to Forbes, have the least economic value.The firm\u2019s scenario includes a government contribution of about $335 million.Cromartie and the board of trade are looking for someone who can deliver money _ and lots of it.Ch ies eames \u201cMy next step is to find a champion,\u201d he said.\u201cA champion with passion, a champion with integrity, a champion with assets, because we can\u2019t get done without it.We're looking for a big player, a cleanup hitter, somebody who wants to be part of history, be a hero.We got a ball game going here.We got a game going.We got a runner on first base \u2026 I need a power hitter, power hitters to make it happen.\u201d i= The Record | production@sherbrookerecord.com MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2013 Page 11 The christmas feast STIR IT UP! by Marialisa Calta Christmas dinner is a meal enveloped in a glowing haze of nostalgia and tradition.Our collective memory \u2014 clouded by Dickensian feasts and carols evoking wassail and figgy pudding \u2014 conjures a crystal-and-silver bedecked table, a veritable \u201cgroaning board.\u201d The very idea of producing a meal on this storied day can seem daunting.How to live up to the hype?You may not be able to face the prospect of stuffing and roasting another turkey so soon after Thanksgiving.Ham and lamb may feel too much like Easter.Chicken?Too everyday.But consider pork.Succulent, savory and not-hard-to-make, roast pork can be the centerpiece of your Christmas table.You can serve it with potatoes (mashed or roasted, white or sweet), some greens, and carrots or beets or other root vegetables.For dessert, a lemon tart or citrus sorbet would be perfect.This recipe is from \u201cThe Scarpetta Cookbook,\u201d named after award-winning chef Scott Conant, who offers traditional and not-so-traditional interpretations of Italian classics.His roast pork recipe was inspired by his father\u2019s New England roots (hence the molasses) and his mother\u2019s Italian heritage (the balsamic vinegar).No matter the origin, the glaze on this hunk of meat makes it, in Co- nant\u2019s word, \u201cirresistible.\u201d .\u201cI'mean it,\u201d he writes.\u201cYou put a piece of this pork in front of me and I can\u2019t help myself.\u201d Christmas hype?You're up to the challenge.Polish the silver and the crystal, and make this the irresistible centerpiece of your own \u201cgroaning board.\u201d MOLASSES AND BALSAMIC-GLAZED SLOW-ROASTED PORK Yield: 5 to 8 servings Extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 small onion, peeled and quartered 5 sprigs fresh

the flavors.Add the vinegar, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook until reduced to about 1/3 cup, 1 to 2 minutes.Add the chicken reduction and continue to cook until the mixture coats the back of a spoon, just a few minutes.Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.Stir in the molasses, mustard and red pepper.Set the pork on a rack over a rimmed baking sheet.If the pork has its fat cap on, lightly score the fat with a very sharp knife; avoid cutting into the meat.Season the pork lightly all over with salt.Reserve about 1/2 cup of the molasses mixture for serving, and using a pastry brush, coat the roast with the rest.Let stand for 30 minutes, occasionally brushing the glaze that runs off the meat back over it.Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 525 degrees.Roast the pork for 10 minutes.Reduce the oven temperature to 275 degrees.Take the pork out of the oven and carefully add water to the bottom of the pan to keep meat moist as it continues to cook.Top roast with the remaining 4 sprigs of thyme, the rosemary and garlic, and season again lightly with salt.You want to make sure that 10 minutes \u2014 the time needed to reduce the oven to the lower temperature \u2014 has elapsed before returning the pork to the oven.Continue cooking, adding a little more water as needed, until an instant- read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees, about two hours.Remove the pork from the oven, tent with foil and let rest for 20 minutes.Gently heat the reserved molasses mixture.Serve the pork as bone-in chops or boneless slices.For the latter, cut the entire loin away from the bones in one piece and then slice across the grain.Brush the chops or slices with the reserved molasses mixture and serve.Note 1: Chicken reduction is a concentrated stock.It is time-consuming to make, but you can find a recipe in Co- nant\u2019s book or online.As a substitute, Conant recommends \u201cGlace de Poulet Gold.\u201d It is sold in many supermarkets and specialty stores, and is available online.Note 2: The chine bones are the odd- shaped bones attached to the backbone, which make it very hard to carve and eat the pork chops.Ask the butcher to remove them, but to leave the covering | (\u201cfat cap\u201d) on.(Recipe from \u201cThe Scarpetta Cookbook\u201d by Scott Conant; Houghton Mif- flin Harcourt, 2013.)

Catholic, and my older sister and brother have been confirmed.| have another six months before I am expected to go through the process of confirmation.I do not want to do this.But as the time approaches, my mother has become increasingly forceful on the subject.I do not share my mother\u2019s beliefs, although I do believe in God.My father supports my choice, and I've tried to explain it to my mother, but she won\u2019t have any of it.She continues to send me to religious classes, which I consider a complete waste of my time, and it results in some very awkward conversations because I find myself hiding my beliefs.When I once refused to attend the classes, my mother threatened to call my school and have me taken off of student council and the soccer team.Annie\u2019s Mailbox I know her stubbornness has other causes, including pleasing family members who are deeply religious and have always resented my father\u2019s agnosticism.But time is running out, and Mom has only become more aggressive.If I resist, there will be huge consequences.I don\u2019t feel I can take part in such an important religious event if I am not fully committed to it.1 even talked to Mom about postponing it for a few years, which would be allowed in our diocese, but she rejected that idea.How can I convince her that she is being unreasonable?\u2014 Frustrated Son Dear Frustrated: You can\u2019t.Your mother is in panic mode, frightened for your religious future and concerned that her family will disapprove of the way she raised you.Your best bet is to talk to your priest and ask him to intervene.While he is unlikely to support your decision not to be confirmed, he may be able to convince Mom that waiting is in everyone\u2019s best in- terest, and she is more apt to listen to him.Beattie - Mastine-Frost wedding Dear Annie: I am a senior citizen with an issue regarding children who use the restroom without being educated or properly trained in etiquette.I have seen kids standing three feet from the toilet (because they are too short to use the urinal) and spraying the seat.This is not a competition to see how far away you can be and still hit the target.Some parents are concerned about germs and tell their kids not to touch the seat, so you can imagine the messes I have witnessed when using a public restroom.Also, please teach the child to flush after himself.I realize this is a particularly difficult issue for single mothers who can\u2019t go into the men\u2019s room with their sons.Please address this.\u2014 T.S.Dear T.S.: We appreciate your concern, and we hope parents are paying attention.However, we're fairly certain that most parents already teach their sons how to use the toilet, because they don\u2019t want to clean up a mess at home, either.Public restrooms pose difficulties because opposite-sex parents cannot supervise, and the kids can become either anxious or reckless.But not all accidents are caused by young children.Adults do their share, too.Dear Annie: Your response to \u201cConcerned \" Cutter in N.Y.\u201d to post a sign in his barbershop saying that cellphone use is prohibited while in the chair is good.I have a better one.There\u2019s an old saying that time is money.It certainly takes more time to cut hair if the patron is chatting on a cellphone.How about posting a sign that says: Haircuts: $30; Haircuts While Using Cellphone: $50 The next time a customer chats, instead of being annoyed, the barber can say, \u201cI just made another $20.\u201d I doubt he would lose customers if he is lighthearted about it.\u2014 Benicia, Calif.Dear Annie: My wife and | have been married for 34 years.I love her dearly and would do any- Emma Beattie and Adam Mastine-Frost were wed on a sunny Saturday, June 1, 2013.The civil ceremony, performed by the couple's friend Jordan Johnston, was held at Adam and Emma's home in Kingsey Falls.Emma's sister Marissa was maid of honour; bridesmaids were Stéphany Michaud, Amanda Perkins, Valerie Martin, and Maggie Camiré.Sonny Gray was best man; groomsmen were Jonathan Coté, Jonathan Eastman, and Adam's brother Justin.Alycia-May De Serre was flower girl and Ryder Coté ring bearer.The supper and reception took place in a tent on the grounds.Emma is the daughter of Darlene Crook and Michael Beat- tie of Windsor, Quebec and the granddaughter of Lorraine Pélissier and the late Herbert Crook and of the late Cecile Baril Beattie and Ernest Beattie.Adam is the son of Susan Mastine and Russell Frost of Kingsey Falls, Quebec and the grandson of Blanche Mastine and the late Nelson Mastine [and of the late Beatrice Beard Frost and John Frost.thing for her.When my wife was 8 years old, she was molested by her uncle (her maternal aunt\u2019s husband).She told me about this before we were married, and she made it clear that she never wanted her father to find out.She thought it would destroy him and ruin his relationship I'M LEARNING FRENCH Because.my brain gets a boost.ee me eee er me mm dae MA ced.va sale { PF Cantidion Pareniss Ke Faune with his sister-in-law.My father-in-law passed away suddenly 10 years ago.My wife told her mother and her two brothers about the molestation.Her mother confronted the uncle, as any parent would do.But he denied his guilt, and his wife threw her out of their home and said she never wanted to speak to her again.My mother-in-law and her sister have not spoken since then.Three years ago, my not-so-wonderful mother-in law accused my wife of lying, saying the molestation was my wife\u2019s fault and because of it she has lost the love of a sister.This made me very angry.I talked tc my mother-in-law, but she refused to rescind her ac cusations toward my wife.My wife refuses to speak tc her mother now.An additional problem is that my wife\u2019s younger brother, with whom she was always close, accuses her of holding a grudge, and he\u2019s giving her the silent treatment.Is there any way to fix this mess?How could we possibly forgive my mother-in-law for the hurtful things she has said about my wife?\u2014 Pete Dear Pete: It is reprehensible for your mother-in law to blame your wife for the molestation.The fault lies squarely with the uncle, and the estrangement is because the aunt backed him up.Your mother-in-law misses her sister, and as she gets older, the loss is weighing on her.She took out her grief on your wife The brother is simply contributing his part to the family proclivity for estrangement.If you want it tc end, someone has to take the first step toward for - giveness.If your mother-in-law is willing, family coun: seling could help with reconciliation.Dear Annie: For the past few years at Christmas.my husband and I have donated to an animal shelte: in our area instead of receiving or giving gifts.It makes our giving complete to give to others in need.We generally celebrate Christmas with my step daughter and her family at their home a few hours away.We tell them in advance that we will be donat ing to an animal shelter and ask that they also con: sider it.Last year, on Christmas Day, there were gifts from them to us under the tree.Meanwhile, we brought nothing and felt terrible.They don\u2019t seem to under: stand when we tell them the only gift we need is a do nation to an animal shelter.Is there a way for us tc feel more gracious about receiving their gifts when we brought nothing for them?Should we bring gifts this year?I realize they are giving us a \u201chint\u201d to dc so, but our hearts aren\u2019t in it.\u2014 Grinch in Arizona Dear Grinch: They aren\u2019t giving you hints.You pre fer donations, but they do not, and you don\u2019t get tc tell them what to give you.Bring a card, preferably from the animal shelter, saying a donation has been made in their honor.That\u2019s your gift to them, and it\u2019s lovely.There\u2019s no reason to feel embarrassed.Dear Annie: I am replying to \u201cFrustrated,\u201d the gen: tleman who has been married for 27 years.I, too, have been married for 27 years.In the beginning, sex was white hot.After a while, it became pleasurable, but not the center of our relationship.Then I developed prostate cancer.We studied all of the options amd chose prostatectomy.Now I can\u2019t \u201cperform\u201d anymore But our marriage is much stronger.Count

them to walk and talk and the next 12 telling them to sit down and shut up.\u201d At the bridge table, some players are scared of 12 \u2014 the number of tricks needed for a small slam.Others zoom that high whenever there is the faintest aroma of slam in the air.But the ideal is between those two extremes.This week, let\u2019s study some of the factors for accurate slam bidding.MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2013 Page 15 North 12-16-13 ® Q105 VV KJ87 +AK æ&K643 West East ® 763 ® 9842 V 1052 V 943 +853 + Q962 #10987 QJ South & AKJ YAQS6 + J1074 & A52 Dealer: South Vulnerable: Both South West North East 19 Pass 19% Pass 2NT Pass 6NT All pass Opening lead: # 10 First, when two balanced hands face each other, combined point-count is a surprisingly reliable indicator.Some years ago, I ran a computer analysis.I gave the partnership\u2019s hands no five-card suit and no 44 fit.I found that when the total point-count was 33, six no-trump was a favorite; but when it was only 32, that slam was an underdog.Here is an easy example for the bidding, but not so simple in the play.How can South make six no-trump after West leads the club 10?South\u2019s two-no-trump rebid shows a balanced hand with 18, 19 or a poor 20 points.It is in principle forcing to game and does not deny four spades.South cannot risk a nonforcing one-spade rebid with that strong a hand.CROSSWORD 36 Forest clearing 38 Feet
