[" Sherbrooke tries again with bridge bike lane Page 3 RECORD THE VOICE OF THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS SINCE 1897 Sherbrooke zoning law moves ahead Page 5 75 CENTS + TAXES PM#0040007682 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 2017 No new borough names for now, but suggestions are welcome By Gordon Lambie gestions when it comes to naming its new boroughs and districts, although no decisions will be made until after November\u2019s municipal election.Despite previous suggestions that the city would provide names for the newly reorganized boroughs and districts in the month of April, City council President Serge Paquin explained on Monday night that the council has decided it would be better not to redefine the names of familiar districts just before everyone goes to the polls.The clarification came in response to a question about the future name of borough four, which merges the existing Jacques-Cartier and Mont Bellevue boroughs.The resident asking the question proposed that the new central borough be named either \u201cThe banks of the Magog River\u201d or \u201cthe Magog River borough\u201d in honour of the significant historical and geographical role the waterway has played and continues to play in the life of the city.\u201cThere is no process that has been outlined for the naming of the boroughs,\u201d Paquin said.\u201cWe appreciate your suggestion and, at the same time, put out a call for any suggestions that others may have.\u201d The council president noted that the boroughs of Lennoxville and Fleurimont Will not be changing names, since their outer borders will remain the same after the reorganization.Mayor Bernard Sévigny campaigned on a promise to re-draw the electoral map in the last election, and followed through with the reorganization immediately afterward.The discussion surrounding that decision, and particularly the conversion of the borough of Brompton into a district, resulted in the mobilization of several citizens\u2019 groups, some of which remain active in the city today or have evolved into the municipal political party Sherbrooke Citoyen.Te city of Sherbrooke is open to sug- Bishop\u2019s/ Champlain refugee sponsorship program furniture pre-sale By Matthew McCully windfalls, the Bishop\u2019s/Champlain refugee sponsorship program will hold a furniture pre-sale on Saturday, April 8 from 8 a.m.to noon in the old arena on the Bishop's University campus.The annual garage sale is the program\u2019s biggest fundraiser.This year, Heather Thompson, staff advisor for the refugee sponsorship program, told The Record the program is having a pre-sale because of two large furniture donations.Tia to a number of renovation etn.NG \u201cThe library is being gutted and renovated,\u201d Thompson said.A lot of what won\u2019t go back into the new space has been donated to the sale, Thompson said.She added that the program also received furniture following the renovation of the Abbott residence building on campus.\u201cIt\u2019s mainly bureaus, desks, filing cabinets, tables, wooden chairs and loveseats,\u201d Thompson said, adding the sale could be attractive for new arrivals to the area, or students moving out of residence into an apartment.Thompson said the refugee sponsorship program will still hold its annual q | Md / GORDON LAMBIE mega-sale on May 13, which will, as always, have a vast selection of articles available.Because the arena is currently providing storage space the library under renovation, Thompson said the space available for the May sale is reduced.She hopes this weekend\u2019s furniture sale will help free up space for more articles for the upcoming mega-sale.Now in its 25th year, the Bishop\u2019s/Champlain refugee sponsorship program has been offering support, both financial and emotional, to refugee students coming to Canada to start a new life.Take The Record anywhere with you with an online subscription! iPads, tablets, iPhones, Android phones, laptops!

councillors were satisfied with the resulting recommendation.Sherbrooke tries again with bridge bike lane By Gordon Lambie chaos for two days after it opened last October is coming back to Sherbrooke\u2019s Jacques-Cartier Bridge, albeit in a different form.Whereas the original configuration of the path eliminated one lane of the three-lane bridge to make room for two-direction lane, this second phase will implement two narrower, unidirectional lanes that follow the flow of traffic.\u201cPeople who do a lot of cycling generally move with the direction of traffic,\u201d said Caroline Gravel, the Director of the city\u2019s Urban Infrastructure division \u201cit\u2019s the preferred option among cyclists.\u201d The 2016 pilot project started on a Thursday in mid-October with the intention of continuing for a month, but it sparked so much outrage among local drivers that project managers were begging for more time by the following Monday.Gravel explained that changes carried out during that original project Te bike lane which created traffic as well as additional feedback afterwards has led to the creation of a plan she feels confident will not cause issues this time around.\u201cWhen we started the pilot project things were quite chaotic,\u201d the director said, acknowledging that lane configurations and lighting sequences were out of synch with the amount of traffic moving across the bridge during rush-hour periods \u201cwe made many modifications, notably to the Denault traffic lights and the two, 60-metre feeder lanes.That eliminated the congestion on the Jacques Cartier Bridge.\u201d Although Gravel said that she understands that drivers may feel concern about a repeat of last October\u2019s traffic jams, she said that the urban infrastructure division has worked hard to come up with a better system.She added to this that the bicycle traffic measured on the bridge warrants a bike path, and said that if things truly prove to not be working, the paths can simply be painted over.Several different options were considered.And not all councillors were satisfied with the resulting recommendation.\u201cOur cyclists deserve better\u201d said University District councillor Jean-Francois Rouleau, arguing that the city is willing to overspend on cultural and tourist projects, but not on investing in the creation of safe, dedicated lanes for the bicycle traffic, \u201cthe asphalt isn\u2019t even being redone.\u201d Rouleau said that he finds the project interesting and valuable, but added that he feels the proposed configuration is unsafe.Gravel said that the city expects the Ministry of Transport to announce work on the bridge within the next five years, explaining that the work has been limited to painting for the time being because of that.\u201cA sidewalk lasts more than five years so we do not recommend that action at this time,\u201d the director said.If the renewed pilot project goes well, the path is expected to remain in operation for the entire high season, lasting from April to November.The renewal of the Jacques-Cartier Bridge project for a second phase also raised questions about whether a similar project could be attempted on the bridge where 12th Avenue North crosses highway 610 near the CHUS in Fleuri- mont.A representative of the students and faculty living in the area brought the question before the council pointing out that the idea of a cycling path between the hospital and the rest of the city has been under discussion for years.\u201cI want to know if a similar type of study is a possibility,\u201d the resident asked.The council expressed openness to the idea, but councillor Bruno Vachon said that a parallel effort to form a link off of des Pelerins Street is currently being studied because of concerns over the viability of a link on the busier road.Stanstead Township receives applications for five registers By Matthew McCully draft of bylaw 403-2017 at last month\u2019s meeting, Stanstead Township municipal council moved on to the next step in the process, putting out a call to citizens who would like to request the opening of a register in their zone.Of the 14 zones affected by the bylaw, five submitted sufficient applications to warrant a register.The bylaw in question would amend the current zoning regulations to allow short-term rental properties on the territory.During Monday night\u2019s council meeting, citizens asked a number of questions about the register and following referendum process, pointing out a substantial percentage of the affected property owners are weekenders or summer residents.One member of the public pointed out that on Arrow Head Road 20 per cent of the properties were already short- term rentals, referring to the environmental impact of a constant influx of people.The citizen claimed that last week there were nine cars parked on the road in front of one such property.She added that there was a foul smell, likely coming from an overburdened septic tank, and also several garbage cans, well beyond the usage of a single family dwelling.While describing the situation, Mayor Francine Caron-Markwell interrupted the citizen saying, \u201cWhat\u2019s your question?\u201d The citizen asked if council had considered the impact short-term rental properties would have on the character of the community, and if they had properly evaluated the situation before draft- | the adoption of the second ing bylaw 403-2017.Caron-Markwell said that the nuisance issues mentioned should be addressed to the SQ.She later added that ultimately the citizens were the decision makers regarding the bylaw, pointing to the five out of 14 possible registers.Town Manager Josianne Hudon went on to say that regarding the registers, no date has been set yet.Hudon said the municipality is obligated to give a minimum of five days notice.It will likely be in mid-April, she said, but did not offer a specific date, pointing out that she will need to schedule a time when she is available for the duration of the register, which will be open to citizens to sign from 9 a.m.until 7 p.m.Other citizens asked whether it would be a weekday or weekend, and if it were possible to do both.Hudon replied that a register is usually held for one day only, and usually on a weekday.When asked if citizens could sign by absentee correspondence, Hudon replied that citizens must sign in person.When asked which newspaper the public notice of the register will appear in, Hudon said that the notice would be posted in six locations across the territory, and also in the municipality\u2019s newsletter and on its website.It will not appear in local newspapers.A member of the public asked which five zones received sufficient applications for a register.Not knowing their technical designations, Caron-Markwell said there were three zones in Georgeville, one near Lake Lovering and zone VC-2, which CONT'D ON PAGE 5 aC eV,

a referendum to be held on the subject.The bylaw, which has been years in Ts registry period for the city\u2019s uni- the making, creates one uniform set of zoning rules for the entire city, where before each borough operated with a patchwork of the rules created by municipalities merged in 2002.The draft was approved by the city council in February and should go into effect this coming May.Both Urban Planning Committee Chair Nicole Bergeron and Mayor Bernard Sévigny spoke to the significance of being able to move on with the project, making reference to the adoption and approval of the bylaw as the beginning of a new era in the city.The stipulations of Bylaw 1200 were at the heart of the most recent concerns expressed by Lennoxville Garden Centre owner Chuck Neville and are the subject of regular critique by local resident Denis Pellerin.In reflecting on the passage of the new bylaw, the mayor admitted that the document is not perfect, but said that as it moves into being a functional document and not just a draft there will be room to make adjustments and improvements based on need.Tree trimming on Sainte-Catherine Road Record Staff SHERBROOKE the population that tree

line between Lake Memphréma- gog and the J.-M.Jeanson water treatment plant is free of any obstruction.The work will consist of cutting trees and shrubs which could potentially impede access for future repairs of the pipe.More than 150,000 people, or more than 90 per cent of the population of Sherbrooke, use water treated by the ]J.- M.-Jeanson station.Having analysed the location in question, the city estimates that about 70 trees and shrubs will have to be cut over a distance of several kilometers.Most of these are located in wooded land while others are at the edge of the road.The City has a right-of-way of approximately four-and-a-half meters on each side of the main line and signs indicate its passage, and representatives of the City have already met with property owners affected by this operation.The work on Sainte-Catherine Road may result in traffic delays at times.Signalers will be posted at the site to help direct the flow.Blood Drive - LV TC and GALT -

Ministry of Transport (MTQ).According to the report, last year saw 14 deaths on the roads in the region, two fewer than in 2015, or a decrease of 12.5 per cent.The MTQ highlights that this decrease is part of a downward trend in the average number of fatal accidents that has been noted since 2011.Fe road accidents are decreasing slightly in Stanstead \"Township CONT'D FROM PAGE 3 includes Arrow

said.Québec-wide, 2016 recorded the second lowest number of fatalities since 1946, with 351 deaths, 11 fewer than in 2015.Although fatalities are going down in the region, accidents with serious injuries have increased slightly to 72, five more than in 2015.Compared to the average over the last five years, accidents with serious injuries are down 12.4 percent in the Estrie, while those with minor injuries decreased by 5.1 per cent to 1,349.In total, 1,435 people were injured in accidents on Eastern Townships roads in 2016, a decrease of 4.6 per cent from 2015.Another citizen referred to the close to 37 members of the public in attendance at the meeting, wanting council to recognize there is genuine concern regarding the zoning bylaw.Another issue raised during question period involved the water quality of tributaries in the area, measuring high levels of toxins.Citizens also discussed the once-a-month garbage pick-up schedule in winter, suggesting that as temperatures warm it should become more frequent.Caron-Markwell said the garbage pick-up contract is about to come up for renewal and the environment committee will take that issue into consideration for the future.2%

currently making their way through this weather, longing for the May sun\u2014and so are the unwanted plants, weeds, and so-called \u201cinvasive species.\u201d On many properties in the Townships, for example, the now infamous Japanese knotweed is among them\u2014sometimes referred to as the guerilla of the invasive species.Reports in recent years have focused on the plant\u2019s potential harm\u2014to gardens, homes, and property values\u2014but it was introduced in the mid-19th century from Asia and through the United Kingdom for its benefits.It serves as a rapidly growing ground cover, often planted around old septic boxes and outlets to hide and sanitize.Its shoots are said to be tasty and nutritious for grazers, such as goats and pigs\u2014and even humans.And the pollen from its flower is converted into a delicious honey by bees.One report I heard told of a daring restaurant serving the shoots on its menu\u2014while the rest of us were bemoaning its invasion of abandoned gardens, ditches, shorelines and other areas where plants.I have a hillside of it waiting for me to push back against its forward creep.I've considered all the possible recommendations for trying to eradicate it: from injecting its stem, to grazing the area with goats or pigs, to cutting it every two weeks for five years, to bringing in a backhoe and digging it out.I can\u2019t say that eating it ever appealed to me\u2014and my first try at a tasting didn\u2019t change my mind.One way or another, managing the plant in North America clearly requires intensive human intervention to prevent it from taking over other plants.This would be the natural consequence of an \u201cunnatural\u201d introduction by humans transporting it over seas.Plants aren\u2019t like humans in their adaptation skills.We have our brains to help the process along, through communication, education, and science.We're usually more able to accommodate significant change in our environment.Both plants and animals are increasingly faced with significant change today, though.They are crossing what used to be major geographic barriers more often and more quickly than ever.it out-competes indigenous |

species.They may also be the new normal in a world that mixes its widely separated parts more and faster than ever, thanks to the human species\u2019 penchant for wanting more of everything and

Street, Sherbrooke, QC J1M 2E2 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA ernment money was doled out to the company, and never repaid or recovered, remains unobtainable through Canada\u2019s Access to Information Act.It seems taxpayers must pay for corporate welfare but they are not permitted to know the key details.The company also refuses to disclose information about the repayment amounts on the dozens of taxpayer loans it received over the decades.It appears that most of the \u201cloans\u201d were written off and never repaid back, from the available public evidence to date.To add insult to injury, the company has been embroiled in lawsuits for failure to deliver on time and on budget on a number of contracts, along with questionable corporate business practices both here in Canada and overseas.On Jan.29, 2015, South Korean prosecutors accused the Canadian transportation giant of making gifts to local officials as it pursued a metro contract, as reported by Radio-Canada.On April 2, 2015, South Africa's public corruption watchdog investigated whether questionable fees were paid to win a $3 billion train contract awarded to a consortium involving Bombardier, as reported by CBC news.On March 10 of this year, a Bombardier employee was arrested and others questioned in a Swedish bribery probe, as reported by CBC news.Just recently, Bombardier\u2019s top executives gave themselves almost a 50 per cent pay raise amounting to some $32.6 million US, as the company has let go thousands.Predictably, this latest news has outraged many taxpayers both inside and outside Quebec.On April 2, more than 1,000 people \u2014 many of them parents with young children on their shoulders \u2014 demonstrated in front of Bombardier\u2019s Montreal headquarters.Taxpayers have a right to be fed up with Bombardier's mismanagement of public funds which has been condoned by our elected leaders, both past and present.The question remains: where has all the money gone?Taxpayers have a right to know.The time for non-transparency with this family-controlled business has come and gone.rinted and distributed by PressRea P der press [feleld PressReader.com + +1 604 278 4604

PHOTOS COURTESY OF ALEXANDER GALT Evan Watson City makes five-year promotional deal with Phoenix Record Staff SHERBROOKE agreement with the Sherbrooke Phoenix Hockey Club for a five-year visibility plan.Under the new agreement, worth $90,000 per year, the QMJHL franchise will include the name and image of the City will across Quebec and Canada on several different platforms.\"The Phoenix has been in Sherbrooke Te City of Sherbrooke has signed an since 2012 and everyone is well aware that the club is helping to make us known everywhere,\u201d said Sherbrooke Mayor Bernard Sévigny.\u201d It is a high-class organization that brings the community closer together and that conveys values that correspond to those of the City of Sherbrooke.\" The visibility plan will highlight the City\u2019s name and coat of arms during broadcasts of Phoenix games on Québec and national networks, in club advertisements, on the bus carrying the team and on all the team\u2019s promotional items.For his part Denis Bourque, the President of the Phoenix, welcomed the show of support from the municipality.\"Since the arrival of the team, the City of Sherbrooke has always been behind us,\u201d Bourque said.\u201cThis agreement is win-win as it provides visibility to the City and contributes to further consolidating the financial situation of the Phoenix.\" The plan faced some opposition at the Sherbrooke city council, where some representatives questioned the need to pay $90,000 per year to help promote a team already associated with the city.The Sherbrooke Phoenix is part of the QMJHL which is composed of 18 teams, 12 of which are from Quebec and six from the Maritimes.The team is comprised of young hockey players from 16 to 20 years of age and supervises their sports activities and schooling.The Phoenix plays 34 local games in the regular season at the Leopold-Drolet Sports Center in Sherbrooke.Canada's women ponder first Winter Olympics without their NHL counterparts By Donna Spencer THE CANADIAN PRESS players for next year's Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea comes as a surprise to some of the Canadian players at the women's world hockey championship.We were kind of shocked.We thought they'd figure something out to get them there,\" forward Natalie Spooner said Tuesday.What the Games are about really is showing the best of the best.We still look up to them as being phenomenal hockey players, so to not see them there, I think will be sad.\" The women are facing a first Winter Olympics without NHL players there.Women's hockey was introduced to the Olympic program in 1998, the same year NHL players began participating.Te NHL's decision not to release Without the star power of names such as Crosby, McDavid, Matthews, Ko- pitar, Oshie and Eriksson, will the women's tournament get more of the spotlight in Pyeongchang?That's something we'll get to see, I guess.It's hard to say if it will get more attention or not,\" defenceman Lauriane Rougeau said.We just want to showcase our game as much as possible.The Olympics is always the biggest stage for us every four years.It might become a little bit more attention on us.\" The women liked having the NHL players there and running into the Canadian men playing table tennis in the team lounge.For me, it's a great experience to be around NHLers,\" Rougeau said.They're down to earth.They're playing ping pong with us.It's a great experience to have them at the Olympics.\" The women on Canada's world championship roster are too young to recall Hockey Canada's full time national men's team program of the 1980s and early 1990s.Like other Canadian hockey fans, the women wonder which men will be their Olympic teammates next year.It's a pretty cool experience for those players who wouldn't have had the opportunity,\u201d two-time Olympian Rebecca Johnston said.The women's team in Pyeongchang will likely have far more previous Olympic experience than the men.For example, it would be the fourth Winter Games for forward Meghan Agosta.The Olympic environment is like no other for an athlete, so Johnston is ready to give the men the benefit of her experience.If they ask me, sure, I'll give them advice,\" she said.l'Il help them out if I can.Anything for a fellow Canadian athlete.\" The Americans defending world women's champions, also took notice at the NHL's controversial decision.I think the whole world's following that, obviously,\" U.S.captain Meghan Duggan said Monday night.We talked about it a little bit at meal.Just everyone, 'Have you heard?Have you heard?It is what it is.It's obviously a decision that the NHL felt they had to make.Has nothing to do with us.We'll see what happens.\" U.S.teammate Hannah Brandt said she could understand why fans might be unhappy about the NHL's decision .I think it's disappointing for everyone.I think people want to see the best players in the Olympics, but it's hard to really _ it's a business decision,\" Brandt said.I think it's disappointing for fans, definitely.\" Printed and distributed by PressRea der press [feleld PressReader.com + +1 604 278 4604 COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 8 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 2017

rejection WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 2017 Dear Annie: A few years ago, my son \u201cBill\u201d and his family moved to a new state.They left me behind with no family or friends because they chose my ex over me (because I'm disabled and they needed someone to help with the kids while they were at work).It broke my heart, to the point that I didn\u2019t care whether I lived or died.I prayed to God to help me, and thanks to Him, I ended up finding an apartment that I could afford in my son\u2019s new town.I was so excited that I\u2019d be close to my grandbabies and my son.I got a Realtor, a moving company and a plane ticket.Things started going badly as soon as I got there.My son and his wife didn\u2019t bring my grandbabies to the airport, and all we did was ride past their house.When I asked about going to see his new house, he told me that I was being overbearing and I'd go to his house when he invited me.I started to question why I\u2019d even moved.I have a bunch of furniture I ordered online that is Dear Annie still sitting unassembled in boxes.Bill lives less than five minutes away but always has a reason for why he can\u2019t help me around the house \u2014 e.g., his long hours at work, his three children and his housework.My ex- husband also lives with them, and my daughter-in-law has told me that he does the laundry.To me, that is the most time-consuming chore.I don\u2019t see how housework could fill all your days off if laundry is already done for you! I just want my apartment to look the way that I envisioned it.I live on disability and can\u2019t really afford to pay people to come help.My son and his wife have no problem coming over and borrowing money from me.(I took out a $5,000 loan for them in my name.) I\u2019m feeling alone and depressed.Should I give up on their helping me and including me in family events?\u2014 Brokenhearted Mom Dear Brokenhearted: All the outside help in the world won\u2019t help you if you don\u2019t first learn to help yourself.Achieving more personal independence will allow you to have a healthier relationship with your family.It will also empower you to have a healthier relationship with yourself.Try getting involved with a local church or community activity to make some friends.Don\u2019t give your son any more loans.Instead, save that money for you.As soon as you can afford it, hire a handyman for one day (ask a neighbor for a recommendation) to come assemble the furniture that\u2019s still sitting in boxes.It will be well worth the money for you to have the peace and rest that come with a happy nest.Finally, you mentioned at one point not caring about whether you lived or died.Please, if you're ever in such a dark place again, reach out to a counselor, a religious adviser or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8255).Do not give up.There is a light at the end of the tunnel; in fact, there\u2019s light all around it.You just can\u2019t see it yet.Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearan- nie@creators.com.Leftovers make just the right amount KITCHEN SCOOP By Alicia Ross How do you stretch one cup of leftover chili to serve four people?This cooking dilemma was facing me when last-minute overnight guests showed up due to a family emergency.Going to a restaurant was out of the question and ordering pizza just seemed so unfriendly.What I wanted to give them was a home-cooked meal that would comfort them and make them feel loved.Then I remembered an old chili cornbread casserole.While I knew I didn\u2019t have enough chili to layer on the bottom of the casserole and cover with cornbread batter, I knew I could pump up the cornbread and stir in the chili for a delicious Chili Cornbread Pie.Topped with shredded lettuce and fresh tomatoes, this was just the light and warm dinner we all needed.So the next time you have that last cup of leftover chili, don\u2019t relegate it to a light lunch at the office.Make Chili Cornbread Pie and feed the whole family.xxx Suggested menu Chili Cornbread Pie Topped with lettuce and tomato Sliced citrus fruit Chili Cornbread Pie Start to finish: 45 minutes Yield: 4 servings 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 cup 2 percent milk 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided use 1 cup leftover chili of any kind (see Cook\u2019s Note) 1 tablespoon butter for unexpected guests 1 cup shredded lettuce 1/2 cup sliced grape tomatoes Dressing or taco sauce of choice, optional Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, salt, egg, sour cream, milk and 1/4 cup cheese.Stir well.Fold in the chili.Melt the butter and coat the inside of a 9-inch cast-iron skillet (or 9-inch glass pie plate).Pour the chili batter into the skillet.Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the pie and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.Cool for 5 minutes before ; slicing.Serve with lettuce, En\u201d tomatoes and taco sauce of Le your choice.Cook\u2019s Note: Any type of chili may be used.Be sure that it is not soupy, though.If it is, you will want to drain off any extra juice or the cornbread will not set.Canned chili may also be used if you don\u2019t have homemade leftovers.(If you need a delicious chili recipe, check out Turkey Chili With Veggies on www.kitchen- scoop.com.)

but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.\u201d Perhaps \u201cto try to win the game\u201d would have been more accurate.There are times when your cards are just not good enough to win.Today\u2019s deal gives two players, East and South, chances to make good plays.What should happen in four spades after West leads the heart king?North\u2019s rebid showed a balanced 18 or 19 \u2014 or a poor 20 \u2014 points with at least one heart stopper.If South had raised to three no-trump, it would have \u201cruined\u201d the deal.newsroom(@sherbrookerecord.com The Record North 04-05-17 & Q85 V QII0 + KQ7 & AKQ10 West East & J63 & 10 ¥YK2 YA987614 + 10 8543 + AJ 92 &974 &J5 South & AK9742 V 53 $ 6 & 8 632 Dealer: North Vulnerable: Both South West North East 1d 1Ÿ 14 Pass 2NT Pass 44 Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: ¥ K South has three red-suit losers, with possible problems in each black suit if the cards are distributed badly.East can see three defensive tricks: two hearts and one diamond.The fourth will have to come from the trump suit.So, after East wins the second heart, what should he do?If East immediately leads a third heart, South should discard his inevitable diamond loser.But if East defends better, cashing the diamond ace before playing the third heart, declarer will have to ruff high.Then he has to CROSSWORD draw trumps without losing a trick.Given the 2-6 heart split, West rates to be longer in spades than East.So, South should cash his second high spade.Here, the 10 drops from East.Now declarer should continue with a spade to dummy\u2019s eight.This finesse is a strong favorite to work.When a defender is hoping for a trump promotion, he should try to cash every side-suit trick first.Across 1 Chickens (out) 6 Lay eyes on 10 Judge\u2019s setting 14 Like kindling when lit 15 Advil target 16 Insulate, as a jacket 17 *Process of electron gain or loss 19 Killer whale 20 Cereal with lemony lemon and or- angey orange flavors 21 Falling-out 22 Bryn Mawr undergrads 23 Have a bawl 24 \"Beneficial substance in berries 26 Lacking the skill 28 Not as much 29 Katy who voiced Smurfette in \u201cThe Smurfs\u201d 30 \u201cJeopardy!\u201d creator Griffin 33 Takes off the shelf 34 *Eating 37 At the center of 40 Compete in a sack 41 Lets up 45 Asian rice porridge 47 Show up 48 *London subway system, with \u201cthe\u201d 52 Bus.card info 53 Highly recommends 54 \u201cMonday Night Countdown\u201d airer 55 Cruciverbalist Reagle of \u201cWordplay\u201d 56 Danish shoe company 57 Each answer to a starred clue begins and ends with identical ones 59 Big bunch 60 Golf game spoiler 61 Sailor\u2019s \u201cHalt!\u201d 62 Gull relative 63 Start of a preschool song 64 __-Bismol Down C R 1 Watches late TV until a teen comes home, say SEE T|O| > mir |\u2014|< +(O)- ol» 2 \u201cFrom my perspective : >| |m D|M|MjU 3 Hotel room amenity 4 Amount to pay in Calais on In|z|n|> mi+|\u2014-|r|O|0 1 > \u201c__ Who?\u201d ww] oo 6 Absorb the loss 7 \u201cThe Martian\u201d genre O|Z|Z|C|/U/|\u2014|I|O o|lm|x|>(= > OJ|nir|» T|/O|JO|Z XJ 8 Snapchat upload Z|x>|ir|x +|0|>(O)+|m|2|m|é CO 9 Nikkei index currency 10 Diabetic\u2019s concern 11 High behind a front, e.g.12 Holy smoke o [2XOoYwXm)| |w|c|o|o m|+|>|Z M|Z|D|Z|< > 13 Campsite shelters m|z m|+|>|0|| nmi > \u2014 DCN m 18 Former Education secretary Duncan 22 Golfer Michelle 24 Kirk __, first movie Superman wu|Zz|w|3|-|> 20|>|O|W m|
