is turning to the local population to help him do it.\u201cWhen I was kid in the Lac-Mégantic region, we could see hundreds of swallows all over on the countryside,\u201d Gauthier recalled, \u201cIn the same region today, there are hardly any swallows left, and I find that really sad.\u201d Noting that local swallow populations have decreased dramatically across the province since 1980 due to a combination of climate change, pesticides, and habitat loss, the concerned citizen said that he started to build bird houses specifically for \u201cthe little angels\u201d about ten years ago as a small way to help out.BR: Gauthier wants to save the Fire damages historic Record Staff SHERBROOKE n electrical failure is being blamed Ar causing a fire that damaged a istoric Dufferin Street building in Sherbrooke.According to Sherbrooke Prevention officials, the fire began in the basement and caused damages estimated at between $250,000 and $300,000 to the building that housed the historic Magog Hotel.Automatic sprinklers installed in the building helped to limit damage during the Tuesday morning fire.Today, Gauthier is focusing his efforts on the riverside property that Chris Hornibrook purchased in Lennoxville last year for the Foundations for Farming project.\u201c(Gauthier) is quite committed to restoring the bird population, and the particularly the swallow population in the area,\u201d Hornibrook told The Record.\u201cHe\u2019s a good guy.\u201d The Foundations for Farming organizer said that Gauthier reached out to him while the farm site was being renewed and prepared last year and the two quickly discovered that the property is already a popular location for birds.\u201cAt one point we saw birds going into the old chimneys and that caught his fancy so we called Oiseaux Quebec and Just before 6 a.m.passers-by observed smoke in the four-storey building, which houses the Le Magog, Le Duplessis, and L'Otre zone bars, a hairdresser, a convenience store and lodgings.The age of the century-old building made it more difficult for Sherbrooke firefighters who arrived to find smoke, and flames coming out of the roof.As there was smoke on the ground floor, this implied that the fire had spread on all floors.Authorities are crediting the alarm system and automatic sprinklers with delaying the spread of the fire to the they came in and did an assessment,\u201d Hornibrook said.\u201cThey recommended that we become a sort of a sanctuary for this population of birds that are dying; Chimney swifts.\u201d The farmhouse chimneys are now two of only 400 left in Quebec that attract the birds every year, and have a special status with the organization.\u201cWe\u2019re recognized by Oiseaux Quebec as what they call a destination point,\u201d Hornibrook said, adding that the mission of conservation fits in well with the sustainable and restorative mission of the Foundations for Farming program.Working together with Foundations for Farming on their site, Gauthier said that he simply wants to install as many bird houses as possible by inviting peo- Dufferin St.upper floors.Firefighters also faced complications due to a greasy deposit in the ventilation ducts, which helped spread the blaze.Fewer than a dozen people occupied the units on the upper floors of the building that once housed the Magog House, one of Sherbrooke's premier hotel establishments until the mid-20th century.The residents were evacuated quickly.According to the Sherbrooke Historical Society, the Magog House was built at this location in 1836 on the road known as King's Highway.The place ple to become a part of a swallow conservation club.\u201cWe invite the population to join the club to help to raise the swallow's population by buying a bird house at the cost of $20,\u201d he said, explaining that the cost goes toward the creation and installation of the specialized houses.\u201cI am not doing this to make money but simply for the love of the birds.\u201d Each bird house installed will feature the name of its sponsor and will be set up on a metal post near the banks of the St-Francis River.\u201cWhen I was a kid it was so beautiful to see all these little heads, side by side on the electric wires,\u201d Gauthier said.\u201cI just want to do my part in order to help those little angels.\u201d building served as a relay for stagecoaches.Before adopting the name Dufferin, the street was called Commercial Street.The building was rebuilt in brick in 1902 and served as a hotel until 1970.The Magog House has hosted several famous clients over the years, including Governor- General Charles Poullet Thomson, 1st Earl of Sydenham and strongman Edouard \u2018the Giant\u2019 Beaupré.It also hosted on several occasions a politician who would govern Quebec through much of the mid-twentieth century as Premier of Quebec, Maurice Duplessis.PHOTOS BY GORDON LAMBIE Trial of *\u201cMeégantic Three\u2019 to be held in Sherbrooke Record Staff SHERBROOKE The trial of the three major accused in the 2013 Lac-Mégantic railroad tragedy Will take place in Sherbrooke after Superior Court Judge Gaétan Dumas granted a motion Monday to change judicial district to have the jury trial moved from the Lac-Mégantic district to that of Saint-François.Thomas Harding, Richard Labrie and Jean Demaître will be tried for criminal negligence causing the death of 47 people on July 6, 2013 before a jury composed of twelve citizens, over which Dumas will preside.Three days were set aside earlier this week to discuss pre-trial motions on the admissibility of certain evidence.A publication ban precludes disclosure of the evidence in the motions.Harding is represented by Sherbrooke lawyer Thomas Walsh and Charles Shear- son, while Richard Labrie is represented by Guy Poupart and Jean Demaître by Gaétan Bourassa.The Crown has insisted that the file should \"remain accessible to the families of the victims and the population of Lac- Mégantic\".The selection of the jury for the trial for criminal negligence causing death is scheduled for September 11.Three and a half months have been reserved in the Superior Court for the hearing of the evidence and the defense of the three accused, if necessary.The Montreal, Maine & Atlantic (MMA) railway company is also accused of criminal negligence causing the death of 47 people, but Dumas separated the trial of the corporation from that of the three accused in January.Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter!

all things designed to send shivers through middle-class society and its concept of propriety.The prohibition campaign even affected the drug of choice of the dominant group - alcohol - in the brief and rather tragic experiment that was prohibition - with all its puritan, class, and nativist characteristics.That experiment ended in spectacular failure with prohibition\u2019s repeal in the early 1930s, its only lasting effect being a powerful organized crime network, increased consumption, regulations, age limits, and marketing boards.In spite of a relative relaxation of the repression of alcohol, the war on drugs continued unabated.As the weed was relatively unknown in mainstream Canadian society, it continued to be classified along with far more dangerous substances like heroin and cocaine, and - as a symbol of radicalism and alternative lifestyles \u2014 its continued demonization proved useful in Tomi the Liberal Government Smoke \u2018em 1f ya got \u2018em the Cold War as its use was conflated with loose morals, poor judgment, and a pathway to the devious subversion of International Communism.When the brush-cut conformity of 1950s America began to unravel into the cacophony of counterculture activism in the 1960s.marijuana became one of many symbols of youthful rebellion and became highly politicized in the process.As its use began to explode among previously protected white middle class youth, society began to re-examine recreational use of the drug, largely as the exaggeration and absurdity of the propaganda diffused by the state became apparent.For young people, this became an excuse to doubt all claims of drug dangers, helping to spread, rather than diminish, the use of other, far more dangerous substances.Its prohibition also made this diversification of recreational drug use far easier as the person who sold the pot was just as likely to be selling coke, speed, LSD, or any of the other substances that suddenly began to flood mainstream North American society.Prohibition also deprived the state of ay effective means to ensure quality or protect children.When the Le Dain Commission recommended the decriminalization of the possession and cultivation for personal use of cannabis in 1972, there was a general consensus among the population that, although it might not be harmless, it posed far less of a threat to public health than the readily available alcohol, and that creating felons out of its casual users represented a huge miscarriage of justice, not to mention societal hypocrisy.The potential revenue associated with state controlled distribution also began to make its implications felt.It\u2019s been 45 years since Gerald Le Dain\u2019s commission made its rather naive suggestions and they have been largely ignored ever since.But times have changed.The negative impacts of cannabis prohibition - organized crime and the wealth it accumulated not least among them - began to become clear to both the public and law enforcement agencies who had to direct massive amounts of resources to suppressing, unsuccessfully, the illicit trade.It became clear that the public was generally pre- THE 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec JIM 2E2 Fax: 819-821-3179 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON McCuLLy PUBLISHER .(819) 569-9511 STEPHEN BLAKE CORRESP.EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 SERGE GAGNON CHIEF PRESSMAN .(819) 569-9931 DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTING .vvieieinnnnnnnn (819) 569-9511 ADVERTISING .covvvvununnnn.(819) 569-9525 CIRCULATION NEWSROOM ee (819) 569-9528 ee (819) 569-6345 KNOWLTON OFFICE 5B VICTORIA STREET, KNOWLTON, QUEBEC, JOE 1VO TEL: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST 6.78 13.53 356 710 1.81 3.60 TOTAL $155.91 $81.85 $41.57 135.60 71.19 36.16 1 YEAR 6 MONTHS 3 MONTHS QUEBEC: ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS 1 YEAR 71.50 3.58 7.13 $82.21 1 MONTH 649 032 0.65 $7.46 Rates for out of Quebec and for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.QUEBEC: The Record was founded on February 9, 1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, 6 Mallory Street, Sherbrooke, QC J1M 2E2 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA pared to accept legalization of cannabis as a general principle, and governments began to focus on potential revenue income legalization could entail.Potential profits also seduced the kind of legitimate corporate interest that politicians cannot afford to ignore.The time seemed ripe for the fruit to fall and, rather courageously, Young Justin grabbed the bull by the horns in his initial national campaign and promised to change government policy if elected.Stoners have been waiting with bated breath ever since.Not for the first time in their lives, stoners will be disappointed.It is important to remember that the legalization of marijuana represents more a change of approach by government rather than a change of attitude.Now, the use of marijuana is being addressed as a public health issue, rather than as a criminal one, with all the delightful implications such an approach can mean.One need only examine government attitudes towards tobacco, another legal substance, to understand why some consumers aren\u2019t all that anxious to enjoy the benefits of government management.Nor are any of those who have clandestinely perfected cannabis culture over the decades likely to reap the commercial benefits of their labour, as government predilection for corporate participation has been made quite clear.Moreover, the years have provided a lot more information regarding the potential health risks of marijuana consumption.Some studies have indicated that its regular use among young adults \u2014 whose brains are apparently not quire developed until their early twenties - has been linked to the emergence of schizophrenia and other mental health issues.On the other hand, others indicate that it can have significant benefits for those suffering from anxiety, seizures, some forms of cancer and any number of heretofore untreatable ailments.Although the federal government will assume the responsibility of establishing quality controls and purity standards, it will be up to the individual provinces to work out their own approaches as to details \u2014 much as they currently do with regard to alcohol.Although the federal government will declare 18 to be the minimum age requirement, each province will be free to establish its own, as well as their own regulations with regards to distribution, retails sales, and taxation rates.Although this allows each jurisdiction the freedom to establish its own regional set of rules, it also frees the federal government of the expense and political consequences of enforcement.It also opens the door to the kind of inter-provincial competition that currently colours the trade in alcohol and tobacco.The next generation of Canadians will grow up in a world where cannabis is part of the norm and the variety of provincial regulations will - like liquor boards - become traditional parts of the landscape.They will not, however, see the free-for all their more Woodstock era great-grandparents envisaged.Oh well, we don\u2019t have flying cars yet either.Letters DEAR EDITOR, Was the case for the Sawyerville show! through September.Eaton Corner Museum says Thank You! sincere Thank You to all who participated in, and attended, our two recent fundraisers; The Irish Variety Night in Bulwer, and The Hank Williams and Patsy Cline Musical Show in Sawyerville.Both events were a success and the attendance at the Hank & Patsy Show was an amazing audience!

just the Canadian ones.The talent north of the 49th parallel has abundantly grown within this new emerging generation of hoopsters in the last ten years.At the professional level, Canadians continue to take leaps and bounds in terms of becoming household names on par with their American and European counterparts.There\u2019s been a recent surge in the amount of talent taking over the game, that was originally invented by Canadian educator James Naismith, with players like NBA champion Tristan Thompson and up and coming stars such as Andrew Wiggins and Jamal Murray taking on the NBA elite with their own superb skill and flair.It\u2019s become less of an outlier and more of a growing trend for Canadians to be creating an impact on both levels of basketball.March Madness drew over a 11.9

battle-hardened teams were a trio of Canadians \u2014 Dillon Brooks, Dylan Ennis and Duane Notice.All started and played prominent roles.With Canadian talent at the forefront of the NCAA and NBA, you can start to trace back the steps each player takes to the BioSteel showcase game, which now serves as a coming out party for Canadian players before college and the NBA.While Toronto has become more well known for Canadian basketball as the home of Canada\u2019s only NBA team.Quebec has made waves and announced its presence among the players of our very own hoops nation.When all of Canada\u2019s top basketball players congregated at the University of Toronto for a showcase of the best young talent coming through the ranks this past Monday.Quebec\u2019s best players shone brighter than anyone else on the court, each in their own unique ways.All four players with Quebec roots were placed on team Red, teaming up budding stars Luguentz Dort, Jerome Desrosiers, Christian David and Quincy Guerrier.After a slow start and a 69-69 tie at half, ultimately the Quebec driven team Red handed team White a 153-135 loss.\u201cThat was the one lineup we had that was pretty dam good, especially when they were all together,\u201d said Team Red head coach Chris Cheng (Nipissing University) on his players from the Belle Province.Luguentz Dort from Conrad Academy, Florida by way of Montreal Quebec dominated through out the game with power and speed, repeatedly slamming down dunks on his way to the winning team Red MVP honours.One possession after another Dort continuously drove the lane before doing his best to tear down the backboard with one high-flying slam after the other, the uncommitted class of 2018 star had a game high 30 points, 12-01-16, in the 153-135 victory.In attendance for the game were a slew of professional athletes and college scouts highlighted by the likes of Raptors superstar DeMar DeRozan and the Blue Jays\u2019 Marcus Stroman and Ryan Goins.According to Dort the celebrity attendees had no effect on him and his play.\u201cI'm going to play hard against everybody, no matter who\u2019s watching,\u201d said Dort.\u201cIt was a real honour for me to get the MVP, I think I'm the first guy from Montreal to win this award so that\u2019s really special.\u201d Jerome Desrosiers in his third straight showcase game had the respect of his head coach for not only what he did on the court but for the leadership role he took before even stepping on the floor to get in the game.\u201cFirst of all, he looks like he\u2019s older than me, that\u2019s crazy,\u201d exclaimed the team Red head coach after the game.\u201c(Desrosiers) was the x-factor for us tonight, he changed the pace.We got more physical with him.He\u2019s such a good kid he\u2019s so coachable and willing to play everywhere.\u201d Aside from the on the court production (13 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals) the coach went into detail about a situation that should detail above all else the

really great,\u201d said Cheng Butler commit Christian David also got plenty of praise from his coach for the way he came back from an injury to play in the showcase game.The 6\u20197 future Bulldog and Montreal native was impressive in his defensive effort for such a high scoring game with the most rebounds, 8, of any player through the first 36 minutes before finishing with 11 grabs off the board on the evening.The youngest of the Quebec contingent of players was Quincy Guerrier and he was no slouch either in the game.The class of 2019 prospect finished the first half scoring with 12 points going 5-of-6 and a perfect 2-for-2 from beyond the arc playing just 7 minutes to that point.SESE ys wv [J ) ES D 0 OUR EASTER SPECIAL IS HERE: renew your subscription or take a new subscription

Page 9 The single game WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 2017 Dear Annie: I'm 25 years old, and I got out of a long- term relationship almost a year ago.Being thrust back into the world of singles was a difficult adjustment, and I'm still a little uneasy when it comes to dating.There seem to be a few schools of thought when it comes to dating advice for women.The one that most resonates with me \u2014 because I've seen it ring true in the past year and because the women (and men) who've told me this are intelligent, mature adults \u2014 is that if a man wants to see you, he will see you; and if he doesn\u2019t make plans, he\u2019s just not that into you.Doesn\u2019t matter if he\u2019s on a business trip across the country, busy with work or doing anything else.He will make it happen.According to this logic, it would make sense to not make the first move and initiate conversation with a guy.That way, I'd know how into me he is.I'm a no- drama woman.Shyness is one thing, but I don\u2019t want to have to play games \u2014 play hard to get or whatever \u2014 after I meet someone to \u201ctest\u201d his affections.What advice do you have for millennials in the dating world?Are there any deal breakers when it comes to communication or behavior on dates?\u2014 How to Be Single Dear Single: There\u2019s no single rule, except to follow whatever guidance most resonates with you \u2014 and to never call multiple times in a row or send an avalanche of text messages.That said, if you like a guy and you want to ask him out or simply follow up after a date, why not?You're no doubt thinking about it anyway.If he\u2019s interested, great.If not, you will know and can resume kissing toads in search of your prince.Dear Annie: I just read the letter from \u201cFrustrated.\u201d Let me get this straight: This wife is upset because her husband spends one afternoon a week going grocery shopping for his mother?What about the six days a week he spends with his wife?Either there is more to the story or she is very self-centered.She suggested wanting to put her mother-in-law in a nursing home.Nursing homes are for people who absolutely cannot take care of themselves and have serious medical issues that require round-the-clock care.There are independent and assisted living homes, where she could be around people her own age.As for this mother-in-law\u2019s not liking to be around her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, people in their 80s often do not like to be around children because of the noise and energy levels.It does not mean they don\u2019t love their grandchildren or great-grand- children.It just means they do not have the tolerance for kids that they did in younger years.A very good friend of mine \u2014 I called him my surrogate dad \u2014 used to tell me, \u201cYou don\u2019t know what it\u2019s like to be this age until you are this age.\u201d He died at the age of 96, and I have so many beautiful memories of spending time with him and my mom until she died at the age of 95.\u2014 Susan Dear Susan: I appreciate your sharing.Our elders are capable of teaching us so much.If only we\u2019d listen sooner! Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearan- nie@creators.com.Dear Annie: What should I do about my adult children\u2019s birthdays?My birthday is Jan.1.Most years, my children acknowledge it with a card, not just a text.hs = N \u201c7 \u2014 x ; A : SE » i i Ë oo 2 i GE 5 ® is Sh Dear Annie This year, all I got were texts from them.I was very hurt.Their father\u2019s birthday is later in the year, and they will buy him a gift plus a card.May I just text them on their birthdays to reciprocate their behavior?Their father won\u2019t remember to get a card, etc.I feel like giving to charities in their names for their birthdays.Would that be OK?I'm in a pickle regarding what to do.\u2014 Birthday Blues Dear Birthday: First, happy belated birthday.And shame on your children.The least they could have done was send a card.I\u2019m guessing you're such a giver that they take dear old Mom for granted.Perhaps they need to be reminded that you have feelings.Tell them \u2014 or have your husband tell them \u2014 that their actions (or lack thereof) hurt you.As for what to do for their birthdays, giving to charity is always a great idea.Go for it.I dare them to complain.Dear Annie: I am hoping this letter can help open the public\u2019s eyes to the fact that kids, not just adults, can have mental illness issues.They often appear normal to others, and even their families tend to forget that these issues \u2014 severe anxiety, for example \u2014 are going on inside their minds.My granddaughter has certain sensitivities and has been bothered in recent months by strangers coming up to her, and I want to remind everyone that under no circumstances should a stranger touch a child.We have encountered problems with this many times.Before Halloween, I was at a pumpkin patch with my granddaughter.The man selling pumpkins said to me, \u201cYou can leave your granddaughter with me.We will carve a pumpkin, and you can come back and pick her up.\u201d I politely said no.My granddaughter picked out a pumpkin, and he touched her on the arm.We got in the car, and she was near tears, saying, \u201cHe scared me, and he touched me.I will never go back there again.\u201d That same day, we stopped at a chain drugstore, and the sales clerk bent over and grabbed the pompoms on my granddaughter\u2019s hat, which she had just gotten at a craft show.The clerk bopped my granddaughter on the face with the dangly pompom.Thank goodness she didn\u2019t have a meltdown in the store.Once we were in the car, she was near tears again.She said she would never wear this hat again because a stranger had touched her on the face with her own hat.In a local mall, we were sitting in an eatery, when an older man came over and started asking about my daughter.My granddaughter was again upset by a stranger and thanked me for not telling him her name.In the future, these people may touch a child in front of someone who will turn them in.Please don\u2019t touch kids you don\u2019t know or don\u2019t have permission to touch, even if they are so cute you can hardly resist.\u2014 Concerned Grandmother Dear Concerned: I'm sure many of these strangers are just trying to be friendly, but thank you for reminding all of us to respect the personal space of children.It\u2019s always best to exercise that caution.Dear Annie: Christmas has just passed, and once again, I find myself hurt and insulted by my best friend\u2019s gift.CANADIANS READ THE NEW EVERY WE EER.HPS Beene 66e F VEoo | F READ THE PAPER IN , THEY SAW ADVERTISED CLOTHES iy ce - +2 M aii!

I was so hurt.I spent days looking for the perfect gift for her, and I spent a lot of money.I also gave her a huge container of homemade Christmas cookies and candy that she loves.I have never been one who cares much about what I get; I get my pleasure from giving and knowing I made someone happy.But I just cannot help but be hurt.I haven\u2019t spoken to her since Christmas, and she has been texting me, asking whether I liked the gifts.Am I being overly sensitive or selfish by feeling the way I do?Should I confront her about this?\u2014 Feeling Used in New York Dear Feeling: It sounds as if you're gifted in the art of finding someone just the right present, and that\u2019s great.But not everyone is the type.Presents may not be that big of a deal to your friend, or perhaps money\u2019s too tight for her to go all out.She did at least try to put something together.If she\u2019s a good friend in all other respects, be thankful for that.Keep staring the gift horse in the mouth and it\u2019s liable to take a bite out of your friendship.Dear Annie: My partner and I took in a young homeless man and have come to find out he has a mild mental illness.Our problem is figuring out how to include him in activities.We want him to feel that he is welcome and a part of the family.He does go to what he calls classes, but when he comes home, he goes back to his room.Any ideas on how to make him feel wanted and welcome?\u2014 Concerned in Kentucky Dear Concerned: It will take time for him to adjust to his new life and be comfortable, so let him have the space he needs.He\u2019s probably accustomed to keeping people at a distance.But a great and important place for familial bonding is the dinner table.Make a habit of cooking for him and eating together as a family every night.Beyond that, seek help from a licensed counselor.Mental illness, like any illness, can become more serious and debilitating if left untreated.It was very kind of you and your partner to take this young man in, and now the kindest thing you can do is find him the help he needs.Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearan- nie@creators.com.THE RECORD 819-569-9525 DO THE MATH.ADVERTISE IN THE NEWSPAPER.ND NEWSPAPERS CANADA NADbank, ComBase: Adults 18+, print and online Printed and distributed by PressReader PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 press [(ele [Hg * ORIGINAL COPY + ORIGINAL COPY * ORIGINAL COPY + ORIGINAL COPY » ORIGINAL COPY » ORIGINAL COPY » COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 10 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 2017 production(@)sherbrookerecord.com The Record CELEBRITY CIPHER ALLEY OOP - by Luis Campos Celsbrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and praesent.Each letter in the cipher stands for another.\u201cZNC ARNP, VD IKNGU BUPG WUSTVRUE, XRE IKU BWVUGIG LXYU IKU WXVEUWG GSNWUG, V'E LN IN SKCWSK UYUWZ GCREXZ.\u201d \u2014 LUNWLU TNBUH Previous Solution: \u201cI don't think | ever really knew the right words to \u2018Hava Nagilah,\u201d which isn\u2019t great for a Jewish singer.\u201d \u2014 Idina Menzel TODAY'S CLUE: M stenbay REALITY CHECK i \u2014\u2014 \u2014 ge te eR [see Jeans il - « |!

If West had led its singleton club, I could not have made the contract.But West chose the spade six.I captured East\u2019s 10 with my king and played a newsroom(@sherbrookerecord.com The Record North 04-12-17 ® A943 VAQI7T $ 7 & 10 742 West East &J876 & 10 V 10962 v \u2014 + AJ 104 + KQ9532 & 6 & K J9853 South KQ52 Y K8543 + 86 &AQ no-trump Dealer: North Vulnerable: Neither South West North East Pass Pass 1Ÿ Pass 34 Pass 3NT Pass 49 Pass ANT Pass 58 Pass 6Y Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: # 6 heart to dummy\u2019s jack.East\u2019s diamond- five discard was a blow.Now I had to lead dummy\u2019s diamond.East won with the queen and shifted to a club.Having no choice, I played my queen.After a diamond ruff and the heart ace-queen, I had to return to my hand to draw West's last trump.Judging that surely East would have given West a spade ruff if the opening lead had been a singleton, I crossed to my spade queen and easily took the rest of the tricks.Note that West was waiting to ruff my club ace.CROSSWORD We were the only pair out of 16 in six hearts.There were 14 in four hearts, and the final table\u2019s auction was bizarre.It went pass - pass - one heart - pass - two hearts(!) - three diamonds (not two no- trump, which would have shown at least 5-5 in the minors) - pass - four diamonds - all pass, making five!
