lanuary Opening Lead: king of spades The word "double" is often used in bridge vocabulary. It has variâ€" ous types of meanings. Usually, the position of the doubler indicates its meaning. Sometimes, the doubler is asking partner to lead a cerâ€" tain suit. If the opponents have wound up their bidding session, a double is often for penalty. If an opponent doubles at that player‘s first opportunity to bid, it is an informative, or takeâ€"out double, as asking partner to bid a suit, noâ€"trump, or pass if it appears that the contract can be defeated. West doubled south‘s opening call of one heart, indicating that the hand has an opening bid, and support for any suit east may choose to answer. After north made an intervening bid, east is not obliged to reply, so with only two highâ€"card points, east passed. When south also passed, west‘s second double indicates a hand stronger than the minimum range, and again requests east to bid. This time east must bid the club suit, because north passed this time around. South pushed the bidding to three hearts, as a final contract. West took the first two tricks with the king and ace of spades. When the queen fell on the ace, the jack was led next. South trumped this, and played a small trump to dummy‘s king. Now the last spade in dummy was trumped in the closed hand. The ace of hearts drew the rest of the trumps. But at this point, south fears there may be five losers,two spades, one diamond and two clubs. However, the bidding has furnished declarer with a clue as to the position of the outstandâ€" ing high cards. It would appear that, due to west‘s strong bidding, that player likely holds the ace of clubs, and the king of diamonds. South wants west to be in the lead, so a small diamond is played toward the jack in dummy. West didn‘t take this with the king because the leadâ€"back would have to be either a club or a diamond. If west had taken it, south is home free. Then south played the two of diamonds, putting in the eight. West is on the spot again. West either has to lead a diamond into the AQ or a club. The ace of clubs was played, plus another club. This eliminated one of south‘s expectâ€" ed losers in the club suit â€"â€" fulfilling the contract of three hearts.

The developmentally disabled are entitled to a life like anyone else. Usually they don‘t buy cars or computers but they can enjoy themâ€" selves by going to the theatre, the museum or Canada‘s Wonderland. So say two active and dedicated Oakville women, Andree Russell and Catherine Rhodes â€" who launched a reactivated Auxiliary to Community Living Oakville (CLO, formerly the Oakville Association for the Mentally Retarded). For 37 years the Auxiliary of core members â€" many of whom are in the new organization â€" have worked on behalf of the developâ€" mentally disabled. Its accomplishâ€" ments included organizing Bikeâ€"Aâ€" Thons and contributing to the capiâ€" tal funding of the workshop on Speers Road. â€""Although it was there when called upon, it was never really organized," said Russell. $ Now it is. It has a sixâ€"member executive and some 36 willing helpers working on various commitâ€" tees and is seeking more members from the general public, with or without developmentally disabled relatives. The Auxiliary has its eye on sevâ€" eral goals that should enhance the wellâ€"being of the developmentally disabled by presenting them with more challenges as steps toward greater personal achievement â€" to help them try their own wings, so to speak. To achieve this, it will proâ€" vide opportunities for them to reach out in as many ways as possible.

But most of all it will work to keep CLO clients in the public‘s eye. "I think they are going to be very visible," said Russell. "We want people to know they‘re in the community." Rhodes explained that the people they help have been well received in Oakville, although a few people "don‘t know how to take them." She described her own strapping son as a 35â€"yearâ€"old who is still "a little boy", one who cannot be trained out of asking personal quesâ€" tions of strangers. Russell said her son screams at times and, although city bus drivers have been trained to manage these disruptions and are "incredibly understanding," others may not be. envelope For tradit LAISEE ENVELOPES But by and large, the town is a good place for them, bearing out Russell‘s good feeling about Oakville when she first set foot in it 20 years ago. It has generally accepted the adult developmentally disabled in the community as readiâ€" SsUITE 209 HOPEDALE MALL ly as it did the "cute, affectionate children" they once were. The two women noted that clients‘ disabilities cover a wide range â€" from those in wheelchairs to others who are "fairly indepenâ€" dent" and able, for the most part, to cope on their own.
