black history month events begin saturday
F
riday is the start of Black history Month, and numerous events will be occurring throughout the area to honor the achievements by black americans and the role they played in u.s. history. for those who need a brief history lesson, the celebration started in 1926 as Black history week, the brainchild of historian carter g. woodson. in 1976, as part of the nation’s bicentennial, the week was expanded into Black history Month. since then, every u.s. president has designated the month of february as Black history Month. other countries around the world, including canada and the united kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating black history. canada also celebrates in february, while in the u.k. it’s honored in october.
But back to the charleston area. here are some local events happening this first week of Black history Month:
magnolia plantation
Magnolia plantation and gardens will be hosting events each saturday during Black history Month, with the award-winning slave cabin project, “from slavery to freedom,” serving as the backdrop for historians, artisans, genealogists and
storytellers. The four former slave dwellings that make up the project were occupied from 1850 into the late 20th century. in 2008, the cabins were restored to represent different periods from slavery to reconstruction, the Jim crow era and the civil rights movement. each saturday throughout the month, one of the cabins will be featured during the celebration titled “from slavery to freedom: a testament of time.” from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., activities will include foodways and craft demonstrations, storytellers, children activities, a specialized cabin tour, live music and a walk through Magnolia’s africanamerican cemetery, which holds the remains of black families who cultivated Magnolia’s gardens. The lectures and concurrent demonstrations will cost $8 for adults in addition to the $15 general garden admission. children under 6 may attend for free. This saturday, the 1850s cabin will be featured to discuss slavery. The featured speaker at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. will be dr. John Michael vlach of george washington university. he will present his work on plantation architecture. concurrent demonstrators will include brickmaking by rodney prioleau, master mason at fort sumter national Monument, and provisioning and the slave garden by heather welch, Magnolia’s foodways historian. for information on the Black history Month schedule, call 571-126 or go to www.magnoliaplantation. com.

grimsley hall. Based on the research of author douglas Blackmon, the “documentary recounts how in the years following the civil war, insidious new forms of forced labor emerged in the american south, keeping hundreds of thousands of african-americans in bondage, trapping them in a brutal system that would persist until the onset of world war ii.” for information on these events and on the additional events that will take place throughout the month, go to www.citadel.edu/root/ black-history-13.
spiritual ensemble
The cso spiritual ensemble, a 35-member vocal group that focuses on traditional spirituals, will celebrate its fifth anniversary and honor Black history Month on saturday. The performance titled “no trouble at the river: The perilous story of the underground railroad” will include spirituals and other songs that “helped express hope for deliverance from Provided their sorrows.” The program Rodney Prioleau (right), a master mason for the Fort will include songs such as Sumter National Monument, will be demonstrating “no trouble at the river,” brickmaking as part of Magnolia Plantation and Gar“pie Jesu,” an ode to those den’s Black History Month events Saturday. who lost their lives running for freedom, “deep river” holding events throughout Bazaar 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at and “keep your lamps,” the month is The citadel, Buyer auditorium in Mark among others.

ast week, i watched tv reports of the famed Mavericks invitational big wave surf contest held off half Moon Bay, calif., and marveled not only at the bravery of facing three- to five-story high waves but the cold of the pacific waters and January air. Just like Maverick’s, minus the massive waves and superstar surfers, the second annual icebox open on folly Beach is a winter surfing contest that waits for the best wave conditions, no matter how cold, rainy or windy, not a specific date on the calendar. it’s a common practice in the west and in hawaii. “we use a waiting period so we could get the best, most rideable surf,” said ocean surf shop owner scott Quattlebaum. “Most contests in our area are held on a specific day, and if you get waves, you are lucky. we wanted to give our contestants the best chance to shine in big, and likely cold, conditions. hopefully, the swell will cooperate.” ocean surf shop, along with the local chapter of the eastern surfing association, started icebox last year, in part, to recognize the yearround surfing community and bridge the offseason gap between the warmer-weather surf contests. last year’s inaugural event drew 32 males and eight females. local surfers kyle Busey and grace Muckenfuss took home $1,000 and $400, respectively. “The first event was really popular,” Quattlebaum said. “we were quite surprised at the turnout. it was like everyone was stoked to come out

They will make the call about four days before the contest and will announce it on ocean’s website, facebook page, email list and media sources. By the way, the water temperature in charleston was 53 last week. The contest is drawing support from other businesses, such as rita’s seaside grille and gold’s gym, and attention from beyond the charleston surfing community. “i have also spoken to some of my surf industry friends, so we will likely get
high-level surfers from the coasts of virginia, north carolina and florida to join the fray this year,” hagood said. “we could see some talent from across the southeast. it is exciting to see the contest grow after just one year.” check www.oceansurf shop.com for updates and more information.

‘Quartet’: you’re never too old to be a diva By roger Moore MCT
movie review
ld musicians, they have the best insults. “your singing brought tears to my ears.” “i can’t forget you in ‘carmen.’ But i’ll try.” The retired musicians at Britain’s Beecham house may not have the cash or relatives to ensure they pass their last years at home. But they still have their wit, their love of rehearsal and the fading vestiges of their talent. That’s the setting for dustin hoffman’s dainty, adorable and adorably predictable film of ronald harwood’s play. it’s a celebration of great old actors set in a world of once-great singers, and hoffman’s affection for them and the material shows in every frame. aged operatic divas, the female and the male variety, and lesser mortals from the chorus, orchestra or english music halls fill the rooms of Beecham house, people who must live surrounded by music, preferably their own. “now, when i was gilda, it was a triuMph.” “yes, i remember my

The ancient, imperious Jean, “as large as life, and twice as terrifying,” is new to Beecham. and that creates a stir. cissy (pauline collins, delightful) was Jean’s forgetfully addled supporting player please see ‘Quartet’, page e7

“i’m like ‘The 40-year-old virgin.’ ” he declares that he already was directing in his head, and aloud, when he was 19, in his first acting classes. “i intuitively started to direct,” he explains. “and i would help friends out, and i had a feel for it.

the (recent) kennedy center honor to prove it. But he did direct theater way back when: “when i was trying to make a living in new york for 10 years (the late ’50s, the early ’60s) you would see on the bulletin board in the actors’ equity offices, you could direct community theater in new Jersey. you could take the bus there. and i took that job, and it was an extraordinary experience and i please see Hoffman, page e7

don’t sing any more. and that’s final.” The plot is slight and its surprises are revealed long before they charmingly play out. But hoffman anchors his movie in performance. string quartets, clarinet duets and piano solos are performed, and classical music warhorses by Boccherini and his ilk litter the soundtrack like rose petals strewn down a red carpet. real musicians and singers, veterans of the British stage, flesh out the supporting cast. The other type of performance stands in the foreground. dame Maggie is having the sort of latecareer renaissance that can only be compared to america’s Betty white. here, she’s not in period costume and looks years younger than her recent screen appearances in

“downton abbey” and “Best exotic Marigold hotel.” she breaks out of her imperious pigeon-hole and makes Jean
vulnerable, unsure of herself, in between moments when she does her trademark pursed-lips putdown.
courtenay’s reggie is kindly, curious (he studies rap to teach opera to high schoolers). courtenay
(“The dresser”) makes him a combination of wounded and testy. collins, most famous for “shirley valentine,” brings bubbly life to a senile dementia case that is standard issue in too many movies about the elderly. and connolly, hurling crass pickup lines at nurses and the doctor in charge (sheridan smith), emptying his bladder whenever and wherever he must, is a wisecracking delight. hoffman doesn’t break the mold, shock or awe anyone with his treatment of this comfort-food comedy. But he does celebrate veteran entertainers, their vanities, foibles and undying passion for their art form in a way he probably wishes other directors would do for him. for show people, 75 isn’t the end. it’s just an excuse to take one more curtain call.
Hoffman from page e6
said he expects that he will direct again soon. and he has been rumored to star in films opposite channing tatum (“The contortionist’s handbook”) and anthony hopkins (“The song of names”). he shared his philosophy about filmmaking, and maybe about life: “all you’re trying to do is each day look back and be able to say, ‘i couldn’t have tried harder.’ “when you wake up in the morning: ‘could i have tried harder?’ and if you say, ‘yeah ... well, that i’ve never done.” and he credits that work ethic to Mike nichols, the director who gave hoffman his first big break: the role of Benjamin Braddock in a little 1967 film called “The graduate.” “he took me aside one day on the set, i was very tired, i was 29 years old, and he said, ‘what’s the matter?’ and i said, ‘oh, i stayed up late.’ “and he looked at me very closely — Mike was only about 35 — and he says, ‘you’re never going to get another chance to do this scene. and it’s going to be
up there for your life, at least.’ he didn’t know it was going to turn out the way it did, ‘The graduate.’ But i’ve never forgotten that. This is your chance to do this, you’ll never be able to do this again.” hoffman looks out across the room and smiles. “so the challenge is not only to try as hard as you can, but to find it in the most alive way. and not to leave until you feel it’s alive. even if it falls short of being what you thought it should be in
terms of the elements that you wanted in it, it’s alive. “That aliveness is allimportant.” and while we’re citing wise words from famous directors, here are some more: “Billy wlder once said something that i wrote down in the front of the script for ‘Quartet,’ and i looked at it every day of the production,” hoffman notes. “he said, ‘if you’re trying to tell the truth to the audience, you better be funny or they’ll kill you.’

directed a play. Then there was one in fargo, n.d., and i flew there and i did ‘two for the seesaw’ and ‘The time of your life.’ and when i look back, they are among the richest experiences i’ve ever had.” looking back at rich experiences is a theme in “Quartet,” but also having rich experiences in the here and now. hoffman cast his film with real-life musicians from the worlds of opera, classical music and jazz. Most of the roles, apart from the biggies, belong to these folks. “i mean, that guy playing the trumpet, he’s still got his chops, but nobody calls him because he’s 83,” said hoffman, speaking of ronnie hughes, who actually still get gigs tooting his horn. “These people worked 14-plus hours a day. These people are in their 70s, 80s, 90s. The woman in the wheelchair who sings at the beginning of the film — she confesses to being 86, and ... we all know she’s fibbing.” hoffman, who lives in los angeles with his wife, lisa,

even zombie teens need love and ‘warm bodies’ By roger Moore MCT
i
Jonathan wenk/ePk.tv
magine a “twilight” where the panting, flirting teens were in on the joke, where the gulf between them was more about communication skills than supernatural schisms. where one teen had really bad skin. That’s “warm Bodies,” a funny teen romance set against the aftermath of the Zombie apocalypse. Jonathan (“50/50”) levine has turned isaac Marion’s teen romance novel into an often amusing tongue-in-cheek romantic comedy — tongue in cheek, and brains in teeth. chewy, tasty brains. nicholas hoult (“clash of the titans,” “X-Men: first class”) is the perfectly droll zombie narrator who staggers about with the usual teen angst. “why can’t i connect with people? oh, right. i’m dead.” he can’t remember his name, can’t justify his means of survival — eating the brains, etc., of the few remaining humans. (“at least i’m conflicted about it.”) and he’s lonely. he holes up in an abandoned business jet and listens to old love songs (“Missing you”) on his battery-powered turntable. and then he spots “her.” and if you’ve seen teresa palmer in “The sorcerer’s apprentice” or “i am number four,” you get it — gorgeous enough to reanimate the dead. Julie (palmer) is the daughter of the benevolent dictator (John Malkovich) of the local walled enclave of humans, one of the young people considered wily and nimble enough to be sent out foraging among the walking dead — medical supplies, canned foods, the things that will keep the human race going just a little bit longer. The zombies get the drop

sly almost one-ups arnold in ‘bullet to the head’ By roger Moore MCT
movie review
hoppy and bordering on incoherent, “Bullet to the head” is sylvester stallone’s answer to arnold schwarzenegger’s “The last stand,” an action exercise in “here’s how we used to do it.” sly one-ups arnold in that old-school regard by bringing in walter (“48 hours”) hill, king of action directors when stallone was in his glory days: the 1980s. But “Bullet” isn’t remotely as direct as its title. it shows all the hallmarks of a movie that’s been recut and changed directors (wayne kramer started the film). characters, relationships and motivations seem shortchanged. and it’s every bit as dated and dumb, in different ways, as “The last stand.” still, stallone brings the burly and the breezy to this turn as a new orleans hit man teaming with a cop (sung kang) to track down the guys who set him up and got his partner killed. Jimmy “Bobo” Bonomo (stallone) has borrowed his “code” from the anti-hero of John woo’s “The killer”: “no women, no kids.” a hit he carried out led to repercus-

But the funereal tone is better suited to a picture with more gravitas than this fisher stevens film earns. pacino is val, a moptopped convict who gets out of a long stint in prison as the film opens. walken is doc, his pal, loyal since the ’70s, when val went in. doc is every inch the old man — a veritable recluse, painting, living in a dank apartment, visiting the same diner for every predictable meal.
But val wants to party like it’s 1979. find a bar, find a brothel. it’s meant to be a night “like the old days.” But there’s a mob boss who still has a grudge. one guy is supposed to kill the other. val and doc get into a kerfuffle. They right a wrong, steal a car. They drag their old getaway driver (alan arkin) out of a nursing home, oxygen tank and all. They reminisce. “remember that time you threw that greek out the hotel window?” walken brings a quiet
dignity to doc, a man of violence long reformed. “i’m retired. i’m serious.” But pacino’s val ignores the entreaties of one and all to not embarrass himself. he does. arkin sparks the picture to life, acting his age and being funny at it. and the addition of Julianna Margulies as the child of one “stand up guy” and of lucy punch as the madam at the cut-rate brothel enliven a few scenes. But the gags come from a score of earlier films and sitcoms.

cast iron skillet trailer makes a mean sandwich

s much has been made of the food trucks here in charleston, we tend to pass over the other mobile meal-bearing vessel: the food trailer. cory’s grilled cheese, roadside seafood, dukes Barbecue’s clever log cabin and even BlackJack Barbecue’s big red rig help make up the caravan. and here’s another for the list: cast iron skillet. toting barbecue, burgers and a few creative turns, cast iron skillet takes to the winds in a large black trailer, painted flames tickling its logo. The food trailer mainly makes appearances in north charleston, touching down at the celadon

But the cast iron skillet ably manages, whether building cook-to-temperature angus burgers ($7.50) or frying up hand-battered shrimp ($8). Barbecue ($6.50), chopped
cheese and pesto mayo make welcome additions. even so, the bet of the bunch might be the Mad cap portobello ($8). a sizable, beefy portobello mushroom is bathed in

The red oak wood, too, is harvested on wadmalaw island and painstakingly aged and dried so its subtle complexities perfume or perfuse the ingredients. The cooking system, manufactured according to Thurston’s specs, is used for hearth roasting, rotisserie cooking, plancha searing, smoking chocolate and grilling steaks, mushrooms and fish. all of this primitive cooking comes with the price of time, and embers and coals must adjust to the liquefaction of fat and the development of char and crust.

genres with ease. on his latest studio release, “My true story,” neville goes back to his childhood musical roots, recording some of his favorite doo-wop classics. from the first track, a cover of The drifters’ “Money honey,” it is obvious that these songs mean something to neville. he treats each song as if it were a vital part of his youth, because that’s what these tunes represent. other standout songs include “Be My Baby,” “tears on My pillow,” “under the Boardwalk” and the title track.
lia last year, ant has released his first studio album in 17 years. even the title seems ambitious, “adam ant is the BlueBlack hussar Marrying the gunner’s daughter.” once you start listening to the album, it becomes clear that ant has lost none of his playful nature when it comes to songwriting. while there’s nothing on the new cd to compare to “goody two shoes,” it is immediately evident that he still can write a great pop hook. songs such as “cool Zombie” and “Marrying the gunner’s daughter” evoke memories a guitarist who is also a major record label owner as well as a lead singer with a ph.d. from cornell university. even with all that respective studying and tending to record label needs, Bad religion has managed to deliver 16 albums since it first formed in 1979. The latest, “true north,” continues Bad religion’s penchant for socially and politically conscious song subjects, as well as the band’s trademark three-part harmony, which band members refer to as “the oozin’ ahs.” “true north” is easily one of the band’s most accessible albums in some time, with songs like “robin hood in reverse” and “hello cruel world” showing the band’s knack for
The album is co-produced by don was and keith richards and features primo musicians such as Benmont tench, greg leisz, tony scherr and george receli. richards even cues up his own guitar to play on some of the tunes. while it seems that everyone and his brother is recording cover albums, “My true story” seems to rise above the glut of those releases. it’s a classy release from one of the most beautiful male voices in music. key tracks: “money honey,” “tears on my Pillow,” “under the boardwalk”
of ant’s ’80s heyday while also showing he can write music for this day and age. not every song on the album is a winner. “valentines” and “darlin’ Boy” both seem to drone on for far too long, while “who’s a goofy Bunny” can be answered with “the guy who wrote this.” still, tracks like “punkyoungirl” and “cradle your hatred” give glimpses of why ant was a superstar in the ’80s. key tracks: “cool zombie,” “cradle your hatred,” “Punkyoungirl” writing a decent melody with its political ideas. That isn’t to say that Bad religion has gone soft. “dharma and the Bomb,” “land of endless greed” and a song with a title that can’t be printed here show that Bad religion is as angry and hungry as ever. it’s nice to know that you can count on a few things in life, a good Bad religion album being one of them. key tracks: “robin hood in reverse,” “land of endless greed,” “hello cruel world” — by devin grant

a silent film
for the past seven years, oxford, england’s indierock quartet a silent film has been proving itself as a band with a new sound and old ethics. relatively unknown in the u.s., a silent film has taken to the road in recent years to try and build its overseas presence, touring tirelessly with the likes of sleigh Bells, The smashing pumpkins, onerepublic, temper trap and fitz & The tantrums to help its efforts. The band released its u.k. debut, “The city That sleeps,” in 2008 and quickly began drawing comparisons to other British bands with entrancing rock styles, such as coldplay, keane and snow patrol. The band wisely worked on building a following in its native land before releasing the u.s. version of the album in 2010. since then, a silent film has become somewhat of a band of road warriors, having performed nearly yearround throughout the states, the u.k. and beyond. The band celebrated the release of its latest effort, “sand & snow,” in mid-2012. a silent film will perform saturday at the Music farm, 32 ann st. tickets are $7 in advance, $10 the day of the show and are available at the door or online at etix.com. doors open at 8 p.m. go to musicfarm.com or call 577-6989 for more.

The Plinko game for The Price is Right Live!
‘come on down!’
you could be the next contestant on the Price is right live! By stratton lawrence Special to The Post and Courier
stay of network television in 1972, when the venerable Bob Barker took over as ringleader. several eing sick in grade school prime-time iterations followed, wasn’t so bad. Beyond the as well as over three dozen interchicken noodle soup, getting national spinoffs, from “el precio to skip school and the extra pamJusto” in spain to italy’s “ok, il pering from Mom, it meant being prezzo e giusto!” home on a weekday to watch “The “The success of the television show price is right.” is due in large part to its familiarity no other game show — not “Jeop- and comfort,” said todd newton, ardy!,” “family feud” or “wheel of the host of The price is right live! fortune” — can claim the longevon its national tour. “i really believe ity or worldwide ubiquity of “The that Johnny carson created apprice is right.” pointment television (shows that what began in 1956 with host viewers set aside a specific time each Bob cullen grew into a daily main- day to watch) in nighttime, and ‘The

when the former host retired in 2007, newton was among the finalists for the television job, a post that ultimately went to drew carey. newton held on to The price is right live! post for a multiyear run in las vegas, as well as picking up the job of hosting “family game night” on cable channel The hub. last year, that role earned him a daytime emmy for outstanding game show host. “one of the first congratulatory notes i received was from Bob, and he said, ‘congratulations on your please see Price, page e21

how to play
dream coming true,’ ” recalls newton. “i thought that was just a really great showing of class and professionalism.” from his early days as a game show host, working a show called “whammy” (modeled on the classic “press your luck”), newton looked to Barker as a mentor. he often attended live tapings of “The price is right,” seeking to pick up bits of wisdom and inspiration from the enthusiastic host. “i’m a big believer in mentorship. i said to him, ‘please, show me how to do this. i want to do it well,’ ” and Bob took me under his wing,” newton explains. “The most important thing he ever taught me was to remember that the contestants make the show. we get to do the show every night in another city for another audience, but for a lot of the contestants, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. once i realized that, it changed my whole hosting style, and i think that’s thanks to Bob.”
did you miss out on scoring tickets to be in the Price is right live! audience on friday? don’t worry because you still can play the games made famous by the tv show. how, you ask? it’s easy! head over to the north charleston Performing arts center and fill out a registration form. registration begins at 5 p.m., three hours before show time. the registration forms of those in the audience and those not will be chosen at random just minutes before the curtain goes up. and they assure us that those in the audience will not get preferential treatment. you must be a legal u.s. resident and 18 to participate. Questions can be directed to the Pac box office. call 529-5000.
You’re the next contestant
newton arrives at the north charleston performing arts center this week on a nationwide spring-run with The price is right live! Just like on the television show, people will be chosen at random — even some not in the audience — to “come on down!” for a chance to guess the prices of showcase items, play one of 85 classic games like plinko and cliffhangers, and eventually spin the show’s iconic wheel. likewise, any prizes seen on tv are fair game at the pac, including appliances, vacation packages and even a new car. when it comes to comparing the tv and live versions of “The price is right,” newton says the “similarities are endless, and the differences are few.” “we want folks to come to the show and see what they’ve become accustomed to over the last 40 years,” he said.
Provided
The Price is Right Live! host Todd Newton The similarities boil all the way down to the name tags that attendees receive on their way through the door. “it wouldn’t be ‘The price is right’ if they didn’t get one of those yellow name tags,” he exclaims. “Those name tags are a part of americana. i’ve even been sweet-talked a time or two into letting folks have a couple extra for a grandma who couldn’t make it to the show or a husband who had to work that night.” for a chance to compete, however, folks should arrive early enough to complete a registration form outside the pac. purchasing a ticket is not required to be a contestant, but nonticketholders will be invited inside only if their name is chosen, and only for the duration of their competing time. “it doesn’t matter who you know, how long you’ve been watching the tv show, how far you drove to get there or where you’re sitting in the theater,” newton claims. “The contestants are chosen completely at random, literally moments before the curtain comes up, so everyone has an equal shot to be called down to play for these great prizes. we call four new contestants down after every game, so more people come to contestants’ row than on the tv show. we do that because we know that folks are spending their hard-
earned money to come and see us, and that means the world to us, and we want as many people to have ‘The price is right’ experience as possible.” also to that end, The price is right live! can stretch out twice as long as a typical 45-minute taping of the tv show. from beginning to end, a live performance may run anywhere between 75 and 90 minutes. “i’ve hosted 1,000 performances of The price is right live! and i can honestly say that no two shows have ever been the same,” newton said. “when i start joking with the audience and everybody’s having a good time, we roll with it, and that’s what makes the live show so much fun.”
A new car
after a month off for the holidays, newton said he’s excited to “fire up the old tour bus” and “get back out on the road and
come to south carolina.” last year’s tour was his first time traveling the country with the show, and he said he finds the tour bus life “glamorous.” “even if it was a complete and total strain on my psyche and my body, i don’t think i would notice it, because all i’ve ever wanted to do was be a game show host,” he said. “when i’m done taping a season of ‘family game night,’ i get to go on the road with The price is right and be around game show fans and experience this energy 365 days a year.” sometimes, that energy literally sweeps him off his feet. he’s been hoisted in the air and caught more than a few winners who have leaped into his arms in excitement. “i’m 6-3, 215 pounds, so i think i’m one of the bigger game show hosts around today, and i’ll tell you that i’ve been picked up and spun around and kissed by more people than just about anybody else out there,” laughs newton. “But listen, man, i open myself up to it. i love it. i want to celebrate with people. Their win is my win, and i want them to walk away with as much as possible and to never forget the night we spent together. ” That’s a good-natured attitude that newton says he acquired from the guidance of Barker and the constant wisdom of his father. “i just got an email from my dad when i was about to see some of his friends in a city where we were performing, and he reminded me to treat every show as if it’s my first and my last, because that’s how the audience sees it. i really try to go out there and live it up.” for newton, that means putting on his suit and pink tie each night — “it takes a confident man to wear that pink tie,” he jokes — and helping to channel each winning contestant’s excitement back out into the crowd, ensuring that even the folks who come just to observe or shout out prices from the audience go home satisfied.

ace’s on bridge
By BOBBY WOLFF
In today’s deal, South had no problem in driving to game once his partner raised his suit. Making game proved to be a far more challenging proposition. In the contract of four spades, I suggest that it would be the norm rather than the exception to rely on the club finesse here, but declarer can do considerably better. After the lead of the heart king is taken by the ace, declarer draws trump and exits with a second heart. The best the defenders can do is for West to win and lead a club through, realizing that declarer must have a hole in the club suit — and that if all he needed to do was set up clubs, he would not have given up a heart. Rather than waste dummy’s club jack, declarer plays low from the board and wins in hand, then leads a diamond, covering West’s card. East can take his diamond king and ace, but then has nowhere to turn. A club gives up the whole suit, while a diamond or heart lets South discard his club loser and ruff on the board.
For this line of play to succeed, all declarer needs is to find both high diamonds with East. If West has one of the top diamonds and more than one club, declarer falls back on the club finesse. Effectively, this play turns a 50-50 contract into one where you will succeed at least two times out of three.

dear abby that they are adults and able to make their own career choices. While I admire your good heart, the individuals you’re worried about may not need your assistance. dear aBBy: i want to ask your opinion about something. i work at a doughnut shop inside a college campus. i have a tip jar, and many customers are generous and share their change with me. My problem is other people who feel entitled to the money in my tip jar. There have been instances when some of them realized they were a few cents short, so they stuck their hands in my tip jar and fished out the coins they wanted. it is not out of ignorance! The jar is clearly labeled “tips — Thank you.” if i tell them they can’t take the money, they get angry. one lady screamed at me, saying i was “selfish,” and the money in the jar shouldn’t be just for me! what do you think, abby? am i too upset over a few cents? or am i right to feel robbed and stand up for myself when people do this? — doing My JoB on caMpus DEAR DOING MY JOB: I don’t blame you for feeling robbed. Your tips are meant just for you, and you have earned every penny your customers left in recognition of your good service. What these people are doing is petty theft. Some establishments avoid this problem by leaving a small container of pennies on the counter. Please suggest it to your boss. write www.dearabby. com or P.o. box 69440, los angeles, ca 90069.
