BRIDGE

BY TANNAH HIRSCH AND BOB JONES

South was Bill Pettis, from Chevy Chase, Maryland. Pettis ruffed the spade continuation at trick two before cashing the ace of clubs and then leading the queen. West correctly withheld his king while Pettis discarded dummy's remaining spade.

Declarer continued with the jack of clubs, West again not covering, and shed a diamond from dummy. East ruffed and continued with a spade, giving Pettis an unwanted ruff-sluff. South ruffed in dummy, discarding a club from hand, and paused to consider his next move.

West was known to have at least five spades and five clubs, and probably needed two diamonds to the king for there to be any hope -- ergo short hearts! Pettis led a low trump from dummy, inserting his nine when East played low! Next came a diamond to the queen, followed by ace of diamonds and a diamond ruff.

In the three-card ending, South had the ace-jack of trumps and a club opposite dummy's king of trumps and two low diamonds. East had the queen-10 of trumps and a spade. Pettis led his last club and ruffed with dummy's trump king as East shed his spade. There was now a classic trump coup when dummy led a diamond and Pettis scored up his contract. Well done!

WHAT'S FOR DINNER?

COX NEWSPAPERS

This recipe is reprinted with permission from the "Modern Irish Food" cookbook, by chef Kevin Dundon, who is perhaps best known as founder and chef of the Dunbrody Country House Hotel in Wexford, Ireland. "Because the chowder is so quick, there is no excuse not to make it, and the added beauty of it is that it requires no accompaniment other than a large chunk of bread," he writes.

Arthurstown Fish Chowder

4 tablespoons butter 1 small onion, diced 1 leek, trimmed and diced 1 small carrot, diced 1 potato, cubed 2 ounces smoked salmon, cut into julienne slices ? cup dry white wine 1? cups fish stock or water 10 ounces mixed fresh fish fillets (such as cod, haddock,

hake and salmon), skinned and cut into bite-sized pieces 12 raw Dublin bay prawns or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined 5 ounces mussels, scrubbed 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon 1 cup light cream Salt and black pepper

Heat a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the butter and, once it is foaming, tip in the onion, leek, carrot, potato and smoked salmon. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Pour the wine into the pan and allow the liquid to reduce by half.

Add the fish stock or water and bring to a simmer, then add the fresh fish and shellfish. Reduce the heat and return the pan to a simmer.

Add the tarragon and cream, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover with a lid and simmer gently for a further 2 to 3 minutes until the fish and prawns are tender and all of the mussels have opened (discard any mussels that do not).

To serve, ladle the chowder into warmed serving bowls, piling plenty of the fish and shellfish into the center of each bowl. Serve with chunks of crusty bread. Makes 6 servings.

Happy birthday for Wednesday, May 21, 2014:

This year you become more receptive to others' needs. Still, you must take even better care of yourself and honor your boundaries. If you are single, get plenty of rest now, because come midsummer, your social life could change for the better. You also will add to the potential of meeting Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, the two of you could become bogged down in a financial matter. Know that this will work out. By August, an innate sense of well-being opens up this relationship once more. Toss yourself into this fun, optimistic period. Your significant other will be relieved to find communication flowing once more. Leo adores your energy and cannot get enough of you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You might find it more difficult right now to complete any project that involves physical effort. If you allow your mind to wander, you are likely to come up with unusually dynamic ideas, though it might not be appropriate to start sharing them just yet. Tonight: Stay in.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll want to focus on some long-term goals. Expenses will be overwhelming and taxing, unless you ask someone to pitch in and help. Focus on the practical solutions that come up in a meeting. A friend might be quite distracting. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Pressure builds around someone in charge, an older relative and/or a commitment. You will feel as if you must discharge some of this energy, but you might wonder how. Take a walk, delegate and use a support system in which you can exchange ideas. Tonight: In the limelight.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Make and return calls. Touch base with a close friend who does not live close to you. Your creativity flourishes when the two of you get together. Allow your mind to wander to other places. Is it time to schedule a vacation yet? Tonight: Be around great music.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You might want to assume a more passive role. A friend has a tendency to run through your life and add a lot of chaos. Respond to someone else's ideas, yet maintain your boundaries. Make key calls later in the day. Be as direct as possible. Tonight: Dinner for two.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Defer to others, and build goodwill. Share what could be inspiring and exciting information that was passed on to you. Use caution with spending, as you could go overboard. A loved one or partner could be remote or difficult. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You might want to discuss a situation in broad terms. The problem remains that you see a situation differently from how others see it; you could become irritated as a result. This bubbling frustration will build if others do not bend in your direction. Tonight: At a favorite place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your resourcefulness will take you in a different direction. You could feel very strongly about a creative project or situation. You even might be suppressing some anger. Relate to others directly and on a one-on-one level. Tonight: Tap into your imagination when making plans.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll feel ready to deal with a difficult situation. You finally will decide to root out the problem through your intuitive senses. You refuse to believe that a solution cannot be forthcoming. Please note all the mixed messages that come your way. Tonight: Happy to be home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be forthright in how you deal with someone. Listen to feedback from a child or loved one, as this person could have a totally different perspective to offer. Funnel your energy and drive into a project that must be completed. Tonight: Hang out with your friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Use the morning just for you. You will wake up feeling unusually energized and upbeat. Charge some of your emotional energy into a project, and tap into your ingenuity. The outcome will demonstrate your unique creativity. Tonight: Indulge a little.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are emotional yet anchored. Understand what is happening with a loved one, but let this person know the implications of this behavior to you. He or she needs to understand that there are consequences for his or her actions. Tonight: Homeward bound.
