One of the most profound people I’ve ever come into contact with is Marianne Williamson. Her book “A Return to Love” is a marvel. There are so many passages of truth in her words. I definitely recommend it for those seeking guidance, or looking to respark their inner light. I saw Marianne speak a few weeks ago at an event held by the Sophia Institute. The room was full of like-minded people, seeking and remembering their truth. Marianne was warm, honest, confident and inspiring. The path she was talking about is a necessary one. Take this, from her latest book, “A Course in Weight Loss“: “You are here to love and be loved, and the soul in its native intelligence knows this. Accept the magnitude of your function, and your reignited spiritual intelligence will spark your body’s intelligence as well. As your mind remembers its natural function, the cells of your body will remember theirs. You will no longer be at the effect of your compulsion. You will become a master at living your life.”

Jenny Harris prepares to compete in the Women’s Longboard Competition during last year’s Folly Beach Wahine Classic. Also Sunday is the “push ’n’ surf” for the surfers of the future. Registration is still open for the contest, which is 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Fees are $35 for the first event entered and $10 for each additional one. Proceeds will benefit Surfer’s Healing, a surfing camp held in August on Folly for autistic children. For registration and contact information, go to www.follybeachwahine.com.
Awendaw time trials
Saturday offers a rare opportunity for cyclists and triathletes to compete in an individual time trial, namely the S.C. State Time Trial Championship in Awendaw. A time trial, aka “The Race of Truth,” is a road bicycle race in which cyclists are sent off individually at timed intervals and race alone against the clock. The time trial is based on each rider’s strength and endurance, not drafting off other

riders to strategically saving energy. And while triathletes technically race time-trial style, they rarely ride completely solo for most of a bike portion of a triathlon. The championship in Awendaw will be 40K, or just under 25 miles, on Seewee and Doar roads in Awendaw, starting at 9 a.m. The race fee is $30 for adults and $15 for juniors, ages 10-18, not including a USA Cycling Road license.
Until last year, the first of the Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series races started on Father’s Day every summer. The popularity of the event, however, warranted one in May. Still, the tie between the series and Father’s Day continues Sunday morning. The triathlon, which includes a 600-yard lake swim, 12.8-mile bike and a 3.1-mile run, is dedicated to Huger Sinkler, who attended almost every CSTS triathlon in support of one of the event’s top female competitors, Cal Sinkler. In April, Huger Sinkler passed away. In his “From the Tent” blog, race Director Paul King said: “Like many of our spectators, his enthusiasm and friendliness was contagious. ... To have known and loved him is something we treasure; his adoration of Cal and his pride in his daughter’s accomplishments is a lasting tribute to a dad and his loving child.” For more on Sinkler and Sunday’s race, go to http:// charlestonsprint.blogspot. com.

T
en years ago, two young female surfers, Kelly Kane and Katie Coryell, started the Folly Beach Wahine Surf Classic, a female-only surfing competition, in an effort to foster participation in the sport among girls and women. A decade later, few would argue that females make up a larger percentage of those hitting the waves on Folly and the Isle of Palms. “I think it (the contest) has definitely worked beyond expectations,” says longtime surfing organizer Nancy Hussey, co-director of this weekend’s Wahine Classic. “We’ve made a name for ourselves with this contest.” By holding a friendly, unintimidating competition, Hussey says females of all ages who are interested in surfing get to meet each other, start friendships, learn from each other and have an opportunity to reunite every year.
Among them is East Coast female surfing legend Mimi Munro, who first made a name for herself in the 1960s. The Florida-based Munro is returning to this year’s contest, along with her daughter and granddaughter, not only to compete but to help foster the sport she has loved all her life. Also coming back, all the way from Argentina, is Moira Gil, who used to be a regular on the Folly Beach surfing scene. While this contest is about “girl power,” as Hussey notes, the contest understandably gets a great deal of support from male surfers. Among the array of surfing contests held every year in the Charleston area, Hussey says Wahine is eclipsed in anticipation only by the Governor’s Cup of Surfing, which is the state championship contest, in August. Of special note for the 10th Folly Beach Wahine Classic (the event was not held in 2007) is a new contest for stand-up paddleboarding and a celebration of the Surfrider Foundation’s “International Surfing Day” on Sunday, which will include beach games such as volleyball, corn hole and limbo.

Shedding some light on ’Green Lantern’
BY FRANK LOVECE
Newsday
U
ltimately, there is just one Superman, just one Batman, just one Wonder Woman. But there are countless Green Lanterns within DC Comics’ fictional universe, and at least five have starred in comic books and animated TV series. When the live-action “Green Lantern,” starring Ryan Reynolds, opens Friday, moviegoers could be forgiven if they wonder, “Green who? Lantern what?” The answer, in the movie’s case, is Hal Jordan, the second and most prominent character of that name. Created in 1959, a pure product of the Space Age, he was a test pilot in the day of the right stuff. When he went to help a crash-landed alien, the dying extraterrestrial bequeathed him a “power ring” that could create objects out of one’s imagination, and a lantern-shaped device for charging it. Protecting this sector of the universe as part of the intergalactic Green Lantern Corps came as part of the deal. “All pop culture has to reflect what’s going on in the world or it won’t be very popular,” says Ken Gale, producer-host of the longrunning WBAI-FM’s comicbook radio show “’Nuff Said.” “This Green Lantern arrived after Sputnik but before the Mercury space flights,” Gale notes, “when test pilots were considered the bravest people around.” Writer John Broome and penciler Gil Kane introduced this second Green Lantern in the tryout title “Showcase” No. 22-24 (cover-dated October 1959-February 1960). At the behest of legendary comics editor Julius Schwartz, they took the name, the ring, the lantern and little else from the original Green Lantern,
WARNER BROS./MCT
Ryan Reynolds is the title role in the new action adventure film “Green Lantern.” The film opens Friday. Alan Scott, created in 1940 during the “Golden Age of Comic Books” by writer Bill Finger and artist/characterconceptualist Martin Nodell (who lived in Huntington from 1941 to 1943 and drew “Green Lantern” through 1947). The 1959 “Silver Age” Green Lantern got his own series, “Green Lantern” Vol. 2, the following year. And while the writing in his beautifully drawn stories might be charitably described as “child-friendly,” Jordan himself was a fully functioning grown-up, as were many aspects of the feature. Unusually, Jordan’s boss at Ferris Aircraft was a woman, manager Carol Ferris (played by Blake Lively in the movie). Her father may have owned the company, but she was Ivanka Trumpsavvy in business and a modern woman who didn’t need rescuing. Unlike Lois Lane at the time, who pined in vain for Superman, Ferris would go on dates with Green Lantern. When the superhero expresses doubts about their romance because he always has to dash off, the sensible Ferris tells him he’s no dif-
ferent from a doctor on call. The comic also rejected the ethnic stereotypes used for some sidekicks in early comics. True, Hal Jordan’s mechanic was an Inuit unfortunately called “Pieface” from an existing term for “a person with a round face and a blank ... expression,” according to the 1960 edition of “The Dictionary of American Slang.” Yet Thomas Kalmaku, as he was formally named, was Jordan’s smart, capable and always respectfully depicted best friend, eventually becoming a business executive and more. As played by Taika Waititi in the film, he’s an aerospace engineer. Other Green Lanterns followed. Guy Gardner was introduced in “Green Lantern” Vol. 2, No. 59 (March 1968) as Jordan’s backup. When Gardner was injured in issue No. 87 (January 1972), architect John Stewart replaced him, becoming DC’s second African-American superhero after writerartist Jack Kirby’s Army Sgt. Willie Walker, aka Black Racer. Gardner and Stewart both eventually became fullfledged Lanterns. Neither are characters in
the new film. Nor is Kyle Rayner, the most recent of Earth’s Green Lanterns, a 20-something, half-Hispanic freelance artist introduced in “Green Lantern” Vol. 3, No. 48 (January 1994). He replaced Hal Jordan when Jordan became infected with the alien entity Parallax and became a mass murderer, killing the rest of the Corps. Not to worry, death is impermanent in comics, and Jordan atoned for his temporary insanity by sacrificing himself to reignite Earth’s dead sun in “The Final Night” No. 4 (November 1996). Then, he became the supernatural spirit of vengeance/redemption, the Spectre, and now he’s back. So is the rest of the Corps, including the aliens Kilowog and Tomar-Re (rendered by CGI in the film and voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan and Geoffrey Rush, respectively). Whether Green Lantern will be back in another movie obviously depends on the fortunes of this one. But in the comics at least, to paraphrase a line from the most prominent of the Green Lantern oaths, it’s likely that no evil shall escape his sight for many years to come.

‘Winter in Wartime’ a heart-breaking WWII tale The Orlando Sentinel
A
minute the Germans are cruel and callous, the next minute compassionate and considerate. We also aren’t given enough doubts about the mayor/father’s true motives and character. And side stories — are they hiding Jews in his house? Are the neighbors? — are left unexplored and unexplained. But it’s a sturdy World War II yarn, with harrowing and heart-breaking moments sprinkled throughout. The look of the movie is pristine. “Winter in Wartime” begins rather better than it ends, contrivances pile up like wooden Dutch shoes in the third act. But it’s still a most involving and touching coming-of-age tale set in a time and place when childhood was a luxury few families or nations could afford.

I
n the spring of 2010. Amalfi’s Italian restaurant on Spring Street was closed due to a fire. If there was an upside to this (no one was injured and the firewall protected the hotel guests of the Best Western to which it was connected) it was that they not only planned to rebuild, but also to open a second location in Mount Pleasant in the Belle Hall Shopping Center. What happened though was the Spring Street property is now available and the fall opening of the East Cooper location dragged on and on. The challenge was that the footprint for the restaurant, pizzeria and sit-down space began to shrink, and the number of “covers” — restaurant speak for dinners served — marginalized their profits. So they added an upstairs with three booths, a few tables and a banquette that provides flexible seating for large parties. Downstairs, there are five booths and a table for four. The space is small, and the staff has the ultimate “Stairmaster” as they must go up and down to serve the mezzanine. The menu remains much the same as the former downtown location. Lunch specials are a wallet-friendly $6.95-$7.25, and salads and soups are offered with bread and a beverage for $4.25$6.95. Amalfi’s shines with its sandwiches — plush eggplant Parmigiana ($5.75); a robust cheese steak sub with onions, peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes ($5.75); and fresh salads topped with tuna, shrimp or salmon ($5.95-$6.95). Each order is accompanied by a basket of house-baked bread and seasoned olive oil. Pizza specials also are featured, and the value equation earns

high marks. Your dollar is strengthened here. There is also a children’s menu priced at $4.50. Beverages are limited to soft drinks, beer, wine, coffee and tea. Amalfi’s is an old-school Italian restaurant. This is the cooking of the red sauce nation: those who left Southern Italy for the stoves of New York and New Jersey and opened restaurants with raffia-encrusted Chianti bottles holding candles that burned in the colors of the rainbow. Tables are topped with red-checked cloths and the favorites sons of Italy — Dino, Francis, Perry and Mario — piped in over their sound systems. This was the cooking of their grandmothers providing the comfort of the familiar flavors — garlic, oregano, tomatoes, Pecorino, and fruity olive oil. This is not modern Italian cooking. Here, you will not find crudo, piccolini or enoteca. Here, the ravioli are plump with meat or ricotta, not a gently poached egg
yolk. The pastas are served in trencherman portions; not as a primi as they would be in the mother country. Here, you will not find cortecce or fonduta but Alfredos, Parmigiana, Marsalas, zitis, shells, lasagna and “manigott.” These are both the peasant dishes of the Italian southern landscape and the menu of Sunday that Nonna provided, and both you and the table groaned with antipasto, pasta, meat, salads, vegetables, cheeses, fruits, nuts and bread. Entrees are served with your choice of soup or salad, a side of bread and pasta if appropriate. The appetizers are weak in that they do not follow any Italian tradition and do not lend themselves to building a meal around them. Bruschetta ($4.95) may be your best bet, or fried calamari ($5.50). We began with pie — pizza ($1.75 slice), that is — and found the cheese very flavorful, but there was too much of it. The sauce was on the sweet side, and the crust limp
The steady hand of the kitchen staff was a bit rocky. To their credit, they offer a fresh tomato sauce made with cherry tomatoes ($9.75), Roman carbonara ($9.75), vegetarian Stromboli ($6.75) and egetarian pasta sauce ($9.75). Their smartly priced menu at lunch and dinner is welcome in our new economy. Tiramisu ($4) is made in-house, and the cannoli (two for $4) would be at home in a pasticceria. Youthful servers are charged with friendly energy and are well-schooled in the menu. The feel of the place is a little soulless. Random tchotchkes of the Southern Italian decorating canon decorate the walls. I think we are so over plastic grapes and cornucopias. That being said, this Phoenix of Spring Street can rise from the ashes of its culinary missteps and ultimately deliver Italian food freighted with amore.

saw the future of jazz in Charleston on Monday before last. It was at McCrady’s Restaurant at a concert in the annual spring series put on by Jazz Artists of Charleston. I had come over to the restaurant after covering the Spoleto Festival concert by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, a real tour de force, for the second show in the JAC series that night. I knew it would be good. And I was right, even coming on the heels of Bela’s impressive showing. The band at McCrady’s was Tenor Madness, a boutique ensemble performing only its fourth concert ever, all at the last four JAC spring series. It’s a concept put together by tenorists Mark Sterbank and Robert Lewis that features straight-ahead, progressive jazz music in the tradition of masters John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. There’s nothing like it in town these days and I look forward to it every year since it started in 2008. Hardly anybody plays this kind of music anymore. It’s difficult and calls for a mastery of the jazz vocabulary not much in use now. Vintage stuff. The drummer was David Patterson, a 20-something wunderkind who’s the kid in the band. All the other guys are grizzled veterans who’ve been fighting the jazz wars for decades. Patterson’s experienced, but he’s just starting, compared to them. He graduated from West Ashley High School in 2001 and studied jazz performance at C of C from 2002 to 2006. He’s also worked with the gospel group Integrity, Charleston Stage Company, Unkle Funkle and the Mickey Baker Project. His work that night was

Cowboy Mouth plays two shows at The Windjammer
Greensky Bluegrass melds traditional with original for unique approach to genre BY CAITLIN O’DONNELL

S
imilar to its name, Greensky Bluegrass doesn’t play by the
rules Though a bluegrass band, the five-piece group, originating in Michigan in 2000, doesn’t abide by the labels and expectations typically placed on their genre, insists mandolin player Paul Hoffman. Instead, the band follows its own inklings to create music founded in traditional instrumentation and style, yet presented in an original way. About a decade ago, Hoffman met banjo player Mike Bont and guitarist Dave Bruzza. and the trio began performing at open mike nights around their home state. Bassist Mike Devol joined the group in 2004, around the time the members first began performing out of the state, and dobro player Anders Beck followed in 2008. “We’re all such great friends, like brothers,” Hoffman said. “We try to focus on having fun when we play shows. We remember that people hear our shows because they want to hear good music and have a good time.” The band first broke onto the bluegrass scene after winning the 2006 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Contest in Colorado. Though already touring at the time, Hoffman said the contest gave the group the momentum it needed to perform throughout the country. Now playing more than 170 shows a year, the band

makes an effort to ensure each performance is different, Hoffman said. The real challenge comes when the group tries to reconcile its unusual musical tastes with the established style of bluegrass for their fans. “There’s so much traditional music associated with it that a lot of fans of bluegrass have expectations for what songs they’re going to hear and the ways they are supposed to be played,” Hoffman said. “We tend to break those rules.” According to Hoffman a rock-’n’-roll attitude might best label their style, which fans typically embrace, even if “Rocky Top” is replaced with a Bruce Springsteen ballad. When it comes to its original music, the group strives to mesh personal ideas with the traditional instruments and techniques of bluegrass for what Hoffman calls a “mishmash.” “It’s hard to define if it’s bluegrass, Americana or rock ’n’ roll; it’s just kind of Greensky,” he said. “We all listen to such different music that unique influences come in. We take melodic and rhythmic ideas
MUSICAL EARTH
Greensky Bluegrass is coming to town fresh off a gig at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn. from other types of music to make our original music more interesting.” Since its premier album in 2004, “Less Than Supper,” the band has released five other albums, including two live recordings intended to capture the spirit of their performances often lost in the studio. This summer, they are set to release their newest studio album, “Handguns,” though the official date is pending. Having established success in numerous markets around the country, Hoffman said the band is looking to transition to other venues to display their style. But even with big plans, Hoffman said what he still enjoys most is the process of crafting music with his band. “When I write a song, I have an idea for where it can go, but I can’t do it by myself,” Hoffman said. “I am often amazed at where it goes and how it becomes distinctively Greensky Bluegrass.”
Fred LeBlanc and John Thomas Griffith started making music together 21 years ago. Since then, there have been several musicians hopping on and off the high-speed train that is Cowboy Mouth, but LeBlanc and Griffith have been aboard every mile of the two decade journey. Considered to be New Orleans’ rock saviors by many critics, Cowboy Mouth has performed more than 2,500 shows throughout its career and built a reputation as one of the best live rock acts still touring.

Flavor of the Caribbean
Three-day Carifest celebrates colorful culture with masquerade, parade and more BY SYDNEY SMITH
Special to The Post and Courier
T
his weekend is the sixth annual Carifest festival in Charleston. From Thursday to Saturday, the festival seeks to educate participants on Caribbean culture, celebrate Carnival and have fun along the way. The festival is organized and backed by S.C. Caribbean Culture and Heritage Inc. Lorna Shelton-Beck, who is from Jamaica, started the group and created Carifest after Congress in 2006 declared June as CaribbeanAmerican Heritage Month. Carifest’s purposes include fun, of course, but also education and culture. “It’s not just about having a big party. It’s really about getting people together and sharing their cultures and history and learning from each other,” Carifest symposium moderator Lisa Randle says. Between Friday’s masquerade party and Saturday’s parade, there’s tons of room for fun.

Dancers are shown making their way to Brittlebank Park near the end of 2008’s Charleston Carifest.
Over the years, the components of Carifest have been tweaked, as events such as the masquerade were added in 2010. The festival highlights a specific Caribbean island, another aspect of Carifest that changes each year. This year, the Dominican Republic is featured. Past years have promoted St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia and Barbados, among others. Randle said she, like Shelton-Beck, hopes that “people get a better understanding of the different islands and understanding how that culture is blended into the culture here, especially in Charleston.” By featuring one island,
“we want to show the similarities and the cultural differences among the islands,” according to Shelton-Beck. The end goal is that participants learn more about the island and its culture, and perhaps even visit. It is “important for us to incorporate the educational element, so people know we’re not just fun and games,” she says, adding that Carifest incorporates traditions from Carnival, the Caribbean and Africa. Much of Carifest’s educational aspect can be found in Thursday’s symposium at the College of Charleston’s Avery Institute.

Simmons’ talk on identity will focus on how Dominicans identify themselves, specifically by skin color, and the “idea of mixture.” “Race identity is changing in the Dominican Republic,” according to Simmons, who lived there for four years and considers it her “second home.” Her presentation will be based on her 2009 book about racial identity, “Reconstructing Racial Identity and the African Past in the Please see CARIFEST, Page 21E
Symposium
Thursday’s three-hour free symposium will feature two talks on identity in the Dominican Republic starting at 6 p.m. Randle describes the symposium, which has been a part of the event since 2009, as a “way to get people to come together and talk about their commonality.” While attendance at 2009’s symposium was small, last year’s symposium brought about 80 people, according to Randle. Symposium speakers are Dr. Kimberly Simmons, a University of South Carolina professor who specializes in identity and African-American studies, and Monika Ponton-Arrington, who is the Southeast representative for the United Confederation of Taino People. Simmons and Ponton-Arrington will each have presentations lasting 15 to 20 minutes followed by a Q & A session and a small reception, Randle says. Food featured at the reception will be traditional Dominican fare, such as the national dish sancocho, which is similar to gumbo; Dominican potato fritters;

Dominican Republic.” She adds that African history in the Dominican Republic is “coming to the surface” lately. Ponton-Arrington will share stories and information about Taino culture, including dances, cooking and dress. Some traditional Taino meals include the heavy use of “tubular root vegetables” and fish, tropical fruits such as mangoes and oranges, she says. She explains that the Taino, who live on islands, including Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, are “the ones Christopher Columbus came upon first in the Caribbean islands when he was supposedly going to discover the New World.” The Taino organization she represents is a commonwealth and “the umbrella for the Taino people in the U.S. as well as Puerto Rico and the Caribbean islands.” At the symposium, Ponton-Arrington hopes to “get the message out that the Taino people are not extinct.” She estimates there are about 2,000 to 3,000 Tainos in the Southeast alone. Other misconceptions about the Taino, Ponton-Arrington says, include that they are “uneducated savages” and that they don’t have their own language. Numerous Taino words have been adopted into English, according to Ponton-Arrington, including canoe, hurricane, hammock and maracas.

The Brittlebank Park celebration will feature craft booths, food, dancing and lots of music. She says there will be a variety of Caribbean and Spanish music such as soca, steel band, reggae and salsa. Shelton-Beck describes the celebration as the “piece de resistance” and says that besides performances by steel band, cultural dancers and a soca artist from Trinidad, DJ Luigi, will be there.

might not know: The hat’s origins actually come from Ecuador. I’ve found some classic styles on eBay, but locally J. Crew sells the straw hat in either white or natural. Another favorite thing I’m loving for summer is blue nail polish. It’s surprisingly complimentary to the tropical hues of summer dresses and tops. Deborah Lippman’s “I Know What Boys Like” (Blue Mercury at 255 King St. carries the line) and Essie’s “Barbados Blue” are current favorites. Perfectly tousled beach hair is on my list of favorite things, and it’s easy to
achieve with Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray (found at Stella Nova, 292 King St.) or you can just fill up a spray bottle with ocean water, which won’t cost you a thing. The shop Out of Hand (113 Pitt St.) in the Old Village of Mount Pleasant makes the list just for the fact that the interior is so cool and inviting on a hot summer day. Plus, they stock unusual items you won’t find anywhere else and carry the cutest clothes. Another favorite of mine for summer is a long, floorgrazing skirt. For a casual look, I like it with a tank top (tucked in), bangles, flat sandals, a straw tote bag and, of course, a Panama hat. Other things on my list include the book “Parisian Chic” by French fashion icon Ines de la Fressange; fresh herbs bought at the Charleston Farmers Market on Marion Square; the blog “This is Naive”; orange sherbet; the bossa nova album

ecently, a co-worker of mine admitted she’d never seen “The Sound of Music.” I think my mouth probably dropped open in shock. Along with “The Wizard of Oz,” I’ve seen that movie literally dozens of times and know every song by heart. Over Memorial Day weekend, I found a copy of the soundtrack on vinyl for a dollar which, considering how much I love the movie, I obviously couldn’t pass up. Listening to Maria sing “My Favorite Things,” I was inspired to come up with my own list of things I love (although it’s really hard to top whiskers on kittens). One of my newest favorite things is a Panama hat. As much as I’ve loved the fedora in summers past, the trend has definitely reached its expiration date. With a wider brim that provides ample coverage from the sun, a Panama hat seems like a fresher option this season. And here’s a fun fact you

hings tend to quiet down a bit after all the Spoleto and Piccolo madness, but Francina Smalls-Joyner is doing just the opposite. Having worked for the Office of Cultural Affairs for 15 years, she knows all about how busy things are this time of year. The office is the main organizer for the Piccolo Festival and SmallsJoyner certainly does her part. This June, however, there is a bit more of a focus on her personal work. Friday will be the opening of her show of oil paintings called “Abstract Painting 101: An Introduction to Francina.” She grew up on historic St. Helena Island, one of the Sea Islands near Beaufort that is packed with interesting folk fables, dialects and characters. It is from here that SmallsJoyner says she cultivated her roots and strong spirituality. She credits her upbringing in such a place for much of her inspiration. The artist says this body of work “signifies a stage of my life, where I am most happy, most spiritual and most blessed.”

We all suspect that the true expert will always follow a line that results in a squeeze rather than take the pedestrian 50 percent chance. Certainly, a good player will know when an a priori 5050 chance has been reduced by the bidding or play to a much less attractive probability. Consider the play in today’s six spades on a heart lead. (By th way, North’s jump to five spades asked his partner to bid slam with a heart control. Declarer puts in the jack, losing to the king (and yes, if East intends to shift, he should win the first trick with a deceptive heart ace). East duly switches to the diamond 10 at trick two. Declarer wins dummy’s king, cashes the top spades, then takes the two remaining high diamonds. This discloses that East began with two diamonds and one spade, and since West would have led the top of a doubleton heart, that East has six hearts. So East began with four clubs and West has just two clubs, making the club finesse irrelevant. Declarer now simply plays off two more trumps, pitching clubs from the table to reduce to a four-card ending. East is down to the guarded heart king and three clubs. If he throws a heart away, declarer cashes the club king, ruffs a heart, and dummy is high. If he pitches a club, declarer takes both top clubs and ruffs a heart to score his club jack at trick 13.
