To the residents of Martin and
St. Lucie Counties:

For nearly 80 years, we’ve been dedicated to improving the health and well-being of our community. Now we’re taking the
next step to elevate our care for the Treasure Coast today and tomorrow.
We are pleased to announce that Martin Health System has become part of the Cleveland Clinic health system, bringing
world class care to Martin and St. Lucie Counties.
We are committed to growth in today’s changing healthcare environment. Together, with Cleveland Clinic, we will explore
new ways to collaboratively integrate and share best practices.
You will continue to be able to see the physicians and providers who have cared for you for years. Cleveland Clinic is known
for its “Patients First” approach, with a focus on expanding clinical services to the communities we serve.
Cleveland Clinic will continue to support many of the non-profit organizations we have worked with through the years.
You will see investments in clinical services throughout our region and together we plan to strengthen and improve access
to high quality healthcare.
The benefits of this relationship have already been felt by many of our heart and vascular patients. In early 2018,
Martin Health partnered with Cleveland Clinic’s Heart and Vascular Institute, ranked the #1 heart program in the nation
according to U.S. News & World Report, to provide an even better level of care. The result was a great success in both
patient outcomes and an improved experience.
We look forward to combining our expertise with Cleveland Clinic’s to enhance our services and work collaboratively with
physicians and providers to improve the health of the communities we serve.
We will continue to update you on new developments as this transition takes place.
On behalf of Cleveland Clinic and Martin Health, thank you for the opportunity to continue to serve the healthcare needs of
Martin and St. Lucie Counties.
We look forward to the future together.

The theater, which went by various
names over the years, closed its doors in
June 1985 with a showing of “Desperately
Seeking Susan.”

“The theater is part of the history of In-

decided to do a documentary has been
nice, especially since this next year is our
centennial year and that’s very much a
part of the history,” says Brackett. “It’s im-

good old buildings in order to put up new
ones that are not as good. We have become
a throw-away society.”

Metz, who attended Vero Beach High
School, says his decision to make the film
stemmed from his family’s connections to
the theater. His maternal great-grandfather,
Hudson Baker, built the theater along with
many of the first buildings in Vero Beach.

VISUALIZATION IS A VISUAL ART WEST NORTH EAST
62 954 K Q J 10 3
By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist 10 8 4 3 K72 Q96
52 A Q 10 8 KJ7
Robert L. Schwartz, a prominent lawyer, said, “The entrepreneur is essentially a visualizer 97542 Q63 10 8
and an actualizer. He can visualize something, and when he visualizes it, he sees exactly how
to make it happen.” SOUTH

The other day, one of my students said to me, “You can visualize where the cards are. I find AJ5
that impossible to do.” 9643
AKJ
It is true — mentally seeing the cards in an opponent’s hand makes it easier to visualize how
the play will proceed. In this deal, it was not hard for South to see where the missing honor Dealer: West; Vulnerable: East-West
cards lay, but East could have set a small trap for declarer.
The Bidding:
South was in three no-trump. How should he have played after West led the spade six?
SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
Declarer began with seven top tricks: one spade, two hearts, one diamond and three clubs. 1 NT Pass 3 NT 1 Spades
Given that only 12 high-card points were missing — you did count those, didn’t you? — the All Pass LEAD:
heart finesse was clearly winning. If a second diamond winner could be found, perhaps by 6 Spades
endplaying East, then the contract would succeed.

South ducked the first spade trick and took the second, seeing that West began with a
doubleton. Declarer cashed his three club winners, and East discarded the diamond seven.
Then, after taking three heart tricks with the aid of the finesse, South led his last spade. East
took three winners in the suit, but at Trick 12 had to lead away from the diamond king-jack
into dummy’s ace-queen.

East should have thrown the diamond jack, not the seven, trying to look like someone who
began with 5-4-2-2 distribution. It probably wouldn’t have worked, but it was worth a try.
