poor) for habitat. The section from the
Melbourne Causeway to the Indian Riv-
er County line registered 37 (extremely
poor) for habitat and 62 (poor) for water
quality.

“We didn’t need a report to know the
lagoon was abysmal in 2016,” Souto said.
“If we had done this 20 years ago, we
might have cut it off before things got so
bad.”

Overall, Souto said, the lagoon is
healthier in areas near inlets – where
there is tidal flushing – than in the Ba-
nana River and Mosquito Lagoon to the
north, where waters take a very long time
to turn over. Even some portions of the
south lagoon in Martin County, now be-
fouled by toxic blue-green algae, showed
fair water quality in 2016, likely owing to
the St. Lucie Inlet.

But Souto said the report suffers from
a data gap in the southernmost lagoon
because state monitoring stations were
taken off line from 2013-16.

Souto said the Marine Council’s goal is
to produce the health report card annu-
ally to see whether the lagoon is getting
better or worse, and to fill in monitoring
gaps with volunteer help from other con-
servation groups.

She said future reports should incorpo-
rate additional health indicators such as
toxins, land use changes, fish counts, and
water quality data from tributaries – not
just the lagoon itself.

Souto exhorted the gathering at the
ELC to hold elected officials accountable
for the lagoon’s health.

“Remind your city council people not
to make bad decisions and to be precau-
tionary,” she said. “This [Indian River
County] area of the lagoon is the last little
vestibule for seagrass to survive in.”

The lagoon health update is being
presented at a series of public meetings
throughout the region, including Harbor
Branch, where Souto shared her findings
last Wednesday. The study was funded by
the National Estuary Program and private
donations. 

‘African Wax Prints’: More fabulous fabrics at Funk

By Ellen Fischer | Columnist PHOTOS: BENJAMIN THACKER
[email protected]

An exhibition that runs through Dec. 15
brings the colorful print fabric beloved of West
and Central African women to the galleries of
Florida Tech’s Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts
in Melbourne.

Organized by Exhibits USA/Mid-America
Arts Alliance, “Wandering Spirit: African Wax
Prints” features myriad examples of the cloth.
Although you don’t have to sew to enjoy this
show, those for whom a fabric shop is a candy
store will take especial delight in the wealth of
fabric on display.

In addition to the samples that hang from
dowels in neat ranks throughout the exhibi-
tion, a celebratory patchwork of material cov-
ers the walls in the central part of the gallery.
Within that environment, 11 traditional dress-
es show off as many fabric designs to their best
advantage: on the womanly form.

The basic dress is a two-piece number, with
a form-fitting top and a long, straight skirt with
flared hems or side pleats that allow for ease
of movement. Rosettes, swags, ruffles and
smocking of the same material are used for
decorative effects.

The names of the patterns are as colorful
as the prints themselves. One dress features
plump hens encircled by chicks and eggs; that

Inti: Still waiting for eatery to fulfill its potential

By TIna Rondeau | Columnist Jalea Mixta.
[email protected]

When a new restaurant named Inti
opened almost a year ago just off Miracle
Mile, we thought it had the potential to
be an exciting addition to the Vero dining
scene.

Totally done in bright colors, Inti had a
cool vibe – and the menu featured intrigu-
ing dishes from a half-dozen Latin coun-
tries, something not found elsewhere in
Vero.

But while we still think this restaurant
has a great deal of potential, on a visit last
week the high points were mixed with
some disappointing lows.

The evening got off to a good start with

NORTH

CHOOSING BETWEEN LINE A AND LINE B KQ743

By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist AQ

Christopher Hitchens, an English author who lived the last 30 years of his life in the United K85
States, said, “Beautiful sentences pop into my head. Beautiful sentences that aren’t
always absolutely accurate. Then, I have to choose between the beautiful sentence and A Q 10
being absolutely accurate. It can be a difficult choice.”
WEST EAST
At the bridge table, you try to find the accurate line of play or defense. If it is also beautiful, —
that’s an added bonus, giving you a story for dinner companions and grandchildren. You ?872 96
are teaching your grandchildren to play bridge, aren’t you? 9643
?8652 ? 10 9 5 4
South is in seven spades. What should he do after West leads a low heart?
J 10 2
Yes, this is the same deal as yesterday’s. Then, though, North bid more circumspectly by
using a second dose of Blackwood to learn that two kings were missing; he stopped in six ?73
spades. Now, though, he just plunged into the grand slam. Let’s charitably assume that it
was the last board of a total-point match in which North-South had to make a grand slam SOUTH
to win.
A J 10 8 5 2
South has 11 top tricks: six spades, one heart, three diamonds and one club. He has
finesses available in each rounded suit that could generate an extra winner or two. 63

The declarer should realize that even if the heart finesse wins, he will also need the club AQ7
finesse to work. But if the club king is well placed, it gives South three tricks in that suit
and 13 in all. J4

South should win with the heart ace, draw trumps and run the club jack. Assuming it Dealer: South; Vulnerable: Both
wins, declarer plays a club to dummy’s queen, discards his last heart on the club ace
and claims. The Bidding:

SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
1 Spades Pass 4 NT Pass
5 Hearts Pass 7 Spades All Pass LEAD:
2 Hearts
