Regardless of the outcome from the
PHOTO: MITCH KLOORFAIN state meet, Robertson said that it was an
honor the team made it to that level. “You
can never take that away from them.”

“It was so impressive seeing them put
themselves on the line,” Athletic Director
Nancy Hopper said following last week-
end’s competition.

Hopper said it was a joy watching the
team compete, and hopes to see the
team return to the states in the coming
seasons.

Robertson lamented the loss of three
seniors from the team going forward –
Macon, Bienz and Taylor Pottorff. “But
the others will step up to continue the
tradition,” he said.

Also appearing at the state meet was
boys cross country runner Zach Rohr-
bough, who placed 40th out of 204 run-
ners with a time of 17:19, a personal re-
cord.

“Zach has an amazing work ethic and
plans on using this meet as a stepping
stone to something special next year,”
Robertson said.

Rohrbough’s time now stands as the
second fastest in the history of John Car-

Tear not? Fear not: Dry eye disease is very treatable

BY TOM LLOYD | Staff Writer Dr. David O’Brien.

The expression “there wasn’t a dry eye PHOTO: DENISE RITCHIE
in the house” definitely did not originate
in this part of Florida.

In fact, it might be difficult to find many
household hereabouts in which someone
isn’t suffering to some degree from dry
eye disease or dry eye syndrome.

The National Library of Medicine says
“dry eyes are one of the most frequently
encountered [eye] problems worldwide,”
and the condition affects millions of
Americans.

The condition is so common – and re-
lief so actively sought – that pharmaceu-
tical giant Allergan Pic generated nearly
$1.5 billion in revenue from its Restasis
dry eye medication last year alone.

The risk of developing dry eye in-
creases with age and, generally speaking,
women have a higher incidence of dry eye
than men.

Dr. David O’Brien, a Treasure Coast
ophthalmologist at New Vision Eye Cen-
ter who is fellowship-trained in what he
calls “diseases of the external part of the
eye,” is an expert in the treatment of dry
eye, in part because he has the condition
himself. “I have dry eye and I treat it real-
ly aggressively doing everything I ask pa-
tients to do,” O’Brien says.

Each year, 40,000 women die from breast cancers.

What if that number was 0?

WHAT IS THE DANGER; WHERE IS THE SAFETY? 72

K 10 5

By Phillip Alder K 10 7

I am confident that you have heard the line: “Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this Q J 10 7 6
flower, safety.” But from which of Shakespeare’s plays does it come?
WEST EAST
At the bridge table, part of the art of being a successful player is spotting both the
danger to your contract and the safe route around that threat. A4 3

How does that apply in this week’s deal? South is in five spades doubled, and West AQJ97632 84
leads the diamond two. What happens next?
2 98653
West might have opened four hearts, but that would have risked missing a slam if
partner had a decent hand. After East responded one no-trump, South jumped to four 85 AK943
spades, of course. Then West felt obliged to bid five hearts. However, when South SOUTH
continued with five spades, West aggressively doubled.
K Q J 10 9 8 6 5
Clearly, West’s lead is a singleton, under which East should play his three as a suit-
preference signal for clubs. (Since he has no reason to play third hand high and count in —
the suit is irrelevant, he can signal suit preference.)
AQJ4
If South immediately attacks trumps, West will win with his ace, play a club to his
partner’s king and receive a diamond ruff to defeat the contract. 2

South must cut the defensive communication lines. He takes the first trick on the board, Dealer: West; Vulnerable: East-West
leads the heart king and discards his club. He loses only one heart and one spade.
The Bidding:
I discovered that Hotspur spoke that Shakespearean line in Henry IV part 1, act 2,
scene 3. SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
