to take most of the afternoon. Then, two
days later, the District trustees will hold
a morning roundtable discussion on the
presentation at their offices across from
the hospital. That same afternoon at 5
p.m. in the County Commission cham-
bers, District trustees will finalize their
2018-2019 budget.

The Hospital District budget meeting had
originally been scheduled for Sept. 20.

By postponing that vote, the District
board will be able to decide on funding for
indigent healthcare programs after having
seen Cleveland Clinic’s proposed commit-
ment for charity care at the hospital.

If trustees are happy with Cleveland Clin-
ic’s offer and expect it to pass, they would
logically approve a lower hospital indigent
care figure, assuming Cleveland would be-
gin covering at least some portion of that
care when the deal closes.

If, on the other hand, trustees are not
happy with Cleveland’s offer and plan to
vote “no” to the partnership deal, they
would likely budget for the usual amount
for hospital indigent care – around $7.5
million.

The Hospital District levies taxes to treat
medically indigent patients – those who are
uninsured, not on Medicaid or Medicare
and earn less than 150 percent of the federal
poverty level.

If Cleveland assumes part or all of indi-
gent care costs, as it appears very likely to
do, then the District would be relieved of
that burden, and taxes could go down.” 

“To fix problems, you need to see a doctor

who specializes in certain things and we can
do that for patients where either we fix the
problem or we find someone who can.”

And then there’s the question of money –
or, more correctly, insurance.

Malave-Huertas freely admits there are of-
ten what he calls “hurdles” when dealing with
insurance companies.

“Maybe patients will have to talk to their
primary care to be referred to us,” he ex-
plains, “but we will try and see every patient.
We want to help our communities and we try
to not let insurance get in the way.”

The benefits of identifying health risks ear-
ly, Malave-Huertas says, far outweigh those
insurance “hurdles.”

“We have a really good network,”
Malave-Huertas states flatly, “and if I cannot
fix your problem, we will find someone to see
you and help you. That’s what we’re trying to

code – which there isn’t – it’d
lean toward black leather vests

anchor here, and the burly biker
band will most certainly keep
the tunes high-energy all eve-

A view to a kiln: Potters fired up for ‘Soup Bowl’

The brand-new Bailey Custom Pro 32 gas
kiln at the Vero Beach Museum of Art is hav-
ing a true baptism by fire this summer. The
kiln is being pressed into service to fire the
bulk of the roughly 1,200 soup bowls crafted
by volunteer clay artists for the 26th annual
Samaritan Center Soup Bowl, taking place
Thursday, Nov. 1.

Many of the artists say they became
hooked on pottery after taking lessons at the
Museum and enjoy the camaraderie of com-
ing back to work on their bowls en masse in
the VBMA clay studio each August and Sep-
tember. The potters catch up with one an-
other as they hunch over throwing wheels
or trim and put final designs on creations
started at home. Once the bowls are given an
initial bisque firing, they return to glaze their
pieces before the final firing.

Last year, roughly half of the bowls were
fired at artists’ home and studio kilns, as the
previous large kiln had already been retired.

VBMA pottery teacher and clay techni-
cian Peggy Thomas said they are all quite
excited about the new kiln which Sean
Clinton, VBMA faculty manager, just re-
cently installed.

Project Lifesaver: Doing wonders to safeguard wanderers

By Mary Schenkel | Staff Writer Lt. Lonnie Rich, Peggy Cunningham and Ester Rymer. PHOTOS: DENISE RITCHIE
[email protected]

The clock begins ticking from the
moment an individual suffering from
Alzheimer’s or another form of demen-
tia or brain trauma, or a child with au-
tism wanders off. Individuals with cog-
nitive brain disorders are not only more
at risk of wandering; they often live in
their own internal worlds, sometimes
unaware of their immediate surround-
ings.

Although our local law enforcement
agencies have an excellent track record
of quickly locating people who wander
off, two recent incidents have brought
the issue to the forefront. In one, disas-
ter was barely averted when a woman
with Alzheimer’s was rescued just as
she slipped beneath the water. Sadly, in
the other incident, the woman has still
not been found.

In both cases, Project Lifesaver de-
vices – watch-sized, radio-frequency
transmitter bracelets – could likely have
assisted Indian River County Sheriff’s
Office deputies in their search.

Trattoria Dario: Top-notch for food, wine and service

By TIna Rondeau | Columnist Risotto Pescatore.
[email protected]
PHOTOS BY GORDON RADFORD
In recent years, Trattoria Dario has
gained a well-deserved reputation for
consistently fine food – even while having
an unusually high turnover of executive
chefs.

The latest to preside over this South
Beach bistro’s kitchen is Chet Perrotti, who
happily seems more comfortable back pre-
paring Italian cuisine than he was across
the street at a restaurant long known for its
French fare.

But while some restaurants are very
much a creature of their chef, the man who
keeps Trattoria Dario near the top of the
island’s food pyramid is its omnipresent
proprietor, Dario Bordoli. This restaurant
is his baby.

On our most recent visit, the charming
Bordoli was, as usual, at the front door to
greet us.

closed seaside patio, we opted on this
occasion for a booth in the attractive red

Bridge declarers can be like that. They see two ways to get the tricks needed for their
contract — let’s call them line A and line B. Sometimes declarer must choose between Dealer: South; Vulnerable: Both
them; on other deals, it will be possible to succeed if either A or B works — which is
obviously preferable. The Bidding:

In this week’s deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads the club ace: two, 10, nine. SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
West continues with the club four (in case his partner has only queen-third of clubs). 2 Clubs Pass 2 Diamonds Pass
East wins with the queen, returns the club three, wins the fourth trick with his club eight 2 NT Pass 3 NT All Pass LEAD:
and shifts to a low spade. How should South try to benefit from the 4-4 club split? A Clubs

South starts with eight top tricks: one spade, three hearts and four diamonds. The
obvious chances for a ninth trick are the spade finesse working — line A, let’s say — or
the missing hearts splitting 3-3 — line B. Which would a mathematician recommend?

A finesse is theoretically a 50-50 shot, but a 3-3 break happens only approximately one
time in three. So, the finesse is the better percentage.

This means that South, after discarding the spade four at trick three, should pitch the heart
five at trick four and bank everything on the spade finesse, which, of course, works!
