“You have changed my life, and
for that I am so thankful!”

Dear Joe,

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for making such a

difference in my life and hearing. After losing most of my hearing in

2008 after my chemo, I never expected I would hear as good as I do

now.

Yes, I have had other hearing aids that I thought were good, but

nothing compares to the hearing aids I have now. By your expertise,

you were able to get the best hearing aid for my hearing loss. I feel

like I can talk to people and know that I will be able to hear what they

have to say to me. And, for the first time since their birth, I can hear my

grandkid’s real voices and my wife’s voice the way I used to hear. Randy & Donna Childress
Bailee Mutter was so helpful coordinating with our insurance company.

She did a wonderful job and so very caring.

You have changed my life and for that I am so thankful. My wife also wanted to thank you. She said

your office was the answer to her prayers!

Sincerely, Randy C.

– Father’s Day – there’s a free
open-air concert on Stuart’s
beautiful Riverwalk, brought
to you by the Downtown Busi-

event features live music, and
all sorts of food, beverages and
conviviality on one of the pret-
tiest riverside venues around.
This Sunday the music will be
provided by OPM, a five-piece
classic rock band that played
the City of Stuart’s Rockin’ Riv-
erwalk Inaugural Concert event
back in ’09 to 400-plus fans.
Both the event and the band
have remained crowd-pleas-
ers. To make parking easy, park
at Osceola, Sailfish, or Kiwanis
Park and ride the free Sailfish
Shuttle to the Riverwalk fun,
which starts at 1 p.m.

In this week’s deal, how should the auction go after South opens one club, and North
responds one heart? If South gets to the elevated level of six spades, how should he Dealer: South; Vulnerable: East-West
play after West starts with the ace and another diamond?
The Bidding:
South, despite his heart singleton, should rebid two spades. With 19 high-card points,
he must force. Then North should either raise to three spades (which is stronger than SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING

North would control-bid four hearts, and the contract would be either six spades or (if A Diamonds
North-South use Roman Key Card Blackwood) perhaps only five spades when South
learns a key card (an ace or the spade king) and the spade queen are missing.

In six spades, South should not be influenced by West’s lead into thinking that he has
the spade queen. West’s lead is normal after any sensible sequence. The percentage
play is to finesse spades through East because declarer can pick up queen-fourth. Win
trick two with the diamond queen, cash the spade king, play a spade to the jack and,
assuming the finesse wins and West follows suit, draw the last trump and claim.
