But there is some new construction in the

said of the stormwater treatment area at the

“We have in this budget a three-tier foun-
tain that’ll send water 25 feet in the air.”
The district is working with the City of
Port St. Lucie to make Lake Harvey into
a passive-use park. The district’s charter
doesn’t allow it to build or run recreational
facilities. “We can’t spend money on the rec-
reational side,” Pickle said. “That’s up to the
city. But we can put in money for the foun-
tain, because it’s helping water quality in
Lake Harvey.”
The proposed budget will be presented
to board again by late summer. It’ll have
two hearings before final adoption. The new
fiscal year starts in September. The board’s
meetings are public. 

When South opens one heart, North’s hand greatly increases in value. It contains four
short-suit points (one in spades and three in diamonds) and has only five losers because Dealer: South; Vulnerable: North-South
you deduct one loser for a 10-card or better fit. South then uses his preferred form of

Declarer has a potential loser in each rounded suit. Taking the trump suit in isolation, the 5 NT Pass 6 Diamonds Pass 3 Spades
percentage play for no losers is to cash the ace. But that is wrong with these hands. The 6 Hearts Pass Pass Pass
right line is to take both spade tricks and the diamond ace before ruffing the diamond seven
on the board. Then South should call for the heart queen (to encourage East to cover with
he king) and, assuming East plays low smoothly, to run the queen.

Here, the finesse wins and declarer is playing for an overtrick. But suppose West could
scoop up the trick with the singleton heart king. He would be endplayed, forced either to
lead into South’s club tenace or to concede a ruff-and-sluff. Whichever he chooses, declarer
will lose no club trick.
