“My original decision forbidding her Last week, Pegg was swayed to allow
Jaynes to remove the GPS device, despite
concerns by Assistant State Attorney Lev
Evans that Jaynes could be a flight risk.

Evans said that despite Pegg’s orders,
it appeared Jaynes was still involved with
Absolute Integrated Medicine’s day-to-
day operations.

Jaynes is also still listed as the business
owner.

“We’re concerned that the clinic is still
open and active,” Evans said. “Our con-
cern is that she’s still doing that. But law
enforcement has told us that they don’t
have the resources to watch her.”

Attorney Brooke Butler, who is repre-
senting Jaynes, did not address Evans’ al-
legations. She argued that it was unfair to
prevent Jaynes from working while her
case is still pending.

“It’s undue process,” Butler told Pegg.
“Right now, she’s innocent. She’s aban-
doning everything she’s ever known all
her life.”

Butler said news articles published by
Vero Beach 32963 prompted the State
Department of Health to recently launch
an investigation into Jaynes’ business
actions and Absolute Integrated Medi-
cine.

She suggested the court allow the
health department to determine if
Jaynes’ license should be suspended and
her if clinic should be shut down.

“DOH can shut the business down
immediately if they find it unsafe or dis-
cover any other problems,” Butler said.
“They’ve been investigating and hav-
en’t come in and suspended anybody’s
license. There’s nothing in this case; it’s
about billing practices. It’s not up to you
or the state attorney to decide whether
she can practice.”

Assistant state attorney Evans and ul-
timately Judge Pegg disagreed.

Evans argued that the charges against
Jaynes aren’t just about billing proce-
dures and said the acupuncturist is ac-
cused of being involved in a criminal
enterprise that hurt many residents and
businesses.

Evans pointed out that Jaynes earlier
agreed to the conditions in order to get
her bond amount lowered. She shouldn’t
be allowed to return now and ask for
all those conditions to be discarded, he
added. 

‘Made in Germany’: Museum revels in Rubell collection

By Ellen Fischer | Columnist Anna and Brady Roberts with Mera and Don Rubell. PHOTOS: DENISE RITCHIE
[email protected]

The latest offering atVero Beach Museum of
Art fills three of its exhibition spaces, the Stark
Rotunda and the Holmes and Titelman galler-
ies, with an impressive show the likes of which
has not been seen before in this city.

That is because “Made in Germany: Art
since 1980” was curated by VBMA director
Brady Roberts from the famous Rubell Fam-
ily Collection of Miami. Comprising mainly
paintings – several of them of ambitious size
– photographic print, and four sculptures, the
exhibition is a look at the art of Germany from
just before the fall of the Berlin wall to the first
decade of the present century. Because it is on
view through Jan. 6, 2019, there is no excuse for
not catching this exhibition.

When Roberts was chief curator at the
Milwaukee Museum of Art, he worked with
collectors Don and Mera Rubell to bring a
portion of their 7,500-piece collection to that
institution. The Rubells began collecting art
– specifically, cutting-edge works by emerg-
ing artists – in New York City in the 1960s.
Since 1993 they have shared exhibitions from
their vast holdings with the public in a large
building they own in Miami’s Wynwood busi-
ness district. Next year the couple will move
the collection from its present location to a 2

In this week’s deal, South had to overcome not only mirror distribution but also a bad

When the dummy came down, declarer noticed that the mirror distribution seemed 3 Spades 3 Hearts Pass Pass

led the spade jack (tempting East to cover if he had all three missing trumps) and was
unpleasantly surprised to see East throw a club (playing black on black).

Now declarer had only one chance: To find West with 3-7-2-1 distribution. South drew
two rounds of trumps, took his minor-suit winners, then led the heart jack. West won,
cashed the spade queen and, perforce, played a heart. Declarer discarded a diamond
from dummy and a club from hand. Then, on the next heart, he ruffed on the board and
pitched his last club. He crossruffed the last three tricks and lost only two hearts and one
spade. Well envisioned.
