occupancy at Sandcrest.

Buyers wanting a home built to order can
expect to wait six to eight months after per-
mits are issued before being able to move in,
according to Jackson.

SandCrest is just the latest “in-fill” devel-
opment in Sebastian and others are expect-
ed to follow.

Sebastian City Planner Dori Bosworth
pointed to a handful of properties that, if de-
veloped, could bring in approximately 800
more new homes.

She explained that the city approved several
annexations in the early 2000s, before the real
estate crash – most of which had been tenta-
tively approved for residential development.

River Oaks is one of them, located along
County Road 510 west of Cross Creek. It was
originally planned for 493 homes – but de-
velopment hasn’t begun at the site.

Forty acres east of Sebastian High School
was previously platted, but that has since
expired. Any development plans would have
to start from scratch. Nearly 100 homes were
originally approved for that site.

And two units in the Sebastian Highlands
have a combined 180-190 homes platted but
no infrastructure installed to date.

Bosworth said it would be 18 to 20
months before construction on any of those
sites could begin, given they’d all have to go
through the planning processes first.

In the meantime, construction on single
lots around town continues at a steady pace 

WHICH FINESSE OR BOTH FINESSES? 873

K Q J 10 6 5

Stacy Keach said, “I can’t think of anything that requires more finesse than comedy, both J4
from a verbal and visual point of view.”
WEST J9
In bridge, everyone is taught how to finesse very early, and — no joke — almost everyone, J 10 9 4 EAST
especially below the expert level, loves to finesse. But do you know anyone who was 7
warned that unless the contract is on the line, not to finesse when the failure of that 9853 652
finesse would result in more tricks being lost than if the finesse had never been taken? K752
2
This week, South is faced with two minor-suit finesses. Which should he take, if any, in
either six no-trump or seven no-trump after West leads the spade jack to declarer’s ace? K762

North’s weak-two opening promised a good six-card suit and 6-10 high-card points. 10 8 6 4 3
South, wishing to protect his ace-queen minor-suit holdings at trick one, jumped to six
no-trump. SOUTH

South starts with 11 top tricks: three spades, six hearts, one diamond and one club. To AKQ
get a guaranteed 12th trick is easy: Cross to dummy with a heart and run the diamond
jack. Even if the finesse loses, declarer gets a second diamond trick to bring his total up to A9843
12.
A Q 10
In seven no-trump, though, South seems to have a choice — but he doesn’t. If the club
finesse is winning, that only gets him up to 12 tricks. Declarer needs to assume that the AQ
diamond finesse is working. Then he gets three diamond tricks and 13 in all.
Dealer: North; Vulnerable: North-South
If you are thinking about contracting for a grand slam that needs a finesse to work, bid it
when the finesse is winning and do not bid it when the finesse is losing! The Bidding:
