are already gearing up for a new
chance to ask voters to support
increasing the sales tax.

But will that increase be by a
half cent or a full cent? For 10
years or two decades?

Answers have not yet been
determined. That’s what a con-
sultant is working on – polling
400 residents around St. Lucie
County, in Port St. Lucie, Fort
Pierce and the unincorporated
county.

Results should be in by the

“I love, what I do and helping people live a fuller life”

Joann Avery & Joe Mutter Dear Neighbors:

I feel like I’m a part of the Mutter Family.

My new hearing aids have been an absolute wonder for me. My very first
family outing with them on we all went bowling and I decided not to tell my
family unless they noticed how well I was hearing and sure enough they did!
My granddaughter was amazed when I told her to whisper something to me
and I repeated it back to her! They were so thrilled with my new hearing aids
and couldn’t believe that I was actually wearing them because they couldn’t
see them! My son-in-law even got his flashlight out to shine in my ear to see
that they were actually there! I cannot believe how easy the transition has
been and Joe was there to help me at every step of the way. Every one at
Mutter’s Hearing Center has been lovely with helping me and truly bettering
my hearing.

Sincerely Joann Avery

North’s three-heart advance is called a “mixed raise.” It showed four-card support and K6

it would have ruined a good story.

West led the heart ace, and East signaled encouragingly with the 10. If West had 1 Hearts

West had three hearts and he knew that East’s play denied the heart jack, because East 4 Spades Pass Pass Pass A Hearts

South took East’s jack with his ace, drew trumps ending in the dummy and led the heart
six, but East won with his king and cashed two diamond tricks to defeat the contract.
