CHS. But Knell opted to put a finer point
Another nationally known safety on it. He blamed the F grade from Leap-
frog on a “pre-merger coding issue.”

Asked whether coding could have af-
fected Sebastian River’s dismal rate on
falls – the worst rate in the nation – or
bedsores, which were three times the
national average, Knell said “there are
things coded on admission. If something
comes in and we don’t document it, we
own it.”

Sebastian River also showed an alarm-
ing rate of dangerous objects left in the
body after surgery: .320 per thousand.
The national average is .022.

The terminations of McGill and En-
riquez were not related to the inspec-
tions, Knell said.

“Yes, I asked them to leave,” he said.
“It was something that was my decision. I
have to look at the future of the facilities,
and what you’re going to do to bring on a
bigger team.”

That bigger team is going to have to
run a bigger hospital. Steward is resum-
ing what CHS started: a three-story, $60
million wing with 48 private patient
rooms and seven “state of the art” oper-
ating rooms. Currently the hospital has
a mix of private and semi-private rooms.

Even though it appears little is hap-
pening in the construction zone behind
the hospital, Knell says a great deal of
work is going on underground, plumbing
pipes and electrical cables being buried,
for example.

Knell expects the project to be com-
pleted by the start of 2020. “We’re defi-
nitely moving along very rapidly.”

Asked if Sebastian River might be
headed for the same fate as the shuttered
Northside hospital, or be sold, with ma-
jor competition from Cleveland Clinic
taking over Indian River Medical Center,
Knell seemed stunned at the notion.

“We wouldn’t be putting $60 million
into a new patient tower we weren’t going
to keep hold of,” he said.

“We’re investing substantial dollars
into the hospital and the community.
We’ve got a lot of growth strategies,” Knell
said.

Knell also discounted any effect on the
Sebastian hospital from HCA’s plans to
build a freestanding ER in southern In-
dian River County, affiliated with Lawn-
wood Regional Medical Center in Fort
Pierce. 

idents living in fear of crime. It has promoted
the creations of parks, playgrounds and exer-
cise paths in poor neighborhoods. And it has
worked to raze or rehabilitate abandoned
houses used by addicts or sex workers.

At the most recent meeting of the Gifford
Health Council, Hawker passed around a
post card warning against putting food out
for the hundreds of stray cats that roam
through Gifford, generating a risk of rabies
and – of particular consequence to unborn
children – toxoplasmosis, which is spread to
pregnant women through cat feces in the
soil. “You have to look at where people live,
work and play to improve health and work,”
Hawker said. “That is the essential work we
do through PACE. All of the other clinical ser-
vices round out a comprehensive service of
health to the community.”

The Gifford Health Center opened with
much fanfare in 2003, becoming the first and
still the only health center in Gifford. The
county had given the land for the building,
there was $400,000 in donations, and the
Hospital District put up the rest of the mon-
ey. Over the years, though, the Health De-
partment had its funding cut by the state a
number of times and, in 2014, it moved adult
healthcare services out of Gifford to its main
building three miles away, leaving only pedi-
atric care at Gifford.

Beyond the Health Department, Gifford
Health Center does currently offer other
services, all from agencies funded through
the Hospital District. There is pre-natal care
provided by the Partners in Women’s Health
program; there is Healthy Start, a maternal
counseling group, which recently moved
seven staffers into the clinic’s offices, includ-
ing a nurse practitioner; and there is a ther-
apist from the Mental Health Association on
premises one day a week.

In addition, a grant two years ago from the
Impact 100 group funded a wing now staffed
by a full-time doctor with We Care, a group
of 120 volunteer doctors who provide care
for free. Like the other groups, We Care gets
funds from the Hospital District.

At the Oct. 9 meeting in Gifford, Trustee
Jones listed his priorities for a new, revital-
ized Gifford Health Center. Those would
include primary and urgent care for adults
and for children; extended hours to make it

Alcoholism often underdiagnosed among older people

By Fred Cicetti | Columnist

Q. How extensive is alcoholism among
older people?

Alcoholism is a serious problem among
seniors. Here are just a few statistics that tell
the story:

• About 70 percent of hospital admissions
for older adults are for illness and accidents
related to alcohol.

• About half of older adults in nursing
homes have an alcohol problem.

• Older adults lose an average of 10 years
off their lives because of alcohol abuse.

• About 80 percent of doctors misdiagnose
alcoholism as depression in older women.

for those of dementia, depression, or

other problems common to older adults.’

heart rate is during workouts. What we
might not know is what that data means.
That’s a shame, because basing your work-
out intensity on your heart rate can be a
great way to meet your exercise goals.

“Heart-rate training gives you objective
guidance on whether you’re on the right
track, pushing too hard or taking it too
easy,” says Janet Hamilton, an Atlanta-area
running coach.

Heart-rate training entails keeping
your heart rate – the number of times your
heart beats in a minute – within a set range
during a workout. The range is expressed
as a percentage of your maximum heart
rate, which is the greatest number of times
your heart can beat in a minute. For exam-
ple, for a 30-minute elliptical workout, you
might aim to keep your heart rate between
70 percent and 80 percent of your maxi-
mum heart rate.

Heart-rate training reflects the fact that
the harder you run, cycle, Nordic ski or do

heart rate is. The ideal heart-rate range

Former St. Ed’s star basks in Riverside’s bright lights

By Pam Harbaugh | Correspondent Jamari Williams.
[email protected]
PHOTOS: DENISE RITCHIE
The stars have aligned well for Jamari
Williams.

A talented young man who grew up in
Vero Beach, Williams was once a fixture with
the Gifford Youth Orchestra. In high school
he took the stage in starring roles at St. Ed-
ward’s School, and he started booking gigs
almost immediately after graduating from
the American Musical and Dramatic Acade-
my near Lincoln Center.

Now, at the tender age of 24, he’s returned
to Vero Beach to star in “Smokey Joe’s Café,”
which opened the new season at Riverside
Theatre on Oct. 23.

“This is completely incredible,” said Wil-
liams, who was taking care of a sore throat.

“I’m taking all the things – lots of tea, honey,
Echinacea, natural things, even some antibiot-
ics,” he said. “But the voice is still here.”

Thrilled to be back in his hometown, Wil-
liams said this means more of his family can
come see him perform. That includes aunts,
uncles, cousins, a great-grandmother and
his two beloved grandmothers – “Grand-
ma Willie and Grandma Theresa.” His par-
ents have moved to Georgia, but they could
make it as well.

Although family wants him to stay with
them while he’s in town, he’s staying
with the rest of the cast in a hotel room
close to the theater, which makes it easi-
er to get to rehearsals.

“I love my family, but I’m here to do
the shows,” he said. “I’ve been in and out
of rehearsal but try to see them as much
as I can.”

And then there are the friends who didn’t
get the chance to see him in the national
tour of “Memphis,” or the shows he origi-
nated at Bush Gardens in Williamsburg, Va.

An old high school friend, Callie Schnur,
now the local sales manager for Treasure and
Space Coast Radio, shrieked when she saw
him walking in for a radio interview.

The two of them performed musicals at St.
Edward’s together, including “Beauty and the
Beast.” She was the Tea Pot, he was the Beast.

while,” he said.

“We’re very pleased he’s had this career
path,” said Bill Scully. “(The scholarship) gives
kids a great opportunity. It opens their lives to
be able to do different things.”

Just as the Gifford Youth Orchestra ex-
posed him to music, St. Edward’s exposed
him to even more.

“If I had not gone to St. Edward’s I would not
have discovered theater,” he said. “My fam-

TWO ALTERNATIVES THAT DO NOT WORK WEST NORTH EAST
Q 10 3 J9854 —
By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist K Q 10 9 7 3 2 A6 85
J4 A32 Q 10 9 7 6
Henry Kissinger said, “The absence of alternatives clears the mind marvelously.” 2 J74 K Q 10 9 8

Yes, but this deal has two interesting alternatives with which to occupy the mind. SOUTH
AK762
When I described the play in four spades yesterday, South took the first trick with J4
dummy’s heart ace, cashed his spade, diamond and club winners, then endplayed West K85
by leading his heart jack. Fine, but what might have happened if declarer, instead of giving A63
West the lead in hearts at trick seven, had exited with a trump? Also, what could have
transpired if South had not won the first trick? Dealer: West; Vulnerable: East-West

North might have cue-bid four hearts over three spades to show a strong raise to four The Bidding:
spades (and promise nothing about hearts).
SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
If South throws West in with his trump or ducks the first trick, the contract can be 3 Spades 3 Hearts Pass Pass
defeated. Pass 4 Spades All Pass LEAD:
K Hearts
In the first case, after winning with his spade queen, West must resist the temptation to
cash the heart queen. Instead, he must lead a low heart to declarer’s jack. Then South will
have to lose one diamond and two clubs to East, along with the spade already conceded.

That defense should not be too hard to find, but the other one really takes some
imagination. After the heart king and a heart to the ace, when declarer cashes his two top
trumps, West must throw the 10 and queen under them! Then he cannot be endplayed,
and the contract will go down one. After the deal, probably South would congratulate
West on his great play, then say that if only West had had the spade four and dummy the
spade three, the contract would still have made.

Come in and let us create a masterful blend of function
and esthetics for the kitchen of your dreams.
