CORRECTION: Morgan wins PSL council seat

An article published in the Sept. 9 edition of St. Lucie Voice Stephanie Morgan
erroneously reported that Port St. Lucie District 1 City Council
candidates Stephanie Morgan and John DiMola would be facing
off in the November general election.

Morgan placed first in the three-way race and garnered more
than 50 percent of the votes. In such an instance, the top finisher
automatically wins the seat.

Had Morgan not won with more than 50 percent of the votes
cast, she would have faced DiMola in November.

As it is, Morgan won the District 1 seat in the August primary
and will serve two years on the council, filling out the remainder
of Linda Bartz’s term.

HIGH HONOR FOR IRSC

Indian River State College was named one

of 10 finalists for the 2017 Aspen Prize for

Community College Excellence, the nation’s

preeminent recognition of high achieve-

ment and performance in America’s com-

munity colleges.

The $1 million prize fund will be award-

ed in March 2017 in Washington, D.C. to the

winner and up to four finalists with distinc-

tion. The prize, awarded every two years

since 2011, recognizes outstanding institu-

tions selected from an original pool of more

than 1,000 public community colleges na-

tionwide.

“Indian River State College’s efforts to get

and keep students on clear program path-

ways aligned with labor market needs serves

as a model for community colleges across

the country,” said Joshua Wyner, executive

director of the Aspen Institute’s College Ex-

cellence Program in Washington, D.C. “IRSC

students have access to advisors that guide

them from their first day through gradua-

tion, helping them define goals, map the

most direct routes to achieving them, and

continually chart their progress.”

IRSC, with an enrollment of 24,000 stu-

dents, earned a place on the top 10 finalists’

list for a second time after being named a fi-

nalist in 2015. The institution stands out as

one of the nation’s top community colleges

for many reasons, including:

 49 percent of students graduate or

transfer within three years (compared to 39

percent nationally)

 Associate degree earners who go on to

the upper-level at IRSC or transfer to other

institutions (and attend full-time) earn a

bachelor’s degree at a rate of approximately

73 percent within four years.

The other 2017 finalists are: Anoka-Ram-

sey Community College, Coon Rapids,

Minn. Broward College, Fort Lauderdale;

Chaffey College, Rancho Cucamonga, Ca-

lif.; Lake Area Technical Institute, Water-

town, S.D.; Northeast Community College,

Norfolk, Neb.; Odessa (Texas) College;

Pasadena (Calif.) City College; San Jacin-

During the recent budget retreat, our city council faced a similar

dilemma. How much money should the city put under the mattress,

or as financial professionals call it, the “contingency fund”. Our city
has a contingency fund. Do we use it to pay off some of our debt, or
save it for a rainy day? This is not rocket science. General accounting
principles use what’s known as “best practices” to serve as a guideline.
First, we establish a formal policy based on general risks like the next
economic downturn, and the risks which are unique to this city, such

as hurricanes, and a higher than normal level of debt. Right now,
our policy is that we keep two months’ of our general fund operating

To All Port St. Lucie Residents

Before voting for the Port St Lucie City
Council District 2 here are some important facts
you should know and questions you should ask

• City Council Candidate Linda Gausten has lived in Port St.

Lucie for two years.(1) According to the required August 26,
2016 elections finance report filed with the St. Lucie Supervisor
of Elections, she has had $13,608 in monetary contributions.

• 99% of those contributions were from Gausten herself and

a host of large contributions from wealthy donors in affluent
communities, like Grenwich, Ct., New Hyde Park, NY.,
Washington D.C., Mill Valley, Ca., Aventura
and Delray Beach, Fl. (2)

LESS THAN 1% ($100) IS FROM PORT ST. LUCIE OR ST LUCIE COUNTY RESIDENTS.

BIG QUESTION:

Why is newcomer Gausten trying to buy the election and
WHO are these wealthy out-of-town donors that are trying to
influence a Port St. Lucie City Council election???

ANOTHER QUESTION:

When you see Gausten ask her why she hasn’t posted this
important information on her FaceBook page.

SPOTTING ERRORS THAT ARE INSTRUCTIVE A 10 7 5 4 2

By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist 3

Li Ka-shing, a Hong Kong business magnate, investor and philanthropist, said, “We A2
are approaching a new age of synthesis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree
or a skill ... it demands a broader vision, capabilities in critical thinking and logical Q J 10 3

Playing bridge well requires clear thinking and logical deduction; perhaps, because QJ9

West misdefended this deal by not thinking clearly. It was sent to me by Steve Conrad 982 J96542
of Manhasset, New York.

In the bidding from a pro-am, the “am” sitting North preferred that her expert partner
be the declarer. However, knowing about the eight- or nine-card spade fit and having 76
a singleton, she should have corrected three no-trump to four spades, which would
have made with an overtrick. SOUTH

Against three no-trump, West led the diamond king. Declarer won with dummy’s ace, 83
crossed to his hand with a club, and led a spade. When West nervously inserted her
jack, South played low from the dummy. A K 10

Now East should have overtaken with his king and returned the diamond nine, which J764
would have held declarer to his contract. Minus 400 would have been a top for East-
West. When East actually played low, West led another club. South won, played a AK54
spade to dummy’s ace, and led another spade. West cashed her diamond queen to
hold South to 10 tricks. But minus 430 was still a top. Dealer: North; Vulnerable: East-West

West should have played low on the first spade, because if South had held the king, The Bidding:
he would have cashed that honor first.
