If Hillman wins, and gets the injunction
she seeks invalidating the Nov. 6 City Coun-
cil election in which four candidates are on
the ballot – and she and another disqualified
candidate are not – Hillman may have to put
up a hefty bond in an amount equal to the
estimated cost of putting on a special elec-
tion in January.

Kanarek brought this up, saying “it’s a
matter of law” and not within his discretion
whether or not to hold that money until the
truth can be sorted out. Kanarek asked Re-
ingold what the estimated cost would be of
putting on an election specifically for Vero
City Council and Reingold told Kanarek that
number was $25,000.

“We would pay” the bond, said Hillman’s

without even glancing back at his client.

Then if, after fact finding by the court,
Hillman was shown to be a qualified candi-
date after all – if city officials were found to
be in some way responsible for the mix-up
that got her tossed off the ballot – she would
presumably get the money back, and Vero

her qualification packet was complete and

election and held up that scheduled vote for
no reason, Hillman would have to pay, via her
bond money, for the Supervisor of Elections
and City Clerk to conduct a special election.

That’s where the sticky legal questions
come into play. If she doesn’t have $25,000
sitting around, can Hillman fund that cost via
campaign donations if her candidacy is in lim-
bo? To bolster her case that she is a bona fide
candidate, Hillman continued to accept and

School Board members Laura Zorc and
Charles Searcy expressed disbelief the
School District couldn’t make it through
the next few weeks.

Searcy insisted Rendell and Chief Finan-
cial Officer Carter Morrison told him they
wouldn’t issue a Tax Anticipation Note this
year, which Rendell denied.

“We’re wasting money because we don’t
have good financial management,” Searcy
said, pointing out Morrison’s absence. “I
don’t see how the largest employer in the
county can run without a chief financial
officer.”

Morrison has not been at work since
Rendell publicly accused him of transfer-
ring $2.3 million out of the general fund to
other accounts without his permission at
the July 31 budget hearing.

Zorc said she had no idea what the $10
million was needed for and “Dr. Rendell
did not offer me that information” when
asked.

Board member Tiffany Justice said she
was given the information, reading a laun-
dry list of bills that need to be paid, with
nearly $5 million in payroll by the end of
October among them.

Chairman Shawn Frost also claimed he
was given fulsome explanations, suggest-
ing that Rendell doesn’t provide equal in-
formation to all School Board members in
his back-room discussions.

The whole exchange once again re-
vealed an extraordinary lack of transpar-
ency on the part of Rendell and the School
District that has been permitted by the cur-
rent School Board. Information is relayed
verbally to a few board members, while the
public is left guessing.

Zorc and Searcy voted against the loan,
while Frost, Justice and Dale Simchick vot-
ed in favor.

Searcy said the new board “will have a
tough time of it,” with high-ranking per-
sonnel missing.

Not only has Morrison been absent
under conditions that remain unclear,
but Assistant Superintendent of Human
Resources Jayne Purcell has also been
missing, with no explanation given to the
public.

She replaced long-time employee Bruce
Green, who resigned in July. Union nego-
tiations have been stalled since then, af-
fecting about 1,800 of the district’s 2,200
employees. 

for the Holidays” is a very
funny, drawing-room mystery (the
playwright Ken Ludwig bills it as
“a comedy thriller”), and you can
(and should) catch it at the Vero
Beach Theatre Guild starting Tues-
day, Nov. 6. Ludwig, known for his
period farces, also penned “Lend
Me A Tenor” and “Moon Over Buf-
falo.” “The Game’s Afoot or Holmes

during the Christmas Season, 1936.
According to the Guild’s synop-
sis, William Gillette, a world-fa-

starring role in the play “Sherlock
Holmes,” is convalescing at his
home following an attempt on his

and friendly.

We have had great experiences here over
the years with the fresh fish (not just from
the North Atlantic; their hog snapper from
the Keys is some of the best around). But
what drew us there a couple of weeks ago –
when we were shopping in that area – were
their New England offerings.

My Boston-born husband loves fried
whole belly clams, and rates those at the
New England Fish Market the best around.
So we stopped in for an early dinner.

For starters, my husband naturally or-
dered a cup of New England clam chowder
($5.25) and I decided to start with what
they call Gloustah Cay Chowdah (this is
the half-and-half mix of clam chowder
and spicy Bahamian conch chowder that

Market’s lobster roll was an excellent
rendition of this classic dish, big chunks Depending on which
of lobster with fairly little mayonnaise – of the many options you
choose, dinner for two – with a bottle of
decent white wine – will run you anywhere
from $70 to $90 before tax and tip.

Even for those not well acquainted with
the area, the restaurant is not hard to find.
It is approximately a mile east of U.S. 1
on the street that serves the old Treasure
Coast Square Mall, where Vero residents
used to shop before our own mall opened
in the mid-1990s.

If you have a hankering for New England
seafood favorites – or for fresh fish from
southern waters – you should give this un-
pretentious restaurant a try.

HOPE FOR ONE CARD TO BE WELL-PLACED AJ3

By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist J 10 8 7 5 4

Carmine Gallo, an expert in business communications and leadership skills, said, “Nothing KJ2
is more dramatic than a well-placed pause.”
WEST 9
That pause might also be critical in a comedy. At the bridge table, though, we might need 10 9 8 EAST
one card to be well-placed. In this deal, South was in six hearts. Which one card did he 2
hope East held? How did South play after West led the spade 10? 9653 Q764
10 7 6 4 2
South’s jump to four hearts, a superaccept, promised four-card support and a good hand 93
for hearts. I believe, though, that the hand should have had a doubleton.
Q 10 8
Declarer had 10 top tricks: two spades, six hearts and two diamonds. He could have
established a club winner and had two finesses that he might have tried. AJ85

There was a temptation to take the spade finesse at trick one, but South realized that that SOUTH
could wait. If he could just find East with the club ace, the contract was safe.
K52
Declarer took the first trick with his spade king, drew trumps ending on the board and led
dummy’s club. East defended well by not taking the trick. However, South won with his AKQ6
king, ruffed the club three, played a trump to his hand, led the club queen and, instead of
ruffing it, discarded dummy’s low diamond. A74

East took the trick, but was endplayed. If he led a spade or diamond, it would have been KQ3
away from his queen into dummy’s tenace. So he tried the club jack, but declarer ruffed
in his hand (a seventh trump trick) and discarded the spade jack from the dummy. He Dealer: South; Vulnerable: North-South
claimed two spades, six hearts, two diamonds, one club and the club ruff.
