the rail industry does something?

Then there’s the noise issue.
The train’s horn blew almost constant-
ly throughout my Brightline round-trip.
That’s because the so-called “quiet zones”
– railroad crossings with federally regu-
lated safety upgrades that enable trains to
pass through without blowing their horns
– haven’t yet been built between West Palm
Beach and Fort Lauderdale.
The Palm Beach Post reported three
weeks ago that the quiet-zone upgrades
aren’t expected to be completed along the
stretch from West Palm Beach to the Bro-
ward County line for four to six months and
residents who live near the tracks already
are complaining.
Those same upgrades will be needed in
our county, which has 30 railroad crossings,
to avoid what will seem like a relentless,
daylong shriek of train horns. Guess who’s
going to pay for them? Not Brightline.
Finally, there’s the dramatic increase in
freight traffic that I firmly believe will fol-
low Brightline’s expansion through our
community.
The Panama Canal has been widened.
The seaports in Miami and Fort Lauderdale
are being expanded and the projects in-
clude new rail lines. And, as has been prov-
en across America, passenger rail service is
not profitable. Hauling freight is.
So don’t be surprised to see more
slow-moving, traffic-stopping Florida East
Coast Railway freight trains chugging along
on the extra tracking installed for Bright-
line’s speedsters.
The change, I’m guessing, will be so
gradual that we won’t notice it – until an
ambulance is stuck at a crossing, wasting
precious minutes as it waits for the freight
trains to pass. Remember: Most of the
county’s population resides west of the
tracks, but both of the county’s hospitals
are located east of the tracks. That’s a po-
tential danger.
And what if there’s a derailment?
We’ve seen it happen elsewhere. Don’t
tell me it can’t happen here. I’ve spoken
with a few first responders, and they tell me
such an event would be catastrophic.
None of that matters, though.
The battle has been lost, regardless of
what you might hear from opponents who
refuse to surrender.
Brightline is a reality. 

This Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5
p.m., more than 130 juried, profession-
al artists and craftspeople display their
work, in virtually every medium imagin-
able, from delicate watercolor paintings
to robust wood and metal sculpture, in-
tricate glass art to joyful, brightly colored
tropical scenes, all arranged within tidy
white tents, lining Indian River Drive and
Sebastian Boulevard.

In addition to the burgeoning local art
community, over the years the Sebastian
Fine Art and Music Festival has become a
circled date on the calendars of many out-
of-state artists, who travel to Sebastian
each season to participate. The artists are
typically right on site, more than happy to
discuss their work and answer questions,
and all the art is, of course, available for
purchase.

The Festival committee works closely
with the City of Sebastian to ensure the
event flows smoothly. And it does, provid-
ed the weather cooperates. Live music will
fill the air, and local restaurants will be set
up on site, offering a plethora of food op-
tions, as well as beer, wine and soda.

Principal sponsors include: the City
of Sebastian; Tiki Bar and Grill; Dale So-
rensen Real Estate, Kathy Lee; and Pak-
Mail Beachside.

As this popular event draws a large
crowd, it’s a good idea to arrive as early as
possible; midday traffic can be a bit of a
challenge (but well worth it). 

chosen to present their findings at the up-

Foundation of Indian River County in part-

“We’re the only Education Foundation in
the state of Florida that presents a regional
science and engineering fair. So I tell ev-

Executive Director Cynthia Falardeau with
a chuckle. “And truly, we have heard from
other judges and even other families who
have moved into the area, that our fair is
unique because we have such tremendous
community involvement.”

Falardeau explains that regional fairs
elsewhere are often undertaken by just a
few teachers and offer limited, if any, cash
prizes or scholarships. The Indian River fair
presents more than $1 million in prizes,
thanks in large part to FIT college scholar-

DO YOU LOOK FOR SPEED OR SAFETY? 984

873

I am writing this column on a transatlantic jet covering a mile approximately every six AKQJ65
seconds. It is impossible to imagine that speed at 35,000 feet, but if we were doing it
on a salt flat à la Donald Campbell, it would be a mixture of thrilling and scary. WEST A
KJ73 EAST
Defense and declarer-play are like that. Sometimes speed is of the essence — you need J2
to be actively trying to win tricks or eliminate losers. At other times, you want to sit back 872 A 10 2
and wait for winners to fall into your lap — you play passively. Q J 10 6
Q5
Which is relevant in this week’s deal? Look at the West hand. What would you lead
against four hearts: the spade three or club queen? 10 9 4

North’s three-diamond rebid promised at least a decent six-card suit and seven winners. 97542
South’s three hearts was game-forcing and also indicated a six-card or longer suit.
North’s four clubs was an advance control-bid, which said that he had heart support, SOUTH
liked his hand for a slam and had the club ace, but did not have the spade ace (a suit he
skipped over). South settled into four hearts. Q65

North and South have the values for game; they even dabbled at a slam. West must be A K 10 9 6 4
active, leading the spade three. East wins with his ace and returns the spade 10, the
higher of two remaining cards. West overtakes with his jack and cashes the spade king. 3
But where is trick four?
K83
West, seeing no minor-suit winner available, must try for a trump trick. He leads the 13th
spade and hopes partner ruffs with the heart queen, which would effect an uppercut. Dealer: North; Vulnerable: Both
