Citrus Bowl. Then, barring an unlikely col-
lapse, the Fighting Indians will return to the
playoffs and resume their quest for a state
championship.

“It’s such a long process and there are so
many things along the way that have to work
in your favor,” Jankowski said of chasing a
championship. “If you spend time looking
too far ahead, you’ll mess up what’s right in
front of you, so you can’t get ahead of the task
at hand.

“But I do believe in being goal-orient-
ed and dangling the carrot,” he added. “It’s
OK to let the kids know what’s possible, but
you’ve got to keep your focus, because it’s a
grind just to get to Friday night. Once that’s
over, you start again, and you do that every
week.

“Even then, there’s so much outside your
control, but that’s all part of the challenge.”

It’s the challenge the former John Carroll
High player and coach accepted when he left
his position as football coach and athletic
director at Walton High in DeFuniak Springs
and moved here, against the advice of some
friends who warned him that the Vero job
wasn’t what it was a decade earlier.

He was told people had stopped coming to
games, the best athletes on campus weren’t
playing football, and that Vero hadn’t been
in any serious conversations regarding the
state’s better programs since the late 1990s.
Worse, he was told Fighting Indian football
was becoming irrelevant.

Jankowski, however, saw possibilities
where skeptics saw problems.

“I had a good job at Walton, made a good
living and had a nice house, but I remem-
bered what Vero Beach football was – the
Citrus Bowl, the crowds, the tradition – and
I believed we could be successful there,” Jan-
kowski said.

“I was confident we would play the type
of game the players would enjoy playing and
the fans would enjoy watching,” he added. “I
believed if we did the little things, big things
would happen.” They have.

With Jankowski running the show – at
times, that’s what his passing attack resem-
bles – the Fighting Indians continue to play
a brand of football that is as entertaining as
it is successful.

And now that they’ve taken their act on
the road, Vero Beach fans are eager to see
how far they can go. 

A delegation from the Shores, including
former mayor Brian Barefoot, is traveling
to Tallahassee next week, hoping to have
a chance to speak. “It’s worth it to fight for
our community and that’s why we’re going,”
Barefoot said.

A pre-hearing conference was set for this
Wednesday, with a defined, six-fold pur-
pose – simplifying the issues; identifying
the positions of the parties; attempting to
identify admissions of fact to whittle down
disputed points; identifying exhibits to be
admitted into evidence; establishing an
order of witnesses; and finally, considering
other matters “which may aid in the dispo-
sition of the matter.”

All the parties filed pre-hearing state-
ments laying out their positions on 20 dif-
ferent issues, large and small, from whether
or not they think the three objectors – Brian
Heady, Michael Moran and Larkin’s Civic As-
sociation – indeed have standing, to wheth-
er or not Vero’s situation represents “extraor-
dinary circumstances” and what they think
the PSC should do.

The 3-2 approval of the sale by the PSC in
June was based upon a finding of “extraordi-
nary circumstances” that would allow FPL to
pay significantly more for Vero’s system than
it is technically worth.

The Office of Public Counsel, which said it
would not preemptively object to the PSC’s
June 5 vote, has since jumped into the fray
and hired a consultant who argued that Vero
ratepayers should reimburse the 4.9 million
existing FPL customers for a $116.2 million
acquisition adjustment.

By some calculations, that figure rep-
resents the difference between the $185
million FPL is paying and the market value
of the nuts and bolts of the system and its
nearly 35,000 customers.

The PSC hearing is set for all day Tuesday,
with general public comment scheduled for
5 p.m. There will be an additional hearing
day for evidence and testimony on Wednes-
day, if needed. After the hearing the PSC staff
will weigh in and a formal ruling is expected
before the end of 2018. 

FDA pushes for development of non-opioid pain meds

By Laurie McGinley Commissioner
The Washington Post Scott Gottlieb.

The Food and Drug Administration is
planning new steps to encourage the de-
velopment of nonaddictive alternatives to
opioid pain medications, Commissioner
Scott Gottlieb said in an interview.

As part of the effort, the agency plans
to withdraw its existing 2014 guidance to
the drug industry on pain medicines. That
document is overly broad, Gottlieb said,
and is sometimes a barrier to new products
and innovations. The current guidelines
call for a large number of studies to get FDA
approval for general use for chronic pain,
he added.

Over the next six to 12 months, the
agency plans to issue several documents
intended to spur development of medica-
tions for specific types of pain. The result
should lead to smaller clinical trials, faster
approvals and quicker launches of novel
therapies, Gottlieb said.

One of the advisories will provide drug
companies information on what the FDA is
looking for in non-opioid medications for
chronic pain, while another will detail how
manufacturers can show that their product
reduces patients’ exposure to opioids for
acute pain. Yet another will update drug-

Pomodoro Grill: Delightful dishes have never been better

By TIna Rondeau | Columnist Mussels in White Wine
[email protected] and Garlic Broth.

For going on a quarter century, we have
been dining every couple of months at
Pomodoro, an unpretentious restaurant
tucked back in the corner of an office
building at the southern end of Cardinal
Drive.

We don’t just go there for reviews.
We dine there regularly for consistently
well-prepared seafood, veal, chicken and
pasta dishes at reasonable prices. I love
Chef Amedeo Amelio’s light, flavorful
sauces.

After a couple of visits in recent weeks,
I would have to say the dishes have never
been better.

An evening at Pomodoro starts with the
smell of garlic knots. You pick up the scent
of these hot baking rolls the minute you
come through the door of the attractively
decorated Tuscan trattoria.

As soon we placed our wine order last

HERE IS ANOTHER DEAL WITH LINES A AND B 10 8 7

By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist 653

Lea Michele, an actress and singer, said, “I always knew that I wanted to work, and I knew J4
I wanted to be a singer and an actor. I knew that every choice I made would help me get
to that point. So the better the choices I made, the more of a chance I would have to get AK752
to where I wanted to be.”
WEST EAST
That has been our theme this week. In this last example, how should South play in seven —
spades after West leads the heart queen? What are his choices? Q J 10 9 8 652
K 10 6 3
In the auction, I strongly agree with North’s three-club response, which showed at least 10 8 4 3 742
a five-card suit and eight or more points. South’s final bid was a slight gamble because if
North had the club ace and king, South did not know where the diamond queen would go. 985
Still, the grand slam rated to be at worst on the diamond finesse.
QJ96
With 12 top tricks, declarer can make his contract if either the diamond finesse works
or the clubs break 4-4. So, after taking the first trick, South should play a trump to SOUTH
dummy’s seven, ruff a low club with the spade jack, cross back to dummy with a trump
to the eight, ruff a second low club high and draw East’s last trump by leading the spade AKQJ943
nine to dummy’s 10. Now declarer cashes the club ace and king, discarding his two low
diamonds. AK

Are the clubs 4-4? If so, South throws his diamond queen on the club seven. If not, he takes AQ72
the diamond finesse. Altogether, the odds of success are an acceptable 66.36 percent.
