The teacher finally intervened and sent
the injured Turnage to the school’s clin-
ic where the Turnages contend that the
school’s health assistant “ignored or failed”
to recognize the severity of the youth’s inju-
ries and confused condition.

Instead of calling 911 and transporting
the student to the hospital, school officials
called his father, Dustin D. Turnage, who
transported his son to the Indian River
Medical Center, according to court docu-
ments

Medical staff noticed the youth’s pupils
were unequal, and he was airlifted to St.
Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach
and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit,
where they discovered he had suffered a
skull fracture, brain hemorrhage and ar-
terial bleeding, according to court docu-
ments.

The school district’s written court re-
sponse argued that it was Turnage’s own
negligence that lead to the altercation.

One reason the case appears to have
dragged on for so long is due to the volumi-
nous number of motions and counter mo-
tions filed by both sides over the years. 

After months of delay, the district fi-

Helsby of Allen Norton & Blue, as its lead
negotiator.

At Helsby’s first meeting with the
teachers union on Oct. 27, Cannon said,
“They are willing to pay your fee and then
tell us, ‘We don’t have the money to pay
for your proposals.’ We feel that’s a slap
in the face.”

Helsby repeatedly said, “I can’t do any-

and admitted he had no authority to ne-
gotiate until he met with the new School
Board later this month. 

of several new roofs, repairs to Holman

Stadium’s press box, and other “deferred

maintenance” before MLB arrives later

this year.

“Those projects needed to be done, any-

way, for anybody to continue to operate

the facility,” Brown said, adding that the

county currently spends roughly $325,000

annually on maintenance there.

MLB will then contribute up to $10 mil-

lion in improvements – including $5 mil-

lion for an indoor practice field – with the

county matching up to half that amount in

reimbursements over the duration of the

10-year lease.

Brown said the county will use sales

as $800,000 annually through the first five

years of the lease, then dropping to a max-

imum of $400,000 annually through the

last five years.

Biologics: The benefits and risks of new asthma drugs

By Tom Lloyd | Staff Writer Dr. Diego Maldonado.
[email protected]
PHOTO: DENISE RITCHIE
Dr. Diego Maldonado, a pulmonologist
and critical care specialist at Indian River
Medical Center, is among a growing chorus
of doctors trying to spread awareness about
a new generation of asthma drugs.

Biologics.
These drugs target a specific type of in-
flammation that affects a majority of asth-
ma patients.
According to the National Institutes of
Health, “asthma is the result of an exagger-
ated immune response.”
As NIH explains, “when the mucous
membranes lining the lungs come into
contact with certain irritants, the muscles
of the airways contract. Typical symptoms
include episodes or ‘attacks’ of wheezing,
coughing and shortness of breath.”
Roughly 25 million Americans – includ-
ing 7 million children – suffer from some
form of asthma, and Asthma.net says
these allergic reactions are responsible for
nearly 2 million emergency department
visits each year. Of those 2 million ER vis-
itors, some 439,000 people are admitted to
the hospital.
Another grim statistic: 3,400 people
die from asthma attacks each year in the

Bagpipes of varying designs and con-
struction date back several millennia – by
some accounts to Egypt before 2500 BC –
with numerous nationalities boasting their
own versions. Bagpiping angels and shep-
herds are even in paintings celebrating the
birth of Jesus.

But it’s surely the Scots who can be cred-
ited for making them famous.

“Playing the bagpipes is unlike a lot of
other instruments. It’s really strongly tied to
a deep and rich culture; almost more than
any other instrument,” says piper Alex Ross,
the group’s treasurer. “And that’s a very im-
portant element of it. What we’re bringing is
not just music; we’re bringing a rich tradi-
tional culture to a society that has rejected a
lot of deep, rich, cultural traditions.”

“If you think about the rich tradition of
the tunes that we take for granted – ‘Amaz-
ing Grace,’ ‘Scotland the Brave,’ ‘Old Lang
Syne’ – these things all originated from our
roots,” says Thompson in agreement.

“All of us have some ancestral heritage. At
some point we have to consciously choose
to embrace it. Pipe bands allow an opportu-
nity for an awakening of that; or a reclaim-
ing of it in some fashion. For me it was just a
personal thing; I really liked the bagpipes,”
says Craig, whose family is Scottish “on both
sides all the way back as far as we can go.”

“It takes some work; the pipes are more
intimidating from the start than a lot in-
struments are,” Ross explains. “It’s very
simple instrument when you look at it;
it’s barely an octave. But while you can sit
down at the piano and in a few minutes
play a couple of simple tunes, you can’t do
that with the pipes.”

“This past May we awarded 112

executive director, noting that recipients
attended 19 colleges and universities in
seven states and Washington, D.C.

A tradition since 2006, the Football
Classic is one of the most anticipated
games of the season with its north/south
county rivalry. The Fighting Indians again
trounced the Sharks with a final score of
21-0 amid a torrent of raindrops and mud
puddles, continuing their undefeated 2018
season with a 10-0 record.

While there are literally thousands of

This restaurant actually originated al-

I wrote about several of these gizmos

void with argon gas to protect the wine.
This way you can drink the wine, glass

IF NOT BY HOOK, THEN BY CROOK WEST NORTH EAST
J62 A4 Q 10 9 8 7
By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist KQ654 92 J873
985 KJ72 643
Albert Einstein said, “Nature hides her secrets because of her essential loftiness, but Q8 97643 K
not by means of ruse.”
SOUTH
Bridge experts sometimes hide their secrets by means of ruse — as in this week’s deal. K53
It was played by Australian junior international Andy Hung (South) and was described A 10
by Ron Klinger, that country’s most prolific writer-teacher-player. A Q 10
A J 10 5 2
East’s two-diamond opening showed a weak major two-suiter. (This gadget is becoming
increasingly popular in the tournament world.) Hung started with a takeout double, Dealer: East; Vulnerable: North-South
being a tad wary about his short holdings in the majors, but when West pre-empted to
three hearts, Hung bid three no-trump, hoping for the best. The Bidding:

After West led the heart king, and East encouraged with the three (upside-down SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
signals), what did declarer do? 2 Diamonds
Dbl. 3 Hearts Pass Pass LEAD:
South had eight winners: two spades, one heart, four diamonds and one club. Extra 3 NT Pass Pass Pass K Hearts
winners could have been established in clubs, but that involved losing the lead and,
presumably, watching the opponents run their hearts. Was there a possibility?

Hung found a play that would have occurred to almost no one. At trick two, he returned
the heart 10! Yes, West, given his partner’s signal at trick one, should have played low,
but he won with his queen and shifted to a spade.

Declarer won with dummy’s ace, cashed the diamonds, then played the ace and another
club. The heart suit was blocked, so the defenders took only one club and three hearts.

If South’s ruse had not worked, he would have rued not being in five — or, here, six! — clubs.
