Things looked grim, but hoping for the best, South ran the spade queen. When it won, SOUTH

Take these steps to treat problematic diabetic foot wounds

More than 65,000 lower limbs

complications from diabetes including
diabetic foot ulcers, according to
the American Podiatric Medical
Association.

those amputations could have been
avoided if diabetic patients had stuck to

Orchid Island oceanfront condo: Bright, beautiful and turnkey

BY STEPHANIE LABAFF
Staff Writer

The elegantly appointed three-
bedroom, three-bath condominium
at 70 Beachside Drive #101 in Ocean
Club II at Orchid Island is ready for
owners looking for a turnkey proper-
ty – all you need to do is unpack your
bags and settle in.

Dr. Art and the Hon. Sandy
McLaughlin purchased the luxu-
rious, low-rise oceanfront condo-
minium 10 years ago as a tropical
getaway. At the time, the couple
enlisted designer Lori Andriot with
the iconic, 165-year-old design firm
Bittners, and the beautiful setting
she created along with most of the
furnishings are included in the price
of the property.

“I’m a Florida native,” shares Sandy
McLaughlin. “I was born and raised
in Palm Beach County and had some
family in Vero Beach, so I always
knew we were coming back here. We
just love Vero Beach, and we’re going
to make this our permanent home.”

They were drawn to the beauti-

able to open the back door and have
the grass under our feet.”

McLaughlin says she loves the Brit-
