sioners in the circuit, which also includes

ties.

So, the decision to seek re-election in
2020 was easy.

“I certainly don’t feel the job has out-
grown me or that the system has passed
me by,” said Colton, whose office employs
54 attorneys and has an annual operating
budget of $12 million.

“We’ve kept up with the times, and
we’re continuing to make progress.

“It helps that I have an experienced
staff that I love and have full confidence
in and being around a lot of younger peo-
ple keeps me young, too,” he added.

“I’m 72, but I’m not the oldest or lon-
gest-serving State Attorney currently
serving in Florida.”

He’s probably among the most respect-
ed and well-liked, though.

Among Colton’s friends, in fact, is his
legal-system opponent, Public Defender
Diamond Litty, who worked for him as a
prosecutor in the 1980s and whose hus-
band, retired St. Lucie County Judge Tom
Walsh, remains his golf buddy.

“For as long as I’ve known him, Bruce
has loved the job and he’s been great at it,”
Litty said.

“He’s always been a hands-on leader
who cares about the people who work for
him and gets to know them. His esprit de
corps fills that office.”

If Colton wins re-election – and it’s dif-
ficult to imagine anyone beating him, or
even running against him – he said he
doesn’t know if it would be his last term,
but he’d likely make that decision four
years from now.

“If he were bored or fed up or felt he
couldn’t contribute,” Bakkedahl said,
“then I think he’d retire.”

That’s obviously not the case, and that’s
OK with Bakkedahl.

“I hope you’re not looking for me to say,
‘When do I get my chance?’” Bakkedahl
said. “Bruce is a steady hand, and his pres-
ence here frees me up to do other things,
including try cases. I don’t need the title.

“Would I want the job if he leaves?” he
added. “Sure, but if he wants to be the
State Attorney for life, I’m fine with that. I
think the voters would be, too.” 

STAGED READINGS
SPOTLIGHT MILLER
CLASSICS AT GUILD

By Pam Harbaug | Correspondent

1 The Vero Beach Theatre Guild’s
Apron Series explores the
works of iconic American playwright
Arthur Miller this season with a trio
of staged readings in front of the the-
ater’s grand drape. The Staged Read-
ings series begins with “The Cruci-
ble,” Miller’s classic play depicting
the hysteria surrounding the 1692
Salem Witch Trials. Written in 1953,
the Tony Award-winning play was
an allegory for McCarthyism which
was then stirring up witch hunt sen-
timent and resulted in the ruination
of many Americans accused of being
a communist. The staged reading is
directed by Tevin Brown and spon-
sored by Theatre Go Round Dinner
Theatre & Katrin Peck. If you’ve nev-
er attended a staged reading, expect a
different kind of theater experience.
In this form, actors hold the script in
their hands and refer to it or some-
times read directly from it. Make no
mistake, the cast has rehearsed and
been directed and know their work

The dining room is pleasant and nice- Phone:

to talk. I especially like the high-backed
booths and the attractive lighting fix-
tures. Typically Asian restaurants go
heavy with red and black decor, but Kata
has opted for soothing neutrals – hues
of caramel, chocolate and cappuccino –
with just a pop of red in the napkin rolls
on the table. It works well and gives the
place an upscale feel.

We ordered a pot of tea ($2.50), which
was served hot and after sufficient steep-
ing was a rich and flavorful green. For
appetizers we chose the Fresh Basil Rolls
($5.99), two light and tasty rolls made
with cooked shrimp, cucumber, basil,
iceberg lettuce and rice noodles wrapped
in rice paper and served with ponzu
sauce for dipping. It was like a refreshing
salad in a convenient roll.

We also ordered the Yakitori ($6.99),
an attractively presented plate of angled
skewers of tender, juicy grilled chicken
breast and onions glazed with a flavorful
teriyaki sauce.

I ordered a third appetizer as my en-
tree, as I was intrigued by a Hamachi
Kama ($9.99) dish listed as “Grilled Yel-
lowtail Jaw.” I suspected this meant the
delicacy of the cheek meat of the snap-
per, and verified this with our friendly
server. I knew from my younger days
fishing in the Florida Keys that the cheek
or collar meat is the best part of the deli-
cate yellowtail snapper.

Grilled on the bone with the charred
fins still attached, it is a great option if
you’re not in the mood for raw fish but
still want something really special.
Rich, sweet and flavorful, all it needs
is a squeeze of lemon and a fork, it’s
fall-apart tender. My fish was perfectly
cooked and wonderful.

My companion selected a Shrimp Bento
Box lunch ($10.99), which is a good bet if
you want to try several different items, or
if you don’t quite know what to pick from
the voluminous menu.

Her comments were that while the
teriyaki shrimp and vegetable dish is de-

SIX-HEART CONTRACTS KEPT ON COMING WEST NORTH EAST
85 K 10 4 962
By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist — AKJ73 Q984
Q6543 A 10 72
Just after the robots at bridgebase.com had bid and made six hearts against my wife and me AKJ763 842 Q 10 9 5
(see last week’s column), up came another one.
SOUTH
We had some scientific bidding. Over West’s Unusual No-trump showing at least 5-5 in AQJ73
the minors, my wife’s three-club response was game-forcing with five-plus hearts. (Instead, 10 6 5 2
three hearts would have been natural and encouraging, but nonforcing.) After I agreed KJ98
hearts, the next three calls were control-bids, North knowing that the king in partner’s first- —
bid suit is usually as good as the ace. Four no-trump was Roman Key Card Blackwood. Five
clubs indicated three key cards (here, two aces and the heart king). Now I could envision a Dealer: South; Vulnerable: Neither
grand slam, so I asked for the heart queen. But when my partner denied that card, I settled
for six hearts. The Bidding:

West led a top club. (It is common to lead the king from ace-king or king-queen when the SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
contract is above four no-trump.) I ruffed and led a low heart. West’s club discard was not 1 Spades 2 NT 3 Clubs Pass
unexpected. I put in dummy’s heart jack, and surprisingly East played the nine. I ruffed a club, 3 Hearts Pass 3 Spades Pass LEAD:

hearts and played on spades to make the slam. 4 NT Pass 5 Clubs Pass
5 Diamonds Pass 5 Hearts Pass
There were 15 other tables in play. Four spades plus two was the result 11 times, almost 6 Hearts Pass Pass Pass
every auction being one spade - two no-trump - four spades - all pass. That was very bad
evaluation of the North hand. Even worse, four tables were in a partscore. Don’t ask!
