Mutter’s Hearing Center

Family Centered Care

Joe Mutter

...First Step in Bettering My Quality of Life!

While I’ve only had my hearing aids a short time I can already say that I love them
and Mutter’s Hearing Center! I previously had another set of hearing aids from a
different store, or what I like to call “hearing aid mill” (one of those chain stores
where you see those huge newspaper ads.) You see, I’ve had hearing loss for years and
have been wearing aids from many different places to try to help me but, the service
I received at the other places was well below what I expected, all they did was keep
turning up the volume in my hearing aids and tell me they couldn’t do what I’d asked
them to. So one day my husband and I saw an ad in the paper for hearing aid lunch
and learn held by Mutter’s Hearing Center so we called and scheduled reservations
to go and from the moment I met Joe I knew he was the one who would be able to
help us. Not only does Joe provide excellent service; his knowledge, understanding
and integrity are unparalleled. Joe took the time to educate my husband and I about
our hearing loss and guide us through the process of adjusting to being able to hear
again. Hearing aids are not just amplification! You can tell at Mutter’s Hearing Center
they truly do care about you, they don’t just sell you a product, they actually make
your hear better! I can honestly say that visiting Joe and Mutter’s Hearing Center was
the first step to bettering my quality of life! My husband and I wouldn’t go anywhere
else for my hearing needs!

‘CREW’ CONTROL: PSL DANCE
TEAMS ARE WORLD BEATERS!

True Crew Dance Company, under artistic director Toni Szpara-
ga, once again brought Port St. Lucie into the spotlight at the World
Dance Championships at the Meadowlands Expo Center in New
Jersey.

Four of True Crew’s routines received Golden Tickets and were
invited to compete at the World Dance Championships.

True Crew’s Senior Large Group Hip Hop routine “Haunted Man-
sion” placed in the “Final Top Five,” then went on to compete again
and receive first place as 2018 World Dance Champions.

True Crew’s Production Line routines of “Circus Crew,” featuring
41 of True Crew’s students ranging in age from 5 to 17, also placed
in the “Final Top Five,” then went on to re-compete and receive
fifth overall World Dance Champions in the Junior Intermediate
Line category.

Next to be called was “Boy Band,” True Crew’s Boyz Hip Hop
team, which also placed in the “Final Top Five” and came back to
compete again, being awarded fourth overall World Dance Cham-
pions in the Teen Intermediate Small Group category.

True Crew’s Junior Hip Hop, called “Space Jam,” also competed
at World Dance Championships in the Junior Small Group Inter-
mediate division.

True Crew students came home tired but proud and happy,
knowing their performances resonated so well with the World
Dance Championship judges.

True Crew Dance is located on 1912-1918 Biltmore Street in Port

St. Lucie and is presently registering for their 2018-2019 Dance Sea-

VBMA pottery teacher and clay techni-
cian Peggy Thomas said they are all quite
excited about the new kiln which Sean Clin-
ton, VBMA faculty manager, just recently
installed. “We also have another kiln so we’ll
be using that too,” said Thomas. The other
one is roughly half the size of the new kiln.
Both will be put to good use throughout the
year as the VBMA has increased the number
of its pottery classes.

“I’ve done Soup Bowl for over 20 years,”
said Thomas. “I love the whole idea of Soup
Bowl; I love the idea of spending our time
and our energy doing this. That the museum
is involved with it is a great thing.”

For consistency, potters are allotted 1.5
pounds per bowl of clay, but since throw-
ing styles vary amongst the artists, the siz-
es range from thin larger bowls to thicker
smaller bowls. Most of the potters also enjoy
incorporating their own special touches.

“I did dragonflies last year; this year I’m
going to do what’s called sgraffito fish,” said
Thomas. “I throw the whole bowl, then put a
black slip on it and then draw the fish scales
through it.”

Bridge declarers can be like that. They see two ways to get the tricks needed for their
contract — let’s call them line A and line B. Sometimes declarer must choose between
them; on other deals, it will be possible to succeed if either A or B works — which is
obviously preferable.

In this week’s deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads the club ace: two, 10, nine.
West continues with the club four (in case his partner has only queen-third of clubs).
East wins with the queen, returns the club three, wins the fourth trick with his club eight
and shifts to a low spade. How should South try to benefit from the 4-4 club split?

South starts with eight top tricks: one spade, three hearts and four diamonds. The Dealer: South; Vulnerable: Both
obvious chances for a ninth trick are the spade finesse working — line A, let’s say — or
the missing hearts splitting 3-3 — line B. Which would a mathematician recommend? The Bidding:
