Staffing the lab with research scientists
would fulfill Port St. Lucie’s goal of estab-
lishing a research hub in Tradition Center
for Innovation at Interstate 95 and Tra-
dition Parkway, said City Manager Russ
Blackburn.

Port St. Lucie backed $64 million in
bonds used to finance the construction of
the laboratory, which opened in 2012.

VGTI Florida failed in October 2015 as a
result of the Great Recession and the loss
of National Institutes of Health research
grants.

The city acquired the lab in August 2017,
along with $1.5 million in operating and
maintenance costs, and has been trying to
sell it ever since.

stands to earn a $440,000 real estate commis-
sion in four payments between Jan. 2, 2020,
and Jan. 2, 2023, records show. Port St. Lucie
and Cleveland Clinic will split the costs.

The city also agreed to pay off $39,418
in assessments on the building and 8-acre
property for roads and water and sewer
utilities, records show.

The city paid $4.1 million last year on the
lab’s construction debt and still owes $57.8
million in principal, records show. The final
payment is due May 1, 2042, unless the city
pays off or refinances the bond.

“Here we are today with a world-class
research entity wanting to lease the build-
ing and build the job base we originally
thought we would get from that invest-
ment,” Blackburn told the council on Nov.
12. “Yes, we do have an ongoing commit-
ment, but we also have major jobs and a
major financial impact.” 

brass,” he said. “It was taken a little less
seriously in the classical realm. Our range
is not quite as great. The general rule of
thumb is that composers who approached
brass as if it were a voice (were most suc-
cessful). Both voice and brass are instru-
ments of wind.”

Limitations on brass continued until
the chromatic scale was developed, with
some exceptions.

“Bach figured out some nifty things. It
really developed in early jazz.”

Canadian brass is renowned for its
arrangements of music for brass quin-
tets and has commissioned many
works for the group. Ridenour, who is
a Beatles fan par excellence, recently
launched “Come Together,” an album
of reimagined Beatles music celebrat-
ing the 50th anniversary of the Lennon/
McCartney song.

“It seemed like the fitting and right kind
of message,” he said. “The Beatles are one
of my favorite bands. Great music is great
music. I did an album and it’s still not out
of my system. We play a whole Beatles set

South can see four potential losers: one spade, one heart and two clubs. Certainly, if West K Hearts
has the spade king, East is sure to hold the club ace. But if East has the trump king, there
are 10 tricks via four spades, one heart and five diamonds. Declarer just has to be careful
how he tries to draw trumps.

South should take the first trick (so as not to risk a club shift), cross to the board with a
diamond and ... what?

Declarer should lead the spade nine, the lowest trump in the dummy that can win the trick if
the finesse is working. When the nine holds, declarer runs the spade queen, plays a spade
to his jack, cashes the ace of spades and trundles the diamonds for his contract.
