The police were notified, but the owner
wanted to handle the issue out of court.

“During the conversation Mr. Baker
readily confessed to the theft and became
very emotional, apologizing to Mr. Giam-
banco and [asking] if he could make it up
in some way,” attorney Robert Meadows
wrote police.

“At first Mr. Giambanco was very reluc-
tant to work with Mr. Baker and just want-
ed to involve law enforcement. After some
discussion, Mr. Giambanco agreed to al-
low Mr. Baker to make payments to him to
pay back the full amount of the theft and
the moneys Mr. Baker had borrowed from
Mr. Giambanco.”

Baker promised payment in two weeks,
but by November no money had been
paid, according to court documents.

The police were notified again, and this
time a detective with the Vero Beach Po-
lice Department interviewed Baker. Ac-
cording to court documents, Baker con-
fessed again over the phone and said he
was trying to pay his boss back by putting
his boat for sale. Baker no longer had a job
and money to pay off the debt was hard to
come by, he said.

He admitted to making a mistake. He
said he believed if he had been honest with
his boss from the beginning, Giambanco
would have given him the money and he
would have never had to break the law.

The restaurant owner again decided to
be lenient and keep the case out of court.
The parties made a financial agreement.
Baker would pay $3,000 immediately and
then make $150 payments each week for
no more than 32 months. Twenty-one
dollars, or 6 percent, would go toward in-
terest. The remaining $129 would cover a
portion of the debt’s principal balance.

Baker’s initials are on the Dec. 6 docu-
ment next to a clause that said if he de-
faulted on the deal, his boss would exer-
cise all legal remedies against him. Seven
months later Giambanco’s attorney wrote
police calling for a criminal prosecution.
Baker had paid nearly $3,800 but had
since missed four out of 10 payments.

“I was trying not to ruin his life,” Giam-
banco lamented. “Young people make
mistakes. I was trying to help him out. I
gave him chances. Finally, I said, ‘Enough
is enough.’” 

showed us to a not-so-charming table on
the path to the dock.

When we demurred, he grudgingly
agreed to clear the dishes from the empty
table, and a couple of minutes later, hand-
ed us menus and said, “You can go over
there.”

This less-than-inviting start was off-
set by the arrival of veteran server
Misty, who was both cheerful
and attentive. Misty quickly
took our drink order, and
we decided to start with the
fried calamari ($11), served
here with pickled aspara-
gus and onions.

While the dish was crisp
and crunchy, it unfortunately
consisted largely of flash-fried
breading. I can’t recall seeing as
few calamari in a squid appetizer.

Next, I ordered a Caesar salad ($6)
and my husband decided to try the New
England clam chowder ($6), which he
remembered quite fondly from the old
Capt’n Butchers. This clam chowder was
a different story – more, my husband said,
like potato soup. As for my salad, it was
heavily drizzled with a dark balsamic – not
exactly what I was expecting in a Caesar.

Then for entrées, I opted for the shrimp
and grits ($24) and my husband decided to
go with the fish of the day, swordfish ($21).

The shrimp sautéed in redeye gravy
were served with cheese garlic grits topped
with rendered bacon and chives. This was
a great dish, the shrimp well prepared and
the sauce very tasty. My husband’s grilled
swordfish was a nice piece of fish, accom-
panied by rice and asparagus.

For dessert, we shared a slice of a house-
made cheesecake ($8).

Our dinner for two with a modest bottle
of wine came to $105, before tax and tip.

A few days later, we returned for a Satur-
day lunch, nursing memories of lunching
on the old Capt’n Butcher’s steamed clams,
lobster rolls, and fried shrimp and oyster Po

CAN YOU CORRECTLY USE YOUR CONVENTIONS? WEST NORTH EAST
Q 10 3 98654 J
By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist KQJ92 A7 10 8 3
J 10 5 743 A96
You probably have a copy of “25 Bridge Conventions You Should Know” by Barbara J3 972 K Q 10 8 6 5
Seagram and Marc Smith. Now comes a companion book, “Practice Makes Perfect”
by Seagram and David Bird (Master Point Press). In each of the 25 chapters, you get a SOUTH
précis of the convention followed by four instructive deals showing that convention in AK72
action. (It is a pity that each deal isn’t set as a 26-card problem first, but then the book 654
would be huge.) KQ82
A4
In this deal, how should South plan the play in three spades after West leads the heart
king? Dealer: South; Vulnerable: East-West

North used a transfer bid, showing five-plus spades and at least zero points! I think The Bidding:
South should have rebid three spades, a superaccept showing four-card support, a
doubleton somewhere and an excellent hand for play in spades. SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
1 NT Pass 2 Hearts Pass
Given the 3-1 spade break, the dummy (the long-trump hand) has six potential losers: 2 Spades Pass Pass 3 Clubs LEAD:
one spade, one heart, two diamonds and two clubs. One of North’s clubs can be ruffed 3 Spades Pass Pass Pass King Hearts
in the South hand, so declarer needs to find East with the diamond ace.

After winning with dummy’s heart ace, South should lead a diamond toward his hand.
Assuming East ducks, declarer wins with his king, takes his top trumps and returns a
heart. West wins, cashes the spade queen and shifts to the club jack, but South wins
with his ace, ruffs his last heart on the board and leads a second diamond toward his
hand to get home.

Master Point Press books are usually available in printed and PDF editions, the latter
being a tad cheaper.
