Goodwill comes to town

PALM CITY — Gulfstream Goodwill Industries must be doing something right.

The nonprofit, which serves persons with disabilities in Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River Okeechobee and Palm Beach counties through the sale of do-nated goods, has just opened its

27th and 28th stores. A store on Gatlin Boulevard has been open for a month and a Palm City store had its grand opening on March 1. Brian Edwards is director of

Company success tied to employee satisfaction

PALM CITY — Many employers know that stress takes a toll on employees. Few have a full-time massage therapist on staff to alleviate it. One of them is Op-tima Healthcare Solutions, a Palm City-based company that has been named a ”Best Place to Work” in Martin County four years in a row. In 2012, Florida Trend magazine named it one of the best places to work in Florida. Steve Mackie is president and

CEO of Optima. The compa-ny, which he founded in 1992, designs software to help nursing homes, assisted living facilities and rehabilitation clinics track the progress of patients and patient outcomes. Treating em-ployees well is part of the overall mission of the company. “My partners and I run the

company on three principles,” he said. “We want to have great soft-ware, give great customer service and be a great place to work. “We feel the only way to do

the first two is to have the best employees and the top talent. To attract top talent you need to create a great place to work by treating employees with respect and offering amenities that show

you value them.”A massage therapist is not the

only amenity offered. Optima employees have a fully stocked kitchen, catered lunches on Friday and a recreation room with pool tables, ping pong, and a lounge area. They also receive paid time off to volunteer at the Council on Aging’s Adult Day Center. “We serve the health care

industry,” Mackie said. “A lot of them are elderly. I really feel it’s important for my employees to connect with the elderly. (By volunteering,) they get to see how aging affects a person and a fam-ily. It helps our employees make the connection between what our software does and the struggles families face. It helps us design with more passion.”This year, Optima began an art

competition in local high schools. “Each year we pick a theme

to rally the company around,” Mackie said. “We create a T-shirt that we’ve designed. We thought it would be fun to go to the high schools in Martin County and offer a $3,000 scholarship to the winning student who designed the best T-shirt around the theme. We thought it was a prac-

Neighborhood advisory committees back in businessMARTIN COUNTY — The neigh-

borhood advisory committees are back, and the county will start taking applications for them. Kind of. At its Feb. 26 regular meeting,

the Martin County Board of Com-missioners voted to start accept-ing applications for the volunteer committees it disbanded in De-cember when it made changes to the Community Redevelopment Agency. Commissioner Sarah Heard, Port Salerno, dissented af-ter contentious discussion about how many people should be on the advisory committees, and who they should be.Commissioner Ed Fielding, Stu-

art, and others, said that by taking applications before deciding other issues would give the commission flexibility to fit committees to their individual needs. “What I’m suggesting would be

sort of a freewheel kind of appli-cation,” Fielding said. “Then we could sort through those things.” Heard disliked the suggestion,

predicting chaos will come of it

rather than options. “I think we seriously need to

address the composition of the boards before we advertise,” she said. The neighborhood advisory com-

mittees served in an advisory role to the Community Redevelop-ment Agency until December. The county commission disbanded the agency and assumed its role ad-ministering Martin’s seven Com-munity Redevelopment Areas.CRAs are special zones that keep

some property-tax dollars to fund projects to spur economic devel-opment for eliminating blight. In a CRA, county taxes paid on

property values higher than what they were the base year – when the area was established – stay in that district for economic develop-ment and blight elimination. The neighborhood advisory com-

mittees suggest and evaluate proj-ect proposals. The Community Redevelopment Agency must ap-prove them. In some counties and cities, commissions and councils serve as the redevelopment agen-cies, and in others the bodies are separated – usually with some overlap in membership. Not all

CRAs have neighborhood advisory committees. The Florida Legislature created

CRAs with the Community Rede-velopment Act in 1969. Commissioner John Haddox said

that as the county resumes the committees, the most important thing will be whether they can motivate broad discussions in the redevelopment areas. “Regardless of the makeup of the

board, I would ask that your first priority be to get 50, 60 people to your meetings,” he said. “My goal is to include a much broader spectrum of the communities that make up the CRAs.” Later in the meeting, Haddox was

elected vice chair of the county’s redevelopment agency. The seven redevelopment areas

are in Old Palm City, Golden Gate, Port Salerno, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, Indiantown, and Rio. Palm City’s redevelopment area, adopt-ed in 2002, includes 610 acres, and has about $1.3 million avail-able for projects. Improvements to Mapp Road are among the top priorities. In all, the county has about 8,600 acres of redevelop-ment areas.

Help for the horses

PALM CITY — It is the trans-formation process that keeps the volunteers at the Equine Rescue and Adoption Founda-tion coming back for more. “It’s very emotional to see

some of these animals who have been neglected or mis-treated,” said Marilynn Van-nucci, communications officer at the Palm City nonprofit that is dedicated to the rehabilita-tion and adoption of abandoned horses. “But it’s also very rewarding

to see how quickly they respond to good care and nutrition. In a matter of months, they’re com-pletely different animals.”

The Foundation will hold its annual fundraising event – Art in the Barn – on Saturday, March 9, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at its sanctuary facility at 6452 S.W. Markel St. in Palm City. Original artwork will be on sale at each of the barn’s 20 stalls with a portion of each sale go-ing to the foundation. “We really wanted an event to

showcase the work being done here, so we’re working with the Artists Association of Jupiter,” said Vannucci. The $50 admission price in-

cludes food, beer, wine and live music. A silent auction for such items as rounds of golf and meals at area restaurants will also benefit the Foundation. “We want people to come and

have fun with us,” Vannucci said. “It’s a party.” The Equine Rescue and Adop-

STUART — A mixed crowd of artists, envi-ronmentalists and birding enthusiasts packed Blue Water Editions Gallery in Port Salerno on Feb. 21 to honor the winners of the Audu-bon of Martin County A Bird’s Eye View Pho-tography Contest. More than 150 entries were received and

22 entries were honored in categories includ-ing Birds, Wilderness Landscapes, Flora & Fauna, Student Entries and a new category — Cell Phone Photography. The two highest honors, “Best of Show” and “People’s Choice Award” earned cash prizes of $300 each. The Best of Show Award was presented to

Palm City resident Lisa Renee Ludlum for

her photograph entitled “Nectar Delight.” The photo was taken using a Nikon D800. “Photography has been a hobby and some-

thing I’ve always wanted to pursue on a pro-fessional level,” Ludlum said. Winning three awards in the cell phone

photography category, Erika Turke opted to forgo her professional camera with its bells and whistles and instead use the cell phone camera that she had on hand. “I thought it would be fun and different

to enter in the cell phone category, and I’m thrilled to have been acknowledged.” The winning photographs will be displayed

and prints will be available for sale at the Blue Water Editions Gallery through March 7. This is the first year Audubon of Martin

County has held the photography contest, but the nonprofit plans to build upon the momen-tum generated its first year. “Our Audubon chapter’s goal is to protect

and conserve Martin County’s natural en-vironment, with a special focus on birds, through education, advocacy and public awareness,” said Fran Stewart, president of Audubon of Martin County. “By hosting this contest, we are encouraging people to explore and connect with the natural beauty around them and share it with others through their photographs.” For more information on Audubon of Martin

County, visit www.audubonmartincounty.org. To view entries, visit the contest website at www.birdhero.com.

marketing and development for Gulfstream Goodwill. He said that many factors go into the de-cision to open new stores, which lease the space they use.“There is a lot of planning and

months of looking at sites,” he said. “We see what’s available and affordable. We do surveys to see where people would like to have a store and where there are enthusiastic donors. We do a job of tracking that information.”The economy has been both a

challenge and a boon to business at the stores. “As a nonprofit, we do go

through the same struggles as other nonprofits,” Edwards said. “We have over 1,000 employees and we have to cover our costs. Our new stores are an expan-sion of our need to create more donations and sales so that we can expand our programs and services.“The facilities are a mechanism

built to create employment op-portunities for those with barriers to employment. It’s a win for the economy of the community and a win for our participants who receive services.” In the past 18 months to two

years, traffic at the stores has increased.

“With the down economy, we have seen more shoppers,” Edwards said. “We believe that enhancements in our stores and upgrading the stores and dona-tions have made us more of a competitive retail shopping out-let. We believe the public is more responsive and we’ve seen that some of the people are not only excited, but very appreciative.”While many people associate the

stores with less expensive cloth-ing and household items, the Good Geeks Computer Refur-bishing Department reconditions donated computers to bring them to like-new condition. They must pass several tests before they are sold to the public or institutions.The proceeds from the sale of

goods at the store go to serve a diverse population. Gulfstream Goodwill has programs to help those with physical injuries, the blind, hearing impairments, learning disabilities, cognitive impairments, psychiatric disabil-ities, developmental disabilities, at-risk youth, the homeless, people transitioning from welfare to work parolees and workers injured on the job. The organization provides a wide

array of services all free of charge to those who need them. The ser-vices include case management, work experience, job coaching,

computer skills, offender re-en-try, developmental disability services and a program to help secure Social Security benefits. It runs a charter school in Boyn-ton Beach, The Transition to Life Academy, that teaches the skills necessary for independence and self-sufficiency. Brian Edwards said that it is

sometimes difficult for the public to connect the stores with all the services Gulfstream Goodwill pro-vides. They may not realize how important the donations they make are to the organization’s mission. Edwards, who has been on the job 18 months, hopes to change that. “We’re trying to do a much

better job of thanking those who donate and shop,” he said.

Gulfstream Goodwill’s Palm City store is located at 3078 S.W. Martin Down Blvd. The new Port St. Lucie store is

located at 1082 Gatlin Blvd. To schedule a pick-up, donate

a car, boat or motorcycle or locate the nearest attended donation center, call (800) 257-3305. For information about The Good

in the line of duty on Feb. 28 doing what those close to him said God placed him on Earth to do: help and protect his fellow man.More than 4,000 attended the

viewing and service. Gov. Rick Scott and Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi were among those who attended to pay their respects.St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mas-

cara delivered a touching eulo-gy. He often spoke directly to Sgt. Morales’s two young daughters, Brooklynn and Jordan, who were seated near their father’s casket, which was draped in an American flag.“Every day your dad told us how

much he loved you,” said Mascara, who announced the Sheriff’s Office Training Complex will be named the Sgt. Gary Morales Training Complex. “He’s going to be watch-ing over you every day.”Throughout the service, Morales

was hailed as a hero, but most importantly as a loving father, husband, brother, son and uncle. Family and friends said Morales’s larger-than-life personality and electric smile won’t ever fade from their minds.Morales’s teenage nephew,

Nicholas Morales, gave the pub-lic a glimpse into the pain his grief-stricken family is expe-riencing. Nicholas said it’s a heart-wrenching thought that he’ll

never embrace his uncle again.“Me and my Uncle Gary had a re-

lationship like no other,” Nicholas said. “He was my best friend. We would crack jokes, play Xbox and just hang out.”“My Uncle Gary was the life of the

party. He liked to make his pres-ence known. Now he’s gone,” Nich-olas said. “It’s still so unreal to me that my uncle is (lying) in a casket,

but he died a hero.”One of Morales’s nieces sobbed as

she spoke directly to her departed uncle.“Uncle Gary, you’re a hero; you’re

my guardian angel; I love you. Rest in peace,” she said.St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Sgt.

Rob Pettit said he and Morales were so close, he named Morales the godfather of his third daugh-

ter. Pettit said Morales was a man who always put himself last and would give the shirt off his back to a stranger in need.“We only get a few true friends

“Gary was that type of friend.”“You’d ask him for anything and

you’d get the same response. ‘No problem. Anything I could do.’”“When I shaved my head in sup-

port of sick cancer kids, there was Gary right next to me shaving it all off,” said Pettit, who also described Morales as a comedian who always made people laugh when he would tie his shirt into a bikini top and stick his butt out. “He was gener-ous … He once gave me his car to drive to Memphis … he helped me move like three times. That says something.”

Pettit also divulged why fellow deputies called Morales “Foo,” which is short for “Foo-Foo.”“He was forever vain and forev-

er worried about his appearance,” said Pettit, who admired Morales’s “boyish good looks.”“He was always dressed sharp to

the nines. Never a hair out of place. That was Foo,” Pettit said. “We gave him that nickname because of the basket of sponges and lotions and powders he would carry with him in and out of the locker room.”Doug Miller, a Royal Palm Beach

Eriese Alphonso Tisdale

As the public said goodbye to its hero, Gary Morales’s accused kill-er, Eriese Alphonso Tisdale, 25, is being held without bond in a Mar-tin County jail for safety reasons. He is charged with first degree premeditated murder.In an arrest affidavit, Tisdale told

investigators he was going to the store when he noticed Morales was following him. Tisdale claims Morales pulled

him over and with his hand on his gun, ordered Tisdale to the ground. Tisdale said he pulled off in fear of his life because of Mo-rales’s tone and hand on his gun. Tisdale said Morales used his patrol car to ram him to another stop.The report states Morales called

in a pursuit the morning of Feb. 28 near Oleander Avenue in Fort Pierce. Morales had at least three gunshot wounds. One wound was to the side of the head, the report states. Morales was still seated in the driver’s seat of the patrol car

with his gun still in the holster when other deputies arrived at the scene, the report says. A criminal history check showed

Tisdale is a one-time convicted fel-on. In 2010, Tisdale was charged for possession of a controlled sub-stance without a prescription and for possession of marijuana with intent to sell.

ot Guard Riders, stood watch out-side with his fellow brothers, who formed an American flag line. The group frequently attends military deployments and funerals of vet-erans and law enforcement officers to show support, Miller said.“It breaks my heart because

they’re just doing their job,” the Vietnam Navy veteran said. “His service was very admirable. He put his life on the line for everybody.”“The Garys of the world are the

reason we can sleep safely at night,” Miller said.St. Lucie County Commissioner

Chris Dzadovsky said despite the clear skies outside, a dark cloud now hangs over the Treasure Coast.“It’s a sad day in St. Lucie Coun-

ty. The county has a heavy heart today,” he said. “We lost a local hero.”“It’s always sad to lose a first re-

sponder in any way shape or form, but in this case it was completely senseless,” Dzadovsky said. “Our hearts go out to the family and all other first responders.”Martin County Sheriff’s Lt. Bill

Dowdy said Morales’s death serves as a reminder of how dangerous the job really is.“This is a situation we could have

all found ourselves in, but today is all about Sgt. Morales and his family,” Dowdy said. “We’re here to show our support for them.”St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Sgt.

Brian Rhodes choked back tears as he remembered Morales.“Sgt. Morales is one of the finest

people I’ve known, not to mention one of the best law enforcement of-ficers I’ve ever met,” Rhodes said. “He was a good guy, a public ser-vant.”Port St. Lucie resident and former

New York City Police Department Officer Al Hickey said the spectac-ular show of support from law en-forcement officers from as far away as Chicago and Maine didn’t sur-prise him.“Law enforcement comes together

in tragic deaths like this. It breaks everyone’s hearts,” Hickey said. “Gary Morales was a great young man and a real hero.”Sgt. Gary Morales was a 12-year

veteran of the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office. The Bronx native served in the United States Air Force in 1995 when he was sta-tioned in San Antonio and was honorably discharged in 1999.During his military tenure,

Morales received the Air Force Achievement Medal, Outstanding Unit Award, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Overseas Long Tour Ribbon, Lon-gevity Service Award Ribbon and Air Force Training Ribbon.Morales joined the St. Lucie Coun-

ty Sheriff’s Office in October 2000. He holds a bachelor of arts degree and a Master’s degree in criminal justice from Keiser University.Morales served in Uniform Pa-

trol, School Resource, S.W.A.T. and Special Investigations and the Training Unit. He was a firearms, defensive tactics and driving in-structor. Morales also was a Cross-Fit instructor. His last assignment was in Uniform Patrol. He was pro-moted to sergeant Jan. 18.In 2001, he posed undercover as a

high school student in “Operation Safe Kid.” His efforts allowed the Sheriff’s Office to make 21 arrests on 73 charges ranging from drug violations to the removal of serial numbers from a firearm.“Sgt. Morales earned a reputation

for decisive action dealing with crimes in progress, investigative skill and compassion for victims of crime, as letters of commenda-tion in his file indicate,” sheriff’s spokesman Mark Weinberg said in a press release. His departmental honors includ-

ed four Unit Citations, three Ex-ceptional Duty and two Safe Driver awards.Morales is the first deputy killed

on the job since Master Deputy Steve Roberts was struck by an-other motorist in 1999.Members of the community lined

the streets to watch the 26-mile-long procession of several thou-sand cars to Forest Hills Memorial Park in Palm City where Morales was buried.

her sister, Connie Stevens of Geor-gia, stood on Okeechobee Road with American flags.“It breaks my heart,” Stevens said.

“We owe these first responders the respect and all the honor we can give them at a time like this,” Ste-vens said. “I think it’s just sad it has to take something like this for

us to show it.”Morales family friend and Port

St. Lucie resident Nora Candelario stood on Becker Road as the pro-cession passed. She remembered Morales as a loving spirit and the life of every event.“I was talking to his father a week

ago. He was a proud father,” she said. “He told me Gary made ser-geant.”“Gary was happy and always

smiling,” she said. “The minute he came around, his nephews and nieces just jumped around him.”

Tiger heartbreak

LAKELAND — It was within their grasp. The state championship game was in their sights. But the Martin County High

School boys basketball team’s hope to play for the school’s first

state title since 1979 came sec-onds short.Despite holding a slim lead in

the late stages of the contest, the Tigers saw their title dreams disappear following a crushing 53-50 loss to the hands of Evans High School out of Orlando in the 7A State Semifinal at the George Jenkins Arena in Lakeland last Friday afternoon. “We just came up short to-

night,” Martin County head coach John Leon said. “I’m just sad that these players have to go through

this, but they gave me everything tonight and have all season.”The favored Tigers (26-4) held a

slim 49-46 lead with 2:50 left in the fourth quarter when Leon sig-naled for a timeout. After break-ing the huddle, the Tigers chose to burn as many seconds off the game clock as possible, despite passing up many open opportuni-ties to score.The Tigers passed the ball

around the perimeter as Trojan (20-7) defense gave chase, burn-ing 74 seconds off of the game clock before senior Tiger guard Jermohn Queen missed a difficult reserve layup along the baseline. Evans forward Courtney William-sonbey converted on a tip-in to trim the Tiger lead to one with 1:24 remaining.Following a Martin County turn-

over, Williamsonbey trickled-in a short jumper in the paint with 54 seconds remaining. The field goal would prove to be the game-win-ning bucket. In the final minute of regulation,

the Tigers had four possessions to either tie the game or take the lead. On the first possession

since relinquishing the lead, Queen would lose the ball on a drive down the lane. Down two, Queen would then

get fouled and head to the free throw line with a chance to tie the score with 31.8 seconds remaining, but the senior leader would miss his first of two shots at the charity stripe. Evans repeated Queen’s effort at

the line, making one of two at the line. The Tigers would go for the win down two, but a Nick Marder corner three-point attempt was off the mark. Evans guard Maleek Smith grabbed the rebound from the missed shot and immediately was fouled. The Tigers had one last chance

to tie the game, but a Queen three-point shot was blocked. The shot finished off what was a nightmare game for the point guard, who made one of his nine field goal attempts. Queen, who led the team in scoring during the season (22.5 points per game), had only 5 points, thanks to being saddled in foul trouble and playing less than 14 minutes the

entire game.As time expired, the Evans play-

ers sprinted toward their bench in ecstasy while the Tigers limped off the court in dejection, many players covering their face and wiping the tears away from their red eyes. Despite the disappointment, the

Tigers gave the victors credit.“Hats off to them,” Leon said.

“They made the buckets when they needed. They made their free throws. We missed some. That’s the way it goes sometimes.”Evans guard Prince Atkins led

all scores with 13 points. Denson Lumene led the Tigers with 11 points. Despite Martin County jump-

ing out to a 14-5 lead in the first quarter, it was a back and forth battle throughout. The score was tied at halftime and the end of the third quarter. The difference in the game was

simply the difference in size be-tween the two teams. The Trojans

featured several players with a height advantage over the Tigers’ tallest player, 6-foot 5-inch Trey Graham. Although the rebounding bat-

tle was close (Evans-36, Martin County-33), the advantage man-ifested in the interior. Of Evans’ 53 points, 47 of the points came in either in the paint or on the free throw line. The Tiger players and coaches

were not the only who left Lake-land disappointed. Two charter buses were provided to Martin County students to travel to the game. In addition to Martin County High School Principal Al Fabrizio, athletic director Greg Hendricks, many parents and members of the Tigers faithful made the two-hour trip to Lake-land. The Tiger fans outnumbered

their opponent’s fan base by a 4-1 margin, making their pres-ence known with every loud roar.The next day, Evans would lose

to Blanche Ely High School out of Pompano Beach 58-50 in the 7A State Championship Game.

tical way for students to be creative. “We also gave $1,000 to the art de-

partments of each of the participating schools. During budgetary cuts, art and music are the first things cut.” Sarah Mennuto of Palm City, daughter

of Stan and Sandra Mennuto, and a junior at the Clark Advanced Learning Center, was the contest winner. She took her inspiration from a familiar symbol.“The theme was simplicity,” she said.

“I was inspired by the Coca-Cola logo. It’s so simple, but everybody knows it. It’s simple but memorable.”Mackie said that the winning entry

personified the theme. “I felt that it really conveyed it,” he

said. “It’s a simple, elegant design that says ‘Let’s just keep it simple this year.’”Optima now has an office in Atlanta

and Mackie spends a lot of time on the road, keeping in touch with customers. That suits the former programmer well. “I enjoy what I do,” he said. “I do enjoy

talking to customers, understanding their problems and turning it over to a younger generation. Technology at that level has passed me by.”Moving forward, the company has big

plans. “We hope to move internationally, spe-

cifically into Asian markets,” he said. “If the U.S. has an aging problem, Asia has it even more so. We feel it will be a good fit. I hope it will continue to create more jobs in Palm City.”

tion Foundation was estab-lished in 2000 and initially functioned as a foster care program in Jupiter Farms. “There was a big need

for rescue at that time,” Vannucci said. “A lot of it had to do with the econo-my. People were losing jobs and their properties. Some horses were just turned loose. Some were seized by the sheriff’s (office). People took in horses until a home could be found for them.” In 2006, the Foundation

moved to its Palm City lo-cation, thanks to a lease for a nominal annual fee from the Pegasus Foundation. The all-volunteer founda-tion has 23 acres of room for its boarders to roam at the Markel Street sanctuary with a barn of 20 stalls. Volunteers muck stalls,

groom horses and clean the barns. Some bring their children who help with the grooming and exercise of the horses. “The volunteers are abso-

lutely the backbone of the organization,” Vannucci said. And all those involved get

to witness that transfor-mation process. Vannucci worked with a mare named Morning Star who was nearly dead when she was rescued last year. “She came here in July

and she was just a bag of bones,” Vannucci said. “We got her adopted out in Oc-tober and you would never know she was the same horse. It was amazing.” Vannucci said that the

Foundation checks out the adopting organization to make sure it’s a good fit for the horse. Still, she said that saying goodbye to Morning Star was like part-ing with an old friend. “She went to a wonderful

facility,” Vannucci said. “So do you cry when they leave? Yes, you do. But they’re happy tears.”

PALM CITY — Representing five area high schools, 18 mem-bers of the Junior Program of the Treasure Coast Rowing Club recently competed in the 6th Annual Opening Day Regatta in Fellsmere. The race included participants from 11 clubs and schools in 64 boats. The spring rowing season features sprint races which are 1500 meters. The club’s Men’s Varsity four-

man boat won a silver medal with a time of 5:33.95. In the stroke seat for the boat was Alex Pfieffer (The Pine School) and Maggie Martin (South Fork High School) was the coxswain. Also rowing in the boat were Mitch-el Hochman, Devin Curran and Mitchell Gordon, all students at Martin County High School. This race took place in heats through-out the day with winners ad-vancing to the next round. In a day that began at 7:30 a.m., the rowers had to race three sepa-rate times in windy conditions to secure their second-place finish at 4 p.m. Founded in 1991, the Trea-

sure Coast Rowing Club began as a masters club with most members being over the age of

27. In the spring of 2010, the juniors became part of the club offering a competitive program on the Treasure Coast for high school students. Open to males

and females, with seasons in the fall and spring, the program aims to be competitive at the state level. For more information about the Juniors, contact Kris-

ten Swayze at [email protected] or Stefanie Falkner at [email protected] or visit the club website at www.treasurecoastrowingclub.com.

Long Putter–Short Putter

Larry’s Golf Tips

of the Week

More tips to follow in

coming weeks.

ARE YOU READY FOR LAORETTI?

If I were a betting man I would bet that the U.S.G.A, The R&A, and all the tours will not I repeat will not ban the use of ling belly putters that contact

your body. We have been using them for over 15 years. Those that don’t use them are happy.

The people that use them, love them.

We are trying very hard to make the game more enjoyable and to attract new players and keep our older generation still enjoying the

game, so why disrupt a good thing?

Let’s make a new rule, if everyone thinks the long or belly putter gives you a distinct advantage. Everyone must use one – no more short putters…ha ha ha.

So keep your putters whether long or short – enjoy the game

Reopening celebration for Martin County High School auditorium set for March 11

The work is complete and the curtain is ready to rise again in the Martin County High School auditorium. Now, the school is planning a gala celebration to mark the reopening of the Wan-da H. Yarboro Performing Arts Center. The event will be held on

Monday, March 11 at 7 p.m. and will include performances by the Martin County High School Band, Drama and OPUS. Tickets are $10 with the proceeds benefiting the performing arts programs. “We’re excited about the re-

opening of the auditorium! We would like to thank our superin-tendent, Mrs. Laurie Gaylord, and the entire School Board for their support. We look forward to our theater, choral, and band pro-grams having the opportunity to display the talents of our amaz-ing students in our renovated facility,” said Al Fabrizio, Martin County High School principal.

The auditorium had been closed since January 2012 after a fire caused extensive smoke and water damage. In addition to repairs and remediation ef-forts, work was also necessary to comply with current building and safety codes. “We know that the reopening

of the auditorium has been a long time coming, but believe it was worth the wait. It looks incredi-ble. Everyone did a great job not only repairing the damage, but making the auditorium better than ever,” Superintendent Lau-rie Gaylord said. “We appreciated the patience of the school staff, students and families. Everyone worked as a team to identify al-ternate venues for performances and practices while the work was being completed. We’re looking forward to having students take the stage again in their very own auditorium

Mark Anthony Zollo, owner and head

chef at Cornerstone Bistro fires up a

gourmet order of shrimp during the dinner hour at the restaurant across

from Tesoro on Becker Road.


The Cornerstone Bistro a diamond in the rough forPalm City, Port St. Lucie

PORT ST. LUCIE — The Corner-stone Bistro, tucked away right here in the suburbs of the Trea-sure Coast, exudes the style and sophistication of a swanky New York City eatery.Situated in Veranda Falls, a min-

ute’s walk from The Tesoro Club – the area’s premier private mem-bership club – the top-quality fine dining restaurant serves patrons an array of dishes from pasta and seafood to steak prepared to per-fection. Each dish is made fresh

on-site, service specialist Michael Livermore said.“Everything is made to order from

scratch,” Livermore said. “If some-body has allergies or if they don’t like something, we can make a dish specifically for them.”A recommended dish for start-

ers is the imported cheese platter served with fresh strawberries, candied walnuts and raisins and an assortment of delectable chees-es, including Fontina, import wine cheese and an aged parmesan. A must-order appetizer is the

shrimp ceviche, prepared with a

twist from owner and head chef Mark Anthony Zollo. It’s a depar-ture from what one would regu-larly expect from the classic dish.“It’s not your traditional ceviche,

which is made with tequila and white wine,” Livermore said. “This is cooked with just lime and lem-on juice. It has fresh herbs, green pepper, red pepper, a little red onion and cucumber with a little olive oil.”The Cornerstone Bistro opened

its doors four years ago and al-ready boasts a stellar reputation as one of the area’s finest restau-

rants. “It’s just off the beaten path. It’s

a hidden gem – a diamond in the rough,” Zollo said. Zollo said his patrons travel from

all around the Treasure Coast to sample his creative and expan-sive menu.“We’re having a lot of fun. I

would say 40 percent of our clien-tele are new,” Zollo said. “They’re from Palm City, PGA and Vero.”Zollo said his location in the Ve-

randa Falls, which includes cas-cading waterfalls and an upscale ambiance, is a prime location for a peaceful evening out.

Doctor melds music and medicine

ST. LUCIE WEST — Ron Grober is a Treasure Coast institution. The retired orthopedic surgeon has mended a lot of broken bones in our area. Many of his patients and local jazz enthusi-asts also know him as the driv-ing force behind the jazz band Doc Grober and the Mudcats. The group makes a return visit to the Lyric stage on March 14. Grober put himself through

the University of Pennsylvania playing the piano, but medical school and the long process of becoming a surgeon took him away from music for many years.Several years ago, the Pelican

Yacht Club in Fort Pierce needed a fill-in band for an event. Grob-er said he could put a group together for a one-time gig. The group didn’t even have a name, so the club manger came up with the name Mudcats, a cat-fish indigenous to Mississippi. The name and the band stuck. The group has performed at the Lyric for many years.Just back from a Colorado ski

trip, Grober spent some time talking about the upcoming concert. “This is a tribute to New Or-

leans,” he said. “It’s a swing-ing program and a very special Mudcats show. It’s different from anything we’ve done. “We’ll do some of the music

from Mardi Gras and a New Or-

leans jazz funeral. We’ll play ‘flag wavers’ like ‘The South Ram-part Street Parade’ and ‘When the Saints Go Marching in.’ It’s toe-tapping and it’s all entertain-ment.”Grober will intersperse some

commentary about New Orleans and the history of jazz in that city, but he stressed that it is not a lecture and he does it with a light touch. “I try to briefly highlight the

history of music in New Orleans. The comments are tiny color highlights. People are coming to hear the music and that’s what we’re going to focus on.”In addition to Doc Grober on

piano, the band is made up of Bob Leary, a guitar player who does some novelty tunes; Jim Snyder, the clarinet player, who played with Al Hirt in New Orleans; Davy Jones on trum-pet; Pat Gullotta on trombone, Jerry Mueller on bass and Greg Parnell on drums. In the last few years, Grober has invited singer Natalie Jackson to perform.“She’s an absolutely sensation-

al blues singer who sang with us last year and basically owned the whole house,” he said. “The people who were there last year will never forget her and the peo-ple who are hearing her for the first time are in for a treat. She’s remarkable and I don’t say that about many singers.” Jackson will perform several

hymns, as well as “The St. Louis Blues” and “I Wish I Could Shimmy Like my Sister Kate.” “I heard her perform

some years ago,” Grober said. “I walked in and she was singing. She has passion and style and integrity and respect for how to present the music she is performing.”Most of his concerts play

to full houses, but the doctor doesn’t take that for granted.“I feel like I’m sharing

something I love with others,” he said. I get to share something that makes me happy in the hopes that it makes them happy. I want to do a good job.”

every facet of the bistro, from the custom-made seating to the impressive design of his fully stocked bar.And his seasoned cooking skills

are especially apparent in his creative entrée selection.The seafood alla vodka is a com-

pilation of scallops, shrimp and Maine lobster mixed in a pink vodka sauce with penne pasta.One of Zollo’s most raved-about

entrees is his butter-soft double cut stuffed pork chop with apple and pear chutney.PGA Village resident and restau-

rant regular Bill Willigan said the pork chop is his favorite dish, hands down.“It’s just outstanding,” Willigan

said, who was accompanied by his wife, Carol. “It’s like dining in New York.”“I tell a lot of my friends about

this restaurant and they keep coming back,” he said. The restaurant offers a Sunset

Dining Special from 5 p.m.-6 p.m. $17.95 plus tax and tip per person. Includes one alcoholic beverage (draft beer, house wine, well drink, soft drink or coffee), a house salad or soup of the day, one entrée and a dessert.The Cornerstone Bistro is located

at 848 S.E. Becker Road in Port St. Lucie. Hours of operation are 5 p.m.-9 p.m. on weekdays and 5 p.m.-10 p.m. on weekends. Reser-vations are suggested. To make a reservation, call (772) 785-5220.
