Greg Oravec wins mayor race; ready to get started Brandon Zeris STAFF WRITER
bzeris@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PORT ST. LUCIE — Greg Oravec will be back in City Hall. Oravec secured nearly 61 percent of vote, winning 30 of 31 precincts over incumbent JoAnn Faiella to become Port St. Lucie’s next mayor. Oravec said he hopes to make transition a smooth one and to get started on
his platform as soon as possible. “My first order of business is to go in and carry out my plan for the future. I posted it on Facebook since the start, and the thinking on that doesn’t change. A phrase I like to use is ‘lining them up and knocking them down,’” he said. Among his first pieces of business is to establish a series of committees to help the city conduct its business more

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Treasure Coast residents got a chance to make their opposition known Nov. 6 at the Port St. Lucie Civic Center via written statement or through a stenographer about the proposed All Aboard Florida passenger railway service that will make 32 daily passes along the Treasure Coast without a stop. The opportunity was one of three for Treasure Coast residents to attend a public comment period meeting. The other two were held Oct. 30 in Stuart and Nov. 5 in Vero Beach. There will be eight such meetings at venues near the route from Miami to Orlando by the time the 75-day public comment period is concluded. People were able to talk to All Aboard Florida and Federal Department of Transportation representatives to get questions answered. Many concerns were answered by representatives, but, ultimately, people were urged to write everything down for the powers that be at the federal level to read them. Some thought their written complaints would be nothing more than kindling while All Aboard Florida’s plans would get approved as-is. “This whole format was a waste of time,” Marian Anderson of St. Lucie West said. “I think this whole thing was set up to keep us quiet.” Kevin Thompson, Federal Railroad Administration spokesman, said each person’s statements will be read. “I assure you that they are. The law requires us to go through all of the comments. We keep them all on a public docket that will be online and accessible to everyone once we issue the final environmental impact study,” he said. Thompson said the meeting format was chosen to create an open dialogue for people to ask and answer questions. “A dialogue with the government is more productive

PGA VILLAGE — When he was young, Dr. Darrell Lee’s mother worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, one of the nation’s premier cancer facilities. “I volunteered at the pediatric playroom,” he said. ‘There were young kids with cancer tumors on their face. They would need major reconstruction. I think that the early exposure led me to my career path.” Lee went on to graduate from New York Medical College and completed a fellowship in plastic surgery at the Mayo Clinic. Today the board-certified plastic surgeon is an ambassador of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, official plastic surgeon of the St. Lucie Mets, president-elect of the medical staff at St. Lucie Medical Center, where he served as chief of surgery and medical director of the St. Lucie Wound Care Center. He has not forgotten how his early experiences affected his career choice and he is involved with the Boys & Girls clubs, where he started a pilot program for local businesses to open the doors to kids. “They can see and be hands-on and see what opportunities there are for the future,” he said. “They may not know what there is out there or what goes into an occupation.

ST. LUCIE WEST — St. Lucie West Centennial quarterback Javid Ellis had perhaps his greatest game in his high school football career, leading his team to a 34-6 victory against Port St. Lucie in each team’s final game of the year. Ellis, a senior, led all players with 265 offensive yards, with 237 of those coming on rushing attempts. He finished with two rushing touchdowns and another passing score to help his team secure the city championship trophy for the first time in four years. “It means a lot, especially going out like this in our last game here. It’s been a blast, and this win means everything. I wish we could have beaten Central or Vero and gotten to playoffs, but it’s just a great win,” Ellis said. “It was very important to us, and I’m just glad I could do it with this group of guys. It’s the icing on the cake.” Centennial (3-6, 1-2 in the division) got its first score on a 2-yard run just over four minutes

South Florida peninsula vulnerable to loss of electric service T
he picture of the terror group ISIS that most Americans have in their heads is that of a knife-wielding masked man in black towering over a kneeling, orange-garbed hostage whom he is about to behead. But there is another picture Americans, and particularly Floridians, should consider that ultimately could be even more terrifying: the utter chaos and fallout that would result in terrorists attacking our power supply. This article focuses on the Florida Peninsula’s vulnerability to loss of electric power resulting from an armed attack similar to the one on an electrical substation in California. Shortly before 1 a.m. on April 16, 2013, terrorists cut AT&T fiber optic lines to knock out phone and 911 service to the PG&E Metcalf, California (near San Jose) electrical transmission substation. This was the start of an armed assault on the substation. During a period of 20 minutes after the communication lines were cut, over 100 AK-47 type rounds were shot at the large transformers in the substation. They were shot through the chain link fence that “guards” the substation. The attack had been carefully planned and resulted in extensive damage to 17 massive transformers in the substation; the loss of 52,000 gallons of transform-

Summarizing the damage, in a Feb. 7 letter to regulatory authorities, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, and three Democratic colleagues wrote: “This incident came uncomfortably close to causing a shutdown of a critical substation, which could have resulted in a massive blackout in California and elsewhere in the West.’’ For detailed information on that attack, Google: “Assault on California Power Station …” by Rebecca Smith, The Wall Street Journal, Feb. 5, 2014.

this was the first armed attack on a utility substation — an attack that some believe could be a prelude to future attacks on the electric grid throughout the country — perhaps a trial run of what could be a coordinated attack on many electrical transmission substations by ISIS jihadists. Recently, Jeh Johnson, Secretary of Homeland Security, noted that owners of critical infrastructure (like electric utility substations) should be “vigilant” in protecting against attacks by individuals or small groups of terrorists. We face a real and potentially life-threatening threat. Substation vulnerability The result of a successful attack on a substation could be a long-term blackout. The primary reason for the “long-term,” is the time necessary to repair damage to the transformers located in the substations. Substations contain multiple gigantic transformers (weighing as much as 250 tons). Substation transformers are not easily replaced: they are very expensive, custom-built, and only a few companies make them. Consequently, if they require replacing, it can take considerable time — potentially resulting in long-term power outages lasting weeks or months. To obtain a detailed analysis of the country’s vulnerability to attack, Google: “U.S. Risks National Blackout From Small-Scale Attack. Federal Analysis Says Sabotage of Nine Key Substations Is Sufficient for Broad Outage,” by Rebecca Smith, The Wall Street Journal, March 12, 2014. Why electric service in Florida’s peninsula is particularly vulnerable to attack Electrical service to Florida’s peninsula is particularly vulnerable first, because the peninsula is basically limited to a single north-south electrical transmission grid. By contrast, most states have multiple grids that run east-west as well as northsouth. Multiple grids provide grid operators with added flexibility. Second, Florida uses a lot of electricity. During 2012, Florida ranked third after Texas and
California in the use of electricity. Much of the electricity is used for air conditioning — a necessity for living in southern Florida. Finally, Florida’s peninsula is about 400 miles long and its population distribution is skewed very heavily to the south. A longterm blackout in Florida’s peninsula could lead to extreme hardship and significant loss of life in southern Florida — particularly for senior citizens. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that the grid (and, particularly the grid’s major substations) be protected from disabling attacks like the one in Metcalf, Calif. Should you be concerned? Yes. Residents of Port St. Lucie, Martin County and other southern counties live in an area that is at high risk for long-term electrical outages. Electricity is southern Florida’s lifeblood. A sustained power outage would not only result in loss of life, but would also severely impact the economy. Real estate prices would likely tank, and there would likely be infestations of unpleasant and potentially disease-carrying vermin, as well as the potential for growth of mold and mildew. That is not a very pretty picture. Although there may never be another assault on a substation, we need to take a proactive position to 1) assure Florida’s grid and critical substations are protected and 2) assure action is taken to guarantee the ongoing availability of life necessities (water, vehicle fuel, food) during a long-term power outage so that suffering and loss of life can be minimized. Good news first The Florida Division of Emergency Management is very aware of the potential risk of a terrorist attack on Florida substations and addressing it. That is a positive. The author gratefully acknowledges the assistance provided by Florida Division of Emergency Management in the preparation of this article. The one bit of particularly good news is water and sewerage. Water is absolutely essential for survival — and particularly for seniors, who may not realize when they are becoming dehydrated. Sewerage treatment is also essential. Untreated sewerage is an invitation to illness and death.

become owners.” Dr. Lee performs cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, particularly after breast cancer surgery. The latter has changed dramatically in the last 30 years. “Expectations have changed,” he said. “In the old days, the goal was to look good in clothes. Now it’s to look good naked. I recently had a patient in her 30s who had a bilateral mastectomy with nipple sparing. The breast tissue was removed but we kept the nipple in place. The breasts look better now than before.” Dr. Lee also does facial reconstruction, both to accident victims and cancer patients. “There was a patient who was in a car accident and had a bad injury to her upper lip with poor scarring,” he said “She had no insurance. A patient saw her at the makeup counter in the mall and gave her my card. I operated on her and she looks great.” Dr. Lee also does wound care that is sometimes a complication of knee or hip replacement surgery. He will bring in muscle or fascia tissue to help close the wound. He also works closely with dermatologists after skin cancer removal to make sure that the wound closes and heals properly, with minimal scarring. In addition to his work with the

Boys & Girls Clubs, Dr. Lee is involved with the Rosann Gregory Cancer Foundation. Giving back to the community is a family affair. Daughter Shaina recently celebrated her eighth birthday, and announced she didn’t want presents, but wanted gifts to go to the Humane Society. “Two years ago, we adopted our dog, Delilah, at the Humane Society in St. Lucie County,” Dr. Lee said. “When she was preparing for her birthday, Shaina said she wanted to use her birthday money to buy presents for the dogs at the Humane Society. “We got a dog two years ago,” Shaina said. “I had all the gifts I needed, and I asked my mom if I could give the food, bones, treats and toys to the dogs.” At the Humane Society, Shaina and her family got a tour. “We gave big bones to the big dogs, and there were lots of little puppies,” Shaina said. Tricia Lee, Shaina’s mom, said she and her husband are very proud of Shaina. “It was honestly and truly her idea,” she said. “Instead of presents, she wanted to give back. I think it’s great. We like to give back. I hope she’ll always do that.” Dr. Darrell Lee’s office is at 525 N.W. Lake Whitney Place in St. Lucie West.

ORAVEC from page A1 efficiently, he said. Among those are reconvening the Budget Advisory Committee, which was put on halt in 2011; creating task forces for small business and job creation; a permitting, fees and regulations improvement committee and others for the City Center, Digital Domain, sober homes and sidewalk construction. “There’s a number of pressing issues the city is working on, and we want to make the transition seamless,” he said. Oravec worked for the city for about 10 years, most recently in 2013 as city manager. His employment ended when he entered a separation agreement with the city after he released 85 pages of documents, including letters and emails, that suggested council members wanted to oust him. The release led to a state investigation that resulted in Faiella and council members Ron Bowen and Shannon Martin receiving civil infractions for violating open records laws. Martin paid her fine, and Faiella’s charge was dismissed because the timeframe for her right to a speedy trial had been exceeded. Oravec said he’s not worried about past differences with em-
ployees with whom he worked in the past. “The fundamental relationship has changed. I think people will ask how that will look,” he said. “I have a very good relationship with Michelle Berger and Shannon Martin. (Linda) Bartz is a very respectable councilwoman … Mr. Bowen is a former Marine and has served on the council. He understands service.” Oravec had outraised Faiella in the months leading up to the election, receiving $97,856, compared with her $89,393. The race wasn’t decided because of money, Oravec said. “We raised 9.5 percent more, but got 50 percent more votes … it was our values and hard work,” he said. Oravec will be sworn in as mayor at 7 p.m. Nov. 17 at City Hall.

CENTENNIAL from page A4 into the first quarter and didn’t surrender its lead the rest of the way. About four minutes later, Ellis took off on a quarterback keeper for 69 yards before getting tackled at Port St. Lucie’s 5-yard line. Two plays later, he tossed a swing pass to running back Basil Bradshaw, and he plunged his way into the right side of the end zone. An extra point brought the lead to 13-0. Port St. Lucie (1-7) punted the ball on the next possession after failing to convert a first down. Punter Donald Delahaye booted the ball 68 yards, pinning Centennial on its own 1-yard line. Oddly, just two plays later, on third down, Centennial opted to punt. Four plays later, Port. St. Lucie got its first score on a Delahaye 50-yard field goal that cleared the uprights by about 10 yards. Delahaye added another field goal with 5:11 left in the half on what should have been third down. The referees mistakenly took a down away from Port St. Lucie on a penalty three plays earlier. Centennial stuck to its game plan the rest of the way, relying on Ellis and Bradshaw to power through Port St. Lucie’s defense. Just before the half ended, Bradshaw took a handoff from Ellis at

Port St. Lucie’s 8-yard line, broke a tackle and spun off another defender for a touchdown, bringing the halftime score to 20-6. Ellis got his second rushing touchdown on a 20-yard run in the third quarter, and Bradshaw pushed his way through a crowd of defenders in the fourth quarter to get his second rushing touchdown, capping off season scoring. The game had extra sentimental value for Centennial head coach Ron Parker because he coached his son, senior safety Aaron Parker, in his final game. “It’s been great coaching the kid … he’s been better than expected. He’s really come on and done well,” he said, noting that Aaron had over 100 tackles for the second straight year. “I’m so proud of him,” he said. “I told him, ‘You’re better than I was. I was quicker than you, but you’re better than I was.” Ron Parker said he told the players to give it their all for their last game and treat it like a playoff game. “All the frustrations in the last game, I told them to take it all out here, because this is it. They’ve got to enjoy it,” he said. “I am happy, believe it or not. I wish we could play next week, but we can’t. We didn’t take care of business. But, this is a great ending note for the senior class.”

ST.

Ardie Ray Copas, on Saturday, Nov. 8, at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens, Fort Pierce. About 75 attended the ceremony. Some were locals; others came from all over the United States.

Dennis Pickle, district manager of the St. Lucie West Services District, provided very reassuring information about water and sewer service during an extended blackout. The District management is well aware of the potential for a long-term power outage, is prepared for an outage, and is augmenting its preparation. During an extended power outage, the District could provide potable water to customers; it has backup electrical generation and has both immediate and longterm access to fuel for generation. Pickle noted that most water suppliers have backup electrical systems as well as access to fuel supplies. In addition, the District has an interlocal agreement with the city of Port St. Lucie whereby the city can supply the District in an emergency situation. Such agreements between water companies are common throughout southern Florida. The District also provides sewage treatment. In the event of a power outage, its facilities include large portable generators to supply power to the sewerage lift stations on a rotational basis and it could rent additional generators if needed. The sewerage treatment plant also has its own backup electrical generation. Teirra King representing AGL Resources (Florida City Gas), whose service area includes Martin and St. Lucie counties, assured that “Generally speaking, natural gas should be available if the power grid fails because our natural gas distribution system does not require (electrical) power to operate. It is unlikely that residential natural gas customers would experience any service disruptions.” However, she declined to answer a key question: If all the home and business backup generators powered by natural gas in a large region are operated at the same time (24/7) for an extended period (weeks or months), is Florida City Gas capable of providing the gas to meet this demand plus its normal demand? Anyone who owns or is considering the purchase of a permanent backup generator should be provided with the answer. Bad news Obtaining fuel for vehicles could be extremely difficult during a long blackout. This would represent an enormous problem. The 2013 Florida Statutes, Title XXXIII, Chapter 526, Section 143, “Alternate generated power capacity for motor fuel dispensing facilities” (available online), describes the requirements for gas stations. It appears that most gas stations must be prewired with appropriate wiring and an electri-
WWW.YOURVOICEWEEKLY.COM cal transfer switch to “be capable of operating all fuel pumps, etc. … using an alternate generated power source.” So far, so good. But the requirement that gas stations actually have on-site generators is all but missing. For example, paragraph (5)(a) of the statute requires, “Each corporation or other entity that owns 10 or more motor fuel retail outlets located within a single county shall maintain at least one portable generator that is capable of providing an alternate generated power source as required for every 10 outlets.” Author’s opinion: This requirement is woefully inadequate. At least one-third of all gas stations should have permanent backup generators that are regularly maintained and capable of providing sufficient electricity for all pumping and other needs. No News Florida Power & Light (FPL) is the largest utility in Florida (servicing over 4.4 million customers). It provides electricity along Florida’s east coast (including the Treasure Coast), south Florida (including Miami), and the west coast up to the Manatee area. Bill Orlove, senior communications specialist at FPL, said, “We have received inquiries from you regarding the electric grid. We appreciate your interest on this subject, however we are unable to provide any comments.” In fairness to FPL, some of the information about utility grids is being classified. It probably should have been along ago. Why provide our nation’s enemies with information about our vulnerabilities, and how we are reducing them? Furthermore, FPL should be credited with having completed an $800 million Energy Smart Florida grid upgrade that includes a transmission performance and diagnostic center monitoring 500 substations remotely. That is very positive. There may, however, be another even more important reason that FPL refused to comment. It is this: the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, or NERC. What Is NERC? The NERC is a not-for-profit, utility-dominated entity that oversees and regulates the reliability of the North American electrical grids. It is the federally recognized Electric Reliability Organization. This means that it is responsible for developing and enforcing reliability standards. It includes addressing events and identifiable risks, thereby improving the reliability of the bulk power system.

THANKSGIVING
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (that provides oversight to NERC) gave the industry until early June 2014 to propose new standards for the security of critical facilities, such as substations. The Florida Reliability Coordinating Council (FRCC) is one of eight regional entities located in North America delegated authority by NERC to insure reliability in North America. The area of the state of Florida that is within the FRCC Region is peninsular Florida, east of the Apalachicola River. This area is where we live. Stacy Dochota is president of FRCC. When contacted, she refused to provide any information relating to FRCC’s efforts to assure residents of Florida’s peninsula that the grid is adequately protected from attack.
OPEN HOUSE
Progress in securing the substations? About a year after the attack on the PG&E Metcalf, Calif., substation, NERC released a proposal for actions utilities should take to increase the electrical grid’s security. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission determined the proposal was inadequate and requested that the weaknesses be addressed. It appears that progress in securing substations has been slow. There are a number of approaches that can be taken, but they all are expensive and will result in increases in the cost of electricity. It is important to note, however, that the same Metcalf, Calif., substation that was previously attacked, was targeted again on Aug. 27, 2014; this time by intruders who cut fencing at the site and stole construction equipment being used for security upgrades.

Call to action The public deserves to know that steps are being taken to secure critical substations in the Florida peninsula. We do not need to know the details being taken since this should be classified information. However, we should demand that the state government provide us with the general plan for securing the Florida peninsula’s grid and provide regular updates indicating progress in completing the plan. At minimum, the state must require that the critical substations in Florida be protected from attack. However, regardless of the steps taken and the money spent to protect substations and grid infrastructure, there still may be long-term power outages. Nothing is perfect. Ships still sink; trains derail. And, climate change may
WWW.YOURVOICEWEEKLY.COM result in tragic storms like hurricane Sandy. This storm left seniors stuck in high-rise buildings in New York City, left without power or use of elevators. Consequently, we need legislation that will assure the availability of necessary resources if there is a long-term power outage. The legislation should focus first on assuring the availability of potable water for everyone, including those occupying buildings of all heights. Second, we must rewrite the legislation pertaining to the availability of vehicle fuel. This will likely be fought by the gas station owners. But, readily available vehicle fuel is absolutely essential. Without it, southern Florida will come to a standstill. Third, we need access to food. This likely will require that supermarkets have backup generators with the capacity to provide for all power requirements including refrigeration. Fourth, we must assure the availability of natural gas to fuel backup generators 24/7. Fifth, we must require that all residential buildings that have elevators also have backup generating systems to power those elevators in the event of a power outage. Sixth, we need to provide backup power for traffic lights at primary intersections. All of the items listed above are important, and others can be added to the list. Who to contact The Florida Peninsula grid’s safety is extremely important. We need to apply pressure particularly on our representatives in Congress and the Senate. They must require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to insist that utilities adequately protect their substations and other vulnerable grid components.

RAILWAY from page A1 than sort of a one-way communication where citizens come in, they make a statement and the government sits, we listen, and everybody goes home,” he said. “The process itself is meant to identify known adverse impacts. We learn more of those adverse impacts by having a dialogue.” Thompson said the comments will be read and grouped based on the type of complaint and factor them into the new draft. “There are two big messages here are one: this is a work in progress. It’s not done yet … and No. 2: we do want public input. We heavily rely upon it.” Anderson said an acceptable alternative would be for the company to change its plans and use existing tracks that run through Okeechobee County. Adrian Share, representative for HNTB Corporation, the infrastructure management firm for All Aboard Florida, said three other routes that seem to be more acceptable to Treasure Coast residents were considered but weren’t good choices, logistically and financially. One of those is a route cutting through Okeechobee County using a rail not owned by All Aboard Florida or any of its affiliated companies, called the CSX Railroad. “It’s not the preferred alternative. What’s preferred is to run the FEC corridor (the one along the coast),” Share offered. “CSX has been considered. The Turnpike has been considered, I-95 has been considered, and they are not viable. This is viable. “I-95 and the Turnpike get discarded pretty quickly because it’s billions of dollars in infrastructure to build them. CSX is a combination of infrastructure needs plus opera-

Jenene and Darrell Hoyer, a St. Lucie West Couple, attended the meeting partly to find out whether All Aboard Florida executives had
plans to benefit the Treasure Coast. The project would be annoying to some people who lived closer to the tracks, but that would be outweighed by the economic benefit a train stop would create, if All Aboard Flori-

for the Medal of Honor due to possible discrimination. After a laborious, decade-long search, Pentagon researchers found 24 that they strongly believed would have received the Medal of Honor much sooner under other circumstances. President Barack Obama presented the 24 in one of the largest Medal of Honor ceremonies ever. That was on March 18. Three of the Valor 24 are living: Santiago Erevia, Melvin Morris and Jose Rodela. Morris lives in Brevard County. “We are also here to correct an injustice of history — to help right 24 wrongs that should have never occurred,” the president said at that ceremony. Many locals, including the St. Lucie County Commission, are asking the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs to name the newest state veterans nursing home — which will be built in Tradition — after Copas. The nursing homes are all named after Medal of Honor recipients from Florida. Copas died on May 12, 1970, while serving as a machine gunner in Company C, 1st Battalion (Mechanized), 5th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division during combat near Ph Romeas Hek, Cambodia. A large force attacked the unit suddenly that

morning. Copas’ armored car was hit, seriously injuring four. Although also injured, Copas remounted the burning vehicle to suppress belligerents as others evacuated wounded comrades to safety. Copas died in the battle. Roger Sperl traveled with a grandchild from Fairbanks, Alaska, to attend the Fort Pierce dedication. He was at the battle but didn’t know Copas. Sperl was in Company B. “We came to their assistance,” Sperl said in an interview at the dedication. “I won’t say ‘rescue.’ They were doing a good job.” Sperl said that Copas’ Medal of Honor helps wipe a stain from all who entered Cambodia under orders. Sperl said politicians and the military brass still recoil at acknowledging battles on the Cambodian side of the border. He believes that’s one reason Copas was passed over for the Medal of Honor before. “We were 15 miles in, and (President Richard) Nixon said we would only go 10 miles in,” Sperl said. Along with Copas, Jesus Duran is a Valor 24 inductee. He died in April, 1969, also near Ph Romeas Hek. Before them, only two received the Medal of Honor for actions in Cambodia. One was Leslie Sabo Jr., who died on May 10, 1970, in Se San, Cambodia.

For fresh seafood and more, head to Rinelli’s Yellow Tail in Fort Pierce Brandon Zeris STAFF WRITER
bzeris@YourVoiceWeekly.com
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Rinelli’s Yellow Tail is a popular dining location on the Orange Avenue and Second Street intersection in downtown Fort Pierce, often filled to capacity after shows at the nearby Sunrise Theatre. Owner Don Rinelli is looking to get a similar turnout during lunch hours, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day. With a lunch menu loaded with tasty options for many palates, the idea doesn’t seem far-fetched. I went there for my first time at about 3 p.m. Monday with a guest to see what the hype was about. Our waitress was a friendly woman named Patricia. She took our drink orders and brought us the menus quickly. There’s an extensive wine list with descriptions of each option for guests like myself, who enjoy wine but don’t know much about each type. As tempting as it was, it was a bit early for wine for me. I’d be interested in going back and pairing one for dinner, though. After a recommendation from Rinelli, who can often be seen making rounds to customers and asking them about their meals, we sampled a few dishes.
The Mile High is a wonderful, light offering with grilled chicken, peppers, portobello mushrooms and fresh mozzarella piled high — not quite a mile, but close enough — on a skewer with rice and black beans and Balsamic vinaigrette dipping sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the vegetables were fresh, and the vinaigrette was excellent. It’s a wonderful option for $12. Next up was a fried white fish Rueben sandwich with a side of battered fries. Being from up north, I’d never had a Rueben with anything other than corned beef or pastrami. Rinelli’s Yellow Tail did a nice job, though. The fish was fried nicely, and the bread wasn’t too greasy, which is something many places are guilty of with Ruebens. Guests can get their fish anyway they want, including blackened, grilled or jerk varieties. My guest has made frequent trips to Rinelli’s, so he was well aware of their offerings, saying, “Everything here is so good.” Last up was chicken francaise, a lightly fried chicken breast dish, topped with artichoke hearts and capers and a lemon sauce. It was served with a side of capellini covered in alfredo sauce and a mix of zucchini, butternut squash and

YELLOWTAIL from page B1 carrots. This one was my favorite. The lemon sauce wasn’t overpowering and the fresh vegetables throughout completed the dish. The alfredo sauce was a bit heavy for me, yet the side of pasta was good. Don Rinelli, owner for five years, said what brings people back is the fresh food and his staff. “You’re only as good as the people who work for you,” he said. Rinelli said he makes it a point to buy every ingredient he can locally, with much of the fish coming from Pelican Seafood Company nearby.
It’s important for Rinelli to get involved in the community, too, and he said he has no problem covering a drink for a veteran. Rinelli’s also serves breakfast until noon on weekends. If you go for lunch, you’ll likely find an open seat. For dinner, it’s best to make a reservation, and, before a show at Sunrise, plan on making your reservation for two hours before the show, Rinelli said. Also keep an eye out for Rinelli’s vegan menu rolling within the next few weeks. Rinelli’s Yellow Tail is located at 101 N. Second St., Downtown Fort Pierce.

came to be. “We’ve always had a fundraising luncheon, and for years we’ve outsourced the entertainment,” he said. “For the luncheon last year, we decided to keep it in-house with the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. We also ran it for general admission and were surprised. I was told that it sold out in half an hour. I thought, ‘Wow, it’s just a concert thing, but people responded to it.” The plan was for a Lerner & Loewe program at the luncheon and then two additional performances where proceeds go to help raise money for theater programs. Clifton said the pair was chosen for several reasons. “They were a great pairing and so prolific. People may not know all the shows they did. We’re taking a show-by-show approach, with three singers, including Jennifer Hope Wills, the soprano from last year, and Richard Todd Adams and Jeremiah James. We’re starting with ‘Brigadoon’ and then ‘Paint Your Wagon,’ and ‘Gigi,’ which were movies, followed by ‘My Fair Lady’ and ‘Camelot.’” Clifton said the show will in-
clude songs everyone knows, as well as some lesser-known ones. “There will be some duets, group numbers and solos,” he said. “It’s scored for two concert grand pianos. I’ll play one and Anne Shuttlesworth the other. I’ve fallen in love with the music as I’m doing it. I need to arrange every one of the songs. (In the theater,) you see them with costumes and sets. In a concert, it goes from song to song to song. People have memories, but there’s not the context of the show. That’s the challenge of a concert — that it’s not in the context of a show. I’ve arranged the music to heighten the tunes to make it more exciting. What we have is the power of the song itself.” In his research into the two composers, Clifton kept coming across certain words. “They were consistently called ‘Broadway romantics,’” he said. “I think it does hold true. They were so unapologetically romantic, and the music speaks of that.” Clifton noted that many people had tried to make “Pygmalion” into a musical and it took Lerner & Loewe four years to develop it. “’Fair Lady’ suited their sensibilities,” he said. “People will hear the songs they love, like ‘I
Could Have Danced All Night.’ There will be big hits from ‘Gigi’ like ‘I Remember it Well,’ and lesser-known pieces. From ‘Paint Your Wagon,’ we’ll have ‘They Call the Wind Mariah’ and ‘I Talk to the Trees.’ There are lots of different pieces people may have forgotten they wrote. It will be a lovely evening. Front and center will be the power of some great voices and great music.” Clifton said that interposed among the 25 songs will be some dialogue. “There will be some information about each show,” he said. It will not be a history lesson but a homage to two of Broadway’s great romantics. It’s a celebration, not a seminar. The music is surprisingly relevant and beautiful if you love music of (Broadway’s) Golden Age. It’s a rich tapestry, and we’ll tailor the music to bring that out.” The Riverside Theatre,3250 Riverside Park Drive, Vero Beach, presents “The Music of Lerner & Loewe” Nov. 20 and Nov. 22 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $45.
