Thousands say goodbye to Sgt. Gary Morales
Scott and Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi were among those who attended to pay their respects. St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara delivered a touching eulogy. 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 watching 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

Do You Really Believe You Can Get a Quality Hearing Aid For Less Than $90000? Don’t Waste Your Time Chasing Deals That Don’t Exist! Read What Your Neighbors Have to Say About Mutters Hearing.
American Owned and Operated
You Can Experience the Mutter Difference Florida State Licensed Hearing Aid Specialist Joe Mutter, owner of Mutter’s Hearing Center states, “Our typical patient is a current client referral, or someone who bought a hearing aid elsewhere and that product did not fit their needs, or someone who has had a negative customer service experience elsewhere with an inexperienced or unskilled hearing aid provider. “People simply come here hoping to improve their quality of life by improving their hearing.” In many instances patients that need hearing aids have chased those nonexistent newspaper deals or specials and bought lower technology hearing aids.
Founded in 1967, Starkey products have revolutionized the hearing aid industry and allowed hearing professionals to offer the highest quality products to patients. Starkey is the only American-owned and operated hearing aid company. Starkey is an industry leader with over 400 scientists and engineers dedicated to the advancement of hearing aid and hearing loss technologies. There are two main obstacles keeping people from getting their hearing loss taken care of one is the price of quality hearing aids and the second is stigmas associated with hearing aid use. There are a number of ways to finance hearing instruments. We can work with folks to get them into quality hearing aids. As far as quality product goes, we fit clients with superior hearing aids that fit their lifestyles and their financial concerns.
Hearing aids are designed to help clarify muffled, distorted sound and allow you to hear through noise. Quality hearing aids will help with that. You have to remember that this is an important investment in their hearing. “People who chase the deals they see advertised out there for blowout sales’ or Hearing Aids starting at $895.00 and the like… are fooling themselves, those deals simply do not exist,”
“It’s a joy to do business with Mutters Hearing because #1 Everything is potentially and fully explained and #2 Never once have I ever come away with the feeling I have been taken.” George & Connie Kelly
“It was a great experience, he didn’t rush me and wanted to hear my story .” CeciL Walker/Port St. Lucie
Mr. Mutter explains. “I don’t want to be a drive-thru-style office. I want patients to leave here with a thorough understanding of the product they are buying and how it will help them to hear better because when you suffer from loss of hearing, it diminishes your quality of life and isolates you. I want to enhance quality of life.
Do You Need a No-Cost Hearing Evaluation?
Those who suspect they suffer from hearing loss should obtain a thorough clinical hearing evaluation; Mutter’s Hearing Center provides those at no cost. This clinical evaluation will determine if your hearing and understanding of human speech can be corrected with hearing aids. You may have hearing loss if: • People say you are shouting when you talk to them • You need the TV or radio turned up louder than other people do • You often ask people to repeat themselves because you can’t hear or understand them, especially in groups or when there is noise Don’t Wait - Every Day Matters • You can hear better out of one ear than the other Mr. Mutter emphasizes that patients should not always look for • You have to strain to hear the lowest cost hearing aid on the market. He says fit and perfor• If things just sound unclear and not as bright as they used to its mance are the two most important factors. time to get tested. “Joe Mutter has provided me with the best Hearing
“I’ve worn hearing aids for years, Joe really knows his stuff and he is exceptional to deal with.” Shelly Ludmerer/Port St. Lucie This gives them a negative first experience and they simply give up on hearing aids. The provider they chose at the time quite easily put was more interested in their checkbooks than the quality of their hearing. They did not explain fully the benefits of quality hearing aids; they went for the quick sale because they saw the patient expressed concerns about the cost of quality aids.

Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer Aileen and Ken Pruitt, St. Lucie County Property Appraiser and former Florida Senate president were greeted by Dr. Ed Massey, president of Indian River State College following the announcement naming the college’s St. Lucie West campus to the Ken Pruitt Campus. The renaming was made during ceremonies celebrating the opening of the newest addition to the college, The STEM Center Tuesday, Feb. 26. The facility’s name is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
IRSC renames SLW Campus during STEM Center ribbon cutting By Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer
nrodriguez@yourvoiceweekly.com
ST. LUCIE WEST — During a poignant ceremony that highlighted the importance of student advancement after graduation in the high-skilled scientific job market that the Research Coast is touted for, Indian River State College administrators officially introduced its newly constructed William and Helen Thomas Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics center, also known as the STEM center, in St. Lucie West. College President Edwin Massey also announced a new name for the school’s St. Lucie West Campus. Its new moniker as the Ken Pruitt Campus pays homage to the former Treasure Coast senator who fought relentlessly for the advancement of education for his youngest constituents. “Ken Pruitt has been one of the greatest education advocates in the history of Florida,” Massey said. “He is the father of the Bright Futures Scholarship, helped to expand access to bachelor’s degree programs statewide and tirelessly championed new educational opportunities for
IRSC students.” Pruitt, who is St. Lucie County’s property appraiser, spent close to two decades in the House and the Senate. During his political career, the education advocate called for the expansion of higher education opportunities and quality. Massey credits Pruitt with securing the necessary state funding to support faculty and staff, enlarge enrollment and build bigger and better campuses throughout the four-county region. “He has injected this region with his vision for a sustainable future and has committed over 20 years to turning that vision into reality through community and economic development,” Massey said. An emotional Pruitt said he feels privileged to be the campus’s namesake. “It’s extremely humbling,” Pruitt said. “I’m honored to have my name attached to such a great institution.” The campus, which hosts approximately 10,000 students annually, includes 11 buildings with 227,733 square feet, including the 56,000-square-foot, $19.5 million STEM Center.

to give up jewelry and wallets. One of the men was armed with a silver revolver, Sabol said. “While one victim was on the ground, the suspect kicked and punched him in the face in order to take the backpack that the victim was wearing,” a police press release stated. The clerk surrendered a cash register drawer and fled through the back to call police. The armed man jumped over the counter to chase the clerk, but gave up and the two fled in a four-door silver car, Sabol said, who added no shots were fired. Police believe the two are on an east coast crime spree. “We suspect they hit a convenience store in Melbourne, a Holiday Inn Express in Indian River County and a BP gas station in Jupiter,” Sabol said. Sabol said the department is working with other agencies to catch the violent armed robbers. “They have some really good

St. Lucie West gym to memorialize and raise funds for fallen deputy nrodriguez@yourvoiceweekly.com
ST. LUCIE WEST — American Top Team Legacy owner Mike Placido, 30, remembers his friend and fallen St. Lucie County Sheriff’s deputy Sgt. Gary Morales, 35, as a caring father, loving husband and a loyal friend. It’s Placido’s hope that everyone who attends his Grappling for Gary fundraising event on March 9 at his gym will share their fond memories of the hero, who died in the line of duty on Feb. 28 protecting the citizens of St. Lucie County. “He was a great human being,” Placido said. “He was a good father and a good husband.” Placido said Morales was a dedicated resident, who planned to remain in the county he loved so much. “He was a real loyal citizen to St.
Lucie County,” Placido said. “He had the opportunity to take federal jobs, but wanted to stay close to home.” Morales was a 12-year veteran of the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office. He was born in the Bronx, N.Y. He served in the United States Air Force beginning in 1995, when he was stationed in San Antonio. He served in Panama from 1996 to 1998, returned to San Antonio in that year and was honorably discharged in 1999. He received the Air Force Achievement Medal, Outstanding Unit Award, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Overseas Long Tour Ribbon, Longevity Service Award Ribbon and Air Force Training Ribbon. He joined the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office in October 2000 and holds a Bachelor of

MORALES from page 1 Nicholas Morales, gave the public a glimpse into the pain his grief-stricken family is experiencing. Nicholas said it’s a heart-wrenching thought that he’ll never embrace his uncle again. “Me and my Uncle Gary had a relationship 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 presence known. Now he’s gone,” Nicholas 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 daughter. 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 in life – the really good ones. The ones you can really count on when the chips are down and it’s going to get ugly,” Pettit said. “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 support of sick cancer kids, there was Gary right next to me shav-

ing 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 generous … 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 forever 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 resident and rider with the Patriot Guard Riders, stood watch outside with his fellow brothers, who formed an American flag line. The group frequently attends military deployments and funerals of veterans 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 County. The county has a heavy heart today,” he said. “We lost a local hero.” “It’s always sad to lose a first responder in any way shape
“You’d ask him for anything and you’d get the same response. ‘No problem. Anything I could do.’” Sgt. Rob Pettit 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 officers I’ve ever met,” Rhodes said. “He was a good guy, a public servant.” Port St. Lucie resident and former New York City Police Department Officer Al Hickey said the spectacular show of support from law enforcement officers from as far away as Chicago and Maine didn’t surprise 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 stationed 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, Longevity Service Award Ribbon and Air Force Training Ribbon. Morales joined the St. Lucie County 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 Patrol, School Resource, S.W.A.T. and Special Investigations and the Training Unit. He was a firearms, defensive tactics and driving instructor. Morales also was a CrossFit instructor. His last assignment was in Uniform Patrol. He was promoted 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 commendation in his file indicate,” sheriff’s spokesman Mark Weinberg said in a press release. His departmental honors included four Unit Citations, three Exceptional Duty and two Safe Driver awards.
Morales is the first deputy killed on the job since Master Deputy Steve Roberts was struck by another motorist in 1999. Members of the community lined the streets to watch the 26-milelong procession of several thousand cars to Forest Hills Memorial Park in Palm City where Morales was buried. The hearse was flanked by S.W.A.T. vehicles and cars carrying Morales’s wife, Holly, daughters, three brothers — one of whom is a St. Lucie County Sheriff’s deputy — and his parents, who live in Lake Charles in St. Lucie West. Fort Pierce resident Chris Lee and her sister, Connie Stevens of Georgia, 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,” Stevens 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 procession 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 sergeant.” “Gary was happy and always smiling,” she said. “The minute he came around, his nephews and nieces just jumped around him.”

Arts degree and a master’s degree in criminal justice from Keiser University. Placido said he met Morales four years ago when Placido owned the Crystal Palace Arcade in Port St. Lucie. “He used to come in and make people feel safe,” Placido said. “He would joke around with the customers.” “Everyone loved him,” he said. “He was very down-to-Earth.” The event will include a barbecue, raffles and five hours of grappling in the cage, Placido said, who added anyone who’d like to grapple can pay a fee and enter the ring. Mixed Martial Arts and UFC fighters will be on hand to help the cause, Placido said. Fighters on tap include Paulie Gloves, Thiago “Pitbull” Alves and Jeff Monson. All proceeds will go to Morales’s wife and two young daughters, said Placido, who added Morales’s family will be in attendance. He urges the community to come out and support the departed hero. “We’re asking that people come out and give one day of their lives for the 13 years he gave us,” Placido said.

The three-story building and its stunning architecture already hosts students striving to earn their Bachelor of Science degree in biology. The facility boasts seven laboratories, including an ecology and DNA lab which has a state-of-theart genomic stimulator that reads and translates DNA, provost of the Ken Pruitt campus, Dr. Harvey Arnold said. A centerpiece of the building is its spiral staircase, constructed to resemble a strand of DNA. Many of the laboratories physically open up to a back patio, where students have instant access to the environment. Students studying ecology can take advantage of a 35-foot-long wave simulation tank to study fluid mechanics and flow behavior, Arnold said. The Economic Development Council of St. Lucie County has

Florida Senate President Don Gaetz, who is a former Superintendent of the Okaloosa County School District, stressed the center’s central role in the state’s mending economy. “This college is a model for all of Florida to follow,” Gaetz said. “All of what you’re doing here hard wires education to the economy ... All of those who are educated here will be prepared to compete in the very sectors this economy needs.”

Jessica Clinton $45 off to save lives 10 years after her death By Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer

ST. LUCIE WEST — Former St. Lucie West Centennial High School cheerleader Jessica Clinton had a bright future ahead of her. The homecoming queen was captain of her squad, president of the student council and was taking dual enrollment classes at Indian River State College her senior year. She planned to graduate and earn a college degree to
one day become a journalist. Jessica’s dreams were cut short in 2003 during a routine after-school cheerleading practice, when the 17-year-old’s heart stopped beating. Had there been a defibrillator on campus to shock her heart, Jessica’s mother, Cheryl Lalloo, said her daughter’s life could have been spared. Her death was caused by an undetected heart defect called Mitral Valve Prolapse, a problem

Chamber moves to more accessible building in county By Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer
nrodriguez@yourvoiceweekly.com
2412
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — After six years at its most recent address in St. Lucie West, the St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce is packing up and moving to a more centrally located, easily accessible building on Midway Road in Fort Pierce.
Chamber President Linda Cox said the new location is prime for members all over the county, especially those east of U.S. 1 and those located on the county’s north end. “Our new location has us almost dead center in the community,” Cox said. “It’s only a five-minute drive from where we are now.” Cox said the reason for moving is simple.

“Our new location has us almost dead center in the community,” Linda Cox St. Lucie County Chamber president “Our lease is up and we have so much space that we don’t need any longer,” Cox said. The 3,800-square-foot building on Midway Road is located in the Drawdy Brothers Construction Complex, Cox said. Cox said the Chamber will still operate its Fort Pierce Visitor Center in the Seven Gables House in historic downtown Fort Pierce and its display in Port St. Lucie City Hall. She added the office will be closed on March 28 and 29 for the move, but will reopen April 1 at the new address at 2937 W. Midway Road in Fort Pierce. The Chamber plans to revert to its original telephone number, (772) 595-9999, but will continue to use its current number, (772) 340-1333, for at least a year, Cox said. The Chamber currently serves 900 members and has five staff members. The not-for-profit organization is funded by membership dues and special events. It aims to promote and support local business. Chamber timeline: 1906: The Fort Pierce-St. Lucie County Chamber began as the local board of trade. Sometime later, the name was changed to the Fort Pierce-St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce. 1977: A modern-day office was constructed on land owned by the city of Fort Pierce on Virginia Avenue next to the County Administration Complex.
1982: The Greater Port St. Lucie Chamber was formed to better serve the interests of businesses in southern St. Lucie County. The Greater Port St. Lucie Chamber constructed an office in the mid‘80s on Port St. Lucie Boulevard. 1993: The St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce, its present form, resulted from the merger of the Fort Pierce-St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce, Greater Port St. Lucie Chamber of Commerce and the economic development council known as the G.O. Team, Inc. 1999: The Chamber entered into an agreement with the city of Fort Pierce to operate a Fort Pierce Visitor Center in the Seven Gables House in historic downtown Fort Pierce which remains in place today. More than 40 volunteers assist residents and visitors with local tourist information and a historical perspective of the area. 2006: The Chamber sold its building on Port St. Lucie Boulevard and relocated its Visitor Center Services to the Port St. Lucie City Hall, where it still maintains a brochure display. 2007: The Chamber relocated its administrative offices to St. Lucie West. 2013: The Chamber relocated its administrative offices to Midway Road.

CLINTON from page 13 provide CPR and Automated External Defibrillator training and install AED’s to schools, parks, playgrounds and recreational facilities throughout the state. The foundation also aims to raise awareness about the dangers of undiagnosed heart problems, which kills an estimated 200 to 300 young adults each year, Lalloo said. They have been used at least four times to save lives, Lalloo said. “Jessica always used to tell me that someday she was going to be somebody,” Lalloo said. “And she was.” In October, the foundation hosted a free heart screening day at the Port St. Lucie Community Center. With the aid of six St. Lucie County Fire District EMTs and paramedics, a local cardiologist and Indian River State College nursing students, the foundation detected 14 heart abnormalities, four of which had such severe cases they were referred to a cardiologist immediately. Two of the students have already undergone surgery, Lalloo said. A total of 247 students were screened. Lalloo said students as far from Miami attended
to receive the electrocardiogram testing. Those tests can sometimes run up to $1,500, she said. “We did this for free because we don’t want any child to not get screened because they don’t have the money for it,” Lalloo said. “Get your kids tested.” Lalloo said she’s already planning a similar event for later this year. In order for it to be a success and service even more students, Lalloo said she needs donations, and volunteer medical personnel including nurses, paramedics and cardiologists. “We insist no donation is too small,” Lalloo said. Should another event take place, St. Lucie County Fire District Chief Ron Parrish said his men are on board. “If all things work out, we’ll be participating in it again,” Parrish said. Parrish stressed the importance of having a defibrillator on hand in case of a cardiac emergency. “AEDs save lives every day of the year and many times over,” Parrish said. “An AED gives a much greater chance at survivability than waiting (for paramedics to respond).” For more information on the Jessica Clinton MVP Foundation or to donate, visit jessicaclinton.org

The Cornerstone Bistro is a diamond in the rough for Palm City and Port St. Lucie By Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer
nrodriguez@yourvoiceweekly.com
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Cornerstone Bistro, tucked away right here in the suburbs of the Treasure Coast, exudes the style and sophistication of a swanky New York City eatery. Situated in Veranda Falls, a minute’s walk from The Tesoro Club – the area’s premier private membership club – the top-qual-

ity fine dining restaurant serves patrons an array of dishes from pasta and seafood to steak prepared to perfection. Each dish is made fresh on-site, service specialist Michael Livermore said. “Everything is made to order from scratch,” Livermore said. “If somebody has allergies or if they don’t like something, we can make a dish specifically for them.”

YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS • ST. LUCIE WEST/TRADITION • MARCH 8, 2013 • 21 The stuffed double cut pork chop with apple and pear chutney is a signature entrée by Mark Anthony Zollo, owner and head chef at Cornerstone Bistro in Port St. Lucie. The restaurant is located across from Tesoro on Becker Road.
Upscale New York Italian Cuisine in St. Lucie West!

A recommended dish for starters is the imported cheese platter served with fresh strawberries, candied walnuts and raisins and an assortment of delectable cheeses, 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 departure from what one would regularly 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 lemon 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 already boasts a stellar reputation as one of the area’s finest restaurants. “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 expansive menu. “We’re having a lot of fun. I would say 40 percent of our clientele are new,” Zollo said. “They’re from Palm City, PGA and Vero.” Zollo said his location in the Veranda Falls, which includes cascading waterfalls and an upscale ambiance, is a prime location for a peaceful evening out. “We’re a destination,” he said. Zollo, who originally hails from Syracuse, N.Y., said he has been intrigued by the culinary world since he was a child. As a young boy, Zollo got his start cooking alongside family members. His creativity and dreams expanded with age. Before relocating to Port St. Lucie seven years ago, Zollo said he was a chef for one of the most
affluent families in the world for more than a decade. Zollo, an International Chef Award winner, also had a hand in advancing Pier 66 Hotel & Marina in Fort Lauderdale, The Doral Country Club in Miami and the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tenn. to top-notch spots to dine. From the end of June to the first of October, Cornerstone is closed. During the off season, Zollo and his staff operate his second restaurant, The Inn at Ocean Village on Hutchinson Island. Zollo’s fingerprints are all over 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 compilation 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 restaurant 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. Reservations are suggested. To make a reservation, call (772) 785-5220.

Doc Grober melds music, medicine and the Mudcats

By Shelley Koppel Staff writer

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 enthusiasts also know him as the driving 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. Grober 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 catfish 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

toe-tapping and it’s all entertainment.” 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 trumpet; 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 sensational 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 people 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.”
talking about the upcoming concert. “This is a tribute to New Orleans,” he said. “It’s a swinging 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 Orleans jazz funeral. We’ll play ‘flag wavers’ like ‘The South Rampart Street Parade’ and ‘When the Saints Go Marching in.’ It’s
