Tumultuous times in Torino over detox center foundation is never laid.

Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer

nrodriguez@YourVoiceWeekly.com

TORINO — Residents of one St. Lucie West neighborhood are incensed at the proposition of a drug detox center in their community and say they’ll fight to the bitter end to ensure the facility’s

The Plan The founder of New Life Addiction Treatment Center wants to build a facility with two buildings on a 3.93-acre property he owns on the northeast corner of Northwest East Torino Parkway and Zenith Drive.

The complex will include a 30-

bed detox and a rehabilitation center, project developers said.

New Life has four sober homes throughout the city.

The site plan will be reviewed by the city’s Sept. 3 planning and zoning board. The board will decide whether it will grant a “special exception use” to the

Board chair outlines plans for services district Shelley Koppel Staff writer

skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com

ST. LUCIE WEST — Harvey Cutler, chairman of the board of the St. Lucie West Services District, came to Florida in 1948.

“My mom and dad decided to move down from New York for the warmer climate because of my dad’s bad heart,” he said. “I was still single and when I got out of the service, I went to help them set up and I stayed.”

The Cutlers settled in Miami and Harvey Cutler attended the University of Miami, majoring in finance. When he retired, he was a vice president at Prudential Securities. Ten years ago, he moved to St. Lucie West.

“I was the first president of the Cascades Homeowners’ Association,” he said. “We had issues left over from the developer that needed to be addressed. I used to appear at meetings. That’s how I got interested.”

The St. Lucie Services District is responsible for providing

the treatment and distribution of drinking water; wastewater collection, treatment and reuse; landscape maintenance services; drainage and water management services and a reclaim irrigation system to some 7,000 residences and businesses with a population of about 20,000.

Cutler was appointed to the board of the services district in 2008 to replace a departing member. He stood for election in 2010 and will stand again in 2014.

“When you supply all the potable water, provide waste treatment management, take care of the lakes and preserves and furnish irrigation to 400 businesses and 20,000 people, to the Tradition Sports Complex and Indian River State College, it’s a pretty dense population. We have a lot of responsibility.”

The SLWSD has been in the news of late because of leaky pipes in homes in several subdivisions in St. Lucie West. While many residents blamed the water and said it was corrosive, several outside studies commissioned by the board have implicated im-

proper installation by developers.

Cutler has said the board will not seek a third study.

“After the initial investigation, it was determined that it was not our water,” he said. “From then on, it was spending the taxpayers’ money to take a problem that was not a district problem.

“We wanted to serve the public and spent money investigating the situation. We had the pipes analyzed. The fact remains that the problems were with the installation. The problem is in all areas and is not unique to St. Lucie West.

“The quality of the copper tubing was of the lowest quality and a lot of it was installed in concrete without being wrapped. Concrete has the effect on copper of deteriorating it. Certain (types) of the flux used to solder the joints of the copper pipes shouldn’t have been used.”

While some residents disagree, Cutler said the SLWSD had investigated the problem to help the community.

“We have certain mandates,” he said. “Things that are out of our

Nightclub shooting first city homicide Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer

nrodriguez@YourVoiceWeekly.com

PORT ST. LUCIE — A dispute between two men outside of a popular nightclub just west of the Turnpike turned deadly last week, making it the city’s first homicide this year.

Alexander Robinson, Jr., 22, was killed by gunfire after an argument inside La Zen nightclub spilled into the parking lot around the club’s closing time of 2 a.m.

Robinson, who was shot several times in the torso, was pronounced dead at St. Lucie Medical Center within the hour, Port St. Lucie Police said.

Daymon Omar Anderson, 29, whose gunfire struck Robinson in the early morning hours of July 31, has been cooperative, police spokesman Master Sgt. Frank Sabol said. A 9mm handgun was used in the altercation and multiple rounds were fired, Sabol said.

Both men live in Port St. Lucie.

After consulting with the State Attorney’s office, police said they did not have sufficient evidence to make an arrest in the shooting, adding the investigation remains open.

“We will not comment further on the ongoing investigation but will say that Anderson has been cooperating with police detectives,” a police statement said.

County court records show Robinson’s criminal history includes felony charges of battery, third-degree grand theft and robbery by sudden snatching. The cases, all from this year, were still pending in the court.

Anderson had no outstanding warrants.

Robinson’s death is the city’s first homicide this year, but hasn’t yet been ruled a murder. The Port St. Lucie shooting comes on the heels of an especially violent year in the

county. At press time, Fort Pierce has seen 62 shooting incidents in the past 13 weeks. Last year, Fort Pierce had three murders, a number that has nearly doubled this year to five in half the time, Fort Pierce Police spokesman Sgt. Dennis McWilliams said.

In 2010, Port St. Lucie had three murders, two with a firearm and one with a knife or cutting instrument. Murders doubled the next year, leaving 2011 with six murders — three gun-related, one with a knife and two more by other means, according to state crime data from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Last year, the murder rate dropped by 33.3 percent to four murders, all committed with guns.

Forcible sex offenses in the city were up last year with 73, compared to 56 in 2011.

The numbers for some types of crime slumped, while others swelled.

Robbery in Port St. Lucie in 2012 was down to 55. In 2011, there were six more robberies, according to the data.

Aggravated assaults were up in 2012 to 263, compared to 248 the year before.

Larceny decreased from 2,590 in 2011 to 2,124 in 2012.

In sum, the city had 395 violent crimes and 3,031 nonviolent crimes last year.

Sabol said some crimes have been committed at or in the parking lot of La Zen nightclub.

“We’ve had a total of 168 calls from December 2012 to April 2013,” Sabol said.

Some of those calls included requests for police assistance for fights, assaults, disturbances and a bomb threat, Sabol said.

Since April, Sabol said there has been an aggravated battery and armed robbery in the club’s parking lot.

‘Click It or Ticket’ earns police award Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer

nrodriguez@YourVoiceWeekly.com

PORT ST. LUCIE — During the last three waves of its “Click It or Ticket” campaign, the city’s police department issued more than 1,000 safety belt violation citations. Port St. Lucie Police say that stat translates into lives potentially saved through education. It also meant statewide recognition.

The Port St. Lucie Police Department was awarded second place at the Florida’s Click It or Ticket Challenge ceremony held last month in Orlando.

DETOX from page 1 property’s institutional zoning designation to allow the detox center. The project will then go before the city council at its Sept.

23 meeting.

The first phase would be a 9,900-square-foot, one-story building with 30 beds, where patients would stay five to seven days to detox from drugs, said Brad Currie, a planner representing New Life Center.

The second phase was to be a 20,500-square-foot, two-story structure where 80 patients would go once they complete detoxification.

That part of the plan was changed in recent weeks to appease residents, Currie said. It is now planned to be a single-story 14,000 square feet, 40-bed facil-

The purpose of the challenge is to urge law enforcement agencies to address safety belt usage in their communities to create a safer environment by reducing the severity of crash related injuries, department spokesman Master Sgt. Frank Sabol said.

In total, there were nine law enforcement agency categories with 200 agencies competing.

Port St. Lucie Police along with 34 other agencies participated in the category consisting of agencies with 151 to 250 officers. The department ranked second in the challenge issuing 1,299 safety belt violation citations and 53 child safety citations. Lakeland

Police Department clocked in at No. 1 in the category.

All state, county, municipal and university law enforcement agencies were eligible to compete in the challenge.

A popular notion that the mobilization exists to make a financial quota is a myth, Sabol said.

“The campaign strives to educate the public and to bring awareness of the safety and protection (a seatbelt) gives if they are in a crash. It has nothing to do with

ity.

Special exception Group or sober homes do not need approval from the planning and zoning board. But, detox and convalescent homes, which administer medication, do.

“The exception use is for what we’re calling the convalescent home. That’s more of a medical type use with nurses and physicians. It’s the detox portion, which requires more attention from the staff,” Currie said.

The concerned resident said that some visiting addicts may carry with them more sinister conditions.

“They’re not just addicted to some substance. There are other problems. They might be perverts or a rapist,” the resident said.

Two schools — West Gate K-8 School and Renaissance Charter School — are located less than a mile away on Northwest Cashmere Boulevard. A school bus stop is also nearby.

Torino area resident Matthew Brady, 44, shared the same concerns. Brady has two young daughters who play outside and often walk to school.

“It’s an open door facility, so they could walk out the door whenever they want,” Brady said. “If they became violent or decided to leave, they’ll have the opportunity to hurt children or rob someone.”

Currie said the center will only cater to patients who check in voluntarily, but will be prohibited from leaving the facility. Patients will be under heavy monitoring by staff 24-hours a day. The grounds will also be monitored by security cameras, Currie said.

Many Torino residents recognize the importance of detox centers, just not in residential communities.

Resident and mother of two, Andrea Crespo, 44, is concerned about a potential spike in crime.

“There will be people coming and going from the facility who need drugs. Some are not going to be able to stay in the program,” Crespo said. “We’re going to have people surveying the area to sell drugs.”

Residents also say the detox center would send property values plummeting.

“I’m not planning on going anywhere, but if I did or this became a problem, I would never be able to leave,” Brady said.

Public outcry Residents still want no part of it, modified or not.

“This is tearing the fabric out of what makes this place great,” said one Torino resident, who spoke under the veil of anonymity out of fear of litigation from the developers.

finances,” Sabol said. The department receives a very small percentage for the nonmoving violation, which is $118.

A large chunk of the ticket, approximately $30, goes to the Court Facilities Funds, according to a distribution break down provided by the St. Lucie County

See AWARD page 7 The city doesn’t keep a tally of sober homes within its limits, planners said. Neither does the Port St. Lucie Police. There are no local laws that regulate those homes.

“We respond to calls for service at group homes the same as any residence in the city,” department spokesman Master Sgt. Frank Sabol said. “If we I.D. any location as a repeated call for service, we will direct additional resources to rectify the underlying problem.”

Currie said if there was a problem, it would have come to light by now.

“I would think if there was a problem like the residents are talking about, that you would hear more about it in the news, you would see it more as something that consistently has a problem,” Currie said. “... I could understand their perception that there is additional crime, but this is a voluntary program. The people that come to this facility want to get better. They’re not trying to escape, they’re trying to get better.”

Detox treatment The land’s partial owner and neurologist, Dr. Jose Toledo, founded New Life Addiction Treatment Center, which has a main office at the intersection of Prima Vista Boulevard and U.S. 1.

Toledo said the proposed project is tentatively called the “Torino Campus.”

Toledo, who said he only plans to act as the campus medical director, said another entity will run the center. He remained mum on what corporation that will be.

A large segment of the community struggles with some sort of substance abuse, making the Torino center a necessity Toledo said.

“Right now, we get all these people and they’re sick, they’re throwing up and don’t feel good,”

AWARD from page 6 Clerk of Courts. Another $16 is court costs and $12.50 of the ticket is a clerk administrative fee. Portions of the penalty also benefit child welfare, juvenile justice and epilepsy trust funds, among other funds.

Checkpoints set up around the city, including St. Lucie West and Tradition. Electronic road signs alert motorists to “Click It or Ticket.”

The first wave started last Nov. 12 and ran through Nov. 25. The second wave ran from March 1 through March 16. The final installment was during the “Click It or Ticket” national wave which took place from May 20 through June 2.

SHOOTING from page 4 La Zen, located at 464 S.W. Port St. Lucie Blvd., has two rooms and more than 4,000 square feet of dance floor, according to the nightclub’s website. It opened in 2009 and boasts a “vibrant atmosphere of Asian decor.”

Club promoter and the DJ on the turntables the night of the shooting assures city residents the club is safe and goes above and beyond to foster a secure environment.

“We do a lot of work with Port

Seat belts must always be fastened properly over the lap and chest. If it’s not, an injury is almost certain, Sabol said.

“If you get into an impact crash with the seatbelt under your armpit, the force of your body with the seatbelt worn that way can break your ribs,” Sabol said.

The straps can be life saving, especially when children are involved.

“It can be a matter of life or death if a child is restrained,” Sabol said. “A child can be ejected if not secured properly.”

Florida child restraint requirements mandate children 3 and younger be secured in a federally approved child-restraint seat.

Children 4 through 5 must be secured by either a federally

approved child restraint seat or safety belt.

The compliance rate, or percentage of people who wear their seatbelt in accordance with the mandatory seatbelt ordinance, has risen steadily since seatbelt infractions became a primary offense in 2009, Sabol said.

That means a motorist can be pulled over and cited for a seatbelt violation without having committed another offense first like speeding.

“In 2007 the compliance rate was 79.1 percent. In 2008, it was 81.7 percent,” Sabol said. “In 2009, it was 85.2 percent.”

And the positive numbers only climb from there. The year 2010 saw a compliance percentage of 87.4 Florida drivers and 88.1 per-

cent in 2011.

According to a five-year county by county fatality report, the number of deaths from traffic fatalies in St. Lucie County decreased the year after seatbelt violations were made a primary offense. The county had 38 crash deaths in 2009 and only 29 in 2010, according the report on the campaign’s Florida website at www.clickitfla.com.

The next wave will take place in November during the holiday travel season.

“There are a lot more people traveling during that time and we want to make sure they remain safe during their travels and remain safe and get to their destinations without injuries,” Sabol said.

St. Lucie Police to ensure the safety of our patrons,” Chris Buza said.

Buza said he pays out-of-pocket for two off-duty officers to patrol the parking lot, although it’s technically not the club’s property.

The night of the shooting, around six law enforcement officers were outside of the club, he said.

For security, identification cards are scanned for outstanding warrants, ultraviolet lights are also shined on ID cards to verify its authenticity, women’s purses are searched and men receive a body

pat-down, Buza said. Re-entrys required another check. The club also has a strict dress code of no plain T-shirts or baggy clothes, he added.

“There’s absolutely no way possible to be able to get into the club with any kind of weapon, not even pepper spray,” Buza said.

“We can’t check people’s cars to see if they have guns in them,” he said. “This is the state of Florida. This is a right to bear (arms) state.”

The nightclub also has a strict policy on verbal altercations.

Just before the shooting, Buza

said both men were arguing inside and were immediately escorted out by security and asked to leave the premises by two Port St. Lucie Police details.

“Our security does not allow arguing of any sort or kind, so they were both kicked out of the venue,” he said.

Buza, who said he didn’t know either man, heard five to seven shots minutes later and saw police run toward the scene.

“It was a crazy scene, but the police were there within seconds,” said Buza, who extended his condolences to all involved.

“The PGA Museum of Golf carries a tradition of presenting one-of-a-kind memorabilia that showcases the storied history of The PGA of America and legends from the incredible drama that annually defines the PGA Championship,” said PGA Golf Club general manager Jimmy Terry. “These rare artifacts trace the annals of golf and express why our game is so beloved by golf fans across the world. We are proud to display these items, along with the original Wanamaker Trophy at PGA Golf Club for golf fans and our guests to

enjoy.”

Admission to the PGA Museum of Golf is free and open to the public. The Museum is currently open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Fridays-Sundays.

The fea-

tured display is a tribute to the storied history of the PGA Championship, which was first contested at Siwanoy Country Club, in Bronxville, N.Y., and won by Jim Barnes in

www.YourVoiceWeekly.com 1916. The Championship was staged at the suggestion of department store magnate Rodman Wanamaker, who also was instrumental in the founding of The PGA of America. Over the years, many of golf’s greatest names have captured the PGA Championship’s Wanamaker Trophy, including: Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.

The PGA Museum of Golf has hosted several special exhibits in recent years including tributes to the Ryder Cup, Senior PGA Championship presented

by KitchenAid, PGA Grand Slam of Golf, African-American Golf Pioneers and the PGA Golf Professional Hall of Fame.

Additional Museum attractions include a workbench used by legendary course architect Donald Ross circa 1900; a display honoring PGA Past President Horton Smith, winner of the first Masters in 1934; and the Probst Library, which features one of the largest periodical collections in golf, including the first known written mention of golf from the Articles of Parliament in the 16th Century.

The PGA Museum of Golf is located in PGA Village, which also encompasses the PGA Golf Club’s 54 holes of Championship golf by Tom Fazio and Pete Dye; and the adjacent PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance, a state-of-the-art, 35-acre golf learning, instruction, fitness and technology facility.

Meet your St. Lucie Mets Kevin Plawecki, catcher Patrick Bernadeau

FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS

ST. LUCIE WEST — The phrase “what a difference a year makes” isn’t something that is totally unusual for the typical minor leaguer.

For Kevin Plawecki, however, the difference from 2012 to 2013 is worth noting.

Drafted by the Mets organization in the first round (35th overall) in the 2012 MLB draft pick out of Purdue University, Plawecki was immediately sent to low Class A affiliate Brooklyn to start his professional career.

The Indiana native went through a bit of culture shock, living for the first time in an atmosphere as lively as Brooklyn. Staying in a Brooklyn hotel throughout his threemonth tenure, Plawecki not only had to adjust to professional pitching on the field, but a completely different environment off of it.

“It was quite the adjustment,” Plawecki said. “I definitely had some good times and made some good memories in Brooklyn, but it was certainly a different world. It took some time getting you used to it.

“The fans know who you are and can be pretty intense. I had to be more careful with my Twitter.”

In 61 games with the Brooklyn Cyclones, Plawecki hit for a .250 average, with seven home runs and 27 RBIs.

But what a difference a year makes. With an off-season to his disposal to prepare for the long season, Plawecki has had a terrific 2013 campaign.

Through 100 games with Class A affiliate Savannah and high Class A affiliate St. Lucie, Plawecki has hit for a .314 average.

Although he has hit as many home runs as he did the year before, Plawecki has driven in 37 more RBIs. Whether it is due to progression, regression or to serve as an injury replacement, players bounce around from affiliate to affiliate and find themselves in different parts of the country on their road to the majors.

Behind the plate, Plawecki has allowed only four passed balls while throwing out 24 base runners, amounting to a 30 percent caught stealing percentage.

“It’s been a pretty good season,” Plawecki said. “With all the work I put in during the off-season to get stronger, I’m pretty happy with the results.”

Being a first-round selection, Plawecki understands the high expectations that come with that, yet he doesn’t mind the pressure.

“I know that there’s a level of urgency that comes with being picked so high, but I just try to stay within myself, don’t try to do too much and worry about what I can control,” Plawecki said.

Keller Williams Realty expanding FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS

In February, Charles Posess, operating principal of four Keller Williams offices, announced that he had purchased the former Bank Atlantic building at the corner of Matheson and Martin Downs Boulevard in Palm City and would open another Keller Williams Business Center one day in the near future.

That day has arrived and the office — which is a satellite of the KW Treasure Coast Flagship Market Center in Stuart — is open and welcoming the public.

Hal Frasier, longtime Palm City resident and one of the original agents on board when Keller Williams first opened in Stuart in April 2006, is heading up the new facility.

“Charles is planning renovations to our space of 4,500 square feet to bring it up to the quality of our 12,000-square-foot Market Center, which is located at 819 S. Federal Hwy, Stuart, in the Royal Palm Financial Center.

More than 176 agents work out of that state-of-the-art facility where we will continue to hold all our

meetings and training,” Frasier said.

Cristi Hernandez, team leader and designated broker of the entire Treasure Coast Keller Williams franchise, oversees both locations.

“The new office which is called a Business Center by KW International is a perfect answer to better serving Palm City residents and our agents who specialize in that part of Martin County. It is also just a short distance to the Becker Road section of Port St. Lucie, so agents who work in that area can be closer to their listings,” Hernandez said.

The Keller Williams expansion continues into St. Lucie West as Posess recently purchased the 6,800-square-foot building in PGA Village that Lang Realty has occupied since Lang bought Villager Realty LLC from The Kolter Group.

Posess plans on moving his KW St. Lucie West office, which is currently in rental space, to the PGA location in April 2014 after expanding that facility.

On home-game Sundays, the stadium offers brunch at $15 a person. It includes a ticket to the game, a cash bar with discounted brunch favorites such as as mimosas and bloody marys and a menu that includes carving, omelet and hot dog stations, sausages and bacon, pastries, yogurt and biscuits and gravy.

There are also special promotions during the week.

Mondays are “Kids Free Mondays” and all kids under 12 are admitted for free and get a free hot dog, soda and box of popcorn.

Toledo said as he explained drug withdrawal.

Problem is, there’s no place to locally detox them until they’re stable, Toledo said.

“Right now, we send them to Lake Worth, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach or Juno Beach to detox,” he said.

Detox, an often painful process, can last seven to 10 days. During that time, drugs can be administered by staffers. Detoxing a body of the toxins that have built up over the course of an addiction is a vital first step towards getting well, Toledo said. Once the bio-chemical effects of addiction are addressed, the next step is rehabilitation, usually a 30-90 day program.

It’s a one-stop shop, for addicts dedicated to getting well quickly and in one place, Toledo and Currie said.

That means there is little a local government can do to stop a sober or group home from opening in a residential area.

to keep the level of water low to prevent flooding. The design for this community still used streets as water retention areas. When there are 100-year storms, we’ve managed to improve the system to get rid of water a lot faster.

Some areas are no longer flooding or the water is going down faster.

We’re still working on a plan that will move the water faster.”

Cutler said that the SLWSD is trying to be prepared for the upturn in construction that is already beginning.

“Within the next year, we will do engineering work to expand the water plant and the waste water treatment plant,” he said. “When building starts up again, we need to be ahead of the game. We need a greater volume of potable water and waste water treatment and it’s all in the works.”

Cutler noted that the district won a (2010) commendation from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. That award was the Domestic Wastewater Plant Operations Excellence Award.

“I don’t take the credit for this, although I think the board has done an extremely good job,” he

www.YourVoiceWeekly.com between residents and the developer were vital to the process.

“I’m happy that the applicant is making themselves available, especially to the residents of that neighborhood,” Berger said. “As a result, they are looking to alter the intensity of the project.”

Mayor JoAnn Faiella, who said she sympathizes with residents, said she’s enlisted federal help.

“I have talked to Congressman Patrick Murphy about how his office can help with these situations,” Faiella said.

Erin Moffet Hale, Murphy’s communications director, said the representative is all ears.

“As someone who cares deeply about recovery and treatment, Rep. Murphy understands the helpful role sober living environments can play in providing addicts with a safe and supportive place to live during the recovery process,” Moffet Hale said in an emailed statement.

“He will gladly work with recovery advocates and local municipalities to protect the rights of individuals suffering from addiction to find adequate and safe treatment options.”

“However, he is very much aware of the concerns of the community and is looking into ways to help make sure that these centers follow regulations to avoid negative impacts in the area,” she said. “He is continuing to work with Mayor Faiella to find a balance that protects both the patients and the community.”

said. “I’ve never worked with a better board. We have a wonderful staff that is conscientious, efficient and knowledgeable. It’s a very professional operation. If other government agencies were as efficient as ours, things would be a lot better.

“We manage to come up with the right answer,” he said. “The board doesn’t micromanage. We set policy and there is good communication between the board and staff several times a week. I don’t wait for monthly meetings.

We have very good relationships.”

Cutler and his wife, Jane, have been married for 10 years. His first marriage lasted 51 years.

Both he and Jane enjoy living in the Cascades.

“I can’t think of any place I’d rather be,” Cutler said. “Drive into the Cascades and it’s a park.

Outside, within five minutes is anything you could want. It’s a good quality of life.”

Cutler is an avid bridge player and loves to travel, but it is community work that is his passion.

“I’ve always been active in local affairs and community service,” he said. “It keeps me happy.”

Dynamic dining at West End Grill Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer

ST. LUCIE WEST — By day, West End Grill is brimming with suits and ties grabbing a quick bite in a race against the work clock, city cops in their customary chairs ordering their standard sandwich and mothers with children breaking from everyday errands.

The scene so much resembles a bustling New York City delicatessen, you can almost hear the jingle of a bell each time the door opens.

Owner Walter Pietrzak knows most patrons personally. Many times during the

lunch rush, Pietrzak pauses midsentence with one customer to greet another by name.

Pietrzak even alerts regulars when their favorite off-menu dish is a daily special.

“I take phone numbers,” he said. “If I have something, I’ll give you a call.”

Pietrzak’s specials mount so much anticipation, some customers beat him to the punch.

“It’s always something exciting. The phone starts ringing when we walk through the Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer door,” he said. “What are your specials The Uptown Special sandwich is only for those with big hands, today?” big mouth and a hearty appetite. Generous portions of turkey, Each lunch special includes at least four ham and Swiss cheese are layered between slices of fresh rye bread and garnished with fresh made chips and a pickle at West End Grill in St. Lucie West.

items, made fresh when ordered.

If you luck out, try the “Brunch Burger,” which is cooked to your liking and topped with sliced ham, a fried egg and cheese. A great side is the eatery’s thick steak fries – the perfect afternoon substitute for hash browns.

Should you miss your preferred plate on the specials list, don’t panic, Pietrzak said.

“If you don’t see it, ask for it. If we can make it, we will,” Pietrzak said. “And we do many times.”

A must-try lunch staple is West End’s “Uptown Special.” It’s three tiers of turkey, ham, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and homemade cole slaw on fresh rye bread, which is delivered each morning from a Miami bakery.

The cozy, 1,300-square-foot spot is St. Lucie West’s oldest, full-service restaurant still giving chains a run for their money, Pietrzak said.

For the past eight years, the New York native has run the restaurant with his daughter Kristie Jocelyn, exemplifying the true definition of “family owned and operated.”

“She is my partner and my right arm,” the doting dad said.

Pietrzak said the formula to success is simple.

“Consistency of the food, the service, the pricing is very reasonable and the ambience is very

pleasing,” he said.

On some days, lunch specials range from $8.95 to $13.95.

Dinner specials can include a 12-ounce boneless ribeye steak for $22.95.

Early bird specials are served daily from 4-6 p.m. and include a soup or salad, fresh baked rolls, an entrée and a chef’s dessert of the day. The average price is $14.95. Brunch is also served every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

At night, the dynamic space is transformed into an upscale dining experience with soft lighting and live acoustic tunes Tuesday through Saturday starting at 6 p.m. to closing on the elegant patio.

Dinner also boasts a minimum of three to four specials. There’s always a fresh seafood dish, whether it’s locally caught or shipped in fresh from the North East. A steak, such as filet mignon or a ribeye, is a common sight at night.
