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 with-out 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 representa-tives 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 Flori-da’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

Greg Oravec wins mayor race; ready to get started
PORT ST. LUCIE — Greg Oravec will be back in City Hall.Oravec secured nearly 61 percent of
vote, winning 30 of 31 precincts over in-cumbent JoAnn Faiella to become Port St. Lucie’s next mayor.Oravec said he hopes to make transi-
tion 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 fu-ture. 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

Growing old gracefully Dear Friends, As you can see, I have had and continue
to have a full life. I am around people all of the time and it was getting very difficult
to understand what they were saying. My family and friends are so very important to me. I needed to improve the quality of my life by hearing better. I have been wearing my hearing aids since November 2013 and my quality of life has improved greatly. I am so very pleased with the care
and service provided by Joe and Tammy at Mutter’s Hearing Center. They go out of the

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 ambas-sador of the American Society of Plastic Sur-geons, 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 experienc-
es 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. At our surgery center, there are scrub techs, nurses, billers and front-office staff. For someone who likes to draw, there’s contracting, engineering,
architecture and interior design. You can build a skyscraper from doodles. We’ve compiled a group of local businesses in a rotation where kids can tour them and see the numerous jobs
that go with that profession. Most local owners started out as employees and worked hard to

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 go-
ing 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

The 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 terror-ists 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 substa-tion in California. Shortly before 1 a.m. on April 16, 2013, terror-ists cut AT&T fiber optic lines to knock out phone and 911 service to the PG&E Metcalf, California (near San Jose) electrical trans-mission 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 sub-station. The attack had been carefully
planned and resulted in extensive damage to 17 massive transform-ers in the substation; the loss of 52,000 gallons of transform-
er coolant, and shutting down the substation. It took nearly a month to repair. Fortunately, the state grid operator was able to avoid any blackouts. Summarizing the damage, in a
Feb. 7 letter to regulatory author-ities, 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. Electric utilities have been un-
der cyber attack for years. But,
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 coun-try — perhaps a trial run of what could be a coordinated attack on many electrical transmission sub-stations by ISIS jihadists. Recently, Jeh Johnson, Sec-
retary 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 at-
tack 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 re-placing, 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 at-tack, Google: “U.S. Risks National Blackout From Small-Scale At-tack. Federal Analysis Says Sab-otage of Nine Key Substations Is Sufficient for Broad Outage,” by Rebecca Smith, The Wall Street Journal, March 12, 2014.
Why electric service in Flor-ida’s peninsula is particularly vulnerable to attack Electrical service to Florida’s
peninsula is particularly vulner-able first, because the peninsula is basically limited to a single north-south electrical trans-mission grid. By contrast, most states have multiple grids that run east-west as well as north-south. Multiple grids provide grid operators with added flexibility. Second, Florida uses a lot of
electricity. During 2012, Flori-da 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 long-term blackout in Florida’s penin-sula could lead to extreme hard-ship and significant loss of life in southern Florida — particularly for senior citizens. Therefore, it is absolutely essen-
tial that the grid (and, particular-ly 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. Luc-
ie, 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 pric-es would likely tank, and there would likely be infestations of unpleasant and potentially dis-ease-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 substa-tion, 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 ongo-ing 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 Emer-
gency 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 acknowl-edges 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 dehy-drated. Sewerage treatment is also essential. Untreated sewer-age is an invitation to illness and death.

become owners.” Dr. Lee performs cosmetic and
reconstructive surgery, particular-ly 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 recon-
struction, 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 in-surance. 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 complica-tion 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 cele-brated her eighth birthday, and announced she didn’t want pres-ents, 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 pres-ents, 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

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 oth-ers 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 transi-tion seamless,” he said.Oravec worked for the city for
about 10 years, most recently in 2013 as city manager. His em-ployment 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 inves-
tigation that resulted in Faiella and council members Ron Bow-en and Shannon Martin receiv-ing 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 Shan-non 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, com-pared with her $89,393.The race wasn’t decided be-
cause 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 may-
or at 7 p.m. Nov. 17 at City Hall.

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 tack-led at Port St. Lucie’s 5-yard line. Two plays later, he tossed a swing pass to running back Basil Brad-shaw, 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 Centen-nial on its own 1-yard line. Odd-ly, 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, Brad-
shaw took a handoff from Ellis at
Port St. Lucie’s 8-yard line, broke a tackle and spun off another de-fender 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 touch-down, capping off season scoring.The game had extra sentimental
value for Centennial head coach Ron Parker because he coached his son, senior safety Aaron Park-er, in his final game.“It’s been great coaching the kid
… he’s been better than expect-ed. He’s really come on and done well,” he said, noting that Aaron had over 100 tackles for the sec-ond 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 play-
ers 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 end-ing note for the senior class.”

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — A St. Lucie West resident pleaded not guilty to second degree mur-der and aggravated child abuse charges.Michael Beer, 47, waived his
right to a formal arraignment and entered the plea last Friday in front of circuit court Judge Dan Vaughn.Beer’s son, Trysten Adams, 2,
was pronounced dead at Tradi-tion Medical Center Sept. 28 after Beer said he found Adams unre-sponsive while at home. Beer was the only adult with Adams at the time. Beer’s wife, Michelle Beer, was out running errands with the couple’s daughter at the time. A St. Lucie County medical ex-
aminer ruled the death a homi-
cide, due to Adams having lac-erations to his liver and internal bleeding and bruising from blunt force trauma.Michael Beer is being held with-
out bond in St. Lucie County Jail. His next court date has been set
for Dec. 10.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Shyrell Herrera heard a lot about her dad when she was growing up. “I thought my family was crazy,”
she said. “They kept saying, ‘Your dad is a hero; your dad is a war hero.’” Herrera was speaking at the
headstone monument dedica-tion for her father, Sgt. Ardie Ray Copas, on Saturday, Nov. 8, at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens, Fort Pierce. About 75 attended the ceremony. Some were locals; oth-ers came from all over the United States. Herrera said she now completely
understands that her dad wasn’t just a family hero, but a national hero. Copas is one of the Valor 24

Dennis Pickle, district manag-er of the St. Lucie West Services District, provided very reassur-ing information about water and sewer service during an extended blackout. The District manage-ment is well aware of the poten-tial 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 long-term 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 com-panies are common throughout southern Florida. The District also provides sew-
age treatment. In the event of a power outage, its facilities include large portable generators to sup-ply power to the sewerage lift sta-tions 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 custom-ers would experience any service disruptions.” However, she declined to an-
swer a key question: If all the home and business backup gen-erators powered by natural gas in a large region are operated at the same time (24/7) for an extended period (weeks or months), is Flor-ida City Gas capable of provid-ing the gas to meet this demand plus its normal demand? Anyone who owns or is considering the purchase of a permanent back-up generator should be provided with the answer.
Bad news Obtaining fuel for vehicles could
be extremely difficult during a long blackout. This would rep-resent an enormous problem. The 2013 Florida Statutes, Title XXXIII, Chapter 526, Section 143, “Alternate generated power capacity for motor fuel dispensing facilities” (available online), de-scribes the requirements for gas stations. It appears that most gas stations must be prewired with appropriate wiring and an electri-
cal transfer switch to “be capable of operating all fuel pumps, etc. … using an alternate generated power source.” So far, so good. But the require-
ment that gas stations actually have on-site generators is all but missing. For example, paragraph (5)(a) of
the statute requires, “Each cor-poration or other entity that owns 10 or more motor fuel retail out-lets located within a single county shall maintain at least one por-table generator that is capable of providing an alternate generated power source as required for ev-ery 10 outlets.” Author’s opin-ion: 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 (ser-vicing over 4.4 million custom-ers). 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 communica-
tions 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 vulnera-bilities, and how we are reducing them? Furthermore, FPL should be
credited with having completed an $800 million Energy Smart Florida grid upgrade that in-cludes a transmission perfor-mance 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-prof-
it, utility-dominated entity that oversees and regulates the re-liability 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 im-proving the reliability of the bulk power system.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (that provides over-sight to NERC) gave the industry until early June 2014 to propose new standards for the security of critical facilities, such as substa-tions. The Florida Reliability Coordi-
nating Council (FRCC) is one of eight regional entities located in North America delegated author-ity by NERC to insure reliability in North America. The area of the state of Florida that is within the FRCC Region is peninsular Flori-da, east of the Apalachicola River. This area is where we live. Stacy Dochota is president
of FRCC. When contacted, she refused to provide any informa-tion relating to FRCC’s efforts to assure residents of Florida’s pen-insula that the grid is adequately protected from attack.
Progress in securing the sub-stations? About a year after the attack on
the PG&E Metcalf, Calif., substa-tion, NERC released a proposal for actions utilities should take to increase the electrical grid’s security. The Federal Energy Reg-ulatory 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 ap-proaches 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 pre-viously 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 securi-ty 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 classi-fied information. However, we should demand
that the state government pro-vide 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 protect-ed 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
result in tragic storms like hur-ricane Sandy. This storm left se-niors stuck in high-rise buildings in New York City, left without power or use of elevators. Consequently, we need legisla-
tion that will assure the availabil-ity of necessary resources if there is a long-term power outage. The legislation should focus first on assuring the availability of pota-ble water for everyone, including those occupying buildings of all heights. Second, we must rewrite the
legislation pertaining to the avail-ability of vehicle fuel. This will likely be fought by the gas station owners. But, readily available ve-hicle fuel is absolutely essential. Without it, southern Florida will come to a standstill. Third, we need access to food.
This likely will require that super-markets 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 gen-erating 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 particu-larly 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 vul-nerable grid components. Contact:

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 hav-ing 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 heav-ily 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 Cor-
poration, 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 con-sidered, I-95 has been considered, and they are not viable. This is viable.“I-95 and the Turnpike get discarded pret-
ty quickly because it’s billions of dollars in infrastructure to build them. CSX is a com-bination of infrastructure needs plus opera-
tional issues,” he said, noting that All Aboard Florida could use the CSX line for a fee, but wouldn’t get priority over freight trains for routes and times.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-

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 Tra-dition — 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 gun-ner in Company C, 1st Battalion (Mechanized), 5th Infantry Reg-iment, 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 un-der 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 (Presi-
dent Richard) Nixon said we would only go 10 miles in,” Sperl said. Along with Copas, Jesus Du-
ran 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.

da added one along the Treasure Coast, Darrell Hoyer said.“There are two things people
need to understand. One: big business does this because they are required to. It doesn’t mean they are going to change their mind. Their business is going to continue right on. And the oth-er problem is, people don’t see the bigger vision … I understand their personal issues, but they’ve got to look at the bigger picture for this community, and what All Aboard Florida is proposing doesn’t do anything but make it
worse, environmentally, etc.”Although they don’t approve
of All Aboard Florida, the Hoy-ers said they liked the meeting’s format.“I do think the free-for-all is good
because we were able to talk to one of the gentlemen in charge of the project,” Jenene Hoyer said. “You also get to talk to other peo-ple and get their viewpoints.“I said to the rail people, ‘If you
want the support and the coop-eration of the people within St. Lucie County and Martin County and all the way up, you’re going to have to give something back to the people to help them benefit and grow and succeed,’” she said.

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 wom-
an named Patricia. She took our drink orders and brought us the menus quickly. There’s an exten-sive wine list with descriptions of each option for guests like myself, who enjoy wine but don’t know much about each type. As tempt-ing 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 perfect-
ly, 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 Yel-low 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, in-cluding blackened, grilled or jerk varieties. My guest has made frequent trips
to Rinelli’s, so he was well aware of their offerings, saying, “Every-thing 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

carrots.This one was my favorite. The
lemon sauce wasn’t overpowering and the fresh vegetables through-out completed the dish. The alfre-do 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 peo-
ple who work for you,” he said.Rinelli said he makes it a point to
buy every ingredient he can local-ly, 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. Call (772) 466-5474 to reserve a table.

came to be. “We’ve always had a fund-
raising luncheon, and for years we’ve outsourced the entertain-ment,” he said. “For the lun-cheon 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 con-cert thing, but people responded to it.” The plan was for a Lerner &
Loewe program at the luncheon and then two additional per-formances where proceeds go to help raise money for theater programs. Clifton said the pair was cho-
sen 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 Jere-miah 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 con-cert, 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 roman-tic, and the music speaks of that.” Clifton noted that many people
had tried to make “Pygmalion” into a musical and it took Lern-er & Loewe four years to develop it. “’Fair Lady’ suited their sen-
sibilities,” 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 informa-
tion about each show,” he said. It will not be a history lesson but a homage to two of Broad-way’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.”

Hundreds of craft and gift items, including holiday decorations, toys, fabric, haircuts and more will be on sale. Food, drinks and bake goods will also be available. Each year the bazaar provides
a forum for IRSC students to apply various skills learned in the classroom. IRSC business students plan, coordinate and organize this exciting event. The event features approximately 125 vendors, and hundreds of people typically attend the annual event. Funds will be raised through
various activities including a cut-a-thon, in which IRSC Cosme-tology & Barbering students will provide $5 haircuts. The Interior Design Sale will be
located in the Koblegard Stu-dent Union. The sale will feature accessories to beautify your home for the holidays, holiday fab-rics, as well as design displays and consultation. Students will be giving a presentation on the latest design trends and interior technology “Interior Design Solu-tions.” The Culinary Arts program will
do a cooking demonstration offer-ing mouth-watering delights for the most discriminating tastes. The culinary program engages students in real-world learning experiences at area restaurants augmented by classroom instruc-tion. A portion of all proceeds raised
by IRSC student activities will benefit the President’s Challenge Scholarship Fund. Through the IRSC Foundation, the Fund pro-vides full two-year scholarships to financially disadvantaged stu-dents who maintain good grades and complete high school.
For more information, visit www.irsc.edu or call (866) 792-4772.
