Happy New Year!

I hope all of you had a nice holiday! Any big plans for 2023? I’m looking forward to a new year filled with peace, love, and a lot of laughs and I hope that finds its way to you, too. We made big changes in 2022, and I’m so grateful. We moved into our new office and it feels like we’ve found our forever home. We hired more staff (woo-hoo!) and created new events like Polk at Nite to get involved with the community more. We have so many big plans ahead of us, I’m excited to see them come to fruition in 2023. Thank you for supporting us by picking us up every month, advertising with us, and sharing your stories with us.

Thank you to everyone that sent me pictures of the cookies you baked over the holidays! It was fun to see what everyone had made. If you’d like to get your FB or IG post in the magazine, remember to tag us with #lkldhaven. Check out our Top Ten lists for fun things happening around town & I hope to see you out.

Have a beautiful January!

LHS WINS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

Lakeland High School’s football team edged Venice High in a tightly contested Class 4S state championship game. The Dreadnaughts’ won their eighth state championship, marking Bill Castle’s 474th win and seventh time finishing a season with a perfect record. They came away with a 21-14 victory over Venice, which won the Class 8A State Championship last year. The victory capped off head coach Bill Castle’s 47th season as the Dreadnaughts’ head coach.

LGHS SPANISH TEACHER TOP IN DISTRICT

Natalie McSwain, a Spanish teacher at Lake Gibson High School, was named Polk County Public Schools 2023 Teacher of the Year. MIDFLORIDA Credit Union gave McSwain a $5,000 check, and Lakeland Automall donated the use of a new Hyundai Elantra for two years. Julie Whiteley, the principal’s secretary at Fred Garner Elementary in Winter Haven, is the district’s School-Related Employee of the Year.

MIDFLORIDA gave Whiteley a check for $2,500. Both women received a custom ring donated by Herff Jones, as well as other gifts. PCPS also recognized the district’s Principal of the Year, Rodrick Gray from Laurel Elementary; as well as the Assistant Principal of the Year, Sarah Miranda from Mulberry Middle.

TALBOT HOUSE HAS NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Maria Cruz, a key figure behind Orlando’s homeless diversion and prevention program, has been named the new executive director of Talbot House Ministries, succeeding Brenda Reddout, who is retiring after seven years at the helm. Cruz, 42, joined Talbot House eight months ago as senior director of programs and services. Located in Lakeland’s Midtown area near the intersection of Parker Street and Massachusetts Avenue, Talbot House Ministries provides social services for adults experiencing homelessness. In her new role, Cruz said, her priorities in the first 90 days will be building partnerships, meeting with community stakeholders and donors, fundraising, and analyzing the budget and infrastructure of the organization.

WEDGEWOOD’S GOLF COURSE BEING DEVELOPED

Following four hours of presentations and discussion, the Lakeland City Commission approved a modified version of a plan for 954 homes, townhomes and apartments on the former Wedgewood Golf Course at Carpenter’s Home. In the process, the commission eliminated two apartment buildings with 20 units each from the plan. Residents and some commissioners were concerned about increased traffic in the area. The development, which will be called Gibson Trails, will be built in several phases; it now includes 834 apartments, 60 townhomes and 60 single-family homes – all on nearly 130 acres.

HEID’S CONTRACT EXTENDED

Polk County Public Schools Superintendent Frederick Heid’s evaluation by the School Board is in and shows he earned a highly effective rating from six out of seven members in August, when the evaluation was completed, with Kay Fields giving him an effective rating. In addition, the School Board voted 5-0 to extend his contract through the end of June 2027. Heid earns $255,000 a year and has the use of a vehicle to travel the school district, which is slightly larger than Delaware. The School Board offered him a raise, which he was going to donate for college or trade school scholarships, but income tax implications thwarted that plan and he turned down the offered increase. He earned an average score of 22.23 out of 24.

AIRPORT CONCENTRATING ON CARGO

Lakeland Linder International Airport has switched its expansion focus to cargo now that a multi-year effort to attract a passenger airline has drawn little interest, Lakeland Mayor Bill Mutz says. His comment came after a lengthy discussion about Amazon’s expansion at the airport. The commission voted 5-0 to approve an amendment to Amazon’s airport lease that allows for a new taxiway and two additional 767s flying in and out. Commissioners Mike Musick and Bill Read were absent from Monday’s meeting. Currently Amazon, the largest retailer in the world, has up to 24 flights daily in and out of Lakeland. The expansion will add eight flights in and out. Airport Assistant Director Adam Lunn said Amazon officials are hoping to have the construction finished by October.

FLORIDA AVENUE ROAD DIET PERMANENT

The Road Diet is here to stay. Lakeland city commissioners voted to recommend that the Florida Department of Transportation maintain a three-lane configuration on South Florida Avenue in Dixieland and remove the current temporary concrete barriers to accommodate sidewalks that would be 11 to 12 feet wide. Their resolution made several other recommendations, including left-turn signals at three intersections and banning non-delivery tractor-trailers “with an alternate truck route being determined around the Downtown and Dixieland Districts.” The decision follows five-plus years of discussion and months of tests to determine the effects of reducing Florida Avenue to three lanes between Ariana and Lime Streets.

PCPS NAMES PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARS

Polk County Public Schools recently celebrated 39 students as honorees in the 2023 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program and two Lakeland students as the district winners. The U.S. Department of Education initiative recognizes high school seniors for their accomplishments in academics, the arts, and career and technical education. Each year, up to 161 students are named Presidential Scholars at the national level. It is considered “one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students.” Eligible PCPS students are those who are in good academic standing, who either score high on the SAT/ACT or demonstrate achievement in Career and Technical Education programs. District winners for 2023 are Belen Valdivieso from Lake Gibson High and Cullen Wyatt from Lakeland High. They will represent PCPS at the state level for the Presidential Scholars Program.

FSC STUDENT DEVELOPS APP TO KEEP RUNNERS SAFE

Propelled by $20,000 she won in pitch competitions, 21-year-old Florida Southern College athlete Brooke Lierman is on track to market a device designed to make runners feel more secure. Lierman, an FSC lacrosse player and a member of the Catapult startup incubator in downtown Lakeland, developed OverTheShoulder, which uses smart sensors to alert runners to danger; they can then push a button clipped to their clothing to alert their contacts of the emergency and their location. “My true goal is to revolutionize the running experience for women and give them freedom from fear,” Lierman said.

HEARTLAND FOR CHILDREN NEEDS MORE FOSTER HOMES

Heartland for Children is in need of 25 additional foster homes in the Lakeland area to serve teens, siblings and children, including those with autism and developmental delays. Overall, the organization is hoping to add 50 new foster homes in its entire coverage area of Polk, Hardee and Highlands counties, according to Kim Daugherty, chief operations officer for Heartland for Children. Couples and single people can become foster parents. Heartland for Children staff initially attempts to place children with relatives and people who have known the children, such as neighbors or friends of the family. If these attempts are unsuccessful, then the children are placed in a licensed foster home, shelter home or group home. The agency prefers to place children in homes that are close to the schools the children are already attending. The agency works with caregivers to determine the age and gender of the children being placed in their home.

“Home & Family.” During the pandemic, they’d watched him on the Food Network and giggled over his ‘Jasonisms’ like “Butter my butt and call me a biscuit!”

Laurie and Caroline created a painting based around one such ‘Jasonism’ – “Happier than a rooster in socks.” The Hart Art pair presented it to the Food Network darling. “He was absolutely blown away,” Caroline said.

Inspired, the couple made more pieces centered around these whacky Southern sayings. “Because we’re both really creative, when he says something funny, in our heads, we can see it and then make it,” Caroline said.

They talked about their idea to paint his sayings with Smith over lunch – and he loved it! The chef was “happier than two skunks kissing in a corn patch” to work with Hart Art.

“Well, lord honey children, Hart Art artwork is some of the most awesome artwork I’ve seen in years, from the way that they bring the paintings to life, and how they take a one phrase sentence and turn it into a real-life object is just amazing,” Chef Smith said. “With every brush stroke to the ending product, the stories just appear. [...] They just care and take such painstaking time to make all my dreams come true.”

From the first painting the Harts gifted Chef Smith, he said, “I knew right then it was higher powers that had brought us together. For that reason, I knew it was going to be a perfect fit. I had always dreamed of a Lord Honey art line, and it just was a sign it was time to do that, and I had found the right people to bring it to life.”

Hart Art now has a two-year contract for collaboration with Chef Jason Smith. They’ve created a Jasonism-inspired series of one-ofa-kind paintings in their signature style on wood. Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity. They’ve also added distinctive limited-edition prints.

This month Hart Art will join Chef Jason for the Visit Lauderdale Food & Wine Festival, where he will be doing cooking demonstrations, and they will bring their artwork. Laurie and Caroline Hart have become family to the chef, “I just love them,” he said.

Though their roots spread far and wide from the U.K. to New England, the Harts love Winter Haven. Laurie said, “We know how important it is to get local support. […] The people of Winter Haven and all the surrounding [areas], they’ve been so supportive of us.”

The two artists love to take pictures of patrons with their work and hear the stories behind why a piece might speak to someone.

They aim to show the same support for local businesses, especially women-owned, like Stacy’s Printing, where they get all their printing done. Hart Art is open to any local shops, galleries, or businesses that would like to display their artwork.

Rubber Soul & Revolver

On the heels of their full-house summer “Abbey Road” show, Classic Rock Legacy Presents is back at the Ritz with a cut-by-cut live performance of The Beatles’ “Rubber Soul” and “Revolver” albums. The band will honor the albums in their entirety during two shows on Saturday, January 28, 2023, from 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 - 9:30 p.m. (doors open 30 minutes before showtime) at the Historic Ritz Theatre in Downtown Winter Haven. Don’t walk, “Run for Your Life” to centralfloridatix.com for tickets.

The show is made even more special by the recent reissue of “Revolver,” which was announced in September and released on October 28, 2022. “We didn’t know at the time that we were putting it together. […] We found out after we were doing it that they were reissuing the album,” said Classic Rock Legacy Presents vocalist and guitarist Daniel Pepin. Months before solidifying which albums they’d perform, drummer and vocalist Keith Coville told Pepin, “Those two albums [“Rubber Soul” and “Revolver”] were supposed to be a double album, but the record company wouldn’t let them do it.”

“I was hooked – I thought that was a great idea,” Pepin said. “We wanted to do something bigger than we did last time. What’s bigger than one album but two?”

Asked if he’d already snagged a reissue, Pepin smiled and said, “I haven’t picked one up because I know my wife well enough to know she probably bought it for Christmas.”

The Classic Rock Legacy Presents lineup includes Daniel Pepin on vocals and guitar, Bill Dorfschmidt on vocals and guitar, Jessy Rose on vocals and keyboard, Josh Grimes on vocals and bass, and Keith Coville on vocals and drums.

All members, save for Rose and Dorfschmidt, knew each other from a previous Beatles tribute band. Pepin began asking his musical compadres if they’d be interested in doing a Beatles project honoring the music, sans costumes, on a bigger stage. They were all in.

Pepin has known Rose, one of his oldest friends, since age nine when the two went to school together in the New England area. Rose joined Classic Rock Legacy Presents following a career as musical director for a major cruise line.

As for Dorfschmidt? “Bill is in every project that I do. He’s my best friend,” Pepin said. “It’s funny because I didn’t even ask him. I called him up on the phone and said, ‘Hey Bill, you’re in a Beatles band.’”

With all their Beatles in a row, Classic Rock Legacy Presents started rehearsing the very next week.

“There’s no one in that band that doesn’t love the Beatles and doesn’t respect what they’ve done and what they’ve contributed to other music even today,” Pepin said. “Even some hip-hop music has sampled Beatles songs. Their contribution is amazing. We’re trying to honor the music the way it’s supposed to be played. We’re not putting our spin on it. It’s not us trying to outshine The Beatles as musicians – it’s us trying to be them musically.”

For Pepin, The Beatles have a stronghold as his favorite band – no close second in sight. Nourished by nostalgia, one of his earliest musical memories is of his grandmother playing The Beatles’ “Eight Days a Week” on an old flip-top record player. The first time he heard it, he said, “That’s what I want to

be. I want to do that.” The Beatles prompted Pepin to get his first guitar lesson at four years old. A tough ask to be sure, and with much consideration on his part, Pepin’s favorite Beatles song? “Strawberry Fields Forever.”

Pepin, an accomplished guitarist who has opened for the likes of Godsmack, Cold, Breaking Benjamin, Mudvayne, and Disturbed, took a guitar-shredding sabbatical following the birth of his son. He returned to performing in 2021, debuting solo at the Winter Haven Farmers Market and picking up recurring gigs at what have become his home venues, the Pink Piano, Grove Roots Brewing Company, and Swan Brewing.

The last few years have been a propulsive ‘slow burn.’ “It’s been from me fighting to get gigs to now having them contact me, and I’m booked until May of next year.” Pepin is set to tour his original music throughout the UK this summer, and hopes to return to the Cavern Club, where The Beatles played. He’s currently sponsored by Canadian guitar company Godin – donning a Union Jack strap across the handmade guitar to honor his favorite band. Pepin’s music is available on all streaming platforms.

He and Classic Rock Legacy Presents bandmate/ best friend Bill Dorfschmidt, are also in a band called Evil Bill and the Strugglebus, rocking out to 80s hits (think burly dude with purple hair singing “Video Killed the Radio Star”). It started as a fun project, said the guitarist. Even so, they’ve gained traction and now have music on Spotify, Amazon, and iTunes.

As for the Classic Rock Legacy Presents Rubber Soul & Revolver show, Pepin said attendees can expect to “experience the music the way it’s supposed to be played by people who really love the music. That’s the vibe we’re going for.”

He added, “We’re doing those albums note for note – almost exactly. There are some mistakes The Beatles even made on their guitars that we copy to get that same feel. We really want you to be able to close your eyes and hear the Beatles.”

Along with all the “Wait,” “Eleanor Rigby,” and “Yellow Submarine” goodness, Pepin said, “During the encores, we honor every era of the Beatles from the mop top to the hippy days, so there’s something for everybody no matter what kind of Beatles fan you are.”
