There are a lot of pets in Pasco County with full bellies thanks to Lisa Bekiaris and those who donate to Raffle Rescue, her animal advocacy group that provides food for animals in need.

MARCH 26, 2014

Lisa Bekiaris can’t remember any time where the welfare of animals wasn’t forefront on her mind. She grew up around animals in Maryland, and was always quite involved with her 4-H program there.When Bekiaris moved to Florida several years ago, she stayed busy with work and other projects. But in 2008, she read a newspaper story that would change her focus. “It was a story about the tough times people were having, and many of them couldn’t even afford pet food,” she said. While a lot of needed attention goes to See PETS, page 12

Daphne is just one of the many animals whose pet bowls have been filled, thanks to Raffle Rescue’s efforts throughout the county.

If you ask Todd Patrick, he did nothing more than anyone else would do if put in the same position. Word got to him that a teenager was living outside behind a supermarket, not far from a school he was attending.The temperatures were dropping to some of the coldest that Florida had seen in years, and the young man had nowhere to go. Patrick, the director of sales at Hampton Inn & Suites in Wesley Chapel, couldn’t stand the thought of him suffering or maybe even dying in the cold. He pulled out his credit card, went to the front desk of his hotel, and booked a room for the teen. Three months later, Patrick found himself in front of a conference phone with one of the chain’s vice presidents, Scott Schrank, on the other line.And Schrank had a surprise of his own for Patrick: a coveted Spirit of Hampton Award, a national honor only a handful of Hampton employees receive each year out of hundreds of applicants. “I love the fact that to you, people just don’t go unnoticed,” Schrank told Patrick. “This had nothing to do with hospitality, and that’s what I love about examples like this. You believe you were born to care, and you look for opportunities to give, and that’s what you did.” Patrick learned about the boy’s plight from Terri Williamson, a sales representative with The Laker/Lutz News. Williamson has had a strong working relationship with Hampton Inn general manager Janet Arnold for several years, and hoped Arnold could do See AWARD, page 12

They may be retired educators, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still keenly interested in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in district schools. So the United School Employees of Pasco-Retired hosted a question-and-answer session March 14 with Pasco County School board members Cynthia Armstrong and Steve Luikart. The board members offered some updates on district projects, but mostly they were there to listen and respond to questions. Beverly Ledbetter, a former district employee who now works for Saint Leo University, told board members that teachers are spending too much of their time preparing strategies, which is sapping their creativity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teaching is an art,â&#x20AC;? she said, telling school board members that care must be taken to avoid forcing all teachers to use the same strategies and approaches. Another member of the USEP-R told Armstrong and Luikart that teachers are being forced to spend so much time writing pre-tests and post-tests and analyzing data that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting burned out. The idea of teachers working as teams is aimed at helping teachers learn from each other,Armstrong said. There may be cases where administrators at schools are intruding in the process, Luikart said.As a former teacher and administrator, Luikart believes the swirl of controversy about the Common Core State Standards is probably mild compared to the

potential controversy over teacher evaluations. Teachers need to have flexibility, to be able to seize â&#x20AC;&#x153;a teaching momentâ&#x20AC;? when they sense it, whether it follows along with the teaching plan for that day, Luikart said. Teachers need to be given a freedom to use the tools theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve acquired, through education and experience. Another issue aired at the meeting involves the way schools treat substitute teachers. Some schools welcome them, while others treat them like outcasts, USEPR members said. When substitutes come in for training, they receive uniform training without regard to their previous experience. Instead of lumping everyone together, the district would be better off separating them into two groups, separating former educators from others, the retired educators said.The type of preparation the two groups requires is different. Armstrong is involved on a committee aimed at addressing substitute teacher issues and said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pass along those concerns. After the session, Luikart said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worried that teachers will be judged based on standards developed by people who are at that state and federal level â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people he says are completely out of touch with what goes on in classrooms. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only worried about the morale such evaluations can have on current educators, but the potential it has for thinning the teaching ranks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as current teachers get fed up with the bureaucracy and potential teachers decide to choose a different career.

County official says cancer gave her a new perspective By B.C. Manion bcmanion@cnewspubs.com

The women sat in a circle, quietly sharing the ways their lives have been affected by three devastating words:“You have cancer.” For one, the words were so fresh that she couldn’t quite wrap her mind around her situation. For another, those words have been uttered repeatedly and have caused multiple surgeries. One member of the group, Paula O’Neil — Pasco County’s clerk of the circuit court and county comptroller — had joined the women to share her story. For O’Neil, like for the others, finding out she had breast cancer was a jolt. “I was totally shocked. I really felt that I led a healthy life,” O’Neil said. In the area where the cancer was found, O’Neil had been previously screened with a mammogram and a sonogram and had been fine, she said. Statistics from the American Cancer Society, estimate that about 1.7 million new cancer cases will be diagnosed in 2014, and nearly 1,600 Americans per day are expected to die from the disease. When O’Neil heard she had breast cancer, she didn’t believe she would die. She said she’d met so many survivors through her association with the American Cancer Society that she didn’t expect that her disease would be fatal. “I figured I would make it through,” O’Neil said. But that didn’t mean the experience was easy. “I think the hardest time is between the time when you find out and you find out what they’re going to do,” she said. “You don’t how far it spread. You don’t know what’s going to happen to you.” It’s not easy for the family, either. “When you first find out you have can-

cer, you and your family, it’s like,‘Holy cow, are you kidding me?’And then, you start accepting it,” she said. Making O’Neil’s case more complicated is the public nature of her work.As clerk of the circuit court, she has a large staff of 150 people and many responsibilities. Before she informed her staff, O’Neil gathered her executive team around her to share her news. She wanted them to help reassure the staff that she was looking good and expected to be OK. She said she wanted to be sure she controlled the story, so she notified the press. “When you’re in an elective position, you have to be careful.You don’t want people to think you’re going to die,” O’Neil said. “I wanted the story from myself. I didn’t want rumors.” She said her initial concerns were about losing a breast and losing her hair.When she found out she needed a mastectomy, she

said she pushed for a double mastectomy to avoid having to go through a similar ordeal later. She was advised, instead, to have genetic testing done to see if she had a genetically inherited trait that made her at high risk for breast cancer. The result was negative, so she was denied the double mastectomy. Like most cancer patients, O’Neil did not want to lose her hair. Part of the reason was a concern for her appearance because she’s on television every other week, during Pasco County Commission meetings. “I don’t know if I would have done that with a wig. I didn’t want to look sick. It was real important to me not to look sick,” O’Neil said. She underwent chemotherapy, but she kept most of her hair. “I did the chemo cold caps to save my hair. I was able to freeze my scalp to save my hair,” she said.“It thinned. It thinned a lot.”

Patients wear a specially designed cap that is cooled to a very low temperature to constrict the blood vessels to prevent them from carrying the harmful drug agents to the scalp, thus preventing the drugs from damaging the hair follicles. The chemo cold caps are not covered by every insurance plan, but were covered by hers, O’Neil said. In addition to the chemotherapy treatments, O’Neil also underwent breast reconstruction, which resulted in an infection in her stomach for six months, she said. As she shared her story, other women in the group opened up. Some talked about how hard it is to tell others they have cancer. Other women talked about how grateful they are being able to share their experiences at the support group, which meets at The Center for Women’s Health at Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel. The women shared their pain, but also offered each other practical advice. For those who have trouble sharing their story, there’s a website called CaringBridge.com that allows communications to be shared with whomever they want to keep in the loop, one woman said. Another said there’s a website geared to helping organize the contribution of meals by others who care. That’s called, TakeThemAMeal.com. O’Neil told the women she was honored to meet with them. “We’ve all been through the same things,” she said.“I can tell you this: It’s not a path I would have chosen, but I’m very grateful, grateful for the experience. It gives you a different perspective on life and on how precious it is.” O’Neil said she’s always believed she would one day work at a cancer camp for kids. Now, when she does, she’ll be able to relate to them on a deeper level. “I’ll be able to say, ‘I’ve been through chemo, too,’” O’Neil said.

My father was in Florida last week to attend my daughter’s senior art show at Stetson University in Deland. Rachel graduates in May and she decided her art show was more important to have her grandfather attend than her graduation ceremony. So dad and my stepmother, Bettye, flew in from this year’s never-ending white wilds of Minnesota to a sunny and green Florida. Along with more than a dozen other family members and close friends, we rejoiced in Rachel’s artistic and academic achievements — all connected to Rachel by a lifetime of love as her mother, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin or friend. Of all the family in town for my daughter’s show, my father’s attendance was especially welcomed because he has been at my side for the most important moments in Rachel’s life. When she was just weeks old, dad came to Florida to help me with Rachel and to keep her big brother, Andy, entertained so I could focus on caring for my new baby. He was back when Rachel was baptized six months later, and again for her first birthday. When my family moved to Chicago two years later, he flew in to help me pack and then drove the family’s SUV with me in the front and Rachel and Andy in the back, to our new home in Geneva, Ill. Four years later when my family returned to Florida, dad was there again, this time driving one of two moving vans packed with my family’s possessions, and Rachel, once again, in the back seat. Rachel was in first grade when we resettled in Tampa, and dad and Bettye began their annual spring pilgrimage to Florida to spend a few weeks with my children and me. When Rachel turned 10, she began a reverse pilgrimage to Minnesota every summer to stay with her grandparents and visit her aunts, uncles and cousins. As Rachel’s interest in art blossomed, her grandfather proudly displayed her paintings and drawing in his home. He is so proud of her drawing of Pope John Paul II that it has become family lore that Rachel drew the pope just for him. No one visits dad’s home without hearing about his amazingly talented granddaughter. At every important family occasion, dad and Bettye have been there for Rachel.

When she graduated from high school in 2010, they were here to see her receive her IB diploma from Carrollwood Day School. Dad was back again in the fall to visit Rachel in Deland as she began her college career. As Rachel proudly showed off the Stetson campus, I remember him telling me that in a blink of time he would be back for her graduation. I looked at him like he was crazy — Rachel had just left home and four years seemed like forever to me. Of course, dad was right. It does seem like a blink of time since Rachel and I were at Bed Bath & Beyond filling a shopping cart with “must have” items for her dorm room. My father, who has more than 20 grandchildren, has the gift to make each one believe they are his favorite. I have always marveled at this, especially with my children who live so far away. But distance does not matter when it comes to love. My kids feel just as close to their grandparents living 1,500 miles away, as do their cousins who live five miles away. In fact, at the gathering to celebrate Rachel’s art show, my father told her that it is difficult for him to have a favorite grandchild, but for that day, it was easy. It was her special day, and she was his favorite. Dad’s visit this year to coincide with Rachel’s art show is especially poignant, because at age 85, it is more difficult for him to travel and get around. I can’t help but wonder if this will be one of his last trips to Florida. It is, after all, much easier for my children and me to visit him in Minnesota than for him to travel to Florida. I am so happy that dad was able to keep the promise he made four years ago to be here when Rachel graduated from college. We are blessed to have a father and grandfather in such good health and so full of life. My joy at dad’s visit also makes me reflect that he may not be here when Rachel reaches the next milestones of her life — when she marries, has her first child and gets the job of her dreams. I am extraordinarily grateful that my dad has been such a wonderful grandfather and has shared in so many of my family’s most meaningful moments.The examples he set about the value of family have taught my children about the strength of commitment, the power of love and the joy that comes from sharing important times with people we cherish.

Hours

Mon. - Fri. - 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays - 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Pokey is almost 2 years old. Her previous family abandoned her in an apartment complex parking lot when they moved out. Pokey has feline immunodeficiency virus, but her condition is easy to manage, and she must be an inside-only cat. She loves people and waits for her foster mom to come home every day. She’s just a sweet young thing looking for a perfect family that will never abandon her.

DENTAL

BITES

There have been so many changes in how dentistry is practiced since we opened our dental office 25 years ago in Land O’ Lakes. We want to use this dedicated space in The Laker and Lutz News to answer questions we are frequently asked and to share with you information about new innovations that make dentistry pain free and affordable.

Q What should I do if I knock a tooth out? A

With proper emergency treatment, a permanent tooth that has been knocked out of its socket can be successfully replanted and last for years. The sooner the tooth is replaced, the greater the likelihood it will survive. Ideally get to your dentist within 30 minutes. Find the tooth; do NOT handle it by the root. If it is dirty gently rinse the tooth in cool water, do NOT scrub or use soap. Do not wrap in tissue or attempt to dry off. Replace it in the socket if possible, holding it in with your finger or light biting pressure. If the tooth cannot be reinserted in the socket, place it in the cheek. Placing the tooth in milk is recommended if it cannot be left in the mouth. Do not allow tooth to dry out. Arrange to get to your dentist as soon as possible.

POLITICAL AGENDA

last week, Littlefield announced publicly he was against the toll road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is one thing I detest, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an unsolicited call,â&#x20AC;? Littlefield said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will hang up. Ladies and gentlemen, what I think we need to do on this unsolicited bid is hang up.â&#x20AC;? The next day, the lone Democrat seeking the seat so far â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Erika Remsberg â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said in a comment on LakerLutzNews.com that she was against the proposal as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I opposed a state roadway being a system in which those able to pay more have a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fast passâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; option like an amusement park,â&#x20AC;? Remsberg wrote.â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will impact those of us living and running businesses along (State Road) 54 negatively. I do not support this proposal.â&#x20AC;? Bob Robertson, who also is seeking the Republican nod, spoke out against the elevated toll road during a debate earlier this month, while his opponent Mike Moore has yet to take a public position.

REPUBLICAN CLUB OF CENTRAL PASCO MEETS Les Saland with A.S. Saland Solutions, will discuss the Affordable Care Act and the state of insurance in Florida at the Republican Club of Central Pasco meeting March 26 at 6 p.m., at Copperstone Executive Suites, 3632 Land Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lakes Blvd., in Land Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lakes. For information, call Steve Graves at (813) 996-3011.

POLITICAL LANDSCAPE AROUND ELEVATED ROAD LEANING NEGATIVE

Two more candidates seeking to replace Pat Mulieri on the Pasco County Commission have spoken out against the elevated toll road. Ken Littlefield, a former state representative seeking the Republican nomination for the seat, told a debate audience earlier this month that he was waiting to get more information before deciding whether he would support the project proposed along a 33-mile stretch between U.S. 301 and U.S. 19 on the State Road 54/56 corridor. However, during a town hall meeting hosted by Commissioner Kathryn Starkey

MOORE FUNDRAISER AT PRIMEBAR

Pasco County Commission candidate Mike Moore will host a fundraising reception March 27 from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Primebar at The Shops at Wiregrass, 28211 Paseo Drive,Wesley Chapel. To RSVP, email mike@mikemoore2014.com.

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how much we appreciate YOU...

LITTLEFIELD YET TO RAISE ANY OUTSIDE MONEY Former State Rep. Ken Littlefield jumped into the Pasco County Commission race to replace Pat Mulieri long after his two primary opponents, Mike Moore and Bob Robertson, but he has a long way to go if he wants to catch up to their fundraising. In his first full month running for office, Littlefield has not received a single donation, according to his campaign finance filings. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been working with $1,000, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money he loaned his campaign. Moore added another $1,650 to his coffers, and despite February being his slowest fundraising month yet, the Wesley Chapel entrepreneur has now raised more than $44,000 since last summer. All but $200 of his donations came from Pasco County. Robertson pulled in another $600 in February, bringing his total to $10,600. Only one of the donations, for $100, was from someone within his district. Erika Remberg, the lone Democrat seeking Mulieriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat, raised just over $450 over the past few weeks.A little more than $160 was what Remberg herself gave to her campaign, but the rest did come from Pasco County residents.

50% off

The Republican primary for the seat is set for Aug. 26, with the general election wrapping up Nov. 4.

ROSS GIVES MONEY BACK TO TREASURY

U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Lakeland, says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s returned nearly $88,000 from his 2013 office budget back to the U.S.Treasury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am constantly striving to do more with less while continuing to provide Central Floridians with the best constituent services,â&#x20AC;? Ross said in a release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I work for the people, and using their money wisely is of utmost importance.â&#x20AC;? Ross so far is facing Democrat Alan Cohn in the November elections, but has already raised more than $548,000 through the end of last year for this election cycle. Cohn, on the other hand, has raised $75,400, according to the Federal Election Commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever since I was elected to serve in Congress, I have kept my promise to promote a financially responsible government â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both in how I vote as well as how I run my office,â&#x20AC;? Ross said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have worked hard to ensure that every dollar counts, and I have returned more than a quarter million taxpayer dollars to the Treasury throughout the past three years.â&#x20AC;?

Woman’s club is a ‘shoe-in’

“Samantha truly has found the Fountain of Youth” “The nutrition guidance, training and support I receive at Pure Health & Fitness Studios empowers me to maintain the strength and agility of someone half my age! I am forever grateful for Samantha Taylor and her team taking such an intense interest in my health and wellness.

The GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club was recently honored at a Federation District event with a certificate of accomplishment known as ‘The Coveted Shoe Award.’ The woman’s club ranked highest in the district for its membership recruitment, nurturing and mentoring its current members, and maintaining membership levels through various criteria. The club is now eligible for consideration of national honors at the state convention. Showcasing the award are, from left, membership chair Cathy Mathes and club president Kay Taylor.

I encourage any woman, at any age to get started today and take advantage of the benefits you receive at Pure Health & Fitness Studios. Samantha truly has found the Fountain of Youth, for I have the energy and figure I had in my 30’s!! I also just attended my 55th year reunion and that really made me realize even more how much I appreciate my health and fitness, I was definitely the “youngest” one there! It’s never too late to make a difference in how you look and feel with exercise and proper nutrition but don’t wait…do it now!”

LIBRARY, from page 1 Periodically, there are special events, such as an American Heritage Tea Party or a Curious George Reading Day. Often, the library will offer a class or presentation or activity that’s designed to combine fun and learning, Stonebridge said. For instance, kids recently were invited to learn how to take photographs of themselves, known as “selfies.”While they were at it, they also got some advice on staying safe in cyberspace. The library recognizes that people of different ages have varying needs and desires. So, it customizes its programming. The pre-teen crowd has a hard time getting to the library because they lack mobility, Stonebridge said. One way to get them there is to encourage parents to bring them.To help make that happen, the library allows parents to drop pre-teens off for a couple of hours. While they’re having fun at the library, the parents can run errands, shop for grocery, meet a friend for coffee, or have a bit of time to themselves, Stonebridge said.The library does request, however, that the parent remain in the vicinity, in case something comes up and they need to return to the li-

AWARD, from page 1 something to help. Patrick overheard the need, and sprung into action without hesitation. “It’s the highest personal achievement award in the Hampton brand,”Arnold said. “You are nominated by your peers, and it’s just because we noticed you doing something that was extraordinary. We are really proud of this achievement.”

Todd Patrick, director of sales at Hampton Inn & Suites in Wesley Chapel, listens to a conference call where he is named one of just six Hampton Spirit Award winners, the highest form of team recognition award the hotel chain offers. Patrick helped get a homeless high school student get off the street and into a warm hotel room during freezing cold weather over the holidays using his own credit card.

brary before the activity is over. The library works hard to provide interesting programs for teenagers. One way they accomplish that is by involving teens in the planning. In exchange for serving on the teen advisory board, teens earn community service hours, have first dibs at other library volunteer opportunities, and get to have a say in the activities the library offers. “Here’s a chance for people to be listened to, to actually have someone want to hear what they have to say,” Stonebridge said. “We’re trying to hit them with the things they need and want at this point in their lives.” For instance, the library has an Anime Club, gaming nights, a Robotics Club and other activities. The library also has an on-demand service that provides help with homework and often can arrange for tutoring for students who need more assistance. Sometimes, free tutoring can be provided. At other times, they’ll offer referrals. The library is geared for people of all ages. For example, it has a teen gaming night and an adult gaming night.Teen gaming nights draw about 200 kids, while adult gaming nights draw about 50 people, Stonebridge said. The library also hosts senior citizen so-

After the cold weather subsided,Arnold and Williamson reached out to Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce and then honorary Wesley Chapel mayor Troy Stevenson. They put together a plan they hoped would help the young man finish school, without the distraction of not having a place to call home. Patrick wasn’t told he won the award until revealed by Schrank. Even then, he seemed uncomfortable with the attention, managing a little more than “Thank you very much” to the hotel employees that had gathered to honor him, including David Larson, managing partner of New Tampa Hospitality Group, which owns the hotel. “I wish you could see Todd’s face,” Larson told Schrank.“He is one of the most humble people I know, and he just goes out and does what he does every day. We are very proud of him.” The Wesley Chapel Hampton, located at 2740 Cypress Ridge Blvd., also had another honor to celebrate last week as well.The location won its fourth Lighthouse Award, a national honor that designates the hotel as one of the best in overall accommodations, service and quality, among the chain’s 1,900 locations. The Lighthouse is based on customer feedback measured through guest satisfaction surveys on the hotel, as well as product quality and service scores measured every three months. Arnold, however, is now looking straight to the top for the 94-room hotel next year. She wants a Connie, the highest award the Hilton Worldwide gives, named after its founder, Conrad Hilton. “We were so close the last time, and I know we can do it,”Arnold told her employees.“We just have to keep working hard.”

cials for people 55 and older. “We’re trying to give people a place they can socialize, make friends, reconnect,” Stonebridge said. It also offers help for people who are looking for a job, want to start their own business, or need help figuring out forms for government assistance, such as Medicaid, food stamps and unemployment benefits. People who have trouble reading or lack computer experience should not feel intimidated, Stonebridge said. “Don’t be hindered by your limitations of education or background or experience,” he said.“If you’re scared of computers, you just haven’t used them or you don’t read well, we’re here to help you with that.We don’t penalize people for that.We want to help you.” These services are free to anyone who has a library card, Stonebridge said. Library cards are issued for free and are available even to people who live in another county, as long as they have a library card where they live and have identification with their picture on it. And, on top of all of the activities and services, the library also offers books and DVDs for patrons to borrow.

PETS, from page 1 finding pets a home, there are many times when pets might have a home, but because of financial or health issues of their owners, their bellies go empty. Or just as bad, they are full, but their owners are not. “I have had people tell me, ‘I didn’t eat today because I had to buy dog food,’” Bekiaris said.“We as humans can go out and ask for help, but our animals solely rely on us as a pet parent, and too often we’ll make sacrifices for ourselves to keep them fed.” Bekiaris decided to take action, and in late 2008, she started Raffle Rescue.The idea was to make sure pets had the food they needed so owners and their animals can stay together, and no one has to make unnecessary sacrifices. She collects food and money from donors all over the county, many who make the trip to her Hudson farm. In 2013 alone, Raffle Rescue provided 27,500 pounds of food to animals. Most of it is distributed from Bekiaris’ farm, but some of it gets delivered thanks to the Meals on Wheels program. Some might question why someone who struggles to support themselves would also try to support an animal, but the issue is not as black and white as it may seem, Bekiaris said. Many got pets when they were not struggling, but later fell on hard times. For a lot of shut-ins, for example, their pet is the only company they have. “Pets aren’t just a piece of property.You can’t just get rid of it when it becomes too expensive,” Bekiaris said.“You took that animal into your life to care for it, and just because things get rough and difficult, you can’t just send them away. It would be just like sending away a family member.” Bekiaris is not the first organization to raise money to feed pets in need, but she may be the first to take her approach. Instead of simply asking for cash donations, Bekiaris provides incentives to give in the form of raffles. Various companies donate or provide significant discounts for prizes, and Bekiaris uses that to give away. Money is used to make up shortfalls in food, or sometimes to provide food that may not be as easily dropped off. Like hay. “We serve mostly dogs and cats, but we will not turn away any animal that someone can prove is their legal pet,” Bekiaris said. “That could be a pig, a goat.All you need is the documentation, and we will help you.” One family who receives help has a horse, and Raffle Rescue volunteers drop off hay to help keep her fed. Hay, however is expensive — more than $70 a bale — and horses typically eat two of them a month,

Donations are important to Raffle Rescue’s efforts, either in the form of food, or even money. However, instead of simply asking for donations, Lisa Bekiaris turns it into a bit of a contest, selling chances to win donated prizes.

Bekiaris said. Although Raffle Rescue started as a onewoman operation, it has since grown to need a number of volunteers, especially drivers to deliver food, and people to promote the various raffles the organization is conducting. She also is looking for other places around Pasco County that might be interested in becoming pet food pickup sites, especially on the eastern side of the county. Bekiaris, however, isn’t stopping there. She wants to expand her efforts in the near future to include an animal clinic on her farm, and even more ambitious, mobile units. Right now, some of the closest spay, neuter and vaccination clinics are in the New Port Richey area,Tampa or Brooksville. What’s holding those plans back, however, is simply staffing. “I have a building already here. I just need to find veterinarians willing to work with me to make it happen,” Bekiaris said. “We want our services to be low-cost, or even free.” Bekiaris also is always looking for pets in need. Her requirements are simple: be a resident of Pasco County, get some type of government assistance like welfare or disability, and something that shows you’re the legal pet owner. “After all that, we’ll make one home visit, and determine whether you need to get food delivered, or if you can come and pick it up,” she said. Raffle Rescue is a 501(c)(3), and donations may be tax-deductible. To learn more about the organization, visit RaffleRescue.org, or call (727) 6977034.

New academy will offer a head start for careers in agriculture By B.C. Manion bcmanion@cnewspubs.com

The agricultural industry is big business in Florida, and a new academy starting next year aims to give Central Pasco County students a competitive edge in that sector. Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural industry employs approximately 2 million people and contributes more than $104 billion to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, according to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;2013 Florida Agriculture by the Numbersâ&#x20AC;? report published by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. With its 47,500 farms, the state ranks 18th in the nation. In 2012, Florida ranked first in the nation in the value of its production of oranges and grapefruits, according to the report. But agriculture goes well with growing crops and tending cattle, said John Hagen, chairman and chief executive of Pasco Economic Development Council. It offers myriad opportunities in science and technology, as the industry seeks to find ways to get greater yields and prevent environmental damage. Central Pasco students who are interested in the industry will have a new opportunity to prepare for career opportunities in agriculture as Land Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lakes High School launches its Academy of Agritechnology next fall. Land Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lakes High has had a strong chapter in the National FFA Organization ever since the school opened in 1975, said school principal Ric Mellin. The academy will offer many of the same courses as the school has offered in the past, but also will begin providing opportunities for students to earn industry certifications while still in high school, Mellin said. The program will be open through the Pasco Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school choice option to students attending Central Pasco high schools, Mellin said. That means students who would normally attend Sunlake or Wiregrass Ranch high schools who have an interest in the program can apply to attend Land Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Lakes High. The application period for the coming school year has closed, but Mellin expects that the program will grow gradually in coming years. About a half-dozen students from outside Land Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lakes High boundaries have expressed an interest, Mellin said. He also expects a large number of Pine View Middle School students who will attend Land Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lakes High next year, to enroll in the program. Pine View has a strong FFA program. This program will give students an opportunity to prepare for careers in agriculture, as well as food and natural resources management. Students will learn about such things as animal and plant production and processing, marketing, agricultural mechanics, communications, human relations, and employability skills. They also will have opportunities to do laboratory work, prepare student projects and take advantage of cooperative education opportunities. One of the key strengths of having academies like this in high school is the opportunity it presents for a student to try out a career area before heading off to college, said Hagen, who chairs a committee that provides advice to the school district on its career academies. Students sometimes arrive at college thinking they want to pursue a particular career, but once they delve into it, they discover itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what they expected. Career academies give students greater insight into what they may encounter, he said. They also can help students develop skills that give them a leg up on the competition when they enter the work force.

Grants available to spay, neuter animals The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

Florida Animal Friend, an organization dedicated to saving the lives of unwanted cats and dogs throughout Florida, is offering a grant for organizations striving to make a difference in the pet over-population problem by providing free or low-cost spay and neuter programs. Each grant application is reviewed by a committee and scored in a number of areas including targeting important animal populations, ability to increase surgery numbers above the existing baseline, the cost-benefit ratio, the track record of the applicant, and

the applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainability. Once applicants make it past the committee, Florida Animal Friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors review applications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal of our grant process is to provide funds to assist in spay and neuter costs for deserving organizations throughout the state,â&#x20AC;? said Lois Kostroski, executive director of Florida Animal Friend, in a release. Grant winners will be announced in August, but applications have to be submitted by April 1 at 8 p.m. For more information on the grant, visit FloridaAnimalFriend.org.

Wesley Chapel sensei leads karate students to success By Michael Murillo mmurillo@cnewspubs.com

In some athletic leagues everyone earns a medal, ribbon or trophy for participating. In others, awards only are handed out to those who win them. So when 34 students from the Keiko Shin Karate Academy competed in the United Traditional Karate Alliance district championships and all 34 came home with medals, one might wonder how they got them. But make no mistake, those weren’t participation medals. Every student earned at least one award in the competition, showing off their karate skills and bringing home a haul of 60 medals total from the event, held March 1 at the University of South Florida. Their sensei, Ernesto Fuentes, was very proud of their success, but said that shiny medals aren’t the reason he teaches. “For me, seeing a medal is not as important as seeing the face of the kid achieving and winning something, the satisfaction of achieving something,” he said. Child development is ingrained in the dojo — the place where martial arts are taught — because it’s an important issue for Fuentes. In his native Venezuela, he was a successful trial attorney, often dealing with custody cases. He also has a master’s degree in child psychology. While his academy teaches students of all ages, he takes special pride in seeing the accomplishments of his young students and watching them succeed. But that success is not limited to the dojo or at a competition. Fuentes’ program stresses that the discipline and respect taught by martial arts should be applied to all parts of a student’s daily schedule. “Karate and marital arts is a way of life. I talk to my students every day,” Fuentes said. “I say ‘The same way you behave at the academy is the way you behave in school and behave at your house. It’s a 24/7 com-

mitment to be a better person and a good citizen.’“ Parents will often recruit him for guidance to solve a school or home issue, and he makes himself available to advise students when they need it. And his students respond in ways that sometimes even surprise themselves. “I wasn’t the best kid. I used to get in trouble a lot,” admits Caleb Embry, 13. A regular C student, once he started taking karate about a year ago, his grades went up to A’s and B’s. Martial arts also has challenged him to learn new things and compete, and he responded at the district championships with two first-place medals. He attributes his success to karate and Fuentes’ teachings. “Karate helped me stay straight,” he said. “It keeps you focused.” Jose Gomez, 15, also is direct about the impact martial arts has had on him.

“It changed my life, especially in the education area. It made me a better student,” he said.“I’ve been doing better in my life in general. Not only physically, but emotionally.” Where he used to go home after school and play video games, he’s now focused on karate, competing, and improving himself. That focus led to a couple of medals at the district competition, but improvement also has been seen in the classroom. “I was a C student, and when I started doing karate, I became an A student,” Gomez said. As a result, he received Long Middle School’s Turnaround award for his improvement. He even mentioned the influence that karate has had on him in his speech at the awards banquet. While Fuentes is soft-spoken, his martial arts resume speaks for itself. He was a national champion for 10 years running in Venezuela, and won an American champi-

onship in 1989. He said that seeing his students succeed brings out the same feelings he experienced in his own competitions. “It’s a little deja vu.Watching them compete, I get the same emotions, nerves, butterflies in my stomach,” he said. “The same things as when I was a competitor. And multiply it by 34.” While Fuentes challenges his students and drives them to constantly get better, he said the motivation isn’t a one-way street. He feels a strong responsibility to live up to the high standards he sets for everyone in the dojo. “They force me to learn. I need to be better for them every day,” he said. “I need to study for them every day, because I want them to be challenged every day.” The dojo is located at 3753 Bruce B. Downs Blvd. For information about Keiko Shin Karate, visit WesleyChapelKarateAcademy.com, or call (813) 994-9253.

This tour the closest most of us might get to this house By Michael Hinman mhinman@cnewspubs.com

It’s sometimes too easy to equate luxury with lots and lots of space. Just look at New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter’s nearly 31,000-square-foot home in Tampa. But the newest home model offered by Arthur Rutenberg demands elegance, but in just 10 percent of the space. “We are finally getting back into the upper echelon of the housing market again,” said Lew Friedland, president of Trinity developer Adam Smith Enterprises Inc. “We have really received a lot of interest in people that haven’t been shopping in our market for the last four or five years. It’s been a long time since we’ve had this much activity.” Friedland unveiled his latest model earlier this year in Trinity’s Champions Club, a 3,200-square foot model large enough to comfortably welcome a family, but not so spacious that it requires a large maintenance team to keep it clean. But this latest home isn’t exactly open to the average local resident. Getting a house just like this would set you back at the very least $550,000. Houses in Champions Club could top $3 million. “If you would’ve asked me in 1989 if I would be selling million-dollar homes in Pasco County, I would’ve looked at you kind of funny,” Friedland said.“We have multi-million dollar homes there now, and we feel like they have a good price for a good quality home.”

MICHAEL HINMAN/STAFF PHOTOS

Looking for a home like this? Just be ready to pay out $4,000 a month … just for your mortgage.

Bedrooms are smaller but plentiful in the Coquina house, proving comfort doesn’t necessarily equal lots of space.

Bedrooms might be smaller, but bathrooms are roomy. These homes have not only a large master bathtub, but also shared hisand-her showers, which can save time on a busy morning.

The dining room of Arthur Rutenberg’s Coquina model is in the front of the house, complete with 12-foot ceilings, and easy access to the kitchen area.

For those pool parties where no one wants to be stuck in the kitchen, Arthur Rutenberg continues the new tradition of having a complete food station outside, making sure no one is left out of the fun.

For most people, game rooms are normally the same as dining rooms or even kitchens. But this Champions Club model has its own game room, never far from a television.

Even on dreary days, it’s hard to pass up a dip in the swimming pool.
