Efforts on to settle renaming dispute

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Pasco County officials are trying to search out the historical boundaries between Land O’ Lakes and Wesley Chapel to help determine the name of a new road near Cypress Creek Town Center.

Finding out that information could help determine whether a new stretch of Wesley Chapel Boulevard should: • Be renamed Circle O Ranch Parkway • Be named something else • Keep the name it has

The roadway, south of State Road 56, is planned as a southern continuation of Wesley Chapel Boulevard that will connect with County Line Road.

According to county records, a compromise decision to name the road “Town Center Parkway” was considered, but then abandoned.

“I don’t think Town Center is historical, but at least it’s a new beginning,” said Sandy Graves, a long-time Land O’ Lakes’ resident and a member of the Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber requested the name

change to Circle O Ranch Parkway in December.The name would recognize the King family, whose ranch now is a prime development area for Tampa Premier Outlets and the Cypress Creek Town Center.

In the next weeks, meetings with groups who are at odds over the renaming will be held. Interested parties are being asked to provide evidence in the form of documents, oral histories, videos or anything that might shed light on the matter.

“We’ll put this in a staff report,” said Matt See RENAMING, page 11A

Watergrass girls on the run

By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

Watergrass Elementary school counselor Meredith Ward joined forces last year with third grade teacher Amanda Hoffman to start a girls running club.

Since Watergrass doesn’t have organized school sports, they felt it was a good way for their students to get active and develop interpersonal skills.

“I had heard about how girls running groups really helped promote empowerment and that kind of girl power mentality, and I just thought,‘Well, this would be really cool if I could start this here at Watergrass,’” Ward said.

The Watergrass Elementary Owls Run Club — for fourth grade and fifth grade girls — promotes healthy choices, and tries to build positive self-esteem and teamwork. It also focuses on setting goals and developing perseverance, as the girls begin their transition to middle school.

The club has provided an outlet for Watergrass students to socialize, outside of the regular school day.

“I’ve had some girls who’ve said, ‘I’ve made some new friends since being part of the group,’ and that’s important,”Ward said.

“We’re focusing on positive relationships with other girls, and how we need to work together and build each other up.

“It’s kind of a byproduct to the health and fitness, and goal setting that we’re doing,” she said.

Ward, an avid runner in her own right, was initially surprised in the amount of interest the afterschool club generated.

She had hoped to attract about 15 students or so. But, the club wound up with double that, at 30 members last year.

Currently, it has 33 members.

“We weren’t really sure what we were

Thursday after school, exercising in various open areas, as well as in nearby neighborhood communities.

It welcomes all skillsets—no matter how fast or how slow.

“We have a varied ability level,”Ward explained. “We have some girls that, maybe, without this group wouldn’t be very active, and then we have some that are already running a couple of miles a couple of days a week.”

Watergrass fifth-grader Elizabeth Parsons said the club is “really fun” because “we get to have more exercise.”

“I recommend (other schools) have running clubs, because it’s really good for you,” said Parsons, who’s in her second year with the club. “Some think that girls are not strong enough to run something, so we try to build up our self-esteem, and we encour-

Pasco County school buses have the green light to run on natural gas.

School officials expect the shift to save money in the long-term, while ushering in a more environmentally friendly fleet of buses.

On Feb.10, the Pasco County Planning Commission approved a recommendation from the county’s planning staff to allow construction of a bus maintenance and storage facility, and a refueling station on Interlaken Road in Odessa.

The approximately 24-acre site on the north side of Interlaken Road will have the capacity to accommodate about 120 school buses and 180 personal vehicles.

In the first year of the program, school district officials plan to buy 30 to 35 new buses that run on fuel known as Compressed Natural Gas, or CNG. Those buses could be in service by spring of 2017.

More buses will be added year to year,

slowly replacing some of the 470 buses in the fleet. The shift will reduce reliance on gasoline and diesel-burning fuels in favor of natural gas, which burns cleaner and emits fewer toxins.

Upfront costs are anticipated at about $1.5 million per year to buy buses.

However, the school district could be reimbursed $25,000 per bus, up to 10 buses, through a state rebate program.

Clearwater Gas System, which is owned and operated by the city of Clearwater will supply the natural gas.

The planning commission’s approval came with conditions to address concerns raised by nearby residents.

An 8-foot masonry ball will be built.

Activities within the compound will be set back 40 feet from residences, and efforts made to keep noise levels low.

Roadwork on a newly-extended Interlaken Road is under way. When completed in June, the two-lane road will have 6-foot sidewalks and an 8-foot multi-use trail.

The news on the Zika virus keeps evolving, as the number of travel-associated cases in the United State continues to grow.

As of Feb. 10, there were 52 travel-associated cases of Zika virus in the United States, including 16 in Florida, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Feb. 3 directed state Surgeon General Dr. John Armstrong to declare a public FILE PHOTO health emergency in Hillsborough, The Zika virus is spread Miami-Dade, Lee through bites of the and Santa Rosa Aedes aegypti mosquicounties relating to to, which is the same travel-associated mosquito that spreads cases of Zika virus the dengua and chikunfound in those guna viruses. counties.

At the time, those counties had reported a total of nine travel-associated cases of the Zika virus.

The Zika virus is spread through the bites of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which is the same species that spreads dengue and chikungunya viruses, according to the CDC. It also can be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy, the CDC reports.

It also notes that cases have been reported See ZIKA, page 11A

It’s Pasco County Fair time

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

At first glance, it may seem to be all about the rides.

After all, there are a lot of them.

Or, perhaps it’s all about the food.

Fried anything, anyone?

Or, maybe it would seem to be about the games or entertainment.

There are certainly plenty of choices.

But really, the stars of the Pasco County Fair are the kids and their livestock.

At least that’s how Clark Converse, general manager of the fair, sees it.

“The biggest thing about our fair is that we maintain our roots in agriculture in the community.That’s what really we’re about … it’s about the agriculture and the kids,” he said.

“We have great participation in that.

There are probably 300 to 400 livestock entries in the fair,” he said.

“They’re all from Pasco County,” he added, with no small measure of pride.

The fair, at 36722 State Road 52 in Dade City, is rooted in the desire to promote Pasco County’s youth and its other resources.

Although fairs had been held in the community dating back to around 1915, one hadn’t been held there for years until a group of local businessmen got together in 1947 and decided to begin hosting the annual event, according to the fair’s website.

San Antonio rancher D.E. Cannon led the group, which included agriculture agent Jimmy Higgins and businessmen George Nikolai, Bob Williams and Joe Collura.They found a 40-acre tract along State Road 52

Pasco County Fair WHEN: Through Feb. 21 (hours vary, check the website at PascoCountyFair.com) WHAT: Rides, food, games, entertainment, livestock and exhibits.

WHERE: Pasco County Fairgrounds, 36722 State Road 52 COST: Admission is $8 for adults, $5 for children 6 through 12; parking is free.

Wristbands are available for unlimited rides. Parking is free. (On Feb. 21, one child is admitted free with each adult)

and raised $3,500 to purchase the site.

The first documented Pasco County Fair took place between Jan. 20 and Jan. 24, 1948.

Besides giving families a chance to enjoy themselves, and visitors a chance to gorge on fair food, the event also provides a platform for youths to showcase their skills.

“We’re growing kids. That’s the focus,” Converse said.

“It’s important for me to give the kids in our county a chance to show off their talents and their skills,” he said.

“We respect your y speciall neeeds.”

“They can do their stuff at school … and the only people who see it are people who come to the school. But, to be able to put that out into the public at a fair is a great opportunity for these kids. They don’t have anyplace else,” he said.

At the fairgrounds, there is a huge school exhibit building where kids’ works are on display.

There’s also a Lego competition this year, “which is something new and different,” Converse said.

The fair also is reviving its bluegrass night and its gospel night.

“We’re bringing back Little Roy and Lizzie, which is a perennial crowd favorite in the bluegrass industry,” he said. Their show will be Feb. 17 at 6 p.m., at the Dan Cannon Auditorium.

“On Thursday night, we have an internationally known gospel group called The Hoppers, along with a quartet that’s actually part of the family, too, called The Hoppers 2.0,” Converse said.

That show will be on Feb. 18 at 6 p.m., at the Dan Cannon Auditorium.

The Hoppers are widely known, Converse said.

“We’re really excited about having them, because they’re a bigger name act than we normally get at this fair, because we’re just a small, country fair,” he said.

“Bringing the gospel (night) back, to me, is a big thing,” Converse added.

The fair, which runs through Feb. 21, also has a few other new twists.

There are some new rides on the Midway, there’s a new Disc-Connected K9s, Frisbee-dog show, and there’s a firefighter’s

Little Roy and Lizzy are scheduled to perform on Feb. 17 at 6 p.m., in the Dan Can Auditorium.

show that’s both educational and entertaining, Converse said.

The community pitches in to put on the fair, Converse noted.

“Over the course of the fair, between the directors and the committee chair people and all of the volunteers who help, there’s probably 400, maybe as many as 500 people.

“We’re all volunteers. None of us get paid for doing this. So, it’s a labor of love,” he said.

But, he thinks it’s the worth the time, effort and energy he invests in it.

“For me, agriculture in Florida is a very vital part of Florida’s economy and what Florida is. People aren’t aware of it.

“It’s important for me, and for us, to make sure that kids are educated in agricultural things, and understand that milk doesn’t come from Winn-Dixie and eggs don’t come from Publix, they come from cows and chickens, those kinds of things,” Converse said.

On the Cheap

By Michael Murillo vivamurillo@hotmail.com

t’s time to party like it’s 1399.

When you think of a Renaissance Festival, you might think of jousting, medieval-style costumes, arrows, swords and people eating turkey legs. And guess what? That’s exactly what you’ll find at the Bay Area Renaissance Festival, 11315 N. 46th St. Now in its 38th year, the festival sits in an area near the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa that has been converted into a European “village,” complete with all the characters you might find in that era.

And, the people tend to stay in character, too. Don’t ask them about websites and cellphones. They’ll look at you like you’re speaking a foreign language. But, if you want to catch a human chess match or some jesters on a stage, they can point you in the right direction.

There are actually several stages, located throughout the village, with shows running throughout the day. Some are musical, some

are muddy, and others are slapstick comedy. There’s usually a performance going on somewhere.

In addition to the aforementioned jousting and human chess, there’s also gypsy dancing, magic, traveling fairies, puppets, games of skill, and activities for younger visitors.

Plus, there are rows and rows of vendors selling items you don’t often come across in the 21st century.

It’s nice to walk around the festival and see all the different shows, games and events happening at the same time.

It’s not fancy, but the people are friendly, and it almost feels like you’re really in a small village from ages past, filled with colorful costumes and plenty of things to do.

That includes the visitors, who also dress up in pretty elaborate costumes sometimes. It’s not required, but if you have something that fits in with the time period, you’ll feel right at home.

It’s not exactly like old times, of PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE BAY AREA RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL course.

Knights will battle it out each weekend at the festival.

There are no famines or plagues to worry about, for example. So think of it as a visit to the past, only with plenty of food and drinks. And portable bathrooms, too. There’s something to be said for modern conveniences, right?

Unfortunately, there’s another modern aspect to the Renaissance Festival: At nearly $21 for adults, there’s no sign of 14th century pricing to be found. It’s a fun time, but not a cheap one.

Unless you read this column, that is. Because now you know that this weekend, Feb. 20 and Feb. 21, you can get in absolutely free.All you have to do is donate a little blood and you get a free pass to the festival.That’s worth a few minutes with the leeches, right?

I’m just kidding about the leeches. It’s a normal bloodmobile. But, it’s a great way to save a lot of money and donate to a good cause at the same time.

That’s a good weekend to attend the fes- A sword fight on a giant chessboard? It must be the annual Bay Area Renaissance Festival. tival, too.

On Feb. 20 and Feb. 21, the theme is “Highland Fling,” which includes Celtic dancing, a kilt competition and the Highland Games, which are part of a strongman-type contest.

That means watching feats of strength and heavy lifting while you enjoy a turkey leg. Hey, those can be heavy, too.

So, if you want to enjoy an annual tradition with plenty of games and entertainment, you can do it for free and help your community at the same time. No matter what century it is — saving money is always a smart move.

The Bay Area Renaissance Festival runs Saturdays and Sundays through March 20.

Parking is free. For a complete schedule, visit BayAreaRenFest.com.

Pasco’s global markets expand

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

When people talk about the global economy, they’re not just talking about deals that take place overseas.

Florida already plays a sizable role in international trade, and Pasco County companies are showing an increasing interest in attracting global customers.

About 100 people turned out to learn more at “Growing Global,” a half-day international exporting conference hosted by the Pasco Economic Development Council on Feb. 10.

The conference, held at the Renaissance Inn in Land O’ Lakes, featured speakers from international countries and business experts who provided information aimed at helping companies understand the markets, and also to help smooth the way for those interested in exporting goods and services.

Pasco County is increasingly part of the global market, said Bill Cronin, president and CEO of the Pasco EDC.“It (international trade) is not reserved to those big cities, like Orlando and Miami.”

The conference attracted business owners, Pasco County officials and representatives of the Small Business Development Center at the University of South Florida, Enterprise Florida, Tampa Bay Export Assistance Center and Pinellas County Economic Development.

Representatives from Canada, France, Germany and Mexico were there, too. They made sales pitches extolling reasons to do business with their respective countries.

They also shared data on imports and exports that already generate billions of dollars in global trade.

Louise Leger, acting consul general of Canada, reported that total trade between

PHOTOS COURTESY OF PASCO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL

More than 100 people attended ‘Growing Global,’ a half-day international exporting conference, hosted by the Pasco Economic Development Council.

Canada and Florida is about $8 billion annually.

Canada is the No. 1 source of tourism to Florida, Leger said.

About one in nine Canadians visit annually and spend a total of about $4 billion.

Canada employs about 27,000 Floridians in 300 companies located in the state, including Circle K and TD Bank.

With the exchange rate currently favoring the stronger U.S. dollar, Leger said now is a good time to invest in Canada.“We are there to help you be successful, whether it is here or in Canada,” Leger said.The consulate is located in Miami.

Max Stewart, regional manager of Enterprise Florida, touted the state agency’s upcoming trade missions to Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and Mexico City.

“This is the time to be thinking internationally,” he said.“The U.S. is really, really strong in this market.”

Trade missions can open doors to foreign markets more quickly, Cronin said.“It allows our companies to get a lot more exposure than they would otherwise get,” he said.

While the focus often is on products, Cronin added that services also are a growing segment of global trade.

Not everything sold overseas has to be something that gets “thrown in a box.A lot of people don’t recognize that,” Cronin said.

A brief panel discussion highlighted some challenges of doing business overseas including paperwork, obtaining work permits and cultural sensitivities.

The panel showcased local businesses: Earthworks Environmental, in Safety Harbor; York Bridge Concepts, in Lutz; and TwinStar Optics, in Port Richey.

“You need to have a strategy,” said Jonathan Brewer, owner of Earthworks Environmental, which specializes in soil cleanups. “It’s not going to happen overnight.”

Peter Thomas of TwinOptics makes opticals for laser-based weapons that require government approvals. “We worry about it being a weapon against the United States. A lot of time, we wait on (federal) government to get back to us.”

James York, of York Bridge Concepts, said companies that want to trade globally should

Bill Cronin, president of the Pasco Economic Development Council, welcomed participants to a conference highlighting opportunities for local companies to enter the global market.

Max Stewart, regional manager of Enterprise Florida, encouraged business owners to take advantage of upcoming trade missions to Costa Rica and Mexico City.

“bring something unique to the table and, at some point, they (trade partners) are going to say ‘Hey, we need that’.”

York Bridge Concepts specializes in timberbuilt bridges for golf courses, trails and residential developments.The company began more than 30 years ago in Tampa, but moved to Lutz in 2008.

“We work in a global environment,” said Gil York, the company’s director of international development and public relations.“It’s irrelevant where you are located. It’s how you market your business.”

With rare exceptions, people don’t like to think about their final breath on this earth. And yet, it is not possible to be born without having to face that eventuality. As a result, many families are left with making end-of-life decisions for their parents or other loved ones after they have passed. A wise industry member once said, “It always seems to be a rainy dreary day when I am with a family in the cemetery picking out property for their departed loved one, but it always seems sunny when walking with them pre-planning.” There is a lot of truth to that descriptive narrative.

Pre-needing allows for an individual to plan and prepare for their final arrangements, without the pressure of dealing with emotions surrounding a

death. Hence, instead of mom having to choose what services, casket, and property her departed husband would have wanted, pre-planning provides the couple the opportunity to work together to make those decisions.

Then, when an event occurs, the spouse is already aware of what has been planned and paid for. There are two primary economic advantages to pre-planning; a) the ability to lock in today’s prices and (b) to be able to pay for the arrangements over time. In many cases prices in the industry have more than doubled since 2000.

It always touches our hearts to hear the expressions of gratitude from children whose parents pre-planned. Preplanning is essentially a gift of love to those remaining after your passing.

Beauty Accents Studios Specializes In Pampering Special to The Laker / Lutz News

Beauty Accents Studios LLC, previously known as Beauty Accents by Marielle, began as a freelance makeup artistry business

by Marielle Calabria. Since childhood, Marielle has enjoyed helping family and friends get ready for special occasions, especially events that celebrate milestones for girls and women.

Besides being a professional makeup artist with over 20 years experience with bride’s makeup, special events, and makeup lessons, Marielle is also a licensed facial specialist who offers a wide variety of facial treatments that will make your skin feel and look renewed and refreshed. She also gives excellent manicures and pedicures.

Beauty Accents Studios, which opened its doors last summer in Lutz, is much more than just another hair salon.

It offers guests a unique experience that includes a full makeover package, consisting of hair, nails, facials, professional makeup and photography. Guests can pick and choose the services they want.

The studio is designed to work with women individually or in groups, but gentlemen are welcomed, too!

“We have the perfect setting for a 'Bridal Party Spa Day,' 'Mother-To-Be Pampering Day,' and 'Ladies Night Out' celebrations,” said Marielle. “We also work with girls getting ready for their 'Quinceañera' and host 'Fabulous Girl Parties' for tweens and teenagers.”

Having a photography studio on-site is

a plus. "Customers love the makeovers, and we love taking photos that they can post on social media, give as gifts, and share with their loved ones,” said Marielle.

Beauty Accents' recent Valentine’s 'Mommy & Me' event was a success.

Girls, moms, grandmas and aunts were pampered with makeup, nail polish, hair style, and topped off with a professional glamour photo, a perfect Valentine’s gift for dad or their favorite person.

Working alongside Marielle are Selma, Kellee, Viv, and daughter-in-law Maria Andrea, who recently joined the team. They are a wonderful team full of great ideas.

Beauty Accents Studios is in the Tropical Village shopping center on U.S. 41, across from WalMart and in the same plaza as Breakfast Nook. Its central location is convenient for clientele in Hillsborough and central Pasco.

Open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For appointments, call (813) 803-7375.

STOP CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN

RENAMING, from page 1A Armstrong, the county’s executive planner for the long-range planning department.

He hopes to have that available to Pasco County commissioners in March or April.

The effort is to give everyone a fair shake, he added.

But, county officials also are trying to put the focus on more than drawing a line between Wesley Chapel and Lutz-Land O’ Lakes.

Settling the boundaries also will affect future decisions on vision plans for each community.

“It’s more important to focus on the heart of the communities,”Armstrong said.

Pasco County commissioners unanimously agreed to continue the public hearing on the road’s renaming.

“It would be really nice to have some resolution to this contentious issue,” said Commissioner Kathryn Starkey.

Renaming roads can be a delicate matter, said Commissioner Ted Schrader.

He had some concern, though, about road name confusion with Wesley Chapel Boulevard, State Road 54 and State Road 56 all converging at the same intersection.The entrance into the outlet mall, also at the juncture, is Grand Cypress Drive.

“What really resonated with me was the potential renaming and how four roads are at the intersection, all with different names,” Schrader said. “That really stuck with me.”

WATERGRASS, from page 1A age people.”

The encouragement aspect of the club is especially important for students going through personal issues,Ward added.

“Sometimes we’ll do mini-sessions before we start running where everyone shares a compliment or shares something positive that has happened during their week,” the school counselor explained. “Some of our kids may be going through family changes or may have experienced some kind of a loss.”

Ward said a few adult volunteers from the school have stepped up to help supervise the group, thereby accommodating the girls’ varied running and walking paces.

“We try to kind of break the groups down...where one of us will push up so the girls who are capable of running more consistently can do so, and this year we’ve had some other adults walk...forming a barrier in the back,” she said.

The presence of other adults has been a

To date, county officials have met with area residents and members of the Central Pasco chamber.

A meeting is scheduled Feb. 19 with area residents and members of the Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce.

Developers with Sierra Properties, which is building Cypress Creek Town Center, also are participating in discussions.

“This isn’t a chamber issue to me,” said Graves.“It’s something the county did that was wrong and needs to be corrected.”

Hope Allen, president of the Wesley Chapel chamber, declined to comment on the issue.

The Land O’ Lakes community crafted a vision plan and presented it to the county in 2003.The boundaries were Interstate 75, State Road 52, the Suncoast Parkway and the county line.

But in 2004, and Graves says without notice, the county renamed County Road 54 as Wesley Chapel Boulevard.

But, Lutz and Land O’ Lakes mailing addresses exist along the boulevard, north of State Road 56. The outlet mall and the town center have Lutz addresses, while Stagecoach and Grand Oaks subdivisions have Land O’ Lakes addresses.

“Lutz and Land O’ Lakes have been together forever,” Graves said.The King family had a Lutz address, but were ingrained in the Land O’ Lakes community, she said.

Still, she is hopeful that a resolution will soon be reached.

“The history of our community is very important,” Graves said.

positive motivator for club members, Parsons said.

“They really encourage us,” the fifth-grader said.“For people that are behind, they say, ‘You can do it’ and ‘Keep up the good work.’”

The running club is currently training for the Watergrass Elementary Parent Teacher Association 5K on March 7.

Since the group meets just once a week, Ward said the training program is loosely based around the ‘couch to 5K’ program — jogging sessions at a comfortable pace, gradually adding more distance each week.

“Each week, we’ve been building our stamina...and the goal is for the girls to be able to participate in that race, and finish that race,”Ward said.“For some of them, it’ll be their very first 5K.” After the race,Ward plans to scale down the club until October, bypassing the warm weather conditions at the beginning and end of the school year.

“It’d be nice to do it all year, but once it gets extremely hot, there are some concerns about overheating and hydration,” she said.

ZIKA, from page 1A

CDC Advisory

of the Zika virus spreading through blood transfusion or sexual contact.

There is no vaccine available for the Zika virus.

The most common symptoms of Zika virus disease are fever, rash, joint pain and red eyes. The illness is usually mild, with symptoms lasting several days to a week.

Hospitalization is uncommon.

There have been reports of a serious birth defect of the brain called microcephaly in babies of mothers who had Zika virus while pregnant, according to the CDC. Knowledge of the link between Zika and birth defects is evolving, but until more is known, CDC recommends special precautions for pregnant women.

Microcephaly is a birth defect where a baby’s head is smaller than expected, when compared to babies of the same sex and age, the CDC says. Babies with microcephaly often have smaller brains that might not have developed properly, according to the CDC. The Zika virus also has been associated with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare disorder in which a person’s own immune system damages his or her nerve cells, but the CDC says more information is needed.

The Brazil Ministry of Heath has reported an increased number of people who have been infected with the Zika virus who also have Guillain-Barre syndrome.The CDC is working with Brazil to study a possible link.

The CDC recommends that people protect themselves by avoiding the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which bites primarily during the day.

To help protect yourself, the CDC recommends people: • Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants • Stay in places with air conditioning or that use window and door screens to keep mosquitoes out • Sleep under a mosquito net if you are outdoors or unable to keep mosquitoes out • Use repellents registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) • Follow product label instructions • Reapply as directed It also offers these additional tips: Do not spray repellent on skin under clothing, apply sunscreen before applying insect repellent and do not apply insect repellent on

The Centers for Disease Control has issued an advisory for women who are pregnant or who are trying to become pregnant.

Women who are pregnant should consider postponing travel to areas where Zika virus transmission is ongoing. If they do travel to one of those areas, they should talk to their doctor or other health care provider first, and be sure to follow steps to avoid mosquito bites.

Women who are trying to become pregnant or are considering becoming pregnant should consult with their health care provider before traveling and should follow steps to avoid mosquito bites.

Also, the CDC notes that it is safe for pregnant women to use mosquito repellent. It is safe for women who are breastfeeding to use mosquito repellent, too. Anyone using a repellent should choose one that is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency.

Source: Centers for Disease Control

Q&A

Q. Should a woman who has traveled to an area with Zika virus be tested for the virus?

A. She should see her health care provider if she develops a rash, fever, joint pain or red eyes within two weeks of traveling to a country where Zika virus cases have been reported.

Q. Can a previous Zika virus infection cause someone who later becomes pregnant to have an infant with microcephaly?

A. We do not know the risk to the baby if a woman is infected with the Zika virus while she is pregnant. However, Zika virus infection doesn’t pose a risk of birth defects for future pregnancies.

To protect your child, dress him or her in clothing that covers the arms and legs.Also, do not apply insect repellent onto a child’s hands, eyes, mouth or cut or irritated skin, the CDC says.

Zephyrhills High gets new football coach

By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

One of the challenges that will face Nick Carroll as the new head coach at Zephyrhills High will be to lead a program that’s been in the midst of turmoil.

The team was successful in the win-loss column, but its former coach was replaced after a report surfaced about an on-campus sex scandal implicating some members of the football team.

According to a Zephyrhills police report, the alleged sexual assault occurred on Sept.

1, and involved one female and several members of the football team after class hours on school property.

On Oct. 20, the female dropped the case after having difficulty remembering details regarding the incident, records show.

On Dec. 18, the case was closed after the Dade City State Attorney’s Office recommended no petition be filed because “the facts and circumstances do not warrant further prosecution,” records show.

Carroll, who graduated from Zephyrhills High, replaces Reggie Roberts, who amassed a solid 39-23 record in six seasons, including an 8-3 mark in 2015.

Carroll is excited about his first-time head coaching gig, which happens to be at his alma mater.

“It’s a great feeling, because I used to walk these hallways, and I used to walk into the same locker room,” said Carroll, who was a member of the school’s 1996-97 playoff team.“I can still imagine all the great times that we had.”

Prior to his current appointment, Carroll

was as an assistant coach at Sunlake High for nine years.

Working under Sunlake head coach Bill Browning, Carroll was responsible for coaching defensive backs, wide receivers and special teams.

After “paying his dues” at Sunlake, Coach

Browning feels Carroll is well-suited to lead the Zephyrhills football program.

“He’s a knowledgeable coach,” Browning said.“He has a passion for the game, and he works very well with the student-athletes.”

Also working in Carroll’s favor is his understanding of the “makeup of the Zephyrhills community,” Browning added.

However, the challenge of appeasing the football-crazed community won’t be an easy task, especially since Carroll is replacing a beloved coach in Roberts.

For Carroll, there’s pressure to be successful immediately – to silence doubters.

“Zephyrhills is notorious for having good football teams; you’ve got to win games,” said Carroll, who played college football at Mayville State University in North Dakota.“I take that as a great goal for me. ...We’re going to do things...in a positive way, to where we can get the kids to play the best game possible.”

Since taking over on Feb. 9, Carroll has a lot on his plate. He’s currently juggling his duties as the school’s physical education teacher and the implementation of his football program.

In between classes, Carroll has been meeting with current members of the football team, analyzing last year’s game film and filling out his coaching staff.

“I’m taking it one day at a time,” he said.

“I’m working my way around, trying to make relationships with these (players). I’m waiting until I get my staff in place until I have an actual players’ meeting. ...That way we can get going in the weight room.”

Carroll has already spoken extensively with the team’s top returning player in run-

ning back Antwione Sims, who rushed for 2,093 yards in 2015, setting a single-season record for his team.

The prospect of utilizing Sims’ talent intrigues Carroll as he deliberates what type of offense he wants to construct for the 2016 season.

“He’s a great running back. He’s very determined,” Carroll said about the 5-foot-11, 196-pound rising senior. “If you watch him on film, his feet are always moving. His legs are real thick, and as the game progresses, (defenders) start to fall off his legs.

“He’s a very hard runner,” he said.

The opposite side of the ball won’t lack for playmakers either, as rising junior Zander Lemay and rising senior Brett Lemay will anchor a stout defensive line.

While ZHS returns a solid crop of playmakers, Carroll must find a way to replace several key seniors from last year’s squad, including wide receiver Jackie Tucker, offensive linemen Austin Larkin and Jonah Thomas, and linebackers Artonyo Lee and Kevin Lee. The departure of several players will force the newly minted head coach to rely on youth in his first season.

“There’s a lot of young guys that are ninth and tenth graders that are going to play integral roles in the development of this team,” he said. “We’ve got to get these kids to believe.”

The development process starts with offseason workouts, Carroll said.

“The weight room is a huge, huge part of building success,” he said. “Discipline is a huge part of that, and making sure the kids are held accountable.

“That’s very important to me.”

Carrollwood soccer beefs up talent, schedule

By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

Jim Harte has seen a massive turnaround of Carrollwood Day School’s boys soccer program since he became head coach four seasons ago.

The Patriots varsity soccer program was just four years old when Harte arrived, and the team had been struggling mightily.

The team was winless in its first three seasons and had just won five games the year before Harte arrived.

Under Harte’s tutelage, Carrollwood has amassed an impressive 55-24-14 mark in four seasons.

Harte left a cushy gig at Clearwater Central Catholic—winning six state titles in 25 years—to help lead the turnaround of Carrollwood boys soccer.

Harte relished the challenge, but also saw the program’s long-term potential.

“I thought,‘Why not give it a shot? Why not take this blank canvas and see what we can do with it?’ I felt very confident the people coming up into the program were going to make it special,” he said.

Via his annual Marauder Soccer Camp— the longest running soccer camp in the Tampa Bay area, Harte was able to witness Carrollwood’s up-and-coming talent firsthand.

“A lot of CDS (Carrollwood Day School)

kids came to my camp as second- and thirdgraders, and they were good players,” Harte, 59, said.“There was percolating talent in the school that just needed to be harnessed.”

To help steer Carrollwood soccer in a positive direction, Harte enlisted the help of several assistants, including a former Brazilian professional soccer player by the name of Dudu.

“Dudu played in Brazil with some of the greatest soccer players ever. He came up in the time that Pele was coming up,” Harte said.“He’s forgotten more soccer than all of us will ever know.”

The Patriots finished the 2015-2016 season with a 15-8-2 record, but were 9-0 in conference play. Despite injuries to key seniors and a young roster that underwent growing pains, Harte said the season was “one of the most rewarding in my coaching career.”

While the team lost eight games — the most in a single year at the school since Harte became head coach — it’s because the team took on a substantially more difficult nonconference schedule compared to previous years, he said.

In an effort to “get better,” Harte scheduled games against the likes of Mitchell High, Lakeland Santa Fe Catholic, Tampa Catholic and Tampa Prep.

“We proactively chose to give ourselves a harder schedule this past year. We picked

some big fights,” Harte explained.

“If we had played the kind of schedule we’ve been playing in the past, we would probably be undefeated.”

Next year, Harte plans to follow a similar blueprint of scheduling tough nonconference games—hoping for matchups with Steinbrenner High and Palm Harbor University High.

In taking on such large public schools, Harte is trying to develop a team mindset of “picking on the bully.”

The tougher schedule could yield a couple of additional losses, but that doesn’t trouble Harte.

“Your record is a lot about how you schedule,” the Patriots coach explained.“You can schedule yourself a really good record, or you can schedule yourself an average record.

“We’ll be 1,000-to-1 underdogs in (those) games, but you never know until you play the game,” he said.

With a bevy of talented young players on the rise— the starting lineup included an eighth-grade goalkeeper, three freshmen, five sophomores and one junior — Carrollwood soccer figures to be a mainstay in the area for years to come.

Hunting for treasure in Webster Worth the Trip

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

I

f you can’t find the interesting and the unusual at the Webster Westside Flea Market, then you’re just not looking.

From a hog scraper, to a candlestick telephone, to a pair of 1950s roller skates with a key — the little flea market in rural Webster is a find all in itself.

In the pre-dawn hours, vendors arrive with their wares loaded in vans, pick-up trucks and car trunks stuffed to the max.

Then, they get to work setting up.

Some spread their trinkets out atop folding tables in the open air. Other arrange their items on rustic tables under covered sheds. Some scatter their goods on a plot of ground that is theirs for a day.

The ritual is the same every Monday, the only day of the week the market is open.

In winter — when the snowbird residents from up north migrate south — as many as 800 vendors stream in.Things slow down a bit in the summer season when the snowbirds reverse course. But, even then, 400 to 500 vendors unpack their goods at Webster.

With a 5 a.m., start time in winter, flashlights often light the way through rows and rows of vendors.

Bimmie Walters started out with a cardboard box of stuff that went unsold at her yard sale in Tampa. A friend suggested she take the box – probably some pottery knickknacks – and try Webster.

“I sold everything in the box,” Walters said.

That was 35 years ago.

“I fell into it,” she confessed.

And, now she and her husband, Ray Walters, are regulars at their permanent spot under a shed.

Webster can be as much about friendship as it is about sales.

Customers, especially the temporary snowbirds, stop by to get reacquainted.

“They expect to see you here,” she said.

Sometimes,Webster is about the thrill of the hunt.

There are things that one might expect: Picture frames, quilts, vintage clothes and Florida’s traditional pink flamingos.

And, there are less expected finds:A talking Pee-Wee Herman in his original box; a Grand Ole Opry Country Rose Barbie, collector’s edition, also in her box; and, a candlestick phone from 1915.

There are also doorknobs; buttons galore; a two-seater bicycle; a 1948 yearbook for Bowling Green State University; clip-on earrings; a Brownie camera; and a photographer’s flash pan.

And, that’s just to mention a smattering of the types of items to be found at the Webster Westside Flea Market.

Anthony and Amy Ray hung around on Monday after a motorcycle swap meet at the market site on Sunday.

“It’s something to do,” said Amy Ray, who lives in Edison, New Jersey.“You don’t spend much money.You walk around.”

Her husband searched for lanterns, fishing gear and thermometers.

“I like hunting for stuff and looking for good deals,” he said. And, he added, “I like talking with people.”

The New Jersey residents weren’t alone in finding Webster. Vehicles in the parking lots sport tags from nearby Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties — and from as far away as Ohio, Arkansas, New York and Michigan.

The little market with the big-time reputation got its start in the 1930s as a farmers’ market. Blue laws prohibited Sunday sales,

so farmers came on Mondays.

Over the years, people added arts and crafts, collectibles and antiques.

Webster’s Westside Flea Market officially got its name in the 1960s. There is an East Side Market that is smaller, but it is owned and operated separately.

Alice Cushman and her late husband became owners of Webster’s Westside in 1992.

“We were looking for a good retirement nest,” said Cushman.

The site in total is 80 acres, with Westside claiming about 35 acres. But, there is room to add more vendor locations, Cushman said.

Over the years, she said, “It has grown like an old house.”

On weekends, the site is opened for a car and motorcycle show/swap meet. It is the largest monthly vehicle show in Florida, Cushman said.

A leather auction and a circus also drew

crowds to the site on a recent weekend.

Both could become annual events.

In Homosassa, Cushman owns Howards Flea Market, which is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The growth boom in new housing is changing the makeup of shoppers, with more snowbirds becoming permanent residents, Cushman said.

“We’re benefiting from that,” she added.

Robert Borton owns a home in Zephyrhills, but also spends time in his native Michigan. In his spare time, he made birdhouses as a hobby, and now he gets creative with lamp shades made from colanders.

He is a six-year vendor at Webster.

“It gives me something to do while I’m here,” he said.

Apopka residents Nancy and Shawn Brennan are longtime snowbirds, but had never visited Webster until recently.

“We just never took off on a Monday,” said Nancy Brennan, who glammed before a mirror trying on an old-style pair of sun glasses.“I had friends who talked highly of it.We’re just looking for the interesting and unusual.”

Gail Walker looks for hard-to-find books, especially on the British royal family.

“I’m hooked on the royals,” she said.

Harvey Finkle is an optician on most weekdays, but Webster vendor on Mondays.

His mother gave him a taste for antiques and collectibles when she ran estate sales in the mid-1960s.

Alice Cushman, owner of the Webster Westside Flea Market, recalls the history of the market, which began in the 1930s as a farmer’s market. Antiques and collectibles were added later.

“I always helped her out as a kid,” he said.

He sells old toys, vinyl records, mostly from the 1960s, and optical equipment from the 1940s. Among his finds were a lens-ometer and trial lens set.

“I do this for fun,” Finkle said.“I meet a lot of interesting people.”

Shopping at Webster is a 15-year pastime for snowbird resident, Sandy Probst, and an obsession for her husband, Lester.“He will not go anywhere, except to play golf before he comes here,” she said.
