Crafts show set for December

By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

With a new venue in place, the 37th annual GFWC Lutz Arts & Crafts Show promises to be “bigger and better than ever.”

The show — one of the most popular events in Hillsborough County — will be on Dec. 3 and Dec. 4 at Keystone Prep High School, 18105 Gunn Highway in Odessa.

After last year’s show was cancelled due to a sinkhole at Lake Park, the GFWC LutzLand O’ Lakes Woman’s Club scrambled for about three months to find a new permanent venue location.

The club signed a five-year contract with Keystone Prep to hold the festival on the school’s property, which spans over 60 acres.

The 37th annual Lutz Arts & Crafts Show will be held on Dec. 3 and Dec. 4 at Keystone Preparatory High School in Odessa.

“We’ve got a lot more room,” said club chairwoman Faith Sincich.

Other possible venues — Land O’ Lakes

Community Center and the Florida State Fairgrounds — were also explored.

“Our club really banded together,” said Kay Taylor, art show director.“We have 100 members, and we had people from the whole club check out venues.”

The club is hoping for a “smooth transition” in the show’s first year at Keystone Prep.

“We’re trying to anticipate every single hiccup that can happen,” Sincich said.

The show director agreed.

“We know we have more to address,” Taylor said, “because the county provided things like dumpsters and electricity.”

The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

First-grade students at Lutz Preparatory School spent some time during this election year learning how the process of voting works and learning about biographies.

On Oct. 28, students dressed as historical Americans and presented their biographies to classmates and families. Some of these included Theodore Roosevelt, George Washington, Betsy Ross, Susan B. Anthony and Amelia Earhart.

On the same day, the students had an opportunity to enter voting booths and cast a vote for favorite school subject, favorite food and the reward the first graders would get for reaching their academic goal on the NWEA (assessments used to measure academic progress) testing in December.

The “President Palooza” enabled the students to experience that everyone’s vote counts.

Votes were tallied and displayed in a bar graph on the school fence.

Proposed Bexley Elementary boundaries raise concerns

By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

Parents raised concerns about potential impacts from proposed boundaries for Bexley Elementary at a Nov. 1 meeting at Oakstead Elementary School.

Parents raised questions about such issues as school choice, transportation and programming for the new school, which draws its name from a subdivision under construction off State Road 54, in Land O’ Lakes.

The new school, set to open in the fall, for the 2017-2018 school year, will provide relief for both Odessa and Oakstead elementary schools, which are operating well above capacity. Odessa is at 131 percent capacity, and Oakstead is at 144 percent. The proposed boundaries will also expand Lake Myrtle Elementary, an older school operating at about 80 percent capacity.

Some parents were dismayed at the likelihood their children will be rezoned to Lake Myrtle, a “B” rated school built in 1984.

“I know their school rating isn’t as high as Oakstead Elementary,” said Sarah Davis, whose daughter will attend Lake Myrtle. “I don’t know much about it, so all I can do is my research online, and since it’s not as great as a school, my concern is that she won’t get the help that she needs that’s she’s already getting.”

Chris Williams, the planning services director for Pasco County Schools, was the main speaker during a school boundary meeting at Oakstead Elementary on Nov. 1.

Dave Scanga, area superintendent for Central Pasco schools, said Lake Myrtle is “a great school.”

“It is an older building,” Scanga said, however, he added,“in terms of the traditions that Lake Myrtle has had, for a long time it’s always been top-notch.”

“I think all of our schools are good,”

added Richard Tonello, planning supervisor for Pasco County Schools. “Maybe grades aren’t a reflection of the school. You go to any of our schools, you’re going to see a great group of teachers, and they’re going to look after your child.”

Other parents expressed frustration over Bexley’s current unknowns, such as staffing dynamics and school schedule.

Scanga said potential teachers will be identified in March and April, after a new principal is named in December and assumes duties in February.

“A lot will happen once we get to February, and then it’s the (principal’s) job to let them play out the rest of the hiring and selection.”

He added:“As we get closer to the start of school, there will be all sorts of opportunities for people to come in, see the building and meet the people that are going to be in the building, too.”

Betsy Kuhn, an assistant superintendent in Pasco County Schools, anticipates several teachers from both Odessa and Oakstead to be reassigned to Bexley.

“It’s a very exciting opportunity for teachers to come in to open a new school, so we typically have a lot of interest,” Kuhn said.

Pasco to help homeless ‘navigate’ to better lives

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Pasco County is exploring a new program to address the needs of the homeless population. It would provide a one-stop location to provide shelter, and an array of services and resources for homeless individuals.

County officials are proposing to remodel two vacant buildings at 8239 Youth Lane in Port Richey, formerly the home of a Boys & Girls Club. Described as a “navigation center,” the site would be able to house up to 100 homeless people at a time, and be a central location for nonprofits and other agencies to provide “wraparound services.”

County officials provided Pasco County commissioners with a presentation on the program at the Oct. 24 meeting in New Port Richey. In a 4-1 vote, commissioners agreed to pursue the program, potentially as a 2018 budget item.

“It’s a chance to take a step forward. It’s a chance to give these people a hand up,” said Pasco County Commissioner Mike Moore.

“One of the things you don’t see is a facility like this in Pasco County.We’ve got to move forward on this.”

The commissioner serves as chairman of a citizen’s advisory board with the Coalition for Homeless in Pasco County.

Estimates put remodeling costs for the vacant buildings at about $1 million. County officials plan to pursue state funding.

Annual operating cost would be about $600,000, with funds from public and private resources.

The program is modeled after one adopted in San Francisco. County officials also are looking at other programs, including ones in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.

About 4,500 people are homeless in Pasco, with about 800 chronically homeless.

According to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, there are more than 100 homeless camps countywide.

Individuals stake out camps often in wooded areas all over the county, including west Pasco, Zephyrhills and Dade City, sheriff’s data shows.

Chase Daniels, assistant executive director of the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, said, “Having one of these low-barrier shelters

would be a game changer in Pasco County.”

Bob Dillinger, public defender in Pinellas and Pasco counties, said more than 30 percent of homeless in Pasco are children.

Perceptions of homeless people often are wrong, he said.

“They want a job.They want a safe place to live,” Dillinger said.

One homeless camp at a time would be relocated to the navigation center where people can live while case managers from various agencies provide counseling, job training, health care and educational resources.The end goal is creating a pathway to permanent housing.

The location for the navigation center met with some opposition.

Pasco County Commissioner Jack Mariano cast the lone vote against the proposal and lobbied in favor of the Mike Fasano Regional Hurricane Shelter in Hudson.

“I would like to see us doing a full look,” he said.“If there’s other alternatives, I want to look at those alternatives.”

The hurricane shelter already is equipped to accommodate groups of people, and has a full kitchen, he said.

Greg Phillips, chief executive officer of a nonprofit, Kids Kicking High, also asked commissioners to consider allowing his program to occupy the space at the former Boys & Girls Club.The program offers before and after school classes with a focus on martial arts, and is located off Little Road in New Port Richey.

Sandra Butler’s 8-year-old autistic son recently earned his white belt at Kids Kicking High.“That’s a big accomplishment for him,” she said.“This is a big need for our community.”

While county officials described the navigation center as being secluded, some area area residents expressed concerns during public comment that the navigation center would increase crime in their neighborhood.

County officials hope to dispel those concerns.

“The homeless are here,” said Cathy Pearson, the county’s assistant county administrator for public services.“It’s better to have a place for them than to have them loitering at your business or your lawn.”

The 4.5 mile, 10-foot wide U.S. 301 Bicycle Pedestrian Trail extends from Kossik Road to Dade City Avenue. It was built within the existing road right-of-way on the west side of U.S. 301.

Multi-use trail opens along U.S. 301

By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

Get ready for a safer—and steeper — ride.

The U.S. 301 Bicycle Pedestrian Trail is complete, allowing for riders to safely navigate through one of east Pasco’s busiest commercial corridors connecting Zephyrhills and Dade City.

The 4.5-mile, 10-foot wide trail — built within the existing road right-of-way on the west side of U.S. 301 — extends from Kossik Road to Dade City Avenue.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) constructed the $2 million trail as part of the larger, $12.5 million U.S. 301 resurfacing project. Construction lasted about 12 months, officials said.

Jim Edwards, Pasco County Transportation planning manager, said the 4.5-mile extension was a difficult undertaking, due to the sharp, rolling hills along U.S. 301.

“This terrain doesn’t make it any easier to construct this particular project,” Edwards said, during a grand opening ceremony on Oct. 27. “It was challenging, and also a bit more costly than I think it was originally anticipated...”

The multi-use trail was a collaborative effort among several local regional and state agencies, including FDOT, Pasco County MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization), the cities of Zephyrhills and Dade City, and the Dade City and Zephyrhills Chambers of Commerce.

The 4.5-mile segment is a connector to a larger trail network planned for the U.S. 301 corridor that will eventually extend from north of Dade City to the Hillsborough County line south of Zephyrhills.

“It’s part of something bigger,” said Edwards.“We’ll have a connected system all the way down towards USF (University of South Florida), and all the way to the

Withlacoochee State Trailhead, so this is an element of that — a 4.5-mile element of it.”

The Pasco MPO is currently determining options for extending the trail south of Kossik Road into downtown Zephyrhills.The northern extension of the existing Hardy Trail — from Church Avenue to Lock Street in Dade City — is programmed for construction in fiscal years 2017 and 2018.

“You’ve got to start somewhere, and this is what this trail basically does,” Edwards said.“It provides safety, health benefits, economic benefits, impacts tourism, and recreation. As you amenitize these trails, they practically become linear parks...and they really become more heavily used as time goes by.”

Pasco County Commission chairwoman Kathryn Starkey, one of the key advocates for the multi-use extension, said she expects the trail to be a “very popular” attraction.

“I know a lot of people are going to come over and use this, and bring economic benefit to the communities here along the trail,” Starkey said.

She added: “Pasco County is going to be the county in the state that’s known for its trails.”

Dade City Mayor Camille Hernandez echoed similar statements, calling the trail’s completion a “celebration of vibrancy.”

“This is too cool.This makes us special in Pasco County,” Hernandez said.“This is just a piece of a puzzle that’s so important to Dade City and Zephyrhills, and we just have to continue to put this puzzle together.”

“I think it’s a great asset to our cities — it enhances our cities and our communities,” Zephyrhills Mayor Gene Whitfield said.

The trail’s ongoing maintenance costs will shift from FDOT to Pasco County and its cities, officials said.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE Gratitude for two pups named Buddy and Travis

By Diane Kortus Publisher

I

’m at that sweet spot in my life when my time is truly my own. My children are young adults with their own homes and families, and while we talk almost daily, I see my son and daughter just a few times a year because of distance, work and other commitments.

But, this does not mean I am alone.

Instead of living with two children, I now live with two dogs — a beagle named Buddy and an Airedale terrier named Travis.

Believe me, this was not how I envisioned my life after kids. In fact, I always believed after the family dogs that my children grew up with had passed on, I would live a dog-free life with no one depending on me for their daily existence.

I fantasized how luxurious it would feel to be out with friends and not worry about getting home to walk and feed the dogs. I relished the thought of sleeping late Saturday morning, without a dog’s cold nose nuzzling me to get up to feed him and let him out.

But, my fantasy was just that — a dream that fortunately was not meant to be.

My reality of a dog-free life lasted just two months after I lost Jonas a year ago.

Jonas was my 10-year-old, much-loved Airedale that I had nursed through cancer treatments in the hope that he’d be with me for several more years.

But, when his cancer came back, it was just a few weeks before the tumors traveled to his brain, and I held him in my arms as he died.

If you ever lost a pet, you know how painful and empty that feels.And, you’ll understand why many people decide against getting another pet — because they don’t believe they can’t bear the pain of losing another four-legged companion.

Well, that was me.

air of confidence — despite the fact that all but one of Buddy’s teeth had been extracted because of terribly infected gums.

Between Buddy’s lack of teeth, and his very senior status, the folks at the Humane Society said Buddy had been in the shelter for several months because most people are looking for a young dog with no health issues. They said if I could open my heart and home to Buddy, there was no sweeter dog in their care that deserved a second chance.

After I was assured that a little warm water to soften his kibbles was the only special care Buddy needed, I brought him home to Land O’ Lakes.

When Travis showed up a few weeks later, Buddy, with his shelter experience living with dozens of dogs, didn’t seem to mind. Within days, the two dogs settled into a mostly peaceful, co-existence routine.

“I love caring for and empowering women of all ages through education.”

Imagine coming home from work, or walking around your garden in the evening, and admiring your moonlight garden just as the sun begins to set or during the early evening.

Moonlight gardens are planted purposefully so they can be enjoyed during twilight.

Planting one is easy, and it’s a clever way to design or redesign a section of your yard.

Depending on the size of your yard, you can create a large or tiny moonlight garden.

One of my favorite places to design moonlight gardens is in shady spots. Full shade areas, such as under a live oak tree, can be inviting spaces for moonlight gardens in hot Florida temperatures.

To get started, think about what kinds of plants look bright or interesting at dusk or in the evening.

One of my most beloved plants is a poet’s jasmine Jasminum officinale, a vine I purchased from a local nursery years ago. This vine blooms in part shade or even full shade. It has delicate, ferny foliage. The star-shaped, white flowers of poet’s jasmine bloom during summer, and its subtle fragrance scents the evening air. Once established, you can propagate cuttings and give them away to friends.

Never forget to add clumps of white flowers. White flowers not only make the moonlight garden pop; they also help Florida gardens feel cooler in hot weather. One showstopper is pinwheel jasmine. Pinwheel jasmine grows in sun or shade, making it an ideal plant for gardens like mine that have both sunny and shady areas. Pinwheel jasmine shrubs bloom with profuse, white flowers that fall to the ground after blooming.When not in bloom, the plant’s glossy, green leaves provide interest.

Include many different colors and textures of green. Different shades of green provide a beautiful and subtle backdrop for your moonlight garden plants. Plant leaves can be light green, dark green, shiny, variegated, and even lime or chartreuse.

Some of my favorite green plants for moonlight gardens include ferns, with delicate and arching light and dark green leaves, spiky irises, glossy ‘Awabuki’ viburnums, large palm trees (think fishtail palm or the graceful Areca palm), peace lilies, shell ginger, dark mondo grass, foxtail ferns, and Jasmine minima groundcover.

Variegated shefflera, variegated Jasmine minima, and even ‘Gold Dust’ yellow and green crotons can liven up a dark, shaded area or a sunny location.As a bonus,‘Gold Dust’ crotons are resistant to nematodes, making them a great plant for Florida’s sandy soils where nematodes are often present.

COURTESY OF NICOLE PINSON

Pretty jewel orchids have white flowers.

They provide interest when not blooming.

Check out some of the beautiful caladium cultivars, and sprinkle the tubers throughout your garden. Caladiums always surprise me because I often forget where I planted them.You can find pink, green, white, and red caladiums in fancy- or lance-leaf types. Caladiums also come in a variety of sizes. Some of the cultivars released by the University of Florida include ‘White Butterfly’, ‘Tapestry’, ‘Florida White Ruffles’ and ‘Florida Moonlight.’

Spice up the moonlight effect by adding clay, plastic or concrete pots that are either white in color, or that contain green leafy plants, or white or yellow flowers. Consider adding a white or pale pink arbor for vines to climb. Moonflower vines grow easily from seed and resemble a large, white morning glory.

Children especially like to grow moonflowers, waiting to see the flowers unfurl in the evening.The surprise is the pale, cream-colored star in the center of the flowers. Grow small plants such as jewel orchids and Cryptanthus in pots and place them in your garden or on your patio. Another name for Cryptanthus is earth stars. How appropriate for a moonlight garden!

When designing your moonlight garden, choose a few plants based on height and light preferences. I like to plant large groups of a single kind of plant, so the groupings make a big impact.

Now is a great time to plant a beautiful, Florida moonlight garden.

I would love to hear about your favorite moonlight garden plants. Please send me an email with your suggestions.

“I thought it was heartburn.”

Do You Know What a Heart Attack Looks Like?

When Heather felt some discomfort in her chest, the 45-year-old mother of four thought it was heartburn.

Twenty-four hours later, Heather was in the emergency room at St. Joseph’s Hospital-North with a STEMI, one of the most severe types of heart attack that occurs when a coronary artery is almost entirely blocked.

The best way to treat this is with a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 90 minutes of first receiving care from emergency medical personnel, but not all hospitals have this capability. Thankfully for Heather, St. Joseph’s Hospital-North was able to perform a PCI and open the blockage. Today, Heather is doing well and sharing her story to help others understand the importance of recognizing the signs and symptoms of a heart attack.

For a referral to a cardiologist: (813) 644-6772 Watch Heather’s story: StJosephsNorth.org

When seconds count, count on St. Joseph’s Hospital-North.

CRAFTS, from page 1A this year’s event may prove to be one of the largest ever.

The club expects to have 355 vendors — about 50 more than two years ago — and anywhere from 30,000 to 40,000 attendees.

“We’ve never been this full at this time,” Taylor said.“We have a lot of new vendors.”

Additionally, existing vendors,Taylor said, will have more distinctive offerings compared to previous shows.

“What they did 10 years ago isn’t what they’re doing today,”Taylor explained.“The crafts are more sophisticated and evolving.

It is a perfect place to go Christmas shopping.”

Attendees can expect to see a wide assortment of items, including paintings and photography, jewelry, plants, and various forms of art — metal art, wood art, yard art.

“If it’s a craft, we have it,” Taylor said.

“We’ve got some really unique items coming in this year. There’s a guy that makes lamps out of musical instruments.”

There will also be an eclectic offering of soap crafts, club members said.

“One lady makes hers in the shape of desserts, so her display looks like a bakery,” Sincich said.“It’s really a cool display.”

The show’s food offerings have expanded, too.

The club expects 14 food booths, which will be arranged in a U-shape, resembling a makeshift food court.

“We bumped up our food vendors,” Sincich said.“We have a cake vendor coming in, as well as an award-winning barbecue guy.”

The arts & crafts show is the largest yearly fundraiser for the club, which gives back to the community in the form of college scholarships and donations to local charities.

To make up for the shortage of funds triggered by the cancellation of last year’s show, the woman’s club hosted several smaller events and fundraisers throughout

37th annual Lutz Arts & Crafts Show WHEN: Dec. 3, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Dec. 4, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

the year.

Yet, it wasn’t enough.

Approximately $16,000 was taken out of the club’s scholarship budget as a direct result of the festival’s cancellation.

“It really hit our budget very hard,” said Pat Serio, head of public relations for the woman’s club.“We had to scale everything back. It’s been a very difficult year for fundraising.”

Show vendors, too, “took a hit” by last year’s cancellation.

“This was a big event for them,” Sincich said,“and the vendors are very anxious to be back.”

Described as a “family friendly event,” the annual shindig is a staple for the Lutz community.

“Typically, it is a very nice weekend,” Sincich said.“One thing I like about it is I see a lot of people and friends. It’s like a huge community event...and I’m really happy to welcome Odessa, because I think that’s kind of a similar community. It’ll be fun to incorporate their community with ours.”

Registry and new rules approved for donation bins

By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Pasco County commissioners gave final approval to regulations aimed at reducing blight from unattended and often overflowing donation bins.

They took a unanimous vote on Oct. 25 in New Port Richey.

The bins, which largely collect used clothing, often can be found in rights-of-way and parking lots. County officials say they attract illegal dumping of televisions, mattresses and furniture.

The new rules go into effect on Jan. 1.

Nonprofits and for-profit businesses will have to register the donation bins, providing county officials with information on where the bins are located. Contact information and a tracking number must be displayed on the bins.

Pasco County Commissioner Mike Moore brought the matter to commissioners in February as an example of countywide blight.

“This is just another step forward,” Moore said.

County legal staff members were asked to draft an ordinance to regulate the bins.

Some tweaking of the draft ordinance was done prior to the final vote. One change eliminated semi-tractors and trailers as donation sites that will be regulated under the new ordinance.

The new regulations generally restrict bins to general and neighborhood commercial districts, as well as light manufacturing and general industrial park districts.

Written consent from property owners must be provided.

A pickup schedule for emptying and maintaining the bins also will be required.

BEXLEY, from page 1A teachers outside our system, in our system, both experienced and new,” she added.

Sorting out transportation issues, too, was another focus of the hour-long meeting.

Scanga said bus routes will be reconfigured to accommodate the new school.

The Pasco County School Board provides free transportation to and from school for students who live more than 2 miles away from school.

Students who are selected to choose a particular school through open enrollment must provide their own transportation.

Pasco County’s school choice open enrollment period runs from Feb. 1 to March 1, for the 2017-2018 school year. Final determinations are expected around April or May. Extenuating circumstances and family hardships will also be considered, school officials said.

For example, students entering the fifth grade may have a greater chance to remain at their current school depending on the influx of school choice requests.

“It’s hard to make a decision until they know exactly how many students are requested,” said Chris Williams, planning services director for Pasco County Schools.

“In every past experience, we’ve been able to accommodate fifth graders.”

“It’s a process we go through…to try to accommodate as much as we can,” he added.

Scanga said he understands the frustration from parents, especially those who deliberately moved to a particular community for their children to attend a certain school.

“School rezoning always catches many people off guard,” said Scanga, “and also in terms of not getting what we had planned for, or hoped for.”

Scanga also noted:“One of the challenges we have—and it’s unique—is just how fast the growth is happening right here on the 54 corridor.We’re like ground zero. Much of Florida, like much of the country, just doesn’t have this challenge...of how do we continually provide the best education to children in the best facility possible.”

Last month, a boundary committee recommended boundaries for Bexley Elementary.

The committee selected an option that would include Ballantrae, Suncoast Meadows, Suncoast Pointe, Hayman/Fuentes,

Meadowbrook/Sierra Pines, and all of Bexley, which are east of the Suncoast Parkway.

Bexley Elementary also would include Swan View Townhomes, Ivy Lake Estates and Toscano at Suncoast, which are west of the Suncoast Parkway.

At nearly 96,000 square feet, the new school will have a capacity of 878 students, and is expected to have 706 students.

Oakstead, which had 1,095 enrolled students is expected to have 765 students, under the proposed boundaries. Odessa, which had 1,000 students, is expected to have 780, and Lake Myrtle, which had 587 students, is expected to have 616.

Students that would be shifting from Oakstead to Lake Myrtle live in these areas: Morsani, Woodville Palms, Cambridge/Lake Linda, Oakstead Area South, Cypress Cove/Village on the Pond, Meadowview/Country Close and Foxwood/Lake Heron.

The school board is scheduled to hold its first public hearing on the proposed boundaries on Dec. 20 and its second public hearing on Jan. 17, when it is expected to make the final decision on the issue.

While the committee recommends the boundaries, the Pasco County School Board has the final word on where the lines should be drawn.

Boundary guidelines are based on a number of factors, including future growth and capacity, socio-economic balance, school feeder patterns, and transportation.

“All of these guidelines we use, it’s a little bit of a balancing act,”Tonello said.

Bexley Elementary is the first of several schools (additional elementary schools, middle school and high school) planned within the Bexley development.

When those schools are built depends on the amount of growth within the community, as well as the amount of capital funding available,Williams said.

He noted the school district has accumulated nearly $500 million in debt capital, a hurdle in building new schools.

“One of the things that we struggle with as a district is our capital funding,”Williams said.“We are constrained—we can’t always build where we want to because of funding.

It might mean adding a classroom wing at an existing school.”

Construction costs for Bexley Elementary total about $20 million.

Zephyrhills routs Pasco in 9-Mile War

By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

Different year, same result.

For the second straight year, the Zephyrhills Bulldogs romped the Pasco Pirates in the historic 9-Mile War, winning in a 46-0 road shutout.

Zephyrhills (8-2) dominated on both sides of the ball, racking up 369 yards of total offense, while holding Pasco (0-9) to just 92 yards.

The Bulldogs, taking advantage of positive field position and several explosive plays from running back Myles Carter and quarterback Charles Harrison III, took a 32-0 lead into halftime.

A running clock ensued once the Bulldogs commanded a 39-0 lead with 9:50 left in the third quarter.

The final touchdown of the game turned out to be the most highlight-worthy: a 90yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter by Elijah Thomas, a 5-foot-6, 150pound junior tailback.

The rivalry, which dates back to 1941, has historically been one-sided, with Pasco leading the all-time series, 40-19.They previously won seven straight, from 2008-2014.

However, Zephyrhills won last year’s meeting, 50-16, serving as a microcosm for A large contingent of Zephyrhills Bulldogs fans made the crosstown drive to Dade City. the direction of the two programs the last two seasons.

The Bulldogs have reached the playoffs for the third straight season, while the Pirates are seeking their first win in a season-finale against Gulf High, also 0-9. The Pirates, coached by Tom McHugh, finished 4-6 in 2015.

Tracing the development of early Lutz Knowing Your History

By Doug Sanders

Special to The Laker/Lutz News

O

nce one of the most active stops for wood-burning locomotives, Lutz was settled with just a handful of homesteaders.

There was a store and a couple of houses there in 1907, and once the Tampa Northern Railroad was extended from Brooksville to Tampa that same year, the Concord Stagecoach Line went out of business.

But, that news didn’t discourage two brothers from West Virginia — William Paul Lutz and Charles Henry Lutz.

That’s because one of the largest sawmills in northwest Hillsborough County was the Gulf Pine Lumber Company — which was south of Odessa and owned by Charles Lutz.

In 1909, Charles Lutz built a tram track to carry his lumber 10 miles to the east, connecting his sawmill to the Tampa Northern Railroad at what is now Lutz Lake Fern Road and U.S. 41.

William Lutz — Charles’ brother — was the railroad engineer.

Most of the area was “nothin’ but sand,” according to the recollections of Dorothy Lutz Jones, stepdaughter of William Lutz.

“Then from there on to Tampa, there was nothin’ until you got there, down to the city,” Jones is quoted in an account published by local historian Susan A. MacManus, a William Paul Lutz professor at the University of South Florida.

MacManus and her mother, Elizabeth Riegler MacManus, wrote “Citrus, Sawmills, Critters and Crackers: Life in Early Lutz and Central Pasco County.

William Lutz is reported to have witnessed “strange events” as he engineered his train through such a remote countryside.

“It was not uncommon to come across public hangings and to see some unfortunate soul with his neck still in the noose,” the local history book notes.

According to his wife’s journal, William Lutz sold cars on the side and would take orders for a vehicle, and then strike one on the tracks with his locomotive.

“The railroad would pay for the damaged car, Lutz would buy it, have it repaired, and then sell it to his customer,” according to a published account.

William Lutz exhibited a better side of his nature to the family of Ella McDowell in December 1912. Ella had received a handwritten note thrown from the train by Lutz inviting her to ride with him to Tarpon Springs and spend Christmas with his family.

This gathering of the North Tampa Fruit and Vegetable Association on May 11, 1912, was at Feinsinger’s grove.

Volunteers gather in 1911 to clear land for the Lutz Cemetery.

The year — 1912 — was also a memorable year for the local residents demanding their own post office.

That was largely because the investors of the North Tampa Land Company.

C. E. Thomas, the company’s president, had been busy marketing “…a vast settlement where folks could buy tracts of land to farm and raise orange groves,” according to the MacManus’ book.

Thomas would eventually build the new post office, and donate land for the woodframe schoolhouse, cemetery and church.

He even provided jobs with his nursery.

But, when postal officials named the new post office “Lutz” on March 27, 1912, they helped cement the memory of the contributions of the two Lutz brothers, in an area still generally known today as North Tampa.

Lloyd Carlton rides his property in 1939.

First Lutz United Brethren Church was built in 1914.

Trains like these helped pave the way to Florida’s future.

PET of the WEEK

Buddy the beagle Nothing is cuter than a sweet beagle like Buddy, whose pink tongue adorably hangs to the side because he has no teeth to keep it tucked inside his mouth. When he was 10 years old, the Humane Society of Tampa Bay removed Buddy’s infected teeth before he was adopted by the family of Laker Publisher Diane Kortus. No teeth are no problem for Buddy, who like all beagles, is obsessed with food. A little water to soften his kibbles is all Buddy needs to make his food disappear.

Clinton is a handsome senior man that has been with the shelter since June. He walks well on a leash and, despite what you might think about old dogs, has enough energy to run circles around you. Clinton happily wanders all over the agility equipment and has a wonderful time seeking out as many toys as he can find. He will be a great fetch partner and is happy to meet everyone. Clinton knows ‘sit’ and is eager to learn more. Old dogs can learn new tricks!

Travis the Airedale terrier Travis is the second Airedale that Laker Publisher Diane Kortus has adopted from the Sunshine Airedale Club of Florida. Travis is keenly inquisitive, very affectionate and still plays like a puppy at 7 years old. Airedales are the largest terrier breed and, at 70 pounds, Travis is bigger than most.

Travis loves to go on walks in his Tierra del Sol neighborhood in Land O’ Lakes, especially when he leads his pack with Buddy the beagle and his owners in the rear.

Inky is a sweet 9-year-old lady who is new to the shelter. Her beautiful coat is as soft as it looks, and she is begging for someone to take her home and cuddle her.

ANIMAL ABUSER REGISTRY Hillsborough County’s Animal Abuser Registry Ordinance took effect on Nov. 1, marking a step in the county’s effort to prevent abusive owners from possessing or working with animals.

Under the new regulations, convicted animal abusers are required to register in person for the Animal Abuser Registry within 10 business days of their conviction.

Appointments to register can be made by calling (813) 272-5760, or emailing RegistryManager@HCFLGov.net.

The registry will contain the names, residence, photo and other related information of those living in the county who are convicted of an offense on or after Nov. 1, 2016.

The ordinance requires any Hillsborough County resident or vendor to check the reg-

istry for any transaction involving an animal, and bans the sale, adoption, transfer or exchange of any animal to a person on the registry.
