Florida Medical Clinic is continuing to expand at a brisk pace, with an 85,000square-foot facility expected to open near Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel in March 2016, and a 15,000-square-foot expansion at its facility on State Road 54 in Land O’ Lakes now under way. The new projects are part of a story that dates back to 1993, when four practices in Zephyrhills decided to merge to gain advantages they could not secure independently, said Chris Alvarez, the health care provider’s chief financial officer. Since then, Florida Medical Clinic has grown to have 43 locations totaling 550,000 square feet, with 750 patient encounters each year. It has 235 providers, representing 33 medical specialties,Alvarez said. It also has ambitious plans. The five-year vision is to have 70 locations, with 1.3 million patient visits a year, Alvarez told those gathered at an economic development briefing organized by the Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce. Alvarez spoke at a luncheon meeting at Hoosiers Grille at the Heritage Isles Golf and Country Club on April 23. Florida Medical Clinic will be building

the new 85,000-square-foot structure in Wesley Chapel at 2352 Bruce B. Downs Blvd., north of State Road 56. “Obviously, the location is perfect for us. It’s very close to the hospital,” Alvarez said. “It’s a great location from a visibility standpoint.” There will be 60 physicians and 200 employees in that building,Alvarez said. “Everything we’re going to do at Wiregrass is going to be practices that already exist in the Wiregrass area or new providers that we’re going to bring in, or have already brought in, in anticipation of that opening,”Alvarez said. The new facility will provide a convenient one-stop shop for patients, as patients
will be able to see their doctor and pick up prescriptions at the same location, he added. In Land O’ Lakes, Florida Medical Clinic is building a 15,000-square-foot addition, at a location it opened in 2009. There’s room for another building there, which the clinic may construct sometime relatively soon, Alvarez said. When that occurs, Florida Medical Clinic’s total presence at that site will be 75,000 square feet. Just two years ago, Florida Medical Clinic expanded its main campus in Zephyrhills at Market Square to open a new urgent care facility. It also built a 12,000-square-foot office See EXPANSION, page 9A

When it comes to de-escalating aggressive behavior — different methods are needed for juveniles than the ones that work on adults, said Jeff Golden, who teaches criminal justice classes at Saint Leo University. Golden and other experts in law enforcement and criminal justice will be sharing their knowledge in a Summer Institute Course on juvenile aggression at Saint Leo University, May 5 through May 7. In addition to Golden, other experts who will be leading instruction are Lt. Tim Enos, who currently works for the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office; Norm Miller, an investigator assigned to gang prosecutions; and Deputy Dave Cappel, a school resource officer for the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. The class is being offered both for credit and for noncredit. Those who are not seeking credit can attend for free, provided there are still seats available. Besides exploring issues involved with
“Pain for a juvenile — and on a teenage brain — is like throwing kerosene on a fire. The pain is going to make them scream louder, fight harder, and they are not going to listen.” — Jeff Golden policing the teenage brain, the experts will cover: • Tools for de-escalating and preventing juvenile aggression • Techniques for communicating with troubled youths and building trust • Youth gangs and violence, impacts and opportunities • Crisis intervention teams and school resource offices, and what they do • Federal and Florida laws and agencies relating to juvenile • Causes of juvenile aggression and schools and solution • Bullying, harassment, violence and cyber bullying The vast majority of police academies
spend little to no time training patrol officers on effective techniques for policing juveniles, Golden said. Most patrol officers have been taught restraints that work well on adults, but that can actually escalate aggression in juveniles, said Golden, who teaches graduate and undergraduate classes in criminal justice, juvenile justice and law at Saint Leo University. “Most law enforcement agencies rely on some type of pain-inducing restraint to control someone physically,” he explained. “Adults understand: Stop what you’re doing and the pain will stop.

Construction crews give shape to Pasco’s first magnet By B.C. Manion
bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com
Seeking expert help
Construction crews are fully engaged in the project to give Pasco County its first magnet school, which is set to open this fall in Land O’ Lakes. Jason Petry, principal of Sanders Memorial Elementary School, has been immersed, too, in the task of hiring teachers for the school, which will focus on science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics. Interest in the district’s first magnet is evident. There were more than 1,689 applicants for its 762 student seats. Most of those seats have been filled, but some of those initially chosen have opted out, leaving some available for students lower on the list, Petry said. Students aren’t the only ones expressing a desire to be at Sanders. The school drew 180 to 200 applicants for its teaching staff. The vast majority came from Pasco County Schools, but there were also applicants from Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois and Arizona, Petry said. He was surprised by the out-of-state applications, since the openings were only posted on the district’s website. Hiring was nearly completed, as of last week. “We’ve hired our 40 teachers. We’re working on P.E. (physical education), music and art this week,” Petry said on April 24. While work is wrapping up on selecting the school’s staff, construction crews are still hard at work to complete the building. Sanders’ roots in Land O’ Lakes date back to 1948. The school district funded the redesign of Sanders in 2008, but the project was put on hold because the housing market crashed. The initial plans had to be updated because of changes in codes and to address the school’s curriculum needs. When completed, Sanders — located at 5126 School Road — will be almost entirely new. Just three of the former school’s buildings remain on site. The rest were demolished.
Sanders Memorial Elementary School is gearing up to become Pasco County’s first magnet school. The school, which will open this fall in Land O’ Lakes, will have a curriculum focusing on science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics. It is seeking experts in those subject areas to help enrich the learning experience for its students. At the moment, the school is specifically looking for experts in computer coding, robotics, drones, and the arts, said Principal Jason Petry. But he expects to continue adding to that list. Anyone who wishes to share their expertise would need to register with Pasco County Schools, Petry added. If you’d like to help out, contact Petry at jpetry@pasco.k12.fl.us.
relieve overcrowding at those schools. In the coming year, the school will be serving primarily Central Pasco, but there will be students coming from as far away as Zephyrhills and New Port Richey, Petry said. B.C.

PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
Baby Autumn’s visit inspires this column By Diane Kortus Publisher
It’s been a while since I’ve written a personal column. The last one was at Thanksgiving when I wrote about my many blessings in 2014, including my son’s renewal of vows a year after his wedding and his deployment to Afghanistan. I have written about Andy many times. I wrote about him when he graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and again when he became engaged to Erin, a sweet schoolteacher from Wisconsin. I wrote about their marriage a few months later, before Andy left for his deployment, and again when they renewed their vows after Andy returned home. I figured the column about the ceremony where Andy and Erin renewed their vows would be the last column about my son for some time. As my father often advises, I am wary of overdoing family columns because I don’t want readers to think of my columns as one of those dreaded Christmas newsletters that go on and on and on about their kids, their pets and travel. So, when I learned in December that Andy and Erin were expecting and I would

ECOFEST, from page 1A ganic farms, buy healthy pet treats, pick up some local honey, grab a bite from some food trucks or enjoy organic popcorn. There were loads of speakers and entertainers, too. Amanda Renaud, of Topsy Turvy, an entertainment group, strolled on stilts through the festival, towering above the crowd and flashing a bright smile. Samantha Petrone, who played the character Ariel from The Little Mermaid, had to be carried across North Boulevard, to be placed in her spot beneath a tree. She and other members of the Much Foundation, of Tampa, attracted attention from fascinated children and parents snapping photos of their youngsters, posing with the characters. Last year, the U.S. Green Building Council selected the event as the “Best Community Event” in the nation. Organizers are already beginning to gear up for next year. The date for the event has been set, and

people have already expressed interest in participating, Northrup said. “We’ve had many requests for signups for next year’s event,” Northrup said.“We anticipate another sold-out year.”
People who wanted to pick up some local honey had lots of options at the sixth annual EcoFest.

of doctors and specialists the company has partnered with, and where they are located, according to Alvarez. “We’re always looking for opportunities to grow,”Alvarez added. “We don’t really grow through acquisition,” Alvarez said. Instead, it grows as medical practices approach them with an
interest to join. “We just kind of merge their practice in. If you bring a practice, you become a shareholder. “In a perfect world, we build one large building, based on primary care. We have some some specialists that are based and fixed at that building, others that rotate
through a couple of days, as necessary, to provide support.And then we have the ancillary services, diagnostic imaging, potentially pharmacy, things of that nature.” Florida Medical Clinic’s model for growth seems to be effective,Alvarez said. “It’s been, obviously, quite successful,” he said.
ficer, the parents may get upset and tensions could ratchet higher. Proper training can help officers de-escalate tense situations, Golden said. “When juveniles are screaming, we need to speak softly. We need to say things that distract them or that cause them to no longer focus on their anger. “Anger takes an incredible amount of energy to maintain. Aggression takes an enormous amount of energy to maintain. “The sooner we can teach officers to deescalate a juvenile by diverting their attention from that anger or aggression, the faster the juvenile is going to de-escalate.” At the same time, there’s no instant solution. “I can’t flip a switch and turn them off,
but I can definitely dial them down. We teach officers how to do that,” Golden said. Police officers need to learn to distinguish between different kinds of aggression. Is the youth being aggressive deliberately, or is the youth displaying emotional aggression? It’s important to understand the distinction because the tools to de-escalate the behavior are dramatically different, Golden said. “Every incident an officer is called to — it’s an opportunity to reach out and help a youth. “The more they know how to identify potential problems, real problems, and actually get through to the youth and establish a connection … Once we’ve got them
calmed down … we can begin to communicate with them,” he said. The real answer to root out what’s causing the juvenile’s behavior and to address that, Golden said. “This isn’t some kid acting out for no reason whatsoever,” he said. In some cases, the anger and aggression may stem from a juvenile not getting the medications that they need, he said. “I’m not asking officers to become social workers,” Golden said, but addressing this issue requires a multifaceted response. “We try to prevent things from escalating, or exploding. We’re not going to arrest our way out of this,” Golden said. To register for the class, contact Karin May by email at karin.may@saintleo.edu.

TEENAGE, from page 1A “Their rational thinking will take over and they generally will comply,” he said. Not so for juveniles. “Pain for a juvenile — and on a teenage brain — is like throwing kerosene on a fire,” Golden said. “The pain is going to make them scream louder, fight harder, and they are not going to listen.” If there are other juveniles nearby, they’ll become more hyperactive. “Juvenile aggression is contagious,” Golden said, “so we need to isolate it as quickly as we can.

Thai fighting traditions in Land O’ Lakes By Michael Murillo
mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com
Muay Thai is a combat sport, and elements of it can be seen in popular mixed martial arts competitions on television. But at KOH Muay Thai, 6450 Land O’ Lakes Blvd., students get an appreciation for the sport that’s very different from televised battles. “You don’t see people disrespect their opponents,” said head trainer Ben Marrs, who is also co-owner of KOH Muay Thai. “There’s no trash-talking. If you knock your opponent out, you go see if he’s OK. You bow to him. If you have a good fight with someone, win or lose, you always show respect.” Marrs teaches Muay Thai the way he learned it: With the principles and customs that come straight from Thailand. His first trainer was from Thailand, and Marrs himself spent a great deal of time there, competing and learning the discipline from the place where it originated. While KOH Muay Thai has a ring where competitions can take place, most of their students don’t actually fight there. They have to earn the ability to spar, and most of them are there for fitness and the self-defense benefits. And those benefits can be pretty significant according to Marrs. “You can leave here in one class and take something away from it that will help you for the rest of your life. One class,” he said. Most students, of course, take more than one class.They become regulars. That includes his business partner’s son. Co-owner Melisa Philange put her son, Owen Male, into a Muay Thai program after she felt he wasn’t progressing in a different martial art. Even though her son is just 6 years old, Philange is happy with what he’s gained from it. “It’s fantastic. I love it. He does so well. He has a nice sense of respect for himself.” Learning Muay Thai, and the traditions that go with it, is good for young people, and can also help with problems associated
with bullying, Philange said. KOH Muay Thai is something people of all ages can learn and practice. One of the teens involved is Raef Toler. He didn’t originally see himself as someone who would become heavily involved in martial arts. But now that he’s found Muay Thai, he’s hooked. “I was anxious at first, but when I got in here I was like, you know what? This is something I really love to do,”Toler said. The Land O’ Lakes High School junior now comes by at least twice a week after school, both for self-defense purposes and for an intense workout. After just a few weeks, he’s excited about his progress and is interested in fighting on an amateur basis. Whether someone wants to start competing or simply wants to get in better shape, another philosophy they honor is the concept of togetherness. “It becomes like a family,” Marrs said. For him, that often includes cooking for a class that meets on Saturdays, preparing authentic Thai cuisine that he studied while overseas. But Marrs’ main passion is teaching, and after achieving the lofty rank of Kru Yai (assistant master) earlier this month, he’s in even better position to see his students transition into healthier, happier people. “That’s the best part. I watch people who join, they come in, and I watch their body change in four weeks, six weeks, eight weeks. And they feel so good about themselves,” he said. And for Philange, she’s happy to bring authentic Muay Thai to an area that has martial arts academies, but nothing as dedicated to the philosophy and spirituality of this particular discipline. “There’s nothing like it,” said Philange, who also lives in Land O’ Lakes. “It brings culture to our community.” KOH Muay Thai has a current promotion where students can take their first class for free. For more information, call (941) 7131257.

NOTEWORTHY kudos from our readers
Dear Ms. Kortus, On behalf of the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners / Animal Services, we thank you and your editor for covering all the wonderful things happening at the Animal Services Shelter. There are a lot of great positive changes that have occurred, and we are grateful for the support your newspaper has given to us. Hundreds of animals come through the doors at the shelter and it takes a community to see the animals get adopted into their forever homes. We will continue to raise adoption awareness and promote all animals to be adopted, until there are none.

As a result, the junior varsity team had one loss and one tie last season, and went undefeated this past season. That provides not only a good foundation for the softball program, but a talented reserve that Wilkins can use to replace graduating seniors on his varsity squad. It also helps to create a true team atmosphere that fosters camaraderie. “The girls get used to playing with each other. They understand the brand of ball that we play. And they enjoy it, or they wouldn’t still be there,”Wilkins said. That style of ball doesn’t include a lot of power hitting. Instead, the Gators try to remain unpredictable, combining strong

pitching with stealing, bunting and hitting to overwhelm their opponents. And with seven shutouts and eight games where they scored double-digits, that style is working. It’s also working for junior Gaby Santiago, who has played with the team since her freshman year. Santiago notices a big difference in the team since Wilkins came on board. “Since coach got here, team unity has gotten better,” Santiago said. “My freshmen year it was kind of a mess, but coach really brought us together over the past two years.” Wilkins showed the team that he cared early on, Santiago said. By showing up to their travel ball games, it was clear that he was serious about building a strong program and getting the most out of his Tori Wilkins connects on a pitch for the Land O’ Lakes Gators. players.

of game day, which has also improved team unity. Another activity Wilkins introduced to Land O’ Lakes is what he calls “positives.” After each game, the team gathers and gives positive feedback to each other, noting what their teammates did well during the game. “We always end with positives. After the game we circle up and everybody’s got to say something positive that somebody else did during the game,” Wilkins explained. Allowing players to hear praise from their teammates helps keep things in perspective, softens the blow when things don’t go well and lets the team end each game on a high note, regardless of the score. With a successful season in the books and a strong foundation in place, the future also looks to be promising for the Gators. They’ll lose four seniors, but have a skilled junior varsity squad to find replacements, and a team mindset to help the new players fit in. And even though they didn’t go as far as they wanted this season, Wilkins is pleased with their effort and success. “I couldn’t be more proud of them,” Wilkins said.
