Today, we honor our graduates

By Diane Kortus Publisher

Today’s paper is a record issue for The Laker/Lutz News.

There are 28 pages in two sections — eight pages more than we usually publish.

We can credit our increased page count to the 3,000-plus high school seniors whose names are published inside our annual special graduation section.

It was seven years ago — back in 2008 — that we began publishing the names of every graduate from the public and private high schools in our circulation area.

The paper you hold in your hands lists graduates from the two high schools closest to where you live. If you receive the Land O’ Lakes edition of The Laker, your schools are Sunlake and Land O’ Lakes. In Wesley Chapel, they are Wiregrass and Wesley Chapel. And in East Pasco, they are Zephyrhills and Pasco. If you live in Hillsborough County, you receive The Lutz News and your schools are Steinbrenner and Freedom.

You don’t have to be a graduate, or the parent of a graduate, to appreciate our keepsake, pullout section. Make it a point to scan the list of names to find kids you know from your neighborhood, church and through your friends.

Then, take a moment to send your congratulations in a text or email, or even better, make a personal telephone call. Graduating from high school is the first milestone of adulthood and the beginning of many more successes on the journey of life.The graduates you know will be proud to hear from you.

It is always thrilling to see your name in print, no matter how old you are. Our graduation section is the first time most graduates are recognized publicly for reaching a goal they’ve worked hard to achieve.

You may be thinking that kids today don’t read newspapers — instead they spend all day touching their mobile phones, computer keyboards and TV remotes. But they are touching this newspaper today and seeing their names and the names of their closest friends.

The tactile sensation of holding a newspaper and the smell of the ink contribute to the exuberance they experience when they see their name in print for the first time.

And that’s why today’s paper is such an important issue. It creates a spark of joy and pride for thousands of students we honor.

And, as silly as this may sound, knowing that this happens gives me goose bumps. It makes me very proud to be publisher of your community newspaper.

Circle K buys the Land O’ Lakes Plaza

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Circle K is the new owner of the Land O’ Lakes Plaza, a nearly 50-year-old shopping center along the busy commercial corridor of U.S. 41, at Hale Road.

The plaza, built in 1966, is considered to be Land O’ Lakes’ first shopping center.

Today, the approximately 2.4-acre plaza is occupied mostly by mom-and-pop enterprises including a barbershop, a liquor store, a café, a nail salon and an antique shop.

The $1.55 million sale between the plaza’s owner, A & M Somerset Inc., and Circle K closed about two weeks ago, according to Georgia Watson, a broker with Grimaldi Commercial Realty Corp. She represented A & M Somerset in the transaction.

“It was purchased as an investment,” See CIRCLE K, page 15A

They come strolling in, carrying instrument cases.

They settle themselves in — around the band room at Thomas Weightman Middle School — and begin tuning up.

As more musicians arrive, the practice glides into full gear.

This is a group that calls itself the Wesley Chapel Wind Ensemble, and they’re rehearsing for a performance called “Broadway Comes to Pasco” which is scheduled for June 13 at 7 p.m.

In addition to medleys from Broadway musicals, the program includes special guest Dana P. Rowe, who is a Broadway composer.

The evening will include the debut of an original arrangement of Jeremy Silverman, former professor of music at Saint Leo University.

June Hammond, an associate professor of music at Saint Leo University, directs the ensemble.

During a recent rehearsal, she put the musicians through their paces.

She coaxed and cajoled the musicians as they rehearsed — urging them to hit proper notes with precise timing.

Hammond has directed the group for about a year-and-a-half.

“One of my goals has been to grow the musicians. Challenge them mentally.

Challenge them physically. Teach them new things. I’m always looking for pieces that are going to push them, not only musically, but intellectually,” Hammond said.

At the same time, she said, “you have to temper that with pieces that are going to keep their interest.”

When people hear the ensemble perform, she said, they “are usually quite surprised by the wide range of music that we play,” she said.

Besides challenging the musicians, Hammond also enjoys sharing tidbits of her musical knowledge.

She may share a fact about Baroque music history, or tell the group about Beethoven’s habit of counting the coffee beans in his grinder, she said. Or, maybe she’ll tell them that Beethoven’s favorite food was macaroni and cheese, or that he routinely enjoyed fish

and potatoes on Fridays.

The Wesley Chapel Wind Ensemble began in 2007, when Glenn Weatherly, a newcomer from Michigan, decided to try to form a brass quintet.

“It actually started as a church outreach program,” said Weatherly, who was then attending the former Crossroads United Methodist Church.

Over the years, the group has evolved.

In the beginning, it rehearsed in a backroom of the Hyundai dealership in Wesley Chapel and then at the church. It has been meeting regularly at Weightman, which is located on Wells Road in Wesley Chapel, since 2012.

The ensemble, which now has roughly 40

members, has grown mostly through word of mouth, Weatherly said.

It is made up of people from all walks of life — including a banker, a caterer, a doctor, a teacher, to name just a few.

For Weatherly, the practices are close to home. He lives in Wesley Chapel. Others make the trek from communities including Lutz, Land O’ Lakes, Dade City and Zephyrhills.

They are of assorted ages and skill levels.

“Our oldest member is 85, and we have several high school students. Both of my daughters play with us from time to time,” Weatherly said.

Molly Bacon, a bassoon player, thinks it’s nice that parents can make music with their kids. “My son plays tuba here,” said Bacon, who also plays in three other musical groups.

Most of the musicians played in high school, and some played in college.

Some, like Bacon, play in several groups.

Others, like Dr. Sandy Lamphier hadn’t played their instrument for ages, before they picked it up again.

The group rehearses every Thursday night — except for several weeks in the summer. Typically, they practice for about two hours.

For some, the ensemble is their only chance to make music with a group.

“We have one home-schooled student.

She studies privately, but this gives her a

group to play in,”Weatherly said.

The ensemble is made up of mainly brass, woodwind and percussion instruments.

But, Weatherly said, “We have one violin.”

The group previously had a cello player, too.

Dues are $25 a year to cover costs for sheet music and other expenses.

The show they are preparing for includes music from West Side Story, Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar and the Wizard of Oz. “We have a special guest coming in, Dana P. Rowe. He is a professional Broadway composer,” Weatherly said.

Rowe composed the original music for Zombie Prom, the Witches of Eastwick and Brother Russia,Weatherly added.

“Because we have Dana Rowe coming to town, we actually hired Jeremy Silverman to work with Dana, and he actually arranged an original piece just for our group.

“This is a medley of Dana’s music. This has never been played before,” Weatherly said.

While the musicians look forward to performances, they enjoy their rehearsals, too.

Lamphier, who plays French horn, said she played the instrument when she was in middle school and high school, but then not again for more than 30 years.

Since joining the ensemble, “I, personally, have improved my abilities about 5,000 percent,” she said, via email.

“But that’s not saying much,” she added, “because I started at a very rudimentary level.”

She enjoys improving her skills.

“We do a lot of sight reading and are constantly challenged with more difficult music,” she said.

She enjoys the challenge.

“I look forward to being there each week,” Lamphier said.

Tips for coping with multiple sclerosis The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

Here’s a Q&A about multiple sclerosis compiled by Claire Mayone, an MS One to One nurse.

Q. What should you know about multiple sclerosis?

A. Multiple sclerosis, which is also known as MS, is a chronic disease that attacks the central nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. It damages the myelin sheath which is the protective layer covering the nerves that carry signals between the brain, spinal cord and the rest of the body.

It affects each person differently, with symptoms ranging from numbness in the limbs, to forgetfulness, to paralysis, or loss

of vision.

Q. What are some common symptoms of multiple sclerosis?

A. Symptoms of multiple sclerosis can vary among individuals.

There can be visible and invisible symptoms.

Examples of visible symptoms include: Walking difficulties and speech problems.

Examples of invisible symptoms include: Vision issues, cognition issues, pain, fatigue, numbness or tingling, and bladder or bowel issues.

Here are some tips for people afflicted by multiple sclerosis.

Whether living with MS or caring for someone living with the disease, it’s important to have strategies in place to help

manage the physical and emotional impact of MS. Below are some tips.

• Talk to your doctor about treatment options. Recent advances in treatments have allowed people living with MS to choose from a range of treatment options that may be right for them.

• Exercise. Exercise has been shown to increasingly benefit people living with MS. Dance, strength training, water-based exercise, tai chi, yoga and walking may be good options to try. Always be sure to talk to your health care provider before beginning a new exercise program to make sure it’s right for you.

• Utilize support groups. Support groups can bring people together who share common life experiences. They

often provide the opportunity to learn something new and share coping strategies, which can be very empowering.

• Accept help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed, discussing your feelings with your health care provider may help. A few stress-relieving tips to keep in mind might include: get a good night’s sleep, take a moment to unwind (meditation can be particularly helpful), plan ahead and get organized, which may play an important role in how you feel.

MS One to One is a program that connects MS-certified nurses to MS patients and their care partners 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Woman’s club project is two-fold GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club members are participating in an arts and crafts project brought to their attention

by Aniko Solomonson (shown with a bedroll) and Karin D’Amico. The women collected, folded and rolled into balls thousands of plastic supermarket bags, which were then crocheted into squares and assembled into portable, weatherproof bedrolls for the homeless. About 500 to 700 plastic bags are required for each bedroll, along with at least a week’s worth of spare time to crochet and stitch. The project not only makes the needy more comfortable, but it helps remove plastic from landfills.

A SPECIAL KEEPSAKE EDITION FOR GRADUATES, THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS

CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2015!

Graduation: A time of endings and beginnings

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

By the end of this graduation season, thousands of students from public and private high schools in Pasco and Hillsborough counties will hold a diploma that signifies the act of stepping across the threshold from high school into adult life.

In some ways, the ceremonies will be similar to graduation celebrations everywhere. There will be speeches and music, and the customary reading of the graduates’ names.

But each ceremony will be unique, too, as each graduate has his or her own story, and those gathered are there to celebrate that individual’s accomplishments.

Many graduates have distinguished themselves by going far beyond the call of duty.

They have demonstrated a commitment to learning by achieving grade point averages well beyond the 4.0 achieved by earning straight As in traditional courses.

These students tackled a more rigorous curriculum, including Advanced Placement and dual enrollment courses that can earn them college credit during high school.

For instance, Alessandra Stooks, valedictorian at Steinbrenner and Freedom high schools Steinbrenner High, achieved a each will host their ceremony at the Florida 7.72 grade point average.

ne wants to create cyber games.

Another aspires to become an Internet entrepreneur.

Others are interested in more traditional paths, such as medicine, or engineering, or business management.

There are some who do not yet know what line of work they’ll pursue and those who will likely end up in careers that have not yet been invented.

Their goals may vary, but these students have something in common: They are graduates of the Class of 2015.

And, completion of this phase of their lives is being celebrated in commencement ceremonies for high schools throughout The Laker/Lutz News coverage area.

The venues for the festivities vary.

Bishop McLaughlin High School has already had its graduation ceremony on its own campus.

Academy at the Lakes, Land O’ Lakes Christian and Carrollwood Day School are planning to do the same.

stitutions of higher learning closer to home.

While their dreams differ, members of the Class of 2015 share some common history.

They’ve witnessed the start of a new millennium, the election of the nation’s first African-American president and the evolution of technology that has created a lexicon all its own.

They’ve grown up in a world where the telephone has evolved from a stay-at-home device used for talking and listening, to a Smartphone they can carry around in their pocket or a purse.And, they can use devices to do all sorts of things, including text friends, take selfies and send tweets.

They’ve experienced huge changes in the way they learn, too.

The days of lectures from the front of the room are fading, as students go online to read assignments, write papers, do research and discover a world far beyond their classroom walls.

Graduation is a day to celebrate.

Whether a loved one has achieved the highest GPA, or barely squeaked by, graduation day still marks one of those big moments in life.

This is a season for brisk sales of balloons, floral bouquets and sheet cakes.

It’s a time for posing for photos with family and friends.

It is a time when parents, grandparents, other relatives and friends will likely gather — at the graduation or a later celebration, to honor the young man or woman who has completed one phase in their life.

It is an ending, and a beginning.

Did you know?

• Writing or reading text messages takes your eyes off the road for an average of 4.6 seconds. At 55 MPH, that’s like driving the length of a football field–blindfolded.

• If you text while you’re behind the wheel, you’re 20 times more likely to be involved in a crash than a non-distracted driver.

• Talking on a cell phone reduces the amount of brain activity devoted to driving by 37%.

YOUR LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS.

DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE.

MUSIC, from page 1A

AUTHORS, from page 1A

Challenge them physically.Teach them new things. I’m always looking for pieces that are going to push them, not only musically, but intellectually,” Hammond said.

At the same time, she said, “you have to temper that with pieces that are going to keep their interest.”

When people hear the ensemble perform, she said, they “are usually quite surprised by the wide range of music that we play,” she said.

Besides challenging the musicians, Hammond also enjoys passing along tidbits of her musical knowledge.

She may share a fact about Baroque music history, or tell the group about Beethoven’s habit of counting the coffee beans in his grinder, she said. Or, maybe she’ll reveal that Beethoven’s favorite food was macaroni and cheese, or that he routinely enjoyed fish and potatoes on Fridays.

The Wesley Chapel Wind Ensemble began in 2007, when Glenn Weatherly, a newcomer from Michigan, decided to try to form a brass quintet.

“It actually started as a church outreach program,” said Weatherly, who was then attending the former Crossroads United Methodist Church.

Over the years, the group has evolved.

In the beginning, it rehearsed in a backroom of the Hyundai dealership in Wesley Chapel and then at the church. It has been meeting regularly at Weightman, which is located on Wells Road in Wesley Chapel, since 2012.

The ensemble, which now has roughly 40 members, has grown mostly through word of mouth,Weatherly said.

It is made up of people from all walks of life — including a banker, a caterer, a doctor, a teacher, to name just a few.

For Weatherly, the practices are close to home. He lives in Wesley Chapel. Others make the trek from communities including Lutz, Land O’ Lakes, Dade City and Zephyrhills.

They are of assorted ages and skill levels.

“Our oldest member is 85, and we have several high school students. Both of my daughters play with us from time to time,” Weatherly said.

Molly Bacon, a bassoon player, thinks it’s

Appalachia in her book, “Under the Weeping Willow.” The book features three generations of women whose strength prevails despite poverty, floods and tragedy.

In another book, “To Hide the Truth,” the author tells a story about a disturbing relationship between a daughter and her father during an era when family abuse and alcoholism were taboo topics for discussion.

Author Jamie Elizabeth Tingen writes about making the most of second chances in her book, “Butterfly Messages.”

Author Madonna Wise shares her knowledge of local history in a book she wrote about Dade City for Arcadia Publishing’s iconic Images of America series.

Wise, a retired educator, has written a number of other books, including “Tapestry,” “Wildcat Creek Kids,”“Sam & Company,” and “Juanita in Blue.”

She’s also co-author of “Kachina Madonna Wise, who has written several books, used hundreds of photographs to help tell the and the Bully.”

Wise said Barnes & Noble does an story of Dade City. excellent job of giving local authors a place to sell books, sign books and chat with Other authors who will be featured at readers. the bookstore’s event include Federico and The writers enjoy meeting each other, Ruby Agnir, Jenice Armstead, Shelby Bender, too,Wise said.

nice that parents can make music with their kids.“My son plays tuba here,” said Bacon, who also plays in three other musical groups.

Most of the musicians played in high school, and some played in college.

Some, like Bacon, play in several groups.

Others, like Dr. Sandy Lamphier hadn’t played their instrument for ages, before they picked it up again.

The group rehearses every Thursday night — except for several weeks in the summer.

Typically, they practice for about two hours.

For some, the ensemble is their only chance to make music with a group.

“We have one home-schooled student.

She studies privately, but this gives her a group to play in,”Weatherly said.

The ensemble is made up of mainly brass, woodwind and percussion instruments.

But, Weatherly said,“We have one violin.”

The group previously had a cello player, too.

Dues are $25 a year to cover costs for sheet music and other expenses.

The show they are preparing for includes music from West Side Story, Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar and the Wizard of Oz. “We have a special guest coming in, Dana P. Rowe. He is a professional Broadway composer,”Weatherly said.

Rowe composed the original music for Zombie Prom, the Witches of Eastwick and Brother Russia,Weatherly added.

“Because we have Dana Rowe coming to town, we actually hired Jeremy Silverman to work with Dana, and he actually arranged an original piece just for our group.

“This is a medley of Dana’s music.This has never been played before,”Weatherly said.

While the musicians look forward to performances, they enjoy their rehearsals, too.

Lamphier, who plays French horn, said she played the instrument when she was in middle school and high school, but then not again for more than 30 years.

Since joining the ensemble,“I, personally, have improved my abilities about 5,000 percent,” she said, via email.

“But that’s not saying much,” she added,“because I started at a very rudimentary level.”

She enjoys improving her skills.

“We do a lot of sight reading and are constantly challenged with more difficult music,” she said.

She enjoys the challenge.

“I look forward to being there each week,” Lamphier said.

Circle K plans to tear down the Land O’ Lakes Plaza to build a new 5,000-square-foot convenience store with gas pumps and a car wash.

CIRCLE K, from page 1A Watson said. “It was purchased strictly to redo the property.The whole shopping center will be demolished.”

Circle K has filed a conceptual plan with Pasco County’s planning department for a 5,000-square-foot Circle K store with gasoline pumps and a car wash. Currently there is an older Circle K and Shell gas station at U.S. 41 and Hale, immediately north of the plaza.

County records show Circle K General Inc., bought that adjacent corner site in 1987.The property was sold in 2004 to RI CS2 LLC, but continued to operate as a Circle K store and gas station. Development

plans filed with the county do not show what will happen to the existing Circle K. Circle K representatives could not be reached for comment.

The trend in recent years is for brands, such as WaWa, Thorntons and Circle K, to build modern, more trendy gas and convenience stores,Watson said.

WaWa representatives had looked at the site, she said, but didn’t pursue a contract.

“This (Circle K) seems to be the best fit.”

The new development is a welcome addition,Watson said.

“Land O’ Lakes has kind of been behind Wesley Chapel, Lutz and Odessa. They are growing much faster than we are,” she said.

“It’s nice to see some good activity going on.”

Expert Dog Training

In April, Dawson & Associates aided the county in crafting a second application to obtain a permit for the project. An earlier application was rejected because the county didn’t provide sufficient data. The new submittal package provided an analysis of 17 potential alternatives for the road’s design and cost estimates.

The least damaging road, and also the most expensive road - at about $102 million – would be four lanes and partially elevated.

At issue are about 58 acres of the 6,000acre Serenova Preserve, set aside years ago to mitigate wetlands lost during construction of the parkway. The road extension must do the least damage to the environment in order to qualify for a permit.

The county’s budget, for several years, has included about $42 million for the first phase

of the project.

That is money the county isn’t using, said Commissioner Kathryn Starkey.

“We’ve got other pressing needs,” she said.

The next step in the permitting process is awaiting a response from the Corps of Engineers to know if additional information will be required.

Many of the principals at Dawson & Associates formerly worked for the Corps of Engineers or other federal agencies, said Pasco County Administrator Michele Baker.

They can interpret issues of concern and take the application to the next phase, she said.

While the federal agency is not under a deadline to make a final decision, Baker said, “We have asked that they expedite this.”

Saint Leo’s Reidy is top athletics director, again

By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

Fran Reidy doesn’t play baseball for Saint Leo University. He doesn’t shoot a basketball. He’s not on a swimming relay team.

And he’s not a threat running track.

Still, he’s a critical part of the university’s athletic success.

As athletics director, he’s responsible for all of those sports and more. There are 19 in all, and it’s his job to see them grow and prosper.

Clearly, he’s doing something right.

Reidy has been named the Under Armour Division II Athletics Director of the Year by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. He will be honored at an awards luncheon next month in Orlando.

This is the second time that Reidy has earned the designation. He also achieved it in 2012.

“I feel good about it,” Reidy said via phone from North Carolina, where he was cheering on the Lions at the NCAA Championship for men’s golf last week. “I think it’s a sign of the great things that Saint Leo has been accomplishing, and I get recognized for what our teams have been doing.”

Saint Leo is currently ninth in the Division II Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings, a competition that measures a school’s overall athletic success across all sports.

The Lions have never finished better than 18th in the competition, and have placed lower than that in many years. But they’re now in the top 10 after the winter season.

Part of that success stems from being involved in more sports. When Reidy first came on board as the men’s soccer coach 28 years ago, the Lions participated in just eight sports. By the time he became athletics director 16 years ago, they inched up to 10. Now they’ve nearly doubled that number, and can claim success in many of those programs.

Doing well on many fields is important to Reidy. He doesn’t want Saint Leo to be known for just one or two sports, with the rest treated as an afterthought.

earned three titles in the Sunshine State Conference, which is known to be a competitive collection of schools. That success continues a trend over the past decade, during which time the Lions have won a dozen conference regular season and tournament titles. They’ve also claimed the SSC Mayor’s Cup, which measures overall conference success, in both 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Saint Leo’s athletes are accomplished in the classroom, as well.

The university has approximately 375 athletes, and their grade point average reached an all-time high this past semester with a 3.22 mark. To achieve an academic record at the same time they’re achieving great things on the fields of play is a source of pride for Reidy.

Now that the school has reached new heights, the real challenge is staying at that level. It can be harder to maintain success than it is to achieve it, Reidy said.

To continue progressing, they have specific goals and constantly evaluate how they’re doing and what can be improved, he said.

For now, the near future includes keeping their existing sports operating at a high level. As far as adding sports, Reidy said women’s rowing and wrestling would top his list.

He understands that football would be a popular choice for many fans, but he needs to know more about the long-term effects of concussions, and the legal ramifications of those effects, before giving it serious consideration.

Carrollwood Day School had a celebration recently to mark the official groundbreaking on a project to build a gymnasium for the school, located at 1515 W. Bearss Ave., in Tampa.

Construction starts on gym at Carrollwood Day School The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

Carrollwood Day School officially broke ground on the school’s first gymnasium on May 15 during a ceremony at the school’s Bearss Avenue campus, according to a news release from the school.

The new 25,000-square-foot gymnasium is the first phase of a Center for Student Life.

The $3.2 million facility will include two full-size basketball courts, three volleyball courts and a weight room.

The indoor facility is in keeping with the school’s quest to balance intellectual achievement and physical activity.

The building also will be a focal point for all school pep rallies and other major events.

Carrollwood Day School was the first school on the west coast of Florida authorized by the prestigious International Baccalaureate Organization to offer the Primary Years Programme for students through grade five, the IB Middle Years Programme that is implemented in grades six through 10 and the IB Diploma Programme for students in grades 11 and 12.

The school is continuing efforts to raise $1.8 million for fields at the school.

Carrollwood Day School recently had a groundbreaking ceremony for the school’s new gymnasium. Shown here with shovels, from left to right, are Tim Hayes, Sharilyn Hayes, Ryan Kelly, Trish Brynjolfsson and Alan Brynjolfsson. Kelly is head of school at CDS.
