Efforts to begin to ease area congestion

By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Traffic is a mess at the Interstate 75 interchange with State Road 56.

On the plus side, that’s an indicator that new development in the area is boosting Pasco County’s economy.

More of that development is on the way.

But, it’s putting more people and more vehicles on inadequate roads.

A project set to start in 2018 is expected to help reduce the traffic snarls at the I75/State Road 56 interchange.

"There are huge amounts of traffic being generated," said Ryan Forrestel, principal at American Consulting Engineers.

A traffic analysis found that during daily

rush hours, vehicles are backed up for 1 mile to 2½ miles.

Most motorists are waiting at traffic signals to make left turns onto I-75, or off of it.

During a May 23 session, Forrestel provided a timeline for the construction of a $24.1 million diverging diamond interchange that is expected to relieve traffic.

He made his remarks to a gathering of about 30 people, at an event hosted by The Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce at the Mercedes-Benz automobile dealership, off State Road 56.

The meeting was focused on providing information to owners and operators of area businesses.

New chapter begins in The Edwinola’s storied history

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Most people who know anything about Dade City have heard a thing or two about The Edwinola.

After all, the building has been around for more than a century, and has had its glory days and dark chapters during its history.

The Edwinola opened originally in 1912 to replace the Dade City Hotel, which had burned in 1907.

The hotel was built by Edwin and Lola Gasque, who came up with the name Edwinola, by combining their first names, according to an account provided by Madonna Wise, a local historian.

For years, the structure — with its wraparound veranda, Doric columns and Mansard roof — was a popular destination for businessmen and travelers.

“The Edwinola is an icon in the community,” said Darcielle Gray, executive director of the senior living community, which has closed and reopened more than once through the years.

After ceasing operations as a hotel, it became a private residence, a university, a boarding house, a restaurant and an assisted living facility, according to various historic accounts. It closed most recently after two violent deaths and reported care violations, according to media reports.

“I think it was a loss for the community when it closed. Even though it had gone through some hard times, I think it was a big loss,” Gray said. “There was a lot of sadness about it closing.”

Now, the building has been refreshed, and residents have begun moving in, she said.“We have people who are slated to move in, almost daily, for the next several weeks.”

The eight-story senior living facility offers a variety of models, Gray said, noting “we’re pretty much able to accommodate anyone.”

The building has the capacity for about 160 residents, and the types of units will depend on demand.

“We’re going to have two floors of independent to start with.We are applying for our assisted living license. So, we’ll have assisted living.Then, a few months after that, we’ll be offering memory care,” Gray said.

A grand opening celebration has been set for May 23, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., at 14235 Edwinola Way. There will be refreshments, tours and a ribbon cutting.

The Edwinola’s reopening is creating a buzz in the community.

“Everybody is pretty excited about it,” said Gray. “When we talk to store owners in the Dade City area, different churches in the area, everybody seems to be quite happy because it gives a place for the seniors of Dade City to

A ribbon cutting for the reopening of The Edwinola in downtown Dade City drew a crowd. Among those participating were members of the Greater Dade City Chamber of Commerce, residents, friends, local officals and company executives. Darcielle Gray, executive director of the senior living community, cuts the ribbon, while surrounded by business associates, friends and partners of the facility.

be able to stay in Dade City.

“For them to be able to do that, that’s a pretty big thing,” she said.

“Dade Citians are Dade Citians,” she explained.“They like their town.They like their banking here and their restaurants here, and their friends are here.

“So, when they get to stay here – especially at The Edwinola — they’re right in the middle of town,” she said.

Area merchants have already provided discount coupons, and because The Edwinola is pet friendly, Gray expects the nearby pet shop to be a popular place with residents.

Seniors also will be able to take advantage of nearby restaurants and beauty shops, and be able to mix with people they’ve known for years.

That’s a benefit for the seniors, but also a benefit for the community, Gray said.

She expects most of The Edwinola’s residents will come from the Dade City and the surrounding communities, but she also suspects that some snowbirds may decide to settle in there, too.

There is no buy-in or long-term commitment, Gray said.

“There’s a basic community fee for entering. And then, you pay your check monthly,” she said.There’s a 30-day notice,

www.LakerLutzNews.com

in order to leave.

The services provided for independent residents will include a light housekeeping service and a continental breakfast and lunch.

Those wishing three hot meals a day can purchase a meal ticket.

The residence also will provide transportation, to take residents out shopping, to doctors, to events, to movies and so on, Gray said.That service is important to seniors because many of them find it frightening to drive in heavy traffic, she said.

The executive director said her goal, and the goal of her staff, will be to create an environment where residents set the course for the kinds of activities they do.

“We will meet monthly to determine what next month’s calendar looks like.

“We really want the residents determining their schedule, so they will drive a lot of the activities we do, based on what the group wants to do,” she said.

She’s already been talking to some of the new residents.

“Some of the ladies are like,‘Can we have happy hour?’” Gray said, to which she responded: “Yes. We can have happy hour as many times a week as you want.”

There will be standard activities, such as movies and popcorn, arts and crafts, and

bingo.There also will be weekly speakers.

“One of our goals is to make sure that the residents here know any providers that are available to them.

“If a resident here ends up going to the hospital for some reason, we don’t want them to meet the hospital social worker the first time they’re lying in bed,” Gray said.

“We’ll bring in wheelchair clinics. We’ll bring in walker clinics. We’ll bring in nutritionists and chefs,” she said.

The idea is for residents to venture out into the community and for people from the community to drop in, too, Gray said.

Along those lines, she has issued an invitation to the Dade City Police to “come in and partake in any meal that we have here,” she said. She plans to invite the fire department to do the same.

“Sometimes our world gets smaller, as we get senior.We want to make sure that it stays wide,” Gray said.

The executive director is upbeat about The Edwinola’s future.

She envisions it as becoming a vibrant new place for seniors to call home, and she finds that prospect to be exciting.

“It’s a brand-new start,” Gray said.

A monument sign was unveiled on May 12 at a dedication ceremony for the Adam Kennedy Forensics Field. The ‘body farm’ is part of a project to build a forensics research and training center next to Pasco County’s jail.

Land O’ Lakes site aims to improve forensic research

By Kathy Steele

Adam Kennedy’s body was the first donation for a ‘body farm’ named in Kennedy’s honor. Kennedy was principal of Crews Lake Middle School when he died in a car crash in January 2017.

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Pasco County had a dedication ceremony for a 5-acre field that will be used to advance forensic research and aid in criminal investigations.

The “body farm” is next to the Land O’ Lakes Detention Center, off U.S. 41. A separate forensics and training facility also is being planned near the body farm site.

The field has been named the Adam Kennedy Forensics Field, in honor of the former principal of Crews Lake Middle School, who died in a car accident while driving to work in January.

His body was the first one donated to the body farm.

“There is so much bittersweet about this,” said Abigail Kennedy, the principal’s wife, as she spoke during a May 12 ceremony.

Officials from the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, county commissioners, and Dr. Erin Kimmerle of the University of South Florida’s Institute of Forensic Anthropology & Applied Science (IFAAS) also were there, as the sign for the field was unveiled.

Adam Kennedy wanted to leave his body

to science,Abigail Kennedy said, noting that before her husband died, the couple had discussed possible options, including donating to a medical school.

She said her husband wanted to do something “dedicated to making people’s lives better.”

She contacted USF about the plans underway for the body farm and forensics facility to ask if her husband’s body could be the first donation.

“All I could think was this couldn’t be more perfect,” she said.“This is so cool.This is so Adam.”

The campus of the Florida Forensics

Institute for Research & Tactical Training, or F.I.R.S.T., is expected to become a national and international hub for research in the field of forensic science.

The body farm and forensics facility will be the seventh in the nation to study body decomposition as a tool in solving crimes, and identifying victims of murder or other trauma.

The University of Tennessee, in Knoxville, opened the first facility of this type during the 1970s.

The former principal’s body will be buried and later exhumed for research.

So far, about 30 people have preregistered with USF for body donations.

Project partners include the sheriff’s office, Pasco County, Pasco-Hernando State College and the IFAAS. Kimmerle and USF are well-known for their work in identifying bodies found in unmarked graves at the former Dozier School for Boys in Marianna.

The forensics building at F.I.R.S.T. will be the Thomas Varnadoe Forensic Center for Education and Research. Varnadoe’s body was among those recovered and identified at the grave site at the Dozier school.

Pasco’s campus will include a laboratory,

Virtual autopsies with 3-D scanning and chemical isotope analysis will be done.

Other activities will focus on legal medicine, forensic intelligence, aviation reconstruction and cyber forensics.

A tactical training facility for the sheriff’s K-9 unit and the Pasco Unified SWAT team also is planned.

About $200,000 in funding for this facility is being aided through a local campaign spearheaded by the Rotary Club of Wesley Chapel.

State funds of about $4.3 million for the forensics and research facility are included in the 2018 budget approved by Florida legislators. But, as of The Laker/Lutz News’ publication deadline, Gov. Rick Scott had not yet decided whether to sign the budget bill.

Scott has expressed displeasure with the budget and could opt to use his line item veto, veto the education portion of the budget or veto the entire budget.

The project will go forward whatever the decision, according to sheriff’s office officials. If the appropriation isn’t approved this year, another request will be made in the 2019 state budget or other sources of money will be sought, they said.

Parents or guardians need to initial the game card when enough books are read to get on first base, and the library will sign the card, put a sticker on it, and hand out a reading reward. Kids can round the bases by reading a total of 24 hours this summer and get two tickets to a Rays game. For local libraries, visit PascoLibraries.org or THPL.org.

Increased school impact fees a step closer in Pasco County

By B.C. Manion

Proposed fees:

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

• Single-family detached residences: $7,540, for homes 1,500 square feet or less; $9,785 for homes between 1,501 square feet and 2,499 square feet; and, $12,028 for homes of 2,500 square feet or more • Single-family attached: $3,633 per dwelling • Mobile homes: $5,544 per dwelling • Multifamily: $5,295 per dwelling

Pasco County’s Development Review Committee has recommended approval of a proposed ordinance that would hike school impact fees in Pasco County.

The review committee, acting as the county’s local planning agency, found the proposed increase to be consistent with the county’s comprehensive plan.

The new rates would significantly increase the impact fees charged to new residential development to help address the impact that new growth has on schools.

Under the proposed ordinance, the fees could be used to build new schools, acquire school sites or purchase new school buses.

The fees do not apply to age-restricted communities, where residents are 55 and older.

Even if the county adopts the proposed rates, school district officials estimate a $284 million shortfall in revenue needed for capital construction during the next decade.

At the review committee meeting on May 25, Mark C. Ogier, representing the Bay Area Apartment Association, challenged the proposed multifamily rate.

“These proposed impact fees are very troubling to our association and our industry,” Ogier said.

“No. 1, the proposed increases are huge increases for all categories, but they’re especially grossly disproportionate for multifamily,” Ogier said.

The proposed multifamily increase is a 184 percent increase from the current rate.

At the same time, he said, the amount of student generation from multifamily is “significantly less than single-family,” he said.

Ogier — whose association represents more than 142,000 apartment units in the Tampa Bay area — also questioned the generation rates used by the school district’s consultant,Tischler-Bise, in the impact fee study.

He cited statistics showing that 80 children per 100 households live in single-family, compared with 38 per 100 households in multifamily, Ogier said.

When just children between the ages of 6 and 17 are considered, 35 percent of single-family owners have kids in that age range, while multifamily has just 13 percent, Ogier added.

Ray Gadd, deputy superintendent for Pasco County Schools, said the student generation rates were based on where students actually live.

“Every student is geo-coded to a particular residence,” Gadd said.

Current fees:

• Single-family detached: $4,828 per dwelling (no distinction based on size) • Single-family attached: $1,740 per dwelling • Mobile home: $2,843 per dwelling • Multifamily: $1,855 per dwelling

“I’m not sure how you beat that,” said Pasco County Administrator Dan Biles.“They live where they live.”

While the Pasco County Commission doesn’t have to adopt the full rate that’s recommended, it cannot simply reduce the multifamily fee, said David Goldstein, chief assistant county attorney.

“There’s no legal way to just reduce multifamily,” Goldstein said, noting to do that would cause single-family to pay a disproportionate amount of the fee.

Review committee member John Walsh asked what would happen if the Tampa Bay Apartment Association wanted to debate if the study was valid or not.

Goldstein responded: “They’d have to come up with their own data showing that what Tischler-Bise (the school district’s consultant) came up with, is inaccurate.”

Gadd said he would provide his underlying data to Ogier, so he could see the information that the district used.

Regardless of what happens with the proposed impact fees, the school district remains in a deep hole regarding funding for new schools.

District officials estimate that even with the full impact fee increase, the district would have a $284 million shortfall for capital construction needed during the next decade.

Pasco commissioners have scheduled two public hearings on the ordinance to amend the school impact fees.

The first public hearing on the school impact fees issue is set for June 20 at 1:30 p.m., in the commission’s board room at the West Pasco Government Center.The second is set for July 11 at 1:30 p.m., on the second floor of the Historic County Courthouse, at 37918 Meridian Ave., in Dade City.

Showing jurors some appreciation Pasco County Clerk & Comptroller Paula O’ Neil’s office celebrated the mandated duty of jurors during Juror Appreciation Month. Each Monday in May (and the Tuesday after Memorial Day) new jury pools and prospects were greeted by Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam at the courthouses in Dade City and New Port Richey. Besides cookies, extra offerings were toppings for popcorn, and syrups for coffee and tea. To help jurors occupy idle time, there also were adult coloring pages and colored pencils, as well as jury-themed crossword puzzles and mazes. The Clerk’s office anticipated hosting nearly 1,000 prospective jurors, total, in May. Samantha Nash, as Lady Liberty, served up some cookies COURTESY OF OFFICE OF PAULA S.

Youth art program garners award The Office of Pasco County Clerk & Comptroller has received an Achievement Award from the National Association of Counties (NACo). The awards honor innovative, effective county government program that enhance services for residents. NACo recognized the All American Youth Art Walk in the Children and Youth category. The program, in its second year, turned the public halls of Pasco’s east and west side courthouses into galleries celebrating the talents of the county’s public school student-artists.

friends and family.

Now, the Guv’na hopeful has her eye on winning the race.

Although, she said, by the same token she’s simply enjoying the “campaign” trail.

“I am just so happy to be able to be a part of this — seriously,” said Sherman.“It’s so far been a blast, and I’m looking forward to every single event.”

Sherman decided to join the race to help the nonprofit organizations and beneficiaries that receive proceeds from the race support.

Those organizations include Girl Scout Troop 2714, where Sherman was a parent leader for a few years.

“The scout program is super near and dear to my heart,” Sherman said.“Those girls are amazing. They are just the best kids, ever.”

Currently the manager at Pinch A Penny in Lutz, Sherman has worked in the pool industry for about 15 years.

She’s also a longtime Lutz resident.

Her campaign slogan — “Keep Lutz Local”— reflects her passion for the tightknit Hillsborough County community.

It’s also a message to support familyowned and operated businesses in the area.

“Lutz is special,” she said,“because of the entrepreneurs that we have in our community.”

The distinct “small-town” vibe isn’t lost on her, either.

“How many communities still have their original schoolhouse?” said Sherman, referring to the Historic Old Lutz School built in 1927.

Despite a notable debate showing, Sherman acknowledged her nervousness heading into the satirical-based event.“I was having a small panic attack,” she said.

But, Sherman ably stepped out of her comfort zone, thanks to witty one-liners and dance moves — comically resembling those popularized by “Seinfeld”TV series character Elaine Benes, portrayed by Julia LouisDreyfuss.

“She was my inspiration; my dance skills have been compared to hers quite a few times,” Sherman said, jokingly.

The chance to sway “voters” doesn’t end there.

Sherman has various “campaign” fundraising events in the works, including a spaghetti dinner on June 4 and a tea lunch

Those wishing to support Jessica Sherman’s bid to become the next Lutz Guv’na can attend these upcoming fundraisers: Spaghetti Dinner: June 4 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., at 504 Crystal Grove Blvd., in Lutz.

Tickets are $5. Dinner includes a drink and garlic bread.

Tea Lunch: June 11, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., at the Tea Room at Deb’s Whistle Stop Depot, 100 Fourth St. W., in Lutz. Cost is $35.

Lunch includes sandwiches and tea.

on June 11.

She also plans to announce a “super secret” surprise event that coincides with the grand opening of a new Lutz business.

Additionally, Sherman is offering opportunities to win prizes in exchange for “campaign” donations, including Tampa Bay Buccaneers ticket packages, a Zodiac MX6 pool cleaner and Jazzercise membership discounts.

Besides raising money for “such great causes,” Sherman is eager to promote Lutz and meet new people, over the next few months.

“It’s just great a feeling to be able to embrace your community the way that this allows you to,” she said.

The Guv’na race continues through the Fourth of July weekend.

The winner will be announced after the community’s traditional parade.

To receive the coveted “sash,” Sherman must outpace two other candidates — Kori Rankin, of Kori Rankin Photography, and incumbent Greg Gilbert, of Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Lutz.

The annual charity event started in 1991.

More than $100,000 has been raised in the past decade alone.

The winner of the Guv’na race gets to earmark 10 percent of what he or she raises to the charitable organization of his or her choice.

Regardless of the outcome, Sherman’s 2017 bid for Lutz Guv’na probably won’t be her last.

“If the community would like me to run again, I would be all for it,” Sherman said.“I think it would be fun to do again, absolutely.”

If you’d like to contribute to Sherman’s campaign, call (813) 362-1085 or email jcote6884@gmail.com.

CONGESTION, from page 1A "We want to make sure they are well-prepared for what is coming," said Hope Allen, the chamber's president.

The chamber's website also will provide up-to-date information on the project as it becomes available.

The project, which at one time had a 2020 start date, now has a construction start date of fall 2018.

Design and planning are expected to be finished by January 2018, and construction bids are scheduled to go out in June 2018.

The project’s construction is expected to take 18 months to 36 months.

Pasco County's diverging diamond will be Florida’s second.

Two weeks ago, Sarasota became the first to open a diverging diamond on I-75, at University Parkway.

Licia Tavalaiccio plans a visit to see her daughter who lives in Sarasota. While she’s there, she wants a first-hand experience of test driving a diverging diamond interchange.

"I'm excited to go down there and see how it actually flows," she said.

Being informed about the interchange is also a necessity for the Realtor who works with clients looking to invest in Pasco County property and new businesses.

"When they are coming into our area, traffic is going to affect their decisions to purchase in the area," Tavalaiccio said.

The diverging diamond interchange accommodates multiple lanes of traffic that crisscross from one side to another, with limited traffic signals. Road signs and marked off lanes help direct motorists through the interchange.

Forrestel said no additional right of way

WIREGRASS, from page 1A ordinance to increase the tourism tax.

Projections for sports events and revenues include: • 27,000 visitors per night per year • 12,000 visitors who come for the day • $6.5 million annual economic impact • $8 million or more in sales and use taxes in 10 years (not including tourism tax) Over 10 years, RADD Sports officials project $100 million in accumulated direct economic impact for the county.

The facility will be able to host sporting and recreational activities, including basketball, volleyball, cheerleading, dancing, wrestling, gymnastics, curling and badminton.

Plans also call for seven outdoor sports fields, an amphitheater with an event lawn, trails, pavilions and a playground.

will be needed for construction.

The bridge that crosses I-75 won't be widened, he said, but it will be redesigned to handle traffic coming to and from the I75 ramps.

Additional lanes will be added to the ramps along with road signs and lane markers. Speed limits will drop to 35 mph on the approach to the interchange.

With fewer traffic signals, Forrestel said, "All turns are free flowing, to the right or to the left."

In fact, he added, the diverging diamond works best where signalized left-turns dominate. "In other places, they are terrible solutions."

Supporters of the design say it eases congestion, prevents wrong-way entry onto ramps and reduces crashes.

No daytime lane closures are planned.

However, lanes will be shifted to accommodate construction, said Forrestel.

There will be some lane closures at night, he added.

The first phase of construction likely will be the installation of retaining walls surrounding the interchange.They will vary in height from 5 feet to 30 feet.

The completion of construction can’t come soon enough for area business owners.

Britt Young, franchise owner of Chick-filA, which fronts State Road 56 by Tampa Premium Outlets, said even employees who live nearby report 20-minute commutes simply to get across I-75.

He hopes the diverging diamond is the right solution.

"We need the flow of traffic to move," Young said. "It allows for growth on both sides of the interstate. Economically, it's what we all want."

An $18.5 million, 120-room hotel is planned on land donated years ago by the Porter family – developers of Wiregrass Ranch and The Shops at Wiregrass.

Sports tourism is proving to be a successful generator of revenues for local communities, Homer said.

On average, each visitor spends about $208 a day, he said.

There is a multiplier effect, however, when families come together to youth sports events.“They make a whole weekend out of it,” Homer said.

RADD Sports plans to follow the Disney model for sports event registrations. The hotel room is part of the registration process, he said.

And, when the on-site hotel is full, other area hotels are included, Homer added.

RADD Sports wants to create a “constant churn” of events. “We want them to come back, six, seven, eight times a year,” he said.

Dorothy’s perspective on Kansas changed.

The Tin Woodsman got a heart.

The Cowardly Lion, courage.

The Scarecrow, a brain.

And, two wicked witches met their ends.

The characters in the theater troupe changed, too, as there were two major casts, which switched out for performances. Seven of the cast members had a chance to play major roles and minor roles in two performances each, through a bit of creative casting.

“Double-casting allows more kids to have bigger roles,” explained Jill Ricardo, vice president of production for Arts in Motion, via email.

“The Wizard of Oz” production involved 38 actors, ranging in age from 5 to 17, Ricardo said. The performances were given on the evening of May 19, the afternoon and evening of May 20, and the afternoon of May 21.

Most of the actors come from East Pasco, but some come from as far away as Riverview, Ricardo said.The performers began rehearsing in mid-February and held rehearsals for eight hours a week, Ricardo added.

Arts in Motion is a nonprofit community youth theater and arts education organization. It aims to give children in kindergarten through 12th grade a chance to participate in the visual and performing arts, according to the organization’s website.

The goals are to help youths to build confidence, to help them learn how to collaborate and to stimulate their creativity, the website adds.

Since its formation in 1995, Arts in Motion has produced such musicals as “Back to the 80s,” “The Little Mermaid,” “A Christmas Carol,” Seussical the Musical,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Grease” and “The Sound of Music.”

Besides two large-scale productions each year,Arts in Motion also hosts workshops in audition technique, voice, acting, improv and dance, and holds week-long summer camps.

For more information, visit ArtsInMotionPasco.org.

This is a photo of the ‘Ruby’ cast. Two casts performed the play, allowing seven of the actors to have both a major role and a minor part in two performances each.

PET of the WEEK

Bailey is a rescue Bailey is an 8-month-old black cur (in general, a short-coated, drop-eared, farm and ranch working dog) mix and is the youngest of seven dogs. She was rescued by Christine Jordan’s son, Mark, and his girlfriend, Samantha. Bailey was in bad shape, but she is now a happy playful puppy. The Jordan family lives in Land O’ Lakes.

Beginning next week, PET OF THE WEEK will be sponsored by: 9513 Nebraska Avenue • Tampa, FL 33612 813.932.9775 or 813.932.4333 (4 blocks north of Busch Boulevard) www.shellsfeed.com

Looking for some kittens?

While the shelter has many adoptable adult cats, its focus right now is on the tiny kittens coming through. Animal Services is in the midst of what is referred to as kitten season, and it can last for months. Those interested can adopt, foster-to-adopt or foster. Many kittens are coming in only a couple days to a few weeks old and need around-the-clock care.

PET OF THE WEEK FAMILIES WILL RECEIVE A $25 SHELL’S FEED & GARDEN GIFT CERTIFICATE .

Send us a picture and information on your favorite pet!

Write a short paragraph about why your pet is special along with a photo and mail to: Pet of the Week, c/o The Laker, P.O. Box 479, Lutz, FL 33548 or email to mrathman@lakerlutznews.com, ATTN: Pet of the Week PLEASE NOTE: OWNERS NAME AND ADDRESS MUST BE INCLUDED FOR YOUR PET TO BE CONSIDERED FOR PUBLICATION.

LOCAL WILDLIFE Nora needs a chance Nora originally came to the shelter in August 2016. She is a bit fearful, and needs a kind and patient person to take some time for bonding. But, after a couple outings, she can become your new friend. Nora thrives with positive reinforcement and loves to play (in the pool). Nora is heartworm positive, but it is treatable. Most recent testing shows she has a low count of heartworms.

If you would like to adopt Nora or adopt/foster a kitten, be sure to visit Pasco County Animal Services at 19640 Dogpatch Lane in Land O’ Lakes. The adoption center is open Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 6:30 p.m. All adoption fees include spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines. For more information, email adoptionpartners@pascocountyfl.net.

PET PAWS CLEAN FEEDERS TO PROTECT BIRDS

Wading for fish, frogs and insects This pond, at the apex of Barcelona and Fletch Roads, behind Silver Lakes in Land O’ Lakes, is a popular spot for birds. Betsy Crisp caught this wood stork either hunting for a meal or just getting a refreshing sip of water.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission suggests that artificial feeding stations, such as bird feeders, be cleaned to decrease the potential for spreading diseases.The commission has received reports of sick and dead cardinals in north Florida.

Sick cardinals appear to move slowly, often hiding in ground vegetation with limited ability to fly.

If you have bird feeders, take the time to follow these guidelines to minimize the risk of disease transmission.

• Use a diluted bleach solution to clean your bird feeders every two weeks to three weeks. Be sure to wear gloves when scrubbing the feeder. Clean birdbaths in a similar fashion.

• Minimize crowding at feeders by providing enough feeders spaced far enough apart so birds don’t have to fight for space.

• Rake clean any debris (feed and bird feces) that accumulates around the feeder area.

• Do not clean bird feeders and birdbaths near human living and eating areas.

Bird feeders should be removed for a period of at least two weeks, if dead cardinals or dead songbirds are found in the yard. Report observations to MyFWC.com/Bird.

REHABILITATED MANATEE RELEASED

Staff at Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park joined the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to release Roosevelt, a rehabilitated manatee, back into the wild.

The young male manatee was rescued by FWC on Feb. 20. He was found at Three Sisters Spring in Crystal River underweight and suffering from cold stress injuries.

Park staff named the manatee Roosevelt in honor of his rescue on President’s Day. President Theodore Roosevelt created the Civilian Conservation Corps, which was instrumental in the creation of the Florida Park Service.
