Lillian Brown Turns 100

The Sunshine Club at the Land O’ Lakes Senior Citizens Center, in Land O’ Lakes, gathered on June 25 to celebrate the 100th birthday of Lillian Brown, a member of the group. Charlene Vanover, who is president of the club, planned the party, according to a news re lease.

‘Lillian is an active member, participating in all the activities available, and she is always cheerful and happy,’ Vanover sai d, in the release.

‘We are amazed that she has turned her odometer back, due to walking,’ Vanover added. Lillian was born June 26, 1915 at St. Joh n’s New Brunswick, Canada. She is the youngest of five sisters and nine brothers. She attributes her good health to the fact that she is a walker, and she’s been walking for around 50 years. She currently walks about a half-mile each day. She has a son, Douglas Brown, of Land O’ Lakes, two grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Author’s feline teaches about friendships, faith

By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

Angie Albrecht-Smith brings her cat, Willie, to any speaking engagements or book signings where he’s allowed.

He’s not there just for moral support. It’s his event as much as hers.

Willie, a Maine Coon, is the main character in Albrecht-Smith’s line of children’s books. The Land O’ Lakes resident released the second book in the “Willie’s Critter Tales” series earlier this year by Tate Publishing. “Willie’s Friend Visits” is the follow-up to “Willie Meets A Possum,” which was published in 2010.

In the stories, Willie encounters a variety of animals: Possums, deer, doves, chipmunks and other cats. He’s always eager to meet someone new, even if they’re very different than he is, with their own ways of eating and living.

While Albrecht-Smith confirms that the stories come from true events with a little imagination thrown in, there’s a parallel between Willie’s welcoming attitude and her own life.

Her husband, Frank, is a construction manager with specialized skills, and the couple have traveled all over the world during their 43 years together.

Every few years Albrecht-Smith has made a new home, sometimes in a different state, and other times in a different country.

Whether it’s England, Trinidad or Saudi Arabia, Albrecht-Smith had the same open attitude toward different experiences as she gives Willie in her books.

“You have different mindsets and you have different cultures, but what God’s always shown me is you can find common ground,” she said of the people she’s met in her travels. “They want to provide for their family. They want to have a good life, and most people want to treat others well.”

Albrecht-Smith made an effort to live among the people in that particular country, rather than in a community with other Americans living there. She would go from house to house, introducing herself and her children, Abraham and Patience, to their

minister, and faith plays a big role in her life.

She’s also active with animal rescue organizations; her pets, including Willie, are rescues.

While the book aims to help people communicate, it also helped the author with communication when she went through a difficult time in her life.

The author’s son, Abraham, passed away (Albrecht-Smith prefers the phrase “called home”) around the time her first book came out. Doing publicity for the book became a cathartic experience, and the warm reception she received when she spoke was a help to her as both a writer and a mother.

“That is when I started breathing again. I love people. I love talking to them. I love listening to their stories,” Albrecht-Smith said.

“That helped me more than anything.”

Albrecht-Smith is still talking to people, whether it’s talking to children about her latest book, or writing workshops with young adults.

And she’s still writing.

She plans to speed up the releases of her books, with a goal of the next one being published in 2016.

She wants to complete six books in Willie’s series before moving to a separate group of stories with her other cat, Ernie.

Those stories should be more whimsical to MICHAEL MURILLO/STAFF PHOTO match Ernie’s personality, she said.

Angie Albrecht-Smith likes to write out her stories on paper before heading to the computer.

Future stories will cover different topics, Sometimes the series protagonist, Willie, likes to supervise. such as caring for a rescue pet, and what plans people make for their pets when they pass away (Patience now cares for new neighbors. ing fosters communication at a time when Abraham’s cat).

Garden Montessori Charter School finds a home

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Garden Montessori Charter School has signed a five-year lease on a new 22,000square-foot home in a former fitness facility in Wesley Chapel. “It’s a beautiful property,� John Selover, a consultant for the charter school said. “We’re really excited about it.�

In addition to the building at the Sports and Field Inc. location, at 2029 Arrowgrass Drive, there’s a large fenced play area, Selover said. “When we move in there this year, we’ll have temporary walls and partitions, with the idea that we’ll make that more permanent down the road,� he said.

The school is opening this fall with an enrollment of around 215 children, in kindergarten through second grade.

Selover said many people believe that Montessori education is a private-school only type of situation.

But Garden Montessori School is a charter school, meaning there’s no tuition for children attending the school.

The same is true for Countryside Montessori Charter School, which is located in Land O’ Lakes.

Garden Montessori School has its roots in a private preschool and kindergarten that has been offering the Montessori approach to education since 2009.

The Sports and Field location includes a building, a gym, a rock wall and an outdoor play area. It will become the new home for Garden Montessori Charter School.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF GARDEN MONTESSORI CHARTER SCHOOL

Garden Montessori Charter School has signed a five-year lease on the property now known as Sports and Field, at 2029 Arrowgrass Drive.

Parents of some of those children were interested in continuing to pursue that type of education in elementary school, and the school sought permission from Pasco County to open a charter elementary school.

There are still some seats available at Garden Montessori Charter School.

General information and enrollment details can be found at GMCSWC.weebly.com.

In addition to the building, the property has an outdoor play area.

The Sports and Field building, which has been leased to Garden Montessori Charter School, has a rock wall.

Chapel Crossings could bring new rooftops to Wesley Chapel

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Crown Community Development got the go-ahead from the Pasco County Commission to build Chapel Crossings, a mixed-use development that will be located north of State Road 54 and east of Curley Road.

More than 1,000 single-family homes and apartments are planned. There also would be about 175,000 square feet of retail and about 50,000 square feet of office space. “This is a great project,� said attorney Barbara Wilhite, who represented the developer at the public hearing to rezone the property. “We’ve worked really hard on it.

(Pasco County) staff worked really hard on it.�

But the approval didn’t come without a kerfuffle over the construction of roads that will bisect the approximately 300-acre site

in Wesley Chapel.

Crown Community Development plans to spend about $6.6 million to build extensions to Curley Road and a portion of the Zephyrhills Bypass Extension. The roads intersect in the center of Chapel Crossings.

The disagreement focused on the types of roads that are required, and whether Crown Community Development needed to build a second north/south road through the property at an additional cost of about $990,000.

It wouldn’t be a road that served Chapel Crossings, said Craig Weber, vice president of Crown Community Development, whose company also developed WaterGrass and Seven Oaks in Wesley Chapel.

Weber claimed that the county was holding him to a standard “that doesn’t exist. I don’t get it. Let’s just not make it up as we go along.�

It also isn’t certain, he said, that the road would ever be needed to connect with potential development to the north.

His project is southwest of the Villages of Pasadena, a planned community with potential for a range of 22,000 to 25,000 homes. “We don’t believe the code requires a second north/south road, one-third of a mile from Curley Road,� said Wilhite. “My client thinks he has met the standard.�

But Chairman Ted Schrader and Commissioner Kathryn Starkey raised concerns about a road design that didn’t go far enough to give people alternatives to driving on major thoroughfares that already are in gridlock.

Newer subdivisions that direct traffic onto State Road 54 compare unfavorably, Starkey said, to older neighborhoods in west Pasco County that do have neighborhood roads.

“You have got to have interconnectivity between neighborhoods or you’re going to have gridlock everywhere,� said Starkey, who had to leave the hearing prior to the vote. “One of the basic qualities of life is to be able to move around within a community and not have everyone on the same road.�

Other commissioners were more supportive. “It could end up being a road to nowhere,� said Commissioner Mike Moore.

He also suggested that the second road might not be environmentally doable because of wetlands.

That argument, in the end, persuaded Schrader to join with other commissioners in approving the project. “I think you have to have interconnectivity,� he said. “I think that is better planning.

But when I look at the map, I see some real challenges to making that happen.�

Developer plans new homes in Land O’ Lakes • Serving clients for over 30 years • Licensed, Bonded, Insured

• All Employees, No Contractors

• Discount for Regular Cleanings

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Developers plan to build a new subdivision on land formerly owned by Lester Dairy Farm, off U.S. 41 in Land O’ Lakes. The vacant land is the last significant undeveloped parcel along a corridor filled with new residential communities including Asbel Creek and Lakeshore Ranch.

To the north, Florida Citrus Investors owns more than 300 acres slated for townhouses. Across the highway the “new town” of Connerton is under development on about 8,000 acres of a former cattle ranch.

On June 24, Pasco County’s Development Review Committee gave unanimous approval to the residential community proposed by NVR Inc., the owner and developer of the dairy farm property.

The Pasco County Commission must still give its approval.

Plans are to build nearly 490 single-family homes on about 300 acres, located on the west side of U.S. 41 and about a mile south of State Road 52.

Developers will be responsible for building the first two lanes of the Bulloch Road extension, which would bisect the site and connect with the portion of Bulloch within Asbel Creek.

They also would build a portion of a proposed east/west “vision” road, with access

off U.S. 41. The roadwork within the subdivision is part of Pasco County’s long-range transportation efforts to increase neighborhood connectivity, and relieve traffic volume on heavily traveled highways such as U.S. 41.

Chris Williams, planning director for the District School Board of Pasco County, took the opportunity to push for more cooperation between planners with the county and school district on another “vision” plan for school construction.

He also serves on the county’s development review committee, and supported NVR’s project.

Connerton and other large developments often set aside acreage for future schools. But, Williams said smaller projects, such as Lakeshore Ranch, Asbel Creek, Tierra del Sol and the latest from NVR, rarely have the space.

“There already are 500 elementary school kids who live in these developments,” Williams said.

The school district has purchased land in the area for a future elementary school.

However, Williams said planners with the county and the school district need to work jointly on school needs, not only with large development projects, but smaller ones as well.

“There is an accumulative effect,” he said.

“We’re seeing this happen, and we need to set a school vision plan.”

No more ‘co’ champs for Wiregrass Ranch tennis

By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

Last season, the Wiregrass Ranch boys tennis team captured a state title in Class 3A. Technically, they had to share it with another school. And while that was an impressive accomplishment, it wasn’t good enough for their coach and his players. It meant another team was always part of the discussion.

“The first thing people ask is, who did you tie with? So instead of being able to talk about your team and what you did, you end up talking about the other team that was there as well,” explained David Wilson, the Wiregrass Ranch coach.

This year, no other team needs to be mentioned.

The Bulls are the sole owners of the state title after capping off a 21-0 season by taking out the competition at the state tournament in April.

And being a champion is a lot nicer than being a co-champion.

“It’s just a whole lot more fun to hold the trophy above your head and not have to hand it off to somebody else afterward so they can take their pictures,” Wilson said.

“Getting rid of the ‘co’ in front of your state championship is nice.”

The team wasn’t very nice when it came to their matches.

It frequently breezed past its opponents, although Wilson said the regional tournament provided especially tough competition, and individual players had some challenging matches during their playoff run.

Before it took the state championship, Wiregrass Ranch had already claimed a title.

The team won the DecoTurf High School Tennis Championships in Tennessee, back in April.

In that tournament it faced Hinsdale Central, a team that won the last two championships and hadn’t lost a match in four years. And, if spectators were hoping for a close contest, they didn’t get one.

“It was 7-2, so we actually beat them pretty good,”Wilson recalled.

The Bulls beat a lot of teams this year,

FREE SOCCER TRAINING

PHOTO COURTESY OF DAVID WILSON

Wiregrass Ranch’s tennis team isn’t sharing the state championship trophy with anyone this year. The Bulls are the Class 3A state champion, building on last year’s co-championship. From left, Sebastian Castillo, Daniel Moreno, Alejandro Feliciano, Foresight Okungbowa, Agie Moreno, Lorcan Kavanagh and Kris Cheung.

but their coach wasn’t surprised. After last year’s success, Wilson (who also coaches the successful soccer team and is the school’s athletic director) thought this year’s team would actually be better than the co-state champions.

It was a sentiment shared by his players.

“We had an idea that we were going to be really good,” said Alejandro Feliciano, who was a big part of the championship team and part of last year’s team, too.

“I think our team had more chemistry this year than we did last year,” said Feliciano, who also is nationally ranked as an individual tennis player.

Feliciano could tell the Bulls had something special this year, and is proud to have completed his high school tennis career

with an outright team tennis title. He’ll continue his time on the court with a scholarship to Newberry College in South Carolina.

With players like Feliciano and Foresight Okungbowa graduating, it might seem like a good opportunity for other teams to catch up and possibly dethrone Wiregrass Ranch.

Unfortunately for those schools,Wilson is already replenishing the team’s depth, and he’s using familiar names to do it.

Okungbowa’s brother will be a freshman at Wiregrass Ranch next year, and other former and current players have siblings who will enter the school in future years. And with top player Agie Moreno returning, Wilson feels like the team will have the tools to remain competitive.

“I think we should be good for a little while longer,”Wilson said.

For now, the team can enjoy the school’s first outright state championship.

Wilson said the players have benefited from a little celebrity at school, which is common for some athletes, but pretty rare for a tennis team.

Wiregrass Ranch has taken pride in the team’s accomplishment, and Wilson is glad to have been the one to provide it.

“Personally, it meant a lot to me to be the first coach to bring home a state title,” he said. “Leading the athletic program, it was really important for me to sort of set the standard for how hard we should be working and what we do as a program,” Wilson said.

Tournament raises $70,000 for United Way PCL Civil Constructors is a construction company that focuses on building bridges. Back in April, they also built a pretty big check for the United Way. The company has had a golf tournament for United Way Suncoast about every 18 months since 2010. The regular outing brings in people from the construction industry from around the country.

It also brings in a lot of money.

The most recent tournament on April 24 at Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club, brought in more than $70,000. Combined, their tournaments have raised more than $250,000 for the charity.

“A big part of our culture at PCL, and our corporate vision, is giving back to the communities that we work in, and lending our time, talent and treasure to those in need,” said Mark Eveld, a senior estimator with the company and tournament chair.

The record-setting total raised this year PHOTO COURTESY OF MARK EVELD was helped by a strong turnout (144 golfers) and more than 60 corporate spon- The check presented by PCL Civil Constructors was impressive, but the total actually grew to more than $70,000 when all was said and done. sors, Eveld said.

WILDLIFE SHOW THRILLS AUDIENCE The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

The free-flight behaviors of raptors and parrots, combined with some furry animals and amusing antics delighted those gathered recently for the Wonders of Nature wildlife show at the New Tampa Regional Library.

The show presented by Matt Edmonds of St. Petersburg, combined humor and audience participation to deliver lessons on conservation.

Audience members had to duck for an eagle owl named Nova, as it swept down over those gathered for a Wonders of Nature wildlifeshow at the New Tampa Regional Library. Nova was gliding back to Matt Edmonds, of St. Petersburg, who presented during the show.

Help your pets have a happy Fourth The Laker Lutz News Staff Report

Getting together with family and friends is a great way to spend the Fourth of July, and there’s nothing like fireworks to conclude an Independence Day celebration.

But for some pets, fireworks are frightening.

Pet noise phobia—an extreme fear of a sound—can cause pets to act aggressively, according to Veterinary Pet Insurance, a company that provides insurance for pets through policies purchased by pet owners.

And, pets can injure themselves while trying to escape or looking for a place to hide.

Pet owners can also create a safe haven where their pet can retreat to when he feels threatened. Some animals find refuge in small spaces, such as a closet or their crate.

Consider putting their favorite blanket and toys in these areas to create a sense of familiarity and security, the pet insurance company suggests on its website, PetInsurance.com.

Signs to be aware of: hiding, trembling or shaking, sudden urination or defecation, pacing, chewing, digging, barking or howling, and an abnormal clinging behavior around the pet’s owner, according to Veterinary Pet Insurance experts.

If your pet will be home alone on the Fourth of July, you can help keep your pets calm by reducing the noise level in your home by running a fan, playing the radio, or

closing the windows and the doors to help block out any bothersome noise, the company suggests.

Here are some additional tips from websites produced by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and The American Kennel Club, to help your pets through what can often be an unpleasant holiday for them.

• Do not use fireworks around your pets.

Exposure to lit fireworks can potentially result in severe burns and/or trauma to the face and paws of curious pets. And, even unused fireworks can pose a danger, because many contain potentially toxic substances, including potassium nitrate, arsenic and other heavy metals.

• Don’t take your pet to Independence Day festivities, whether it is a large public display or the neighborhood cookout. Keep your little guys safe from the noise in a quiet, sheltered and escape-proof area at home.

• If your pet is crate-trained, put him in his crate, covered with a blanket to make him feel secure.

• Block outside sights and sounds by lowering the blinds and turning on the television. Play soothing music in the background to counteract the loud noises of fireworks exploding.

• Be sure your dog is microchipped.That will help you find him if he gets scared and runs away.
