Community stage is ready for action

By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

After years of persistence, Land O’ Lakes finally has a place where residents can gather to hear concerts, watch plays or gather for other community events.

Construction of the Land O’ Lakes Community Stage is completed and the venue is now ready for groups to use it, said Sandy B.C.

The turkey legs served as a reminder of the turkey legs that volunteers with the Heritage Park Foundation sold for years at the Flapjack Festival to raise money for the stage.

Joanne Hurley, retired Pasco County School Board member, recalled those efforts.“We were raising money, a dollar at a time through the sale of those turkey legs.

“We had car shows, anything we could do to raise a little bit of money,” she said.

In the end, it took a $250,000 state grant, and a partnership between governments, businesses and community volunteers to bring the vision to life.

The open-air stage is on a grassy area, west of a fenced-in ballfield at Land O’ Lakes Community Park, 5401 Land O’ Lakes Blvd.

It is the latest improvement at the park, which underwent a $2.3 million makeover that included additional amenities and upgraded facilities.

Lutz celebrates July Fourth in grand fashion

it Oughta Be!

People who like to run, enjoy mingling with friends or are attracted to an old-fashioned, small-town parade found all that and more at the Independence Day celebration on the Fourth of July in Lutz.

The community, just north of Tampa, is known for its traditional Independence Day celebrations, and once again, it delivered.

Carmen Rairigh, of Lutz, was there with a

group of about 40 people, including family members and friends.

They settled in at the corner of First Avenue N.W. and Second Street N.W. It’s a prime spot because it’s at a turn in the parade route, and is a great place to catch candy, beads, cups and other parade swag.

“A lot of us go to First Baptist (Church of) Lutz,” Rairigh said, adding they thought it’d be fun to watch the parade together.

There were kids in the group who at-

tend Lutz Preparatory School, Steinbrenner and Freedom high schools, Terrace Community Middle School and Learning Gate Community School. Some of the kids are home-schooled, too.

“We’re here to celebrate America’s birthday,” Rairigh said, adding it’s especially fun to go to the Lutz parade.

Pasco administrator to retire in

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Pasco County Administrator Michele Baker expects to be very busy over the next year and a half.

She’ll be crossing off a to-do list, one by one, before leaving in 2017 to go on a lengthy road trip with her husband.

The couple will hit the road with their recreational vehicle and their motorcycles, on a tour of as many baseball parks and national parks as they can squeeze into a year.

“That’s been our dream,” Baker said, so letting her contract lapse in July 2017 makes sense.

But, don’t expect a lame duck administrator.

“There’s no kicking back here,” Baker said.“This isn’t me slowing down. ” Baker has told Pasco County commissioners she won’t seek renewal of her current two-year contract, which makes her

last day July 9, 2017.

By then, Baker will have worked 35 years in public service, 24 of those years with Pasco County.

Her to-do list, in short form, includes: • Completing masMichele Baker ter plans and updates for storm water, solid waste and tourism • Funding and building a diverging diamond road design to ease traffic congestion at State Road 56 and Interstate 75 • Completing the State Road 56 extension • Nurturing SunWest Park, the county’s fledgling aqua park • Replacing and repairing aging infrastructure and roads damaged by the summer flooding • Making progress on the expansion of

the jail and construction of new fire stations • Relocating more government offices to central Pasco

Baker also plans to fill vacancies for a few key leadership positions that remain, cluding an assistant county administrator infor public safety and administration.

Progress has been made, Baker said, but government services still could be more customer-friendly.

A culture that was decades in the making is being changed, she said.“You don’t get to turn a canoe.You’re turning a ship. ” Public service wasn’t Baker’s first career choice.

Over the years she worked as a waitress, flight attendant and a theater manager. also served in the U.S.Air Force Reserve. She Her undergraduate degree was in business administration.

Until recently the south side of State Road 56, by the Interstate 75 interchange, created the most commercial buzz.

Tampa Premium Outlets and a slew of restaurants turned grassland into a shopping and dining mecca.

More is on the way.

Starbucks is the latest opening on the south side of the highway. It’s next to Culver’s.

But, now it’s the north side of the state road that’s starting to see a surge of new restaurants and shops as the next phase of Cypress Creek Town Center kicks into gear.

Sierra Center Boulevard, off the entryway at Grand Cypress Drive, is the center of the activity.

The town center straddles both sides of State Road 56, at its juncture with Wesley Chapel Boulevard and Interstate 75. The southern side largely is being developed by Simon Properties and Richard E. Jacobs, with Sierra Properties in control on the northern side. Its properties are listed under the ownership of Pasco Ranch, Inc. Ford’s Garage and Pollo Tropical, which opened in recent months, were first up for Sierra.

Now, Wendy’s and Taco Bell are nearly ready for fast-food delivery.

Heading east along Sierra Center, work crews are rolling out a parking lot and laying landscaping for a multi-store retail center.

According to county permitting records, Men’s Wearhouse, Mellow Mushroom, Mattress One,T-Mobile, and Great Clips are

future tenants.

Hutton, with headquarters in Chattanooga, is developing the retail center.

Hutton representatives could not be reached for additional details.

A stand-alone Chuy’s Mexican Restaurant is slated for a spot just east of the shopping strip, according to county records.

In January, a pre-application meeting was held with county planners to discuss a location on Sierra Center for Bahama Breeze Island Grill.

Another restaurant headed to Cypress Creek is Newk’s Eatery. According to QSR Magazine, the company, based in Jackson, Mississippi, plans to open as many as 30 new restaurants in Florida in five years.

Activists bring new life to Moore-Mickens

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

The Pasco County School District handed over the keys to the new tenants of the Moore-Mickens Education Center effective July 1.

The lease is for 30 years at $10 a year.

So, now the school’s future is in the hands of a coalition of community activists who founded the nonprofit Moore-Mickens Education Center and Vocational Center Inc. Its legacy already is in place.

Moore-Mickens is rooted in Pasco’s history as the first public school for blacks. It began as Moore Academy and later operated under the Moore and Mickens’ names as elementary, middle and high schools, and finally, as the education center.

The school’s name honors the accomplishments of two Pasco educators, Rev. Junias D. Moore and Odell Kingston Mickens.

Though the nonprofit plans to be patient and move ahead one program at a time, there are ambitious plans in store for Moore-Mickens, which sprawls across a campus of 14 buildings at the end of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Dade City.

Empowering children is a priority.

The first goal is to open a volunteer prekindergarten school that will give children a foundation for educational success.

“I want to see kids open doors for themselves,” said Marilyn Hunter, president of the nonprofit.

Margarita Romo echoes those thoughts.

“It can be the lighthouse for people who need to believe in themselves, said Romo, founder of Farmworkers Self-Help.

There are challenges ahead.

The first step is to organize a volunteer cleanup to get buildings ready to open.

Plans are to use the administrative building, the building that housed the Cyesis teen parent program, and a building where the Dade City City Commission once held meetings.

In April, vandals broke about 100 windows and several doors in several buildings.

The school district boarded up the windows and doors.

Volunteers and board members of the nonprofit Moore-Mickens Education Center and Vocational Center Inc., are working to reopen the historical school in Dade City. From left, Rev. Jesse McClendon Sr., Saundra Coward, Londa Edwards, Levater Holt, Marilyn Hunter and Margarita Romo.

Repair costs are left for the nonprofit.

Romo can tick off a laundry list of items the school needs.

A church donated about 100 chairs, but more are needed, she said.Tables, commercial kitchen equipment, books and lawn mowers for the sprawling campus make up a short list.

“It’s a hard task just getting started,” Romo said.“We’ll open a little bit at a time, so we don’t go in debt.”

A local Episcopal church is making a donation to aid the school.

Hunter said the nonprofit plans to apply for a state historical grant, but additional cash donations and in-kind support are needed.

Termites are an issue in at least one building.

“It’s been sitting for three years without any care at all,” she said.

Prior to its closing in 2015, MooreMickens offered classes for adults, teen parents and special-needs children.

Hunter taught in Pasco schools, includ-

ing adult education classes at MooreMickens.And, she is a high school graduate of the class of 1970, the last one before desegregation.

“I’m proud of that,” she said.

School officials threatened to close Moore-Mickens in 2014, but backed off when area residents rallied to keep it open.

They cited costly repairs as the reason for finally closing the campus a year later.

Community activists immediately began lobbying to save the school. Many had ties as former students or teachers at the school.

Rev. Jesse McClendon Sr., took the lead early on. A core group of 15 or so came together, eventually founding the nonprofit.

Few would have given them much chance for success.

But, Moore-Mickens stirs passions among people who revere the school as a community treasure.

“My heart has always been here at this school and this community,” said Saundra Coward, the nonprofit’s vice president and a former student.“I have a hurt for east Pasco

because there’s so much taken away from us.This center here is the heart of many of us.The closing of it was a hurting thing.”

The passion caught even McClendon by surprise.

He had expected the outcry from the black community, but everyone who had ties with Moore-Mickens wanted to save it, he said.

McClendon went to Moore Elementary, and later worked as plant manager at Moore-Mickens. His mother, Joanna McClendon, was a teacher.

Levater Holt is an officer with the nonprofit as well as former student and teacher at the school.“This school for me is where I came up,” she said. “We’re reaching out to the whole community.”

In addition to VPK classes, the nonprofit wants to offer General Equivalency Diploma instruction and vocational skills classes.

Other social agencies also could become partners, including food banks, and other children’s programs.There could be a charter school, afterschool programs, and a community garden.

Hunter would like to see sports activities, possibly basketball and badminton, and maybe a splash pad.

Romo sees the Moore-Mickens campus as a hub for social agencies in the area. A “one-stop” community center already is planned for the former Stallings Building on 14th Street in Dade City.

In the future, there could be links between that site and Moore-Mickens, which Romo said has space to accommodate several programs.

Londa Edwards, Romo’s granddaughter, has a mentoring program in the Tommytown neighborhood. She would like to also bring it to Moore-Mickens.

Coward, and her sister, Dometa Mitchell, are founders of Hebron Refuge Outreach, which offers youth programs that could fit in at Moore-Mickens as well.

This is a grassroots effort, Romo said.

“It’s kind of exciting, because here is a community that gathered together to try to say ‘yes we can’.”And, now she added,“We’re going to make this happen.”

PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Celebrating babies and family

By Diane Kortus Publisher

M

y employees and I have worked together for a long time — some for as many as 15 years.

In the beginning, we shared stories about the challenges of raising children.We went on to celebrate their graduations and weddings, and have begun to rejoice, as some of us have become grandparents.

Most of us were in our 30s and 40s when we started working together and already had children, from second-graders to high school teenagers.

But, we never had a co-worker who became a parent while working for the newspaper.

Until now.

I’m proud to report that Matt Mistretta, our art director of 10 years, and his wife, Ashley, welcomed their new daughter on March 4. Luna Elselene has the distinction of being the first Laker/Lutz News baby.

Now four months old, Luna is cuter than ever. And, according to her parents, she is a perfect baby who is always happy and a delight to be around.

Please join me in welcoming Luna to our work community, and sending congratulations to her parents, Matt and Ashley.

Since we’re on the topic of babies, I’d like to share with you that I now have a second grandchild. Zachary Joseph was born June 28 in Louisville, Kentucky, to my son Andy Mathes and his wife, Erin.

Zachary joins his big brother Connor, who is now nearly 2 years old. Connor loves his dog Patch, dreams about bulldozers and garbage trucks, and says “grandma” with great clarity. He’s also learning to love his weeks-old brother, and not to squeeze him in a headlock, as he does Patch.

So, I guess you could say that babies are

Ashley and Matt Mistretta are the proud parents of Luna Elselene.

Matt is the art director of The Laker/Lutz News.

my biggest sphere of influence these days.

And that is a good thing, because babies keep you centered and remind you that the purpose of life is not our professional accomplishments, but what we do for those we love.

For most of us, those we love the greatest are members of our family — people we’re linked to through heredity and marriage, and those we include as family because of our close, trusting relationships.

The love Matt and Ashley have for Luna, and the love I have for my children and grandchildren, far surpass everything else we care about.

Connor Mathes holds his newborn brother, Zachary Joseph. The boys are the grandsons of Diane Kortus, publisher of The Laker/Lutz News.

That doesn’t diminish the pride I have as owner of The Laker/Lutz News, and the positive impact this newspaper has on our readers and advertisers. Or the satisfaction I get from running a business that helps support 12 employees and their families.

I never worry that The Laker/Lutz News will not publish on time every week with relevant stories for our readers. I know our printer will get our paper back to us every Tuesday morning, so our carriers can deliver the paper to your home or pick-up location by end-of-day Wednesday.

Luna’s father, Matt, is instrumental in this process. Every week he is presented with

stories and photos that he puts together in an inviting design, working around our advertisements.

Matt and I are both good at our jobs because we care about the papers, our colleagues and our readers. We work, as do all of our employees, to give you a community newspaper that you welcome into your home every week.

But, at the end of the day, Luna, Connor and Zachary are what matter most.And, I’m sure it’s the same in your family. It is a joy to wake up everyday knowing that the love we share with our family gives meaning to everything else we do.

CORRECTION: Michael Valenti has completed his Eagle Scout service project, but has not yet been named an Eagle Scout. A story published in The Laker/Lutz News on July 5 was incorrect on that point.

The Prevent Needless Deaths campaign is reminding parents, caregivers and the general public to practice water safety to prevent children from drowning.

Drowning is the top preventable death for children ages 1 to 4 in the Tampa Bay area. Parents and caregivers should be alert when children are swimming.

They also should remember that drowning hazards are not limited to pools, ponds or beaches. Buckets, toilets, inflatable pools, bathtubs and pet water bowls also pose a danger.

Here are some tips to help prevent drowning: • Stay alert. Small children drown silently, without calling for help.

• Designate a “water watcher.”Assign an adult to keep an eye on the child at all times when they are near water. The watcher should avoid distractions, such as phone calls, texting or other electronic devices.

• Be within arm’s reach.An adult should be within arm’s reach and close enough to rescue a child if needed.

• Do not rely on flotation devices.These

devices, such as water wings, inner tubes and even life vests, should only be used in conjunction with close adult supervision.

• Enclose your pool. Be sure your pool follows all legal requirements for barriers and locks.

• Get swim lessons. According to the American Association of Pediatrics, children can safely take swim lessons as early as age 1.

• Look out for hidden hazards. Empty bathtubs, buckets and inflatable pools of water when they are no longer in use. Keep pet bowls out of a child’s reach and bathroom doors closed.

Every Dog Has His Day (Cats too)

By Will Plazewski Special to The Laker / Lutz News

From the moment you walk in, you can literally see the difference. At Starkey Ranch Animal Hospital and Rehab Center, the rehab therapy wing alone seems as big as other veterinary clinics, and is definitely a lot more open than most.

This is by design. Having 1,500 sq. ft., of open-concept rehab space is much more calming to both pet and owner, than some cramped, little, windowless room. Owner, Dr. David Sheridan, D.V.M. says, “It feels like they’re at the gym, because basically they are.”

He’ll also tell you that in rehab it’s important for the pet owner to be an active part of the process whenever possible, that way they can see all the benefits first-hand. Dr. Sheridan, whose staff includes a certified canine rehab therapist, has been practicing locally since 2004.

In addition to being a licensed vet, his background in exercise physiology allows him to apply additional knowledge to pet treatment, be it in postoperative rehab therapy, or while overseeing the fitness training of agility dogs.

His wife, Melissa, the animal hospital’s administrator, grew up locally in Carrollwood. They are the parents of three children. Their family owned business on Gunn Highway in Odessa was opened in 2009, under a different name. The Sheridans took over the facility in 2015 and renamed it last

year to better reflect the variety of services they offered.

As a full-service veterinary hospital, they do much more than just rehabilitation therapy. As you’d expect, more familiar services, such as vaccinations, dental care and medical diagnoses, are offered. But, so are things like acupuncture treatment, orthopedic and soft tissue surgery, and ultrasound therapy.

Additionally, they offer laser therapy, and can treat cardiac, renal, hepatic, dermatologic and endocrine diseases, as well as diabetes. Turning back to the rehab side, one of their two treadmills is the underwater variety for use in hydrotherapy.

It’s clear that Starkey Ranch Animal Hospital and Rehab Center strives to provide the most complete veterinary medical and rehab care around. Call to schedule an appointment for your pets today, and see the difference for yourself.

PASCO SCHOOL GRADES RISE

Pasco County schools achieved school grade improvements with increases in the number of A and B schools, and decreases in the number of schools under state review.

Local students awarded scholarships

The improvements reflect the dedication of Pasco County students and teachers, as the district’s grade improved from a C in 2016 to a B. Seven schools improved by two letter grades, and 29 schools improved by one letter grade.

Calusa and Hudson elementary schools improved from an F to a C; Lacoochee, Moon Lake and Gulf Trace elementary schools improved from a D to a B; and, Pine View and Quail Hollow elementary schools improved from a C to an A. A focus on school improvement created a reduction in the number of differentiated accountability (DA), turnaround, and lowest 300 schools. DA schools improved from 23 schools in 2016 to only one in 2017.

Four schools implemented a turnaround program in 2016, and all have achieved success to come out of turnaround.

The number of district lowest 300 improved from 11 to 4.

Altogether, there are 15 A, 20 B, 35 C, one D, and no F Pasco district schools.

There were four A, two B and one C Pasco charter schools.

Athenian Academy of Pasco County saw the highest grade increase among charters, improving from a D to a B.

FOURTH, from page 1A

The winners from the Lutz Fourth of July Parade:

necessarily say you can do that at the Gasparilla Parade (in Tampa).

“We see people every single time,” she said.

Parade participants ranged from scouts carrying flags, to kids riding bicycles, to belly dancers shimmying down the street.

Lots of people in the parade were clearly having a great time, including Rosie Heim, the newly elected honorary mayor of Land O’ Lakes.

Heim waved to friends and onlookers from the back of a convertible being driven

by Suzanne Beauchaine, of the Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce.

Both women smiled broadly, as they made their way down the parade route.

Some parade watchers stood under the blazing sun. Others settled on lawn chairs, shaded by ancient oaks.

Wendi Meyers, of Land O’ Lakes, came to see her dad, Maj. Steve Gay, squadron commander of the of the North Tampa-Lutz Cadet Squadron of the civil air patrol. He was marching in the parade.

Meyers and her 5-year-old daughter,Ayla, had to wait quite some time to see Gay, but when they did, he flashed them a huge smile and a wave.

As people passed by throwing beads, Linda Voyton, of Lutz, encouraged them to toss them a bit farther.

“Get an arm, get an arm. You’ve got to throw harder than that,”Voyton said.

“Big arm. Big arm. Throw hard. Throw hard,” she urged another bunch of bead throwers.

Voyton, who was at the parade for the first time, was accompanied by her 7-yearold grandson, Jayden Beezer, and her daughter, Nina Beezer.

As a group of U.S.Army Retired veterans rode by on motorcycles, Voyton expressed her appreciation.“Thank you for your service,” she shouted.

The parade attracted most of the crowd’s attention, but there were other aspects of the event, as well, including a baking competition and auction, a train show, races before the parade, vendors and the election of a new Lutz Guv’na.

Twenty-one-year-old Kori Rankin raised the most money, winning the title of Lutz Guv'na for 2017.

She defeated Lutz Guv’na incumbent Greg Gilbert, of Beef O’ Brady’s, and Jessica Sherman, of Pinch A Penny Lutz, to win the title.

All together, the candidates raised $7,000, which will be used to support Lutz community groups.

Rankin isn’t the first member in her family to win the coveted sash. Her stepmother, Jennifer Rankin, won the honorary title in 2015.

permitting stages for infrastructure on another outparcel in the eastern area of Cypress Creek.

Cypress Creek could end up with two grocery stores.

Aldi representatives inquired in March about opening one of its discount grocery stores on an outparcel owned by Sierra that is at an entrance into Tampa Premium Outlets.

In June, a pre-application meeting was scheduled to discuss an approximately 24,000 square-foot grocery store at the northwest corner of State Road 56 and Wesley Chapel Boulevard – across from the Aldi site.That grocery store was not identified.

Plans also call for another 11,500 square feet of retail.

Construction has been completed on the stage at the Land O’ Lakes Community Park, 5401 Land O’ Lakes Blvd. It is expected to become a popular place for concerts, plays, movies and other community activities.

STAGE, from page 1A grant for the stage.

But, during the Aug. 16 groundbreaking ceremony for the stage, Corcoran credited Graves for her passionate persistence.

“Sandy — she just dogged it, day in and day out,” Corcoran said.“The perseverance is something I’ve never seen.”

Gadd played a leadership role in securing help from business partners — in the form of donated or at-cost goods or services — to complete the project within budget.

Now that the stage is complete, Hurley is excited about the potential.

“We have a venue now, where people can come for movies, or for concerts. The school is right across the field now. The school is going to use this for their productions.

“It is truly a community place where people can enjoy the arts of all kinds,” Hurley said.“Twenty people can use this, or 500,” she said.“It’s just another welcome addition to our community.”

Susan MacManus, a long-time supporter of the project, was at the party, too.

“There’s nothing like a community park to bring people together, neighbor to neighbor, business to business. It’s a good thing,” MacManus said.

Graves is thrilled by the project’s completion.

“It’s surreal. So many years, I toted that picture (of the potential stage) around,” Graves said.

The project exceeded her expectations,

Now, she’s looking forward to schools using the stage for concerts and to the venue being used for other community events.

Youth track club reaches nationals

By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

One local youth track club has reached the national stage — gearing up to compete against some of the sport’s best.

Speed Starz Track Club recently qualified for the 21st Annual AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) Club Championships, at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando.

The Wesley Chapel-based club is sending five athletes, ranging in age from 13 to 17, for its first appearance in the national showcase, held July 11 through July 15.

The club championships offer the last chance for athletes to qualify for the 2017 AAU Junior Olympic Games in Detroit, Michigan, July 26 to Aug. 5.The top eight finishers in each track and field event qualify for the Junior Olympics.

Representing Speed Starz at the national meet are a trio of athletes from Sunlake High School — rising seniors Arielle Boone and Melissa Mowery, and rising sophomore Gianna Levy.

Joining them are Guadalupe Guerra, a rising freshman at Wiregrass Ranch High School, and Landon Williams, a rising seventh-grader at John Long Middle School.

Since May, the five athletes — along with several others — have been training extensively with BB Roberts, the club’s head coach.

Roberts organized the Speed Starz in 2013 and simultaneously created a sports training company — Fast, Sprint, Quick Athletic Performance LLC. The AAU circuit is regarded as more challenging than the high school and middle school levels. That’s because it has an increased number of elite-caliber athletes from every region of the country.

“It’s much more competitive,” said Guerra, a long-distance runner who last season was named 2017 Pasco County Middle School Girls Track Athlete of the Year.

“At the school level, there’s not as many people that have as much fast times, so (AAU) pushes you harder,” she said.

The athletes’ emotions have been swirling, leading up to the weeklong festivities.

“I’m happy, and I’m nervous,” said Boone,“because I’ve never been to a national event.”

“I’m kind of just anxious to see what happens,” added Levy.“I feel like this type of competition will give me motivation to really try hard.”

Speed Starz Track Club national qualifiers Arielle Boone, senior, Sunlake High School Events: Long Jump, Triple Jump, 200meter dash, 100-meter dash Gianna Levy, sophomore, Sunlake High School Events: 400-meter hurdles, 200-meter dash, 100-meter dash

BB Roberts is the club’s head coach. He organized the Speed Starz in 2013 and simultaneously created a sports training company — Fast, Sprint, Quick Athletic Performance LLC.

Williams, the youngest competitor at 13 years old, echoed similar sentiments.

“I’m a little nervous, but it will be exciting,” she said.“I just want to do my best, and beat my previous times.”

The national showcase, meanwhile, provides an opportunity for track athletes — particularly upcoming seniors — to catch the eye of college recruiters, who seldom attend regular high school meets.

“I tell kids all the time,‘If you really want to get recruited, get involved with this stuff.’

I wish I had done it,” said Roberts. “(Recruiters) go to the state meets sometimes, but they always go to AAU meets every summer.”

Roberts also does his part to ensure the

club’s athletes get noticed.

“He makes sure that we have our own portfolio…and he really pays attention when it comes to getting recruited,” said Mowery, who’s competing in the heptathlon.

Roberts, now 31, was a record-breaking sprinter at Wesley Chapel High School, and later at Coffeyville Community College, a junior college in southeast Kansas.

Today, he maintains his passion for track and teaching youth, of all ages and abilities.

“Track can help you do anything,” Roberts said, noting it translates well to other sports, including football and soccer.

His pupils come from all over Pasco, including Dade City, Zephyrhills, Wesley Chapel, Wiregrass and Land O’ Lakes, over the last few years.

Roberts emphasizes proper running form.

He’s also an advocate of resistance training, utilizing Kbands and speed parachutes, among other products.

Those methods helped Boone set a personal record in the 200-meter dash (25.97).

“My first two weeks working with him, I PR’d by over half a second; it’s been a really big help,” said Boone, the 2017 Sunshine Athletic Conference (SAC) East Field Athlete of the Year and one of the county’s top jumpers.

It likewise helped Levy, a 2017 SAC East Second-Team All-Conference sprinter and hurdler.

A former gymnast, Levy acknowledged

Melissa Mowery, senior, Sunlake High School Events: Heptathlon (100m hurdle, 800m, 200m, high jump, long jump, shot put, javelin) Guadalupe Guerra, freshman, Wiregrass Ranch High School Events: 3,000-meter run, 1,500-meter run, 2,000-meter steeplechase Landon Williams, seventh-grade, John Long Middle School Events: 3,000-meter run, 1500-meter run, 800-meter dash, shot put

her running stride used to be “really bad.”

Intense, one-on-one work with Roberts quickly changed that.

“He’s really helped my arms, so now I don’t even think about the way I run,” Levy explained.

“He takes more time to develop you.”

No matter the group’s outcome in Orlando, each is laying the groundwork for next track season.

“If you compare their times back when they ran in March or February, there’s a big difference,” Roberts said.

“If you ask any professional track athlete, during the summertime is when you peak the highest. It’s why the Olympics are in the summer, and why they have tryouts in the summer.”

And, that summer grind has made the athletes eager for the possibilities ahead.

That’s especially true for Boone and her fellow Sunlake High comrades.

“It’s exciting,” Boone said, “because I know when we come back to the high school season, we’re going to do really good.

“We’ve been training all offseason — and that’s when you get better,” she said.

SAINT LEO PLAYER TO PLAY ON GREAT BRITAIN NATIONAL TEAM

Members of the Sunlake High School varsity cheerleading team participated in the 16th annual Cheer Hawaii USA Summer Invitational at the University of Hawaii in June. Just 139 cheerleaders and nine coaches from across the United States were selected to participate in the prestigious camp this year. The Sunlake cheerleaders learned new chants and cheers, and also had the opportunity to stunt with Penn State University cheerleaders.

Land O’ Lakes High pitcher Callie Turner was named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-South Region First-Team.

SOFTBALL PITCHER EARNS NATIONAL RECOGNITION Callie Turner, a rising junior at Land O’ Lakes High School, was recently selected to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-South Region First-Team.

The NFCA awards honor softball student-athletes from the association’s five regions with first- and second-team recognition; member coaches from each region’s respective committees selected the honorees.

Turner, a University of Tennessee softball commit, is one of 160 student-athletes representing 93 programs to receive 2017 NFCA High School All-Region accolades.

Besides Turner, just two other players from Florida received honors— Canterbury’s Danielle Romanello and Taylor Bump.

Turner, the Miracle Sports Class 6A Pitcher of the Year and one of the state’s most dominant aces, helped guide Land O’ Lakes (29-3) to its first fastpitch title in May. She won 17 games, posting a 0.21 ERA and 249 strikeouts in 132.2 innings pitched.

In her 20 starts, Turner tallied 18 complete games, 10 shutouts and four no-hitters.

Also a standout hitter, she batted .319 with 14 RBIs.

STEINBRENNER HIGH BASEBALL STANDOUT SIGNS PRO CONTRACT

Patrick Morris, a 2017 Steinbrenner High School graduate, has inked a professional baseball contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, netting a signing bonus of $206, 500.

Shortly after agreeing to terms, Morris was assigned to the Gulf Coast League Blue Jays in Dunedin, the club’s rookie-level minor league affiliate.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound power-hitting left-handed first baseman was drafted by Toronto in the 14th round of last month’s MLB Draft — the primary mechanism for assigning amateur baseball players, from high schools, colleges, and other amateur baseball clubs.

Morris was ranked by Baseball America as the the state’s 89th best draft prospect.

Over the past two seasons at Steinbrenner, he displayed extra-base and home run power, tallying eight home runs, 17 doubles and 43 RBIs cumulatively.Also a solid pitcher, he posted a career 2.71 ERA, with 82 strikeouts in 95.2 innings.

Besides Morris, other draft picks from The Laker/Lutz News coverage area who have signed pro baseball contracts include: Nate Pearson (Odessa/Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School/Florida International University/College of Central Florida), who signed with the Toronto Blue Jays; Kevin Merrell (Steinbrenner High School/University of South Florida), who signed with the

“I’m so proud to see Gina represent and make this team,” Saint Leo head coach Anthony Crocitto said. “She has mentally and physically put in the work this summer and deserves this opportunity.We are all excited to follow Gina’s success.”

Lutz draws a crowd on July Fourth

By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

W

hether they were competing in the Cake Bake competition, driving a float in the parade, or checking out the entertainment at the old Lutz Depot — Lutz was a popular place to be on the Fourth of July.

Once again, the annual event was a showcase for patriotism — from a rendition of the national anthem, to the traditional raising of the American flag, to a pa-

rade which wound its way down Lutz Lake Fern Road, along Second Avenue N.W., down First Street N.W., and then in front of the Lutz Branch Library.

Scouts sold hot dogs and cheeseburgers, the GFWC Lutz-Land O’ Lakes Woman’s Club sold doughnuts and coffee, and other vendors sold everything from handmade soap to smoked mullet to homemade jam.

People of all ages seemed to get into the spirit of things at Lutz’s Independence Day event — joining together to celebrate America’s birth.

FRED BELLET

The wind-blown American flag covering his face did not throw this scout from Boy Scout Troop 12 off course, during the annual Lutz Independence Day celebration.

Three-month-old Braylen Moore had a great viewing place for the parade, sitting on her mom’s — Emily Moore of Lutz — lap at the parade.

Dave Sheridan, left, of Carrollwood, and wife, Moriah, try to keep their 5-year-old pug, Reggie, cool during the Lutz Fourth of July parade. It was a hot one.

The military was well-represented during Lutz’s annual Fourth of July parade.

A four-wheeler pulls the Tampa BMX float along the Lutz Fourth of July parade route.

Frank Danielson, of Lutz, made sure everyone in the crowd had a miniature American flag to wave at passing floats.

Stanley is a ‘winner’

Stanley was born just a few weeks before the Tampa Bay Lightning won the 2004 NHL title and is named after the Stanley Cup. Like most cats, he enjoys treats and naps. He likes it when someone pets his head, but not too much. Stanley lives in Lutz with Miriam, Joe and 9-year-old Andrew Humphrey.

LOCAL WILDLIFE

Virginia is a lovely lady

When Virginia came to the shelter, she had an odd indentation in her upper lip. After being examined by the veterinarian, it was determined to be a ‘rodent ulcer.’ This does not mean that she was actually bitten or hurt by another animal, but it is a reaction that can be seen in cats, sometimes related to allergies, genetic disposition or autoimmune issues. With antibiotic and steroid treatments, Virginia is doing quite well, and there is already great improvement. Virginia will need long-term monitoring and treatment during her lifetime.

If you would like to adopt Virginia, 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.

Occasional visitors This bird, believed to be a black-hooded conure, visits the feeder of Karen Whitenton’s Lutz home in Willow Bend, throughout the year. As many as six or seven may fly in at the same time and hang around, eating for 30 minutes or so. Then, they fly off and aren’t seen again for a month to three months. The birds have a very loud squawk, and Whitenton can always hear them coming before she sees them. The conure’s orange ‘pant legs’ are distinctive.
