Hurricane Irma: A disruptive force By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutz.com
With Hurricane Irma threatening Florida last week, officials weren’t taking any chances on where or when the massive storm would make landfall. The deadly storm was churning in the Atlantic, when Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency on Sept. 4, warning residents that Irma is a “a massive storm” that could prove devastating. “This storm is bigger, faster and stronger than Hurricane Andrew,” Scott said, during a news conference, referring to a Category 5 Hurricane, ripping through Miami in 1992. Andrew claimed 65 lives and caused an estimated $26.5 billion in damages. “If you’re in an evacuation zone, you’ve got to get out,” Scott said, during one of several interviews he did on national television. In addition to closing all state offices on Sept. 8, he also closed all state colleges, universities and public schools. He said he wanted to provide ample space for shelters. Wiregrass Ranch High School in Wesley Chapel is one of several schools in Pasco County serving as a shelter. It opened at 11 a.m. on Sept. 8 and people were already beginning to arrive. Ninety-one-year-old Mac McKechnie, of Zephyrhills, and his wife, Rae, were among those planning to stay at the shelter. McKechnie said they came to the shelter because they live in an area that floods. Plus, he added:“My wife is a nervous wreck.” Robyn White, principal of the high school, said the shelter has a capacity of around 1,700. “Right now, we don’t have rooms set up for that. We’re going to open us rooms as needed,” she said. The areas are divided into a special needs area and areas for adults and families, White said. The special needs areas will have oxygen and electricity for people who need it for their nebulizers, said Denise Fackender, of the Pasco County Health Department. “We will be supplying oxygen, so that they don’t have to use up their small tanks,” Fackender said. White said the shelter will stay open until officials tell her the event is over, which she expects might be for a few days. Other local schools that were designated to serve as shelters were Sunlake High School, Wesley Chapel High, Centennial Middle, in Pasco County and Hammond Elementary in Hillsborough County. The Laker/Lutz News, regularly published on Wednesdays, went to press on Sept. 8. The initial goal was to deliver the newspaper before Irma made landfall, but the plan changed when it became clear that it would not be possible to achieve that.

Hurricane Irma is deemed to be one of the strongest hurricanes to hit the Atlantic. It had sustained wind speeds of 185 mph.

These beds, set up at Wiregrass Ranch High, were awaiting special needs residents who needed to be evacuated for Hurricane Irma.
As the monster storm approached, it was obvious that residents were taking it seriously. Gas and bottled water were in short supply, and parking lots were full at home improvement stores, as customers picked up plywood and other supplies to fortify their homes and businesses. The threat of Hurricane Irma, whose path still remained uncertain at press deadline, caused government offices to close and scores of businesses and local organizations to postpone or cancel events. The Pasco County Commission issued a local state of emergency on Sept. 6 for Pasco County, allowing the county administrator and assistant county administrator of public safety to waive everyday procedures as they feel necessary to ensure the health and safety of the community. The Southwest Florida Water Management District closed all district-managed lands including these properties in the Laker/Lutz News coverage area: Conner Preserve, 22500 State Road 52, in Land O’ Lakes; Cypress Creek Preserve, 8720 Pump Station Road in Land O’ Lakes; the Green

The new award singled out Porter for his “passion, strong will, persistence and dedication,” according to a news release from the
Pasco County commissioners might soon give local vendors an advantage over their competitors when bidding on county government contracts. Commissioners directed legal staff to amend the county’s purchasing ordinance to create a local preference system for contract bids, during an Aug. 22 workshop in Dade City. For instance, a local company that offers the second lowest bid could become eligible for a contract by matching the low bid offer from a competitor.The rule would apply only within specific guidelines, based on how wide the gap could be between the bids. Also, local engineers, architects and other professional service providers could get extra points when ranked by evaluation committees. Pasco relies on businesses from inside and outside the county, said Pasco County Commissioner Mike Wells. But, giving preference to local businesses makes sense, he added.“It’s an economic driv-

PUBLISHER’S NOTE Why we printed your newspaper early By Diane Kortus
we are able to develop and carry out plans that met our goals.
A WEEKLY SPIN
First, it was the Lake Padgett Estate sinkhole in Land O’ Lakes. And now, it’s Hurricane Irma. Both were international news, and both happened in our backyard. How does a small operation like The Laker/Lutz News manage to cover these big stories along with everything else we do (prep sports, city and government news, schools, business and community events)? We almost always report on breaking news after the fact, and then do it with our unique weekly spin. Our stories focus on how these events impact our local families and businesses.We let people know how they can get help, and also how they can help their neighbors. There are plenty of news outlets that give you breaking news. But, only The Laker/Lutz News drills down to your community and reports how an emergency like Irma directly impacts the neighborhood where you live and your local businesses, schools and government agencies. Even when there isn’t a sinkhole or a hurricane to cover, our goal every week is to be a trustworthy, community resource with professionally written, unbiased stories. Every story, every news brief, every photo in The Laker/Lutz News is tied directly to our readers in Pasco and north Hillsborough counties. And, that’s why you read our newspaper — because our stories are relevant to your life, and answer questions about living in Lutz, Land O’ Lakes, Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills and Dade City. This week, our Hurricane Irma package aims to provide a glimpse of the impacts Irma has already had on our community and to help you recover from the damages Irma may leave in its wake.As always, our goal is to be a resource for our community. Thank you for being our reader through good times and bad. I pray that you and your loved ones come safely through Irma. Let’s do the best we can to weather this storm and its aftermath together.
Book reuse program tops $25,000 The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report
Pasco County Libraries has partnered with Better World Books since 2005, which has resulted in more than $25,000 in donations to Friends of the Pasco County Library System. The partnership serves as an outlet to donate books that are no longer needed in a library collection. Books are removed for a variety of reasons, mainly deteriorating condition or to make way for newer volumes. Many of the books are shipped directly to Better World Books, which is based in Mishawaka, Indiana. The books are sold through the company’s online bookstore. Books that are not sold are donated to various charities around the world that promote literacy in adults and children. Books that are in poor condition are recycled. Better World Books then donates a percentage of each sale to the Friends of the Pasco County Library System, allowing it to
fund a wide range of programs and events for the community. “Literacy is a critical mission of the library. We are pleased that unneeded books get a second life by helping children and adults discover the joy of reading,” Bob Harrison, public communications specialist, said in a release. The partnership also makes a positive environmental impact that comes from reusing and recycling books. In the past 12 years, Pasco County Libraries has shipped 85,961 books, equaling 117,657 pounds, to Better World Books. The release also said that represents 1,386 trees and 763,413 gallons of water saved. In addition, the gesture cut back on 183,112 pounds of greenhouse gases and 190 cubic yards of landfill space.

If so, I suggest a trip to Duncheon’s Nursery in Land O’ Lakes. Patrick Duncheon and his daughter, Kathleen Concilio, have watched the nursery grow since Patrick started the business over 25 years ago. In that time, their reputation has flourished. The Duncheon staffff is known for their knowledge and friendliness, and for taking great care of their gardens – and customers.

s I write this column, it is Friday morning — two days before Irma arrives in Florida, and at least a full day before we know what kind of impact the hurricane will have on Tampa Bay. In the aftermath of Harvey, everyone is on edge because of the stress getting ready for the storm, and the uncertainty of when and where Irma will make landfall. In anticipation of Irma, one way we coped here at The Laker/Lutz News was to begin planning as soon as we got back from the Labor Day weekend. Initially we decided to move up our production deadlines so we could print our papers and begin delivery on Saturday —before Irma arrived. By Friday, that plan had changed. Irma’s arrival was moved up to Sunday, and there was no longer enough time to deliver before the storm. So, while our papers still will be printed early, we went back to our regular Tuesday and Wednesday delivery, after Irma is well out of Florida. The other reason we chose to print our papers early was to ensure the safety of our employees. Like most of you, the people we work with are part of your family, and we care greatly about their well-being. I wanted my staff to be home with their families, and if necessary, have time to evacuate, when Irma hits. This self-determination is one of the best things about owning or working for a small business. My team and I determine what’s best for our colleagues, customers and the business itself, and then go straight into implementation.There’s no chain of command, or lengthy review and approval process. And, this ability makes me so appreciative of my group’s teamwork, outstanding ideas and smooth implementation.Together,

Pasco County high schools have appointed two students each to a new Student Leadership Congress to give students a voice in implementing change in schools countywide. The goal of the Congress is to promote innovative idea sharing and to challenge student leaders to create actionable steps to implement positive change in their schools in collaboration with their principals. River Ridge High School’s principal has already implemented change by revamping student government, to put an emphasis on service projects and required services hours, increase the number of representatives, and have students commit to service hours in order to run for office. Other ideas schools replicated centered around student engagement and recognition: • Allowing seniors to paint their parking spaces for enhanced connectedness to the school • Placing yard signs in the front yards of students to recognize them for high achievement on FSA and Advanced Placement exams • Using a bull horn and confetti to recognize teachers and students. A meeting scheduled for Sept. 13 at Rasmussen College in Land O’ Lakes will include topics such as: • United Day overview/success at Zephyrhills High School • Drug/alcohol/safety discussion surrounding homecoming activities • Innovative ways to support Red Ribbon Week • Feedback on the Safety Pledge implementation and ways to reinforce the message throughout the year • Strategies to improve school attendance, student promotion, and graduation

IRMA, from page 1A cancelled if winds exceed 39 mph. All of Tampa’s YMCA locations were closed on Sept. 10 because of concerns for safety of the Y’s members and its staff. Hillsborough County’s sandbag operations were halted temporarily when the county ran out of sand and bags due to the high demand.At one point, the county was distributing sandbags at an unprecedented clip of 10,000 per hour, county officials said. As of Sept. 7, Hillsborough had distributed nearly 200,000 sandbags, estimated to be about seven times more than distributed in any previous storm event, officials said. Evacuation zones were announced as Irma’s proximity grew closer, and as the track of the storm continued to shift. The threat of Hurricane Irma also caused a number of events to be cancelled. Pasco County Schools cancelled all of its sporting events and activities that were scheduled for Sept. 8 or over the weekend. An event that the Tampa Bay Suicide Prevention Task Force and the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay planned for Sept. 9 will be
rescheduled to a date not yet determined. In announcing that Pasco County Schools would be closed, Superintendent Kurt Browning said he realized that many people may wonder why all of the district’s schools would be closed. He explained the decision this way:“The EOC (Pasco County Emergency Operations Center) doesn’t want school buses full of school children on the roads, as evacuees from other parts of the state are arriving here.We expect thousands of south and east coast Floridians to seek shelter here, or to pass through on their way further North. “We also use school buses to help evacuate special needs citizens to shelters.” The Shops at Wiregrass in Wesley Chapel announced it would be close at the end of business on Sept. 8 and hoped to reopen at 3 p.m., Sept. 11, depending on the conditions. Bishop Gregory L. Parkes of the Diocese of St. Petersburg announced that, for safety reasons, a dispensation of the obligation for attending Mass had been given. He also advised the faithful to check with their local parish regarding any potential cancellations of services.
AWARDS, from page 1A Pasco EDC. The Porter family sold portions of Wiregrass Ranch to develop The Shops at Wiregrass, and more recently Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel. Land donations also were made for the Pasco-Hernando State College’s Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch; and, for a future sports complex at Wiregrass. Pasco County commissioners recently approved a series of agreements that will lead to construction of the complex.

BIDDERS, from page 1A er.We owe it to people to keep money here.” But, there are some caveats on how best to set the rules. Defining which businesses qualify as local is one issue the ordinance would need to spell out. “You have lots of franchises,” said Pasco County Commission Chairman Mike Moore.“A franchisee is really a local owner.” The ordinance also might address a business’ longevity in Pasco, granting an advantage to companies that have been in Pasco longer. Supporters say local preferences could increase the money that stays in Pasco, and encourage more local businesses to bid. But, disadvantages include discouraging out-ofcounty businesses from expanding into Pasco, and higher costs based on less competition. “I’ve always been in favor of local (preference) if it doesn’t cost our citizens more,” said Pasco County Commissioner Kathryn Starkey. “The devil is in the details.” A survey by county officials found that Pasco could lose about 15 percent of current out-of-county bidders, if local vendors can match the low bid. Nearly 400 responses were received from about 2,500 requests for completed surveys,
county officials said. County officials recommended changes in how county staff members are selected to serve on evaluation committees. The goal would be to provide a broader representation from all county departments. However, there was sharp disagreement over whether to allow county commissioners to sit on these types of committees, specifically for professional services. Wells and Commissioner Jack Mariano advocated in favor. Mariano suggested it could be done on a rotating and voluntary basis.“You don’t have to do it, if you don’t want to,” he said. Moore said commissioners could be pulled into lawsuits when bid awards were disputed. “I’m not afraid of it,” Mariano said.“It doesn’t scare me whatsoever.” Starkey and Pasco County Commissioner Ron Oakley also objected to commissioners doing committee work. Pasco County Attorney Jeffrey Steinsnyder recommended against it. “I’m not saying you can’t do it,” he said.“I think it’s a bad idea.” Commissioners opted against an official role for a member of their board to serve on the committees, though Wells and Mariano might opt to monitor the committee meetings. Those meetings are open to the public.
Dangers remain, after a hurricane passes By B.C. Manion
dry ice should keep a fully stocked 18cubic-foot freezer cold for two days.
While storm surge and high winds are the biggest threats that hurricanes pose, there are dangers that go on well after a hurricane has passed. Here are some pointers to help keep you safe, in the wake of possible impacts from Hurricane Irma.
FOOD SAFETY AFTER A FLOOD
bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com
BE CAREFUL
• Do not drive into areas when you don’t know the depth of the water. • Do not touch power lines, anyone or anything in contact with lines. This could include a fence or other object a line may fall onto.Always assume lines are energized and stay away. • Don’t drive over downed power lines, and if a downed power line makes contact with any part of your vehicle, stay inside and tell others to stay away until the line is safely removed and power is turned off.Attempting to get out of the vehicle could result in serious injury or death by electrocution. • Never trim trees around power lines. Only qualified tree contractors should trim trees around power lines. • If you are using a generator, be sure it is outside, well away from doors, windows and vents. Generator exhaust is toxic. Carbon monoxide is deadly, can build up quickly and can linger. Do not use a generator inside a home, garage, crawl space, shed or similar area. • Don’t use a charcoal grill indoor, either. That, too, creates a potential for carbon monoxide poisoning. • Limit contact with floodwater, which may have high levels of raw sewage, bacteria, viruses and contaminants. • If returning home after evacuating, be sure to keep an eye out for snakes and other animals that may have entered your home during the storm.
WATCH WHAT YOU EAT AND DRINK
• If you need to boil your drinking water, be sure to bring it to a rolling boil for a full 1 minute, to kill major waterborne bacterial pathogens. • If your power has gone out, keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. A refrigerator will keep food cold for about four hours if the door is kept closed. A full freezer will hold its temperature for about 48 hours (24 hours if it is half-full). • Use dry ice or block ice to keep a refrigerator as cold as possible during an extended power outage. Fifty pounds of
• Do not eat any food that may have come into contact with floodwater. Discard food that’s not in a waterproof container if there is any chance that it came into contact with floodwater. • Inspect canned foods, and discard any food in damaged cans. • Check each food item separately. Throw out any food that has an unusual odor, color or texture, or that feels warm to the touch. • Check frozen food for ice crystals. Food that still contains ice crystals may be safely refrozen.
CLEANING UP, MAKING REPAIRS
• Remove mold because it can cause serious health problems.The key to mold control is moisture control. After the flood, remove standing water and dry indoor areas. Remove and discard anything that has been wet for more than 24 to 48 hours. • Be sure to use plastic sheeting to cover roof damage and/or broken windows, to keep water from entering your home or business. • Wear protective clothing and use proper equipment when cleaning up the mess the storm left behind. Before trimming trees, make sure there are no power lines nearby. Only qualified tree contractors should trim trees around power lines.
MAKING CLAIMS, AVOIDING SCAMS
• Contact your insurance agent to report any covered damage to your home, apartment or vehicle. Be sure to have detailed photographs, so you can submit them with your claims. • If you had to evacuate, save receipts for all dining, hotel, medical, hygiene and even entertainment. Some of these items may be eligible for reimbursement. Save the receipts from the time you leave your home until you return to stay there. • Watch out for scams and unlicensed contractors. Verify the contractor’s business license and insurance. Make sure quotes are in writing. • If you suspect price gouging, call the state’s Price Gouging Hotline (866)-9-NOSCAM (66-7226).

Pasco Pirates off to solid start By Kevin Weiss
kweiss@lakerlutznews.com
J
ust a few weeks into the regular season, the Pasco High football team already has surpassed its win total from all of last season. In fact, they’ve doubled it. The 2016 season was unpleasant for the Pirates, losing nine straight games until they beat Gulf High — a struggling program that’s now lost 22 straight regular season games — in the season finale. The 1-9 record was its worst since 1978, when Jimmy Sessoms coached the team. The struggling campaign was a surprise to many, considering the Pirates often have been one of the county’s upper-tier programs under longtime head coach Tom McHugh. McHugh, in his 11th season, has a career mark of 83-35, which includes a string of seven straight playoff appearances from 2007 to 2013. Additionally, under McHugh, FILE the Pirates have produced some of the county’s top players who Pasco High head coach Tom McHugh, in his 11th season, has a career mark of 83-35, which includes a have gone on to collegiate and string of seven straight playoff appearances from 2007 to 2013. professional careers, including, defensive tackle Joey Ivie (University of Crawford, the Pirates display an explosive Florida/Dallas Cowboys, defensive back Josh rushing attack currently averaging more Johnson (Purdue University/Canadian than 200 yards per game — thanks to a trio Football League/Jacksonville Jaguars), athlete of runners in senior Jaleel Hansberry, and Janarion Grant (Rutgers University) and de- juniors Early Knight and Jacquez Mobley. fensive back Jayvaughn Myers (Auburn The defense, too, has shown an ability to University). create pressure and limit opposing yardage, Yet, perhaps the biggest disappointment early on. to the Pirates’ faithful wasn’t the abysmal 1It also doesn’t hurt that the Pirates have 9 record, but its devastating 46-0 home loss three reigning All-Sunshine Athletic to Zephyrhills High in the annual 9-Mile War Conference players in senior offensive line— oftentimes a one-sided affair in which man/defensive tackle Camron Craig, senior Pasco High claims the all-time series record middle linebacker Cameron Smith and sen40-19. ior defensive lineman Cody Mercer.

Cypress Creek head football coach Mike Johnson earned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Coach of the Week honors for his team’s
Cypress Creek football coach earns weekly honor Elsewhere in the Pasco County prep football scene, Cypress Creek head football coach Mike Johnson recently earned Tampa Bay Buccaneers Coach of the Week honors for his team’s Week 1 win over Gulf High on Aug. 25 — the school’s inaugural regular season football game. The honor means Johnson will receive a $2,000 grant to help maintain and upgrade the Cypress Creek football program. At the conclusion of the season, a Buccaneers High School Coach of the Year will be selected and earn an additional award from the pro franchise. Candidates are chosen based on coaches that have led their schools to an impressive victory, and demonstrated a commitment to fundamentals, player safety, sportsmanship, academic development and community engagement. Johnson, in his first year as a varsity head coach, has no seniors on the roster, as only underclassmen from Wesley Chapel and Wiregrass high schools were rezoned to Cypress Creek. The school, at 8701 Old Pasco Road, has about 1,500 students in grades six through 11 this year. The first-year program also was at a disadvantage when it had limited participation in spring drills and no spring game, as most players were occupied with other sports and activities at their former schools. Johnson previously coached at Stuart Middle School and served as an offensive line coach at Wesley Chapel High School, under former head coach Ben Alford. Johnson, who also was a former defensive back at Division III Eureka College in Illinois, bases his coaching foundation on what he refers to as the “5Cs”— Commitment, Consistency, Courage, Communication and Compassion.

Creating beauty from bits of glass By B.C. Manion
bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com
F
using glass to create works of art is much like other types of artistic creation, according to Michele Gould, of Purple Cloud Studio, in Land O’ Lakes. “Every glass artist, like every painter, has his own vision,” said Gould, who recently taught a free two-hour Fused Glass 101 class at the Land O’ Lakes Branch Library, at 2818 Collier Parkway. Before the class began, Gould cut big flat sheets of art glass into various shapes and sizes. “I have every color of the visible light spectrum in glass that you can imagine,” Gould said, adding,“everyone picks their own color scheme.” She also gives each student a clear piece of glass, which serves as a clear glass canvas. “I set them free with the glass. Everybody does their little thing,” Gould said. Next, the students use tiny bits of glue to attach whatever pattern they’ve created onto the clear blank glass. After the art works dry, Gould takes each of them back to her studio to fire them in a kiln. While she’s teaching the class, she offers tutorials about art glass and about safety. She also shows the students samples of completed works, to show them what happens to the art glass, as its fired in a kiln. What begins as raw, sharp glass, gets soft and loses it edge, she explained. They also can see that the pieces of glass she uses are compatible, meaning that they shrink and expand at essentially the same rate. If they weren’t, the fused glass could pop or break apart later, she said. Pieces of different colored art glass can be layered or stacked, but the colors won’t blend when the pieces are fired, she said. “They’re layered, but they retain their original color. If I stack a red and a blue, I’m not going to get purple. They don’t mix at all.They just do their thing.What you see is what you get,” Gould said. She showed students an example, to let them see how the colors come out. She also tells students about cathedral glass and opal glass. Cathedrals, like a church, let the light come through, she said. Opals are more opaque. Gould loves working with glass. “There’s tons of different things you can make with fused glass. “People do all sorts of stuff with art glass — from sinks in your bathroom to lamps and lighting. It’s really kind of cool. I cut it into pieces. I make bowls. I make jewelry.” Gould believes that a free class, like the one she taught, might encourage someone to take a chance at self-expression. “I have people say,‘I’m not artistic,’” Gould said. But, she doesn’t believe it. “That’s part of your human experience, and your creative spirit is there,” she said. “Maybe you wouldn’t do this normally, but if it were free, maybe you’d take a chance on it. Maybe you’d find something new out about yourself.” To learn more about Gould and her work, visit Michele Gould @Purple Cloud Studio on Facebook.

PET PAWS SHELTERS AND YOUR PET
The shelter environment can be stressful for animals and may affect them in many ways. Common signs of stress can include drooling, diarrhea, decreased appetite, hiding, pacing, excessive barking, fear, aggression, shaking or trembling, or a general change in behavior/demeanor. Additional issues found in pets in a shelter can be gastrointestinal upset or decreased appetite due to dietary change, external parasites, internal parasites, and bacterial or viral infections. Current vaccines are especially important for animals that are going to be in a shelter environment as the stress can decrease your pet’s ability to fight off diseases. For information, call Pasco County Animal Services in Land O’ Lakes at (813) 929-1212.
LOST AND FOUND
Pasco County Animal Services offers these tips for lost and found pets. If a pet is lost: • Visit the shelter to visually look for your missing pet. • If your pet is chipped, contact the chip company to ensure all information is up to date. • Create lost flyers and post them in your area.
• Create a report on one of these websites: FidoFinder.com or TabbyTracker.com. Also, check Petango.com, as all animals impounded in the shelter are posted immediately. Lost/found cats: The shelter does not typically accept stray and feral cats, as there is no leash law for cats in the county. Cats that are accepted must meet specific criteria: • Cats found outside that are declawed (front, back or both) • Sick/injured • Too young/too old to fend for themselves • Cats that have bitten or scratched a person If a pet is found: • Visit the shelter to have the pet scanned for a chip. • Post flyers in your neighborhood. • Surrender the pet to the shelter in an attempt to find the owners. • Fill out a decline to release form and keep the pet at your home while you look for the owner. • Post on Facebook and Craigslist. • Post on Lost/Found Pet websites, such as FidoFinder.com or TabbyTracker.com. Pasco County Animal Services, 19640 Dogpatch Lane in Land O’ Lakes, can be reached at (813) 929-1212.
