Raymond James closes land deal

By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Raymond James Financial has purchased land from the Porter family, moving a step closer to building an office complex in Wesley Chapel.

The satellite campus could yield hundreds of new jobs for Pasco County.

The Fortune 500 financial company, with headquarters in St. Petersburg, could build as much as 1 million square feet of offices on about 65 acres near State Road 56 at Mansfield Boulevard, east of The Shops at Wiregrass.

The land purchase had been anticipated since July, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved a permit for the project.

J.D. Porter, an owner of Wiregrass Ranch, always knew that Raymond James Financial eventually would move forward with plans to build a satellite campus in Pasco County, across from Pasco-Hernando State College.

The financial company bought about 65 acres for the project on Sept. 15.

Over the years, there have been naysayers who never thought the project would get off the ground after the recession scuttled the project in 2011.

But, J.D. Porter, an owner of Wiregrass Ranch, never doubted that Raymond James believed in the project, and in Pasco.

In fact, Porter said, “Pasco County is in the best situation. It is a place that is built and made to grow in a big way. This really sets it up for leadership to take the bull by the horns. I feel a lot of people will follow suit.”

Nearly six years ago, the Pasco County Commission offered up about $10 million in roadwork and tax break incentives to lure See LAND, page 11A

Ron Thiltgen spent nearly half of his life working in the nursing home industry, so when he retired and was looking for something to do — he naturally gravitated to an avenue where he thought he could do some good.

He decided to volunteer for the Florida Ombudsman Program.

Thiltgen, who lives in Lutz, has devoted the past three years as a volunteer advocating for quality long-term care for people living in assisted living facilities and nursing homes throughout Hillsborough County.

Recently, he was declared winner of the West Central Council Ombudsman of the Year.

In making the selection, the council noted the 66-year-old’s patience and care for residents, and his ability to get results, according to a news release. He was also lauded for being an excellent mentor for fellow volunteers.

Thiltgen was delighted by the honor.

“It’s nice to be recognized. It feels good when someone appreciates you,” Thiltgen said. He also likes the work.“It’s enjoyable,” he said.

He worked in maintenance for decades, taking care of assorted chores and repairing sinks and toilets, among other things.

“I had a lot of contact with people.They had problems.They didn’t know how to get solutions to them,”Thiltgen said.

He likes being able to help people who live in assisted care facilities or nursing homes who feel isolated and need help. He generally spends a couple of hours a week volunteering, but sometimes more, depending on the problem he’s trying to get resolved.

Many people living in assisted living and nursing facilities don’t have family nearby,

he observed.“They don’t have anybody to turn to,” he said.

“Ombudsmen, we’re able to make contact with them and try to guide them to wherever they can find resolutions,”Thiltgen said.

In one instance, he helped a resident when her wheelchair broke and she was unable to get around.

“We were able to resolve that,” he said.

Many problems can be solved by better communication, he said. But, some problems are more serious, in which case, the resident is referred to other organizations or agencies that can help, he said.

While a resident’s problem may seem small to an outsider, it can become a source of frustration, he said.

“The seniors, they get stressed out,” the former maintenance worker said.

There are about 20 volunteers providing ombudsman services in Hillsborough County, he said, including those from all walks of life.There are retirees, like himself, but also people who still hold paying jobs.

It’s a satisfying feeling to help those living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, he said.

“Everybody ends up happy. It feels great,” he said.

Volunteer firefighter up for national award

By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

Stephanie Sorenson always had a desire to become a firefighter.

But, she was initially hesitant to join the force.

Being a female, the Wesley Chapel resident was unsure how she would be accepted within the Pasco County Fire Rescue fraternity. She, too, was unaware of how to become a volunteer firefighter— until she attended a fire safety event at The Shops at Wiregrass more than four years ago.

“Ever since then,” Sorenson said,“I’ve always enjoyed doing it, and haven’t stopped.”

The 40-year-old woman is assigned to Volunteer Fire Station 28, at 21709 Hale Road in Land O’ Lakes.

Typically, she undergoes Wednesday night fire training sessions, and often picks up weekend shifts, as her schedule permits.

Volunteering, she said, gives her the sense of what its like to be a career firefighter.

“My favorite thing to do is do a 24-hour shift at the career (fire) stations,” she explained.“I like going into the career stations because I feel like I can be of more help, especially the busy stations that get medical calls all the time. I like to be able to go to a busy station, and ride on the ambulance and help out in that way.”

Also a full-time ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) teacher at Clark Elementary in New Tampa, Sorenson balances her volunteer firefighter schedule with her primary responsibilities as a teacher and a mother.

Sorenson recently competed in “Step Up and Stand Out,” a national campaign sponsored by Kidde — a leading manufacturer of residential fire safety product— to increase awareness of the ongoing need for volunteer firefighters. The national contest was launched on Feb. 11 to recognize volunteers who have “gone above and beyond in

their community.”

She is one of five finalists selected from video nominations for volunteers “who represent the best of the fire service.”

The winner of the contest — which continues through Sept. 23 — will receive a $1,000 training grant for their fire department, plus additional prizes – including a free trip for two to Nashville,Tennessee.

Pasco County Volunteer Services Chief Walter Lewellen nominated Sorenson for the nationwide campaign after observing her dedication as a volunteer.

“She has strong interest in the fire service,” Lewellen said about Sorenson.“She has a positive attitude, and she’s very creative in coming up with things that we can do to provide a valuable service to the community.

“When something’s going on, she’s always one of the first persons to try to be involved.”

Lewellen, too, was moved by two life-al-

Commission on Status of Women approved

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

The Pasco County Commissioners has approved an ordinance to establish a Commission on the Status of Women.

It also has approved a resolution naming 10 organizations that will participate in the 15-member commission.

Rosie Paulsen, president-elect of the Hispanic Professional Women’s Association, described the commission’s creation as “a historic moment” during the public comment portion of the county commission’s Sept. 13 meeting.

Paulsen hopes the women’s commission will create a Pasco County Women’s Hall of Fame.“We need one here,” she said.

Pasco County Commissioner Kathryn Starkey noted a recent study showing that women still receive unequal pay for the same work done by men.

“So, get ready,” Starkey declared.

The range of topics is wide open, but similar women’s commissions have addressed equal pay for women, affordable housing, women’s health care, and human trafficking.

Starkey and attorney Michele Hintson began a conversation about establishing the

tering events in Sorenson’s life.

The first was a major house fire caused by an electrical shortage when Sorenson was a middle-schooler in Pinellas County.

“The toaster was plugged in, and it just shorted out and it caught on fire,” Sorenson said about her family’s Seminole home.

Luckily, she said, her family was at church at the time:“No one was hurt.”

But, smoke damage destroyed all of her family’s belongings.

“With the house fire, it just made me very concerned about leaving things plugged in,” she explained.

“We always made sure before we left the house that everything was unplugged, and sometimes my family — because of the anxiety of losing all your belongings and not having a home to live in — we double check things and sometimes triple check.”

The other tragic event occurred later in life —on Sorenson’s high school prom night — when her stepfather was in a horrific car accident.

While driving to the dance, she witnessed firefighters pull him from the wreckage, saving his life through the use of hydraulic rescue tools.

“They had to use the ‘Jaws of Life’ to remove the (car) roof,” said Sorenson.

The two tragic events caused Sorenson to have “an anxiety to the siren,” until she began her volunteer training — overcoming her fear.

“Training gave me confidence,” she said.

“It didn’t matter if I was a female or not, I could do it, too, just like the guys.”

She added:“I love being a firefighter — not only the 24-hour shifts— but I love the continual training that we do, learning and working as a team to help other people.”

Chief Lewellen, who spent 29 years working with Tampa Fire Rescue, said volunteer firefighters provide an invaluable service.

“The volunteer stations tend to be in areas that don’t have as much coverage as other areas so, when they’re in service, it provides a first response unit and a couple of extra hands,” Lewellen said.

That includes cases like last month’s electrical fire at Bayonet Point Medical Center in Hudson, where 209 patients needed to be evacuated.

“I had approximately 30 volunteers over there, and that made a tremendous difference,” said Lewellen.“They helped people get loaded up and transported out of there, and they also set up a rehab area.”

Out of Pasco’s 590 fire rescue personnel, about 120 are volunteers.

The volunteers come from all different backgrounds and walks of life, Lewellen said.

“I have 18-year-old kids with nothing really going on yet, 70-year-old retirees and everything in between, so the volunteers that we have is a broad spectrum and very diverse,” he explained. “We do have an increasing number of female volunteers.”

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), about 87 percent of America’s 30,000 fire departments are either fully or partially staffed by volunteers.

But, the number of volunteer firefighters has steadily deceased over the past 30 years.

An NFPA report published earlier this year shows the number of volunteer firefighters per 1,000 people has been decreasing since 1986.The report — which collects its data through surveys of fire departments — analyzed the number of career or full-time paid firefighters and the number of volunteers from 1986 through 2014.

There were 788,250 volunteers in 2014 compared to 808,200 in 1986, the report shows.

commission about two years ago. Since then, several other women have joined in the discussion.

Nearly two decades ago, the Pasco County Commission approved a women’s commission, but there is little known about what happened after that.

The new ordinance and resolution are updates of those past efforts.

The Pasco County Commission’s five members each will appoint one member to the women’s commission.

The designated organizations also will nominate members that must then be approved by the county commissioners.

Each member will serve three-year terms, but can serve no more than eight years.

Rosie Paulsen, president-elect of the Hispanic Professional Women’s Association, spoke to Pasco County commissioners about the need for a Commission on the Status of Women and a local Women’s Hall of Fame.

Dreaming of a golf league of their own

By Tom Jackson tjackson@lakerlutznews.com

A

s a self-proclaimed “range rat,” it doesn’t take much to keep Ron Nelson happy. Give him a bucket of balls, room on the practice tee and a game on the radio for company, and he’s set.

“It’s golf heaven,” he says.

It is insufficient to call the 69-year-old Nelson a regular at Pasadena Hills Golf Driving Range; he is, more accurately, a devotee to this little patch of paradise off Handcart Road.

It might be the range’s proximity to his home in Zephyrhills. It might be the ease of using an electronic key to retrieve a practice bucket from the ball dispenser. Location and convenience are always big sellers.

Most likely, however, it has to do with the red sign affixed to the entrance gate that declares the range home to the Florida Veterans Golf Association, and also that half the ownership team — PGA teaching professional Fred Bender — served, as Nelson did, in Vietnam.

Bender, a Marine, endured in 1968 the four-month siege of Khe Sanh, a U.S. stronghold in the northwest corner of South Vietnam near Laos. Whatever else he took from the experience — bitterly, as people back home turned against the war, U.S. forces abandoned Khe Sanh within months after winning the battle — Bender knew then he always would be the brother of anyone who wore an American military uniform.

On a recent Monday in an air-conditioned corner of the golf center, Bender was surrounded by military kin, fellows such as Nelson who remember vividly their days as young soldiers, sailors and Marines.

Here was Robert Jones, 65, a 24-year Navy man who experienced Vietnam as a 19-yearold orderly transporting other 19-year-olds, amputee patients, between air transports and

the U.S. Naval Hospital in Philadelphia.

And here was Jim Murphy, 74, a Marine machinist who spent six years in the Pacific just as Vietnam was beginning to heat up.

And here, too, was Melvin Blair, 69, who learned to hit golf balls as a 12-year-old in the north Florida citrus groves where his father picked for a living, then earned four Purple Hearts as an infantryman during a two-year tour in Vietnam.

And, even if those wartime experiences aren’t the sum of who they are, they still shape how they think and how they form their happiest associations.

Put him in a room with 60 random strangers, Bender was saying, and he’ll look for the nearest escape route. But last year, when he screwed up the courage to attend a reunion of Khe Sanh Marines in Savannah, the welcome felt like being surrounded by 300 family members.

Even as he began making plans for the next Marine gathering, “It got me thinking, about what I could do to help get veterans together here,” Bender says.

He thinks, at last, he’s onto something: a veterans’ golf league that tours area courses on a regular schedule, then gathers in the clubhouse to share a meal and whatever is on their minds.

The inaugural event is set, appropriately, for Veterans Day at Silverado Golf and Country Club, off Eiland Boulevard in Zephyrhills.“I just think it would be great to get the guys together on a regular basis,” Bender says, “somewhere other than their usual watering holes.”

Not that there’s anything wrong with watering holes, he says, and here Nelson interjects,“But, you never get to know someone like you do when you play golf.

“It’s four hours together, alone in the outdoors. It’s quiet. You’re playing a game that makes you think.And, you start talking about things that would never come up anywhere else. Stories you’ve never told anyone.”

Nelson, himself, isn’t one to tell stories, even though the one he has to tell is as plain as the scar on his face: a jagged disruption working its way across the bridge of his nose

to just below his right eye.

“I picked it up in the A Shau Valley,” he shrugs.

“A Shau?” says the often-wounded Blair.

“Man, I get scared just hearing the name.”

Rightly so.A Shau served as a conduit for soldiers and supplies flowing from North Vietnam, and attempts to thwart Hanoi’s operations were costly and largely ineffective.

The most infamous of these, in May 1969, involved the taking of an insignificant nob survivors dubbed “Hamburger Hill.”

Nelson, a member of the Army’s 101st Airborne Division, came in on a helicopter and left on a stretcher. He survived, but kept the shrapnel in his sinuses; now it rarely comes up in conversation unless the X-ray tech at the dentist’s office is new.

Then, inevitably, it’s, “What the hell is that?!”And, Nelson patiently explains how he came by his souvenir from the Viet Cong.

Jones told of the courage of lads his age, fresh “out of country,” getting used to the idea of facing life without a limb or two,“and not one of them said,‘I can’t.’ ” Blair recalled sitting by the mess hall door nearest the bunker after the Tet Offensive, because you never knew when a rocket would come flying through the window.“If that seat was taken,” he says,“I didn’t eat.”

The conscientious Murphy, who’d already given blood that Monday morning, spoke with pride about looking after machine guns that never broke down on his watch.

All that and much, much more, came out of an hour spent in the vicinity of a golf practice range. Imagine an entire day on actual links.

Area veterans don’t have to imagine.They can hook up with Fred Bender and turn a dream of ball-striking camaraderie into a talespinning reality.You can visit his web site — PasadenaHillsGolf.com — or catch him at (813) 857-5430.

The same contacts work for potential sponsors. Ring up the man. Send him an email. He survived a siege to make this happen. But, even a Marine capable of creating golf heaven can’t take this hill alone.

African blue basil is a magnet for pollinators.

Pollinator gardens attract bees and other wildlife

By Nicole Pinson

Special to The Laker/Lutz News

Obviously, pollinators are important.

An estimated one-third of the food we eat comes from plants pollinated by animals.

Bees, wasps, flies and hummingbirds are vital pollinators.

Scientists have found that it takes eight or more visits by a bee to a watermelon flower to produce a single watermelon.

So, please consider planting a pollinator garden to increase populations of these beneficial insects.

Similar to butterfly gardens, pollinator gardens incorporate the use of plants, such as host and nectar plants, that attract butterflies. However, they differ in that selected plants also attract other pollinators such as native bees, flies and hummingbirds.

Bees need nectar and pollen, both of which are provided by flowers. Nectar serves as the primary source of carbohydrates for bees, and pollen is essential to brood production, young bee development and hive growth. Interestingly, all pollen is not created equal, and “pollen from different floral sources has different quantities of each component” (Ellis, et al, 2013).

Recognizing that pollinators are important, local Lutz Girl Scout Troop No. 360 worked in partnership with the UF/IFAS Extension Hillsborough County to plant a pollinator demonstration garden at the extension office while earning their Silver Awards.

Silver Awards encourage the cadettes to design their own community project and understand how they impact their community. Obtaining the award requires completing an approved cause and issue service project that is at least 50 volunteer hours.

The purpose of this project is to teach youth and their families about the importance of pollinators, and the relationship between plants and pollinators.This project promotes Florida- Friendly LandscapingTM principles, especially with regard to reducing stormwater runoff, attracting wildlife, reducing pollinator risk when using pesticides, and beautifying our community while preserving and conserving resources such as water.

In addition to planting the pollinator garden, the Girl Scouts wrote newspaper articles and press releases, installed micro-irrigation, created a pollinator display and provided docent tours to the public.

COUL LD YOU HA AV VE ANE EMIA A DUE TO CHRONIC C KIDNEY N Y DISEASE? YES

There are some things thhat you should know if you’ve been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. In certain peop ple, chronic kidney disease can lead d to a serious condition called anemia a. Anemia occurs when your body doesn’ doesn t have enough red blood cells. Red blood cells carr y oxygen to the rest of your body, giving you energy to do your daily activities.

If anemia due to chronic kidney disease is left untreated, you are at risk for serious health consequences, including a higher risk or i k off hheart complications li ti needing a blood transfusion. If you are unsure if you have anemia, or it’’s been a while since you’ve checked, a doctor can diagnose it through a simple blood test.

NO

Do you have e chronic kidney disea ase?

Do you have any of the following sym mptoms:

Feel tired often Shortnesss of breath

Symptoms of anemia are ver y common to many other conditions and can therefore be easily missed. Common anemia symptoms include: Feeling tired often S tness of breath Shor D Diz ziness Racing heartbeat

A NEMIA DUE TO CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE CA N BE TREA AT T ED Annemia due to chronic kidney diseasse is primarily treated with an injection of a medication tha at helps your body produce red blood cells. Because your body needs iron to make red blood cells, your doctorr may also give you iron o , either in pill form or as an IV.

The Girl Scouts learned that there are many plants that attract pollinators.

Examples of great Florida-Friendly LandscapingTM plants include buttonsage lantana Lantana involucrate, blanket flower Gaillardia pulchella, pink swamp milkweed Asclepias incarnate, frogfruit Phyla nodiflora, rayless sunflower Helianthus radula, calamint Calamintha ashei, and white top aster Oclemena reticulate.

Pollinators are important because they help increase fruit set, quality and size, and these benefits can also translate to economic impacts.The U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2014 estimated bee pollinated commodities accounted for $20 billion in annual U.S. agricultural production. Pollinator gardens are unique and these gardens can teach residents and youth how to attract pollinators to their landscapes, while reducing negative environmental impacts associated with landscape management practices.

You can visit the extension office to learn about plants that attract pollinators.

The extension office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Visitors can tour the pollinator garden, along with the Bette S. Walker Discovery Garden and the perennial garden, for free.

Children and their parents can check out pollinator backpacks that contain insect and flower sketch plates, field identification cards, magnifying lenses and books.There is something new to see each time you visit the gardens, and we hope you are inspired to create a pollinator garden of your own.

Treating Pain So It Never Comes Back Special to The Laker / Lutz News

It was just a year ago that Dr. Garret Soldano, a chiropractor for 10 years and owner of Integrated Spine & Pain Center, first learned about a new concept in healthcare that integrates traditional medicine with chiropractic care.

“The more I researched this model, the more excited I became,” said Dr. Soldano.

“Instead of just treating symptoms, integrated medicine figures out what is causing your pain, and then develops a plan to not only fix it, but prevent it from coming back.”

Because just 10 percent of Americans use chiropractic services, and 90% use traditional medical doctors, Dr. Soldano jumped at the opportunity to open a new practice in integrated medicine because he would be able to help so many more people suffering from pain.

He found a perfect location in Wesley Chapel, located on State Road 54 just east of Saddlebrook, and opened Integrated Spine & Pain Center last spring. In just a few months, his practice has grown so much that he’s considering a second location in south Wesley Chapel or Lutz.

Dr. Soldano uses a check engine light to illustrate how integrated medicine works.

“When the check engine light comes on in your vehicle, you take it to your mechanic to figure out why the light came on so he can fix it, and make the light go away,” said Dr. Soldano.

“It’s the same with your body. When you’re in pain, your body’s check engine light comes on. With our approach, we figure out WHY your check engine light is on, and develop a plan to not only fix it, but prevent it from coming on again.”

Take headaches, for example.

It is not normal to have headaches, especially among children. Because his practice has traditional medical doctors on staff, it can rule out the scary reasons for headaches — such as a brain tumor.

Dr. Soldano often finds that headaches, back and neck pain and neuropathy are caused by micro-traumas throughout life (injuries caused by childhood falls, playing sports and poor posture from overuse of cell phones or tablets.)

“These old injuries can result in sprained spinal joints, which are best treated with chiropractic care.

We never use pain medicine as the solution, because pills only mask the problem and does noth-

He’s just hard of hearing.”

Hearing loss is a family affair.

ing to fix it,” said Dr. Soldano.

Many patients benefit from two key treatment areas of integrated medicine.

1. Physical therapy with trigger point injections that promote healing in the dysfunctional muscle. Injections break up knots caused by strains, and that helps patients get better faster.

2. Stem cell therapy uses donated placenta tissue to embed stem cells where there is inflammation. These cells help the body recruit antibodies from its own immune system to repair damage caused by inflammation.

Stem cell treatment is FDA approved and is primarily used to repair damaged knees and shoulders. It offers much faster results, and with far less pain, than surgery.

A team of medical doctors, nurse practitioners and chiropractors examine every patient at Integrated Spine & Pain.

Working alongside Dr. Soldano is Supervising Medical Physician Dr. Don Pham, D.O., Chiropractor Matt Eichler and Nurse Practitioner Viviane Goncalves. Office Manager Paige Cochran assists patients with scheduling and filing insurance claims.

Dr. Soldano is a 2007 graduate of Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport, Iowa. He lives in Wesley Chapel with his wife, Jennifer, who holds a MBA and is CFO of the practice. Their sons, 9-year-old Jack and 6-year-old Alex, attend Wiregrass Elementary.

If you’re suffering from pain, Dr. Soldano wants to see you.

“If you’re in pain, then you’re not healthy. It’s not normal for pain symptoms to come back,” explains Dr. Soldano. “Please call my office and see how our practice of integrated medicine can help you get back to a higher quality of life — a life that you and your loved ones deserve.”

LAWYER, from page 1A also a lawyer with the Law Offices of Lucas Magazine, which is based in New Port Richey and has a satellite office in Wesley Chapel.

Burgess appeared recently at the Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce luncheon meeting in Lutz, to offer some practical legal pointers to the club’s members.

Here are a few of the tips that Burgess doled out: • No. 1: Document everything. Keep a paper trail. He prefers using emails to keep a record.You want to have a written record.

• Read everything. If you’re signing a contract, be sure to read it. It’s important to read every line, to know everything you’re signing.

• In your contracts, have a venue clause — something that says where the lawsuit

can be filed, if we’re in a disagreement and you’re going to go to court.That aims to prevent a lawsuit from being filed in a location that’s out-of-state.

• Be sure that a contract includes an attorney’s fees clause. That ensures that the prevailing party receives attorneys’ fees, in the event of a legal dispute.

• Think about the long-term aspects of a legal dispute. If a customer or client wrongs you and fail to pay, is it likely they will pay if you prevail in the lawsuit? You may be throwing good money after bad.

Burgess also noted that some issues can be resolved through a demand letter, which he said is sometimes affectionately referred to as a ‘nasty-gram’ in the legal community.

The letter sets out what must be done to address the issue, in order to avoid a more serious legal action.

Often, that gets the job done, Burgess said.

SCHOLARSHIPS, from page 1A annual National Merit Scholarship Program.

Semifinalists have an opportunity to compete for some 7,500 National Merit Scholarships which are worth about $33 million.

Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level.

About 90 percent of the semifinalists are expected to attain a finalist standing, and about half of the finalists are expected to win a National Merit Scholarship.

Payne’s parents, Janet and Greg, were pleased by the school’s gesture.

“It’s a very nice surprise. It’s very exciting. It’s really nice that they put this together,” Janet Payne said.

“It’s exciting,” Lauren agreed.

Her dad is proud of her accomplishments. “It is a lot of hard work that she’s putting into it and hopefully, it will turn out well for her.”

“She Kept Me Off The Operating Table” At age 58, the last thing Grace Rickershasuer wanted was back surgery.

But the Lutz woman was out of options and needed relief from chronic back pain going back to a teenage injury.

“My surgery was scheduled and I was set to go. But then I met Peggy at Surgical Alternative. After just a few 20% therapies, I no longer needed surgery and was on the way OFF to a pain free life. It’s been six years and I’m still pain free.

FIRST T For me, Peggy has been a miracle worker,” says Grace.

LAND, from page 1A Raymond James to the county. Raymond James had a target goal of bringing up to 750 new jobs to the county.

But by 2014, company officials said they would delay plans for up to five years.The land purchase is a project restart.

“Obviously, we don’t know when the project will go vertical,” said Pasco County Commissioner Mike Moore. “It will take some time. But, I think it’s going to be a trigger for other development. It’s going to be a draw and bring a lot of attention to our area.”

Wiregrass Ranch already is seeing new growth.

Forest City Enterprises plans to add more

retail and residential next to The Shops at Wiregrass.

Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel, which opened in 2012, is already deep into an expansion, adding three floors and nearly 112,000 square feet of medical space.

Porter said patience paid off with Raymond James. Company officials, county staff and Will Weatherford, who was then Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, worked to make the project happen.

“This was truly a team effort to get the deal done,” Porter said.

Now Raymond James is arriving in the midst of a post-recession boom for Pasco County and Tampa Bay. “This is great for the region (of Tampa Bay),” Porter said.

KEY STATS: The Wildcats compiled 394 rushing yards as a team, averaging a whopping 10.1 yards per carry.

NEXT UP: Wesley Chapel heads to Gulf (0-2) on Sept. 23.

By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

A

nother week of high school football is in the books, as teams approach the midway point of the season. Here’s a look at how the teams in our coverage area fared in Week 4:

SICKLES 30, WIREGRASS RANCH, 29 (OVERTIME) RECAP: A two-point conversion call in overtime by Wiregrass Ranch head coach Mark Kantor ended up backfiring, as the Bulls (1-2) fell to Sickles High in front of its home crowd. Cantor called an inside run to junior tailback Chase Oliver, a bruising 220pounder, who was stuffed at the goal line, sealing the win for Sickles.

Wiregrass led 23-20 halfway through the fourth quarter, before Sickles kicked a field goal to force the extra period, then lead for good on a 16-yard touchdown pass in overtime.

KEY STATS: The loss notwithstanding, Wiregrass senior quarterback Chris Faddoul made an impact with his arm and legs.

Faddoul threw for 113 yards and a TD, rushed for 91 yards, and kicked a 30-yard field goal.

NEXT UP: Wiregrass Ranch has a road contest against Leto (0-3) on Sept. 23.

COURTESY OF SUNLAKE HIGH

The Sunlake Seahawks defeated Land O’ Lakes 21-3 to retain bragging rights in the annual ‘Butter Bowl.’

PASCO COUNTY RESULTS: SUNLAKE 21, LAND O’ LAKES 3 RECAP: The “Butter Bowl” was once again a one-sided affair as the Sunlake Seahawks defeated the Land O’ Lakes Gators 21-3, marking the Seahawks fifth straight regular season win over the Gators. Equipped with a 7-3 halftime lead, Sunlake (3-1) pulled away from the Gators (0-3) with touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters.

KEY STATS: The Seahawks racked up 539 all-purpose yards compared to the Gators’ 187 yards. Additionally, Seahawks had two 100-yard rushers in seniors Justin Metzger (124 yards) and Kevis Warren (111 yards, 1 TD), and a 100-yard receiver in senior Tyler Peretti (7 receptions, 142 yards).

NEXT UP: Sunlake has a home game against Lakewood Ranch (0-3) on Sept. 23; Land O’ Lakes has a bye before facing Lakeland Christian (4-0) on Sept. 30.

ZEPHYRHILLS 62, GULF 0 RECAP: The first year of the Nick

Carroll Era is going swimmingly for the Zephyrhills Bulldogs, as the first-year head coach guided his team to a 62-0 pounding over Gulf High.The Bulldogs (2-1) led 47-0 at the half, before a running clock was put into effect for the entirety of the second half.The win follows the Bulldogs’ surprising win over Sunlake (27-15) on Sept. 3.

KEY STATS: Bulldogs junior quarterback Charles Harrison III completed 10 of 14 passes for 117 yards and four touchdowns.

Defensively, Bulldogs freshman linebacker Ja’varrius Wilson tallied up three sacks.

NEXT UP: Zephyrhills travels to Fivay (03) on Sept. 23.

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY RESULTS: GAITHER 19, WHARTON 7 RECAP: Buoyed by the punishing running style of senior tailback T.J. Williams, the Gaither Cowboys (2-2) notched a home win against the Wharton Wildcats (1-2), snapping a two-game losing streak. The Cowboys never trailed, getting on the scoreboard first T.J. Wiliams thanks to a 15-yard TD run by Williams in the second quarter.

KEY STATS: Williams scored three times—including a highlight-reel 89-yard reception—en route to 124 total yards on 10 touches.

NEXT UP: Gaither travels to Sickles on Sept. 23; Wharton has a home matchup against Freedom on Sept. 23.

WESLEY CHAPEL 42, RIDGEWOOD 22 RECAP: Under first-year coach Anthony Egan, the Wesley Chapel Wildcats (3-0) already has more wins than it did in each of the last two seasons. Despite looking sloppy with penalties early on, the Wildcats shored up their miscues to build a 29-8 lead at halftime. In the second half, the game was put out of reach underneath the speedy legs of junior tailbacks Dexter Leverett (224 yards,

FREEDOM 3, SPOTO 0 RECAP: A 39-yard boot in the second quarter by Freedom’s Noah Tenney was the lone score in this defensive tug-of-war.

Freedom’s defense stymied Spoto, holding them to 178 total yards, including just a single passing yard. Freedom (2-1) has looked solid defensively for two consecutive weeks after limiting Alonso High to just eight points on Sept. 9.

KEY STATS: The Patriots forced four turnovers, including two fumble recoveries by senior Carlos Rodicio.

NEXT UP: Freedom has a road conference game against Wharton on Sept. 23.

SARASOTA RIVERVIEW 20, STEINBRENNER 19 RECAP: Key mistakes and missed opportunities, in part, caused the Warriors to fall short in this non-conference road game. The Warriors (1-2) led Sarasota Riverview 19-6 at the half, but a bevy of turnovers and three-and-outs gave Riverview ample field position to orchestrate two impressive scoring drives in the second half.

KEY STATS: Steinbrenner’s Josh Harris rushed for 102 yards on 24 carries, but also fumbled three times. Senior wideout Brett Bitter hauled in two TD catches.

NEXT UP: Steinbrenner faces Tampa Riverview (2-1) at home on Sept. 23.

SEFFNER CHRISTIAN 27, CARROLLWOOD DAY 6 RECAP: With the score 7-6 after the first quarter, the game was in reach for Carrollwood Day. But, the Patriots (1-3) were unable to answer as Seffner Christian scored touchdowns in each of the following three quarters. The Patriots (1-3) have now lost three straight games, scoring just 13 combined points in the process.

KEY STATS: The Patriots struggled defensively, allowing over 423 total yards of offense (217 passing, 206 yards rushing). In their last three games, the Patriots have been outscored by a 118-to-13 margin.

NEXT UP: The Patriots have a bye before facing Northside Christian (3-1) on the road on Sept. 30.

HELPING HAND COURTESY OF SAINT LEO ATHLETICS

Saint Leo’s Colett Rampf has won nine SSC (Sunshine State Conference) Runner of the Week awards in three seasons.

The Steinbrenner High softball team — along with the assistance of Steinbrenner head coach Brenda Leach — hosted an instruction clinic for the Lutz Leaguerettes recreational softball league on Sept. 9. The Leaguerettes are currently in their inaugural fast pitch season for girls from ages 5 to 18.

GRANT NAMED SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

SAINT LEO RUNNERS EARN WEEKLY HONORS A pair of Saint Leo cross-country runners recently earned Sunshine State Conference (SSC) Runner of the Week honors.

Saint Leo men’s cross-country runner Ron Chesarek, and women’s runner Colett Rampf, were each awarded for their performances for the week ending Sept. 11.

Fly-in features model Golden Era airplanes

By B.C. Manion

embers of the Bay City Flyers and their spectators enjoyed sunny and warm weather during the club’s annual Golden Era fly-in on Sept. 10, at the flying field in Land O’ Lakes.

Members of the club took to the sky with their radio control scale models of full-size aircraft that was active from 1919 to 1939.

Club members are obviously passionate about their pastime, based on the meticulous attention to detail they pay to the radio control model airplanes they operate.

Bay City Flyers is a club that is sanctioned by the Academy of Model Aeronautics.

The flying cub operates a flying field it affectionately calls Area 52.

The field is about 8 miles north of Land O’ Lakes.

Bay City Flyers is one of the largest radio control flying clubs in Florida. It caters to all types of flying models, including scale and aerobatic airplanes, helicopters JOSEPH SPENA/PHOTOS and multi-rotor aircraft.

Members of the Bay City Flyers, one of the largest radio control flying clubs in Florida, command their aircraft during the Golden Era Fly-in event.

The club does not allow turbine-powered jets, but does permit electric ducted fan jets, according to the meetings and relaxed lunches, while observclub’s website. ing models flying nearby.

Two brothers from Hudson, Jett and James Strahan who are ages 3 and 6, appear to be enjoying the air show. The event was open to all, and people of all ages appeared to be having fun watching the planes.

Edward Pasick, of Windermere, gets his PT-19 ready for takeoff. It took Pasick about 120 hours to build his airplane, which he did completely by hand.

Mark Mattalina, of New Port Richey, gets ready to send off his one-third scale Sopwith Camel aircraft. The Sopwith Camel was a British, World War I single-seat biplane fighter aircraft, first introduced on the Western Front in 1917. Manufactured by the Sopwith Aviation Company, it used a rotary engine, and had twin synchronized machine guns.

In most cases, a uniquely crafted model pilot mans the model airplane’s controls, adding to an even greater sense of realism to the already meticulously detailed airplanes.

A Boeing-Stearman Model 75 achieves liftoff at the Bay City Flyer event.

This Biplane was used as a trainer by the United States Army Air Forces, the United States Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force throughout World War ll.

PET of the WEEK

Drake needed extra loving care Drake is a ginger tabby cat who is almost 3 years old. He had a very bumpy start. Drake was fostered from a local shelter, and had several bacterial infections and a very bad upper respiratory infection. With lots of medicine, he got better. But, when the coughing and sneezing kept coming back, Drake was diagnosed with FHV-1 (feline herpes). There is no cure, but symptoms can be treated. The Keiths fell in love with Drake and adopted him so he could have a stress-free environment and receive extra care.

Drake bonded quickly with their older dog, Buddy, who was recently put down. Drake was very depressed for several weeks, but has bonded a little more with the Keiths’ other dog, Reese. Both like to sit on the window seat and soak in the sun. However, Drake can often be found sitting by Buddy's picture. Drake’s proud owners are Karen and Scott Keith of Land O’ Lakes.

Harley needs patience and love Meet Harley. She is here because her owner and best friend passed away. Harley is a little scared and timid right now, but she does warm up to you once she trusts you. This pretty, blue-eyed girl is approximately 4 years old. Harley loves toys, can play catch like a pro and walks nicely on a leash. With a little patience and love, she will be a very loyal companion and friend. If you would like to meet Harley, she is waiting.

ANIMAL ABUSE REGISTRY ORDINANCE APPROVED The Hillsborough County Commission has approved the creation of the Hillsborough County Animal Abuser Registry, to help prevent individuals convicted of animal abuse from adopting or acquiring animals.

The ordinance requires registration of individuals who have been convicted of certain misdemeanor and/or felony animal abuse offenses in Hillsborough County.

Convicted offenders may not own, possess, live in the same home or on the same property, or work with a service animal unless otherwise provided in a court order.

If a pet is adopted, pet retailers and shelters must require the person to sign an affidavit attesting that he or she is not listed on the registry.

The registry will contain the names, residence, photo and other related information of abusers living in the county who are convicted of an abuse offense on or after Nov. 1, 2016, the effective date of the ordinance.
