Getting up close and personal with potters By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

If you’re curious about the art of pottery, you can satisfy your desire for knowledge during the 2015 Tampa Bay Tour de Clay. This is the eighth Tour de Clay, which is always held during the second weekend in December. It’s an event that gives visitors a chance to see potters in action at four pottery studios and the opportunity to experience a kiln opening at each. “It creates a situation where people can come in and talk to the artist,” said Jack Boyle of San Antonio Pottery, owner of one of the studios on the tour. All four of the studios are hosting their kiln opening on Dec. 12. The first kiln opening is at 9 a.m., at Pottery Boys Studio, 30 Bogie Lane in Palm Harbor. The next opening is at noon at Hidden Lake Pottery, 16705 Hutchison Road in Odessa. Then, there will be an opening at 2 p.m., at Wellman & Welsch Pottery, 17202 Whirley Road in Lutz. And, finally, there will be a 4 p.m. opening at San Antonio Pottery in San Antonio, at 11903 Curley Street. “It is rare that people get a chance to see PHOTOS COURTESY OF TOUR DE CLAY a kiln opening,” said Glenn Woods of Pottery Glenn Woods demonstrates the skill involved in carving work on a piece of pottery.

Hanukkah makes use of a menorah to light candles in observance of the ‘Festival of Lights.’ According to Mitchell Weiss from Congregation Kol Ami, they can be simple, elaborate, decorative or even homemade. See a list of Hanukkah events on page 13A.

Most people don’t know a lot about Hanukkah. They know it’s a Jewish holiday. They know that there are candles, and that it goes on for several days. They know it involves presents and usually occurs around Christmas. But, it’s a lot more than that, said Mitchell Weiss, executive director for Congregation Kol Ami. “It’s a story of miracle. It’s a story of survival,” he said. It’s a story that dates back many centuries, when the Maccabees reclaimed a temple that had been defiled by the Syrian Greeks in Jerusalem. There was only one jar of oil, enough to keep the lamps lit for one day. Instead, the oil lasted for eight days, which was enough time to replenish the oil. This event was hailed as a miracle, and Hanukkah, which can be spelled different ways, is celebrated as the “Festival of Lights.” Jews acknowledge the holiday by lighting a menorah (a candelabrum, also called a Hanukkiah) for eight nights, adding a candle each day until all eight, plus a head See HANUKKAH, page13A

A couple of cows graze on land that is proposed for future residential and commercial development near Tampa Premium Outlets and behind Walgreen’s drugstore, off State Road 54.

More development proposed near Tampa Premium Outlets By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Another residential and commercial project is proposed for development on the State Road 54/State Road 56 corridor, near Tampa Premium Outlets and the Cypress Creek Town Center. Pasco County planners are reviewing a zoning request for about 32 acres owned by Highway 54/56 LLC. The sale of the property is pending approval of the project. Lutz businessman Carl Anderson is the company’s manager, according to state records. The site — named Brightwork Crossing — is north of State Road 54 and State Road 56, and west of County Road 54, also known as Wesley Chapel Boulevard. The site is behind the Walgreen’s drugstore and nearby gas station, on both sides of Old State Road 54. The proposal from Tampa-based Brightwork Real Estate is to build a 100-

room hotel and up to 115,000 square feet of retail on about 14 acres on the east side of the site. Up to 350 apartments are planned on about 13 acres on the west side of the site.The plan also includes open space. About 1½ acres would be added to the county’s critical linkage pathways to preserve natural resources and wildlife. In return, developers are seeking a land swap and for the county to vacate a section of Old State Road 54, which bisects the site and is a cut-through for motorists navigating State Road 54 and Wesley Chapel Boulevard. A neighborhood park would be built as an amenity within the apartment complex. There also would be a park-and-ride facility with 100 parking spaces and a bus transit stop. No dates are scheduled yet for either a recommendation from the county’s Development Review Committee, or for a public hearing before the Pasco County Commission.

What began as a mission to document the conditions in Trilby and neighboring Lacoochee turned into a labor of love for local photographer Richard K. Riley.

The works are on display at Pasco-Hernando State College’s East Campus, at 36727 Blanton Road, in the RICHARD K. RILEY PHOTOS lobby of the Charles E. Pine Stand at Sunset Conger Library.

The East Madison Growers Association had a ribbon cutting to celebrate the opening of the new Grand Gardens in New Port Richey. Working in collaboration with the property owners, the project includes individual gardening plots available to anyone for a modest donation and a commitment to assist the project while learning how to grow vegetables.. There also was a ladybug release and an inaugural address. Travis Morehead, left, speaks to guests from the centerpiece — an herb garden fashioned using 100-year-old bricks from road repairs a few years ago. Grand Gardens is located at 5721 Grand Blvd., and now has plots available to residents for planting their own vegetables For information, call Morehead at (727) 271-2333.

HELP KEEP SENIORS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL As flu season begins, the risk of area seniors being hospitalized increases significantly. According to a study conducted of nurses who primarily work with seniors, almost half of all senior hospitalizations (49 percent) can be avoided with proper prevention. Families play a key role in keeping seniors out of the hospital. The most common action putting seniors at risk for hospitalization is waiting too long to seek medical attention. To help families identify and act on potential warning signs, Home Instead Senior Care is offering a free “The Five Ways to Prevent Senior Hospitalizations” guide. Recommendations include getting flu shots and shingles vaccines; using assistive equipment; monitoring and assisting with medications; attending doctor’s visits, and more. To get a free copy of the guide, call (813) 991-7524.

OVERPASS, from page 1A before settling on the design and type of improvements for the intersection.The study’s completion date is spring 2016. Area business owners and the Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce had hoped for additional opportunities to discuss the matter. On Oct. 30, the chamber sent a letter to the state agency requesting a public workshop. Pasco County Commissioner Mike Moore also brought up the request at a Nov. 12 meeting of the county’s Metropolitan Planning Organization. State transportation officials were at that meeting to present the 2015 priority list for county road projects. However, they said the public hearing is the only meeting on the schedule. “Sometimes with workshops you have more time to discuss an issue than at a public hearing,” said Elayne Bassinger, president of the Central Pasco Chamber. And, area business owners, she said,“want an opportunity to speak.” No one doubts that improvements are needed at the heavily travelled intersection. According to the state transportation department, the intersection’s crash rate is higher than the state average. About 99,000 vehicles per day travel through the intersection, but by 2040, state highway officials predict an estimated 208,000 vehicles per day. Both highways are part of the county’s evacuation route, and they also are regional roadways for trucks that deliver goods to and from Tampa International Airport, Port Tampa Bay and Port Manatee. One alternative would cost about $160 million in total, including about $91 million

POTTERS, from page 1A “Passport to Pottery” tour guide at each studio location, or download it from the event’s website at TampaTourDeClay.com. As they make their way from studio to studio, they have their passport stamped. Those completing the tour are eligible for prizes. Every stop on the Tour de Clay allows visitors to: • Watch artists work in their studios • See pottery made by hand or by wheel • Learn about the many types of kilns and firing techniques • See examples of glazes and finishes for finely crafted decorative pieces, as well as functional vessels and dinnerware. Participating artists are: • Pottery Boys Studios: Jennifer McCurdy, Fong Choo, Zan Barnes,Teresa Testa, and studio owners, Glenn Woods and Keith Herbrand. • Hidden Lake Pottery: Jonathan Barnes, Chuck McGee, LC McGee, McKenzie Smith, and studio owners, Kim Kirchman and Mark Fehl. • Wellman & Welsch Pottery: Kimberli Cummings, John Kellum, Laurie Landry, Katherine Mathisen, Charlie Parker, Matt

HANUKKAH, from page 1A candle, are lit together. There are other traditions as well. A spinning top called a dreidel is used to play a game, often with gelt, which are coin-shaped chocolates. Serving latkes, which are potato pancakes, is another tradition. There are songs and melodies, prayers and a recounting of the miracle, as well. The sharing of those activities is what makes Hanukkah special,Weiss explained. “It’s all about the story, it’s all about remembering,” he said. Weiss, now 58 and living in Wesley Chapel, has his own memories of Hanukkah. He grew up in Edison, New Jersey, in an area with a large Jewish community. So large, in fact, it was nicknamed “Hanukkah Hill.” Some of his fondest memories include when his grandmother (who was a Holocaust survivor) would make latkes. Hers were a bit different, being made with squash instead of potatoes. He also remembers using a special menorah that he made with his father and brother when he was 10. Even though those celebrations occurred decades ago, the traditions survive in his family. He still has his grandmother’s recipe, and the Weiss’ enjoy squash latkes each year. And, the menorah he used as a child still resides in his parents’ home. Seeing it brings back special memories, he said. It’s not unusual for adults to rekindle fond memories of Hanukkah from their own youth,Weiss said. Kol Ami has a special Hanukkah celebration each year that’s open to the public, on the third night of the holiday. While it’s a time for celebration, it also conjures up a bit of nostalgia. “We have a lot of seniors here that, in their past when they had their holidays, they remember the good times with their parents,”Weiss explained.“When we have the candle-lighting ceremony, sometimes there are tears, because they remember how good it was when they had Hanukkah.” Today, children still have it pretty good, with presents usually opened on each of

for more than 70 acres of rights of way. More than 40 parcels, including existing businesses at the intersection, would be affected. About 24 businesses could be relocated, according to state transportation data. The new interchange would provide four through lanes on U.S. 41 in each direction, two through lanes at-grade and two elevated lanes on State Road 54. The other alternative would cost about $180 million in total, including about $50 million for nearly 30 acres of rights of way. About 20 parcels would be involved, but only six businesses would be relocated, according to state data. Under this option, no additional lanes would be added to U.S. 41, and turn lanes would not change. There would be two through lanes at-grade and two elevated through lanes on State Road 54. Draft documents describing the project are available to the public through Dec. 21 at the Land O’ Lakes Branch Library, at 2818 Collier Parkway in Land O’ Lakes.They also can be viewed at the state transportation department’s District Seven office at 11201 N. McKinley Drive in Tampa. Statements, and exhibits and oral comments, will be accepted at the hearing. Also, all exhibits or statements must be postmarked or emailed no later than Dec. 21 to be part of the official public hearing record. A court reporter also will be available at the hearing for one-on-one comments. Send statements to Kirk Bogen, Environmental Management Engineer, FDOT, District Seven, 11201 N. McKinley Drive MS 7-500,Tampa, FL 33621-6456. For information, contact Stephanie Pierce, FDOT project manager, at (813) 9756445 or Stephanie.pierce@dot.state.fl.us.

PHSC volleyball reaches national tournament, again By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

The Pasco-Hernando State College Lady Quistas always participate in their regional tournament under head coach Kim Whitney. In her 12 years at the helm, they’ve never failed to qualify with a .500 or better record. But, they don’t always win their region and qualify for the NJCAA Division II national tournament. Whitney’s teams had done it five times. And after a 1-3 start, and eventually a 5-4 mark, this year’s team didn’t look like the kind of squad that would make it six national appearances. But,Whitney knew better. “If they don’t see that tough competition, then it’s not going to really help them understand where they need to be,” she said about the early part of the season. The coach deliberately scheduled challenging opponents right off the bat, in order to provide good tests and get a feel for where they stood against skilled teams. Taking some early losses can drive a team to work as a group and improve,Whitney said. And, that’s what happened with the Lady Quistas. After coming out of those early contests with a few wins and plenty of determination, they ramped things up as the season wore on. The squad went on a five-match winning streak. It won 11 of their final 16 regular-season matches and easily qualified for its tournament. The early season challenges paid off for the team in North Carolina, site of their regional tournament for District P. They knocked off Brunswick, Cape Fear and Catawba Valley without dropping a single set, and breezed into the national tournament for the second straight year. “We were really at the moment in our season where we were peaking,” Whitney said. Then, it was on to Arizona for the national tournament. The Lady Quistas played

experience, which is important as they take on leadership roles next season. Players also showed their coach that they weren’t going down without a fight. “They still fought through, and they pushed themselves to win that next match,” Whitney said. Next season’s matches will feature new players, as they do every year. As a two-year college, athlete turnover is a regular part of the game. But, with some talented players returning next season, the Lady Quistas will build around a nucleus of experienced athletes. Whitney mentioned Nadine Mattmann and Danielle Christian as a pair of defensive standouts who will be part of the school’s run for a third-straight national tournament appearance. She also credited her assistant, Brian Kachurak, for running things in the early part of the season while she was on maternity leave.

From ‘mud’ to beauty — one man’s labor of love By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Jack Boyle has been turning lumps of clay into works of art for the better part of his life. His first encounter with pottery came when he was just a little boy. “My mother’s brother, Uncle Al – he and his partner owned Jug Town Pottery, up in Seagrove, North Carolina, in the midst of about 120 potteries. “As a child, I would go there. I would make little bowls,” he said. Then his uncle would fire the pots and ship them to Boyle’s house, where they’d be used as ashtrays by Boyle’s mom. The San Antonio man said he isn’t sure if those early experiences helped to mold him into the potter he became. But then again, he said, maybe they did. Boyle has spent the past 44 years creating art from clay. He began dabbling in ceramic sculptural work before arriving at the University of South Florida in 1972. When he walked into the pottery studio there, and saw the teacher working at the wheel, he was instantly enamored. FRED BELLET/PHOTOS “Part of it was that old clay smell,” Boyle Jack Boyle has been creating pottery and teaching students at San Antonio Pottery, on Curley Street, for decades. said. “The thing about pottery is that it is so incredibly challenging,” Boyle said. “When you see me centering clay, you’re going to think, ‘Oh, piece of cake, I can do that.’ ” That assumption would be wrong, he said. “I cannot stress to you how difficult it is to get any level of expertise in pottery making,” Boyle said. “There’s a thousand things that go into making a successful pot. “When you first start out, it’s anything but beautiful. “There’s no such thing as a shortcut in learning how to make pottery. You can’t read a book about it to be a better potter. You’ve got to put the time in,” San Antonio Pottery, at 11903 Curley St., is an area landmark. Boyle said. Every part of the craft has its own set of demands, he explained. “The first thing you do with clay, is you wedge it up – which is the process of homogenizing particles in the clay body as well as For decades, Jack Boyle has traveled to arts and crafts shows eliminating any air bubbles near and far.

PET of the WEEK

Prancer loved the car and camping Prancer was a birthday gift from my son, John, and was 1.5 pounds when I got him. We fell in love with him, and he was the best pet in the whole world. He made us so happy because he loved his family. We are so thankful we had Prancer for many years — he was 12 years old. I wanted to share a Christmas photo, where he sat so we could take pictures even though he didn't like being dressed up. We love him and miss him very much. Prancer was part of the Doreen and Carl Kidd family of Land O’ Lakes.

“She Kept Me Off The Operating Table”

Grace Rickershasuer with Peggy Boyd, LMT, CSET, CCSI

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 therapies, I no longer needed surgery and was on the way to a pain free life. It’s been six years and I’m still pain free. For me, Peggy has been a miracle worker,” says Grace.
