Pasco administrator to retire in 2017 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

Michele Baker

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 master 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, including an assistant county administrator for 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. She also served in the U.S.Air Force Reserve. Her undergraduate degree was in business administration. It wasn’t until she accepted a secretarial See RETIRE, page 11A

Kumquats reign supreme at area festival By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

The first kumquat tree in St. Joseph took root more than 100 years ago, when C.J. Nathe planted it in his backyard. He added a few more, and soon he had a small grove on an acre of fertile ground. The kumquat king, as Nathe was later dubbed, transformed a quiet back road community into the Kumquat Capital of the World. An open house will take place on Jan. 28 and Jan. 29 at the Kumquat Growers packinghouse and gift shop. The 19th annual Kumquat Festival is set for Jan. 30 in downtown Dade City. More than 40,000 people are expected to stroll through the historic town square during the festival, which will feature more than 425 vendor booths.There will be arts and crafts, a car and truck show, a health and wellness area, live entertainment, a farmer’s market, the Kumquat Kids Corral, a quilt challenge, and kumquats in pies, cakes, salsas, jams, jellies and chutneys. No one imagined nearly two decades ago the drawing power of a tiny citrus fruit from Asia, sweet on the outside and tart on the inside. “The biggest thing that made it a success was people didn’t know what a kumquat was.There was the curiosity of it,” said Frank

Margie Neuhofer and her husband Joseph Neuhofer are among founding growers of Kumquat Growers Inc. Neuhofer manages the gift shop. She and Frank Gude show off kumquat products sold at the shop.

Gude, president and founding partner in Kumquat Growers Inc., the country’s largest producer and shipper of kumquats, and kumquat products. Phyllis Smith, Roxanne Barthle and Carlene Ellberg organized the first festival on the lawn of Dade City’s historic courthouse with only a few vendors. “We started slow, and then it built,” said Gude. Gude’s family traces its history with kumquat farming to those early plantings decades ago. The Gudes were one of five original growers who founded the packing cooperative in the early 1970s. Others were Charles

Barthle, Joseph and Paul Neuhofer and Fred Heidgerken. But, kumquat groves dotted the rural landscape for decades before then. “Every family out here had a little block of kumquats,” said Gude. It didn’t take much to produce an abundant crop.“Depending on how many kids they had (to do the picking), they could have enough to ship kumquats (up north).” Nathe gets historical credit for starting it all. The Michigan native had been an employee of nearby Jessamine Gardens nursery See KUMQUATS, page 11A

They haven’t had many big gigs yet, but the band that calls itself Beyond Chaotic hopes that will change soon. In fact, the six-member band is planning to travel to Orlando next month to audition for “America’s Got Talent.” Band members say they know it’s a big stage, and they admit they’re a bit nervous, but they want to go for it. After all, they’re trying to build their fan base. That sounds like a lot of the acts that appear on the popular television program. But, Beyond Chaotic is not exactly a typical band. It’s a rock group, and its six members are all age 12 or younger. The members are Max Karafilis and his sister, Alex; Colin Mendoza and his sister, Kayla; Devon Bilek and Dominic Fusco. They live in Land O’ Lakes and Wesley Chapel. Two are homeschooled, two go to Seven Oaks Elementary, one attends Lutz Preparatory School, and the other attends John Long Middle School. All of them love music, and they’re willing to work hard to improve their musical chops. Max is the band’s lead singer.Alex plays violin and keyboard, and sings, mostly backup, too. Devon is the bass player. Dominic plays leader guitar. Colin is the drummer, and Kayla is on keyboard. Five of the band members met during the Bigel Music Rock Band Camp last summer. They’ve all been playing instruments longer, and they practice together two to three times a week — in addition to their private lessons. Like many bands, they’ve already had

one player drop out. She had a conflict with church and Sunday school. Colin’s sister stepped up to fill the gap, because the 8-year-old has been playing keyboard since she was around 4. So far, their biggest crowd was during shows they played at The Shops at Wiregrass during the holidays. They played three sets, of 40 minutes each, to hundreds of people, according to Cindy Karafilis, Max and Alex’s mom. They have a play list of roughly 20 songs, ranging from “The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy to “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragon to “Seven Nation Army” by White Stripes. They’re also beginning to write their own music. Being in a band has its demands and its rewards, they said. “It’s hard, but it’s fun,” said Alex, who handles the vocals. Twelve-year-old Devon put it like this:“It makes me feel accomplished that I can play music really well, when I hear the crowd getting excited when we’re playing.” They may be young, but they have big dreams. Alex wants to go on tour and wouldn’t mind getting a record deal. Devon wants to build the band’s fan base. Max wants to play a bigger venue, so more people can see them and spread the word about the band. They have some gigs lined up. They’re on the schedule for Feb. 5 at the Carrollwood Cultural Center, they’ll do a few numbers at the Valentine’s Dance at Seven Oaks Elementary School, and they’re scheduled to play April 16 at Journey for a Cure 5k at Al Lopez Park to benefit St. Joseph’s Children Hospital.

Finding hope, in the heart of darkness By B.C. Manion

10 Tips Real Estate Agents Don't Want You to Know WESLEY CHAPEL - If you've tried to sell your home yourself, you know that the minute you put the "For Sale by Owner" sign up, the phone will start to ring off the hook. Unfortunately, most calls aren't from prospective buyers, but rather from every real estate agent in town who will start to hound you for your listing. Like other "For Sale by Owners", you'll be subjected to a hundred sales pitches from agents who will tell you how great they are and how you can't possibly sell your home by yourself. After all, without the proper information, selling a home isn't easy. Perhaps you've had your home on the market for several months with no offers from qualified buyers. This can be a very frustrating time, and many homeowners have given up their dreams of selling their homes themselves. But don't give up

Immaculee Ilibagiza boards an airplane nearly every week to travel to a speaking engagement, where she shares her message of hope and forgiveness. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the primary theme of her book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust.â&#x20AC;? Ilibagiza grew up in a small village of Rwanda and had been attending the National University of Rwanda to study electrical and mechanical engineering, when she came home during an Easter break. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the April 1994 assassination of the Hutu president sparked months of massacres of Tutsi tribe members throughout the country. To spare his daughter from rape and murder, Ilibagizaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father told her to run to the home of a Hutu pastor, who was a family friend. The pastor hid Ilibagiza and seven other women in a 3-foot-by-4-foot bathroom for 91 days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My faith was crushed and challenged, when I was in that bathroom,â&#x20AC;? said Ilibagiza, who will be giving two talks at St.Timothy Catholic Church in Lutz this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing out there. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m dying and life is over, and how can this be?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any tiny noise could have been the end of our life,â&#x20AC;? Ilibagiza said. The Hutu killers heard that some Tutsi women had been seen near the pastorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, so they stormed in and searched through it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They went in the ceiling of that house. In the roof of the house. Under the beds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every reasonable thing said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over,â&#x20AC;? Ilibagiza said. She held onto the rosary her father had given her, and had her Bible, too. As she feared for her life, she prayed God:â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything beyond this, please give me a sign. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let them find the door, just today, in this house.â&#x20AC;? In a 60 Minutes interview, the pastor said the intruders put his hand on the doorknob to the bathroom, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn it. Ilibagiza recalls that moment:â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are literally counting, on the grace of God, for them not to open that door,â&#x20AC;? she said. She believes they were saved by Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace. When she went into hiding, she weighed 115 pounds. When she emerged, she weighed 65.â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were like bones,â&#x20AC;? she said. When she was able to escape, she learned that her family, with the exception of a brother who was abroad studying, had been murdered. She said the faith that she discovered through prayer during her ordeal, enabled her to let go of the anger, resentment and hate, and to instead feel hope, forgiveness and peace. She emigrated to the United States in 1998 and shared her story with some coworkers at the United Nations, who encouraged her to write it down, she said. Just a few days later after she finished writing her story, she said she met internationally known Wayne Dyer at a conference and book signing.

She wants to encourage people to get closer to Mary, the mother of Jesus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talk to her as a mother,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Neonatal services now available in Pasco By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

The Medical Center of Trinity has opened a neonatal intensive care unit, providing a service that previously was unavailable in Pasco County. The $7 million project is an expansion of the existing obstetrics program at the hospital, at 9330 State Road 54, in Trinity. The unit, which opened on Jan. 4, is commonly called a NICU. It serves a market area including Pasco and Hernando counties, and the northern portions of Pinellas and Hillsborough counties. The 4,718-square-foot NICU offers advanced levels of care for babies born as early as 32 weeks and weighing at least 1,500 grams. The project is the latest addition to Medical Center of Trinity, which opened four years ago. “As this facility was being planned, all along it was contemplated to add neonatal intensive care unit services,” said Hospital CEO Leigh Massengill. Even before the resurgence of residential growth along the State Road 54 corridor, and the young families that will come along with it, the hospital saw the need for the services, she said. The hospital saw how many infants and mothers had to be transferred out of the facility for a higher level of care, and it knew it could create a safer and more satisfying visit, if it could manage those services inhouse, she said. “Sometimes pregnant women would come in at 32 weeks, and they weren’t in active labor, but they required in hospital services, and we had to transfer them out because delivery could occur at any time,” Massengill said. In the past, if a baby arrived at around 32 weeks, it was better for it to be in a facility where the care the baby needed could be immediately provided, said Lynn Smith, neonatal services manager.“The sooner you can get them to definitive care, the better,” Smith said. Before, Massengill said, the baby had to be transported, which was not ideal.

Leigh Massengill, CEO of Medical Center of Trinity, left, stands with Cheryl Sherrill and Lynn Smith in the new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the hospital. Sherrill is the hospital’s director of women’s and neonatal services, and Lynn Smith is neonatal services manager.

“It really kind of breaks your heart when you take a newborn baby and pack him up in this scary-looking transporter, and stick him on a helicopter to go flying off to another county, and leaving mother and family, and the rest of the extended family behind, worrying,” she said. Now, the CEO said,“they either go one way, to the newborn nursery, or they come in for more intensive care.” Cheryl Sherrill, director of women’s and neonatal services said: “It is a wonderful service to the community, to keep these families together.” The new NICU expansion includes 12 Level II NICU beds and an overnight room for families transitioning to taking their babies home. “We understand, that for us, the birth experience is an event. It’s not like acute care. People have been planning this event for a very long time, and we want to make sure we do everything we can to make this a special event for them,” Sherrill said.

“When sometimes things happen, and babies come a little bit earlier than they were planning on, then, that’s why we have this beautiful NICU down here,” Sherrill said. The hospital has a relationship with All Children’s Specialty Physicians from All Children’s Hospital, who are providing neonatology services, Massengill said. “So, they’re always on call to support us. They’re in the facility on a daily basis.They take care of our babies.They interface with the families, with the pediatricians, with the obstetricians, to make sure those babies get the best care possible,” she said. When there’s enough notice, Sherrill said,“We get the neonatology team involved and the NICU charge nurse, and we start that relationship from when the mom is hospitalized. “The neonatologists work with the OBs (obstetricians) for the best plan of care, of when to deliver this baby, so we can be prepared, and the team and the family is

comfortable, already knowing kind of what’s going to happen at the time of delivery. So, it doesn’t become such an emergent event when it happens,” Sherrill added. The center uses a family centered approach to care. “We want to make sure that the family is included in everything,” Sherrill said. Along those lines, the hospital has extended visiting hours.Two approved visitors are allowed at bedside at all hours, except for 6:30 a.m. to 8 a.m., and 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. “We want the family to be here more often than not, because we know that with giving family centered care, they are an important team member in promoting this baby’s growth and wellness,” Sherrill said. She’s excited about the hospital’s new services. “I came here specifically for this project,” said Sherrill, noting she moved to the area from Austin,Texas. The hospital pulls together numerous services that will help premature babies and their families, Sherrill said. “We have our own speech pathologist, we have our own dietitians, we have our own NICU pharmacists, so we have a lot of support services that you traditionally find in much larger facilities,” Sherrill said. The hospital also has a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to NICU babies and families, and a family centered care committee. It has educational opportunities for parents and siblings, too. In addition to its relationship with All Children’s neonatologists, the hospital has registered nurses who are experienced in neonatal intensive care. By choosing to use a family centered model, the hospital puts the mom in contact with her baby as much as possible, Sherrill said. “We let the baby tell us what they’re ready for, then us trying to make the baby be ready for,” Sherrill added. The hospital also works with All Children’s network of providers to help families plug into care in the community after they leave the hospital, helping families to make a smooth transition once they go home, Sherrill said.

Poet and human rights advocate Carolyn Forche learned a lot about life and language from her paternal grandmother,Anna, an immigrant from the former Czechoslovakia. Her grandmother spoke five languages, said Forche, but her English was inventive. She described a colander as “macaroni stop water go head.” Forche paid attention. “I thought, ‘Oh, you can play with language, make things up.’ It helped with my writing,” she said. The poet was a scribe at an early age, composing her first poem at age 9. She didn’t write her first serious poem until she was 20. Her grandmother and relationships among family and friends often are reflected in her poetry. But, it was a second book of poems, drawing on her experiences in war-torn El Salvador in the 1980s, that first brought her renown. “The Country Between Us” became a national bestseller, a rare occurrence for a book of poetry. During her long career, Forche has garnered acclaim as a poet, a translator and a human rights advocate. She gave a reading from her works on Jan. 21 for about 100 people at the Student Community Center at Saint Leo University. The university’s Daniel A. Cannon Memorial Library sponsored the event. Forche currently is working on a new book of poetry, and a memoir about her personal experiences in El Salvador, Lebanon, South Africa and France. Some of her poems are about witnesses or victims of the brutality suffered during wars, torture and imprisonment. In her poem, “The Colonel,” she describes an encounter with a Salvadoran colonel who angrily dumps a bag of severed human ears onto a table – his trophies from people put to death during the civil war that began in the late 1970s. Forche dedicated that poem to Oscar Romero, the Catholic priest who was assassinated during the Salvadoran civil war. One week before his death, he helped Forche get safely out of the country. Forche had gone there on a Guggenheim fellowship, as an observer for Amnesty International. She helped in efforts to find out what happened to people who had “disappeared” or who were imprisoned. Some observers, she said, would go to “body dumps” to match faces of the dead

with photos. She recounted her visit to try and map the interior of a prison by visiting a prisoner she pretended to know. She has been called at times a political poet, but Forche doesn’t accept that label. Instead, she describes what she writes as a “poetry of witness,” regardless of whether the subject is political or not. Her themes are personal ones reflecting on how events, memories or relationships shape and give context to how people live. “I’ve never been a political person. I’ve never been in a political organization,” she said.“I think artists and writers tend to be too weird for political organizations.” Responding to a question about how to make the world better, Forche said people can learn a skill that people need. Doctors without Borders, for example, might need a dental hygienist. Volunteer service in the community can help, too. “Get a project,” she said.“Look at a small problem and solve it.” Marketing student Amanda Topper, 19, asked about Forche’s creative process. Forche said the creative process isn’t easy to define. She does keep a moleskin notebook handy. “I’m writing in it all the time.” Inspiration can’t be forced, she said, noting she doesn’t choose a subject and then start writing. “If you overthink it, you can screw up your inspiration,” she said.“But, you do have to sit down and work, even if you aren’t inspired,” Forche said. The poet said she does at least 20 minutes a day of free writing. While she read her poems with assurance, Forche said reading for an audience took practice. “I’ve always been terrified of standing up and giving poetry readings,” she said.“I was a shy kid. I learned to do this. It wasn’t natural to me.” Her poetry books include “The Angel of History,” “The Country Between Us” and “The Blue Hour.” She also edited two anthologies,“Against Forgetting: Twentieth Century Poetry of Witness” and “Poetry of Witness: The Tradition in English, 1500-2001.” Her translations include the late Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish’s “Unfortunately, It Was Paradise: Selected Poems,” and Central American poet Claribel Alegria’s “Flowers from the Volcano.” She currently is director of the Lannan Center for Poetry and Social Practice at Georgetown University.

KUMQUATS, from page 1A for many years. He had a special affection for the small decorative tree with delicate green leaves and orange fruit. Up north, the kumquat blooms added color and charm to Christmas décor in wreaths, on mantels, and as stylish adornments on gift packages. Or, people wanted a pretty tree for their yards. But, as Nathe knew, they also could be popped into the mouth and eaten or preserved as marmalade, jams and jellies. Nathe gave away most of his early harvests to neighbors. But, he soon realized the commercial value of the kumquat, both decorative and edible. He loaded his kumquats on the rail line and shipped them north by the bushels. His neighbors took note, and kumquat trees sprouted across the countryside. As a young boy, Gude, now age 86, and his siblings, had kumquat chores during harvesting seasons. “We’d come home from school to pick kumquats,” he said.“My job especially was to make crates to ship them in. The girls would be out there picking them.” Gude said local families swapped recipes for kumquat pies, cakes, jellies and jams. Many of those recipes went into a cookbook that was slipped into kumquat gift boxes, and shipped to cities such as New York and Chicago. Outside, the boxes would be decorated with pretty clippings of fruit nestled within leaves. Agricultural regulations nowadays don’t allow leaves due to the potential for spreading pesticides and plant diseases, Gude said. But, at the time, the kumquat’s versatility only boosted its popularity. The trees typically bear fruit three times a year, in May, June and July. “You pick one crop, and the next crop gets ready,” Gude said. Kumquat Growers represents about 10 area growers.“We harvest their fruit and market it for them,” Gude said. At the packinghouse on Gude Road, off State Road 578, a small group of workers are stationed on the assembly line — washing, cleaning and stripping away leaves. Kumquats are packaged in small containers and then boxed for delivery. In downtown Dade City, a 1950s-style sign inside Olga’s Deli, advertises kumquat

BAND, from page 1A They’re also open to playing for private parties, Cindy Karafilis said. But, they’re so new to the game that they haven’t quite figured out what to charge when they do get a paying gig, she said. Regardless of the venue, the kids seem

19th Annual Kumquat Festival WHEN: Jan. 30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. WHERE: Historic downtown Dade City WHAT: Music, arts & crafts, car and truck show, food trucks, family fun and lots of kumquats COST: Admission is free, transportation from satellite parking areas is free, and city-owned parking lots in downtown Dade City are free

refrigerator pie, using a recipe by Rosemary Gude, Frank’s wife, who died in 2014. The recipe uses a frozen kumquat puree sold by the growers’ cooperative. As often happens, the festival coincides with Tampa’s pirate invasion and Gasparilla Festival.The first time that happened, organizers of the kumquat fest held their breath. But, they need not have worried.The tiny kumquat triumphed. “Different crowds,” Gude said. Even after all these year, Gude is amazed that some people still don’t know what a kumquat is. At the open house, Gude and Roger Swain, the former host of The Victory Garden on PBS, will explain to visitors “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About a Kumquat.” There also will be tours of the groves and the packinghouse, free samples of kumquat products and a farmer’s market. Donations for hot dogs will go to the American Cancer Society. For those who want to do a little shopping, the gift shop is stocked with all things kumquat, including pie, marmalades, butter, chutney and salsa. There’s even sweet or spicy barbecue sauce and vinaigrette, featuring kumquats. Free samples are always available, said Margie Neuhofer, who manages the shop. And, those samples typically turn into sales, she said. “Once they taste it, they want to buy it,” Neuhofer said. At the festival’s first open house, people lined up along the road waiting to get in. Last year more than 1,000 people stopped by, and Neuhofer expects this year to be no different. “A lot of people like it better than the festival,” she said.

RETIRE, from page 1A position with Miami-Dade County’s emergency management office that she discovered her passion for public service. “I see that it was the hand of God, a bit of destiny with doors I went through and doors I didn’t go through,” Baker said.“But, I fell in love. I am not a competitive, money-directed person by nature. Public service allowed me an opportunity to make a difference.” She was an emergency operations officer in Miami when Hurricane Andrew devastated that city in 1992. Pasco County Administrator John Gallagher hired her away the following year as Pasco’s emergency management director. She interviewed for the job the day before the “No-Name” storm (also known as the “Storm of the Century”) slammed Florida’s coast and flooded west Pasco. Baker cut a vacation short to take on the new job. Over the years, Gallagher showed his confidence in her, tapping Baker as program administrator for engineering, and for nearly six years as his chief assistant county administrator. As head of engineering, she oversaw the launching of the county’s Environmental Land Acquisition and Management Program, which buys and manages environmentally sensitive land throughout the county. She also got the Penny for Pasco program off the ground. Funds from a penny sales tax are shared with the county, cities and the school districts for building projects. “We had a new program to seek stewardship of at its birth,” Baker said. She took the helm as interim county administrator in 2013 when Gallagher retired after more than 30 years in the job. County commissioners initially offered the administrator’s job to a candidate from Texas who

unexpectedly walked away during contract negotiations. When Baker was appointed, she was the first woman to hold the county’s top administrative job. She took over as the county struggled with deep budget cuts and staff layoffs, following the nation’s deepest recession in history. Baker credits Gallagher for initially steering the county safely through a new era of leaner budgets and fewer staff members. Even as Gallagher prepared to retire, about half of the county’s departmental managers indicated they also planned to retire. “He empowered me to begin the transition,” she said.“We saw the handwriting on the wall.There was going to be a substantial correction.We didn’t know how bad it was going to be. But, we knew our revenues would be tightening.” Baker also shared with Gallagher a vision of reorganizing county government and putting an emphasis on customer service. “You have to operate more efficiently and keep level of service residents want because government has less money,” Baker said. Baker routinely provides county commissioners with a quarterly report updating them on her progress for the projects on that to-do list. Discussions are expected to begin soon on how the board will search for a replacement. That typically takes about seven to nine months, Baker said. She would like to have that person on board before she leaves to help with the transition. “I am, by nature, an organized planner,” Baker said.“I want to hire and mentor that person. I will have been successful if my successor is successful.” Once the ignition key is turned on the RV though, it’s a new adventure ahead.

Once you get over that little hump of being afraid to go onstage, it’s a blast.” Some day, fame may come. But, for now, they’re just working hard — and turning up the volume.

New recreational tennis league starting up By Kevin Weiss

New recreational tennis league

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

A new recreational tennis league for adults soon will be up and running. The Tri-County Men’s and Women’s Tennis League will encompass Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties. Walt Bockmiller, the league’s organizer, plans to form a dividing line in which north Hillsborough and Pasco would be one league, west Hillsborough would be a separate league and Pinellas County would have a league, too. Teams will be formed from each of those leagues, which will be made up of both singles and doubles matches. Matches will be played at various “home and away” locations throughout the three counties, and points will be awarded for each set won. “It’s not you as an individual that would be named champion, but it’s your team,” Bockmiller explained about the points system.“So, your team would amass points in doubles and singles play.” Bockmiller, who worked in parks and recreation management for 47 years across three states — Florida, Maryland and Louisiana — wants to mold the Tri-County Tennis League after the Greater Volusia Tennis League, on the east coast of Florida. The league includes residents from Volusia and Flagler counties. “We started with only a couple hundred (players) and now there’s over 13,500,” Bockmiller said, referring to the Greater Volusia Tennis League.“They play seven days a week. Every day of the week, there’s something going on (there).That’s what we need here,” he said. This area lacks sufficient structure to generate increased play, he said. From his experiences as a former parks and recreation director, Bockmiller, 73, believes the lack of tennis structure among the three counties is due to the amount of effort needed from a number of people to form a sizable league. In drawing on his decades of experience in creating and operating various sports leagues and programs, Bockmiller believes that an organized tennis league would help area residents in terms of socializing with others, and advancing one’s skillset.

WHAT: A tri-county men’s and women’s tennis league for adults of all ages; singles and doubles play WHERE: Various tennis courts across Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties For more information, call Walt Bockmiller at (813)-527-8211.

KEVIN WEISS/STAFF PHOTO

From left, Walt Bockmiller of Land O’ Lakes, Jesse Thomas of Tampa and Bill Rosenberg of Lutz are three prospective members of the new Tri-County Tennis league.

The structure encourages competition among different players, which helps players develop their skills, he said. “All of a sudden, you’re meeting new players with different styles and start saying, ‘My gosh, what did (that player) do to me?’ and you pick up that knowledge, and then you start to try to pick that shot up. “All of a sudden, your game goes up one, two or three times your ability level than what you’re playing at now, just in picking up one shot or two or three,” he said. The league organizer also noted that when tennis players, especially novices, compete against several different people, there’s a greater the likelihood they will elevate their understanding of the game, too. Over time, he said, players then learn how to exploit another opponent’s weakness—like backhand shots, for example. “For a serve, you’re looking to set up a

negative impact on a player…most players can hit with the forehand, but many cannot hit backhand, so where do you think I’m going to serve? “A lot of people have no strategy for the game,” added Bockmiller, who plays tennis three days a week.“They might say,‘I hit the ball into a box.’ No, you don’t; there are four or five spots in the box that you’re (supposed to be) aiming at. …I’m going to look for the weakest spot and put it there, and hopefully set up for an easy point.” As people gain more experience, Bockmiller said players also start to use various weather conditions and court surfaces to their advantage. “Wind is a big factor in the game,” he said.“If it’s really windy, I can make you run from one side of the court to the other side of the court very easily. …Once you play on a different court, it changes the game. You

can hit a spin (shot) on a clay surface, and it’s like throwing a loaf of bread on the other side of the net; it doesn’t bounce, and it lies there like a wet towel. “You’ll learn all this stuff and…if you’re astute, you’ll pick it up readily.” Bockmiller, who also organizes softball and golf outings for senior citizens, has already made a number of connections in Pasco County, and is trying to work his way through Hillsborough and Pinellas counties to rate tennis players for the league. “We’re doing really well in Pasco,” Bockmiller said about tennis players interested in the league. “I’ve (covered) Trinity and Odessa, and I need to go down to the Dale Mabry part of the area, as well as Tarpon Springs, St. Petersburg, Plant City, Sun City, Clearwater, and all down in there. “I just have to take time to go down and do it,” he said. The process for joining the league is a simple one. Bockmiller meets with prospective players to test out their serves, volleys, and forehand and backhand shots. From there, Bockmiller gives out a rating, ranging from a low of 1.0 to a high of 4.0, to reflect a player’s skill level. The rating will help match players with similar abilities to compete against each other. Ultimately, Bockmiller hopes the league will grow to the point where there are organized tennis matches in both the fall and winter. He noted there will be a small league fee, ranging anywhere from $10 to $25, for the purpose of keeping stats and presenting awards at the end of each season. The location of the matches will be determined later.

Wesley Chapel football coach settling in By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

It’s been a while since the Wesley Chapel High School football team has celebrated a winning season—since 2011 to be exact. Anthony Egan, the new head coach, hopes to change that. Egan coached both the offensive and defensive line at River Ridge High School in New Port Richey for the past three seasons. He was named the Wildcats’ head coach in early January. He officially begins working for Wesley Chapel High on Feb. 1 as an autism spectrum disorder specialist. His first few weeks as Wesley Chapel’s head football coach have been a bit of a challenge logistically, as he’s had to drive from River Ridge to Wesley Chapel to orchestrate the football team’s offseason workouts and conditioning sessions. Egan replaces Tico Hernandez, who stepped down after three tough seasons at Wesley Chapel, where he finished with a combined record of 4-26. Despite the football program’s struggles over the past few seasons, Egan is confident he can improve the record, noting the program’s foundation and culture have already

SHERIFF’S 5K SET FOR JAN. 30 The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office is hosting a race to raise awareness about human trafficking.The Radiant 5K is set for Jan. 30 at 8 a.m., at Pasco-Hernando State College’s Porter campus at Wiregrass Ranch, 2727 Mansfield Blvd., in Wesley Chapel. Registration is $30 up to one day before the event, and $35 on race day. For more information, visit RunSignup.com/race/fl/wesleychapel/theradiant5k.

been instilled by the previous coaching staff. “I’ve been checking out some of the talent we have, and I’m pretty excited about the quarterback, some returning running backs, and (we) even have a really good returning running back/linebacker, so I’m excited about coaching the kids that are coming back,” Egan said.“I’ve met the kids, and the kids seem to be excellent kids. … The (coaches) in the past have instilled that character in the kids.” Quarterback Jacob Thomas, who’ll be a senior next season, is expected to be the centerpiece of the offense after throwing for more than 1,800 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2015. “That quarterback, J.T., is pretty good, so definitely I’m going to try to give him opportunities,” Egan stated. “If that means running a little bit of the spread (offense), that’s fine, but I definitely want to give him his due opportunities because he was a very good quarterback for (Wesley Chapel) last year.” While Egan plans to implement some principles of the spread offense to accommodate the skillset of Thomas, he also plans to put his own stamp on the team’s offensive philosophy, with the hope of giving them a better chance to win more regular

season games. “They struggled at times last year when they tried to spread it out and run that type of offense, and I think they’d be a lot closer in some of those games, and maybe have a chance to win some of them at the end, if they’d kept it closer with a little bit more ball control,” said Egan, who’s a former high school offensive lineman.“Maybe by taking a different approach and what I’m going to try to do with the (team), we can try to get the wins up and the losses down.” Despite a lackluster record in 2015, the Wildcats had opportunities for more wins —losing three games by a margin of 7 points or less, and another by just 12 points. Besides a different offensive philosophy from the previous coaching staff, Egan will also implement a pressure-oriented, 4-3 defense on the other side of the ball. “It’s an aggressive, run-stopping defense with a lot of blitzing,” Egan explained.“It’s kind of a newer defense, and I don’t know if a whole lot of people know about it.” As he transitions to his new post, Egan is also in the process of filling out his coaching staff at Wesley Chapel. He retained both Leon Haynes and JV coach Kudura Douglas from Hernandez’s staff, but is looking to add two, or possibly, three more assistants.

But, SunWest Park is all about changing minds with a little fun in the sun. “I think it’s a phenomenal addition to the county’s tourism,” said Pasco County Commissioner Jack Mariano.“I think it could be considered the focal point. I see a lot of people come here, because everyone loves the white sand we have here.” They might also love beach volleyball, wakeboarding, paddleboarding, sand soccer, kayaking or tumbling through floating inflatables in the aqua park. SunWest opened on the Fourth of July weekend off U.S. 19, at 17362 Old Dixie Highway in Hudson. Portions of the park remain under construction, and an official grand opening is anticipated in spring. The county acquired the property in the mid-1980s when it was the site of a former limestone mine with a spring-fed lake. More than a decade of discussions and planning preceded the construction of SunWest. The park provides a beach experience without traveling a great distance, Gianni Finley, 5, gets help from wakeboard instructor and said Mariano, adding that it can be a general manager, Dusty Stone of New Port Richey.
