Hospital plans big expansion By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

It’s not even three years old, and the Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel is already planning a significant expansion that will increase patient rooms, operating rooms and emergency rooms. Hospital officials announced the expansion in a news release on March 6. The $78 million project, expected to begin construction this year, is responding to a demonstrated need. “Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel was originally designed with the ability to grow with the needs of the community,” Dr. Robert Rosequist, chief medical officer of the hospital, said in a release. Denyse Bales-Chubb “Since opening less than three years ago, the hospital has experienced extremely high volumes of patients seeking care,” he added. The 200,000-square-foot hospital opened on Oct. 1, 2012. At that time, it had 83 patient rooms, 18 emergency rooms, a catheterization lab and five operating rooms. It cost $161 million to acquire the land, and build the hospital and adjacent medical office building, according to hospital officials.

Denyse Bales-Chubb, president and CEO of the hospital, said “the community has overwhelmingly shown us both the need for the hospital, and their confidence and appreciation for the high quality care our staff delivers every day. “We are so blessed by their faith in us,”

she said. The hospital knows it needs to grow “to meet both the current demands and future growth of the community,” BalesChubb added, in a release. The expansion calls for three additional See HOSPITAL, page 7A

Second-grader advises new Orlando aquarium By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

When Land O’ Lakes resident Maddy Smith was asked to serve on a special panel for Sea Life Orlando, a new aquarium, it gave her an opportunity to share her thoughts on marine education and conservation. The second-grader also is taking part in events leading up to the aquarium’s May 4 opening. She just has to be sure nothing conflicts with her bedtime at 8 p.m. Maddy attends Imagine School Land O’ Lakes, a Pasco County charter school for children in kindergarten through eighth grade. She is one of just six children selected to the aquarium’s Young Environmentalists Panel. Before the aquarium opens, she’ll oversee the habitats’ progress and will watch the animals get accustomed to their new home. She’ll also be on hand as a VIP for the grand opening. “She was completely in shock and excited,” her mother, Jessica Smith, said in describing how Maddy reacted when she learned she had been selected.“She felt really special.” The honor wasn’t a random selection. Maddy had to earn her way onto the panel. To qualify, children had to submit an essay or video talking about their interest in conservation and the environment. The seven-year-old made a video discussing Florida’s marine animals, and she shared her enthusiasm for a fishing class she takes at her church. “Last Saturday, I caught and released

The explosion of new development in Pasco and Hillsborough counties is good news for governments that count on robust tax revenues to balance budgets. But, the rooftop subdivisions and shopping malls sprouting along busy highways that link these two prospering counties bring new challenges that likely will require a regional approach to solve. Transportation, including public transit, is among the most critical issues. “Everything is connected, but all roads – no pun intended – lead back to transportation,” said Hillsborough County Administrator Mike Merrill. The recession temporarily slammed the brakes on new investments. But with marketplace confidence in the driver’s seat again, developers are accelerating their pace to build thousands of new homes, malls, hotels and restaurants.

Future growth plans, driven by incentives, will set the path for where future development – commercial and residential should go, she said. But she added:“You cannot build your way out of traffic congestion.” During the past two decades, Pasco has seen cow pastures and citrus groves vanish as land is plowed over for subdivisions and Mike Merrill Michele Baker shopping centers.

Multi-use trail being built on U.S. 301 By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

A resurfacing project will give motorists a smoother ride along a 6-mile stretch of U.S. 301 — one of Dade City’s busiest commercial corridors. But there is a new travel lane opening for pedestrians and bicyclists, too. Work on the $12.5 million project should be finished by spring 2016. As motorists whiz past on the new asphalt, pedestrians and bicyclists can stroll or pedal along a parallel 10-foot wide multi-use FRED BELLET/PHOTOS trail. Knight Pest Control's Susan Dunlop hands out a rain meter, for measuring rainfall, while Previously, road construction usually flanked by a large critter. Dunlop spoke to visitors needing information about the business. meant only new asphalt or more traffic lanes for motorized vehicles. But transportation plans these days often build in multiple modes of travel from Point A to Point B, and places in between. This project is one of several upcoming initiatives to develop master plans to guide new development, transportation, and parks and recreation. Pasco County officials asked the Florida The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report Department of Transportation for the trail.

A new traffic signal also is planned at the junction of U.S. 301 and U.S. 98. The trail eventually will hook up with existing and planned trail segments – including Hardy Trail in Dade City – to form a regional network extending from Hillsborough County to the Withlacoochee Trail Head in Pasco. A study will be completed over the next year to create a vision for future development on U.S. 301 from Kossik to the U.S. 98 Bypass including a transportation strategy. A public workshop will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on March 12 at the City of Zephyrhills Council Chambers, 5335 Eighth St. The northern extension of Hardy Trail is a priority of Pasco MPO. Construction is slated to begin in 2017. Preserving the scenic beauty of the area has been a concern of residents, Howell said. “They have nice rolling vistas and Heather DiRienzo of New Port Richey, left, was promoting the Two Guys and A Truck moving rolling hills, and they want to keep them,” trucks, while coworker Eugenia Parlow of New Port Richey stacks additional coffee cups for he said.

Area residents already take advantage of Hardy Trail. On a bright afternoon in Dade City, Anna Crerand pulled her 2-year-old son, Jude, in a red wagon along Hardy Trail. Charlie, 5, and Genevieve, 4, pushed off on their scooters. Crerand loves the nearly 1-mile trail that meanders through wooded neighborhoods from a trailhead at Church Avenue near downtown. And she is pleased about the county’s future trail plans. “It gives me a place to exercise and it’s an easy way to connect with downtown,” she said. “I feel good about taking the kids on the trail.” Her family moved to Dade City about five years ago. “This is a big bonus knowing the trail is here,” Crerand said. “We didn’t know how much we’d enjoy it. It’s nice to see people in the community. You’re all engaged in the same thing.” In the late afternoon more residents showed up to walk or jog the trail either on their own, or with a dog in tow. Multi-use trails promote healthy lifestyles and also make Dade City more attractive to tourists and people looking to relocate, said Dade City Mayor Camille Hernandez. The new trail promotes that. “People have access to a community where they can bike and walk more easily,” Hernandez said. It also makes good business sense, she added. “You want a good road to ride on, but for businesses coming to Dade City or East Pasco, this is an important feature,” she said. “It’s an important piece of quality of life to make sure the roads are drivable and well maintained. It’s a very heavily traveled road.” Hand-in-hand with the repaving and trail, Dade City is beautifying U.S. 98 Bypass. The approximately $113,000 project is funded with about $26,000 from the Florida Department of Transportation. The remainder is from the city through the Penny for Pasco program. “We talk about a gateway,” Hernandez said. “It looks much nicer. I think it’s an added touch when people decide if they want to live here. They say ‘wow, it was a beautiful town.’ “ Howell said municipalities are more aware now of the “complete streets” concept when streets are designed for vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists and bus riders, with a focus on increased safety and beauty. It is better in the long run to build multiuse trails when possible rather than come back later to retrofit a street, he said. As enhancement to the trail system, Pasco MPO is working on a master plan for parks and recreation with the potential for creating new parks with connecting trails that reduce the need for residents to drive. “In a lot of places people have to actually get in a car and drive over even though they can see the park,” Howell said. “We’re trying to avoid that by making a more robust trail system.”

American Legion Post turns 95 The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

It’s not every day you turn 95, and when you do — it’s time to celebrate. At least, that’s how members of American Legion Post 15 felt about it. The post, at 37745 Church Ave., in Dade City, recently had a party to mark its impressive birthday.

FRED BELLET/PHOTOS

Several members set up displays of military artifacts and photographs of service days gone by. Here, military artifacts owned by post member Alfred Boucher of Dade City featured the World War II cap, jacket and medals of U.S. Army Air Force Staff Sgt. Louis P. Desaulnier of the Air Force's 348th Bomb Squadron.

Bill Dayton, the first Vietnam veteran to join American Legion Post 15, proudly wore his cap to the post’s 95th birthday party.

After enjoying a chicken dinner courtesy of the Dade City Kiwanis Club, Sonoko Sloan and her husband, Dale Sloan, enjoy a beverage during the 95th birthday party of the post. Sloan is a U.S. Navy veteran who served from 1971 to 1992.

Present-day American Legion Post 15 Commander Eugene Smith stands against the backdrop of a portrait of the post's first commander, R.B. Sturkie.

Iraq veteran Nichelle Young of San Antonio enlisted and served as a sergeant between 2010 and 2011. At her table display of military memorabilia, Young holds a picture of herself in front of a bunker in Baghdad. She had the opportunity to see Saddam Hussein's palace, after the dictator was sentenced to death by hanging.

Standing in front of a picture board of past commanders and members of American Legion Post 15, Rich Dygulski, middle, visiting from Derby, New York, chats it up with Phyllis Smith, wife of Commander Eugene Smith, along with his wife Roseann and others during the post’s recent 95th birthday bash.

Ed Gorecki, second vice commander of American Legion Post 15, stands with the post's flag bearing its name. The post was named for Gordon M. Crothers, shown in the portrait, shortly after he was killed in Europe in 1918, during World War I.

No horsing around Avalon's students prep for equestrian shows

By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

The Reflections community in Lutz has beautiful houses, well-maintained areas and a peaceful, suburban aesthetic. And 30 acres for riding, training and showing horses. "It's been here 20 years. They built that (the housing development) about 11 years ago," said Pam Roush, trainer and owner of Avalon Stables, 18029 Lake Reflections Blvd. Before that, the property was a farm for thoroughbreds. Then Roush bought it and converted it to an area for training and lessons, and the Veterans Expressway helped the area develop residentially. Now, Avalon Stables almost looks tucked away in a subdivision, but a quick detour off the main road leads to dozens of stables, large training areas and a little community all its own. “We kind of call it our ‘barn family,’” said assistant trainer Lonna Glover. "Usually in the afternoons, everybody is here. It's a big social thing for a lot of our customers." Saturday mornings also are a popular time, with riders and family gathering at the pavilion to watch lessons, socialize and support each other.

While Avalon Stables is a fun place for its riders, it also can be serious business. Many students own their own horse and keep it at Avalon. A horse can easily cost what you'd pay for a new car, Glover explained, and adding several hundred dollars a month for care and maintenance means it's for riders looking to improve and become successful at competitions. But owning a horse isn't a requirement to participate. Some riders simply pay for lessons and use horses on-site that are designated for student use. And whether they're gunning for recognition at a show, or just having fun on the weekends, horse riding and training can relieve stress. The pursuit requires the kind of concentration that doesn't leave room for outside pressures to creep in. "Most people like to come out here to just relax and do something different, because they can't think of anything else while they're sitting up there," Glover said. "They have to think of what they're doing and how they're doing it." Children with attention challenges often find their focus improving when they’re on MICHAEL MURILLO/STAFF PHOTOS a horse, because every movement works in Annaliese Donaldson-Pham and her horse, Tirza, are preparing a move into national compeconcert to keep the animal behaving as it tition. She began riding at age 3. should, Roush explained.

Brooklyn Krone works with her horse, Breve Latte, at Avalon Stables as she works to move up in show competitions.

Brooklyn Krone, 12, has been coming to Avalon for seven years. She spends three days a week working with her horse, Breve Latte, to make a jump from Academy level shows to A level. She's almost there, and still enjoys the training process after all these years. "It's just really fun. I get to meet a lot of people and spend time with horses," she said. Krone is working hard on form and body placement, which is a big part of the judging. It's important to maneuver the horse properly using complex signals and motions, but maintain a smooth and comfortable look, as if the two work together naturally. And even though it's hard work, it's a welcome respite from the stresses of her virtual school schedule. "Usually when I have a really hard day at school, it just takes my mind off of things," Krone said. She hopes to reach A level in the next couple of months. Annaliese Donaldson-Pham, 12, can't remember a time when she wasn't riding. She's been with Avalon for a couple of years,

but began riding when she was 3. "I just love the connection between you and your horse," she said. And she's building a connection with Tirza, a horse she acquired to focus on performing as she plans to make a jump of her own in the showing circuit. A competitor at A level for more than three years, Donaldson-Pham is looking to go national, and works weekly with Tirza to get ready for tougher competition. Seeing her students improve and advance in competition is a particular source of pride for Roush. "I love my kids. It's the best," she said. "It's why we do it." It also becomes a lifelong passion for many of them, she said, building from an interest that began as children into a consistent part of their lives as adults. Krone agrees. "I definitely see myself doing this for a long time," she said. The spring break camp at Avalon, which lasts a week, began on March 9. Summer camp dates begin in June.

HOSPITAL, from page 1A floors to the hospital’s center wing and an additional three-story wing that will connect the south and center wings. Altogether, it involves 111,993 square feet of new construction and 10,834 square feet of renovation. The expansion includes added additional emergency rooms, inpatient rooms, surgical suites and related surgical services, Heart Catheterization Lab, and recovery/observation rooms as well as shelled space for future growth. Construction is expected to begin this summer, with the expansion opening at the end of 2016. A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Aug. 5 at 10 a.m. Maintaining the care and comfort of its patients during the construction is the hospital’s top priority, Tracy Clouser, marketing director said, via email. It expects to be able to do that because the hospital was built with expansion in mind, Clouser said, noting the patient care areas have a sound muffling system to help reduce disturbance from noise, and there

are no air handlers on the roof, to make expansion easier and less intrusive. Since opening, the hospital has continued to add new programs and services, Clouser added. “The addition will allow us more opportunities to do that. One example of this is in surgery. With additional operating rooms, we will be able to add additional physicians and expand the types of surgery we can perform,” she said. Additionally, “the renovation will include moving the caesarean section operating room to the third floor, expanding areas like pre-admission testing, waiting rooms and sterile supply. It will also include an expansion of our central energy plant to support the larger facility,” Clouser said. Services at the hospital include an emergency department, cardiac care, vascular surgery, orthopedics and sports medicine, women’s services and gynecology, obstetrics, urology and nephrology, outpatient imaging, outpatient physical and occupational therapy, The Center for Women’s Health and a freestanding Health & Wellness Center.

strategies without overlooking each individual county’s needs, Baker said. As businesses look to expand and don’t have room in Hillsborough and Pinellas, they will look elsewhere, Baker said. But she posed this question: “Rather than let them leap frog from the Tampa Bay region, how do we work to keep them here…without cherry picking from each other?” The two counties take different approaches to revenue resources. About 70 percent of Hillsborough’s tax revenues flow from property taxes, while Pasco gets about 35 percent of its money from property taxes. The majority of Pasco’s revenues are filled in with sales and gas taxes, and the renewed Penny for Pasco program. Baker said Pasco historically has taken a “pay as you go” approach with developers paying higher impact fees than

Hillsborough to cover the costs of infrastructure, such as roads and sewers, to support new growth. But Baker also pointed out that Pasco County has the lowest permitting fees in the region. Hillsborough needs greater diversity in its revenue sources, Merrill said. “The struggle in Hillsborough County is how to go forward. It’s not easy to make that shift overnight,” Merrill said. Pasco County has been focused on changing what Baker described as a “culture of no.” Along those lines, county officials have taken steps to eliminate and streamline business regulations and to promote a more customer friendly attitude among county employees, Baker said. “We are not all the way there, but we are picking up steam and making good headway,” Baker said.

Teen dating violence is a serious issue The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

A Family Medical Practice Where You Always See A Doctor APPROVED FACILITY FOR VACCINE FOR CHILDREN

Samantha Lindsay, M.D. Board Certified in Family Medicine Focus on women and children, including infants

The National Domestic Abuse Hotline reports that 1.5 million high school students each year experience physical abuse from a dating partner. Yet, only one-third of those victims seek help. Dating violence goes beyond physical abuse. It includes verbal, emotional and sexual abuse of a partner, as well. Teen victims of dating violence are at greater risk of substance abuse, eating disorders and future abuse, according to the National Domestic Abuse Hotline. To combat this serious problem, The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) and AlertID have joined forces to raise awareness and offer warning signs, advice for parents, and resources for victims. “We need to start early in teaching young people strategies to recognize healthy dating relationships," said Ann M. Harkins, president and CEO of the National Crime Prevention, said in a release. “Prevention is key to protecting our children and making sure they never feel the sting of domestic abuse.” She encourages parents to talk to their children about this serious issue. Here are some of the warning signs: The teenager: • Makes excuses and apologizes for his or her partner’s behaviors • Frequently has unexplained injuries, such as bruises or body pain • Isolates him or herself from family and

friends and only deals with his or her partner • The dating partner often texts or calls demanding to know where and with whom the teenager has been • Often appears to be depressed but won’t discuss the cause Here are steps that parents can take: • Set a good example. Display positive and healthy relationships to model what an appropriate and respectful relationship with a significant other looks like. • Teach your children to trust their judgment. Have an open conversation about dating violence, physical and verbal abuse to help prepare your child to know how to safely and properly avoid abusive relationships. • Create an open environment. Your child should know that they can come to you in times of need for support - not criticism or judgment. Maintain a neutral position to help your teen to open up about his or her partner. Listen and don’t jump to conclusions. Assure your child that if he or she ever finds him or herself in a violent relationship that you will be a source of help, not blame.

PRE-NEED PLANNING GIVES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY PEACE OF MIND By Anne Childers Special to The Laker / Lutz News Most people are planners. We plan for work and play — vacations, sporting events, social occasions and milestones like births, graduations and weddings. The only milestone most people fail to plan for is the last one — when we end our journey here on earth. Even those who have accepted that death is part of life can be reluctant to make arrangements for that final occasion. The caring, professional staff at Trinity Memorial Gardens understands this hesitation. Every staff member knows how to care for others during this time of need, and is trained to assist with unique needs and requests. Gary Saling, general manager of Trinity Memorial Gardens, commented, “When someone makes pre-need plans for themselves, they find peace of mind knowing that their family members will not need to worry or be burdened about what to do when the time comes.” “When you make the decisions and the arrangements, you can be assured that your wishes will be carried out, “ said Saling. “You will spare your family the emotional choices that need to be made at a very difficult time.” In addition to pre-need planning, Trinity Memorial Gardens offers at-need services, traditional burial and onsite cremation at its location on State Road 54, two miles west of the Veterans Expressway. All faiths are welcomed at this privately owned, full service funeral home, which offers a lovely, on-site chapel with seating for up to 250 guests. There is a Garden of Honor for military veterans, two Catholic themed gardens, the Garden of Prayer and Bell Tower, a non-sectarian garden. There is also a separate cemetery on-site for those of the Jewish faith, called

Beit Olam. Trinity also serves those of the Hindu faith, as they have the on-site crematory. The Rose Garden is a newly created area that provides for in ground cremation burials. There is a private estate garden for those interested in a separated family plot, and a public mausoleum with both crypts for full body entombment, and niches for cremation inurnments. There are also glass front niches for a unique way to memorialize a loved one. Trinity Memorial Gardens is about to embark on numerous constructions projects, including a new niche chapel dedicated to glass front niches, another inside mausoleum, an outside mausoleum, multiple new gardens, and a gazebo near the gardens of honor and innocence (the special garden for infants). A full-time, professional maintenance staff takes care of the beautiful grounds. There are no additional fees charged to families for landscaping and garden maintenance. Trinity Memorial Gardens, which is part of Dr. James Gill’s original vision for Trinity, celebrated 20 years of service this past in January. The Gardens continue to grow and expand services to meet the needs of all who call this region home. General Manager Gary Saling joins his staff in inviting you to call and schedule a personal tour of the Trinity Memorial Gardens campus.
