Talented youths get time to shine

By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Jessica Twitmyer received the top scores to win a $1,000 Pasco Heritage Scholarship, during the 34th “Spotlight on Talent” on March 11 at the Center for the Arts at Wesley Chapel High School.

Because of its popularity, the talent contest is divided into two shows, said Barbara Friedman, the executive producer for the competition, which is put on by the nonprofit Heritage Arts Center Association.

The afternoon performance features younger competitors and the evening show features older contestants.

More than 160 students auditioned on Feb. 28 for a chance to compete in the finals, Friedman said. Of those, a total of 140 competed in the two shows.

Friedman was helped by assistant producers Dr. Rebecca Groomes and Alicia Polk Guanio.Also, a 15-member board of directors worked on the project for three months, and a final production team, including 20 members of the community, pitched in to put on the competition, Friedman said.

Both performances drew audiences of hundreds of people, and performers competed for more than $5,000 in trophies, ribbons and cash prizes.

Contestants included musicians, singers, dancers and musical theater performers.

There were two masters of ceremonies, Tom Jackson, who works for Pasco County Clerk & Comptroller Paula O’Neil, and Mike Rom, principal of Countryside Montessori Charter School.

Madonna Jervis Wise, a local author who writes primarily about history, has been making the rounds lately, talking about women in the work force and “East Pasco Women Who Rocked.”

Her talks, which have been delivered at the Pioneer Florida Museum and Village in Dade City, at the East Pasco Networking Group’s breakfast meeting and at the Zephyrhills Public Library, have traced the evolving role of women in society.

The essence of her presentation traces the progress that women have made since ancient times to the present.

First, she delivers an overview of women in history and then she focuses on the contributions of seven East Pasco women.

While delivering her talk at the East Pasco Networking Group, Wise said she keeps her mother and grandmother in mind.

“My mother was Depression-era woman who worked most of her life. My grandmother was equally as industrious,” she said.

“As we go through the presentation, please stop and think about the women in your life.

“Right now, we have 72 million women

Madonna Jervis Wise has been giving talks about women’s progress at various venues during Women’s History Month.

in the American workforce.That’s 30 million more than 1984, and women roughly make up about 50 percent of the workforce,” she said.

Despite their large numbers in the work force, women still trail men in terms of pay, Wise noted.Women receive approximately 81 percent of what men are paid, she said.

And, only 14 percent of the executive posi-

tions in Fortune 500 companies are held by women.

There has been progress, however, compared to opportunities for women in the past.

“Women weren’t allowed to participate in any capacity, throughout most of history —in terms of speaking, political involvement, certainly not leadership,”Wise said.

“In the American colonies, women didn’t own property and certainly didn’t vote,” she said.

“I do a lot of genealogy. Sometimes you don’t even find the woman’s first name in genealogy.”

Census data from the 19th century shows blank spaces for occupations because women’s work was not recorded, Wise said.

Women’s role in the world of work has evolved over time, she said.

“By the 1820s, women were starting to go into the textile mills. Pay was about $3 a week.

“By the early 19th century, we still women mostly involved in domestic services, laundry, cooking, cleaning, some teaching, nursing,” she said.

But she noted, women’s opportunities See PROGRESS, page 11A

Pasco, administrator agree to terms

By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Daniel F. Biles has agreed to contract terms to become Pasco County’s next administrator.

The final step to hiring Biles is expected on March 28, when the Pasco County Commission will vote on Biles’ contract.

All five commissioners ranked Biles as their top choice on March 14, after a day of public and private interviews with the candidate.

Commissioners also authorized the board’s chairman, Mike Moore, to negotiate a contract with Biles.

Biles has signed off on the offer sheet, Moore said.

The new administrator will receive an annual salary of $220,000, under terms of

the contract offer, Moore said.

Biles now works as deputy county manager in Jefferson County,Alabama, located in Birmingham.

Moore is delighted that Biles has accepted the offer.

“I’m definitely excited about it,” Moore said. “He’s going to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our area, at a time when we are seeing a lot of great things happening in the county.”

Pasco is growing in both population and economic development, Moore noted.

The chairman also expects Biles to play an instrumental role when it comes to infrastructure and stormwater projects because of the knowledge that Biles has developed through his previous experiences.

Biles will replace County Administrator Michele Baker, who is retiring. She has been in the role since 2013, following a lengthy career with the county.

In addition to his work in Jefferson County, Biles served in the military and worked in private business.

Biles was among a list of 11 candidates recommended by the Chicago-based recruitment firm of GovHR USA. Commissioners decided to interview five of those candidates.

Both Moore and Commissioner Mike Wells said Biles stood out, among a pool of top-notch candidates.

Both were impressed by the combination of skills and experiences that Biles brings to the role.

Fitness expert offers tips to get healthy, stay healthy

Are you really healthy?

That was the main question posed by fitness professional Casio Jones, during a recent Community Awareness Series event, presented by PascoHernando State College.

Jones is the wellness director for Florida Hospital Zephyrhills CREATION Health and Wellness Center, at 38233 Daughtery Road.

KEVIN WEISS Jones held an educational and interactive discussion on Speaking to dozens of students, faculty and community members at Pasco-Hernando State College’s March 14 at PHSC’s East campus East Campus in Dade City, Casio Jones offered nutritional and fitness tips. He warned that poor diet choices and lack of exercise can lead to major issues later in life. in Dade City.

There, he spoke to a classroom filled with students, faculty and members of the community.

Besides offering several dietary parameters, Jones’ presentation also centered on exercise — and ways to get more of it.

Setting achievable goals is a good way to start, he said.

His suggestions include using the stairs more often, parking far away from various shopping destinations and taking daily evening strolls with a friend.

Small changes can equal big results.

Finding an enjoyable activity or sport is yet another simple way to be more physically active, Jones said.

“Find excuses to move,” he said.

“Discover something you enjoy doing.”

Jones’ talk also included the need to maintain emotional and mental well-being.

Adequate rest, getting outdoors each day and an overall optimistic attitude goes a long way toward relieving tension and stress, he said.

“Focus on the good things,” he said,“and don’t pay attention to the small, negative things.”

Since 2011, Jones was instrumental in overseeing the development of the new Florida Hospital Zephyrhills CREATION Health Wellness Center, which opened last February.

The 13,000-square-foot, 24-hour fitness facility offers various group classes, healthy living seminars and a wellness spa.

Since the grand opening more than a year ago, the facility’s membership has grown from 465 members to over 2,050 members, Jones said.

“We are enjoying the impact we are making in our community,” he said. “It’s just a safe environment for people to come and learn.”

Larkin’s legacy goes beyond ‘tough guy’ reputation Knowing Your History

By Doug Sanders Special to The Laker/Lutz News

W

illiam M. Larkin’s reputation for being a tough character outlasted his lifetime.

Known as “The Meanest Man in Pasco County,” some people still recall that moniker applied to the Dade City man, nearly a half century after his death in 1973.

Larkin reinforced that image by keeping a single-shot .22 rifle in the gun rack of his truck — a statement that often left a lasting impression with young cowboys.

“Someone once wrote a letter to him, but they didn’t know his address,” said Bobby Tesar, recalling Larkin’s legendary reputation. “So, they addressed the letter to “The Meanest Man in Pasco County”—and he got the letter!”

But, Larkin is known around Pasco County for much more than being considered a man with a difficult disposition.

During his lifetime, he was a cattleman and lawyer, a member of the Pasco County School Board and the chairman of the Southwest Florida Water Management District.

He established the first Santa Gertrudis herd in Florida in the early 1940s.

“He gave the first bull “Rex” water and hay while penned in his side yard on Church Avenue,” said Ray Battle, who is Larkin’s cousin.

Larkin transported Rex from Texas, in a trailer he pulled with his own car.

Larkin’s neighbors soon would learn all about Rex and about Pancho, a 6-foot tall sire brought to Dade City from the world-famous King Ranch in south Texas. That ranch, founded in 1853, now stretches into six Texas counties, encompassing 825,000 acres.

The Larkins made frequent trips to King

Purchased in 1924, the Larkin home on Church Avenue was originally built as a three-room cottage in 1884. It was part of a 10-acre spread that was later platted as one of the first subdivisions in Dade City.

Ranch, to expand their cattle herd in Pasco County.

In 1940, the United States Department of Agriculture recognized what Larkin already knew: Santa Gertrudis was a distinctive beef breed, adaptable to most climates.

“A Santa Gertrudis female can remain in production well past her 12th birthday and may stay in the breeding herd as long as 18 years,” reports the current Santa Gertrudis Breeders International website.

Gaining additional calves over other cattlemen in Pasco County was perhaps a key reason that Larkin began searching for more land.

Another primary reason was the success of his law practice that he operated along with his brother, E. B. Larkin.

Larkin’s law practice enabled him to begin extensive land buying, including acreage along the Withlacoochee and Hillsborough rivers, Battle said.

“He also had his eye on some rich land north of Dade City, which he got from 41 different property owners,” Battle added.

With hundreds of acres along County Road 35-A (Old Lakeland Highway) and the Atlantic Coastline Railroad, Larkin would complain that the exit to his ranch was blocked whenever the train was parked there for long periods of time.

At breakfast one morning at the Crest

Restaurant, Larkin told Charles Edwards that the train had pulled away that day with nearly half of the cars left behind.

“He said that he disconnected them!”

Edwards recalled.

“I asked him about it a few months later, and he said they hadn’t parked there again,” Edwards added.

Larkin used the railroad to his advantage when unloading large bulldozers at the depot to help begin constructing levees on that rich land north of Dade City.

Draining the swampy marshes with high hammocks into improved pasture “required a dragline and expensive labor,” Battle explained.

Larkin also brought seven pumps with 28-inch propellers from South Florida to discharge water into what became the Duck Lake Canal.

The canal remains a major drainage system, along with the Larkin Canal, for the greater Dade City area and that rich land still known as “The Little Everglades Ranch.”

Larkin was responsible for drafting the fence law for the Florida Legislature, and because of its 1949 passage, Florida remains a ''closed range'' state — making cattle drives through the state’s towns and cities a thing of the past.

To abide by the ruling and to keep cattle on his own land, Larkin fenced 15,000

acres, stretching from north Dade City to south of the Polk County line.

So in addition to his reputation for being difficult, Larkin was known for quite a few accomplishments.

Plus, not everyone believed he was mean.

Kitty Register Fisher recalls the time when her father was in the hospital and her mother had just lost a baby.

“We were getting really low on food, and Mr. Larkin showed up with food to help us.

“To my family he was a good man,” Fisher said.

Could it be — that beneath that tough exterior — William M. Larkin, of Dade City, was actually a nice guy?

Connerton is hosting three events to give people a chance to write a few words of encouragement and inspiration for retired U.S. Army Sgt. David Roca and his family, who will be receiving a mortgagefree home from Connerton, Lennar and Operation Finally Home.

Roca sustained several traumatic brain injuries in combat during his deployment to Iraq. One of those injuries occurred when an improvised explosive device hit his vehicle.

Roca and his three children were surprised on a windy, chilly March morning when they found out they would be moving into a home in Connerton, a 4,800-acre mixed-used, master-planned community in central Pasco County.

Roca and his children, Alex, Amelie and David Jr., will be moving into a 2,065-squarefoot, four-bedroom home, being built by Lennar Homes. The family is expected to move in on April 30.

Those who would like to extend their congratulations and well wishes will have a chance to write them on the home’s studs before the dry wall is installed, said Joan Stout, a Connerton marketing consultant.

Those signings will take place at the home site, 8743 Savory Walk Drive in Connerton, on April 1,April 2 and April 8, from noon to 3 p.m.

COURTESY OF GREY STREET STUDIOS INC.

Construction is already underway at 8743 Savory Walk Drive. The family of four is expected to move in on April 30.

Those unable to come during those times should visit Club Connerton, at 21100 Fountain Garden Way, where they can sign a heart. Those hearts will be stapled to the framing of the home, Stout said.

The Roca family will be able to read the notes, as they do a walk-through of the home before the drywall is installed. That walk-through is expected on April 9.

Grey Street Studios Inc., also will do a video tour to capture the notes of love so that the family will have a permanent remembrance of the wishes extended to them from the community.

This is the sixth home Lennar has provided to military families around the country, and the first in the Tampa Bay market.

Based in Texas, Operation Finally Home has provided more than 150 mortgage-free homes for veterans during the past 10 years.

Publishing advice for writers The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

Pasco-Hernando State College’s Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch is offering a free one-hour seminar to help writers learn more about authorship and the world of publishing.

The seminar is scheduled for March 23 at 11 a.m., according to a news release from the college. The event will be in the Building B Conference Center at the Porter campus, 2727 Mansfield Blvd., in Wesley Chapel.

Presenters at the seminar will be: • Joseph Ward, an assistant professor of English and a faculty advisor to Porter’s Literary Artists & Scholars Troop, a creative writing and creative arts club at PHSC Porter Campus.

His research and teaching interests include representations of the monstrous in literature and popular culture, including

true crime. He has published four nonfiction novels about true crime under a pen name.

• Taylor Gibson, a PHSC student, who is author of the “Spark a Phantasy” novel, the first in a four-part series. Gibson, diagnosed with high functioning autism at an early age, began writing in high school; however, he developed the characters in his book when he was in elementary school.

• Madonna Jervis Wise, an author in historical nonfiction and historical fiction genres. She recently published “Images of America Wesley Chapel” through Arcadia Publishing/History Press and debuted throughout the Tampa Bay area.

The event is part of PHSC’s ongoing Community Awareness Series that aims to increase public awareness of resources available to members of the community.

Contagious Attitude Brings Results

By Will Plazewski Special to The Laker / Lutz News

From the moment you walk into Your Best You P.A., you can feel that it’s a different kind of medical clinic with a different kind of attitude. Heck, it even smells different, courtesy of an aromatherapy diffuser puffing away in the lobby.

With a focus on primary care and diabetes treatment/management, that’s the way Dr. Shani V. Davis, Ph.D., ANP-BC, CDE and her team intend it to be.

Dr. Davis, a nurse practitioner for nearly 16 years, with the vast majority of it in endocrinology, has also worked, presented and instructed on Advanced Diabetes Management Strategies throughout Florida. Beyond all of her qualifications, you’ll find genuine concern and a positive attitude that comes naturally to her. In fact, it’s downright infectious.

It’s clear that Dr. Davis really does connect with her patients, which would

explain her fiercely loyal following. Your goal is her team’s goal. More specifically, their aim is to assist patients with setting and reaching their own individual health-related outcomes.

“Each patient comes from a different background, has a different set of circumstances, and a different goal or goals. One is no more valid than another,” said Dr. Davis.

This kind of approach is especially important in the management of chronic diseases like diabetes. Once a person’s goals are set, the team designs plans of treatment, management and education for that individual.

“Be it chronic disease care, health empowerment education, or geriatric wellness, we’ll meet you where you are and help you to move toward your health objectives, on your terms,” she added.

Appointments can be made online or by calling, and walk-ins are also welcome. Dr. Davis invites you to come in for an initial consult, so her team can get to work on the best plan for you.

Showstoppers’ musical theater performance earned third place in its category at ‘Spotlight on Talent.’

TERMS, from page 1A Moore also appreciated the way Biles conducted himself throughout the interview process.

Biles appeared to be relaxed and engaged, Moore said.

“I watched how he interacted with folks, during the meet-and-greet period,” Moore said.“He just felt at home, to me, talking to people.

“Something else that stood out is that his spouse flew down with him, too. His spouse came to the meet-and-greet. She sat with him, while he was interacting with others. She also came and sat in the public interviews that we did, as a group, too,” Moore said.

“Obviously, you really take it serious if you make that decision to bring your spouse down,” Moore said.

That fact didn’t escape Wells’ notice, either, and it left a positive impression.

Wells said Biles obviously had done his homework and, he said, Biles clearly values the importance of customer service.

Moore also noted:“When I had my private interview with him, too, going one on one, he was very comfortable during that conversation. I never felt once that he was trying to oversell me.”

Besides being factual, “he (Biles) was bringing great ideas to the table,” Moore said.

After commissioners offered Biles the job, Moore said he was chatting with him, and Biles mentioned that today’s technology will enable him to be out and about in the county, while remaining accessible.

Moore thinks that’s important.

“When you’re a leader like that, your team needs to see you, and the community needs to see you,” Moore said.

COURTESY OF PENNYE GARCIA

Under Garcia, Sunlake has been one of the top cheerleading programs in Pasco County.

She is the longest-standing cheerleading coach in Pasco County, at 15 years. Garcia previously coached for Academy at the Lakes, Hudson, Mitchell, Land O’ Lakes and Wiregrass Ranch high schools.

coach at Pasco-Hernando State College, a program that has won five College Co-Ed Level 6 division titles in the past seven years.

While there’s no indication yet who will replace Garcia, one thing’s for sure: the new coach is taking over a program with a solid foundation.

“I’ve got everything all set,” she said.

“We’ve got uniforms; they don’t have to really fundraise too much.”

Dogs trot out a few new tricks on their day in Dade City

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Dogs were lapping up good times during Dogs’ Day in Dade City, on a beautiful Saturday at Agnes Lamb Park.

Fifty-one dogs joined the dog parade at 10 a.m., and nearly two dozen competed in individual contests.

Dogs’ Day in Dade City, now in its eighth year, is an event that’s aimed at giving dogs a chance to have fun, while their owners have a good time, too.

Dogs, and their owners, could take part in an assortment of activities, and seemed to be enjoying themselves.

It was an event that attracted Dade City Mayor Camille Hernandez, Dade City Police Chief Ray Velboom, pageant queens, high school volunteers and pet owners from all sorts of places, including St. Petersburg and Boston.

There were also a variety of goodies on sale, both for pets and for their human companions.

China, a poodle, gets up close and personal with Miss Gainesville Courtney Graham, giving China’s owner Denise SutherlandRichardson and Graham a reason to chuckle.

Megan Phillips, a sophomore at Pasco High School, sings the National Anthem at the event. The honor guard includes NROTC Seaman Recruit Kevin Johnson and NROTC Petty Officer First Class Jonathan Miller.

Seven-year-old Wesley Baum and his 10-yearold sister, Annie, of Brooksville, hug their Golden Retriever, Bailey, just before the Pet Parade.

Dr. Jayapriya Raj of Florida Hospital, Zephyrhills' Critical Care Office in Dade City, holds Mario and Kylo next to her son, Danny Moses, 9. They live in Wesley Chapel.

Dade City Police Chief Ray Velboom accepts a donation from Dade City Mayor Camille Hernandez on behalf of the Paws Day organization. The money will go toward purchasing a police dog for the city.

Dogs’ Day volunteers included 15-year-olds Abigail Wilder, Alena Santiago, Jaydean Ireland and Jorlyanys Suarez-Ayala, all members of the National Honor Society at Zephyrhills High School.

Virginia McDaniel’s dog, Alaska, an American Eskimo Dog, is a therapy dog from Tranquil Pawz in Dade City.

Katelyn Harris, Miss Kumquat Festival, and her sister, Carrie Smith, both of Dade City, prepare Naomi — a dog of a different color — for the competition.

Tracy Sanderson, of Trilby, and also with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs, demonstrates the agility of her companion Hercules, an American Staffordshire Terrier.

PET of the WEEK

Polar opposites

Lupi is a 7-year-old Chihuahua who gets very mad with strangers, but is very loving with her owners. Lupi learned to love her adopted sister, Rosey, who is a Boingle (a mix of English pointer and a beagle.) Rosey is the opposite of Lupi and is super loving, and has to give kisses to everyone. Cielo Salazar, of Lutz, is the proud owner of Lupi and Rosey.

Hartlyn loves attention Hartlyn is a sweet girl and is only about 2 years old. She is a staff and volunteer favorite, and adores getting attention. Hartlyn is a pretty little lady, and is desperate to find someone who can love her and pet her as much as they can. Come meet Hartlyn.

COURTESY OF STEPHEN JOHN PHOTOGRAPHY

Kimmy is a younger girl Kimmy does great with children and adults, and has been a part of the doggie play group at the shelter. She is heartworm positive, but it is something that is treatable. This girl is ready to love and cuddle, but be prepared to play as well. Kimmy loves to play in the yard and loves the agility equipment.

Despite her lumbering looks, Kimmy is quite quick on her feet.

Peaceful hunting Karen Whitenton enjoys nature photography as a hobby and snapped this photo of a Tricolored Heron (formerly known as the Louisiana Heron) in the pond behind her house, in Lutz. This heron likes quiet, shallow waters, and although it is solitary in its feeding, it is sociable in nesting, often in large colonies with other herons and egrets.

If you would like to adopt either Hartlyn or Kimmy, be sure to visit Pasco County Animal Services at 19640 Dogpatch Lane in Land O’ Lakes. The adoption center is open Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 6:30 p.m. All adoption fees include spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines. For more information, email adoptionpartners@pascocountyfl.net.
