By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

The Shops at Wiregrass is adding fresh faces to its retail lineup.

By the end of fall, the outdoor mall will host the grand openings of seven new stores.

The first three shops, Lola Perfume, Soleciety Sneaker Boutique, and 3D Musketeers Printing, already are open.

VisionWorks, VomFASS Oils, Vinegars, Spirits & Wines, Rocket Fizz Soda Pop & Candy Shop, and Irish 31 will arrive in the next months.

“We’re continually working with our leasing department.We listen continually to our customers who tell us what they want,” said Greg Lenners, general manager at The Shops

at Wiregrass. “We try to have a little bit of everything.”

The new shops are part of the routine of keeping a mall fresh and were planned ahead of the opening of Tampa Premium Outlets, Lenners said.

“We have to be very strategic with what we put in,” Lenners said.That’s true for every mall, including Tampa Premium Outlets, he noted.

Four outparcels at Wiregrass are still up for grabs, so additional announcements could happen this year, Lenners said.

Lola Perfume features brand-name fragrances for men and women, at a shop near Hollister’s.

Eighteen-year-old James Williams is a Florida finalist in the 2016 VSA Florida Young Soloist Competition. He now will compete for international honors. Shown here, he is playing on the grand piano in the lobby at Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel.

Playing classical music is not the easiest feat — even when you’ve had formal training and are adept at reading sheet music.

For James Williams, it is even more challenging.

Not only does he lack formal training, but he also has had to overcome obstacles caused by his autism, a condition he was diagnosed with at age 3.

The now 18-year-old, who originally hails from London, said he began teaching himself to play piano when he was attending Weightman Middle School, in Wesley Chapel.

He had a simple motive: He wanted to win the school’s talent show.

And, he did.

Since then, he has continued teaching himself and recently he was named one of the state’s three top soloists in the ninth annual 2016 VSA Florida Young Soloist Competition.

Winning that contest means that he’s representing Florida in the VSA International Competition in Washington D.C., later this year.

The other two Florida finalists in the competition are Lyudmilla Fuentes, from Polk County, and Jacqueline Blanche, from Charlotte County.

The state finalists were selected through a strict adjudication process facilitated by See MUSIC, page 11A

New River kids tackle cooking challenge

Four New River Elementary students are getting set to take off their “thinking caps” and put on their “chef’s caps.”

Fourth-graders Payton Furman, Cameron Keehn, Payton Leidy and Charyn Maldonado will compete as a team in the third annual Gridiron Cooking Challenge at One Buc Place, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers training facility, on May 14 from 9 a.m. to noon. Other regional competitions are being held at the Miami Dolphins’ and Jacksonville Jaguars’ facilities on separate dates.

The challenge was created by the Florida Dairy Farmers and is part of Fuel Up to Play 60, an in-school nutrition and physical activity program launched by the National Dairy Council and the NFL to help encourage youth to lead healthier lives.

The team from New River Elementary, located in Wesley Chapel, was named as one of four central Florida finalists in March after the students’ recipe — “Cheesy Chicken and Bacon Quesadilla with Yogurt Veggie Dip” — was judged and chosen by members of the Dairy Council of Florida.

The four students decided to create a quesadilla recipe, since they all enjoy the entrée, and knew the contest required entrants to make an original recipe that included dairy products.

To make the Mexican classic healthier, they opted to add a few veggies — peppers and chopped spinach— to the recipe.

“I wasn’t sure about the peppers or the chopped spinach, but then I did end up liking it, because all of it was good together,” said Leidy, 10.“I don’t like them separate, but I do like them together.”

The team will have 60 minutes to prepare and present the quesadilla and veggie dip in front of the judges at One Buc Place. After making the meal once before, they are confident they can get the finished product

complete in 45 minutes or less.

To do so, group member has been assigned a job, whether it’s making the veggie dip, flipping the quesadilla or cutting it into football shapes.

“It’s fun cooking, but the best part is eating it,” Maldonado said with excitement.

“I like how we get to cook at One Buc Place.That’s my favorite part, and cooking in front of other people and the judges,” said

Keehn, a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

If the New River students win first place, they’ll each receive a tablet, and the school will receive a $2,500 prize pack.

The team’s program advisor and school’s P.E. teacher, Kathie Gillooly, said the entire initiative is beneficial, because it helps students learn about healthy habits and helps the school obtain additional funding.

“Since we brought this aspect into the school, I think it really helps them because they know “fuel up” means eating well, and “play 60” means they’re supposed to exercise for 60 minutes,” said Gillooly, who’s been an advisor for the cooking challenge all three years.

“I really think it’s an advantage that they’re doing this for kids. It’s also an advantage for schools getting that grant money,” she said.

Seven Oaks Pet Hospital expands

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Boxes still are being unpacked in his new home, but that doesn’t faze Duncan, the in-house cat at Seven Oaks Pet Hospital.

He’s content to catnap in his bed, atop a desk, while others do the heavy lifting.

For veterinarian Sree Reddy, the new location for Seven Oaks is a dream more than three years in the making.

Physically, the animal clinic is just about a half-mile from its previous location.

But, Reddy has come a long way since opening Seven Oaks in a shopping center, off State Road 56, nearly a decade ago.

In its new and more spacious building, the veterinary clinic is getting a fresh start, and adding to the growing retail boom along the state highway.

“We decided we were outgrowing our location,” said Reddy.“If two people were up front, it was full. We actually had people waiting outside.”

At about 5,000 square feet, Seven Oaks Pet Hospital is more than doubling its previous size.

Reddy made an immediate decision to buy a large plot of land when it went on the market. It fit perfectly with the desire to stay near his customer base, and to also do retail.

The new hospital has an expansive waiting area, five examination rooms, an isolation room, surgery, boarding and grooming services, and state-of-the art-technology, including the ability to do on-site ultra sounds.

Veterinarian Sree Reddy opened a new, larger animal clinic at his Pet & Fit Center. Reddy also will operate a pet store and lease space to self-defense school Hammerfist Krav Maga. A standalone Crossfit 14 gym will open soon in a building behind the animal clinic.

More than a pet hospital, the Pet & Fit Center is a commercial center, on a prime spot at 27027 State Road 56, around the corner from Buffalo Wild Wings and a short distance from The Shops at Wiregrass and Tampa Premium Outlets.

Reddy plans to open Pet Depot next door to his clinic. He will take his time, stocking the shop with pet food and accessories that his clients want.

Reddy plans to focus on American-made products, but he said,“I want to carry what my clients want,” he said.“Our goal is to mimic our neighborhood.”

Next door to the pet shop, another storefront is leased to a self-defense school – Hammerfist Krav Maga.

A nearly 12,000square-foot building behind the clinic will soon be home to CrossFit14, a gymnasium relocating also from Cypress Village’s plaza.

A ribbon cutting and grand opening probably is two months to three months away.

Reddy’s passion for caring for animals began in India with summers spent at his grandparents’ farm, populated with cows, goats and sheep.

“We’ve traveled all over the United States, from Maine to San Francisco.We took the whole family, the children and grandchildren, to Yellowstone,” Hugh added.

Having fun with each other, with their friends and with their family, has always been important to both of them.

“We’ve always had fun. You just can’t have a good marriage without some fun in it,” Nellie said.

They also share many fond memories of times they’ve shared together.

When they lived in San Antonio, they lived near the Alamo.

“Bands would be down there playing every night. Our windows would be open, and we could hear that soft romantic music,” Nellie said.“They had a watermelon

hut there. They served nothing but watermelon down by the water, so we’d have watermelon every night.”

Hugh thinks Nellie saved his life.

“I went into Afib and my heart was beating 160 beats a minute, and they took me to Tampa General,” Hugh said.

He spent seven days in intensive care, with Nellie at his side.

“He was heavily sedated,” Nellie said.

“They would say:‘He might can hear you.’

“I’d say,‘Hugh can you hear me? Squeeze my hand.’ He’d squeeze my hand,” Nellie said.

When they were young, Nellie said, she recalls imagining Hugh the way he looks today.

“That’s what I always wanted, for us to grow old together,” she said.“We’re actually still in love. It’s a much deeper love now.”

Hugh agreed:“She’s still my sweetheart.”

Preserving stories of Wesley Chapel’s past

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Motorists passing through Wesley Chapel today are likely to see it as a place on the move.

Within the past decade or so, a landscape once characterized by cattle ranches and citrus groves, has become a place becoming more widely known for its shopping, medical, education and residential options.

But, there are plenty of people who remember when the community was more closely associated with timber and turpentine operations, moonshine stills and gator hunts.

To help keep those memories alive, the Pasco-Hernando State College’s Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch hosted a Wesley Chapel History Fair.

The college intends to have the event every year, said Dr. Bonnie Clark, vice president of distance education and provost of the Porter Campus.

Speakers at the event were: • Madonna Jervis Wise, author of “Images of America: Wesley Chapel,” who talked about details about the community she unearthed during her research • J.Thomas Touchton, founding chairman of the Tampa Bay History Center, who brought along an 1884 map of Hernando County, when it included Wesley Chapel, though not called that at the time • Quinn Porter Miller, who shared stories about the Porters’ history in Wesley Chapel • Stephanie Bracknell Black, director of the Pioneer Florida Museum & Village, who shared stories about her grandfather, Lonnie Tucker • Angelo Liranzo, a librarian who talked about a project involving the digitizing of more than 100 years of newspapers, and how to access the data Because Wesley Chapel, unlike some communities, did not have a central downtown or a government, Wise relied on information she gleaned from homestead records, pension records and other public records, and interviews with families.

As she conducted her research, she learned about the close connections between families.

COURTESY OF MADONNA JERVIS WISE

Gwen Wells Ellerbee and Esther Burnside Boyette are washing clothes in this 1941 photo taken at a location off of Ellerbee Road.

“I’ve rarely seen families that cared so much about each other,”Wise said.

She was surprised to learn about the important role that music played in Wesley Chapel.

“There’s something in Southern Culture that’s known as the fifth Sunday sing.

Sometimes it is known as the singing convention,”Wise said, explaining people would gather for an entire day of singing and picnics.

“The First Baptist Church of Wesley Chapel was the center.After the convention, they had something that was known as ‘Dinner on the Ground.’This was an all-day thing.”

Wise also talked about the turpentine communities, truck patches, gator hunting and moonshining that were part of life in Wesley Chapel.

There aren’t many remaining historic houses in Wesley Chapel, and that’s mainly

because most were constructed of wood, Wise said. “We actually only found about three or four homesteads that were still standing.”

Quinn Porter Miller, another speaker, applauded the idea of annual history fairs.

“My dad would talk about all of these stories. My brother and I would say,‘We’ve just got to get them all in one room, give them some Scotch and hit record.’

“We didn’t get the chance before my dad passed and, thankfully, Madonna (Jervis Wise) was able to get these people together and really document all these wonderful stories and these things, otherwise, that would really go down with the people,” Miller said.

Miller told the crowd about her grandfather James Hatcher “Wiregrass” Porter, who moved into the area in 1946 with his wife, Martha.

Her dad, Don Porter, was 6 when the

family moved to Wesley Chapel.

“Wiregrass’ father, J.B. Porter, or J.B. or Pop Porter, as he was called, bought the land in 1937 from the Rockefeller Land Trust, for somewhere around $3 an acre,” Miller said.

When Wiregrass moved to the area, he and his family lived in an old frame house.

“My grandma Martha would cook these three hot meals a day on a Coleman stove.

No electricity, no running water up there until they built their red brick house on (State Road) 54 in 1960,” Miller said.

“I don’t know if anyone could have known how this area would grow,” Miller said.

But, the family has always known how important education is, and that’s what inspired the gift of 60 acres where Porter Campus now sits.

She recalled her father’s determination to help make that happen.

“He knew how important it was that a student could go from preschool through college without having to leave the Wesley Chapel community,” she said.

And, when Don Porter came to the college’s dedication ceremony shortly before his death, he was thrilled by the college, she said. She recalls him saying:“Can you believe this? Isn’t it wild?”

Touchton also recalled Don Porter’s vision for the area.

“I remember visiting with Don when he would show me the master plan, as it was being developed. He was willing to be patient, and he would point out different areas of the property – this will be residential, this will be shopping, this will be education, this will be sports. He was very, very proud of the vision, in conjunction with his brothers, of course, and I’m sure J.D. and Quinn,” Touchton said.

Black shared tales of the legendary Lonnie Tucker, known for his gator hunting abilities and his marksmanship.

To her, though, he was her grandpa.

She recalled asking him once to bring two big watermelons to share at school.

He did.

But, he also brought scores of small watermelons so all kinds of people got to take one home.

The annual history fair aims to help prevent such memories from fading away.

Eight-year-old Sophia Contino, a Wesley Chapel resident and Sand Pine Elementary student, set out to raise money through lemonade stands and online fundraising, in an effort to raise money for local K-9 units that lacked proper protective equipment.

In recognition of the second-grader’s efforts to help fund K-9 bulletproof vests, Novus Medical Detox Center contributed $2,400 to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office for the purchase of additional vests.

The Sand Pine student also was given an award ceremony at the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, where Kent Runyon, Novus’ vice president of community relations, and Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco presented her with awards to honor her for raising awareness for the county’s four-legged crime fighters.

WIREGRASS, from page 1A sells hard-to-find, limited edition sneakers.

VisionWorks is a national eye care chain that will open in fall 2016 on an outparcel in front of Moe’s Southwest Grill, near Barnes & Noble Booksellers. The shop sells exclusive brand-name frames, lenses, sunglasses and accessories, and provides eye health care, including examinations for corrective lenses or contacts.

Rocket Fizz Soda Pop & Candy Shop will appeal to sweet tooths, at its spot near JC Penney. The shop, which is opening in spring, is a nostalgic trip back to the 1940s and ’50s, with a soda fountain flair.“It’s got a cool, hip flavor to it,” Lenners said.

Customers can browse the shelves for retro and gag gifts, concert and movie posters, and tin signs.

MUSIC, from page 1A Tampa Bay professors of music at the University of South Florida and at the Ybor City campus of Hillsborough Community College.

The Florida and International Young Soloist Program seeks to identify talented musicians, ages 14 through 26, who have a disability.The intention is to increase the musician’s likelihood of having a successful career in the arts, according to a news release from the VSA Florida, at the University of South Florida.

The program delivers opportunities for serious music students to showcase their abilities at venues throughout Florida.

In a partnership with the Florida Orchestra and Ashley Furniture, each winner will perform at Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg in October at the orchestra’s annual Concert in the Park.

The international award is presented to four outstanding musicians, two from the United States and the other two from the international arena.

Winners of the international competition each receive a $2,500 award, professional development and the opportunity to perform at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Williams has learned to play by listening to music and observing other pianists, on YouTube and in other venues.

He has performed at various events and in competitions.

One highlight so far was an appearance at a conference in Orlando for the Center for Autism and Related Disabilities, where he performed before Temple Grandin.

Grandin is perhaps the most prominent author and speaker, who has autism. She didn’t speak until she was 3, and her parents, at one point, were told she should be institutionalized.

VomFASS Oils, Vinegars, Spirits & Wines will open in late spring near Center Court.

The shop sells premium cooking oils, balsamics, vinegar specialties and an exclusive choice of fruit balsamic vinegars. Spirits, liqueurs and wines also will be available.

3D Musketeers Printing sells custom, color printed three-dimensional figurines.

Irish 31 is known to its customers at “The People’s Pub.” The ale house, near Panera Bread, will serve up traditional Irish food, vegetarian dishes, Southern favorites and comfort foods, along with a large selection of beers, wine and specialty cocktails.

The eatery’s name in part is from founder Jay Mize, who wore jersey number 31 as a member of the University of South Florida’s football squad.A fall opening is planned.

“It’s going to be a nice restaurant with Irish appeal to it,” said Lenners.“It will add extra flavor (to the mall).”

Williams’ mother — Stephanie Stevens — understands the frustrations that parents face when they have a child with autism.

Williams, like Grandin, was diagnosed at age 3.

“He wasn’t talking. He wasn’t progressing as quickly as he should,” Stevens said.

The doctors were not much help.

“People were very much in the dark about autism” she said.

She was raising her son as a single mother, doing shiftwork in London.

She decided to move to the United States in 2007 to join most of her family members, who were already living here.

Since then, she has married her husband, Ralph, who has been a tremendous source of support for her and her son.

She credits faith for helping her son succeed in music, despite his difficulties.

“People prayed over him, constantly.And, my belief is that it was that power of prayer that has helped him overcome these things,” she said, referring to challenges posed by autism.

Williams, who graduated from Wesley Chapel High School, said he plays piano daily, usually twice a day.

He handles all kinds of musical gigs — helping to raise funds for charities and to earn money.

He hopes to pursue a career that involves music, too.

One of his goals is to use his music to help raise awareness about autism, he said.

He’s also delighted to be named one of the top three soloists in Florida in the VSA competition.

“I felt quite special,” he said.“I was a bit surprised, actually.”

His mom is thrilled, too.

“For him to be where he is now, to me, is a blessing,” she said.

“It just shows what you can do, no matter what your difficulties or disabilities.”

This time, Santa is the recipient

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Usually, Santa is on the giving end of things.

But, not this time.

Santa Paul, also known as Paul Bartell, recently received an Honorary Paul Harris Fellow Award for Community Service from the Wesley Chapel Rotary Club.

The award was presented on March 8 at Hunter’s Green Country Club, during the Rotary of Wesley Chapel Noon’s first Foundation Dinner, an event the club plans to host every year.

Bartell was recognized for the many good deeds he performs, both undercover as Santa Paul, and more directly through his Relay for Life activities.

Bartell and his wife also have been heavily involved in their children’s schools, have worked to raise scholarship funds to honor their son, Sean, who died from a rare condition at the age of 16, and for their tradition of opening their home at the holidays to spread Christmas cheer.

Santa Paul is widely known around Wesley Chapel.

He’s been playing Santa for charity since 1995.

He volunteers for eight schools in Pasco and one in Hillsborough County.

He dons his Santa costume so schools can raise money through “Cookies with Santa” or “Photos with Santa” events. Over the years, he’s played Santa to roughly 30,000 children, include 3,750 in 2015.

He and his wife, Jamie, also have opened their home during the holidays.As Santa and Mrs. Claus, they share cookies, fudge, punch and music at their home, which is decked out to the max.Those visiting can also have their photo taken with Santa in his sleigh,

To-go boxes will be available.

and Santa gives a gift to each child who visits. Last year, 847 guests dropped by.

Bartell also has been involved with Relay for Life since 1991, serving as a team captain for the last eight years.

He also has been active at his children’s schools since 2003.

After their 16-year-old son died, Bartell and his wife rallied to pass on Sean’s legacy by creating a memorial scholarship.This year, they plan to give four $1,000 scholarships.

Bartell also does his Santa gig for company Christmas parties, using the money he earns from them to help support the scholarship fund and to buy presents for children visiting his home during the holidays.

Bartell was both surprised and delighted to receive the Rotary Club’s honor, particularly in light of the caliber of the other nominees, he said.

In a Facebook posting, he said: “This award is a great honor in the Rotary community, and I am truly honored to have been chosen.”

Senior nears Sunlake home run record

By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

From Courtney Durbin to Stephanie Frances, Sunlake softball coach Nelson Garcia has seen his fair share of power hitters in his five seasons at the school.

Perhaps none is more powerful than senior catcher/third baseman Gianna Basilone, who leads all Tampa Bay area hitters with seven home runs, through 19 games. One more dinger and she’ll tie Sunlake’s singleseason home run record set by Samantha Dittman in 2009. In addition to her home run total, Basilone has 28 RBIs to go along with an eye-popping .448 batting average.

The senior’s performance, both at the plate and behind the plate, has led to a scholarship offer from Oklahoma State University, which is coached by Kenny Gajewski, a former assistant with the Florida Gators.

The Sunlake slugger is still waiting on a financial package from the university before she commits.

Coach Garcia called Basilone a “coach’s dream” because of work ethic, leadership and, of course, on-field results.

“You get these certain players, I won’t say every year, but you get these players, you can’t replace them. They’re irreplaceable,” Garcia said.“Somebody can come in and say they can hit eight home runs or nine home runs, but it doesn’t replace these players.As people, they’re awesome, and as teammates and leaders. It’s the same thing with (former

Sunlake senior Gianna Basilone is one of the top power hitters in the Tampa Bay area. She has a scholarship offer on the table from Oklahoma State University.

players) Stephanie Francis or Courtney Durbin.”

While Basilone has always been known for the pop her in her bat—she mashed six home runs last season—she’s become an even more imposing slugger after Garcia implemented a team weight-training program in the offseason.

The program has helped Basilone get stronger and quicker — aspects that are imperative for making an impact at the Division I level.

“There’s always things I can like improve on,” said Basilone, who started attending Sunlake as a sophomore after moving from Pittsburgh.“It’s such a higher pace up in college.”

As Basilone has filled up the stat sheet, some opposing teams have started to approach her at-bats differently. Instead of giving her pitches to hit, teams have resorted to giving her a free pass to avoid facing her.

“After my first few at-bats, they try to find a weakness that I have. Or, some people just

walk me or hit me,” Basilone said.

“There was one game (against Hudson on Feb. 26) she had two home runs. ...I was surprised they pitched to her the second time,” Garcia said, adding,“I wouldn’t have pitched to her.”

The strategy of avoiding Basilone’s bat only works so well, as Sunlake (13-7) features a lineup with seven everyday players batting over .350.

In his lineups, Garcia opts to place senior Cassidy Roberts (.435 batting average, 16 RBIs) ahead of Basilone, and freshman sensation Shelby Lansing (.438. 20 RBIs) behind her in the lineup.

“I like to try to do to people what the (New York) Yankees used to do from a few years ago,” Garcia said.“I want (teams) to be tired by the time they get through our order.Then we can go small ball.”

With a 7-3-district mark, the Seahawks have aspirations of winning their district, and making a deep run into the postseason.

“I’ve told these girls from Day 1 when we started practicing that I’m very confident that if we play our game, and stay within ourselves, we can go out and compete against anybody out there,” Garcia said.

Basilone added this year’s team is “definitely” the best one she’s been on in her three seasons at Sunlake.

“All the girls that I’m playing with want to go to college, and they all are here for a reason,” she said. “They give their full effort...and they’re just all really competitive.

“That’s how we all click, too.”

Former pro cyclist organizes community rides

By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

A former professional cyclist has created a weekend community cycling ride in Dade City that welcomes riders of all skill levels.

The ride, organized by Josh and Kaleigh Thornton, takes place each Saturday at 8 a.m., at the parking lot next to 14112 Eighth Street in Dade City.

Rides are typically two hours long, with varying paces, depending on each member’s skill level.

Thornton, a professional cyclist from 2005 to 2009 and former member of the U.S. National Team, wanted to create a community ride to promote the cycling industry and bike advocacy in the area.

He said there’s currently a core group of 10 to 15 riders that have been showing up each Saturday over the past few months.

“It’s a really good ride, because it truly is for all skill levels,”Thornton, 37, said.“There’s other rides that are very fast and for very skilled riders, and a lot of people are intimidated by that, so this is kind of neat because it’s for anyone. We wanted something that really started in Dade City; there was nothing like that.”

“There’s no cost. Just show up and go, and hopefully hang out and meet some new people,” he added.

Throughout the course of the two-hour ride, the cyclists usually log about 30 miles, pedaling at an average pace of 13 mph to 15 mph. However, some less-experienced riders can opt to start out slow, and work their way up.

Thornton noted the group will typically

The Sunlake girls weightlifting program was recently awarded the Sunshine Athletic Conference (SAC) championship for the 2015-2016 season. Senior Brianna Anderson, right, was named Lifter of the Year, while Denise Garcia was named Coach of the Year.

“head out toward the hills” and ride along Darby Road. Other times, they’ll head north and hop on the Withlacoochee Trail.

“The roads that we pick are generally the less-traveled roads.That’s generally how most cyclists try to think,” he said.“We do have a couple different routes that we’ve done.”

Instead of trying Josh Thornton to finish first, the rides are more about enjoying the scenery, and getting in some early weekend exercise.

“We have a protective group; we’re looking out for the other riders,”Thornton said.

“You ride differently when you’re thinking like that as opposed to where you’re muscling around with the guys, jockeying for position.”

While still a small group,Thornton hopes the local rides will grow to the point where there can be multiple groups — like an A, B and C group —that can more closely match each rider’s skill level.

Although no longer a professional racer, Thornton is still very much involved in the cycling industry.

He operates a bike promotions and coaching business called Wicked Awesome Racing, and has also spawned a cyclo-cross racing series.

As opposed to a road race on pavement,

A regular group of about 10 to 15 people has been taking part in the rides for the past few months.

Thornton’s Wicked Awesome Racing Series events are held on closed courses, like at Stanley Park in Lacoochee.

According to Thornton, cyclo-cross is currently the fastest growing form of cycling.

“It’s a much different form of cycling,” said Thornton, who competed in both road races and closed-circuit races (criteriums) as a professional.“It’s almost like a minor steeplechase kind of a race. It reminds me of cross-country in high school. You have a modified road bike— a little bit wider tires with knobs on them and the brakes are more like a mountain bike style brake.”

“The cool part about it is it’s a seven- to

eight-minute loop, so you see the (racers) multiple times. It has this spectator-friendly aspect to it that you really don’t get when you go to a road race,” he added.

With Pasco County’s rolling hills and varying elevation points, the area offers an ideal setting for the cyclo-cross races, Thornton said.

“I’m from New England originally, and people see photos of (the course) and they don’t believe its Florida, because they think it’s flat as a pancake and there’s (only) beaches here,” he said.

Seed of idea takes root in garden

By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

onstruction trailers once cluttered the vacant lot on a hilly rise across from Florida Hospital Zephyrhills.

Now, a community garden is taking root there, as hospital employees, one by one, build garden beds that will sprout with vegetables, flowers and herbs.

The Florida Hospital Zephyrhills CREATION Health Community Garden sits behind a white picket fence, on Dairy Road directly behind the hospital.

The garden is a complementary piece to the hospital’s new CREATION Health Wellness Center.

The center offers gym memberships, personal training, a Kid Zone play area, free cooking demonstrations, healthy lifestyle seminars and more.

“This is kind of tying it all together,” said Kelley Sasser, the hospital’s director of process improvement.

Garden beds can be rented by anyone in the community for $75 annually, with no charge for the soil.

Some beds are built tall enough to accommodate gardeners with mobility issues.

Sasser and David Force, who works in the same department as a specialist, are the garden’s promoters.

Force brings gardening expertise to the project; Sasser is a passionate cheerleader.

“We’ve taken the garden under our wings,” Sasser said.“That is what (David) eats and breathes.”

Force credits his grandmother with giving him a love of gardening.

He grew up in Zephyrhills and Dade City, but every summer he visited his grandmother who could coax plants to grow in the worst of conditions.

“She always had a garden,” he said.“This was in north Florida in the middle of sand.”

It was a happy time, he said.“That’s some of my best memories.”

Initially, Force wanted to create a garden for hospital volunteers.

“The hospital thought that was a good idea but wanted to go further,” Force added.

It took nearly three years from merely having an idea to actually digging in the dirt, but on March 16, the first of 70 garden beds were nailed together and filled with fertile soil.

Force has about 500 plants growing in a small greenhouse, from seeds donated by Lowe’s home improvement store in Zephyrhills.

Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, squash, lavender and cilantro are among the plants ready to sprout. Ultimately, these fresh veggies and herbs could find their way to the hospital’s cafeteria or into a cooking demo at the wellness center.

One long-range goal is to have enough community involvement that a farmer’s market might be held once a month, Force said.

Or, maybe a cooperative, he added, “which would be wonderful.”

At the mid-March kickoff, hospital employees walked over throughout the morning and into the lunch hour, to help with the gardening tasks.

The landmark Zephyrhills’ water tower looms just behind Florida Hospital Zephyrhills’ CREATION Health Community Garden. Garden beds, aquaponics, butterfly gardens and an educational pavilion will make up the 2-acre garden.

Florida Hospital Zephyrhills’ Brett Uravich and Kim Friedmeyer select lumber for building raised garden beds.

Several volunteers sported T-shirts with the message, “Doing Good in the Neighborhood.”

Florida Hospital Zephyrhills is the only hospital in the area with a community garden.As one of 45 hospitals in the Adventist Health System, it is the second hospital in the system to start a community garden.The first started at an Adventist Hospital in Castle Rock, Colorado.

A gazebo, garden shed and a small greenhouse are on-site.Walkways and landscaping give the 2-acre garden a tranquil, inviting ambiance.

Aquaponics, an education pavilion, a butterfly garden and a small orchard will be added during the second phase.

Benches also will be placed throughout the garden, which now is dotted with red and yellow hibiscus in ceramic planters.

The garden also nurtures the spirit.

It embraces the tenants of the Adventist faith and lifestyle, including trust, Casio Jones smooths top soil into one of the new raised garoutlook and nutrition, said den beds.

David Force, a process improvement specialist, brought the idea of a community garden to managers at Florida Hospital Zephyrhills. He learned to love gardening from his grandmother.

David Force moves fresh top soil into one of the many raised garden beds that will be available for participants at Florida Hospital Zephyrhills’ CREATION Health Community Garden.

Casio Jones, director of the hospitals’ wellness center.

“You’re building oneness with the Lord,” Jones said.

There are social bonds that also knit a community together.

“That increases your ability to see things in a positive way,” he said. “You plant and you reap something good. I just know this is going to be an opportunity for us to partner with our community better.”

quiet lunches in the gazebo, and creating salads from the vegetables she’ll grow in the garden.

Her son donated funds to buy the gazebo, and she served on the hospital’s community garden committee.

“My big thing is teaching the next generation to do sustained gardening, and to know where their food comes from,” said Forbes-Thorne, the hospital’s rehabilitation director.“I see how real this is.This is gold right here.”

Dogs’ Day not a complete washout Early rain may have forced an early day, but Dogs’ Day in Dade City still went on with dogs and their humans. Sponsors for the event were the Dade City Youth Council, Dog-Mania & Cats, Farmer’s Feed Depot, Pet Supermarket, Dade City Animal Clinic, and The Garden Café.

The NJROTC of Pasco High School presented the colors, and served as volunteers. Olivia Butler, Miss Pasco County, sang the National Anthem, started the dog parade and served as one of the judges in various contests.

Dade City Mayor Camille Hernandez welcomed everyone, and the Youth Council assisted vendors in setting up and taking down tents.

Due to the rain, the raffle ticket sales will be extended until April 16, and winning tickets will be selected on April 17.Tickets can be purchased at Farmer’s Feed Depot, 14648 Seventh St., in Dade City. The proceeds will go to Dogs’ Day in Dade City.

For information, call (352) 567-3568.
