This is what Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel’s new emergency facility, being built off State Road 54 in Land O’ Lakes, will look like.

Emergency medical help coming to Central Pasco

By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel is again expanding its services, this time setting up a freestanding emergency department in Land O’ Lakes.

The facility, which is expected to be completed by January of 2018, will bring emergency medical assistance closer to residents of Central Pasco County. The new 18,000-square-foot center will be near the entrance to Bexley, a new community being built off of State Road 54, just east of the Suncoast Parkway in Pasco County.

The facility will offer full-service emergency care, 24 hours a day, and will be staffed by board-certified emergency medicine physicians and nurses that are highly

trained in emergency care.

The 24-bed facility also will have state-ofthe-art on-site imaging services such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT scans and laboratory services.

Dignitaries gathered at the site for an April 6 formal groundbreaking ceremony.

Speakers included Denyse Bales-Chubb, president and CEO of Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel, Pasco County Commission Chairman Mike Moore and Pasco County Fire Chief Timothy Reardon.

“Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel is committed to our mission of extending the healing ministry of Christ,” Bales-Chubb said.

Pasco County will host an open house to find out if area residents in Wesley Chapel want to open up roads between Pasco and Hillsborough County.

The public is invited to Pasco-Hernando State College on April 18 to make comments and get answers on three potential road projects from members of the county’s Metropolitan Planning Organization.

The Wesley Chapel Roadways Connections Study wants to hear from the public regarding possible connections between: • Kinnan Street and Mansfield Boulevard • Meadow Pointe Boulevard to K-Bar Ranch Boulevard • Wyndfields Boulevard into K-Bar Ranch “We are unbiased.We want to hear from residents, looking at the negatives and positives,” said Ali Atefi, transportation engineer for the county’s Metropolitan Planning Organization. “We’re getting information from both sides, connecting or not connecting,” he said.

A second meeting would be scheduled in the future to review feedback from the public.

An online survey also is being considered to gather additional views on whether to take on these projects,Atefi said.

The study could take up to a year to complete, he added.

“With that mission, we need to make sure that we have emergency services that are convenient to where our community lives and works.

“This facility will provide the same quality care that our patients receive at our main campus,” she said.

Pasco County Commission Chairman Mike Moore enthusiastically welcomed the addition of the new facility to Central Pasco.

“It seems like yesterday that we were just breaking ground at the expansion of the Wesley Chapel Florida Hospital facility,” See MEDICAL, page 15A

Committee looking at ways to fund schools

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

The Pasco County School Board is seeking to nearly double impact fees charged to new residential construction to help foot the bill for new schools, but a committee studying the issue wants to know about other possible sources of funding before making a recommendation.

There’s no doubt that Pasco County’s residential growth is generating increased enrollment, outpacing the school district’s ability to pay for new schools.

But, the 10-member School Infrastructure Funding Committee wants more information before making its recommendation to the Pasco County Commission on the school board’s proposed impact fee hikes.

The county commission, not the school board, has the authority to impose impact fees.

The school board justifies the need for an increase by pointing to an impact fee study it commissioned that was completed

by Maryland-based consulting firm,Tischler Bise.

The impact fee study calls for increasing school impact fees on new homes from $4,828 to $9,174 for single-family detached; from $1,740 to $3,693 for single-family attached; from $2,843 to $5,634 for mobile homes; and, from $1,855 to $5,382 for multifamily.

Impact fees are expected to pay for new growth, and are assessed against new residential construction, excluding 55 and older communities.

Increased revenues from impact fees could be used to build new schools, add capacity to existing schools, purchase buses,

furniture and fixtures.

Before deciding what it wants to do, the Pasco County Commission appointed the infrastructure funding committee to study the issue and bring back a recommendation.

That committee has met twice already and expects to have at least two more sessions before taking a vote on its recommendation.

At its most recent meeting, on April 5, the committee sought additional information on what schools the district expects to build next, how much land the district owns for schools and whether any of it could be sold to raise revenue now, and whether the district could pursue other sources of revenue, such as general obligation bonds or real estate transfer taxes.

Committee member Scott Sheridan asked if the school district could sell some of the land it has banked for future school

sites, to help raise money to build schools now.

The school district isn’t opposed to selling some of its land, but even if it did, it would fall far short of addressing its funding needs, said Chris Williams, director of planning.

But, Williams also noted:“Most of these sites are in future developments. It might be 10 or 15 years in the future, but if I don’t secure my school sites up front, they’re not there for me later on.”

The school district doesn’t oppose using general obligation bonds to build schools, but that would require approval by voters and a referendum couldn’t be put on the ballot until 2018, said Ray Gadd, deputy superintendent for Pasco County Schools.

A real estate transfer tax is another potential source of revenue, but the idea has been broached twice with members of the local legislative delegation and rejected both times, said David Goldstein, chief assistant county attorney.

Goldstein noted an impact fee increase

could be adopted with the provision of reducing it, if revenue became available from a general obligation bond or another source.

Committee member Lisa Motsinger said the committee needs to know what sources of revenue might be available beyond merely doubling impact fees.

“We’re trying to understand what the sources are, so we can help give you some ideas on recommendations on school funding or the capital plan,” she said.

Another committee member asked for a breakdown of how much a new residence must pay in impact fees.

That breakdown is among the items expected to be discussed at the group’s next meeting set for April 18, 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The committee also has scheduled another meeting, April 26, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Both sessions are open to the public and will be at Rasmussen College, 18600 Fernview St., Rooms 102 and 103, in Land O’ Lakes.

The time has come! Do you recall me saying that we have an “Egg in a Bag” (formerly Egg N’ Bag) once a month? Well, this was the last one of the season. I guess all good things must come to an end.

Because of the fact that the season is starting to wind down, and many of our residents have already returned to their summer homes or have taken extended getaways, the attendance is starting to dwindle.

Still, for the last “Egg in a Bag” on April 1, more than 80 people were served.

It started with Galen Parker saying grace, while the rest of the people bowed their heads and observed a moment of silence.

Tables were then called to make their omelets from various ingredients on the table.There was bacon, ham, cheese, onions, mushrooms, green peppers and Jalapeno peppers.

The breakfast also included sausage gravy, biscuits and hash-brown potatoes, plus coffee and orange juice.

The ingredients that you chose were

added to the eggs or egg beaters already in a cup.

At the end of the line, the entire contents of the cup were put in a bag, and the bag was then sealed, and you took it to the cooks to prepare it.

Several minutes later, a delicious omelet was presented to you.

The helpers and kitchen helpers included Sue and Galen Parker, Clayton and Carol George, Jim and Judie Leitzke, and Doris Sutfin.

Our sincere thanks go out to all of them.

They did a wonderful job on this particular day, and the entire season.

Ten residents met at the community center April 3 to play a game of Mexican Train.

It may have been a relatively small group, but we all had loads of fun and, as usual, we had a nice conversation among us.

We had two tables of five, and it was a nice little group.

We always have fun at dominoes, which is held once a week on Mondays.

This particular game was introduced by Eugene and Nancy Martin, and it is one of our favorite activities at Grand Horizons.

NATURE NOTES

Back to the basics in plant propagation: Saving seeds

By Nicole Pinson

Special to The Laker/Lutz News

Seeds help us save money because saving seed is cheaper than buying seeds. We can grow different types of plants, adding more interest to our garden, and we can share plants grown by seed with others.

You can save seeds from many common plants, such as marigolds, salvias, herbs and vegetables. Save seeds of the plants and vegetables you like and that do well in your garden.

Many native plants produce seeds that support pollinators such as bees, wasps and flies. The plants and their seeds promote biodiversity and food security. Seed banks throughout the world save and protect plant seeds in climate-controlled vaults so we have access to them in case of an emergency or environmental disaster.

Seeds are diverse.

We use them to grow new plants, we eat them, and we use them in cooking.

It’s easier to grow plants from heirloom seeds than it to grow plants from hybrid seeds. Heirloom plants are open-pollinated.

Hybrid plants are cross-pollinated between two different species or varieties for specific, desired traits. When hybrid plants produce seed, the next generation may not have the same characteristics as the parent plant. You can experiment and save seeds from a hybrid plant, but you don’t know what the offspring will look like.

Seeds are amazing!

They have everything they need to survive in their own containers, and they wait for the right conditions to sprout. Seeds can be dry or wet. Dry seeds include acorns and marigold seeds.Wet seeds include eggplant and tomato seeds.

Seeds need time to dry. If you pick them too early, they may mildew.This is especially common with bean pods picked too early.

Basil is an example of an easy-to-grow dry seed. Let a few old flower heads go to seed. Once dry, cut off the flower heads and shake out the seeds. Store them in a container until ready to plant. I start them under a

glass cloche in starter pots.The glass cloche acts like a mini terrarium, and keeps the seeds moist and protected.

Some people use blossom bags to save seeds.You can also use mesh bags out of the laundry section or muslin bags from a local brewery. Place the bag over the blossom to protect the seeds and to allow them to dry out.The bag collects the seeds as they dry, protecting them from birds and wildlife, wind or rain.

Harvest wet seeds, such as eggplants, when beyond market maturity. Market maturity is when vegetables are ready to be eaten. However, when saving these seeds, you want to make sure the vegetables are little “past their prime.” For example, if you open an eggplant ready to use in a recipe, you can try to save the seeds, but the seeds are tiny and not quite mature. You would want to “sacrifice” two vegetables, and let them mature before you save the seeds.

Otherwise, you’ll harvest too early and the seed won’t germinate. Eggplants are very easy to grow from seed.

Clean the seeds saved from wet fruit like

tomatoes and squash. These seeds have a coating or fleshy fruit that encloses them and keeps them from sprouting on their own until favorable growing conditions or when ready to be eaten by an animal in a brightly colored fruit.

Place wet seeds in a bowl of water.Wipe off the pulp and fleshy parts. Dry them completely on parchment paper, fine mesh screen or a paper towel. If you use a paper towel, the seeds will stick. However, Master Gardener Nancy Ham stores the entire paper towel in a large zip-top bag, and cuts the seeds out and plants them, along with the paper towel, when needed.

There are three main types of plants: annuals, biennials and perennials. This will help you learn when to save seeds.Annuals (like marigolds) grow and set seed in one year or growing season. Biennials grow in the first year and then set seed the following year. Parsley is an example of a biennial plant. Other examples are collards, kale, onions, garlic, radishes and carrots.

Perennial plants, and many ornamentals, live year after year. Examples of perennial

landscape plants include blackberry lily, with a blackberry-like seedpod, chives, and sage.

You don’t need to spend money on a fancy container to store your seeds.You can use (and recycle) old prescription bottles, return mail envelopes, spice jars and glass jars. Always be sure to save your original seed packet so you have your reference information.

Seeds need three conditions for storage: dry, dark and cool. Good examples include a linen closet or refrigerator.

Proper labeling is essential.

Seeds are living organisms, and they have a lifespan.You’ll want to note the species or common name, variety, source and year harvested.

Remember, seeds can preserve our food diversity, both for humans and wildlife, and save us money. Look around your garden and see what “free” seeds you can find.Try saving seed from one plant or vegetable so you can grow new plants or share them with friends.

Asturia Thanks Area Realtors At A Unique Oyster Roast

I

t has been less than a year since the first residents began moving into their new homes in Asturia, a beautiful master-planned community being developed in Odessa.

And, in this short time, area Realtors have embraced the community and recommended its outdoor lifestyle and beautiful homes to their clients — many who now call Asturia home.

To thank area Realtors for their support, Asturia recently hosted an evening Oyster Roast in the community’s beautiful Amenity Center.

Realtors were entertained by local Bluegrass Band HWY 41 SOUTH, and enjoyed a unique buffet catered

by Hungry Harry’s Family Bar-BQue, which included pulled pork, raw oysters and delicious roasted parmesan oysters.

Asturia is also a community where residents quickly become friends with their new neighbors, coming together at family events hosted by the developer, while enjoying the community’s many amenities, nature trails and playgrounds.

In addition to friendly neighbors and excellent schools, new homes continue to go up at a fast pace in Asturia because of the many choices families have with a variety of singlefamily home sites and home styles.

8 BEAUTIFUL MODELS

Set against a backdrop of serene natural wetland preserves, neighborhood parks and open green spaces,

residential lots at Asturia are some of the most beautiful homes sites in the Tampa area.

The community offers a variety of single-family home sites and home styles from award-winning builders Ashton Woods and David Weekley Homes, both which are showcased in this year’s Parade of Homes, until the end of April. Both builders have four model homes that are open for tour daily.

UNIQUE AMENITIES

With its modern and unique architectural design, the Amenity Center is at the heart of the new community. At over 5,800 square feet, the Amenity Center includes a community clubhouse, a fully equipped state-of-the-art fitness center, covered outdoor living rooms, a luxurious resort-style swimming pool, and expansive lawn areas for recreation.

“Our new Amenity Center focuses

on a healthy lifestyle and complements the best-in-class home styles provided by Ashton Woods and David Weekley Homes. Asturia has truly raised the bar,” said Lane Gardner, managing director of Hines, the developer of Asturia.

Asturia is located on State Road 54, just west of the Suncoast Parkway. For more information, go to AsturiaFlorida.com, or call (813) 227-4148.

Hop On Down The Bunny Trail To Connerton

T

he Parade of Homes continues all month long until April 30 at Connerton. In addition to our beautiful homes, did you know that Connerton has a wonderful trail system? So, bring your walking shoes, and after touring our model homes, take a walk on one of our trails.

This year, the Showcase Community is right in your own backyard in Land O’ Lakes. Start your tour at Club Connerton and receive a coupon for a free dessert with purchase of an extra value meal at the Connerton McDonalds. You will then have the opportunity to visit our newly designed Visitor Center located inside our 10,000-sq-ft. clubhouse.

Our five Parade homes are fully furnished models presented by four of the Tampa Bay’s finest builders.

There is no charge to tour the model homes by M/I Homes, Taylor Morrison, Homes by WestBay and Lennar, all in one convenient location.

Since the Parade’s opening on April 1, hundreds of visitors have toured Connerton for the first time, and several families have decided to make Connerton their new home!

Connerton is hosting special activities or tasting events every weekend during the Parade. This coming Saturday is an Easter egg hunt for the kids at all of our models. One lucky child per builder will find the “Golden Ticket” that will yield a special prize!

Some models will be closed on Easter Sunday to allow the sales consultants time to celebrate the holiday with their families. Be sure to check the Connerton website, Connerton.com for Easter Sunday model hours.

Connerton is especially proud to be the Showcase Community, and has teamed up with Lennar and Operation Finally Home, to provide a mortgage-free home to the David Roca family. David is a U.S. Army Veteran who served in Iraq. David is highly regarded for his strong work ethic and devotion to duty, exemplified by his Valor Device, an award he received for saving his Commander’s life in battle.

He has also received a number of other accolades during his time in service, including an Army Commendation Medal, Joint Meritorious Unit Award, Army Good Conduct Medal and more.

Operation Finally Home is a national, nonprofit organization with a unique network of experienced builders, suppliers and supporters dedicated to building homes for wounded, ill or injured veterans, and

their families. The Roca Family will receive the keys to their home on Saturday, April 29. More information will follow.

If you enjoy touring new homes, whether it’s because you’re in the market for a new home, or you just like looking for decorating ideas, be sure to visit this year’s Showcase Community. Connerton has so much to offer with its miles of hiking and biking trails, its beautiful conserva-

The Community of

tion areas and ponds, its quality schools, wonderful neighbors and a 10,000-sq-ft clubhouse with resort style pool, fitness center, tennis and basketball courts, and activities for all ages.

The Parade runs all of April and we’ve packed the entire month with special events you won’t want to miss.

Our exceptional builders have an array of offerings to highlight the latest building trends, interior designs and new home styles you’ve got to see to believe. So, don’t miss your best chance to find your next dream home at Connerton, the leader of the parade.

Connerton Proud!

By Stew Gibbons

Connerton General Manager

T

his year, the Tampa Bay Builders Association has chosen Connerton in Land O’ Lakes as its Showcase Community for the 2017 Parade of Homes.

As a Connerton resident and immediate past president of the TBBA, I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of this beautiful community, all that it stands for and all that it has to offer.

There is a so much for you to see when you tour Connerton. The Parade continues through April 30, so there is still plenty of time to stop by.

Your first stop should be at Club Connerton, the epicenter of activity for our residents. Our new Visitor Center gives you information about Connerton’s fascinating history.

After this overview, you can tour our 10,000-square-foot clubhouse that features a beautiful resort-style pool, expansive fitness center, kids’ room, multipurpose room and a delightful café. We also have basketball, tennis and pickle ball courts.

Our newest amenity was just announced by Ashley Becker, our representative from Connerton’s developer, Hayman Woods. Ashley is the person behind the positive resurgence of Connerton.

“We’ve added a brand new outdoor kitchen for neighborhood barbeques, a fire pit where friends can gather in the evenings, and will soon be adding outdoor ping-pong and pool tables,” said Ashley.

“These fun features enhance the family friendly atmosphere Connerton has always offered.”

“We want to make it easy for our residents to meet their neighbors and to enjoy the fabulous Florida lifestyle,” Ashley continues. “Our goal is to make Connerton the premiere neighborhood in central Pasco County.”

After touring our clubhouse, I want to personally invite you to visit Connerton’s five Parade of Homes models, offered by our four builders —Homes by WestBay, Taylor Morrison, M/I Homes and Lennar.

Don’t miss this opportunity to view the latest in home design and the beauty of Connerton. We understand that you are looking for more than a just a home — you want a community that maximizes the Florida lifestyle, gives you toprated schools, and features walking and biking trails to relax and get away from the stresses of everyday life.

This is what Connerton is all about! Please come by and visit — you may just want to stay!

Smart Home Innovations

I

nnovations in smart technology continue to make our lives easier, and that extends to appliances and amenities for added convenience and control. Here are three to consider.

MULTITASKING REFRIGERATORS

Gone is the era when your refrigerator merely kept your dairy and produce chilled. These days, manufacturers feature a Keurig K-Cup brewing system, so you can conveniently brew your morning cup of java without having to prepare the coffeepot or cue up an additional machine.

SMARTER FIREPLACES

Your typical fireplace adds comfort, coziness and warmth to one specific room. But, sometimes you want to enjoy the ambience and aesthetic benefits of the fire without all the heat.

Smart technologies divert some of your fireplace’s thermal energy to other rooms, redirecting up to 50 percent of its heat to another room or within your home. Plus, heat management tools offer homeown-

April 12, 2017

ers greater flexibility and control, giving them a truly customized fireside experience.

The goal is to allow you to enjoy the ambience of your fireplace throughout the year, regardless of the weather outside. To learn more about heat management options and unique fireplace installations, visit HeatnGlo.com.

DOUBLE-DUTY WASHERS

We all have days when we generate a small but mighty load of laundry -- after a muddy soccer game is one example -- and new technology is making it easier to take care of those loads without wasting water, detergent or effort.

Many manufacturers now offer separate compartments for small loads, while others have added convenience by introducing units that wash and steam clean clothes, eliminating a trip to the dry cleaners.

When making home upgrades, first consider those that promise to make life more convenient and comfortable for your family.

What to Know Before Replacing Home Flooring

W

hether you are building a new house or making upgrades to a current home, there is a lot to consider when it comes to flooring. Here are some things to know.

When people choose flooring products, they may be ruling out a large swath of options because of an old belief they have about certain materials. For example, you may not associate vinyl with luxury, but new products on the market are redefining vinyl flooring, offering fashion-forward, high-quality products in striking elegant designs.

If you love the look of traditional hardwood floors, be sure to consider all of your options. New vinyl technologies are allowing homeowners to get the same elegant style of wood, but engineered to withstand the wear and tear that wood is susceptible to.

Many vinyl tile options have a thick, rigid construction, and

planks that look and feel just like real hardwood. This new-style vinyl is designed to resist scratches, scuffs and indentation, while maintaining stability under heat and temperature change. The planks also fit together to create an impenetrable lock so that the floors remain waterproof and odor-free.

Make sure the flooring you opt for is easy to clean and requires minimum maintenance. If you have pets, you may want to consider getting extra protection with a special warranty designed for pet owners, which often covers all pets and all accidents.

Before making flooring decisions, get savvy and weigh all your options, including vinyl. These days, it is possible to find flooring products that combine affordability, style, durability and minimum care.

Taylor Gibson, Joseph Ward and Madonna Jervis Wise were the speakers on a literary panel March 23 at PascoHernando State College’s Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch.

COURTESY OF PASCO-HERNANDO STATE COLLEGE

Panel shares knowledge of publishing at session The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

A literary panel appeared on March 23 at Pasco-Hernando State College’s Porter Campus, with authors sharing their knowledge about the process of writing and publishing.

Panelists during the session were Joseph Ward, an English professor;Taylor Gibson, a student at PHSC; and, Madonna Jervis Wise, a local author.

About 50 people attended the presentation, and many posed questions, according to a summary of the event, provided by Wise.

Gibson, who has written and published “The Spark: A Phantasy Novel,” spoke about the hours he spent as a child with books and movies. It was during that time he conceived the fictional characters that he began writing about in high school.

His aspirations include writing a movie script about his experiences, which he hopes to bring to fruition after college.

START, from page 1A 8:40 a.m. and ended at 2:50 p.m. The new starting and ending times are needed to balance routes associated with the opening of the district’s new transportation garage and compressed natural gas (CNG) filling station in Odessa.

ROAD, from page 1A former Tampa city council member, met to discuss connecting the two roadways.

Moore is now chairman of the Pasco County Commission; Montelione is no longer on the city council.

The matter has been batted around for years between Pasco, Tampa officials, and developers of K-Bar, with no resolution.

Some Meadow Pointe residents previously expressed concerns to county officials about the prospect of increased area traffic, if the connection were made.

The subdivision is off State Road 56 in Wesley Chapel, near The Shops at Wiregrass.

Mansfield winds past Pasco-Hernando

Ward, a founding faculty member on the Porter campus, sponsors the Literary Artists and Scholars Troop (LAST), a creative writing organization.

He has published four true crime creative nonfiction novels under a pen name, and is a member of the Florida Bar. In addressing aspiring writers in the crowd,Ward advised:“Don’t expect fame or fortune. It is analogous to the adolescent athlete who dreams of the NBA. In reality, writing is a satisfying endeavor and brings some supplemental income in the monthly royalty checks.”

Wise said she shared the acquisition and publishing process of working with Arcadia Publishing/History Press of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. She also detailed working with Create Space for self-publishing.

She told writers: “My mantra is ‘write it now, fix it later.’ Even Ernest Hemmingway said,‘The first draft of anything is garbage’.”

• Wiregrass Ranch High School, 2909 Mansfield Blvd., will have a starting time of 7:25 a.m. and ending time of 1:56 p.m. for all students. The school had been using dual bell times associated with a 10period day, but the school will resume a normal schedule with the opening of Cypress Creek Middle/High School in August.

State College’s Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch.There also is an elementary school, a middle school and a high school on the boulevard.

Other issues center around costs, and who would pay for such items as traffic calming devices and traffic signals.

Negotiations on other improvements to street grids in the area also fell short — including engineering better circulation via Beardsley Drive and Meadow Pointe Boulevard.

Pasco recently began repaving and restriping Beardsley from Mansfield east to Meadow Pointe.The project is expected to take 60 days.

He called Florida Hospital an extraordinary community partner for residents of Pasco County, a true leader in health and wellness, and a great job creator for the county.

Wesley Chapel softball on the rise

By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

The Wesley Chapel High varsity softball program has never experienced a winning season — until now.

Years of futility were dotted by coaching instability and a dearth of talent, since the program began in 2007.

In the program’s first five years, the Wildcats went 1-15, 2-20, 2-21, 1-22 and 221. Ensuing years were likewise taxing, as the team went 5-14, 0-24, 2-22 and 7-17.

This season, however, is unlike any other.

The Wildcats — 13-5 overall, 7-3 district — are in the midst of a complete 180, under new head coach Steve Mumaw, and an influx of young standouts.

Besides one senior, the varsity squad consists entirely of freshman and sophomores.

While chockfull of underclassman, the newfound group has proven it can compete — and defeat — any opponent in District 76A. That includes Land O’ Lakes (19-3) and River Ridge (13-5), two of the toughest teams in the Tampa Bay area.

Now enjoying a four-game winning streak, the Wildcats are arguably playing their best softball yet.

“It’s all the girls. When you have talent, it’s tough to mess that up,” said Mumaw, a former baseball coach and athletic director at the school.

And, the roster — top to bottom — is loaded with it.

Seven hitters in the regular lineup are batting .333 or better.

That includes sophomore catcher Neely Peterson, who’s pacing the team with a .459 average and .630 on-base percentage.

“I think we’re looking pretty good right now,” said Peterson, a verbal commit to Colorado State.“It’s very different than what it was in the past.”

COURTESY OF GIGANTE PRODUCTIONS

The Wesley Chapel varsity softball team is experiencing its first winning season in program history.

The pitching staff, led by freshman ace Jordan Almasy (2.62 ERA, 90 strikeouts in 77.1 innings), has also proven vital to the program’s budding success.

“We’re just going to keep making progress,” said Almasy, a verbal commit to the University of Central Florida.

“We all pick each other up — it’s a team effort,” added sophomore third baseman Ashley Nickisher.

The team’s lone senior is Dana Mumaw, the daughter of Steve Mumaw.

She’s witnessed firsthand the program’s struggles in prior years.“It was tough,” she said, bluntly.

Yet seeing the team “come together” this season has been a memorable experience, in what has otherwise been a turbulent softball career at Wesley Chapel.

“I think from the first day on, we’ve developed and gotten better, especially with a bunch of new players,” Dana Mumaw explained.“I knew we were going to be pretty good, but I didn’t know if we were going to be this good.”

Being coached by her father has proven rewarding, too.

“I love having my dad as the coach,” she said.“It’s really great...and I learn so much from him.”

With four regular season games remaining, the attention soon will focus squarely on the district tournament, beginning the week of April 24. Should the Wildcats win or finish runner-up, they’d be making their first-ever appearance at regionals.

It would be a significant feat, considering the program had never even won a district tournament game until 2016, when they upset Pasco High.

“Our goal is to advance out of districts,” Steve Mumaw said, “and see what happens.”

“We’ve got something pretty special going on here,” he added.

Egg hunts, Easter Bunny and fun

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

RICHARD K. RILEY

giant Easter Bunny roamed the grounds, kids scoured fields for Easter Eggs, and there was lots of time to take train rides, eat treats and visit the petting zoo during the Jelly Bean Fling.

The event made its debut this year at the Pioneer Florida Museum & Village, at 15602 Pioneer Museum Road in Dade City.

Visitors could start out the day by having a pancake breakfast with the Easter Bunny, with $3 meals sold by the Kiwanis Club of Dade City.

The day also featured opportunities to have photographs taken with the Easter Bunny and a chance to check out model trains or take part in one of four Easter Egg hunts.

Kids could also wear bunny ears, have their face painted, play in a bounce house or partake in other activities.

Posing for a photo are 10-month-old Gracey Bruce with her siblings, 3-year-old Linley and 7-year-old Talin, all from Dade City.

Michelle Guast's family recently moved to the area from Long Island. Her sons, Justin, 7, and Christopher, 8, showed off their collection.

Joey Wubbena and his grandson, Austin Greim, 6, watched the model trains permanent exhibit accompanied by Diane Maynard, a museum docent for the past five years.

Easter Egg hunters scoured the area, in search of eggs holding candy.

Anna Sanchez and her 1-year-old daughter, Paola, from Plant City, were at the Pioneer Florida Museum for the first time. Sanchez said it was well worth the drive.

Anna McIsaac, of Richland, would love to have a bunny rabbit at home.

Six-year-old Zion Johnson, 4-year-old Nehemiah Jones and 5-yearold Paisley Jones, from Zephyrhills, posed with the Easter Bunny. This was their first visit to the museum and its festivals.

PET of the WEEK

Molly is full of love The ears have it!

My name is Shimmer, but I am also known as Shimmer Shu Shu. My canine brother Trooper is a golden retriever. I am lucky because I have real built-in Easter Bunny ears! They especially perk up when I am ready to get a treat. My proud human parents are Gloria Baronak, and Vic and Janet Martinez of Lutz.

Molly is a happy-go-lucky gal, and enjoys playing with a toy, working on a chew bone or following staff around asking to be petted. She is the perfect workday distraction when she is hanging right next to you and waiting for your attention. Molly is heartworm positive, but it is treatable and preventable, once treated. The staff at Pasco County Animal Services can discuss treatment options.
