Seeking connections between counties By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Pasco County planners hope a study will point the way to consensus on whether to open more north/south roads that link Pasco and Hillsborough counties. More than 100 people attended a public meeting on the topic on April 18 at PascoHernando State College, off Mansfield Boulevard. The boulevard dead-ends at the county line, just before reaching Kinnan Street, a two-lane, divided roadway in New Tampa, on Hillsborough’s side of the dividing line. Connecting the two is one of three road projects that the study will consider over the next six months. Consultants with AECOM also will look at the potential for southern extensions of Meadow Pointe Boulevard and Wyndfields Boulevard that would link with existing and future roads in

A caravan of buses travels along Mansfield Boulevard, twice a day, delivering and picking up students at three schools. Pasco County residents worry that linking Mansfield to Kinnan Street in New Tampa will increase traffic.

the K-Bar ranch development in Hillsborough. Opening up Mansfield and Kinnan drew largely negative reviews from Pasco residents, specifically those living in Meadow Pointe subdivisions. “More through roads will be needed,” said Meadow Pointe resident Michael Kaufman.“I’m not against development. But, he said, “There are a lot of reasons

not to connect Mansfield and Kinnan, and no good reason.” The road designs aren’t compatible for one, and they also were never intended to be linked, Kaufman said. It is impossible to widen Kinnan beyond its current two lanes because there isn’t room, he added. The increase in traffic would be a safety See CONNECTIONS, page 15A

Drawing portraits one pet at a time By Kevin Weiss

John LaFree was always told he couldn’t make a living as an artist. But he created a career with his artistic talents, as the proprietor of Canine Caricature Pet Portraits. Freelance and self-employed, LaFree operates his easel out of the comfy confines of his Wesley Chapel home. The pieces he produces are anything but ordinary. LaFree, 42, puts a “fun and whimsical spin” on the traditional pet portrait, creating an original hand-drawn work of art based on a combination of submitted photos, descriptions and requests.

Redevelopment project teed up for a vote By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Residents of Quail Hollow subdivision packed the boardroom at the Historic Pasco County Courthouse seeking to persuade county commissioners not to allow a developer to swap a golf course for houses. “It betrays the existing residents who have expectations of a golf course remaining. It (houses) would change the character and sense of place of our neighborhood,” said Edward Glime, who lives in Quail Hollow. He and others spoke during public comment at a hearing on April 12 in Dade City. The Quail Hollow Neighborhood Citizens Group Inc., presented county commissioners with a petition signed by about 380 people who oppose the closure and residential development of the golf course. But, the contentious public hearing didn’t end in a final vote as normally happens — that is scheduled for May 9 at 1:30 p.m., in Dade City. The voting delay will give Pasco County’s planners and legal staff time to review a prior decision to recommend approval of the project to the county commission. Staff members will make a presentation to the commission prior to the vote.

No additional public testimony will be taken. Kris Hughes, the county’s director of planning and development, described the delay as “prudent,” though he said nothing he heard during the hearing was likely to change the staff’s recommendation. David Goldstein, the county’s deputy attorney, said the additional review is needed to “cross every T, and dot every i, to make sure it’s bulletproof.” Property owner Andre Carollo, of Pasco Office Park LLC, wants to build a maximum of 400 single-family houses, 30,000 square feet of office/retail and 10,000 square feet of day care. In support of the project, land use attorney Barbara Wilhite recounted the history of the golf course, which dates to the late 1960s. “It’s always been a privately owned golf course open to the public,” she said. “The golf course came first.” It was nearly a decade later that houses were built around the golf course, which was closed for several years before reopening in 2011. Despite expensive improvements,Wilhite said the golf course is not profitable. See VOTE, page 15A

PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Honoring my stepmother, Bettye By Diane Kortus Publisher

y stepmother, Bettye, is a remarkable woman. She was married to my father, Don Kortus, for over 36 years, until his death a little more than a year ago. While I miss Dad every day, I would miss him even more if we didn’t still have Bettye. I just spent a week with Bettye over the Easter holidays— the first time she visited me without my father. To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about Bettye’s visit because I thought we would be so sad without Dad, and would spend the week being constantly reminded of his absence. But, that was not the case at all. Bettye joyfully talked about Dad all the time, and always had a comment about how much he would have enjoyed, or resisted, the things we did. Dad would have loved sitting down to Easter dinner with his Florida family, enjoyed a fabulous Parade of Homes gala at a $2 million home in Lutz, and would have been charmed by historic Dade City and our southern-style lunch at Lunch on Limoges (although he would have been clueless about the French Limoges porcelain). And, Dad would have hated our day at Busch Gardens, strolling down Seventh Avenue in Ybor City and lounging out by the pool. But, Bettye loved it all — even sitting in my lanai when I was at work. It was snowing when she left St. Paul, and Bettye never tired of calling friends back home with daily weather reports from Land O’ Lakes. We even laughed that if there was anything positive about Dad being gone, it was

on, and I have much to be thankful for. I am so grateful for Bettye. I first met her when I was a college student and Dad introduced her to me as his new girlfriend.This was almost four years after my mother died from breast cancer at age 48, leaving behind 10 children, the youngest just 10 years old. My father taught seventh-grade social studies, and Bettye’s daughter was one of his students.They met at a parent-teacher conference. Dad admired Bettye’s fortitude as a single mother, and was impressed by her commitment to her children and their education. A few years after my mother died, Dad and Bettye reconnected at a bowling alley where they played on different leagues.They began dating, and married in 1980. I was 25 when they married, and had already moved to Florida. Dad and Bettye visited me every year, sometimes more than once. They were always here — at the most joyous and COURTESY OF DIANE KORTUS most difficult times of my life. They were here for the births and A colorful bird perches on Bettye’s hand at Busch christenings of my two children,Andy Gardens. and Rachel.They were here for their graduations from high school and colthat Bettye and I could plan our activities lege.

And truthfully, we never would have had Dad and Bettye were also at my side dursuch an action-packed week, if Dad had ing my darkest days, including a divorce been here. after 25 years of marriage.They guided me Which brings me back to the remark- as I rebuilt my business and encouraged me able strength and ongoing love that Bettye to open my heart to love again. extolls.

helped me financially when I had nowhere else to turn. I realize now that it was Bettye, as much as my father, who insisted on our close family connections through the years. Bettye never took credit for their regular visits to Florida, or for forging the strong relationships between my children and their Minnesota grandparents. She was the one who my father listened to, his partner for almost four decades, who quietly, behind the scenes, helped make Dad the man his children and grandchildren so admired and loved. Today I want to honor and thank Bettye for being a marvelous mother to me, and endearing grandmother to Andy and Rachel. She is a woman who influenced me more than I ever realized until this glorious Easter season that we shared together as mother and daughter, and as women who are working to overcome the almost unbearable loss of a husband and father.

Solutions sought for Pascoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s congestion By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

A task force that will help decide the future of State Road 54 and State Road 56 has taken preliminary steps to set up a schedule and agree on a list of potential road designs meant to improve traffic along the busy corridors. The 17-member task force will serve as advisory board to the Pasco County Metropolitan Planning Organization. It held an organizational meeting on April 20 at Rasmussen College, off State Road 54. About 25 people from the community were there, too. This is the second of a three-part study to find traffic solutions to ease congestion, improve safety and increase mobility along the State Road 54/State Road 56 corridor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is exploding with new development and increasing traffic. The entire study area includes the corridor, from Bruce B. Downs Boulevard on the east to U.S. 19 on the west. This phase of the study will focus primarily on two intersections: Little Road and State Road 54 in New Port Richey, and U.S. 41 and State Road 54 in Land Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are reaching an important stage of development in this,â&#x20AC;? said Kris Hughes, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning and development director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking forward to what this process produces.â&#x20AC;? Three meetings in total are planned in 2017. The second meeting will be in August, with a final meeting in October.At least two additional meetings are planned

for 2018, but no dates are scheduled. The task force replaces two previous task forces, each representing east and west sides of Pasco.They met during phase one of the project, and recommended six major highway and transit alternatives, five complementary alternatives and a no-build option. The new task force will explore those options in more detail and whittle the list to three or four alternatives, and the nobuild option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do nothing? Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to work,â&#x20AC;? said task force member Jack Buckley. Choices under review include designs for elevated lanes and redesigns at the ground level. Some options include dedicated lanes for buses and others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Sorting out how disruptive some designs can be to business and property owners will be a factor in choosing which direction to take, Buckley said. Access on and off the roadway and the distances between on-off ramps are important, said Kim Brinkley-Seyer. She is principal of The Seyer Group in Lakewood Ranch in Sarasota. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very concerned,â&#x20AC;? she said during public comment.â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is about moving people, but you have businesses and people along the way.Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be a factor.You take the access, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone.â&#x20AC;? Representatives from Pasco County Planning and Development, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MPO, Florida Department of Transportation, and consultants from AECOM will assist in the study.

Final Parade Weekend At Asturia

his is the final week of the tremendously successful 2017 Parade of Homes, sponsored by the Tampa Bay Builders Association. The Parade concludes in just five days — on Sunday, April 30. At Asturia, this means you have eight beautiful model homes available for tour, including two models entered into the Parade of Homes competition. The Ferrara model by Aston Woods features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, a master bedroom with spacious bath/oversized shower and a gorgeous outdoor living area. The Mendocino model by David Weekley Homes features an open concept kitchen to family room, upstairs retreat and a lanai with outdoor kitchen, pergola and spa. Models are open every day of the week. We invite you to visit us during the Parade to take advantage of our Parade specials and activities. Located in Odessa on State Road 54, Asturia is a beautiful masterplanned community featuring 550 single-family homes, 200 townhomes, 440 multifamily units, up to 380,000 square feet of commercial/office space and 350,000 square feet of office/light industrial space. It’s been just a year since Asturia’s first residents began moving into their new homes. Residents love the community’s fabulous outdoor lifestyle, which includes eco-friendly active and passive parks and expansive trail networks. Asturia also offers an unmatched Amenity Center with a state-of-the-art fitness facility and contemporary-designed community center. Asturia is a community where residents quickly become friends with their neighbors, coming together at family events hosted by the developer, and meeting new friends at the community center, walking and bicycling nature trails, and letting the kids run at Asturia’s playgrounds. In addition to friendly neighbors and excellent schools, new homes continue to go up at a fast pace because of the community’s many home choices and wide selection of home sites.

April 26, 2017

8 FURNISHED 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 builders have four model homes open for tour daily.

UNIQUE AMENITIES

With its modern and unique architectural design, the Amenity Center is at the heart of the Asturia. 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, zero-entry 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’s central location on State Road 54, just west of the Suncoast Parkway, also offers close proximity to U.S. 41, U.S. 19 and I-75. With the Suncoast Parkway just five minutes away, Asturia also gives residents a fast, direct route to Tampa International Airport and the Westshore business district. Asturia is attracting prominent retailers, corporate offices and luxury apartment homes. For more information about Asturia and its available parcels, go to AsturiaFlorida.com, or call (813) 227-4148.

CONNECTIONS, from page 1A issue, particularly because there are three schools, and the state college along Mansfield, Kaufman said. Richard Traudt, who lives in the Longleaf subdivision of Meadow Pointe, agreed. Twice a day, caravans of buses carry students to and from their schools. Parents are lining up to drop off and pick up, also. It’s a traffic bottleneck at those times, which doesn’t make it a good connector street, but more traffic also becomes a safety problem, Traudt said. “You would be putting students in more jeopardy than they are now,” he said, adding that more traffic signals at intersections likely would be needed. For many at the meeting, a southern extension of Meadow Pointe Boulevard into K-Bar ranch made more sense. “It was envisioned as a connecting street with New Tampa,” Kaufman said. For New Tampa and Hillsborough residents, new ways to improve traffic flow also are important matters. “We need a total system developed,” said Hillsborough resident Frank Hauser. “We need connections.” But, he shares concerns that Mansfield and Kinnan shouldn’t be linked, and agrees that Meadow Pointe Boulevard should be extended. Janet and Stanley Murawksi live in Meadow Pointe, close by county line. They also support extending Meadow Pointe.“This would have the greatest assistance for everyone,” said Janet Murawski. And, even though, a Mansfield-Kinnan link would shorten her drive to work, she said,“For me it would be good, but not for the area.” Extending Wyndfields also had supporters, but that project seemed farther in the future than Meadow Pointe Boulevard. Mansfield and Kinnan has been an unresolved issue for years, but negotiations with Pasco, Tampa and K-Bar developers never produced a solution.

PORTRAITS, from page 1A LaFree said. He works on about five projects per day, hoping to complete 20 to 25 per week. The typical turnaround time for an order is about three weeks. That can expand to nearly two months, during the busy holiday season. “Christmas,” he said,“is nuts.” Though LaFree regularly is “super busy,” he remains grateful to do something he enjoys. “There are not a whole lot of us that have made a whole business out of it,” he said. The work, too, has given the artist an appreciation “for all of the diversity of life on this planet. “I’ve learned about so many different breeds. I know more about dogs than I ever thought there was to know,” he said. Meanwhile, the artist’s drawing style con-

VOTE, from page 1A She also noted that the proposed development is less dense than the 800 dwelling units the county’s current comprehensive land use plan would allow. “It’s always been zoned for residential units,”Wilhite said. The attorney also pointed out that her client is taking the unusual legal step of making the proposed site plan “binding.” “I’ve never seen anyone do what we’re doing here,”Wilhite said. But, residents told county commissioners

Residents pushing for the connections cite the need for better evacuation routes, safety and greater mobility. Navigating the divide at Mansfield and Kinnan, for instance, can mean traveling a long, circular route using County Line road, Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, Cross Creek Boulevard and Morris Bridge Road. “It started long before I got here,” said Pasco County Commission Chairman Mike Moore, who addressed audience members. “The study will look at all possible connections and impacts on both sides.” The study is being funded by Pasco, with AECOM receiving about $112,000. Though invited to contribute financially, Moore said the City of Tampa and Hillsborough Metropolitan Planning Organization both declined. Representatives were invited to the meeting, and Tampa City Councilman Luis Viera did attend. Viera said New Tampa residents are eager to open routes, including Mansfield and Kinnan. He acknowledged the problems with that project but said the issue should be studied. “We have a lot of quality of life in the balance for people,”Viera said. The lack of north/south connections is hurting businesses on Cross Creek Boulevard, he said. “You can’t get people there without them driving 20 minutes,” he said.“It’s something we’re willing to fight for.” Moore, who is in his first term on the Pasco County Commission, met with former Tampa City Councilwoman Lisa Montelione last year to discuss linking Mansfield and Kinnan. The issue surfaced soon after a 911 call led to confusion and misdirection over dispatching an ambulance to aid a Tampa resident who had suffered severe burns. Moore, at the time, received phone calls and emails from Meadow Pointe residents opposed to opening the roads. But, Moore decided to request the study and explore feasible road projects, and also to hear from residents. tinues evolving. That includes incorporating more realistic visual features, like pinpointing a pet’s glassy eyes or moisture in its gums. “I’ve continued to be a student of what I’m doing. I’ve always tried some new stuff,” LaFree said. Several other ventures, too, are in the works for LaFree. They range from molding dog sculptures, to writing a children’s book. There’s also a project called Boozehoundz, a cartoon drawing about dogs with drinking problems. “I try to branch out,” LaFree said. “The more I can do, the more interesting it stays for me.” LaFree has a tent at the Fresh Market at The Shops at Wiregrass the first and third Saturday of each month, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For information, visit CanineCaricatures.com. they worry about flooding, water contamination of Cypress Creek, lower property values and increased traffic on narrow roads with limited access to the site. Wilhite and a team of consultants rebutted those arguments with information on a planned stormwater drainage system and data on property sales in the area. Homeowners were skeptical. The golf course property is “better suited for open space than high-density housing,” said homeowner Jeanne Luczynski. “Who benefits? That’s the big picture question.Why is the applicant more important than everyone here? Where is our protection?” she said.

Symposium spotlights mental health By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

College life can be exciting, but also can be challenging. Besides searching for independence, there comes a new level of responsibilities — academically and socially. That’s why administrators and student leaders at Pasco-Hernando State College organized a Community Resource Fair and Symposium on mental health and well-being, at the college’s East Campus in Dade City. Research conducted by the National Alliance on Mental Illness on mental health on college campuses shows: • 25 percent of students have a diagnosable illness • 40 percent do not seek help • 80 percent feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities • 50 percent have been so anxious they struggled in school About a dozen organizations were present during the April 19 event — part of the college’s ongoing community awareness series. Several local mental health and wellness agencies were on hand, including BayCare Behavioral Health, and Sunrise of Pasco County Domestic and Sexual Violence Center. Representatives from those groups, along with a college staff member, led a panel discussion on mental fitness among college students. One of the panelists was Jacqui Turner, a liaison for BayCare Health System’s Student Assistance Program (SAP), which provides support to students in dealing with personal, academic, or relationship problems via referral services through managed care benefits and other community resources. According to Turner, most college students utilize the SAP service because they struggle balancing school, work and general life obligations. Those stresses,Turner said, can translate to poor classroom performance. “When your mind is focused elsewhere,” she said, “you’re not performing to your fullest potential…and your grades go down pretty fast.” Aside from stress, feelings of anxiety and depression can also be prevalent among college students,Turner noted. Another panelist, Chuck Wilson— the college’s executive director of the President’s Institute for College Preparation, Completion, Certification, Leadership Development — suggested financial decisions—good and bad—can impact mental well-being. He said most debt is created right out of college.

“As you’re preparing for life, don’t mess up your money,” he said. That includes incorporating preventative measures, such as saving and smart spending habits. “If you don’t do that,” Wilson said, “now you’re dealing with depression, and fear and anxiety.” Later on,Wilson advised those with financial struggles to seek help from elder family members and dabble with financial literacy programs. “Often there’s value in age and experience,” he said. He also advocated performing a self-assessment “when something is weighing you.” “Have courageous conversation with yourself. When you tell yourself the truth, I think that’s the baseline for rising above whatever the situation is.” With April being National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a portion of the symposium centered on ways to support victims and survivors of sexual assault, dating and violence domestic and stalking. The topic was led by Aubrey Hall, Green Dot coordinator for Sunrise of Pasco.The Green Dot Bystander aims to end or reduce the amount of violence found on university campuses. According to Hall, one in four women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime, and one in six men will be stalked. “These numbers rise when college is in session,” Hall explained.“When you’re in college, you’re four times more likely to be assaulted than when you’re not in college.” She pointed out survivors of violence “sometimes feel guilty or shameful, because they feel like they should have acted.” Empowering those victims, Hall said, starts with utilizing proper interaction techniques. One such technique, called trauma-informed care, is an approach that aims to engage people with histories of trauma, recognize the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledge the role that trauma has played in their lives. “When you go and you interact with somebody, you don’t really know what they’ve been through.And, it’s really not right to ask somebody about it,” Hall said. “I never go into a room assuming no one’s experienced violence.” She, too, never asks ‘why,’ when dealing with trauma victims, due to its presumptive tone. “If you’re asking somebody why something happened to them, you’re putting the blame on them. You’re putting the onus on them,” Hall said. She added:“Language is extremely important. Not only how you’re asking the questions, but then following up.”

SPRING FOOTBALL PREVIEW HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY

By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

pring football practices are now underway for high schools across the state. Though the first games of the 2017 season remain several months away, Florida high schools are allowed a maximum of 20 practice sessions from April 24 to May 31, according to Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) guidelines. Here’s a look at what schools in our coverage area in Hillsborough are working with: yards). Meanwhile, defensive tackle Pierre Alsint (62 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks), the team’s top pass rusher, is also expected to return for his senior season.

FREEDOM HIGH SCHOOL

COACH: FLOYD GRAHAM (2ND YEAR) 2016 RECORD: 3-7

Carrollwood football coach Mark Jones went 2-6 in his first season.

CARROLLWOOD DAY SCHOOL

COACH: MARK JONES (2ND YEAR) 2016 RECORD: 2-6

The Carrollwood Day School Patriots are hoping to rebound after a challenging season under first-year head coach Mark Jones.After a promising 64-0 victory over Avant Garde Academy in August, the Patriots suffered a six-game losing streak, then closed the season with a 34-7 win over St. Petersburg Catholic; the Patriots were outscored by a 240-33 margin during the losing streak. Youthful last season, the Patriots may see significant improvements in 2017 following an offseason of polishing. Rising junior quarterback Chris Butash (448 passing yards, three touchdowns) could be in for a breakout season, especially with the return of top target Kyle Benedict (20 receptions, 225

THIS OUT

A relatively difficult district schedule and an ineffective offense led to a disappointing 3-7 season for the Freedom Patriots under first-year head coach Floyd Graham. In 2016, Freedom scored just five touchdowns all season, failing to score more than seven points in all but three games. An offensive resurgence this fall likewise could be tough with the exit of running back Trent Burnett (420 all-purpose yards) and wideout Carlos Ridicio (167 all-purpose yards). However, Graham has engineered a program turnaround before. While at Steinbrenner High from 2009-2011, Graham guided the Warriors from a 1-6 record, to 5-5 and 7-3 marks.

GAITHER HIGH SCHOOL COACH: KIRK KARSEN (1ST YEAR) 2016 RECORD: 5-5

Kirk Karsen, a former Sickles and Alonso defensive coordinator, takes over a Gaither program that loses quite a bit of offensive talent from last year’s 5-5 squad. Gone are senior tailback TJ Williams (1,253 all-purpose yards, 19 touchdowns) and quarterback Gavin DenBoer (1,218 yards, 10 touchdowns), who has transferred to Alonso

The Wharton Wildcats are seeking a rebound season after going 4-5 in 2016.

High.The Cowboys also will miss a pair of Division I-caliber linebackers in Decalon Brooks (Florida State University) and Estefano Feliciano (Old Dominion University), a duo that combined for 195 tackles, 35 tackles for loss and nine sacks last season. But, the cupboard isn’t completely bare. The Cowboys still return leading receiver Cayden Jordan (22 receptions, 449 yards, one touchdown) and leading tackler Matthew Wood (112 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, three sacks).Another Gaither player to watch in 2017 is Donovan Jennings, a 6-foot6, 310-pound offensive lineman, who’s beginning to receive interest from multiple Division I programs.

program also needs to unearth additional weapons for the new signal caller, following the graduation of standouts Brett Bitter (43 catches, 652 yards, seven touchdowns) and Carson Kaleo (53 receptions, 502 yards). Other significant losses include leading tackler Dane Coleman (103 tackles), outside linebacker/defensive end Devon Connors (56 tackles, nine tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks) and kicker/punter Noah Ruggles (nine field goals made, 36.6 yards per punt). Some potential impact Warriors players in 2017 include: tailback Josh Harris (355 yards, four touchdowns), receiver Brandon Garcia (28 receptions, 371 yards, three touchdowns), linebacker Charles Stephens (99 tackles) and defensive tackle Juan Batista (87 tackles).

WHARTON HIGH SCHOOL

COACH: DAVID MITCHELL (13TH YEAR) 2016 RECORD: 4-5

The Steinbrenner Warriors are looking for their third straight winning season this fall.

STEINBRENNER HIGH SCHOOL

COACH: ANDRES PEREZ-REINALDO (6TH YEAR) 2016 RECORD: 5-4

The Steinbrenner Warriors are looking for their third straight winning season in 2017— and it may be difficult. The Warriors must mold a new starting quarterback, following Collin Wray’s defection to Clearwater High School. The

After a 4-5 setback last fall, the Wharton Wildcats look to regain its 2015 form, when the team finished 8-2. That starts with unseating district foes like Wiregrass Ranch and Gaither high schools — easier said than done. Even with the graduation of versatile athlete Randy Haynes Jr. (Ohio Wesleyan University) and productive defensive tackle Justin Visconti (Southeastern University), the Wildcats still should remain competitive in 2017. Expect significant contributions from powerful tailback Shannon King (5-foot-10, 210 pounds) and cornerback John Dixon (44 tackles, two interceptions). Meanwhile, the Wildcats most prized prospect is Lavel Dumont, a 6-foot-5, 270pound offensive tackle transfer from Brooks Debartolo Collegiate High School.The threestar recruit has garnered several Division I offers, such as Marshall University and Western Kentucky University.

It’s prom time at the Spring Fling Buddy Ball By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

ctavia Frost sat patiently through make-up and hair styling, as her Best Buddies’ student volunteer, Zyandria Vega, created just the right look for a special occasion - the Spring Fling Buddy Ball. She wore a dark blue gown of her choosing for the annual prom at Wesley Chapel High School. And, when she walked into the school's gymnasium, Frost, 18, was no wallflower. She and dozens of her classmates, who attend exceptional student education (ESE) classes, had a grand, joyful prom. The fourth annual prom for "students with exceptionalities" actually was Frost's second prom. And, the second time around, she knew what to expect. "Have more fun, play around and talk with my friends," the Wesley Chapel junior said. For three hours, nearly 80 ESE students celebrated a traditional right of passage for high school students. They posed at the photo booth manned by Best Buddies students, Hannah Collin and Ethan Gelinas. The two journalism students took a break from their usual duties of taking annual yearbook photos to volunteer for prom duty. A musical selection from Peggy Roski - "DJ extraordinaire" - filled the high school's gymnasium with the beats and rhythms that had everyone moving. There was the Chicken Dance, Silento's "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae),” the glide, and fan favorite selections from the Village People and Taylor Swift. Phoebe Enering, 15, showed off her kneelength cocktail-style dress. "My grandmother helped me pick it out," she said. The prom began after parents lobbied to give their children the kind of memories that most students take for granted. Staff members at Wesley Chapel donated gowns and prom wear for boys. The fancy duds now can be found in the school's ABC Closet. This year, for the first time, the school's Best Buddies Club partnered to provide volunteers who decorated the gymnasium in a flowers and butterfly theme. Scattered throughout the gym, students could pick up balloons, hulahoops and beach balls. And, Best Buddies also is aiding with fundraising efforts for the prom. The Best Buddies club encourages students to forge friendships with students with disabilities. Club members also help with Special Olympics. "It's been getting better and better every year," said Anna Simpson, a paraprofessional transitional assistant for the ESE program. The prom was from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., to make it easy for students and their parents to attend. Students from age 15 to 22 came to the prom. Many students meet initially in kindergarten, and move onto middle and high school together, Simpson said. "A lot of the kids are like family," she said. "The families of the students get together at special events. They've been doing this since kindergarten. “It’s awesome.” For information on donating prom wear to the ABC Closet, contact the school at (813) 7948700.

PET of the WEEK

Feather loves treats

Bella is a beach beauty

Bella is a 9-month-old Havanese that loves soaking in the Tampa rays! Her very proud parents are Randy and Rhonda Baughcum, of Land O Lakes.

Feather is a sweet man that will need a follow-up with a veterinarian for dental care. Despite his dentition issues, Feather loves temptation treats, and will chase and search for them. If you are interested in meeting him, come to the shelter, or check out Feather’s video on our Facebook page.

Send us a picture and information on your favorite pet! Write a short paragraph about why your pet is special along with a photo and mail to: Pet of the Week, c/o The Laker, P.O. Box 479, Lutz, FL 33548 or email to mrathman@lakerlutznews.com, ATTN: Pet of the Week PLEASE NOTE: OWNERS NAME AND ADDRESS MUST BE INCLUDED FOR YOUR PET TO BE CONSIDERED FOR PUBLICATION.

LOCAL WILDLIFE

Bella is a sweet young girl Bella is very stressed in the shelter and is desperate to find her home. She is one of the pups that has passed the Canine Good Citizen test, which means she has demonstrated her ability to show good behavior in the community. Bella’s skills include sit, down, stay, come, calmly passing another dog on a walk and basic grooming. Pasco County Animal Services also offers continued basic obedience training for any pet adopted at the shelter.

Drilling holes has a purpose Lillian Cucuzza took these photos of a pileated woodpecker in her Land O’ Lakes backyard. The bird was on the ground tearing up a fallen branch in search of bugs. This large woodpecker is about the size of a crow and makes quite a racket when shredding wood. The unique rectangular ‘nest’ holes that are left behind offer shelter to many species, including swifts, owls, ducks, bats and pine martens.

BIGDOG PHOTO CONTEST

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and Audubon Florida are reminding beachgoers and boaters to give nesting water birds, and their young, space to keep them safe during nesting season. Shorebirds build shallow nests out of sand and shells on beaches in the spring and summer, and eggs and hatching chicks are difficult to see. Wading birds, such as herons, egrets and pelicans, will also nest on islands around the state. Both types of birds can be easily disturbed if people approach too closely. Such disturbances can cause birds to abandon nesting sites, exposing eggs and chicks to predators, sun exposure and other harm. Follow these simple steps while at the beach: • Keep your distance from birds, on the beach or on the water.

Ability Above Acre Acts Ages Army Array Asia Batter Blaze Blush Bread Bugs Cases Cash Clause Clock

Pet Loss Support Group

• Respect posted areas. • Never force birds to fly or run. • If you have to take pets to the beach, keep them leashed and avoid shorebird nesting areas. • Keep the beach clean and do not feed wildlife. • Spread the word. If you see people continue to disturb nesting birds, report it to the FWC’s Wildlife Alert Hotline at (888) 404-3922.

Gulfside Center for Hospice Care 5760 Dean Dairy Road in Zephyrhills Provided locally by:

Facilitated by Chaplain Mike Merritt Our relationship with our pets is very special. For many of us, they are members of the family, and when the bond we share is broken, the resulting sense of loss and grief can be overwhelming. At Gulfside Hospice’s Pet Loss Support Group, you can share your feelings with others who are going through a similar experience.
