Panhandling off-limits in Pasco

By Kathy Steele

Commissioners were unmoved, and on April 26 unanimously approved the total ban.

The ordinance is similar to ones in Hillsborough County and the City of St. Petersburg.

It bans “soliciting or attempts to solicit employment, business, contributions, donations, or sales or exchanges, of any kind from the driver or an occupant of a motor vehicle, or distributing or attempting to distribute any goods or materials to the driver or an occupant” of the motor vehicle.

Data presented to commissioners reported 173 pedestrian-related crashes in 2015,

Pasco County commissioners have approved a ban aimed at preventing street-corner panhandling in the county.

That action came despite pleas from those who had been selling newspapers in the county on Sundays.

By adopting a total ban, the county would cost workers’ wages and jobs, opponents said.

“I’m begging you, please understand you are affecting so many people,” said Renee Contreras, who oversees workers who sell newspapers on Sundays in the Wesley Chapel area.

Trekking to Iowa to compete at World Finals

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

After competing together for years, a local Odyssey of the Mind team has finally accomplished its goal of qualifying to compete at the World Finals in Ames, Iowa.

Now, the team is busy raising the $5,000 they need need to make the trip.

They’re doing car washes, a garage sale and restaurant fundraisers, and are hoping for the community’s support to help make their dream come true.

The four-member team is made up of students attending three different high schools.

Two of them — Kaden Robinson and Donovan Snider — attend Wesley Chapel High School.Another — Kayla Gutierrez — attends Wiregrass Ranch High School. And, Alec Guillen attends Eastlake High School.

The coaches for the team are Kayla’s mom,Tammy and Kaden’s brother, Devin.

The students from Wiregrass Ranch and

Wesley Chapel have been competing together since they have been in middle school.

Other team members have come and gone, even as late as this year.

Odyssey of the Mind is an international program that encourages youths to work together as teams to use their creative and analytical skills to solve problems.

Last year, the team was on the brink of qualifying for the World Finals.They placed third at state, but only the top two teams advance to the world stage.

The year before, they came in fifth.

The core group has been together for five years, and that’s an advantage, Gutierrez said.

“We’re able to get working faster because you know each other’s strengths and weaknesses. You know who works well with what and who doesn’t, so you’re really able to divide and conquer the workload and get things done quickly,” she said.

Robinson noted another benefit: “It’s

much easier to motivate each other, as well.

Being together for so long, you tend to form a bond, like family.”

It’s a bond that extends beyond Odyssey, Robinson said.“We’re there in support for each other, whenever we’re going through anything in life.”

Knowledge is power in the war on sexual assault

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

A group of men and women gathered at Pasco-Hernando State College’s Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch on April 26 for a community seminar on the issue of sexual assault.

The Sexual Assault Awareness Symposium, co-sponsored by PHSC and Sunrise of Pasco County Domestic & Sexual Violence Center covered a social issue that’s often difficult for people to talk about.

It’s a widespread problem, however.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 20 percent to 25 percent of college females are raped at some point in their college career.

It’s an issue that affects the way people think and how they live, said Terri O’Brien, director of training for Sunrise.

About midway through the seminar she asked the same question twice — first to the men assembled, and then to the women.

“What precautions do you take on a daily basis to avoid being sexually assaulted?” she asked.

The men offered no response.

The women, however, did:“Don’t walk to my car alone at night,” one said.

“Watch what you drink at the bar,” said another.

“Have my keys out (when walking to the car),” replied a third.

If she didn’t have to worry, O’Brien said, “I’d sleep with my windows open at night.”

It’s a fear that judges others with a broad brush, she added.

When women walk alone at night, they put their guard up, if they see a male approaching, O’Brien added. It can be “the nicest guy in the world” but most women view him “as a potential threat,” she said.

Such concerns, however, pale in comparison to the trauma that occurs to someone who is sexually assaulted, the experts at the See ASSAULT, page 11A

Putting the spotlight on substance abuse

By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Taking aim at substance abuse requires a new mindset, if efforts are to succeed, speakers said at the fifth annual Substance Abuse Prevention Conference on April 29.

The biggest crisis hitting Florida today is the heroin and opioid epidemic, but the issue isn’t treated that way, said Mark Fontaine, executive director of Florida Alcohol and Drug Abuse Association.

“We have 13 cases of Zika virus and we write all about the 13 cases of Zika virus.

“We have people dying every day in this state from heroin and from other drugs — we have more deaths in Florida than from auto accidents or from firearms, from addiction.That is not on the front page every day.

“In the city of Delray, there were 163 overdoses from January through the end of March,” Fontaine added.“We need a higher profile around this issue.”

His remarks came during a panel discussion at a conference that drew about 400

people to the Saddlebrook Resort in Wesley Chapel. The conference was presented by BayCare Behavioral Health and the Pasco County Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention (ASAP).

The panel was just one of many ways that conference-goers could learn more about substance abuse issues and ways to tackle the problem. There were vendors there and numerous breakout sessions during the afternoon.

During the panel discussion, Fontaine said it’s not enough to merely focus attention on the problem of substance abuse, there’s also a need to shift society’s attitude about addressing it.

“This is a health condition.This is not a criminal justice condition. People have drug problems and they are addicted to drugs.We need to change the conversation to this being a condition that needs help, it needs assistance, it needs information, we need to make treatment available,” Fontaine said.

Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco characterized the issue as a community

7 Deadly Mistakes That Will Cost You Thousands When You Sell Your Wesley Chapel Home WESLEY CHAPEL - A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today's market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of homesellers don't get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and - worse - financially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the market.

sellers make 7 deadly mistakes that cost them literally thousands of dollars. The good news is that each and every one of these mistakes is entirely preventable.

problem, requiring a united response.

“Our jail is probably the largest hospital in the county because we’re dealing with so much addiction,” Nocco said.

“Our role is to break up the criminal enterprise. But law enforcement alone cannot win the war on drugs,” he said.

People with substance abuse will find a way to fuel their addiction, he said.“That’s a mental health issue. That’s a healthcare issue.”

Pasco County Commissioner Kathryn Starkey said the issue hits close to home because she has a relative who has struggled.

She said the county has taken aim at drug houses, through the county’s code enforcement efforts.

Michael J. Napier, administrator for the Florida Department of Health in Pasco County, said a more coordinated approach is needed, tied to specific goals.

“We’re really at a point where we need to be able to do an assessment of — what is the status of Pasco County?” Napier said.

He suggests that it’s time to “put a stake in the ground, set some measures and then hold ourselves each accountable that we accomplish that measure.

“It isn’t always about dollars. It’s about organizations and aligning resources,” Napier said.

Pasco County Schools Superintendent Kurt Browning agreed with both Nocco and Napier. ““It is a community problem. We are in this together.We have to get it fixed together,” Browning said. “We need to have a coordinated effort. We need to have a plan.

We need to be committed to it.”

The substance abuse problem is widespread, Browning said. “We deal with affluent families and we deal with families in poverty. What I find is that substance abuse issues cut across all socioeconomics.”

It’s a problem that can affect any family, agreed Kelly Mothershead, owner of A Focus on Fitness, based in Wesley Chapel.

“I’m actually a parent of an only child who died from a prescription drug over-

“SHE KEPT ME OFF THE OPERATING TABLE”

dose five years ago. It was devastating,” Mothershead said. “None of us thinks our child will be a prescription drug addict.”

Her son was in culinary school and was injured at work. He was prescribed Oxycontin, and it snowballed from there. He went through rehab, was injured at work again, and once again received a prescription for Oxycontin – despite Motherhead’s objections. He died of an overdose three days later.

She decided to get involved.

“We need to talk about it. We don’t talk about drug addiction because there’s a stigma attached to it.We don’t want anyone to know that our child is addicted to drugs.We don’t want anyone to know that there’s someone in our family that’s a recovering addict,” Mothershead said.

That has to change, she added.

“It’s a disease and we need to come together to fix it.

“We have to educate ourselves, our businesses, our communities — not just our kids,” Mothershead said. She suggests delivering some of this education in the work place, to give working parents access to the information.

Involvement is exactly what’s needed, said Lt. Commander Michael Muni, who served on President Barack Obama’s National Heroin Task Force and was one of the event’s keynote speakers.

It’s difficult work, Muni said.

“There’s not very much recognition for doing this work.There is no fame.There is no fortune in this work,” he said.

But it’s essential to have goals, in order to make progress, he said.

He encouraged conference-goers to be inspired and to step up their efforts.

“The time will never be right.The place will never be right.The situation will never be right.You have to make the opportunity.

You have to make the conscious decision that you want to do something great.

“Greatness is a lot of small things, done well. And, it’s done at a local level,” Muni said.

Enjoying a free concert with mom On the Cheap

By Michael Murillo vivamurillo@hotmail.com

M

other’s Day is coming up. That probably means flowers and a card for your mom, your spouse or someone you know who is a mom.

And that sounds like a nice way to recognize them: Flowers and a card. Not very creative, of course. Maybe a little boring when you think about it. But nice, I guess.

The question is, do you want to be boring, or do you want mom to know she’s special? Does she really want another year of flowers to throw away and a card to put in a shoebox? Or does she want to spend some quality time with you and the family?

Maybe this is the year to surprise mom with something she doesn’t expect, like an evening listening to live, classical music from an acclaimed orchestra. How often does she get to do that?

On Mother’s Day, May 8, the whole family can do something together when the Florida Orchestra performs a free concert at Curtis Hixon Park, 600 N. Ashley Drive, in Tampa. It’s a nearly two-hour show with music you’ve definitely heard before, including some classic favorites. As in, legitimate classics.

Oh, and did I mention it’s free? I did? Ok, just checking.

The Florida Orchestra has put together a Mother’s Day performance for the past few years, and the concert is very popular.

Thousands of people bring lawn chairs, food, drinks, blankets and even leashed pets (the park is dog-friendly) to hear them perform.

And it’s not just a few parts of the orchestra. It’s the whole thing. Around 60 musicians will perform compositions like

PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE FLORIDA ORCHESTRA

The Florida Orchestra’s full slate of musicians will be on hand to entertain the crowd.

Thousands come to enjoy the orchestra’s free show each year.

Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture and Offenbach’s Can-Can. Never heard those, you say? Yes, you have. You might not know them by name, but when you hear it you’ll recognize it.

There’s also going to be music from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and a tribute to The Beatles. I’m sure you’ve heard of them.

Throw in the Olympic fanfare and finish it all off with some fireworks, and you have an evening of fun, unique entertainment.

And how will mom feel about taking her to a free event? I think she’ll be proud to know that you listened to her about saving money and being responsible with your finances. And she’ll be honored that you’re spending time with her to do something unique and fun. No offense to flower shops and candy makers, but this is a memory that will last a lot longer.

The performance starts at 7:30 p.m., but you’ll want to get there early to get a good spot. Feel free to invite other mothers, too.

Maybe you know a mom whose children don’t live locally, or aren’t with them anymore.They deserve to be recognized, too. So whether it’s a friend, neighbor or family member, invite them to come with you and enjoy some entertaining live music from a special group of performers.

This isn’t some garage band playing at a neighborhood party.

The Florida Orchestra has been around for decades, performed with Whitney Houston when she sang “The Star-Spangled

Banner” at the Super Bowl and presents nearly 100 concerts each year.

Except most of those concerts aren’t free.

This one is.

So Happy Mother’s Day, and enjoy the music.

By the way, if you can’t make it on Sunday, the full orchestra is performing a free one-hour set on May 7 — the night before the Mother’s Day concert — at Westfield Countryside Mall, 27001 US Highway 19 North in Clearwater.

It’s a bit of a drive, but if you want to see them for free and already have Mother’s Day plans, it’s a good way to catch the orchestra.

That performance begins at 6:30 p.m.

A D V E R T I S E R

Special to The Laker / Lutz News

Infinity Eye Care recently opened a new office in Land O’ Lakes to provide optician services. Many area residents have already discovered — or rediscovered — Dr. Kevin Smith. Here’s what distinguishes Dr. Smith and his practice.

1. New, convenient Land O’ Lakes office Our beautiful new office, located just north of the Land O’ Lakes Post Office, is comfortable with separate offices for pretesting, exe exams, contact lens fittings and frame selection.

2. Experience Dr. Kevin Smith began his optical career over 26 years ago when he learned the craft of manufacturing eyeglasses from his stepfather, Paul H. West. Kevin went on to graduate from USF, and received his medical degree from Nova Southeastern University in 1999. Dr. Smith has practiced in many areas of optometry, including commercial eye clinics, skilled nursing facilities and private practice.

3. No sales pressure Unlike national optical stores in the mall, our staff has no sales quotas. We help you select frames and finishes that meet your budget and look great on your face. Our focus is your health – not selling glasses!

4. Designer frames Juicy, Nike, CK, Swarovski, Revo, Fysh, Costa del Mar and many more! We carry a full line of designer brands, as well as the latest designs in affordable eyewear.

5. N/C digital camera Our state-of-the-art digital camera is used on every patient to get the most accurate prescription. Because digital cameras are very expensive, most optical offices charge extra to use this important diagnostic tool.

PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT

P R O F I L E

Why patients love Dr. Smith 6. In-house lab work We’re the only optical practices in Tampa with the training and equipment to finish lenses in our own lab. This gives us final control to make sure your lenses are grinded perfectly to match your prescription.

7. Bifocal contact lenses Dr. Smith prescribes contact lenses that have the bifocal component built into the lens. So if you want to continue wearing contacts after you need reading glasses, now you can!

8. Save your vision, and even your life Dr. Smith recently diagnosed a melanoma eye tumor in a 40-year-old man. The patient complained of blurry visions, and upon examination, Dr. Smith discovered a tumor that was destroying the eye.

It is essential that people with systemic diseases, especially high blood pressure and diabetes, see their optometrist every 12 months. Others should go every 18 months.

Seeing your eye doctor can save your vision, and even your life.

9. We make house calls Dr. Smith makes house calls in a mobile satellite office in a custom-designed van. For elderly and disabled patients who cannot get to our office, we go to them.

10. Local Roots/Local Resident Many people know Dr. Smith from the eights years he worked with Charley Chaney at the Eyeglass Factory in Lutz. In 2008, Dr. Smith bought Infinity Eye Care in South Tampa, and is thrilled to be back in Lutz/Land O’ Lakes with a second office.

Dr. Smith lived in Lake Padgett East in Land O’ Lakes for many years, and moved to Seven Oaks in Wesley Chapel in 2007 when he married Sharon. The couple’s daughter, Kayla, is a graduate of Wiregrass High School and attends Pasco Hernando State College.

Prom Promise brings together local first responders who visit high schools during prom season to inform students of the importance of making good decisions on prom night.

Using student actors from each high school who are dressed in prom attire and splattered with fake blood, the first responders illustrate the tragic events that can occur when a student gets drunk at the prom, and then drives away and crashes into another carload of prom-goers.

After the crash, the firefighters, paramedics and police officers converge on the scene, and students see the intense activity that follows, including a Bayflite helicopter ready to transport the trauma patients.

The presentations are coordinated with school SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) groups and the school resource officers.

Prom Promise will make an appearance at Wiregrass Ranch High School, 2909 Mansfield Blvd, in Wesley Chapel, on May 20 at 8:30 a.m., in the stadium.

PANHANDLING, from page 1A with 13 fatalities.The highest volume of fatal crashes happened on Saturday and Sunday, and occurred more often in daylight than evening.

Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco also said that people were taking advantage of the Sunday exception to the ordinance.

“They are switching over from selling newspapers to panhandling,” he said.“By afternoon, they switch out signs. It goes back to — there is a public safety issue.”

Pasco County Commissioner Mike Wells brought up the issue in March after hearing about a veteran who was killed while selling newspapers along U.S. 19.

Commissioners then directed staff members to draft the new ordinance.

“It’s an unsafe practice for all involved,” Wells said, adding that he believes Pasco does everything possible to help residents in need.

While Pasco County Commissioner Jack

Mariano sympathized with those selling newspapers, he said,“It’s just not working out. It’s unfortunate we have to take this strong step.”

Hugh Townsend, of the Hunter’s Ridge homeowners’ association, said panhandling “is of grave concern.”

Residents have dealt with litter, broken lights around the community’s monument sign and destruction to landscaping.

“I’d rather see them set up in a parking lot,”Townsend said.

From his wheelchair, Clifton Levigne told commissioners that he and others need the money they earn from selling Sunday newspapers.

“We have to count on selling newspapers, or else we can’t have enough to get through the week,” he said.“We’re not panhandlers.”

Contreras said the ordinance would hurt people trying to work for a living, but probably won’t stop panhandling.

“They (panhandlers) just cost us all our jobs,” she said.

FINALS, from page 1A team second.”

The team has done most of the preparation it needs to do before making the 20-hour trip to Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, for the competition that will be held May 25 through May 28.

Now, they’re focusing mostly on fundraising and have a number of events planned in coming weeks.

At the world competition, they’ll be testing their skills against teams who are converging on Iowa from all over the globe.

About 800 teams are expected to compete and countries that will be represented there include Russia, China, India, Poland, Japan and Morocco, to name just a few.

During one part of the competition, they’ll be presenting a play. The theme of their presentation will be “Saying Goodbye

to Odyssey,” which draws on their years of competing in the competition, which draws on their creativity and problem-solving.

“We have 8 minutes for set up and performance,” Gutierrez said. “We’re bringing past Odyssey into the present so we can move through to the future because we’re all moving on,” she said.

The entire team plans to shift into judging OM after this year because Robinson is graduating and will no longer be able to compete with them.

Snider said he’s grateful the team has held together for this long and is happy to be going out on a high note by competing at the international level.

“We’ve been trying for five years,” Snider said.

For information about the team or the competition, or to help the team, contact Tammy Gutierrez at TammyTurtle0220@yahoo.com.

ASSAULT, from page 1A seminar said.

“It changes their entire lives,” said Clarice Freese, a Sunrise counselor who has worked with survivors of sexual violence for 40 years.

The impact of sexual violence affects survivors, loved ones, the community and society, O’Brien said.

“Sexual violence is any type of unwanted sexual contact,” O’Brien said.

“It’s (sexual assault) not about sex. It’s about power, control and anger,” Freese said.

There are lots of ways to pressure people to have unwanted sex, O’Brien said, asking members to offer their thoughts on some of the possibilities.

“Guilt,” one suggested – “Don’t you love me?”

“Blackmail,” said another – “I’m going to out you.”

“Abuse of authority” and ”physical dominance” were other responses offered.

Sexual assault is a hard topic to talk about, Freese said, especially for survivors.

“You’re terrified that you’re going to be blamed,” she said.

When someone is assaulted, it is common to feel numb, she said.

But as those feelings wear off, a rape survivor often feels the need to talk about it.

For those who don’t know where to turn, the rape crisis hotline is a good place to start, Freese said.

“When you call a 1-800 number, wherever you’re calling from, you will be connected to the closest available rape crisis center, automatically connected,” she said.

“When I make that call, I begin to connect with someone that is going to listen through my experience.They will not judge me. They will not make demands of me.

They will not say I have to, or I should.They will give me concrete, good information,” Freese said.

“What is information? Information is power,” Freese said.

Terri O’Brien, of Sunrise of Pasco County Inc. Domestic & Sexual Violence Center, said sexual violence is any kind of unwanted sexual contact.

SPRING FOOTBALL PREVIEW ZEPHYRHILLS HIGH SCHOOL:

PASCO COUNTY

COACH: NICK CARROLL (1ST YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 8-3

By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

pring football practices are underway for high schools across the state.While the first games of the 2016 season are still several months away, Florida high schools are allowed a maximum of 20 practice sessions between April 25 to May 31, according to FHSAA (Florida High School Athletic Association) guidelines.

Here’s a look at what schools in our coverage area are working with:

S

PASCO COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL COACH: TOM MCHUGH (9TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 4-6

FILE PHOTOS

The Land O’ Lakes Gators are looking to avoid a third straight losing season. A more manageable schedule in 2016 should help.

LAND O’ LAKES HIGH SCHOOL COACH: BRIAN WACHTEL (6TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 3-7

Last season was rough for the Gators, who failed to win a home game at “The Swamp,” and were shutout by their primary rival in Sunlake High. Playing five consecutive road games didn’t help the cause, either.To relive their magical 8-2 season back in 2013, the Gators must find some consistent play at the quarterback position, whether that is from rising senior Spencer Childress or rising junior Jude May.Though the team loses their top two rushers from last season in Rashawn Kindell (526 yards rushing, 5.7 yards per carry) and Tommy Farmer (417 yards, 7 TDs), the Gators may have a breakout candidate in tailback Quintin Smith, who’ll be a senior. On defense, the Gators return standout safety Justin Kren, a capable tackler (51 solo tackles) and ballhawk (five interceptions).

A difficult schedule and some tough breaks steered the Pirates into a losing 2015 season.

Despite starting the year 3-0, Pasco High ran into some tough competition in the middle of the season, losing four straight games to North Marion, Jesuit, Mitchell and Sunlake high schools.A heartbreaking 44-43 overtime loss to Springstead High added fuel to the fire.While the win-loss total doesn’t show it, the Pirates were loaded with talent, including cornerback Jayvauhn Myers (Auburn signee), offensive lineman Jamal Mention (Coffeyville (Kansas) Community College signee) and tight end Nick Bryant (Middle Tennessee signee). Coach McHugh must find a way to replace those productive players, and find a reliable quarterback after Michael Penix Jr. transferred to Tampa Bay Tech.

SUNLAKE HIGH SCHOOL COACH: BILL BROWNING (9TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 8-3

Another year, another terrific record.

That’s been the narrative for the Seahawks over the past six seasons under the leadership of head coach Bill Browning. Since 2010, the team has a combined record of 53-13.Though the team returns several players at the skill positions, one of the big questions leading into the season is how the team will fare on the offensive line, with the departures of Bryce Cooley (Angelo State signee), Joe Russum (Black Hills State signee) and Leo Baez (Bluefield College). If the Seahawks can create cohesion and provide enough protection in the trenches for standout pro-style quarterback Justin Hall

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY

The Sunlake Seahawks are looking to have their seventh straight winning season. To do so, Coach Bill Browning will have to replace several starters on the offensive line.

(1,729 yards, 17 TDs, 3 INTs), they should be in store for another winning season.

WESLEY CHAPEL HIGH SCHOOL COACH: ANTHONY EGAN (1ST YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 2-8

The Wildcats have suffered four straight losing seasons, and now it’s up to first-year head coach Anthony Egan — a former River Ridge High assistant — to turn the program around. Luckily for Egan, the cupboard isn’t bare. Signal-caller Jacob Thomas (44 percent completion, 1,825 yards, 17 TDs, 13 INTs) returns as well as pass-catchers Ben Goins (31 receptions, 403 yards) and Devin Singletary (23 receptions, 240 yards). On defense, the Wildcats return their top three tacklers in Marcus Gillott, Ellrie Allen and Christian Austin. To improve their record, the Wildcats must find a way to develop a consistent rushing attack (rushers averaged just 2.6 yards per carry) and they must win close games (the team lost three games by seven points or fewer in 2015.)

WIREGRASS RANCH HIGH SCHOOL COACH: MARK KANTOR (2ND YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 2-8

Coach Mark Kantor embarks on year two of what is perhaps a long-term rebuilding job. Prior to Kantor’s hiring in 2015, the Bulls had three coaches in four years, combining for an 8-32 record during that span.

To improve in 2016, the Bulls must find a way to stay healthy (19 season-ending injuries were suffered in 2015) and significantly improve on offense.The team averaged just 10.6 points per game in 2015, and was shutout in half of their games. If the Bulls can’t muster up better production from the quarterback position, it’ll be tough to secure a winning record.

The Bulldogs notched their fourth straight winning season in 2015, but they’ll enter the 2016 season with a new head coach in Nick Carroll, a former Sunlake High assistant. Carroll will try to duplicate the success of former coach Reggie Roberts, but will have a challenge on his hands. Running back Antwione Sims, the team’s leading offensive playmaker, tore his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) over a month ago, and will likely miss several games in 2016. Additionally, Carroll must find a way to get Bulldogs players to gel, and learn the style of offense and defense he’s implementing. Carroll expects several incoming freshmen and sophomores to make an impact in his first season.

ZEPHYRHILLS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY: COACH: MIKE SMITH (2ND YEAR, 11-MAN) 2015 RECORD: 4-4

The Warriors had a respectable 2015 season, if you consider it was their first season playing 11-man football after they dominated the 6-man ranks for several years. However, the team may be in for a setback in 2016, as they’ll be without their top offensive player, wide receiver Issac Johnson (62 receptions, 1,013 yards), and top defensive player, defensive lineman J’ Won Pickett. Both Johnson (Iowa Western Community College) and Pickett (Minnesota State Community College) are playing football at junior colleges next season.

The Warriors will also have to develop a new quarterback with the impending graduation of Matthew Iovine, an accurate passer (67 percent completion, 1,475 yards). Being without last year’s quarterback and top receiver may open the door to additional carries for returning running backs such as John Emmanual, Dwight Thomas and Mykh’ael Chavis.

Wiregrass Ranch coach Mark Kantor enters year two of what is likely a lengthy rebuilding job. The Bulls haven’t had a winning season since 2010.

GAITHER HIGH SCHOOL COACH: JASON STOKES (6TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 4-6

By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

pring football practices are underway for Hillsborough County schools in our coverage area. Programs such as Gaither High and Freedom High are hoping for turnarounds, while Steinbrenner and Wharton high schools are trying to build off last season’s successes. Carrollwood Day School fits the bill as a possible team on the rise for 2016.

S

CARROLLWOOD DAY SCHOOL COACH: LANE MCLAUGHLIN (10TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 7-4

Carrollwood Day School prep fans should be excited about the potential for an entertaining season, and not just because the private school’s football team will be playing at a brand-new athletic complex in 2016. A majority of Carrollwood’s young playmakers on offense return, including incumbent quarterback Raymond Woodie Jr., leading rusher Yahsin Wooten (740 yards, 8 TDs) and leading receiver Markeis Colvin (20 receptions, 501 yards, 4 TDs.) The Patriots also return their top two tacklers from last season in linebackers Ryan Verscharen and Stephen Walters, who will be seniors.

Replacing the production of two sack artists in Zac Watson-Parcells and Corey Shamley will be key to take a step forward in 2016.

FREEDOM HIGH SCHOOL COACH: FLOYD GRAHAM (1ST YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 3-7

It’s likely a rebuilding year for new Freedom coach Floyd Graham, who was of-

12A

May 4, 2016

New Freedom High football coach Floyd Graham is likely in for a rebuilding year, taking over a losing team (3-7) that lost several contributors.

ficially hired on April 1.The good news for those that closely follow Freedom’s program is it’s something Graham should be able to handle, considering he created football programs from scratch at both Newsome and Steinbrenner high schools.

However, Graham will have some uphill battles to climb in year one. Being hired in April doesn’t give him much time to implement his coaching philosophy, and develop a rapport with both players and assistant coaches. Also, the team is losing a plethora of seniors from 2015, including do-it-all playmaker Nasir Core.

In order to improve in 2016, the Cowboys must make some strides on the offensive side of the ball. The team scored nine points or fewer in six out of their 10 games. Luckily for Coach Stokes, bellcow running back Alex Rodriguez returns.

Getting quarterback Gavin Denboer to cut down on his interceptions (10) is a must.

The Cowboys defense should be able to hold its own, with the return of linebacker Decalon Brooks, last year’s leading tackler (114).The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Brooks, the son of Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend Derrick Brooks, is widely viewed as one of the top players in all of Tampa.The consensus three-star recruit already has Division I scholarship offers from Florida International University, Florida State University, University of Illinois and University of South Florida.

STEINBRENNER HIGH SCHOOL COACH: ANDRES PEREZ-REINALDO (5TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 9-2

The Warriors finally had a breakout season in 2015 under the tutelage of head coach Andres Perez-Reinaldo. Thanks to a potent offense and an at-times smothering defense, Steinbrenner’s only two setbacks last season were against dynasty prep programs in Manatee (Bradenton) High and Dr. Phillips (Orlando) High. On offense, quarterback Collin Wray (56 percent completion, 1,634 yards) returns, as do two of his favorite targets in Brett Bitter (35 receptions, 600 yards) and Carson Kaleo (34 receptions, 277 yards). Replacing the production of 1,000-yard rusher Jayquese Dantley is something the team will need to address.

Steinbrenner football coach Andres Perez-Reinaldo is looking to build off the team’s 9-2 campaign in 2015.

On defense, Coach Perez-Reinaldo and his staff must find some players that can carry the load, since the Warriors lose three leading tacklers in Tyler Mirabella, Patrick Lukert and Zack Deitz.

WHARTON HIGH SCHOOL COACH: DAVID MITCHELL (12TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 8-2

The Wildcats enjoyed a successful 2015 campaign, with sizable victories over the likes of King High, Gaither High, Wiregrass Ranch and Leto High. However, it won’t be easy to replicate the scoring outputs (at least 30 points in seven games) from 2015.

Coach Mitchell will have to replace quarterback Bryce Martin, leading rusher Miles Williams (1,102 yards, 10 TDs) and leading receiver Devontres Dukes (18 receptions, 360 yards) from last year’s squad.They also lost defensive stalwarts in linebacker Hayden Parks (75 tackles) and defensive lineman Godey Coleus (six sacks). One possible breakout candidate to watch is two-way player Shannon King, who will be a junior. The powerful 5-foot-10, 210pounder rushed for nearly 400 yards, adding 6.9 yards per carry.

Gulfport has ‘Old Florida’ charm Worth the Trip

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

I

f you’re looking for a day trip off the beaten path, Gulfport is a destination worth your time and travel.

It is a town with a sense of place rooted in Old Florida and often described as “a hidden gem.”

But, this quaint historical fishing village on the Boca Ciega Bay is far from hidden these days.

With a reviving waterfront district, a historical casino ballroom, art galleries, neighborhood bars and gourmet dining spots, Gulfport is being discovered as the place to enjoy the old, and the new.

Rainbow-colored shops, boutiques and restaurants along and around Beach Boulevard add texture to subtropical Florida, evoking another historical town to the south.

“I think what most come here for is the Key West lifestyle, before Key West became commercial,” said Scott Linde, president of the Gulf Port Merchants Association.“It conveys remembrances of old Florida. It has an artsy feel to it.We have all ages, all lifestyles here.”

Gulfport’s downtown charms are apparent during the community’s First Friday Art Walks, which are year-round on the First Friday and Third Friday of the month, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Beach and Shore boulevards are alive with activities, as artists, crafters and live performers give visitors a chance to browse, shop and be entertained.

The next First Friday is May 6 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Parking is free, and trolleys also are available for this pet and family friendly event.

Something is always happening at Gulfport, a town where the cheeky, fun-loving gecko is the year-round mascot. He emerged into the Gulfport spotlight in 2001 with the GeckoFest and Mullet Mutiny.

In 2004, the gecko partnered with the Gulfport Merchants Association to keep the annual party rolling.

On Aug. 5, there will be a Gecko Art Show; on Aug. 13, the Gecko Pub Crawl; on Aug. 27, a ball with the theme “20,000 Geckos Under the Sea”; and, on Sept. 3, a blow-out street festival.

But, there is no need to wait for Gecko festivities to make a trip to Gulfport.

On an ordinary day, the town rolls out the welcome mat.

Every Tuesday, fresh produce, cheese, honey and shrimp are on sale at the Fresh Market, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., on Beach Boulevard by the waterfront.Arts and crafts, live music and more than a dozen restaurants add to the fun. Summer hours from June through September are from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Clothing swaps are on the second Tuesday of each month from 9 a.m. to 1

Gulfport First Friday Art Walk WHAT: Artists, crafters and live entertainment will offer visitors plenty to see, enjoy and perhaps even buy during First Friday Art Walk festivities.

WHEN: This takes place year-round, on the first and third Friday of each month, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The next one is May 6.

WHERE: 3007 Beach Blvd., Gulfport, 33707 COST: Free parking, free trolley rides, petfriendly

Visitors to Gulfport enjoyed their trip on the Gulfport Shopapalooza Trolley at the GeckoFest.

Pia’s Trattoria is one of many fine dining spots in downtown Gulfport, along Beach and Shore boulevards.

Beach volleyball is a favorite sport in Gulfport, which overlooks Boca Ciega Bay.

The historical Peninsula Inn is a boutique hotel in the heart of Gulfport, dating to 1904. Guests and the public also can dine at the hotel’s restaurant, Isabelle’s.

Costumes are encouraged at Gecko festivities, including the annual street festival on Labor Day weekend.

p.m., as part of the Fresh Market.

In the fall, the Gulfport Historical Society celebrates the town’s history with a month of activities including the Flying Mullet 5K. The nonprofit also operates the Gulfport History Museum at 5301 28th Ave., S. The history museum is open to the public, with no admission charge, and features an impressive display of historical documents and photographs from the town’s history and its families, dating to the 1880s.

The museum also hosts occasional exhibits and walking tours of the town’s brick-lined streets, and historical homes and businesses.

Other special events during the year include Spring Fest to celebrate the changing

seasons; Get Rescued, an animal rescue festival; and, the Pink Flamingo home tour.

In Gulfport, it seems, there really is something for everyone.

Daniel Hodge found that out when he moved from San Francisco to Gulfport nearly a decade ago to live near family.

Gulfport offers beauty, and perhaps a bit of romance, as the sun settles down for the night.

now vice president of the merchants’ association, and a Gulfport fan.

“It was a great move for a lot of reasons,” he said.“(Gulfport’s) charm has really gotten a lot of notice and respect.We want to keep it small, quaint and colorful.”

Fresh fruits, vegetables, honey, cheese and seafood are for sale at Gulfport’s Fresh Market, every Tuesday in the waterfront district.

More than 40 people gathered outside the Gulfport History Museum for a walking tour, sponsored by the Gulfport Historical Society. The tour included stops at historical homes along brick-lined streets, and a tour of downtown.
