Laura Vinogradov stumbled upon Lutz six years ago during a statewide search for her dog care business,The Barking Lot. She wanted a place with a country feel, but still close enough to civilization. But more importantly,Vinogradov wanted somewhere she could call home. Lutz has fit all those requirements perfectly, and Vinogradov is happy with the success of her business, which employs six

PCPT grows up, but privatization on table By Michael Hinman mhinman@lakerlutznews.com
After 42 years of service, Pasco County Public Transportation has finally graduated to its own department. Pasco County commissioners last week voted to move PCPT from its division status with the county’s Community Services Department to its own department. Transportation manager Michael Carroll will stay in charge, albeit with a new title. The move was warranted now that PCPT is now a $6.4 million department that employs 72 people, according to county administrator Michele Baker.The transition will not cost the county any money since Carroll’s salary will remain the same. See PCPT, page 29

The public transit department in Pasco County is finally becoming its own department, but could privatization be on its way?
It’s that time of year again, when young men and women dress in caps and gowns and march into their futures. In many ways, it’s a rite of passage that doesn’t change much from year to year. There’ll be music, speeches, and of course, the reading of the graduates’ names. Hundreds of diplomas will be conferred at some ceremonies, while others will have fewer than 10. The events will be held in places as varied as W.F. Edwards Stadium to the First Baptist Church sanctuary, and from the Florida State Fairgrounds to the University of South Florida Sun Dome. Whether it’s Freedom, Steinbrenner, Land O’ Lakes, Sunlake, Pasco, Zephyrhills,Wesley Chapel or Wiregrass Ranch high schools, or Academy at the Lakes, Bishop McLaughlin, Land O’ Lakes Christian or Zephyrhills Christian Academy — these ceremonies have special meaning to the graduates, their families and friends, and their teachers and administrators. Commencement exercises tend to have a familiar feel, but each class is unique. The Class of 2014 is filled with members of a generation when Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest and Obamacare became household words. They carry smartphones, which they use to text — not talk — to their friends and to snap selfies in every conceivable place. They’ve been witnesses to history: The beginning of a new millennium, the election of the nation’s first African-American president, the legalization of same-sex marriages in some places, and the legal sale of marijuana in others. They’ve seen increasing conflicts abroad, rising concerns about cybersecurity and the effects that the recession has had on their family’s personal wealth. But none of this is likely to be on their minds, as they march to the sounds of “Pomp and Circumstance.” As they wrap up their high school academic career, some are planning careers in medicine, finance, pharmacy or aerospace engineering. Others aren’t sure of what path they’ll pursue, and some will wind up in careers that have not even yet been invented. Some plan to attend exclusive colleges in faraway places, while others will attend classes closer to home at the University of South Florida, Pasco-Hernando State College, Hillsborough Community College, Saint Leo University, Rasmussen College and other local institutions. For students living in Wesley Chapel, this will be the first graduating class to have the option of remaining in their community to attend college classes. Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch, a satellite of PHSC, opened in January. For now, though, it’s time to savor the moment, for graduates to pose for photographs with friends and families, and to enjoy celebrations, before finding a path to call their own.

On the move: Tigers go from Dade City to Montana By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com
Two Dade City sisters just moved to Montana. There’s more to the story, of course. The sisters, Jasmine and Sophie, are 2-yearold Siberian tigers who were born at Dade City’s Wild Things, an ecotourism sanctuary zoo located at 37245 Meridian Ave. And they moved to Montana because they were donated to ZooMontana, a zoo in Billings to rejuvenate their tiger exhibit, which had just lost its only tiger due to cancer. “They weren’t interested in breeding and they didn’t want babies,� said Kathy Stearns, director at Dade City’s Wild Things. ZooMontana “wanted young tigers that would be well-adjusted, and being that our tigers have worked with people, they were very adjusted.� Dade City’s Wild Things does exhibit their own animals, but that’s just a part of their mission. In addition to rescuing and adopting animals, often providing lifetime care, they also breed and supply other zoos when they can meet their needs. In this case, the tigers were deemed to be a good fit, so they arrived in Billings last week. Determining a good fit is something Stearns takes seriously. She said that before any animals go to another facility, repre-
sentatives from Dade City’s Wild Things will visit the location to check living arrangements for size and safety.They also get a feel for the receiving location’s philosophy and ability to handle the animals. And in the case of the tigers, handlers will stay there for a day or two after they arrive to make sure the transition is smooth, the animals are adjusting, and all questions and concerns have been addressed. They also will monitor their progress in the future to make sure the sisters are doing well in their new home. But even without the tigers, there are still plenty of other animals to care for in Dade City.They have a wide variety of residents living on their 22-acre facility, including bears, alligators and lions.They also house the infamous “Mystery Monkey,� a rhesus macaque who had been on the loose in the Tampa Bay area for more than three years and had gained quasi-celebrity status before being captured in 2012. Dade City’s Wild Things is open like a regular zoo and has animals on exhibit. Education, however, is paramount, and that becomes evident in their tours. “One thing that we do a little different is that ours (are) always guided,� Stears said. “We have people that go (with visitors) because we want to educate, we want people to learn about the animals. So instead of a free walk-around, you’re going

to have guides that actually go with you and talk to you about the animals.� Stearns believes the tigers are a good fit for their new home, and will help create an interesting and informative exhibit in Montana. And helping provide that information to zoo-goers around the country is in-line with her organization’s mission of keeping the public educated as well as entertained. “That’s what we’re all about is education, and getting people to be aware of
these animals and their plight in the wild,� Stearns said. “So we want people to be able to see these animals. People can’t afford to go to Africa to see a lion. The whole point of zoos is to educate.� Dade City’s Wild Things has more than 200 animals on display, surrounded by a botanical garden landscape.Walking tours and tram rides are available, as well as some hands-on encounters.

PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
Graduation makes being a parent worth it By Diane Kortus Publisher
I’ve been waiting to write this column for four years. My daughter, Rachel Mathes, graduated from Stetson University earlier this month with a bachelor’s degree. Not only did Rachel graduate in four years, she also started a job in her field two days after she received her diploma. Rachel’s major was art, a major I was never that crazy about because I assumed it would be very difficult to translate into a job. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 27 percent of college graduates have jobs that match their college major. But Rachel always believed she would beat the odds and proved she was right when she was hired to head up the art program at a large corporate day care center in Jacksonville. My feelings about Rachel’s graduation and the beginning of her professional career are a jumble of emotion. I am, of course, tremendously proud of my daughter. And COURTESY OF VIC ANTHONY then there’s the feeling of great relief that Publisher Diane Kortus and daughter Rachel Mathes after commencement ceremonies Rachel is employed in a job she is excited May 10 at Stetson University in Deland. about.

couragement and confidence in their abilities that kept them going. Teens and young adults look to us for the confidence they don’t have and our belief that they will succeed. As Rachel told me, dropping out of college was never an option for her because I was always there cheering her on and believing without a doubt that she would graduate. To celebrate the achievements of our local graduates, and also their parents’ success in funneling their energies to get to graduation, the center section of today’s paper lists the names of every graduating high school senior in our community. If you live in Land O’ Lakes and Pasco Lutz, today’s Laker has the names of graduating seniors from Sunlake and Land O’ Lakes high schools.The Wesley Chapel edition lists graduates from Wiregrass Ranch and Wesley Chapel high schools. Folks in the east side of the county have the names of graduates from Zephyrhills and Pasco high schools. And if you live in Hillsborough County and receive the Lutz News, your names are graduates from Steinbrenner and Freedom high schools. In addition to students from these public schools, we also are publishing the names of graduates from four private schools:Academy at the Lakes, Land O’ Lakes Christian, Bishop McLaughlin and Zephyrhills Christian high schools. Today parents will search the alphabetical listings in our graduation section.And when they see the name of their son or daughter, they will feel proud and good because they know their hard work as parents has paid off. And like me, they will reflect back on their many years as a parent and remember that despite the challenges and struggles, it was all worth it.

(Re)discovering Dupree Gardens Presenting the Past By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com
D
upree Lakes is a nice community in Pasco County near Ehren Cutoff. The homes look great and the area is well-maintained. Just driving through, you can see it’s a pleasant residential area. But it’s not a destination for visitors or anything. Nobody’s going to buy tickets to go see it, and they don’t need a gift shop to accommodate all the people looking for souvenirs. It’s not a tourist attraction, after all. But almost 75 years ago, it was.A tourist attraction, I mean. Back then, Dupree Lakes was Dupree Gardens, and there were no homes — just 25 acres of colorful flowers, vines and palm trees. Trails and fruit trees. Green grass and bushes. A gift shop and a tearoom. It was a popular tourist destination that attracted people from all over the country. Think of it as being like Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, only bigger and better. No offense to Sunken Gardens, of course. I’ve been there, and it’s a nice spot. But by all accounts, Dupree Gardens was a really big deal, especially for its time. It was actually part of a larger estate owned by J.William Dupree, a Tampa attorney.And by “larger,” I mean 900 acres. But the section called Dupree Gardens
The stand for the gate that used to control traffic going into Dupree Gardens still stands today. It allowed its last cars to pass just after World War II.
attracted as many as 30,000 visitors during its season from mid-November to the end of April, and had a reputation for being a beautiful place to visit. It was especially known for its exotic flowers:Violets, poppies, magnolias, azaleas, calendulas and camellias. Now, I’ll be honest. I don’t know much about flowers. Aside from the violet, I had to look up each one to see what they looked like. I even had to double-check how to spell some of them. But by looking at the old photos, you can tell that it was a special place. No matter what you had going on in your life, it was a unique escape that was visually stimulating, natural and tranquil. Nothing else looked like it. By the way, it wasn’t just flowers and trees.You could eat in the restaurant (located in the tearoom) or take an electric-powered boat ride across the lake. That was a pretty unique experience for people. Remember, it was the early 1940s. So what happened to Dupree Gardens? Well, it was the early 1940s.The attraction

All that remains of Dupree Gardens is an old ticket booth that served visitors. It still stands on the property of what is now Dupree Lakes, a residential community.
got off the ground right as World War II was heating up.That also was a pretty big deal, and the restrictions placed on people — gasoline rationing and limited private travel to save resources for the war — made it hard to attract enough visitors. Dupree Gardens limped along, but the strain of the war took its toll, and eventually, it closed down. The land was sold, the flowers made way for home development, and Dupree Gardens became nothing but a very pleasant memory. Well, not exactly.The ticket booth is still there. But there are no attractions, no tickets to sell and nobody to sell them to you even if they had some.
On the bright side, there are no long lines. You can walk right up to the booth any time you like, with no waiting.There’s just nothing to buy. Still, it’s worth a quick trip just to see the original ticket booth and the plaque marking it as one of the Historic Places of Pasco County. More than seven decades ago, people walked up to that same booth for a chance to see a nationally known attraction right in this neighborhood. And now, it’s a neighborhood in itself. Things change. But it’s worth remembering that Dupree Lakes was once Dupree Gardens, and it’s still a unique part of area history.

TOWNVIEW APARTMENTS SOLD
Townview Apartments, located in the heart of the Zephyrhills business district, are now under new ownership. Kraus Townview Apartments LP finalized its purchase of the 46-unit complex at 38124 Townview Ave., in Zephyrhills, on May 12 for $2.1 million, or $45,650 per unit. It was sold by Regal Properties Capital, which had purchased the nearly 30-year-old complex in 2008 for $2.4 million. Kraus Townview purchased the complex using a $1.5 million mortgage from TD Bank, according to Pasco County property records.The Waterloo, Ontario-based company includes among its managers Michael Weber and Nelson Kraus, according to state
corporation records. The complex is located on nearly 3 acres of land, off Gall Boulevard just south of Pretty Pond Road. The sale is the largest real estate transaction so far this year in Zephyrhills, topping the $1.5 million sale of the All Craft Marine location on County Road 54 by its tenants last February.
FLORIDA ADDING JOBS
Florida’s private sector added 33,700 jobs in April, bringing its total to 600,400 since December 2010. Gov. Rick Scott’s office released the news, adding that Florida’s unemployment rate also dropped slightly to 6.2 percent last month.That makes it the ninth consecutive month the state’s unemployment rate has been below the national rate. The state’s over-the-year job growth rate in April of 3.3 percent is the fastest annual job growth rate since March 2006, before the housing market crash. Florida’s 24 regional workforce boards reported more than 42,500 Floridians were placed in jobs in April.That includes anyone who received unemployment and training assistance through a CareerSource Center, and finds a job within 180 days. Of those people, more than 8,800 of them were receiving unemployment benefits.

For whatever reason they feel stuck, they aren’t motivated to stay on track with eating healthy or exercising on a regular basis and each month they find that they have either stayed the same or worse, gained more weight! It’s when they finally come to the realization that, “I know I can’t do this on my own, I need someone to help me.” That is when they call us. It’s okay.

A SPECIAL KEEPSAKE EDITION FOR GRADUATES, THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS
Congratulations Class of 2014! An Open Letter to the Pasco County Class of 2014 Y
ou made it! The day you’ve set your sights on since you entered elementary school has finally arrived. The day some of you may have doubted would ever come is here. The day you worked so hard for, spent so many hours studying to reach — Graduation Day — is upon you. Now what? After you’ve been fitted for your cap and gown, sent out invitations, walked across the stage, and received your diploma, you have the majority of your life to plan for. My hope is that the Pasco County school district has challenged you and given you the knowledge and inspiration to prepare you for college, career, and life, so that you can be successful from graduation day forward. Graduating from high school is a major milestone in your life. Your future will bring you additional milestones, like landing a job, graduating from college, or getting married. My hope for each and every one of you is that you achieve your goals, and that you do so with honor and integrity. It may not always be easy, but if you set your goals and tackle obstacles with determination and dignity, you can be satisfied that you did your best. That’s success. I wish you all success as responsible and productive citizens. Congratulations! Sincerely,
Kurt S. Browning Pasco County Superintendent of Schools

ROBERTSON FIRST TO QUALIFY FOR COMMISSION RACE
Pasco County Commission candidate Bob Robertson said he was the first in his race to officially qualify for the election, reaching his goal of more than 3,100 voter signatures in his effort to replace Pat Mulieri in District 2. “I think it’s important for voters to know that there are two ways to get your name on the ballot in Pasco County,” Robertson said, in a release.“You can go out (and) shake hands and talk to people, or you can pay a filing fee of nearly $5,000. I don’t think I’d be a financially responsible candidate if I was willing to throw away that kind of money instead of taking the time to meet the people of our county.” Many candidates chose to qualify by petition, many times utilizing volunteers to help canvas events and collect signatures from registered voters. Roberts raised $551 for his campaign in April, according to election records, bringing his total to $11,411. The Zephyrhills financial planner faces former state Rep. Ken Littlefield and local entrepreneur Mike Moore in the Republican primary in August. Littlefield raised $2,200 in April to bring his campaign total to $4,400, while Moore outraised everyone with $22,300 in April, bringing his total to $72,861. The lone Democrat in the race, Erika Remsberg, raised $105 in April, bringing her total to $553.

Sunlake’s Nichols signs on to acrobatics, tumbling in Connecticut By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com
Athlete signings are common for high school players. If someone excels at their sport, they often get a chance to continue competing at the next level. Football, basketball, soccer and baseball are just a few sports where graduating seniors continue playing as college freshmen. Cheerleaders, however, are now becoming part of that group. Skye Nichols, a captain for Sunlake High School’s state championship cheerleading team, will attend Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut, and compete for the school. But technically, it won’t be cheerleading. The Bobcats have an acrobatics and tumbling team, and Nichols was recruited to be a member of the squad. “I feel very blessed.That’s the only way I can describe it,” she said.“I only dreamt about it, and I still can’t believe it’s reality.” The Bobcats do have a spirit squad, but Nichols isn’t planning on participating.That group performs more of the traditional cheerleading functions, but the acrobatics and tumbling team is part of a sport, which suits her better. They’ll have a schedule where they square off against other teams in group and individual categories, and do extensive traveling to compete in different locations around the country. While Nichols is excited to be part of the competition, she realizes it will mean a lot more work. Rigorous practices and weight

COURTESY OF SUNLAKE HIGH SCHOOL
Skye Nichols takes part in a ceremonial signing with Sunlake High School principal Steve Williams, left, cheerleading coach Pennye Garcia and Nichols’ mother, Sheri. Nichols will enter Quinnipiac University with championship cheerleading experience, and she’ll use it to compete on the school’s acrobatics and tumbling team.
training are just part of the schedule, and she’ll have to balance that with pursuing her studies in sports management. But her cheerleading coach at Sunlake, Pennye Garcia, believes Nichols’ time as a cheerleader has her well-equipped to succeed. “It’s her drive,” Garcia said.“When she really wants something, she will keep working at it.” Nichols was a team captain, and was
called upon to not only study technique and offer corrections, but also motivate her teammates when they were losing focus, Garcia said. Her ability to remain motivated while also motivating others helped separate her from less-driven athletes. Nichols believes the leadership role helped her as well. “I definitely think it gave me experience how to work with people, and how the best way in working with people is leading by ex-
ample,” she said. “Also, being friends with them makes a big difference. If you’re just strict all the time, I feel like you kind of lose respect, but you’ve got to care about them to earn respect.” But there’s also a physical aspect to cheerleading, and Garcia said it revolves around strength.As a base — someone who stays at the bottom of the formation and helps support others — Nichols needs good leg strength.Those physical skills helped her get recruited by Quinnipiac. And while Nichols feels the school is a perfect fit for her, it wasn’t part of her original plan. Her first choice of school didn’t work out, and her path wasn’t shaping up the way she wanted. But when she visited the Quinnipiac’s campus, she realized that the new opportunity was actually better than her planned one. “Right when I went to the school I was like, this couldn’t have been any better for me,” she said.“It just felt so right.” School also is important to Nichols, whose GPA is 4.05. She considers herself to be competitive and something of a perfectionist, and while that’s translated to success in the classroom and on the mat, she believes that self-confidence and hard work will help her face the coming challenges of a new city, new school and a new level of competition. “I think anything you do that’s really new is a little nerve-racking, but I just believe in myself that I can handle it,” Nichols said.“I pushed myself really hard these four years, and I think that definitely conditioned me for the next four years.”

Athletes sign with future colleges By Michael Hinman mhinman@lakerlutznews.com
College signings are always bittersweet — parents and coaches proud to watch their athletes move on to the next level, but still sad to see them go. And Gaither High School has a strong contingent of athletes heading on to college with scholarships, including four who officially signed with their respective schools last week. Brad Smith and Bryan Hartman, part of a Cowboys football team that went 5-6 this season, will find themselves playing together next fall as well. Smith, a defensive end and inside linebacker, and Hartman — an inside linebacker — will head to Methodist University in Fayetteville, North Carolina. “Football isn’t easy nowadays, especially all year round,” head coach Jason Stokes said. “The thing that I know that these young men are going to be successful is just because of their attitude.They do whatever it takes for their teams. They lay it on the line, they play multiple positions, and they don’t come off the field.” Also heading to college is Veronica Garcia, one of the leaders of Gaither’s volley-
ball team, who will spend next season at Ave Maria University, located on the northwest side of Alligator Alley in South Florida. “The best thing I can say about Veronica is that she loves to play volleyball,” coach Tim Boylan said.“I’m so happy for her that she’ll be able to continue playing at the next level. It’s not work for her. She just loves being on a volleyball court.” Randy Oliva won’t stray too far from home, either. He’s heading to Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, where he’ll play baseball for the Owls. “He’s a hardworking guy,” Gaither baseball coach Frank Permuy said.“He’s the first guy on the field, and the last guy to leave every day. He’s one of the guys that always makes me late for dinner.” Oliva started as a catcher for the Cowboys, but was playing third base by the time his freshman year ended. He moved to second base in his junior year because of an injury, and ended his time at Gaither at shortstop. “He’s going to have a wonderful career, and not only that, he is a great student,” Permuy said. “He isn’t going to have any problems in college because his work ethic is going to carry him a long way.”

There have been so many changes in how dentistry is practiced since we opened our dental office 25 years ago in Land O’ Lakes. We want to use this dedicated space in The Laker and Lutz News to answer questions we are frequently asked and to share with you information about new innovations that make dentistry pain free and affordable.
Q A
Can periodontal disease be related to premature and low birth weight babies?
Several recent studies suggest that women with periodontal disease may be at more risk. Periodontal disease is a chronic bacteria-induced inflammatory condition that attacks gum tissue and the bone supporting the teeth. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists’ recently released a statement encouraging pregnant women to maintain their oral health and recommend regular dental cleanings even during pregnancy. According to the American Dental Hygienists’ Association, recent studies have shown that women with periodontal disease are at 3 to 5 times greater risk of preterm birth than those who are periodontally healthy.

PCPT, from page 1
TaskIt-Pets is a new app for smartphones that can link together multiple people caring for a single animal. It provides reminders and accountability, something developer Laura Vinogradov said was lacking from other pet care apps.
APP, from page 1 truly loves. Yet, Vinogradov knew there was much more she could do for animal lovers, since not many can afford the luxury of professionals to care for their pets. And that’s when TaskIt-Pets was born. “A couple years ago, I was approached to build an app for the pet care industry, and I knew nothing about apps,”Vinogradov said. “It was a very steep learning curve.” The idea was to build an app that would help a pet owner schedule tasks needed for their dog, cat, or any animal living at the house. It would range from walks to baths to feeding times to giving necessary medication. And it hit close to home for Vinogradov. One of her dogs suffers from hyperthyroidism, and requires meds twice a day. But even the most dedicated pet lovers are human, and it can be easy to forget a dose from time to time. “Over time, especially with a very busy life, I and everyone else might have to stop and think, ‘Did I give her medication?’” Vinogradov said. “It got to be one more thing on a very busy plate.” TaskIt-Pets takes the question out of the equation, she said.While it might not be the first app that offers such help, it is one of the first to do something a step beyond that — network everyone together who might care for a particular pet. The app links people together, providing real-time scheduling and updates to not only make sure tasks involving pets are done, but that everyone is held accountable. That could be a professional pet caregiver, a family member, or even the neighbor. “Say you’re a professional pet care giver, and you have dog walkers working for you,” Vinogradov said. “You don’t know who showed up on time and who didn’t, but the app will tell you that.And the app will remind them when it’s time for them to go do it.” The app launched earlier this month in Apple’s iTunes Store for iPhone and other Apple-based portable devices. It’s expected to be launched for Android and Windows platforms in the coming weeks. The starting price is $1.99 annually, part
of which will go back to Apple, Google and Microsoft for distributing the app in the first place. Vinogradov feels she has a new product on the market that will prove quite popular. However, she also knows that it competes with about 1 million other apps — and that’s just what Apple offers. There have been a lot of success stories when it comes to apps, however, turning some developers into instant millionaires. Vinogradov doesn’t know if she’ll ever get that kind of success, but she’ll be happy if something she helped create can improve the lives of animals and their caregivers — something she has been passionate about since she was a young girl. “My first love is working with the dogs, and working with families with dogs,” Vinogradov said.“I can talk dog all day long. But having that said, this has been a phenomenal experience, and very exciting. I’ve loved this whole process from Day One.” Developing apps isn’t for everyone, Vinogradov said, and it takes the right approach and a little bit of luck to find success. The first step for someone wanting to step into those waters, however, is to first make sure there is a need for it. “You have to do your homework,” she said.“Is there an app out there already? Of course, if there is, that doesn’t mean that you can’t develop one. But you have to look at other ways that you can improve on it.” Vinogradov looked at a number of popular existing apps, researching the developers behind it, before settling on a Florida-based company to design hers. “You need to find a developer you can work with, and they have to be reputable,” she said. The idea of scheduling tasks for other people in a real-time environment has become the foundation for two new apps Vinogradov hopes to release in the future. One is focused on family life itself, while another would help address home health care needs of a loved one. “There’s no telling where this could go,” she said.

“I strongly support this,” Commissioner Pat Mulieri said at a meeting last week. “I think Mike has a vision.” Creating a new department for PCPT could allow the transit service to get out of the shadow of being a service for just the economically disadvantaged and the underserved, Baker said. Carroll’s goals have been focused on increasing ridership, especially among young people who could be convinced to use mass transit instead of adding another car to already congested roads. The service currently has 16 fixed-route transit buses traversing the county, including two that take passengers to and from Pinellas County, according to PCPT’s website. Even if ridership increases, public transportation remains a service subsidized by taxpayers, and one commissioner feels it’s time to talk about that. “This seems like one of the perfect times to talk about moving to privatize,” Commissioner Kathryn Starkey said.“I don’t
know if anyone else has ever thought about it, and I’m not suggesting it now. But I am saying this is an opportunity for us to discuss if we ever want to have a discussion on privatization.” Commissioner Henry Wilson said he would be interested in that discussion as well, although commissioners didn’t set a timetable on when such a conversation would take place. Privatizing public transportation has become a controversial issue in some parts of the country.Those for it say it helps streamline the service so that costs can be cut without sacrificing quality. Opponents, however, say there are minimal if any cost savings, and a lot of that is lost by problems that arise from lack of government oversight, including higher accident rates and poor vehicle maintenance. Public transportation privatization has not really reached too much into the Tampa Bay area as of yet, but some school districts like the one in Hillsborough County have explored privatizing school buses in an effort to manage a $60 million transportation budget, according to published reports.

Exceptional Care for You and Your Baby
“They made my delivery so easy.”
Ally C., a real patient of St. Joseph’s Hospital-North
Ally chose St. Joseph’s Hospital-North because she knew she would be in good hands. The calming atmosphere and spacious environment allowed her and her growing family to feel comfortable and embrace their new arrival. Ally was grateful for the amazing experience and exceptional care she received.
Welcoming a new baby? Having a baby is an exciting time. You want exceptional care during labor and delivery, as well as during your stay at the hospital. We offer experienced labor and delivery nurses, new private rooms, advanced technology for monitoring your unborn baby and excellent postpartum care.
Choose St. Joseph’s Hospital-North for your delivery experience.
