“Development is coming. We know it happens,” he said. “If we don’t do it (preserve wildlife corridors) now, we’re going to miss the opportunity.”

Conservation brings a host of benefits, including clean air and water, flood control and carbon storage,Wiley said.

But it also has economic benefits from increased property values and revenues from eco-tourism, he added.

“It’s not about moving bugs and bunnies from one area to another,” said Wiley.

To date, the county has acquired more than 3,000 acres through ELAMP. Some of those See WILDLIFE, page 9A

Pat Gavros set off on a journey last month, in a personal show of gratitude to the nation’s veterans and first responders.

It was a 21-day trip that took her through 19 states, with stops at veterans’ homes, police and fire stations, and memorials.

Along the way, Gavros handed out plaques and cards, thanking the men and women she met for their service.

She made the trip alone. She ate inexpensive meals and carried apples, bananas, yogurt and water in the car.

She had scheduled many of the visits she made during her travels, but there were spontaneous stops, as well.

Gavros is a 67-year-old woman who lives in Dade City.

She said she made the trip because when it comes to patriotism, she considers the word to be more of a verb than a noun.

“Talk is cheap,” Gavros said, adding, in matters of gratitude, actions are what count.

“I just am passionate about honoring our veterans. I thought, why don’t I drive to different states and visit different veterans’

“Then, when I started thinking about it, I thought, ‘You know what? Our first responders – those people in uniform — they’re part of our patriotic fabric. The people that keep us safe. They allow us to live the lifestyle without ever giving it a thought.

You never think, ‘Oh, if my house burns, who can I call?’ ” she said.

Gavros began planning the trip in January, choosing a path that included important memorials and was compact enough she could make it happen.

And, she began seeking supporters.

No dodging Lutz man’s success

By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

Rick Moody’s career revolves around dodgeball.

But it was a game he didn’t like as a child.

“I know when I was a kid, dodgeball was scary,” the Lutz resident said. “You’d line up at the back of the wall and hope you don’t get hit, because it would knock your teeth out or break your nose.”

Moody’s bad memories were shared by other teachers when he taught physical education. They didn’t like the idea of children risking injury and bullying. And, if the gymnasium wasn’t available, there was no way to play it outside without chasing the ball most of the time.

So Moody came up with some solutions.

First, he focused on the ball.

Gone are the days of hard rubber speeding toward a player’s head.

In Moody’s system, the ball is foam, including a foam core, with a cloth-like covering on the exterior.

When this ball hits, it doesn’t hurt. And, it can’t be used as a weapon in the hands of an aggressive person.

Next, there’s the arena where children and adults can play the game.

Moody designed and built a structure with plastic walls that exceed 8 feet and in-

cludes netting.

The structure can be set up indoors or outdoors, takes around 15 minutes to put together and creates a fun atmosphere to play a popular game without the danger and risks that are normally associated with it.

Eventually, Moody realized he didn’t just have an idea. He had a business.

Since Dodgeball2You really got going last year, the company has done more than 200 events, with around 50,000 participants enjoying the new brand of dodgeball.

That includes a lot of repeat business, and it includes parties, gatherings at colleges and churches, and other special events.

For $200 to $300, depending on the season, an event or party can have a complete dodgeball setup, including equipment and a game manager who keeps things moving.

Moody’s system features continuous play, so people can drop out and jump in as they like. At pay-for-play events, individuals can play as much as they want, with prices ranging from $10 to $50.

Aside from being fun, Moody sees other benefits in playing dodgeball.

As a former physical education teacher who ran his own running camps, and coached cross country and track and field at the college level, he knows the importance of physical fitness and the dangers of childhood obesity.

Some children spend their free time playing video games but can’t do a sit-up or push-up, Moody said. Getting in some exercise — hours of it at some events — is good for children.

“If we can get them out there exercising secretly, without them really knowing it, I See DODGING, page 9A

‘I’m always up for a challenge,’ teacher says

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

As students head off for summer vacation, Becky Cicione will simply be changing her teaching venue.

The Connerton Elementary School teacher will spend her summer teaching in Pasco County Schools’ science camp for children at Title 1 schools.

“When I do my work in the summertime, it’s an outdoor science camp that’s enhanced by iPads. It’s held through district.

We go to different locations.

“Every week, I have a new school. I spend four days with those kids,” she said, doing hands-on experiments.

When she’s not teaching the summer classes, though, she teaches fifth-graders at Connerton Elementary School in Land O’ Lakes.

Her favorite age group is between 9 and 14, she said.

“That’s the age group where they start to develop their real personalities,” she said.

She enjoys trying to teach them crucial information as they begin to exhibit “that teen attitude,” she said. “I’m always up for a challenge.”

She also enjoys using technology in her classroom to help students learn.

She doesn’t use technology every day because the school doesn’t have enough equipment to make that happen, but she sees its value.

During a recent mathematics class, for instance, Cicione posed a number of questions, which students worked out on iPads, which had been checked out for the class.

Except for some technical glitches, the students worked quickly through a series of problems.

Cicione projected the work and the answers on a board, so students could see the results.

At the same time, the computers tracked the students’ work — giving the teacher a tool she can use to help her pinpoint which students are struggling, as well as to see who is staying on pace or excelling.

She used an app called NearPod that allows her to see and save each child’s response to her questions. She can use the information she gleans to provide immediate support when students need it.

The teacher thinks that her use of technology may have contributed to her recognition by Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Cabinet during a spring meeting at the Florida State Fairgrounds.

Cicione doesn’t know who nominated

A collection of gifts and other items in Becky Cicione’s classroom help convey the teacher’s enthusiasm for teaching, especially the plate that reads, ‘Teaching is the profession that creates all others.’

Helpful tips for parents of teenagers The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

It likely comes as no surprise to parents of teenagers that challenges abound during these years.

For a teenager, these years are some of the most important and influential years of his or her life.

For a parent, these years can be especially frustrating, as they watch their teens act rashly, without thinking.

Many parents do not realize that their child’s bad decision-making is biological, according to the experts at TeenSafe, a company that has developed a system that parents can use to see their child’s smartphone and online activity.

During adolescence, the teenage brain is only 80 percent developed, and therefore incredibly susceptible to peer-pressure, risky behavior and less likely to make mature deci-

sions,TeenSafe experts say.

Communication between parent and child is especially critical during these years, they add.

“As parents, we must remember that along with the rush of hormones during puberty, teenage brains are also experiencing major changes. Their brains are not even fully developed until (an individual is) 25 years old,” said Ameeta Jain, co-founder of TeenSafe. “The areas of their brain controlling judgment, rational thinking and self-control are underdeveloped, and parents should be aware of this to better understand and find a common ground with their children. The hurdles of teenage years are not easy, and they need a parent’s love and guidance as they work through difficult situations.”

So, what’s the science behind it?

During teenage adolescence, the prefrontal

cortex is poorly balanced with the remaining emotional part of the brain, leading to irrational behavior and vulnerability to peer pressure. The underdeveloped frontal region of the brain also contributes to the inability to rationalize emotional responses and read adult facial expressions. This can lead to miscommunication and misrepresentation, TeenSafe experts say.

“Kids go to these environments that you can’t control, and they’ll be tempted to do things because their prefrontal cortex isn’t well developed,” according to Dr. Darcia

One of the fastest ways to receive accurate, official information is to monitor @HealthyFla on Twitter and FLDepartmentofHealth on Facebook.

The department uses these tools, in collaboration with other response partners, to share important health-related and other safety information to help protect Floridians and visitors.

Narvaez, a professor of psychology at Notre Dame.

“They’ll make bad choices, even if you’ve given them the best parenting in the world.

For that reason, you need to monitor,” she said.

As an advocate of parental monitoring software, Narvaez still advises that parents be very open with their kids about whatever monitoring they decide to do.

So, what can parents do?

Here are some suggestions: • Recognize that maturity is highly influence by biological factors. Regardless of how mature their child may seem, teenagers do not understand risks and repercussions the way adults do.

• Keep the lines of communication open • Offer support and advice without judgment • Stay involved in their lives and know whom they’re talking to • Set healthy boundaries and clear expectations For more resources and parenting tips, go to Teenology, TeenSafe’s blog.

Art quilts show off Tampa Bay history

MILITARY

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Joanne Rodriguez knew immediately which historical Tampa landmark she wanted to create on her appliqued quilt – the image of the iconic minarets at the University of Tampa.

“When I came down to Florida in the 1980s, I just thought they were so beautiful,” said the Wisconsin native. “It’s very Tampa.”

Her quilt is one of several on display through June at an art exhibit – “Memories of Tampa Bay” - at the Jimmie B. Keel Regional Library, 2902 W. Bearss Ave. Other quilts feature landmarks such as the St. Petersburg Pier, the Hotel Floridan in downtown Tampa, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and the Dade City Historic Courthouse.

The idea for the show came from a challenge made by Terry Montaldo, long-time member of the Feather Princesses. She created a quilt featuring the Hacienda Hotel, a historic landmark near her home in New Port Richey.

“They are currently redoing it as a boutique hotel,” Montaldo said. “I’m quite anxious to see it done. It’s been a dream of people that live here.”

More than 150 members from around Tampa Bay belong to Feather Princesses. A general meeting takes place on the second Wednesday of each month at the Carrollwood Cultural Center. About a dozen smaller groups meet at various times and locations such as the Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Carrollwood, Salvation Army in New Port Richey, and quilting shops in Dade City, Lutz and Land O’ Lakes.

Rodriquez joined about four years ago.

Betty Jo Weber of Land O' Lakes makes her way down the Jimmie B. Keel Regional Library hallway, where art quilts are on display. In the foreground, Sandi Snow's art quilt depicts a memory of the Hotel Floridan.

She grew up sewing clothes. “I just always loved to sew,” she said. “I even do it on vacation. This is the only group that does strictly appliques. It’s very unique.”

The guild began with a conversation between two friends, Dorothy Johnson and Laura Brooker.

“Before we knew, we were starting a guild,” said Johnson, who is the current president.“It just happened.”

In August, the Feather Princesses will celebrate their 10th anniversary.

“It’s very hot right now,” said Johnson of appliques and art quilts. “Unlike patchwork, with appliques it allows more creative expression. You’re not limited to specific shapes.”

Members work for months on some of their creations. It took a year to pull together the current library exhibit.

With so much time spent together, education and fellowship are a huge part of the appeal, Johnson said.

“We just love getting together and being with one another,” she said.

Some quilters have nearly 50 years of experience.

“Others are just learning to thread a needle,” Johnson said. “But everyone is willing to share. We’re just a fun group of ladies who like to get together and make beautiful appliques.”

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Land o Lakes/Lutz Home for Sale

COURTESY OF KETH LUKE

Gulfside honors veterans on Armed Forces Day Gulfside Hospice & Pasco Palliative Care hosted a community veterans pinning ceremony on May 16 in honor of Armed Forces Day, as part of the We Honor Veterans program.

Twenty-one veterans were given a certificate of recognition and were pinned with an American flag pin as a thank you for their service. From left, Army veteran Robert Wimer Sr., Gufside’s director of volunteer services Kelly Milner and Navy veteran Walter Mallett.

Land O’ Lakes/Lutz - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair.

That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn

prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-244-0174 and enter 1003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn't cost you the sale of your home.

Stephanie Metzger, owner of Steph’s Barber-Shop, and her staff of master barbers invite you to experience the look and feel of the neighborhood barbershop. It wasn’t too long ago when barbershops in small towns all across America were the hub of the community.

They were places where friends and neighbors came together, news was shared and people came to know one another as part of a community. These places still exist, though it can be hard to notice them when you’re driving by at 50 miles per hour, and your mind is buzzing with the day’s activities.

Steph’s Barber-Shop is an oasis of oldtime peace and calm, tucked away in the Turtle Lakes Plaza on State Road 54 in Lutz, just north of 54 U-Store. Here you can take a few minutes to relax and actually enjoy a conversation with Steph, her barbers and your fellow patrons.

The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed.

It’s a place where fathers and sons can sit side by side as equals. Ladies are welcome, too. Two female barbers, Stephanie and Bev, and two male barbers, Si and Tom, take all the time needed to provide you with a perfect haircut.

It’s truly a family practice with an oldfashioned look and feel. “We have a passion for the old-fashioned art of barbering,” says Steph. “That’s how I keep my clients. Once we get you in here, we keep you. People start out as clients, become our friends and, soon enough, we’re all one big happy family.”

“Our barbers are masters having over 30 years of experience providing gentlemen’s cuts, kids’ cuts and cuts for women,

WILDLIFE, from page 1A acres are part of the proposed wildlife corridor that county officials say would eventually need more than 7,000 acres to complete.

The corridors in central Pasco would link current and proposed development projects at Starkey Ranch, Crossbar, Connerton and Cypress Creek.

About $36 million from the Penny for Pasco revenues were targeted for land purchases with about $17 million invested to date. Another $46 million from the same source has been approved, and the ELAMP program extended for 10 years.

Much of the needed land easements for the corridors pass through private land.

Most of the people at the May 28 meeting were landowners with concerns about property rights.

Land use attorney David Smolker had a generally favorable opinion of the proposed ordinance. But he also was critical of some provisions dealing with how landowners would be compensated for land acquired by the county.

“Remedies available to property owners are not workable or are really a burden,” he said. “Compensation needs to be streamlined.”

The landowner and the county would each provide a property appraisal and reach agreement on a price through negotiation, said Rebecca Stonefield, a county planner.

The ordinance allows appeals before the Development Review Committee and finally before the commission.

Smolker and others expressed concerns about the length of time the process would take. They also wanted to know if property owners would get land returned to them if a proposed development didn’t happen.

Pasco landowner George Southworth said local governments aren’t being honest when such ordinances are adopted. The end result, he said, is that private landowners lose land without fair compensation.

“Let’s just say we’re going to jump in and take this property,” he said.

Southworth described himself as an “agricultural” man with an interest in conservation. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department named Southworth a 2012 Landowner of the Year for a grazing plan adopted on his JY Ranch. The awards are given in recognition of wildlife management and habitat improvements on private land.

The initiative to create the wildlife corridors – also known as critical linkages – emerged from a lawsuit filed in the late 1990s as a challenge to the county’s land use plan and specifically objecting to the then-proposed development of the Oakstead subdivision, off State Road 54.

A settlement cleared the way for Oakstead’s development but required the county to adopt conservation measures, such as the wildlife corridors. The appointment of a task force that in turn led to ELAMP also was part of the settlement.

According to county officials, residents are on record in support of the kind of conservation measures addressed in the ordinance.

In 2012, about 72 percent of Pasco’s voters approved a second round of Penny for Pasco with money for ELAMP. And in 2014 about 76 percent of Pasco voters approved a water and conservation amendment to fund the state’s land acquisition fund.

“So, I think there is a mandate,” said Jennifer Seney, the county’s recycling coordinator.

DODGING, from page 1A

GRATITUDE, from page 1A supplied a nice, safe car for me,” said Gavros, who recently reluctantly returned the vehicle to the dealership.

“I had a couple of hotels that gave me a few nights’ lodging,” she added.

But the financial support she’d been hoping to attract failed to materialize.

That didn’t dissuade Gavros.

She began her journey with a stop in Dade City, then headed east and north. She visited 42 cities, including stops in Washington D.C., Oklahoma City and even Ferguson, Missouri.

She visited famous memorials, as well as police and fire stations in lesser-known places.

She doled out words of appreciation and mementoes of gratitude wherever she went.

Sometimes, a local police station would make a big deal of her visit, she said.

Other encounters were smaller and more personal.

She handed out 40 plaques, including one to a patrol officer sitting in his cruiser and another to a highway patrol officer standing on the side of a road.

Gavros received badges and commemorative coins from first responders, documenting her many stops.

The effort was more physically demanding than she had expected.

She had to rise by 5 a.m., each day, to stick to her itinerary.

“I wasn’t out on a vacation. I was on a mission,” the Dade City woman said.

Besides being exhausted at times, she got lonely, too.

Those spells happened mostly during long treks between cities.

“There were some days when I was really down. You’re wondering: ‘Does it matter?’ ” Gavros said.

But then, she had experiences that erased any doubts.

One of those moments came at a veterans’ home.

As she was handing out gratitude cards, she said to a veteran: “I have a little thank you for you, but I didn’t want to buy a stamp.

“The guy said,‘That’s OK.” “And I said, ‘So, instead, I got in my car and I drove 2,700 miles.

“The guy looked at me. It just took a minute to gel, and he said, ‘Really?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’

“It was like slow motion. The smile came, and he said, ‘Well, isn’t that something.’ ” Then she told the vet: “This thank you isn’t just from me. It’s from millions of Americans. I’m the emissary. I’m the one who gets the honor of coming here and bringing the message.”

Many of the first responders Pat Gavros visited gave her badges and commemorative coins, to let her know they appreciated her actions.

Another time, she encountered a group of uniformed soldiers on a metro train in Washington D.C. She wasn’t sure what kind of reception she would get, but she approached one and said: “Sir, today I’m going to make your day.”

Then, she handed him a card, with a heart stuck inside.

She told him: “I’m on a 5,000-mile gratitude journey, I just want to tell you thank you.”

Then, she gave out cards and hearts to the other soldiers.

“This one guy said to me, ‘Thank you for doing that.’

“I got off the train and I just wanted to go, ‘Yes!’ “It was such a high. It was like, ‘Wow, this is what I came for.’ ” During her trip, she also encountered an element of danger.

Torrential rainfall near Saint Louis forced her to change her itinerary, and the threat of tornados caused her to cut her trip short.

Gavros understands some people may wonder what would compel her to make her Gratitude Journey.

“I believe in the power of one. Every single person has the God-given gift to make a difference. I am a perfect example of that. I have no money, no resources, and yet I am able to do what I do.”

She believes it is her duty to do what she can.

“What is your obligation? What is it that you want to do that makes America better?

“Our country is in perilous times. We are in such a state of apathy. It’s unbelievable how narcissistic and self-absorbed we are.

“Whatever your gift is — it doesn’t matter what your gift is — do something.”

Team Tampa will compete in California

By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

The Team Tampa U12 travel ball softball team has been around for less than a year.

And, while they’re still getting used to playing together as a team in Florida, they’re now planning to compete on a national stage in California.

They are heading to Sacramento at the end of July to compete in the Amateur Softball Association’s national championship tournament for that age group.

The Rebels qualified by winning a tournament over Memorial Day weekend. Only a handful of Florida teams will punch their ticket to Sacramento at the end of July, and around a dozen local players will now take the trip of a lifetime.

Coach Autum Hernandez is impressed with both reaching the national tournament and how quickly the team reached it.

“It’s definitely a huge accomplishment, because it takes teams sometimes two or three years to gel together,” Hernandez said.

Hernandez knows about building team chemistry. She’s been the softball coach at Freedom High School for seven years, and has been a softball coach for 12 years. The challenge in travel ball, according to Hernandez, is that players might move or switch teams from year to year, making it harder to build a consistent identity or benefit from the experience of working together. But Team Tampa didn’t need much time to find a winning rhythm. While some members played together with other teams such as the Lutz Lightning, many didn’t know each other when they formed last September.

The coach, who came on board a couple months later, saw a group of girls with intangibles that made them special.

“The girls work really hard. It’s a good group of young kids who want to learn,” she said. “And they never quit, and that’s one thing that you can’t coach.”

So Hernandez focused on the things she could coach, which is showing players how to use their talent and tenacity to maximize their effectiveness as a team. Good hitters don’t always have to hit home runs, and strong fundamentals and good defense can

Lilly Kiester and her fellow Team Tampa softball players are headed to Sacramento next month for a national softball tournament after winning a qualifier over Memorial Day weekend.

While Hernandez is quick to spot a mistake and explain how to fix it, Kiester said, she’s also the first one to cheer and offer praise when players get things right.

up before they get on a plane this summer.

For instance, she’d like the Rebels to start the games a little hotter, and take less time to get a feel for the opposing pitcher.

There are also two positions that need to be on the same page at all times.

“I’m a former catcher,” Hernandez explained. “I want my pitcher and catcher communication to be a little bit better.

That’s really important.”

If they can sharpen their communication skills and stay focused, the coach thinks the trip will be more than a sightseeing adventure. Team Tampa has a chance to do well at the national level, and is bringing the confidence to make that a reality.

Kiester agrees.

“I think if our confidence is high and we keep fighting and have a good attitude, we’ll go far,” she said.

Team Tampa is still in the process of funding the trip, which will cost thousands in travel expenses alone.

The team has set up a GoFundMe page, a crowd-sourcing Internet opportunity where people can make donations to causes in various dollar amounts. For more information and to donate, visit GoFundMe.com/ug28qc.

Passed away May 23, 2015.

He was born in Giles County, Tenn. on December 15, 1942 . He moved to Florida in 1958, settling in Sarasota & marrying Betty McCluskey. He had six daughters, & leaves behind a sister & a niece. Roy was a great storyteller, and enjoyed sharing Florida history with anyone that would listen. Roy recuperated after his open-heart surgery two years ago at the home of his daughter, Delinda, and her husband, Al. They are especially grateful for that precious time, which will forever be a sweet memory for them.

Roy was 72 at the time of his passing.
