No one hurt in Saddlebrook fire

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Quick actions by a student at Saddlebrook Preparatory School averted the potential loss of life, in the early morning hours of June 9.

About 2:30 a.m., the student smelled smoked and went searching for the source.

When he saw smoke, “he pulled the alarm. He started knocking on doors. His roommates went and knocked on doors. He called security, and security came down and they knocked on doors,” said Pat Ciaccio, general manager of Saddlebrook Resort Tampa, at 5700 Saddlebrook Way in Wesley Chapel.

The resort has been home to an international school for aspiring professional tennis players and golfers since 1993. Ninety-six students, from 26 countries, attend the school, including 54 who board at the resort. While the school is for students from

grade three through 12, it only boards eighth- through 12th-graders.

There were 28 students and two adults in the boys’ dormitory which caught fire, and everyone got out of the building without injury, Ciaccio said.

“We were able to get all of the students out actually, before there were flames.There was just smoke at the time,” Ciaccio said.

“From that point on, it turned into a three-alarm,” Ciaccio said.

Pasco County Fire Rescue Training Chief Shawn Whited said when the fire department crews arrived, “they had heavy fire through the roof of the building.

“As we were getting there, we realized there was a lot of fire there, so we called for a second- and third-alarm to help fight the fire,”Whited added.“The building was heavily damaged.The roof was burned off.”

Land O’ Lakes native screening TV pilot

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Ryan Paul James’ first brush with fame came at the age of 6, when his name was listed in The Laker/Lutz News.

“I was playing Little League there, with the Red Sox. All of the players were mentioned there in an article,” said James, a former Land O’ Lakes resident, now an actor and writer who lives in Los Angeles.

Since moving to L.A., he’s performed in two dozen plays, has written 10 plays and is now shopping a pilot for a television show he’s written called “The Comeback Kids.”

The show is about a pair of actors who were famous as children and are attempting a comeback, decades later.

While no one has picked up the television show yet, it has been screened at film

festivals in such places as Los Angeles, Honolulu, Miami, Switzerland,Australia and London.

It also has picked up a number of awards.

It’s a project James has been working on for five years. He’s written eight episodes of the show and has casted most of them, with different stars who would be making appearances as themselves, or performing a role in the sitcom.

The TV pilot most recently screened on June 10 at The Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

James said his desire to act began when he was a young boy, when his dad was a wildlife officer and the family lived on the grounds of Pine View Middle School in Land See PILOT, page 11A

Some days don’t go exactly as planned.

Just ask Danielle Bunin.

The Land O’ Lakes’ resident was in line on April 30 waiting for the procession to start for her commencement ceremony at Saint Leo University.

While waiting, Bunin —six months pregnant at the time — stepped away from the crowd to get some fresh air. She passed out, fell down and landed on her stomach.

After an ambulance ride and four hours in an emergency room, Bunin heard the good news that her baby would be fine. But, she had missed a graduation that meant so much to her and her family.

She had expected to receive her second degree from the university that day — a master’s in business administration in human resource management.

“She was really looking forward to making that walk,” said her husband, Bradley Bunin. “She was so upset that she didn’t make it.”

It turns out that the staff at Saint Leo wanted to make things right.

On June 6, Bunin received her degree at a commencement ceremony held just for her at Saint Leo’s main campus, off State Road 52 in St. Leo. She received her degree from William

Family members looked on, with pride.

Bradley Bunin’s brother, Matthew Bunin, flew in from Las Vegas to attend the ceremony.

“It’s inspiring to see what she has accomplished,” her brother-in-law said.

Danielle Bunin and Lennox stood in caps and gowns outside the president’s office, framed under an archway.

After receiving her degree, Bunin responded with gratitude.

“Thank you.Thank you.Thank you. It’s incredible that you were able to make this happen,” she said.

Lennox said personally bestowing the degree to her meant something special.

Maria said the cause of the fire has not been found, and the fire marshal has begun an investigation.

In addition to suffering the loss of his home, Jeff DeRolf is currently undergoing chemotherapy at Moffitt Cancer Center for Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Maria said her father’s cancer was first diagnosed in 2008, and occurred again just six months ago.

The family gathered the day after the fire to bury Peanut — the little dog that saved them all — in their backyard, next to Duke, a German Shepard they had before Peanut.

“When the firefighters retrieved Peanut’s body, her body was not burned, and we know she died of smoke inhalation,” said Maria.“We were thankful for that.”

Resetting U.S.-Russia relations, one hug at a time

By Tom Jackson

tjackson@lakerlutznews.com

A

long, long time ago, in a country far, far away, a new president’s secretary of state presented her Russian counterpart with what clever minds at Foggy Bottom must have imagined was simple genius: a “reset” button, symbolizing the Obama administration’s desire for a fresh start between our nations.

We’ve seen how that worked out.

Anyone seeking an enduring USA-Russia reset needs to program his GPS for a lowslung block house off 20 Mile Level Road in Land O’ Lakes. There, amid the managed chaos and loving clutter of a makeshift family, is the nerve center of a genuine international coming-together.

Four boys from St. Petersburg, Russia, have spent their coming-of-age school years here under the guidance of transplanted Hoosier Eric Wilson.And, they enjoyed valueadded assistance from the village network that is nearby Academy at the Lakes, the lads’ welcoming school.

The quartet — Gleb Barkovskiy, Maxim and Tioma Stepanets and Daniil Shcherbinin — has shrunk, through graduation, to a duo of Tioma and Daniil. By late August, the household will shrink again to Wilson and Tioma, plus languid Sam, the rescue coonhound mix. By then, Daniil, 18, will have been dispatched to Springfield, Ohio, and Wittenberg University.

How are the other alumni doing?

Barkovskiy, the son of a former Soviet nuclear submarine captain and a rising senior at Bucknell, is interning at Goldman Sachs. Max

Daniil Shcherbinin with his mom, Katarina Ilina, at an airport.

Daniil Shcherbinin and Sam, a rescue coonhound mix, in the woods near their Land O’ Lakes house.

Stepanets is a rising sophomore at Alma College in Michigan, where he’s a member of the football team and majoring in business.

As for Shcherbinin (“Sher-ben-in,” but for simplicity’s sake, hereafter Daniil), he anticipates a summer of unofficial occupations.

Here on a restrictive student visa, this perfect prospect for stocking the top shelves at Publix — he’s 6 feet 5 — ruefully concedes he can’t collect “a regular paycheck,” but he needs to save for college expenses.

So he’ll mow lawns, paint houses, help out with the household’s pooch-sitting operation, “move really heavy furniture” and do whatever other honest odd jobs come his way. After all, if he’d wanted to be idle and tempted into troublemaking, he could have stayed in Russia.

That depressing prospect is the future Katerina Ilina, a real estate agent in a perpetually tough market, was hoping her only

child could avoid when she presented him nearly 10 years ago for evaluation by an associate of the Renaissance Project.

The plan was to identify promising St. Petersburg boys and invite them to attend a posh private school in Boca Raton, where they would be groomed to become citizen ambassadors for America back home.

Alas, the original plan soon collapsed. By then, however, Wilson wasn’t just on board, he’d become a passionate believer and the boys’ best advocate. Long story short, he found a like-minded administrator at Academy at the Lakes, and through a combination of scholarships, fundraising schemes, donations, a generous landlord, philanthropic medical professionals and stretching Wilson’s teacher’s paycheck, they’ve made it work.

(Read more about their efforts here: http://renproject.org.)

It hasn’t hurt that each of the Russians has been an exemplary student and — as much as any teenager is capable — a model citizen. Daniil captained the football and basketball teams, served as student body vice president and played Mr. Darling in the school’s springtime production of “Peter Pan” — notably, without attempting a British accent.

The amateur thespian explains:“When I try to do an English accent, my Russian really comes out.” (Not that he hasn’t waxed the

Volga boatman when it might charm an American girl, or get him out of a tight spot with a teacher, he concedes.)

Otherwise, looking for highlights in an eventful senior year, two stand out: First, the March afternoon he learned he’d been accepted, with generous underwriting, at Wittenberg. Second, the recent two weeks he spent here, with his mom, during Katarina’s first visit to America.

What did she learn? Americans are uncommonly welcoming to newcomers.

“Everyone is so friendly,” she says.“Everyone wants to hug.” Maybe, she says, it’s the residue from Stalin, an era of suspicion, but Russians are rarely so open to strangers.

Experiencing it for herself, Katarina came to appreciate how this kid from a factory district —where V.I. Lenin once lectured on communism — had become upbeat and open-hearted, phonetically, “dobriy” in Russian. What a contrast to his somber, pessimistic peers back home.

Here she saw real evidence of that elusive reset. And, for those back home who fret their countryman has gone native, not to worry.When he’s not fetching and lifting this summer, Daniil will be immersed in Russian literature, Mikhail Bulgakov’s fantasy parable, “The Master and Margarita.”

“I am proud to be Russian,” he says flatly.

“I never want to lose that.” Neither does anyone else in the Renaissance Project.They like him just the way he’s turned out.

And, so this happened. On the day of the open house on 20 Mile Level Road, when teachers and friends came to celebrate Daniil’s graduation, they brought presents for him, and for Katarina.

Gifts for the graduate Katarina understood. But for her? Why? “We brought you gifts,” explained one of the moms, her eyes shining, “because you shared your gift — your only son — with us.”

They hugged and wept happy tears.

Because that’s what moms, wherever they’re from, do.

It’s from such embraces, real, lasting resets emerge.

What’s Cookin’

Sizzling summertime calls for cool treats Ice Box Pops Special to The Laker/Lutz News

By Betsy Crisp

June is national dairy month, so what better time to enjoy some nice frozen treats?

Of course, the scorching heat provides another good reason for cooling down.

When choosing your treats, this list containing information about calories, sugars and fat in various frozen treats may help you make a healthier choice.

• Gelato: This treat, which contains milk, sugar and egg yolk has 157 calories, 24 grams of carbohydrates, 22 grams of sugar and 6 grams of fat for each scoop (half-cup) • Frozen yogurt: This treat, which contains yogurt and sugar, has 107 calories (or 70, for plain, nonfat yogurt), 19.5 grams of carbohydrates, 19 grams of sugar and 1.5 grams of fat for each scoop (half-cup). (Note: Watch out for added calories from toppings).

• Ice Cream: This treat, which contains milk, cream, sugar and egg yolk, has 137 calories (only 100, if halffat), 16 grams of carbohydrates, 14 grams of sugar and 7 grams of fat for each scoop (half-cup).

• Sherbet: This treat, which contains fruit juice, milk/cream, egg white/gelatin, has 107 calories, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 18 grams of sugar and 1 gram of fat for each scoop (half-cup).This treat is similar to a sorbet but contains milk/cream.

• Sorbet: This treat, which contains fruit juices, syrup and water, has 92 calories, 23 grams of carbohydrates, 17 grams of sugar and no fat. It has no dairy or calcium.

Of course, this chart provides only a guide, as calories, sugar, fat and carbohydrates can vary from brand to brand.

New dietary guidelines suggest that women should not consume more than six teaspoons of sugar each day and men should not consume

• SMOOTHIE ON A STICK: Ingredients: yogurt and fresh fruit 1 cup low-fat/fat-free vanilla yogurt and 1 cup fresh, mashed strawberries. Blend ingredients until smooth. Mix together. Fill 5-ounce paper cups and add handle (popsicle stick or plastic spoon). Freeze until firm (about five hours).

Makes six servings.

• FRUIT-JUICE POPS: Ingredients: Juice and fresh fruit Take two 11-ounce cans of mandarin orange sections in juice or light syrup, drained. Add one-half cup orange juice. Mix together.

Spoon into 5-ounce paper cups and add handle (popsicle stick or plastic spoon). Freeze until firm (about five hours). Makes six servings.

For a variation, create a fruit-juice pop by layering 1 ½ cups of cubed and pureed cantaloupe combined with 1 tablespoon of orange juice and adding a second layer of 1 ½ cups of honeydew melon cubed and pureed with 1 tablespoon of lime juice, slightly sweetened to taste. Pour into 5-ounce paper cups and add a handle (a popsicle stick or a plastic spoon). Freeze until firm (approximately five hours). Makes six servings.

• PUDDING POPS: Ingredients: Instant pudding and milk Prepare one 3.9-ounce package of instant vanilla pudding and one 3.9-ounce package of instant chocolate pudding, according to package directions. First layer in chocolate pudding, then layer in the vanilla pudding.

If you’re looking for something fun to do with your children this summer, try making these frozen “Ice Box Pops,” by using molds or 5-ounce paper cups with popsicle sticks or plastic spoons for a handle.

Woman’s club hosts ‘sleepover’

Members of the GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club staged a murder mystery theater production of a ‘Sinister Sleepover.’ The ‘whodunit’ robbery and murder mystery was ultimately solved by members of the audience, many of whom complemented the sleepover theme by wearing pajamas, robes, slippers and even holding teddy bears. The proceeds of the dinner theater fundraiser will help fund donations to the many local community organizations the club supports each year.

At 70 degrees on a sunny day, a car can reach 100 degrees within 15 minutes. Body temperatures for children and dogs rise three to five times faster than an adult’s, and brain damage can occur in a matter of minutes.

Reduce the risk through A.C.T.: • AVOID heatstroke-related injury and death by never leaving your child alone in the car, not even for a minute. Be sure to keep your car locked when you are not in it, so kids don’t climb in on their own.

41,000 LBS. Lost In 10 Years!

In the 10 years that Gerri Willet and her family have owned MediWeightloss in Lutz, they have assisted several thousand patients lose approximately 41,000 pounds.

“It is very rewarding knowing we’ve helped so many people become healthier,” said Gerri.

“Although everyone wants to lose weight to look better, we believe the most important aspects are improving our patients’ health and adding years to their life.”

This month, Gerri and her staff of health care professionals are celebrating the clinic’s 10th anniversary, including an open house hosted by the Wesley Chapel and Central Pasco chambers of commerce.

“In addition to celebrating with the business community, we are inviting the public to stop by and tour our facility,” said Gerri. “We genuinely want people to see our clean, comfortable offices, meet our staff and learn about a weight loss program that really works.”

Visitors don’t need to worry about being pressured.

“We know people are most successful at losing weight when they decide it’s time to take action,” said Gerri. “We just want to educate folks, so when they are ready to lose weight, they know we’re in their neighborhood.”

Medi-Weightloss is located on S.R. 54 at Oak Grove Boulevard, just east of the Ferman Auto dealership. It has been at this location for all 10 years because it is convenient to people living in Lutz, Land O’

Lakes and Wesley Chapel.

“Our location may be the same, but not our program,” said Gerri. “In the past 10 years, there have been many, many positive changes and additions because of all the research our company conducts,” said Gerri.

These include: • Pharmaceutical-grade supplements • Informative tip sheets and easy-to-use food calendar • Full-time nutritionist • Low-calorie, healthy recipes • High-quality, prepacked foods, including nutrition bars, shakes, soups, meal replacements and sugar-free candies • Interactive website with a patient portal • Inexpensive exercise equipment that’s easy to use at home and work The one constant at MediWeightloss is its physician-supervised program. Because weight loss impacts every aspect on a person’s body, Medi-Weightloss has always employed physicians to work with patients.

“We have a medical doctor on site most days, and patients can consult with a doctor anytime they want,” said Gerri. “This is what truly sets us apart from other weight loss clinics.”

A typical patient at MediWeightloss loses 35 pounds, Gerri said. “And, because your lifespan increases by one-and-a-half years for every 10 pounds you lose, most of our patients will live an additional five years!”

Famous Tate aiming for fall opening

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

A new Famous Tate could be open as soon as fall.

Site preparation for the 13,700-square-foot appliance store is underway off U.S. 41 in Lutz. The store will sit on an outparcel in front of the Walmart Supercenter, and will be Pasco County’s third Famous Tate.

Famous Tate of New Tampa Inc., purchased the 1.5-acre vacant lot in March 2015.

Owner John Horst said at the time that he wanted his company to be “a player” in the growth coming to the area.

“We have a lot of customer base,” said Claude Ward, the company’s general manager.

But, growth in the area also will bring more traffic, he said.

“As traffic becomes a hardship, people only drive so far, so we have to be more centrally located for our customers.”

Bulldozers recently cleared the land.The next step will be building permits to begin the store’s construction.

It tentatively is set for a fall opening, said Ward.

Famous Tate was founded in 1954. Its Pasco locations are 5419 Village Market in Wesley Chapel, and 8010 Grand Blvd., in Port Richey.

The store will have company, as developers are starting to buy more of the outparcels

PILOT, from page 1A O’ Lakes.

“Living in the middle of nowhere and playing there on the campus of Pine View, I would let my imagination go.

“I remember, that, like for a year, they were building their (Pine View Middle) gym.

I don’t think I can get in trouble for this anymore — but I would go in there and play Indiana Jones,” James said.

“I would watch probably too much television,” he added.

His acting debut came in 1994 when he played the role of a Mousekateer on the Mickey Mouse Club, filmed in Orlando. His acting teacher, who was the show’s casting director, got him the gig, he said.

He knew from the beginning the role would be a short run.

“When I was brought on, they’d already announced that the show was cancelled,” James said.

He replaced a cast member who wanted to go to Los Angeles to pursue a music career.

James moved to Los Angeles in 1995 to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

But, that didn’t last long, either.

“I was so homesick, and I hated L.A. — could not stand it,” he said.

So, he returned to the Tampa Bay area, where he became a disc jockey on 100.7 Kiss FM. “I wasn’t really looking to get into radio, but it just happened for me. I bounced around to a couple of other radio stations.A radio station out here in Los Angeles heard one of my air checks, and they called me up and wanted to see if I would be interested in coming out here,” he said.

SADDLEBROOK, from page 1A hours to put out the fire, and fire department investigators were still on the scene hours later, trying to determine the cause for the blaze,Whited said.

It turns out that the fire was started by a faulty bathroom exhaust fan/ bathroom heater mounted in the ceiling,Whited said.

No estimates were available on the extent of the loss, but Whited described the damage as extensive.“They’re going to have to gut the entire building,” he said.

On the afternoon after the fire, Ciaccio said,“Really, the extent of the damage — it’s too early — the adjusters aren’t even at the property yet.”

In the short term, the boarders from the boys’ dorm were relocated to the next courtyard.

“They’ll remain in there, those that stay for summer school, and then next school year, we’ll go back into there until Courtyard 11 is rebuilt,” Ciaccio said.

The general manager praised the students, resort staff and emergency rescue workers for their response.

GRADUATION, from page 1A this. It’s important to do this,” he said.

Saint Leo has nearly 16,000 undergraduates and graduates who enroll in course work at more than 40 locations in seven states, and online from anywhere.

Lennox said the university reaches out in particular to students who are in mid-career seeking to expand their possibilities.

“That takes an awful lot of work from the family,” he said.

A new Famous Tate off U.S. 41, in front of Walmart Supercenter, is expected to open by fall. It will be Pasco County’s third Famous Tate appliance store.

surrounding the Walmart location.

The discount store and the County Line shopping plaza are located in a pie-shaped swath of land between U.S. 41 and North Dale Mabry Highway, with entrances off both roadways.

New Port Richey Hospital Inc., a subsidiary of HCA Holdings Inc., recently bought a 1.6-acre vacant lot, across from Famous Tate. Plans are to build a health care facility, according to a press release from The Land Sharks LLC, which brokered the sale.

Another outparcel is slated for a StorKwik Self Storage.

Mark Cooney of The Land Sharks also anticipates a restaurant and automobile store are potential new tenants on other outparcels.

He wasn’t sure what he wanted to do.

So, he prayed about it.

“I was like,‘God, you’ve got to give me a sign here’,” James said.

He knew he couldn’t afford to move to L.A., but within a month of his prayer, he had booked two national commercials and had received the offer from the radio station.

“And, so I thought,‘I’ll give L.A. one more shot.’

“Here I am, 12 years later, married, with a kid,” James said.

His wife, Melissa Disney — a cousin of Walt Disney — is a voiceover artist.

Though not a household name like her cousin, she has attracted her own share of fame.

She narrated the trailer for the action movie,“Gone in 60 Seconds,” — widely credited as one of the first major movie trailers to employ a female voice, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She also has voiced The Academy Awards, The Emmy’s and the Billboard Music Awards.

While James and his wife work in the industry, their 4-year-old son, Ryder, gets a chance to dip into the lifestyle, too. He already has met such international stars as Madonna, Harrison Ford and James Earl Jones.

Although the Land O’ Lakes native has lived in L.A., for a dozen years, he still gets homesick and travels back to the area to visit family a couple of times a year.

Every time he comes home, he must make one stop before returning to L.A. He drops by Larry’s Deli, on Land O’ Lakes Boulevard, where he loads up on Cuban sandwiches to take back to California.

The mere mention of them, James said during a recent telephone interview, makes his mouth water.

The student who smelled the smoke “went into fire-drill mode,” Ciaccio said, explaining that the school and dormitories have monthly fire drills to know how to handle such emergencies.

“When your chief of security is calling you at 3 a.m., it’s not a good phone call.To arrive on property shortly after that and to have everything as buttoned down — you don’t ever want the tragedy to happen, but you feel good about the preparation,” he said.

“In an hour’s time, we had them (students) relocated to another courtyard, and they were in rooms, laying down,” he said.

He was particularly impressed by the way the students conducted themselves.

“They are in pressure situations all of the time on the tennis court, on the golf course.

And, obviously that just extended into their personal lives, because they handled this situation so effortlessly.

“We were business as usual today. The kids were in class, taking exams,” Ciaccio said.

That is, except for the 28 who were in the dorm on the night of the fire.They were excused from exams.

and taking tests that had to be finished within specific deadlines.

Her husband would free up her time and watch after the couple’s 2-year-old son, Ashton.

“It was a team effort,” she said.

Danielle Bunin and her family might also qualify as “Team Saint Leo.” Bradley Bunin is a Saint Leo graduate.

His wife received her bachelor of arts degree two years ago when she was then pregnant with Ashton. At that ceremony, Danielle Bunin’s mother, Lorene Mervis, also received her bachelor of arts degree in sociology.

The next order of business is awaiting the arrival of the newest Bunin – a second son.

The baby is due in August.

Auctioneer Marty Higgenbotham called a halt to the public auction of real estate at Eve’s Garden when it became clear the bids were too low.

But, Higgenbotham and owner Evie Lynn say they will keep working to sell the property for the best price they can get.

Community Sports Making 3s with ease Your Neighborhood Sports Source

By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

Justin Dargahi has a penchant for knocking down 3-point shots.

So much so that he holds the Guinness World Record for the most 3s made from NBA range (23 feet, 9 inches) in one minute.

Firing three after three inside the Land O’ Lakes High School gymnasium, Dargahi knocked down 26 treys in 60 seconds on Jan. 4, breaking the previous set mark of 25.

His feat became an official Guinness World Record in early May. “I’ve always been the best shooter on my team in school,” said Dargahi, the head JV (Junior Varsity) coach for the Land O’ Lakes girls basketball team and former basketball player at Cambridge Christian School.

“Shooting was always easy to me.”

The skill comes so easily for Dargahi that he claims he makes anywhere from 75 percent to 80 percent of 3-pointers he attempts when he’s “just shooting around for fun.”

He figures he can make about 95 percent of his free throw attempts, too.

“Anytime I was on a (school) team, I would always be the technical free-throw shooter,” said Dargahi, who began playing organized hoops at 11 years old.“I had a green light to shoot 3s most of the time. It was always like, ‘If we need a three, let’s get (Dargahi) the ball or set a screen for him.’

“In games, I would show off sometimes shooting 10 feet behind the (3-point) line,” he said.

Out of curiosity, the JV coach decided to look into some of the timed 3-point records a few years ago. When he saw some of the record totals, he realized he might have a decent chance at knocking down some of them.

Justin Dargahi broke the Guinness World Record for most 3-pointers made in one minute (26) on Jan. 4.

“When I saw that record of 25, I was like, ‘I could get that,’” Dargahi said, with an air of confidence in his voice.

On his first attempt at the record, he nailed 18 shots.

While impressive for most, Dargahi knew he could shoot at a much higher clip.

“I had a lot of bad luck; I had one of my friends helping me, and we weren’t clicking,” Dargahi said. “It just wasn’t scripted too well.”

To better organize a record-breaking strategy, Dargahi reckoned his best chance was to enlist the help of some of his JV roster at Land O’ Lakes.

About eight or nine of his players aided Dargahi by fetching loose balls and rapidly handing them to him at the top of the threepoint arc as he continually fired from deep range.

The strategy worked, as he eventually

knocked down 26 shots after a January JV practice.

“It was still kind of shocking when he got it,” sophomore Land O’ Lakes JV captain Claire Valeski said.

“We were all happy and all thought he would get it, but then again, it’s one of those things that’s like the luck of the draw,” she said.

Dargahi’s shooting philosophy was fixated on conserving energy.

“If I’m not on a great pace, I would stop.

If I only have five or six (made 3s) after 20 seconds, instead of consume all my energy, I would just stop,” he said.

He also uses his arms more than his legs.

Dargahi admits he wished he could’ve put the record out of reach — perhaps making 29 or 30 3-pointers — knowing full well he may have to attempt the endeavor all over again if someone surpasses his current mark of 26.

While a prolific shooter during his high school career at Cambridge Christian, Dargahi didn’t receive much interest from college coaches.

“It’s hard when you’re 6 feet to play bigtime college basketball, even if you are the best shooter,” said Dargahi, a 2007 graduate of the University of South Florida (USF). “I probably should’ve practiced on other stuff like dribbling and my defense.”

Instead, Dargahi settled for playing intramurals at USF, and occasionally entered shooting contests — which he typically won.

The love of the game and high-pressure competition led him into coaching, where he said he enjoys watching his players mature and develop their skills over the course of a season.

Despite his proclivity for making shots, Dargahi said he doesn’t particularly work with

his JV players on their shooting technique.

“It’s hard for me to see through their eyes, because to me, it’s so easy,” he said. “I can’t get along their thought process, so I’m probably not the best shooting teacher.”

But, that doesn’t stop him from giving his players a few tips along the way.

“I would tell people:‘Don’t worry about your form.’The best shooters — a lot of them have weird form,” Dargahi said, noting that former NBA great Reggie Miller would cross his arms during his 3-point attempts.“I think form is totally overrated; I think (setting your) feet is more important. Do whatever you’re comfortable with.”

Dargahi doesn’t plan to end his shooting record quest anytime soon. The Land O’ Lakes hoops coach also has his eyes set on breaking the record for most made free throws in one minute (52) and the most 3pointers made in two minutes (44).

year honors

Saint Leo University head men’s golf coach Chris Greenwood was named the 2016 Dave Williams Division II National Coach of the Year Award by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).

The third-year coach led the Lions to back-to-back NCAA National Championship appearances, but this season concluded with a title in hand. The No. 2 Lions defeated No. 1 Chico State 3-2 in the national finals on May 21 in Denver, Colorado, to culminate in the University’s first-ever team National Championship.

During the season, Greenwood guided Saint Leo to 11 top-five tournament finishes. Prior to working at Saint Leo, Greenwood served as the Director of Golf at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock for one year, and also spent seven seasons as the head men’s golf coach at Lynn University in Boca Raton. A former golf pro, Greenwood spent 12 years on the Canadian Golf Tour before becoming a college coach.

New rules for ‘live contact’

The Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) recently announced new football practice procedures that limit live contact.The procedures, which aim to improve player safety, take effect Aug. 1, the first practice day of the 2016 season.

During the regular season, live contact will be restricted to 30 minutes per day and 80 minutes total per week. Live contact — defined as drills with game-like conditions where players are taken to the ground— will not be allowed to occur on more than two consecutive days, and cannot exceed three practice days per week.

“Player safety has and will always be the number one goal of the FHSAA,” outgoing FHSAA Executive Director Dr. Roger Dearing said in a release.“Protecting our student-athletes is paramount in growing the game of football and this administrative procedure is a step in the right direction.”

From day six of preseason practice (Aug. 1) through the Monday of the first regular season game, live contact will be limited to 40 minutes each day, with no more than two straight days of live contact. During two-a-days, only one practice can include live contact and cannot surpass 40 minutes.

On that Monday, the regular-season guidelines come into effect for the remainder of the season.

$90,000 makeover gives pool a fresh look

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

S

wimmers were splashing around the pool at the Land O’ Lakes Recreation Complex, enjoying the facility which recently received a $90,000 makeover.

Some adult swimmers swam laps, while some kids received instruction from Coach Robin Hilgenberg.

A little while later, others joined in, taking a refreshing dip on a scorching hot day.

Normally, the pool is open in time for Memorial Day holiday, but this year it wasn’t, because of delays on the project to upgrade the pool.

Besides resurfacing the pool, and repainting the deck, the pool’s shower facilities were improved, too.

The last time the pool had been resurfaced was during the 1990s.

Jordan Wheeler, a head lifeguard at the pool, said the improvements are noticeable.

“If you go in there, it feels a lot better on your feet. There were some holes on the backside over there, that got completely mended,” he said.

It looks better, too, he said.

“The water, now, is a lot more blue,” said Wheeler, who is working at the pool for his third season.

The pool has a capacity for 150 guests, but typically doesn’t get that crowded, he said, noting the most he’s seen there at one time was about 120.

A number of summer camps visit the

Coach Robin Hilgenberg, with the Florida Elite Swim Team, teaches a group in her swim class the importance of being able to float on one’s back.

Lifeguard, Zachary Daniels, 19, of Hudson keeps a close eye on swimmers from his chair, high above the pool at the Land O’ Lakes Recreation Complex. Daniels recently joined the pool’s staff.

pool, and the kids seem to enjoy themselves.

“It gets rowdy, that’s for sure,” he said.

The pool’s upgrades were done primarily in the off-season, he said.

“We were only closed for about a week and a half in the time that we’d normally be open,”Wheeler said.“It was less than optimal that we didn’t get to open on Memorial Day. Usually, a lot of people want to come by. It’s practically the first day of summer. People want to go out and spend their day out at the pool.”

“We’re really excited to have this facility cleaned up a little bit, because last year it was kind of in sad shape,” said Kristany Fitzthum, supervisor at the site.

With the repair work completed, Fitzthum hopes people will take advantage of the pool.

“I don’t think many people know that we’re open. Our first day, we had four people here.Yesterday, we had 12 or 13,” she said.

To make matters worse, there was lightning on both afternoons, which meant they had to clear the pool.

When lightning is within a 10-mile radius of the pool, it is cleared for a half-hour before swimmers can return, Fitzthum said.

The price of admission is reasonable, Fitzthum noted.The daily charge for swimming is $4 for adults and $3 for children.

Passes also are available. A family of four, with two adults and two children, is $120; an adult pass is $80, and a child’s pass is $60.

“The New Port Richey Recreation Center, it’s $7 to get in and swim, per per-

son,” Fitzthum said.

Another advantage at the Land O’ Lakes complex is that there’s an adults’ only hour from 11 a.m. to noon, she said.

The pool temperature is kept at 80 degrees to 83 degrees.

“Most of the people who come here are really local. Most of our people who come are regulars. So, we can form really good relationships with them.We know all of them by name,” Fitzthum said.

Nancy and Bernie Guss, who live in Plantation Palms, are both retired from Pasco County Schools.

They began using the pool when it opened, and their now-grown daughter was a member of a swim team there.

“We can do our yard work in the morning, and then just come over here in the afternoon and relax,” Nancy Guss said.“I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of classes they offer. I hope they have a variety of classes,” she said.

Marie Berghoefer, who was doing laps, said she’s been swimming at the pool for 10 years. A lifelong swimmer, she said she enjoys coming to the pool and will be there as often as she can be this summer.

Carrie Kukuda, also of Land O’ Lakes, was swimming laps, too.

She said she appreciates the convenience of the pool, not only for herself but for members of the triathlon team from Get A Grip Total Fitness, where she is the owner, trainer and head coach.

As Coach Hilgenberg taught her class, some parents looked on.

Debbie Fisher has two kids — 13-yearold Tyler Esenberg and 11-year-old Kayla

Weekend hours: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Passes: Family, $120; adult, $80; child, $60

Esenberg — in the class, and Larisa Curbelo’s son, Nick, is taking it, too.

“This is their first day,” said Fisher, who lives in Lake Padgett.“They want to try out for high school swim. They want to be ready,” Fisher said.Tyler is going into eighth grade, and Kayla will be in seventh.

“They learned how to swim in Coach Robin’s backyard when they were young,” Fisher said, but they don’t swim competitively, and they want to learn the proper techniques.

She was glad they were there.

“They look happy,” Fisher said.

Curbelo, who lives in Wilderness Lake Preserve, said her 12-year-old son is “big into fitness now.”

She’s impressed by the pool at the Land O’ Lakes complex.

“It’s a beautiful pool,” she said.

“It’s great that they have somewhere to go,” Curbelo added.

The pool is open Tuesdays through Sunday. It opens at 11 a.m. on weekdays, and closes at 6 p.m. It opens at 11 a.m. on weekends, and closes at 7 p.m.
