Will election be ‘one for the ages?’

By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

When he looks ahead to the 2020 Presidential Election, Pasco County Supervisor of Elections Brian Corley predicts,“that’s going to be one for the ages.” For one thing, there are already attorneys being lined up in Florida, on both sides of the aisle, for next year, Corley said, during a

luncheon meeting last week of the North Tampa Bay Chamber of Commerce, at St. Joseph’s Hospital-North in Lutz. But, the elections supervisor added: “We’re used to the scrutiny. “Florida is always going to be in the perennial spotlight. It’s the largest battleground state in the country, and it’s always close. “Why is that? There’s a good sampling of

Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Voters tend to choose their own way,” Corley said. On top of that, “Florida is now the nation’s third largest state,” he said. The elections official also touched on the Mueller Report, officially known as the Report on the Investigation into Russian See ELECTION, page 11A

Dozens of children in kindergarten through fifth grade tested their knowledge and skills in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics recently at the Dr. Seuss Silly Science Party, hosted by the Zephyrhills Public Library, 5347 Eighth St. The summer reading program, presented by Seffner resident Tanci Mishler, featured several hands-on STEAM stations, with experiments primarily based on Dr. Seuss’s books. Participants tried their hand at balancing acts, center of gravity tests, counting, measuring weight, engineering and the arts. The free event was funded by the newly formed nonprofit group, Friends of the Zephyrhills Public Library. Above, a group of girls at the science station test their balancing skills, by stacking items, and getting them to hold for 5 seconds. The book, ‘The Cat in the Hat,’ influenced this gravity test. From left: 6-year-old Isabelle Jarboe, 6-year-old Samantha Stephens, 4-year-old Sydney Stephens, all of Wesley Chapel, and 6-yearold Elizabeth Ayres, of Dade City.

Pinecrest Academy Wesley Chapel is under construction in the Avalon Park West community, off State Road 54. Officials for Pinecrest and Avalon Park West invited the community to a groundbreaking ceremony, held mostly indoors at Trinity Church of Wesley Chapel, which is next door. The new charter school, expected to open in the fall of 2020, will eventually serve kindergarten through eighth grade, and possibly older students. The opening will coincide with the completion of the widening of State Road 54, which runs in front of the school. See CHARTER, page 11A

As Pasco County’s rapid growth continues, the county school district is constructing a middle school, expanding existing locations, planning future facilities and acquiring new sites. Earlier this month, the Pasco County School Board took initial steps to add a 10classroom addition at Bexley Elementary School, 4380 Ballantrae Blvd., which just opened in 2017 in a subdivision off State Road 54 in Land O’ Lakes. The board also took action to move ahead on a 20-classroom expansion at Sunlake High School, at 3023 Sunlake Blvd., another Land O’ Lakes school feeling the squeeze from area growth. The Bexley expansion will increase the school’s capacity by 200 students, bringing its total to 1,106; Sunlake’s capacity will increase by 400, bringing it to 2,041. Both wings should be open for the 2020-

21 school year. Not far away, the district is wrapping up a $29 million makeover at Land O’ Lakes High School, at 20325 Gator Lane, in Land O’ Lakes. The project is expected to boost capacity by 500 students. The district also plans to build a K-8 school in the Starkey Ranch development, off State Road 54, another Central Pasco school.That three-story school is expected to open in 2021. The middle school portion will have a capacity of 1,200, while the elementary school will house 800. Other projects are underway or in the plans in Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills and other parts of East Pasco County. Cypress Creek Middle School, on Overpass Road south of State Road 52, is under construction.The school is scheduled to open in the fall of 2020. The new school is being built on the See SCHOOL, page 11A

Summer kickoff party is a blast The Land O’ Lakes Branch Library, 2818 Collier Parkway, recently held its Summer Reading Club Blast Off party. The event featured dozens of attractions, such as water activities, Pasco County Utilities and Fire Rescue Touch-a-Truck, Pasco County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse, dance parties, face painting, crafts, a bounce house and a mobile science center. Branch manager Robert Speich described the annual kickoff party as a way of getting patrons excited about summer reading, as well as letting the community know about the many programs and activities the library will have available throughout the summer. Two friends, 6-year-old Iniya Singaravelan, left, and 5-year-old Haasini Pradip, both of Wesley Chapel, use an outdoor activity center, hosted by WaterVentures - Florida’s Learning Lab. The mobile science center’s public programs focus on conservation and the understanding of Florida’s ecosystems.

Nightly lane closures are now underway for a project aimed to improve traffic flow at the intersection of U.S. 41 and State Road 54, in Land O’ Lakes. The lane closures began on June 16 and will last until June 21.They are being done from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., to minimize disruption. Construction has been underway since April, to help ease congestion at an intersection used by about nearly 100,000 motorists daily. The improvement aims to improve flow for motorists who are heading east on State Road 54, but who are not able to turn right or left onto U.S. 41 because the turn lanes are blocked by through traffic. The development is extending the turning lane to enable them to accommodate more vehicles, thus reducing the wait times. The lengthening of the left-turn lane has already begun with the installation of a lime rock base. It will be followed by new drainage features and finally new asphalt.

Construction work occurs at night from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., to avoid interfering with peak traffic hours. However, some night lane closures, such as the current one, will be necessary at different times during the project. The project also will alter the median opening where State Road 54 intersects with Hunt Road. The modified median will have a separator in place, allowing eastbound traffic to turn left onto Hunt Road or make a U-turn. It will also grant motorists the option of turning left onto State Road 54 from Hunt Road. The separator will no longer permit westbound traffic on State Road 54 to make U-turns. The development is a part of Pasco County’s Long Range Transportation Plan, as well as the Vision 54/56 program – set to make long-term improvements along the corridor of State Road 54 and State Road 56. It is estimated at $1.1 million in costs and is expected to be completed by fall of this year. For further updates on closures, visit tinyurl.com/y2hvm7vr.

Pasco Sheriff’s Office gets forensics K-9 By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

The Pasco Sheriff’s Office has added another K-9 to its unit of about two dozen — but it’s not the traditional search and seizure police dog frequently utilized by law enforcement agencies. Instead, this dog, a 3-year-old yellow Labrador named Phi, is paired with a forensics investigator and trained to detect decomposing human remains. More commonly known as a human remains detection dog, K-9 Phi ignores live human scent and animal scent as to indicate odors on human remains, whether it be related to crime scenes, old missing persons cases, or natural or man-made disaster events. Phi is believed to be the only human remains detection/forensics K-9 employed by a law enforcement agency in the Tampa Bay area. He was purchased and trained through donations from service organization Phi Delta Kappa in Odessa. Pasco Sheriff Cpl. Jimmy Hall heads up the agency’s new forensic K-9 unit. The unit is modeled after the FBI’s dog scent program, and Hall said it takes the concept of cadaver dogs to a new level in identifying and solving crime scenes. That’s because Phi and similarly trained dogs don’t just search for bodies.They also identify the presence of trace amounts of human bones, bodily fluids and decomposing material — whether buried underground, underwater, smeared on a car or elsewhere. “We’re bringing these dogs to search these trace amounts, which is really the difference that’s not being done out there,” Hall said. Phi has received roughly 12 weeks of inhouse operational training. He also gets weekly maintenance training. In learning to train forensics dogs, Hall and sheriff’s office personnel visited the FBI’s training academy in Virginia. In essence, forensics dogs like Phi are trained like bomb or drug-sniffing dogs, where they’re rewarded for being able to identify a particular targeted odor, Hall said.

K-9 Officer Phi undergoes a regular training session with his handler. The K-9 is trained to detect human remains related to crime scenes, old missing persons cases, natural or manmade disasters and more.

Pasco Sheriff’s Office forensics investigator Heidi Sievers and K-9 partner Phi.

“We saw what they had and how they use the dogs, and got some great ideas from them,” Hall said. Hall noted during that trip, trained forensics dogs were able to indicate odor on a pre-Civil War gravesite. “I not necessarily would’ve believed that if I wasn’t there watching it myself,” Hall said. The greatest benefit of a forensics K-9, Hall said, is helping investigators to conduct more thorough evidence gathering outside the realm of a primary crime scene, or where the crime actually occurred. The law enforcement explained: “If we’ve got a crime scene at a house, we can deploy the dog starting a block out if we want to, and it’s possible to find evidence

for that crime…that we would’ve never come across. “If you’re going to put 15 to 20 detectives and forensic investigators out to comb an area, they’re limited by sight.We can put this dog down and the odor is going to be much more powerful, and we can cover a larger area with that.” Phi’s handler, forensics investigator Heidi Sievers, echoed that significance. “We have only the ability of our sight and also some other technological tools that we have,” said Sievers, who has been partnered with Phi since March.“This is just one more check and balance to make sure that we’re covering the entirety of the scene.” So far, Phi has been deployed about 20 times by the sheriff’s office and other agencies needing assistance. He’s done three deployments with Sievers. The dog has been the sheriff’s office for about a year. He previously worked in different capacities with other handlers.

Besides assisting the forensics unit, Phi has also become a welcome addition to the Sievers’ household. The forensics investigator had never owned a dog before, but Phi quickly developed a bond within her household. “I have a daughter so she loves him, so it’s been really nice,” Sievers said.“He’s easy, he’s great, low maintenance. He’s very friendly. He just lives to run and work.” Meanwhile, the sheriff’s office will soon add another human detection K-9 to its unit, for investigator Sue Miller. A third dog of its type is being utilized by an agency volunteer, as well. As well as assisting with crime solving, the agency believes the forensic K-9 unit will eventually help in another area. “This is something we know will also add to our recruitment,” Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco said.“The fact that people want this opportunity to say,‘Hey, I’m going to be able to have a canine,’ that is very unique.”

Extend Your A/C’s Life Special to The Laker / Lutz News

Your air conditioner is the most expensive appliance in your house, and when it breaks, you want to call a company that will do everything possible to prolong its life. Bay Harbor Services is that kind of company. Bay Harbor has recently expanded into residential services, after many successful years in commercial air conditioning sales and service. “On the commercial side, the goal is to keep a company’s equipment going as long as possible,” said Jay Civitillo, management consultant with Bay Harbor Services. “If you’re a big-box retailer, you don’t want your A/C switched out every few years, because that’s really expensive.” Bay Harbor has taken that same philosophy to residential. “We treat our residential customers just like we treat our commercial business,” said Civitillo. “Our goal is to keep a homeowner’s equipment running as long as possible to maximize their investment.” With a metal shop and Riverview Crane division, Bay Harbor has an unusual depth of resources that allows it to execute its service-first approach in the residential air conditioning market. “We try to do everything in-house as much as we possibly can,” said Tyler Wood, general manager. “Because we have our own cranes and equipment, it allows us to give better quality service and often better prices. Plus, our installers and service techs are masters in the air conditioning trade.” One of Bay Harbor’s most popular services is its filter replacement pro-

gram, especially for families with allergies. “If you have allergies, you can put in a thicker filter. However, it’s not as straightforward as you would think because, with a thicker filter, you could impede the performance of your A/C. So it helps having a company get the right filter,” said Civitillo. Bay Harbor also has products designed to clean a home’s air. “It’s not just about having cool air,” said Civitillo. “We have products that focus on cleaning air, including BlueTube UV, that use ultraviolet blue light to kill microbes.” Bay Harbor also installs mini-split or ductless systems for home renovations and room additions, but they recommend consulting a professional whenever any major air conditioning system changes are made. “Mini-splits are really popular, but many people don’t realize it is important to have an expert come out and look at your usage area, because sometimes having a bigger unit can do more harm than good,” said Civitillo. Bay Harbor recommends performing maintenance on your air conditioner twice a year and changing the filters every two months. If it’s time to replace a unit, the company carries industry-leading Trane products, as well as Trane’s more economical line, Ameristar.

This new development is going up catty-corner from Sunlake High School, which will be adding a 20-classroom wing, to increase its capacity by 400.

SCHOOL, from page 1A campus, which has been serving students in grades six through 12. It is expected to have a capacity of 1,600 students, making it the district’s largest middle school. The district initially had intended to open a high school and a middle school on the site, but fell short of funds, so opened the high school building and split the facilities between a middle school and a high school. When the middle school opens, boundary changes will be needed to fill up the schools. Superintendent Kurt Browning told the board at its June 4 meeting that parents were notified by telephone before the end of the school year that they may be affected by a pending rezoning, Browning said. “We will be doing a lot of address verification work over the summer, in those affected areas.“And then, we will begin late summer putting maps together and really amping up that process,” Browning said. Meanwhile, a $33 million renovation is underway at Zephyrhills High School. In addition to significant upgrades, the school will boost its capacity by 500 students. The district also is planning a technical school in East Pasco, which is expected to open in 2022 and will affect high school enrollments on the east side of the county. Beyond that, work continues to secure future school sites. At its recent meeting, the board approved moving forward toward acquisition of 65 acres on the north side of proposed State Road 52, one-half mile east of Curley Road, south of St. Leo, on what is known as the Merrymeeting site.The purchase price is $25,000 an acre. The district previously approved acquisition of 104 acres near the Connected City

area of Wesley Chapel, on a site at the southeast corner of Curley and Kiefer roads, directly across the street from future phases of Epperson Ranch, and just south of the future Mirada development. That acreage potentially will be used to house a future high school and/or a future kindergarten through eighth grade campus. The full sales price was slightly more than $2 million. The district also has acquired land on Handcart Road, with the bulk of the acreage purchased for $28,500 per acre in 2008 and some additional acreage purchased in 2010, at $15,455 per acre.

CHARTER, from page 1A Pinecrest Academy Wesley Chapel will provide all students with a core curriculum of English/language arts, mathematics, social science, science, and electives, such as performing and fine arts, world languages, Project Lead the Way and other offerings, according to the school’s website. Parents who are interested in the school can go to the website (PinecrestWesleyChapel.com) to fill out an interest form. Melissa Farmer, who attended the groundbreaking with her 5-year-old son, Mason, is one of those people who is interested in learning more about the school. Even though the charter school won’t open for a year, she’s attracted to the possibility because she believes that charter schools tend to have smaller class sizes and usually offer a higher general quality of education. So, when the Lake Bernadette resident learned that the new school was coming, she was eager to find out more. The Pasco County School Board approved Pinecrest’s charter application in 2017. Academica is the education service provider for all of the Pinecrest schools. Fernando Barroso, a representative of Academica, expressed gratitude for the support that Pinecrest has received from the Pasco County school district’s staff, and from the school board. “I’d like to thank our partners in Avalon Park,” Barroso added.“Avalon Park group is a great entity. This isn’t our first school that we’ve built with them and it’s not going to be our last.” Barroso added:“It’s been a tremendous amount of work, just to get here today.Yet, it’s just the beginning.The tough, heavy lifting, is in front of us.” Pastor Dave Huff, of Trinity Church of Wesley Chapel, said he’s pleased that a new school is being built in the community. “For the longest time, there was nothing but trees. The school coming in, is awesome,” Huff said. Judith Marty, founding board chair of Pinecrest, is enthusiastic about bringing Pinecrest’s brand of education to a new locale. “Thank you for being here and thank you for believing in us,” Marty told those gathered. Then, she offered a brief recap of Pinecrest’s history. When Pinecrest began its first school, the construction was delayed, she said. “So, we opened in a banquet hall with a hundred students.” As the school’s operations went on, parents of fourth- and fifth-graders asked for a middle school, and then they wanted a high school, Marty said. Now, Pinecrest has 16 schools and is opening more. Most of its schools operate in South Florida, but it also has four charter schools in Nevada and will be opening another one in August.

Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election. Corley said he has read the entire report. He also noted that depending on which news channel people watch, they tend to call the report “fake news,” or tend to say “It definitely happened.The president needs to be impeached.” Corley did not offer his personal opinion. But, he did say, “When you read the report, it lays out, in explicit detail, what happened.“ He also cited these words, from Mueller: “There were multiple systematic attempts to interfere in our election.That allegation deserves the attention of every American.” Corley said citizens do need to be concerned about any attempts by foreign governments to meddle in our elections. He also raised concerns about the misuse of social media. “We are unknowingly aiding those who want to destroy us from within,” Corley said. “In 2016, over 72,000 Americans RSVP’d to a political event on Facebook, that truly was fake news. It was created by some knucklehead in another country. “That’s troubling, when you think about it,” he added. There were fake Twitter accounts set up, such as @TenneseeGOP, Corley said. “Using social media, they did millions of dollars of ads to pit us against each other. In the morning, it would be a Pro Black Lives Matter. In the afternoon, it would be pictures of Rebel flags, saying anti-Black Lives Matter messages. Pro Hillary, anti-Hillary. Pro Trump. “It was trying to polarize us against each other,” Corley said. “What was their goal in 2016? Their goal was to erode voter confidence, delegitimize the winner, and polarize America. Hmm. Sound like they were pretty successful?” He also talked about the damage that polarization is causing in personal relationships. “I actually know somebody — a father and a son — who were bickering about who to vote for on Facebook,” he said. One unfriended the other, he noted. “These are blood. (They) Stopped talking.To this day, they don’t talk,” he said. The forum doesn’t lend itself to thoughtful discussions, Corley added. “Have you ever seen something on Facebook, and you’ve written to somebody about a political issue? And the person has written back, ‘Wow, that’s an excellent point. I have never thought of that point of view, thank you.’ “No, they write back,‘You’re an idiot,’ or some clever little meme describing you,” Corley said. He has even noticed a change in the atmosphere at local polling places during the past three general elections.

B.C. MANION

Pasco County Supervisor of Elections Brian Corley expects the 2020 Presidential Election ‘to be one for the ages.’

“I look back, during early voting, the presidential general in 2012, Land O’ Lakes Library, (on the) last day.There was a line. “But, it was like a block party atmosphere. People of different races, ethnicities, genders, political backgrounds.They were talking to their neighbors.They don’t know each other. Just chatting. No one cared who was going to vote for whom. You were either going to vote for Mitt Romney or President Obama,” he said. But, he noted, in 2016, “It wasn’t that way. “It was palpable.You could see people in the polling places and in early voting, they were there on a mission.They were either there to vote for (Donald) Trump, or vote for Hillary (Clinton) — and don’t talk to me. “It was just like robotic. It was troubling, to be honest with you,” Corley said. And, in 2018, he added,“I’m comfortable saying, I saw a little more return to civility. “We need civility. Civility is not a dirty word. “Have your discussions, your debates, your disagreements. But, at the end of the day, we’re all Americans. We’re united as Americans,” Corley said. Corley also addressed the importance to protecting election results against cyber threats. Security will be enhanced, but those steps must remain confidential, Corley said. He also pointed out that the system recently was tested because of the need for three recounts in the 2018 election. “We had lawyers from Washington, Tallahassee, representatives locally of the different campaigns, the different local parties. Different sides of the aisle, clearly. But, they were there for the whole thing, several days. They got to witness the transparency. “It instilled confidence in the system. That’s what we need, in this day and age,” Corley said.

Judith Marty, founding board chair for Pinecrest charter schools, said ‘once we commit to a community, we’re not going to let you down.’

All of the schools are high performing, Marty said. For instance,“Pinecrest Prep High School is graduating 99 percent, with a population that is predominantly Hispanic.We also are placing 97 percent of those students in college,” she said. “Once we commit to a community, we’re not going to let you down,” Marty promised. Beat Kahli, president and CEO of Avalon Park Group, told the gathering that in the mid-1980s he invited two dozen real estate agents in Orlando to ask them for recommendations of what would be good to offer the people of east Orlando, at what would become Avalon Park East. Kahli suspected they would tell him to build golf courses, or a waterpark. Instead, they told him: “We want good schools.” From that, he learned,“If you have a good school, everything else follows.” Now, Kahli is involved in creating Avalon Park West, which, when completed, is expected to have 4,400 residential units, 560,000 square feet of commercial space and 120,000 square feet of office space. Avalon Park West kicked off the development of its downtown with a ribbon cutting last fall. When the project is completed, Kahli said, it “will be a town, where you never have to leave if you don’t want because you will be able to satisfy all of your needs. “It’s great to be here in Wesley Chapel,” Kahli said.“Let’s build this downtown. Let’s start with the most important — the school.”

Lexi Kilfoyl named state’s best — again By Kevin Weiss

Lexi Kilfoyl

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

ne of area’s most dominant softball players ever has again proved she’s tops in the entire Sunshine State. Academy at the Lakes (AATL) senior pitcher Lexi Kilfoyl has been named 2019 Gatorade Florida Softball Player of the Year, given to the state’s best softball player, regardless of classification. When it comes to receiving the notable distinction, the Wildcats star is on familiar ground. The 6-foot-2 right-handed ace and first base slugger won the award last year, too, making her just the third two-time winner from the state, joining Dunnellon’s Kasey Fagan (2009-10) and Spruce Creek’s Kelsi Dunne (2006-07). Kilfoyl is the only Pasco County softball player to have ever won the award. The Gatorade State Player of the Year award was established in 1985 “to recognize the nation’s most outstanding high school student-athletes for their athletic excellence, academic achievement and exemplary character.” The program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross-country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track & field, and awards one national player of the year in each sport. The honor is surely deserved for Kilfoyl, who’s set to join the University of Alabama softball program on scholarship this fall. Equipped with a powerful arm and bat, Kilfoyl buoyed Academy at the Lakes to a 19-7 mark and its second straight FHSAA (Florida High School Athletic Association) Class 2A state title last month in Vero Beach. In the May 21 state championship game — an 11-0 shutout over Mount Dora Christian Academy — Kilfoyl fired a six-inning no-hitter with 10 strikeouts in the circle, and drove in two runs and scored another on two hits at the plate. Kilfoyl also pitched a one-hit, nine strikeout complete game shutout in the Class 2A semifinals win over Palatka Penel Baptist Academy, while adding in four runs on two hits of her own. The state finals were a microcosm of sorts for Kilfoyl’s senior campaign and her entire Wildcats career, for that matter. She registered a 14-1 record with a 0.48

ERA, striking out 134 batters in 72.2 innings pitched, while allowing just 15 hits in 2019. She also produced the best hitting season of her varsity career, posting a .563 batting average with 12 home runs and 37 RBIs, compiling a .653 on-base percentage and a 1.188 slugging percentage. Making it all the more impressive: Kilfoyl did it all while nursing a trapezius strain, which forced her to abstain from pitching for about a month in the middle of the season. Because of that, Kilfoyl actually wasn’t expecting to repeat as state player of the year. “It definitely was kind of a shocker,”

Kilfoyl said, “because my pitching stats weren’t the greatest compared to other pitchers that had that month to get their stats up that much more, so I definitely was very surprised and it almost felt very relieving to know that missing one month can’t kill you.” What Kilfoyl may have lacked in total innings pitched, she more than made up for with the bat, notching career highs in virtually every statistical category. The month of pitching missed allowed her to better fine-tune her approach at the plate, she said. “I think because hitting was mainly the only thing I could do, that was my main

SAINT LEO GETS NEW COACH

The Saint Leo University men’s basketball program will be guided by a familiar face, as the school announced it has tabbed Lance Randall its next head coach. Randall retakes a Lions program he led from 2011-2015, where he posted a 78-44 mark, which included back-to-back 20-plus win seasons, three straight NCAA Division II regional appearances and a Sunshine State Conference (SSC) title. Randall replaces Vance Alexander, who exited Saint Leo to accept an assistant coaching position at Division I Rice University (Houston,Texas).Alexander posted a 56-63 record in four seasons at Saint Leo, including a 13-16 mark last season. Randall, meanwhile, spent the last four seasons as head coach for the Division II Lindenwood University, where he registered a 69-55 mark and four consecutive confer-

ence tournament appearances. “We are thrilled to welcome Lance and the Randall family back to Saint Leo,” Saint Leo athletic director Fran Reidy said, in a release. “Coach Randall has proven that he Coach Lance Randall can win in the SSC and do this at Saint Leo,” he added. Reidy continued:“With a veteran team returning, a smooth transition in the leadership of the program, we are looking forward to an exciting year in the Bowman Center.” Prior to his first stint at Saint Leo, Randall was an associate head coach on the

other stops. In three seasons at AATL, Stephenson steered the program to three straight district titles, three straight region finals and back-to-back consecutive state championships, to go along with a combined 65-14 mark.

focus, and I think definitely had something to do with it,” Kilfoyl said, of her batting numbers. The 2019 season puts a bow on what’s been a lengthy varsity career at AATL, one that began when Kilfoyl was in the seventh grade. In her previous five seasons combined, Kilfoyl had a 76-15 record, with a 1.13 earned run average and 842 strikeouts across 571.1 innings pitched. She also generated a .466 batting average with 17 home runs, 38 extra base hits and 129 RBIs in 104 games. For most of her career, Kilfoyl has been widely regarded as one of the nation’s top prep pitchers and college prospects, being named the No. 5 recruit overall in the Class of 2019 by Softball America. Kilfoyl and Land O’ Lakes High School senior pitcher Callie Turner are among just 20 athletes nationwide who’ve been selection to the 2019 USA Softball Junior Women’s National Training Team. Kilfoyl also made the junior national squad back in 2017, then the team’s youngest member as a 16-year-old sophomore. Reflecting on her prep career, Kilfoyl said:“I feel like I did accomplish everything that was possible. I definitely feel like I’ve done everything that I could, and couldn’t have done it any other way, no better way to end it.” And, helping the AATL softball program win its first state title last year goes down as her all-time favorite moment. It was an 11-inning, rain-soaked pitcher’s duel in which the Wildcats defeated Monticello Aucilla Christian 1-0. “Winning states last year was the most memorable,” Kilfoyl said. “The game was such neck-and-neck, and we didn’t know if we were going to win.” Kilfoyl, who also was a standout volleyball and basketball at AATL, isn’t the only high-profile athlete in her family, remarkably. Her older brother, Darin, is a 6-foot-8 right-handed pitcher at Division I University of North Florida. He previously starred on the baseball diamond at AATL and St. Johns River State College.Their younger brother, Andrew, is a rising junior offensive lineman at Gaither High School, who is already garnering Division I interest as a 6-foot-5, 275-pound left tackle.Andrew transferred to Gaither after earning All-State honors in the eight-man football ranks at AATL each of the last two seasons. Kilfoyl said the family regularly works out together, challenging one another for athletics accomplishments. “We definitely push each other,” Kilfoyl said,“but then there is also kind of a little bit of competitive side to us, like,‘Oh I did this better than you,’ just how like siblings are.” Lakeshore Road in Lutz.

Pioneer Florida Museum gets new exhibits By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

isitors to the Pioneer Florida Museum and Village now will be able to see an up-close look at how blacksmiths and woodworkers mastered their crafts as settlers back in the 1800s and 1900s. Guests will be able to glimpse the tools used back then — whether the craftsmen were pulling forge bellows and shaping hot steel, or operating a foot-powered treadle lathe and turning wood. The museum, located at 15602 Pioneer Museum Road in Dade City, recently added a full-fledged blacksmith shop and wood wright shop to its extensive collection of reenactment building exhibits. The new shops were officially unveiled at a dedication ceremony last month at the museum property. Materials and hand tools for both shops were donated by Paul Rhinesmith, a longtime museum demonstrator and trustee. Both exhibits are named for him. The new additions took about a year to complete and furnish — as well as replicate something seen at the turn of the century, said Pioneer Museum board president Seth Mann. Previously, the museum didn’t have any actual working forge or wood wright shop, so smaller blacksmith and woodsmith demonstrations would take place at the museum’s Mabel Jordan Barn, which houses collections of early farm equipment, vintage buggies and carriages. So, for Mann and other trustees, the new shops make for “a beautiful addition” to the 20-acre museum property that houses an old schoolhouse, a church, an original settler’s home, a general store, a shoe repair shop, a citrus packing house, a train depot and more. The blacksmith shop measures 24-by-24 feet and the wood wright shop is 24-by-32 feet. The museum acquired Dade City road bricks to put in the floor of the blacksmith shop, and used beams from one of the railroads, in the building. The wood wright shop, meanwhile, contains cypress wood from the porch of a historic log cabin in Lacoochee, that soon will be moved to the museum property. “We try to show people what the businesses looked like,” Mann said.“In historic Pasco, the carpentry shop and the blacksmith shop would’ve been major businesses downtown.” The museum couldn’t survive without donations from community members, such as the Rhinesmith family, Mann said. “Most of the buildings and exhibits we have here are contributed, even the land was contributed,” the museum board president said.“It takes the volunteers to come out here and work, the board members, the trustees — we all have to work to try to make the museum a success.” Rhinesmith, 86, suffers from a rare eye disease and lives in an assisted living facility in Zephyrhills. But, he and his family were at the dedication ceremony. His son, Phillip Rhinesmith, said the longtime volunteer dreamed of the museum having standalone blacksmith and woodworking shops when he did demonstrations in the 1990s and the 2000s, up until he began losing his eyesight. “He knew he wouldn’t be able to demonstrate but still wanted to be able to show his support and donate to the museum,” Phillip Rhinesmith said. Phillip Rhinesmith said boxes upon boxes of hand tools donated were collected or handmade by his father over many decades. That includes an extensive collection of rare, vintage Stanley woodworking planes the elder Rhinesmith crafted himself for various projects. “Everything he built, there were no power tools, no sandpaper, no nails. Everything was friction fit together,” Phillip Rhinesmith said. “He knew if he needed a specific tool for a job, he would copy old designs out of old books and build the planes himself. It’s pretty incredible.”

Marilynn Ory, of Wesley Chapel, left, and her husband, Richard, admire the handmade wooden boxes and tools on display in the new wood wright shop. The Orys are both volunteers with the museum.

The son added, “The legacy that he leaves with his tools here, most his collection, it means a lot to the family to be a part of this community.” Bill Holmes is a new volunteer docent at the wood wright shop and a veteran carpenter. He said many of Rhinesmith’s donated tools, like a foot-powered treadle lathe, are so rare that he’s only seen them in books or on television.

Wood Wright Bill Holmes, of San Antonio, demonstrates how he uses a ripping saw to cut reclaimed lumber that will be used to make wood boxes. The wood for this project comes from the porch of a historic log cabin in Lacoochee, that will soon be moved to the museum property.

“The guy was such a craftsman to get this together, to be able to use this stuff,” Holmes said.“All these tools, they’re still in impeccable shape. I can still use them today. A lot of times when you see these tools they’re so beat up, but these are impeccable working pieces.” Fellow volunteer docent Steve Melton, who helps operate the blacksmith shop, was likewise impressed with Rhinesmith’s collection of donated hand tools, calling

them “the real deal.” Melton added both shops — and the many the items in them — are important for educating schoolchildren that visit the museum each year. “This introduces to them a lot of the heritage arts,” Melton said, “and so it is just a remarkable addition to this community.” To learn more about the Pioneer Florida Museum and Village, visit PioneerFloridaMuseum.org.

Pasco ramping up enforcement on doggy dining

Pasco County restaurants can have doggy diners in designated areas — but only if the restaurant has the proper permit. Pasco County officials are now putting out the word that restaurateurs who allow doggy dining without the proper paperwork will face stiff fines — of up to $500 per instance, according to a Pasco County news release. The county passed an ordinance in 2017 allowing diners to bring along their best “four-legged friends” out to eat. But, restaurants choosing to allow patrons to bring their dogs must abide by specific rules. First, they need a permit. They also must: • Provide separate access for dogs from the outdoors • Supply waterless hand sanitizer at every table • Keep dogs off the furniture • Clearly identify the dog dining area

Pop along with Oreo Oreo the guinea pig was born last August and was adopted as an early Christmas present last November. She is a sweet guinea pig that received her name because of her hair color. Oreo is black on the bottom, white in the middle and black on top — just like an Oreo cookie. She is very similar to a cat, as she cleans herself, is litter trained and purrs when she is held. Oreo loves to sit on her male human’s lap while being brushed and held. When she gets excited, she runs around her cage and ‘popcorns.’ When cavies (the scientific name for guinea pig) get excited, they pop straight up in the air and run around. Oreo is a delight for her family, Rachel and Jack Tipton, of Wesley Chapel.

Restaurants that have a permit and follow the rules are allowed to select the hours and days that the dogs are welcome, according to the release. So far, just a handful of local restaurant are in compliance with the county’s ordinance, the release says. But, county officials say that that compliance is key. “These rules help foster a safe and sanitary experience for all guests,” Development Services Assistant County Administrator Don Rosenthal said, in the release Restaurant owners who would like to apply for a Dog Dining Permit can do so through Pasco County Central Permitting. The application is available online at bit.ly/DogDiningApp. There is a one-time $50 fee, and applications must be submitted in person at 8731 Citizens Drive in New Port Richey.

Iconic wildlife

Steve Vinik and his wife frequently see a variety of birds in their Lexington Oaks community in Wesley Chapel, including sandhill cranes. The cranes have been known to take turns pecking birdseed from the Viniks’ bird feeder. Some of the sandhill crane’s favorite meal items include seeds, plant tubers, grains, berries and insects. Unlike other wading birds, sandhill cranes do not ‘fish.’
