It grew quickly, swallowing two homes and the roadway in front of it before going dormant that evening.

First responders from Pasco County Fire Rescue were on scene by 7:36 a.m., according to county officials.

“Very quickly, it (the sinkhole) started expanding toward the house, and then the house started falling in,” Guthrie said, estimated that happened within 30 to 40 minutes of them being on scene.

First responders rescued two dogs from one home and quickly evacuated other nearby homes, he said.

The Pasco County School Board didn’t get the school impact rate increases initially recommended by a consultant hired by the school district, and the building community didn’t get the rate it was pushing — but Pasco County Commissioners have agreed to support higher impact fees for school construction.

During a July 11 public hearing, commissioners committed to a proposed ordinance that calls for gradually increasing the rates — over a three-year period, with the first increase set to kick in on Jan. 1, 2018.

Commissioners have scheduled a final vote on the issue for Aug. 15.

By the time the rates reach their final amount in 2020, they will represent 92 percent of what the school district’s consultant had recommended, according to David Goldstein, chief assistant county attorney for Pasco County.

Achieving the compromise required a flurry of last-minute activity between representatives for the school district and the county, Goldstein said.

Golf course gives way to new development

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Goldstein and Ray Gadd, deputy superintendent for Pasco County Schools worked out details over the weekend prior to the commission’s meeting.

“Ray called me at 7 o’clock on a Saturday morning and said, ‘If I’ve got to work 24 hours a day trying to resolve this, you’ve got to wake up and help me resolve it, too,” Goldstein said.

Gadd added: “We’ve been working on this quite a bit from Friday night ‘til Monday afternoon,” including a Sunday morning call that involved the district’s finance chief, its impact fee consultant and others.

“We didn’t get everything we wanted, nor did the builders,” Gadd said.

There were other stakeholders who didn’t get everything they wanted, either.

Representatives of the multifamily industry failed to persuade commissioners to reduce the proposed fee increases for multifamily dwellings.

Parents were unable to convince commissioners to adopt the full fees that the school district’s consultant had recommended and to make them effective this year.

Residents came away disappointed when Pasco County commissioners approved a plan to replace Quail Hollow Golf Course with houses, offices, retail and a day care center.

Nearby homeowners had argued for months that the project would devalue their property and harm the neighborhood’s residential character.

They also expressed concerns about flooding and increased traffic on inadequate roads.

Despite those concerns, commissioners voted 5-1 for the redevelopment project on July 11.

The matter first came before commissioners in March, but a final vote was postponed several times.

Commission Chairman Mike Moore cast the dissenting vote.

“We know we can’t keep the golf course open. I get it,” Moore said.“I was hoping we could stay more consistent with what the neighborhood is.That’s what (residents) were expecting for a long time to come. It sounds like they are losing that today.”

Andre Carollo, of Pasco Office Park LLC, plans to close the unprofitable golf course.

In its place, there would be up to 400 single-family houses, 30,000 square feet of office/retail and 10,000 square feet of day care.

The approval includes a long list of conditions — stemming from objections raised by residents.

There was little common ground between residents and the golf course’s owner.

When the matter came before the county’s Development Review Committee in March, it received a favorable vote.

Throughout the process, Pasco County planners also have stuck by their recommendation for approval.

“I understand. It comes down to a land rights thing,” said Pasco County Commissioner

a.m., the sinkhole was at the edge of the driveway of one of the destroyed homes.

“Within 45 minutes, the entire roadway was in,” he said.

In addition to the two homes — at 21825 Ocean Pines Drive and 21835 Ocean Pines Drive — that were destroyed, the county tagged nine other homes as being unsafe to enter.

Dade City star had familiar face, but unfamiliar name Knowing Your History

By Doug Sanders

Special to The Laker/Lutz News

I

magine this: A fictional round on the popular game show,“Jeopardy!”

The contestants listen closely as host Alex Trebek says: “During the middle 1960s, he was one of the most recognizable faces on network television.”

A contestant responds: “Who is Roy Barnes Jones, of Dade City, Florida?”

Indeed.

Who is this man — whose face was familiar to millions, but whose name remains relatively unknown?

Roy Barnes Jones was born on March 18, 1906.

Records online with ancestry.com show that his parents were married in Dade City, and that his older sister, Nannie Louise Jones, was born there in 1904.

“It might be difficult to confirm that Roy was born in Dade City, but it seems likely,” according to Jeff Miller, webmaster for the Pasco County history website fivay.org.

“Some sources say he was born in Tampa, but maybe that’s because Tampa is better known,” Miller said.

He adds:“Roy’s father was a true Pasco pioneer, shown as living at Cedar Tree in 1870, before there was a Pasco County.”

While those same genealogical records document Jones as the youngest of six children in his family, not even the digital collections of the Dade City Banner— online at the University of Florida — make any mention of Jones’ 40-year career as a character actor. During those four decades, Jones appeared in more than 900 productions on stage and screen.

According to the Internet Broadway Database for theatre productions, Jones began his acting career on the stage as Roy Roberts, first appearing in such plays as “Old

Man Murphy” in 1931, followed by “Twentieth Century” in 1932, “The Body Beautiful” in 1935 and “My Sister Eileen” in 1942.

“Roy was a cousin on the Tait side of my family and visited our home here in Dade City for family reunions when I was a kid,” recalls Darwin Croft, co-owner of Croft Farms in Pasco County.

Additional sources from the Internet Movie Database report that Roberts made his motion picture debut in “Gold Bricks,” a 1936 two-reel comedy short released by the film studios at 20th Century Fox. By 1943, he had successfully switched to the silver screen, debuting as a Marine officer in “Guadalcanal Diary” with William Bendix. He appeared in 1953 as the crooked business partner (and first victim) in Vincent Price’s “House of Wax.” When he started recurring appearances on television, he was not known necessarily by name. But, the stocky character — portrayed with silvery hair and a perfectly trimmed mustache — reminded fans and actors of the “Mr. Monopoly” character from the classic board game.

Leads To Fun on 41 4

By Cheryl Michal The Laker/Lutz News Account Manager

I’m excited to share with you the beautiful map across from this story on page 2 of this week’s paper. It showcases some of the fabulous small businesses along U.S. 41 in Land O’ Lakes, and invites d ffrom throughout h h P Pasco our readers and north Hillsborough counties to visit these unique shops and restaurants.

The map was inspired by Kathy Mullen, owner of The Snappy Gator and a long-time resident of Land O’ Lakes. I met Kathy earlier this year, shortly after joining the newspaper’s advertising staff. Kathy told me about her vision to get the word out to more people about the interesting shops along U.S. 41, and to promote Land O’ Lakes as a unique shopping destination that’s close to home.

Kathy had already partnered with Brooksville artist Lee Middleton to develop a delightfully whimsical map of U.S. 41 and its businesses. As the project evolved into a full-page pro-

motion in The Laker/Lutz News, a Laura Bloomerr,, Land O’ Lakes artist who is also the owner of The Blooming Housse shown on the map, volunteered to take t over, and designed and paainted the beautiful rendition you seee in today’s paper.

U.S. Route 41 4 travels 479 miles from Miami up to the Georgia border.

Here in Pasco County, C it’s known as Land O’ Lakes Boulevard, B and it’s along this stretcch that the map features local l l busin b inesses who are participating in this prroject.

Each month I will introduce you to one of these bussinesses, and share with you what m makes them unique.

Like myself, I beet many of you have driven past thesse establishments countless times as you traveled, but have never stop pped to go inside to meet the ownerr and peruse the shop’s wares or enjoy tthe restaurant’s specials. map out of today’s So tear this m paper and hang it on your fridge, or tuck it away in your vehicle. And then, plan a mo orning or afternoon exploring hiddeen treasures in Lutz and Land O’ Laakes. You will have fun, and I prom mise, will not be disappointed.

Between takes on the set of Smoky in 1946, Roberts, center, finds time to get a haircut from his co-star, Fred MacMurray. Also starring Anne Baxter, Bruce Cabot, Hoyt Axton, Burl Ives and Slim Pickens, the movie was a drama about the strong bond between a cowpoke and a wild bronco set during the 1940s.

“I remember being so thrilled that Roy was my distant cousin,” recalls Polly Hamm of Dade City.

Roberts made famous a take-charge demeanor when he played the no-nonsense Admiral Rogers on “McHale’s Navy” and the steely railroad president Norman Curtis on CBS’ “Petticoat Junction.”

The same thing could be said when he was cast as Darren Stephens’ father on “Bewitched” and as the father of Rob Petrie on the “Dick Van Dyke Show.”

From 1956 to 1960, Roberts gueststarred in the western series, “My Friend Flicka,” which became the first Roy Roberts, with actors Don Knotts (Barney Fife) television series filmed by 20th and Andy Griffith (Sheriff Andy Taylor) on the Century Fox, and as a Texas cattle ‘Andy Griffith Show’ in 1962. In season 2 episode baron in “The Life and Legend of Wyatt 29, Roberts played the vindictive newspaper publisher J. Howard Jackson, who accuses Sheriff Earp.”

Roy Roberts appeared on four Taylor of official misconduct after he is arrested episodes of the CBS legal drama,“Perry on a traffic violation.

Discover Twisted Sprocket Café Special to The Laker / Lutz News

The new community of Bexley in Land O’ Lakes is getting lots of recognition for its parks and trail system, beautiful homes from prestigious builders, and new elementary school that opens this fall.

Yet to be discovered by many, however, is Bexley’s best-kept secret —The Twisted Sprocket Café.

This gem of a café is located inside The Bexley Club, which is part of the amenity center for Bexley residents.

People are often surprised to learn that the community’s restaurant is also open to the public, and that the cafe offers so much more than a traditional grab-andgo menu found at most clubhouses.

The Twisted Sprocket Café is headed up by clubhouse and café Manager Ashley Davis, a talented young chef and FIU graduate who has created a surprising menu of delightful recipes that are getting rave reviews from local food bloggers.

One of the café’s most popular sandwiches, the Bexley Club, received outstanding kudos by blogger Mike Sylvester, who posts at The Geeky Traveler website.

“The Bexley Club,” Sylvester writes, “is jammed, packed full of goodness and wrapped in a soft, but warm, crispy Tuscan baguette and layered with a little ranch dressing.”

Sylvester describes the Twisted Sprocket Salad as “overflowing with flavor and textured with walnuts, dried cranberries, tomatoes and bacon, all served on a huge bed of spring mix. The

honey mustard vinaigrette that was chosen rounded this salad off perfectly.”

Most menu items are made from recipes created by Davis, including smoothies and milk shakes, French toast, omelets, pastries, sandwiches, flatbreads, quesadillas and desserts.

The Cafe overlooks a lovely lake in a serene woodland setting that is a mile or so from busy State Road 54 to the south and the Veterans Expressway to the west. Decks overlook the lake with cabin-like chairs and tables, and guests enjoy the view inside from tables, booths and a friendly, old-fashioned counter. During cooler months, folks enjoy fireplaces located inside the café and on the deck.

“We’ve created an inviting, comfortable restaurant that is perfect for eating inside or out,” said Davis. “The décor has an eclectic feel that is neither modern nor rustic, but something inbetween. It’s perfect for morning coffee with friends, someplace different for business meetings and a relaxing restaurant with no wait for families getting together for a weekend breakfast or lunch.”

Davis invites area residents to bring their laptops to the café and spend a few hours catching up with work, or staying in touch with family and friends. The Café serves Buddy Brew, a rich specialty coffee made in Tampa, craft beers from Big Storm Brewery in nearby Odessa, and has a respectable section of wine.

Working alongside Davis, are Assistant Manager Ashley Fairbanks, and café attendants Leah Palacio and Adrianna Caruso.

BUDGET, from page 1A Initially, the county was expecting a total of $24.2 billion, which represented a 5.8 percent increase.

The revised numbers account for the county’s unexpected windfall of $3 million.

This data came from the Pasco County Property Appraiser’s Office.

With the good news on revenues, county commissioners voted to put most of additional revenue into reserves, but also to eliminate parking fees at nine parks.

However, the $5 fees at boat ramps would remain.The county collects about $75,000 annually from those fees.

Pasco County Commissioners Jack Mariano and Mike Wells Jr., pushed to end the parking fees.

“I think there are folks who can’t afford to go to the parks because of the $2 fee,” said Wells.“That’s reality.”

Pasco County Commissioner Kathryn Starkey supported the decision on parking fees. But, she had a caveat.

“I’m not in favor of getting rid of money (parking fees) for parks, unless we give them more money,” she said.

County commissioners agreed to add $320,000 to the parks department’s budget to cover lost revenues from the parking fees. Starkey also wants the county to create municipal service taxing units next year to directly benefit parks and libraries.

At their July 11 meeting in Dade City,

IMPACT, from page 1A

commissioners also agreed to leave the property tax, or millage, rate unchanged.

However, some homeowners could see a slight increase of less than $10 in their annual tax bill, based on a 2.1 percent increase in homesteaded property values.

Revaluations totaling slightly more than $1 billion account for some of the increase in property tax revenue projections. Early numbers indicated about $624 million in revaluations.

About $693 million in new construction accounted for about one-third of the increase.That is about $5 million more than last year.

One more item could make it into the budget.

County commissioners will consider giving $25,000 each to the West Pasco Historical Society Museum and Library in New Port Richey, and the Pioneer Florida Museum in Dade City.

“I think reaching out to them would be a good thing,” said Pasco County Commissioner Ron Oakley.

However, he was asked to provide details on how the money would be spent before commissioners give their approval.

Two public hearings will be held on the 2018 budget, which would be effective October 1.

The first hearing is Sept. 13 at 6:30 p.m., at the Pasco County Historic Courthouse in Dade City.The final hearing would be at the West Pasco Government Center boardroom in New Port Richey on Sept. 26 at 6:30 p.m.

Current Rate:

“Why should the burden fall on our children?” Doug Wood, of Wesley Chapel asked.

“The teachers and the children should not have to suffer.”

And, even though the Tampa Bay Builders Association agreed to the compromise, it wants the school board to continue looking for a broad-based revenue source to help tackle the issue.

“These are significant increases,” said Mark Spada, president of the Tampa Bay Builders Association told commissioners.

“Pasco’s school impact fees will be among the highest in Florida and in the nation, and the total of all Pasco impact fees will be among the highest in the nation.”

Spada also noted:“Increasing fees increases the price of a home.The higher the price, the less people can afford to buy homes.

Stu Gibbons chaired the School Funding Infrastructure Committee, created by commissioners.

He described the compromise as a fair and reasonable solution.

However, he noted,“this is a difficult discussion because it’s an important discussion; I think we all know that.

“It is very complex,” he said, noting “there are just a lot of components to this.”

“I do encourage, as we did during the committee discussions, seeking as many broad-based sources of funding as possible,” Gibbons said.

Commissioner Ron Oakley said, before the compromise was reached, he had determined that a reasonable amount would be about 75 percent to 80 percent of what the school board was asking for, and to begin the increase immediately.

“In the long run, I agree with this compromise,” Oakley said.

Commissioner Kathryn Starkey also supported the proposed increase.“I think there is nothing more important than a strong, healthy vibrant school district. That’s what makes a strong, healthy and vibrant community.”

Commissioner Jack Mariano said the compromise will improve the situation, but isn’t the entire solution.

Mariano would like to see commissioners unite with the school board and other stake-

SINKHOLE, from page 1A however, no one was injured.

The neighborhood was cordoned off on July 14 to keep people safe and keep curiosity seekers out.

Besides a heavy presence of public safety officials, scores of media outlets swarmed the neighborhood on July 14. News trucks straddled the normally quiet residential streets, and drones and helicopters buzzed overhead.

The story made the national news, received extensive coverage on local television stations and captured air time on NPR, too.

Pasco County Commissioner Kathryn Starkey visited the site on July 17, to see the devastation firsthand and to announce a relief effort established to help those affected.

“Seeing it on TV is very different from seeing it live,” Starkey said, of the sinkhole’s damage.

“This is just devastating for our community. I’m just very thankful we had no loss of life,” she added.

The commissioner also offered this reassurance: “I wanted our residents and our citizens to know that the Pasco County Commission is here for them.”

United Way of Pasco has partnered with the county to help the people who have been affected by the sinkhole, said Alice Delgardo, CEO of the organization.

A sinkhole relief fund has been set up by United Way of Pasco, and another one is being established by SunTrust Bank, Delgardo said.

Anyone wishing to contribute can be assured that those accounts are legitimate and will provide help to those affected, Guthrie said.

Immediately after the news conference with Starkey, water quality sampling began.

Water at the nine homes that were evacuated will be tested, as well as another 11 homes in the neighborhood, Guthrie said.

Results were expected by the afternoon of July 18 (after The Laker/Lutz News went to press).

No other action by the county was expected on July 17.

“We are still in that 48-hour waiting period that the Department of Environmental Protection has asked us to do.

WANT TO HELP? Those wanting to help can visit UnitedWayPasco.org and click on the sinkhole relief banner; text sinkhole41444 or check with SunTrust Bank, which also is setting up a relief fund account.

“The Department of Environmental Protection will be back today (July 17) to do another water level assessment to make sure that things are not growing,” Guthrie said.

Before it went dormant, the sinkhole grew to 225 feet in diameter and 50 feet deep, Guthrie said.

“I don’t recall any sinkhole of this size (in Pasco County), nor one that had water in it,” Starkey said.

“I believe this is the largest one in the state of Florida in recent history,” Guthrie said.

Guthrie is unsure when the residents who were evacuated will be able to return home.

“Engineers are telling us that it’s not safe, as we move that heavy equipment in and out of here, with the sinkhole.We don’t know exactly where that safe edge is at.

“We’re going to be working with building engineers, with civil engineers … We are going to do everything in our power to get those people back in their homes as soon as we possibly can,” he said.

Guthrie also wanted to assure area residents: “We’re going to communicate with them every step of the way. We’re going to walk this road, hand-in-hand. We’re going to keep them informed. Do not fear, we are not going to turn our back on you. We are not going to let you down. We are going to be with you, every step of the way.

“The full strength of the Board of County Commission, the Pasco Sheriff’s Office,The United Way and Red Cross, Salvation Army and our community is all standing here with them, and we’re going to work it together,” Guthrie said. convinced them that they were buying into a golf course community.

Attorney Barbara Wilhite, who represents Carollo, countered that the golf course was built prior to the subdivision. She also said the existing zoning of the golf course would allow residential development, likely at a greater density than the proposed project.

Jones said no decision had been made on whether to pursue legal action to challenge the project.

holders to seek more construction money from the state for schools.

Commissioner Mike Wells also supports the compromise.

“It’s been a great opportunity to work with the school board more closely,”Wells said.

Commission Chairman Mike Moore said the board is focusing on providing infrastructure that’s needed in the county.

As more students come into the county, more schools are needed, he said.

He asked commissioners if they were all in agreement that they support the proposed rate schedule.

And, commissioners indicated they were.

“We’re at the point where enough is enough, and we’re ready to move forward as a board,” Moore concluded.

After the meeting, Pasco County Schools Superintendent Kurt Browning said he is pleased by the commission’s commitment.

Local gridiron star makes college announcement

By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

One of the area’s top football players plans to head north for his college career.

Jordan Miner, a rising senior defensive back at Wiregrass Ranch High School, has verbally committed to Penn State University, a Division I FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) program in State College, Pennsylvania.

He made the announcement on July 6, during a broadcast on Spectrum Sports Florida television network.

“I want to win states, so (making a decision) would be extra pressure off my back,” Miner said during the broadcast.

He added that academics was one of the biggest factors in his decision.

The four-star recruit — who claims nearly 30 scholarship offers — chose the Nittany Lions over University of Maryland, University of Oregon, University of Tennessee and University of Florida, among others.

In a later statement, Miner wrote, “...I would like to thank all of the coaches that took a chance on me in this recruiting process, but after all this time and prayer, I have decided it is best for me to attend college at Penn State.”

Miner (6-foot-1, 177 pounds) is widely regarded as one of the best players in Tampa Bay and throughout the state, based on various recruiting publications.

According to 247Sports, Miner is the nation’s No. 30 cornerback and the No. 49 prospect in Florida, ranked among the top 300 prospects for the 2018 recruiting class.

Other outlets, including Rivals.com, Scout.com and ESPN.com, have likewise rated Miner among the nation’s elite.

“Miner flashes impressive ball skills by high-pointing the ball, but also does a nice job of transforming into an offensive weapon once tucking it away,” a Scout.com evaluation report reads.“He also impresses with his ability to adjust and track the ball through the air. Miner has to continue to strengthen up his frame, but is a tough kid who is willing to come downhill with phys-

COURTESY OF PENN STATE ATHLETICS

If Miner ultimately signs with Penn State, he will join one of the nation’s most recognizable college football programs — and one that’s on the rise under fourth-year head coach James Franklin. Last season, Penn State went 11-3 and made a Rose Bowl appearance after winning the Big Ten Conference championship.

Jordan Miner was one of the key pieces that helped guide Wiregrass Ranch to a 7-3 mark and playoff appearance last season — its first winning campaign since 2010. He finished the 2016 season with 38 tackles, hauled in three interceptions and forced a fumble last season. Also a standout on special teams, Miner averaged over 33 yards per kick return.

Last season, Penn State went 11-3 and made a Rose Bowl appearance after winning the Big Ten Conference championship.

And, Miner likely won’t be the only athlete from The Laker/Lutz News coverage area on the Penn State football roster come 2018.

Gaither High School product Amani Oruwariye is entering his redshirt junior season with the Nittany Lions, as a defensive back.

Followers of the Pasco County prep football scene may recognize the Miner name.

Jordan’s older brother, Jaye Miner, was an All-State linebacker at Wiregrass Ranch High School from 2011 to 2014. He later played college football at Florida Atlantic University, a Division I FBS program in Boca Raton.

Local pitchers delay pro careers for college

Two of the area’s top pitchers are postponing their pro careers — for now.

Sunlake High School’s Tommy Mace and Steinbrenner High’s CJ Van Eyk — both selected in the middle rounds of June’s MLB Draft — have opted to forgo professional baseball contracts, and instead attend instate Division I programs.

Mace, drafted in the 12th round (347th overall) by the Cincinnati Reds, will pitch at the University of Florida, which last month won the 2017 College World Series — the first national title in program history.

Van Eyk, drafted in the 19th round (577th overall) by the New York Mets, will pitch at Florida State University, which reached the College World Series, but was later eliminated by Louisiana State University.

The draft-signing deadline was July 7; the draft featured 40 rounds and 1,205 picks in total.

Besides higher education, Mace and Van Eyk have a chance to further develop their pitching skillets with advanced college instruction.

AUDRA LEIPOLD COMMITS TO SAMFORD UNIVERSITY

Former Academy at the Lakes hoops standout Audra Leipold, now a rising senior at Seffner Christian Academy, has committed to Samford University, a Division I program in Homewood,Alabama.

Leipold, a 5-foot-7 combo guard, also held college offers from University of Tampa, Saint Leo University and Furman University in South Carolina.

Leipold was a four-year starter at Academy at the Lakes, until she transferred to Seffner Christian last July.

Regarded as one Audra Leipold of the top hoopers in Tampa, ESPN.com ranks Leipold among the nation’s top 80 guards based on her dribbling and passing skills, and mid-range shooting ability.

She averaged 12.1 points, 4.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game last season.

Two seasons ago, Leipold helped to take Academy at the Lakes to the Class 2A state final, the first time the Wildcats ever advanced that far.

Typically, that results in an improved draft stock — and larger corresponding signing bonuses.

Based on MLB guidelines, Mace and Van Eyk will be draft-eligible again in three years — players at four-year colleges and universities are eligible three years after first enrolling in such an institution, or after their 21st birthday (whichever occurs first).

Mace, a lanky 6-foot-7, 200-pound righty, was ranked by MLB.com as the No. 144 overall prospect in the 2017 draft.

The site lauds his projectable 94 mph fastball, and usable three-quarters breaking ball.

One of the more effective prep arms in the Tampa Bay area, Mace tallied a 1.29 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 70.2 innings, with an 82 record in 11 appearances — guiding Sunlake High to the Class 7A regional finals last season.

During his three-year varsity career, meanwhile, Mace won 19 games, posting a 1.65 ERA and 196 strikeouts in 165.2 innings.

Van Eyk was equally dominant throughout his prep career.

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound righty was ranked by MLB.com as the No. 120 overall

prospect in the 2017 draft.

In addition to a blistering 95-mile-perhour fastball that displays movement and sink,Van Eyk features an effective curveball and changeup.

His senior season, however, was cut short due to arm soreness. In limited action, he posted a 0.73 ERA and 56 strikeouts.

But, throughout his three-year varsity career, Van Eyk was virtually unhittable, tallying a 0.60 ERA and 250 strikeouts in 173.2 innings, and winning 24 games.

Van Eyk surged onto the national spotlight last summer as a member of the USA Baseball 18-and-under team’s pitching staff, helping the squad win gold at the Pan American Championships.

Also in 2016, he led Steinbrenner to its first state baseball title in and was crowned the Florida Dairy Farmers’ Class 8A Player of the Year.

Van Eyk wasn’t Steinbrenner’s only drafted player.

His teammate, first baseman Patrick Morris, was selected in the 14th round by the Toronto Blue Jays.

Morris, however, opted to turn pro, inking a signing bonus in excess of $200,000.

Saint Leo University has hired Caitlin Hansen to lead its women’s lacrosse program.

Hansen spent the past four seasons at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island.

COURTESY OF JOHNSON & WALES UNIVERSITY

Saint Leo names new women’s lacrosse head coach Caitlin Hansen is Saint Leo University’s new head women’s lacrosse coach.

Most recently, Hansen served as head women’s lacrosse coach at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, where she posted a 50-23 (.685) overall record in four seasons, including a 16-5 mark in 2017.

She replaces Leslie Graham, who resigned in May to “pursue other career opportunities.”

During her six seasons of coaching Saint Leo, Graham compiled a 41-54 record.

Besides leading Johnson & Wales, Hansen has served as a coach with the Team Elevate New England club women’s lacrosse program since 2013. Based out of Providence, Team Elevate is one of the nation’s top club

lacrosse organizations.

She previously served as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Bryant University, for the 2009 through 2011 seasons, where she was responsible for on- and off-campus recruiting, practice preparation, game film breakdown and opponent scouting reports, and travel logistics.

“We are excited to welcome Caitlin Hansen to our Saint Leo athletic community,” Saint Leo athletic director Francis X. Reidy said, in a statement.“We had a profile heading into this search, and Coach Hansen checked off each of the qualities we were looking for in impressive fashion. I know our women’s lacrosse team will be excited to be coached, work with, and be developed by Coach Hansen.”

A dual-outboard motorboat tows the full water ballet team, which looks like a chorus line on water skis.

These water skiers create quite a splash Worth the Trip

By B.C. Manion

f you enjoy color, drama and family friendly fun, the Tampa Bay Ski Show Team’s weekly offering may be right up your alley.

The setting is at a lake in Oldsmar, where parking is free, you can bring your own picnic, and there are shaded bleachers and picnic tables.There’s no admission charge, either, although free-will donations are accepted.

The shows are offered on Tower Lake, at 130 Burbank Road in Oldsmar, every Saturday, from March through October.

The pre-show, which starts at 5:30 p.m., features younger skiers. The theme show, which begins at 6 p.m., showcases more experienced performers.

More than 200 spectators, who showed up one recent Saturday night, saw barefoot skiing, slalom skiing, swivel skiing, water ballet, jumps, ensembles, pyramids and acrobatics.

Boats zipped across the water, picking up performers at docks on either end of the lake — providing a fast-paced show, which the crowd obviously enjoyed.

As skiers hit the water, announcer Peter Fernandez provided a running commentary.

Fernandez, of Lutz, joined the team in the early 1990s. He shared insights gleaned from decades of experience.

When four barefoot skiers zipped across the water, Fernandez said: “Smokin’ — that’s what I’m talking about folks.

“When skiers are skiing barefoot across the water, the boat speeds up to about 40 mph.”

As two young boys finished their act, Fernandez observed: “One of the hardest things you can learn as a skier is getting over the wakes.They got over it with ease.”

When an ensemble glided by, he noted: “They float over the water so gracefully, a thing of beauty to watch.”

Skiers gave the crowd a few thrills, too.

IF YOU GO SKI SHOW The Tampa Bay Water Ski Show Team holds weekly public performances on Saturday evenings, from the beginning of Daylight Savings Time until it ends (March through October).

WHERE: Tower Lake, at 130 Burbank Road in Oldsmar.

WHEN: Saturday pre-show at 5:30 p.m.; theme show, 6 p.m.

COST: Free (Donations are accepted) DETAILS: The pre-show features younger skiers; the theme show features experienced performers. The shows are entertaining, offering barefooted skiers, water ballet acts, jumps, pyramids and acrobatics. There are shaded bleachers and picnic tables. Concessions are available for purchase, but spectators also are welcome to bring coolers and picnics. There’s also room to sit near the lake’s edge, if spectators bring their own chairs.

INFO: TampaWaterSki.com

One soared high above the water on a Sky Ski; another employed a ski jump to propel over the lake — demonstrating daring acrobatic skills.

Skiers who created pyramids gave viewers a chance to see strength, precision and teamwork in action.

Throughout the show, Fernandez entertained the crowd, offering kernels of information about the sport of water skiing, individual skiers and their acts.

At one point, Fernandez asked for a show of hands of first-timers in the crowd.

As hands shot up, he informed them they were “newbies.”

Then he asked repeat attenders to raise their hands, and as they did, he called them “groupies.”

Sandra Gordon, a self-proclaimed groupie, was there to watch her sons, Clint, Brent and Brian.

“I love the beautiful show and the beautiful costumes,” she said.

Kayla Miller, who is Clint’s girlfriend, accompanied Gordon. “I come out to support Clint,” Miller said.

Show team members hail from such places as Tampa, St. Petersburg, Seminole, Odessa, Lake Keystone, Lake Padgett, New Port Richey and Winter Haven.

Many skiers come from families who have been involved with the team for generations.

The team traces it roots to the late 1950s and to a group called the Tampa Ski Bees, according to a club historical account.

The Ski Bees merged with a Lake Keystone group in 1977 to become George’s Ski and Seven members of the Tampa Bay Water Ski team create a three- Social Club in Odessa. tier pyramid. At the top of the pyramid is Mackenzie Pitock. In the The team continued to grow throughout the second row, from left, are Greta Nikel and Emerson Chiado. On 1980s — traveling the bottom, from left, are John Schmidt, Brent Gordon, Clint throughout the South Gordon and Matt Penn.

Strap Doubles partners Trina Sawaska and Clint Gordon wow the crowd with their beauty and strength, creating graceful movements while gliding quickly across the lake.

Show director Lauren Henry demonstrates her skills as a swivel skier. She recently took the team to a second-place finish in the Southern Regional Show Ski Tournament.

to perform at water ski shows and take part in competitions.

The club voted to change its name in 1987 to the U.S. Water Ski Show Team, and by 1991 had become better known as the Tampa Bay Water Ski Show Team, the account says.

Beyond earning accolades, the team’s camaraderie is apparent.

Team members said that’s because everyone can play a role, whether on the water or not.

You don’t have one kid on the field while the rest of the family sits in the stands watching,” said Lisa Stephens, a team volunteer.

“We’re all involved, and we have a mixture of members.

“Some adults have kids who ski in the shows, and the adults are the volunteers helping with concessions or laundry or sound, etc.

“Then we have some adult members who don’t have kids out there and just enjoy being part of the club. So they come out weekly to help on land, where needed.

“We have some senior members who had kids who skied on our team years ago, and the parents just keep coming back even though their children have moved away, etc.

“We really are a family out there,” Stephens said.

Birdie will steal your heart

Birdie is approximately 6 years old and declawed. This sweet girl is super affectionate and loving; she tries hard to get the attention of everybody that comes to the shelter.

If you are looking for a faithful companion who loves to snuggle, Birdie is your girl.

Lightning launches sixth-annual call to artists The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

The Tampa Bay Lightning have launched its sixth annual Open Call to Artists, asking Lightning fans and members of the local arts community to submit pieces of original artwork, which will be hung and displayed in Amalie Arena during the 2017-2018 season.

More than 200 local pieces of art have been displayed in the first five years of the exhibition. All the art is for sale, and proceeds directly go to the artist.

Once again, representatives from the Tampa Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, the Ringling Museum of Art and the Dali Museum will help to select the winning pieces from all submissions.

Participants of all ages are encouraged to

be creative, and depict anything and everything that inspires the artist, including hockey. This year, there will be a category for artists age 18 and younger.

Artists can enter works done in various art forms, including painting, photography, drawing, free-standing sculpture and wellhanging sculpture.

Each artist may submit up to three fully completed, original works of art.

The unveiling and reception will take place in late September or early October.

All submissions are due by Sept. 7, and artists will be notified on or before Sept. 23 of acceptance into the exhibition.
